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

#2299 - The old capital of the West

In the Western Paradise, within the Leiyin Temple, the Tathagata Buddha was constantly observing the situation in Diling County with his Buddha-eye supernatural power. He felt extremely satisfied with everything that was happening there.

Especially when he saw Chu Hao failing to break the rules and being suppressed, the Tathagata Buddha laughed wildly and jumped up from his newly constructed lotus throne.

He even shouted loudly,

"Chu Hao, ah Chu Hao, you have this day too!"

Overjoyed, the Tathagata Buddha forgot that he was still in the Great Hall of Scripture, with the big shots and Buddhas of the Western Paradise present.

When those big shots and Buddhas of the Western Paradise saw the Tathagata Buddha acting like this, they thought the Buddha had suddenly gone mad.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the Buddha is sick?"

"Nonsense, the Buddha has a non-mortal body, how could he get sick? It must be a mental illness."

Hearing the Buddhas and big shots below discussing, the Tathagata Buddha finally realized his gaffe and hurriedly tried to cover it up with embarrassment.

"This seat was just silently reciting scriptures, and when I reached a wonderful point, I was uncontrollably overjoyed. This is a baptism of the Buddhist scriptures, don't be alarmed."

The Tathagata Buddha said, finding a rather profound excuse.

So inattentive! I sentence you to sweep the Leiyin Temple gate for a month, no, a year!"

Under the Tathagata Buddha's intimidation, with the unfortunate example of the previous fool, the big shots and Buddhas below all lowered their heads and dared not ask any further questions.

The Tathagata Buddha waved his hand, signaling the big shots and Buddhas to leave.

After everyone had dispersed, the Tathagata Buddha laughed loudly again, as he had been holding it in for a long time.

You must know, from the beginning of the Journey to the West, how many times had the Tathagata Buddha and the Western Paradise suffered losses at the hands of Chu Hao, and how many magical treasures and elixirs had been swindled away by Chu Hao.

Even the Tathagata Buddha's lotus throne, given to the Lonely Garden, had been taken away by Chu Hao. This was a great humiliation for the Tathagata Buddha.

The Tathagata Buddha had always been thinking about revenge, but Chu Hao's strength was formidable and he was extremely clever, so he had no way to start.

And this time, he was trapped together with Chu Hao within the borders of Diling County, unable to leave.

Seeing Chu Hao's appearance of failing to break the rules and being defeated, the Tathagata Buddha felt a sense of satisfaction from avenging a great hatred.

"Chu Hao, no matter how great your abilities are, this layout of Diling County has used up the old capital of the Western Paradise.

The power of the vows of countless Buddhas throughout history forms a rule that can only be broken by a true Primordial Sage within the Three Realms.

For this, I even used the foundation stone of Mount Ling, forming the Qiankun Cage of Diling County. You have no way to go to heaven and no door to enter on earth."

As the Tathagata Buddha spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little heartache. Using the old capital was a painful decision for him, and he was very reluctant.

However, seeing the current effect, the Tathagata Buddha felt that everything was worth it. He could finally raise his eyebrows and exhale.

"Unless Tang Seng and the others are willing to kneel and worship my Buddha's golden body, you will not be able to leave Diling County.

No, even if Tang Seng and the others kneel and worship, I will only let Tang Seng and the others out. I want to trap Chu Hao there for ten thousand years.

Let him endure the pain of being bound, and finally have to bow down to me and beg me to let him go."

The Tathagata Buddha felt delighted in his heart, and directly hummed the Buddhist scriptures as a little tune.

In fact, there was another person who felt the same way as the Tathagata Buddha, and that person was the Western Paradise's first strategist, the Guanyin Bodhisattva.
