Chapter 657: Doing Good and Accumulating Virtue

"So how do you plan to attract business? Go door to door and ask?"

Shi Chan shook his head and took out a large banner from his jade identity card. Various services were written on the front of the banner, ranging from exorcising ghosts to seeking children to curing diseases. It was quite comprehensive.

On the back of the banner was written "Price by negotiation".

Shi Chan brought the two of them to the most prosperous area of ​​the city, paid the venue fee, found a small open space, set up a stall, hoisted a big flag, and sat quietly at the table.

His movements were skillful and it looked like this was not the first time he had done this.

Shi Chan kindly brought out two more chairs for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to sit on.

To the left of Shi Chan's stall is a noodle vendor, and to the right is a sesame seed cake vendor. He was holding a big banner similar to that of a fortune teller, and was very conspicuous.

Passersby frequently looked back and noticed this eccentric monk, but because he was too eccentric, no one dared to step forward to ask for help for a while.

Shi Chan felt quite regretful because every time he set up his stall, he did not have much business at the beginning. Later, when people found out that he was indeed a capable monk and lined up to seek help, he saw that there were too many people and too much work to handle, so he left early.

"People in the world lack the spirit of innovation and dare not accept new things. If I had your master's eloquence, I would definitely tell stories in teahouses and spread Buddhism to the world."

This was the first time Lu Yang encountered someone praising his master. He felt flattered. If his master in the netherworld knew about this, he would probably be very pleased.

"By the way, Senior Brother Meng, have you ever considered joining my Buddhist sect? I see that you have a deep affinity with Buddhism and are self-taught. You have developed the Single Curse Fist, so you must be a future Buddha like me."

"…Just because I am a single spiritual root doesn't mean I won't have sex in my life."

Single spiritual people are forced to be single, while Buddhism emphasizes being single voluntarily. These are two different things.

Meng Jingzhou had already inquired with the Immortal Fairy through Lu Yang. As long as he became an immortal, he would not be restricted by his single spiritual root and could release his sexual desire at will.

"Brother Meng, your argument is wrong. Buddhism advocates that doing good deeds and accumulating virtues can bring good luck. A nun once asked the Buddha, if someone originally did evil things, but accidentally did good things, can it bring good luck? The Buddha replied that it can, and for those who do good deeds, we judge by their deeds, not their hearts."

"So?" Meng Jingzhou was confused and didn't understand what Shi Chan wanted to explain.

"What I meant is to judge by deeds rather than by heart. Brother Meng, although you were forced to have no affinity with the opposite sex, in fact, you have achieved the Buddhist requirement of staying away from lust, which is a manifestation of your deep affinity with Buddhism."

Meng Jingzhou: “…”

Just wait and see when you can save up enough money to go to a brothel. I will book the brothel in advance and give you twenty drops of aphrodisiac blood. You will be suffocated to death!

There was no business for a while, so Lu Yang chatted with the old man who was buying noodles on his left, and Meng Jingzhou chatted with the uncle who was selling sesame cakes on his right.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was finally some business.

The visitor was dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing gold and silver jewelry, with a jade ring on each thumb of his left and right hands, and had a big belly.

"Master, I have been unlucky recently. I have been having bad luck and several deals have failed. Can you help me make money?"

Shi Chan had a calm expression and clasped his hands together: "Donor, if I could make money, I wouldn't be setting up a stall here."

“…”

It was the first time that the rich businessman had met such a frank young monk. He thought that the other party would talk nonsense, persuade him to pay the incense money, and then pretend to pray for wealth for him.

Shi Chan introduced a second method: "If the donor does not want money, then you can ask for help from my senior brother. Senior Brother Meng is very wealthy, and if you ask him for money, you can borrow money from him."

"Donors can also do more good deeds to offset their bad luck."

The rich businessman felt that the little monk was not very reliable, shook his head and left.

Seeing the rich businessman leave, the Immortal Fairy shook her head slightly, feeling a little regretful.

"It's confusing."

In the main hall, the immortal fairy was wearing a cassock and sitting on a lotus platform. Her appearance was dignified, but her little feet were a little restless, and her pink toes, as tender as pearls, kept moving.

"Who is confused?" Lu Yang was confused.

"That rich businessman doesn't know how to appreciate kindness and won't listen to advice."

"This Immortal has always advocated doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Doing more good deeds will surely dispel the bad luck on him."

"This Immortal advocates doing good deeds and accumulating virtues based on the insights gained from this Immortal's own experience. This Immortal has had a smooth life, which is related to doing good deeds, being generous and kind, and being willing to help others."

"Thinking back to the time when I was yet to become an immortal, the world was in chaos and people were killing people like flies. If two people fought, one of them would definitely die."

"I once fought against people of higher rank and defeated Yingtian and Qilin. Not only did I spare their lives, I also cooked for them, turning hostility into friendship. For a time, I praised this as a great story."

"Buddhists often say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The reason for this comes from this incident."

"In ancient times, communication was very limited. If you wanted to learn something from others, you not only had to go through harsh tests, but also swear an oath. Even so, you might not be able to learn anything real. The master would have several tricks up his sleeve. Even worse, there were those who used their skills to control their disciples, such as casting curses or something like that."

"This immortal is different. This immortal saw that Lianyi and Xiaoling were both very talented in cultivation, so I taught them cooking and the art of pretending to be dead."

"As for the barbarians, I saw that they were stupid by nature and had all the strength but didn't know how to use it, so I helped them to enlighten their minds and make them stronger."

After listening to the Immortal Fairy's stories, Lu Yang finally understood what strength really meant.

Could it be that he had done so many evil things that he attracted the Immortal Fairy, a scourge that brought him bad luck? After the failure of the first business, Shi Chan was not discouraged and continued to wait for the second business.

"Hey, little monk, why are you here? Are you out of money?"

A pretty woman stopped and looked at Shi Chan with interest.

"It turns out to be the donor Miaoshan."

"Who is this?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

"Let me introduce you. This is the donor Miaoshan from Chunxiang Tower. She is one of the many female donors who served me last night."

Last night, after Shi Chan refined twenty drops of pure yang blood, in order to achieve the best effect of polishing his state of mind, he called several female donors to Chunxiang Tower to test him.

"Little monk, if you have no money, I can serve you once for free." Miao Shan licked her lips, looking seductive.

"Donor Miaoshan, you are joking. I did not withstand the test last night and failed to hone my mind. But it has only been one night. At this moment, I am calm and will definitely not be tempted by you."

Seeing that Shi Chan refused, Miao Shan was quite disappointed.

She noticed the business written on the big banner held by Shi Chan with her peripheral vision and asked:

"What if I say I want to have a child?"

"The donor needs to pay."

Meng Jingzhou's eyes turned red. Is this the result of Buddhism and Zen practicing good deeds?

The second update will be at 11 o'clock
