How could they believe that a monk who drank wine and ate meat and obviously broke his precepts was really a monk from Shaolin Temple?
No, if it was just the monks of Shaolin Temple, they would not be so shocked.
The most shocking thing was that this fake monk who drank wine and ate meat was actually the holy monk of Shaolin Temple!
The divine monk Du Ku stepped forward and put his palms together, bowing piously.""Amitabha, Du Ku greets the holy monk!”
The eldest senior brother of Mingjian Peak was stunned.
The Eight Trigrams School's vice sect master's mind was reeling.
Lan Yingying, the Five Poison Sect's guardian, sat back down on the bench.
Even the highly respected Divine Monk Du Ku bowed with his hands folded in front of his chest and worshiped piously. How could the name of a Saint Monk be fake?
In Jianghu, the only person who could make the blind old monk bow was probably the founder of Wudang, Immortal Zhang, who was regarded as a living immortal…
The young and handsome white-robed monk in front of them had the same status as Perfected Zhang, who was over a hundred years old. Everyone in the restaurant was momentarily stunned.
Divine Monk Du Ku didn't care about what others thought. He bowed and asked,""Holy Monk, aren't you in the Great Zhou Imperial City? Why are you here in Qing You City?”
Ning Chen finished his wine and meat. He put down the wine jar and chopsticks and said to the Divine Monk Du Ku,""After settling the Buddha Annihilation Token, I came over to take a look.”
"I didn't expect to meet the various large sects and hold a martial arts tournament!”
The Divine Monk Du Ku, who had an old face and had always been bitter and resentful, actually revealed an ecstatic expression.
"Holy Monk, can you stay and participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention?" the old monk asked hopefully.”
Since he had such a powerful backing, he naturally had to let all the sects in the world know. Otherwise, what was the point?
He wanted to let everyone in Jianghu know that the declining Shaolin Temple had risen again.
There was a holy monk comparable to Perfected Zhang overseeing Shaolin Temple!
How could Ning Chen not know what the Divine Monk Du Ku was thinking?
He pondered for a moment, thinking of the old friendship he had with the Shaolin Temple for sixty years, so he nodded. This Penniless Monk will stay."
" It just so happens that Mount Jiuyi is vast and boundless. The mountain range stretches on and on, and it's already close to the 100,000 mountains of the southern mountain range. With the help of the various large sects, it's easy to find the exact location of the underground palace of the Demon Cult's headquarters.”
The Divine Monk Du Ku was overjoyed when he heard Ning Chen agree.
He had never been so happy when he broke through to Rank-3.
Yi Shuihan, the eldest senior brother of Mingjian Peak, coughed and asked in confusion,""May I ask the divine monk why he is a holy monk?”
The Divine Monk Du Ku rolled his eyes and regained his bitter and resentful expression. He replied,""A holy monk is a holy monk.”
Yi Shuihan was stunned for a moment and said,""But…the holy monk killed, drank wine, and ate meat.”
"And didn't you just denounce this kind of behavior? How can a monk who doesn't abide by the precepts become a holy monk of Shaolin Temple?”
"That's right! That's right!"
"Drinking wine and eating meat, can you be called a monk?”
The Eight Trigrams School's Zhou Buyi and the other martial arts experts echoed.
"Amitabha. Patrons, please listen to me!”
The divine monk Du Ku raised his palm with one hand and chanted the name of Buddha, which implied the roar of a lion.
The noisy restaurant suddenly quieted down.
The Divine Monk Du Ku replied," Buddhist scriptures are for those who have low wisdom roots and need guidance. The precepts are for those who have poor self-control and need to be restrained.”
"There is no need to abide by the precepts in the Saint Monk Realm.”
The experts were dumbfounded.
How could it be like this?
The Divine Monk Du Ku continued," The Holy Monk once said that after wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha's heart will sit. With such a state, he can naturally drink wine and eat meat.”
Yi Shuihan asked unwillingly," If that's the case, then every monk should just drink and eat meat. Why should they abide by the rules?"”
The Divine Monk Du Ku shook his head and sighed." Almsgiver Yi, you might not know this, but there was another half of the Holy Monk's words just now. If the world learns from me, it will be like falling into the devil's path!"”
"If we rashly learn from the holy monk, not only will it be difficult for us to advance in the realm of Buddhism, but we might even risk falling into the demonic path.”
"Divine Monk, is your realm not high enough?”
Yi Shuihan, Zhou Buyi, Lan Yingying, and the others stared at the Divine Monk Du Ku.
As one of the three divine monks, he had great prestige and was a grandmaster in the martial world.
They didn't believe that the Divine Monk Du Ku would betray his identity.
Unexpectedly, the Divine Monk Du Ku looked up at the sky and sighed,""This old monk is far inferior to the holy monk."
"Boom!"
Everyone sat back down on the bench, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
The fake monk in everyone's eyes had suddenly risen to the status of a holy monk.
Yi Shuihan looked at Ning Chen from the corner of his eyes and thought,""Who is he? Why has there never been any news about him in the martial arts world?”
"Could it be that he's really a reclusive expert from the Shaolin Temple? Now that the Shaolin Temple is in danger, he's coming out?”
The divine monk Du Nan chatted with Ning Chen for a while, then went to the counter to book a few rooms from the shopkeeper.
After knowing the price of the room, the divine monk Du Nan was short of money and decided to squeeze eight monks into one room.
The Shaolin Temple was not poor. After all, the incense offerings were flourishing, and the donations from the good men and women were not small.
However, after two robberies, repairing the Mahavira Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the mountain gate, the mountain path, and the steps, as well as reforging the Buddha statue, it was a huge expenditure.
If he did not have the Buddha Annihilation Order, he would not be in a tight spot if he sought out wealthy merchants to raise funds.
However, after Emperor Wen issued the Order of Buddha Annihilation, who would dare to have a relationship with Shaolin Temple?
He was probably tired of living!
As a result, Shaolin Temple was now extremely poor.
"Shopkeeper, are there enough rooms?" Ning Chen asked.
"Enough, enough!"
"The other restaurants might be full, but we definitely have enough rooms!”
Ning Chen nodded and pretended to take the money bag from his sleeve. In fact, he was taking the money from the system space.
After signing for sixty years, he asked Ning Chen what he had accumulated the most.
It wasn't martial arts manuals, pills, treasures, or divine weapons. It was…money!
Sixty years.
365 days in a year, that was 21,900 check-ins!
Even if the system rewarded him with one tael of silver, Ning Chen would have at least twenty thousand taels of silver.
In fact, the system would not be so stingy.
This made Ning Chen's little treasury rich enough to rival a country!
Ning Chen took out a silver ingot and threw it to the shopkeeper. He said,"Give them a few more rooms. How can eight people squeeze into one room?”
"With the remaining money, ask the chef to prepare some vegetarian meals. Oh right, they are different from This Penniless Monk in that they don't eat alcohol.”
"Thank you, Holy Monk!"
The Divine Monk Du Ku, the two heads of department, and the eighteen martial monks bowed to Ning Chen again.
Jiuyi Mountain, underground palace.
At the Demon Cult's headquarters.
A Demonic Sect disciple in a black cloak knelt under a dragon throne carved from thousand-year-old Iceheart Jade and reported the situation in Qing You City to Demonic Emperor Wu Tianchou.
Demonic Emperor Wu Tianchou sat on his dragon throne, one hand supporting his head as he pondered.
Demonic Emperor Wu Tianchou sneered coldly,"A bunch of motley crew, let them come!”
"I can take this opportunity to suck the true qi and blood of all the experts in the world and step into the realm of land immortals in one fell swoop!”
"Hahahaha…"
