Chapter 578: Mastermind

"While the monks are chanting sutras, they don't know who has defiled the golden pagoda in my temple. Over the past few years, foreign countries have stopped coming to us to send things to us."

"In the end, some ministers couldn't stand it anymore, so they said that the monks here had stolen the treasures on the tower."

"Your Excellency, how can we be so deceitful as to steal the treasures from the pagoda? I hope you can help us and rescue us."

Tang Xuanzang nodded when he heard this, sighed and said:

"It can be seen from this incident that it was a failure. Secondly, you have a disaster. Since the sky has rained blood and defiled the pagoda, why didn't you just report it to the emperor at that time? Instead, you are suffering so much here now. bitter."

After the monks heard this, they quickly explained to Tang Xuanzang:

"We are all ordinary people, how can we understand God's will? Besides, our predecessors don't know it, so how can we know it?"

Tang Xuanzang sighed after hearing this, and then continued:

"What time is it now, Sun Wukong?"

Sun Wukong looked at the sun in the sky, thought carefully for a long time, and then said to Tang Xuanzang: "Master, it is now three quarters at noon."

After Tang Xuanzang heard what Sun Wukong said, he thought carefully for a long time and then continued:

"Forget it, now we should go to the king to exchange for the clearance document. As for your matter, I really have no choice because we don't know who the real culprit is."

"Since I left Chang'an, I have sworn in front of temples that I will burn incense and worship Buddha and sweep pagodas whenever I see them. However, now there are monks who are humiliated by pagodas."

"You buy me a new broom, and after I've cleaned it, I'll go up and clean it, and then I'll see if there's any way to solve this kind of thing, so I can tell His Majesty and save them."

Sun Wukong nodded when he heard this, and then immediately followed what Tang Xuanzang said.

When the shackled monks heard this, they quickly took out a knife from the kitchen and handed it to Zhu Bajie, and said to Zhu Bajie:

"Then let your senior brother break my shackles first."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie smiled at the monks and said:

"Don't worry about this. My senior brother will easily open the shackles on your hands."

When Sun Wukong heard the words, he immediately stepped forward and wiped it with his hands, and all the shackles fell down. The little monk quickly ran to the kitchen and arranged some meals. After the master and the disciples finished eating, the sky gradually turned gray.

Immediately, the shackled monk came in with two brooms. Tang Xuanzang felt very happy when he saw this.

After a while, the little monk lit a lamp and asked Tang Xuanzang to take a bath. At the same time, the stars in the sky gradually fell on the ground.

After Tang Xuanzang washed himself, he put on his clothes for a short while, put on soft shoes, got the broom and said to the monks:

"You guys wait for me here for a while, and I'll go and sweep your pagoda now."

After Tang Xuanzang said this, he came to the pagoda. After a while, Sun Wukong said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Master, you have to be careful. It's already night, and the tower seems to have been polluted by the blood rain and is dark. I'm afraid some monsters will appear, so it's better for me to accompany you now."

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he smiled and nodded to Sun Wukong. Then the two of them each took a handful and went to the main hall to light the glass lamp.

Tang Xuanzang bowed to the Buddha statue in front of him and said:

"The disciple Tang Xuanzang came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to the Western Heaven to obtain the true scriptures. Now that I have passed by here, I want to come here to ask why those monks were framed."

After Tang Xuanzang said this, he and Sun Xingzhe opened the door of the pagoda and swept up from the lower level. This pagoda is really extremely steep and every step is thrilling.

Tang Xuanzang took a broom and swept one floor, then searched another floor online, and suddenly reached the seventh floor, but it was already early in the morning. Tang Xuanzang gradually felt sleepy. When Sun Wukong saw this, he said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Master, if you are sleepy, please sit down first and I will clean it for you."

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he asked Sun Wukong in confusion: "How many floors does this pagoda have?"

After hearing this, Sun Wukong thought seriously for a long time and then said to Tang Xuanzang: "I don't know about this. I'm afraid there are thirteen levels."

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he said to Sun Wukong: "You must finish him off before you can put an end to my thoughts."

After Tang Xuanzang said this, he stood up and swept a few floors. After a while, his back ached and he sat on the tenth floor to rest and said to Sun Wukong:

"Wukong, you will help me sweep all the remaining layers."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately cheered up and went to the upper floor. While he was cleaning, he suddenly heard someone talking on the top of the tower. Sun Wukong was very confused, so he raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand and quietly came to the thirteenth floor. .

Sun Wukong took a closer look and found two goblins sitting there, with a bowl of rice in front of him and several glasses of wine beside him. Sun Wukong immediately rushed out and said loudly:

"Good guys, it turns out you two stole the treasure here."

After the two monsters heard what Sun Wukong said, they were very surprised, so they panicked, stood up in a hurry, picked up the pots and pans, and prepared to run away.

Sun Wukong raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand, stopped the two of them and said, "If I beat you two to death with a stick now, no one will start talking anymore."

After Sun Wukong said this, he took all the sticks in his hand. The monster stuck to the wall, motionless, and said in a mournful voice:

"Brother Monkey, please forgive me. This is none of my business. We didn't steal anything from you at all."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong brought the two monsters to Tang Xuanzang. At the same time, Tang Xuanzang was sleeping and was disturbed by a burst of noise. After Tang Xuanzang saw Sun Wukong holding the two monsters in his hands, he was suddenly surprised and happy. said:

"Wukong, where did you catch these two monsters?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"These two monsters were eating and drinking on the top of the tower. After I heard the noise, I went up and caught them both, but I didn't use any force because I was afraid that if I beat them to death with a stick, no one would dare to tell the truth. "

"Then I captured the two of them and asked you to question them carefully to see where the baby is."
