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

#1886 - A bystander is no different from a murderer

Chu Hao's words calmed the restless villagers, while the burly man they had encountered at the beginning had already taken his luggage next to the village chief, as if protecting his belongings.

Thinking that the luggage was all here, the village chief believed Chu Hao's words a little more.

He looked at the man's appearance and asked, "Are you also a monk?"

The village chief immediately said to the villagers, "Alright, alright, you all go out first."

The villagers left contentedly, and even the burly man left with his luggage.

Clearly, they were afraid that the three would go back on their word, and directly planned to hide the luggage first.

Chu Hao coldly watched the villagers leave.

And when the room was empty again, a smile appeared on the village chief's face: "Then please, eminent monks, take action."

"Hmph." Sun Wukong snorted coldly and slammed the door and left.

Tang Seng also walked out with a helpless expression.

As soon as he went out, Sun Wukong complained to Chu Hao: "Brother Chu Hao, why did you agree to these guys? A bunch of ungrateful bastards, it would be better to just burn them all down like last time."

He was talking about what happened in Tuoluozhuang last time.

That time, the demonized Tang Seng directly went on a killing spree, and even Guanyin couldn't stop him.

Afterwards, nothing happened.

Although these guys haven't done anything to kill or set fires, this act of moral kidnapping is really hateful.

To the point where Sun Wukong wanted to give them a few blows with his staff.

"That's right, they don't even give us tea or vegetarian meals. Aren't they just using us as tools?" Zhu Bajie was also full of anger.

If it weren't for the good food and drink, he wouldn't be so excited.

Now that he knew these guys were so stingy, he wouldn't have spoken up if he had known.

Moreover, they kept emphasizing burning incense and worshiping Buddha, but they weren't worshiping them. Wouldn't those incense offerings ultimately be enjoyed by the guys in Mount Ling?

As a result, they enjoyed it, and we were left with the dirty and tiring work. Who can stand that?

Tang Seng also shook his head and said, "I didn't expect these villagers to be so uneducated. Immortal, do you really want to help them?"

Seeing that Tang Seng and his disciples were all full of resentment, Chu Hao smiled slightly: "I think Wukong is right, we should just set them on fire."

Sun Wukong didn't expect his words to be recognized, and immediately said: "Okay, Old Sun will go and prepare now."

Tang Seng's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Now that he was not affected by demonic energy, the compassionate Tang Seng immediately stopped Sun Wukong: "Wukong, don't be impulsive. The other villagers are innocent."

After all, there were still some devout villagers on the road who bowed to them.

At this time, Chu Hao also followed up and said, "That's right, how can we do it? Wouldn't that give people something to talk about."

"Boss, you've said both the good and bad things." Zhu Bajie muttered to the side.

"Haha, what I mean is, we don't need to do it ourselves." Chu Hao didn't speak this time, but used telepathy to let them all hear.

After all, his plan was a bit extreme, so it was best not to let those two guys in the sky know.

Tang Seng and his disciples showed shocked expressions on their faces.

They suddenly realized what Chu Hao wanted to express.

But since Chu Hao was using telepathy, they also realized that something was wrong, so they didn't speak.

"Let's go, let's go outside the village to find that demon." Chu Hao said, and led everyone out of the village.

Behind them, the villagers were staring at them, naturally afraid that they would run away.

"Immortal, what exactly is this demon? Why is it covered in flames?" Tang Seng asked in confusion on the road.

Chu Hao explained: "Among the demons, there is a type of demon called the Flame Demon. Flame Demons are born in extremely fiery places. From birth, their whole body is flames, and the scorching high temperature is their means of attack."

"But I see that this Flame Demon seems to be only one." Tang Seng continued to ask.

"Of course, because he escaped from the Demon Clan." Chu Hao smiled slightly.

"Ah? Boss, why would it choose to escape? And isn't it affected by Karma Fire?" Zhu Bajie asked curiously.

"You blockhead, it was born from flames, how can it be affected by Karma Fire?" Sun Wukong said with a look of disdain.

"That's right, Flame Demons are a kind of chaotic and unintelligent demon. Its essence is actually a walking flame, it's just that the flame temperature is relatively high." Chu Hao nodded.

"No wonder this guy didn't attack Qinghua Village. It turns out he couldn't find the way." Zhu Bajie suddenly understood.

Chu Hao nodded: "Precisely because it is unintelligent, it inexplicably ran out. As for why it came here."

As he said that, he looked up at the sky and did not answer.

Tang Seng and his disciples immediately understood.

It seems that this was the work of the Western Heaven.

Come to think of it, it wasn't the Western Heaven that caused this Flame Demon to appear here for no reason.

However, this time, Tang Seng and his disciples didn't think that the Western Heaven was doing anything wrong.

They now couldn't wait for this Flame Demon to directly attack the village.

This was also what Chu Hao said before, letting others destroy the village.

At this time, Tang Seng's face clearly showed a hint of unbearable.

After all, directly burning down a village still had innocent people inside.

As a result, Chu Hao suddenly said telepathically at this time: "Holy Monk, don't worry, I have already investigated, there are no innocent villagers in that village."

"But." Tang Seng didn't continue.

He knew that Chu Hao would understand what he meant.

Chu Hao nodded: "Those villagers who bowed to us are not sincerely bowing either. They are bowing to the Buddhas of the Western Heaven. In the end, they are all a group of ignorant people."

Speaking of this, he continued: "Moreover, in order to solve this Flame Demon, the villagers once threw a group of outsiders to the Flame Demon, sacrificed them, thinking they could exchange it for peace."

This was naturally the news that Chu Hao learned through the Land God.

Tang Seng and his disciples were also shocked when they heard this.

They didn't expect this group of villagers to not only morally kidnap them, but also do something that harmed nature and reason.

"Really?" Tang Seng asked.

Chu Hao nodded: "That's right, when these guys saw that the Flame Demon didn't attack the village, they thought the sacrifice had worked. If you hadn't said you were an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty, we would probably have been sacrificed by them in the end."

The telepathic communication ended, and the unbearable expression on Tang Seng's face finally disappeared.

"What is the difference between coldly watching and killing?" His voice was slightly angry, which also represented that he agreed to this plan.

"Then boss, where are we going to find that Flame Demon?" Zhu Bajie asked.

"Don't worry, I already know where it is. You guys cooperate with me to put on a show when the time comes." Chu Hao smiled slightly, still using telepathy.
