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

#1727 - Rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples, another price

It must be said that Chu Hao's words did indeed make Tathagata somewhat tempted, especially the part about being at his disposal.

He had long disliked Chu Hao, and if this guy really didn't complete the task, he would have a reason.

"Is this true?" Tathagata asked.

"Of course."

Chu Hao looked confident.

"Alright, then I'll give you one million merits of divine water."

Tathagata agreed very readily.

For some reason, he was actually somewhat looking forward to Chu Hao not completing the task, so he could properly punish this guy.

"Okay."

Chu Hao smiled, took the one million merits of divine water from Tathagata, and then left Mount Ling.

"Buddha, this time Chu Hao shouldn't be acting again, right?" Diting said uncertainly.

"Whether he's acting or not, he has no way out.

You and Guanyin should also go to the Little Thunderclap Temple and continue to keep an eye on him secretly,"

Tathagata said confidently.

"We respectfully obey the Dharma decree."

Guanyin and Diting accepted the order.

Little Thunderclap Temple, Chu Hao visited again.

This time, no one stopped him again, and he swaggered directly into the Little Thunderclap Temple.

Maitreya Buddha was still sitting on the futon, with two cups of hot tea that would never run out in front of him.

"I'm so thirsty."

As soon as Chu Hao came in, he acted as if he were in his own home, sitting directly in front of Maitreya Buddha, picking up the teacup and drinking it all in one gulp.

Maitreya Buddha smiled without saying a word.

"This Tathagata is really a cheapskate.

"Humph, if I hadn't reached an agreement with you, do you think I would have made a vow? So don't you try to deceive me,"

Chu Hao said.

"Of course, of course, I have already arranged for my subordinates to prepare delicacies, let's have a meal first,"

Maitreya Buddha said.

"Alright, it's better than being too quick and having flaws seen through,"

Chu Hao nodded.

After speaking, he asked again: "By the way, what about Tang Sanzang and his disciples?"

"I'll release them immediately,"

Maitreya Buddha said with a smile, casting the Man-Seed Bag.

With a thought, the four of Tang Sanzang and his disciples were thrown out of the Man-Seed Bag.

"Ouch, that hurt your old Pig to death,"

Pig Bajie sat on the ground and wailed.

Sun Wukong stared at his surroundings warily, and was confused to find that his boss, Chu Hao, was sitting next to Maitreya Buddha.

Soon, the other three also saw Chu Hao.

"Strange, boss, why are you sitting with this demon?" Pig Bajie asked, voicing everyone's doubts.

"Hey, why are you calling him a demon?

Quickly call him the Buddha of the Future,"

Chu Hao immediately said.

"Ah?" The four disciples hadn't reacted yet.

They thought the plot was wrong, could it be that the boss had already defected?

Just as everyone was wondering, Maitreya Buddha opened his mouth with a smile: "The four of you, I apologize.

I have now reached an agreement with the Prison God Chu Hao, you are all fine now."

"Really?" Tang Sanzang looked at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao nodded.

"That's great, your old Pig has been hungry for a long time,"

Pig Bajie immediately smiled and looked at the delicacies next to him, rushing over directly.

Although the others were suspicious, wondering why this Buddha of the Future, who had already fallen into the demonic path, was so easy to talk to, they no longer worried with Chu Hao around.

The four disciples had been locked in the Man-Seed Bag for several days, and now that there was delicious food in front of them, they naturally devoured it without any regard for their image.

At the head of the table, Chu Hao looked at Maitreya Buddha and asked again: "Are you really going to do this?"

Maitreya Buddha smiled and said: "Prison God, don't try to persuade me, I have made up my mind."

"Understood, then come on, I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine, there might not be another chance in the future,"

Chu Hao raised his teacup and said.

"Alright,"

Maitreya Buddha smiled and clinked cups.

The group chatted and laughed in the Little Thunderclap Temple, and the two groups, who had originally been at odds with each other, were now like long-lost acquaintances.

They were completely drinking tea and singing songs, incredibly harmonious.

Outside the Little Thunderclap Temple, because of Maitreya Buddha's supernatural powers, Guanyin and Diting didn't know what was happening inside.

"Great Master Guanyin, do you think that Chu Hao was beaten to death by Maitreya Buddha?" Diting said.

Guanyin's face suddenly darkened.

You were beaten to death, your whole family was beaten to death.

On the surface, she still said calmly: "Don't worry, although that demon has treasures like the Man-Seed Bag, the Prison God Chu Hao is very powerful.

Since he agreed, he naturally has full confidence."

"That's good, this time, for these Tang Sanzang and his disciples, my Western Paradise has lost so many treasures,"

Diting sighed.

Hearing this, Guanyin remained silent, but her heart was bleeding.

Except for the merits of divine water, the other treasures are all mine, okay?

Although Tathagata said he would compensate, that cheapskate will definitely pretend to forget, and I will have to bear it myself.

Thinking of this, she felt depressed.

"Great Master Guanyin, they're out,"

At this time, Diting suddenly shouted.

Only to see Chu Hao leading Tang Sanzang and his four disciples out of the Little Thunderclap Temple.

Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief, while Diting had a gloomy face, seemingly regretting that Chu Hao hadn't died inside.

Then the two came in front of them.

"Great Master Guanyin,"

Tang Sanzang and his four disciples bowed.

Guanyin looked at the four of them, their faces shining with grease, especially Pig Bajie, who was still picking his teeth, with a strange expression.

She thought, weren't you captured?

Looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem like it at all, it's more like you went somewhere to travel and had a few good meals.

At this time, Diting suddenly transmitted his voice: "Guanyin, what about the Eighteen Arhats and the others?"

Hearing this, Guanyin realized that Chu Hao had only rescued Tang Sanzang and his four disciples.

Before she could speak, Chu Hao preemptively said: "This place is not suitable to stay for long, wait for that Maitreya Buddha to chase after us."

So he pretended to panic and led the crowd to a place sixty miles away.

Only when he stopped did Guanyin ask with a gloomy face: "Prison God, what about my Buddhist disciples?"

"Buddhist disciples? You didn't say you wanted to save them.

I only promised you to save Tang Sanzang and his disciples,"

Chu Hao pretended to be surprised.

"Good you, Chu Hao, you made a vow yourself, are you going to break it?" Diting said sharply.

"Hey, don't slander me!

I never said I would save other people from beginning to end, that's a separate price,"

Chu Hao said without changing his expression.

"You…" Diting was speechless.

Guanyin next to him transmitted his voice: "How much does it cost to save the other Buddhist disciples?"

"Little Guanyin, you understand me.

Not much, fifty thousand merits of divine water,"

Chu Hao replied.

Hearing this, Guanyin's face suddenly changed drastically.

Fifty thousand merits of divine water isn't much?

Do you really think my Buddhism is wholesaling it?

"This matter is of great importance, we will discuss it with the Buddha,"

Guanyin replied.

"Alright, do you want me to accompany you?" Chu Hao asked generously.

Guanyin thought, isn't that nonsense?

If you don't go, Tathagata won't agree.

But if you go, Tathagata might not agree either.
