Chapter 6: The Monk Tang
Five hundred years later, Bodhisattva Guanyin came to the Five Elements Mountain and told Sun Wukong that as long as someone passed by here, he could regain his freedom. Sure enough, a monk named Tang Sanzang arrived at the mountain. Tang Sanzang was a kind monk who, guided by Guanyin, was traveling to the Western Heaven to obtain sacred scriptures.
Seeing Sun Wukong trapped under the mountain, Tang Sanzang felt compassion in his heart. He removed the seal on the mountain. Sun Wukong regained his freedom and was moved to tears. He decided to take Tang Sanzang as his master and accompany him to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures.
The master and disciple set out on their journey to obtain the scriptures. Along the way, they encountered various demons and monsters, but Sun Wukong protected Tang Sanzang with his magical powers. Although Sun Wukong's character was sometimes naughty, Tang Sanzang always patiently taught him.
