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

#553 - The Monkey King, whose destiny is equal to that of heaven, how can he be a lackey?

Tang Sanzang looked at the old woman earnestly and said in a gentle voice:

"Old woman, is this thing mine to dispose of?"

"What did you call me? You call me old woman after taking the thing?" The old woman was dumbfounded.

But sensing that Sun Wukong was about to return, the old woman quickly waved her hand and left.

"You decide for yourself! You must trick your disciple into wearing this treasure, otherwise he won't accept your good intentions!"

Tang Sanzang stood there, full of question marks, and didn't know what the old woman was up to for a moment.

But he knew that he had gotten two treasures for nothing.

Moreover, one of them was a supreme body-protecting treasure!

After Sun Wukong returned, Tang Sanzang excitedly said to Sun Wukong:

"Wukong, you're back! Did you catch the monster?"

Sun Wukong glanced at Tang Sanzang, and said unhappily:

"I was tricked, there were no monsters there at all! Did anyone catch you here to make you into shredded chicken?"

Tang Sanzang twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Good disciple, let's not talk about chicken, let's be civilized."

Sun Wukong sneered, "I, Old Sun, will talk about chicken if I want to, civilization can go to hell!"

Tang Sanzang gave a thumbs up, "Awesome."

Sun Wukong's eyes were cold, and a violent look appeared on his face.

"Hmph, playing tricks on Old Sun, no monster in these three realms could do that!"

"Which bastard from the Western Paradise is it?!"

Sun Wukong was not stupid after all, using the name of the Prison God and being able to come and go so easily in front of him.

Who else could it be but the Western Paradise?

Sun Wukong was a rebellious demon king after all, although he had been suppressed for five hundred years, his hostility had not diminished!

How could the Great Sage Equaling Heaven give up?

Sun Wukong's eyes were full of rage, he recalled:

Back then in the Heavenly Prison, he had already received Chu Hao's careful guidance, and Chu Hao had also intentionally or unintentionally revealed the truth about the Journey to the West to Sun Wukong.

He now completely understood what this so-called Journey to the West was all about!

This was simply a show!

It was like catching the leader of the rebels, pulling the prisoner in a prison van to the Meridian Gate for execution, to show the world the power of the ruler!

It's just that the Buddha Tathagata changed it to a nicer term, turning it into being conferred as a Buddha.

Sun Wukong could even guess what the world would hear about his story afterwards—

Sun Wukong, a criminal, was pardoned by my Buddha, and served Xuanzang on a journey to the West to seek the scriptures and save the world.

He is loyal and respects the Buddha.

He washes away his hostility and lays down his butcher knife.

Turning back is the shore, convert to my Buddha!

Obedient like a dog...

The rage in Sun Wukong's heart was ignited once again!

Just after stepping out of Mount Huaguo, he encountered such a bizarre incident,

The Western Paradise came to the Heavenly Court to snatch people, and Guanyin transformed to give guidance.

All of his actions were under someone else's control!

He was just a monkey in a window for people to play with!

"I, Old Sun, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, my life is equal to heaven, how can I be someone else's dog!" Sun Wukong gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Sun Wukong saw Tang Sanzang take out clothes and a hat.

Sun Wukong frowned.

"What is it?"

Sun Wukong's tone seemed a little impolite.

Although he had just promised to protect Tang Sanzang well, Sun Wukong had become impatient after being tossed around by the Western Paradise these past few days.

And the Buddhas of the Western Paradise also expected Sun Wukong to be unruly by nature and would definitely not listen obediently, so they arranged the tight fillet after leaving the mountain.

All of this was originally reasonable, but because Chu Hao was present, there was a little change.

Tang Sanzang didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Sun Wukong, he could only take half a step back and said very gently:

"Good disciple, the world is so wonderful, but you are so irritable, that's not good."

"Come, this master will give you something good."

Tang Sanzang reluctantly took out the clothes and hat.

He had always been fond of this thing in his heart, especially since this thing was a treasure bestowed by the Prison God himself!

If it was given by the Western Paradise, Tang Sanzang would definitely not want it!

But this is a treasure sent by the Immortal Lord, a supreme body-protecting treasure, which is not stained by all laws and not invaded by all evils!

Tang Sanzang had just experienced a life-and-death separation, and personally saw his brother being torn apart and eaten, and not even dipped in soy sauce.

Even Tang Sanzang had personally experienced the feeling of having his phoenix claws torn off.

Tang Sanzang had personally felt the pain that mortals could not bear!

Therefore, Tang Sanzang always had a sense of insecurity in his heart, and the reason why he seemed so impulsive and violent on weekdays was precisely because of this sense of insecurity.

Tang Sanzang desperately wanted to improve himself, so that he would at least not become fertilizer pulled out by monsters.

And now, the Immortal Lord gave him two such advanced magic weapons for nothing, Tang Sanzang was greedy when he looked at them!

He wanted to monopolize these magic weapons!

But he didn't dare to disobey the Immortal Lord's order, no matter who he disobeyed, he couldn't disobey the words of the Prison God!

Therefore, Tang Sanzang reluctantly handed over the two treasures and said to Sun Wukong:

"These are what I wore when I was a child. If you wear this hat, you will recite the scriptures without teaching them; if you wear these clothes, you will perform the etiquette without teaching them."

Tang Sanzang also said these words when the old woman was babbling about it just now.

Of course, Tang Sanzang didn't know why the old woman was talking such nonsense, wouldn't it be okay to just say that it was sent by the Immortal Lord?

Sun Wukong originally wanted to take it.

But Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, and looked at Tang Sanzang with a puzzled expression,

"But before setting off, I didn't see these luggage, when did you bring them?"

Tang Sanzang was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer.

Sun Wukong took out the golden cudgel without saying a word, with a murderous look on his face, and grinned:

"Good master, don't talk nonsense, if you break the precepts against me, Old Sun will help you get rid of the bad habit of lying!"

Get rid of it?

Wouldn't it be impossible to lie if you beat him to death?

Immediately, Tang Sanzang admitted defeat and quickly said:

"This, this, this is actually sent to me by an ugly old woman who popped up from nowhere."

"She said it was sent by a man in white, whose characteristic is that he is very handsome. I think it must be the Immortal Lord himself."

"He also told me not to tell the truth, but to coax you to wear it first."

Tang Sanzang obviously didn't dare to break the precepts in front of Sun Wukong.

The Buddhist teachings that Sun Wukong learned were all taught by Tang Sanzang himself!

Tang Sanzang knew too well what means should be used to deal with those who break the precepts.

Putting himself in his shoes, if someone broke the precepts against Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang would hit him with this tin staff and directly smash the other party's crotch!

Sun Wukong's vigilance also instantly dropped, and a smile appeared on his face,

"It turns out it was sent by Brother Prison God, that's great, thank you Brother Prison God."

But at this moment, a voice sounded in Sun Wukong's ear,

"It wasn't me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

The atmosphere of the scene instantly froze!
