#2304 - The second rule
At this time, Kou Shanren and Guanyin were in the Kou mansion, waiting for news of Tang Seng and his group's capture.
"Master, we didn't catch Tang Seng and his group."
"We didn't catch them either. After we surrounded them, they turned into a few strands of hair."
"We lost track of them."
Hearing that none of the groups had captured Tang Seng and his group, Kou Shanren couldn't help but fly into a rage.
"Useless, you're all a bunch of useless people."
After scolding his subordinates, Kou Shanren turned to Guanyin and asked him.
"Bodhisattva, Tang Seng and his group have escaped. What should we do?"
Guanyin was not worried about this at all, as if he had expected Tang Seng and his group to escape.
"It doesn't matter. Tang Seng and his group cannot leave Diling County, and they are suppressed by the power here, so their cultivation recovers very slowly.
Let them struggle for a couple of days. In the end, they will have no choice but to come back and admit defeat to us.
We can start the second phase of the plan."
Guanyin replied to Kou Shanren with a smile.
"Bodhisattva is wise. I will arrange it immediately."
Kou Shanren nodded in agreement and then hurried off to make arrangements.
After Kou Shanren left, Guanyin got up and went to the Buddhist hall in the backyard, and began to chant scriptures.
Although Guanyin seemed to be chanting scriptures, that was not the case. The Buddhist hall was an arrangement for her to contact the Western Paradise.
Guanyin seized a body and had no magic power, so she could only use the arrangements in the Buddhist hall to contact the Western Paradise.
But this arrangement was very clever, and even Chu Hao didn't notice it.
Guanyin secretly spoke to Tathagata through the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall.
"Buddha, we can start the second layer of the law!"
And the Tathagata Buddha in the Western Paradise nodded in satisfaction when he heard Guanyin say this.
"Order it to deepen the power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas' Vows, and open the second layer of the law, so that Chu Hao and Tang Seng and his group can tremble under the law."
Tathagata Buddha laughed loudly, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.
At this moment, Tang Seng and his group were camping in the wild, trying to meditate and restore their cultivation.
But soon they felt something was wrong, because the spiritual energy in Diling County seemed unable to be absorbed by them, as if there was a force of resistance.
"This inability to absorb spiritual energy means we can't restore our cultivation."
"Damn Western Paradise, this arrangement is too insidious."
"If we can't restore our cultivation, it will be difficult to cope with sudden situations."
The four of them were very helpless. Just as they were discussing what to do, a change suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was already night, but the sky began to emit light, and it was golden light.
As the light became brighter and brighter, a golden Buddha shadow also appeared in the sky.
This Buddha shadow was the color of a golden body, and its appearance was the same as Tathagata Buddha. It can be said that this was a golden body projection of him.
Looking at the golden body projection of Tathagata Buddha, Tang Seng and his group were a little surprised.
"What trick is Western Paradise up to again?"
"I think this is aimed at us."
"I'm afraid Tathagata Buddha is using all his ingenuity. There must be something unusual about this."
Just as the four of them were discussing, the mouth of the golden body projection suddenly moved, and a burst of sound began to come out.
It was a burst of chanting sounds, which, although not loud, resounded throughout the Diling Mountain.
"Damn it, this chanting sound is so disturbing."
Tang Seng was the first to react. This chanting sound seemed to be able to penetrate his body, rush into his mind, and slowly obliterate some thoughts that were not conducive to Western Paradise.
Forcibly changing the thoughts and consciousness in the brain would naturally make people feel extremely uncomfortable.
After a while, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the other two also had similar feelings, and they couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands.
But this chanting sound seemed to be able to reach the mind directly, and simply covering the ears was of no use.
Originally, their cultivation was almost exhausted and could not be restored. In addition, with the suppression of the chanting sound, the four of them were extremely uncomfortable.
Not only them, but even Chu Hao, who was in another corner of Diling County at this moment, also had some uncomfortable reactions.
Chu Hao looked at the golden body projection of Tathagata Buddha in the sky. This kind of golden body projection was not an ordinary spiritual power projection.
It was formed by borrowing the power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas' Vows in Diling County, and was transformed by the rules, so Chu Hao had no way to deal with it.
But Chu Hao's situation was better than that of Tang Seng and his group. His cultivation was profound, and the chanting sound had very little effect on him.
"Even so, if it takes a long time, I will also be disturbed. This move by Western Paradise is indeed vicious."
"It seems that I must speed up the plan, otherwise Tang Seng and his group may be brainwashed by this chanting sound."
As Chu Hao spoke, he accelerated his search speed.
What he was looking for was Maitreya Buddha, as well as the housekeeper and the Second Madam.
Although the three of them had escaped, their situation was the same as that of Tang Seng and his group. They were also bound by the rules transformed by the Ten Thousand Buddhas' Vows.
So these three would definitely not be able to escape Diling County. They should be hiding carefully somewhere.
Their hiding was naturally not to avoid Chu Hao and Tang Seng and his group, but mainly to guard against Western Paradise, so the three of them must have used invisibility magic tools to hide, and even Chu Hao could not feel their location.
Chu Hao accelerated his search speed and headed towards another corner.
In a corner of Diling County, Maitreya Buddha, dressed in a black robe, was hiding inside a cave.
After he escaped, he found that he could not leave Diling County, so he had to find this cave to hide in, and set up a hidden formation to prevent the people of Western Paradise from noticing.
Although Maitreya Buddha had already told Demon Emperor Chu Jin about this through a letter.
But because the situation in Diling County was strange, even Chu Jin did not dare to act rashly, so he could only let Maitreya Buddha hide and pay attention to the development of the situation.
The appearance of Tathagata's golden body projection and the chanting sound made even Maitreya Buddha feel extremely uncomfortable.
He could only use his cultivation to resist, so as to prevent his thoughts and consciousness from being invaded by the chanting sound.
Besides Maitreya Buddha, there were also two people hiding in a courtyard in Diling County.
It was the housekeeper and the Second Madam. These two were in a similar situation to Maitreya Buddha, except that they had found this deserted courtyard to live in.
"Your Excellency, what should we do?"
The Second Madam said to the housekeeper.
But the housekeeper had now changed his appearance. He was tall and burly, wearing a golden crown on his head, and looked like a king.
