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

#1266 - Taishang Laojun: Where is my merit? Where did it go?

Now, after Zhu Bajie resurrected the King of Wuji Kingdom, the four members of the Journey to the West planned to rush to Wuji Kingdom to confront the imposter king in court.

Zhu Bajie didn't know what changes the resurrected true king had undergone, but trusting in Chu Hao's abilities, Zhu Bajie was very courageous and eager to get to the palace as soon as possible.

On the contrary, Taishang Laojun and Peacock King, who had been secretly monitoring the situation, felt a bit strange.

Especially Taishang Laojun, who should have received a large amount of Journey to the West merit when the King of Wuji Kingdom was resurrected.

But now, Taishang Laojun stood in the air with a bewildered expression.

"Where is my merit? Where did so much of my merit go?"

Taishang Laojun didn't believe that the merit of heaven and earth would have a so-called delayed arrival; it wouldn't generate interest between heaven and earth.

How could the King of Wuji Kingdom be resurrected without any merit arriving!

Taishang Laojun was dumbfounded; he felt that something was very wrong.

But the King of Wuji Kingdom was alive and kicking, without any alterations, a genuine King of Wuji Kingdom, not a fake.

That made it even stranger!

Such great merit from resurrecting the King of Wuji Kingdom wouldn't have been embezzled by heaven and earth, would it?

Taishang Laojun thought about it but chose not to interrupt the Journey to the West. After all, he used Zhu Bajie and the golden pill as a medium because he didn't want to be involved in the Journey to the West tribulation.

Perhaps it was because the King of Wuji Kingdom hadn't exposed the imposter king yet, so the cause and effect hadn't been established, and therefore there was no merit.

Now, Taishang Laojun could only comfort himself in this way.

He didn't dare to leave, just kept staring at the true king, hoping that the true king would follow the previous plan, return to the palace, and expose the imposter king, so the merit would definitely arrive.

He hoped that the four members of the Journey to the West would be sensible and hurry on their way to get the merit as soon as possible; otherwise, Taishang Laojun would be unwilling.

The Journey to the West team didn't disappoint Taishang Laojun at all.

Zhu Bajie wanted to see what the king would do, so he took the lead.

Tang Sanzang also cared about the queen and concubines, pulling the Journey to the West team to whip their horses faster.

Their seriousness along the way surprised the Western Heaven people who were secretly monitoring.

For fear of exposure, the true king was covered tightly with a robe, so no one could recognize him.

The master and disciples entered the city and saw orderly people in the streets and a lively scene. Soon they saw magnificent pavilions and towers.

But the four master and disciples were not confused by this prosperity at all; they only had the heart of seeking scriptures and went straight to the palace.

At the palace gate, the four master and disciples were overjoyed.

Tang Sanzang showed a happy smile on his face and shouted directly at the palace,

"Queen and concubines of Wuji Kingdom, this humble monk has come to save you!"

"Someone, please inform the king that this humble monk wants to see him!"

This time, the four members of the Journey to the West came to quickly clear Wuji Kingdom without any ambiguity.

Tang Sanzang's voice echoed throughout the entire palace, like a thunderclap, scaring the people of Wuji Kingdom!

At that time, the entire palace was in an uproar, with chaos everywhere and screams one after another.

"It's over, enemies are attacking, and they have directly hit the palace. We are done for!"

"It seems that we are doomed today. I didn't expect the guards of Wuji Kingdom to be so weak!"

"The one standing outside the palace is a bald bandit. Damn it, it must be the bandits that the prince said were ambushing him outside the city. They have actually broken in!"

"The change of dynasty is just around the corner! Anyway, the current king and prince are really inhuman, so why not change them."

For a time, the entire palace was in chaos. After all, being breached by bandits into the palace was almost a sign of national destruction!

However, there were still some imperial guards in the Wuji Kingdom palace.

Immediately, the prince personally led countless imperial guards and rushed out of the palace.

The prince shouted angrily,

"Damn it, you bandit, how dare you break into my palace! You, you, you, you are too much!"

At this moment, the imposter king also rushed out with the imperial guards with a solemn expression.

Looking at the four master and disciples outside the field, a trace of complexity flashed across the imposter king's face, but it was fleeting.

The imposter king was majestic and pointed at the four master and disciples and shouted angrily:

"You are capable enough to be able to hit my palace gate!"

"But this country is by no means something you can covet. If you don't leave, you will be exterminated!"

The four master and disciples were instantly surrounded by tens of thousands of imperial guards, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

However, they had seen this scene many times and were not surprised.

Zhu Bajie exclaimed in admiration,

"Master, your trick is wonderful. It directly saves those boring steps and quickly clears Wuji Kingdom!"

Tang Sanzang smiled slightly,

"The teacher is just a good person who is eager to save people."

Sun Wukong stared at the tens of thousands of imperial guards in front of him, and the cultivation of those imperial guards was not weak at all.

It is estimated that even the top cultivators in the human world cannot be presumptuous here.

Sun Wukong took a step forward, glanced at Tang Sanzang, and said:

"Master, do you need Old Sun to settle them first?"

Tang Sanzang showed a gentle smile on his face,

"Wukong, step back. The teacher will do it himself."

"The queen and concubines are watching, wouldn't it hurt harmony if you take action?"

Tang Sanzang slowly took a few steps forward, and the aura of gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility made the imperial guards instantly tense up.

The prince drew his sword and pointed at Tang Sanzang,

"Stop! You bandit, you must not take another step forward! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Tang Sanzang originally wanted to jump up and punch the prince to death directly, but the queen and concubines were watching, so Tang Sanzang slightly restrained his murderous intent.

Tang Sanzang put his hands together and said loudly:

"This humble monk is from the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Jambudvipa, sent by the emperor to go to the Leiyin Temple in Tianzhu Kingdom in the Western Regions to worship the living Buddha and seek the true scriptures. Now that I have arrived here, I dare not waste my time, so I have come to exchange the customs clearance document."

The prince sneered,

"Are you kidding me? Is this what you look like when you come to exchange the customs clearance document?"

"I don't believe it!"

The imposter king also frowned slightly there,

"Since you are here to exchange the document, why don't you kneel and worship, but directly attack my palace? What is your intention?"

Tang Sanzang smiled coldly and stared at the imposter king,

"Our Tang Dynasty in the East has long been known as the superior country, and you are the inferior border state.

Since ancient times, the emperor of the superior country is the father and the sovereign; the emperor of the inferior country is the minister and the son. You didn't even welcome me, and you dare to argue that I shouldn't worship!"

Tang Sanzang's domineering and powerful demeanor made the people of Wuji Kingdom gasp in cold air for a while,

What a powerful monk, I don't believe you didn't come to attack the Wuji Kingdom palace!
