Chapter 506: Sitting and discussing the Dao

"Junior Sister Baihua, Senior Brother will show you something good."

"What thing?"

"The genealogy of our old Shi family."

"Brother Tianzhen, I'll show you something good."

"What thing?"

"The genealogy of our old Shi family."

"Kid Changqing, I'll show you something good."

All morning, Shi Song was holding that genealogy, showing it off to everyone he saw. Ye Changqing and the others were all left with black lines on their heads by him.

*It's not like there's even a start to this, and you've already written the genealogy. Isn't it a bit too impatient? *

At breakfast time, seeing Abbess Jueqing, Shi Song instantly wilted, looking coy and shy.

Until Hong Zun and the others could only shake their heads in speechlessness.

Breakfast was simple: steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks, but the taste was still something everyone praised endlessly.

After breakfast, the Abbess, as before, took the initiative to help Shi Song wash the bowls. However, when passing by Zhang Tianzhen, the Abbess asked casually.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, does this poor nun need to help you wash the bowls?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tianzhen was stunned. He didn't think much of it and nodded in thanks quite naturally.

"Then I'll trouble the Abbess."

But just as his voice fell, a heart-trembling aura came from behind. Following the aura, he saw Shi Song appear not far away, staring fixedly at Zhang Tianzhen with a dark face.

He swallowed his saliva. *How could I forget this? The current Shi Song is a proper yandere; he gets jealous if anyone says a word more to the Abbess, let alone letting the Abbess wash the bowls. *

After all, in Shi Song's eyes, washing bowls was a major event equivalent to deciding one's life.

If he, Zhang Tianzhen, dared to let the Abbess help him wash the bowls, Shi Song would definitely dare to fight him to the death.

The words he had already spoken were instantly retracted.

"Trouble the Abbess? No, it's just a small matter; I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, he didn't care about Abbess Jueqing and turned to leave directly. *It's really going to cost me my life. *

Seeing this, Shi Song nodded in satisfaction and returned to that shy expression. Even when Abbess Jueqing looked over, he gave a shy smile.

"I feel like Senior Brother's condition is getting more and more serious."

"What can we do? I estimate that even Junior Brother Seeing Mu You has no way."

On the side, Until Hong Zun, Qingshi, and Fairy Baihua looked at Shi Song and said with worry. The yandere condition was becoming increasingly serious.

"No matter what, stay further away from the Abbess in the future. Yesterday, he almost fought me to the death."

Qingshi said helplessly on the side.

After breakfast, because today was the day Abbess Jueqing would lecture on scriptures, a high platform had already been built on the square in the Imperial Capital.

As the time arrived, Abbess Jueqing brought a group of Kumu Nunnery disciples onto the platform and began to lecture on scriptures.

The Dao Yi Sect members didn't come; after all, no one was interested in Buddhist scriptures, except for Shi Song, who went secretly. The others stayed at the encampment to rest or went to the city to stroll around.

On the high platform, Abbess Jueqing lectured on the Buddhist scriptures unhurriedly.

However, when she reached the Buddhist precepts, the Buddhist believers below frowned. *Something is a bit wrong here. *

"The so-called precepts are not for us to keep on our lips, but for us to keep in our hearts."

"The so-called breaking of precepts cannot be limited to the surface. For example, this chicken leg—this poor nun ate it. Can it be considered breaking the precepts?"

"Perhaps you indeed saw this poor nun eat this chicken leg, but in reality, in this poor nun's heart, there is no chicken leg, so eating it does not count as breaking the precepts."

Hm???

The more they listened, the more wrong it felt. The Buddhist believers below were all confused. *Eating meat doesn't count as breaking the precepts? *

Ordinary people were a bit bewildered, but in the crowd, there were also some Buddhist cultivators. They looked at Abbess Jueqing on the high platform, and a cold intent had already emerged in their eyes.

An old monk even shouted loudly.

"Utterly absurd! Abbess Jueqing, how can you distort Buddhist principles like this and still be worthy of lecturing here?"

This old monk was none other than the Abbot of Jin Shansi. He had also come to listen, but at this moment, he completely could not agree with Abbess Jueqing's fallacies.

Eating meat is eating meat, breaking precepts is breaking precepts. *What "ate it with the mouth but not in the heart"—this is all crooked logic, a distortion of the Buddhist scriptures. *

Facing the angry shout of the Abbot of Jin Shansi, Abbess Jueqing was unhurried. She even bit into the chicken leg in public and ate it with a look of satisfaction.

Seeing this, the Abbot of Jin Shansi was even more furious.

"Jueqing, you... how dare you! As a high monk of the Buddhist faith, how can you do such a thing?"

"Look, this is your misunderstanding of the Buddhist scriptures. Just like this chicken leg, although you say you don't eat it with your mouth, in reality, you want to eat it in your heart. Your heart and mouth are not in agreement."

"And me? Although I ate this chicken leg, there is no chicken leg in my heart. As the saying goes, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart.' How can this be considered breaking the precepts?"

"You, you, you..."

Being rendered speechless by Abbess Jueqing's words, he stood on the spot, furious in his heart but completely unable to find a reason to refute.

Finally, the Abbot of Jin Shansi could only grit his teeth and say.

"Nonsense! Jueqing, this is a fallacy, it's sophistry."

"Since you say this is sophistry, then please, high monk, provide a reason to persuade this poor nun."

"I..."

The Abbot of Jin Shansi couldn't argue with Abbess Jueqing at all. Even when Abbess Jueqing spoke, a rich Buddhist light emerged from her body.

That Buddhist light was extremely pure, supreme in kindness and sincerity; it was the purest Buddhist light of the Buddhist faith.

Looking at the Buddhist light around Abbess Jueqing, the Abbot of Jin Shansi stood frozen in disbelief.

*Why, why does this old nun who eats meat have such pure Buddhist light? Why... *

Not only him, but the monk Master Jueyuan on the side also frowned.

*This Jueqing is a bit strange today. It seems like something has changed. And such things as eating meat and breaking precepts, if placed in the past, would have been absolutely impossible to happen to Abbess Jueqing. *

Her observance of Buddhist precepts was one of the strictest Master Jueyuan had ever seen.

But today, not only did this old nun eat meat in public, but her Buddhist heart didn't seem to have been affected in the slightest.

Staring fixedly at Abbess Jueqing, suddenly, Master Jueyuan thought of the Flawless Heart.

*That's it, it must be the Flawless Heart. If it weren't for the Flawless Heart, this old nun would have shattered her Buddhist heart into pieces after breaking the precepts like this. *

For a time, Master Jueyuan became even more eager for the Flawless Heart. *I must obtain it; the Flawless Heart can only be mine. *

As for why Abbess Jueqing would openly eat meat, Master Jueyuan didn't care at all; he only wanted the Flawless Heart.

Master Jueyuan stared fixedly at Abbess Jueqing, unaware that in the dark, a pair of eyes had locked onto him and the Abbot of Jin Shansi.

Hidden in the crowd, Shi Song stared coldly at the Abbot of Jin Shansi, cold light flickering in his eyes.

"Old monk, you actually dare to speak to the Abbess like that. You're dead."

Thinking this, he turned his gaze to Master Jueyuan on the side, also filled with chilling intent.

Although Master Jueyuan didn't say anything, he kept staring at Abbess Jueqing with eyes full of heat. *This person must have evil intentions in his heart; he's not a good thing either, and he deserves to die just the same. *

Unknowingly, Master Jueyuan and the Abbot of Jin Shansi had been targeted by a yandere. ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
