Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1001 - Tang 3 Zang: I am here to defeat Buddha, really

Without another word, Zhu Bajie kicked the three-meter-high iron gate!

That massive iron gate, three meters high and weighing who-knows-how-many tons, was instantly shattered by Zhu Bajie's kick, frame and all!

The entire iron gate instantly transformed into countless razor-sharp shards, shooting inwards!

The shattered iron gate, originally meant to protect the Bright Zen Monastery, had now become a hail of deadly blades!

Rumble!

In that instant, the whole world seemed to shake!

With the gate destroyed,

the entire Bright Zen Monastery erupted in terrified chaos.

Countless monks and guards rushed out, wielding swords, spears, clubs, axes, and hooked blades, staring nervously at Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

One of the monk-soldier leaders cried out in fear:

"Monsters, what do you want from our Bright Zen Monastery!"

Tang Sanzang glanced indifferently at the assembled monks, not even considering them a threat.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples slowly walked in, looking around with cold expressions, and coldly shouted:

"Someone! This humble monk wishes to offer incense!"

The people of the Bright Zen Monastery were dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me?

You blew up our gate just to burn incense?

But looking at the towering, bald-headed brute before them, along with the giant monk and the pig demon beside him, the monks naturally decided to keep their mouths shut.

"Quick, go get the Abbot!"

"I refuse to believe that a few petty demons dare to run wild in our Bright Zen Monastery!"

"The Abbot is here! The Abbot is here!"

Just then, a plump, pot-bellied old monk wearing an ornate kasaya slowly walked over.

"What fiendish creatures dare to be so insolent in the Bright Zen Monastery!"

"This place is illuminated by the Medicine Buddha's light, protected by the Twelve Yaksha Generals! You demons, retreat now, and your past transgressions will be forgiven!"

The Abbot walked over, surrounded by the crowd, his face full of arrogance and power.

Zhu Bajie chuckled.

"Seeing this Abbot, I think I've met my match."

As soon as Zhu Bajie said this, anger filled the faces of all the monks.

The Abbot, as fat as a pig, looked even more displeased.

Tang Sanzang glanced at Zhu Bajie. "Bajie, be respectful!"

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing remained silent, patiently waiting for the moment to offer incense to everyone present.

Tang Sanzang looked at the incredibly arrogant Abbot and said softly:

"Venerable Abbot, this humble monk greets you."

"I am a monk from the Tang Dynasty, ordered by the Emperor of the Great Tang to travel to the West in search of scriptures. Passing through your esteemed monastery, I have come to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Please, Venerable Abbot, guide me."

The faces of everyone in the Bright Zen Monastery were filled with strange expressions.

This bald-headed brute is actually a monk?!

And he came all the way from the Great Tang?

No wonder! I've heard that the Great Tang is a land of treasures, with outstanding people. I didn't expect that even a monk could be so tall and strong.

Good heavens, is this the style of a powerful nation?

The people of the Bright Zen Monastery all looked at the Abbot.

But the old Abbot was not worried at all, his face full of pride and arrogance.
