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

#2330 - Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is coming

At this moment in the Western Paradise, the Tathagata Buddha and others were also paying attention to the situation in Diling County. When the Tathagata Buddha saw Chu Hao deterring the demons and saving the people of Diling County, his face darkened.

"Chu Hao has saved the people of Diling County and has already begun to establish prestige in the hearts of the people, which will be very unfavorable to us.

We cannot allow Chu Hao and Tang Seng to continue to cause trouble in Diling County. We must take action immediately to control the situation in Diling County."

The Tathagata Buddha said to Guanyin and the others beside him.

At the same time, beneath the hell, within the world of Five Turbidities and Evil, Ksitigarbha had already summoned the six great envoys and gathered tens of thousands of Shura monks.

Ksitigarbha received the decree from the Tathagata Buddha, ordering him to deal with Tang Seng and his group of four, as well as Chu Hao, which made him very excited.

Regarding Chu Hao, Ksitigarbha had previously suffered a loss at Chu Hao's hands, and even his world of Five Turbidities and Evil was almost overturned by Chu Hao.

Ksitigarbha had always held such grudges in his heart, hoping for an opportunity to retaliate against Chu Hao.

And now his chance had come. Although he had heard that Chu Hao's strength had improved rapidly, Ksitigarbha also knew the bottom line of Diling County.

"Chu Hao, it's really like heaven has a road you don't take, and hell has no gate but you come to crash it yourself. This time, I will definitely make you kneel in front of me and tremble."

Ksitigarbha said with a triumphant laugh.

"My Ksitigarbha army is assembled!"

Diting said to Ksitigarbha.

"Very good, set off!"

Ksitigarbha put on the air of a commander and ordered.

In Diling County, those demons were deterred by Chu Hao and settled down in the wild areas outside Diling County, no longer harassing the people.

For the people, they would not take the initiative to go out of the city to provoke those demons, and Diling County finally returned to peace.

Tang Seng and his companions rested in the Kou residence for two days, and with Chu Hao's help, their cultivation had slightly recovered, giving them some self-protection ability.

Although Diling County seemed peaceful, it was actually the eve of a great storm.

Because forces from all sides had gathered around Diling County, the entire Diling County had become the focus of attention in the Three Realms.

At this moment, Ksitigarbha led the Ksitigarbha army to appear in Diling County, and the location where they appeared was the Kou residence.

"Tang Seng, quickly come out to meet this deity!"

After Ksitigarbha appeared, he shouted to Tang Seng and the others inside the Kou residence.

Hearing such a voice, Chu Hao couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect that it would be Ksitigarbha who came. This old geezer is out of luck this time, coming to take the blame for the Western Paradise.

You act according to the plan we have set, and I will finally take action to clean up this stray-haired Ksitigarbha!"

Chu Hao said to Tang Seng and the others.

Tang Seng and his group nodded, immediately got up, and came to the front yard of the Kou residence to meet Ksitigarbha.

"Greetings to Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha!"

Tang Seng and his group of four came to Ksitigarbha and appeared very respectful and polite, bowing and paying respects to Ksitigarbha.

Seeing Tang Seng and his group in such an attitude, Ksitigarbha couldn't help but nod.

In Ksitigarbha's view, Tang Seng and his group must have been trapped in Diling County, and due to the influence of the Brahmanic chants, they already had signs of surrender in their hearts.

In this situation, Ksitigarbha only needed to spend a little effort to brainwash Tang Seng and his group of four, making them pawns of the Western Paradise.

This was a great achievement for Ksitigarbha.

Moreover, although Ksitigarbha nominally belonged to the Western Paradise and listened to the orders of the Western Paradise and the Tathagata Buddha, he was, after all, unique.

Ksitigarbha's strength was no less than that of the Dipankara Buddha. If he were ranked in the Western Paradise, he could also be among the top two or three.

"The Western Paradise has always wanted to conquer Tang Seng and his group, but has never been able to do so. If I can do this, wouldn't that prove that I am even more powerful than the Tathagata Buddha?

In the future, won't my name, Ksitigarbha, overshadow Dipankara and the Tathagata, and it is not impossible to become the leader of the Western Paradise in the future."

Ksitigarbha secretly thought to himself triumphantly.

"Tang Seng, do you know your crime?"

Ksitigarbha then sternly questioned Tang Seng and his group.

"Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, I don't know what crime we disciples have committed?"

Tang Seng pretended to be aggrieved and defended, he naturally knew what Ksitigarbha was referring to!

"Hmph, you disciples, why didn't you complete the Merit Dharma Assembly as Kou Hong said? This led to some abnormal situations in Diling County, and you disciples were also affected.

Isn't this affecting the Journey to the West plan, affecting the peace and stability of Diling County? How dare you say you are not guilty?"

Ksitigarbha lectured and reprimanded Tang Seng and the others.

Tang Seng and the others had long anticipated such a situation and naturally wanted a countermeasure.

"Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, please be aware that it is not that we are unwilling to complete the Merit Dharma Assembly, but that Kou Hong harbors evil intentions.

He is disrespectful to us disciples and even designed to frame us, causing us to be trapped in prison. This thief is truly the head of all evil!"

Tang Seng defended to Ksitigarbha.

"Yes, that old thief Kou Hong is really hateful."

"That old Kou Hong nominally respects the Western Paradise, but is actually seeking benefits for himself."

"This old fellow even incited the people to launch personal attacks against us Journey to the West personnel, attempting to kill us."

Sun Wukong and the other two immediately echoed, their countermeasure was to push all the responsibility onto Kou Shanren.

And that Kou Shanren had no chance to defend himself at this moment and could only take the blame for Tang Seng and the others.

"Enough, let's just let this matter go."

Ksitigarbha's task was to brainwash Tang Seng and the others, making them disciples surrender, and not to question them.

So even if he knew that Tang Seng and the others were shirking responsibility, he would not argue with them on this issue.

"Tang Seng, you disciples are the core personnel of the Journey to the West plan, and you are the Chosen Ones selected by the Western Paradise.

You should do your best for the Western Paradise and complete the Journey to the West plan, and you should not be delayed by some trivial matters.

Since this deity has arrived, then you should complete the Merit Dharma Assembly in front of this deity, which can also be regarded as expressing your disciples' heart of reverence for the Buddha."

Ksitigarbha said to Tang Seng and the others, although he said so, he was actually going to use his magic when Tang Seng and the others worshiped and paid respects at the Dharma Assembly.

To affect the minds of Tang Seng and the others, thereby losing their consciousness to resist the Western Paradise and completely becoming pawns of the Western Paradise.

If Tang Seng and the others refused, then he would directly use tough methods to capture Tang Seng and the others.

"What Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha said is very true, we are willing to listen to your instructions."

Tang Seng and the others did not refuse, but instead looked respectful and obedient, which surprised Ksitigarbha.
