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

#1989 - The Jade Emperor came to mediate

Sun Wukong and the others questioned in this way because they had received a hint from Chu Hao that as long as they blamed the disappearance of Tang Seng on the Western Heavens and Tathagata, they would be unable to defend themselves.

"Nonsense! Tang Seng came to the Western Heavens to seek scriptures, so how could we hide him in this Leiyin Temple?"

Tathagata was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices. Sun Wukong and the others were clearly being unreasonable, and they had also turned Leiyin Temple into such a state.

"Buddha, your Buddha eyes can see through the Three Realms, but you can't find the whereabouts of Tang Seng. It's no wonder people are suspicious," Chu Hao said to Tathagata Buddha, his words very clever.

Tathagata is known as all-powerful. If he were to say that his Buddha eyes had failed and he couldn't find Tang Seng, it would undoubtedly be a slap in his own face.

But he really couldn't find Tang Seng's whereabouts and couldn't explain anything to Sun Wukong and the others. This was a dilemma.

"You have caused a great disturbance in my Leiyin Temple and destroyed the treasure, the Luminous Mirror. You must pay the price!"

Tathagata could only change the subject and question Sun Wukong and the other two.

"Tathagata, you must return my master, or we will tear down your Leiyin Temple!"

Sun Wukong and the others insisted that Tathagata return Tang Seng, and as they spoke, they continued to smash Leiyin Temple.

"Chu Hao, this matter is not related to you. Even if you are the Prison God of the Three Realms maintaining order, you have no right to interfere in the affairs of my Western Heavens."

Seeing Sun Wukong and the other two continue to smash Leiyin Temple, Tathagata's heart was bleeding.

This Leiyin Temple was his lair. If Sun Wukong and the others continued to smash it like this, he would probably have to rebuild it.

"Buddha, if this is an internal affair of your Western Heavens, I will definitely not interfere. But now that Tang Seng is missing, you are a suspect. If you can't prove your innocence, shouldn't someone preside over justice?"

Chu Hao shook his head at Tathagata, classifying Tathagata as a suspect, and therefore he had no right to handle the matter.

"Buddha, we must quickly stop them, otherwise the Sutra Depository will be smashed in a moment."

"Yes, we can't get entangled with Chu Hao, we must quickly find a solution."

"Buddha, you must make a quick decision."

The Guanyin and others beside him reminded Tathagata Buddha, now that Leiyin Temple had been half-smashed by Sun Wukong and the other two.

In fact, how could Tathagata not know that he had to resolve it quickly, but with Chu Hao here, it was not easy to handle.

With Tathagata and the main combat power of the Western Heavens joining forces, they might be able to defeat Chu Hao, but Chu Hao's identity was unusual.

The Prison God of the Three Realms represented the Heavenly Court, and Chu Hao came here under the banner of maintaining order, the Heavenly Court would definitely protect him.

"Buddha, in my opinion, we should quickly invite the Jade Emperor here."

Guanyin suggested to Tathagata Buddha, now the only way to quickly resolve the problem was to invite the Jade Emperor.

According to what Chu Hao said, Tathagata was a suspect, so the only one who could make the decision was the Jade Emperor.

Moreover, Chu Hao was the Prison God of the Three Realms, under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor, so he couldn't disobey the Jade Emperor's words.

"Quickly invite the Jade Emperor!"

Tathagata nodded and adopted Guanyin's suggestion.

Guanyin immediately rode the clouds to Wuzhuang Temple to invite the Jade Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Guanyin is about to arrive, are you going?"

Taibai Jinxing asked the Jade Emperor.

"Of course I'm going. Now that the goal has been achieved, I still have to go and clean up the mess."

In fact, the Jade Emperor also had a hand in this matter. He instigated Sun Wukong and the other two. If he didn't go to help clean up the mess, he might be exposed.

Even as they were speaking, Guanyin had already arrived.

"Greetings, Jade Emperor. The situation in the Western Heavens is urgent. Please help to deal with it."

Guanyin saluted the Jade Emperor.

"I am already aware of the matter. Since the Western Heavens is in trouble, how can I sit idly by? Immediately set off for the Western Heavens."

This time, the Jade Emperor could finally put on an act in front of Guanyin and Tathagata, considering it a victory, so he naturally had to be full of momentum.

Soon the Jade Emperor arrived at the Western Heavens. In fact, Tathagata was so anxious that he was about to jump up and down. If the Jade Emperor didn't come, Leiyin Temple would be gone.

"Chu Hao, tell Wukong and the others to stop!"

After the Jade Emperor arrived, he said to Chu Hao from the Nine-Dragon Chariot.

In fact, Chu Hao knew that it was about time. What needed to be smashed had been smashed, and what needed to be robbed had been robbed. Since the Jade Emperor had arrived, it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

At Chu Hao's signal, Sun Wukong and the other two stopped smashing. The anger and resentment in their hearts had also been vented.

"Buddha, although Wukong and the others acted impulsively, what Chu Hao said is also reasonable. Now you are accusing each other, and each of you has your own version of the story. In fact, the matter is difficult to handle."

The Jade Emperor turned to Tathagata Buddha and said, pretending to be very embarrassed.

"Please trouble the Jade Emperor to resolve this matter!"

Tathagata couldn't help but bow his head to the Jade Emperor now, asking him to handle the situation.

"How about this, I will take a compromise approach. The Buddha was negligent for a while, and Tang Seng disappeared. Speaking of which, the Buddha is not at great fault. Sun Wukong and the other two were anxious to save their master, so although they made a mistake, it is understandable.

You each take a step back, reconcile this matter, and neither party will pursue it. Turning hostility into peace is the right way."

The Jade Emperor said to Tathagata and Sun Wukong and the other two.

"We have no choice but to do so."

Although Tathagata was angry in his heart, the matter was already like this, and the loss was already not small. He couldn't delay the planned Western Journey robbery.

"Then, for the sake of the Jade Emperor, we will temporarily give them time, but they must return our master."

Sun Wukong and the others also said.

"Then the Buddha will be responsible for finding Tang Seng's whereabouts, and Wukong, you three will continue your journey to the West."

The Jade Emperor continued, and the matter was considered resolved.

However, everyone knew clearly in their hearts that, apart from Tang Seng's unknown whereabouts, no one else suffered any losses, only the Western Heavens suffered heavy losses, Leiyin Temple was destroyed, and the Luminous Mirror was smashed.

Tathagata Buddha was both distressed and angry in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and he had to bow his head to the Jade Emperor with gratitude.

"Then what about Chu Hao?"

At this time, Dipankara Buddha asked the Jade Emperor very dissatisfied.

"Chu Hao, as the Prison God of the Three Realms in our Heavenly Court, rushed to the Western Heavens at the first time to maintain order. If it weren't for him, the situation would be worse. Shouldn't he be commended?"

The Jade Emperor seemed very dissatisfied with Dipankara Buddha's words.

"But..."

Dipankara Buddha wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Tathagata Buddha.

The current situation was chaotic enough. The Jade Emperor's attitude towards Chu Hao was very obvious. If Dipankara Buddha continued to speak, I'm afraid there would be more trouble.
