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

#832 - Nezha: My boss asked for leave today

Previously, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Five Directional Revealing Deities had concealed information, so Tathagata Buddha was unaware that the pilgrimage team had transformed into such a bizarre state.

Furthermore, what exactly was this Advanced Buddhism all about?

It's simply outrageous!

Tathagata Buddha clutched his head, completely dumbfounded.

Tang Sanzang was drinking alcohol and eating meat, his body full of muscles, expounding on Advanced Buddhism;

His other three disciples had also been enlightened by the Prison God, and were all staunch supporters of Advanced Buddhism.

Tathagata Buddha hadn't heard much about these things before, so witnessing them firsthand now was quite a shock, understandably.

Ma Sui, overhearing the discussions of the Journey to the West pilgrimage team, especially regarding the Advanced Buddhism, made his eyes light up and his eyebrows raise high.

"How can such Buddhism exist in this world? Who conceived of it? Such merit and creation are comparable to that of a sage!"

"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality… Back then, the Jie Cult only sought one of these, and it was already incredibly prosperous. If one could obtain all twelve mysteries, wouldn't they be invincible in the world?!"

Upon hearing about this Advanced Buddhism for the first time, Ma Sui was completely captivated by it.

His worldview was greatly impacted. This was a path that no one had ever conceived of since the beginning of time.

Even the Western religion, which was skilled at controlling the thoughts of others, seemed so pale and weak in the face of these twenty-four words, and was instantly shattered!

To call this advanced ideology is not an exaggeration at all.

Ma Sui suddenly felt somewhat moved. It was no wonder that Tang Sanzang, who had studied Buddhism diligently since childhood, would be so obsessed with this Advanced Buddhism.

Ma Sui even felt some admiration in his heart. Who exactly was the sacred figure who could propose such an advanced ideology!

If he could meet him and become his disciple to cultivate this new ideology, his future life would be completely renewed!

Ma Sui didn't expect that he would stumble upon the answer he had been seeking for many years in seclusion today. He had been searching for a way to break through the shackles in his heart.

For a time, Ma Sui's heart was filled with longing for the person who proposed Advanced Buddhism, and he even forgot the purpose of his visit.

Tathagata Buddha, however, was not happy. His face was as dark as ink, and he gnashed his teeth.

"Who exactly is it that is using such evil and rebellious ideas to poison the Buddhism I teach? If one is born as a human and does not respect the Buddha, can they still be considered human!"

"They are evil spirits, they are destined to fall into the Avici Hell!"

"That damned Chu Hao, it's already late in the morning, why hasn't he arrived yet! If he doesn't come, the entire Journey to the West team will be completely poisoned by this sinful ideology!"

"Wait… Could it be that all of this was taught by him?"

Tathagata Buddha's mind became increasingly chaotic, and fine sweat oozed from his forehead.

However, the thoughts of the Journey to the West team were no longer a major problem. Now, the Journey to the West team was completely stalled because Chu Hao hadn't arrived.

This made Tathagata Buddha almost go crazy!

The most critical thing now was that because Chu Hao hadn't arrived,

Not only did Amitabha Buddha waste his only favor, but Ma Sui, who he had painstakingly invited to attack Chu Hao, had no chance to take action.

Now, the Journey to the West team simply didn't want to move forward, putting on an act of 'I won't leave unless the Prison God comes,' which drove Tathagata Buddha to extreme frustration!

Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth and said to Ma Sui:

"Golden Hoop Immortal, you wait here, I will go and capture that Prison God right now!"

"How dare he stand me up? Today, no matter what, I will make him pay the price!"

Ma Sui's eyes were indifferent, and he simply waved his hand impatiently.

"I still say the same thing, I will only take action today, past the deadline, I will not wait."

"After today, I will have no connection with you, and I will sever all ties with Amitabha Buddha!"

Tathagata Buddha was exasperated and quickly flew towards the Heavenly Court.

Before leaving, Tathagata Buddha also saw that the pilgrimage team seemed to have gone up the mountain to suppress bandits for fun…

Tathagata Buddha's face turned green. How could monks suppress bandits? It's a violation of the precepts!

Tathagata Buddha didn't dare to stay any longer, he was afraid that he would have a heart attack from anger.

…

Heavenly Court.

Tathagata Buddha arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall in a fit of anger and with a fierce aura.

Tathagata Buddha was about to kick open the gate of the Law Enforcement Hall, but thinking of the beatings he had endured before,

Kicking the door is fun for a moment, but paying for it leads to the crematorium.

Tathagata Buddha still restrained himself.

He obediently knocked on the door.

DuangDuangDuang!

Nezha opened the door calmly. When he saw that it was Tathagata Buddha, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He closed it.

"Early in the morning, how unlucky," Nezha muttered.

Tathagata Buddha was turned away, and his face flushed with anger!

"The Law Enforcement Hall is so rude, open the door quickly, there is an urgent matter to discuss, you won't be able to bear the responsibility if it's late!"

"Nezha, don't be too arrogant! Open the door quickly!"

Tathagata Buddha was exasperated. He didn't expect that the people in the Law Enforcement Hall were so tough now, even Nezha dared to ignore him!

Nezha was not flustered at all. Not to mention that his boss was now the Gouchen Emperor,

In addition, this was the Heavenly Court, and the Law Enforcement Hall was the highest law enforcement agency in the Heavenly Court, so Tathagata Buddha couldn't be arrogant.

Nezha ignored him and turned to go back.

Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help it, so he was about to break in.

But at this time, a faint voice came.

"Tathagata Buddha has come to my Heavenly Court to pay a visit, why is he so rude?"

Tathagata Buddha suddenly turned his head, only to see the Jade Emperor standing behind him, looking at him coldly.

The Jade Emperor had long felt Tathagata Buddha's aura, and fearing that Tathagata Buddha would cause trouble, he came to the Law Enforcement Hall one step ahead to deal with Tathagata Buddha.

Chu Hao was now one of the Four Emperors, and the Jade Emperor had a good excuse to support Chu Hao, so he sat in the hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, not being deliberate at all.

Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth and stared at the Jade Emperor with bulging veins.

"The Prison God Chu Hao didn't come to work today, which is different from what we agreed upon. Does the Heavenly Court want to violate the matters established by the Sages? The Journey to the West is now stalled, can you bear the responsibility?!"

Tathagata Buddha was so nervous, not because of the stagnation,

But because he had painstakingly used his only favor to invite Ma Sui, but the Prison God Chu Hao didn't give him any face and was absent today!

Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth in anger. He hurriedly wanted Chu Hao to return to the team, just to let Chu Hao get beaten up!

The Jade Emperor didn't know the inside story and hadn't answered yet.

But at this time, at the gate of the Law Enforcement Hall, Nezha poked his head out from inside.

"My boss took a leave of absence today, oh."

Tathagata Buddha's face instantly froze, his eyes widened.

"A leave of absence?!?!?"
