Emerging from Zhu Ganglie's place, Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that something was amiss.
This feeling stemmed from everything being too smooth, so smooth that Guanyin Bodhisattva felt like she was cheating.
If things were proceeding as before, then such smoothness would be normal, and she would even wish for it to be so.
However, the current situation was that even Buddha felt uneasy, instructing Guanyin Bodhisattva to act ahead of time, especially emphasizing that there must be no mistakes in this journey.
Guanyin Bodhisattva originally intended to go to Eagle Sorrow Stream and Five Elements Mountain to enlighten the next two individuals.
But she suddenly changed her mind and flew towards Kunlun Mountain at full speed.
Guanyin Bodhisattva had discovered the problem.
"The anomaly, the only anomaly, is Chu Hao. If Chu Hao interferes, it will surely disrupt the heavenly secrets!"
"Find Chu Hao and warn him that he must not interfere in the Journey to the West!"
This was the only method Guanyin Bodhisattva could think of.
Of course, this method was rather direct and domineering, after all, Kunlun Mountain was Chu Hao's Daoist sanctum, going directly to find Chu Hao was like provoking him at his doorstep.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't care less.
Moreover, this time Chu Hao would definitely have to yield, because even the Heavenly Court had agreed to the Journey to the West, and Chu Hao could not possibly oppose it.
Guanyin Bodhisattva went at full speed and soon arrived at Kunlun Mountain.
However, before even entering Kunlun Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva sensed that something was wrong!
"What a powerful aura, what a familiar figure... That person wearing a sun hat and holding large shears, why does he look so familiar?"
Before Guanyin Bodhisattva entered Kunlun Mountain, she saw a strong man, seven feet tall with bulging muscles, within Kunlun Mountain.
"Who goes there! Daring to trespass on Kunlun Mountain!"
As if sensing Guanyin Bodhisattva's aura, the strong man suddenly turned his head, soared into the air, and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with murderous intent.
When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw the gardener's face, she couldn't help but exclaim,
"Emperor Fengdu! You are the master of the Underworld, Emperor Fengdu! Why are you here? And even... working as a gardener?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt her mind go blank, her face filled with bewilderment.
The Emperor Fengdu before her had already removed his majestic imperial crown and dragon robe.
Instead, he was dressed very down-to-earth: wearing a sun hat, an apron, and holding large shears, he looked like an old gardener full of ideals, confidence, and perseverance.
Working for Chu Hao, and even a gardener pruning flowers and plants in Kunlun Mountain?
Good heavens, I am utterly speechless!
Guanyin Bodhisattva finally managed to steady her mind, stared at Emperor Fengdu, and asked:
"Emperor Fengdu, let me ask you, where is the Prison God?"
Emperor Fengdu rolled his eyes at Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Would I tell you? Are you sick! Also, I am now a Kunlun gardener, don't stop me from working, I love labor, labor makes me glorious!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva: "???"
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that Emperor Fengdu had completely changed after not seeing him for hundreds of years!
He had become a socialist builder who loved labor and worked hard?!
Guanyin Bodhisattva had a headache and felt like she had gone to the wrong place.
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Emperor Fengdu, please stop joking, I will ask you again, where is the Prison God!"
Gardener Fengdu widened his eyes:
"Many working people create a beautiful home for society under the scorching sun. The world is beautiful because of our efforts, their hard work and sweat."
"You actually say that our work is a joke? Young man, are you looking for a fight?!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that she could not communicate with Emperor Fengdu at all.
But fighting was obviously out of the question.
Joking aside, Emperor Fengdu was not a pushover, if they fought, there was a high probability that Guanyin Bodhisattva would be lying on the ground!
"Okay, Emperor Fengdu has guts, the Western Paradise will remember you!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva glared at Emperor Fengdu and turned to leave.
Emperor Fengdu shouted behind Guanyin Bodhisattva:
"Get lost! The labor garden theme that I just finished, you've all ruined it for me, get lost!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva staggered, almost falling from the sky.
… …
Unable to find out whether Chu Hao was in Kunlun Mountain.
Helpless, Guanyin Bodhisattva had to go to the Western Paradise for help.
Soon, Buddha Tathagata gave the answer:
"Regarding the anomaly's identity, Chu Hao's past whereabouts are unpredictable, and his future whereabouts are unknown."
"However, he should not have appeared on the Journey to the West. He is now in Nanzhan Buzhou, within the Tang Dynasty, sightseeing."
"Bodhisattva can first go and enlighten the scripture seeker, I will keep an eye on that anomaly."
Even Buddha Tathagata personally said that he would keep an eye on Chu Hao, and Guanyin Bodhisattva finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Tathagata could only grasp Chu Hao's approximate location, but where Chu Hao was specifically now, what he was saying, what he was doing, and who he was with, Tathagata knew nothing about these things.
Even a Saint could not calculate Chu Hao's past, present, and future, let alone Tathagata.
The Bodhisattva was about to leave, but suddenly saw Tathagata's face turn black instantly,
"Wait... that damned Prison God! Stop!"
A second ago, Buddha Tathagata was still confident, young man, you go ahead, I'll keep an eye on the Prison God!
Then the next second he was cursing the damned Prison God?
Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly felt a chill in her heart and quickly asked: "My Buddha, what happened?"
Tathagata gritted his teeth, "You quickly go to Haizhou in the human realm and stop that Prison God!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned, "What's wrong with him?"
Tathagata said with a dark face, "He wants to eat fish!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't react for a moment. If someone wants to eat fish, they eat fish. Buddha is not so compassionate as to care about Chu Hao eating fish. Could it be that the fish in Jiangzhou are related to Buddha? Can't be eaten?
Wait, Jiangzhou, fish?!
Could it be!
Guanyin Bodhisattva's face changed drastically, "I'll go now!"
Tathagata said coldly: "Act according to the circumstances, and also, don't forget about enlightening the scripture seeker."
"Yes!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva hurried out.
After Guanyin left, Tathagata's face was gloomy, and he secretly calculated:
"Jiangzhou in the human realm, how could that Prison God Chu Hao run there?"
"Is it a coincidence? No, it can't be a coincidence, otherwise, he wouldn't have found that fish so easily, could it be..."
"However, the detailed arrangements for the Journey to the West, apart from those Bodhisattvas and Arhats, no one knows... Could it be that there are spies among these people?"
At this moment, a light of doubt flashed in Buddha Tathagata's eyes.
Especially recalling how Chu Hao seemed to be prescient every step of the way, Buddha Tathagata became even more suspicious.
