Chapter 641 Stop her!
Yun Qingqing ignored the few novice monks and looked carefully at the people who were listening to the sutra.
Xiao Changheng followed her line of sight and saw men and women sitting in the venue, all of them middle-aged or older. From their clothes he could tell they were either rich or noble. They all sat upright, seemingly concentrating, but in fact their eyes were a little empty, with their eyes not focused on any one spot, as if they were immersed in some non-existent scene.
Xiao Changheng frowned, feeling a little nervous.
His eyes fell on an old woman in the front row. She was the wife of Duke Ming. Like everyone else, her eyes were out of focus, like a sitting puppet.
At this moment, the monk slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at the two of them, then slowly spoke:
"Since the two donors have the good fortune to come here, please take a seat."
His tone was calm, his voice was not loud but deep, with some ethereal echo, making him sound even more like a master.
As soon as the monk spoke, a novice monk came forward, placed two cushions on the empty space at the side, and gestured to the two of them to come in.
Xiao Changheng felt his palms slightly warm. He knew that it was the Qingling Mantra painted by Yun Qingqing that took effect. He turned his head to look at her, only to see her nod slightly. Only then did he suppress his doubts and sit down with her.
The monk continued to recite scriptures in a low voice, his eyes always on the two people. Seeing that they sat down as usual, as if they were not affected by the Buddhist sound at all, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was not until Yun Qingqing sat down and looked up at him that he seemed to inadvertently withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and recited the scriptures. During the whole process, the movement of beating the wooden fish in his hand was steady and continuous, without interruption.
Yun Qingqing listened quietly for a while without any expression.
The spell on Xiao Changheng's palm kept getting hot, even burning. He probably understood why those people who were listening to the sutra looked like they had lost their souls, and his brows were furrowed even tighter.
He suddenly noticed that Yun Qingqing moved. He turned around and saw her raising her hand and gently stroking it in front of her. A zither appeared on her knees while she was sitting cross-legged. It was the magic weapon Liufang.
Her fingertips gently stroked the strings of the piano, and ethereal and melodious music rang out, like a fresh breeze blowing by. The eyes of the believers sitting in the venue suddenly changed, and their originally steady breathing became a little disordered. Some people even held their foreheads, as if trying to wake up.
The monk's expression changed slightly, and he immediately concentrated and recited the scriptures more attentively, and the movement of striking the wooden fish in his hand became heavier.
The sound of the wooden fish suddenly increased, making a tapping sound in the silent air, and gradually echoing.
The eyes of the believers who were about to wake up returned to emptiness, and they calmed down and sat upright again.
The monk's eyes shot towards Yun Qingqing with lightning speed, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he snorted softly through his nose.
Yun Qingqing's expression did not change, and he did not even lift his eyelids. He played the zither slowly and calmly with his fingertips. The melodious music did not sound much different, but gradually, the monk's face darkened again.
A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and the movement of his rosary beads became faster. The wooden fish was knocked harder and the scriptures were chanted faster.
The sounds of the chanting and the wooden fish seemed to make the air vibrate faintly. Xiao Changheng did not feel anything real, but his palms were getting hotter and hotter. He lowered his eyes and saw a golden mark shining in the center of his palm.
The monk's forehead was covered with sweat, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and spat out a few words:
"Stop her!"
