#2120 - The Battle of Water, Fire and Wind
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Western Heavens, the demons were defeated and fled. The people of Jinping Prefecture naturally cheered, as they could once again enjoy their extravagant and comfortable lives.
"Thank you for the protection of the Western Heavens."
"With the encouragement of the Western Heavens and the Buddha, Jinping Prefecture will be the safest place."
"Grateful to the Western Heavens for bringing me a happy life."
The people were naturally grateful to the Western Heavens for defeating the demons, and they shouted slogans of gratitude to the Western Heavens.
This gratified Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and many Buddhas of the Western Heavens, fulfilling their vanity.
"People of Jinping Prefecture, rest assured, as long as we, the Western Heavens, protect you, you can forever enjoy a peaceful and happy life."
Guanyin naturally took the opportunity to promote the merits of the Western Heavens, also demonstrating to Chu Hao and the others how the Western Heavens were supported by the people.
However, Guanyin's words were somewhat exaggerated, because although the demons had retreated from the city, they had not left the vicinity of Jinping Prefecture.
The demons had already set their sights on Jinping Prefecture, and with their style, they would definitely not give up easily.
Therefore, the demons were now gathering their strength, preparing for the next attack on the city.
Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and other key members of the Western Heavens also needed to discuss the next step of their strategy.
"The strength of the demons is extraordinary, and the number of personnel we, the Western Heavens, can send to Jinping Prefecture is limited."
Manjusri Bodhisattva reminded Guanyin.
Although Jinping Prefecture was regarded as an important place by the Western Heavens, it was, after all, just an outer prefecture of the Tianzhu Kingdom.
For a small outer prefecture, the Western Heavens would naturally not send all of their strength, including Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and these thousands of Buddhas.
This was already the maximum support that the Western Heavens could provide to Jinping Prefecture.
"If the demons have elite forces coming to support them, how should we respond?"
Samantabhadra looked somewhat worried. They could handle ordinary demons, but if those powerful figures among the demons came, it would not be easy to protect Jinping Prefecture.
"Don't forget, we still have Suhe lamp oil."
Guanyin seemed to have a plan and did not seem worried.
Suhe lamp oil was the key to the Western Heavens maintaining Jinping Prefecture. The main ingredients of Suhe lamp oil were corpse oil and human bone powder.
Burning it could generate spiritual energy, thereby providing protection and blessings.
Ordinary people could deal with ordinary demon soldiers and generals simply by holding a lamp of corpse oil.
However, this protection and blessing ability depended on the strength of the spiritual energy, that is, the extent to which the lamp burned.
"If we want to increase the defensive capabilities of the entire city of Jinping Prefecture, we need huge lamps."
Guanyin's plan was to build huge, towering lamps in the city of Jinping Prefecture.
Once these towering lamps were built and used, no matter how many powerful figures the demons sent, they would be helpless against Jinping Prefecture.
"However, building these towering lamps will probably require huge amounts of manpower and material resources."
"Although the people of Jinping Prefecture have been mentally controlled by us, if we want them to contribute, we still need to give them an acceptable reason."
Manjusri and Samantabhadra said. If there was no suitable reason, and they spent manpower and material resources on large-scale construction, the people of Jinping Prefecture would probably have complaints.
"Of course, I've already thought about it. To deal with these ignorant people, all we need to do is promise them the moon."
