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 that there were men and women sitting in the venue, all of them were middle-aged or above. From their clothes, it could be seen that 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 thing, as if they were immersed in some non-existent scene.
Xiao Changheng frowned, feeling a chill in his heart.
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, and she looked like a sitting puppet.
At this moment, the monk raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the two of them, and 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, and had a ethereal echo, which made him sound more like a master.
As soon as the monk spoke, a novice monk came forward, placed two cushions on the open space at the side, and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them.
Xiao Changheng felt a slight warmth in his palms. He knew that the Qingling Mantra painted by Yun Qingqing had taken effect. He turned his head to look at her and saw her nod slightly. Only then did he suppress his doubts and sit down with her.
The monk continued to chant scriptures in a low voice, his eyes always fixed on the two people. Seeing that they sat down with normal expressions, as if they were not affected by the Buddhist chanting 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 was getting hot, even burning. He probably understood why those who were listening to the sutra looked lost, and his brows were furrowed even tighter.
He suddenly noticed that Yun Qingqing moved. Turning around, he saw her raising her hand and gently stroking it in front of her face. 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 with his hands became heavier.
The sound of the wooden fish suddenly increased, making a tapping sound in the silent air, and gradually echoed.
The eyes of those 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. His fingertips gently plucked and played the zither without haste or impatience. The melodious music sounded unchanged, 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. He knocked the wooden fish harder and chanted the scriptures faster.
The sounds of chanting and wooden fish seemed to make the air vibrate faintly. Xiao Changheng didn't feel anything, 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!"
