Chapter 215: Start Over Again

Tathagata looked at their discussion with an expressionless face. He knew that he could do nothing to Jia Hu.

The most important thing now is the Journey to the West. Jia Hu will definitely not go on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures again, but since it is related to the prosperity of Buddhism, it must be continued.

After discussing for a long time, the crowd gradually quieted down. They noticed Tathagata's expression.

Speaking of Jia Hu's betrayal of Buddhism, the one who had the greatest impact was Tathagata, because he was the person in charge of the Journey to the West.

Tathagata slowly raised his head, and a golden light shot in, and a white figure appeared in the hall.

"Greetings, Buddha." A familiar voice sounded.

"Guanyin."

"she is not"

"Is she okay?"

When everyone saw the familiar figure, they all spoke in surprise. They all knew that Guanyin was dead, but why did she appear again now?

When Tathagata saw Guanyin Bodhisattva reappear, he nodded slightly and said, "You are back."

"I would also like to thank the saint for rescuing me." Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed to the sky.

Everyone suddenly realized that it was the saint who took action, no wonder Guanyin was fine.

Tathagata nodded and asked, "Did the saint tell me about the journey to obtain the scriptures?"

Guanyin quickly said, "I said it."

Tathagata's eyes lit up. "What did the saint say?"

"Re-select the readers and set out from the Tang Dynasty again." Guanyin Bodhisattva said hurriedly.

Tathagata frowned, "Do it again? But we have already planned it for so long, how can we do it again?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva continued

"My Buddha, the saint said that Xuanzang has become a quasi-saint and is no longer destined to be a pilgrim.

There is someone else who is seeking the scriptures, and he is now in Jinshan Temple."

"Hmm?" Tathagata was startled, and immediately began to calculate, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Fahai, it's actually him."

Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't expect Tathagata to find someone so quickly, and hurriedly asked, "Buddha, who are you talking about?"

Tathagata's eyes showed a complex expression. "Fahai is also my disciple. Because of his lack of state of mind, he has been reincarnating and training."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said excitedly, "Great, so he is the one who is seeking the scriptures."

Tathagata nodded, "It should be him." Then he thought for a moment and said
"Then you go and guide Fahai to Chang'an, and I will go and talk to the Heavenly Court again."

"Yes, I am the Buddha." Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded immediately, feeling relieved.
Fortunately, the journey to the West can continue, and I can continue to plan my merits.

Other Buddhists were also very happy. Doesn’t this mean that Buddhism can continue to flourish?

When Guanyin left, Tathagata's figure also disappeared.

In the Heavenly Palace, the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor sits at the top, with many gods standing below.

Suddenly the Jade Emperor raised his head and asked in confusion, "Why is he here?"

The gods were stunned and didn't understand who the Jade Emperor was talking about.

At this time, a strong Buddha light appeared, and Tathagata sat cross-legged on a golden lotus platform and appeared in the Lingxiao Palace.
Only then did everyone realize that it was Tathagata.

"Your Majesty." Tathagata said lightly, without any respect.

Jia Hu, who was in Ziwei Palace, suddenly raised his head, frowned, and disappeared.

"Buzz" Jia Hu's figure appeared in the Lingxiao Palace.

An imperial majesty enveloped the entire hall, causing all the gods to tremble. Why did this god of death come?

The Jade Emperor was also stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jia Hu, "The Emperor is here?"

Jia Hu nodded and looked at Tathagata coldly, "Tathagata, are you here to see me?"

When Tathagata saw Jia Hu, his face darkened and he said, "Humph, no."

Jia Hu was stunned and asked in confusion, "Then what are you doing here?"

Tathagata said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you. I am here to see the Jade Emperor."

Jia Hu looked at Tathagata carefully and found that he was not lying. His eyes flashed and he thought to himself that there was no rush as he was not sure he could take him down now.

So he didn't say anything else, but looked at the Jade Emperor.

"Ahem." The Jade Emperor coughed lightly. Although he was a quasi-saint,

But compared to Tathagata, he was still a little behind, so he lacked confidence. "Tathagata, what do you want from me?"

Tathagata looked at Jia Hu with fear, then looked at the Jade Emperor solemnly, "I am here to discuss the matter of obtaining the scriptures with you."

The Jade Emperor was stunned, looked at Tathagata strangely, then looked at Jia Hu next to him.
The pilgrim who is seeking the scriptures is gone, what else is there to discuss?
The gods were also a little stunned. Taishang Laojun narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands.

"Hey, Guanyin is resurrected, and the person who is going to obtain the scriptures has changed."

His voice was loud and everyone heard it, and they all looked at Taishang Laojun.

Tathagata looked at Taishang Laojun deeply and was not surprised at all that he could calculate it.

The Jade Emperor was surprised. "What? The pilgrim has changed? What's going on?"

Tathagata explained, "It's nothing. I, the Buddhist sect, have chosen a new person to go to the pilgrimage.

No matter what happens, the trend of our Buddhist sect’s great prosperity cannot be changed, and we will resume our journey westward.”

Everyone was surprised. It was actually like this. They thought that Jia Hu had betrayed them and that the journey to obtain the scriptures would be a failure.

But now it seems that Buddhism has not given up.

The Jade Emperor asked curiously, "Who is the one who is seeking the scriptures?"

Tathagata gave Jia Hu an unkind look and said calmly, "You are still my disciple, Fahai."

Jia Hu frowned. Fahai? There actually exists a Fahai in this world.
Then wouldn't the Green Snake and the White Snake also exist? Curiously, he used the Heavenly Dao Gu's vision to scan the lower world.

Then a strange look appeared on his face. He actually saw the blue and white snakes.

But he recognized them at a glance. Aren’t these Xiaoqing and Xiaobai?
When Jia Hu was in Huaguo Mountain, he felt that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai were too weak, so he let them go out to practice on their own.

They have the cultivation level of celestial beings, so as long as they don't do anything stupid, nothing will happen. And since Xiaoqing can still contact them, there will be no problem at all.

Just as Jia Hu was about to look away, he suddenly paused. He unexpectedly saw a faint Buddha light on Xiao Bai's head.

His face changed. If he hadn't used the Heavenly Dao Gu to check, he would not have been able to discover it at all.

He instantly used a trace of Heavenly Dao power to wrap the Buddha's light, then pulled it up by the roots and sent it to his own hands with the power of Heavenly Dao.

"Sister, are you okay? How could you fall in love with a mortal?" Xiaoqing looked at Xiaobai with a puzzled look on her face.

She felt very strange. Since they transformed and came here, Xiaobai seemed to have become a different person.
It is simply impossible to fall in love with a mortal for no reason.

Xiao Bai's face was full of infatuation. "Xiao Qing, you don't understand. Mr. Xu is a good man.
Don't you envy the love between my master and your master?"

Xiaoqing was speechless. She always felt something was wrong. No matter what, she couldn't like a mortal.
She really didn't see what was worth liking about that mortal.

She was thinking about whether to tell her master. At this moment, Xiaobai trembled all over and his eyes regained clarity.

"Well, what's wrong with me?"

"Sister, are you okay?" Xiaoqing asked nervously when she saw Xiaobai's look.

Xiaobai shook his head, raised his head and looked up into the sky. His mind instantly became clear.

"No, Xiaoqing, how could I like a mortal?" Xiaoqing was a little confused, "What do you mean, sister, you don't like Mr. Xu anymore?"

Xiao Bai immediately shook his head and said, "How could I possibly like him?
I feel like someone has done something to me. Let's go find the master." She said solemnly.

Xiao Qing was stunned. The change was too fast, but it was a good thing. "Okay, let's go to heaven."

The two figures rose into the air and flew towards the heaven.

Fahai of Jinshan Temple frowned and looked up at the sky, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Hmm? Where are these two snake demons going?" Then he murmured

“Don’t worry, you will definitely come back. I am waiting for you and will never let you harm others.” He closed his eyes again and recited scriptures.

In the Lingxiao Palace, Jia Hu took a step forward and said in a cold voice:
"Tathagata, you are seeking death." He burst into murderous aura, and the temperature in the hall dropped a lot.

The gods' faces changed and they took a step back in fear. What did this guy want to do?
The Jade Emperor was also stunned and looked at Jia Hu in confusion.

Tathagata frowned and said, "Jia Hu, don't think I'm afraid of you. Since you are the Emperor Ziwei, I have not caused you any trouble."

A cold light flashed in Jia Hu's eyes, and he suddenly stretched out his palm.

"This is your Buddhist method, right? You attacked my people secretly, what else do you have to say?"

When Tathagata saw the Buddha light, he was stunned for a moment, and his spiritual consciousness probed over.

Then his face changed drastically. He was very familiar with the atmosphere inside. He immediately knew who was behind it and suddenly became silent.

Taishang Laojun looked at the Buddha's light with a strange look in his eyes

"This seems like the method of a saint." His voice was low, but just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Hiss, Saint, it's actually the Saint who took action."

"Who is that saint, guess?"

"Ahem, do we even need to guess? It must be the one from the Western religion."

The gods were startled and lowered their heads to guess.

Tathagata sighed, "Amitabha, Emperor Ziwei, I can only say that it was not me who did it."

Jia Hu raised his eyebrows, looked at the Buddha light in his hand, listened to the discussion of the crowd, and said in a cold voice, "Zunti."

"Your Majesty, you must not be disrespectful to the saints." The Jade Emperor hurriedly interrupted Jia Hu.

Jia Hu's eyes were cold, and as his mind moved, a trace of heavenly power slowly extinguished the Buddha's light.

With a "pop" sound, the Buddha's light was completely extinguished.

"Hmm?" Taishang Laojun asked in surprise.

"How did you do it? You actually wiped it out." That was the Buddha's light created by the saints, how could it be so easy to wipe out?

But Jia Hu did it, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Jia Hu said coldly, "Humph, this is actually a saint's method, how shameless."

"How dare you." Tathagata shouted angrily, "How dare you disrespect the saint?"

Others were also shocked. Is this guy crazy? He even dares to scold a saint.

Jia Hu felt a terrifying gaze looking at him. If he guessed correctly, it should be Zhunti.

"Haha, Master Zhunti, do you dare to take action?" Jia Hu suddenly sneered at the sky.

"Humph!" A cold snort sounded in everyone's mind. Everyone shuddered and knelt on the ground.
"Long live the saint." They saluted hastily, feeling extremely frightened. They didn't expect Jia Hu to actually curse the saint.

Jia Hu stood quietly in place, looking at the sky with his head held high. He had the Heavenly Dao Gu to suppress his sea of ​​consciousness and was not afraid of the pressure from the saint at all.

"Eh!" Zhunti made a sound of surprise. At this moment, a mysterious voice sounded in the chaos.
"Zhunti, do you want to die?"

"Oh, teacher, I was wrong." Zhunti was shocked and said respectfully in a hurry.

"Take care of yourself." After leaving a few words, the voice disappeared.

"Alas, junior brother, you shouldn't have taken action." Jie Yin said with a frown.

Zhunti sighed helplessly

"Brother, I have no other choice. Something unexpected happened during the Journey to the West, and the prosperity of my Buddhist sect was almost cut short."

Jie Yin shook his head, it was indeed true, and said no more, but his face became even more miserable.

"Senior brother, Jia Hu is a little weird. He is not afraid of my pressure." Zhunti said with a serious expression.

Jie Yin's expression also became solemn. "You are right. I can't figure him out now. It seems that his fate has been changed."

Zhunti sighed
"It's a pity that we can't enter the prehistoric world now, otherwise I would definitely convert such a traitor."

Jie Yin smiled bitterly, shook his head, and closed his eyes again.

In the Lingxiao Palace, everyone felt relieved, knowing that Zhunti should have left.

"Humph, you really don't dare to take action." Jia Hu said coldly.

Everyone looked at Jia Hu in astonishment. He was so bold to speak like this about a saint.

But it seemed that he was not wrong, because Zhunti did not attack again, he must have been restricted.

The Jade Emperor's eyes flickered and he looked at Taishang Laojun, who nodded at him.

The Jade Emperor heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Tathagata again.

"Tathagata, tell me, how can we obtain the sutra again?"

Tathagata looked at Jia Hu with fear. This guy was not even afraid of the saints. He had underestimated him.
He took a deep breath and then looked at the Jade Emperor. "It's very simple. You can send someone down to the mortal world again. The original conditions remain unchanged."

Everyone was stunned and understood what Tathagata meant. He wanted them to continue sending people down to seek merit, which was a good thing.

The Jade Emperor suddenly said, "Tathagata, everything else is easy to deal with.

You also know that the Purple Star Emperor has just appeared, so he must have a copy. Should we discuss this again? "

Tathagata's face darkened, he glanced at Jia Hu, and said reluctantly, "Okay." Then he looked at Jia Hu.

"Emperor, how many people are you going to send?"

Jia Hu narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

The Jade Emperor was startled and quickly sent a message to Jia Hu, saying that this was a favor and he should certainly seize it.

Jia Hu listened to the Jade Emperor's words, combined with the Journey to the West he had read in later generations, and instantly understood what was going on.

Journey to the West is indeed a chess game, and everyone is trying to gain merit.

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Tathagata, he immediately changed his mind.
"I don't want more. I will send four people to the lower world. Four difficulties."

"Impossible, it's a dilemma at most." Tathagata immediately refused.

Others couldn't help but show envy, the Four Difficulties, how much merit that must be.

Jia Hu smiled coldly, "Don't want to? Okay, then I will do it myself as long as I am in trouble."

"Hiss" Everyone gasped, this guy is a quasi-saint,

If he takes action, what's the point of learning from him? How can he get through?
They all looked at Tathagata, wondering what he would do.

Tathagata's face darkened, he looked at Jia Hu coldly and said, "Don't go too far."

Jia Hu's face turned cold. "Too much? Is it too much if I just have one difficulty?"

Tathagata felt a little aggrieved. He didn't want any more accidents to happen. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Okay, but you are not allowed to do anything."

Jia Hu nodded

"Yeah." His tone was flat, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
