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

#671 - In front of the Quicksand River, Master, how about you float over?

Great King Yellow Wind originally wanted to keep Chu Hao for a meal, but he was afraid of not getting a number at the Law Enforcement Hall, so he hurried to the Heavenly Court.

Tang Seng and his three disciples tried their best to persuade Chu Hao to stay in the team and not go out fishing again.

Chu Hao thought about it and didn't refuse.

In fact, Chu Hao planned to go to Kunlun Mountain first, as the Yellow Apricot Plum of his hometown was already ripe.

However, Chu Hao suddenly thought of a nightmarish problem.

The three sisters were still there. Chu Hao had been lacking exercise recently, and even climbing stairs was difficult for him. If he went there, his old waist probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

He should wait until after the Sha Monk tribulation before going. Anyway, there was still plenty of time.

Chu Hao grabbed two handfuls of wolfberries and two handfuls of sheep kidneys, eating them along the way.

Everything was to defend a man's dignity!

Knowing that Chu Hao would continue to slack off in the Journey to the West team for the next two days, Tang Sanzang was very happy!

With Chu Hao protecting him, no demons, ghosts, Buddhas, or Bodhisattvas could harm him!

Tang Sanzang also made up his mind not to ride a horse.

The flowery world is dazzling, don't show off if you don't have the strength.

It was too easy for Tang Sanzang to be captured by monsters while riding a horse. Without enough strength, Tang Sanzang didn't dare to put himself in danger again.

Since the Yellow Wind Ridge incident, Tang Sanzang was even more afraid to ride a horse. He preferred to lead the horse and carry the baggage himself, calling it exercise.

Tang Sanzang also hoped that he could become stronger and no longer burden his disciples.

At Yellow Wind Ridge, if it weren't for Tang Sanzang's usual exercise, plus a little help from the kasaya he wore, Tang Sanzang probably wouldn't have made it through that tribulation.

Tang Sanzang even discovered that he loved the excitement of beating up those little monsters, so he wore the kasaya tightly every day.

He liked the feeling of powerful strength after his clothes exploded.

Along the way, they didn't encounter many monsters.

Speaking of Tang Seng and his three disciples, after escaping the disaster,

After a few days, they passed through the eight hundred miles of Yellow Wind Ridge and entered a flat land heading west.

Time passed quickly, from summer to autumn, they saw some cicadas chirping among the withered willows, and the great fire flowed westward.

As they were walking, they saw a great river with raging waves.

Chu Hao raised his eyebrows. They had finally arrived at the Flowing Sand River!

In the sky, Guanyin Bodhisattva, seeing the existence of the Flowing Sand River, was overjoyed!

Success was today!

As long as today passed, the four members of the Journey to the West would be complete, and the merit would be great!

Guanyin Bodhisattva was originally cheering, but seeing the Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva flying over behind her, Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly.

It was fine for the Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang to come, but why did Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Amitabha's attendant, also come?

Guanyin Bodhisattva had never seen this situation before.

The Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang took the initiative to put his hands together in salute,

"Bodhisattva, this humble monk greets you."

Guanyin Bodhisattva returned the greeting, but gave the Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang a look, asking him to explain the situation with Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

Before the Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang could speak, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva said indifferently:

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, this humble monk greets you."

"The reason is not easy to explain in detail, so to make a long story short, the World Honored One Tathagata calculated that there might be a demon causing trouble in this tribulation, so he specifically ordered me and the Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang to help."

Guanyin Bodhisattva had always been a ruthless person. Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva wanted to distinguish between superiors and inferiors as soon as he arrived, which meant that he didn't take her seriously?

Immediately, Guanyin Bodhisattva said coldly:

"Since the Tathagata Buddha has called you to help me, you should obey my command. The variables in the Journey to the West are extremely large, and one wrong step will lead to many wrong steps."

"If you do not obey the dispatch, otherwise, if you mess up the great tribulation of the Journey to the West, it will not be a matter of harmony, but a major event concerning the survival of our Western Paradise!"

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva retorted sharply, "Is that so? What could possibly go wrong with such a simple task?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said indifferently, "Lingshan has almost been destroyed several times, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was present every time, but dared not say a word. I really don't know what face you have to say this."

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva's face turned cold, and he cursed Guanyin Bodhisattva in his heart for being arrogant and rude, but he didn't entangle himself any further.

The Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang smiled bitterly. He was in the most awkward situation now.

The identities of the two Bodhisattvas were higher than his, and he couldn't say a word when they quarreled.

The Subduing Three Worlds Mingwang quickly said:

"Two Bodhisattvas, the Flowing Sand River is below. In any case, as long as we pass this tribulation, the four members of the Journey to the West will naturally gather. When the merit descends from the heavens, please give priority to the great cause of the Journey to the West."

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva snorted coldly, noncommittal.

A trace of coldness flashed in Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes, but her emotions were not revealed.

Although Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva followed Amitabha Buddha and seemed to have a higher status,

Guanyin Bodhisattva had also experienced the Conferred Gods Tribulation and was a ruthless character who had emerged from the fighting between the two sects. Guanyin Bodhisattva was not very afraid of this Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

The two Bodhisattvas and one Mingwang stood on the clouds, looking down.

At this moment, Chu Hao raised his head and glanced up as if sensing something, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Why was the Western Paradise so ignorant of life and death? Were they here to deliver food again?

Chu Hao immediately got up and said to Tang Sanzang and the others:

"Guys, I have something to leave for a while, you continue."

Naturally, Chu Hao didn't want people to watch him like a monkey show, so he left on his own and flew into the sky.

Seeing Chu Hao leave, Tang Sanzang became nervous!

Seeing the great river ahead, Tang Sanzang hurriedly called out:

"Disciple, look at the wide water ahead, but I don't see any boats. Where do we cross from?"

Pig Bajie saw it and lazily replied:

"It is indeed a raging wave, and there is no boat to cross."

"But it doesn't matter, just jump over!"

Pig Bajie's heart of the God of War was possessed, leaping thousands of miles. This Flowing Sand River was not that difficult.

The traveler jumped into the air, looked with his hand shading his eyes, and smiled at Tang Sanzang:

"Master, to be honest, you are definitely not going to make it."

"If it were me, I could cross this river by just twisting my waist; if it were you, you definitely couldn't swim across, but you could float across as a corpse after you die."

Tang Sanzang twitched the corners of his mouth, looking helpless,

"Why do you always want me to die? This river is boundless, how long is it? If it really doesn't work, let's be lazy and fly over?"

The traveler said: "It is eight hundred miles across."

Pig Bajie raised the bar a little,

"Is that accurate? One meter more or one meter less is not allowed."

Sun Wukong picked up the stick,

"Come, come, come, bring your pig head over here, and I'll add a dish for you, pork head meat!"

Pig Bajie quickly shrank back, smiling sheepishly, "Just kidding, just kidding."

Tang Sanzang was a little egg-ache, pacing back and forth,

"So far? Then how do we cross? We can't really swim across, can we?"
