The abbot of Doushi Temple, leading his disciples, opened the mountain gate and walked to the stage. At this moment, Shen Qiang was sitting in a chair with a cheerful smile.
On the stage, beautiful girls in tight leather pants were dancing seductively.
Honestly speaking, in terms of figure, appearance, and their level of openness, the dance troupe Bianyi had found were absolutely actors of a demon level.
The tight leather pants clung to their round hips, the deliberately provocative and sexy dance moves were no less than those popular female streamers.
However, in terms of temperament, they still fell short compared to the beauties around Shen Qiang.
After all, women are more attractive when they are dignified and innocent.
"Amitabha! Benefactors, would you please stop this unseemly performance?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang slightly turned his head and saw the abbot of Doushi Temple in a kasaya.
At this moment, he was looking down at his feet.
The young and strong martial monks behind him were secretly glancing at the girls on stage.
"Watch the show!"
Bianyi, smiling, casually grabbed a heap of cash and tossed it onto the stage.
Seeing the money, the girls immediately got excited, grabbing the cash with squeals. Their movements became even bolder, and as they sent flirtatious glances, the martial monks, though maintaining a righteous demeanor, had nosebleeds flowing despite the winter chill.
The abbot of Doushi Temple in the kasaya still managed to maintain his composure, but another old monk beside him chanted a Buddha's name.
"Amitabha!"
The voice wasn't particularly loud, but it immediately suppressed the sound from the speakers.
Seeing the abbot's anger, Shen Qiang smiled slightly, gently raising his hand, prompting the sound technician to pause the music.
"How should I address you, Master?" Shen Qiang asked knowingly.
The abbot of Doushi Temple in a kasaya, with a single hand in greeting, slightly bowed and said, "The abbot of Doushi Temple, Shi Shengyi, greets Benefactor Shen."
"Don't call me a benefactor," Shen Qiang said with a faint smile, "I won't be offering anything to Doushi Temple."
The abbot Shi Shengyi said in a deep voice, "Benefactor Shen, by creating spiritual medicine and saving lives, you have already offered the greatest almsgiving. Doushi Temple can be self-sufficient."
Shen Qiang smiled, glancing at Qian Shanxue who was delightfully surprised.
"Old monk, do you know why I have the dance troupe perform here?"
The abbot Shi Shengyi said in a deep voice, "Benefactor Shen stops at nothing to achieve his goals, desecrating the Buddhist way, creating evil karma..."
"What is desecration?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly and said, "In broad daylight, with the sun shining, they are dancing in leather outfits, which is not illegal even in the city center. If you keep circling around with me, I will make them dance here every day, and naked."
"Shen Qiang! Don't push us too far! How can we cultivate in peace while they dance like this?" The martial monk with a nosebleed said angrily.
Shen Qiang smiled indifferently, "You are deceiving yourselves. As the saying goes, 'Bodhi is not a tree, the spiritual realm is not a platform, fundamentally nothing exists, so where can dust collect?' They are just trying to earn some money to support their families."
"If you are truly virtuous monks, unmoved by desire, they can dance as they please while you cultivate in peace. Moreover, it's not illegal for them to dance here no matter who comes."
The martial monk was agitated and shouted, "This is too much! Abbot, act now!"
The martial monks behind him also expressed their opinions.
"Such demons must be subdued!"
Seeing their aggressive stance, Shen Qiang instantly unleashed the Plague Source.
Numerous canned viruses instantly infected all the monks present.
"You are the ones pushing too far." Sitting in his chair, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow calmly. "On the other side of the ridge, 137 bodies were found. We just hope you can cooperate in our investigation and help us find the real culprit."
"But you first said that women were not allowed, then called me a demon. The truth is clear to everyone. That murderous demon, hiding here for over thirty years, must be sheltered in Doushi Temple."
"You are protecting him, feigning ignorance, not cooperating, not investigating, and showing an indifferent attitude. Don't blame me for being impolite."
Hearing this, the abbot of Doushi Temple in a kasaya, his eyes suddenly shone sharply, shouted, "Benefactor Shen, you'd better not push your luck. The Buddhist way has its methods of subduing demons."
Shen Qiang smiled.
Understanding his cue, Bianyi grabbed several bundles of cash and threw them onto the stage.
"Dance naked."
A delighted dancer collected the money and immediately began to sensually move, removing her clothes bit by bit. As her pale skin was revealed.
The monks behind immediately closed their eyes, pressing their palms together, and began to chant aloud.
"Namo Amitabha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha. Amida Buddha..."
As the monks chanted, an aura of solemnity and reverence arose, unexpectedly dissipating some of the suppressed anger in Shen Qiang's heart.
"What are they chanting?" Shen Qiang asked in surprise, glancing at Bianyi.
Bianyi shook his head, "I'm fond of killing, I don't believe in Buddha."
Almost at the same time, Qian Shanxue, who had been silent, said softly, "It's the Heart Clarity Spell."
Shen Qiang made an "oh" sound.
Bianyi laughed upon hearing it, "Hunger, desire, and the thirst for knowledge are the three inherent desires of humanity. Even those who aspire to be saints should reasonably channel these desires. Suppressing one's true self with spells, how can that be the right path?"
Hearing this.
The martial monk behind the abbot roared and charged at Shen Qiang and Bianyi, shouting fiercely, "Such demons must be killed to uphold justice!"
"Stop!" The abbot of Doushi Temple shouted.
But it was too late; the martial monk had already rushed forward like the wind.
At this moment, Shen Qiang, resting his head on the armrest of the chair, revealed a mocking smile.
Instantly, the poised Ji Wei and the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon stopped their movements.
Then, to everyone's horror, they saw the martial monk, who had rushed within ten meters of Shen Qiang, suddenly fall to the ground with a thud, clutching his throat and making exaggerated gasping motions, but unable to breathe.
"What have you done!" The abbot of Doushi Temple was horrified.
Sitting in the chair, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I did nothing. He must have been struck by divine retribution for protecting that murderous demon."
Almost simultaneously.
The monks behind the abbot also fell to the ground, convulsing and clutching their throats as if an invisible hand had strangled them.
Smiling at the shocked abbot, Shen Qiang said with a slight smile, "You have fifty seconds to decide. If you repent and stop protecting that murderous demon, the Buddha might spare these disciples. Otherwise, prepare to collect their bodies."
