The disciple guarding the door couldn't chase him away, nor could he let Bajie in. He could only report that a monk was here to collect a debt from Householder Niu.
After a while, Manager De Zheng came out to verify the authenticity of Ba Jie's words. Looking at Ba Jie's sanctimonious appearance, it did not seem like he was lying. However, he still did not allow Ba Jie to enter. Naturally, he would not answer Ba Jie's questions. He continued to use Layman Niu's absence as an excuse to send Ba Jie away. There was no way he would allow anyone to enter just like that.
Ba Jie wanted to burn down this run-down shop. Naturally, he didn't show it on the surface. However, when he heard the people on the street discussing what just happened, he found out that the people who captured Miao Yi were from the Western District Governor's Manor. He immediately asked for the direction of the Western District Governor's Manor and quickly headed there.
After being escorted to the Western District Governor's Manor, Miao Yi immediately went to court. He had long since gotten used to the unreasonable behavior of that person inside.
In the court, Xiahou Longcheng leaned back in his chair with his feet propped on the long table. He looked coldly at Miao Yi, who had just walked in. He gently waved his hand, and all his subordinates left.
"Niu Youde, is there any news about me marrying Huangfu?" Xiahou Longcheng asked as he lay there, swinging his legs.
Marry my ass! They all went to sleep with me! Miao Yi muttered in his heart. He knew that this bastard had brought him here because of this matter. With a troubled expression, he said, "Not yet."
Xiahou Longcheng suddenly flashed over and pointed at Miao Yi's nose, saying angrily, "And you still have the mood to run around? I can't even find you. You've got guts. How dare you not take my matters seriously! "
Miao Yi sighed, "I have no choice! It's not like you don't know that the Sundry Goods Store is expanding. I'm busy running around! "
Xiahou Longcheng asked angrily, "Is the expansion of the grocery store more important than me getting a wife?"
Your wife has nothing to do with me! Miao Yi felt helpless. "Commander Xia Hou, you have power and influence. Are you still afraid of not having a woman? What kind of beauty can't you find? Why do you have to bite a hard bone like Shopkeeper Huangfu? "
Xiahou Longcheng said, "Is there anyone more beautiful than Huangfu in the world?"
Fine! It was like playing the lute to a cow. In this bastard's eyes, there was only Huangfu Jun. Y is the prettiest! Miao Yi smiled bitterly. "It's not that I don't want to help you, but Huangfu Jun? Y has conditions, and I'm afraid you won't agree. "
Xiahou Longcheng said casually, "What conditions? Just mention it! "
Miao Yi replied, "Marry into her family! Shopkeeper Huangfu said that the women of the Huangfu Clan don't marry, it's the men who marry into the Huangfu Clan. "
Xiahou Longcheng scoffed. "What kind of condition is it? I already know about the HuangFu Clan's lousy rules. Isn't it just marrying into the clan? It's nothing much."
Miao Yi's eyes widened. He said in disbelief, "Commander Xiahou is willing to marry into our family?" He felt that it was impossible. This guy had an extraordinary background, and the more extraordinary a person's background was, the less likely they would marry into his family.
"I'm a man. I can't afford to marry into her family!" Xiahou Longcheng said disdainfully, "As long as she's willing to be with me, marrying into her family is nothing. I will ask the Celestial Thearch to bestow the marriage, and I don't think the Huangfu Clan will dare to say anything. The key is for her to agree to marry me, understand? "
Miao Yi was shocked. This bastard actually had a way to get Master Qing to bestow a marriage upon him. What kind of connections did he have? He couldn't help but ask, "Commander Xiahou, can you contact the Celestial Thearch?"
At the mention of this, Xiahou Longcheng wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words. It was obvious that he wanted to avoid mentioning it. He waved his hand and said, "That's not something you should ask. Just hurry up and do your job. If Kou Wenlan gets the upper hand, I will kill you."
Miao Yi probed, "Is Commander Kou willing to marry into our family?"
"Bullsh * t! That pretty boy can also ask the Celestial Thearch to bestow a marriage upon him. Otherwise, what right does he have to steal my woman? "Xiahou Longcheng looked unhappy.
Miao Yi was speechless. He was secretly shocked. What kind of weirdos were this guy and Kou Wenlan? They could actually get their connections to the Celestial Thearch.
This made him even more afraid. If he killed this guy, he didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause. It would probably be more serious than robbing the Spirit Island. But what he found strange was that with such connections and connections, would he still lack money? Would he still need to go around to earn money?
As he was speaking, someone suddenly came in to report, "Sir. A monk from the Pure Land of Bliss is here. "
"What is someone from the Pure Land of Bliss doing here?" Xiahou Longcheng was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure it's someone from the Pure Land of Bliss?"
Even Miao Yi was curious. The Celestial Court and the Pure Land of Bliss were the highest existences in the Nine Realms. He had never seen anyone from these two places. He didn't know if Xiahou Longcheng was from the Celestial Court.
The person said, "It looks like it. It shouldn't be fake. "
Xiahou Longcheng asked again, "Looking for me?"
"Not for you, but for him." The person pointed at Miao Yi and said, "He said that this person owes him money and he is here to collect the debt."
"Looking for me?" Miao Yi pointed at his nose and laughed. "Are you kidding me? How can I owe money to the Pure Land of Bliss?"
Xiahou Longcheng was amused. He waved his hand with interest and said, "Please come in. Won't it be clear if we confront each other face to face?"
"Yes!" The person immediately retreated.
Xiahou Longcheng returned to his seat behind the long table to watch the show. Miao Yi also walked over to a nearby chair and sat down. He had a puzzled look on his face. 'Who is it?'
Not long after, a holy monk dressed in white monk robes was led in. He was extraordinarily handsome and gave off an otherworldly aura. Indeed, he didn't have the temperament of an ordinary monk. Xiahou Longcheng was stunned by his elegance. He truly didn't look like a monk from an ordinary place.
Miao Yi, on the other hand, was a little dumbfounded. The monk was none other than Ba Jie. Miao Yi was speechless. He silently cursed this guy for daring to impersonate someone from the Pure Land of Bliss.
Ba Jie swept his gaze across. Seeing that Miao Yi was sitting peacefully and didn't look like he was in trouble, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Seeing that Miao Yi really did look like someone from the Pure Land of Bliss, Xiahou Longcheng couldn't afford to be careless. He walked over to the long table and cupped his fists. "Commander Xiahou Longcheng of Heaven's Avenue West District of the Heaven's Origin Planet pays his respects. May I know which sacred ground of the Pure Land of Bliss you hail from?"
"Amitabha!" Ba Jie clasped his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. With a faint and holy smile, he said, "I am neither a demon nor a calamity. I am neither abiding nor empty, and I am pure and unstained."
Xiahou Longcheng's jaw dropped. He was a little confused, not understanding what Ba Jie was saying. 'Where am I from?'
He tilted his head to look at Miao Yi, unsure if Miao Yi understood. Since Ba Jie was acquainted with Miao Yi, he must know where he was from.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi was also looking at him. He didn't understand what Ba Jie was saying either, so he wanted to see if Ba Jie understood. Miao Yi thought that since Ba Jie dared to impersonate someone from the Pure Land of Bliss, he must have heard the name of the place from somewhere. Perhaps Xiahou Longcheng knew where it was.
The two of them stared at each other.
Actually, what Ba Jie meant was that they shouldn't be too fixated on where he came from. However, Buddhists loved this sort of thing. They were able to make everything sound plausible and mysterious. They called it Buddhist philosophy, forcing everyone to try their best to understand it. In reality, in the end, they would still have to eat, drink, and poop. Ba Jie was used to fooling people, so he was naturally very good at it.
However, Xiahou Longcheng didn't want to embarrass himself, so he pretended to understand what Ba Jie was saying. He nodded and said, "What a great place. May I know your Dharma name?"
Miao Yi could vaguely tell that Ba Jie didn't seem to understand. He wondered, 'Do you really understand or are you just pretending?'
Ba Jie calmly replied, "First, I abstain from killing. Second, I abstain from stealing. Third, I abstain from prostitution. Fourth, I abstain from speaking lies. Fifth, I abstain from drinking. Sixth, I abstain from indulging in perfume. Seventh, I abstain from sitting on tall and wide beds. Eighth, I abstain from eating out of season. My Dharma name is Ba Jie!"
Xiahou Longcheng was taken aback by Ba Jie's explanation. After listening for a long time, he finally realized that Ba Jie had introduced a bunch of Dharma names. In the end, it all boiled down to the last two words. 'Do you really have to go through so much trouble?' He couldn't help but grumble to himself. 'It's so tiring talking to this monk …' He laughed dryly and said, "So it's Grandmaster Ba Jie …" He hurriedly changed the topic. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to wrap his head around it, he pointed at Miao Yi and said, "I heard that Grandmaster is here to collect a debt from Niu Youde?"
"That's right!" Ba Jie nodded slightly, then turned to Miao Yi and said, "Master, it's been a long time. I'm here to collect my incense money."
'Incense money? Incense my ass! ' Miao Yi stood up and furrowed his brows. "I was wondering who it was. So it's Grandmaster Ba Jie. Why did you come here to collect incense money? Why don't you take a look at where you are?" Miao Yi was feeling a little angry, and his words carried a hint of anger. He had already told Ba Jie that it wouldn't be good for him to have anything to do with this place.
Ba Jie smiled and said, "My heart is empty, and my eyes are empty. Where can't I go?"
Xiahou Longcheng curiously interrupted, "Grandmaster Ba Jie, why would he owe you incense money? How much does he owe you?"
Ba Jie turned to Xiahou Longcheng and smiled. "Money is karma. It's only for the sake of sowing karma. It doesn't matter how much it is. I can see that Commander Xiahou is quite intelligent, so I'm willing to study the profound truths of Buddhism with you. What do you think, Commander? "
'What kind of intelligence do I have?!' Xiahou Longcheng immediately felt his head swell. He laughed dryly and said, "My aptitude is lacking. I'm not qualified to discuss the Dao with Grandmaster! Also, I still have official business to attend to, so I won't disturb Grandmaster from collecting incense money. "He cupped his fists and bid his guest farewell.
Ba Jie immediately looked at Miao Yi with a regretful expression. Meanwhile, Xiahou Longcheng kept shooting Miao Yi a look, telling him to hurry up and bring this' Lu Xiong Lu 'away? 'Lu Xiong Lu? Wren Ride??? Zhilan Yinna is scared? Bewildered and bewildered
Miao Yi didn't want to see Ba Jie messing around here either, so he quickly took his leave.
As soon as he walked out of the public hall, the Starbell in his storage bangle rang. It was a message from Zhongli Kuai, asking where he was and saying that he wanted to look for him. Naturally, Miao Yi returned to his usual spot.
"Whose news?" Ba Jie asked curiously.
Miao Yi didn't answer. He left the Governor's manor and walked along the streets. Then, he sent a voice transmission to Ba Jie angrily, "You sure have guts. How dare you impersonate someone from the Western Paradise Realm. Do you know what kind of background this Xiahou Longcheng has? This guy might be from the Heavenly Court. Since he has a connection with Lord Qing, he might have dealings with the Elysium. Once your trick is exposed, I want to see how you deal with it! "
Ba Jie was astonished. "That bear-like fellow actually has such a powerful background? If there's a chance, I'd like to get to know him. "
Miao Yi said angrily, "Acquaintance my ass! This guy is greedy and unreasonable. You should avoid provoking him and bring trouble to yourself. Now that I've offended him, I can't get rid of him even if I want to. Let me ask you, did you ignore my words? I told you not to contact me in public. Why did you come all the way here? "
Ba Jie immediately complained, "You think I want to?! Sister-in-law was so worried when we saw you being taken away by the celestial troops at the tavern. I had no choice but to come here to find out what happened. Sister-in-law is still waiting for my reply. "
