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

The White Water Vajra, having been enlightened by Guanyin, walked towards the bustling street. As he bumped into someone, he suddenly grabbed the person's shoulder.

The man was startled. He looked at the person with a surprised expression: "What do you want?"

In his view, the man in front of him was tall and burly, with disheveled hair, looking like a madman, making it hard not to be afraid.

The White Water Vajra stared at the man, his bright eyes like those of a wild beast, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you practice Buddhism?"

"Buddhism? Isn't the country suppressing Buddhism?" the man said.

"But do you want to practice Buddhism?" the White Water Vajra repeated.

The man just thought he had encountered a madman, but seeing that this guy didn't look like a monk, he could only brace himself and say, "I do, I do."

There was no way around it. If anyone encountered a madman grabbing you and asking questions, it was best to answer the questions they wanted to hear properly, otherwise you couldn't guarantee whether you would be beaten up by the other party in the next second.

Upon receiving this answer, the White Water Vajra's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his originally crazed face: "Good, practicing Buddhism is good."

Saying that, he suddenly took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it to the man: "This is the benefit of practicing Buddhism."

The man took the silver, staring at the scene with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Unfortunately, the White Water Vajra had already left, continuing to look for another person.

Coming back to his senses, the man looked around for the White Water Vajra, and immediately recognized the man in the white robe with disheveled hair in the crowd, and hurriedly followed him.

At this moment, the White Water Vajra was grabbing another man's shoulder: "Do you practice Buddhism?"

"Are you crazy?" That man was not as honest as the previous one, but rather a hot-tempered fellow.

So when the White Water Vajra grabbed his shoulder, he shouted and punched the other party.

But the White Water Vajra was, after all, a Vajra, a cultivator. Facing that punch, he suddenly felt a surge of anger, his head flashed, and after dodging, he gave the other party a punch in return.

This punch landed squarely on the man's face, and the man immediately spat blood, feeling dizzy, and fell to the ground.

The onlookers were shocked by this scene, and everyone was frightened by the madman in front of them.

"He's hitting people! There's a madman hitting people!"

Then someone shouted, and the street was immediately thrown into chaos.

The White Water Vajra didn't care. He looked at the man lying on the ground, repeating in his mouth: "Those who do not practice Buddhism shall die."

At this moment, the first man hurriedly ran over and hugged the White Water Vajra.

"Buddha, this is not a place to stay for long, let's go first," the man said.

The White Water Vajra seemed to be touched by the title of Buddha. He looked at the man, his eyes flashing with doubt.

The man pulled the White Water Vajra into an alley.

When the officers arrived at the scene, they only saw a person lying on the ground, and the madman was nowhere to be seen.

On the other side, the man took the White Water Vajra to his home.

He closed the door, looked at the White Water Vajra, hesitated for a moment, and knelt on the ground: "Are you a true Buddha?"

"True Buddha?" The White Water Vajra muttered these two words, and suddenly two rays of light burst out from his eyes.

He looked at the man on the ground and asked, "What is your name?"

The man held the silver ingot and respectfully said, "My name is Han Shantong."

Han Shantong was a scholar, but in this chaotic world, studying could not fill his stomach.

So his family situation declined again and again, and finally his parents left, leaving only this old house for him.

Thanks to the king's mighty campaign to eliminate Buddhism in recent years, the country has prospered again, and he has also become a teacher by virtue of his identity as a scholar, barely making a living.

Until today, he was walking on the street when he was suddenly stopped by this neurotic guy who asked him if he practiced Buddhism.

Of course, he didn't practice Buddhism, because those who practiced Buddhism were locked up in prison.

But facing this madman, Han Shantong lied, saying that he practiced Buddhism.

Then he got a silver ingot equivalent to half a year's salary.

This made Han Shantong realize that this madman was not an ordinary madman, but a rich madman.

This made Han Shantong keenly realize that he might be able to continue to extract money from this madman.

So there was the scene just now.

At this moment, he just wanted to follow the madman's words and make a fortune.

It was just that he didn't expect that when he said the words 'True Buddha', it temporarily calmed the White Water Vajra down.

He remembered his mission and understood his responsibilities, so when he sat on the chair and looked at Han Shantong, who was kneeling on the ground and devoted to Buddhism.

He rolled up his long hair and tied it behind him, revealing a firm face.

"Han Shantong, from now on you are my Buddhist disciple," he said.

Han Shantong raised his head, looked at the other party, and was surprised to find that the person opposite him did not seem to be a madman.

But since things had come to this, he could only brace himself and ask, "But True Buddha, what should we do?"

The White Water Vajra thought for a moment and said, "Don't call me True Buddha, I am not a True Buddha, you can call me Leader."

"Leader? Then Leader, what is our sect? Buddhism?" Han Shantong asked.

"Of course not," the White Water Vajra said sternly.

There is only one leader of Buddhism, and that is the Tathagata of the Western Paradise.

And he was just a Vajra, how dare he call himself the leader of Buddhism?

Hearing this, Han Shantong was shocked. He realized that the man in front of him really wanted to establish a sect, but this was a country that was eliminating Buddhism. If they were discovered, wouldn't they be dead?

Just as Han Shantong was uneasy, the White Water Vajra suddenly said, "Our sect is called the White Lotus."

"White Lotus?" Han Shantong was surprised. Was he really going to create a sect?

"That's right, from now on, our White Lotus Sect is officially established. You must recruit disciples widely and then promote Buddhism," the White Water Vajra said.

"But Leader, the country doesn't allow this," Han Shantong said.

"Hmm?" The White Water Vajra's face darkened, revealing an unhappy expression.

Han Shantong quickly knelt on the ground: "Leader, I understand. From now on, I will practice Buddhism and promote Buddhism every day."

Hearing this, the White Water Vajra showed a satisfied expression.

He took out another silver ingot and threw it in front of Han Shantong.
