Chapter 1401: Small person first, gentleman later

Monk Jueneng was silent for a long time.

He absolutely would not admit what kind of waves Chen Guanlou's words set off in his heart.

After a long time, he let out a breath and asked: "Why would Benefactor Chen tell this poor monk these things? That this world cannot cultivate immortality is a consensus; you don't need to remind me."

"Although it is a consensus, everyone still holds hope in their hearts. Excavating ancient tombs from the early Great Yu Dynasty is evidence. Monk, don't tell me you have never thought that one day, you could step into the cultivation world and fulfill your wish."

Chen Guanlou was like a devil bewitching people, smiling exceptionally like a villain. To put it another way, he wanted to drag a good family into the sea; the inferiority of men was reflected at this moment.

If one day Jueneng broke the precepts and entered the red dust, just thinking about it would make people excited.

Although some would say it was blasphemy, some would say it was degeneration, this itself is a refraction of desire.

Everyone has curiosity in their hearts; for the great, the bright, and the upright, everyone has no intention of exploring. Only for blasphemy, for degeneration, are they full of curiosity, all wanting to take a peek, and making up countless versions.

Gao Yang and that monk are still talked about with relish more than a thousand years later.

Today there is Monk Jueneng, who might not be able to leave a few lines in the history books.

"Monk, you are a monk, you must be honest, you must face your inner ambition. If you are hypocritical, you will inevitably give birth to inner demons. Going into Qi deviation is sooner or later. You are shouldering the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of Buddhism; if you enter the devil, how should Buddhism handle itself? I'm afraid it will retreat twenty years."

Chen Guanlou looked sincere, but in fact, he was digging into people's hearts.

"Amitabha, thank you Benefactor for the reminder. This poor monk will face his heart and cast aside desire."

"You are a person first, then a monk. As a person, you cannot go against human nature. Desire is human nature, and ambition is also human nature. Cast aside? Hehe! I see you are not far from going into Qi deviation. Facing it is not asking you to stop it, but asking you to guide it. Blocking is not as good as guiding; don't you even understand such a simple truth?"

Chen Guanlou guided step by step, looking like he loved to be a teacher.

Who knows that he is full of selfishness and greed, and is not a good person!

Jueneng's face was expressionless. "Benefactor's words are reasonable, but Buddhism has its own Buddhist techniques; don't bother Benefactor."

"It seems I am meddling." Chen Guanlou mocked himself. "Can you tell me where the future of us martial artists lies? Don't tell me about advancing to Grandmaster. Grandmaster is so difficult! One in ten thousand. I don't have the confidence that I can become the lucky one in ten thousand. Monk, do you have it?"

"Regardless of whether there is confidence, one should persist! In the martial arts path, if you don't advance, you retreat. Could it be that Benefactor Chen has been confused by the flower world and given up the pursuit of martial arts? If this is really the case, this poor monk's suggestion is, might as well temporarily put down everything in the secular world and find a simple and quiet place to penetrate the demonic obstacles. Amitabha!"

Monk Jueneng sang a Buddha name.

Chen Guanlou smiled and nodded. "Monk, you are right, but I won't adopt your opinion. Compared to penetrating, I prefer the flower world, especially holding a beautiful girl to sleep; it is a happy event in life. Monk, you should taste this feeling, so as not to come to the world in vain."

Jueneng's face changed slightly; these words were blasphemy and insult for a monk who had received precepts.

If the other party was an ordinary person, he would have beaten him out long ago.

If the other party's martial arts cultivation was a bit lower, he would also fight hard to drive the other party away.

Unfortunately, he knew very well that he was not Chen Guanlou's opponent and could only stare.

"Monk, don't stare at me. The red dust world is indeed dirty and will pollute your soul. However, the red dust world is also very clean and can temper your willpower. Color is emptiness, emptiness is color; if you can see color as nothing, you will understand! Do you want me to arrange a test for you? I have experience in this area."

Chen Guanlou smiled that wasn't a smile.

"Exempt!" Monk Jueneng kept a straight face, like a yin-yang person. "Benefactor Chen's good intentions, I can only appreciate. My Dao is not the same as yours, so don't force them together. You have your red dust Dao, I have my Buddhist Dao; we should mind our own business."

"Makes sense!" Chen Guanlou nodded, looking like he realized his mistake.

Immediately after, he laughed again. "Speaking of cultivating immortality, don't hide it from you, these years I have been pondering and looking for whether I can find the way for immortals to descend in the early years, and then we can work together to replicate it. If there is a chance, we must go to the cultivation world to take a look. I think, with Ninth Rank cultivation, we have the strength to fight in the cultivation world; at worst, we will be deserters, it's not shameful. Monk, are you interested?"

Jueneng was interested, but he didn't say it clearly.

"Benefactor Chen's assumption is interesting, but where should we start? Things from hundreds of years ago, I'm afraid everything has long been eliminated by history and turned into dust."

"So I need your effort. You have connections and resources in this area, you have time to read extensively, and you have time to ponder. On the contrary, I am ignorant and incompetent, at most I can move my brain and give a suggestion to find another way. How about it, do you want to cooperate?"

"Is Benefactor Chen sincere in wanting to cooperate with this poor monk, or is he playing with this poor monk?"

"In your eyes, do I have no credibility?" Chen Guanlou sneered. "Go out and ask around; who doesn't know that I, Chen Guanlou, am a person who keeps his promises, and there is absolutely no betrayal."

"You didn't betray, but when you kill people, you don't seem to be soft-handed."

"Nonsense! Slander! This is a rumor! Who did I kill? Monk, you can't listen to the wind and rain. I give you ideas, everyone gets rich together; why are you unwilling? Do you look down on me?" Chen Guanlou denied it repeatedly, his emotions excited, questioning the other party repeatedly.

Monk Jueneng said a Buddha name, and then said: "Benefactor Chen, don't be excited. What I want to say is, I don't believe in cultivating immortality. Therefore, I can only say sorry, we cannot cooperate."

After Chen Guanlou finished listening, he was not disappointed at all, but smiled satisfactorily.

"Pure Yang Old Daoist said you are a hypocrite, and I didn't believe it. It turns out I was wrong! Immeasurable Longevity Buddha!" Chen Guanlou performed a Daoist salute pretentiously.

Jueneng was expressionless, watching his performance.

"You are indeed not a suitable partner, because you are not sincere enough. In the future, if I have a way to the immortal world, don't envy me, and don't fight for it. If you fight, I will definitely kill you!"

"Amitabha, it turns out Benefactor came here today just to threaten this poor monk. This poor monk understands. Benefactor, don't worry, this poor monk will not fight."

"You had better keep your word. If you violate today's oath, I will slaughter your whole clan." Chen Guanlou said with full killing intent while laughing, looking like he was joking; only the person involved knew that he was definitely not joking. He was serious, incomparably serious.

He likes to be a small person first and a gentleman later, teaching and then punishing, to avoid people being noisy.

His cooperation with Zhang Daohe will sooner or later be unable to be hidden. Inside the Bai Lian, it may not be a piece of iron. He left the capital for a year, and it is estimated that everyone knows he went to the Great Wilderness and mixed with some Bai Lian figures.

Since the news will leak sooner or later, it is better for him to strike first. In the future, when killing people, there will be a legitimate reason.

In the whole capital, it is estimated that only the Emperor doesn't know he is mixed with the Bai Lian. ===== CHAPTER 1402 =====
