He went through countless hardships and subdued many demons and monsters. One day, he arrived at Chechi Kingdom. Seven years ago, a rare drought occurred in this country. At this time, two Taoists, Lu Li Daxian and Yang Li Daxian, who could call the wind and rain, appeared. The two immortals prayed for rain, which caused the king to abolish Buddhism and detain monks. Tang Seng was entrusted by the elders of Zhiyuan Temple to plead for him. With the help of Wukong, he prayed for rain and defeated the two immortals. The two monsters failed to rebel and fled all the way.

One test after another came, and the road to seeking the scriptures was long and tortuous…
