Journey to the West: The Strongest Worker System

Since Tang Sanzang was so determined to go to the Jinguang Temple, the disciples naturally didn't say much. Zhu Ba and the monkey even looked at each other and saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

Just hearing about the theft of the Buddhist treasures in the Jinguang Temple, they could sense that something big was going on behind it. They thought it was probably caused by monsters, so they naturally wanted to do something about it.

It was a little different from what they imagined. The Jinguang Temple was in ruins and had no scale and prosperity as a temple in the imperial city.

Look at that. The incense and lights in the ancient temple were cold, and the leaves in the empty corridors were swept by the wind. There were a few pine trees in the towering thousand-foot tower. There were no visitors passing by the fallen flowers on the ground, and the spider webs in front of the eaves were allowed to climb cages. The drums were empty, the bells were hung in vain, and the painted walls were covered with dust and colorful images. The lecture hall was quiet and the monks were not seen, but the Zen hall was quiet and birds were often seen. It was desolate and sighing, and the loneliness was endless. Although there was an incense burner in front of the Buddha, the ashes were cold and the flowers were withered, and everything was empty.

Tang Sanzang felt inexplicably sad, and even shed tears. Along the way, he had seen many temples in ruins, but he had never seen such a thing.

Although he was disappointed with the Buddhists in Lingshan, it did not mean that he was disappointed with the entire Buddhist sect. At least he still wanted to become a Buddha, to become his own Buddha.

When he came to the door and knocked gently, he saw several monks, wearing shackles, helping them open the door. They looked a little embarrassed.

Tang Sanzang followed him in, but unlike what he saw outside, it was still very clean inside. I think these monks, even though they were in a mess, still cleaned diligently in the past.

When he came to the front of the temple and faced the Buddha statues, Tang Sanzang worshiped them one by one, offering incense and bowing three times and nine times to show his respect.

Afterwards, he met the abbot of Jinshan Temple and asked about all these things, why such a large temple would become like this. There are also many monks who dress like this, wearing shackles on their bodies, begging on the streets outside, like sinners.

The abbot also sighed softly and said that originally, the pagoda of Jinguang Temple was covered with auspicious clouds, auspicious mist rose high, and the night glow was seen by people thousands of miles away; the daytime sprayed colorful air, and the surrounding four countries all looked up. Therefore, this Jinguang Temple became the national temple of Jisai State, and it also attracted people from all directions to come to the court. With the blessing of the Buddhist relics, it also developed well.

But who would have thought that three years ago, on the first day of the first month of autumn, at midnight, a bloody rain fell. At dawn, every family was afraid and every household was sad. The ministers reported to the king, wondering what the God of Heaven was responsible for. At that time, Taoist priests were invited to hold a ceremony, and monks were invited to read scriptures to thank the heavens and the earth.

Who would have known that under the bloody rain, the Buddhist relics of the golden pagoda of Jinguang Temple were also stolen, which led to the fact that foreign countries did not come to pay tribute in the past two years. The king of Jisai State was furious and thought that the monks in the temple had stolen the treasures, so there was no previous situation, so he arrested them and tortured them in every possible way.

In the past, there were three generations of monks in Jinguang Temple. Due to torture, the first two generations have died. Now only monks of their generation are still there, and they can only live like this with shackles every day.

"Amitabha, good, good, may I ask, is it true that no one of you stole the Buddha's treasure relic?"

Tang Sanzang couldn't help but ask, if it was really man-made, he could do nothing, but if it was not their doing, he would definitely speak in front of the king.

The abbot said hurriedly: "Master, how dare we steal the Buddha treasure in the pagoda? It is the most precious treasure of our Jinguang Temple. I hope you will pity us and use your magic power to save our lives. Otherwise, we will lose our lives soon and Jinguang Temple will no longer exist."

Tang Sanzang nodded and sighed: "In this case, I will definitely take care of it for you, find the person who stole the treasure for you, and tell the king about this matter."

Hearing Sanzang's agreement, the monks hurriedly thanked him and even took the initiative to bring food for the master and his disciples. They had saved a lot of these foods, and now they took them out to thank him.

After eating, Tang Sanzang said that he would go to clean the pagoda, which was also a fulfillment of his wish. Hearing this, the little monks in the temple brought three copies, Tang Sanzang, Monkey and Zhu Ba.

According to legend, the relics are the bones left after the cremation of the body of a great Buddhist master. However, since it can become the most precious treasure in the pagoda of Jinguang Temple, I think this relic must be quite good, and even Zhu Ba is a little tempted.

You know, the relic is a super existence in the sequel to Journey to the West.

The three came to the pagoda and saw this pagoda, which was majestic and leaning against the Han River, and soaring into the sky. It is called the Five-Colored Glazed Pagoda and the Thousand-Gold Relic Peak. The stairs turned like a cave, and the door opened like a cage. The treasure bottle reflected the moon in the sky, and the sound of the golden bell spread like the wind on the sea. But you can see the empty eaves and arches, and the clouds are left on the top. The empty eaves and arches are made into a phoenix with ingenious stones passing through flowers; the clouds are left on the top, creating a pagoda surrounded by mist dragons. You can see thousands of miles away from a distance, and it seems to be in the sky. The glazed lamps on the layers of doors are dusty but not fire; the white jade railings in front of the eaves are dirty and flying.Insects. In the center of the tower, on the Buddha seat, the incense is gone; outside the window lattice, in front of the god, spider webs are entangled. There are more rat droppings in the stove, and less oil in the lamp.

Because it was dark, the monkey simply held the lamp in front, while Zhu Ba and Sanzang swept the tower in the back. There was a lot of dust inside. I think after it was sealed, the monks of Jinguang Temple couldn't get in.

One floor after another, Zhu Ba and Sanzang were in good physical strength and their hands and feet were very nimble. After cleaning, at about three o'clock in the morning, everyone swept to the twelfth floor and was about to reach the top of the tower.

But suddenly, the three of them stopped what they were doing, but they heard someone talking on the top of the tower at this time.

"It's a bit strange. It's the middle of the night. How can someone talk up there?"

Listening to the monkey's words, Tang Sanzang also nodded, with some doubts.

Zhu Ba smiled and said, "Master, Monkey, maybe it's the monster that stole the Buddha's treasure. In criminal psychology, there is a kind of criminal who wants to return to the crime scene after committing a crime to satisfy his sense of accomplishment."

Tang Sanzang and Monkey did not understand Zhu Ba's so-called criminal psychology, but they understood that the person who spoke above was most likely the one who stole the Buddha's treasure.

Zhu Ba did not mind, but was looking forward to seeing the legendary Benboerba and Babolben. These two fish monsters became a little famous in later generations, especially the classic music, You are Babolben, I am Benboerba, Babolben, Benboerba

The three of them stepped lightly and quickly stepped onto the top of the thirteen-story tower, but saw two monsters sitting on it, facing a plate of appetizers, playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking.

Zhu Ba took the initiative to step forward, holding the nine-toothed rake in his hand, and shouted at the two monsters: "Hey, you treasure-stealing monsters, where are you going to escape!"

The two fish monsters were about to escape when they saw that the situation was not right, but Monkey King had already stepped forward and surrounded Zhu Ba. Tang Sanzang blocked them at the stairs, not giving them any chance to escape.

Zhu Ba and Monkey King easily subdued these two idiots, and after a while, they knelt in front of the three.

"Tell me, who are you? Why are you on the pagoda of Jinguang Temple? Also, are you the ones who stole the Buddhist treasure? If you dare to hide anything, I, Marshal Tianpeng, will let you go directly to the underworld!"

Hearing Zhu Ba claiming to be Marshal Tianpeng, the two fish monsters were immediately discouraged and did not dare to hide anything. They shouted for mercy and explained everything.

The two of them were originally arranged by the Wansheng Dragon King of the Bi Bo Lake in Luanshi Mountain to come to this place to train the pagoda. One of them is called Benboerba, the other is called Babolben, one is a catfish monster, and the other is a black fish spirit.

But the Wansheng Dragon King has a dragon girl named Wansheng Princess, who is beautiful. A few years ago, she recruited a prince consort, called the Nine-Headed Prince Consort, who has great magical powers. Three years ago, she and the Wansheng Dragon King rained blood, polluted the formation on the pagoda, and stole the Buddhist treasure relic in the pagoda. Not only that, the Wansheng Princess was so bold that she went to the Lingxiao Palace in Daluo Heaven and stole the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum from the Queen Mother and kept the Buddhist treasure at the bottom of the pagoda.

Recently, he got the news that someone was going to pass by on the journey to the west to seek Buddhist scriptures. The Wansheng Dragon King knew the extraordinaryness of Marshal Tianpeng and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, so he arranged for them to watch over here from time to time. Once they found any clues, they would report immediately so that they could make preparations in advance.

"Damn it, this Wansheng Dragon King is so bold that he dared to do such evil things. I will not let him off easily! Amitabha, Bajie, I am going to practice the magical power of the Great Power Heavenly Dragon!"

Hearing all this, Tang Sanzang was naturally furious, and even made up his mind to practice the Buddhist magical power "Great Power Heavenly Dragon".

Those poor monks outside were just because these dragon kings and dragon girls satisfied their own selfish desires. They were absolutely unforgivable and must be punished.
