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

#1843 - The Merit Flower Buddha

The meaning of "Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha" was very clear. Since the Green Lion and White Elephant were the mounts of Manjushri and Samantabhadra, even if they made mistakes, they should be handed over to their masters for disposal.

However, Chu Hao retorted, "Meritorious Virtue Buddha, that's not right. As everyone knows, when Buddha descended upon Lion Camel Ridge, the Green Lion and White Elephant publicly severed their relationship with him. That's precisely why I captured them, because my Law Enforcement Hall acts fairly."

Upon hearing this, Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha almost rolled his eyes.

I'd believe you if pigs could fly.

After all, not long ago, his own mount had been captured, and he had spent a great price to redeem it.

However, Chu Hao's statement that the Green Lion and White Elephant had broken with their masters was true, as so many people had witnessed it, even the Buddha himself was present.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Chu Hao's words.

The Jade Emperor also chimed in, "Since that's the case, those two evil beasts have violated the Heavenly Law and should indeed be dealt with by the Law Enforcement Hall."

Seeing this, Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha knew that it was impossible to take the Green Lion and White Elephant away, so he said, "Celestial Venerable, but the Green Lion and White Elephant have embezzled many treasures from my Mount Meru. I implore the Prison God to hand them over."

He didn't care about the lives of the Green Lion and White Elephant. After all, the power under their command would ultimately fall into Lion Camel Ridge. The key was the large pile of treasures, especially since Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha had also paid out of his own pocket, which was like losing both his wife and his army.

But Chu Hao said, "Meritorious Virtue Buddha, that's not right. Since the Green Lion and White Elephant have violated the Heavenly Law, their treasures are also spoils of war, which I must investigate thoroughly."

"Prison God, I can guarantee that those are all treasures of Mount Meru," Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha was afraid of Chu Hao and directly began to guarantee with his personality.

But Chu Hao didn't buy it. He shook his head and said, "Meritorious Virtue Buddha, I am the Prison God of Law Enforcement in the Three Realms, and I must be fair in my dealings. I must investigate this matter thoroughly and cannot rely solely on one-sided statements."

The meaning of these words was very clear: giving them to you is impossible. Anyway, I'll just delay, delay until everyone forgets about this matter, and those things will belong to me.

Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha knew Chu Hao's little thoughts, so he had to ask the Jade Emperor for help, "Celestial Venerable, what do you think?"

Unfortunately, the Jade Emperor and Chu Hao were on the same side, so no matter what he said, the Jade Emperor stood on Chu Hao's side.

As a result, the two sides were deadlocked in the Hall of Universal Brightness for a long time, and ultimately no result was discussed. Chu Hao even directly used the excuse of interrogating the Green Lion and White Elephant and took the lead in leaving.

With Chu Hao gone, everything lost its meaning.

Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha had to go back and report the matter to Buddha.

On the other side, after Chu Hao returned to the Law Enforcement Hall, he saw the Green Lion and White Elephant and the treasures piled up like a mountain in front of them.

"Not bad," Chu Hao showed a satisfied expression.

The other subordinates of the Law Enforcement Hall also gathered around. Although the grade of these treasures was not high, so many of them were still a considerable price.

"It's all thanks to the master's good teaching," the Green Lion and White Elephant said, touching their heads.

"Not bad, not bad. In the future, you guys will stay here first and don't go out for the time being, otherwise I won't be able to protect you," Chu Hao said.

Now Mount Meru couldn't wait to flay and bone these two demons. If they swaggered through the city again, even the Jade Emperor might not be able to protect them.

"Understood, Master, but what about my third brother?" the Green Lion asked.

"Don't worry, your three brothers will be reunited soon," Chu Hao said confidently.

Mount Meru, Great Thunderclap Temple.

When Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha told Tathagata what had happened in the Heavenly Court, it aroused the wrath of all the Buddhas.

"What is Chu Hao relying on?"

"It's clearly the treasures of my Mount Meru, why can't we get them back?"

"What is the Jade Emperor favoring? Isn't this very obvious? Why is he delaying?"

"Conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy of the Heavenly Court, just to suppress my Buddhist sect."

… …

Countless discussions rose and fell. Obviously, all the Buddhas were angered by this move, especially the Jade Emperor's blatant favoritism, and Chu Hao's inaction.

If it was said that Chu Hao had been demanding treasures from the Western Paradise, but each time there was a reason, and the Western Paradise had no choice but to do so.

Then this time, Chu Hao completely robbed Mount Meru's treasures.

After all, they had reason to suspect that everything was planned by Chu Hao.

Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it.

The Buddhas also had tempers, and they clamored to make Chu Hao look good.

It was just that at this time, they obviously did not realize that the current Chu Hao was capable of fighting against Tathagata's Palm Buddha Country.

As the Tathagata who personally felt Chu Hao's power, he saw this scene, said nothing, and let them argue.

It was not until the quarrel stopped that he slowly opened his mouth: "This matter is due to my Mount Meru's poor consideration."

"Isn't that Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird still with the people of the Law Enforcement Hall? We can let him bring the demons, resources, and those people from Lion Camel Ridge back to Mount Meru, so that at least the losses can be minimized," Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha said.

These words made Tathagata very satisfied, but after all, he had made a mistake, so Tathagata also said: "This matter must be resolved quickly. As for Meritous Virtue Buddha, you have made a mistake after all. This seat will punish you to face the wall for three hundred years."

"I respectfully obey the decree," Namo Meritous Virtue Buddha said.

Looking at this Buddha, Tathagata was also extremely disappointed.

He also thought that this plan could make Mount Meru a big profit, and incidentally absorb the combat power of Lion Camel Ridge, but he did not expect that he would lose a lot of treasures instead.

Therefore, the top priority was to resolve the matter of Lion Camel Ridge.

"Venerable Guanyin, you can go to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples, and also ask clearly why Sun Wukong and Pig Bajie want to help those two evil beasts," Tathagata said.

This matter was indeed a bit strange. If they did not ask clearly, thinking about it, they might even suspect that they were also colluding with Chu Hao.

After all, as everyone knew, their relationship with Chu Hao was very good. If this was the case, then Chu Hao's plot would be a bit terrifying.

Guanyin took the order and left, and Tathagata also dismissed the Buddhas.

At the same time, at the foot of Mount Meru, the punished Water Heaven Buddha was sitting cross-legged in the room of the temple.

Crack—

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a Buddha walked in.

Water Heaven Buddha took a closer look and saw that it was actually Hundred Rivers Buddha. A smile flashed across his heart. He had finally waited for the people of the Demonic Path. It was not in vain that he had been saying everywhere that he was dissatisfied with Buddha during this time.
