After receiving confirmation, Master Liujue went to report back to Ye Qingqing. After he left, Huixin pouted unhappily and said with concern, "Master, you finally managed to squeeze out some time to rest, and now you have to exhaust yourself for someone unrelated. You'll ruin your health."
Master Daoyi smiled kindly and gently patted Huixin's smooth, round head. "It's alright, I can handle it. Any news from the other three directions?"
Huixin shook her head, "I haven't received it yet, Master. Are those demons settled down?"
If only things could be peaceful, then Master could rest properly. Every few years, those demons would become restless and require Buddhist power to suppress them. Moreover, there must be eminent monks in all four directions. The west is the most chaotic and requires the most Buddhist power, so four eminent monks are stationed there.
Relatively speaking, the east side is more peaceful, so only Master Daoyi is guarding it. There are two eminent monks in the north and two in the south. As a result, Master Daoyi has the heaviest burden and is the most tired.
Huixin was the successor carefully chosen by Master Daoyi, but unfortunately he was still young and his cultivation was too shallow to help. He had to do his best to support the family. After several months of continuous work, Master Daoyi was indeed exhausted.
"I hope things are peaceful now, otherwise we'll have to send reinforcements from the east." Dao Yi put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer.
The constant natural disasters in recent years cannot be entirely blamed on those evil spirits. The main reason is that humans have brought this upon themselves. They have stripped the grass off the mountains. Trees are the foundation of human survival. Those people did not know that what they were tearing down was not just grass, but their own graves!
Dao Yi sighed deeply and asked Hui Xin, "Have the donations been collected?"
“It’s all here, Master. This money can plant so many trees.” Huixin’s eyes sparkled.
Master Daoyi felt a little better and nodded with a smile. The east was the most economically prosperous region, so he was willing to stay here for a long time and make friends with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, all in order to raise more money to improve his current predicament.
Everything has a spirit, including plants and trees. These plants and trees are like the hair and skin of the earth. Those who dig their own graves will sooner or later suffer the earth's revenge. The increasing natural disasters in recent years are the earth's warning.
It's laughable that those fools are still courting death, dragging other innocent people down with them. Alas!
Master Daoyi sighed again, "Let's send these donations to Zen Master Sansi!"
Zen Master Sansi is one of the four eminent monks who protect the West, and also the steward of these masters. All the donations raised are concentrated in Zen Master Sansi's hands and used where they are needed. He has persisted in this for ten years, but the results have been minimal.
Earth is like a vast constellation of stars, and these few are just insignificant little stars among them. Moreover, there are so many other worthless and reckless people. No matter how hard they work, they can't outdo these people in destruction.
But doing something is better than doing nothing. I just hope their efforts can make a difference, even a little.
Ye Qingqing received Master Liujue's reply and thanked him repeatedly, asking, "Master, are you running low on pills? I'll bring some more in three days."
Master Liujue was pleased. He was just about to ask about the pills when the little girl brought it up, saving him from feeling awkward.
"I have something to ask. Is there any health-preserving medicine suitable for my Master Daoyi? He has been overworking lately and his energy has decreased a lot." Master Liujue was also quite worried about Master Daoyi's health.
