After many prominent figures from the Buddhist Order left, numerous figures appeared beside the ravaged street; they were all spies from various factions.
All the major powers in the Central Plains knew that the Buddhist Order might welcome back Damo's Four Great Divine Arts, so they all sent spies to wait. They had been observing from a distance during the battle just now.
At this moment, everyone staring at the terrifying battlefield was completely stunned, their mouths agape, filled with disbelief.
Although they had already overestimated Saitama 'Grandmaster strength, they ended up underestimating him.
Putting aside its terrifying and inhuman destructive power, the fact that it crushed eleven peerless experts at the Peak Innate the Buddhist Order innate realm is already incredibly frightening.
After regaining their senses, everyone quickly slipped away, preparing to report the matter to their respective factions as soon as possible and urge them to make plans accordingly.
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of Shaomu Temple, a large pot was set up. Next to it, a Buddhist Order master personally used a precept -Precept-Breaking Saber Technique to slice a leg of lamb into thin, translucent lamb rolls. Wang Hao, on the other hand, used chopsticks to scoop meat from the pot and ate with great relish.
It must be said that the chef at Shaomu Temple is highly skilled. Although it was his first time making hot pot with mutton, the broth he made was incredibly delicious and satisfying. Moreover, the mutton rolls, personally cut by a Buddhist Order master, tasted absolutely amazing.
And so, in the solemn and majestic Mahavira Hall, under the watchful gaze of the Tathagata statue, the group began to enjoy hot pot with mutton.
Of course, Wang Hao himself eats meat, while the Sweeping Monk and the others only cooked some vegetarian food.
Although they were monks, they still understood the proper etiquette and knew that the dinner table was the best place to build rapport, especially since the other person was such a foodie.
Sure enough, Wang Hao also acted very down-to-earth, chatting with the Sweeping Monk and others while eating, looking quite happy.
After eating and drinking his fill, Wang Hao lay on his side on the prayer mat, looked up at the Tathagata statue in the main hall, and asked in bewilderment, "What did your Shaomu Temple do to accumulate such a heavy Karmic Cause and Effect?"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, the Sweeping Monk and others, who were sipping tea to cleanse their palates, couldn't help but spit out their tea. Several prominent figures in the Buddhist Order nearly choked to death.
"I don't mean to discriminate against you. After all, our Yan Household carries a lot of Karmic Cause and Effect, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to pass down the family line to the present day through a single lineage since our ancestors."
Using a broken bamboo chopstick to pick his teeth, Wang Hao began his elaborate deception plan.
It took the Sweeping Monk and the others a while to catch their breath. They looked at each other, their expressions somewhat gloomy.
They know their own business best. Although they are much better than Confucian School, it's not like no one in their Buddhist Order has ever done anything outrageous. And since they have become a powerful force, they naturally need some businesses to support them.
As the saying goes, a large forest has all kinds of birds. With its own power growing so large, second only to Confucian School and Taoist School, it is inevitable that there will be some dark side to it.
However, I had previously taken a chance, thinking that my family's Karmic Cause and Effect was not heavy, and did not take any action to deal with it, but now it seems that this is not the case.
" Grandmaster, do you mean that Karmic Cause and Effect can also affect the reproduction of a clan?"
The Sweeping Monk asked curiously, as they didn't really know much about this. Although they had learned quite a bit from Ximen Chuixue and Chunyangzi last time, it wasn't in detail.
Now that they have this opportunity, they certainly won't miss it.
"The problem Cause and Effect karma isn't too big; as long as you're strong enough, you can withstand it. But Karma is more troublesome. Back then, our ancestor was rampaging through the Demon Sect when he was backfired by the Demon Sect Sect's Fortune Supreme Treasure, and he was tainted with a lot of Karma."
He departed by Shattering the Void, and his Karma naturally fell upon us, his descendants. That's why it's extremely difficult for members of the Yan Household to have offspring; even my father was over eighty years old when I was born."
Wang Hao, unusually serious, began to bluff.
The Buddhist Order owns a considerable amount of land throughout the world. If we truly want to spread Tenka Fubu and make everyone a dragon, we must liberate these lands and return them to the common people.
So even Buddhist Order have to be fooled here.
"You don't need to worry too much. The Human Dao Fortune of the Central Plains ancestral land was scattered in ancient times, so the effects of Fortune, Karmic Cause and Effect are no longer effective."
Seemingly noticing the worry on the faces of the Sweeping Monk and the others, Wang Hao offered a word of comfort. However, this only made the Sweeping Monk and the others more relaxed, and their expressions became even more gloomy.
They knew that in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult's plan, the Human Dao Fortune of the Central Plains ancestral land would soon be re-condensed by the Imperial Lord Zhu Yanzu. If what Saitama said was true, they would be in big trouble.
They neither wanted to nor were able to stop it.
According to the information revealed by those Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult and the supreme experts of the Shattering Realm in the overseas martial arts world are plotting to Whole-World Ascension. Once they begin, it will inevitably cause unimaginable calamity.
In such a disaster, only overwhelming strength can guarantee everything.
While the nature of Karma and cause and Cause and Effect is quite unpredictable, the effect of Fortune is also extremely powerful. They have long been envious of it, and it is even possible that it will lead to the birth of powerful experts in the Central Plains Buddhist Order, such as those at the Celestial Person Realm or even the Shattering Realm.
Therefore, the Human Dao Fortune must be revived, which is an inevitable trend that even the powerful Buddhist Order sect cannot stop.
It seems that the Buddhist Order should also take action to deal with this matter, otherwise it will surely become a great disaster in the future.
The Sweeping Monk and the others exchanged glances, having made up their minds.
Suddenly, an old monk seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Wang Hao with burning eyes.
"Our Buddhist Order in the Central Plains is willing to reform in order to eliminate some Karmic Cause and Effect. I wonder if Grandmaster Saitama has any good ideas?"
The others also realized what was happening and turned their attention to it.
Yes, this person is a rising star in the overseas martial arts world. Based on his experience, he might be able to offer them some advice!
"I don't know much about Buddhist Order in the Central Plains. Please tell me about your situation first."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Hao pretended to be hesitant, but after glancing at the large pot of hot pot, he finally agreed.
Seeing this, the Sweeping Monk and the others knew perfectly well that the person in front of them had only spoken up because they had eaten a meal together, and they were all speechless about it.
That person's attitude is absolutely lacking in any sense of professionalism!
However, it also made them feel that this person was more genuine.
Without delay, the Sweeping Monk and his companions quickly recounted the entire situation of Buddhist Order in the Central Plains, with the current Fangzhang of Shaomu Temple, Fang Fangzheng, providing supplementary information.
After all, these Buddhist Order luminaries have been living in seclusion for many years, and they are not very clear about many current events.
"Where are the Mohist School? Where are the Mohists from the Central Plains Mohist School?"
After pretending to ponder for a moment, Wang Hao suddenly asked a question.
" The Mohist School ceased to exist in its ancestral homeland of the Central Plains a thousand years ago, and there are no Mohist School disciples left in the Central Plains today."
Although he didn't know why Wang Hao asked that question, the Sweeping Monk still answered accordingly.
"Are you all out of your minds? The Mohist School are the most profitable and able to support people the most. Our Yan Household made a fortune by marrying a descendant of the Mohist School, which led to an invention patent. We've never had to worry about money for hundreds of years."
How could you Central Plains people allow the Mohist School tradition to be cut off?
Wang Hao looked at the Sweeping Monk and the others with the astonishment of someone looking at an idiot.
Before anyone could speak, Wang Hao continued his charade, "Your thinking is very problematic. You're all focusing most of your attention on farmland, but how much money can you make growing grain? Science and technology, and industrial manufacturing, are the real money-makers..."
Wang Hao, spitting as he spoke, popularized groundbreaking ideas such as the concept of scientific and technological development to a group of old monks. Although these ideas and doctrines had long been spread in modern times and even included in textbooks, they were appearing for the first time in this ancient era.
"You all know about textiles, right? A genius from the Mohist School named Jenny invented a machine that allows one person to produce ten or even a hundred times more cloth. Do you think that's profitable?"
And those aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and so on were all invented using the science and technology of the Mohist School. Do you know how much a low-level fighter jet can sell for in my overseas martial arts world?
Converted to gold in your Central Plains, that's 100,000 taels, while the cost is only 10,000 taels. That's a tenfold profit, far better than you making a living by digging in the fields.
This isn't even the most profitable; the profit margins for some products are even more staggering...
Wang Hao's charade grew increasingly enthusiastic, and the Sweeping Monk and the others listened with shining eyes, equally excited and thrilled.
They hadn't expected the Mohist School to be able to make so much money. If this were to be implemented, it would be many times better than their meager land holdings. This was truly a new path for their Buddhist Order!
Wang Hao glanced at the excited expressions of the Sweeping Monk and the others, and knew that he had completely fooled them this time.
Of course, he wasn't lying. The Mohist School school of thought can indeed be considered a precursor to science. Anyone in the new era knows that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the primary productive forces are also the most profitable industries, as well as the foundation of all development.
This whole charade was a win-win situation for both the host and the guest; Wang Hao achieved his predetermined goal, and Buddhist Order found a new way out.
"I wonder if Grandmaster Saitama could introduce some of the Mohist School techniques to our Central Plains Buddhist Order to alleviate our urgent crisis?"
Fangzheng suddenly spoke up, which startled the excited Sweeping Monk and the others, and their expressions immediately turned serious again.
Although the Mohist School techniques were indeed very profitable, the problem was that the Mohist School doctrine had long been lost in the Central Plains. Although there were some scattered remnants, it would be quite difficult to develop it again based on that, and it would take a considerable amount of time.
However, the problem is that, according to Chunyangzi, in another ten years or so, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult will launch its plan to Whole-World Ascension, and disaster will follow. They simply do not have time to develop slowly!
Fangzheng was the first to see this, which is why he made this request.
It's true that they can't start from scratch, but they can find a way to acquire mature technology!
The Saitama Grandmaster in front of us is from overseas, and it seems that his ancestor married a woman from the Mohist School, suggesting that there is a lineage in this area.
"I do know some advanced technologies, but it seems your Central Plains region lacks the foundation in these areas. Even if I gave them to you, you wouldn't be able to implement them. I don't remember many low-end technologies, and I don't know if they would be suitable for you."
Scratching his shiny bald head, Wang Hao looked troubled.
These words left the Sweeping Monk and his companions feeling rather bitter. When had their vast and resource-rich Central Plains become a synonym for backwardness?
Although they are monks, they are still Huaxia, and naturally they would feel resentful about this.
" Grandmaster, please speak freely, and this humble monk will do everything in his power to make it happen."
Fangzheng Zheng said with a resolute expression, "This is the only way out for Shaomu Temple and the vast Buddhist Order. We must overcome any difficulties, no matter how great they may be."
