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

#1832 - The face-slapping Namo Gongdehua Buddha

Seeing the table full of meat dishes, Buddha Baoguang felt extremely awkward.

After all, as Buddhist disciples, they don't touch such food.

Although he doesn't need to eat, this was clearly a deliberate show of power. Seeing the other immortals in the hall feasting, Buddha Baoguang finally couldn't bear it and said in a deep voice, "Prison God, with a great enemy at hand, such laxity is not good."

"I'm not being lax. Didn't you say you wanted to investigate thoroughly? I'm waiting for your people to return," Chu Hao said, raising his teacup and taking a sip of the spiritual tea.

After speaking, he added, "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that you Buddhist disciples don't eat this kind of thing, but we only prepared this kind of thing."

This was somewhat redundant, and the attitude was very clear: to treat Buddhist disciples differently.

Buddha Baoguang took a deep breath, feeling that there was no need to waste words on this matter, so he said seriously, "The people I sent out have not returned yet, and are probably ambushed by that Maitreya Buddha. Please, Prison God, continue to send people."

"What? Not back yet? Could they have deserted?" Chu Hao said indifferently.

"Impossible, my Buddhist disciples would not do such a thing," Buddha Baoguang immediately retorted.

Chu Hao curled his lips and suddenly said, "I told you long ago that it wouldn't be good to rush over with a large army. You insisted on investigating. Now, haven't we lost five of my great generals for no reason? If it affects the victory, you will be responsible, Buddha Baoguang."

His words crashed down on Buddha Baoguang like a barrage, not giving him a chance to react. His words were full of reprimand.

Buddha Baoguang was very helpless, thinking that wasn't it your Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall who proposed it first?

Thinking this, Chu Hao was, after all, the nominal leader, and he had no choice but to admit his mistake, "This matter was not well considered by me, but as your Deputy Hall Master said, the investigation still needs to continue."

Buddha Baoguang planned to bring in Nezha, so that if blame were to be assigned, Chu Hao should have nothing to say.

But at this time, Nezha said, "I just made a suggestion. Actually, after thinking about it, I still feel it's inappropriate."

Hearing this, Buddha Baoguang's face darkened on the spot.

Don't stab me in the back like that!

"So, let's do as I said," Chu Hao ordered.

Buddha Baoguang suddenly lost his confidence and could only ask, "Then, should I retrieve the five people I sent out earlier?"

"Yes, so you go and find out first. After you find out, we'll set off," Chu Hao immediately said.

Hearing these words, Buddha Baoguang suddenly wanted to slap himself.

Why did I have to bring this up?

So, in the end, Buddha Baoguang took on the responsibility of finding the five people again, while the immortals of the Heavenly Court were still enjoying themselves in that magnificent palace.

… …

While Lingshan was very troubled by the Demon Subduing Army, Buddha Namoguna Merit also looked annoyed near Lion Camel Ridge.

He first spent a great price to finally find the whereabouts of the White Elephant, but he didn't expect that this guy said he was going to attack Lion Camel Ridge, but had already run away with some of the demons.

He intercepted him on the way.

As soon as he saw the White Elephant, Buddha Namoguna Merit's face turned livid: "White Elephant, where are you going?"

"Buddha, I know that I am no match, and I plan to find a stable place to settle down, and then take back Lion Camel Ridge in the future," White Elephant said very seriously.

However, Buddha Namoguna Merit didn't believe these words.

He said in a deep voice: "You quickly go back and attack Lion Camel Ridge with that Green Lion."

The White Elephant shook his head violently: "Buddha, you should know the power of the Golden Winged Great Peng, we have already failed once, there is no chance."

It looked very decadent, without the will to continue fighting at all, more like a king who only wanted to survive.

"This time Lingshan can support you," Buddha Namoguna Merit said angrily.

If the White Elephant really left, then Lingshan's plan would be ruined, and he would be punished by the Tathagata Buddha.

Hearing this, the White Elephant's desperate eyes shone with a glimmer of light, and he asked: "I wonder if the Buddha is going to take action?"

Buddha Namoguna Merit shook his head: "I can subsidize you with a batch of treasures to greatly increase the combat power of your subordinates."

However, after saying this, the White Elephant's attitude and response were exactly the same as the Green Lion's, all using his subordinates as an excuse, implying that Lingshan should increase its bargaining chips.

This made Buddha Namoguna Merit suspect that these two brothers had colluded and were acting here.

However, this time, the White Elephant gave another reason.

"Lingshan can only take out so many treasures," Buddha Namoguna Merit was still unwilling to let go.

The White Elephant had a rogue expression: "Then Buddha, even if we really take action, we will definitely not be the opponent of the Golden Winged Great Peng. Anyway, we will die. Why don't you kill me now, Buddha?"

Hearing these somewhat unreasonable words, Buddha Namoguna Merit's face was very ugly, and he really wanted to slap this guy to death.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he finally let go: "I can also provide you with two Innate Spiritual Treasures."

Hearing this, the White Elephant's eyes lit up: "Buddha, I just reached the key to breakthrough, why don't you provide tens of thousands of merits and virtues of divine water, and I will have a better chance of winning."

Buddha Namoguna Merit didn't expect the other party to be so greedy.

He put on a straight face, his eyes deep.

I endure, I endure again!

In the end, he still agreed to the White Elephant.

"When you go back with me later, you must not argue with the Green Lion again, and solve the matter of Lion Camel Ridge first," Buddha Namoguna Merit said.

"Okay," the White Elephant took so many good things and showed a bright smile on his face.

A look of heartache flashed in Buddha Namoguna Merit's eyes. You must know that the two acquired spiritual treasures and the merits and virtues of divine water were all his own. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel bad about taking them out this time.

Having persuaded the White Elephant, the plan was one-third successful. Next, he had to get the Green Lion to participate in the war.

He had already made up his mind that he would never let go on the Green Lion's side.

Buddha Namoguna Merit looked serious, looking into the distance, his eyes like torches.

Even if he died today, he would die outside, and he could never agree to the Green Lion's request again.

With this thought in mind, he and the White Elephant left this place.

It's just that perhaps Buddha Namoguna Merit didn't even think about what would greet him.
