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

#1766 - Chu Hao is begging in broad daylight?

Under the moonlight, spiritual power emerged around Chu Hao, and the essence of the sun and moon solidified into hazy divine lights. The divine lights gathered and merged into his body as he quietly circulated the Pangu True Body Technique.

Waves of immense power surged from the depths of his body, passing through his meridians and spreading throughout his entire being. A formidable aura emanated from his surroundings.

Whoosh—

The wind rustled, the divine light subsided, and Chu Hao manipulated the power within his body, constantly pushing his own limits.

Dimly, his consciousness sank, as if he saw a Pangu True Body appear beside him.

That tall and vast Pangu True Body stood in the void, radiating boundless physical power.

Chu Hao felt a connection in his heart, and his consciousness began to deduce and absorb the power emanating from the Pangu True Body.

In that space of consciousness, the little figure formed by his consciousness constantly practiced various movements.

"Brother Chu Hao has become stronger again. I really don't know when Old Sun will be so strong," Sun Wukong muttered, shaking his head, and then went back to sleep.

The next day, the group continued their journey towards the mountains where the Silk Web Cave was located.

On the other side, inside the Silk Web Cave, the seven妖精 had already learned roughly when Tang Sanzang would arrive.

They were discussing how to seduce Zhu Bajie.

"We can't use ordinary methods. Sun Wukong is right next to him, and he will definitely see through it," the eldest sister, the leader, said.

Normally, they would seduce mortals who strayed into the mountains by directly appearing in front of them, then pretending to be injured to trick them into entering the cave.

But with Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, doing so would only result in the same fate as the White Bone Demon.

"I heard that Zhu Bajie is greedy for beauty. As long as we lure him out, it will be fine," the second sister said seriously.

"How do we lure him?" the others asked.

The second sister smiled slightly: "We can transform into a village. When they come to beg for alms, if it's Sun Wukong, we'll directly go and seduce Zhu Bajie. If it's Zhu Bajie, we'll pretend to be bathing by the river and lure him in."

"What if it's not them?" the eldest sister asked.

"Don't worry, I've inquired clearly. Usually, it's them who beg for alms, and it might be Tang Sanzang. If Tang Sanzang comes to beg for alms, that would be even better," the second sister said, blinking her eyes.

If it was Tang Sanzang, they could directly trick him inside. Once Tang Sanzang fell into their hands, they could do whatever they wanted.

...

At this moment, Tang Sanzang and his disciples finally arrived at the mountains where the Silk Web Cave was located. They looked at the beautiful scenery and lush greenery, and their mood improved a lot.

Before long, Tang Sanzang suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Master?" Zhu Bajie asked.

"Look, isn't there a village ahead?" Tang Sanzang pointed to a village in the mountains not far away.

They saw smoke rising from the chimneys and the buildings looked grand, indicating it was a place where rich people lived.

"It is! That's great! Old Pig is tired of eating fruit. I can finally have a good meal," Zhu Bajie said happily.

Saying that, he volunteered first: "Master, let me go beg for alms. I'll definitely get good stuff."

He said confidently.

However, Tang Sanzang shook his head: "This mountain is sparsely populated. It's rare to see people. What if you scare them? Moreover, I am your master, so let me go."

"Master, be careful of monsters," Sun Wukong reminded.

"Don't worry. We haven't encountered any monsters along the way, so there won't be any in that village. If there are, I've recently made some progress and wouldn't mind using them to practice."

"Master, how can we disciples let you beg for alms for us? Let Old Pig go," Zhu Bajie said.

"Bajie, Master has made up his mind," Tang Sanzang said seriously.

"But what if that family doesn't have vegetarian food? If Old Pig goes, I'll be back soon. You haven't been riding a horse and have been walking all the time. The mountain road is dangerous, so take care of your body," Zhu Bajie continued.

Tang Sanzang was about to retort when he suddenly heard Chu Hao say: "Why don't I go?"

"How dare we trouble Immortal Master?" Tang Sanzang quickly refused.

Chu Hao smiled slightly: "I've been following you all the way and haven't experienced begging for alms before. After all, we're in the same profession, so I naturally want to try it. Elder Tang doesn't need to say more, I'll go."

Since he had spoken, Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie had no choice but to let him go.

Chu Hao nodded and walked towards the village.

In the mountains, the spider妖精 responsible for monitoring Tang Sanzang and the others saw Chu Hao's unfamiliar face and looked puzzled. Seeing that he was going to beg for alms, they were even more surprised.

They quickly ran back to report to the eldest sister: "Eldest sister, something bad has happened. A mortal is here to beg for alms."

"A mortal?" The spider妖精 eldest sister looked surprised.

"Yes, he should be traveling with Tang Sanzang. If he comes to beg for alms, we'll be exposed," the blue-skirted woman who was previously responsible for monitoring Tang Sanzang and the others said.

"That won't do. We can't let that mortal get close to the village," the eldest sister said decisively.

If they waited until the mortal got close, they would be alarming the snake no matter what. They had to stop him on the road.

The seven妖精 immediately pondered, and soon the spider妖精 second sister said: "Let's go bathe by the river, first lure that mortal over, then kill him. Then Tang Sanzang and the others will definitely think that the mortal has left, and they will naturally send someone to beg for alms again."

"Good idea, let's act quickly," the eldest sister nodded.

Not far from the Silk Web Cave was a long river. The river was calm, crystal clear, and often used by the spider妖精 to bathe.

They quickly came to the long river and unreservedly took off their clothes and jumped into the river.

This place was the only way to the village, and the mortal would definitely pass by here.

The妖精 looked at each other, the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Sisters, don't be too nervous, he's just a mortal. We haven't bathed today, so let's wash freely. That mortal will definitely be fascinated by us," the spider妖精 second sister said with a smile.

These words immediately brought smiles to the faces of the seven妖精.

So, they let go and started playing in the river.

At that time, Chu Hao was walking on the road to the village.

This time, begging for alms was indeed because he wanted to experience the fun of begging for alms. In addition, he had made some progress in his cultivation last night, and he was in a good mood, so he took the initiative to offer to go beg for alms.

He hummed a song and walked calmly. Before long, he saw a long river.
