The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 182 The Tongqing Temple with Heyday of Incense
When Pei Wende finished his daily morning class and returned to the mountain gate of Tongqing Temple, it was almost noon.

An endless stream of pilgrims are coming in and out, a busy and lively scene, no longer the silence of a year ago.

Even though he had already gotten used to the increasingly prosperous incense in Tongqing Temple, Pei Wende still chose to go around the back door to avoid the coming and going pilgrims.

After all, although Wen Wende doesn't value any identity, he still has a basic understanding of himself.

As a disciple of Chan Master Lingyou and a younger brother of Monk Huiji, Pei Wende is different from those monks who lived in Tongqing Temple, and can be said to be the direct successor of this temple.

Not to mention, Pei Wende has helped the pilgrims solve a lot of troubles in the past year, and he has already gained a certain reputation among the many pilgrims.

To put it bluntly, a considerable part of the reason why Tongqing Temple can enjoy its prosperity today is due to the nosy Pei Wende.

Over time, I burn incense and worship Buddha in front of the temple if I have nothing to do, and go to Huiji Wende when I have something to do...

This has almost become a common perception among the regular visitors of Tongqing Temple, and it is also a fact tacitly accepted by Zen Master Lingyou.

Being incensed by others, it is natural to help them eliminate disasters.

Zen Master Lingyou has a very clear understanding of this point.

As for the different paths chosen by the two disciples, Huiji and Pei Wende, Zen Master Lingyou also maintained an attitude of silent support.

Whether Huiji wants to spread the Dharma widely, or Pei Wende wants to cut karma and protect the Tao...

As long as Chan Master Lingyou is within his capacity, he will do his best to support them.

......................................................................................................

"what?"

Just when Pei Wende was about to sneak into the temple through the back door, he suddenly noticed that the door of Zen master Lingyou's meditation room was ajar.

"Old and... Master?"

Instinctively swallowing the "old monk" that blurted out, Pei Wende looked at the old Taoist sitting opposite Zen Master Lingyou in the meditation room, and was a little dazed for a while.

In Pei Wende's impression, Zen Master Lingyou's meditation room is considered a rare "forbidden zone" in Tongqing Temple.

Except for Zen Master Lingyou himself, Wende Wende and Monk Huiji would occasionally go in when they delivered meals, and other times it was a place where idlers were not allowed to enter.

Therefore, this is the first time that Wen Wende sees Chan Master Lingyou entertaining guests in the meditation room, and it is this kind of "sitting opposite" with equal seniority and posture.

"This is your other apprentice?"

Just when Pei Wende was in a daze, the old Taoist asked in a low voice without turning his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

"Bad guy Pei Wende, I made you laugh."

Smiling and shaking his head, Chan Master Lingyou introduced in a humble but proud tone.

"However, although this bastard is stubborn, he is kind-hearted and has a good reputation in this area."

Listening to the familiar politeness of Zen Master Lingyou and the old Taoist, Pei Wende seemed to have returned to the atmosphere of chatting with the elders in his previous life.

In the chatting of the elders, as a junior, Pei Wende just acted as a talking point, boasting himself to outsiders in various seemingly detrimental ways.

"What are you still doing in a daze? I haven't met your uncle Dan Chenzi yet!"

Seeing this situation, Pei Wende, who had the same thoughts as Huiji, didn't have time to complain about why he, a lay monk, would have a Taoist uncle, so he hurried forward and bowed his hands as a junior salute.

"I've met Uncle Dan Chenzi, disciple Pei Wende."

Only then did Dan Chenzi turn his head slowly, and looked up and down Pei Wende with a calm gaze.

"It seems that the senior brother has been quite leisurely in Weishan these years, and he has cultivated such two talented people."

......................................................................................................

At the same time, in the Daxiong Hall of Tongqing Temple.

"Dan Chenzi?"

I saw Huiji receiving the pilgrims and monks on behalf of Zen Master Lingyou, while recalling the Taoist who called himself "Dan Chenzi" thoughtfully.

In the era before Chan Master Lingyou retired, there were not many monks and Taoists who could call him brothers and sisters.

Especially for the other party to be able to see their own details at a glance, this is definitely not something that ordinary practitioners can do.

After all, the first point of "no leakage supernatural power" is "no leakage". If individuals can see through their own details, how can it be called "no leakage"?

"Hey, Master Huiji?"

Just when Huiji was thinking about Dan Chenzi's specific identity, a slightly dissatisfied voice suddenly woke him up from his contemplation.

Hui Ji looked up and saw a very conservatively dressed woman sitting in front of him, with a wrinkled face full of displeasure.

"Master Huiji, you agreed to release the lottery for me? Why did you lose your mind?"

Facing the woman's almost coquettish tone, Huiji could only sigh helplessly.

"Red fox, are you so interesting?"

While speaking, Huiji had already spread out the sign in her hand, on which was written "Monk and fairy, perfect match" in big characters.

"Is this the fourth time for you this month? Haven't you played enough?"

Hearing this, the woman on the opposite side suddenly turned her anger into a smile, and took advantage of the opportunity to snatch the label from Huiji's hand.

"Of course I haven't played enough. I will keep playing until you promise me!"

After the conservatively dressed woman finished speaking, she suddenly leaned forward and said in a low voice.

"But you don't like me the way I am now, so how about I change into a more beautiful one next time?"

Rolling his eyes bluntly, Hui Ji knew that he had nothing to do with a thick-skinned goblin, so he simply shouted at the other pilgrims who were waiting for the lottery to be released.

"The next one, this female benefactor, please make room!"

Seeing this, the old man, who had long been displeased with the red fox occupying the position and refused to give way, immediately took a step forward and squeezed the woman who was obviously not serious to solve the lottery.

"Qi!"

Seeing this, the unwilling Chihu could only stomp his feet fiercely on the spot, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd behind him.

"..."

Silently looking at the back of the red fox leaving, Huiji could only say sorry quietly in her heart.

Huiji has never been the kind of person with a hard heart, so he naturally knows the other's intentions for this red fox who has been pestering him.

But just like what he once said to Li Yanran's servant girl, he has already promised the Buddha himself, and it is impossible to accept the wishes of other secular women.

Even a monster like Chihu, who has achieved success in cultivation, is doomed not to be able to enter Huiji's heart.

"Amitabha, may I ask what kind of thing the donor wants to ask about this lottery?"

Huiji, who regained his energy, stopped thinking so much, and kept his usual smile, asking the haggard old man in front of him.

"Marriage? Fortune? Or elders' well-being?"

Hearing this, the haggard old man couldn't help but shed tears, sobbing in a sobbing tone.

"Master Huiji, I really have no choice but to go up the mountain this time, and I hope Master will help me!"
