Legends

I think there was a story I watched everyday as a kid, and it was about a monk going towards the Buddhist side of China for some sort of re carnation ceremony. In his journey, he battles many different types of monsters, he doesn't really battle, it is his team that helps him through. A monkey, who has the strongest cane in the world, helps the monk guide through tough enemies, and so does the pig and the guy with a huge spear. The monk was very handsome and many ladies saw him as a man who can lustfully be with her. The monk refused, at one point, a very beautiful girl, and she gets mad. This book eventually became a movie made in the 1990's where I watched for over five years. Until, this day, though I can't find it anymore, I still have all of the things in my head. All the eerie events that chill my spines and all the funny things and the awkward music that goes on. This is a legend that I found to be my childhood.
