The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 394

There are three poles in the sun and three quarters in the afternoon.

When Pei Hong and Steward Zhong went back down the mountain, there were a few more people behind them as expected.

Needless to say, Pei Wende, after learning all about the "Stone Girl Incident", he, who is not a hard-hearted man, naturally chose to go down the mountain without hesitation.

Regardless of whether Sun Xiaoya turned into a ghost because of vampires or not, what happened to her alone was enough for Pei Wende to personally chant sutras for her.

As mentioned again and again in the previous article, Wen Wende never thought of himself as a bodhisattva who saves suffering and suffering, he just acted purely according to the goodwill in his heart.

In this ignorant and dark chaotic world, Pei Wende's practice may not be able to save all sentient beings, but it can light a bright light for other people who want to be bright.

——Saving one person in this body is one person, and saving a hundred people is enough for this life!
Since Pei Wende has chosen to go down the mountain, Xiaoqing will naturally not continue to stay on the mountain alone.

It's just that, just like before, she, who is not used to contacting strangers, did not go down the mountain in human form, but turned into a small blue snake and wrapped herself around Pei Wende's body.

Only the occasional snake head protruding from the collar shows that she is always paying attention to everything happening around her.

Especially Pei Hong, who casts curious glances at him from time to time, Xiaoqing really doesn't trust this slippery, sophisticated, and extremely well-established human being.

The guy obviously guessed something.

At least it's not like the old butler at the side, who just treats himself as an ordinary Zhuyeqing.

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

"It's fine with you, why did they follow us down the mountain?"

On the trail leading down the mountain, Pei Wende first took a look at Zhang Chusheng who was following behind him, and then turned his attention to Zou Qiwu and his daughter who were not far away.

Especially the little girl called "Yue'er", at this moment she made no secret of her curiosity, and kept her gaze on Pei Wende for a long time.

In the other party's eyes, Pei Wende seemed to be a rare and strange beast.

"Uh, isn't Master afraid that you will cause trouble again? That's why he asked me to go down the mountain together to watch you."

Scratching his head in distress, Zhang Chusheng could understand Zen Master Lingyou's approach.

After all, with him by Pei Wende's side, no matter what he did, he would take his own existence into consideration so as not to cause too much trouble.

The only thing that makes Zhang Chusheng feel a little uncomfortable is that this way of treating himself as a "safety bolt" will make Pei Wende cast "malicious" gazes at him from time to time.

"As for Uncle Zou..."

Without waiting for Zhang Chusheng to explain, Zou Qiwu, who is very cheerful, stepped forward and smiled.

"In addition to being on the way, it's also because I'm curious, what kind of person did that child grow up to now?"

"Is it worth the high price I paid to 'steal' him out of Chang'an?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Pei Wende was stunned, but even Pei Hong couldn't help turning his head to look at Zou Qiwu.

On the contrary, the loyal housekeeper, who had been silent since Zou Qiwu's appearance, seemed to know some inside information and didn't say much.

"Steal it out?"

Blinking his eyelids involuntarily, Pei Wende realized that the burly man in front of him who didn't look like a businessman actually had some sort of connection with him.

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"To be honest, I also felt incredible when I saw you."

Looking at Pei Wende with a smile on his face, Zou Qiwu, who seemed to have the natural ability to resolve certain embarrassments, continued.

"The time I have known your master is longer than you can imagine."

"As early as when I was young, I met Zen Master Lingyou who had just arrived in the capital."

"At that time, I was still a beggar who almost starved to death on the streets of Chang'an, and Zen Master Lingyou was just a wandering monk who had just inherited the mantle of Zen Master Baizhang."

Following Zou Qiwu's narration, some things about Chan Master Lingyou's youth gradually emerged in Pei Wende's mind.

At that time, Zen Master Lingyou was still very young and energetic, and he made a great wish that he would use his feet to measure the territory of the Tang Dynasty and do a great cause as a "wandering monk".

It was at that time that Zou Qiwu got acquainted with Zen Master Lingyou, and the friendship between the two parties has continued to this day.

"Zou was rescued by a Zen master at the beginning, and he continued his life with the grace of a meal..."

"Afterwards, I was lucky enough to be given the name by the Zen master. After that, I changed my luck and started doing business everywhere. Only then did I have the family property I have today."

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

At the same time, in the meditation room in the backyard of Tongqing Temple.

Chan Master Lingyou, who was meditating, opened his eyes suddenly and laughed as if he heard Zou Qiwu's voice.

"Haha, that guy is really embarrassed to say that in front of juniors!"

"That name was clearly 'robbed' from me by you, and even the bowl of vegetarian food was 'stolen' from me by you..."

The memory seems to have returned to Chang'an 30 years ago. Zen Master Lingyou still remembers the stubborn boy who fainted from hunger at the gate of the temple.

He was obviously abandoned in Chang'an by his own foreign tribe, but he didn't mean to give up on himself at all. Instead, he abruptly changed his Tibetan language into fluent Mandarin.

"The phoenix does not live in anything other than a phoenix tree, it does not eat unless it is a bamboo tree, it does not drink from a pure spring."

"Stop what's wrong, it's for not fighting."

"I originally just practiced, but since then, I have felt it."

"Who would have thought that you would abandon your original name and use the word 'Qiwu' to express your ambition."

Recalling that period of time in the past, Chan Master Lingyou showed a look of nostalgia on his face.

"The phoenix inhabits the phoenix tree, and will be rewarded with wealth and honor throughout its life."

"Old man Zou, old man Zou, you are living up to your name now, and you have realized your ambition."

The greatest wish of Zou Qiwu, who was once fearful of poverty, is to eat all the delicacies and wear silk and satin, so that his children and grandchildren will no longer experience the poverty he once experienced.

From this point of view, Zou Qiwu, who is now extremely wealthy, can be said to have fulfilled this long-cherished wish perfectly.

"It's a pity that in the past 20 years, the sea has changed..."

"Back when you, I, and Dan Chenzi traveled together in Chang'an, we almost ignored all obstacles."

"But up to now, you are the only one who truly fulfills your long-cherished wish."

"Dan Chenzi is paranoid and obsessed, and wants to kill me for revenge."

"Now I don't know where I am, and I don't know if I'm still alive in this world."

"Monk, I am hiding in the mountains, living in seclusion in the mountains, and I can only continue my life in this small meditation room..."
