Upon hearing this, the three Grand Immortal Huli were momentarily startled, then quickly helped Chen Qing and Chen Cheng to their feet and asked, "Why do you two say such a thing? What has happened here?"
Chen Qing hurriedly replied, "National Preceptor, a few monks came to our village a few days ago..." Chen Qing recounted how Xuanzang and his companions had stayed at his house for two days eating and drinking for free, how his wife had driven them away, and how Xuanzang and the others had subsequently built a temple by the banks of Tongtian River.
"National Preceptor, these monks must be using demons as an excuse to scam free food and drink here in Chen Family Village. I saw right through their scheme, and now they are planning to use Tongtian River to deceive nearby villages into making sacrifices. We beg the National Preceptor to help us."
