Chapter 506: Drop the Butcher Knife

Xiaosuisui held her head, the entirety of it buried within Ji Youcheng’s embrace, whimpering in agony.

Ji Youcheng himself could barely handle the sound of the Buddhist monks’ wooden fish, yet he steeled himself to cover Xiaosuisui’s ears.

However, it was futile.

At the same time, those in the Courtyard, including Huo Xing’Er, likewise covered their ears. Realizing it was to no avail, they cradled their heads and groaned.

"Amitabha, your suffering is extreme. Hence, you need the universal illumination of our Buddhist chant. Only when you understand our compassion can it stop. Will you, Benefactor, surrender your butcher’s knife and convert to Buddhism for the sake of all beings?"

The soft voice of Master Liao Kong echoed in everyone’s ears, prompting them to surrender their butcher’s knives and convert to Buddhism.

Even Huo Xing’Er, a genuine Daoist Sect disciple, almost had her heart purified by it.

Lady Ji cradled her head, murmuring faintly, "Kill... kill... purge the world..."

Ji Youze and Ji Youran were also cradling their heads and mumbling. Their Power was not as profound as Huo Xing’Er’s. As they listened to the Buddhist chant, their headaches lasted only a short while. Amid the TOK, TOK, TOK of the wooden fish, a Great Majestic Hall seemed to appear before their eyes, with the Tathagata Buddha showing mercy to all beings enthroned within!

They gazed upon the Buddha’s likeness, feeling an instantaneous urge to kneel and kowtow. The moment this thought crossed their minds, their knees began to bend slightly. They had the impression of being born to convert to Buddhism, enlighten all beings, and save the world!

Huo Xing’Er saw how Ji Youze and Ji Youran were behaving.

She was greatly worried. The fact that they were so quick to kneel showed that the Buddhist chant had affected their state of mind.

Only those with a Buddha-like nature, with hearts devoted to all beings, could be affected in this way!

Huo Xing’Er’s mind buzzed.

It was okay if Ji Youze had such compassion for all beings, but why Ji Youran, too? He was merely a Doctor, and he didn’t even treat everyone; he saw patients as it pleased him...

She bit her tongue hard. The pain stimulated her nerves, giving her the strength to resist the Buddhist chant. With a wave of her hand, a small jingle bell appeared in her palm.

She gently shook the bell, its JINGLE, JINGLE, JINGLE sound ringing out.

Ji Youze and Ji Youran groggily opened their eyes; the Great Majestic Hall before them had disappeared. Their knees were barely two fingers’ distance from the ground.

The two stood up in alarm, their faces pale.

Outside, Xiaosuisui and Ji Youcheng could no longer stand it either. They had leaped down from the wall. Ji Youcheng’s knees were gradually bending, while Xiaosuisui was rolling about in his arms!

The sound of the jingle bell echoed in their ears, giving them a moment of clarity. Listening to the bell, Xiaosuisui thought of something and immediately contacted Ah Ling.

"Ah Ling! Can you pull this monk into the Dream Realm?"

"I can’t! I haven’t recovered my abilities," Ah Ling responded.

Her Master was in danger. Even Ah Ling, who had been focused on her cultivation, was startled awake by Xiaosuisui’s inquiry.

However, since her Master herself hadn’t entered the Dream Realm, and they didn’t have the monk’s blood or hair, they could not pull him into the Dream Realm.

Xiaosuisui held her head tightly, listening to the Abbot repeatedly chanting Buddha’s name and saying, "Surrender the butcher’s knife and convert to Buddhism; the Buddhist Dharma is vast, and repentance is not too late." She felt both repulsed and powerless.

"AH..." Xiaosuisui’s head throbbed in agony.

She felt as if every breath she struggled to hold was an insult to the Buddhist Dharma.

She even started to have the genuine desire to surrender her butcher’s knife and convert to Buddhism!
