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

#2420 - The Great Contribution of Guanyin

Guanyin, through a teleportation talisman, directly teleported from the Demon Clan's lair to the Western Paradise Leiyin Temple, appearing in the main hall of the Leiyin Temple.

At this time, Buddha Tathagata and a group of big shots from the Western Paradise were preaching and expounding the Dharma. Guanyin's sudden appearance startled many people.

"Why did Guanyin suddenly appear here?"

"This traitor of the Western Paradise dares to appear in the Leiyin Temple's main hall."

"Guanyin, you wicked thief, you actually dare to return to the Western Paradise."

Guanyin's use of a self-inflicted injury scheme to infiltrate the Demon Clan was only known to Buddha Tathagata alone; the rest of the Western Paradise big shots were unaware.

In their view, Guanyin had truly betrayed the Western Paradise and gone to join the Demon Clan.

Now, seeing Guanyin suddenly appear in the Leiyin Temple's main hall, they naturally denounced her with stern voices.

Especially the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara, Guanyin had caused him to lose the Lingxu Lamp, and he truly hated Guanyin to the point of gnashing his teeth.

"Guanyin, today I must dismember you into eight pieces!"

The Ancient Buddha Dipamkara flew into a rage and violently struck towards Guanyin with a palm.

"This…"

Guanyin had just teleported over and was still somewhat dazed. Seeing the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara about to kill her with a palm, she was naturally shocked.

In a panic, she hid directly behind Buddha Tathagata, not daring to show her face.

"Buddha, please quickly explain to them, otherwise, I will be ganged up on!"

Guanyin pleaded to Buddha Tathagata.

Buddha Tathagata nodded to Guanyin and then turned to explain to the group of Western Paradise big shots.

"You must not misunderstand. In fact, Guanyin has not betrayed the Western Paradise. She was acting under my secret order, pretending to betray the Western Paradise and go undercover in the Demon Clan.

Now, I am clarifying for her. In fact, Guanyin has always been loyal to our Western Paradise, so you must not attack her again."

With Buddha Tathagata vouching for Guanyin, those Western Paradise big shots naturally had no choice but to believe it.

"So that's how it is. The Buddha is truly wise. We didn't see through any flaws."

"The Buddha's divine strategy is profound and his plans are brilliant. We are truly far from being able to match him."

"Guanyin was dispatched by the Buddha and can be considered a meritorious official."

The Western Paradise big shots flattered Buddha Tathagata in unison, which was equivalent to acknowledging Guanyin's return.

But there was only one person who still refused to acknowledge Guanyin, and that was the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara.

It was Guanyin who caused the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara to lose the Lingxu Lamp, and that Lingxu Lamp was the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara's lifeline.

The Ancient Buddha Dipamkara was still extremely hostile towards Guanyin.

"Guanyin, no matter what, you must compensate me for my Lingxu Lamp, otherwise, I will not let you off!"

Hearing the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara say this, Guanyin was not afraid at all.

Because Buddha Tathagata had already vouched for her identity, she was already the number one strategist of the Western Paradise, the favorite in front of Buddha Tathagata.

With this status, she had the confidence that even if the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara had more resentment, he would not dare to do anything to her.

Of course, there was also one point: Guanyin had helped the Western Paradise accomplish a major event this time, and she felt that she was a meritorious official.

"Ancient Buddha Dipamkara, you should stop dwelling on old scores. Although the Lingxu Lamp is a treasure, you should prioritize the overall situation of the Western Paradise."

Guanyin said to the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara.

"Stop talking nonsense. Why don't you prioritize the overall situation?"

The Ancient Buddha Dipamkara was so angered by Guanyin that his lungs were about to explode, but he really couldn't attack Guanyin anymore.

"How am I not prioritizing the overall situation? For the sake of the Western Paradise's overall situation, I endured humiliation, was chased and killed by you, pretended to betray the Western Paradise, and risked going undercover in the Demon Clan."

"With my wisdom, I provoked the Demon Clan, captured Tang Sanzang and the others, prevented Tang Sanzang and the others from continuing their journey to the west, and bought time for our Western Paradise."

"Don't you think I'm prioritizing the overall situation?"

Guanyin could boast at this time. Regardless of whether it was her credit or not, she took it all upon herself at this moment.

Calculated in this way, she, Guanyin, had made a great contribution to the Western Paradise.

"I was wondering why the Demon Clan suddenly captured Tang Sanzang and the others. So that's how it is."

"I heard that the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu led the heavenly soldiers and generals in a great defeat against the Demon Clan, losing many people."

"Chu Hao led the forces of the Underworld God Hall in a great battle against the Monster Clan and the Demon Clan, and both sides suffered heavy losses. It truly gladdens the hearts of our Western Paradise people."

These matters were all major events in the Three Realms, and the people of the Western Paradise naturally knew about them.

At this time, Guanyin took the credit for herself, and she was able to say a thing or two about it, which made her feel even more proud.

"Hahaha, Guanyin's contribution is not small. She is indeed the strategist of my Western Paradise, the disciple of my Buddha Tathagata.

Guanyin's contribution this time is significant and should be rewarded. As for those old matters before, no one should mention them again.

All of you should take Guanyin as an example, think more about the overall situation of my Western Paradise, and contribute more to my Western Paradise."

Buddha Tathagata said with a hearty laugh. He trusted Guanyin extremely.

The others were still somewhat doubtful about the merits Guanyin had mentioned, but Buddha Tathagata was the first to believe it.

Buddha Tathagata's praise immediately made Guanyin feel infinitely honored, and her status soared.

Guanyin glanced at the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara triumphantly, with an arrogant posture.

"Hmph, who knows how much she's exaggerating here."

Although the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara knew that Guanyin must be exaggerating her merits, Buddha Tathagata had already said so.

He could only swallow his anger about the Lingxu Lamp, but the hatred in his heart for Guanyin not only did not decrease but increased instead.

"Guanyin, you are a meritorious official, come to my side."

Buddha Tathagata said to Guanyin.

Guanyin naturally couldn't ask for more. Being able to stand next to the Buddha in the main hall of the Leiyin Temple was a symbol of status.

"You have returned at the right time. Because you have bought time for our Western Paradise, during this time, we have carefully laid out our plans and carefully planned, and we have already designed a new tribulation.

We can also let go and let Tang Sanzang and the others continue their journey to the west, but there is still one problem here.

We have made an agreement with the Heavenly Court that this new tribulation must be notified to the Heavenly Court. Wouldn't that be equivalent to telling Chu Hao? What do you think should be done about this matter?"

Buddha Tathagata asked Guanyin.

"Buddha, this matter is also simple. Although we must report the layout situation to the Heavenly Court, we can only explain a general idea.

Moreover, three parts are true and seven parts are false. Even if Chu Hao knows this true and false information, he will not be able to distinguish it, and it will be useless even if he knows it."

Guanyin replied to Buddha Tathagata.

"Well, that's right, it's the same as what I thought, but this matter must be handled by a clever and quick-witted person.

Therefore, I have decided to let you go to the Heavenly Court to explain the situation to the Jade Emperor."

Buddha Tathagata said to Guanyin. In Buddha Tathagata's view, Guanyin was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
