#2006 - The people were furious
Everything was as Chu Hao had predicted. Tathagata and the Western Paradise really did resort to such a despicable tactic of sacrificing pawns to protect the chariot.
"Chu Hao, since you say it's not like that, do you have any other evidence?"
The Jade Emperor immediately supported Chu Hao by asking, which was actually just a coordinated act to get Chu Hao to reveal the truth.
"No need for me to say more, everyone will know when they see it with their own eyes!"
After Chu Hao finished speaking, he waved his hand at Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang, having received Chu Hao's signal, took a knife from a soldier beside him and slashed at Si Tukong, who was already under control.
This scene immediately stunned everyone. Tang Sanzang actually took a knife to kill someone.
"Preposterous! Stop him! Tang Sanzang, you are a disciple of my Buddhist school, how dare you openly break the precept against killing?"
Tathagata Buddha questioned Tang Sanzang nervously, but the real purpose was to prevent Tang Sanzang from killing Si Tukong.
However, Tang Sanzang completely ignored Tathagata Buddha's obstruction, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
With a swift strike, Si Tukong's head fell to the ground. His actions were so clean and decisive that even Sun Wukong and his companions looked at their master with new eyes.
The Jade Emperor also looked at Tang Sanzang with confusion, wondering why Chu Hao had asked Tang Sanzang to kill Si Tukong.
"Although this person deserves to die, Tang Sanzang, what exactly do you mean by this?"
"Esteemed celestial deities, please take a look."
Tang Sanzang pointed to Si Tukong's body, which had been separated into two parts. At the moment Si Tukong's body fell, it actually transformed into the appearance of a Buddha.
Everyone was stunned once again. They never expected that Si Tukong was also a member of the Western Paradise. The Western Paradise's control over Fengxian County was truly painstaking.
"This person is named Jingkong. Like Jingguang, he is an informant stationed here by the Western Paradise. So, how could this matter be something that Jingguang did alone? Would the Western Paradise not have participated in the planning?"
At this time, Chu Hao explained Si Tukong's identity to the crowd, making things even clearer to everyone.
"Buddha, it seems that what Chu Hao said is correct. Your Western Paradise cannot deny this matter."
The Jade Emperor was very satisfied with Chu Hao's arrangement. Now, no matter how cunning Tathagata Buddha was, he couldn't shirk responsibility.
"The Western Paradise actually plotted our Fengxian County's rebellion."
"This is clearly treating the people of our Fengxian County like ants and fools."
"The Western Paradise is bullying us too much, we cannot let them go."
The people of Fengxian County were even more indignant about this, and once again shouted and cursed at Tathagata and the Western Paradise.
Moreover, unlike before, this time the Western Paradise's crime was confirmed: bringing disaster to Fengxian County and attempting to suppress the people of Fengxian County through a rebellion.
The people could not tolerate this in any way. Under the surge of anger, they began to rush towards the sacrificial altar.
Faced with so many angry and vengeful people, Tathagata Buddha also sensed that something was amiss. The monks of the Western Paradise were even more terrified.
With the Jade Emperor and the deities of the Heavenly Court present, Tathagata and his followers could not attack the mortals. If they allowed them to rush over and beat and scold them,
although the mortals did not have the ability to kill or injure the Buddhas and immortals, the humiliation would be enough to make them suffer.
"Our Western Paradise still has important matters to attend to, farewell."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tathagata Buddha decided that running away was the best option.
Before the angry people could rush over, Tathagata Buddha led Guanyin and the others, riding on clouds, and quickly fled away, looking extremely disheveled.
"Hahaha, this Tathagata and the Western Paradise, are like stray dogs. I am very pleased."
The Jade Emperor saw the scene of Tathagata Buddha and the monks of the Western Paradise fleeing in a panic, and laughed happily, his mouth almost unable to close.
"Jade Emperor, the Western Paradise dared to slander us and plot conspiracies, they are truly asking for it."
"County Governor, why don't you pay your respects to the Jade Emperor?"
At this time, Chu Hao hinted to the County Governor.
The County Governor was naturally not a fool. Now that the Jade Emperor and the deities of the Heavenly Court were in a good mood, if he took this opportunity to ask the Jade Emperor to resolve the rain problem in Fengxian County, it would be most appropriate.
"Your Majesty, the people of my Fengxian County have suffered humiliation from the Western Paradise for three years, lacking food and clothing and struggling to survive. I beg Your Majesty to send down sweet rain and bless the people of Fengxian County."
The County Governor bowed down to the Jade Emperor and pleaded.
"We beg Your Majesty to send down sweet rain and bless Fengxian County."
The people also followed the County Governor in bowing down and shouting their prayers to the Jade Emperor.
At this time, the Jade Emperor was in a comfortable mood. Not to mention small matters like sending down rain, he naturally agreed immediately.
"I and the Heavenly Court control the Three Realms. The matter of Fengxian County was secretly orchestrated by the Western Paradise. Now that it has been clarified, I sympathize with the suffering of the people of Fengxian County and will ensure that Fengxian County has good weather in the future."
The Jade Emperor said to the County Governor and the people of the entire county. This official jargon was also the Jade Emperor's usual means of winning people's hearts.
"The matter of Fengxian County is finally settled."
Tang Sanzang felt that the matter should be coming to an end after hearing the Jade Emperor agree to send rain to Fengxian County.
"I'm afraid not. In my opinion, we still need to stay in Fengxian County for a while. I'm afraid the disaster of Fengxian County is about to come."
Chu Hao shook his head at Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang thought this matter was too simple.
The Western Paradise's conspiracy was exposed and revealed to the people. Tathagata's plan failed again, and he also lost face in front of the Heavenly Court.
This was a great humiliation for Tathagata and the Western Paradise. How could they let it go so easily? The Western Paradise may not be able to easily have a direct conflict with the Heavenly Court, but they had many vicious methods to deal with mortals.
At this time, Tathagata and the monks of the Western Paradise had already returned to Leiyin Temple, all looking disheveled.
"Damn Chu Hao, damn Heavenly Court, damn Fengxian County."
Tathagata angrily roared and cursed. He had never lost so much face before. If he didn't get it back, he would have no face to continue.
"Buddha, in my opinion, Chu Hao is still secretly playing tricks."
"Even Tang Sanzang has been led astray and has begun to oppose our Western Paradise."
"If we don't give Fengxian County a little something to see, our Western Paradise will have no credibility at all."
Not only Tathagata, but also Guanyin and other big shots of the Western Paradise had lost their reputation and were all extremely angry, harboring great hatred for Fengxian County.
"A mere Fengxian County, a group of people like ants, they still don't know the power of our Western Paradise. I will turn Fengxian County into a dead land."
A strong and violent aura appeared in Tathagata's eyes, and his whole person seemed to be blackened.
"Don't they want rain? When the Heavenly Court sends rain for them, we will help them a little more and let them drink their fill at once."
Tathagata instructed Guanyin beside him.
"Buddha is wise."
Guanyin naturally knew what Tathagata meant. This was to inflict disaster and divine punishment on Fengxian County.
