Chapter 264: Lead Her to Break the Precepts

Looking at Shi Song's already somewhat ferocious expression, Hong Zun opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Shī xiōng really has changed, ah; this nun seems to have drawn out something hidden deep in his soul.

What a sin.

Just as they were speaking, the sound of a meal being ready came from the front courtyard; the few people who had been frowning immediately rose and hurried to the front courtyard.

Even Shi Song had no hesitation; although his face remained sorrowful, eating was definitely not to be missed.

"Shī xiōng, do you still have an appetite?"

Just now he was crying his heart out, and now he's like this; Hong Zun asked with a puzzled face, but who knew Shi Song would reply unhappily.

"People are iron, rice is steel; miss a meal and you'll panic with hunger; no matter what, this meal must be eaten."

Today's meal is braised beef and spicy dry pot frog, with a big bowl full; looking at it, his appetite seems unaffected.

Though he's sad, he still can't skip a meal.

Seeing Shi Song wolfing down his food, Hong Zun and the others relaxed a bit; if he can still eat, that's fine—perhaps it's just a temporary excess of grief, and he'll be better in a couple days.

Just as they were thinking that, while eating, Shi Song harshly said.

"After I finish eating, I'll go find the nun; if I don't succeed, I'll become a martyr—either she returns to secular life, or we die together."

Huh???

Hearing that, the few people had a Black Line on their heads; damn, just a moment ago you were fine, eating is eating, why are you thinking about this?

There's not the slightest improvement, and it seems to be getting worse.

The disciples also gathered in small groups to eat; after finishing their meal, Shi Song washed the bowls and immediately rose, intending to go outside the courtyard.

Seeing this, Hong Zun and the others rushed forward to grab him, dragging him to the rear courtyard without a word.

"What are you doing? I need to go find the nun."

Good fellow, hearing that, Hong Zun quickly laughed.

"Shī xiōng, calm down; there are other ways to get the nun to return to secular life."

"What method?"

Shi Song doubted; Hong Zun racked his brains, and finally came up with an idea.

"Returning to secular life is equivalent to breaking the precepts; if we find a way for the nun to break her vows, that'll do."

As soon as he said that, Shi Song's eyes lit up.

"How to break it?"

"Well......... this............"

Figuring out how to make the nun break her precepts left Hong Zun at a loss; facing Shi Song's gaze, he too had no idea for a moment.

Just then Ye Zhangqing, Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, Xu Jie and the others walked in; seeing Ye Zhangqing at that moment, Hong Zun suddenly thought of something and immediately gritted his teeth and said.

"Eat."

"Eat?"

"Little Ye's cooking, eh? Shī xiōng, think about it—if the nun eats meat, does that count as breaking the precept? Since the abstinence from pungent foods can be broken, does that mean the chastity precept can also..............."

Hong Zun really went all out, even willing to bring out Ye Zhangqing's food—something he would never have dared to do before.

For Shi Song, he's sacrificed too much; if from now on his senior brother doesn't treat him a little better, that really wouldn't be justifiable.

He thought to himself; meanwhile, upon hearing this, Shi Song instantly felt energized.

"Little Ye's cooking? That's indeed a good idea—I don't believe the nun can hold out."

Immediately, Shi Song hurried over to Ye Zhangqing; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing looked puzzled.

"Elder, you................"

"Little Ye, this time I'm counting on you, old man."

Huh???

"Rely on me? Rely on me for what? Being told by Shi Song left me bewildered; in the end, everyone gathered around, and Hong Zun honestly explained his idea to Ye Zhangqing."

Just hearing that, Ye Zhangqing gave the old fellows a strange look.

"Damn, what are you doing to the nun? She's a monastic, and you're scheming against her like this?"

"This.......... probably isn't right, after all she's a monastic; wouldn't we............"

Ye Zhangqing spoke relatively tactfully, but before he could finish, Shi Song directly interrupted.

"Either the nun returns to secular life, or I'll die with her; anyway, the nun can only be mine."

Huh???

Not knowing Shi Song's change, upon hearing this Ye Zhangqing was dumbfounded—what the hell is going on?

Seeing this, Hong Zun pulled Ye Zhangqing aside and whispered.

"Little Ye, Shi Song couldn't bear the blow and has undergone a slight change."

"Yandere?"

Hong Zun nodded; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing was speechless—how the hell did he become a yandere.

"So, Little Ye, can you think of a way? Returning to secular life is better than dying together, and the Buddhist precepts are just nonsense—taking off your pants to fart, pointless."

"The nun is in her prime; it's a shame she entered the Buddhist gate, don't you think?"

After Hong Zun's persuasion, Ye Zhangqing listened, dazed.

Although I have no fondness for the Buddhist gate, whether before or after crossing over, it's always been that way.

A bunch of unproductive bald donkeys who just spout grand principles all day.

They talk about all four being empty, but if it were truly empty, how could there be a donation box?

The most outrageous thing is that damn many temples have red strings tied up; Ye Zhangqing has long wondered what those people who go to temples to pray for romance are thinking—you're basically bringing monks to wander the pleasure quarters.

They supposedly avoid women, yet they're supposed to understand romance?

So this Fomen practice often doesn't hold up under scrutiny—there are piles of strict rules, but upon closer thought, many aspects simply don't make sense.

Under Hong Zun's earnest gaze, Ye Zhangqing finally nodded.

"Then I'll try?"

"Good, I knew it—when it counts, I still have to rely on you, kid."

"Heh, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

"It's fine, I believe in you, kid; dealing with the nun's two moves is nothing more than a meal for you."

Hong Zun had absolute confidence in Ye Zhangqing, persuaded him, then went to placate Shi Song.

Damn it, Shī xiōng finds a woman, but in the end he's the one who's most exhausted—where can he even reason about this?

"How about it, junior brother?"

"The Peak Master wants me to think of a way to make the nun break her precepts."

Xu Jie and the others also gathered around Ye Zhangqing to ask, and Ye Zhangqing didn't hide anything.

Upon hearing this, several people had no objection at all, and even expressed strong approval.

"Sure, junior brother, doing this counts as a great deed—letting a beauty like the nun enter Fomen would truly be a waste."

"Exactly, junior brother, senior sister supports you—just get her, make her return to secular life."

Seeing everyone's high spirits, Ye Zhangqing wore a Black Line expression—no, how could you say that from your mouths, as if we were doing something good.

A surge of pride in saving the world welled up in his heart—what on earth is this?

On one side, the Dao Yi Sect was discussing how to make the nun return to secular life; on the other, at Golden Mountain Temple, Monk Jueyuan let out another burst of venting.

Again the Dao Yi Sect, and after suffering a major loss, Jueyuan's killing intent had reached its limit; if he weren't unable to win, he would definitely go and clash with Hong Zun—that damned old thing, repeatedly ruining his plans.
