The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 584 Pei Wende's Reputation
"The boy is not a distinguished guest, but just a passerby who happened to pass by here."

This "streaming light" that descended from the sky was none other than Pei Wende who had been following the battle between Abbot Yongci and Taoist Five Colors just now.

"Passers-by?"

Abbot Yongci didn't continue to dwell on this issue whether it was a novelty or what Pei Wende said.

After all, he let Qiong Jun leave before, maybe he was worried about Pei Wende's position, fearing that the other party was a practitioner who came to Qiong Jun like the five-color Taoist.

Now that Wen Wende clearly stated his position, Abbot Yongci, who was already injured himself, naturally didn't want to cause trouble.

Besides, I don't know if it is the illusion of Abbot Yongci, when he sees Pei Wende, he will always have a sense of familiarity.

This kind of familiarity did not come from familiarity among acquaintances, but from the feeling that he might have heard of Pei Wende somewhere.

"May I ask, where do the guests come from?"

After pondering for a moment, Abbot Yongci suddenly asked again.

"Me? I'm from Tanzhou, and I've just arrived in Chang'an not long ago."

Without concealing his origin, Pei Wende answered Abbot Yongci's question very calmly.

Because Pei Wende came to Ci'en Temple this time to find the clues left by Hui Ji, and there was no need to hide anything.

Coupled with the conversation between Abbot Yongci and Taoist Five Colors that he heard before, Wen Wende already understood that the relationship between Ci'en Temple and his senior brother is actually not as bad as it seems on the surface.

"Tanzhou? Are you Pei Wende?"

The dazed look flashed by, and Abbot Yongci finally understood why he felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar.

The face is immature, the figure is strong, and the rosary is worn on the neck...

Except for the lack of the dogleg knife and compound bow that Hui Ji mentioned, the features of the young man in front of him perfectly matched all the features of the "King of Ming Dynasty".

"Huh? Senior brother mentioned me to you?"

This time it was Pei Wende's turn to look at Abbot Yongci in surprise.

Although Pei Wende never thought of concealing his identity, he also didn't think that Abbot Yongci could recognize him at a glance.

However, considering that Hui Ji dared to leave Qiong Jun in the Temple of Mercy and entrust Abbot Yongci to take care of him, it seems that it is not surprising that the other party can recognize his appearance.

"It's you who underestimated your own reputation. Since the practice of cultivation became popular, there are not many existences who can be called the 'King of Ming Dynasty'."

Smiling and shaking his head, he denied Pei Wende's statement, although Abbot Yongci heard Hui Ji mention his junior brother.

But what really made him care about Pei Wende was not because of this, but because of the actions of the other party in Tanzhou.

"Successfully killed Fudou before becoming a golden body, and killed a disaster that swept Tanzhou in its cradle..."

"After cultivating the golden body, he subdued demons and subdued evil spirits, and sealed the reincarnated body of a thousand-year-old demon Buddha..."

"Afterwards, he helped Qin Tianjian to investigate the case of the soul boy more than 20 years ago, completely destroying the intention of the fox in Qingqiu to 'come into the world'..."

"What's more, you made a lot of noise when you crossed the tribulation in Fengzhuang a few days ago. It has long been rumored in Chang'an that you sneaked into Chang'an in order to save your senior brother."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Wende finally understood his reputation in the outside world, and he was no longer the fledgling kid back then.

"Uh, I thought I hid it well, so you guys already knew about it?"

With a somewhat embarrassed smile, Pei Wende muttered rather guiltyly.

In addition to Zhao Guizhen who "helped" before, all the practitioners inside and outside Chang'an have noticed his existence?

"Actually, it's not just us 'outsiders'. Your reputation above the court is actually quite loud."

After gradually becoming familiar with Pei Wende's character, Abbot Yongci once again uttered a fact that shocked him.

"Collecting the disaster victims in Ningxiang, resettling the people, and passing on the merits to my elder brother, such a big matter can't be hidden from the people above the court."

"Especially when the county magistrate Pei went to Beijing to receive credit, thanks to Mr. Pei Xiu's previous connections, otherwise he would not receive credit but a crime."

It is a serious crime in any dynasty to transfer the authority of a county Yin to a mountain boy, and let him collect the victims and resettle the people.

Even if it turned out afterwards that Pei Hong's choice at that time was indeed right.

But I can't stand that those officials rely on reporting local officials for a living. Naturally, it is impossible to let such an obvious mistake go.

"Pei Hong? They also returned to Chang'an?"

Frowning slightly, Pei Wende realized that Pei Hong and the others had also returned to Chang'an.

Although Pei Wende intentionally staggered the time with them after failing to recognize his relatives, he followed Zou Qiwu back to Chang'an ahead of schedule.

But Pei Hong and the others were able to return to Chang'an so quickly, which indeed greatly exceeded Pei Wende's expectations.

With the city and skills shown by Mr. Pei, they would rush back to Chang'an in such a hurry, which in itself is a very interesting thing.

From this, Pei Wende seemed to sense some ominous signs.

"Yes, they returned to Chang'an just half a month ago."

Nodding affirmed Pei Wende's surprise, Abbot Yongci didn't seem surprised at all.

As a witness to the "spiritual child case" 20 years ago, Pei's family was demoted to Tanzhou because of this, and almost died.

This time, he has cleared his grievances and gained another great achievement. It is human nature to return to Chang'an in a hurry.

Of course, the above views are all based on the fact that Abbot Yongci did not know that "Pei Wende was the Earth Dragon back then" and that "Pei Hui controlled everything behind the scenes".

[It seems that Li Gang has hidden a lot of things. 】

Pei Wende, who knew this well, didn't ask too much, but became curious about why Li Gang concealed these things.

After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, there is no need for Li Gang to cover up for himself and Pei Hui.

In other words, Li Gang was not covering for the Pei family, all of this was just a matter of convenience.

So what is Li Gang's real purpose?What is he hiding?

"Speaking of which, you came to Ci'en Temple this time because of your senior brother?"

Just as Pei Wende was thinking about what Li Gang's purpose was, Abbot Yongci, who was completely relieved, asked again.

"Well, that's it!"

Seeing this situation, Pei Wende, who woke up from his contemplation, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"If the abbot doesn't mind, can you tell me about the relationship between my brother and your monastery?"

"And what happened to that monk Qiong Jun?"

"In addition, although it is unlikely, I would like to ask if my senior brother has deliberately explained anything?"
