The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 757 Leaving Jinshan Temple

After a stick of incense, outside the meditation room in the backyard of Jinshan Temple.

"You believed what she said?"

Sitting in the stone pavilion not far from the meditation room, Xiaoqing glanced at Pei Wende who was packing up his luggage, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"An old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and has a criminal record that he deliberately concealed. Do you believe what she says?"

His Xintong has never been a omnipotent supernatural power, it can only roughly judge Aunt Zhu's emotional ups and downs and state fluctuations.

Maybe Mrs. Zhu didn't lie in the process of describing it, but it's not sure that she was hiding something.

Or, when Mrs. Zhu told the whole incident, she intentionally or unintentionally beautified some of her actions, which he couldn't understand.

Anyway, Xiaoqing doesn't think what Mrs. Zhu said is all the truth.

"Believe it or not, does it make any difference?"

Raising his head slightly, Pei Wende, who was carefully choosing a sword, asked back.

"It's a fact that Zhu Yiniang was kidnapped, and it's also a fact that there are pig demons making trouble at the foot of the mountain..."

"As long as these two points are confirmed, the others are not as important as you think."

Before the words fell, Xiaoqing snorted coldly with disdain.

"Hmph, it's because of your character that you are manipulated by that old Jiang Hu at will."

"The old woman said that the pig demon originally lived in the forest, and it was because the Zhu family invaded its territory that it caused disaster."

"But as far as I know, there aren't any well-known pig demons near Jinshan Temple."

When she said this, Xiaoqing's expression didn't change much, but the unruliness and domineering in her tone were fully revealed.

To put it bluntly, the current Jinshan Temple and even Runzhou City are Xiaoqing's territory. She doesn't know when there will be another pig demon who dares to trample on the fields and destroy seedlings on her own territory.

"So, that's just guesswork by Mrs. Zhu and the villagers, isn't it?"

After simply waving the pig-killing knife in his hand, the quite satisfied Pei Wende nodded.

"What is the origin of that pig demon? Aren't you curious?"

Human beings are born with spiritual intelligence and nine orifices, and they are superior to ordinary beasts in all aspects.

Especially for a master of swordsmanship like Aunt Zhu who is close to Taoism, ordinary spirits and even monsters are not necessarily her opponents.

Under such circumstances, that pig demon dared to wait for an opportunity to kidnap Zhu Yiniang, and even changed the "redemption conditions" several times to provoke him, which is a bit abnormal no matter how you think about it.

"I'm really curious if it's useful? Anyway, you've already entered the set."

Even under Pei Wende's influence, Xiaoqing became more and more like a normal human being.

But on some matters, she still maintains her original views and attitudes - don't cause trouble if it's not necessary.

However, what Xiaoqing knows better is that Pei Wende is a moving broom star, even if he just stays quietly in the temple, he will have trouble finding him, let alone going down the mountain on his own initiative.

"Aren't you going to come down the mountain with me?"

Anyway, having been with Xiaoqing for so many years, Pei Wende immediately recognized the subtext in the other party's words.

"Why are you going down the mountain with you? To see you being cheated again?"

Looking at Pei Wende who was obviously stunned, Xiaoqing suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and said in a mocking way.

"If you don't go, don't go!"

"Anyway, in your current state, going there may be counterproductive."

Shrugging his shoulders indifferently, Pei Wende was complaining about Xiaoqing drinking too much early in the morning.

Although with Xiaoqing's physique, drinking can't really make her drunk, but it is indeed easy to magnify some thoughts in her mind.

Normal people are strong in wine and cowardly, but Xiao Qing is strong in wine and aggressive.

"Reaction? It's obvious that you yourself are too soft-hearted."

Didn't continue to entangle too much on this issue, after Xiaoqing habitually rolled her eyes, she decisively changed the topic.

"Jinshan Temple has gradually entered the right track, when do you plan to leave here?"

This is the most curious question Xiaoqing has had this year. How long does Pei Wende, the temporary abbot of Jinshan Temple, plan to serve?
As for whether Xiaoqing had other thoughts in her mind when she asked this question, maybe only she knows.

"It should be soon."

Slowly putting the butcher's knife in his hand into the scabbard, Pei Wende replied indifferently.

"Actually, I have been waiting for my brother's main body to come to me..."

"But judging from the current situation, he probably won't go up the mountain to find me."

What Huiji left behind in Jinshan Temple was just a body, while his body was recuperating in Yangzhou not far away.

After Pei Wende heard the news, he didn't continue to choose to look for him, but waited for him to come to him on his own initiative.

However, after waiting here for a full year, Hui Ji's body has never shown up, and Pei Wende probably knows what the other party is thinking.

"Have you spotted his whereabouts?"

She couldn't help raising her eyebrows, Xiaoqing knew that with Pei Wende's personality, if she wasn't 100% sure of this point, she would definitely not have said such certain words.

"A few days ago, before the autumn harvest started, Tie Gu spotted him and the red fox by the Yunliang River."

As if to confirm Pei Wende's statement, he saw a slightly bloated Thousand-Eyed Iron Gu flying from not far away, and then slowly landed on his fingertips.

"If he followed his normal pace, he would have already arrived at Jinshan Temple."

"But he didn't hurry, but traveled along the road, and even had the time to help some farmers harvest rice fields."

When he said this, Pei Wende paused helplessly in his tone.

"And just last night, Yingshen, who stayed in Jinshan Temple, quietly went down the mountain, presumably to see the main body."

Pei Wende didn't continue talking, because Hui Ji's statement was already obvious.

Maybe it's because he still has some troubles, or maybe it's because of another arrangement...

In short, Hui Ji did not choose to meet Pei Wende after confirming his situation, but left Jinshan Temple silently.

"You two brothers really have a tacit understanding..."

Although Xiaoqing, who has been a monster for more than 100 years, cannot understand this tacit understanding, it does not prevent her from expressing her contempt.

"By the way, the little bugs you refined seem to be very useful, so you can get me a batch if you have time?"

I have to say that Xiaoqing's ability to change the subject is still so clumsy.

But Pei Wende nodded cooperatively, and then replied with a smile.

"This is naturally no problem, let alone small bugs, even if you refine a batch of 'Iron Snake' as clones, it will be fine."

For today's Pei Wende, the appearance of Iron Gu is not limited to insects.

As long as Xiaoqing wanted it, it would not be a big problem to refine a "Steel Snake" in her likeness.
