Get Guanyin a back brace. She carrying these boys

You really help me sleep at night. My right shoulder only relaxes when I hear one or more of your videos

[alphabug]

journey to the west story formula:
1. A demon wants to eat Tang Sanzang to gain immortality
2. Demon captures Tang Sanzang through trickery/shapeshifting
3. Demon is too strong for the disciples, Wukong then goes to heaven to ask for help
4. Demon is defeated with the help of gods
5. Demon turns out to be a pet of a god from heaven
6. Demon returns to heaven as a pet

Moral of the story is: Just because you're a god, doesn't make you a responsible pet owner...

[chriscripplercruz]

I always thought the Monkey King was a extremely powerful diety yet he needs help from others to win just about every battle

This lore is pretty awesome.. A lot of the stories kind of play out the same but have subtle differences in the moral of the story.. Thanks for putting these together! Waiting for episode 4!
