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

#1806 - Plans for the West

The words of Namo Water Heaven Buddha clearly piqued 如来's interest. He had been brooding over 楚浩 taking the benefits without doing the work.

Now, if he could get 楚浩 to lead a large army to crusade against the Demon Clan, it would not only prevent him from taking the benefits for nothing, but also keep him away from the tribulations of the Journey to the West. If he could contain the Demon Clan, then Tang Sanzang and his disciples could also successfully complete their mission, which would be a great success.

Namo Water Heaven Buddha also saw that 如来 was very interested, so he said, "At present, I would like to ask Buddha Ancestor to discuss this matter with that Jade Emperor."

如来 understood that if he wanted 楚浩 to take action, he had to start with the Jade Emperor.

He nodded slightly.

At this moment, Guanyin arrived and told 如来 everything about her conversation with 楚浩.

Hearing this, 如来 also fell into deep thought.

This was indeed a major event, and if it was not handled properly, the Journey to the West would be stalled at Lion Camel Ridge.

At present, a person was needed to break the deadlock, and that person happened to be 楚浩.

This made 如来 subconsciously want to refuse.

At this time, Namo Water Heaven Buddha said, "Buddha Ancestor, if you want that 楚浩 to take action, you still have to maintain a good relationship between the Western Heaven and him. Why not just follow his wishes?"

如来 was silent for a long time, and asked, "What do you all think?"

At this time, another Buddha spoke, "Buddha Ancestor, since that 楚浩 needs manpower, why not let Lion Camel Ridge send out some of its combat power to him."

The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge came from the Western Heaven. Now that they had lost the protection of the Demon Clan, they must be terrified. Even if they offered some of their combat power, they would definitely be willing.

In addition, the Golden-Winged Great Peng among the three demons was, in a sense, 如来's brother-in-law and related to Mount Meru.

That was why he dared to speak to 如来 like that that day.

The bloodline of this Great Peng was extremely noble, being the descendant of the Phoenix, and the sibling of the Peacock.

Because the Peacock was born to eat people, the Buddha Ancestor at that time was cultivating the Six Zhang Golden Body. Caught off guard, he was eaten by the Peacock. Later, 如来 broke out of her belly and honored the Peacock as his mother, calling her the Buddha Mother. The Great Peng became his uncle.

The fearless Great Peng was even more noble than the other two demons. With this status, if 如来 spoke to his sister, the Peacock King, the Golden-Winged Great Peng would have to agree.

Thinking of this, 如来 already had an idea in his mind. He said to Guanyin, "Explain to that 楚浩 that the Golden-Winged Great Peng of Lion Camel Ridge has an old relationship with this seat. If he can allow this tribulation to continue, this seat is willing to hand over some of the combat power of Lion Camel Ridge and let them submit to the Law Enforcement Hall."

This was already a very good condition. In the end, it was because the strength that 楚浩 had previously displayed made 如来 not dare to underestimate him, plus he really needed the other party's help.

"I respectfully obey the Dharma decree." Guanyin nodded and left.

Soon, Guanyin informed 楚浩 of 如来's intentions.

After listening, 楚浩 immediately said, "Since that's the case, then let that Golden-Winged Great Peng become a subordinate of my Law Enforcement Hall."

"What?" Guanyin thought that 楚浩 only wanted a group of small demons, but she didn't expect that he would ask to abduct 如来's brother-in-law as soon as he opened his mouth.

She knew the identity of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, so she naturally didn't dare to agree rashly.

According to Namo Water Heaven Buddha's plan, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was, after all, 如来's brother-in-law. When he arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, he could start to cultivate his own power, and then the Heavenly Court would be infiltrated by Mount Meru, and it would be justified.

This was naturally a beneficial thing for the Western Heaven, so he immediately summoned the Golden-Winged Great Peng to Mount Meru.

It was said that the Golden-Winged Great Peng, who was staying at Lion Camel Ridge, did not expect the Demon Clan to suddenly withdraw, but he thought that he was noble and should be fine.

As a result, he was summoned back to Mount Meru, which frightened him and made him think that he was going to be questioned by 如来.

So as soon as they met, the Great Peng immediately said, "如来 Buddha Ancestor, I was bewitched by that Demon Clan to do such a thing."

He looked innocent and planned to deny everything and push everything to the Demon Clan.

如来 did not intend to blame him, after all, the three of them were still needed for the tribulations of the Journey to the West, so he said, "This seat already knows about this matter. At present, I want you to do another thing."

"Please tell me, Buddha Ancestor, I will definitely complete it seriously." The Great Peng even expressed his loyalty.

Although it had an extraordinary origin and was related to the Peacock King, colluding with the Demon Clan was a big or small matter, depending entirely on 如来's mood. It did not dare to act rashly again.

"This seat intends to let you join the Law Enforcement Hall." 如来 said calmly.

"Law Enforcement Hall?" The Great Peng looked puzzled.

It remembered that the Law Enforcement Hall seemed to be the power of the Prison God 楚浩. Speaking of the Prison God 楚浩, it had seen his battle with the Demon Clan general last time. That momentum was very fierce.

Although it had not seen his battle with 如来, it had already placed the other party in a very high position.

In particular, the other party could actually talk and laugh with the Demon Clan without any problems, which made the Great Peng sigh at the other party's strength.

"That's right, then you pretend to submit to that Prison God 楚浩..." 如来 said his purpose.

These words startled the Great Peng. It did not expect that it would become a spy of the Western Heaven lurking in the Heavenly Court. This was a big deal.

This was somewhat unacceptable to the Great Peng, who was naturally lazy and loved freedom. It hesitated for a moment and said, "如来 Buddha Ancestor, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this task."

Hearing this, 如来's face darkened slightly, and he whispered, "This seat has not yet informed the Peacock King about your collusion with the Demon Clan."

Obviously, this was threatening the Great Peng.

It should be known that once the Peacock King knew about this matter, she might kill her relatives righteously. Although it would not be life-threatening, it would probably never be able to live freely again.

The Great Peng looked hesitant, thought again and again, and had to say, "I respectfully obey the Buddha Ancestor's Dharma decree."

"Well, you go back first. At present, first follow that 楚浩 and solve the matter of Tang Sanzang and his disciples." 如来 instructed.

The Great Peng nodded and then left.

After he left, Namo Water Heaven Buddha immediately stood up and said, "Buddha Ancestor, if this matter is successful, it will be good to encourage that 楚浩 to go and crusade against the Demon Clan."

如来 nodded: "I will discuss this matter with 天尊. You should cultivate well."

Saying this, he turned into a ray of Buddha light and disappeared into the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Obviously, he went to discuss the matter of crusading against the Demon Clan with the Jade Emperor.

And we, as Guanyin, the special user for errands, had to inform 楚浩 of this matter again.
