The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 684
When the rain subsides, the fire goes out.

The mirage dragon above the clouds finally dissipated the cloud, and transformed into a woman in Tsing Yi.

"..."

Bathed in the cunning moonlight, Xiaoqing stared at the forest below for a long time without speaking, until Pei Wende's figure appeared behind her out of thin air.

"You seem to be getting more and more irritable recently?"

There was no complaint or anger, only deep worry in Pei Wende's words.

Since returning from Chang'an, Pei Wende has noticed a change in Xiaoqing - she seems to be developing in a direction that she doesn't want to think about.

The alcoholism at the beginning was fine, but Pei Wende only thought that the other party was angry at his monk.

After all, Pei Wende is not a piece of wood, he can still feel Xiaoqing's friendship with him.

Therefore, after understanding this point, in order to prevent Xiaoqing from thinking wildly, Pei Wende always restrained himself from wearing monk robes and the number and occasions of reciting Buddhist scriptures.

And all he did was to try to maintain his state before he became a monk, so that Xiaoqing would not feel too strange.

However, with the passage of time, Wen Wende was shocked to find that things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Except for the fact that she was a little annoyed at the beginning, Xiaoqing just used the excuse of "drinking" to get out of her sight.

No longer staying in the back mountain of Tongqing Temple for a long time, but wandering around the whole Tanzhou, this is the ultimate goal of Xiaoqing's long-term alcoholism.

Until today, Wen Wende finally saw the other side of Xiaoqing that he never wanted him to see.

"Is there a problem with your practice?"

A little surprised, a little stunned...

I saw Pei Wende looking at the almost burned mountain forest under his feet, looking at the flesh and blood mixed with rainwater, and asked in a slightly heavy tone.

If it were Xiaoqing a year ago, she might have killed these monsters who invaded her territory, but she would never use such a cruel and brutal method.

To Xiaoqing, killing is just a way to solve problems, and she doesn't feel any joy about it.

But in the battle just now, Xiaoqing clearly had the feeling of being immersed in killing, just like those demons who have fallen into the evil way, pursuing the pleasure of killing.

"When did it start?"

Glancing at Xiao Qing who had been silent for a long time, Pei Wende asked again solemnly.

"About a year ago!"

This time, Xiaoqing finally did not keep silent.

"After returning from Chang'an, I found that my temper became more and more out of control."

As a big demon who has practiced for a hundred years, Xiaoqing belongs to that kind of indifferent, even cold-blooded existence.

Not to mention that her temper is so uncontrollable, she even rarely loses her temper, and most of the time she just dismisses it.

"Because of me?"

Never thought that such a thing would happen to Xiaoqing, Wen Wende asked with some self-blame.

If he had known that his becoming a monk would lead to such a result, Pei Wende might have weighed more carefully whether it was worth it.

"It's not all because of you, most of the reason is that there is a problem with my own practice."

The corner of her mouth curled slightly, but Xiao Qing didn't show too obvious sadness about her change.

For Xiao Qing, who was born with nature, there is actually not much difference between indifference and bloodthirsty, they are just a manifestation of her extreme emotions.

The reason why Xiaoqing didn't want Pei Wende to discover the changes in her body was because she knew that Pei Wende would definitely not be able to accept a cruel, bloodthirsty monster Taoist couple.

In fact, before today, Xiaoqing was quite successful in concealing her own changes.

Using alcoholism to suppress her irritable and bloodthirsty emotions, most of the time Xiaoqing was able to barely maintain her original image in front of Pei Wende.

It's a pity that the short-lived Buddha's light on the Buddha bone and this group of monsters who don't know what to do makes Xiaoqing's efforts in the past year in vain.

The short-lived Buddha's light greatly stimulated Xiaoqing's monster nature, and those monsters who came after that aroused Xiaoqing's anger.

With the superposition of two or two, this is the tyrannical and bloodthirsty red dragon that Pei Wende saw.

"Do I need to do something?"

Without asking such idiotic questions as "Why didn't you tell me", Wen Wende chose to stand silently behind Xiaoqing and support her just like every time before.

If one day, Xiaoqing will really become a demon who is always immersed in the pleasure of killing.

Maybe all Pei Wende can do is to seal it and stay by her side forever, right?
As for killing Xiaoqing completely?
This option did not exist in Pei Wende's choice from the very beginning.

Although Pei Wende has the idea and vision of doing good and accumulating virtue, he is far from achieving the level of righteousness and killing relatives.

[Perhaps this is also the biggest difference between me and Fa Hai? 】

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and Pei Wende, who still can't call himself "Fahai" today, thought of it like this.

The relationship between good and evil is often inferior to the difference between closeness and closeness. This is the difference between ordinary people and Buddhas.

"What do I have to do?"

"Besides this, don't you have any other ideas?"

Can't help but glance at Pei Wende, Xiao Qing seems a little surprised at the calmness shown by the other party.

Compared with Xiaoqing's expected result of "destroy relatives with righteousness" or "destroy righteousness", Pei Wende's performance at this moment is really a bit too calm.

"What can I think?"

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Pei Wende asked back angrily.

"Do you want me to seal you on the spot? Or should we just cut off our friendship?"

"The road to practice is long and long. Who hasn't encountered a demon or two?"

"Even when I was crossing the tribulation, I was almost invaded by the heart demon and turned into a heretic heavenly demon."

"What's more, you are still following the 'Dan Zhuan Dao' that ordinary people have never walked before. It is perfectly normal to encounter some problems."

Taoist practitioners regard the method of "Nine Turns Golden Elixir" as the highest method, which is the way of practice summed up by countless Taoist ancestors with their blood and lives.

Even if Xiaoqing has the assistance of the spiritual light of inheritance of "returning to the burial lineage", it is not that simple to find her own path on this basis.

"Demon? You haven't told me about this?"

However, unlike Pei Wende's imagination, Xiaoqing seems to care more about the "inner demon" mentioned in the dialogue.

Before today, Xiaoqing only knew that Pei Wende also practiced "The Way of the Demon and Buddha", but the other party did not mention that he also encountered a demon during the tribulation.

"Well, it doesn't matter..."

Suddenly realizing that he had slipped his tongue, Pei Wende blinked his eyelids, and then forcibly changed the subject.

"Compared to this, you haven't said where your problem is?"

"Although I'm not a land god like the Yang God of the other side, it's better for the two of you to figure out a way together than you have been groping quietly all the time!"
