#2037 - Guanyin thought she had a good plan
The five great Lion Kings weren't fools either. They knew very well that the Qinghua Emperor and their Lion Ancestor didn't act themselves, but let them do it, because they wanted to find scapegoats.
However, they had to obey orders. But now, seeing Guanyin arrive, coupled with their inherent fear, they naturally seized the opportunity to retreat immediately.
Although Guanyin had saved Tang Sanzang and his companions this time, they didn't feel grateful to Guanyin at all.
Because they all knew that this was a scheme of the Western Paradise, and Guanyin hadn't just arrived, but had been hiding in the shadows long ago.
The reason for not showing up until now was to wait for Tang Sanzang and his companions to be forced into a desperate situation by the Qinghua Emperor, and then pretend to be a good person, come out to save them, and make them grateful to themselves and the Western Paradise.
This was an old trick, and Tang Sanzang and his companions could see it at a glance, but they were just too lazy to expose it.
"So it's Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
The Qinghua Emperor was quite polite to Guanyin, but he was also somewhat unwilling.
With Guanyin's arrival, he couldn't directly kill Tang Sanzang and his companions, at most he could only humiliate them.
"Qinghua Emperor, please spare Tang Sanzang and his companions once for my sake, how about it?"
Guanyin said to the Qinghua Emperor. These words sounded like she was pleading for Tang Sanzang and his companions, but that wasn't the case.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, you're wrong. This matter is about the Qinghua Emperor bullying others. What responsibility do we have?"
"We are subduing demons and eliminating monsters, and the Qinghua Emperor is protecting the evildoers. We are not at fault!"
"Isn't Guanyin Bodhisattva pushing the blame onto us?"
Tang Sanzang and his companions naturally wouldn't let Guanyin play tricks, and immediately shouted.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, you heard that, so you can't blame me."
The Qinghua Emperor's face darkened again upon hearing Tang Sanzang's words.
As a high-ranking figure in the Heavenly Court, he had never been scolded like this before, and he was very angry.
"Tang Sanzang, I have a question for you. You said you are not at fault, but why did you come to Tiger Head Mountain and injure the Qinghua Emperor's mount!"
Guanyin turned around and questioned Tang Sanzang and his companions.
"Bodhisattva, we passed through Yuhua Prefecture and encountered the昏庸无道 Yuhua King who tried to stop us. Naturally, we took action to teach them a lesson and wanted to exchange the customs clearance document. But the customs clearance document of Yuhua Prefecture was snatched by a monster, so we came here to retrieve it!"
Although Tang Sanzang knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva was asking knowingly, he still roughly explained the situation.
"Nonsense, that Yuhua King is diligent in his administration and loves his people, and is pious to my Buddha. You were the ones who made trouble unreasonably in Yuhua Prefecture. You've caused enough trouble there, but you still haven't stopped, and you've actually caused trouble here.
Even if you came to Tiger Head Mountain for the customs clearance document, did you ever negotiate with them nicely? If you had negotiated peacefully, wouldn't they have given you a customs clearance document?"
Speaking of the Yuhua Prefecture incident, Guanyin's face couldn't help but darken, and she blamed Tang Sanzang and his companions.
The Yuhua Prefecture incident was orchestrated by Guanyin, originally to make things difficult for Tang Sanzang and his companions.
But she didn't expect Chu Hao to easily break the formation, foiling her plan. Tang Sanzang and his companions not only taught the Yuhua King a lesson, but also had him tear down the temple and smash the Buddha statues.
This made Guanyin very angry, and she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to reprimand Tang Sanzang and his companions.
"Bodhisattva, what are you saying? You want us to negotiate with the monsters nicely? This is inconsistent with the Buddhist teachings of subduing demons and eliminating monsters."
Tang Sanzang sneered at Guanyin, not expecting that Guanyin could even say such things.
"Although the Nine-Headed Spirit is on Tiger Head Mountain, he has never harmed anyone. Naturally, they are different from ordinary monsters."
The Qinghua Emperor forcefully defended the Nine-Headed Spirit.
Indeed, this Nine-Headed Spirit is different from ordinary monsters. He and his demon sons and grandsons are a group of monsters who pay attention to the quality of life.
They eat delicacies from land and sea, and even have chefs. They don't eat living people not out of kindness, but because no matter how you cook living people, they are not as delicious as delicacies from land and sea.
Although they don't eat people, they rob money, gold, and silver treasures, not only from the Yuhua Prefecture's palace, but also from the people of Yuhua Prefecture.
If the people don't have money, how can they live? They can't even eat, and they will starve to death. This is no different from eating people.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, these four Tang Sanzang are insulting me so much, how can I let them go?"
The Qinghua Emperor was already furious and said to Guanyin.
"Great Emperor, don't be angry. I will definitely make Tang Sanzang and his companions apologize to you."
Guanyin appeared to be defending Tang Sanzang and his companions, but Tang Sanzang and his companions knew very well.
The Qinghua Emperor and Guanyin were playing good cop and bad cop, trying to use such a coordinated approach to make Tang Sanzang and his companions submit.
"This Guanyin Bodhisattva is clearly playing with us."
Zhu Bajie said angrily.
"Bajie, why don't we pretend to bow our heads, first gain freedom, and then fight with the Qinghua Emperor."
Sun Wukong suggested to Zhu Bajie and Tang Sanzang.
"As long as you sincerely apologize to the Qinghua Emperor, I can guarantee that you will be fine."
Guanyin persuaded Sun Wukong and his companions, now with a benevolent face again.
"Bodhisattva, we are suppressed and cannot move at all."
Sun Wukong replied to Guanyin. They were still being suppressed by the Qinghua Emperor's power.
Guanyin didn't release them first when she came here, naturally in order to force Tang Sanzang and his companions to submit.
Hearing what Sun Wukong and his companions said, and seeing their attitude, it seemed that they were about to give in. Guanyin naturally thought that Tang Sanzang and his companions were scared.
"Great Emperor, please release them for my sake. I have already persuaded them to apologize to you."
Guanyin said to the Qinghua Emperor.
Although Guanyin's strength was not as good as the Qinghua Emperor's, she was, after all, a confidant of the Tathagata Buddha, and now the Qinghua Emperor had defected to the Western Paradise.
So Guanyin was also someone the Qinghua Emperor couldn't afford to offend. Even if he was unwilling at this time, he could only endure it.
With a wave of the Qinghua Emperor's hand, the oppressive force dissipated, and Tang Sanzang and his companions immediately regained their cultivation and mobility.
Guanyin couldn't help but nod, waiting for Tang Sanzang and his companions to apologize to the Qinghua Emperor, and then reprimand them, which would achieve her goal.
However, after Tang Sanzang and his companions regained their cultivation and mobility, their attitude suddenly changed.
"Qinghua traitor, I'm going to fight you."
"Let me apologize to you with my golden cudgel."
"Rebellious old thief, even if I risk my life, I will never end with you!"
Tang Sanzang and his companions suddenly burst out and shouted, then each swung their weapons and launched an attack on the Qinghua Emperor, all with an attitude of risking their lives and fighting to the death.
