Origin Story
话说唐僧师徒西天取经途中，途径一座妖魔横行的山谷。山谷中，妖魔作乱，百姓苦不堪言。孙悟空见状，决心为民除害。他手持金箍棒，施展七十二变，上天入地，无所不能。他先用分身之术迷惑妖魔，再用筋斗云快速穿梭于山谷之中，将妖魔一一制服。最终，孙悟空大显神通，将妖魔全部消灭，解救了山谷中的百姓，受到人们的赞扬。
On their way to the West to obtain scriptures, Tang Sanzang and his disciples passed through a valley infested with demons. In this valley, demons wreaked havoc, and the people suffered unbearably. Seeing this, Sun Wukong decided to help the people. With his golden cudgel, seventy-two transformations, and the ability to travel to the heavens and earth, he did everything he could. First, he confused the demons with his clone technique, then he sped through the valley with his somersault cloud, subduing the demons one by one. Finally, Sun Wukong showed his great power, eliminated all the demons, and rescued the people in the valley, for which he was praised by the people.
