Summary:
Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, is responsible for guarding the treasures for Heaven. His son Nezha (played by Shi Xiaolong) is smart and has strong martial arts skills. One day, Zhu Bajie (played by Hao Shaowen), the godson of the landlord, broke into the house and caused a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Nezha helped Fang escape from danger, and the two became friends from then on. The two little guys suddenly became playful and made the study room a mess. At this time, the Dragon Palace of the West Sea and the East China Sea were getting married, but the Dragon Girl of the West Sea was unwilling to get married. Nezha was playing at the beach, causing turmoil in the Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Girl even took the opportunity to escape. Nezha came to help and started fighting with the Third Prince.
On the other hand, there is a Stone Monkey on the Flower and Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country in the East China Sea. After thousands of years of wind and rain, and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, the stone monkey (played by Lin Zhiying) finally transformed into shape. Under the instructions of the Monkey Ancestor, he learned the seventy-two. He changed like this and decided to go to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to retrieve the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. His arrival caused chaos in the Dragon Palace...

Greeny is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, named after its first famous owner, Peter Green in 1964-65. He used it during his time in John Mayall and Fleetwood Mac before selling it to Gary Moore in the early 1970s. Moore used the guitar throughout his career, both as a solo artist and in bands. Due to financial troubles, he was forced to sell it in 2006, after which it passed through several private collectors and guitar dealers. In 2014, Greeny was acquired by Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, who has since used it both in the studio and during live performances.
