Chapter 558: 558
With this in mind, Fangzheng asked, "System Bro, how much merit is needed to bless City-Toppling Beauty and Li Xueying each?"
"Blessing City-Toppling Beauty requires 700 merit points, while blessing Li Xueying requires 300 merit points . "
"That much?" Fangzheng jumped in fright . If he recalled correctly, all he needed to bless two children the last time was 200 points!
"The requirements for a blessing become higher according to the target's influence . Blessing people who are influential will result in great karmic change . So naturally, more merit points are needed to do so . As a non-human object, blessing City-Toppling Beauty should be easier than blessing humans, but its influence is even greater and more far-reaching instead! Bessing it is therefore naturally more expensive . Think carefully before you decide on the blessing . "
Fangzheng felt his heart wince from hearing that . However, after thinking of what City-Toppling Beauty represented, he said through clenched teeth, "Bless City-Toppling Beauty!"
"Beginning to bless City-Toppling Beauty . Merit transfer will begun . Before the transfer is complete, reciting as many scriptures as possible will increase the magnitude and strength of the blessing and its effects!"
"What?" Fangzheng was planning on washing his hands of the matter and hiding in a corner to cry over his lost merit . Now, not only could he not hide in a corner, he had to watch as his merit departed from him point after point! Furthermore, he had to recite scriptures at the same time! And he needed to do so as fast as possible for maximum effect! Was this a test on his vocal abilities?
"Merit deduction beginning in 3, 2―"
"Wait, that's too fast! Amitabha, Buddha, %$#T%#" Fangzheng did not even have the chance to grumble or prepare . Once '1' was announced, he quickly started reciting! As for what he was reciting, it was naturally the Diamond Sutra . He had memorized it from a young age and was very familiar with it .
"Remember, the greater the variety, the better the blessings . "
Fangzheng cursed inwardly . "This isn't giving blessings, is it? This is just meant to torture me, right? You are forcing me to recite different kinds of scriptures? Isn't this student harassment? What a scam!"
However, Fangzheng immediately drove away his unnecessary thoughts and became serene and calm . He calmly began reciting the scriptures in prayer .
Fangzheng had read quite a number of scriptures, and he had memorized quite a few too . However, he was unable to rattle them off at high speeds . Therefore, Fangzheng chose the few scriptures he was most familiar with and repeated them infinitely .
At that moment, Monkey heard scriptures being recited in the hall suddenly and turned his head to look . It was nothing strange for Fangzheng to be reciting scriptures, but something seemed amiss today . Fangzheng's recitals in the past had a cadence to them, and his voice was usually melodious like he was singing Buddhistic music .
But today, why was he rattling off like a machine gun? Was he mad?
Monkey was puzzled while Red Boy, Lone Wolf, and Squirrel were attracted over too . The four disciples exchanged looks before Squirrel said, "What's wrong with Master? It's like he's chasing after a train . "
"Perhaps he has gone mad," said Red Boy .
Lone Wolf said, "Should I wake Master up?"
With that said, there was a rustling sound around him as everyone who had been standing by his side hid far away . Red Boy said in all seriousness, "I think you can give it a try . "
Squirrel looked up into the sky and said in apparent casualness, "I think you can too . Senior Brother, go for it . "
Lone Wolf frowned and looked at Monkey who had thrown his broom away and picked up a metal shovel, asking, "Junior Brother, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to dig a hole for you in the mountains . Later, I'll create a tombstone," said Monkey in all seriousness .
