Jiese's expression did not change at all.
However, he was laughing bitterly in his heart.
He knew the Way of Qi. Although Li Nianfan and the rest looked serious on the surface, he could feel that they were overjoyed.
Forget it, forget it. Fortunately, he did not care much about his image.
Jiese explained, "Buddhism has a way of chanting and meditating. When you enter meditation for the first time, you will sense the test on the path to Buddhahood. From there, you will decide on your Dharma name."
Zhou Yunwu nodded. He was solemn and serious. "Understood. Master Jiese is a man of striking appearance. Although he shaved his head, it accentuated his handsome features. It's understandable that he would encounter such a calamity."
"Amitabha. My handsome appearance can only bring me trouble."
Jiese closed his eyes and chanted the name of Buddha. With a solemn expression, he invited, "I'm here today to invite Prince Zhou to participate in the founding ceremony of Buddhism. The location is in the Wanshan Ridge in the west. It's now called Spirited Mountain."
He looked at Li Nianfan and said, "Young Master Li is a great benefactor of Buddhism. I hope you can attend the ceremony."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do. I can go and take a look."
Jiese was overjoyed and said, "Buddhism will welcome you with open arms."
Zhou Yunwu said, "Master Jiese, Buddhism is far away in the Western Paradise. Forgive me for not being able to go personally. However, I will send an envoy and send a congratulatory gift."
Jiese's expression did not change. He extended the invitation again, "This time, Buddhism will invite all the major Immortal Sects and many immortals from the Immortal World. Even people from the Underworld will be there. It's a rare event. It'll be a pity if Prince Zhou is not there. If you find it too far away, we are willing to send someone to fetch you."
Zhou Yunwu shook his head again, "There's no need. The Xia Dynasty is busy now. It'll be a pity if you miss it."
"What a pity." Jiese clasped his hands together, "If that's the case, I'll stay here for a few days. I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you. Prince Zhou, please reconsider."
Li Nianfan felt that this sentence was familiar.
It meant, "If you don't agree, I won't leave. I won't leave."
He didn't expect this Arhat to be so shameless.
Zhou Yunwu made an inviting gesture. "Master Jiese, please."
Jiese left.
A moment later, a subordinate came to report in a panic. He had a strange expression on his face. "Your Majesty, that master went to the Cuihong Brothel."
Cuihong House?
That was a brothel.
Li Nianfan remained calm and said, "Little Daji, you go back with Huo Feng first. I have something to discuss with Prince Zhou and Jun Liang."
Daji nodded obediently. "Yes, Young Master."
After Daji left, the three of them didn't need to say anything. They looked at each other and headed towards the Cuihong Brothel together.
Cuihong House.
The upstairs was filled with the sounds of orioles and swallows, and the whole floor was filled with red sleeves.
By the time Li Nianfan and the other two arrived, Jiese the Monk was already surrounded by many red sleeves.
"What a handsome monk! Master, what's the point of standing at the door? We sisters want to learn from you."
"Master, we sisters don't have good lives. We want to communicate with you. We won't charge you."
"Yes, we won't talk about flowers this time. We'll only talk about grass."
…
Jiese the Monk didn't move in the face of such harsh words. Even though he was surrounded, his expression didn't change. He continued to chant.
Jiese the Monk was indeed a handsome monk. Coupled with his shiny bald head, the ladies in the Cuihong Brothel were even more delighted.
However, Jiese was indeed Jiese. Even in the face of free prostitution, he wasn't tempted.
Under Zhou Yunwu's signal, a row of soldiers stepped out and suppressed the weak ladies.
Jiese the Monk was able to escape and returned to the crowd. His face was still stained with colorful rouge.
He looked serious. "Your Majesty, you don't have to do this next time."
"I'm helping you out."
"You don't understand. I'm training my heart in the mortal world. I don't need anyone to save me."
Jiese the Monk put his palms together and said seriously, "Since I'm Jiese, I'm destined to face a tribulation. I'm training my heart in advance. When the tribulation comes, I'll be able to face it calmly."
Seeing how serious he was, the crowd couldn't tell if he was telling the truth.
Jiese the Monk warned, "Don't do this next time."
Zhou Yunwu said, "Sorry to disturb you."
Li Nianfan looked at Jiese curiously. If this continued, wouldn't it hurt his body?
In the next few days, Jiese the Monk went to the Cuihong Brothel every day. He didn't go in and just stood outside. At this time, he would be surrounded by many ladies.
These ladies were also happy to tease this blockhead. They never got tired of it.
Every time this happened, Li Nianfan would watch from afar. It wasn't because he was envious. It was because he was surprised by Jiese the Monk's determination.
If he couldn't get it up, wouldn't that be Jiese?
No wonder he was the Bodhisattva. He was ruthless!
On the sixth day, Jiese the Monk didn't come again. Instead, he asked people to open the doors of the temple. He sat on a high platform and announced that he was going to give a lecture to spread the true meaning of Buddhism.
Moreover, after the lecture, he was willing to accept anyone's arguments and use Buddhism to convince them.
In an instant, the Xia Kingdom became lively again. Many people went to watch the ceremony. The entire temple was packed and the incense was many times more than usual.
In the meantime, driven by their competitiveness, the Immortal Cultivators, the ministers in the court, and the students of the school all came to ask for advice. But they were all rendered speechless by Jiese in the end.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Junliang, aren't you going to try?"
Meng Junliang said, "Teacher, people like us are very stubborn about our beliefs. We won't be easily swayed by words. We have a clear position in our hearts. Debates don't have much meaning."
"This monk is trying to snatch people from you. Aren't you going to do something about it?"
Meng Junliang said, "He's staying here and causing such a big commotion. He just wants Emperor Zhou to agree to go to Spiritual Mountain. If I show up, the commotion will only be bigger. It will fulfill his wish."
They stood on a high platform and were able to have a panoramic view of the debate. They watched it every day and never got tired of it.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
On this day, the debate hadn't started yet. Jiese the Monk was still preaching Buddhism on the high platform. However, a red light flashed through the void and landed in the temple. It was a girl in red.
She had bright eyes and white teeth. Her snow-white skin was wrapped in a layer of flame-like red clothes. She looked like a white flower wrapped in flames. On her wrist, there was a small golden bell. When she turned her wrist, the bell rang clearly.
The bell didn't ring loudly. However, the moment it rang, Jiese the Monk's lecture stopped abruptly.
The girl looked at the Bodhisattva on the high platform and smiled. "Jiese the Monk, I've found you!"
