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

#1735 - Tang Sanzang: I think he is very wise!

It seemed that upon the return of the three, the Tathagata directly asked, "Where is the Treasure Light Buddha?"

"Reporting to the Buddha Ancestor, he was captured by that demonic path," Guan Yin said.

"Captured? And you just stood by and watched?" Tathagata said in a deep voice.

"Buddha Ancestor, that demonic path wields supreme treasures and has been completely demonized. We could only avoid his sharp edge,"谛听 (Dìtīng) explained.

What a joke, I almost couldn't even return myself.

After speaking, Guan Yin beside him added, "Buddha Ancestor, that demonic path disregards past friendships and has now demonized the Eighteen Arhats and a multitude of Buddhas."

As soon as these words came out, all the Buddhas were shocked.

"What?" Tathagata was greatly shocked, almost standing up.

This lord of the Western Paradise lost his composure for the first time, his face filled with surprise and incomprehension, and the auspicious Buddha light around him was also trembling and distorting crazily.

Not only him, but all the Buddhas in the Great Thunderclap Temple were the same. They looked shocked, their minds dazed, and they thought they had misheard.

"Great Master Guan Yin, is this true?" Manjushri Bodhisattva couldn't help but ask.

Guan Yin nodded: "I observed demonic energy emerging from Tang Sanzang's body, so it's highly likely."

"Then we're done for," all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas thought, greatly shaken.

On the lotus platform, Tathagata took a deep breath and remained silent.

As the protagonist of the Journey to the West, the importance of Tang Sanzang was self-evident. If he fell into becoming a demon, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Tathagata almost couldn't help but rush to the Little Thunderclap Temple, grab Maitreya Buddha by the collar, and loudly question him: "Why? Why?"

However, with his character, he couldn't do such a thing.

So he adjusted his mind and said again: "Tang Sanzang must be rescued."

Saying that, he looked towards Chu Hao, who was sitting leisurely on a certain Arhat's seat, eating immortal fruit, and said: "Prison God Chu Hao, are you willing to take action?"

Chu Hao didn't speak, calmly holding up five fingers.

Tathagata's expression immediately darkened, and he looked at the Buddhas again: "What about you?"

The Buddhas remained silent again.

What a joke, Great Master Guan Yin had fled back in a sorry state. They should go? Wouldn't that be courting death?

"Buddha Ancestor, this matter can only be done by you!" one of the Buddhas said earnestly with his hands clasped together.

"Indeed, with the Buddha Ancestor taking action, there is naturally no fear of the demonic path," the Buddhas echoed.

"Although this seat can take action, the demonic path has Tang Sanzang as a protective charm after all. If I rashly take action, I fear I will injure his life. Caution is needed," Tathagata said in a vague voice.

"Hypocritical," Chu Hao commented inwardly.

If you don't dare to go, you don't dare to go, why talk about being cautious?

He understood Tathagata's character. Unless this guy had a sure grasp of success, he would sit high on the lotus platform and would never take action, even if he died.

Since Tathagata wouldn't take action and the Buddhas below didn't dare to take action, everyone had no choice but to look at Chu Hao, the only one who had taken action and even rescued Tang Sanzang.

Chu Hao threw an immortal pill into his mouth, looked at the Buddhas, and said indifferently: "Five hundred thousand merits of divine water, otherwise, no deal."

Seeing this, Tathagata felt displeased, but with no other way at the moment, he could only grit his teeth and say: "Alright, if you bring back Tang Sanzang and the captured Buddhas, I will give it to you."

"Wait a minute, I'm only bringing back Tang Sanzang," Chu Hao said.

"Why?" Tathagata asked, puzzled.

"There's no why. My abilities are limited. If you don't believe me, ask Guan Yin. I can't beat that Maitreya Buddha," Chu Hao said seriously.

Tathagata looked at Guan Yin.

Guan Yin thought of this guy's behavior of running faster than a monkey before, and also agreed: "That demonic path's supreme treasure is indeed powerful."

Since Guan Yin had said so, Tathagata couldn't force the other party, so he could only say: "Alright, be sure to bring back Tang Sanzang."

"Hand over the merits of divine water first," Chu Hao said.

"You also have to make an oath to the Heavenly Dao," Tathagata also kept a close watch, preventing himself from being scammed by this guy again.

"Alright," Chu Hao made an oath to the Heavenly Dao, and then obtained five hundred thousand merits of divine water from Tathagata, and happily headed towards the Little Thunderclap Temple.

This time, Tathagata didn't let anyone follow.

After all, after making an oath to the Heavenly Dao, it was impossible for Chu Hao to break the contract.

...

Revisiting the old place, Chu Hao walked on this land filled with monstrous demonic energy, and soon arrived in front of the Little Thunderclap Temple.

The gate here was wide open. He strode in and soon arrived at the main hall, where he saw Maitreya Buddha.

"What the hell are you doing?" Chu Hao questioned.

"Haha, what benefits did the Prison God get from Mount Ling again?" Maitreya Buddha laughed.

Chu Hao sat down on the seat next to him, looked at Tang Sanzang, who was closing his eyes and not speaking in the corner, and said indifferently:

"I, Chu Hao, have always been happy to help others. Why does it become a scamming thug in your mouth?

Leaving that aside, you let Tang Sanzang become a demon. Aren't you afraid of attracting disaster?"

Maitreya Buddha shook his head with a smile and changed the subject: "Next time I'll capture Tang Sanzang again, and you can blackmail Mount Ling again."

"I wish that were the case, but I can remind you that some things are a bottom line, don't play with fire and burn yourself," Chu Hao said.

"Thank you, Prison God, for your kind words. I have my own plans," Maitreya Buddha said.

After speaking, he raised his hand, and then demons sent tea and delicacies for Chu Hao.

"It's rare to come here, come, have a drink," Maitreya Buddha raised the hot tea.

"Aren't you supposed to have fallen into the demonic path? Are you still staring at the dead rules and not drinking alcohol?" Chu Hao joked.

Maitreya Buddha smiled without saying a word.

After having a good meal, Maitreya Buddha ordered his men to wake up Tang Sanzang.

The awakened Tang Sanzang came to the field, saw Chu Hao, and immediately saluted: "Immortal Lord, I am troubling you to take action again."

Chu Hao looked at Tang Sanzang, his eyes like torches. In his sight, demonic energy emerged from Tang Sanzang's body, and it was still in a state of soaring. In the long run, it would inevitably be completely demonized.

He glanced at Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha seemed to understand what he meant and still smiled without saying a word.

There was no way, Chu Hao could only take Tang Sanzang back first. As for what Maitreya Buddha thought, he couldn't care, and didn't want to care.

Leaving the Little Thunderclap Temple, he suddenly asked Tang Sanzang: "What did you encounter inside?"

"Immortal Lord, I didn't encounter anything. Although the Eastern Arrival Buddha has fallen into the demonic path, in this monk's opinion, he has great wisdom," Tang Sanzang said truthfully.

Chu Hao was speechless for a while.

You haven't encountered anything yet? You actually think that the demonic path has great wisdom. If these words were to reach Tathagata's ears, wouldn't you be suppressed for five hundred years like Sun Wukong?

He already had an idea in his mind, and without saying anything more, he took Tang Sanzang to the Western Paradise, Mount Ling.
