#1719 - Was it intentional or accidental?
Western Paradise, Great Thunderclap Temple.
This time, the Buddhas were no longer filled with optimism as before, but instead wore solemn and gloomy expressions.
Of course, not everyone was like this; it was mainly at the request of the Tathagata Buddha.
The Tathagata Buddha had begun to be superstitious. He realized that every time he was happy, he would receive a disappointing report of bad news from Guanyin Bodhisattva.
So, the Tathagata Buddha had learned his lesson. If he could just control his emotions a little, perhaps he could receive good news?
You can't say that the Tathagata Buddha was superstitious; he himself was the embodiment of superstition.
The main reason was that this matter was too important. The Eastern Buddha, one of the Three Buddhas of the Western Paradise, had disappeared. A large number of powerful individuals were sent out to search, but they couldn't find him. This worried the Tathagata Buddha greatly.
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva was still running with small steps, just like when she reported bad news before.
The Tathagata Buddha's heart tightened. Could it be that the same bad news events were going to be repeated?
However, when Guanyin Bodhisattva opened her mouth, she stunned all the Buddhas present.
"Reporting to my Buddha, something terrible has happened..."
The Tathagata Buddha's heart felt like it had been grabbed by an invisible hand, and his eyes showed a hint of fear and despair. No, don't do this again!
However, the next second, he heard Guanyin Bodhisattva look around, and her tone changed.
"Actually, it's good news! The Eastern Buddha has been found!"
The Buddhas, who were already mentally prepared to accept any bad news, were stunned when they heard Guanyin Bodhisattva say this.
The Tathagata Buddha excitedly slapped the table.
"What did you say! Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, is this true? Is the Eastern Buddha alright? How is he now?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva had a stiff smile on her face.
"He's doing extremely well..."
The Tathagata Buddha said excitedly:
"I knew that the Eastern Buddha was loyal to the Western Paradise and had no ulterior motives!
Then what are you waiting for? Quickly let the Eastern Buddha return to the Lesser Thunderclap Temple. Next, we need the Eastern Buddha to become the existence that subdues the evil nemesis. He is the greatest and most righteous Demon-Subduing Buddha!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression became even stiffer, and she hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Well, the Eastern Buddha is currently, um, in the Lesser Thunderclap Temple."
The Tathagata Buddha laughed loudly.
"As expected of the Eastern Buddha, he is indeed loyal to the Western Paradise. He has arrived at the Lesser Thunderclap Temple on time, subduing demons and eliminating evil, which is a great blessing for the Western Paradise!
Oh, right, since the Eastern Buddha has already returned, then wouldn't that be the end of the matter? Let's just pretend nothing happened, hahaha..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva hesitated for a moment, but still said with great hesitation:
"Well, he did return to the Lesser Thunderclap Temple, but, he is not subduing demons and eliminating evil now, he is the demon."
Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression showed a hint of nervousness.
The Tathagata Buddha was stunned in place when he heard this news, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Even the Buddhas present were dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? The Eastern Buddha had become the Eastern Demon Ancestor?!
What kind of ridiculous logic is this!
Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't dare to hide anything and told everything she saw in the Lower Realm's Lesser Thunderclap Temple.
The more she spoke, the more horrified and unbelievable the expressions of the Buddhas present became.
The dignified Eastern Buddha had actually become a powerful figure of the Demon Race!
This is too outrageous!
Wasn't he just punished to feed the turtles in the South Sea? How did he donate himself!
He even became the Eastern Demon Ancestor!
So, what Guanyin Bodhisattva said just now about the Eastern Buddha being very well...
How could he not be well? After defecting to the Demon Race, the Eastern Buddha's strength rose steadily. Even his broken arm was healed, and he even possessed a considerable force. This was already powerful enough, and he could be considered a king of the mountain.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing now is that the rebellious Eastern Buddha directly plundered Tang Sanzang and others, making Tang Sanzang and his disciples four hostages!
This time, the tribulation has come true. The original tribulation was just used to trick merit.
Now, the Eastern Buddha is personally doing evil, and I'm afraid no one has the guts to take this merit!
The scene was dead silent.
Everyone stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Buddhas' eyes seemed to be questioning whether Guanyin Bodhisattva deliberately or accidentally kept a part of the good news in this bad news?
Guanyin Bodhisattva: Deliberately! (Proud)
There was a long silence in the Great Thunderclap Temple.
Finally, a Buddha opened his mouth and asked:
"My Buddha, what should we do now?"
The Tathagata Buddha gritted his teeth, as if he had eaten nine turns of fatty intestines.
"I don't know either, ask her!"
The Tathagata Buddha pointed angrily at Guanyin Bodhisattva, obviously because Guanyin Bodhisattva had deliberately processed the message just now, making the Tathagata Buddha feel the malice from Guanyin Bodhisattva.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva was also very considerate of the Tathagata Buddha. She directly opened her mouth and said:
"My Buddha, I have already thought of a countermeasure. Oh, no, it's that Lord Prison God has already prepared a feasible plan for our Western Paradise."
After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, everyone present was stunned again, looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva with shocked expressions.
The Tathagata Buddha was almost crying.
"My good Bodhisattva, what are you talking about! We can't do that! Could it be that even you want to join the Prison God's team and become the Prison God's concubine?
That's Prison God Chu Hao! Can he be a person who thinks about the Western Paradise? If he opens his mouth, he will definitely be looting!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva showed an awkward smile on her face.
"Buddha, you are right, but, now, besides what Prison God Chu Hao said, what other choices can we make?"
The Tathagata Buddha excitedly patted the lotus seat.
"Which point of our Western Paradise is inferior to that Law Enforcement Hall? Is there anything that our Western Paradise can't solve ourselves? We have to ask that Chu Hao for help!
I have a solution. We have already agreed with the Heavenly Court that during this tribulation, all the gods of the heavens need to stand up and save Tang Sanzang in the Lesser Thunderclap Temple, but they must be defeated, and then we will take action to win cleanly and slap the faces of the gods of the heavens.
Yes, just do as I say, let the people of the Heavenly Court take action first! I want to see if this Prison God Chu Hao is loyal to the Heavenly Court! If the gods of the Heavenly Court attack the Lesser Thunderclap Temple, will the Prison God take action!"
The Tathagata Buddha spoke very domineeringly.
However, a faint voice came from outside the venue.
"The premise is, you have to be able to call them."
