- [poster 1] 1. Monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy were guarding the Tang monk on his journey west to collect scriptures. One day they came to a perilous place where barren mountains stretched to the sky. Monkey drew a circle on the ground and told the others to sit in it while he went to scout the mountains and find a path. A man-eating witch, the White-bone Demon, was lying in wait close by.
