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

#1994 - Find a big backer

Jingguang entered Leiyin Temple and reported the situation to his superiors. Soon, the news was reported to the Tathagata Buddha.

The Tathagata Buddha, in a Buddhist hall, gathered the core members of the Western Heaven to discuss the matter of Fengxian County.

In fact, according to the Western Heaven's control over Xiniu Hezhou, they should have known about the destruction of Buddhism in Fengxian County in the first instance.

However, when Chu Hao and Sun Wukong and the others attacked the Western Heaven, they smashed one of the Spirit Light Mirrors that monitored Xiniu Hezhou.

Although the remaining two Spirit Light Mirrors could barely function, the monitoring range was much smaller, less than half of the original.

Naturally, the Tathagata and the others did not discover the Fengxian County incident immediately.

"We did everything perfectly in the Fengxian County matter, how could there be a sudden change?"

Guanyin was a little puzzled. They had carefully planned everything in the Western Heaven, and the county governor had already been deceived. How could he suddenly wake up and start targeting the Western Heaven?

"This matter must be dealt with quickly. Although Tang Seng is still missing, Sun Wukong and the others are about to arrive in Fengxian County."

The Tathagata instructed Guanyin, saying that the Hidden Mist Mountain tribulation had already gone wrong, and there could be no more problems in this Fengxian County.

"Buddha, rest assured, we have made thorough arrangements and have a backup plan!"

Guanyin confidently assured the Buddha.

The Tathagata Buddha nodded. He would not truly value the resistance of those mortals who were like weeds.

"If Fengxian County continues to destroy Buddhism, then we will continue to send down disasters."

Meanwhile, in Fengxian County, the county governor was also discussing the next arrangements with Tang Seng.

"Venerable Tang, our first step has been successful. There is no more worship of Buddha or reverence for the Dharma within Fengxian County. What should we do next?"

The county governor asked Tang Seng.

"May I ask the county governor, if the Western Heaven knows that we are doing this, how would they deal with it according to their style?"

Tang Seng still asked the county governor a question.

"The Western Heaven acts ruthlessly. If they know that we are destroying Buddhism like this, they will definitely take revenge, and may even send down disasters."

The county governor was frightened by his own answer. How could mortals fight with gods? Their casual divine powers could put millions of people to death.

Fengxian County was already experiencing difficult times due to three years of no rain. If they provoked the Western Heaven's revenge, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?

"Venerable Tang, you must show us a way out."

The county governor pleaded with Tang Seng. Now, the only person he could rely on was Tang Seng.

"County governor, don't panic. Since I have formulated the first step of the plan, I have already thought of a solution."

Tang Seng signaled the county governor not to worry, he had already planned it.

"We mortals have no divine powers, so naturally it is impossible to confront the Western Heaven head-on, but the Western Heaven is not an existence that can cover the sky with one hand.

So, the second step is to find a backer who can fight against the Western Heaven."

Tang Seng explained to the county governor.

In fact, there were not many choices. Now, there were only two forces that could contend with the Western Heaven: the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court.

Among these two forces, the Demon Clan was obviously not suitable. If the Demon Clan came, then the Western Heaven would definitely send out a large army.

If a great battle broke out here, then Fengxian County would have to stage a scene of the crisis of the Extinguishing Dharma Kingdom.

"So we can only choose the Heavenly Court."

"But will the Heavenly Court help us?"

The county governor was a little skeptical, how could he get the Heavenly Court to help.

"The Western Heaven is secretly playing tricks, but they are pushing the responsibility for the three years of no rain onto the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor. This is already offending the Heavenly Court.

If we add more effort, it will not be too difficult to get the Heavenly Court to take action."

Tang Seng explained his second step plan to the county governor in detail.

In Fengxian County, the people first worshiped the Buddha, and then destroyed Buddhism. It can be said that it was a lot of trouble, but after all the trouble, everyone knew that the problem was not solved.

"What should we do now?"

"If it doesn't rain again, then we can only wait to die if we don't escape."

"Is it really that the heavens want to destroy our Fengxian County?"

The people could only sigh and look up at the sky, facing these increasingly difficult days.

At this moment, the county governor once again summoned the people and announced a major event.

"Since the Buddha does not bless our Fengxian County, then we can only change to other gods. I have decided that Fengxian County will hold a large-scale ceremony to worship the heavens."

Worshiping the heavens, as the name suggests, is to worship the heavens. What is the heavens? That is the Heavenly Court, so the Jade Emperor is also called the Old Lord of the Heavens by mortals.

Although the previous Fengxian County had also been worshiping and praying for rain, the scale of that kind of worship and prayer for rain was not large.

Moreover, there were people from the Western Heaven secretly playing tricks, blocking the hearing of the heavens. In fact, the Heavenly Court did not receive any news.

This time, the county governor was going to use the power of the entire county to hold a large-scale ceremony to worship the heavens.

Of course, if it was just a ceremony to worship the heavens, the Western Heaven would also have a way to prevent the Heavenly Court from receiving any news.

But Tang Seng was still here. Since Tang Seng came up with such an idea, then he must have a countermeasure.

He has already passed the news to Chu Hao.

At this time, Chu Hao was leading Sun Wukong and the others westward, on the way to Fengxian County.

"It seems that the matter of Fengxian County has entered a critical moment. You go ahead first, I need to go to the Heavenly Court."

Chu Hao received the message from Tang Seng, knew the progress of the matter, and instructed Sun Wukong and the others.

Chu Hao flashed and transformed into a rainbow, and in a moment, he had arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate.

"Greetings, Prison God!"

Now, no one in the Heavenly Court does not know Chu Hao. The gatekeepers saluted and paid respects to Chu Hao.

Chu Hao entered the Heavenly Court and went directly to the Hall of Universal Brightness.

At this moment, in the Hall of Universal Brightness, the Jade Emperor was discussing the affairs of the Three Realms with the gods of the Heavenly Court.

Chu Hao's identity allowed him to enter and exit any place in the Heavenly Court at any time, and he directly entered the Hall of Universal Brightness.

"Chu Hao, why have you suddenly come?"

The Jade Emperor saw Chu Hao, suspended the discussion, and asked Chu Hao.

"Jade Emperor, I have something to report to the Jade Emperor."

Chu Hao said to the Jade Emperor, roughly recounting the matter of Fengxian County.

After hearing what Chu Hao said, the Jade Emperor was already furious.

"It's really outrageous. These insidious villains of the Western Heaven have committed heinous deeds, but they are pushing the responsibility onto my head. Isn't this making me their scapegoat?"

Not only was the Jade Emperor angry, but the gods of the Heavenly Court were also extremely angry. This time, the Western Heaven had slandered the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Court. The reputation of the Heavenly Court was damaged, and the gods were also implicated.

Those present were all great gods of the Heavenly Court, and they all valued face. Who could endure this slander?
