Chapter 829: The Tragedy of Jinguang Temple
Tang Sanzang also hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "The poor monk is from the Tang Dynasty in the east, who went to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. This time he came here to exchange customs clearance documents with the king. Unexpectedly, he found that my Buddha was in this city. Some of my disciples are confused that they have suffered such a disaster, so they want to find a reason and answer!"
After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, the old monk heard this and hurriedly invited Tang Sanzang, master and disciple, into his room.
Looking at Tang Sanzang, he finally made it clear.
It turns out that his Jinguang Temple was originally the largest temple in the country, and it was also the place where the king of the country respected it the most.
Historically, no one in this country dared to disrespect the monks of Jinguang Temple.
Because there is a treasure in the Jinguang Temple that emits golden light. This strange sight makes several nearby countries think that the Jisai Kingdom is a place blessed by God.
As a result, many countries pay tribute to the Sasai Kingdom every year in the hope that the Jinguang Temple can protect them.
Such good days have lasted for a long time, and the kings of the Sai Sai Kingdom have great respect for Jinguang Temple.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. Although this Jinguang Temple has always been respected by the king, the reason is because there is a treasure here that can emit golden light.
But just a few years ago, a bloody rain suddenly fell from the sky. After the rain stopped, the monks of Jinguang Temple discovered that the Jinguang Temple no longer emitted golden light.
This shocked them.
At the same time, the entire Jisai Kingdom also discovered this phenomenon.
The King of Jisai Kingdom came to check in person and found that the Golden Light Temple was indeed no longer shrouded in golden light.
This made him furious instantly.
In addition, the nearby countries at this moment also saw the changes in Jinguang Temple.
They thought that God no longer protected the Jisai Kingdom, so they had the idea of occupying it.
All troops and generals were mobilized to prepare for war.
The external war and the loss of the golden light of the Jinguang Temple made the King of Jisaiguo furious. He believed that the reason why the Jinguang Temple lost its golden light was because the monks stole the treasure.
So put all the monks in Jinguang Temple into prison!
"The eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty don't know something. This king arrested all the hundreds of monks in Jinguang Temple. Under severe torture, he asked about the whereabouts of this treasure, but we really didn't steal it! Naturally, we can't tell it. Just like that, poor people The monk's predecessors, uncles, and others were all beaten to death, and only we, the third generation disciples, are left!
In the end, the king also saw that no one had spoken out after killing so many people, and thought that maybe we didn't know either, but he was unwilling to let us go, so he put them all in shackles and became sinners. Now Ji Saiguo's thoughts are gone. Focus on the fights between several countries on the border and ignore us! This is how we can at least get some hope of living now! "
After the old monk finished speaking, he covered his face and burst into tears.
After hearing this, Tang Sanzui also felt a little sentimental.
There are so many things in it!
"Oh, old monk, you want money at the expense of your life. Just take out this treasure, put it in this temple, and let it emit golden light! Why do you have to be reluctant to part with it and suffer in the end!"
Zhu Bajie looked at the old monk and said.
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he waved his hand directly to Zhu Bajie.
"This elder has been wronged! The poor monks of the past generations did not hide this treasure, and we really did not take it! As for where this treasure went? We don't know anymore!"
The old monk looked at Zhu Bajie and said.
"Since you didn't take it, it's easy. You just tell the king no. I can't blame you for not taking it!"
After Zhu Bajie finished speaking, the old monk was stunned for a while.
Tang Sanzang shook his head and said: "Bajie, if everything is as simple as you think, it will be fine. You have to know that even if they say they don't take it, the king doesn't believe it. No matter if they take it or not, This king just wants to blame them!"
After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, Zhu Bajie patted the table directly after hearing this.
"There is still something like this. If I ask you, old pig, you are also a coward. Since you really didn't take it, why did you let the king frame him like this and just beat him back!"
Zhu Bajie said dissatisfied.
After Tang Sanzang heard this, he scolded Zhu Bajie and said: "Bajie, how can you be so confident? You understand that the people in Jinguang Temple are monks who wholeheartedly worship the Buddha, not robbers. Now they are It is the king who is to blame, and what ability do they have to stop it? They are not like you, they are always fighting and killing, and they don’t have the strength like you!"
After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, Zhu Bajie said oh, yes, these are just a group of monks. How dare they resist the king of their own country? It was indeed a mistake!
Zhu Bajie patted his head, feeling that he had indeed gone astray.
Tang Sanzang was also a little anxious at this moment. The experience of this group of monks was too tragic, and it really couldn't go on like this.
Otherwise, he would have been killed in vain, and the Buddhist disciples would have suffered a great injustice.
"This elder, I don't know where this treasure is. I'll go take a look. Maybe I can find some clues!"
Tang Sanzang said.
Upon hearing this, the old monk pointed to the attic of his main hall.
"It turned out to be up here, but now it's gone. We went to look for it, but it's gone!"
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he looked up at the attic and waved to Zhu Bajie.
"Bajie, go up with Master and take a look. Wujing, you are here to guard our things!"
After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, he went up the stairs, and Zhu Bajie accompanied Tang Sanzang step by step with a look of reluctance.
After the master and apprentice went up to the attic, Tang Sanzang looked at the situation above and shook his head. There was nothing above.
And there is only one shelf for this treasure.
Zhu Bajie looked outside dissatisfied. Tang Sanzang was really troublesome. It was obviously gone. Could you have found it if you came up? You can do this!
Just as Zhu Bajie looked outside with a look of reluctance, he suddenly rubbed his eyes.
Tang Sanzang searched for a long time and found no clues, so he felt a little worried.
"Let's go, Bajie, go down. There are no clues. Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to help them this time. If not, go directly to the king and ask him to pardon the Jinguang Temple! I don't know if my teacher has this ability. Will this king give me this face as a teacher?"
Tang Sanzang muttered to himself.
And he found that Zhu Bajie had stuck his head out from the entrance of the attic.
