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

#2222 - The Buddha's Calculation

Returning to the Western Paradise, the Tathagata Buddha immediately convened all key members of the Western Paradise to discuss matters.

"Everyone, as you all know, our Western Paradise has suffered extremely heavy losses in several battles with the Demon Clan, and our strength has been greatly reduced.

At this time, the Journey to the West plan must not have any mistakes. I have called you here to discuss a perfect plan together to ensure the smooth progress of the Journey to the West."

The Tathagata Buddha said to the people of the Western Paradise. The repeated setbacks in the Journey to the West plan had already given the Tathagata Buddha a faint premonition of something bad.

If this continues, I am afraid that the Journey to the West plan will be difficult to succeed, and then everything will be over.

"Buddha, now Tang Sanzang and his disciples are about to arrive at Yuhua City, but we have not had time to carry out any deployment.

In a hurry, I am afraid it will be difficult to make thorough arrangements. What should we do?"

Guanyin said to the Tathagata Buddha.

"Yes, I am afraid there is not enough time."

"The previous careful arrangements have not been successful, and this time I am afraid it will be even worse."

"If there are any more mistakes, I am afraid our losses will be even greater."

The people of the Western Paradise also spoke one after another, each with a frown, seemingly filled with worry.

"We made careful arrangements before, but we still made mistakes one after another, leading to the failure of the entire plan.

Although the previous failures have caused us no small losses, everyone should not be too worried.

As the saying goes, 'A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.' As long as we learn from our mistakes, we will definitely be able to succeed next time, and the Journey to the West plan will definitely proceed smoothly."

Seeing the expressions of the people in the Western Paradise, the Tathagata Buddha gave everyone some encouragement.

Hearing the Tathagata Buddha say this, Guanyin, who had repeatedly lost face in front of the Tathagata Buddha before, naturally wanted to perform well at this time, flattering and bootlicking.

"Listening to the Buddha say this, it seems that he must have a brilliant plan in mind. The Buddha's wisdom is unparalleled, and we are naturally far inferior.

Buddha, please speak clearly so that we can know the Buddha's plan and have a little confidence in our hearts."

Guanyin's flattery made the Tathagata Buddha very comfortable, and he immediately laughed loudly.

"Haha, it's actually very simple, but you have all fallen into a misunderstanding."

Hearing the Tathagata Buddha say this, the people of the Western Paradise all seemed very curious.

"What misunderstanding?"

"What brilliant plan does the Buddha have?"

"We are naturally not as wise as the Buddha."

The people of the Western Paradise asked curiously and flattered the Tathagata Buddha.

"Let me ask you, why did our previous plan fail?"

The Tathagata Buddha paused and asked the people of the Western Paradise instead.

"Why did it fail? Is it because of Chu Hao?"

"Is it because accidents always happen?"

"I think it's because Tang Sanzang and his disciples are not cooperative enough!"

Our previous plans always failed because we were too passive. Next, we must turn passivity into initiative."

The people of the Western Paradise understood some of the Tathagata Buddha's meaning, but most of them still did not know what the Tathagata Buddha meant.

"Since arranging plans and deployments in advance will be disrupted, then we will not make advance deployments.

In this way, no one will know our plan, let alone disrupt our plan.

And we can secretly coordinate the overall situation, and we can respond flexibly, taking the initiative in everything."

The Tathagata Buddha further explained to the people of the Western Paradise. This is the Tathagata Buddha's plan.

"Brilliant, the Buddha's trick is really brilliant. We would never have thought of it."

Guanyin was the first to stand up and flatter the Tathagata Buddha.

"The Buddha is indeed wise."

"Without a plan, there will be no plan to disrupt."

"This is really profound."

Although many people in the Western Paradise still did not understand, they also habitually followed suit, flattering the Tathagata Buddha.

"Without a plan, respond flexibly. The Buddha's trick is indeed brilliant, but we must also beware of Chu Hao.

The failure of our plan is more or less related to Chu Hao, and this person is very cunning and has extraordinary strength.

If we cannot stabilize him, I am afraid it will be difficult to respond flexibly."

Dipankara Buddha reminded the Tathagata Buddha.

"Yes, Chu Hao is a big trouble."

"This person has repeatedly ruined our major affairs in the Western Paradise, and he deserves to die."

"The Buddha should take action and directly kill this person."

Speaking of Chu Hao, the people of the Western Paradise all gritted their teeth in hatred. Including the Tathagata Buddha, these people in the Western Paradise had suffered losses from Chu Hao, and more than once or twice.

In fact, in the Tathagata Buddha's heart, he wanted to completely solve Chu Hao, but he did not have the ability.

"As for Chu Hao, next, I will personally deal with this person. Even if I cannot kill him, I will definitely prevent him from causing trouble."

The Tathagata Buddha assured the people of the Western Paradise.

Hearing the Tathagata Buddha say this, the people of the Western Paradise all showed smiles.

Although Chu Hao's strength was strong, in the eyes of the people of the Western Paradise, no matter how strong he was, he could not be stronger than the Tathagata Buddha, the number one powerhouse in the Three Realms.

As long as the Tathagata Buddha personally takes action to deal with Chu Hao, then Chu Hao will not be able to cause any trouble.

However, the Tathagata Buddha's next words surprised the people of the Western Paradise.

"I want to negotiate with Chu Hao!"

In fact, the Tathagata Buddha still had some concerns about Chu Hao in his heart. This concern did not come solely from the Heavenly Court, but also from Chu Hao's own strength.

The Tathagata Buddha also had a series of judgments about Chu Hao's strength, which came from Chu Hao's battles with Dipankara and the demons in the North Sea Eye.

Through these judgments, the Tathagata Buddha felt that although Chu Hao's strength was not as good as his own, it would be difficult for him to kill Chu Hao.

Therefore, even though Chu Hao took away the Tathagata Buddha's natal magic weapon to Lonely Garden, he still endured it and wanted to negotiate with Chu Hao, first stabilizing Chu Hao with the Journey to the West plan as the priority.

"Guanyin, you must keep an eye on Tang Sanzang and his disciples, secretly follow them to Yuhua City, and then respond flexibly, and there must be no more mistakes."

The Tathagata Buddha said to Guanyin.

"Buddha, rest assured, this time I will definitely go all out and there will be absolutely no more mistakes."

Although Guanyin made such a guarantee, the Tathagata Buddha did not quite believe in Guanyin's ability.

But other than Guanyin, no one else was suitable, so he could only let Guanyin bring more people and act carefully.

"I want to take a trip to the Heavenly Court."

The Tathagata Buddha wanted to negotiate with Chu Hao, but he would not go to Chu Hao directly for a face-to-face talk, but would go through the Jade Emperor.
