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

#1726 - Maitreya Buddha's conditions, the lion's mouth is wide open

Stowing away the twenty demon cores, Chu Hao stood up with joy and said to Tathagata, "Tathagata, I do things for money, but if I can't beat the opponent, don't blame me!"

Tathagata's face changed, and he was about to say something, but Chu Hao turned into a stream of light and left.

"Buddha, he...should be able to subdue that demonic path, right?" Guanyin said awkwardly.

"Hopefully." Tathagata was also helpless.

At this time, Chu Hao used his great supernatural power and had already appeared in the sky above the Small Thunderclap Temple.

He was thinking about what reason to use to fool them and pocket the twenty demon cores.

After all, although Tathagata didn't come in person, his eyes and ears were everywhere, and he must have sent someone to observe him in secret, so he couldn't act too obviously.

Just then, he suddenly saw the gate of the Small Thunderclap Temple open, and a demon king walked out.

"Prison God Chu Hao, my king invites you in for tea," the demon king shouted into the air.

"Drink tea? What is this Maitreya Buddha up to again?" Chu Hao thought.

But since the other party had said so, he naturally couldn't show weakness, and directly came to the gate of the Small Thunderclap Temple, and then walked in past the demon king.

"You said Chu Hao entered the Small Thunderclap Temple?" On the other side, Tathagata immediately received the news.

"That's right, that Chu Hao should really be looking for Maitreya Buddha to release people,"谛听 replied.

"That's great. Although we lost twenty demon cores, if we can catch that demonic path and end this calamity, it's not a loss," Tathagata finally felt relieved.

At this moment, Chu Hao had already arrived in front of the Small Thunderclap Temple, and was seeing Maitreya Buddha sitting cross-legged on a futon, with two cups of hot tea placed on the table in front of him.

"You wouldn't be trying to poison me, would you?" Chu Hao sat down generously in front of Maitreya Buddha and said.

"Prison God is joking. Besides, Prison God is so powerful, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare to do it," Maitreya Buddha said with a smile.

"Yes, so I didn't kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Today, I'll do a favor and return them to you, Prison God," Maitreya Buddha still maintained his smile.

"Oh? The sun is rising in the west? Aren't you afraid that if you lose Tang Sanzang and his disciples, Tathagata will be the first to take you down?" Chu Hao asked doubtfully.

Maitreya Buddha smiled and shook his head, and continued, "That old fellow Tathagata is extremely cautious, and besides, I have eighteen Arhats and a group of Buddhas as bargaining chips in my hand."

Chu Hao stared at his smiling face and asked, "Speak, what are the conditions?"

"There are naturally conditions," Maitreya Buddha said with a smile.

As he said that, he waved his hand and used his great supernatural power to seal off the entire Small Thunderclap Temple, so that even Tathagata would not know what was happening inside, and no one would know their conversation.

...

The谛听 responsible for monitoring had been paying attention to the Small Thunderclap Temple, and it wasn't until the next day that he saw Chu Hao appear at the door.

At this moment, Chu Hao looked complex, looked back at Maitreya Buddha inside, and sighed, "Alas, Medicine Buddha has already died for his beliefs, why do you have to be like this?"

Maitreya Buddha was silent, but his eyes were far-reaching, looking into the distance, with a smile still on his face.

"Forget it, I agree to your conditions, then you have to help me with a favor," Chu Hao said.

"I understand what you mean," Maitreya Buddha nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he directly kicked out, heavily kicking Chu Hao.

At the moment when that kick was about to land, Chu Hao suddenly flew backwards, looking very embarrassed.

"Good you demonic path, you actually used such despicable means," Chu Hao pretended to be angry, and then left without looking back.

Mount Ling, Great Thunderclap Temple.

Tathagata's face sank when he heard谛听's report.

Just then, Chu Hao came back.

"Tathagata, sorry, that Maitreya Buddha is really too hateful. He actually pretended to invite me for tea, and then attacked me while I was unprepared, which led to not rescuing Tang Sanzang and his disciples," Chu Hao said with a helpless expression.

Tathagata's eyes were like torches, staring at Chu Hao, as if he wanted to see through him.

But Chu Hao was a person who had seen the world. Even when stared at like this, he was still watertight and completely unhurried.

"Prison God, you took my twenty demon cores," Guanyin reminded from the side.

"There's no way to do that. Who knew that the defeated general would be so insidious? I'm telling you, you must pay attention to be careful in the future," Chu Hao said, and then planned to walk out.

"Chu Hao," Tathagata's voice turned cold and stopped him.

"Yes, what instructions do you have?" Chu Hao responded with a smile.

"Since you didn't rescue the people, then hand over the twenty demon cores," Tathagata's voice sank.

"Demon cores? That thing was given to me by you, there's no reason to return it," Chu Hao had a matter-of-course expression.

This time, Tathagata was so angry that he was half-dead.

He had lost both his wife and his army, and actually believed this guy.

But right now, the matter of the Future Buddha had already made him overwhelmed. If he were to attack this guy Chu Hao, then the Journey to the West plan formulated by the saints would be completely aborted.

His eyes stared at Chu Hao, almost wanting to swallow him alive.

Seeing this, Chu Hao changed the subject and suddenly said, "Actually, it's not that I can't rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples. After all, I won't be fooled this time."

As soon as these words came out, Tathagata's face softened a lot.

"Then please Prison God take action again," Guanyin immediately followed the trend.

"Taking action is possible, but the journey is far away, alas, the consumption is a bit big," Chu Hao shook his head.

What kind of consumption is a bit big, you are a god, and you don't need to walk, what does this mean!

Tathagata and the Buddhas all had dark faces.

But Guanyin understood what Chu Hao meant, and she transmitted a voice to Tathagata, "Buddha, it seems that this Chu Hao wants more benefits."

"Didn't we just give it to him?" Tathagata was furious.

"This, it's probably not enough," Guanyin said helplessly.

Tathagata let out a turbid breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Chu Hao, "What else do you want?"

"I don't want anything, just one million merits of divine water will do," Chu Hao said with a smile.

One million? Who do you think I am? A rich second generation? Can I just take out one million for you? Do I, the Lord of the West, still need face?

Tathagata finally couldn't suppress his anger and directly shouted, "Chu Hao, you're going too far, impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. How about this, if I can't rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples, I'll refund the full amount, and I'll also let you dispose of me," Chu Hao said.
