"Does Taishang Laojun want to go back on his words?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva subconsciously thought of this possibility. Taishang Laojun quietly withdrew Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King, which showed Taishang Laojun's attitude.
Taishang Laojun was dissatisfied with the Western Paradise Scripture Expedition, and even had some opinions about the previous agreement.
He didn't think that Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King would dare to use Taishang Laojun as a pretense. Even Taishang Laojun's disciples wouldn't dare to use Taishang Laojun's name to show off, let alone two children.
Thinking of Taishang Laojun's dissatisfaction with the Western Paradise Scripture Expedition, Guanyin Bodhisattva ignored Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King and flew back to the Great Leiyin Temple. This matter had to be reported to Buddha.
Taishang Laojun was a Dao Ancestor. If he had any opinions about the Western Paradise Scripture Expedition, or even opposed it, he didn't need to do anything else. He only needed to secretly increase Sun Wukong's strength, and they would need to spend ten times or even a hundred times more effort.
Now, they only needed to arrange some Bodhisattva's mounts and pets, and some powerful artifacts to suppress Sun Wukong.
If Taishang Laojun increased Sun Wukong's strength by another level, those mounts and pets wouldn't be Sun Wukong's match even with artifacts.
In order to satisfy the 81 difficulties, did they have to do it themselves?
Even if they did it themselves, they wouldn't be able to complete the 81 difficulties!
"Do you think Taishang Laojun might have any opinions about the Western Paradise Scripture Expedition?"
Western Paradise, Great Leiyin Temple. Buddha heard Guanyin Bodhisattva's analysis and put down his right hand. He frowned and said with a heavy tone.
The world was only so big. If Buddhism rose, Taoism would decline.
As a Dao Ancestor, Taishang Laojun naturally had to consider Taoism.
If it wasn't for the rise of Buddhism, even if he paid a certain price, Taishang Laojun wouldn't agree to spread the Mahayana scripture to Tang of the East.
Tang of the East had always been Taoism's territory. The Heavenly Court's deities enjoyed the incense and worship of Tang of the East.
If Buddhism was added, Taoism's incense and worship would naturally decrease.
"Go and ask the Dao Ancestor. If you have any suggestions, you can raise them. The Great Leiyin Temple can make some concessions."
Tathagata Buddha said after some thought.
If it wasn't for the fact that he personally went to discuss with Old Lord Taishang, which would cause a huge commotion that could easily cause trouble in the Three Realms, he would have personally gone to discuss with Old Lord Taishang.
Now, he could only send Guanyin Bodhisattva to represent him. Guanyin Bodhisattva had always been the person in charge of seeking scriptures from the Western Paradise. Whether it was on Mount Numinous or in the Heavenly Court, she was very popular.
Even if he went to the Heavenly Court, he would not arouse the suspicion of the deities and buddhas of the Three Realms.
Guanyin Bodhisattva received Gautama Buddha's instructions and hurriedly rushed to the Heavenly Heavens. After arriving at the Heavenly Heavens, she went straight to the Tushita Palace.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, why are you looking for me?"
In the Tushita Palace, Old Lord Taishang smiled and said calmly.
If he didn't know Old Lord Taishang's identity, he would have thought that he was just a marginal figure in the Heavenly Court who specialized in refining pills for the Jade Emperor.
Only those who knew Old Lord Taishang well knew of his strength and capabilities. Aside from being one of the strongest people in the Three Realms, Old Lord Taishang could also refine pills and magic treasures.
Other than the five magic treasures that Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King previously held, even Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang and Zhu Bajie's Nine-Toothed Harrow were all refined by Old Lord Taishang.
According to Guanyin Bodhisattva's guess, almost half of the deities in the Heavenly Court had their magic treasures refined by Old Lord Taishang.
Such a figure, not mentioning his identity as a Dao Ancestor, just him alone had terrifying capabilities.
Old Lord Taishang and Guanyin Bodhisattva were polite, but Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't dare to be arrogant. She hurriedly bowed to Old Lord Taishang and hesitated, "Old Lord, do you know where Tripitaka and his disciples are?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't dare to directly ask Old Lord Taishang about his dissatisfaction, so she tactfully said.
"They should have reached the plateau."
Old Lord Taishang smiled.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, the previous calamity of the plateau was the yellow-robed monster, and the yellow-robed monster was one of the Heavenly Realm's 28 Lunar Mansions, Kui Wood Wolf.
In order to subdue the Kui Wood Wolf, the Heavenly Court dispatched the other 28 Lunar Mansions, and now the Kui Wood Wolf was burning a fire for him in the Tushita Palace. Once Bao Xiang country passed, it would be the plateau that he was guarding. How could he not know?
When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, her expression slightly froze, and her heart became more and more nervous. Old Lord Taishang planned to pretend that he didn't know, and couldn't help but guess that Old Lord Taishang was very dissatisfied with the Western Paradise.
"Old Lord, do you know where Golden Horn and Silver Horn are?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath, forced a kind smile, and said.
With Old Lord Taishang's status, Old Lord Taishang could pretend that he didn't know anything, but he couldn't. He had to calm Old Lord Taishang down.
"But what happened to my two boys?"
Old Lord Taishang was also slightly stunned, he finally understood why Guanyin Bodhisattva was looking for him at this time.
So there was something wrong with the plateau.
To be honest, he was also a little concerned about the plateau. His five magic treasures were still in the hands of his two boys.
The corner of Guanyin Bodhisattva's mouth twitched, her hand holding the Pristine Jade Bottle couldn't help but clench a little, and her heart became even more solemn.
Under her tactful questioning twice, Old Lord Taishang had already pretended that he didn't know twice, which meant that Old Lord Taishang's dissatisfaction wasn't just a little, but a lot.
This dissatisfaction could very well turn into Old Lord Taishang directly interfering with the Western Paradise's Buddhist Scripture Gathering.
If Old Lord Taishang went back on his words, the Jade Emperor might also go back on his words, the Primeval Lord of Heaven, Zhen Yuan Zi, and the other almighties might also change their original attitudes.
"Cough cough cough … Old Lord, Golden Horn and Silver Horn might have been playful and went to Baoxiang Kingdom. I'm afraid Tripitaka and his disciples have already passed the plateau."
Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke again, this time pushing the responsibility to Silver Horn King and Silver Horn King, but still didn't dare to blame Old Lord Taishang.
This matter had to be reduced to a small one, and a small one.
"They went to Baoxiang Kingdom?"
Hearing Guanyin Bodhisattva's words, Old Lord Taishang finally lost his composure, and frowned slightly. He couldn't help but deduce that Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King had really gone to Baoxiang Kingdom, and even became Imperial Tutor.
"I'm going to the Lower Realm."
After Old Lord Taishang finished speaking, he flew down to the Lower Realm.
Because he realized that he couldn't sense the five magic treasures that he had left in the Lower Realm.
"Gold Spirit, Silver Spirit, why are you two here?"
After the incident with the Yellow Robe Monster, the King of Baoxiang Kingdom had completely believed in the gods. Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King had only casually displayed a few divine powers, and they were already regarded as gods by the King of Baoxiang Kingdom, and worshipped as Imperial Tutor. Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King were naturally served well by the King of Baoxiang Kingdom.
At this moment, seeing Old Lord Taishang descending from the sky, the two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Greetings, Old Lord."
"Old Lord, the two of us followed your orders, and didn't do any evil. Moreover, we helped Baoxiang Kingdom suppress a few demons, and caused a few rains."
Golden Horn King hurriedly kowtowed and explained.
'Old Lord Taishang' told them to play for a few days, one day in the Heavens, one year on the Earth. He definitely didn't think that they had stayed for too long.
However, the two of them didn't do any evil in the Lower Realm.
"Didn't I tell the two of you to listen to Guanyin Bodhisattva's orders?"
Old Lord Taishang's expression turned cold as he said faintly.
Could it be that he had been too lenient with these two children, and they dared to disobey his orders?
"Old Lord, didn't you tell us to play in the Lower Realm for a few days?"
Silver Horn King trembled as he said.
He really couldn't understand why Old Lord Taishang was suddenly angry.
Old Lord Taishang was speechless.
"Can you two explain the matter in detail?"
Old Lord Taishang hurriedly asked.
He felt that something was strange. For no reason, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to ask him about the Plateau Mountain, and now, Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King were ordered to play in the Lower Realm?
Was this a show that Guanyin Bodhisattva purposely put on? Or was there something else?
"Old Lord, didn't you personally go to the Lower Realm some time ago? You said that you would arrange for someone else to replace us and let us play in the Lower Realm for a few days."
Golden Horn King explained honestly and didn't dare to hide anything.
He secretly slandered in his heart. Could it be that Old Lord Taishang wanted to refine pills but couldn't find the children, so he wanted to call them back to make a fire?
Old Lord Taishang was speechless.
Old Lord Taishang didn't say anything and directly flew towards the West.
He wanted to inquire about some information from Tang Seng and his disciples. He now understood everything. Someone actually pretended to be him and cheated the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King, and even cheated five of his magic treasures.
Unbeknownst to Buddhism and him, there was actually a pair of evil hands that interfered on the Western Paradise Sutra Seeking Road.
"What happened in Wuji Country recently?"
Old Lord Taishang flew to Wuji Country and found that he couldn't find Tang Seng and his disciples, so he couldn't help but look for Wuji Country's Earth God.
"Reporting to Old Lord, not long ago, Tang Dynasty's army surrounded Wuji Country's palace and then announced that the Wuji Country's King was transformed by a demon. I don't know what happened in between, but the original Wuji Country's King was found."
"The former Wuji Country's King was actually a huge lion."
Wuji Country's Earth God prostrated on the ground and said respectfully.
In the eyes of these Earth Gods, Old Lord Taishang was the true authority of the Heavenly Court, and his status was much higher than Sun Wukong.
The Hui Dragon Monster was killed, the Great King of Inspiration was killed, and the Green Bull Spirit was cheated away …
Old Lord Taishang landed at the location of a few disasters in succession, and his expression became more and more strange. A trace of graveness flashed across his eyes, and then he directly flew back to the Heavenly Court.
Damn, this evil hand behind the scenes is too bold.
The Wuji Country's King was transformed from Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount, the Hui Dragon Monster was the West Sea Dragon King's nephew, and the Great King of Inspiration was Guanyin Bodhisattva's pet, and all of them were killed.
Who knows how many more demons died on the Western Paradise Sutra Seeking Road!
This is a very powerful and bold, and also unscrupulous evil hand!
However, it spared the two boys and the mount under his command. Old Lord Taishang instantly didn't want to get into this trouble.
Such an unscrupulous evil hand, it's better to let Buddhism test the waters and test the strength of this evil hand behind the scenes.
Old Lord Taishang completely didn't know that the reason why Wanjie Lou and the others spared his boys and mount was not because of his face or because they were afraid of his strength, but because his boys and mount didn't do evil, and killing them wouldn't give any experience.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, I already know about what happened in the Lower Realm. The Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King were cheated away, and they even cheated away my magic treasure. Bodhisattva, please help me get them back."
In Tushita Palace, Old Lord Taishang said with a smile.
Such a huge vortex should be left to Gautama Buddha to stir.
From his expression, one couldn't see any of the shock and graveness from before, as if he didn't know what happened in the Lower Realm.
"Old Lord, don't worry."
Guanyin Bodhisattva heard and repeatedly promised.
As long as Old Lord Taishang didn't do it on purpose, this matter would be much easier to handle.
Could it be Sun Wukong?
