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

#1654 - Did people from the Tang Dynasty come to the Western Regions to convert people?

Even Chu Hao felt that he himself would have difficulty possessing such high awareness. This Imperial Advisor quoted classics and historical references effortlessly, truly a remarkable person!

But… this is unreasonable.

This is above the Western Heaven Buddhist land, how could this Imperial Advisor have learned such knowledge? This is not Western Regions at all!

Chu Hao looked at the Imperial Advisor.

The Imperial Advisor also felt Chu Hao's gaze and took the initiative to bow to Chu Hao, and surprisingly, with Taoist etiquette.

Chu Hao was stunned for a moment.

"You, recognize me?"

Chu Hao felt a little absurd. He knew that he had not been a big brother in the human world for many years, let alone in this closed Western Regions.

However, the Imperial Advisor smiled faintly,

"Immortal Lord has unparalleled merit and virtue in saving the world. How could this humble Taoist not recognize you?"

Chu Hao was stunned, a humble Taoist?

This Imperial Advisor was indeed not from this Western Region. After all, so far, only the land of the Great Tang could nurture Taoists.

But, why would a Taoist from the Great Tang appear here?

The Imperial Advisor seemed to see the doubt in Chu Hao's eyes and respectfully said:

"When poor, one should benefit the world; when successful, one should cultivate oneself alone. My teacher underwent ninety-nine tribulations that year and was unwilling to ascend. Although the Great Tang is now peaceful, this humble Taoist knows that a great calamity is approaching, and no one can cultivate oneself alone.

The internal troubles of the Great Tang have been eliminated, but disaster arises in the Western Regions. Therefore, this humble Taoist has come from thousands of miles away to save those with fate!"

Save those with fate?!

Chu Hao was dumbfounded. Why did this sound so familiar?

A double reversal!

Now, an Eastern Taoist has come to save the people of the Western Regions… No, it seems he is not here to save three or five people, he is here to save the entire nation!

Chu Hao had a dazed expression.

How much has happened in the human world in the past few years? Why does it seem like I have opened some strange side quest?

Speaking of which, I seem to vaguely remember that there was indeed an old Taoist who had undergone ninety-nine tribulations and guarded China for thousands of years.

So, all of this was destined.

The so-called destiny.

Chu Hao coughed lightly.

"This Imperial Advisor, I would like to ask an additional question. In this Western Region, besides you, are there no other Taoists saving people?"

However, the Imperial Advisor then continued:

"However, this humble Taoist has heard that there is an old Confucian scholar, known as the Dean, who also seems to be walking in this Western Region, and he is often accompanied by a strange Buddha.

That Buddha, the Buddha he recites, is not Amitabha, but some Free Buddha, Democratic Buddha…"

Chu Hao was stunned once again. It turned out that so many changes had already taken place in this Western Region unknowingly!

Heaven have mercy, Chu Hao has only been in this human world for a few years, how could the changes be so great?

Moreover, even the territory of the Great Tang no longer needs their help to guard it. All of a sudden, they are all pouring over here to the Western Regions.

This wave is truly a cultural export, learning the enemy's strengths to control the enemy, using salvation to stop salvation!

Chu Hao felt that if he went further, he would probably encounter even more outrageous things, but this was not something Chu Hao should consider now.

Chu Hao is now only thinking about how to deal with the matter of this pagoda.

Chu Hao's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

"Imperial Advisor, in your opinion, how do you plan to deal with the theft of the pagoda treasure?"

The Imperial Advisor sighed and said:

"Just now, the Holy Monk also said very clearly that the demon dragon knew the pagoda's treasures were precious, and colluded with the Dragon King to commit theft, first causing a rain of blood, and then stealing the relics.

Seeing them now illuminating the Dragon Palace, making the dark night as bright as day. The princess also stole the Queen Mother's Ganoderma lucidum, and nourished the treasures in the pool.

If it were just ordinary treasures, it would be fine, but the relics are enshrined on the pagoda, absorbing the power of the Jisaiguo's vows for countless years.

And that Ganoderma lucidum, after being nourished in that Bibo Pool for a while, is no longer an ordinary treasure, it seems to have the power of good fortune, even the pagoda's luck has been improved a lot."

Chu Hao raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect there to be such a thing. It seemed that this was the means by which the Western Heaven absorbed the power of vows and merit from Jisaiguo.

It's just that, in other places, the power of vows and merit directly goes to the pool of merit, but here, because of the so-called Nine-Headed Worm, it seems that the merit has been transferred to the relics.

However, this also basically confirms that the relationship between the Nine-Headed Worm and the Western Heaven is unusual.

Chu Hao pondered in his heart, what should he do?

The King said respectfully to the Imperial Advisor:

"Imperial Advisor, now that the Immortal Lord and many Holy Monks are helping, no matter how you deal with it, please do it boldly!"

For some reason, the King's words seemed to be guiding something, as if he really wanted the Imperial Advisor to quickly expel all the monks in the country.

The Imperial Advisor smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. If it were before, this humble Taoist would only suggest that Your Majesty take back the treasures and place them back on the pagoda to restore the past.

However, doing so would allow those monks to take the opportunity to exploit it again, and continue to swindle and deceive with the power of those treasures, which is extremely detrimental to my Jisaiguo.

If it were before, this humble Taoist could only let it be and proceed gradually, but… today, the Immortal Lord has appeared, this is the destiny of Jisaiguo."

Chu Hao was stunned for a moment, pointing at himself,

"Me? What, are you planning to plot against me? Let me make it clear first, I will not work for Jisaiguo, nor do I intend to work for the Western Heaven."

The Imperial Advisor shook his head.

"Immortal Lord, you have misunderstood. Immortal Lord has unparalleled merit, who would dare to command the Immortal Lord?

It's just that I have long heard that the Immortal Lord has a benevolent heart and holy virtue, saving the people from fire and water. Previously, countries such as Chechi and the Women's Kingdom were blessed by the Immortal Lord and all broke away from the Western Heaven's orthodoxy!

Now that the Immortal Lord has descended, please save the living beings of Jisaiguo from fire and water, and deliver the common people from purgatory!"

The Imperial Advisor's expression was full of expectation and respect.

Even the King stood up and bowed respectfully to Chu Hao.

"Please, Immortal Lord, save my Jisaiguo, I… I am grateful beyond words, and will follow the Immortal Lord's lead in the future!"

Even a dignified king was so respectfully requesting Chu Hao.

However, Chu Hao's face was full of helplessness.

"Why do you all make it sound like I am the kind of person who is constantly seizing the Western Heaven's control over the Western Region? How do I have any means to save Jisaiguo?"

"Moreover, now it's just that the treasures have been stolen, at most, just take them back, can I make Jisaiguo independent for you?

Not to mention how much vow power it takes to break free from the Western Heaven's control in the Western Region, but even if you break free, where will your direction be?"

Chu Hao himself felt a headache, what can I do?

[Of course, save him!]
