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

#2075 - Continue the Journey West

Before Buddha and the monks of the Western Paradise could react, Chu Hao had already walked in, escorting the bound Guanyin.

"Chu Hao, what is the meaning of this?"

Buddha turned around, pretending to be confused as he questioned Chu Hao with an unfriendly expression.

"Guanyin has been causing trouble in the mortal realm. I have captured her and handed her over to Buddha to be dealt with, to give the affected people an explanation."

Chu Hao spoke to Buddha with righteous indignation, recounting Guanyin's evil deeds.

Of course, Chu Hao knew that all of this was instigated by Buddha, so he added a sentence at the end.

"Guanyin's evil deeds have been exposed to the world, and the people are very angry about this. If Buddha does not give a satisfactory outcome, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the people!"

Hearing what Chu Hao said, Buddha frowned and glanced at Guanyin with some displeasure.

Guanyin had messed things up again, and was caught on the spot by Chu Hao and brought here.

If Buddha does not deal with it, Chu Hao will definitely publicize it. At that time, the people's resentment towards the Western Paradise will be great, and the reputation of the Western Paradise will be greatly affected.

However, Guanyin is, after all, Buddha's right-hand man, confidant, and close aide. It is impossible for Buddha to seriously deal with her.

"Chu Hao, in my opinion, Guanyin was just confused for a moment. Our Buddha is merciful and should give her a chance to reform herself."

Buddha thought for a moment, forced a smile, and said to Chu Hao, the meaning of which was naturally to excuse Guanyin.

Chu Hao naturally understood that Buddha would not deal with Guanyin. Bringing her here was to completely expose the Western Paradise's conspiracies and tricks.

Secondly, it was also to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Buddha. As for the content of the negotiation, it was naturally for the sake of the people in the mortal realm.

"I naturally can't interfere with how Buddha handles it, but it's hard to say what those people will think."

Chu Hao knew that even if Buddha wanted to protect Guanyin, he had to protect the reputation of the Western Paradise.

"How about this, our Western Paradise is willing to take out some money to compensate those people and provide them with some conveniences. What do you think?"

Knowing that he had been caught by Chu Hao, Buddha took the initiative to offer compensation.

"Didn't Buddha say that the Western Paradise has no savings? Since you can take out compensation, shouldn't you also repay the debt you owe me? I still have the IOU that Buddha personally wrote here."

As Chu Hao spoke, he took out the IOU that Buddha had given him and deliberately displayed it in front of the monks of the Western Paradise.

"Ahem, Chu Hao, we can discuss this."

Buddha's face looked very embarrassed when he saw the IOU he had written being displayed by Chu Hao, and he hurriedly signaled Chu Hao to put it away.

Buddha could take out some money to compensate in order to protect Guanyin, which was really the only way.

But Chu Hao took the opportunity to demand payment, which caught him a little off guard. The Western Paradise really didn't have that much money and treasure.

"Buddha, I also know your difficulties. Since it is inconvenient in terms of money, you can take out some things to mortgage to me."

Chu Hao naturally saw Buddha's embarrassment and said to Buddha with a smile.

"Mortgage? You don't want me to mortgage Mount Ling to you, do you?"

Buddha was so angry when he heard Chu Hao say this that his nose almost crooked.

"Mount Ling is Buddha's headquarters, of course it can't be mortgaged to me, but you can mortgage a part of the West Niu He Continent to me."

Chu Hao's purpose here was for this.

With the West Niu He Continent under the control of the Western Paradise, the people here would not have a good life, so the best way to save the people was to separate the West Niu He Continent from the Western Paradise.

Of course, the West Niu He Continent is the foundation of the Western Paradise, and it is naturally impossible to take it all, but you can ask for a part of the area.

"This…."

Buddha looked like. His face turned black.

He weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Whether it was for his own reputation or for his confidant Guanyin, it seemed that he could only agree to Chu Hao's request.

"How about this, I will temporarily mortgage a piece of area including Mie Fa Kingdom, Fengxian County, and Yuhua Prefecture to you."

Buddha said with gritted teeth, which was almost as painful as cutting meat from his body.

"Okay, then thank you Buddha. The Western Paradise must not interfere in the affairs of this area in the future, and it will be under the jurisdiction of my Prison God Palace."

Chu Hao successfully demanded a piece of land including Fengxian County and Yuhua Prefecture from Buddha. The people here all believe in the Prison God.

It was also equivalent to Chu Hao truly sheltering them and incorporating this area into the jurisdiction of the Prison God Palace.

"Chu Hao, now that everything is resolved, you should go west as soon as possible. The time has been delayed for a long time, and the Western Journey Catastrophe cannot be delayed!"

Buddha said to Chu Hao, gritting his teeth.

"Buddha, don't worry, we will return immediately and take them to continue the journey to the west."

Chu Hao replied and left the land of Mount Ling.

When Chu Hao returned, Tang Seng and others had already returned to Yuhua Prefecture. After learning about Chu Hao's gains in the Western Paradise, Tang Seng and the four were constantly praising and rejoicing.

"Immortal Chu Hao has great wisdom. With the protection of the Prison God Palace, the people here can live and work in peace and contentment in the future."

"I thought brother would want some wealth and magic weapons, but I didn't expect brother to be so considerate of the people."

"Boss is the boss, he is so thoughtful and admirable."

Now that the matter here has been completely resolved, they should naturally continue the Western Journey plan.

"We will set off immediately and continue the journey to the west."

Chu Hao said to Tang Seng and the four with a decision.

The reason for this was of course not because of Buddha's urging, but because Chu Hao had made some discoveries again.

After packing up their luggage, Chu Hao and Tang Seng and his disciples continued on their journey to the west.

"After passing Yuhua Prefecture, the next stop is Jinping Prefecture."

Before setting off, Tang Seng and the others had also inquired about the situation. After Yuhua Prefecture, it was Jinping Prefecture.

Although Yuhua Prefecture and Jinping Prefecture are adjacent to each other, the transportation between the two is not convenient. There are many mountains and ridges, and there are almost no decent roads.

Moreover, it is said that there are often fierce beasts, and even man-eating monsters,出没 between these mountains.

Chu Hao and Tang Seng and his four disciples walked for four or five days in a row, crossing several mountains and ridges. Seeing that after crossing another mountain, they would enter the flat land within the scope of Jinping Prefecture.

"Help!"

At this moment, suddenly from the mountains in front, there were bursts of panicked cries for help and miserable howls.
