Chapter 502

Under normal circumstances, Abbess Jueqing's Buddhist heart should have been completely shattered by now.

As a person of the Buddhist faith, knowing she was breaking the precepts and still eating the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," her Buddhist heart would definitely be affected.

It was like a sword cultivator; if one day they no longer believed in the sword in their hand, their sword heart would undoubtedly shatter instantly.

But now, because of the Flawless Heart, Abbess Jueqing's Buddhist heart was actually protected.

Until Hong Zun and the others stared with wide eyes. *This shouldn't be happening. Why would the Abbess have a Flawless Heart? *

They had calculated everything, but they never expected Abbess Jueqing to possess a Flawless Heart. This really caught everyone off guard.

Having eaten the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" as if possessed, Abbess Jueqing came to her senses, her expression complex, and she put her hands together.

"Amitabha, a sin, a sin."

*Sin your mother! Why didn't your Buddhist heart break? *

Until Hong Zun was so angry he wanted to curse. Was even "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" useless? However, having tried for so long, he didn't want to give up just like that, and he said to Abbess Jueqing with a smile.

"Abbess, you just broke the precepts, didn't you?"

*I don't believe it. Today, your Buddhist heart will not be able to be preserved. *

Touching a sore spot, hearing Until Hong Zun's words, Abbess Jueqing's expression changed, but she still pretended to be calm.

"Fellow Daoist Until Hong Zun, your words are incorrect. As the saying goes, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart.' Although this poor nun ate meat, there is no meat in my heart, so it does not count as eating."

Hm???

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun was stunned. There was such a saying?

*Bullshit "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart." Does the Buddhist faith have such a saying? *

"Abbess, the Buddhist faith forbids killing..."

"Yes, but this wasn't killed by this poor nun, so what does it have to do with me?"

Good heavens, Until Hong Zun had completely lost his temper. Could it be explained like this? *But you clearly ate it! *

His gaze involuntarily looked toward her heart; the Flawless Heart was still emitting a faint light. Could this also be an effect of the Flawless Heart?

As they were speaking, a rich Buddhist light suddenly emerged from Abbess Jueqing's body, pure and gentle.

Seeing this scene, Until Hong Zun was completely dumbfounded.

Not just him, but Ye Changqing, Qingshi, Fairy Baihua, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and even Xiuling were all shocked.

"She... she broke through..."

Shi Song muttered, his mouth hanging open.

This was clearly the sign of a cultivation technique breakthrough. *This is truly fucked up. *

They invited the Abbess to eat "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," and not only did her Buddhist heart not break, but how the hell did her cultivation technique break through?

One had to know that Buddhist cultivation techniques focused most on one's state of mind. How could she break through while breaking the precepts? What was the meaning of this?

Abbess Jueqing, at this moment, had her eyes tightly closed. Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, she appeared noble and holy, truly like a living Buddha descending into the world.

Shi Song's eyes were bloodshot.

After a long while, under the incredulous gaze of everyone, the Buddhist light slowly receded. Abbess Jueqing opened her eyes again, looked at Until Hong Zun and the others, and thanked them with a smile.

"Many thanks for your help, Fellow Daoist."

Hm???

Hearing this, Until Hong Zun's mouth twitched. *Help your mother! I fed you meat, and you thank me? Are you still a monastic? *

"What does the Abbess mean by this?"

Until Hong Zun couldn't figure out why she was able to break through. To this, Abbess Jueqing explained with a smile.

"It is precisely because the Fellow Daoist fed this poor nun meat."

*Listen, do you hear what this old nun is saying? It's precisely because I fed her meat that she broke through? *

Until Hong Zun expressed that he couldn't understand, while Abbess Jueqing continued.

"The so-called precepts should not be confined to the surface, nor should they exist only externally. Instead, they must come from the heart—to identify with and observe the precepts from the bottom of one's heart. Only then is it the original intention of our Buddhist precepts."

"The Fellow Daoist invited this poor nun to eat meat, and this poor nun refused because of the precepts. This cannot be considered truly observing the precepts. On the contrary, even if this poor nun ate this meat, there was no meat in my heart. This is the true observance of the precepts."

Until Hong Zun was truly defeated. The development of events was completely different from what he had imagined.

The "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" was eaten, but the Abbess was completely unaffected, and she had even broken through, allowing her understanding of Buddhist Dharma to reach a higher level.

Just listen to the Abbess's words now; they were simply unheard of.

In the end, after the meal, the goal hadn't been achieved at all, and the Abbess and Xiuling left in satisfaction.

Even as she was leaving, the Abbess said to Until Hong Zun with a smile.

"The Dao Yi Sect is worthy of being the leader of the Eastern Continent; even the food is so delicious. I wonder if this poor nun may come to dine at your sect often in the future?"

*Listen, just listen. She's addicted to eating now, and she doesn't care about Buddhist precepts at all? *

His heart was extremely depressed, but on the surface, Until Hong Zun still smiled.

"That is certainly possible."

"Then many thanks, Fellow Daoist."

The Abbess left, while Shi Song seemed to have lost his soul. Returning to secular life hadn't succeeded, the Buddhist heart hadn't broken, and it had even allowed the Abbess to make further progress.

Lost and dejected, he returned to the kitchen. Shi Song sat alone in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Until Hong Zun and the others stepped forward to comfort him.

"Senior Brother, it's nothing. At worst, next time we..."

As he was speaking, Shi Song suddenly spoke up, interrupting him directly.

"I've decided."

"Decided what?"

He was confused, and then he saw Shi Song suddenly look up, his eyes bloodshot, with an expression of being ready to face death.

"Since there's no way to make the Abbess return to secular life, then I can only go with the Abbess."

"Hm???"

"I'll do it tonight."

"Hm???"

"First kill her, and then I'll commit suicide."

"Hm???"

"Junior Brother, I trouble you: after the Abbess and I die, bury us in the same coffin. Since we cannot be together while alive, then we shall sleep together in death."

"Hm???"

It was getting more and more outrageous. Especially as he spoke, Shi Song suddenly stood up, looking as if he was about to act right now.

Seeing this, Until Hong Zun was quick-witted and grabbed Shi Song.

"Senior Brother, calm down, please calm down. Things haven't reached that point yet."

"Junior Brother, let go! I must be with the Abbess!" ===== CHAPTER 503 =====
