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

#1758 - Crazy slap in the face, Xitian takes action

Facing Tang Sanzang's words, Guanyin was slightly displeased and said in a low voice, "Do you know that your behavior will provoke the Buddha's wrath?"

"What behavior?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"Deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors, as a Buddhist disciple, you openly destroy the foundation of Buddhism and melt the Buddha statue into gold." Guanyin's voice became heavy, like a tsunami, making people feel immense pressure.

But Tang Sanzang looked calm and said indifferently, "I am just doing it for the country and the people. If Baoyue Guangfo knew that his Buddha statue could save countless hungry poor people, he would definitely be happy."

"I only know that he is very angry now, after all, his temple has been smashed." Guanyin said indifferently.

"Then he doesn't deserve to be a Buddha." Tang Sanzang suddenly said loudly.

Boom—

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap. A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, attracting countless people to look up.

The sound was extremely terrifying, as if it was about to shatter people's minds.

But Tang Sanzang was not afraid. He looked up at the sky and sternly said, "The Buddha said to save all living beings. If he only cares about his own interests and ignores the destruction of the people, then he doesn't deserve to be a Buddha."

"Tang Sanzang, you've gone too far." Guanyin said in a deep voice.

If this guy continues to talk, she can't guarantee what shocking words he will say.

However, Tang Sanzang didn't seem to want to stop. He looked at Guanyin and said, "Look, I clearly did something to save the people, but the Buddhas in the Western Paradise are not happy, but want to blame me. What is the reason for this?"

"Because you have become a demon and gone to extremes." Guanyin said.

"Extremes? What is extreme? I did something very normal, but because my ideas are different from yours, I am considered extreme and a demon?" Tang Sanzang became more and more excited.

He even dropped the nine-ring锡杖 in his hand: "If you Buddhas in the Western Paradise think that I am doing something harmful to nature, then I, Tang Sanzang, have really done it. What can you do? Could it be that you want to kill me?"

His face was firm, and his eyes were extremely firm and unshakable.

Even Guanyin was affected by Tang Sanzang's expression and tone. Her heart trembled slightly, and she stabilized herself and said, "Tang Sanzang, when your demonic energy is removed, you will regret this incident when you look back."

"Everything I do comes from my heart and I will not regret it," Tang Sanzang said fiercely.

Seeing that she could no longer dissuade him, Guanyin could only leave.

Tang Sanzang then called his three disciples: "Come, let Guanyin Bodhisattva see if what we are doing is correct."

Holding a hoe in his hand, he led Sun Wukong and the others to the fields and began to reclaim wasteland.

While reclaiming, he looked at Zhu Bajie and said, "Bajie, it's time for you to exercise. Take your weapon and loosen the soil."

Zhu Bajie, holding the nine-toothed rake, looked depressed. He thought that he, a god, would now become a farmer. That's fine, but his magical weapon would also be used to loosen the soil. It was really too miserable.

Not only him, Sun Wukong was also pulled aside to guide the people of Zhu Zi Kingdom in planting melons, fruits and vegetables.

As a pure monkey, Sun Wukong has a lot of research on peaches.

When it was about to work hard, it naturally began to plant peach trees with experience. In addition, being intelligent, it drew inferences from one instance, and was extremely proficient in other planting fields.

On the other side, Monk Sha, who was the Curtain Rolling General of the Heavenly Court and the owner of the 流沙 River, was ordered by Tang Sanzang to repair the Jian River water conservancy project. Anyway, he was proficient in water and had great strength, so he could do the work better than a dozen mortals.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples were working enthusiastically, while Chu Hao was leisurely walking in the royal city.

The current royal city is no longer as lifeless as it was at the beginning, but is full of enthusiasm. Everyone seems to have found a goal in an instant, and everyone is full of energy.

The beggars who could be seen on the streets are now gone. They have been arranged jobs by the state and have also learned to support themselves. The disabled beggars have been placed in the Cijue Temple and are being supported.

Without Buddhism, Zhu Zi Kingdom is waiting to be rebuilt, and many buildings need to be rebuilt.

The king, with the return of the queen, was also happily directing the soldiers to continuously improve these infrastructures.

In his eyes, the current Zhu Zi Kingdom is moving towards a prosperous situation.

Western Paradise, Ling Mountain, Daleiyin Temple.

After listening to Guanyin's report, 如来 looked calm, but the Buddhas were furious.

Especially Baoyue Guangfo, his idol was destroyed, and his incense was lost. He was extremely angry in his heart.

If the other party were not the Buddha's disciple and shouldered the responsibility of the Journey to the West, he would have suppressed Tang Sanzang long ago.

"Buddha, Tang Sanzang has completely become a demon, what should we do?" Guanyin asked.

如来 said indifferently: "Ignorant mortals do not know that without the protection of the Buddha, all suffering will come. Wait, without the Buddha, this country will surely perish."

The Buddhas nodded. In their opinion, without the protection of the Buddhas, this country would inevitably lose its faith and naturally head towards destruction.

However, the slap in the face always comes quickly.

Half a month later, the Buddhas, who believed that Zhu Zi Kingdom would surely perish, instead saw a thriving kingdom rise. The people lived and worked in peace, the soldiers were conscientious, the ministers were smiling, and the king and Tang Sanzang were also showing happy smiles.

The previous Zhu Zi Kingdom seemed prosperous, but the happiness of the people was extremely low. Everyone's faith was placed on Buddhism, and some even preferred to go hungry rather than donate incense money.

Now, without the constraints of Buddhism, the living standards of the people in Zhu Zi Kingdom have risen sharply, making countless Buddhas furious.

Everyone thought that without the protection of the Buddhas, the kingdom would no longer exist, but they saw a more prosperous royal city.

This is unacceptable to the Buddhas. They were angry, especially Baoyue Guangfo, who directly said: "Buddha, these mortals are arrogant and ignorant, they must be punished."

"That's right, they must be punished," the other Buddhas echoed.

如来 nodded: "This Zhu Zi Kingdom ignores Buddhism, disobeys the Buddhas, and even utters wild words. If punishment cannot be imposed, it will inevitably become lawless."

After speaking, he ordered 谛听: "Go and inform Guanyin, and let her order the monsters to attack Zhu Zi Kingdom. When the monsters descend and the royal city is destroyed, they will realize the importance of the Buddha."

如来's plan was extremely vicious, wanting to use those great demons to destroy Zhu Zi Kingdom's idea of self-reliance.

谛听 accepted the order and left.

The Buddhas showed an approving expression, especially Baoyue Guangfo, whose idol was destroyed and his incense was cut off. He couldn't wait for those monsters to destroy the entire royal city to vent his anger!
