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

#2424 - It must be a monster

Three days later, Chu Hao and the Tang Monk's group of four arrived at the foot of Mount Ling, and before them lay the Lingyun Ferry.

The Lingyun Ferry was originally a huge mountain ravine at the foot of the Western Paradise, which was later transformed by the Buddha Tathagata, who diverted the rivers of Hezhou, where rhinoceroses lived.

It became a dividing line between Mount Ling and the mortal world, embodying the sanctity and nobility of the land of Mount Ling, and was considered a vanity project of the Western Paradise.

According to the control of the Western Paradise, ordinary people cannot easily enter the land of Mount Ling, so the waters of the Lingyun Ferry are turbulent and rapid, making it difficult for boats to cross.

"The Western Paradise always says that all beings are equal, and that one can become a Buddha on the spot by laying down the butcher knife, but they have created such a boundary, clearly regarding themselves as beings beyond all others, truly hypocritical to the extreme!"

Tang Monk looked at the turbulent flood of the Lingyun Ferry and said with great disgust.

"The Western Paradise has always been like this. According to Old Sun's idea, we should just overturn this Lingyun Ferry directly."

"Old Pig also has such an idea, why don't we try it out!"

"Eldest Brother and Second Brother are right."

Sun Wukong and the other two discussed.

Sun Wukong walked to the Lingyun Ferry and first used his golden cudgel to test the depth of the water.

Although the Lingyun Ferry was turbulent, it was not as formidable as the Tongtian River or the Liusha River.

"Watch Old Sun overturn it with a single blow."

Sun Wukong inserted the golden cudgel into the bottom of the water and then pried it with force.

Sun Wukong's cultivation is now at the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and with the power of his golden cudgel, he can easily overturn rivers and seas.

But this time, Sun Wukong did not succeed. No matter how hard Sun Wukong tried, the Lingyun Ferry remained unmoved.

"Monkey Bro, that won't work. In my opinion, we should start from the water."

Pig Bajie brandished his Nine-toothed Rake and plunged into the water.

He waved the Nine-toothed Rake in the water, smashing and crashing, trying to tear a gap in the Lingyun Ferry.

However, Pig Bajie also failed. The Lingyun Ferry seemed to be an impregnable wall, and even after Pig Bajie tossed about for half an hour, not even a small gap appeared.

Pig Bajie could only helplessly go ashore, panting heavily to rest.

"This Lingyun Ferry is connected to the foundation stone of Mount Ling, and it is estimated that the Buddha Tathagata has personally strengthened the seal. It would be a bit difficult even for me to destroy it by force.

Moreover, if the commotion gets too big, I am afraid it will alarm the Buddha Tathagata and the Western Paradise, so let's not bother for the time being."

Chu Hao said to Sun Wukong and Pig Bajie.

With Chu Hao's power, he could of course overturn this Lingyun Ferry, but he could not do so.

The Western Paradise had already set up a plan here and notified the Heavenly Court. Regardless of how much truth Guanyin spoke at the time, he still had to let Tang Monk and the others put on a good show.

"The Western Paradise will arrange for someone to come, we will wait here."

Chu Hao said to Tang Monk and his disciples.

In fact, Tang Monk and the others were not in a hurry to cross the Lingyun Ferry and enter Mount Ling. Hearing what Chu Hao said, the four of them sat down on the spot.

Tang Monk closed his eyes to rest, Sun Wukong was teasing Pig Bajie, and Sha Monk was tidying up the luggage and horses.

As for Chu Hao, he was thinking about what kind of scheme the Western Paradise would set up this time.

Chu Hao and Tang Monk and the other three waited for about two hours before movement came from the Lingyun Ferry.

Chu Hao and Tang Monk looked over and saw an old man slowly approaching them in a small boat.

The Lingyun Ferry was turbulent, and the flood could sweep even goose feathers into the bottom of the water. Ordinary boats could not travel on it at all.

Adding to what was previously known, it could be determined that this was arranged by the Western Paradise, and the old man on the boat was transformed by a Buddha of the Western Paradise.

It was just that even Chu Hao could not see through the true identity of the old man, which Buddha of the Western Paradise had come in disguise.

"It's your turn to act, at least cooperate a little."

Chu Hao said to Tang Monk and the others, giving them a wink at the same time.

Tang Monk and the others naturally understood and immediately got up, pretending to be ignorant and waving to the old man.

"Boatman, come here, we want to cross the river!"

Hearing Tang Monk and the others calling out like this, the old man smiled and nodded, steering the small boat slowly closer.

"Several masters, do you want to cross the river? Then please get on the boat."

"But my boat is very special, it depends on whether you masters have the courage."

"To cross this Lingyun Ferry, only my boat can be used!"

The old man said to Tang Monk and the others with a smile.

"Without a bottom, how can we board the boat?"

"Old man, are you playing tricks on us?"

Tang Monk and his disciples all pretended to be surprised and questioned the old man.

"This Lingyun Ferry is the dividing line between the mortal world and Mount Ling. Only those with great wisdom and great courage can set foot on the land of Mount Ling.

Although my boat has no bottom, people with great wisdom and great courage can ride safely and will never fall into the river.

If you masters do not have this wisdom and courage, then how are you qualified to step into Mount Ling? You might as well turn back immediately."

The old man's words were very clear, he was using reverse psychology to trick Tang Monk and his disciples into boarding the boat, which Chu Hao and Tang Monk and the others could all hear.

Tang Monk and his disciples glanced at Chu Hao, meaning to ask Chu Hao for his opinion.

Before Chu Hao understood the Western Paradise's conspiracy, he would naturally not let Tang Monk and his disciples board the boat easily.

So Chu Hao shook his head slightly at Tang Monk and the others, and Tang Monk and the others immediately understood Chu Hao's meaning.

Tang Monk immediately changed his words and said to the old man.

"Old man, you are talking nonsense. I think you have bad intentions and clearly want to harm us masters and disciples."

Hearing Tang Monk say this, Sun Wukong and Pig Bajie naturally immediately echoed.

"Master is right, I think this old man is clearly a monster!"

"He wants to trick us into boarding the boat and then suddenly attack us!"

"This old man is crazy, he is really untrustworthy, we must not board the boat!"

Hearing Sun Wukong and the other three say this, the old man frowned. He had wanted to trick Tang Monk and the four onto the boat with reverse psychology.

But Tang Monk and the four accused him of being a monster and said he was crazy, obviously unwilling to board the boat.

If Tang Monk and the others did not board the boat, how would he complete his mission, and how would the Western Paradise's conspiracy unfold next?

"Several masters, I am not a monster, this is the foot of Mount Ling, how can there be monsters here, don't make wild guesses, please hurry up and board the boat."

The old man explained to Tang Monk and the others.

"You say you are not a monster, then how can you prove it to us?"

Tang Monk and the others suppressed their laughter and said to the old man.

"How can I prove this?"

The old man was a little helpless by Tang Monk's words!
