Jietan, Jiese

Longshu Temple wasn't large.

Nor were there many monks.

The monk leading the way was called Jietan.

According to his introduction, the entire temple consisted of only twenty or so people, all living in the side courtyard, two people per room.

Jietan's roommate was a young novice monk.

His Dharma name was Jiese.

However, Shen Yi felt that Jietan's temperament and personality were completely unrelated to his Dharma name.

He wondered if this Jiese was truly detached from worldly desires.

Soon, Shen Yi met the man himself.

Jietan led Shen Yi to the monks' quarters.

The lights were still on inside.

There was a young monk inside, reading late at night.

"Junior Brother, this benefactor has come to the temple seeking lodging. I'm on night duty tonight, so he can sleep in my bed,"

Jietan introduced.

The young monk had a proper appearance, but his expression was lively. When he saw Shen Yi arrive, he happily said:

"Amitabha."

"Please, benefactor."

Jietan nodded slightly towards Shen Yi:

"Benefactor, please rest here first."

"I'll go back to my night watch."

Shen Yi nodded, saw Jietan off, and glanced back to see Jiese still reading, so he couldn't help but smile:

"Little Master is truly diligent."

"Studying late into the night like this, you must be a scholar of Buddhism."

Jiese immediately coughed lightly a couple of times.

He leisurely put away his book.

"Benefactor, it's getting late, we should rest."

The sharp-eyed Shen Yi saw a booklet tucked behind the cover of the scripture. Heh, there really was something fishy going on.

Shen Yi responded.

He took off his outer robe and hung it by the door.

Then he lay down on Jietan's bed, fully clothed, and went to sleep.

Before long, even breathing could be heard.

Seeing Shen Yi fall asleep so quickly, Jiese was also slightly relieved and hid his book under his pillow.

He climbed into bed and lay down.

It wasn't until the middle of the night.

A rustling sound entered Shen Yi's ears, and he immediately became alert, slightly opening his eyes.

Using the moonlight from the window.

Shen Yi saw Jiese stealthily put on his monk's robe, tiptoe to the door, and like a thief, carefully creep out.

Then, he closed the door again.

This is going to be fun.

Shen Yi's heart stirred, and he flipped over and jumped out of bed without making a sound.

He didn't rush to chase after him.

Instead, he first flipped open Jiese's pillow and took out the booklet he had hidden in the scripture to examine it.

Wow.

The booklet contained lifelike, naked men and women, striking various poses that made one's blood boil.

Spring palace pictures!

Shen Yi clicked his tongue twice.

Jiese, Jiese, lusting after beauty.

In Shen Yi's opinion, it was truly amusing. He put the erotic pictures back where Jiese had them, and then silently slipped out of the monks' quarters.

In just a short while.

Jiese hadn't gone far, and his figure could be vaguely seen.

The direction was towards the main hall.

Shen Yi followed far behind.

Jiese hadn't practiced martial arts, so there was no way he could have detected Shen Yi.

Shen Yi noticed that Jiese didn't enter the main hall.

Instead, he went in a large circle, going around to the back of the main hall, then crouched down and slipped into the low bushes on one side.

Shen Yi watched him lying on the ground, shaking his head.

He seemed very excited.

Curious, Shen Yi used Grass Treading Flight's lightness skill, lightly leaping and bounding, onto the main hall's roof beam.

Like a civet cat.

Silently, he arrived at the ridge above Jiese.

Shen Yi lay on the roof tiles, like a silent ghost, looking down.

The situation was truly bizarre.

A monk was crouching by the base of the wall, and above the monk's head, a human-shaped shadow was watching him.

From Shen Yi's angle.

He couldn't really see what Jiese was looking at, but he vaguely saw a brick at the base of the wall pried up.

A faint light shone out.

The rest.

Was completely blocked by Jiese's shiny bald head.

Shen Yi focused his power on his ears.

In the silent night, all subtle sounds were captured by him.

Suddenly, Shen Yi heard a faint lewd laugh, and an extremely subtle female voice.

Shen Yi, who had lived two lives, was naturally familiar with this kind of sound.

He had even been dragged to brothels by Niu Ben to watch, so he was very familiar with all kinds of joyful female voices.

It was just that this kind of sound coming from a solemn ancient temple was really unbelievable.

No wonder Jiese got up in the middle of the night.

And squatted here, watching with relish.

After all, the portraits on the pages were dead, how could they be as enjoyable and arousing as watching a live erotic performance.

But Shen Yi didn't think about watching it for fun.

If something was abnormal, there must be a demon.

There must be some unknown filth behind the ancient temple's lewdness.

Shen Yi gently jumped down from the roof beam, making only an extremely slight sound.

But it still startled the focused Jiese.

He looked up and only saw a dark shadow covering his vision, followed by a muffled thud.

Shen Yi stepped on Jiese's face.

The powerful force caused his brain to violently shake inside his skull.

Jiese immediately rolled his eyes.

And passed out.

"Jiese, oh, Jiese."

"Today, I will help you forcibly abstain from lust."

Shen Yi grabbed Jiese's collar and threw him aside.

He stood in Jiese's original position.

Originally, a loose brick in the corner of the wall had been pried up by Jiese and placed aside, and a dim yellow light shone out from the hole in the wall.

Shen Yi lay on the ground in the same position.

And looked inside.

Inside was a basement.

In the middle was a huge bed.

Covered with thick, soft bedding, and a unconscious woman lying on it.

The woman seemed delirious, but the voice Shen Yi had just heard was from her.

There were also three figures in the room, all bald and naked.

Shen Yi thought to himself:

"Heh, they're really playing it up."

This basement was about two stories high.

Shen Yi's vantage point was just diagonally above the crowd.

Three figures had their backs to him, but he had a clear view of the woman's figure.

On the ground nearby, lay scattered yellow monk robes and deep red kasayas.

It seemed that Longshu Temple also had a strict hierarchy.

A small novice like Jiese could only squat in the corner and feast his eyes.

Accompanied by a chanted "Amitabha," a monk breathed heavily:

"I need to rest for a bit."

"Those two pilgrims below who are seeking children,"

"you can teach them the Dharma."

The other two immediately nodded with smiles:

"Don't worry, Senior Brother."

It was then that Shen Yi, who was lying prone at the entrance of the cave, realized that the story of Longshu Temple pilgrims seeking children and monks acting as Buddhas to display true power was familiar.

However, in the stories Shen Yi had heard, the pilgrims and monks were tacitly aware of what was happening.

But now, the female pilgrim was lost in a daze, only knowing to writhe on the bed, whimpering and acting coy.

She probably wouldn't even know what happened tonight when she woke up tomorrow. She would think it was a real Bodhisattva manifesting or an Arhat entering her dream.

If it were consensual, Shen Yi would be happy to watch a live broadcast.

But if it were a forced transaction involving fraud, Shen Yi might have to intervene.

At this moment, the small door on the side of the secret room opened.

Two monks in robes carried in another unconscious woman and gently laid her flat on the bed.

Then, they dressed the original female pilgrim on the bed in her clothes and carried her out.

The whole process was smooth and fluid, without even needing any instructions, as if the two had done it hundreds of times.
