#2429 - Chu Hao, the incarnation of Guanyin
At this moment, the four members of Tang Sanzang's group, waiting before Lingyun Ferry, appeared somewhat anxious, constantly peering into the ferry.
However, Lingyun Ferry had been placed under a restriction by the Western Heavens, making it impossible to fly above it. Otherwise, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie would have flown over to take a look.
Because the time had indeed been quite long, and Lingyun Ferry wasn't very wide. According to the distance, they could have made several round trips by now.
Moreover, the battle between Chu Hao and the Buddha King Ba幢 Guang had been quite intense. Although Tang Sanzang and the others couldn't see what was happening inside, they had heard the sounds of fighting.
"Has something happened to Immortal Chu Hao after all this time?"
Tang Sanzang said with some anxiety.
"Something does seem amiss, but we can't enter to investigate."
"Based on our boss's strength, nothing should have happened, right?"
"If Immortal Chu Hao doesn't return soon, we're going to turn back!"
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, the Buddha King Ba幢 Guang, who was preparing inside Lingyun Ferry, became somewhat worried and said to Guanyin.
"We need to hurry, otherwise if Tang Sanzang and the others really leave, we won't be able to complete our mission.
What's your plan? Tell me quickly."
Guanyin looked at the Buddha King Ba幢 Guang with a smile, then transformed directly into Chu Hao's appearance.
"You continue to pole the boat. I'll transform into Chu Hao. I'm using a special technique, so even Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes of Truth won't be able to see through it.
Tang Sanzang and the others trust Chu Hao immensely. By transforming into Chu Hao, I can easily trick them onto the boat."
Knowing Guanyin's plan, the Buddha King Ba幢 Guang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and nodded to Guanyin.
"It's indeed a brilliant plan. Let's do it that way."
The Buddha King Ba幢 Guang transformed back into the boat-poling Buddha, and with Guanyin, who had transformed into Chu Hao, turned back towards Tang Sanzang's group.
Soon, the Buddha King Ba幢 Guang and Guanyin returned to the front of Lingyun Ferry, looking at the four members of Tang Sanzang's group on the shore.
"Immortal Chu Hao, is there any problem?"
Tang Sanzang asked Chu Hao, who was actually Guanyin in disguise.
"Tang Sanzang, don't worry. This boat is very safe. I just tested it for a while to ensure safety and it can safely reach the other side.
You four disciples can get on the boat without worry. With me here, I can naturally guarantee your safety."
Guanyin, disguised as Chu Hao, replied to Tang Sanzang and the others.
"Very well!"
Tang Sanzang really didn't suspect anything and was about to board the boat immediately.
Seeing Tang Sanzang about to board, the Buddha King Ba幢 Guang and Guanyin were overjoyed, but just at that moment, Sun Wukong suddenly said.
"Master, don't rush. Wait a moment. Have you forgotten that we still need to pack our luggage? Many of the items in this luggage are afraid of water."
As Sun Wukong spoke, he pulled Tang Sanzang back.
At the same time that Sun Wukong pulled back Tang Sanzang, he winked at Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie. The four disciples naturally had a tacit understanding long ago.
With just a look, they could understand each other's meaning, and Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng immediately cooperated.
"Yes, we still need to wait a bit. We still have luggage to pack."
"We'll help Master and Senior Brother. We'll be done soon!"
As the four disciples spoke, they came to the side together. Only then did Sun Wukong quietly say to Tang Sanzang and the other two.
"Master, I think this Chu Hao seems a bit strange."
The reason Sun Wukong said this wasn't because his Fiery Eyes of Truth saw through Guanyin's identity, but because of a feeling.
Guanyin used a special technique to transform into Chu Hao's appearance, so Tang Sanzang and the others naturally couldn't see anything wrong.
However, Chu Hao's identity was special. As the Three Realms Prison God of the Heavenly Court, in charge of the Three Realms' punishments, he not only had a very high status, but also possessed an aura that demons feared.
Chu Hao had been traveling west with Tang Sanzang and the others all the way, and the relationship between them was very close. Tang Sanzang and the others also knew Chu Hao very well.
Guanyin could transform into Chu Hao's appearance, but couldn't transform into Chu Hao's majesty and aura.
This was where Sun Wukong noticed the abnormality. Guanyin had overlooked this point.
"Now that Wukong says it, I also feel that this Immortal Chu Hao is indeed a bit strange."
"My boss is mighty and domineering. The current Chu Hao certainly doesn't have this aura. Instead, he looks a bit wretched between the eyebrows."
"Immortal Chu Hao would never have such a change. This should be a fake."
Tang Sanzang and the others all nodded in agreement with Sun Wukong's judgment.
"Whether it's real or fake, we can find out with just a small test."
As Sun Wukong spoke, he signaled for Tang Sanzang and the others to cooperate.
"Oh no, we've lost something! Among them is the jade emperor's personal edict, that's what the jade emperor told us to give to the Buddha!"
Sun Wukong pretended to be panicked and shouted loudly.
"What should we do? We can't lose this item, otherwise we'll have to go to the Heavenly Court to get another copy from the Jade Emperor."
"The Jade Emperor's temper isn't good. If we lose his things, he might turn his face."
"Why don't we go back and look for it?"
Tang Sanzang and the others also pretended to be in a chaotic discussion, but in fact, they were saying all this for Chu Hao, who was actually Guanyin, to hear.
"There's even the Jade Emperor's edict?"
Hearing them say this, Guanyin was stunned.
However, Guanyin smiled and said to Tang Sanzang and the others.
"It doesn't matter if the Jade Emperor's edict is lost. You board the boat first, cross Lingyun Ferry, and I'll go to the Heavenly Court to ask for another copy for you.
Based on my relationship with the Jade Emperor, this is just a small matter. You don't need to worry. Just board the boat first."
Guanyin said to Tang Sanzang and the others. Guanyin's purpose was to trick Tang Sanzang and his disciples onto the boat. She didn't dare to really go to the Heavenly Court.
As long as Tang Sanzang and the others boarded the boat and became puppets of the Western Heavens, then nothing else mattered.
"It's really a fake."
Hearing Guanyin say this, Tang Sanzang and the others immediately came to a definite conclusion.
In fact, there was no Jade Emperor's edict. The Jade Emperor wouldn't issue an edict for them. It was just Sun Wukong's trick.
"We must not board the boat. It seems that Immortal Chu Hao is in trouble."
Tang Sanzang said to Sun Wukong and the other two in a low voice.
"This must be a transformation by someone from the Western Heavens. Since they've transformed into Chu Hao, let's have some fun with him."
"Let him reveal his true form and vent the anger in our hearts."
"The Western Heavens are really treacherous and cunning. Who exactly transformed into Immortal Chu Hao to deceive us?"
Sun Wukong and the other two also whispered to each other.
The four reached a consensus during their discussion. They would definitely not board the boat and would also play around with this person who had transformed into Chu Hao.
