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

#1729 - Stroke head overalls, my name is Rulai, remember it

Maitreya Buddha's escape put the Lord of the West in a dilemma.

But he wasn't one to suffer losses, so he immediately ordered Guanyin to go to the Heavenly Court and bring Chu Hao back.

Guanyin sighed inwardly. How difficult it would be to make Chu Hao spit out what he had obtained! But forced by the Buddha's authority, she still went to the Heavenly Court.

To go to the Heavenly Court, one naturally had to first pay respects to the Jade Emperor.

"Bodhisattva Guanyin, I heard that the Tang Monk and his disciples have been rescued. Is there anything else?" The Jade Emperor sat on his throne and asked with a smile.

The way he looked at her, in Guanyin's eyes, seemed like mockery.

After all, to save a Tang Monk, their Mount Ling lost 1.5 million merits of divine water and more than twenty demon cores, not to mention the eighteen Arhats and many Buddhas that were thrown in for nothing.

"Jade Emperor, please tell me where Chu Hao is," Guanyin stated her purpose.

"The Prison God, Chu Hao? I don't know," the Jade Emperor shook his head.

Guanyin's face darkened. How could the Lord of the Heavenly Court not know where his subordinates were?

Seeing Guanyin getting angry, the Jade Emperor knew that his words were inappropriate, and he coughed a few times, saying, "Ahem, perhaps the Prison God has already gone to protect Tang Sanzang."

"Protect Tang Sanzang?" A hint of anger flashed in Guanyin's beautiful eyes.

If he was really protecting Tang Sanzang, how could he have allowed Maitreya Buddha to capture him, resulting in the loss of a group of Arhats and Buddhas?

"Bodhisattva Guanyin, to be honest, the Prison God's whereabouts have always been secretive, and I rarely see him," the Jade Emperor said earnestly.

Just kidding, how could I possibly know the whereabouts of a big shot like Chu Hao?

"Forget it, I'll go find him myself," Guanyin shook her head.

Every time she came to the Heavenly Court, she would run into a wall.

After this time, she decided that even if she was beaten to death, she would never come to the Heavenly Court again. It was too frustrating.

"Then I respectfully send off Bodhisattva Guanyin," the Jade Emperor said.

However, after Guanyin turned around, she suddenly turned her head back and said to the Jade Emperor, "I hope the Jade Emperor remembers the agreement with my Buddha, Tathagata."

"Remember, of course, I remember," the Jade Emperor said with a smile.

Guanyin turned and left, walking out of the Hall of Universal Brightness.

At this moment, Chu Hao was sitting on a branch of a peach tree in the Peach Garden, casually picking up a peach and putting it in his mouth.

【Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Find a sucker and have him rescue Tang Sanzang and others! Reward: 300,000 merits.】

The system's voice sounded, and the 300,000 merits instantly entered his body.

"Wait, I was the one who rescued Tang Sanzang. System, what do you mean?" Chu Hao suddenly reacted and asked.

So, finding a sucker meant finding himself.

Compared to being called a sucker himself, Tathagata, the real sucker, seemed more fitting.

"Chu Hao!"

Just then, a familiar female voice came over.

He looked over and found that it was actually Guanyin. So, he jumped off the branch, walked up to her, and smiled, "What's wrong, Little Guanyin? Do you miss me again?"

Guanyin said unhappily, "Do you know how shameless you are now?"

"Shameless? I don't think so," Chu Hao reached out and patted Guanyin, and Guanyin's face turned red.

Guanyin was annoyed and said seriously, "You scammed so much merit of divine water from the Buddha and let Maitreya Buddha escape. Aren't you afraid of causing the entire West to be furious?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm doing things for money. What does it have to do with me if someone runs away? On the contrary, this Maitreya Buddha is originally a Buddha of your West, and this tribulation was also arranged by you. If there's a problem, you're putting the blame on me?" Chu Hao retorted.

"You…" Guanyin didn't know how to refute, so she could only flick her sleeves and say, "Come with me to Mount Ling."

"Let's go then," Chu Hao said.

Being called a sucker by the system, he was in a bad mood.

Adhering to the principle that if he was in a bad mood, Tathagata shouldn't even think about feeling good, he followed Guanyin to Mount Ling.

Mount Ling, the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Chu Hao came all the way to Tathagata, and the gazes of the Buddhas around him were filled with a hint of anger.

This time, they were really screwed over by Chu Hao. Now, they couldn't wait to tear him into pieces.

"Chu Hao, since you didn't complete the agreement, then hand over the 500,000 merits of divine water," Tathagata said bluntly.

"What?" Chu Hao pretended to be deaf.

Tathagata took a deep breath and continued, "Since you have rescued Tang Monk and his disciples, then I naturally won't say anything about the million merits of divine water, but you must return the 500,000."

"No, I'm saying, what does Maitreya Buddha running away have to do with me? Wasn't this tribulation arranged by you? Am I wrong to help you save people?" Chu Hao directly started putting hats on him.

"Do you really want to argue with me?" Tathagata said in a deep voice.

"Who doesn't know that you, Tathagata, are eloquent in the Three Realms? But today, I want to see it," Chu Hao was not afraid at all.

Obviously, he had already planned to take the 500,000 merits of divine water for nothing.

Seeing this, Tathagata could only soften his tone and say, "Like this, I don't want the 500,000 merits of divine water. You go and bring Maitreya Buddha back."

"Where to find him? Avici Hell? I'm not a saint," Chu Hao replied.

"How do you know Maitreya Buddha is in Avici Hell?" Tathagata frowned immediately.

Chu Hao immediately said, "The matter of Maitreya Buddha is a major event in the Three Realms. Do you think you're the only one paying attention? My Heavenly Court is also paying attention. I'm telling you, returning the 500,000 merits of divine water is a no-go, going to Avici Hell is also a no-go, unless you let Maitreya Buddha out."

Seeing that Chu Hao was impervious to reason, Tathagata was also extremely angry, and he directly threatened sternly, "Prison God Chu Hao, if you insist on doing this, don't blame me for taking action!"

"Take action? Hehe, come on, my hands are itching," Chu Hao rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to fight.

However, if he really did that, Tathagata would be afraid.

He kept calming his mood, remained silent for a while, and then said, "If that Maitreya Buddha leaves Avici Hell, you will take action, right."

"Of course, I, Chu Hao, keep my word and am not the kind of villain who goes back on his word. You can ask my friends, who doesn't say that I keep my promises," Chu Hao said righteously.

These words made the faces of the Buddhas in the Great Thunderclap Temple strange, and they really dared not agree.

Tathagata was also speechless for a while.

If it weren't for the overall situation of the Journey to the West, he really wanted to slap this guy to death.

He could only comfort himself.

The overall situation is important, the overall situation is important!

"Okay, I hope you can do it when the time comes," Tathagata finally chose to compromise.

There was no way, when encountering a guy like Chu Hao, he had to compromise even if he didn't want to.

Tathagata had cultivated for endless years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a difficult guy, and the key was that you couldn't take action.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave," Chu Hao asked.

After arguing with Tathagata, he felt much better.

The Buddhas naturally couldn't wait for Chu Hao to leave, and Tathagata also waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead."
