The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 53 Warning from the Forest

"How many people can the flesh and blood..."

Listening to the sound of playing and singing from the back mountain, Chan Master Lingyou fell silent for a while.

From the perspective of Zen Master Lingyou, although he was reluctant to leave Pei Wende, he also knew that Pei Wende's blood relationship could not be cut off no matter what.

For this reason, during the conversation with Pei Wende, Zen Master Lingyou had repeatedly persuaded him to let go of his grudge against the Pei family and follow Pei Hui home to recognize relatives.

However, after Pei Wende determined that it was not Zen Master Lingyou who contacted Pei's family, he entered the state of "the devil in the world" who was not allowed to get in. No matter how much he advised him, he still insisted on going his own way.

"Master, children and grandchildren have their own blessings!"

Gently pushing open the door of the Zen room, Hui Ji, who was in charge of delivering breakfast to Zen Master Lingyou, of course heard the other party's sigh, had no choice but to persuade him.

"Little brother is not the kind of person who has no opinion, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore."

Hearing this, Chan Master Lingyou opened his mouth hesitantly, but he seemed to have something to hide, but in the end he could only tell Huiji helplessly.

"Forget it, I just hope that you two can take care of each other after I pass away!"

When he said this, Chan Master Lingyou's tone didn't change in any way, but Hui Ji seemed to hear some ominous meaning from it.

"Hey, old man, are you trusting the wrong person?!"

So Hui Ji stared at her, turned around decisively and was about to leave, expressing that she would not take the blame.

"You should handle the younger brother's affairs yourself! I don't want to bring this oil bottle!"

Hearing the phrase "dead old man" that popped up suddenly, Chan Master Lingyou suddenly thought of the phrase "old monk" that Pei Wende often said on his lips.

"Hui Ji!"

Never expected Hui Ji to be assimilated by Pei Wende so quickly.

The corners of Zen Master Lingyou's eyes twitched unconsciously, and then he resisted the feeling of twitching veins and shouted angrily in a deep voice.

"Go to the Sutra Pavilion and copy the "Heart Sutra" ten times as a punishment. I want to read it before sunset!"

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

On the other side, after finishing his morning class.

Pei Wende quickly ran to the nearby grove to change out of his drenched clothes, turned around and walked down the mountain.

"Huh? Where are you going?"

Seeing this situation, Pei Hui, who was still playing the piano just now, couldn't help but stop, and asked loudly towards Pei Wende's back.

"Today is the Hungry Ghost Festival on July [-]th, I have to go down the mountain to buy something in advance."

Without turning his head and shaking his hands, Pei Wende continued to walk down the mountain on his own, and his pace became faster and faster, and soon disappeared from Pei Hui's sight.

In fact, although they lived in Tongqing Temple all year round, Wende Pei and Chan Master Lingyou did not really isolate themselves from the outside world.

Every holiday is a rare carnival day for master and apprentice.

According to the usual practice in previous years, Zen Master Lingyou will clean up the temple, while Pei Wende will go down the mountain in advance to prepare some ingredients and festival things.

In Pei Wende's own words, life must have a sense of ritual.

In this era when there is a lack of entertainment items, if you still live every day as a boring life day after day, then life is a bit too bleak!
Therefore, even though Zen Master Lingyou just watched Pei Wende "tossing around" silently at first, he was still infected by his actions after a long time.

Life is not just chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, but also some other new things that I have never experienced and tried.

This is the original intention of Chan Master Lingyou to practice Taoism, but he has gradually forgotten this point in his life of reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha all the year round.

It wasn't until he took Pei Wende to live in seclusion here that Zen Master Lingyou really found his original intention and his heart of practicing Taoism.

"July [-]th? Hungry Ghost Festival?"

It is not clear about the tacit understanding between Zen Master Lingyou and Pei Wende. At this time, only the three words "Hungry Ghost Festival" are constantly echoing in Pei Hui's mind.

"Is that... the time?"

Accompanied by these blurted words, Pei Hui's expression and temperament changed drastically at this moment.

If we say that the former Pei Hui was a mature woman with a strong personality who seldom cared about other people's thoughts, it fits the personality of "Pei's daughter".

So now Pei Hui is a gentle and quiet girl who looks full of agility and elegance.

"It's a pity, I obviously like life here very much."

Looking back with nostalgia at the meditation room specially built for her, Pei Hui slowly got up and walked around the lyre in front of her.

"But it's okay, after I bring you home, we'll have plenty of time to get along slowly."

The tone was soft and flat, but Pei Hui's eyes gradually became sharper, and they were far sharper than ever before.

"And this time, I won't let that old fool send you away again."

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

On the trail leading down the mountain.

"Did something happen in this mountain...?"

When Pei Wende walked out of the scope of Tongqing Temple, a familiar feeling of intimacy rushed to him from all directions in an instant.

At the same time, Pei Wende felt as if he had become a part of Weishan, or the entire forest of Weishan had become an extension of his perception.

As big as a tiger pouncing on it, as small as a grass swaying...

Pei Wende could sense it vaguely, which allowed him to perfectly avoid all kinds of dangers in the process of going down the mountain.

This was originally a certain ability that Pei Wende was born with, and he had long been accustomed to this extraordinary perception that was close to the sixth sense and intuition.

However, today, Pei Wende was surprised to find that there seemed to be some abnormality in this feeling of mountains and forests?

A faint sense of depression and suffocation is spreading in the mountain forest, as if something is causing danger to himself, and even the entire Weishan Mountain.

"how can that be?"

Staring in disbelief at the forest not far away, Pei Wende couldn't even imagine that if this abnormal crisis was real, what kind of disaster could cause such a crisis.

After all, even the scene of ghosts coming out of the cage and tigers roaring in Mulian Temple failed to bring such a strong sense of crisis to Pei Wende.

[Mountain fire?earthquake?Or a storm? 】

Several guesses flashed through his mind, and Pei Wende had a vague premonition in his heart.

The only good thing is that the faint sense of depression and suffocation has not yet reached the point where it cannot be ended. Pei Wende can feel that the whole Weishan is resisting this coming crisis.

Moreover, Pei Wende has a wonderful intuition telling him that this crisis may not only be a crisis for him, but more likely an opportunity.
