Chapter 2444: Tang Seng

Shi Jizhou suddenly looked at his disciples and said, "Rise, all of you. We monks view life and death with detachment and should not be afraid."

"Now that Great Sage Sun and Master Fahai have arrived here, I believe this matter will not simply end here."

The monks then rose one after another.

At this time, the blood rain filling the sky had gradually stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate. Looking up, the night sky was once again clear.

Sun Wukong frowned as he looked at the night sky, his eyes flashing with thought. He thought to himself, "Such a bizarre blood rain is definitely not a strange omen from heaven; it must have been caused by human power."

Just then, Tang Seng walked up to Shi Jizhou and said indifferently, "This poor monk has been traveling west, and my custom is to bow to the Buddha when I see a temple and sweep the pagoda when I see one."

"I have another purpose in coming here, which is to sweep the pagoda."

Shi Jizhou saw the piety toward Buddhist dharma in Tang Seng's eyes and said, "If Master Xuanzang is willing, please do so."

As he spoke, Shi Jizhou turned to the side and pointed his right hand toward the pagoda.

Tang Seng looked at Fahai, then at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong's eyes rolled a few times, and he said, "Fahai, you stay at the bottom of the pagoda. Since this person has such cultivation and was able to take the Buddha-Light Sarira without anyone knowing, if they return, it will surely be very dangerous. So you stay at the base of the pagoda to protect these monks."

"I will accompany Master up to sweep the pagoda."

Fahai looked at Sun Wukong, his gaze calm, and said, "Very well."

At this moment, on the side of the Mirror of Observation, Wu Feng had been watching the Kongming Buddhist Pagoda and had already learned everything.

"Everything is indeed karma. The first time I saw this Buddha-Light Sarira, I knew it would be lost, yet I forgot to tell Sun Wukong."

Wu Feng frowned with his sword-like brows and said.

"Husband, when did you see the Buddha-Light Sarira?"

Xiaobai looked at Wu Feng with confusion in her eyes and said.

"Just when Tang Seng and the others entered the city. I felt this Buddha-light was too magical, so I used the Mirror of Observation to look inside the pagoda."

Wu Feng looked at Xiaobai and said with great seriousness.

"What was it like? Was it pretty?"

"What exactly is the use of this Sarira?"

Xiaobai blinked her large eyes, her eyes full of confusion as she spoke.

"It was quite pretty, a round bead, crystal clear and flawless."

"However, I also do not know what the use of this Sarira is."

Wu Feng looked at Xiaobai and said indifferently.

Six-Ears stood to the side, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Such divine light, looking so auspicious, must surely have magical abilities."

Wu Feng glanced at Six-Ears, curled his lips, and remained noncommittal.

At this time, in Heaven, the immortals also saw the scene of the Buddha-Light Sarira being lost in Jisaiguo from the spiritual sense images below.

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian scanned the immortals and said leisurely, "How is it? Has the Kalpa Tribulation been triggered? This Kalpa Tribulation was set up by our Heaven."

Taibai Jinxing glanced at Haotian, cupped his hands, and said, "Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, it has been triggered. The Buddha-Light Sarira has already been taken."

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian nodded, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "That is good. Next, we shall see if Sun Wukong and his group can retrieve the Buddha-Light Sarira."

The immortals were still somewhat confused; it turned out that only Haotian and a few key figures within Heaven knew about this Kalpa Tribulation. ===== CHAPTER 2446 =====
