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

#2107 - Changes in Jinping Prefecture

Although the Western Heaven did manage to withstand this siege by the demon race, it did not eliminate the security threat posed by them.

The demon race was stationed outside the city, posing a constant threat to Jinping Prefecture, which undoubtedly added pressure to the people within.

Previously, the construction of the Sky Piercing Lantern Tower had subjected the people of Jinping Prefecture to exploitation, which had already caused dissatisfaction.

Due to the deterrence of the Western Heaven and the cruelty of the governor, the situation within the city was barely stabilized, making the people angry but afraid to speak out.

For the common people, although life was not as good as before, they could still manage to live.

But now, the threat of the demon race has broken the long-standing safety and stability of Jinping Prefecture, leaving the people unable to feel even the most basic security in their lives.

Even if the people were brainwashed by the Western Heaven and blinded by profit, they were now beginning to slowly awaken.

"Building the lantern tower is such a waste of manpower and resources, yet it cannot drive away the demon race."

"I don't think the Western Heaven is reliable at all. What guarantee do we have for our safety?"

"There are fewer and fewer people in this city. They have all been killed by the governor and refined into lamp oil. I don't know when it will be our turn."

Such discussions have already spread privately among the people of Jinping Prefecture.

Moreover, those Buddhas of the Western Heaven were acting like tyrants within Jinping Prefecture, treating themselves as gods.

In a restaurant in the east of the city, it was the busiest time, and the guests were drinking and chatting, and business was not bad.

At this moment, more than a dozen Buddhas from the Western Heaven entered the restaurant.

"I'm sorry, eminent monks, we are full today."

The waiter said to the group of Buddhas from the Western Heaven, indicating that there were no seats available.

However, the group of Buddhas was not polite, and the leading Buddha was even more arrogant.

"You mortals, quickly give us your seats. Only when we are full can we protect your safety."

The leading Buddha said, directly driving out the customers in the restaurant and chasing them all away.

"Venerable monks, how can you do this?"

The owner was also helpless. How could he afford to offend the Buddhas of the Western Heaven?

"Stop talking nonsense. We come here to eat and drink to bring you blessings and eliminate disasters. Quickly bring up the best wine and food."

The Buddhas said as they sat down, telling the owner to quickly serve wine and dishes.

After eating and drinking, the Buddhas were full and patted their butts and left, with no intention of paying the bill.

"Venerable monks, shouldn't you reward some money for the meal?"

The owner mustered his courage and stopped the Buddhas.

"We come here to eat, and you dare to ask for money?"

When the Buddhas saw that the owner dared to ask them for money, they were furious and beat him up.

In a shop in the west of the city, several Buddhas were shopping, but they were truly getting everything for free.

The shop owner was beaten to death by these Buddhas for asking them for money.

These Buddhas robbed all the treasures in the shop and then went to the next one to continue robbing.

The shops and businesses of the entire street were robbed by the Buddhas.

Although not all Buddhas were like this, there were quite a few among these thousands of Buddhas who committed such misdeeds.

These Buddhas were all low-level disciples and monks in the Western Heaven. Now that they have come to Jinping Prefecture and have such an opportunity to make a fortune, how could they let it go?
