The King of Wu Ji Kingdom dreamed to the Tang Monk, claiming that he was killed three years ago by a Taoist priest who pushed him into the well of the Royal Garden, and that the Taoist priest turned into a king and usurped the throne. The king hands the Tang Monk a jade tablet. Wukong introduced the crown prince to the temple, explained to the prince about his father the king, and coaxed the Eight Preceptors to fish the king's body out of the well and carry it back to the Po Lin Monastery. He also asked the Supreme Lord for a soul-restoring elixir to save the king's life. When the fake king was exposed, Manjushri appeared and explained the cause, which turned out to be Manjushri's mount, the green-furred lion.
