About this episode
We're back in the story of the Monkey King as he and the crew continues their journey to the west. Xanzang, the monk, of course gets captured again, but this time, it's by the son of an old friend of Monkey's from back in his pillaging days! He figures things should go well. Because, of course, there is nothing children love more than being bossed around.
The creature is the L'esak, and it's why you shouldn't eat that delicious road bread, no matter how good it looks.
