I don't know which novel you're referring to because you didn't provide enough information. But according to your description, I can speculate that you might be referring to a plot in Journey to the West. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong once went to a temple to find inspiration in order to catch a monster. When he was about half a step away, he saw Qing Zhu and Bai Suzhen stealing the Rain Token. Sun Wukong saw their actions and immediately stopped them and started a fierce battle with them. If you have any other information about the novel, please provide more details. I will try my best to provide you with a more accurate answer.
