Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 571 - 369: Scheming, Selling Secrets, Princess Please Behave Properly!_3
The Evilslaying Arhat used to sell hooks before he became a monk, back in the year....
The Evilslaying Arhat and his senior brothers from the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple sold hooks, the Evilslaying Arhat and the abbot of the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple in the meditation room... sold hooks.... The entire Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple sold hooks....
Shadow Commander: "....."
"Taoist, forgive my frankness, do you really think anyone will believe this method?"
Yi Chen responded with a mysterious smile, "Just follow the plan, my lord. I have already outlined the gist of it. My lord should find a few novelists with exquisite literary skills to polish it up, ensuring it is incredibly lifelike."
"Please also find for me a few Taoist friends skilled in the art of transformation to record a few of the Evilslaying Monk's amorous encounters with the Liuying Jade. We need a lot of this material. I want it spread among the monks in the north of the Luo River and, if possible, even among the common folk."
Shadow Commander: "....."
The Shadow Commander didn't understand, but Yi Chen understood all too well.
That was the charm of a rumor-monger: spreading a rumor takes but a word from the mouth, while refuting it could break your legs from running. Moreover, with videos presenting the 'truth,' what does it matter? You say the images on the Liuying Jade are fake? Is that important?
After all, as bystanders who come for the drama, how many care whether Liu Zi really ate several bowls of rice noodles or not?
Such salacious gossip is the best at stirring up public opinion. After all, everyone loves such stories, whether they are true or not.
He would never stop until Jue Xin was blackened as a pervert and the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple was turned into a hook-selling monastery. He had prepared a complete hook-selling literary outline for them. He spent money generously, encouraging disheartened literati to participate in crafting the hook literature of the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple.
With him stirring up trouble from behind, the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple wouldn't be able to suppress this tide of rumors.
In his previous life, before he became famous, he had practiced his skills leading a group of online trolls; he was exceptionally skilled at this kind of thing.
To his knowledge, such a despicable tactic had never been used in the cultivation world of the Central Continent. In the future, monks of the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple traveling the world would inevitably have to carry the symbol of a hook-seller.
Those from the demonic paths and evil cultivators were not the kind to hold their tongue in the name of virtue. Every one of them had their own character. If they could disgust the Buddhist community and the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple, this group would surely add fuel to the fire. Once the snowball starts rolling, the fun would truly begin.
Just imagine for a moment.
Monk from the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple: "Bold demons, bold evil cultivators, you...."
"Heh, you Heavenly Dragon Temple monks should wipe your own asses clean first. You sell hooks... "
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I've got evidence! Plenty of Liuying Jade recordings and books, and a lot of victims have come forward to testify."
"Those are fake!"
"I won't listen; they're real!"
"Aaargh, you're courting death! Take this!"
"Who's scared of who, come on, I will certainly not run away, my backside turned to you Heavenly Dragon Temple monks!"
....
With just hook literature, and using the theory of being fooled by a monkey, the verbal retorts of the Heavenly Dragon Temple were almost completely neutralized—self-justification was a deep pit, and nowhere near as quick as Yi Chen's strategy of spreading rumors.
Not self-justify or refute? You see, they're admitting it!
With his and Yue family's support from behind, the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple could never hope to suppress this matter.
Compared to his ability, Yi Chengzi, to disgust people and play with unsubstantiated charges, these monks were like children.
Before, it was merely Yi Taoist restraining the demon inside his own heart.
And besides, this was only the first step of his plan. If he could catch the Evilslaying Monk and verify the charges? For instance, get some fine medicines from the Great Qin, and have three hundred and sixty pieces of Liuying Jade record the act without a blind spot.
As long as there's a hint of truth mixed in, when mud and feces are combined, others would not bother distinguishing which is which but would presume everything in your pocket is dung.
Under Yi Chen's guidance, the Shadow Commander left with a complex expression, his mind troubled over how to report this to the Emperor of Yue.... Now his head was full of hooks, selling more and more hooks.
Right after the Shadow Commander stood up and left, Yue Qingzhu swept her sleeves and the doors and windows suddenly closed, plunging the room into dimness.
In the semi-darkness of the room, Yue Qingzhu bit her lip and actually took the initiative to sit on Yi Chen's lap.
Yi Chen: "....."
"What does this mean, Daoist Qing Zhu?"
"I wish to share a spring breeze with Taoist Yi once, without any entanglement," said Yue Qing Zhu as she slipped off her robe halfway, her fair arm circling Yi Chen's neck.
"Your Highness, please have some self-respect! I am certainly not such a person!" Yi Chen's mind was now a bit muddled. What was this script? A princess's leap?
