"A temple, you say? Then let us go there to offer our respects!" Jiang Liu spoke upon hearing Sun Wukong's words.
In the original, Tang Monk, claiming to have mere mortal eyes that cannot recognize the true Buddha, would pay his respects at every temple they passed during their journey west to express his devout heart.
Similarly, the current Jiang Liu also behaved this way, finding occasions to pay respects whenever he encountered a temple.
But it was not out of devotion, rather it was to strategically delay time!
Was there a more fitting way to delay time under legitimate pretenses?
"Master, that temple looks rather peculiar!"
Just then, Sun Wukong dropped down and stood next to Jiang Liu, saying, "Look at that temple's architecture, it resembles the Great Thunder Monastery a bit, and, moreover, the nameplate on that temple reads 'Lesser Thunder Monastery!'"
