Description
Book Synopsis: This book contains the full text of the 7th, 8th and 9th stories in our Journey to the West series for people learning to read Chinese. The three stories told here are unchanged from our original versions except for minor editing and reformatting.
Book 7 ("The Monster of Black Wind Mountain"): As their journey gets underway, they encounter a mysterious river-dwelling dragon, then run into serious trouble while staying in the temple of a 270 year old abbot. Their troubles deepen when they meet the abbot’s friend, a terrifying black bear monster, and Sun Wukong must defend his master.
Book 8 ("The Hungry Pig"): The monk, now called Tangseng, acquires two more disciples. The first is the pig-man Zhu Bajie, the embodiment of stupidity, laziness, lust and greed. In his previous life, Zhu was the Marshal of the Heavenly Reeds, responsible for the Jade Emperor’s entire navy and 80,000 sailors. Unable to control his appetites, he got drunk at a festival and attempted to seduce the Goddess of the Moon. The Jade Emperor banished him to earth, but as he plunged from heaven to earth he ended up in the womb of a sow and was reborn as a man-eating pig monster. He was married to a farmer’s daughter, but fights with Sun Wukong and ends up joining becoming the monk’s second disciple.
Book 9 ("The Three Beautiful Daughters"): Sha Wujing was once the Curtain Raising Captain but was banished from heaven by the Yellow Emperor for breaking an extremely valuable cup during a drunken visit to the Peach Festival. The travelers meet Sha and he joins them as Tangseng’s third and final disciple. The band of pilgrims arrive at a beautiful home seeking a simple vegetarian meal and a place to stay for the night. What they encounter instead is a lovely and wealthy widow and her three even more lovely daughters. This meeting is, of course, much more than it appears to be, and it turns into a test of commitment and virtue for all of the pilgrims, especially for the lazy and lustful pig-man Zhu Bajie.
These stories are written, as much as possible, using the 1200-word vocabulary of HSK4. They are presented in Simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, and includes an English version and complete glossary. Free audiobooks are available on YouTube’s Imagin8 Press channel, and on our website, www.imagin8press.com.
