Chapter 813: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 39
Sun Wukong escaped with Zhu Bajie and the others, and Wu Tian did not chase them. What he wanted to do most now was not to chase Sun Wukong and the others, but to enter the Sutra Library as soon as possible and find all the relics hidden inside.
As Wutan's subordinate, Ying Yao has always been responsible for guarding the Sutra Repository. She knows the Sutra Repository like the back of her hand, and is very familiar with it. After hearing Wutan's order, she began to conduct a carpet search of the entire Sutra Repository. However, no matter how hard she searched, she found no special items except an old lotus platform.
"Buddha, I am incompetent and cannot find the relic you mentioned. Please punish me!"
Ying Yao failed to complete Wutan's order and had to come to apologize. Wutan waved his hand and did not punish Ying Yao. He came to the old lotus platform and activated the black lotus spirit in his body. As soon as the black lotus spirit came out and touched the old lotus platform, it seemed as if some mechanism was triggered, and a golden light flashed.
Then the old lotus platform split in the middle with a "click", and a wooden box appeared in the golden light.
"Hahahahahaha, I found it finally." Wutan laughed triumphantly.
"The Buddha is wise. I am ashamed of myself as I am not as good as him." Ying Yao immediately stepped forward to flatter him. They were all Wutan's subordinates. The reason why Ying Yao could live a much more comfortable life than Heipao and the others was because she knew how to read people's expressions and she could flatter the right people every time.
Sure enough, after hearing Ying Yao's compliment, Wu Tian restrained his smile, but the complacency on his face became more obvious. He nodded reservedly, "Well, Ying Yao, take the box down and open it."
After finding something, you should give your subordinates a chance to show off. It would be a bit uncool to open it yourself. Ying Yao understood immediately, and smiled. He took down the wooden box in the center of the lotus platform with both hands, and then held it in front of Wu Tian with both hands and opened it to him, "Buddha, please look."
Wu Tian lowered his head and looked at the empty wooden box in Ying Yao's hand. The smugness on his face froze instantly, "How could it be empty?!"
"Ying Yao, during the days when you were guarding the Sutra Library, besides this Buddha, who else had entered the Sutra Library?" Wutan did not suspect that Ying Yao had embezzled the money. He was more inclined to believe that there were people left on Lingshan Mountain who knew that the relic was hidden in the Sutra Library and took it away when no one noticed.
Ying Yao frowned and thought carefully. Suddenly, a face appeared in her mind. Her face changed immediately. Wu Tian knew who she was thinking of and asked quickly, "Ying Yao, who did you think of? Who is it?"
"Yes..." Ying Yao was a little afraid to say it. You know, Wu Tian had always been proud of his ability to win over Guanyin. If he knew that Guanyin was actually an undercover agent left by Tathagata, and the so-called surrender was just a means of undercover...
"Tell me quickly, who is it?" Wutan couldn't bear to see Ying Yao hesitating and kept urging him.
"It's Guanyin, the self-aware Buddha..." Ying Yao lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at Wutan's expression.
"What? It's him?" Fortunately, Wu Tian was not the kind of leader who liked to vent his anger on others. He quickly calmed down after getting angry, "So it was him..."
Wu Tian was surprised at first when he heard Guanyin's name, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not so surprised. Since Guanyin surrendered, he had not accomplished any of the tasks he had assigned to him. Even when he went to the Heavenly Palace to spread false news, he happened to catch up with the people in the Heavenly Palace who had noticed it. If the black robes and others had not arrived in time, something might have gone wrong.
Apart from this, Guanyin did not complete any of the tasks, whether it was asking Zhu Bajie to collect the relics, or asking Zhu Bajie to find the reincarnated spirit boy, or even asking the Immortal Zhenyuan about the whereabouts of the relics.
Thinking of this, Wutan really wanted to slap himself. With so many flaws, how on earth had he been fooled by Guanyin? Not only had he never discovered it, but he had also always thought that Guanyin was sincerely loyal to him. She had even conferred the title of Self-Awareness Buddha on him before he could make any achievements.
"Haha, that's great. You are indeed worthy of being Tathagata's most loyal confidant, and I was actually deceived." Wutan could no longer hide his murderous intention towards Guanyin at this time. Ying Yao hid aside and secretly concealed his presence, fearing that he would accidentally provoke the furious Wutan, and then be used to vent his anger.
Guanyin, who was still happily fishing in the South China Sea, had no idea that the fact that she had hidden an extra relic in order to strike at her opponent would suddenly become evidence of her false surrender and real undercover operation.
Now Guanyin was still lying comfortably in his hometown, unaware that Wutan had come to his house in person with murderous intent to hunt him down.
When Wu Tian arrived, Guanyin was still leisurely drinking tea and feeding fish, with no sign of nervousness of being discovered on her face.
"Guanyin is the self-aware Buddha, and you seem to be living a comfortable life?" After seeing this, Wu Tian felt that Guanyin had a strong psychological quality. No wonder she was so bold as to deceive him.
"Buddha, why are you here?" Guanyin heard the sarcasm in Wutan's words and thought that she had been slacking off too much during this period and was discovered. A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. It was this trace of guilt that made Wutan even more certain that he was an undercover agent.
"Hmph! Why is this Buddha here? Of course, this Buddha is here to deal with you, the undercover!" After saying this, Wutan directly used his heart-grabbing claws and reached out at the unsuspecting Guanyin at an extremely fast speed.
Guanyin was completely unprepared and did not expect that Wutan wanted to kill him. He did not even try to dodge and was hit directly by Wutan. Fortunately, although he had a lot of good things on him and was seriously injured, he survived after taking the elixir.
"Buddha, why do you want to kill me?" Guanyin asked. He was really aggrieved. Although he didn't do anything since joining Wutan's camp, he joined with all his heart and didn't do anything to betray Wutan. Therefore, Wutan wanted to take his life without giving an explanation. Guanyin really didn't understand.
"Why? You still dare to ask this Buddha why?" Wu Tian sneered, "It was you who took the relics from the Sutra Library, right?" This question seemed to be a question, but both Guanyin and Wu Tian knew that it was actually an affirmative sentence.
Although Guanyin didn't know how Wutan knew that the relic in the Sutra Repository was in his hands, he had originally planned to give the relic to Wutan, so when Wutan asked, he admitted it without hiding anything.
"Yes, I took it away."
"I originally planned to wait for Zhu Bajie to collect all the other relics and then give them to the Buddha together with the one in the Sutra Library. I didn't want to keep it for myself..."
Guanyin wanted to explain further, but Wutan didn't want to listen anymore. He just wanted to hear Guanyin admit that he was the one who took the relics in the Sutra Library. As for the other relics, whether one or several, Wutan didn't believe it at all.
"Since you admit it, there's nothing more to say."
"Give me your life!" Wu Tian felt ashamed of being deceived and fooled by Guanyin and Tathagata. At this moment, he felt that only by killing Guanyin with his own hands could he wash away his shame, so he began to attack Guanyin again.
Wutan attacked with all his strength, and the already injured Guanyin was simply unable to resist. Guanyin soon fell into a disadvantage and was finally killed by Wutan in a miserable way.
