"Ha, not at all, it was just something I did casually, please don't laugh at me."
After speaking, Fang Bai walked directly to Ci Hai's side, glanced at him, took a deep breath, and read aloud:
"Having traveled to the ends of the earth, I realize that living in the mountains is the only way to truly appreciate life."
"In the past, when I passed by the mutton street, I would get covered in mutton smell."
Upon hearing this poem, all the guests present applauded and cheered.
"Well said, he's gotten himself into a mess too!"
"Just like right now, it's so evocative!"
"Looks like even monks can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, hahaha..."
For a time, praise and ridicule were incessant.
"Give up, it's hopeless."
Shen Zhao didn't know what words to use to describe the desolation and helplessness in his heart at this moment, so he simply gave up and stopped caring.
What the hell is all this? Just how bad has the literary world of the Holy Land fallen?
Little did Cihai know that hearing these words would cause him immense inner turmoil, and would deepen his karmic burdens.
"Could it be that I am truly an incorrigible lecherous monk?"
A sudden demon arose within him, and in his consciousness, he became a notorious womanizer, ruining countless innocent women.
Deep within his consciousness, a faint black aura rose up, gradually obscuring the Buddha's light, threatening to pull him into an even deeper abyss.
Just as Cihai's Daoist heart was about to crumble and he seemed to be falling into the demonic path—
"The karmic retribution of three lifetimes originates from mortal roots!"
Shen Zhaolang's clear and resonant recitation was like a ray of morning sun shining on the consciousness realm that Cihai was gradually swallowing.
"The karmic connections of the six realms have no end!"
"Benevolence is never its true nature!"
"All things, regardless of life and death, are empty gates!"
In an instant, Cihai reshaped his Daoist heart.
"The cycle of life and death is an empty gate. Yes, everything is illusory, everything is empty, so why should I be attached?"
Upon comprehending the Buddhist principles, Cihai was enveloped in a radiant light that blinded people.
"Ah, I've got it!"
The next moment, he slowly got up, walked to Shen Zhao, opened his eyes, and put his hands together in a gesture of respect.
"Thank you for enlightening me, benefactor. Please accept my bow."
"Greetings, Master." Shen Zhao stopped him from kneeling. "Master is a highly accomplished monk."
"It was merely a momentary lapse in judgment, a moment of being misled by karmic obstacles. I was simply guiding you back to your true nature and to rediscover your Daoist heart."
"Amitabha."
Cihai bowed again.
"Benefactor, I owe you a favor. If needed, I will do my best to help you."
After speaking, Cihai turned around, holding a Buddhist lamp, and left the gate of Yupinxuan step by step amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
bite--
The bell rang again.
Qingniao's pretty face flushed red, and her breathing became rapid. She immediately announced again: "In the second poetry contest, this young master still wins."
At the same time, he thought to himself: Is his literary talent also this outstanding? Why can he do everything?
As soon as he finished speaking, the talented men and beautiful women present erupted in thunderous cheers.
There's no way around it; the poetic imagery is on a completely different level.
There's no way to argue with that.
Dong Chao's face was contorted with rage.
If it weren't for the fact that he lost many experts during the day in dealing with "Ren Piaomiao", he would have definitely torn Shen Zhao to pieces.
"The second competition will test your musical skills; all you talented individuals, please prepare accordingly."
I will state the relevant rules and conditions; as long as the requirements are met,
Furthermore, if the pronunciation and lyrics match well and my young lady approves, then it's a win.
After Qingniao finished speaking, her gaze swept gently around the hall, then deliberately lingered on Shen Zhao, her cheeks flushing slightly.
