With this in mind, Fangzheng asked, "System Bro, how much merit do I need to bless City-Toppling Beauty and Li Xueying respectively?"
"Blessing City-Toppling Beauty requires 700 merit points. Blessing Li Xueying requires 300 merit points."
"That much?" Fangzheng jumped in fright. If he recalled correctly, the last time he blessed two children, it only required 200 points!
"The blessing will increase according to the influence of the person. For a person with great influence, once they are blessed, the karma they incur will be greater. Naturally, the merit expended will be greater. As an inhuman item, City-Toppling Beauty is easier to bless than the person itself. However, its influence is greater! More extensive! Blessings at such times are naturally more expensive. Think carefully about whether you want to bless him or not, "the system said.
Fangzheng felt the pinch when he heard that. However, when he thought of what City-Toppling Beauty wanted to express, Fangzheng clenched his teeth and said, "Bless City-Toppling Beauty!"
"Blessing City-Toppling Beauty begins. Take note. Merit will be expended. Before the expenditure ends, the more scriptures you recite, the greater the blessings! The stronger the effects! "
"What?" Fangzheng had already planned on abandoning the task and feeling the pinch! But tragically, he realized that he could not dodge at all. Not only could he not dodge, but he had to watch as his merit left him bit by bit! Furthermore, he had to recite the scriptures! The faster, the better! Was this a test of his recitation speed?
"Merit about to begin. 3, 2 …"
"Wait … Aiyah, this is too sudden. Amitabha. Revered One of the World …% $# T% #" Fangzheng did not even have the chance to grumble. Neither did he have time to prepare. Once "1" appeared, he hurriedly recited the scriptures! As for what he was reciting, it was naturally the Diamond Sutra. He had learned it from a young age and was most familiar with it!
"Remember, the more types you recite, the more blessings you will receive."
Fangzheng cursed inwardly. "This isn't a blessing, right? Isn't this torturing me? Are you forcing me to recite more scriptures? Are there so many students? What a scam! "
However, Fangzheng immediately focused his mind. He calmed his mind and recited the scriptures in peace.
Fangzheng had read quite a number of scriptures and had memorized many of them. However, even though he had memorized most of them, he was still unable to recite them quickly. Therefore, Fangzheng chose a few scriptures he was most familiar with and repeated them endlessly.
At that moment, Monkey heard scripture chanting coming from the hall and turned his head to look over. It wasn't odd for Fangzheng to recite scriptures in the past, but something was amiss today! In the past, Fangzheng recited the scriptures in a rhythmic manner. His voice was very pleasant to the ears, as though he was chanting Buddhist mantras.
But today, why was it like pouring beans? Was he crazy?
Monkey was curious. Red Boy, Lone Wolf, and Squirrel were also attracted over. The four exchanged looks as Squirrel said, "What's wrong with Master? Are you catching a train now? "
"He must be mad …" Red Boy said.
Lone Wolf said, "Should I wake Master up?"
The moment he said that, there was a 'whoosh' sound in the surroundings. The people who were standing at the side all hid far away. Red Boy said seriously, "I think you can give it a try."
Squirrel looked up into the sky and said in a very casual manner, "I think it's fine. Senior Brother, go ahead."
Lone Wolf frowned. He looked at Monkey, who had thrown away his broom and picked up his shovel. "Junior Brother, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to the back mountain to dig a hole for you. In a while, I'll make a tombstone for you," Monkey said in all seriousness.
A dark cloud hung over Lone Wolf's head. F * * k … They were all scams! He was only making a passing remark. Who would dare disturb Fangzheng at such a time? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Therefore, the few of them sat by the door and looked at Fangzheng silently.
"Look, Master's bald head is sweating," Squirrel said worriedly.
"He's really sweating. He might even be oozing oil," Lone Wolf mumbled.
"Master seems very nervous," Red Boy said.
"Should we help him wipe his sweat?"
"I think he should drink more water. Look, his saliva is flying out …"
…
As the few of them mumbled, their voices landed in Fangzheng's ears and messed up his thoughts. He tried his best to recall and recite the scriptures, but the few of them were like flies buzzing around him. Fangzheng gritted his teeth inwardly. "Wait for me to finish reciting the scriptures! Sweat? Ooze oil? I'll let you understand what it means to sweat and ooze oil … "
However, he quickly swept a glance at the countdown clock that appeared in his mind. He immediately got rid of his distracting thoughts and sped up his recitation. He could not care about anything else. Being distracted was a waste!
At the same time, Fangzheng did the math. The countdown was basically one merit point a minute! That meant he had to recite the scriptures for 700 minutes! If converted to hours, it would take more than ten hours! Fangzheng immediately felt like crying. Indeed, it was not that easy to bestow blessings. It was a huge scam!
Noon.
"Master is still reciting the scriptures?" Red Boy asked after he finished cooking.
Lone Wolf, who was slumped by the door sill, yawned and nodded weakly. This was the first time he had seen Fangzheng so engrossed in reciting the scriptures. It had been an hour.
Evening.
"Master is still reciting the scriptures?" Red Boy asked as he squatted under the bodhi tree with a bowl in hand.
Lone Wolf held the bowl in his mouth as he lay by the side. He looked at Fangzheng and continued nodding. "Master really likes to recite the scriptures. He doesn't even drink water in between."
When Fangzheng caught a whiff of the fragrance of the food wafting in from outside, he felt his rumbling stomach. He really wanted to go out and slap his disciples. Did they think he wasn't hungry enough? Also, who was that? Why was his mouth smacking so loudly?!
After Lone Wolf, Monkey, Red Boy, and Squirrel confirmed that Fangzheng was not eating dinner, they went to the side to do whatever they needed to do. They believed that Fangzheng definitely had his reasons for not eating.
In the middle of the night, Lone Wolf was sleeping when he suddenly heard a sneaky sound in the kitchen. His ears pricked up as he looked up at the kitchen. He pressed on the shadows in the kitchen. It was truly terrifying!
"There's a thief in the middle of the night?" Lone Wolf frowned. Red Boy and Monkey were still in the kitchen. Why were the two of them not making a sound? Could something have happened? Lone Wolf sneaked to the door and peeked his head in. He saw a white-robed monk sitting by the side of a pot, eating in large mouthfuls. The speed at which he ate and the way he opened his mouth made him look like a reincarnated hungry ghost!
Monkey was sitting on the bed while Red Boy lay weakly in his cradle. He yawned and smacked his lips. "Master, aren't you way too hungry? Those who know you haven't eaten for a day, but those who don't know might think you haven't eaten for a year. If you are hungry, why don't you come over to eat? Is chanting scriptures that fun? "
Fangzheng grunted. What else could he say? Blessings were such a scam. What else could he explain?
"Ding! Now you know how difficult it is to bestow blessings? If not? Do you think blessings are that simple? With a mere thought, there's everything? Without any effort, how can there be any return? "
Fangzheng grunted and continued eating. He could not be bothered to speak, nor did he have the time to speak to the System.
