136: Chapter 136 Jiang Chen Enters the Buddhist Order

"Hahaha, Jiang Chen is really interesting; he's ruthless enough to himself."

"It's a pity that I don't have the Bixie Sword Manual, otherwise I really would have fulfilled your wish."

In the study, Chu Yuan, who watched everything through the remote live broadcast, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Jiang Chen.

To be able to wield the knife for self-castration, cutting off two taels of excess flesh—throughout history, I'm afraid only this Protagonist, Jiang Chen, could be ruthless enough to do such a thing.

It's just unclear whether Jiang Chen, having lost those two taels of excess flesh, will be able to reach a height that satisfies me under the training of The Monk Jiesha.

"Ding! Host has manipulated Protagonist Jiang Chen into becoming the disciple of The Monk Jiesha; Host gains 3000 villain points."

"Ding! Host has manipulated Protagonist Jiang Chen into self-castration; Host gains 7000 villain points."

The series of notifications made Chu Yuan happy.

Keeping this guy Jiang Chen around really does have its uses.

Look at this, the harvest he brought me is unexpected.

Jiang Chen didn't know that his famous scene of wielding the knife for self-castration was seen clearly by Chu Yuan.

Having lost two taels of excess flesh and suffering from excessive blood loss, he fainted on the spot.

The Monk Jiesha was also full of surprise when he saw this heroic feat of Jiang Chen.

He had only been spouting nonsense, yet this trash actually really wielded the knife to castrate himself.

No wonder he calls himself the Howling Celestial Dog; he's as stupid as a dog.

No, that's not right, the Howling Celestial Dog isn't as stupid as you.

Fortunately, The Monk Jiesha's cultivation of self-restraint had reached its peak, so he didn't laugh out loud.

Jiang Chen's wailing finally attracted the attention of nearby people.

If one is going to act, one must do it completely. The Monk Jiesha grabbed his unconscious, foolish disciple, and with a swift dodge, took him away from the hospital.

Finding a secluded place, after much work, he finally stopped the bleeding for Jiang Chen.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the pale-faced Jiang Chen finally regained consciousness.

The cold sensation between his legs, the feeling of missing something, finally made Jiang Chen realize that from now on, he would no longer be a normal man.

"Master, I have already lost everything. I beg Master to teach me martial arts and help me take revenge."

Jiang Chen, having lost the light in his eyes, fell to his knees with a thud at the feet of The Monk Jiesha.

To him, there was only one purpose for living: to seek revenge on Chu Yuan. He was now a machine for vengeance.

"Amitabha. Since you wish to join my Buddhist sect, you must let go of all worldly attachments."

"This monk will tonsure you today. From now on, you will no longer be Jiang Chen. Your parents and relatives will no longer be your kin. You must let go of everything in the secular world."

Hearing The Monk Jiesha speak so terrifyingly made Jiang Chen's hair stand on end.

If one were to sever all ties with all relatives, and even cease to be oneself, what meaning would there be in living?

Such Buddhist rules are truly terrifying.

But he had already lost everything; what else was there to lose?

If he didn't have the Master's protection, once found by Chu Yuan's people, he feared that even if he wanted to enter the monastic life, he would be driven to a dead end.

"Fine, I will temporarily take this bald donkey as my master. Once I learn astonishing skills from him, or obtain rewards from the System and possess extraordinary strength, after I completely destroy Chu Yuan, I will find a way to return to secular life and be myself again."

Jiang Chen thought to himself that his plan was well-calculated.

Imitating The Monk Jiesha, he performed a Buddhist salutation.

"Master, since I am already your disciple, I naturally must learn from Master and convert to the Buddhist sect."

Upon hearing this, The Monk Jiesha did not show any expression. He didn't know where he pulled out a shining precept knife, and pressed Jiang Chen down onto the chair beside him.

Don't let the kind face of this big monk fool you; his strength was astonishing. Jiang Chen was like a little chick, being manipulated at will by the other party.

Relying on this god-like skill, in just a few strokes, he shaved off Jiang Chen's hair, revealing a shiny, bright forehead.

Looking at his masterpiece, The Monk Jiesha couldn't help but nod in satisfaction and praise: "Excellent, excellent. It is complete."

Jiang Chen only felt his scalp go numb. Subconsciously, he raised his hand to touch it, and suddenly his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"My hair is all gone."

The Monk Jiesha had no intention of caring about the trivial matters of this lousy disciple; he was still calculating other things.

"Although this monk has a predestined connection with you, your personality is cruel and your temper is irritable. If you want to enter the monastic life and pay respects to the Buddha, you need to correct all the bad habits on your body."

"Coupled with your current state, for a teacher, I have specially given you a dharma name: Jiese."

"Jiese?"

"Does this mean that from now on, I will be called Jiang Jiese?"

Jiang Chen shuddered, his face full of displeasure.

Clearly, he was not satisfied with this dharma name.

"Jiang Jiese?"

"Sinful, sinful!"

"Jiese, you are already a disciple of my Buddhist sect, and all is void. Your father is no longer your father, and the Jiang surname is no longer your surname."

"Even if you pass away, you cannot be buried in the ancestral grave. This monk will prepare a pile of straw for you and cremate you, in hopes of refining a golden body sarira."

Jiang Chen had long been so scared that his limbs were shaking and his legs were weak.

He never expected that he originally thought he had found a powerful master and a reliable backer.

He never expected it to be a massive pit.

Once converted to the Buddhist sect, not only is he nameless and surname-less, but after death he cannot be buried, and he has to be burned by this big monk.

It's truly living in misery and suffering after death.

"Since you have entered the monastic life, you must abide by the rules and precepts of my Buddhist sect."

"The Buddhist precepts such as Jiesha, abstinence from alcohol, jealousy, gluttony, anger, hatred, Jiese, and greed must be kept in mind at all times."

"As for Jiese, this monk is not worried about you. As for the other rules and precepts, if you dare to break them, do not blame this monk for not regarding our master-disciple relationship."

What?

He actually has to practice Jiesha and abstain from anger? How can he go and take revenge on Chu Yuan like this?

Jiang Chen completely collapsed, and he even had the urge to refuse in his heart.

Where is this a Buddhist sect? It's simply crazier than a mental illness.

He was even worried that if he stayed by this big monk's side for too long, would he be tortured into insanity by the other party?

That little thought of resistance was finally defeated by reality.

With no way out, Jiang Chen could only choose to join in.

Looking at The Monk Jiesha with a face of utter despair: "Master, since I have agreed to enter the monastic life and lost so much, I wonder what I can gain."

"Very good. Disciple, you truly have a predestined connection with my Buddha. So quickly, you have been able to penetrate the supreme Dao Dharma of my Buddhist sect."

"The Buddha says, where there is loss, there is gain. The more you lose, disciple, the more you will naturally gain in the future."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen became interested; he finally heard what he wanted to hear.

What nonsense about taking a master, what nonsense about entering the monastic life—being able to obtain benefits was Jiang Chen's true pursuit.

After pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, and after several consecutive days of eating excrement and drinking urine, Jiang Chen's personality had long since changed drastically.

He would not stop until he achieved his goal. In order to kill Chu Yuan, he, Jiang Chen, could use any means necessary.
