Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Amitabha! Benefactor Deng, kindness is not weakness or naivety. We should treat people as ends in themselves, not merely as means to an end."

"Temper and kindness both point to the same core: returning to your true self."

"On a humanitarian level, kindness will earn you deep affection and friendship."

"At the level of the Heavenly Way, kindness accumulates invisible good karma for you."

"At the level of the heart, kindness determines the pattern and direction of your life."

Kindness is your most powerful protection.

"Therefore, you no longer need to be confused by the complexities of the world. From now on, you must atone for the sins you have committed in the past and redeem yourself, both in soul and body."

"Today I can remove the curse from you. It's all fate. Just like the blood of your ancestors flows in your veins, bringing you boundless glory, but also the hereditary disease they inherited."

Upon hearing this, Deng Zhi was immediately shocked.

Because he never told Master Jueyuan that he suffered from a hereditary disease.

Deng Ying, who had been standing silently to the side, also changed her expression drastically upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "It seems that Abbot Jueyuan is indeed quite capable; he even knows that my brother suffers from a hereditary disease."

Then Deng Zhi asked, "Master, how did you know I have a hereditary disease?"

Master Jueyuan smiled slightly, revealing a profound and unfathomable expression, and said, "Benefactor Deng, do you remember the last time you came to me saying that you were unlucky, that your wealth was being harmed by villains, and your affairs were being handled by wicked people? You asked me to change your luck. I told you to find a virgin and have her give birth to your child. Then your luck will turn around, and everything will be resolved."

Upon hearing this, Deng Zhi's expression changed drastically. He suddenly remembered that Master Jueyuan had indeed told him that.

Damn it, I forgot about having children later. Is this some kind of inescapable fate?

Deng Zhi hurriedly asked, "Master, what about now?"

Jueyuan stared at Deng Zhi's face with his deep, unfathomable eyes for a full minute, then put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, what a pity. You killed the woman and the child in her womb, and you also cut off your own path to survival. If that child had been born, his umbilical cord blood could have cured your family's hereditary disease."

"boom!"

Deng Zhi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his brain throbbing with pain.

He did know that umbilical cord blood is the blood remaining in the umbilical cord and placenta at the time of a newborn's birth. It is rich in hematopoietic stem cells and is mainly used to treat blood system diseases, immunodeficiency diseases, etc., and has regenerative medicine research value.

It turns out that umbilical cord blood can treat hereditary diseases in one's family.

"Master, why didn't you tell me directly back then?"

Jueyuan smiled faintly and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Giving you guidance has already violated the rules of heaven. Moreover, things must be done step by step and cannot be rushed. I will tell you when the child is about to be born, but you have forgotten my words."

Deng Zhi hurriedly and earnestly asked, "Master, is there still any room for maneuver? I'm willing to pay any price."

Jueyuan shook his head and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, it's too late, benefactor. This is all the will of Heaven. Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be escaped."

At this moment, Deng Zhi was filled with remorse, realizing he had cut off his own path to survival.

But who can we blame for this?

"Phew~~".

Deng Zhi took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and asked, "Master, I've been cursed by paper dolls today. Who's behind this?"

"Please enlighten me, Master."

After Deng Zhi finished speaking, he presented a bank card with both hands and said, "Master, this is a small token of my appreciation for the incense offerings to Tanzhe Temple."

Jueyuan gestured to the young novice monk beside him.

The young novice monk immediately stepped forward, took the bank card from Deng Zhi's hand, and then quietly withdrew.

Jueyuan: "Amitabha, are there any wandering Taoist priests around you, benefactor? The paper doll curse technique is the sacred technique of Qingcheng Mountain."

After Jueyuan finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Benefactor, having kind thoughts will make you feel grateful, and doing good deeds will purify your soul. Amitabha, see the guest out."

After saying this, Jueyuan turned and left...

Deng Zhi stood up, and Deng Ying quickly went forward to help him, whispering, "Master, you're amazing! You could even figure this out."

Deng Zhi raised his head and looked at the Bodhisattva in the center of the main hall. He then put his hands together and bowed four times, saying, "Bodhisattva, protect me through this difficult time. I will consecrate your statue, and you will surely receive plenty of incense money in the future."

After finishing his prayers, Deng Zhi walked out of the main hall to the parking lot, got into his car, and said to Deng Ying, "Isn't Qing Xuanzi, Qin Hanwu's advisor, a former disciple of Qingcheng Mountain?"

"Damn it, Qin Hanwu has always wanted to get revenge on me."

Deng Ying: "Big brother, what do we do now?"

Deng Zhi's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? He wants me dead, so how can I let him live?"

Deng Ying: "Brother, didn't the master just tell you to treat people kindly? Why are you still thinking about killing people?"

Deng Zhi sneered, "What nonsense about being kind to others! Everyone wants my life, how can I be kind? Am I supposed to stretch my neck and persuade people to lay down their weapons? If you want to be kind, wait until I've wiped out all those who don't submit to me and those who want to kill me. Cao Cao said, 'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.'"

"Zhang Weijie".

Zhang Weijie, who was standing guard not far away, quickly ran over and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"

Deng Zhi: "Immediately gather men and come with me to kill people."

Zhang Weijie was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, sir."

Then he took out his phone and started making calls to invite people.

Deng Zhi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is Dean Jia?"

Deng Ying blinked and said, "I don't know, I've been with you the whole time."

Zhang Weijie, who had just finished the phone call, interjected, "Dean Jia said that the gentleman is alright, so he took his people back first."

Deng Zhi nodded, his face full of murderous intent, and ordered, "Let's go, let's go find Qin Hanwu and settle accounts. Damn it, if he can't beat me openly, he'll resort to dirty tricks behind my back."

"Qing Xuanzi, killing you is not enough to vent my anger!"

at the same time,

In a quiet little house in the backyard of Tanzhe Temple.

Master Jueyuan placed a briefcase in front of Jia Fugui and said, "Here is 500,000. It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Jia Fugui picked up the briefcase, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Pleasure doing business with you. Has Deng Zhi left?"

Jueyuan: "Let's go. We should go settle accounts with Qin Hanwu and Qing Xuanzi. They're idiots. They call themselves the number one in the capital, but they have no brains at all."

Jia Fugui nodded and said, "Master, does Young Master Liu have any further instructions?"

Jueyuan: "Not for now?"

Jia Fugui: "Is he with you?"

Jueyuan's face instantly darkened, his eyes sharpened, and an overwhelming killing intent emanated from his body. He sternly rebuked, "Jia Fugui, you have crossed the line. If there is a next time, you will bear the consequences."

Jia Fugui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Master, I'll leave right away."

Then he grabbed the briefcase and fled as if he were running away…

Jueyuan slowly stood up, walked out of the room, and came to the Buddha statue in the main hall. He reached out and pressed a button in an inconspicuous corner next to it.

"Click."

A small door suddenly popped out from behind the tall Buddha statue, revealing that the Buddha's belly was hollow.

Then Jueyuan slipped into the small door, which closed automatically without leaving a trace from the outside.
