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

#843 - There must be something strange going on here.

The Tathagata Buddha could see that the Journey to the West team was approaching with overwhelming force.

Especially Tang Sanzang, who was trotting all the way, and at this speed, he would probably arrive at the specially arranged residence very soon.

They had agreed on the Four Sages testing Zen, but if Guanyin Bodhisattva and Lishan Laomu were not in place, what was there to test?

For a moment, the Tathagata Buddha became a little anxious.

"Lishan Laomu had already promised me that she would definitely come and arrange this difficulty!"

"Why is she going back on her word?!"

"Why isn't she coming?"

The Arhat looked distressed.

"Lishan Laomu said she wanted a salary, ten thousand merits of divine water, but Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't afford it, so the two started fighting..."

The Tathagata Buddha's face fell.

Damn it, are you sure you didn't see Chu Hao? Where did you learn these bad habits?

Why are you even asking for a salary? Is it so difficult for you to do something for my Western Paradise now?!

Does my Western Paradise have so little face?

The Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth, but seeing that the Journey to the West team was approaching the trial ground, the Tathagata Buddha hardened his heart.

"Give it! Give it first!"

"Anyway, in this difficulty, I will completely subdue this Chu Hao!"

The Tathagata Buddha finally succumbed to the overwhelming power of Lishan Laomu.

He knew that Lishan Laomu didn't want to break the agreement; she just wanted to take this opportunity to state her position.

She and the Tathagata Buddha were no longer related; if he wanted to ask her to help, it would have to be calculated in terms of merits of divine water.

Back then, they were the four chief inner disciples under the Tongtian Sect Leader: Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, and Holy Mother Guiling.

Now, Daoist Duobao had abandoned the Jie Sect and joined the Buddhist sect, becoming the Tathagata Buddha.

Holy Mother Wudang had always resented this, and she could not understand why Daoist Duobao would do such a thing...

But after all, time had passed, and Holy Mother Wudang had now changed her name to Lishan Laomu, and no longer cared about worldly affairs.

Being able to agree to come to the Journey to the West was still to add a bit of vitality to the Jie Sect in the Investiture of the Gods.

Soon, the Arhat returned to report that Lishan Laomu had finally released Guanyin Bodhisattva and had also agreed to come to the Journey to the West to act as Guanyin Bodhisattva's mother.

The Tathagata Buddha was very tired. Watching the pool of merit divine water being squeezed so much at the very beginning made the Tathagata Buddha feel the deep malice of society.

Fortunately, things were finally settled. As long as the Journey to the West people could be hooked tonight,

Especially that Chu Hao, he must be arranged clearly tonight!

The Tathagata Buddha's mood recovered at once. If he could permanently bind Chu Hao to the Western Paradise's ship, that would be excellent.

At this moment, the Tathagata Buddha looked at the human world again, with a bit more expectation in his heart.

......

At this moment, in the Journey to the West.

Tang Sanzang took the lead and strode towards a magnificent mansion.

It was already You time (5-7 PM), and Chu Hao shuddered.

[Congratulations on completing today's check-in task]

[Reward: Great Divine Power, Star Shift!]

[Star Shift: Using this great divine power allows you to instantly and forcibly shift positions with cultivators whose strength does not exceed your own. With immense force, you can even shift the positions of stars!]

Chu Hao raised his eyebrows. If this kind of great divine power was used well, it would be a life-saving trick!

It was time to get off work, and Chu Hao became lazy.

Tang Sanzang was very energetic. When he saw this gatehouse, it had drooping lotus-shaped elephant trunks and painted beams and carved pillars.

Tang Sanzang narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself:

"This family is indeed a wealthy family."

"Forget it, Old Sun will go in and take a look."

The Pilgrim was about to go in. His fiery eyes had already seen through everything, but it was not good to say it out loud.

Tang Sanzang quickly stopped Sun Wukong and said, "No, we monks should avoid suspicion and must not enter without permission. Wait for me to knock on the door and ask for lodging politely."

But, unexpectedly, there was silence inside the door, and the door remained motionless.

Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint trace of fighting spirit in his eyes.

"This poor monk just used at least a hundred pounds of force. It seems that I have met an opponent."

Sun Wukong quickly came up to stop him.

"Master, calm down, Master, calm down. This is just a door. There is no need, there is no need."

Tang Sanzang sighed.

"Forget it, I thought I had met a martial arts expert waiting for me inside. What a pity."

Bajie tethered the horse and leaned against the base of the wall. Sanzang sat on the stone pier. The Pilgrim and Sha Seng sat on the edge of the platform.

Chu Hao didn't run back to Heaven. There was really no need to go back and forth.

"Young men, let's set up camp here."

Chu Hao said lazily.

It was off work, so why continue working?

Moreover, the people inside haven't arrived yet, so even if Tang Sanzang blows up the door, it won't be of any use.

Tang Sanzang waited for a long time, but no one came out.

Tang Sanzang was impatient, jumped up and went into the door to see. It turned out that there were three large halls facing south, with high curtains.

On the screen door, there was a horizontal painting of Longevity Mountain and Blessed Sea. On the golden lacquer pillars on both sides, there was a couplet of red paper, which read: "Silk floats on the weak willow bridge in the evening, snowflakes dot the fragrant plum blossom courtyard in spring."

In the very center, there was a lacquered incense table, and on the table was an ancient bronze animal furnace.

There were six armchairs above, and four season hanging screens were hung on both sides.

Although Tang Sanzang did not have fiery eyes, he was also shrewd because he had traveled around the world.

He immediately concentrated and whispered:

"If this poor monk is not mistaken, this place is not an ordinary place!"

"According to this poor monk's many years of experience traveling around the world, this desolate mountain and wild ridge, this poor monk has beaten to death countless jackals, tigers, and leopards along the way, and also wiped out countless bandits."

"However, this place is so desolate, yet there is this wealthy family. Is this reasonable?"

"This is not reasonable."

Tang Sanzang asked and answered himself, his face full of suspicion.

Tang Sanzang traveled north and south. Last time, he was harmed by the Western Paradise and went to that temple.

If Tang Sanzang's mentality was not strong and he killed everyone in the temple, and also destroyed the door and set the fire, this weak monk Tang Sanzang would have been tricked.

And now, seeing such an outdoor room appearing for no reason, Tang Sanzang would be a ghost if he didn't suspect it.

Chu Hao and Sun Wukong had already seen through everything, of course, they didn't say it.

Tang Sanzang smashed the door dozens of times in a row and found that the door remained motionless. Tang Sanzang was angry.

"Something abnormal must be a demon. There must be something strange here. How can we monks sit idly by?

Everyone step back, and wait for this poor monk to blast through this broken wall with one punch, and we will go in and take a look!"

Tang Sanzang took a few steps back, stood in a horse stance, his whole body muscles bulged, and he suddenly punched out!
