Chapter 5: Punished by the Buddha
Sun Wukong was in charge of guarding the Peach Garden, but he heard that the peaches were precious fruits that could make people live forever. So he stole and ate many peaches, and also caused chaos at the Peach Festival. The Jade Emperor was very angry when he found out and sent the god Erlang Shen Yang Jian to capture him.
Erlang Shen was highly skilled in martial arts and fought with Sun Wukong, and neither could win. The Jade Emperor ordered the Supreme Lord Lao to use his Diamond Circle to attack Sun Wukong from behind, knocking him to the ground. Sun Wukong was caught by the heavenly soldiers and tied to the Execution Platform.
However, Sun Wukong had already eaten the immortal peaches, so ordinary punishments could not kill him at all. The Jade Emperor had to press him under the Five Elements Mountain to make him reflect on his mistakes. For five hundred years, he remained trapped there.
