    • Synopsis
    • A long, long time ago, devils were rampant in East-land. Master Tang, who was second apprentice of Buddha Rulai in his previous life, swore to Leiyin Temple in West to fetch scriptures to purify East-land. Following the orders of Buddha Rulai, Bodhisattva Guanyin arranged four disciples: Sun Walker, Bajie, Wujing and White-dragon horse, they must protect and accompany master Tang through asceticism, and only after eighty-one challenges can they fetch the scriptures and return to East-land. This time, Sun Walker and his partners are blocked in Fiery Mountain and need the plantain fan of Princess Raksasi to put out the fire of the Fiery Mountain so that they're able to continue the journey of retrieving original Buddhist scriptures. However, a few years ago, Holy-baby King was for attempting to seek eternal life by attacking and attempting to eat the meat of Sun walker’s master, Tang Sanzang. Sun Walker, with the force of Bodhisattva Guanyin, subdued Holy-baby King, the son of Princess Raksasi and Bull-demon King, which leads to a series of confrontations between them later. Finally, Bull-Demon King then showed his true colors and the two engaged in a series of battles. Throughout the battle, the two transformed into different shapes and forms in an attempt to defeat the other. Losing to Bull-Demon King, who had been practicing the martial arts for the past 500 years, Sun walker and his allies faced imminent death. It was then that the Gods, Buddhas and heavenly fighters descended to subdue Bull-Demon King, saving Sun walker and his allies. After his brush with death, Sun walker valued the importance of solidarity and believe that all hurdles can be overcome if the team is united as one. The reborn Sun Walker finally understands that the brave must rely on courage, loyalty and teamwork to defeat the demons and complete their mission. The film is in the form of a road movie that depicts the companionship of Sun Walker, master Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and other partners. The whole movie conveys a positive belief: no matter how difficult the challenges are, as long as we work together and never give up, we can ultimately achieve the goal.
