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

However, what Tang Sanzang didn't expect was that his usually effective mantra had failed today.

The monk remained highly vigilant and wary, asking, "What proof do you have that you come from the Great Tang Dynasty of the East? We are located in the deep mountains and forests. We haven't seen many high monks, but we've seen plenty of demons. Are you perhaps a demon in disguise?"

Tang Sanzang was startled by these words.

He thought, 'I was suspecting you of being a demon, but you're turning the tables on me?'

But upon further reflection, this was, after all, their territory, so he couldn't afford to lose his temper. He could only say, "I have a passport. Allow me to go outside and find my disciple to retrieve it."

With that, he was about to leave.

"Hold on, don't move," the monk shouted.

As he spoke, a dozen or so monks suddenly appeared around Tang Sanzang.

Although these monks were dressed plainly, they all had cold eyes and stern expressions, and they were holding weapons in their hands, staring intently at Tang Sanzang.

"What is the meaning of this?" Tang Sanzang asked, puzzled.

"Who knows if you're a demon? You might run away later," one of the monks said.

Tang Sanzang looked bewildered.

He glanced at the cassock he was wearing, thinking, 'Can I look like a demon like this?'

Besides, didn't they consider him a monk?

I'm so obvious, you know.

The behavior of these dozen or so monks puzzled Tang Sanzang greatly.

But these people shouldn't be demons.

Demons wouldn't waste so much time talking.

So he had no choice but to say, "How about this, my disciples are outside. You can send someone to ask them, and you'll know."

"Okay, I'll go ask," a young monk said.

He quickly walked out and ran outside.

Ah!

But soon, a scream rang out, frightening the monks into gripping their weapons tightly.

The young monk ran back with a pale face, "You still say you're not a demon. There are three demons standing outside."

These words immediately caused a great change in the expressions of the monks, and they all moved towards Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang secretly thought something was amiss, not expecting that he had forgotten what his three disciples looked like.

He had no choice but to explain, "Although they are demons, they have all been subdued by me and are wholeheartedly devoted to good."

But these monks didn't seem to listen to him, and they kept approaching him with weapons in their hands.

This left Tang Sanzang feeling helpless.

Just then, Sun Wukong and the others walked in.

"Old Pig thought there was no one here," Pigsy said loudly, looking at the dilapidated temple.

The monks, seeing the sudden appearance of three ugly fellows, were immediately frightened and retreated in a hurry.

Tang Sanzang sighed and, taking advantage of the fact that these people were frightened away, he returned to the group and had Sandy take out the passport.

"This poor monk really comes from the Great Tang," he said, stepping forward and handing over the passport.

The monk in the temple who could read took it and looked at it, finally confirming his identity.

But even so, their attitude only improved slightly.

Then a monk led the group into the side room inside.

On the way, Pigsy, noticing the attitude of the monks, transmitted his voice to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, these monks are really strange. Master has already announced his name, but they are still so wary."

Normally, if Tang Sanzang were to announce his name to the monks in a temple, he would definitely be treated as an honored guest and well taken care of.

But although these monks had accepted them, their eyes and expressions clearly showed that they were wary.

As if worried that they were demons.

"Indeed, if it weren't for Old Sun's Fiery Eyes of Truth seeing that they are just ordinary people, I would have suspected that they were demons in disguise," Sun Wukong also looked puzzled.

What they didn't know was that as they walked towards the side room, a pair of eyes was secretly watching him.

The owner of these eyes was none other than Lady Earth Surge, who had infiltrated the temple and bewitched the monks.

When Tang Sanzang entered the temple, Lady Earth Surge noticed him.

However, the scene from the morning was still vivid in her mind. She was still apprehensive about Tang Sanzang and dared not attack him rashly.

Moreover, her target was not Tang Sanzang, but Pigsy.

Looking at the fat-headed, big-eared Pigsy, Lady Earth Surge, even if she had ten thousand reasons not to want to, was still helpless.

Especially with Chu Hao next to Pigsy, that handsome, compelling face was a stark contrast to him.

This made Lady Earth Surge even more unbalanced.

As night fell, Tang Sanzang and the others stayed in the side room. Although the monks in the temple had sent over vegetarian meals, the wariness on their faces had not disappeared.

Taking advantage of the late hour, Lady Earth Surge glanced at the night sky and still braced herself to walk towards the side room.

Outside the side room, she waited quietly.

It happened that at this time, a bright moon appeared in the night sky, and the shimmering white moonlight sprinkled down, shining on the window of the side room.

And there, a figure was reflected, it was Chu Hao.

Chu Hao was reading a book, and his perfect profile shone in the moonlight, his angular face and deep, star-like eyes made Lady Earth Surge's heart flutter.

If I could spend one night with him, I would have no regrets.

Lady Earth Surge thought inexplicably.

With this thought floating in her mind, her face flushed slightly, and she hesitated instantly, having originally decided to seduce Pigsy.

Especially when she thought of what the other party had said during the day.

She glanced at the night sky and walked silently to the window.

She secretly transmitted her voice to Chu Hao: "Immortal, can you come out for a moment?"

Chu Hao didn't expect Lady Earth Surge to come to him, and thought that the other party would act according to the original plan.

He glanced at her and nodded slightly.

Then he found a reason to leave the side room.

After leaving the room, he walked to the courtyard and shielded everything in this place, so as to prevent Guanyin and others from spying.

"Aren't you going to seduce Pigsy?" Chu Hao asked suspiciously.

Lady Earth Surge's face flushed slightly, and she said, "Immortal, I really can't bring myself to do it."

"Don't worry, that Pigsy will definitely fall into your trap," Chu Hao thought she was worried that Pigsy would see through her disguise.

Unfortunately, what Lady Earth Surge was worried about was Pigsy's appearance.

Especially with Chu Hao here.

Thinking of this, Lady Earth Surge suddenly said to Chu Hao: "Immortal, let me be your inside person."

"Aren't you already?" Chu Hao said.

"No, I mean, can I be with you like that?" Lady Earth Surge was a little embarrassed.

Rather than having a relationship with Pigsy, she decided to have a relationship with Chu Hao first.

That way, at least there would be no regrets.

Chu Hao understood what she meant and refused, "Don't think so much, you should complete your current task first."

"But do I have no other choice?" Lady Earth Surge asked.
