Reasoning

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

The two monks, one big and one small, looked at each other in bewilderment. Just as they were hesitating, they were suddenly forced together by some tremendous force and slammed into each other, knocking them unconscious.

Qin Yi looked down and saw that the young lady had fainted on the ground, and the maid was flushed and had seductive eyes. She was still rubbing against the two unconscious monks, clearly infatuated.

Qin Yi made a Method Formula, and the maid quickly fainted.

Seeing the four unconscious people on the ground, Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, then straightened their clothes, partially concealed them, and quietly escorted them outside. He then helped Jing Ze up and led them deeper into the peach grove.

Jing Ze, startled, clutched his collar and backed away. "What are you doing, guest...?"

Qin Yi revealed the figures of two women with an annoyance, leaning against the tree trunk next to Jing Ze.

Jing Ze's astonished expression returned to normal, and he looked up at him.

No wonder they kidnapped him into the peach grove; they didn't want to display such "magical arts" in front of crowds outside, and they also didn't want the plight of the two innocent women to be witnessed by others.

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

Jing Ze was startled. "No... she has a husband, you know, don't smear her reputation."

Qin Yi "tsk, tsk" twice and looked at him like a god. "So you secretly draw women in order to protect a few? Even if you are wrongly accused of being a wretched man, you will sometimes get beaten?"

Jing Ze remained silent.

Qin Yi sighed, "Why not expose the truth about this temple? Leaving aside those who willingly seduced her, how many paintings can you paint in a day? How many souls can you protect? If I hadn't intervened, that maid would be finished. Countless others have been bewitched and manipulated, and many probably committed suicide out of shame afterward. What's the use of your feeble efforts to paint a few pictures just to ease your own conscience?"

Jing Ze looked somewhat dejected. "How I wish I could expose them? But I lack the power."

Qin Yi finally said, "I have it."

"Don't go," Jing Ze said urgently. "This temple isn't that simple."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of Buddhist chanting came from behind him.

"Amitabha."

Qin Yi turned his head, and a group of monks surged up behind him, surrounding him completely.

"You have trespassed into our temple and injured our monks. What brings you here?" The leading old monk spoke while sizing up Qin Yi. His expression changed slightly after he finished speaking, and without waiting for Qin Yi's reply, he changed his demeanor, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "This Old Monk Jing Kong. May I ask your Dharma name, benefactor?"

Qin Yi, who was already prepared to fight, was taken aback by this rapid change of expression. "So polite?"

Jing Kong put his palms together and said, "You are a practitioner, and everyone has their own reasons for being a practitioner."

Qin Yi chuckled. It turned out that Qin Yi had realized that Qin Yi was at the Phoenix Initial Completion and found him rather troublesome. So, Qin Yi's aggressive demeanor suddenly turned into a reasoned argument. The change in style was so swift, without Qin Yi even finishing a sentence.

That said, I originally thought this temple was just a charlatan, but now that I see these monks protecting the temple, I realize they are quite accomplished. At least the leading Jing Kong, Master Jingkong, is at the eighth or ninth level of the Phoenix Realm, and in terms of cultivation alone, he is not much weaker than me.

"My name is Qin Yi." Qin Yi dusted off his clothes and smiled, "I just knocked out your monk, and you already found out. This surveillance is pretty impressive."

"The Buddhist Light shines everywhere, evil... Oh, there will naturally be a response after an incident, but it's just a trivial matter." The old monk said politely, "Benefactor, you are a refined and courteous person, and you should be a reasonable person. If our temple has offended you in any way, this This Old Monk apologizes on behalf of all the monks, and we hope that you will forgive us."

"Hmm. Of course I'm a reasonable person, and it's best if everyone talks about reason." Qin Yi smiled and said, "Your monks didn't offend me, but I don't like your behavior towards respectable women. What do you suggest we do about it?"

"Amitabha," said Jing Kong. "They simply desire a child, for not having one constitutes one of the seven grounds for divorce. If our temple grants them a child, and their families remain unaware, then everyone is happy. But once the truth is revealed, it will only break up their families. Don't you agree, benefactor?"

Qin Yi's smile remained unchanged, "What about the bewitching incense?"

"It's just that I'm worried the female benefactors won't let go of worldly views, so I'm giving them a push..."

Qin Yi was Celestial Person: "To be able to describe Migi-An in such an extraordinary way, I've never seen anything like it in my life."

"You flatter me, benefactor. Our temple is merely unable to bear the pain of childlessness in the world..." The old monk took out a small wooden fish and handed it over, smiling, "This wooden fish is blessed with Law Power. Striking it can calm the mind and aid in cultivation. I will give it to you as a token of goodwill."

Qin Yi took the small wooden fish, weighed it in his hand, and smiled, "May I ask which sect your temple belongs to?"

Jingkong looked pleased with himself. "Our temple is the outer gate of the Great Joy Temple. We have thoroughly studied the principles of Yin and Yang harmony, divine observation, and the union of emptiness and bliss. If you are interested, we may study this path together and ascend to the ultimate state of joy."

Qin Yi stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "After saying all that, you actually mean 'Yin-Yang Harvesting'?"

Jing Kong said solemnly, "No, this is a misunderstanding by people. The Dharma of our temple is to first lure people with desires, and then lead them into Buddhist wisdom. The momentary state of emptiness and desirelessness that ordinary people experience after the joy and bliss is the state of Buddhahood. If one can remain in this state for a long time, one becomes a Buddha."

"Are you pursuing Sage Time?"

"... Your understanding is exceptional, and you have a strong affinity with Buddhism."

After a long silence, Liusu's voice finally came. "Don't listen to their nonsense. These monks are full of Yin-Yang Harvesting energy from sexual cultivation. They've ruined the foundations of countless women. They say they can help you have children, but the more you have sex with them, the less likely you are to conceive."

Qin Yi smiled and thought to himself, "I know that all these sects are big charlatans; their essence is all about Yin-Yang Harvesting."

"Okay, as long as you know what I mean." Liusu fell silent again.

Jing Kong was still enticing them. "If you are truly interested, there is no need to shave your head. You can become a guest protector of our temple, just like the Abbot."

Qin Yi smiled and asked, "What are the benefits?"

"To be honest, my temple has many Celestial Maiden with spiritual cultivation, who serve the Buddha and reside permanently in the Buddha's realm. If you are interested, you may take them as you wish. This is a blissful place; why not take advantage of it?"

Qin Yi laughed heartily, "The more I listen, the more I enjoy it. Your temple is truly something else."

"That's right," Jing Kong said with a smile. "That's why many high-ranking officials of the imperial court have joined our temple. Our temple also has many Celestial Maiden, all of whom are selected from among thousands of nobles and are all exceptional beauties rarely seen in the mortal world..."

Jing Ze, who had been watching coldly from the side, sighed.

It seems that Qin Yi is also going to join forces with them.

It's no wonder that many righteous heroes once wanted to slay demons and monsters, but in the end they all became the same kind of villains. Some went directly to temples to become protectors, while others acted as protectors outside.

This includes the city lord.

Furthermore, the Great Joy Temple behind this temple... is a much deeper place; it's not as simple as just playing with some women.

He slowly turned and left, thinking to himself that the painting that the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect had asked him to paint was probably ready to be painted.

But after taking only a few steps, he heard Qin Yi say from behind, "I have one last question."

Jing Kong also felt that Qin Yi would definitely be tempted. What Blood Qi young man wouldn't dream of a scene where he could play around with incense all he wanted? Besides, it would also be beneficial to his cultivation.

Upon hearing Qin Yi's question, he replied casually, "Please speak, benefactor."

"I don't care how you cultivate yourselves, but please don't use bewitching incense on innocent women, okay?"

"This..." Jing Kong hesitated, "Lower-level monks always have some needs, and this is also a step in the initial stage of cultivation."

He paused, then said, "We are cultivators; mortals merely provide us with sustenance, so why should we hold grudges against them?"

"This is your cultivation, not mine, Qin Yi's." Qin Yi flicked his wrist, and the Wolf Tooth Club appeared in his hand without him even noticing. He swung it down at the head.

"Dong!" Jing Kong summoned a bronze bell, barely managing to block it, and retreated several steps in a disheveled state. He then saw that the bell was cracked.

Jing Kong was greatly surprised and furious. "Didn't you agree to reason with us?"

"Of course I'm reasonable." Qin Yi grinned. "I wonder if you've ever heard of a kind of reason called physics."
