Sui You ran off after finishing her words.
Qi Nian chased for a long time but couldn't catch up.
Yue Zhiyin, who had been watching from the side, saw this and couldn't help but comfort Qi Nian, "It's mainly because of the different species. Your demon race has a wide variety of species. Some demons are naturally vegetarian, while others are naturally carnivorous, so it's hard to control."
"But where are there carnivorous birds? Besides vultures." Yue Zhiyin gave an awkward smile, and then carefully recalled if there were any other meat-eating birds, but couldn't remember.
Qi Nian looked at Yue Zhiyin, "Senior Brother, are you trying to comfort me? Why does it sound more and more wrong the more I listen?"
"Actually, the carnivorous species in our demon race can also eat vegetarian food. We are all demons now, and our goal is to cultivate into immortals and undergo a complete transformation. How could we not endure such a small thing?"
Qi Nian said as he turned his head.
He happened to see Qi Yu taking out a chicken leg from his storage pouch.
Qi Nian: "..."
Yue Zhiyin covered his face, suppressing his laughter, and spoke intermittently, "It is said that everything should follow the Heavenly Dao, but now the Heavenly Dao is openly eating chicken legs. So, does this prove that many cultivators who only eat vegetarian food don't need to?"
Feng Mingqi nodded from the side, "Since the Heavenly Dao is eating chicken legs, and cultivating immortal arts has nothing to do with chicken legs, then naturally other cultivators can also eat chicken legs."
Sui You pouted from the side, "Vultures do not belong to the Phoenix clan. Therefore, although the Phoenix clan is the king of all birds, it does not mean that all birds are related to our Phoenix clan. We Phoenix clan do not represent other birds, especially vultures. We have absolutely nothing to do with them. Don't count that fellow as part of our Phoenix clan in the future."
Sui You hated the vulture's bald head to death, so she was very insistent on this matter.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about vultures. Let's talk about us." Yue Zhiyin said, then looked around again, and finally couldn't help but shake his head, "If we only count ourselves, then I really have to admit that Sui You is probably the only one among us who can consistently eat vegetarian food and it doesn't matter much."
"Who says?" Ming Lou protested from the side, "Sui You is the only one who can be purely vegetarian. What about me? I'm also the only one among us who is purely carnivorous!"
Yue Zhiyin rolled his eyes at the sky, muttering to himself, you can't miss out on anything.
Ming Lou chuckled twice.
Sui You listened to their banter and teasing, and after thinking carefully, suddenly felt that she wasn't entirely vegetarian.
Occasionally, when Qi Yu gave them dried meat or shared snacks, some of the snacks were also made of meat, and she ate them without hesitation at the time.
Thinking of this, Sui You couldn't help but shake her head. In fact, apart from the jokes, she didn't really care whether everyone was purely carnivorous, purely vegetarian, or omnivorous.
After all, they were not monks, and what they ate would not affect their cultivation.
During this time, Ming Lou kept chatting with them, interjecting randomly.
But perhaps it was telepathy, he didn't know how, but he thought of the same question that Sui You had just complained about in her heart:
"Hey, you say we can eat anything, meat or vegetarian, it doesn't matter. What about those monks?"
Ming Lou asked this slightly absurd question with a very serious expression, "You say those monks only eat vegetarian food every day, nothing but vegetarian food, and they keep talking about asceticism and chanting Amitabha. I'm really curious, don't they crave it when they smell the aroma of those dishes?"
Ming Lou felt this question was important. Every time he went out on a mission and passed through the mortal world, if he smelled the aroma of roast chicken or other delicacies by the roadside, he would definitely drool.
But those ascetic monks didn't show any reaction when they smelled the aroma of meat.
Even when someone walked past them carrying meat, they didn't react, as if they couldn't smell the aroma.
Qi Yu also felt that this question was worth considering.
Unfortunately, there were no Buddhist disciples around them, so they couldn't know how Buddhist disciples or monks managed to remain indifferent to those fragrant meat dishes.
"There seem to be Buddhist disciples at Changqing Temple," Yue Zhiyin suddenly suggested. "If you're curious, why don't you go there for a visit? It's also a good opportunity to have some vegetarian food there. The vegetarian food at Changqing Temple has always been very famous."
Chi Ming was indeed quite curious about Changqing Temple, "Are the Buddhist disciples there good-looking?"
Qi Yan showed a look of disdain, "What's the point if Buddhist disciples are good-looking? Even if they are good-looking, they are not yours, and you two can't get married."
"So what's the point of whether Buddhist disciples are handsome or not?"
"Hey, you have a point. You can see them but can't have them." Chi Ming rested his chin on his hand and sighed.
Qi Yu said slowly from the side, "I heard that the Buddhist disciple at Changqing Temple is very handsome, and he seems to have been from the royal family, but for some reason, he became a monk. His cultivation is quite high now."
Si Qing scoffed at this, "No matter how handsome he is, he's still a bald monk. Is there any need to praise him to this extent? How handsome can he be? I don't believe it. Let's go to Changqing Temple and see."
...
Changqing Temple, main entrance.
A monk wearing a blue kasaya and holding a string of prayer beads stood there, speaking softly to the pilgrims who came to offer incense.
This monk looked very young, perhaps in his early twenties. A group of female pilgrims surrounded him.
Qi Yu sat on a cloud not far away, squinting and pointing at the monk, "That's Changqing Temple. Although we haven't been inside to look around, and we don't know what the Buddhist disciples inside look like, I can be sure that the one at the entrance wearing the blue kasaya is definitely the Buddhist disciple we were talking about."
Chi Shangming also couldn't help but nod.
Although they hadn't seen all the monks at Changqing Temple, among the few monks they had seen so far, this monk in the blue kasaya was indeed the most handsome.
Wang Lanqing kept craning her neck, "The Buddhist disciple is so handsome. It feels different from Si Qing's handsomeness. This Buddhist disciple's handsomeness is very gentle, giving people a sense of enchantment."
She said this while resting her chin on her hands.
Chi Ming leaned beside her, also with a sigh, "Can Buddhist disciples really not have a Taoist companion?"
Yue Zhiyin silently looked at Chi Ming.
Sui You and Qi Nian also looked at Chi Ming together.
Chi Ming felt their gaze and couldn't help but turn his head, "What are you looking at me like that for? I'm just asking casually. I don't have any intention of defiling the Buddhist disciple."
