"Master, quickly enter the Dream Realm!"
A sudden notion flashed in Xiaosuisuiâs mind, and Ah Lingâs voice rang in her ears.
She was overjoyed.
If I enter the Dream Realm, wouldnât that mean my six senses would be shut down? Could my shut senses still hear this damned sound of the wooden fish?
As soon as the idea flashed in her mind, Ah Ling promptly pulled her into the Dream Realm. Instantly, the "TAP TAP TAP" of the wooden fish from outside and the old monkâs voice demanding she achieve enlightenment on the spot vanished.
"Phew! I finally feel better." Xiaosuisui popped her head out of the water, shaking her small head. "Ah Ling, bring my maternal grandmother and the others in here!"
Ah Ling obeyed. Every member of the Ji Family was drawn into the Dream Realm without fail, because they had all held Xiaosuisui, and their scent had long since clung to her.
Only Huo XingâEr was left out. Because she and Xiaosuisui were blood relatives, she couldnât be drawn into the Dream Realm.
Once Xiaosuisui entered the Dream Realm, she became still. In an instant, she appeared as if she had fallen asleep.
The Abbot suddenly furrowed his brow.
Whatâs wrong with the Princess?
The result of the Buddhaâs sound cleansing should be conversion to Buddhism. Why did the Princess faint instead?
Yes, she fainted.
It would be one thing if she hadnât converted to Buddhism, but why are her eyes closed? Her body is motionless, yet her small chest still rises and falls...
"Suisui... wake up! You canât... you canât..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Youcheng also spread his hands helplessly and his body went limp; he collapsed and lost consciousness.
The Abbot stopped, incredulous, his eyes fixed on Ji Youcheng.
Whatâs happening?
Before he could understand what was happening, Huo XingâErâs loud cry of "Mother!" resonated from the Courtyard.
"Mother!"
Then came the old monkâs astonished, baffled, and accusatory words towards Huo XingâEr.
"What happened? Why did they all faint?" His gaze fixed on Huo XingâEr as he fiercely demanded, "What did you do to them?"
Hearing these words from Old Monk Liao Kong, the Abbot was panic-stricken. He hastily put away his wooden fish Dharma treasure and quickly walked into the Courtyard, where he saw the Ji Family members lying on the ground.
His heart lurched.
Even with my modest achievements in Buddhist cultivation, whatâs happening before my eyes is truly bizarre.
This filled him with unease as he looked towards Liao Kong. "Amitabha! Elder Uncle!"
Monk Liao Kong looked at the Abbot.
"How is the Princess?"
"Sheâs outside. Her condition is the same as theirs; she suddenly fainted."
"Why did this happen?" Huo XingâEr and Monk Liao Kong asked in unison, then questioned each other, "What exactly did you do to them?"
Only after asking did they realize the problem with their simultaneous questions.
"I didnât do anything!" Zhu Xiuxiu was the first to speak. Looking at the frowning Monk Liao Kong, she said, "Old bald donkey, their condition is unclear right now. Shall we call a truce?"
"Amitabha! Please do as you wish, Benefactor!"
Huo XingâEr put away the bell in her hand and quickly ran to check Old Madam Jiâs breathing. "Everything is normal!"
She then checked Ji Youze and Ji Youran, with the same strange result. Finally, Ji Youzhi; his condition was identical, his breathing perfectly steady.
Why did this happen?
Huo XingâErâs head was throbbing with worry. She quickly ran out of the Courtyard. Immediately, she saw Ji Youcheng and... er... Xiaosuisui tied to his belt!
Her lips couldnât help but twitch.
This Third Brother is truly one of a kind! Only he could come up with such a ridiculous idea!
