"I originally found it strange. Sister Bai is a kind and peaceful person, so why did you go to so much trouble to lure people here and kill them? It turns out that it was all because of a few elixirs." Ao Qingmei, who was as smart as ice and snow, heard the conversation between her third sister and Bai Suzhen from afar and immediately understood everything. She lowered her eyes slightly, and suddenly felt a little disgusted with Fahai in her heart. She glared at him, opened her red lips, and said coldly: "As a monk, it would be fine if you can't achieve the four elements of emptiness, get rid of greed, abstain from anger, and forget ignorance. But you used Buddhist instruments for your own personal grudges. Don't you know that this is a taboo in Buddhism?"
Fahai forced himself to remain calm, avoiding Ao Qingmei's gaze, and said, "It is true that Bai Suzhen and I had a feud, but time has passed and things have changed, and we have long forgotten it." He paused, glanced at Bai Suzhen, and said in a deep voice, "My intention to subdue Bai Suzhen today has nothing to do with the previous feud. I just want to eliminate harm and exorcise demons for the people."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaoqing had already scolded him in a cold voice: "Stinky monk, stop talking nonsense and telling lies here. It's obvious that you are just doing this for your own personal grudge and revenge, and you are still talking about getting rid of harm for the people. It's really funny! - Let me ask you, my sister has a kind heart of a bodhisattva. She wouldn't even step on an ant to death, let alone harm mortals. How can you say that you are getting rid of harm for the people?"
Facing Xiaoqing's question, Fahai said slowly, word by word, "Princess, please don't forget that on the Dragon Boat Festival, Bai Suzhen appeared drunk and frightened the mortal Xu Xian to death. This is a sin of killing! As a disciple of Buddhism, I subjugate her to protect the peace of the area, which is to eliminate harm for the people."
"That idiot Xu Xian is alive and well, how could he have been scared to death? It was you, an old monk, who almost killed my sister first. My sister did not bother with you and only took your six elixirs as a small punishment and a big warning. It would have been fine if you were ungrateful, but you still bear a grudge against him until now. Now you use this high-sounding excuse to use Buddhist instruments to commit crimes. It's really hateful!" Xiao Qing became more and more angry as she spoke. She raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, "If you, a hypocritical and vicious monk like you, are not taught a lesson, I'm afraid you will not know how to restrain yourself in the future! Second sister—"
Ao Qingmei nodded in understanding and said, "Don't worry, I, Ao Qingmei, will teach the guy who hurt our Third Princess a lesson."
“Second sister, please don’t show mercy. I want Fahai to only recite scriptures and chant Buddha’s name from today onwards, and never think of doing evil and harming people again!” If Xiaoqing hadn’t been injured, she would have destroyed Fahai’s magic by herself, but now this task had to be handed over to her second sister.
"Qingmei—" Ao Ningshuang called out, as if he had something to say, but Ao Qingmei had already raised his finger to the sky, and a breeze suddenly swirled between his fingers, whistling straight up to the sky! In the sky of the nine heavens, the floating clouds were suddenly rolled up by an invisible force, and gathered from all directions at a very fast speed, hanging high above Fahai's head, "Nine Heavens Thunder, hit—" He raised his voice and shouted, and the sky changed color with a wave of his hand, and lightning and thunder flashed!
Fahai was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly raised his hands to his chest and formed a hand seal to protect himself with an invisible barrier. However, the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder was so strong that it was impossible for Fahai's mere barrier to resist it!
A thunderbolt struck down, and the invisible barrier formed by Fahai was torn apart. The power that changed the color of the world suddenly hit him. Fahai's breathing stagnated, and his eyes suddenly went black. He opened his mouth and a stream of blood spurted out. Then his body shook, and he couldn't support himself and suddenly fell to the ground! Seeing the second thunderbolt coming, the man who was no longer able to resist, his face turned pale with fear, and he suddenly gritted his teeth, closed his eyes in despair and unwillingness, waiting to die!
However, after waiting for a long while, everything was calm. Fahai was startled and slowly opened his eyes, only to see the dark clouds above his head dissipate and the sky clear up. Beside Ao Qingmei, the Princess of the East China Sea, dressed in white and with a plain and slightly pale face, looked at him quietly and said lightly: "We people of the East China Sea are not the kind of people who bully the weak. If the master had not hurt people first, we would not have made things difficult for him... I hope today's matter can end here."
"Big sister, it's too easy for this old monk to let it go so easily, isn't it?" Xiaoqing looked at Fahai coldly and said, "If you don't destroy his magic, won't he be able to cause trouble to you in the future?"
"Qing'er, Master Fahai's cultivation was not easy to come by, how can we destroy it so easily." Although Fahai was making things difficult for her, as a cultivator, Bai Suzhen knew very well that cultivation was not easy, and she did not want to destroy anyone's cultivation unless it was absolutely necessary.
"elder sister-"
"Qing'er, I agree with your sister. Let's end today's matter here."
"What if Fahai causes trouble to my sister again in the future?"
"I was also wrong when I stole the six elixirs from Master Fahai. If after today, Master Fahai still refuses to let go of the grudge between him and me, then no matter what he wants in the future, I will be at his service anytime." Bai Suzhen's words were not only spoken to Xiaoqing, but also to Fahai. She wanted Fahai to understand that if he still refused to let go of his obsession and continued to make things difficult for her, she would be there for him anytime.
Although Xiaoqing disagreed with her elder sister and elder sister's actions and felt that they were too soft-hearted, she finally compromised and no longer insisted on dealing with Fahai. However, she warned Fahai: "Fahai, you are lucky today. Since my elder sister and elder sister don't want to make things difficult for you anymore, let's just let it go today! But listen carefully, if you dare to plot against my sister again next time, I, Xiaoqing, swear that I will lead the elite troops of my East China Sea Dragon Palace to raze your Jinshan Temple to the ground!" Xiaoqing was not threatening, she could do what she said. If Fahai regarded her words as a joke, he would definitely regret it!
"Sister, sister, let's go." Xiaoqing was too disdainful to look at Fahai again. She held Bai Suzhen's hand tightly, called Ao Ningshuang and Ao Qingmei, and left together.
Ao Ningshuang was about to walk away when she saw Fahai's unwilling look. She sighed and said meaningfully, "Master, since you are a disciple of Buddhism, you should cultivate yourself and purify your nature. If you have too much anger, you will inevitably go astray. I hope you will take care of yourself."
A breeze blew by, and Ao Ningshuang and his group disappeared.
"Bai Suzhen, one day I will imprison you in Leifeng Pagoda and suppress you forever!" Fahai was unwilling to give in and swore hatefully. He clenched his hands hanging at his sides secretly, and the joints of his ten fingers turned white due to the force.
"It's good that you don't give up after defeat! But how can you deal with the people in Dragon Palace?" Suddenly, a vague and strange voice sounded in the air, questioning coldly with disdain.
Fahai was startled, raised his head and looked around vigilantly, and shouted coldly: "Which evildoer is so bold and presumptuous!"
A gust of cold wind blew by, and a black gas slowly condensed ten feet in front of Fahai, gradually transforming into a human face. The human face sneered and corrected the words one by one: "You are wrong, I am a demon, not a monster!"
