The first disciple
that Wong Lai-Tsao found was the Monkey King, who was imprisoned beneath a
large pile of rocks. He struggled to convince the Monkey King to free
himself and join him on his quest. When he was about to be killed by
demons, the Monkey King quickly gave up on trying to be difficult and began to
help. Due to this, he was able to show the Monkey King that he should be
himself, instead of someone else. Overall, he plays a short and very
important role in the story, and helps to convey the idea of "being
yourself."
