The Adventures of Wu Kong vol.16: Fool's Gold

As autumn draws to a close, San Zang have traveled well past the dangerous Mount Flame when they come upon an enormous city. It is the capital of the JiSai Kingdom, and at its center is an enormous Buddhist temple. When the traveling companions arrive in the city, they look for food and lodging. Bajie volunteers to go looking for food, but when he asks a local vendor for charity in the name of Buddha, he is angrily rebuked and then physically attacked. Wu Kong intervenes and subdues the vendors, and the four friends continue to walk the streets of the city. Soon, they come upon a group of shackled monks begging for food. The monks explain to them that the JiSai Kingdom was once blessed with good fortune emanating from a magical treasure that rested at the top of the golden temple. One day, the treasure was stolen, and as the kingdom's fortunes declined, the king's angry subjects accused the priests of the theft. The king severely punished the innocent monks and allowed the golden temple to fall into disrepair. The reak culprit was never discovered. Now, San Zang must convince the king to forgive those who have been falsely accused of theft, while Sun Wu Kong and his friends search deep under the sea for the stolen treasure that will restore the kingdom's fortunes.
