Chapter 1184: None of Them Are Good People
In order to let Tang Sanzang know what kind of thing the old abbot of the Guanyin Zen Temple had done,
Sun Wukong waited until a group of monks from the Guanyin Zen Temple had moved firewood to surround Tang Sanzang's room.
Only then did he come to Tang Sanzang's side to tell him about this:
"Master, this group of monks in the Guanyin Zen Temple are not good people."
"You kindly lent them the Brocade Kasaya to observe, and they have no gratitude."
"Instead, because of this, they want to harm us; look, the room is surrounded by firewood, clearly they want to burn us three to death here."
"In this way, they can take your Brocade Kasaya as their own."
Tang Sanzang was also very shocked upon hearing Sun Wukong's words.
He had originally thought that the old abbot of the Guanyin Zen Temple replacing the real with the fake was the greatest evil.
He didn't expect that he would do something even more evil than that, directly committing murder and robbery.
"This group of monks is simply too hateful!"
Before Tang Sanzang could speak, the monk Cihang, who heard Sun Wukong's speech, spoke first.
"Hmph! This is a monk who practices the Lesser Vehicle Fomen; he simply has no compassion."
At this moment, Tang Sanzang was even more determined to go to the Western Lingshan Fomen to spread the Greater Vehicle Fomen.
After all, how could Fomen flourish by being with such monks who practiced the Lesser Vehicle Fomen?
"Master, should I go and teach them a lesson?"
Sun Wukong originally wanted to say he would send them directly to the Western Heaven.
But thinking that Tang Sanzang had even let those robbers go before, he did not mention harming their lives.
Instead, he used a different way of saying he would teach them a lesson.
After all, in this way, Sun Wukong could have a reason to say later:
He had not expected that this group of monks in the Guanyin Zen Temple was so weak, and he, Sun Wukong, had only acted lightly, and yet he had sent them to their deaths.
Tang Sanzang heard Sun Wukong's words and did not rush to let Sun Wukong act.
Instead, he stopped Sun Wukong's movements at this moment.
After all, catching a thief requires catching them in the act; if Tang Sanzang let Sun Wukong come forward to solve this matter now,
the old abbot of the Guanyin Zen Temple would only find excuses to explain later.
After all, moving firewood could also be said to be because the firewood was damp and needed to be dried, which was why they acted like this.
"Wukong, don't be impatient!"
"Wait until this group of monks in the Guanyin Zen Temple lights the fire, then you act."
Sun Wukong heard Tang Sanzang's words and scratched his head in confusion, asking:
"Master, why wait until this group of monks in the Guanyin Zen Temple sets the fire before acting?"
"If I solve them now without a fire, the Guanyin Zen Temple can be preserved; wouldn't that be beautiful?"
Tang Sanzang heard Sun Wukong's words and explained:
"If you go out now and solve this group of monks, they will inevitably find excuses to shirk this matter."
"Once the fire is lit, then you act to solve this matter."
"In this way, I want to see how the old abbot of the Guanyin Zen Temple explains the arson of the Guanyin Zen Temple."
Sun Wukong heard Tang Sanzang's words and understood why Tang Sanzang would do this.
