Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

The two monks in the room looked at each other in confusion. Just as they were doubting, the two bald heads were pressed down together by some force, and they both fainted.

Qin Yi looked down and saw that the young lady fainted on the ground. The maid’s face was flushed and her eyes cast a flirtatious glance. She was still rubbing herself against the two fainted monks. It was obvious that she was already enchanted by the incense.

Qin Yi made a seal, and the maid fainted too.

Looking at the four fainted people on the ground, Qin Yi pondered for a moment. He straightened the women’s clothes, half-hidden them, and sneaked all the way outside. Then, he dragged Jing Ze into the depths of the peach forest.

Jing Ze held his collar in shock and stepped back, “Sir, what are you doing…”

Qin Yi didn’t bother him, revealed the two women, and leaned them against the tree trunk next to Jing Ze.

Jing Ze recovered from the shock state and looked at him.

No wonder he dragged me into the peach forest. He didn’t want to show such “immortal spells” to the crowds outside, and he also didn’t want people to watch what happened to two innocent women.

“Hey, is this the girl you have a crush on?”

Jing Ze was startled, “No… she has a husband, okay? Don’t taint her innocence.”

Qin Yi smacked his tongue twice and looked at him as if Jing Ze was an immortal,” So you secretly painted women just to protect a few? Even if you are mistaken as a pervert and sometimes you got beaten? “

Jing Ze was silent.

Qin Yi sighed, “Why don’t you expose the truth about this temple? Let’s not talk about the one who hooked up voluntarily. How many paintings can you draw in a day and how many people’s souls can you protect? If I didn’t take action just now, this maid would be done. You know, there are countless people who have been toyed with by ecstasies, and I’m afraid there are quite a few who committed suicide out of shame afterward, right? What’s the use of painting a few just for your own peace of mind?”

Jing Ze looked a little desolate, “I want to expose them too, but I don’t have the power.”

Qin Yi said, “I do.”

“Don’t go.” Jing Ze said anxiously, “This temple is not that simple.”

Before he finished speaking, a Buddha’s chant sounded from behind.

“Amitabha.”

Qin Yi turned around and saw a group of monks surrounding him.

“Sir, why did you enter our temple arbitrarily and injure our monks?” An old monk sized up at Qin Yi as he said this. After that, his expression changed slightly. Without waiting for Qin Yi to answer, he changed his imposing demeanor, folded his hands together, and bowed, “I’m Jing Kong. May I ask Sir’s Dharma name?”

Qin Yi was ready for a fight, but he was stupefied by this rapid change of expression, “So polite?”

Jing Kong said, “Sir is a cultivator. Everyone has his own way of being a cultivator.”

Qin Yi burst into laughter. He saw through my Phoenix Initiation Stage perfect stage, so he changed his aggressive manner into reasoning with me. His demeanor changes so quickly without before finishing a sentence.

Having said that, I originally thought that this temple was just deceiving the people, but these monks who protect the temple are also some cultivators. At least the leader, the old monk Jing Kong, is also at level 8 or 9 of the Phoenix Initiation Stage. Based on cultivation alone, he is not much weaker than me.

“I’m Qin Yi.” Qin Yi dusted off his clothes and said with a smile, “I just knocked out your monks, and you guys discovered it instantly? The surveillance of this place is really amazing.”

“Buddha’s light shines everywhere, evil… Oh, of course there will be feedback when something happens. It’s just a simple trick.” The old monk said politely, “Sir should be a reasonable person. If our temple has offended you in anyway, I will apologize. Please show mercy to us, Sir.” The monk apologized.”

“Hmm, of course I’m a reasonable person. It’s best for everyone to be reasonable.” Qin Yi smiled and said, “Your temple didn’t really offend me. I just don’t like you deceiving the innocent women. Tell me how you want to amend.”

“Amitabha.” Jing Kong said, “They are just asking for a child. If they don’t have a child, they are guilty of seven crimes. If our temple gifts them a child without their family knowing, everyone will be happy. Once it is exposed, many families will break up. Don’t you think we are doing the right deed, Sir?”

Qin Yi was still smiling, “Then how do you explain the ecstasy incense?”

“I’m just worried that madams won’t be able to let go of worldly views, so I just gave them a little push…”

Qin Yi was astonished, “It’s really rare that someone can describe ecstasy in such an otherworldly way.”

“Thank you, Sir. Our temple cannot bear to see the pain of childlessness in the world…” The old monk handed over a small wooden fish with a smile, “This wooden fish is blessed with spiritual force. When knocked, it can calm the mind and assist in cultivating. This is a gift to Sir as a bond.”

Qin Yi took the small wooden fish, inspected it a little, and said with a smile, “May I know which sect does your temple originates from?”

Jing Kong looked delightful. “Our temple is the outer door of the Temple Great Joy. We study the harmony of yin and yang, the divine observation, and the dual movement of space and joy. If Sir is interested, you may study together with us to reach the highest realm of joy.”

Qin Yi touched his chin and thought for a while, “From what I get, you just want to extract vitality through sex, right?”

Jing Kong said seriously, “No, this is a misunderstanding. The Dharma of our temple is to first evoke desire, and then lead them to the wisdom of Buddha. The moment of emptiness and no pursuit after ordinary people rejoice in bliss is the Buddha’s state. If one can stay in that state for a long time, he will be a Buddha.”

“So you are pursuing the sage moment?”

“… Sir has excellent understanding. Your fate seems to be intertwined with Buddha.”

Liu Su finally said after a long silent, “Ignore their nonsense. These monks are full of chaotic aura. Who knows how many women’s foundations have they ruined? Gifting child? The more they intercourse the less likely they will have children.”

Qin Yi smiled and said through his mind, “I know. All these sects are a big scam. Their intention is just to extract vitality.”

“It’s good that you know.” Liu Su remained silent again.

Jing Kong was still tempting, “If Sir is really interested, you can be our guest protector without being tonsured. Your authority is just like the abbot.”

Qin Yi smiled and said, “What’s the benefit of that?”

“To be honest, our temple has many goddesses with cultivation, just to serve the Buddha. If Sir is willing, you can enjoy them as you please. Why do you want to reject this blissful state? “

Qin Yi smiled happily and said, “The more I listen to it, the more interested I am. Your temple is really good.”

“Of course.” Jing Kong said with a smile, “That’s why many members of the imperial court have joined our temple. There are many goddesses in our temple who have been carefully selected by the nobles. They are all stunningly beautiful that are rarely seen in the mortal world…”

Jing Ze, who was leaning aside and watching with cold eyes, sighed.

It seems that this Qin Yi is also going to collude with them.

It’s not his fault. There were many chivalrous heroes who wanted to stop them but ended up joining them in the end. Some became the temple’s guardians while others acted as protective umbrellas outside.

Including the city lord.

In addition, the waters run… deep in this Temple Great Joy. They are not just toying with women.

He slowly turned around and left. Maybe I can paint the painting that Myriad Shinra Sect requested.

But just after taking a few steps, Qin Yi said, “I have one last question.”

Jing Kong also felt that Qin Yi must be tempted. How could a young man resist the temptation of beauties? Not to mention it was also beneficial to cultivating.

After listening to Qin Yi’s question, he said readily, “Do ask, Sir.”

“I don’t care how you cultivate yourself, but can you not use ecstasy incense to harm innocent women?”

“Erm, about this…” Jing Kong was a little hesitant, “Low-level monks always have needs, not to mention this is also a part of getting started with cultivating.”

He paused and then said, “You and I are cultivators. Mortals are only nutrients for us, why should we worry about them?”

“This is your cultivation, not mine.” Qin Yi waved his hand, and the mace appeared out of nowhere. He smashed right ahead.

“Bam!” Jing Kong cast a bronze bell, barely blocked it, and staggered several steps back. The bell was about to shatter.

Jing Kong was very shocked and angry, “Didn’t Sir agree to reason?”

“Of course I’m reasoning.” Qin Yi grinned, “I wonder if you have ever heard of a kind of theory(reason) called physics.”
