Chapter 328: You all go back

~7 min read 1,213 words

The Buddha-heart is broken?

Hearing this disciple's words, Juexin was stunned; how could a perfectly fine Buddha-heart break?

"What's going on?"

"It's just that they saw the Dao Yi Sect disciples eating..."

"Seeing others eat makes the Buddha-heart break? Are you teasing this old monk?"

It's just a joke; if it breaks so easily, then the Putuo Temple disciples are too fragile.

Juexin only felt it was nonsense, and this disciple also didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Indeed, that's exactly the case.

Seeing the anxious disciple, Juexin calmed himself and asked irritably.

"Whose Buddha-heart is broken?"

In Juexin's view, such a fool doesn't deserve to be a Putuo Temple disciple; he wanted to see whose Buddha-heart would shatter over a meal.

But regarding this, the disciple stammered.

"Many... many senior brothers' Buddha-hearts are broken."

"Many? How many?"

"Several hundred, maybe."

"Several hundred, hum, really hopeless... what did you say?"

I thought at most one or two would be like that, but who would have expected that several hundred disciples' Buddha-hearts would have problems.

This left Juexin stunned on the spot; are you joking?

Without hesitation, he flashed and rushed straight to the Dao Yi Sect's base; with several hundred disciples' Buddha-hearts shattering simultaneously, it's no longer a minor issue.

Damn, the Dao Yi Sect is truly toxic; just a few days at Putuo Temple and he already feels overwhelmed.

Juexin rushed over quickly; at the same time, outside the Dao Yi Sect's lodging, noticing that the Putuo Temple disciples outside had shattered Buddha-hearts, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, and the other disciples curiously held their bowls and came out.

This thus created the current scene.

Dao Yi Sect disciples sat in a row, eating breakfast while watching with interest as the Putuo Temple disciples' Buddha-hearts shattered.

It was already hard to bear; now seeing Dao Yi Sect disciples feasting right before them, the Putuo Temple disciples could no longer endure.

The speed of the Buddha-heart shattering increased even more.

Even some disciples who could previously hold on now showed signs of unstable Buddha-hearts.

Even the leading elder had cracks appearing on his Buddha-heart.

"Tsk tsk, these Putuo Temple disciples' cultivation is no good; how can their Buddha-hearts break so easily?"

"Or perhaps their usual Buddhist practice is insufficient."

"But it's fine if they break; didn't Junior Sister Xiuling invent a method to reforge the Buddha-heart? Then just reforge one and it's done."

"Yeah."

"Senior brother, give me a bite of your flatbread."

"Get lost."

The Dao Yi Sect disciples watched with relish, while many Putuo Temple disciples stared longingly, also wanting a bite.

"So that's called spicy soup."

"Give me... give me a sip."

"Junior brother, hold on."

"Hold on your sister, your own Buddha-heart is broken too—how dare you say that?"

"Just one bite, I'll eat one bite; give me a bite of the meat-filled flatbread, give me..."

Violent spiritual energy surged all around; just then, Juexin finally arrived.

But when he saw this scene before him, Juexin's eyes almost burst with rage.

A large group of Putuo Temple disciples—damn, each of their Buddha-hearts had collapsed.

"What are you doing?"

Looking at these disciples, staring with longing and drooling at the Dao Yi Sect disciples, Juexin roared.

"The abbot has arrived."

"Come if you want; I just want a mouthful of spicy soup now."

"Even if I die, I still want to bite into a meat-filled flatbread."

Normally, when the abbot Juexin arrives, the disciples would surely show respect, but now many of them ignore him completely.

Their gaze remains fixed on the Dao Yi Sect disciples' spicy soup and meat-filled flatbread.

Seeing no one pay attention to him, Juexin's mouth twitched; he flashed and appeared before one of the disciples.

He placed a hand on the disciple's head and coldly shouted.

"Calm the mind and focus the spirit."

This was to help the disciple stabilize his Buddha-heart, yet even so, the disciple kept muttering.

"Give me to eat, give me to eat, meat-filled flatbread, I want to eat meat-filled flatbread..."

"Stop eating, damn it; calm the mind and focus the spirit."

"I don't care; I just want to eat meat-filled flatbread."

"I..............."

Even though he personally helped stabilize the disciple's Buddha-heart, damn it, it was utterly useless; no matter how wildly Juexin's spiritual energy surged in, in the end it could not stop the disciple's Buddha-heart from shattering.

Not only him, but others were the same; as a Shèngjìng expert, Juexin could only watch helplessly as his disciples' Buddha-hearts shattered one by one.

"Eat eat eat, you damned lot, do you know nothing but eating all day?"

He angrily shouted, "Don't contend!" Just then, a nasty voice came over.

"Look, he's panicking, he's panicking, huh."

He turned his head and glared at Xu Jie; facing Juexin's angry stare, Xu Jie immediately shut his mouth. This old bald donkey's ears are still good—he can hear everything.

Looking at Xu Jie's nasty face, Juexin gritted his teeth until they made a clicking sound.

If he could act, he would love to slap him to death here.

"Can you guys go back first?"

His tone icy, furious, "You damn bastards don't know why my Putuo Temple disciples' Buddhist hearts are shattered?"

Still here, holding a bowl and watching the show.

In response, Xu Jie said plaintively.

"Abbot, we didn't do anything, right?"

"Can't we even just look?"

The Dao Yi Sect indeed didn't do anything; frankly, it's the Putuo Temple disciples' own problem.

We eat our meals; you yourselves shattered your Buddhist hearts—this can't be blamed on our Dao Yi Sect, can it?

But the more he said that, the more furious Juexin became, unable to hold back any longer as he shouted.

"Go back already."

The longer they stay here, the faster the Putuo Temple disciples' Buddhist hearts collapse; I'm begging you to go back quickly.

Seeing that Juexin's state of mind seemed about to snap, Zhao Zhengping, who was somewhat sensible, stood up and said.

"Let's go, head back first."

"Ah, if I were to say, this person should just go with the flow—people need iron rice and steel; miss a meal and you'll panic hungry. I don't know what the Fomen is thinking, not letting people eat meat."

"Exactly, how can someone not eating meat be acceptable? The Fomen's precepts ought to be changed."

"Get lost."

People chatted casually, and from behind came Juexin's furious mad cursing.

With red eyes, he stared at the departing Dao Yi Sect disciples; only after they had completely left did Juexin look toward the assembled Putuo Temple disciples before him.

He saw that by now, the Buddhist hearts of about three or four hundred people had completely shattered; as for the others, their Buddhist hearts showed varying degrees of cracks.

"What karma have we, Putuo Temple, created?"

"You damn lot were sent to spy on the Dao Yi Sect, but look at you—after just a few days, your own Buddhist hearts are gone first."

"I'm really fed up."

"All of you, get lost back to the main temple."

He shouted angrily, a disgraceful eyesore.

With Buddhist hearts shattered, he didn't know what to do; first let them rest, and as for Juexin, dragging his weary feelings, he came to the main temple hall.
