Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 135: Buddhist Temple Gifting Offspring

Qin Yi almost choked to death at these words.

He wanted Jing Ze’s portrait because he could only feel some soul in the woman’s portrait, but this feeling was very void. He couldn’t tell whether this was “soul seducing” or “soul protecting”, or he was just putting his soul into painting. These were completely opposite concepts.

Liu Su didn’t speak. Qin Yi didn’t know what it was thinking, and he didn’t want to rely on Liu Su for everything. He planned to make his own judgment.

So he asked Jing Ze to draw him so that he could sense it clearly.

However, this man wasn’t even moved by three hundred taels of silver.

Qin Yi looked around and saw some peach blossom petals falling on Jing Ze, and he flicked his finger secretly.

The petals turned into a pink gauze and covered on Jing Ze’s body.

Jing Ze bounced up like getting shocked and shook off the gauze. He was angry and amused, “Sir has real cultivation, why are you still so childish?”

Qin Yi said with a smile, “Just acting like you do, how is this childish?”

“So you only know how to paint women?” Qin Yi asked with interest, “Or do you only want to paint women?”

Jing Ze said, “Painter paints the beauty of the world. Only beautiful things are worthy of pouring one’s soul into leaving a mark. What beauty is there to paint a man?”

“You deserve to have no improvement in painting. What a pervert!” Qin Yi said with disdain, “Isn’t the beauty of male masculinity beautiful?”

Jing Ze was silent.

Qin Yi continued, “A small bridge over flowing water is beautiful, but the vast river flowing east is not?”

Jing Ze sighed, “Wouldn’t it be nice for you to sleep with your masculine beauty in your arms?”

“Damn you…” Qin Yi took out the mace.

Jing Ze ducked for a moment.

Qin Yi said, “Would you like to taste the beauty of this masculinity?”

Jing Ze said helplessly, “Sir is an interesting person. The peach blossoms in this mountain temple are a grand scene. Why don’t you go and appreciate them? Why are you pestering a poor painter?”

When he said this, he looked at the temple gate, where many women were entering the temple to worship the Buddha.

Qin Yi followed his gaze, thoughtfully.

Mountain temple, peach blossoms.

Is he hinting at something?

“Okay.” Qin Yi patted him on the shoulder, “I’ll come to see you later when I go to appreciate it.”

Jing Ze watched Qin Yi enter the temple, then he slowly lowered his head to paint the woman.

An old man passed by and said in a low voice, “The Superior Emissary asked you to paint the man just now with Soul Shake Brush.”

Jing Ze’s brush paused, leaving a large stain on the painting. He said slowly without turning his head, “I have not joined the Myriad Shinra Sect. Who is my Superior Emissary?”

“Our sect has treated you with utmost benevolence, yet you are not even willing to do this little favor? This man is nobody to you!”

Jing Ze was silent for a long time and then whispered, “I want to see what he does before I can make a decision.”

“Pedantic!” The old man said angrily, “How could there be such a pedantic person like you in Myriad Tao Immortal Palace!”

“So… the Myriad Tao Immortal Palace didn’t accept me. I’m just a poor painter who hasn’t even reached the threshold of cultivating.”

Over there, Qin Yi entered the temple and saw a golden Buddha several feet tall. He was smiling and bulging his belly, and the surrounding men and women were kowtowing devoutly.

Qin Yi also prayed to the Buddha and tried to sense something, but found nothing unusual.

The Buddhist temple was very big, so the main hall should obviously be fine. Qin Yi was just strolling like an ordinary tourist, walking in behind people and bowing in joy.

After passing through the various halls inside, they were filled with incense and the crowds gradually dispersed.

Qin Yi noticed the woman Jing Ze drew in a glance. She was walking toward a side corridor with the maid. Qin Yi followed curiously. After walking for a while, he saw a side hall hidden among the peach blossoms.

Another woman happened to come out of the side hall and left in a hurry. When passing by Qin Yi, the fragrant breeze blew by, and she bowed his head shyly.

Qin Yi walked over slowly and looked up at the plaque on the side hall, “Offspring Hall.”

Qin Yi smacked his lips, already knowing what the trick was.

He was just a little curious about the specific situation, so he followed slowly in. To his surprise, there were no guards. Instead, there was a husband accompanying his wife, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and praying obediently.

There was a monk standing beside. When he saw them finishing their prayers, he said, “There is a female hall inside. Praying for the blessing of the Goddess Offspring, men are not allowed to enter.”

The couple obviously didn’t have any doubts, so the man said, “Little Hua, go and pray. I’ll wait outside.”

The woman followed the monk into the back door. Seeing the peach blossom trees and the pleasant scenery, the man couldn’t help but take out a jade flute and blow a passionate tune.

“…” Qin Yi was dumbfounded by the tune. After thinking about it, he hid in a corner where others could not see him and concealed himself.

His invisibility spell was no longer as obvious as the semi-blurred outline when he first learned it. If one looked carefully now, he could only see a little blurry shadow. As long as he avoided the public and didn’t make any big movement, it was not much different from being truly invisible.

Qin Yi sneaked into the back door, only to find that there was a corridor in the back door. There were several small halls in the corridor, which seemed to be for separate receptions.

He then followed the woman whose husband was waiting outside into the hall, and the door was quickly closed.

The layout of this small hall was very interesting. There was a very kind Guanyin statue on the front, but it was surrounded by pink curtains. There was a faint sense of intimacy. The sandalwood incense in the air obviously had a slight aphrodisiac effect.

Just when Qin Yi was about to secretly protect the woman from being affected by the incense, he saw the woman leaning on the monk on her own initiative, smiling charmingly, “Bad guy, I really miss you.”

Qin Yi’s eyes almost bulged out.

The monk also smiled and hugged the woman, “How can you bear a child if you don’t come here often?”

The woman smiled and said, “My damn husband is incompetent, but he watches me closely. He has to accompany me every time, so I have to wait until he is free.”

The monk smiled even more happily, “Isn’t that better? It adds more fun to us?”

Qin Yi silently opened the door and got out.

He thought the monk was deceiving the woman, but they had already committed adultery, so there was nothing to do here.

At this moment, a woman’s voice suddenly came from the small hall next door, “Sir, please behave yourself. I have a husband…”

Qin Yi’s heart moved. It was the voice of the woman that Jing Ze had painted before.

The voice of a monk chanting Buddha’s name came, “Madam, you are lost. If Madam has been childless for a long time, you will violate the seven rules of divorcing. You are nothing more than asking for a child. This is Buddha gifting a child.”

The woman seemed to be hesitant, but after a while, she said firmly, “What’s the use of deceiving myself? I live up to my husband. If you want to use force, I will…”

Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden groan as if she had been knocked unconscious.

The monk said sullenly, “Forget it, this one is protected by the portrait of Jing Ze and is not affected by the ecstasy of this place. Give her the forget powder to erase her memory and let her go back.”

Another man said, “What is Jing Ze doing? Why do the elders let him act so wantonly?”

The monk sighed, “Myriad Shinra Sect is protecting him. Forget it. In fact, whether the woman is influenced by the incense is one aspect. There are so many people who are deceived by us and really think Buddha is gifting offspring. There are only a few of them who preserve their chastity. It’s not like we definitely want her anyway, so it’s best not to cause unnecessary trouble.”

After a pause, he smiled and said, “Actually, those who are not affected once get hooked up, they will not be able to resist the lust. So many seniors said that Jing Ze is doing it in vain. They even gave him the nickname, Jing Youxi.”

The other man also laughed and said, “What about this maid? She has never been painted, and now she just clings to me. How about this, Senior. You take that woman and I take this maid. Anyway, their memory will be erased, so no one will know.”

“After the incident, the woman’s body reacted on its own. How can the memory be easily erased? If she raises suspicions, there will be endless troubles. Forget it.”

“Then let’s not touch this woman. How about we play with this maid? Anyway, she only knows that she took the initiative to ask for sex. She will be shameful to tell her Madam afterward.”

“Bang!” The door was suddenly kicked open. When they turned around, there was no one there.
