Chapter 2436
Sun Wukong was resting his leg on the table, leisurely peeling a banana. He glanced at Marshal Tianpeng's way of eating with utter disdain.
Everyone chatted happily at this banquet. The King of Jisaiguo was a good person, and everyone was not at all constrained. The Queen sat there the whole time, wearing a kind smile, holding a jade cup, and sipping wine.
When the banquet ended, the King arranged a fine guest room for each of them.
Tang Seng had originally intended to exchange his travel documents after meeting the King and then leave immediately.
But the King was indeed too enthusiastic, and he was very interested in Buddhist dharma, so they talked for a while longer.
This conversation lasted until evening, and the King asked them to stay in the palace for the night. This time, Tang Seng did not refuse.
After the meal, the travelers were led by maids to their respective rooms to rest.
By now, night had fallen. There was not a single star in the sky, nor was there a moon; only a sky as black as ink, like a large pot covering their heads.
When Sun Wukong entered his room, he opened the window and looked at the city outside.
At this moment, a strange sight immediately caught his attention.
He saw that in the distance of the city, at a height of several hundred meters, something was shining with ten thousand rays of light.
This light was simply too strong, to the point that the entire city of Jisaiguo seemed like a city that never slept, all enveloped within that radiance.
"Even the moon on the fifteenth day isn't this bright, is it?"
"What on earth is that thing?"
Sun Wukong's eyes revealed an expression of extreme confusion as he spoke.
Just then, there was a knock on Sun Wukong's door: "Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Sun Wukong walked over, opened the door, and saw Tang Seng standing there, dressed in his purple-gold cassock and wearing his monk's cap.
"Master, why are you dressed so formally?"
Sun Wukong looked at Tang Seng with a puzzled expression.
"Wukong, your master wishes to sweep the pagoda. Will you accompany me?"
Tang Seng smiled and said indifferently.
"Very well, Master!"
"By the way, Master, have you seen the light over there? What exactly is it?"
Sun Wukong pointed toward the location of the light and asked.
Tang Seng turned his head to look at the ten thousand rays of light, smiled, and said, "The King already spoke to me privately earlier. This is the treasure of Jisaiguo, the Buddha-Light Sarira."
Sun Wukong's eyes showed extreme shock as he said, "Buddha-Light Sarira? You mean a Sarira relic?"
"What kind of Sarira could emit such intense light?"
Tang Seng smiled faintly and said, "Your master will explain the details to you later."
"The King just told me that the reason Jisaiguo has become an object of pilgrimage for surrounding countries and is so prosperous is all thanks to this Buddha-Light Sarira." ===== CHAPTER 2438 =====
