281: Hui Che was quite easily fooled.
"Why is this?" Hui Che was a little surprised; he hadn't expected that the temples in Qiyang City would actually be torn down.
And so thoroughly.
"Speaking of this, everyone in Qiyang City almost lost their lives because of Dacian Temple..."
The woman began to tell Hui Che about the past events involving Dacian Temple and the Wutong Sect.
After listening, Hui Che let out a long sigh.
"So that's how it is. Then tearing it down is not excessive."
Although Hui Che cultivated Buddhism, he would not protect such scourges.
Even if they were of the same origin as him, they were still people who deserved to die.
"Amitabha, Benefactor, I apologize for the disturbance." After putting his palms together and bowing, Hui Che intended to turn and leave.
Since there was no place to stay in the city, he could only find a sheltered spot outside the city to make do for the night.
"Little Master, why don't you come to our house and stay for a night?"
The woman thought for a moment and asked.
"There is also a Dao cultivator in our family; you two should have much to talk about."
"No, this violates the precepts." Hui Che shook his head and refused outright.
"It's just for one night, and I won't let you stay for free." The woman chuckled.
"Tell me about Buddhism. It's been a long time since I've heard anyone speak of Buddhism."
"Since that is the case, This humble monk will speak of Buddhism and perform a Blessing for you, Benefactor." Hui Che nodded. Since it was speaking of Buddhism to someone, it wouldn't count as breaking a precept.
Moreover, this woman had some Evil Qi and karmic evil clinging to her, so it was likely that there were evil spirits in her home... It was a full hour before Chen Heng returned home.
He followed the scent of incense ash on Hui Che and searched all over, only to finally stand at his own doorstep.
"That Little Bald Donkey is back again?"
Chen Heng followed the scent of incense ash and eventually stopped in front of Jing Fan and Tianer's courtyard.
"No way..." Chen Heng's old face twitched; there couldn't be such a coincidence, could there?
Chen Heng gently knocked on the courtyard door, and only after the Maidservant opened it did he walk in.
Sure enough, in the room with the brazier burning, Hui Che was giving Jing Fan a lecture on Buddhism and a Blessing, while Chen Tianer was gnawing on a pig's trotters to be used on New Years Day.
"Alright, Little Bald Donkey, you're back again, aren't you?"
A well-shaped wrinkle appeared on Chen Heng's forehead; his blood pressure was a bit high now.
His original plan was for him to trick Hui Che, but this Little Monk had already tricked Jing Fan first.
He looked like a stubborn person, but in reality, he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve!
Chen Heng didn't speak; he pushed open the door and walked into Jing Fan's bedroom.
"young master, why have you come?" Jing Fan looked at Chen Heng with some surprise; this was the first time Chen Heng had come to her courtyard.
"It's nothing, Aunt Jing, I have something to discuss with this Little Monk."
Chen Heng pointed at Hui Che and grabbed his bald head.
"Little Bald Donkey, didn't I tell you not to enter my house?"
Lifting Hui Che, Chen Heng stared intently at Hui Che, who had his eyes closed and wouldn't look at him.
"young master, this Little Master was invited back by me. I was on the road..."
After telling Chen Heng about her encounter with Hui Che, Chen Heng finally put Hui Che down.
"Benefactor Chen, you and I are truly fated." Hui Che rubbed the five clear finger marks on his bald head and smiled at Chen Heng.
"Yes, truly fated." Chen Heng gritted his teeth and smiled.
In front of Chen Tianer and Jing Fan, he couldn't make a move easily, as it might hurt them.
"Come with me, I have something to say to you." Just as Chen Heng was about to drag Hui Che away, he found that he was firmly stuck to the ground.
"Benefactor Chen, please don't be anxious. It's not too late for me to go with you after I've finished speaking of Buddhism and performing a Blessing for Benefactor Jing."
"Alright, then I'll wait." Chen Heng walked out of the courtyard with a fake smile, grabbed a small stool, and squatted at the courtyard entrance.
An hour passed, and the sound of chanting inside didn't stop.
Two hours passed, and the chanting inside became even more vigorous!
Three hours passed, and the chanting inside still didn't stop... It wasn't until the next morning, when Snake Green had already swapped shifts with the siblings Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang, that this dead bald donkeys finally stopped.
"Benefactor Chen, I have finished speaking of Buddhism and performing a Blessing for Benefactor Jing. May I know what matter you have?"
Hui Che walked out of the courtyard looking refreshed.
It had been a long time since anyone had listened to him speak of Buddhism for so long; even the old Masters in the Esoteric Sect were unwilling to listen to him chant.
It was truly an unfulfilled desire... "Come." Chen Heng grabbed Hui Che's bald head and dragged him into his own courtyard.
"Benefactor Chen, could you please let go?" Hui Che was sweating from the pain, but the expression on his face remained peaceful and serene.
"I feel like my crown is about to be punctured by your grip; this is an act of killing!"
"I really want to crush you to death right now." Releasing his grip on Hui Che's bald head, Chen Heng placed him in the pavilion in the courtyard.
"I heard your Blessing is very powerful?"
"I have indeed achieved quite a bit in the aspect of Blessing." As soon as this was mentioned, Hui Che was no longer sleepy and puffed out his chest as he spoke.
"You know that the day after tomorrow is New Years Day, right?" Chen Heng sat on a stone stool, his back resting against a pillar of the pavilion.
"Of course, this is a day of universal celebration." Hui Che naturally knew that the day after tomorrow was New Years Day, but it had little to do with their Esoteric Sect.
They were detached from the mundane world and did not celebrate these festivals.
"Your Esoteric Sect cultivates Buddhism through Karma. Then how much Karma do you think it would be to perform a Blessing for the entire city on such a universally celebrated day?"
"Moreover, the people of Qiyang City are all very weak due to a past fog. If you help them with a Blessing and heal their illnesses, it would be a great Karma."
"Indeed..." Hui Che nodded in agreement.
Qiyang City had at least hundreds of thousands of people; performing a Blessing for so many people would consume a considerable amount.
However, when he thought about the Karma feedback after the Blessing, Hui Che felt that what Chen Heng said actually made some sense.
But... Qiyang City had tens of thousands of people. If he performed a Blessing for all of them, wouldn't it take his life?
Even if he was an Esoteric Buddhist Buddha's Child, he couldn't endure such harm.
"What, you're unwilling?" Chen Heng's expression changed, and he let out a long sigh.
"You don't know, because of that fog, many families were ruined, wives and children separated, and even the skilled disciples of the True Immortal Sect couldn't heal them."
"I originally thought you had a compassionate heart and could save the people in the city, but I didn't expect..."
"You cultivators of Buddhism are nothing more than hypocrites!"
Chen Heng's words were delivered with great emotion, moving people to tears.
Bullshit!
His words were as fake as could be, and by the end, he almost laughed at himself.
Originally, Chen Heng thought Hui Che wouldn't fall for it and was prepared to resort to force.
But he found that this Little Monk was actually seriously considering the feasibility of doing so.
"I understand, Benefactor Chen. It seems that although you carry a monstrous amount of killing Karma, you still possess a compassionate heart."
Hui Che put his palms together and bowed to Chen Heng.
"Give me a day to prepare. I will perform a Blessing and heal the illnesses for all the people of Qiyang City on New Years Day."
"Leave it to me!"
