I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"This is not a matter of whether you want to or not, but you have to wake up and can't live in fantasy and dreams forever."

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his complicated emotions, Qin Yao spoke with a sincere expression.

"Fantasy? Dream?" Rouge laughed. "Didn't you hear? They were all calling me Holy Maiden."

Qin Yao: "..."

"Whether you like it or not, starting yesterday, I am your wife, Li Xiuyuan... no, I should say, the wife of the Holy Monk Daoji, through proper channels." Rouge raised her head slightly, with a hint of smugness on her face.

Qin Yao was stunned: "This is blatant marriage fraud!"

"Yes, who told you to trust me so easily? Didn't anyone tell you that society is very dangerous, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie?" Rouge said.

Qin Yao scratched his head: "But the problem is, what are you after? Or rather, you have to be after something, right?"

"I want to be happy, I want to be joyful, and I want to avoid wasting my emotions," Rouge responded.

Qin Yao: "..."

He couldn't understand this mentality.

There's even a vague feeling that it's a bit perverted.

"Is the food good?"

During her silence, Rouge suddenly said, "When I was still unmarried, I seriously studied cooking. I dare not say that I am a first-class chef, but I am definitely not much worse than an average chef."

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "I'm not in the mood to chat about this with you. Let's get straight to the point, how can you move on? Or rather... get a divorce."

Rouge said, "Let me think about it, and I'll tell you when I've figured it out."

Qin Yao: "..."

Is it because fate was changed?

How come the ruthless and powerful female lead Rouge in the original drama seems to have been possessed?

In the ensuing silence, as the two locked eyes, Bi Qing suddenly entered carrying a tray of food and greeted them, "Uncle-Master, Holy Maiden."

Rouge looked in the direction of the voice and her face was filled with a kind smile: "Oh, have you eaten?"

Bi Qing nodded: "I'm full and I've had a good meal. The Holy Maiden's cooking is superb!"

Rouge's smile became even brighter, and she promised, "From now on, I'll take care of all your meals, since you're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."

Qin Yao said, "Don't you think it's a waste to waste your time on such meaningless things? You've finally obtained a chance to become an immortal, so you should devote all your energy to cultivation..."

"You've forgotten again, I never intended to achieve enlightenment," Rouge interrupted. "If I became a Bodhisattva, how could I be a wife?"

"You've become obsessed with your obsession," Qin Yao said from the bottom of his heart.

He was now basically certain that, under his influence, Rouge no longer harbored resentment, but had instead followed in Ao Cunxin's footsteps.

Of course, compared to Ao Cunxin, although she was cunning, she was not unreasonable or aggressive.

It's just that it's both laughable and frustrating, and even frustrating.

"So what if I become a demon?" Rouge said. "I'll say it again: I only want to be happy. If I'm not happy, or even if I'm going against my conscience, isn't enlightenment a shackle?"

Qin Yao: "..."

Can't say any more.

If we keep going, it'll turn into a debate.

So he decisively turned around and strode away.

Gazing at his retreating figure, Rouge gave a soft snort, then turned to Biqing and asked, "Biqing, do you support me or him?"

Bi Qing immediately said seriously, "Then I will definitely support you, Holy Maiden. Uncle Daoji is just missing someone to manage him. Your appearance is just right."

"Well said." Rouge patted his shoulder and asked, "What would you like to eat for the next meal? I'll add some dishes for you..."

"Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, like the endless autumn rain; sorrow, sorrow, like the rushing river day and night."

After leaving the kitchen, Qin Yao was like Cao Zhi, overwhelmed with mixed feelings, but lacking the talent to compose poetry, he could only spout rhymes.

"Daoji." In the blink of an eye, as he passed by the Mahavira Hall, Guangliang's voice suddenly rang out from inside the door.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yao paused slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

"Tomorrow is the annual Water and Land Assembly, so dress nicely and normally. Don't embarrass Lingyin Temple," Guangliang said, sticking out his big belly.

Qin Yao blinked.

A grand water and land festival?

Has the rouge hurdle been overcome?

He clearly remembered that in the original work, the Water and Land Assembly took place after the wedding, which led to the plot of the next unit.

Thinking of this, he suddenly seemed less worried and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely dress better and more normally, hahaha."

Guangliang: "..."

Daoji seems to have gone increasingly insane since getting married.
Is this the magic of marriage?

terrible.

That's truly terrifying...

That night.

Inside Qiankun Cave.

Bai Ling entered the cave alone, knelt down and bowed: "Greetings, Master. May I ask what your instructions are?"

"I sensed that treasure... It's a Blood Pill, roughly the size of a pearl. It briefly appeared in the southern part of Lin'an Prefecture this afternoon," said the Master of Qiankun Cave.

Bai Ling replied without hesitation, "This disciple will now head to the South City to find the Blood Pill; however, why did Master summon me alone?"

In response to her question, a red double-headed demonic sword emerged from the giant skull and hovered in front of Bai Ling:

"If you act with Black Wind, what if something goes wrong? Wouldn't you be wiped out in one fell swoop?"
At that time, whether you trouble your other fellow disciples or me, it will be a calamity for my Qiankun lineage.

Therefore, you go first. If anything goes wrong, Black Wind will come to your rescue.

"And this demonic blade is what I prepared for Daoji. If you can catch him off guard and kill him with a single blow, Daoji will surely die!"

Upon hearing this, for some reason, Bai Ling felt a sudden sense of resistance, but in the end, she still raised her hands and accepted the demonic blade: "Master has considered everything carefully, this disciple respects you..."

"Wow~ Is it really that exaggerated? I'm a dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal."

On a large tree on the back mountain of Lingyin Temple, Qin Yao, who had settled down there, murmured to himself.

He knew that the world of the Living Buddha Ji Gong had a very high ceiling. Although it was just a story that happened in the human world, none of the demon kings in it were easy to defeat.

However, from that Netherworld Water to this Deadly Blade, each one is more bizarre than the last. Where did the Master of Qiankun Cave find these things?
Could it be from the Roc?
"Uncle Daoji~" Just as he was deep in thought, Biqing's voice suddenly rang out from under the tree.

Qin Yao snapped out of his daze and looked down, only to see that the other person was still holding a wooden tray filled with fine wine and food, the aroma of which was irresistible…

"Did Rouge send you?" He guessed the truth in an instant and asked softly to confirm.

Bi Qing nodded: "I've put it down for you."

"No, take it away." Qin Yao waved his hand. "That won't do."

Bi Qing carefully put down the tray and said seriously, "It's your business if you don't eat it after I bring it here."

I bring it here, and then I take it away; that's my responsibility.

"Uncle-Master Daoji, please stop being so childish."

Qin Yao laughed angrily, jumped down from the tree branch, and grabbed the other person's ear: "How dare you! You actually started lecturing me."

"It hurts."

Bi Qing kept calling out and pleading. When Qin Yao finally let go, he quickly rubbed his ears and said, "How dare I lecture you? This is just what I really think."

Honestly, Uncle-Master, you can live a life of indulgence with wine and meat while keeping Buddha in your heart, so why can't you accept this relationship?

Both were violations of the precepts, so why favor one over the other?

"You don't know anything." Qin Yao kicked him in the butt and said lightly, "Get lost, and don't say things I don't want to hear."

Bi Qing dusted himself off and ran away, but left behind one sentence: "You don't want to take responsibility, do you?"

Watching his retreating figure, Qin Yao's lips twitched slightly.

Looking down at her plate, she couldn't help but sigh softly, "This rouge is even harder to deal with than Ao Cunxin."

Shifting stars.

The night ends and the day dawns.

Early in the morning, the monks of Lingyin Temple changed into their cleanest and most presentable clothes and, led by Abbot Yuankong in his kasaya, lined up in front of the Mahavira Hall, quietly waiting for the believers to arrive.

However, the group waited from early morning until late morning, but did not see a single believer, which was in stark contrast to the Lingyin Temple Water and Land Festival in previous years.

In the center of the group of monks, Abbot Yuankong stretched his stiff neck and asked, "Guangliang, what's going on?"

Guangliang was also completely baffled, but as the abbot of Lingyin Temple, he could not be stumped by this question. He then confidently declared, "It must be that the believers are heartbroken by Daoji's marriage, which is why they refuse to come to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha."

“Uncle Abbot, quite a few believers came on the day of the wedding,” Biqing said softly.

Guangliang said, "Nonsense, you can have a good meal without paying, are you in or not?"

Bi Qing: "..."

Yuan Kong paused slightly and asked, "Where is Daoji? Why isn't he here?"

Guangliang seized the opportunity to sow discord: "He's never followed the rules..."

"Senior brother, talking badly about people behind their backs will make your tongue rot." Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from behind him.

Guangliang was so startled that he jumped up, turned around abruptly, and glared at them, shouting, "When did you get here?"

"I just arrived and I heard you talking badly about me," Qin Yao said, standing in front of the group of monks with a half-smile.

Guangliang coughed lightly and tried to defend himself, saying, "What do you mean by saying bad things about you? If it weren't for this, why didn't any believers come?"

Qin Yao said, "I went to investigate this matter earlier. After my visits and inquiries, I determined that the reason was that another temple had opened in Lin'an City, and this temple was adjacent to Lingyin Temple, so the believers all went to join in the fun."

"Is it really true?" Guangliang asked doubtfully. "What kind of excitement is there when a temple opens its doors? Are they handing out eggs?"

"If it's about giving out eggs, I'd like to join in the fun too," Bi Qing said.

Guangliang flew into a rage and slapped him on the forehead: "Can't you learn something good from me?"

"Alright, stop fooling around." Yuan Kong said in a low voice, then asked Qin Yao, "Daoji, have you found out the reason behind this?"

"Of course I do. How could I possibly overlook anything when I'm handling things?"

Qin Yao smiled and then said, "The believers went there not because of the eggs, but because it is said that a reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva appeared in Jingguang Temple, who can release Buddha light at any time and place to cure diseases and strengthen the body, so they all went there."

"Manjushri reincarnation?" Yuan Kong asked in astonishment.

“Should we also go on a pilgrimage?” Biqing asked.

"Don't talk nonsense," Qin Yao said. "If he were truly the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, this news would have already shaken the Buddhist world. There's no way I wouldn't have received the news."

Yuan Kong solemnly said, "This matter is of utmost importance. Daoji, go to Jingguang Temple and find out who the other party is."

Qin Yao smiled and accepted the order, then looked at Guang Liang: "Senior brother, come with me, so that you won't doubt what I say again."

Guangliang said, "Let Biqing go with you. I believe what he said."

"Are you sure?" Qin Yao asked.

“What’s uncertain about this?” Guangliang said in a deep voice, “As the abbot, I have a lot of work to do, how can I just run around like this?”

Qin Yao smiled and beckoned, "Since that's the case, Bi Qing, let's go and meet this reincarnation of Manjushri..."

Shortly after.

The two arrived at the gate of Jing'an Temple at a leisurely pace. They saw that the temple gate was wide open, and there were throngs of worshippers. Even the air outside the temple was filled with wisps of smoke.

"So many people," Bi Qing murmured.

Qin Yao said, "They all hope that the legendary Buddha's light can shine on them."

During their conversation, the two entered the temple and found the courtyard filled with worshippers, so much so that those who arrived later had to stand shoulder to shoulder.

"It's even more outrageous inside." Bi Qing gasped.

Qin Yao did not respond, but was thinking about something:
In the original drama, even Daoji was no match for Master Shengde. From this, we can roughly deduce that Shengde must have been at least a Great Luo Celestial Immortal, or even a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Of course, considering his background, it's not an exaggeration for him to possess this level of cultivation; it's not a situation where Great Luo Immortals are everywhere.

In short, the reason this guy impersonated Manjushri Bodhisattva is because his true form was the Fire Spirit Pearl inside Manjushri's mount. After reincarnation, he became the junior brother of the Qiankun Cave Master. He is a top-tier figure in both the Buddhist and demonic realms.

However, even such top giants pale in comparison to themselves now.

If he could directly unleash the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he could have easily crushed them with sheer strength and sent them straight back to Manjushri...

"Master Shengde has arrived!!"

Suddenly, an excited shout reached his ears, causing Qin Yao to quickly come to his senses and turn his head to look.

Countless believers knelt down instantly, like wheat in a raging storm, and looked devoutly at a golden figure that was slowly approaching.

Driven by the herd mentality, Bi Qing instinctively wanted to kneel down, but Qin Yao lifted him up and asked, "What are you doing?"

Bi Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just with them..."

In front of the main hall, the handsome young monk in a golden robe strode up to the altar, looked around, and immediately locked onto the only two people standing there.

He could tell at a glance that the young monk being carried was a reincarnation of a celestial being; but he couldn't discern anything about the figure carrying the monk.

"Amitabha Buddha, may I ask the Dharma Master's name?"

After a moment of contemplation, Master Shengde looked into Qin Yao's eyes and asked the question.

Qin Yao smiled slightly and said, "I am the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva."

Saint Virtue: "..."

The crowd of believers: "..." (End of Chapter)
