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

#867 - Chu Hao: If you don't help someone in need, you are not a hero.

Now, the Journey to the West team traveled day and night, their pace very fast, and they soon arrived in front of the Wuzhuang Temple.

During this period, Chu Hao watched as Zhen Yuanzi and his large group of disciples followed Guanyin Bodhisattva away.

Chu Hao sighed and shook his head.

"Even the Supreme Great Power cannot escape the manipulation of fate?"

"However, with me here, you're lucky."

It wasn't that he wanted to help Zhen Yuanzi, but Chu Hao didn't want the Western Heavens to succeed so easily.

Tang Sanzang led his horse, released the reins, and took a few steps forward.

He saw a stele on the left side of the mountain gate, with ten large characters inscribed on it:

"Blessed Land of Longevity Mountain, Cave Heaven of Wuzhuang Temple."

Tang Sanzang was startled by the fierce aura emanating from the stele, and as he looked further, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Disciples, come and see, this place is exactly the beautiful scenery we saw before."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "These Daoists are bragging! When I, Old Sun, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, I didn't see such a person at the door of the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu!"

Pigsy, however, was deeply hesitant.

"Don't rush, let's go in and take a look first."

Just then, Qingfeng and Mingyue heard the sound from inside the door and walked out.

It had been a few days since Zhen Yuanzi left, and Qingfeng and Mingyue had been calculating the time, waiting for their arrival.

Tang Sanzang took the initiative to step forward, put his palms together, and said:

"This poor monk…"

Qingfeng covered Tang Sanzang's mouth.

"Shhh… I understand you, don't say it."

"You are from the Tang Dynasty in the East, going to the Western Heavens to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. Forgive us for not welcoming you properly, please sit down. Our master has asked us to wait for you for a long time."

Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows high, surprised, and said, "Where is your master?"

Mingyue said bluntly, "My master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, was invited by decree to the Miro Palace in the Upper Purity Heaven to listen to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit lecture, so he is not at home."

Chu Hao, who had been on horseback, opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

After a while, Chu Hao啧啧shook his head.

"Good fellow, it turned out to be this trick. I underestimated the Western Heaven's strategy."

Upon hearing that the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning was giving a lecture, Chu Hao knew that Zhen Yuanzi had fallen into the trap fairly. This time, the Western Heavens had really used a killer move.

On this side, Tang Sanzang was still very respectful and said:

"Since you masters are so awesome, may I ask what kind of people you are?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue immediately became smug.

Qingfeng pointed to the heaven and earth incense burner in the hall.

"My master is very powerful, unmatched between heaven and earth, and in his life, he only serves incense to the two characters of heaven and earth!"

"The Three Pure Ones are my master's friends, the Four Emperors are my master's old acquaintances, the Nine Luminaries are my master's juniors, and Yuan Chen is my master's lower guest."

Sun Wukong laughed.

But the next second, Chu Hao sat up and said faintly:

"Zhen Yuan Daisen, ah, he really dares to say these words."

Qingfeng and Mingyue were excited and looked at Chu Hao.

"You actually know my master? May I ask your honorable name?"

Chu Hao smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

Pigsy jumped out and said arrogantly:

"Say the name of my boss, and you'll be shocked!"

Qingfeng smiled indifferently.

"My master is already so powerful, who else can shock me?"

Pigsy said carelessly:

"My boss is the newly promoted Gouchen Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Prison God who enforces the law in the Three Realms, the controller of the nine-layered Heavenly Prison of the Heavenly Court, and the authority holder of the Enforcement Hall! Chu Hao is the name!"

When Qingfeng and Mingyue heard Pigsy announce this string of titles, their faces gradually became shocked, fearful, and terrified!

"Don't eat me!!!"

Qingfeng fled in terror, like a startled little rabbit.

Mingyue was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground, muttering in his mouth:

"According to rumors, the Prison God Chu Hao has a habit of eating children, does this mean my path to transformation ends here? Waaah…"

Chu Hao twitched the corner of his mouth, his reputation was damaged.

Pigsy shook his head and sighed beside him.

"Damn rumors, my boss is clearly just a handsome man who eats, drinks, plays, gambles, cheats, and steals everything, how could such rumors be fabricated?"

Chu Hao flew up with a kick and directly embedded Pigsy in the wall.

"I finally know why my reputation is so bad, it turns out you've been slandering me here every day!"

Chu Hao sighed.

"Forget it, forget it, let it be, it's really that people's hearts are not what they used to be, why doesn't everyone believe that I am a gentle and kind good person?"

"I told you not to talk, now what, the people are scared away?"

Pigsy pulled his head out of the wall, shook his head, and grinned:

"Or should we continue on our way?"

But when Chu Hao looked at the time, um, it was time to get off work.

"Looking at the sky, it's clear that we can't move forward anymore. Let's explore the area ahead later."

"Let's stay here tonight."

It wasn't that Chu Hao particularly wanted to stay, nor did he want to wade into this muddy water. It would be best to leave directly and let all the plans of the Western Heavens fail.

But…

[The Western Heavens want to arrange for Zhen Yuanzi, to stand idly by and watch him die, is that the act of a hero!]

[Task: Clock in and out at Wuzhuang Temple, restrain the actions of the four members of the scripture seeking team, do as you please without overstepping the boundaries, and never give the Western Heavens a chance to take advantage]

[Reward: Thirty Ginseng Fruits, Twenty sets of acquired spirit treasures]

[Note: This plot is a continuous task, completing this task will unlock subsequent tasks in this plot. If this task is missed, all rewards for this plot will be skipped]

That can't be!

Zhen Yuanzi had given face to the Enforcement Hall after all, having attended the opening ceremony. How could Chu Hao turn a blind eye?

Really, am I that kind of person?

Chu Hao was no longer sleepy!

Although he knew that the Western Heavens wanted to arrange for Zhen Yuanzi, Chu Hao was determined to manage this muddy water, for justice!

Chu Hao immediately slapped his thigh.

"Two celestial boys, come out quickly, we won't eat children today!"

"We won't disturb you tonight, we'll just sleep here!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue had been scared away just now, but they still remembered Zhen Yuanzi's instructions, and even though they were terrified, they could only come out.

Qingfeng poked his head out.

"Really not eating children?"

Chu Hao twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Qingfeng, who is over a thousand years old and has become a demon, can't be eaten."

Qingfeng and Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The rumors they had heard on weekdays were too terrifying, especially in the past five hundred years. All the big news they had heard was caused by Chu Hao.

They didn't even dare to recall it, they only knew that everything that came to mind was a terrifying act of violence.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were uneasy, but they still obediently arranged a place for everyone to rest and provided some food.

"Please wait a moment."

Qingfeng and Mingyue were afraid that the Ginseng Fruit Tree would be noticed, so while the Journey to the West team was eating, they quietly ran to the Ginseng Fruit Tree, climbed up the tree, used golden strikers to knock off the fruits, and took two Ginseng Fruits back.

And they were both very small, looking underdeveloped.

Mingyue felt sorry for them.

"That's enough, give it to that monk, that's enough. This kind of immortal fruit is a blessing for mortals to see!"

However, when Qingfeng and Mingyue returned to the hall, they didn't know that their worldview was about to be shattered.
