Journey to the West EP5: The CheChi city

In this episode of the podcast, we delve into the mysterious adventures in the Kingdom of Che Chi from 'Journey to the West.' Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing orchestrate an exquisite scam, using magic to remain silent and still like clay sculptures, leading the Taoists to mistakenly believe a deity has descended, sparking a tale about immortality.  In this prank, Sun Wukong’s cleverness shines brilliantly, as he transforms into a little immortal and leaves behind 'Holy Water,' which is nothing more than his urine, amusing and embarrassing the Taoists with wit and humor! Ultimately, through their ever-changing magical powers, they win the trust of the King of Che Chi, even summoning the Four Sea Dragon Kings, leaving the entire kingdom in awe.  With rain-making as the wager, Sun Wukong’s magic once again sets off a grand rain battle in the city, gradually uncovering the Taoists’ tricks. In the tense and dramatic plot, the brothers’ tacit understanding and trust are perfectly demonstrated. Want to know more about this legendary story?
