A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

In fact, what the fat monk said was just a show of weakness.

Let's see Zhang Zhengdao's reaction.

Zhang Zhengdao said, "I really don't care about these things. He's not my disciple, nor is he my pet. He just happened to get one of my scriptures."

Upon hearing this, both the fat monk and the old monk understood.

The atmosphere then became cheerful again.

White peony, in particular, is very good at creating a lively atmosphere.

"Let me dance for everyone!" Bai Mudan swayed her slender waist and twisted her hips, then started dancing in circles in the meditation room on her own.

Without a doubt, this White Peony truly lives up to her reputation as a celestial fairy descended to earth; her dancing is genuinely talented. Especially when she bends backward, her waist almost reaches a 270-degree angle, and then her head comes through between her outstretched legs, with a chicken leg dangling from her mouth, winking at Zhang Zhengdao.

Does this mean Zhang Zhengdao should catch it with his mouth?

That's incredibly licentious.

Zhang Zhengdao said he couldn't accept it unless they moved their mouths even closer...

A joyous feast of wine and meat, along with a beautifully staged performance by women, finally came to an end in the old monk's solemn, serene, and serene meditation room, filled with the atmosphere of Buddhism.

After Zhang Zhengdao, the fat monk, and Bai Mudan left, the old monk looked at the chicken bones scattered on the ground with a constipated expression. He couldn't help but recite his mental state several times before his mood calmed down.

Once they were far away, the old monk decided to clean the room.

Just then, a Taoist priest suddenly entered through the back door, peeked in cautiously, and asked, "Have they all left?"

The old monk said irritably, "They're all gone. How can the dignified Fuyaozi be so cowardly?"

Fu Yaozi said, "I am very bold in front of the monks in your temple and the little demons in the reed marshes. But we should still have a sense of awe."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, who is that fat monk? Why do you seem to respect him so much? He's eating meat, drinking wine, and even squinting his eyes when he looks at Bai Mudan."

The old monk said, "In the past, the Buddha manifested in countless forms. Some of these forms were manifestations of the Buddha's various desires before he became a Buddha. So the fat monk you see who drinks alcohol, eats meat, and is lustful is just an incarnation."

So he was the incarnation of a Buddhist leader.

Fuyaozi broke out in a cold sweat again.

Fortunately, I didn't rush in rashly. Otherwise, I would not only have to face that terrifying Taoist priest, but also a big shot from Buddhism. How would I have convinced myself not to tremble then?

Fuyaozi plopped down and said to the old monk, "Stop for a moment. Have we finished what we needed to do? What did that Taoist priest say?"

The old monk stopped and said, "That Taoist priest doesn't concern himself with this matter."

Fu Yaozi shook her head: "On the surface, we're not going to do anything, but... shouldn't we hold back a little? Just a slight punishment will do. Let's give her some face and let her know that we have the ability to suppress her..."

The old monk smiled wryly: "My helper hasn't arrived yet, so let's get to the point!"

The temple fair in Jiangning City is still going strong today.

After Zhang Zhengdao and Bai Mudan came out, the fat monk wandered around the street and then disappeared.

Zhang Zhengdao didn't bother with him. Although they were friends, they would chat for a while when they met, and then each would go about their own business. This was the most comfortable way to get along.

Bai Mudan encountered a woman from another painted boat on the Qinhuai River on the street.

She was a woman with delicate features, bright eyes, and an elegant and graceful figure. Just a glance at Zhang Zhengdao from her eyes was enough to exude charm.

However, Zhang Zhengdao could tell at a glance that this woman was no match for Bai Mudan.

Bai Mudan is a performer who doesn't sell her body; she's a true virgin.

But this woman was experienced and constantly changing her approach.

It's fortunate that Zhang Zhengdao could see these things; otherwise, if this woman were on Earth, she would definitely be a top-tier, high-level "green tea" (a manipulative woman) fighter.

Every smile and frown is full of charm, comparable to that of the White Peony.

"Oh dear, Qiu Niang, you don't know, the abbot of Jin Guang Temple insisted on inviting me in for tea. I was originally going shopping, but the abbot was too enthusiastic, so I had no choice but to reluctantly go to his meditation room for tea."

Bai Mudan truly has excellent tea-making skills.

Qiu Niang was taken aback and covered her mouth, saying, "You...you don't even spare the monks? That's too much..."

Bai Mudan almost coughed up blood.

How could you interpret it that way?

Shouldn't you ask, "Even the abbot personally invited you to the meditation room for tea? That must be a huge honor." This woman is truly no good; she's a worthy adversary.

Bai Mudan immediately laughed, and even took out a handkerchief, waved it in the air, and diverted Qiu Niang's attention.

But he said aloud, "He is a highly virtuous monk. What are you thinking? If this gets to the abbot's ears, you probably won't be able to stay in Qinhuai River anymore, and Jiangning City won't tolerate you either."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiu Niang immediately stopped making up stories.

He muttered to himself, "What's so interesting about a monk's meditation room? Is it inlaid with gold and silver or something?"

White Peony chuckled lightly, becoming smug.

"Gold and silver are so vulgar! Who is the host?" Bai Mudan paused for a moment before unleashing her ultimate move, "The master invited me to drink the Azure Sky Tea."

Qiu Niang was taken aback; this was Bishui Qingtian Tea.

Did this woman get incredibly lucky? Otherwise, why would a perfectly good monk give her the Azure Sky Tea?

"Is it fake?" Qiu Niang asked doubtfully.

"Fake? Hehe, the brewing techniques and tea-pouring and drinking skills of the Azure Sky Tea were all taught to me personally by the master. Why don't you come to my pleasure boat tonight and I'll show you?"

White Peony was pleased with herself at this moment.

Qiu Niang's arrogance vanished completely, and she could only awkwardly try to salvage the situation: "Who knows if it's true or not!"

Bai Mudan said, "Why don't we invite the celebrities of Jiangning City to watch my demonstration in person?"

Qiu Niang was filled with unease. If it was fake, this woman would suffer no loss. But if it was real, wouldn't all the high-ranking officials and nobles flock to this shameless woman's pleasure boat?

How to do business in the future?

How to snag a rich husband?

She was instantly furious, kicked her foot hard, gave Zhang Zhengdao a mournful look, and then walked away with a sway of her hips and a swagger, showing no trace of grief or despair.

Since I can't beat you, I'll steal your client.

Bai Mudan also felt wronged; it was too arrogant of her to openly challenge Zhang Zhengdao.

She stomped her foot, pouted, and looked at Zhang Zhengdao with a mournful gaze, wanting some comfort.

"What are you?"

白牡丹：？？？

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at the woman acting strangely.

"What are you?"

White Peony: ...

The man did it on purpose, snorted, and charged straight ahead as if he were riding on wheels of fire, rushing away angrily.

After rushing for quite a distance, I looked back and found that the Taoist priest had disappeared.

A sudden panic gripped him. He looked around, but the Taoist priest was nowhere to be seen. Left with no other choice, he turned back to see where the plague-stricken, short-lived Taoist had gone.

Bai Mudan couldn't find Zhang Zhengdao, and she was so anxious that sweat was pouring down her forehead.

This is the most generous person she has ever been, with the most high-end social circle, and the people she associates with are all clients of high-end individuals. Moreover, she is highly skilled; even Lü Dongbin was left looking rather foolish by her.

They couldn't find anyone by dusk.

Anger, dissatisfaction, resentment, disappointment, expectation, wishing...

Various emotions kept surfacing in my mind, overwhelming my feelings.

When the afterglow spread across the river, she leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance for a long time. Then, she turned her head and saw a fat man with a bald head, hair combed into two buns on the sides, a long beard, a big belly, and an open chest.

The man's large face was right in front of her, with a lecherous look on his face.

Bai Mudan was immediately displeased. "Heh," she thought, "does this kind of man deserve to look at me like that? Is he as rich as Master Zhang?"

He's so plain he's not even worth ten copper coins!

Is he as good-looking as Zhang Daozhang?

That big belly clearly indicates the appearance of a middle-aged or elderly man who has gained weight. Such men are mostly greasy men from wealthy families who come out looking for casual sex.

Despite his incompetence, he still neglects his wife at home and goes out to seek out women.

Is there a Taoist priest who is unrestrained and romantic, and has a method for fighting?

Hehe, it seems...

At this age, when you're too old to even try, all the methods you use are like a chicken trying to hatch a duck—just busywork in vain.

"What are you doing?" Bai Mudan shouted loudly.

This shout immediately attracted the attention of passersby. When they saw that it was a beautiful woman and a fat old man, they all gathered around.

The fat man was surprised that Bai Mudan would shout, and quickly said, "I meant no harm."

Bai Mudan snorted: "I don't believe it. Look at you, you must be after my beauty..."

The fat man was no longer in a hurry or annoyed. Instead, he calmly smiled at Bai Mudan and said, "I came to Jiangning today to meet some friends. I didn't expect to meet you."

Bai Mudan immediately said, "I knew it... you were lustful at first sight, weren't you?"

The fat man shook his head, lowered his voice, and said in a voice only he and Bai Mudan could hear, "You, a flower fairy, dare to parade around in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid I'll take you in?"

Bai Mudan immediately widened her innocent eyes, pointed at the fat old man with her finger, her eyes reddening, and said, "You...you want to abandon your wife and marry me?"

Fat old man: ...

Is this what I just said?

Is this flower demon out of her mind? Or is she taking advantage of my fear of her?

The onlookers immediately surrounded him, and some even mocked, "Look everyone, you're carrying a banana leaf fan, huh, pretending to be sophisticated..."

“How shameless!”

……

This fat old man didn't want to show off in public; even a deity has his reservations.

But in that moment of hesitation and being watched, Bai Mudan disappeared.
