Passing on the Light of Buddha's Wisdom: Enchanting Wu Song and Developing an Emergency Headband! (Continued)

Three words, each ringing like a hammer striking the ground.

Ji Gong's body swayed almost imperceptibly.

Lin Chen continued:

"From the standpoint of personal gain and calculation, for the sake of subduing demons, you would rather take upon yourself immense sin and karma.

That is taking a loss. That is being foolish.

That is called stupidity!

The four words echoed over the ruins, shaking fragments of stone loose in a rustling cascade.
