Chapter 690: The Divine Technique for Earning Merit

Mom, I'm fine!

Liu Dongzhu shook her head and explained, "I and Ping'an just fell asleep listening to that fairy maiden play the Lullaby, and Ping'an still hasn't woken up!"

At this moment.

She could be considered fully awake now, able to clearly feel that her body and Spirit Power seemed to have received a slight boost, not very noticeable; if she didn't pay close attention, she would hardly notice it. Without even thinking, this kind of benefit is very likely the advantage brought by Feng Yanrong's earlier playing of the Lullaby.

"Lullaby?"

Zhang Guihua's face was full of strangeness; she also knew this tune, but she never imagined that a maiden like a fairy maiden would actually play such a melody, and she asked curiously:

"Right, Dongzhu, just now outside, what were that fairy maiden and Xuanqing Daozhang talking about?"

Initially.

She was worried that the person knocking on the door was very likely someone sent by that beast's new wife, intending to harm her family's Ping'an and Dongzhu's lives; if it weren't for this Ping'an child, who ran off like a madman toward the outside of Kumu Guan, she would have prepared to hide Ping'an and Dongzhu safely, not to mention the ghosts chasing after, even she was prepared to give chase.

Even if Liu Dongzhu spoke up and didn't let her follow, she was afraid that it really was someone sent by that beast's new wife, and once they took action, they would harm her.

She is already quite old; many people her age have gone to report to the Yama King, she has completely disregarded death, and the only thing she cares about is her precious grandson.

Therefore.

If the person knocking at the door outside is a villain sent by that beast's new wife to harm Ping'an and Dongzhu's lives, she would even risk her old life to protect Ping'an and Dongzhu.

Just as she was about to follow, she saw the person appearing outside Kumu Guan: not the ferocious, weapon-wielding villain she had imagined, but a maiden like a fairy maiden; she then breathed a sigh of relief, stayed here, and Wang Lin, who had run to the door, also turned back.

However.

When she saw Wang Ping'an and Liu Dongzhu collapse one after another onto the ground, her heart, which had just been let down, rose to her throat again; she was about to rush out to protect her family's Ping'an and Dongzhu, but Wang Lin timely embraced her and said many things, the most of which was that Xuanqing Daozhang was there.

If that maiden who looks like a fairy maiden dared to harm her family's Ping'an and Dongzhu's lives, Xuanqing Daozhang would certainly protect them first and not let them be injured; if she rashly rushed over, she would likely be of no help and only cause trouble.

Only then did she stop the thought of rushing up to protect her family's Ping'an and Dongzhu.

But.

Although Wang Lin's words somewhat convinced her, her gaze toward her family's Ping'an and Dongzhu was full of tension and worry, fearing that something bad might happen to her family's Ping'an and Dongzhu, especially when she saw Dongzhu hugging Ping'an as they walked over, her whole body felt a sense of weakness.

If it weren't for Wang Lin supporting her, she might have already collapsed like a puddle of mud on the ground, unable even to step forward to greet her family's Dongzhu.

Upon hearing her family's Dongzhu say that Ping'an was fine, she gradually recovered.

"Mom, you don't know, that fairy maiden just now was praising our family's Ping'an, saying our family's Ping'an is born to be a musician."

Liu Dongzhu recounted what had just happened without embellishment, though her face was full of pride that could hardly be concealed.

A single compliment to her family's Ping'an made her happier than a hundred compliments to herself.

"My mom really, is it just being praised a few words that's worth being so happy? Can't you learn from me and stay low-key?" Wang Ping'an listened to his old mother's nonstop chatter; the smile on his face bloomed like flowers, hard to hide, he hummed in dissatisfaction, but if one looked closely, they could still see a hint of pride on his face, and before he could indulge in it too long, a series of mechanical, cold voices sounded in his mind.

"Ding! By using the Divine Technique 'Persuade to do good' to change the wicked person 'Zhang Guilian' who gave porridge to help a starving beggar, congratulations on earning the reward: Merit +1!"

"Ding! By using the Divine Technique 'Persuade to do good' to change the wicked person 'Zhang Guilian' who gave porridge to help a starving beggar, congratulations on earning the reward: Merit +1!"

"Ding! By using the Divine Technique 'Persuade to do good' to change the wicked person 'Zhang Guilian' who gave porridge to help a starving beggar, congratulations on earning the reward: Merit +1!"

……

"Really, there are Merit rewards?"

Wang Ping'an's face showed unrestrained excitement; not long ago, he obtained this Divine Technique at the Mountain God Temple, preparing to use it on Zhang Guilian, he had once thought: relying on this Divine Technique to turn Zhang Guilian into a good person, letting her do more good deeds, could he also earn Merit rewards?

He guessed it would definitely happen!

But after so long, he had not received any system notification; he didn't believe his Divine Technique: Persuade to do good had failed, so there was only one possibility: he couldn't use the Divine Technique: Persuade to do good to change Zhang Guilian this wicked woman, while she did good deeds, he could also earn Merit rewards.

Having reached this conclusion, although he was a bit disappointed, he didn't mind it much; at most he would consider abandoning this Divine Technique.

Who let him have many ways to earn Merit; if this method fails, it fails, for him it's not a big impact.

Furthermore.

If an evil person has done all kinds of wicked deeds and cannot use this Divine Technique: Persuade to do good to help him earn Merit, then such an evil person has no need to exist in the world.

After all.

The most disgusting thing he said in his previous life was "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha instantly!"

He doesn't know whether putting down the butcher's knife can let one become a Buddha instantly, but he knows that those who die at the hands of these wicked people are all innocent, have not received forgiveness from those innocent people, so on what grounds can one become a Buddha instantly? What he wants to do is send them to meet the Buddha ancestor and see if the Buddha ancestor is willing to forgive them.

As for Zhang Guilian...

If it weren't for his grandmother's second sister, although his grandmother and Zhang Guilian were not on good terms in the Zhang family, there is also a saying that blood is thicker than water; he dare not gamble, for killing Zhang Guilian might make his grandmother happy or upset, and therefore he let Zhang Guilian and the Du family father and son go.

Who would have thought.

His conclusion about the Divine Technique: Persuade to do good was wrong; by relying on this Divine Technique: Persuade to do good to let others do good deeds, he too could earn Merit.

"Looks like there's another way to earn Merit!"

Wang Ping'an gave a hehe laugh, but he hadn't been happy for long; it seemed he thought of something, his face inevitably showed a troubled expression, and he secretly thought: "Just because these wicked people have done all kinds of evil, what gives me the right to easily spare them, merely because I want to earn Merit?"
