Chapter 327
No matter what Jueyuan said, Juexin and the others simply wouldn't believe him.
After all, you don't care about them, so why are you still hanging your Divine Sense on that nun's body in the middle of the night?
Moreover, that nun's Buddha Heart is shattered—what do you mean by being so anxious?
Jueyuan was so anxious he jumped up and down, but he just couldn't bring himself to speak of the flawless heart matter.
In the end he could only choose to remain silent; seeing this, Juexin earnestly advised him.
"Junior brother, hear me out—don't provoke the Ruthless Nun anymore, and definitely don't provoke the Dao Yi Sect."
"Look at today's matter—it's obvious you brought this on yourself."
"Senior brother, I................"
"Alright, this ends here. You all remember: don't provoke the Dao Yi Sect again, don't cause trouble, stay calm and peaceful, and make it through the Myriad Buddha Festival smoothly—okay?"
Juexin was indeed feeling tired; hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Juexin then waved his hand, indicating everyone should go their separate ways.
Watching Jueyuan limp out of the hall, Juexin sighed, "Our Buddhist gate ought to be a pure land—please, don't stir up trouble anymore."
Last night's battle didn't cause any serious consequences, except for Jueyuan getting a sound beating.
The next morning, the Dao Yi Sect went about its business as usual; at breakfast time, there was still fierce competition.
Especially today, they were serving two new dishes: Spicy Lamb Soup and Meat Sandwich.
Every time Ye Zhangqing prepares a new dish, the competition becomes especially fierce, as everyone wants to be the first to try the crab.
Moreover, while the Spicy Lamb Soup is being simmered, its aroma is incredibly inviting.
Made with mutton, pepper, chili, mutton bone broth, gluten, flour, starch noodles, wood ear, plus various spices and medicinal herbs, it's not complicated, but the flavor is absolutely overbearing.
【Spicy Lamb Soup, with a rich, pungent aroma of medicinal herbs and mutton, the broth is thick and smooth on the palate, the mutton and gluten have a good bite, the spiciness is just right, currently rated as superior, with the effects of refreshing the mind and invigorating the blood.】
【Meat Sandwich, the cured meat is glossy red and tender, soft and fragrant, fatty yet not greasy, paired with hot bread, endlessly delicious, currently rated as superior, with the effect of enhancing cultivation.】
In one breakfast, Ye Zhangqing simply rolled out two new dishes—you can imagine how fierce the competition was.
But the final result was somewhat unexpected: Xiu Ling actually managed to snag a spot, defeating a steward of Jade Maiden Peak and successfully becoming a member of the Big Eating Army.
At that moment, the Jade Maiden Peak steward she had defeated was looking at her resentfully.
"This woman's tactics are truly dirty."
"Steward, what do you mean by that?"
"She's a nun, yet she actually used the Dragon Claw Hand............."
Blushing, he said this; hearing it, the many disciples around were stunned, then unconsciously turned their gazes toward that steward's.................
"Cough cough, it's indeed not very glorious."
"It doesn't do much damage, but it's extremely embarrassing—and yet this is a move a nun actually used."
"But for Xiu Ling, after her Buddha Heart was recast, she no longer cares about such things; all I want is to eat a bite of rice—what's wrong with that?"
Following behind the crowd, she finally got to eat that long‑awaited meal, and it was a new dish besides—Xiu Ling's eyes shone with excitement.
After biting into the meat sandwich, the little girl almost cried, it's really delicious.
Paired with a mouthful of Spicy Lamb Soup, that overbearing flavor made Xiu Ling feel everything was worth it.
"The Dragon Claw Hand must be cultivated to perfection."
"Before, I had never cultivated the Dragon Claw Hand, after all this technique is low‑ranked, not to mention its target area is hard to speak of."
"But now, Xiu Ling feels the Dragon Claw Hand truly is a divine technique—a divine technique for eating."
The disciples who secured a spot ate to their heart's content, while those outside the courtyard frantically inhaled the aroma—it was fragrant, truly fragrant, the Spicy Lamb Soup's smell was stronger than ever.
But just as everyone was busy eating, suddenly a series of cracking sounds rang out.
Having just finished a meat sandwich, Xu Jie looked toward the Withered Wood Hermitage disciples outside and laughed.
"Whose Buddha Heart broke again?"
As for that, the little nuns exchanged glances and shook their heads doubtfully.
No, we haven't broken yet, we're not ready yet.
Huh???
Hearing this, Xu Jie felt somewhat puzzled. 'Not these little nuns? It couldn't be disciples of our Dao Yi Sect, could it?'
He immediately asked the people around him.
'Who's Dao heart broke? Don't joke, quickly steady it.'
After asking around, he found no sign of anyone's Dao heart breaking, yet the cracking sound continued.
This is really strange.
'Third Shī xiōng, it sounds like it's coming from outside the courtyard.'
'Outside? The bald donkey from Putuo Temple?'
Some found it hard to believe, but that's the fact: at this moment, outside the Dao Yi Sect's station, the Putuo Temple disciples tasked with monitoring.
At least over a hundred people had cracks appear in their Buddha hearts; it started with just one or two, but soon it spread like a plague.
Watching disciple after disciple's Buddha heart shatter, the leading Elder went dumb.
'Hold on, what the hell are you doing? Hold onto your Buddha heart.'
But regarding this, the disciples just kept muttering.
'The fragrance, it's so fragrant, I can't hold back.'
'Withered Wood Hermitage are also Fomen disciples, we are also Fomen disciples—why can they eat but we cannot?'
'That's right, Withered Wood Hermitage can eat, I can eat too.'
While saying this, their Buddha hearts were wildly shattering, about to collapse.
Seeing this, that Elder was at a loss; moreover, not to mention those disciples, facing that fragrance, he could hardly restrain himself.
Hurry, hurry go invite the abbot.
Gritting his teeth, he told the disciples resting in the distance, they are far away, so the impact is not great.
Seeing this, those disciples also dared not delay, immediately running toward the main hall.
Early in the morning, after just finishing a day of Xiūliàn, Juéxīn's mood had already returned to calm.
Last night's affair wasn't anything major, except that Juéyuǎn got a sound beating.
Now Juéxīn only hopes the Dao Yi Sect can be a little quieter, steadily letting the Ten Thousand Buddha Assembly pass safely; that's enough, he no longer hopes for anything else.
But even such a small wish, heaven seems unwilling to grant him.
Before he could catch his breath, a disciple came rushing to report.
"Abbot, abbot, something serious has happened, a major incident has occurred!"
Huh???
Hearing this, Juéxīn's brows instantly knit tight— a major incident? What major incident? First thing in the morning and this happens?
Just thinking whether he could have a few days of peace, and damn it, something happens again?
"What's wrong?"
"It's broken, the Buddha Heart is broken."
"What Buddha Heart is broken?"
This disciple was also anxious, unable to explain clearly for a while; the more Juéxīn listened, the more displeased he became, and he spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"Is it the Buddha Heart of Juéqíng Shītài that's broken? This old monk knows; I'll go visit later."
"No, abbot, it's the Buddha Heart of the senior brothers that's broken— all of them."
