#2116 - Guanyin had no choice but to ask for help
The siege lasted for an hour, and the entire city wall defense line had been completely breached by the demons. The demon army began to kill its way into the city.
Fortunately, the four towering beacon towers were still functioning. With the blessing of the lights, the Buddhas of the Western Heaven were still able to contend with the demon army and restrain their offensive momentum.
And the people also used their lives as a price to divert the three demons' slaughter, allowing the Buddhas to fully resist the demons.
But even so, as the battlefield shifted to the city, the entire Jinping Prefecture City was already in complete chaos.
"You temporarily hold off Centipede of a Hundred Poisons and the others, I'll go find Tang Sanzang and them, and have them quickly eliminate the three demons."
Guanyin said to Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
At this time, only this method was feasible. Although it was a bit difficult for Manjusri and Samantabhadra to deal with Centipede of a Hundred Poisons and the other two, they could barely support themselves.
Guanyin then headed towards Ciyun Temple, where Tang Sanzang and the others were.
In fact, it was Chu Hao who offered the demons a plan to use the three demons to attack the city. Chu Hao and Tang Sanzang were naturally fully aware of the current situation.
However, they were just watching the excitement at Ciyun Temple. This sinful land of Jinping Prefecture, turning into this appearance, was exactly what they wanted to see.
"Guanyin can't hold on anymore and is coming to ask you for help."
Chu Hao said to Tang Sanzang and the others. Guanyin's actions naturally could not escape Chu Hao's eyes.
"That's good. We can also mock Guanyin, who was so arrogant and proud before."
Tang Sanzang calculated in his heart, his face full of smiles.
"Let us help? Good, we'll make them even busier."
Sun Wukong looked like he wanted to be mischievous and make trouble.
Just as they were talking, Guanyin had hurriedly arrived and was about to speak in front of Tang Sanzang and the others.
But before Guanyin could speak, Tang Sanzang spoke first.
"The Bodhisattva has come, surely after repelling the demon's attack again. How can those mere demons be a match for the Western Heaven?
The Western Heaven has extraordinary strength, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is also a capable leader."
Tang Sanzang's words made Guanyin, who was eager to ask for help, embarrassed to say it, and her face was flushed red.
"Our Western Heaven is naturally not afraid of demons. Those petty thieves of the demons can only succeed for a while at most."
Guanyin naturally wouldn't admit defeat, but she naturally wanted to bring up the topic of asking for help.
"We naturally know the Bodhisattva's ability. In front of you, the demons can't even think of succeeding for a moment."
Tang Sanzang said in a praising tone, but in fact, he was just saying the opposite, making Guanyin unable to speak her mind.
"Alright, Tang Sanzang, stop rambling."
Although Guanyin didn't want to bow her head and admit defeat, she had no choice but to do so due to the situation.
"Now the demons have already attacked the city, and the three demons are even harming the people. You should immediately go and eliminate the three demons. This is your mission."
Guanyin said to Tang Sanzang and the others with a gloomy face.
"The Bodhisattva is right. The three demons are harming the people, and we should indeed eliminate them, but there's no need to rush.
This poor monk is leading his three disciples in reciting the Heart Sutra to show respect for the Buddha. This Heart Sutra must be recited a hundred times without interruption, otherwise, it would be insincere to the Dharma.
After we finish reciting the Heart Sutra, we will naturally go to subdue demons and protect the people, Bodhisattva, please rest assured."
After Tang Sanzang finished speaking to Guanyin, he immediately made a gesture of reciting the sutra, and Sun Wukong and the others also cooperated with the acting very cleverly.
"Rest assured? Can I rest assured? By the time you finish reciting the Heart Sutra a hundred times, I'm afraid Jinping Prefecture City will have been flattened by the demons."
Guanyin couldn't bear it any longer and said to Tang Sanzang.
"Why does the Bodhisattva say that? Subduing demons and eliminating evil is what we should do. We bear the great responsibility of the Journey to the West, and naturally, we should embody the heavenly way to save the common people, promote the Dharma, and be sincerely good!"
Tang Sanzang's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but they were only limited to words, and he still had no intention of getting up.
"Tang Sanzang, now is not the time to say these words. We can't hold on anymore. If you don't subdue the demons, Jinping Prefecture will be finished."
Guanyin couldn't wait to pick up Tang Sanzang directly. If she let Tang Sanzang continue talking, she would probably really collapse.
"The situation is already very critical, you quickly subdue the demons!"
Guanyin had completely softened and said to Tang Sanzang and the others in a pleading tone.
"So it's so critical, why didn't the Bodhisattva say so earlier!"
Tang Sanzang finally stood up, "You were still hesitating and rambling with us."
"Pfft!"
Guanyin spat out a mouthful of old blood in anger, and she couldn't tell who was rambling anymore.
"Bodhisattva, are you alright?"
Looking at Guanyin spitting blood in anger, Tang Sanzang asked with a smug smile on his face.
"Hurry and come with me."
Guanyin had no time to pay attention to the gloating expressions of Tang Sanzang and the others.
She led Tang Sanzang and the others to where the three demons were and said to them.
"You only need to eliminate the three demons, which should be very simple for you."
At this time, the three demons were still frantically slaughtering the people, and tens of thousands of people had already died at their hands.
Adding to the casualties of the battlefield, the entire Jinping Prefecture could be described as corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
Tang Sanzang and the others were naturally no strangers to the three demons, and they had beaten them up twice before. Subduing the three demons was easy for them.
However, looking at the three demons at this time, Tang Sanzang pretended to have a solemn expression.
"Bodhisattva, I see that these three demons are very fierce and powerful. I'm afraid our master and disciples may not be able to deal with them."
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng immediately cooperated with Tang Sanzang.
"These three monsters are indeed not easy to deal with."
Hearing Tang Sanzang and the others say this, Guanyin's face became even more gloomy. She naturally knew that Tang Sanzang and the others didn't want to put in the effort.
"You just need to subdue the demons. If you can't defeat them, I will give you guidance."
Guanyin assured Tang Sanzang and the others.
"Okay, since the Bodhisattva has said so, then our master and disciples will go to subdue demons and eliminate evil, and save the people of Jinping Prefecture. Disciples, let's take action together."
Tang Sanzang put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, leading Sun Wukong and the others towards the three demons.
At this time, the three demons had once again surrounded hundreds of people, wanting to launch a massacre against them. The eyes of these people were full of fear and despair.
Of course, it wasn't just them. At this time, the people of Jinping Prefecture were also in a state of panic and fear, fleeing everywhere like frightened sheep.
