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

However, after considering Guanyin's request, Buddha Tathagata refused, saying, "Venerable Guanyin, you still need to oversee the tribulations."

Tathagata probably saw Guanyin's confusion and didn't want him to come into contact with the Extinguish-the-Dharma Kingdom, lest he defect at the last moment and be persuaded.

Guanyin did not refute and asked, "I wonder who Buddha intends to send?"

"I plan to have a Vajra descend into the world," Tathagata said.

Originally, he intended to directly send someone to negotiate with the Extinguish-the-Dharma Kingdom, but with Chu Hao present, and Tang Sanzang and his disciples watching.

If that were the case, the events of Zhu Zi Kingdom would likely be repeated.

So this time, Tathagata learned to be clever and decided to have a Vajra reincarnate and descend into the mortal world, becoming a citizen of the Extinguish-the-Dharma Kingdom, and then use this as a basis to begin guiding the thoughts of others.

As long as the people's thinking is changed, it will become very easy to change the king's thinking.

This point was actually suggested by a sage, and Tathagata only then thought of this method.

This method of starting with the common people and then gradually influencing the higher levels is indeed feasible and not too forceful, so it probably won't cause resentment.

The key now is which Vajra to send.

There are not many Vajras in Buddhism, and each one is at the quasi-sage level, usually guarding Mount Ling and rarely leaving.

After much deliberation, Tathagata finally decided to send the Pure Water Vajra to the lower realm.

Before long, a man with a ferocious face, glaring eyes, holding a white long sword, and wearing white Buddhist robes appeared before the two of them, it was the Pure Water Vajra.

"Greetings, Buddha," the Pure Water Vajra saluted.

"This time, going to the lower realm is to send you to persuade the Extinguish-the-Dharma Kingdom," Tathagata said.

"I respectfully obey the decree," the Pure Water Vajra said.

"Well, heaven and earth have constants, and all laws are unchanging. This time you are descending into the world, and let Venerable Guanyin assist you," Tathagata instructed.

This time, sending a Vajra to solve this matter was actually hinted at by a sage.

The previous communication with the sage made Tathagata realize that this matter is not difficult to solve.

The key lies in Chu Hao. As long as he is held back and prevented from causing trouble, it will be fine.

Soon, Guanyin took the Pure Water Vajra away from here.

Guanyin took the Pure Water Vajra to a platform, then took a willow branch from the jade bottle and gently touched him.

On the willow branch, sprinkled spots of spiritual light, the spiritual light fell on the Pure Water Vajra, and a brilliant light appeared.

Under the guidance of the spiritual light, the Buddhist intent on the Pure Water Vajra was gradually eliminated, and his memory was also being erased.

This descent into the world is actually similar to reincarnation, equivalent to letting a second "Tang Monk" enter the mortal world, and then carry out the affairs of the Western Heaven.

It's just that the mission of this second "Tang Monk" is very simple, just needing to persuade the people of the Extinguish-the-Dharma Kingdom.

As Guanyin's power surged, the Pure Water Vajra's body was also undergoing transformation.

The civil and military officials naturally supported the king's decision, but the alliance with other countries still needed to see their willingness.

So the king sent many envoys to various countries.

It's a pity that this is destined to fail.

Because Di Ting is watching in secret, and he already has a plan for these envoys.

He plans to let the monsters directly eat them after they arrive in remote mountains and forests.

This trick of killing with a borrowed knife is easily done by Di Ting, anyway, even if the king of the Extinguish-the-Dharma Kingdom finds out, he won't know that he did it.

Inside the palace, the king of the Extinguish-the-Dharma Kingdom approached Chu Hao.

"Immortal, I have already sent envoys to other countries, but it will still take some time," he said sincerely.

Hearing this, Chu Hao remained silent, because he knew that the king's plan would most likely not succeed.

But having changes and ideas is a good thing.

So when the king expressed that he wanted to release those monks, Chu Hao asked, "Do you know what to have them do?"

"This…" The king looked confused.

Indeed, these are more than 90,000 monks, and if they are all released, it is really not known how to arrange them.

"Immortal, I wonder if you have any insights," the king lowered his posture and asked respectfully.

Hearing this, Chu Hao said, "You can ask them one by one first to see what they want to do."

Chu Hao's words made the king think for a moment and nod, "Immortal is wise."

Then the king left to arrange it.

After he left, Tang Seng walked over, "Immortal, since the king is willing to release those monks, can we also leave?"

"Tang Elder, do you want to leave so quickly?" Chu Hao asked, looking into his eyes.

Hearing this, Tang Seng hesitated for a moment. He actually wanted to stay because he wanted to see with his own eyes whether this extinguishing of the Dharma could succeed.

But the sense of mission in his heart made him feel that it would be better to take the lead in seeking the scriptures and teaching the world.

As for this anti-Dharma movement, it is okay to wait and see the results after a while.

That's why Tang Seng asked Chu Hao.

Chu Hao understood what he meant, but he also knew that the current Tang Seng was in a state of confusion.

So he planned to solve the doubts for this eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, "I think we should stay for the time being."

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Bajie, who was dozing off, "What do you say, after all, you all had experience in Zhu Zi Kingdom last time."

Suddenly noticed, Zhu Bajie jumped up in a jolt, and he immediately said, "That's right, that's right, Chu Hao is right, Master, we have experience."

Last time in Zhu Zi Kingdom, he, the dignified Marshal Tianpeng, was actually farming and reclaiming wasteland, which was really embarrassing.

But now, he naturally wouldn't complain.

Sun Wukong and Sha Seng also nodded.

They had done this kind of thing once before, but it was a pity that Tang Seng, who was enchanted at the time, might not remember these trivial things very well.

It didn't matter at the time, it would be fine to do it again.

Hearing this, Tang Seng looked suspicious and looked at Chu Hao again.

"Immortal, do we really have to stay for the time being?" Tang Seng asked.

"If we don't stay, this anti-Dharma movement may fail," Chu Hao suddenly said.

This made Tang Seng immediately recall the scene when those demon kings appeared in Zhu Zi Kingdom.

At that time, those demon kings took the initiative to launch an attack in order to stop Zhu Zi Kingdom, almost destroying the entire country.

If it weren't for Tang Seng and his disciples and Chu Hao, Zhu Zi Kingdom would have failed long ago.

Thinking of this, Tang Seng understood what Chu Hao meant.
