Genius Daddy in the City

Chapter 632: Wisdom King’s Craftiness!

Wisdom King’s gaze paused for a moment before he regained his previous calmness hearing what Ye Chen said, “As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate. Riches and honor are determined by the heavens. A person’s death and how they die is destined.This is fate, it’s the Heaven Dao!”

He shook his head with a faint smile, “Since it’s the Heaven Dao, then why should we care? Moreover, greed, anger, and foolishness are the three poisons, causing one to sink into the cycle of life and death, the source of sin!”

As he said that, he shifted the topic back to Ye Chen again, “On the other hand, you’re indulging your greed and anger, releasing your sins to kill. Such behavior is no different from self-exile.”

“You’re teaching me a lesson now!” Ye Chen chuckled in surprise.

“It’s not a lesson, but advice!”

Wisdom King nodded slightly with an extremely benevolent expression, “If you want to become Buddha, you need to subdue your heart. Your Excellency’s actions are vastly different from his. One day, you will be plagued by baleful aura and karma. You’ll walk the path of self-destruction.

It’s fate that we met today. If you’re willing to make a decision to get rid of this disaster, this monk can let you cultivate in my temple for a month to resolve the baleful aura in you.

I can also let you read the scriptures of my temple. My Kongobuji originated from the Emperor Saga Era and has been around for 1,400 years. During this period, countless Buddhist masters have come and even left behind countless scriptures containing great wisdom.”

He shook his head as if he was showing off and trying to persuade Ye Chen, “For instance, the founder of our temple, Kobo Daishi Kukai. He left behind the Peerless Scripture which will definitely help you!”

“I wonder what price will I have to pay?” Ye Chen gave a short response. He did not show any expression on his face.

Kongobuji was not only the holy land of the Japanese Buddhist Dharma, it was also known internationally. Many devotees wanted to come in to take a look.

Not to mention the Peerless Scripture left behind by Kobo Daishi Kukai.

“You don’t have to pay!”

Wisdom King shook his head and said with a smile, “On your journey here, countless powerhouses have died under your hands. If you convert to Buddhism, it means that countless people will be saved in the future. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. This humble monk’s actions may not seem like I’m asking for anything in return, but it’s actually a great kindness!”

“Where’s the Peerless Scripture? Why don’t you show me?” Ye Chen stood up and said.

“Sure!”

Wisdom King got up slowly, walked behind the Buddha statue, and took out a sandalwood box. The box was only the size of a palm, and it was covered in dust. It looked quite old.

“This is ‘The Righteousness of Becoming a Buddha’, written by Master Kukai himself. There are Master Kukai’s notes and insights in there. If you read them, you will definitely benefit greatly!”

He slowly handed the sandalwood box to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was not in a hurry to open it after receiving it. Instead, he started examining it carefully. However, Wisdom King reminded him expressionlessly, “Sir, you must not be distracted. You must focus on heaven instead of hell. Hurry up and open the sandalwood box to read the scriptures!”

However, Ye Chen suddenly burst into laughter, “Old monk, you’re really vicious!”

“What do you mean?”

Wisdom King’s expression changed slightly, “This monk was kind enough to lend you the Peerless Scripture for a look. Forget it that you’re not grateful of my kindness, you’re saying that I possess ill intentions?”

“Please put away your fake benevolence!”

Ye Chen smiled coldly and interrupted him, “You invited me to the temple first, then asked me to sit down and served tea. Everything was done with extreme enthusiasm. You’re just trying to lower my guard!

You saw that my wariness was almost gone, and you were trying to instill some ridiculous theories about baleful aura and karma into me in order to lure me to this sandalwood box, right?”

Wisdom King’s expression changed hearing what Ye Chen said. He took a step back and said stubbornly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Ye Chen said again, “If I’m not mistaken, there’s something in this box, right? Are you planning to use it to plot against me?”

The moment he finished speaking, a black gleam and a stern look flashed through Wisdom King’s eyes. He then laughed, “What a great Mad Southern Ye. It seems like I’ve underestimated you. It’s no wonder that the three of them died at your hands!

However, I’m curious about how you saw through me.”

He glared at Ye Chen.

From the moment Ye Chen entered the temple until now, he thought that he had disguised himself well. He could be said to be flawless!

“How could your sneaky tricks escape my eyes?”

Ye Chen scoffed coldly, “Most importantly, I’ve never taken you seriously from the beginning. I don’t believe in Buddhism or any bullsh*t karma!”

“Hahaha!”

Wisdom King’s face twitched slightly, then he laughed out loud, “Great, great. Your guess is absolutely correct!”

His expression was not as kind as before. There was only endless hostility, “But you still haven’t guessed one thing!”

“Oh? What is it?” Ye Chen’s expression did not change.

“It’s the tea you drank earlier!”

Wisdom King laughed sinisterly. He looked at Ye Chen as if he was looking at a dead person, “There’s a strange place in the West called the Pantheon Garden. It’s said that the gods of the West are buried there. There’s a kind of plant that grows on corpses. It blooms and bears fruit overnight and withers overnight.

The plant is beautiful every time it blooms. It will give off a sweet fragrance, and then countless strange insects will fly over and attach themselves to it to suck the flower dew.

Other than sucking the dew, one of the bugs can enter a person’s body through their skin and suck their soul!”

At this point, Wisdom King smiled coldly, “Unfortunately, the tea you drank just now was brewed by that flower, and the box in your hand contains that kind of bug!”

As he was speaking, a crisp sound was heard.

Crack!

A hole as thick as a thumb cracked in the sandalwood box in Ye Chen’s hand.

At the next moment, a bug the size of a middle finger and the length of a finger flew out from the hole. The bug looked like a butterfly and was colorful. However, the moment it appeared, the temperature in the hall dropped.

When he saw that, Wisdom King laughed while gloating, “Mad Southern Ye, so what if you’re the East Asia No.1? So what if you’re smart? You still fell for my trick!”

He seemed to have seen what would happen to Ye Chen after his soul was devoured.

However, at the next moment, his expression froze.

The monkey on Ye Chen’s body shoved the bug into its mouth with a whoosh and started chewing. It looked at him pitifully after that.

“H-How is this possible?!”

Wisdom King looked as if he had seen a ghost as he roared at the top of his lungs.

He did not know that the monkey was a Weeping Soul Beast. In terms of the ability to devour souls, who in the world could be compared to it?

“Take a look at this.”

Ye Chen chuckled softly and slowly opened his palm. He held a handful of tea in his hand. It did not seem like it was spilling at all.

It was the tea he had drunk earlier.

“Y-You...” Wisdom King was in disbelief.

Ye Chen took a step forward, “If I’m not mistaken, you’ve killed the Demon Blade Muramasa, right? You have my stuff too, am I right?!”
