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

#2220 - This is all Tang Seng's fault

The Buddha, along with the Western Paradise assembly, departed, though his heart was filled with intense frustration.

"How could this be? Why did our elaborate plan result in such an outcome?"

The Buddha asked the Western Paradise assembly.

In the Buddha's view, everything had been meticulously arranged, and this trial would surely make Tang Sanzang submissive and obedient.

"It must be Chu Hao secretly causing trouble!"

Guanyin, covering her swollen face, said to the Buddha.

"Nonsense!"

The Buddha naturally knew that Chu Hao was secretly causing trouble; their plans had all been ruined by Chu Hao.

However, Chu Hao was too difficult to deal with. Apart from the Buddha, no one else had the strength to confront Chu Hao.

And even if the Buddha wanted to deal with Chu Hao personally, he had to consider the Heavenly Court's relationship. Chu Hao's own strength was rapidly increasing, and even if the Buddha personally took action, he might not necessarily be able to capture him.

"Let's ignore Chu Hao for now. We can only find a way to deal with this person after the Journey to the West is complete."

The Buddha said to the Western Paradise assembly.

"Actually, all of this should be blamed on Tang Sanzang; the problem lies with him."

Guanyin said to the Buddha again.

"Indeed, it's all Tang Sanzang's fault!"

The Buddha now just wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. Since he couldn't deal with Chu Hao, he would choose Tang Sanzang.

If Tang Sanzang hadn't messed things up, there wouldn't have been any variables in the Tianzhu Kingdom, and they wouldn't have had any conflict with the Demon Clan.

They wouldn't have been imprisoned by the Heavenly Court, the Spirit Mountain wouldn't have been destroyed by the Demon Clan, and they wouldn't have lost the Tianzhu Kingdom.

"Tang Sanzang should be taught a good lesson, otherwise, how can the Journey to the West proceed!"

The Buddha said decisively, locking his target on Tang Sanzang.

"Please, Buddha, use your Buddha Eyes to see where Tang Sanzang is."

"Yes, we must find Tang Sanzang and teach him a good lesson."

"If he doesn't cooperate with our Western Paradise, we'll forcibly brainwash and control him."

The Western Paradise assembly was also holding back a breath of anger, treating Tang Sanzang as an object of venting.

"Mm!"

The Buddha said, using his Buddha Eyes to observe the Three Realms and find Tang Sanzang's location.

According to Chu Hao's arrangement, Tang Sanzang had already led Sun Wukong and the others to continue their journey westward and were currently on the road.

"Follow me!"

After seeing Tang Sanzang's location, the Buddha led the Western Paradise assembly and quickly rushed over.

Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong were currently passing through a bustling small town and were taking a short rest in the town.

"Master, why haven't they come yet?"

Sun Wukong asked Tang Sanzang.

"Don't worry, they will come soon; how could Immortal Chu Hao be wrong?"

Tang Sanzang replied to Sun Wukong.

Just as they were talking, a strong wind surged in the sky, and then dozens of figures sped over from the air.

"They're here!"

Sun Wukong was the first to notice and said to Tang Sanzang and the others.

Tang Sanzang nodded, immediately picked up the scriptures beside him, and posed as if he was meditating and chanting.

Zhu Bajie ate and drank on his own, looking carefree.

In the blink of an eye, the Buddha led the Western Paradise assembly to descend from the sky, and dozens of people directly surrounded Tang Sanzang and the others.

"Tang Sanzang, do you know your sin?"

The Buddha opened his mouth, aggressively questioning Tang Sanzang.

Hearing the Buddha's voice, Tang Sanzang seemed to suddenly wake up from his meditation, stood up, and looked at the surrounding Buddha and Western Paradise big shots.

"Amitabha, so it is the Buddha himself who has come. This disciple was just wholeheartedly chanting scriptures and did not notice the arrival of the Buddha and all the Bodhisattvas. I failed to welcome you; please forgive me!"

Tang Sanzang put his palms together and saluted the Buddha and Guanyin and the others.

"Amitabha!"

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng also immediately got up and, together with Tang Sanzang, saluted the Buddha and the Western Paradise assembly, appearing very pious.

The Buddha and the Western Paradise assembly had come to question Tang Sanzang and vent the anger in their hearts.

However, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong were so pious and polite that the Buddha and the Western Paradise assembly were a little embarrassed to attack.

"I wonder what the Buddha and the Western Paradise Bodhisattvas and Venerables have come for. If you need this disciple's help, this disciple will definitely do his best!"

Tang Sanzang continued to say to the Buddha and the Western Paradise assembly, revealing a face full of smiles.

The Buddha didn't know how to directly question Tang Sanzang, so he looked at Guanyin beside him. This villain still had to be played by Guanyin.

Guanyin naturally knew that it was time for her to step forward, wanting to speak, but before she could say anything, Tang Sanzang spoke first.

"Bodhisattva, this disciple sees that you seem very tired. Why is the Bodhisattva's face swollen? It must be due to exhaustion and injury. The Bodhisattva still needs to take care of your body, otherwise, how can you save all living beings!"

These words made Guanyin a little embarrassed to cover her face.

"Tang Sanzang, I ask you, why do you not cooperate with my Western Paradise? This is destroying the Journey to the West; can you bear the responsibility?"

Guanyin still put on a questioning attitude, scolding Tang Sanzang.

"Bodhisattva, in what matter have I not cooperated with the Western Paradise?"

Tang Sanzang put on an extremely wronged look, appearing very innocent.

"In the capital of the Tianzhu Kingdom, what did you do?"

Guanyin saw Tang Sanzang pretending to be stupid and couldn't help but feel angry again.

"In the capital of the Tianzhu Kingdom, didn't the Bodhisattva let that fake princess seduce this poor monk with her beauty?"

Tang Sanzang asked Guanyin.

"Yes!"

This was indeed the case, and Guanyin naturally nodded.

"Then this poor monk naturally had to cooperate with the Western Paradise, pretending to be seduced by the fake princess, wanting to marry the fake princess. What's wrong with that?"

Tang Sanzang replied to Guanyin.

"That's not right, you should have refused. You are a member of my Buddhist sect, how can you be seduced by a demon with her beauty?"

Guanyin said to Tang Sanzang.

"Bodhisattva, I, Tang Sanzang, am naturally devoted to the Buddha's teachings, but you of the Western Paradise sent a demon to seduce me, so I should naturally cooperate.

As for the Bodhisattva's intention, it was not made clear to this poor monk, how could this poor monk know such a unique intention of the Bodhisattva?"

Tang Sanzang pushed the responsibility back onto Guanyin, and what he said made some sense.

"This... Let's not talk about this matter for now, why did you escape and go to the Demon Clan, causing my Western Paradise to have several major battles with the Demon Clan, ultimately suffering heavy losses!"

Guanyin was somewhat speechless and could only skip it, then questioned Tang Sanzang about other matters.

However, Chu Hao had long anticipated that the Buddha and Guanyin would come to question them, and he and Tang Sanzang had already thought of their excuses, so they were not afraid of Guanyin's questioning at all.

"Bodhisattva, you say that, you are truly wronging this poor monk. This poor monk is wholeheartedly devoted to the Western Paradise and has worked hard on the journey westward. To wrong me like this, my heart aches to the extreme."

Tang Sanzang looked aggrieved.

"Buddha, you must not wrong our master and disciples."

"Bodhisattva Guanyin, please understand."

"We are sincerely traveling westward!"

Sun Wukong and the others naturally immediately cooperated with Tang Sanzang.
