"Wake up, wake up!" In a daze, Hana Erlang felt someone slapping his face and a voice calling his name.
Just as Hanajiro was about to open his eyes, a stream of icy water suddenly poured over his head! Hanajiro was jolted awake and sat up abruptly! He looked around in a daze...
"What did you say? He went to those two Asuras all by himself? Does he have a death wish?" the leader roared angrily.
He hurriedly led his men towards the inn where the Three Wolves lived...
"What exactly happened here?" the leader asked anxiously, grabbing the hunchbacked shopkeeper by the collar.
"Nothing much, just that last night a drunkard caused a ruckus, so we beat him up and threw him out on the street. Then, still not satisfied, he tried to harass the female guests staying at our inn, so we beat him up again. We were about to take him to the authorities when he slunk away! Were you with him? I bet you were! Look what he's done to my inn! You have to pay for this, or I'll take you to the authorities!" The hunchbacked innkeeper said angrily, then grabbed the leader's clothes, determined not to let go.
The leader stared at the hole in the wall of the inn, his anger burning fiercely. If he found this rebellious son, he would break one of his dog's legs!
"Where am I now? Where are you taking me?" Hua Erlang looked at Luo Meili's captivating smile, his head spinning. He never expected that he was still in the hands of these two demons.
"Didn't you say you were going to arrest us and bring us to the imperial court? Well, here we are, following you back! Hehe," Luo Meilihua found it hilarious to see Hua Erlang's terrified expression.
"Are you two going to the imperial court?" Hua Erlang was speechless. He never expected that these two devils would be so lawless as to dare to go to the imperial court, where dragons and tigers roam!
"What? Such a great achievement, don't you want it? The two of us are the top targets of your court's wanted list. It seems that those famous temples and shrines need to be taught a lesson. I only took a little bit of stuff from them, and I didn't even say I wouldn't return it. They even went to the emperor to complain. Just wait until I get back, I'll teach them a lesson!" Luo Meilihua said angrily.
“How could I not have thought of that? If we can’t find any clues in these famous temples and shrines, then what place has more ancient books than these famous temples and shrines? That would be the imperial court! I think we’ll definitely find something when we go to the imperial court this time!” Sanlang said.
Hua Erlang looked at the two ruthless bandits beside him, unsure of what to do. He hadn't expected these two reckless bandits to set their sights on the capital city of the imperial court. Didn't they know that the capital city was where the most talented people in the court were concentrated? Since the two were going to their deaths, he would gladly accept it.
"Huh? Wasn't my spine and cervical vertebrae broken by that monster? How come I'm sitting upright on a flying beast now? Was all my experience just a nightmare? Did nothing actually happen?" Hua Erlang moved his whole body in disbelief, feeling as if nothing had changed. He was overjoyed, but seeing the two demons in front of him, his joy vanished. Now he could only pray that once they reached Tiandu, these two demons would treat him like a fart and let him go.
"Little one, we've never been to Tiandu before. When we get there, could you show us around? We're completely unfamiliar with the place, so we'll have to rely on you then," Luo Meili looked at Hua Erlang with her phoenix eyes, which captivated him.
He knew perfectly well that this woman was a demon, but he had no defense or immunity to her every smile and frown, and could only sink deeper and deeper...
He knew perfectly well that the dazzling flower in front of him was poisonous, but he was completely unable to extricate himself from it. It was as if he could only survive if he poured out his heart and soul to this woman and devoted himself to her completely...
"Wow! I didn't expect Tiandu to be so big! Hahaha... There are so many people down there, it's so lively! Little brother, please take us down quickly, I want to go down right now!" Luo Meilihua said, holding Hua Erlang's hand. Hua Erlang was completely captivated and obeyed Luo Meilihua's every word. He piloted his flying beast and swooped down towards Tiandu...
"Little brother, I want this, I want this too, and this too..." Hua Erlang was completely disoriented, with Luo Meilihua holding his arm. He bought her whatever she wanted, while the three wolves behind him followed obediently, their heads wrapped in black cloth, leading their flying beasts.
Luo Meili's unparalleled beauty captivated men and women of all ages walking the streets, driving young women and wives to the brink of madness with envy! Countless men and women were mesmerized by this elegant yet alluring, pure yet charming woman.
On this street, any item that Luo Meilihua had caught and then put back would be swarmed by these men, who would desperately try to buy it. But the stall owners were quick-witted and would stuff it into their pockets, then secretly take it out to smell it, looking quite pleased with themselves, which infuriated the men, young and old.
Tiandu! Dongguan Street! The Luo Meili Flower is now blooming like a beautiful flower, exuding a faint, irresistible fragrance that attracts countless bees and butterflies like moths to a flame.
Hua Erlang had been overwhelmed by the passion of these mad bees and butterflies, and his legs had been broken by these fanatical admirers of Luo Meilihua. He lay on the ground, ignored by everyone. If Sanlang hadn't grabbed Hua Erlang without making a sound and thrown him onto the flying beast, he might have become a dead soul under the feet of these fanatics!
Luo Meilihua has more and more admirers, but Luo Meilihua is like a colorful butterfly flitting among these people who are obsessed with her, making people's imaginations run wild, but she seems to be so close yet so far away!
The entire Dongguan Street was in an uproar, with countless men and women who had come from far and wide blocking the street! Even the city guards' arrival was of no use!
Luo Meilihua sat elegantly in a carriage, greeting her admirers with a slight smile. Countless literati and poets came to Luo Meilihua, praising their dream lover with their most magnificent verses and words. The area was surrounded by layers of people, not allowing anyone else to squeeze in!
"Amitabha! Excellent, excellent! This female benefactor has remarkable skills. This humble monk sees that you have an affinity with Buddha. I wish to guide you out of this mortal world and into the Buddha's fold. Buddha is merciful; lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!" A monk, holding one hundred and eight beads of severing dust in his left hand and a nine-ringed staff in his right, arrived at Dongguan Street on auspicious seven-colored clouds, looking down at Luo Meilihua from above!
"Master, the mortal world is so much fun, why choose to enter the monastic life? Look at these ordinary people, their true nature is revealed when they see things they like. Master, the seven emotions and six desires are the foundation of humanity. If everyone believed in your Buddhism and gave up all seven emotions and six desires, becoming detached from all worldly desires and achieving the state of desirelessness that your Buddhists pursue, would these people still be considered human? They would be nothing more than walking corpses, no different from scarecrows," Luo Meilihua said with a smile to the monk riding on auspicious seven-colored clouds.
“Amitabha, well said, well said! You are mistaken, female benefactor. The root of all suffering lies in one’s own desires! Only by taking refuge in the Buddha can one escape the mundane world, overcome the seven emotions and six desires, transcend all illusory desires, attain emptiness of the four elements, and become a Buddha! One can then ascend to the Pure Land and live forever! What is impossible about that!” The monk looked at Luo Meilihua with a peaceful expression, and a golden light of Buddha shone from his entire body, making him appear even more sacred and solemn!
"According to what you're saying, Master, after Pangu separated heaven and earth, when Nuwa created humans, she shouldn't have given us all those seven emotions, six desires, and all sorts of other nonsense. Otherwise, you and your Buddhism would have to keep nagging people to abstain from this and that. According to you, Master, all these desires in our human world are gifts from Nuwa. Does that mean you're saying that Nuwa was wrong?" Luo Meilihua tilted her head and looked at the monk on the auspicious seven-colored cloud and asked.
"Amitabha, well done, well done. Nuwa's creation of humans was a great merit. However, when Nuwa created humans, she never imagined that human desires would grow bigger and bigger, and that desires would lead to more and more bitter consequences. Therefore, out of compassion, Buddha could not bear to see the masses of people in the mortal world struggling in the sea of suffering. So Buddha saves those with affinity from the sea of suffering and helps them ascend to the bliss of eternal life!"
Female benefactor, this old monk sees that you have an affinity with the Buddha. This old monk will now guide you out of the sea of suffering. Amitabha! Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore! When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus crossed over to all suffering and distress.
Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this.
"Shariputra, all dharmas are empty of inherent existence; they are neither produced nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing..." The monk began chanting aloud atop the auspicious seven-colored clouds!
Those who were initially obsessed with Luo Meili Flower began to regain their clarity of mind under the influence of the Buddhist chants, but only for a moment before they were controlled by the chants!
The humans surrounding Luo Meilihua began to be corrupted by the Buddhist chants, and countless people began to sit cross-legged and chant Buddhist mantras!
The monk sitting cross-legged on the auspicious seven-colored clouds had transformed into a radiant golden Buddha statue! The Buddha's light from the auspicious seven-colored clouds cascaded down towards Dongguan Street like a waterfall!
Luo Meilihua's situation is now very dire. After the monk on the auspicious seven-colored clouds forcibly converted all the people surrounding Luo Meilihua, they formed a golden lotus! Luo Meilihua is now located at the stamen of this golden lotus!
Luo Meilihua looked around at the golden Buddha and Arhat statues all around her, and countless Buddha statues pressed down on her. She began to resist!
A melodious and pleasant cry suddenly rang out from the golden lotus, which sounded like a spring breeze and refreshed the mind. A colorful swallow tried to fly out of the lotus and soar into the sky, wanting to break free from the lotus's restraints and run towards freedom. However, it was already firmly bound by the lotus and had no way to break free!
The Buddha's light has transformed the entire Dongguan Street into a Buddhist kingdom, with countless Buddha statues layered upon each other in every corner! It seems this monk is determined to convert Luo Meilihua!
"You keep talking about being compassionate, but you force people to convert if they don't want to. You're so noisy!" Suddenly, a loud roar erupted, like a thunderclap on Dongguan Street, right next to the monk!
The monk, who was still immersed in chanting, was startled by the sudden shout, and his whole body trembled. The Buddhist light flowing around him also trembled! The monk's originally very peaceful and serene face suddenly showed pain, and then his eyes bulged, and he spat out a mouthful of golden blood!
The lotus flower below vanished instantly. Luo Meilihua quickly rose from the ground into the air and, without a word, swooped down towards the monk still sitting on the auspicious seven-colored cloud. She had almost fallen for this old bald monk's trick; he had to die! Two curved blades appeared in Luo Meilihua's hands, slashing directly at the monk's neck!
"You fiend!" the monk roared, already suffering a backlash and no match for Luo Meilihua. With a flick of his left hand, the 108 Dust-Severing Pearls shot towards Luo Meilihua! Luo Meilihua could only deflect the incoming pearls with her curved blade!
The monk tried to escape, but unexpectedly, a dark red stone club was silently smashing down on his head from behind!
With a deafening boom, the void trembled slightly! The stone staff was saved by the monk's true form, but its own true form was destroyed by this unsportsmanlike blow! It spat out another mouthful of blood, this time turning it red!
The auspicious seven-colored clouds have dispersed! Three Wolves dragged the already dejected monk to Luo Meilihua. Luo Meilihua smiled at Three Wolves, and then plunged the two curved knives in her hands directly into the monk's ribs!
"You two actually dared to kill members of the Buddhist sect! We Buddhists will never let you get away with this! After you die, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell! You will never be able to be reborn!" The monk endured the excruciating pain, his face contorted with rage as he glared at the three wolves and Luo Meilihua, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"I have absolutely no affinity with your so-called Buddhist sect. You provoked me first. I'm just stating the facts. If we can't win an argument, we can cultivate and comprehend ourselves properly. It's not like you're forcing people to join you regardless of their wishes. And you still claim to be detached from worldly desires? What 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form'! I only want to be with my man for life. He is my paradise, he is my everything!" Luo Meilihua said with a smile as she looked at the ferocious-looking monk, then raised the two curved knives in her hands, preparing to slash at the monk's neck!
"Fellow Daoist, wait! Please spare his life! Although this monk is extremely annoying, killing him here will cause you great trouble. So hand him over to me, and I can protect you!" Just as Luo Meilihua was about to end the monk's life, a voice suddenly spoke.
"Hehe, thank you then!" Luo Meili smiled slightly at the person who looked like a hermit and said.
"We're all on the same path, let's have a friendly spar..." Before the man could finish speaking, Luo Meilihua's twin blades slashed across the monk's throat, and the monk's bald head plummeted from mid-air to Dongguan Street below, smashing to pieces like a watermelon!
"Sorry, I didn't catch it just now, I didn't react in time!" Sanlang said apologetically.
"It's alright, just be more careful next time!" Luo Meili said to the three wolves with tenderness.
"Do you know where this is?" The man looked at Sanlang and Luo Meilihua with a gloomy expression, seeing that these two people had not given him any face at all and had killed the monk in front of him.
“I know, it’s the capital of the imperial court! This is our first time here, so we don’t know where to go, so we just wander around!” Luo Meili Hua said.
"Do you know who this monk is?" the man asked again.
"I know, I hate it! I was just shopping, and he insisted that I had some kind of connection with his damn Buddhist sect. I didn't want to, so he resorted to this low-down trick. It seems that even the capital city isn't very safe; it's full of swindlers and human traffickers." Luo Meilihua said, pouting.
"Hmph, you're all talk and no action now, just don't cry later! You two monsters! Daring to cause trouble in Tiandu! Take this!" This person started fighting without saying a word.
"Are you fucking crazy?!" Luo Meilihua said, then kicked the headless monk's corpse towards the man. The man saw that it was a headless monk's corpse and tried to catch it, but Luo Meilihua followed closely behind. Just as the man grabbed the headless monk's corpse, Luo Meilihua's twin swords were already stabbing towards the man through the monk's corpse!
With a cold snort, the man blasted the monk's corpse apart and gripped the menacing twin swords in his hands! Luo Meilihua, unfazed by the man's grip on her swords, even gave him a charming smile. By the time the man sensed something was wrong, the stone club behind him was already crashing down on her head!
This person looked at the three wolves and Luo Meilihua not far away with an unfriendly expression. These two were really not easy to deal with. He didn't expect that he had almost suffered a loss. If it weren't for the Daoist who was hiding in the shadows transmitting his voice to him, he might have ended up like this monk, with his head blown open.
"It seems that all the people in Tiandu are like this? They're always fighting and killing each other. Wouldn't it be better if everyone sat down together, chatted, drank tea, and talked about life and ideals?" Luo Meili said, looking at the person not far away.
"You beasts! Don't be so arrogant! This is not a place for you to run wild!" This person stood in the void, looking angrily at the three wolves and Luo Meilihua. He had no chance of winning against two opponents, so he could only say a few words from a distance to save face.
"What did we do to deserve this? We just came here to have some fun. Are you all ganging up on us out-of-towners?" Luo Meilihua said. Suddenly, she saw Hua Erlang, who was still below Dongguan Street, leading his flying beast. Taking advantage of her not paying attention to him, he was preparing to sneak away!
"Brother Hua, where are you rushing off to? Could you give us a ride?" Luo Meili Hua asked sweetly, looking at Hua Erlang below.
Hua Erlang froze, his face contorting in agony! Sanlang and Luo Meili ignored the man and followed Hua Erlang back to Dongguan Street.
Hua Erlang finally managed to wake up from the monk's chanting and Sanlang's shout, and was about to leave when his legs were broken by those beasts who were obsessed with Luo Meilihua. He finally recovered and was about to leave quietly, but this woman still discovered him. Now he's doomed!
"I'm going home." This means I'm going home, and you can leave me alone. If you like killing, keep killing; if you like shopping, keep shopping. I'm not going to keep you company!
“Okay, let’s go home. It’s too dangerous outside. It’s safer at home!” Luo Meili agreed, and then the two of them followed the miserable-looking Hua Erlang out of Dongguan Street…
"Huh? Erlang, why are you the only one back? Where are your father and the others?" An elderly woman who looked quite wealthy saw the dejected Erlang and asked with some doubt, "Weren't you supposed to go out on a mission together? Why is only Erlang back now? Could it be that they...?" The old woman's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.
“Mother, what are you thinking? My father and the others are all fine there. I missed you, so I came back alone.” Hua Erlang said, supporting the old woman.
"You miss me? I bet you've had another fight with your father, haven't you?" No one knows a child better than his mother, and Hua Erlang's lie was immediately seen through by her.
"Auntie, your yard is so big!" Just as Hua Erlang's mother was about to scold her son, a very pleasant woman's voice suddenly rang out.
"You brought a girl home?" The old woman's tone was full of surprise. She never expected that after urging him every day and every year, her son would finally see the light and bring his daughter-in-law home.
"Mother, please don't misunderstand. She's just my friend, not at all what you think," Hua Erlang quickly explained, afraid that his mother would misunderstand and anger these two killing gods, which would put them both in grave danger!
"Hehehe, Mother knows, they're friends. Girlfriend, huh? Hehehe, come, come, girl, let Auntie see you. Tsk tsk tsk... so pretty! Come, come, let's go inside and talk. How did you two meet...?" The old woman's eyes lit up when she saw Luo Meilihua. If this woman became her daughter-in-law, her ancestors must have accumulated countless blessings. Look at that delicate face, almond-shaped eyes, big eyes, all the right features, tsk tsk tsk, if she were married, wouldn't they have a house full of children and grandchildren!
The old woman took Luo Meilihua's hand and went into the inner room. She also instructed Hua Erlang to go to the street to get some good wine and food so that she could treat her future daughter-in-law well.
"Mother, listen to me, she..." Hua Erlang wanted to explain the situation to his mother, but she was already bewitched by Luo Meilihua. He could only helplessly look at the three wolves following behind, afraid that they might hit him and his mother with a stick if they got angry.
"Didn't you hear what your mother said? She told you to go buy something to eat. I'm starving too." Sanlang said coldly, looking at Hua Erlang's helpless expression.
Hanajiro looked at Sanlang as if he were at home, went to the armchair in the courtyard, lay down on it, and started rocking leisurely...
"Child, who is this person?" The old woman looked at Sanlang with some doubt and asked Hua Erlang.
“I’m his brother. Erlang said his home is in Tiandu. We’re from a poor, remote area and have never seen a bustling metropolis like Tiandu, so my sister wanted to come and see it. I was a little worried about my parents, so I asked them to come with me!” Sanlang said unhurriedly.
"Oh, I see. Alright, alright. After we finish eating, I'll have Erlang take you around. Just tell Erlang what you want to buy, don't be shy. I don't know your preferences, so I'd appreciate it if you two siblings could pick out a couple more things for your parents as well..." the old woman said very warmly.
Just as the family was chatting happily after dinner, someone knocked on the door of Hanajiro's house!
"Who is it?" the old woman asked.
"Has Hua Erlang gone home?" someone outside asked.
"Yes, he just got back today. Is there anything I can help you with?" the old woman asked, glancing at Hua Erlang.
"Open the door first, we need to see Hua Erlang, we have something to say to him!" The person outside spoke somewhat curtly.
"Erlang, go open the door. Girl, come inside with me. We shouldn't meddle in the affairs between men," the old woman said, pulling Luo Meilihua up and into the inner room.
“It must be someone from the Yin-Yang Judge!” Only Sanlang and Hua Erlang were left outside. Hua Erlang said to Sanlang as he went to open the door.
Hua Erlang opened the door, and there were more than a dozen people standing outside. All of them were dressed in dark blue armor and were staring at Sanlang and Hua Erlang with predatory eyes.
"Everyone, what's the matter?" Hanajiro asked expressionlessly, looking at his colleagues outside.
"Oh, you've only been gone a short while, and you already think you're some old hand? Talking to us like that?" A person standing next to him said sarcastically, looking at Hua Erlang's attitude.
"If you have something to say, say it; if not, get lost. I'm very busy!" Seeing these people mocking him, Hua Erlang realized there was no need to keep up the act any longer!
"Brother Hua, don't be angry. We've received orders from above. We heard you brought back two very capable people this time, so the order is for you to bring them with you and come with us!" the leader said.
"Up there? Which one? Is it Old Man Nie or Old Man Dongfang? If it's Old Man Nie, I'm busy today. If it's Old Man Dongfang, I'll go right away!" Hua Erlang said.
"This is an order from Old Man Nie and Old Man Dongfang! So let's hurry up and leave. You know how unpredictable and eccentric their superiors are, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When we arrived, the old man was in a good mood. If you delay any longer, I really won't know what will happen!" The leader said to Hua Erlang with a smile.
"Damn it, this is terrible!" Hua Erlang screamed and rushed into the inner room like his pants were on fire. Inside, he heard Luo Meilihua scream, followed by the old woman's cursing...
Hua Erlang, pulling Luo Meilihua along and then taking the three wolves with him, immediately mounted his flying beast and hurriedly left, ignoring even the fellow travelers blocking the entrance...
"Hurry up, hurry up, get down, let's go in," Hua Erlang landed on a wide square in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. He hurriedly told Sanlang and Luo Meilihua to get down quickly, and then led the two of them into the magnificent hall...
"Grandpa Huang, what brings you here? I just got back from outside. As soon as I heard you were here, I rushed over to kowtow to you!" Hua Erlang knelt on the ground, looking very obedient and sensible, not daring to raise his head.
Three people were sitting in the main hall. The one on the left was dressed in a black robe and looked very energetic. His eyes, which seemed to see right through people, were fixed on Sanlang and Luo Meilihua. He completely ignored Hua Erlang below.
Sitting in the middle was a very thin old man. He squatted on the chair in the middle, looking at Hanajiro kneeling and kowtowing below. He ruffled his messy hair and looked at Hanajiro with a bewildered expression. He wanted to take his hands out of his pockets, but he was reluctant to do so, which made people laugh!
The one on the right is also an old man. This old man is wearing a gaudy robe and is smiling as he looks down at Hua Erlang, who is still kowtowing.
"Get up, come to me," the old man on the left said with a gloomy face, begging Hua Erlang to come to his side.
"Oh," Hua Erlang replied, then scurried over to the old man.
"Why aren't you two kneeling?" The tallest old man in the middle looked at Sanlang and Luo Meilihua standing there. Hua Erlang had already left after kneeling, but these two still hadn't knelt down for him. Were they really not taking him seriously?
“We didn’t come here to kneel, we came here to have fun. Hua Erlang said that your Yin Yang Si Pan is a lot of fun, so we asked him to bring us here!” Luo Meili Hua said, looking at the little old man in the middle.
"Why did you kill Monk Yizhen? What grudge did you have?" the old man on the right asked, looking at Sanlang and Luo Meilihua with a very kind smile, which made people feel a sense of intimacy.
“What do you mean, a real monk or a fake monk? We don’t know him. Are you sure you’ve got the right person?” Luo Meilihua said.
"Monk Yizhen is dead? Good riddance! I hate that kind of person the most. He makes such a big deal out of recruiting people, and it's all so pretentious. It feels like he's just deceiving people." The little old man in the middle said with great joy, waving his arms.
"Judge Huang, this monk Yizhen was just traveling around Tiandu. Now he has died in Tiandu. What if the Buddhists come to question us?" Dongfang Liu asked.
"Buddhism? They're in the Western Paradise, more than 108,000 miles away from here! When they come, hehe, who knows if we old folks will be the judges of Yin and Yang then? Why worry so much?" the old man said nonchalantly.
"Huang Jinghou, one of my Buddhist disciples has passed away in your Tiandu. Don't you owe me an explanation?" Just as the old man finished speaking, a very loud voice rang out from outside.
"Damn it, they came so fast!" the old man Huang Jingyi muttered, then reluctantly got off his seat in the main hall and walked outside.
"Don't go out yet, let's go outside and check the situation first!" Dongfang Liu instructed Hua Erlang and Sanlang.
"They're not even members of our Yin-Yang Judges, why should we help them?" The old man surnamed Nie glared at Sanlang and Luo Meilihua with great resentment, and then complained.
Above the square, several eminent monks, their bodies radiating golden light, sat cross-legged atop patches of auspicious, colorful clouds. Leading them was an old man with a white beard!
"What Buddhist monks? We didn't see any! Are you mistaken?" Huang Jingyi shaded his eyes with his hand, feeling that the golden light of the Buddha was too dazzling and harmful to his eyes.
"Our Master Yizhen was traveling here when he was murdered by two villains. These two villains were brought back from outside by you, Hua Erlang, the Judge of Yin and Yang. And now these two people are right here with you! Don't you have any explanation for this?" the leading old monk asked.
"But I heard that one of your monks, Yizhen, saw that the girl was pretty and wanted to forcibly convert her into a member of your Buddhist sect, and then take the girl to offer as a tribute to his master. Tsk tsk tsk... It seems that this monk Yizhen is really too filial. If I had such a filial disciple, I would be laughing in my sleep!" Dongfang Liu said.
“Fellow Daoist Dongfang is joking. We Buddhists are free from desires and delusions, and we are empty of all worldly desires. Of all evils, lust is the worst. How could we Buddhists possibly break the precept against lust?” said the leading old monk.
"Hehe, really? What about your Happy Buddha? This boss is even more adept at it than some of the young guys!" Huang Jingao suddenly said.
The monks on the auspicious seven-colored cloud all changed their expressions, and then they all stared at the yellow heron below, their eyes filled with the look of wanting to lift this ungrateful old bastard up and beat him up.
“The Buddha of Joy is one of us in Buddhism, but the Dharma is boundless. We should cultivate whatever Dharma comes our way!” the old monk said.
“Then go and call the Buddha of Joy over. His disciple died because he was looking for beautiful women for him. Your Buddhist practices are different from his, so you should mind your own business!” Dongfang Liu also started to argue unreasonably.
"What should I do? What should I do? My two troublemakers have already caught up with us here. I'm really doomed now. I haven't even found a wife yet, and my mother is so old. I'm always running around with my father and I haven't been able to spend much time with her. I'm such an unfilial son!" Hua Erlang cried out in despair in the main hall.
"What are you howling about? You're not dead yet! What are you afraid of! Take life and death lightly, if you're not convinced, then fight! Look at you, you coward! Humph! No wonder no girl wants you!" Luo Meili looked at Hua Erlang's disgusting appearance with snot and tears.
"As I have already said, Yizhen is not a disciple of the Buddha of Joy, but a disciple of my senior brother. To avoid any unpleasantness between us, you only need to hand over the souls of the three villains and my nephew Yizhen to me, and then we will let bygones be bygones! Otherwise!" The old monk's tone became somewhat stern.
"Otherwise what would you do? So you and your senior brother are disciples and grand-disciples of the Buddha of Bliss. No wonder the disciples you've taught are all about the same. I'm a little curious, how many beauties could your grandmaster, the Buddha of Bliss, have in one night? Where did you find these beauties? Could that be... cough cough, don't mind me, a friend of mine asked me to ask for him!" Huang Jinghou had an expression that said it had nothing to do with me, and he looked as serious as could be.
"This is outrageous! Om Mani Padme Hum!" The old monk was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he struck the yellow heron below!
“Oh dear, look, look, they’re getting anxious! Getting anxious means we were right! We’ve hit their lungs! Hahaha…” Huang Jingzi easily dodged the old monk’s attack and then said to the two old men behind him.
“Exactly, what’s the big deal? Since they’ve already done something shameless, they still want to give themselves a good reputation. They really want both the credit and the reputation. There’s no such thing as a free lunch!” Dongfang Liu chimed in.
Nie Chu looked at the two madmen, rubbing his forehead, speechless. It seemed that a peaceful resolution was impossible. These monks seemed indifferent to everything, appearing calm and detached, as if they were above worldly affairs and very carefree. In reality, they harbored deep resentment towards those who had offended them!
"Since you, Judge Huang, are unwilling to hand over the murderer, then I will have to take matters into my own hands!" After saying this, the old monk took off his bright yellow cassock and threw it into the air!
This robe suddenly transformed into a sky-covering canopy! It seemed poised to envelop the entire Yin-Yang Judge's Palace!
"Heh heh, you dare to act wildly here? Don't you know that when I, Huang Fengzi, go crazy, I'm even willing to hit myself?" Huang Jingzi snorted coldly and grabbed the old monk's cassock!
When the old monk saw the old man suddenly grab his robe, he felt incredibly uneasy. However, he began to exert all his strength to control the robe, trying to break free from the old man's grasp!
But no matter how hard he tried, Huang Jingou held his robe tightly in his hand, looking at him with ill intent. The old monk panicked even more and hurriedly called on his companions who were backing him up to pull hard, trying to snatch his robe back from the hands of this hateful old man!
At the same time, a colorful auspicious cloud suddenly descended upon Hua Erlang's house...
