Tang Seng was instantly enraged and asked Monkey King to go and ask for an explanation.
The monk did not dare to tell them what had happened on the street, so he brought Ye Chen, Tang Seng, and his disciples to the Jinguang Temple, which was built by them to protect the country.
It turned out that there used to be a Sarira on the pagoda of the Jinguang Temple. During the day, it would emit a gorgeous seven-colored light and be surrounded by colorful clouds. At night, it would illuminate the surroundings like a luminous pearl and be as bright as the moon.
And this color could be seen by the surrounding countries, so they regarded this place as the divine capital. Every year, they would pay tribute and everyone would come here to pay their respects.
Unexpectedly, on that night three years ago, the wind was strong and the clouds were dense. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Sand and dust were flying all over the sky. People closed their doors and windows tightly and did not come out.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the sky. Accompanied by bursts of thunder, it actually rained blood.
It was at this time that the Sarira changed. Under the scouring of the blood rain, the Sarira became dim and could not return to its original state no matter how hard it was wiped.
Seeing this, the abbot could not bear it and fainted.
When the surrounding countries found that the Sarira was no longer as radiant as before, they stopped paying tribute to the country.
The King was enraged. He listened to the slanderous words of others, saying that all this had happened because the monks in the temple had stolen the treasure. Thus, he arrested everyone in the temple, from the abbot to the cleaners, without exception.
Recently, it was said that two monks had been beaten to death.
After hearing this, Tang Seng could not bear to see the Jinguang Temple suffer such a great disaster. He planned to clean the pagoda himself at night and ask for Buddha's protection.
However, Monkey King was worried about Tang Seng going alone, so he planned to accompany him.
So after dinner, Tang Seng and Monkey King each took a new broom and prepared to clean the pagoda.
They first went to the main hall to burn incense and pray to Buddha. Then they opened the door of the pagoda and swept the floor from the bottom to the top. He was busy all the way until midnight before he finally reached the tenth floor.
Tang Seng was so tired that he could not straighten his back, so he ordered the Monkey King to sweep the remaining three floors for him.
When Monkey King scanned the twelfth floor, he heard a sound coming from the top of the tower. It seemed like someone was talking. The Monkey King found it strange, so he went out of the pagoda door and rode a cloud to check.
He saw that there were two demons on the thirteenth floor, playing drinking games. He thought for a moment, then stood at the door and said, "So it was you two little demons who stole the treasure."
The Monkey King captured the two little demons and brought them to Tang Seng. When Tang Seng asked him why he did this, they refused to tell him.
Under the Monkey King's coercion, they told him the truth: Not far from the capital, in the Jadewave Pond of the Rocky Mountain, there lived Wan Sheng Dragon King, Wan Sheng Princess, and her son-in-law, the Nine-Headed Prince Consort.
Three years ago, they coveted the treasure in the pagoda, so the Dragon King and the Prince Consort came to the city and cast a spell to create a rain of blood, taking the opportunity to steal the treasure.
That Wan Sheng Princess was also not easy to deal with. She stole the Empress's precious treasure, the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Grass.
They placed the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Grass in a jar and placed the Sarira inside to nourish it, allowing it to shine day and night.
Recently, Wan Sheng Dragon King heard that Tang Seng and the rest were passing by here, so he sent the Abalone Spirit and the Grass Carp Spirit to patrol here. He wanted to find out more about Tang Seng and the rest and see how to deal with them.
After Tang Seng heard it, he asked the Monkey King to tie them up and bring them to the King to prove the innocence of the monks in the temple.
