Journey to the West: People are in heaven, working from nine to five

Chapter 999 All the previous temples have been destroyed by us
  After all, Tang Sanzang had experienced strong winds and waves, and he had also developed good eyesight, which was like the art of looking at qi.

When Tang Sanzang stepped into Baoxiang Kingdom, the sky was clear and clear, and what Tang Sanzang saw in his eyes was a terrifying aura like dark clouds pressing over the city.
  The whole sky of Baoxiang Kingdom seems to be shrouded in dark clouds, it’s not too scary!
  Tang Sanzang looked at it for a while and then put away the technique of looking at the Qi.

Tang Sanzang sighed,
  "It's obviously a place that worships heaven and Buddha, how could there be such strong resentment? It's unreasonable."

Zhu Bajie said helplessly:

"Master, what are you talking about? The streets here are full of temples. It looks like it should be a good place to eat fast and chant Buddha's name."

"What does it mean to be full of resentment? Master, are you crazy?"

Tang Sanzang stood in the middle of the street, looking towards the end of the long street. There was indescribable solemnity in his eyes, and he clasped his hands and said:

"Disciples, please follow your master and go to the largest temple here to pay homage."

"After I left the Tang Dynasty as my teacher, I vowed to burn incense in temples, worship Buddha when I saw him, and sweep pagodas when I met them."

Zhu Bajie had an awkward smile on his face,
  "What Master said is that we monks have always respected Buddha in this way,"

"No, the Guanyin Temple, the lair of Zen Master Wuchao, and the Boyue Cave...we have all given them up."

Sha Wujing sighed,

"Second senior brother, please stop talking. Master and the old man don't want to do this. They are all forced."

Zhu Bajie twitched the corner of his mouth, "Good junior brother, this is so sincere..."

Tang Sanzang saw Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looking like they were about to quarrel again, and said helplessly:

"Stop talking nonsense, go find a temple, burn incense and worship Buddha!"

A trace of scarlet flashed in Sha Wujing's eyes,
  "Master, please come this way! I have already seen the largest temple in the country!"

Sha Wujing has been paying attention to it for a long time. This time, he also wants to contribute his incense to the Buddhas!
  The three masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang walked directly towards the extremely brilliant and glittering temple at the end of the street.

Along the way, when people on the road saw Tang Sanzang and others, they were so frightened that they backed away, fearing that they would not be able to get away!
  However, at this time Tang Sanzang ignored the people around him, just clasped his hands and walked towards the end of the road very piously.

Passers-by were already shouting in terror,

"Come here, the monsters are coming. They are heading into the Guangming Temple!"

"Where did they come from and why are they so terrifying, especially the bald thug pretending to be a monk? Will he eat children?"

"Humph, what does the life and death of Guangming Temple have to do with us! Grandma is a bear, that beast | living in the temple, I didn't go to burn incense yesterday, he burned my house!"

"They have gone crazy. Even my father was taken to the Buddha last night and kowtowed a thousand times! My poor father has died in front of the Buddha!"

"No matter how scary the monsters are, they are not as scary as that of Guangming Chanyuan. The monsters at least come out in the open. Those beasts in Guangming Chanyuan all say they respect the Buddha's decree, but they do such bastard things!"

"Let's go and have a look. I want to see when this Guangming Temple will collapse! As long as those animals can die, I am willing to die with them!"

Although passers-by were very afraid of the three monster-like masters and disciples, their hatred for Guangming Chanyuan far outweighed their fear.

Even if they see such a terrifying monster, they are still willing to go and see the miserable situation of Guangming Zen Monastery.

As Tang Sanzang and his disciples walked, they heard more and more comments from passers-by. The three of them frowned.
  Zhu Bajie scratched his head and said:
  "Master, it seems that this Guangming Temple is also a good place to eat people without spitting out their bones." Tang Sanzang whispered: "Don't say anything inappropriate. Have you forgotten our Dharma? Don't try to scare the snake."

Zhu Bajie looked confused, "What Buddhism?"

Sha Wujing quietly poked Zhu Bajie on the waist and whispered:

"Have you forgotten? It is better to kill one evil person than to save thousands of ants. And I have done my duty to eradicate evil, so don't kill them all!"

"Second Senior Brother, Master is reminding us to act according to the opportunity and catch big fish!"

Zhu Bajie twitched the corner of his mouth, his head full of black lines, "Can't we just openly say that we want to go there for a bloodbath? Oh, it's really good for them to be so low-key."

Sha Wujing: "Don't worry, Second Senior Brother, they won't get any good. We have to keep a low profile."

Tang Sanzang coughed twice,
  "Here we are, disciples, knock on the door."

While the three masters and disciples were talking, they had already arrived in front of Guangming Chanyuan.

This so-called Zen courtyard does not have the atmosphere of a Zen courtyard at all. On the contrary, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an imperial palace!
  The entire Zen courtyard is gilded with gold everywhere. On the ground, you will occasionally see some exquisite colored glaze as decoration, which is a luxury!
  In the Zen courtyard, there is also a three-story tower for burning gold paper. The tower is also gilded. There is a strong flame in the tower, which seems to be very strong incense.

Zhu Bajie couldn't help but click his tongue and shake his head when he saw the appearance of this Buddhist temple.

"It is said that chanting sutras and reciting Buddha makes one rich and powerful, and rescuing suffering people and dying without intact corpses. These monks are burning incense and worshiping Buddha inside. How can they be so rich?"

"Is this considered a kind of merit?"

Zhu Bajie shook his head. His mentality was relatively peaceful, and he was not cynical or simply angry.
  But even Zhu Bajie, with such a kind heart, felt resentful to the world after seeing this luxurious and extravagant Guangming Zen Temple.

As they walked along the way just now, the people were all wearing coarse linen clothes. During the journey, they could see mortals with scars all over their bodies and faces of suffering from time to time.

Zhu Bajie only felt that there seemed to be a little problem with Baoxiang Kingdom.
  How glorious are the temples, but how miserable are the people?
  Zhu Bajie shook his head and reached out to knock on the door.
  "Hey, open the door, let's burn incense for you all!"

Zhu Bajie knocked on the door politely.
  However, there was no response inside the huge three-meter-high iron gate of Guangming Chanyuan, and some faint whispers could still be heard.
  "Quick! Get something to hold it back, don't let the three monsters outside come in!"

"Don't be afraid, the abbot has already gone to pray to the Buddha, and the Yaaksha god general will come down soon to subdue the demon, hold it back!"

"Are the monsters coming to attack our Zen monastery?"

"How dare they! What our Zen Temple enshrines is the Medicine Buddha, the Supreme World Honored One among the Buddhas of the three generations. These monsters will never dare to break in!"

"Sure enough, as the Buddha said a while ago, now that the world is in chaos and monsters are rising, these monsters are about to start causing chaos!"

Tang Sanzang, master and disciple all heard the commotion inside.

Tang Sanzang had a look of helplessness on his face,

"These people are violating the precepts by preventing me from burning incense and worshiping Buddha."

Zhu Bajie: "Understood!"
