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

#2221 - Tang Seng is a good disciple

"Tang Sanzang, explain yourself clearly!" asked the Tathagata Buddha.

"It's like this, I pretended to be bewitched by a demon in order to cooperate with the Western Heaven's plan, and that's why I fled.

However, during the escape, the cunning demon ran away. This disciple's magic power is low, and I encountered the Demon Clan and was captured by them.

I must thank the Buddha and the Western Heaven for attacking the Demon Clan and rescuing me. Only then was this disciple fortunate enough to escape from the Demon Clan and return to the capital of Tianzhu.

Since the Western Heaven rescued this disciple in such a way, this disciple will naturally be even more loyal to the Western Heaven and will definitely complete the great Western Journey!"

Tang Sanzang explained to the Tathagata Buddha.

"So, all of this is a misunderstanding between you and Guanyin?"

The Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but look at Guanyin. Guanyin pushed the responsibility onto Tang Sanzang, and now Tang Sanzang is pushing it back.

It has become a situation where each holds their own view, making it difficult even for the Tathagata Buddha to judge.

Guanyin felt extremely aggrieved in her heart. If the responsibility were to be placed on her head, it wouldn't be as simple as a slap in the face.

"Tang Sanzang, you need to stop quibbling. You said you were cooperating with the Western Heaven, so why did you, master and disciples, beat to death and injure so many Buddhas of the Western Heaven?"

Guanyin roared at Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples attacked the Buddhas several times, killing and injuring countless Buddhas. In Guanyin's view, this point cannot be shirked.

"Bodhisattva, you can't say that. This disciple is following the Buddha's instructions to journey west, and I must experience tribulations along the way.

Those Buddhas were arranged here by the Bodhisattva. This humble monk believes that this is where the tribulations lie, so I can only attack them.

Those Buddhas were also trying to kill our master and disciples, so we could only beat them to death or injure them. This is also a matter of helplessness, and you can't blame us for not showing mercy."

As Tang Sanzang spoke, he shed tears of grievance. His acting skills were quite impressive.

"Yes, Buddha, you asked us to experience tribulations, but you didn't tell us the specific information about the tribulations, so it's easy to misunderstand."

"Guanyin's design is too clever, we simply can't guess the specific arrangements."

"If we are to be questioned in this way, we will be wronged to death."

Sun Wukong and the other two also cooperated with Tang Sanzang, shouting grievances loudly at the Tathagata Buddha.

"This… Buddha, I was acting according to the plan. This situation cannot be blamed on me."

Even Guanyin, under the explanation and grievances of Tang Sanzang and his disciples, didn't know how to explain it.

"Hmph, idiot! You shouldn't have arranged things so complicatedly, which caused such a misunderstanding."

"Buddha, we master and disciples did not participate in Chu Hao's affairs. Chu Hao's actions have nothing to do with us.

Moreover, Chu Hao's strength is so powerful that even Guanyin is not his opponent. Even if we master and disciples wanted to stop him, we couldn't."

Tang Sanzang immediately said to the Tathagata Buddha. This explanation was naturally reasonable.

"Let's not talk about Chu Hao's affairs for the time being."

The Tathagata Buddha waved his hand in response.

Even the Tathagata Buddha had no way to deal with Chu Hao. If he were to dwell on Chu Hao's issue, it would be destined to never be clarified.

"Tang Sanzang, why are you here?"

The Tathagata Buddha could only change his tone and say to Tang Sanzang and the others.

"After this disciple returned to the capital of Tianzhu, the capital of Tianzhu was too chaotic. This disciple waited in the capital of Tianzhu for a long time, but saw no progress.

Therefore, this disciple felt that the great Western Journey was important, so I led my disciples to travel west first, and that's how we arrived here."

Tang Sanzang replied to the Tathagata Buddha, appearing to attach great importance to the great Western Journey.

"Very good, you are so loyal to the great Western Journey, you should be commended. Let's forget about what happened before for the time being."

The Tathagata Buddha could only do so. Even if Tang Sanzang was really responsible, with such a performance at this time, he could only let it go for the time being.

"You continue your journey west."

The Tathagata Buddha replied to Tang Sanzang and the others, signaling Guanyin and the others to leave with him.

"Are we just leaving like this?"

Guanyin naturally felt extremely aggrieved in her heart. Tang Sanzang pushed all the responsibility onto her, how could she let it go?

"Hmph, you're good for nothing but spoiling things. What else can you do?"

The Tathagata Buddha scolded Guanyin.

Faced with the Tathagata's scolding, Guanyin could only lower her head and remain silent, feeling so aggrieved that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Now that Tang Sanzang and the others have already arrived here and are about to reach Yuhua City, but we haven't made any arrangements yet, we must return to the Western Heaven to discuss."

There was another reason why the Tathagata Buddha let it go, and that was the progress of Tang Sanzang and the others' Western Journey.

After the Tianzhu Kingdom, it is Yuhua City, which was originally the location of the next tribulation that the Tathagata planned.

However, the events in the capital of Tianzhu led to a lot of right and wrong, and the Tathagata was also imprisoned, which left the Tathagata with no time to arrange the next tribulation.

Of course, this is also why Chu Hao asked Tang Sanzang and the others to hurry west. In this way, even the Tathagata would not be able to do anything to Tang Sanzang.

Seeing the Tathagata Buddha and the others leave, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong immediately changed their expressions.

Just now they were aggrieved and pitiful, but now they immediately laughed loudly, their expressions very smug and happy.

"Master's eloquence is still good, a few words made Guanyin confused."

"Guanyin's aggrieved look, even Old Pig feels a little sorry for her."

"The Tathagata Buddha was also made unable to question us by our acting skills."

Sun Wukong and the others all said with a wicked smile, and they all gave a thumbs up for Tang Sanzang's eloquence and acting skills.

"This master is just improvising according to the rhetoric previously discussed with Immortal Chu Hao. These are all Immortal Chu Hao's calculations.

Immortal Chu Hao is really thoughtful, he calculated that the Tathagata Buddha would come to question us, and he calculated that we would push the responsibility to Guanyin, and Guanyin would not be able to explain."

When Tang Sanzang spoke of Chu Hao, his eyes were full of respect and admiration.

"Guanyin likes to be clever, but in the end, she is mistaken by her own cleverness."

"If she didn't play tricks, it would be really difficult to push all the responsibility to her."

"How can Guanyin's little conspiracy compare to Immortal Chu Hao's great wisdom!"

Sun Wukong and the others also said one after another, and their hearts were also full of admiration for Chu Hao.

"I wonder where Immortal Chu Hao is, why doesn't he travel west with us?"

Tang Sanzang asked Sun Wukong and the others.

"My brother said that we can play freely below."

"Boss wants to help us contain the Western Heaven and make important arrangements."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie replied to Tang Sanzang, but Chu Hao didn't explain it clearly to them, so they didn't know the specific situation.

"Okay, then we will act according to Immortal Chu Hao's arrangements."

Tang Sanzang nodded to Sun Wukong and the others, and led the three to continue their journey west.
