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

#2284 - The first good man

These Buddhas from the Western Paradise and demonic spies were sent only to secretly monitor Tang Sanzang and his companions' every move and control their actions.

Therefore, their cultivation levels were not high, and they had no power to resist the desperate attacks of Sun Wukong and his group.

"We are Buddhas from the Western Paradise, truly!"

"Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Tathagata Buddha sent us!"

"You cannot kill us!"

Those Buddhas from the Western Paradise said to Tang Sanzang and his disciples, invoking the names of the Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin as their backing.

If they hadn't done so, Tang Sanzang and his group might not have wanted to completely exterminate them, but hearing the names of Guanyin and the Tathagata Buddha only made them more ruthless.

However, they still couldn't acknowledge their identities as Buddhas, insisting that they were transformed from demons.

"You damned monsters, daring to impersonate Buddhas from the Western Paradise!"

"This is a great disrespect to the Western Paradise; how can we tolerate you?"

"Audacious demons, prepare to die!"

The four of them attacked together, and in just a short while, those Buddhas truly went to the Western Paradise.

The demonic spies naturally suffered the same process and the same fate.

Having dealt with these Buddhas and spies who were secretly monitoring them from behind, Tang Sanzang and his companions felt much more relaxed.

With these Buddhas and spies dealt with, the Western Paradise and the Demon Clan naturally learned about it very quickly.

"Outrageous! I will go and question Tang Sanzang and his disciples for daring to kill people from the Western Paradise at will!"

Guanyin pretended to be proactive in front of the Tathagata Buddha, but in reality, she knew that Chu Hao was with Tang Sanzang and his group, and she was a hundred times unwilling to go, but she still had to put on a show.

"Forget it. Tang Sanzang and his group will definitely say it was an accidental injury while eliminating demons, and it's not good for us to blame them.

Let's not create unnecessary complications. It's still important for them to continue their journey to the West. The next trial is crucial. With our careful arrangements, even Chu Hao will definitely be powerless."

The Tathagata Buddha said with great confidence.

"With the Buddha's plan, that Chu Hao is naturally under your control."

Hearing the Tathagata Buddha say to forget it, Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief and flattered the Tathagata Buddha.

The Demon Clan's reaction was similar to that of the Western Paradise. Chu Jin also did not question Tang Sanzang and his group about this matter.

"Forget it. Since we are cooperating with Tang Sanzang and his group, we cannot question them about the secret monitoring.

However, we still need to pay close attention to the movements of Tang Sanzang and his group. This time, send a few experts to go, but they must not be too close to Tang Sanzang and his group, and they must not be detected by them."

Chu Jin made arrangements and dispatched several capable officers to go.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, now that Tang Sanzang and his group are approaching Mount Ling, it is estimated that the Western Paradise's deployment will be even more meticulous.

At this time, Tang Sanzang and his group of four, along with Chu Hao, were about to approach the next stop.

Tongtai Prefecture, Diling County, was also a place that Tang Sanzang and his group had to pass through on their journey to the West, and it was already dusk when they arrived in Diling County.

Entering the county seat of Diling County, the entire Diling County looked lively and prosperous.

"Such a lively and prosperous county town is truly rare on the journey to the West."

"Now that we are approaching the foot of the Western Paradise, the Western Paradise always has to put on an act, right?"

"It would be good if the people were truly prosperous, but I'm afraid that the Western Paradise has some behind-the-scenes exploitation."

Tang Sanzang and his companions discussed as they walked towards the county town.

Before they had gone far, they saw a shantytown where people were giving porridge to the poor and beggars.

"I didn't expect that there would be people doing such good deeds here."

"In any case, taking care of the poor is always a good thing."

"I wonder if it's just a show."

Tang Sanzang and his disciples looked at the porridge shed and said in surprise. It was too rare to see people doing good deeds in the area controlled by the Western Paradise.

"You must be from outside. This is Master Kou's porridge shed, which is open all year round."

"Our Kou Yuanwai from Diling Mountain is the greatest philanthropist."

"Master Kou sincerely worships Buddha and does good deeds for the people. It is a blessing for our Diling County to have such a good person."

The passersby, hearing Tang Sanzang and his group's discussion, said to them.

Judging from the way these people looked, they didn't seem to be lying. They were sincerely grateful and admired this Master Kou.

"It seems that this Master Kou is really a good person."

"The people here seem to sincerely support and appreciate him, it doesn't seem to be fake."

"If that's the case, then Master Kou is the greatest philanthropist in the Western Paradise."

Tang Sanzang and his group of four felt very favorably toward this Master Kou after hearing what the people said.

However, Chu Hao didn't say anything, and his expression didn't change either. Chu Hao never judged by appearances.

"Master, it's almost dark. We should find a place to rest."

Sun Wukong said to Tang Sanzang.

"Let this old pig ask where there are temples or post houses."

Tang Sanzang and his group usually chose temples or post houses for lodging, rather than expensive restaurants or inns.

Pigsy stopped a passerby and asked him.

"Do you have any temples or post houses here?"

Hearing Pigsy ask this, the passerby shook his head.

"Diling County is not big, and there are no post houses specifically for receiving outsiders. As for temples, there are none either."

Tang Sanzang and his group were surprised to hear the man say that there were no temples here.

In the area controlled by the Western Paradise, there was usually a small temple every three steps and a large temple every ten steps, so how could there be no temples in this Diling County?

However, before they could think about it any further, the passerby continued.

"Looking at your attire, you seem to be monks. If you want to stay overnight, just go to Master Kou's residence.

Master Kou has always been hospitable to monks and generous with alms. He will definitely treat you warmly. If you need travel expenses, he will also give you gold and silver. He is a very good person."

Hearing the passerby say this, Tang Sanzang and the others couldn't help but nod.

They had just entered Diling County and had repeatedly heard the name of Master Kou from the people, and he was giving alms to the people and providing for monks and the poor.

In this case, this Kou Yuanwai should be a truly great philanthropist.

"Very well, let's go to that Master Kou's residence. I am also willing to meet such a good person."

Tang Sanzang obviously had a good impression of that Master Kou.

Master Kou's residence was well-known in Diling County, and you could easily find out where it was by asking around.

Arriving at the Kou residence, located in the heart of Diling County, Tang Sanzang and his group hadn't even knocked on the door when they saw the Kou residence door open.

Master Kou, along with his family, was already coming out to greet them.

"I heard that a great Tang monk has come to my Diling County. I was just about to take my family to welcome you. May I ask, are you the great Tang monks?"

Master Kou bowed very respectfully and enthusiastically to Tang Sanzang and his group and asked.
