THE MONKEY KING: IMPRISONMENT

The story began here- THE MONKEY KING: THE BEGINNING 

And continued here- THE MONKEY KING: HAVOC IN HEAVEN

This is the conclusion.

                                                       ***************************

With all of their options exhausted, the Jade Emperor and the authorities of Heaven appealed to the Buddha, who arrived from his temple in the West. They pleaded with Buddha to help them stop the Monkey King and he agreed. Buddha approached Sun Wukong (Monkey King) and made a bet with him, he bet Sun could not escape from his palm with a single jump. Sun Wukong, knowing that he could cover 54,000 kilometers in one leap, smugly agreed.  Sun jumped and landed somewhere that seemed like the end of the world in seconds, all that was visible were five huge pillars, Wukong decided that he had surely reached the ends of heaven so he signed “Great Sage equal of Heaven” on one of the pillars and also urinated on it (to mark his territory I guess, let’s not forget he’s part monkey), and with another leap he was back on Buddha’s palm. He told Buddha he had won but Buddha told him he was still on his hand and then Sun realized the five pillars he saw were actually Buddha’s fingers when he saw his ‘autograph’ and well urine on one of them.

Buddha turned his hand into a mountain and placed it on top of Sun Wukong to stop his attempt to escape and before he could shake it off (as no mountain could stop my nigga) he was sealed with a talisman and so there the Monkey King stayed sealed for 500 years. The story of what happened after is the plot for the classic Chinese novel “Journey To The West”.
