Chapter 654: The Enlightened Monk

Although he failed to cultivate his state of mind, Shi Chan, as a highly accomplished monk with profound Buddhist knowledge, was not discouraged.

"My two brothers, don't worry about me breaking my vows."

"The road of cultivation is so difficult, how can it be smooth sailing without any ups and downs? Failure is inevitable."

“It is because of failure that we know how precious success is.”

"It is because we know the pleasure of indulging our sexual desires that our mental state becomes stronger after we have successfully tempered it."

"...What if Master Jiesha finds out that you broke the precepts?"

"Only you and I know about this matter. Monks do not tell lies, but you two brothers are not monks. If the master asks, please lie."

Lu Yang signaled Shi Chan that he didn't need to stand to talk, and sat down to drink water: "What if Master Jiesha asks you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Chan's face changed slightly, but when he thought of the consequences of his master finding out, he suddenly relaxed again: "Then I will have no choice but to practice silent meditation as well."

Lu Yang: “…”

As expected of a great monk, he is very thoughtful.

Meng Jingzhou looked at fellow Taoist Shi Chan dimly with a resentful look in his eyes.

It's fine that the ancient pure yang immortal has a girlfriend, but now monks can also visit brothels? So I am the only unlucky one left?

"The Buddha said that you should get up from where you fell. Since I failed today, I will fight again another day after I make some money. I plan to stay in this city for a few days. What are your plans, brothers?"

Meng Jingzhou made a pause gesture: "Are you sure this is what the Buddha said?"

Shi Chan smiled, rolled up his wide sleeves, dipped his index finger in water, drew three circles on the table, and explained:

"Buddhism emphasizes that the past, present and future are one. There are past Buddhas, present Buddhas and future Buddhas. As a Buddhist disciple, of course my goal is to achieve Buddhahood. Although I am not a Buddha yet, I will definitely be one in the future. Since the past, present and future are one, then isn't what I say what the Buddha said?"

Meng Jingzhou felt that Shi Chan joining the Hanging Temple was a loss for the Taoist sect.

Lu Yang asked the immortal fairy who created Buddhism, but he didn't know much about Buddhism.

"Fairy, does Buddhism have this saying?"

"I can't remember clearly. I was only responsible for writing the story. I wasn't responsible for the theoretical aspects."

The immortal fairy was lazily crawling on the lotus throne, hunching over and stretching like a kitten.

At this time, Lu Yang's spiritual space turned into an empty Main Hall with a glazed tile roof, brackets decorated under the eaves, and exquisitely carved doors and windows.

The main hall is very popular, as it enshrines the true body of the Immortal Fairy, the founder of Buddhism, and her lotus platform.

She is the founder of Buddhism, and now all Buddhist monks are her disciples.

Since I have met a disciple, I might as well decorate the second in command's spiritual space to change the feeling.

“Who’s in charge of the theory?”

"Everyone but me."

“…”

"Let me ask you, Brother Shichan, how do you plan to make money?"

Seeing that Shi Chan wanted to make money by reporting the black market, Lu Yang doubted Shi Chan's ability to make money.

"It's a ritual."

"Oh yes, you are a monk." Lu Yang suddenly remembered that Shi Chan was from the Hanging Temple.

Shi Chan looked at Lu Yang in confusion, then looked down at his outfit.

From his attire to his way of doing things, he looks like a monk.

"Then I will take a rest for one night and meet you two here tomorrow morning."

"Wait a minute, do you still have money? Where are you going to live?" Lu Yang grabbed Shi Chan who was in a hurry and was about to leave.

If it is said that Shi Chan was just too poor to buy Lao Meng's blood and could afford to go to the brothel, it is hard to say whether he would have money after going to the brothel.

Shi Chan was forced to be pulled back by Lu Yang and explained, "I am penniless, but anywhere in the world is my home. I have already found a bridge hole. It can't block the wind but it can keep out the rain. There is no wind or rain tonight, which is perfect for accommodation."

Lu Yang was speechless. As both of us are disciples of the Immortal Sect, but we are staying in a hotel while you are staying under a bridge. Would it be acceptable if this got out?

"Anyway, the two of us made a lot of money tonight, so Lao Meng will treat you to a hotel."

Meng Jingzhou glared at Lu Yang and said, "You kid, you want me to pay you to be a good guy?"

Lu Yang comforted Lao Meng: "I'm asking you to do a good deed. Think about it, who is Brother Shichan? He is a high-ranking monk from the Hanging Temple. You usually do a lot of evil things. This time, providing a place for a high-ranking monk to stay is a great merit. I'm giving you this good deed because of the spiritual stones you gave me."

"Get out, get out." Meng Jingzhou didn't buy Lu Yang's trick, but staying in a hotel wouldn't cost much spirit stones, so he might as well treat him.

"It just so happens that I have never seen a Buddhist ritual, so I might as well stay here for a few days to see how you perform the ritual."

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

"Then thank you two brothers."

Seeing that the two were willing to stay in this city, Shi Chan was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe he will have a chance to learn two styles of boxing, and learn from Brother Meng how to control his desires.

The blood of an ordinary single spiritual root would not have this effect. Senior Brother Meng must have pushed himself to the extreme to create the aphrodisiac blood.

He couldn't even bear twenty drops, and he couldn't imagine how Brother Meng, who was covered in blood, could bear it.

Speaking of staying in hotels, Meng Jingzhou has some bad memories.

"We stayed in three hotels in a row, and something happened in all three hotels. It's unlikely that something will happen in the fourth time, right?"

Lu Yang has always been very confident in his luck: "No, think about our experiences. We have encountered so many rounds of battles between the physical stage, the tribulation stage, and the semi-immortal stage, and we have survived them all smoothly without even a scratch."

"This is obviously a sign of our good luck."

Meng Jingzhou thinks you might as well think about why we have encountered so many powerful battles.

The three of them successfully found an inn for monks. This inn had a spirit gathering array inside to help the monks practice.

If it were Lu Yang and his companion, they could just find one at random. They would open their mouths and perform the "Swallow the Sky" technique, and the effect would be better than that of the Spirit Gathering Array.

Adding Zen Buddhism won’t work.

"Boss, three top-grade rooms, please." Meng Jingzhou rarely makes money, and he was happy today, so he booked rooms for three people.

The boss is a man, so it seems that the situation where the brother-in-law will snatch the inheritance will not happen.

There are plenty of top-level rooms, and monks will not fight over which rooms they want.

The three of them arrived at their respective rooms smoothly.

Lu Yang pushed open the door and saw that the room was in a mess. The wardrobe and table were all over the floor. The windows were wide open and the cold wind was blowing in. A man and a woman were wrestling with each other on the bed. The man was dressed in black, holding a dagger, with murderous eyes. The woman was disheveled and struggling desperately. There were bloodstains on her neck, which matched the bloodstains on the dagger.

The room is soundproofed so no sound can get out.

The woman who was struggling desperately felt like she saw hope when she saw Lu Yang.

Lu Yang left the room and took a look at the room number.

Wrong room.
