The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 388 Sister Qing
Behind the main hall of Tongqing Temple.

"Really successful?"

When Zhang Chusheng arranged the pilgrims in an orderly manner, when he looked back again, he found that the sun had shined on the earth again.

The thunder and dark clouds that were short-lived just now seemed to have never appeared from the beginning, and the pilgrims who saw it without knowing it were amazed.

It seems that since the "Little Sakyamuni" appeared in Tongqing Temple, some amazing visions have often occurred here.

Those pilgrims who often go up the mountain were quite surprised at first, but then they became accustomed to them, and began to show off them as a kind of talk about themselves.

In a sense, Tongqing Temple's current incense is also inseparable from these occasional visions.

"success?"

Just as Zhang Chusheng turned his head, a slightly quiet voice suddenly came from beside him.

"what?"

Zhang Chusheng, who realized that he had slipped the tongue, turned around immediately, only to find a young man with an old housekeeper standing there impressively, not knowing how much he had heard.

"No... I didn't say 'success'. You heard it wrong, layman?"

Faced with Zhang Chusheng's stammering denial, Pei Hong didn't continue to ask, but bowed respectfully to the other party.

"Don't be alarmed, boy, I'm Pei Hong, he is Pei Wende's elder brother."

"I went up the mountain this time because I hope to meet Zen Master Lingyou and Wende, and I won't do any other unnecessary things."

Blinking his eyelids in confusion, Zhang Chusheng looked at Pei Hong, who was full of dignity but extremely humble, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, through Wen Wende's precepts and deeds during this period, his inferiority complex and tension caused by social class gradually disappeared, so he quickly reacted.

"You don't have to be so polite, you can just call me Chu Sheng."

"If you want to see my master and senior brother, call them as soon as I finish handling the matter here."

For Pei Hong's self-introduction, Zhang Chusheng did not fully believe it. He just kept a distance from him with a polite and almost "indifferent" attitude.

After all, no one knows what is going on with Pei Wende better than Zhang Chusheng.

Since he was a child, he went up the mountain with Zen master Lingyou. When he was a minor, he occasionally needed help from the villagers at the bottom of the mountain to survive.

In this way, even if Pei Wende really has an elder brother, the relationship is definitely not as good as imagined.

At the very least, Zhang Chusheng didn't think that a word of "brother" could break the 20-year gap between the two—especially for a stubborn person like Pei Wende.

"Uh……"

She never thought that after revealing her identity, she would receive such a treatment.

Pei Hong's expression was slightly awkward, just like when he first met Pei Wende in Ningxiang County, the other party seemed to express a similar attitude.

"you……"

On the contrary, it was the old housekeeper behind Pei Hong, who couldn't bear to see his master being humiliated, so he stepped forward and wanted to reprimand Zhang Chusheng for his "negligence".

It's just that just as the butler stepped out, a hand suddenly appeared on his back, followed by a suppressed cold voice.

"If you dare to take another step forward, believe it or not, I will cripple one of your legs."

Calm, indifferent, even a little careless...

The one who suddenly appeared behind the butler was none other than Xiaoqing in Tsing Yi and her hair in a bun.

"Miss Qing?"

Looking at Xiaoqing who appeared out of thin air with surprise on his face, Zhang Chusheng couldn't help but yelled.

It's not just because Xiaoqing suddenly appeared to save her from the siege.

It was because Zhang Chusheng knew in his heart that Xiaoqing, who was inseparable from Pei Wende, appeared here, which meant that the other party had really successfully crossed the tribulation.

"..."

Frowning slightly, Xiaoqing glanced at Zhang Chusheng's childish face, but still didn't correct what he called her.

Since the "Mirage Dragon Incident", Xiaoqing, who turned into a human form, has not hidden her existence anymore.

Occasionally, when Pei Wende's energy was low, Xiaoqing would appear in the temple with great reluctance at the other party's "true" request to help with complicated secular affairs.

At first, Zhang Chusheng had a hard time accepting this "stranger" who appeared suddenly.

It wasn't until a conversation with Pei Wende that Zhang Chusheng realized that this "stranger" actually knew him—because she was the green snake that appeared in the village and defeated the mandrill together with Pei Wende.

As for why Zhang Chusheng called Xiaoqing "Sister Qing"?
On the one hand, it is true that the appearance of the green snake is bigger than him, so calling "Sister Qing" is far more appropriate than other titles.

On the other hand, the three civet cat brothers called Xiaoqing that way, and Zhang Chusheng, who often accompanied and played with the three brothers, naturally called him that when he went to the countryside.

"Little lady, be merciful!"

Seeing that the old housekeeper's face began to twist, Pei Hong hurriedly apologized to Xiaoqing in a low voice.

"All of this is due to my lack of discipline, and I hope the young lady will not be as knowledgeable as a housekeeper like me."

Sighing helplessly, Pei Hong knew that this would happen.

As the so-called third-rank official in front of the prime minister, as a loyal servant who followed his father all the way up, the old butler is no longer a "servant" in the ordinary sense in all aspects.

In addition, the other party can be regarded as an elder who watched him grow up.

Rao is a direct family member in the mansion, and never dared to treat the old housekeeper as a real servant.

Over time, the already grumpy old butler naturally became a little domineering.

To be honest, if it wasn't for his father's insistence to take the old housekeeper with him when he went out, Pei Hong wouldn't be willing to take him up the mountain!
After all, with Pei Wende's personality, once the old housekeeper assumed the attitude of an elder, Pei Hong was almost sure that his younger brother would make him unable to eat.

What Pei Hong didn't expect was that the old butler paid the price for his recklessness before he even met Pei Wende.

"Humph!"

Seemingly seeing the helplessness in Pei Hong's eyes, Xiaoqing thought for a while, and then let go of the hand that "clamped" on the old housekeeper's shoulder.

"It hurts..."

It wasn't until this time that the old butler, who was almost in tears, dared to cry out.

After all, Xiaoqing's extremely cold killing intent was not fake.

The well-informed old butler has no doubts at all, the other party really wanted to cripple one of his legs just now - as long as he dared to say a word.

"Uncle Zhong!"

Hastily stepped forward to help the old housekeeper, Pei Hong really set his sights on the woman who appeared suddenly after confirming that he had suffered some serious injuries.

The simple dress exudes a cold aura, and the green snake hairpin on the top of the head is lifelike and agile...

With just one glance, Pei Hong was sure that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person.

[When did such a ruthless and ruthless character appear beside my younger brother? 】
