I don't know about the battle happening deep in Weishan.
In the next few days, Pei Wende continued to practice morning meditation and martial arts as usual.
The only difference from the past is that there is a newly built meditation room next to the waterfall where Pei Wende conducts morning classes, as well as a chattering onlooker.
"I said, do you have nothing to do? Stay here all day long?"
Pei Wende, who was sitting under the waterfall, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then opened his eyes and looked at Pei Hui who was playing the piano on the shore.
Since Pei Wende confirmed the authenticity of Pei Hui's identity from Zen Master Lingyou, she openly approached him under various excuses, trying to persuade him to follow her home and recognize her relatives.
The result is naturally conceivable. Although Pei Wende admitted the identity of the other party's blood relative, he still had no intention of changing his mind.
In Pei Wende's eyes, Zen Master Lingyou, who had been raising him, was his real family, and the Pei family had no right to influence his thoughts and future.
"Otherwise? Dad asked me to come to Weishan this time just to take you back."
"I will definitely not leave until you agree to come home with me."
Placing her hands on the seven-stringed piano, which looked very precious at first glance, Pei Hui said calmly in a habitual leisurely tone.
"What's more, the Pei family has strict rules. It's hard for me to come out just once, so naturally I want to do something I want to do."
Hearing this, Pei Wende slowly stood up from the rock and glanced at the newly built Zen room behind Pei Hui.
"So, what you want to do is not live in the wing that the old monk arranged for you, but instead ask me to help you build a Zen room?"
It is said to be a Zen room. In fact, except for the word "Zen" written on the door, this Zen room is not the same concept as a Zen room in the conventional sense.
Among other things, those "tap water" systems built using bamboo, wood, ropes, and simple water pumps are not something that should be available in this era.
By directly pumping water from the waterfall, the simple but exquisite "tap water" system can fully realize the most basic water collection and shower functions.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that the terrain of the waterfall is higher than that of the Zen room.
Otherwise, the simple water pump made by Pei Wende will not be able to provide such strong pressure for the time being and directly send the flowing water from the lower areas to the highlands.
Even so, Pei Hui has also experienced a "high-tech" enjoyment in these days that is absolutely impossible to have in this era.
"Speaking of this, you should be holding me back."
Through these few days of getting along, Pei Hui and Pei Wende had already become familiar with each other, so the conversation was not as unacceptable as it was at first.
"If it weren't for me, Zen Master Lingyou probably wouldn't have let you build this 'zen room' at all!"
It was clearly a question sentence, but Pei Hui adopted an affirmative tone here.
Because what she said was true, Zen Master Lingyou had long known that Pei Wende wanted to improve the living environment of Tongqing Temple, but he had been consciously suppressing his idea of laziness and enjoyment.
Instead, he used all kinds of hard labor to train his body and will.
It was this time when Pei Hui went up the mountain that Zen Master Lingyou made an exception and agreed to Pei Wende to build such a Zen room with a "tap water system" to temporarily accommodate Pei Hui, who did not want to live in the temple.
"So, you'd better go home with me!"
"As long as you are willing to come home with me, I will fully support you in realizing those fantastic ideas and design plans!"
On the first day when Pei Wende built this Zen room for himself, Pei Hui took the time to go to the Sutra Pavilion and look at the design drawings of the strange devices he had drawn over the years.
Although Pei Hui didn't quite understand the principles of those things, he could clearly see their effects.
For example, a "self-driving car" with two or three wheels driven by a strange chain and gears...
Or there are large keel waterwheels that can send water from low places to high places, and giant windmills that can convert wind power into power...
Another example is those "precision timers" that are composed of various precise and complicated small devices that are configured and combined together...
If Pei Wende hadn't personally admitted that those things were just paper designs and he might not be able to make them, Pei Hui would have wanted to cut open the other person's head to see what was inside?
Pei Hui thought with pride that even the legendary craftsman Lu Ban might not have as many fantastic ideas as his younger brother, right?
"It sounds like you are a wealthy person."
Rolling his eyes weakly, Pei Wende adjusted his breathing rhythm while refuting Pei Hui's statement angrily.
"Those design drawings are just design drawings. How to get the materials to make those things is the top priority."
In today's era, some very simple designs and objects in later generations cannot be made due to material problems.
For details, please refer to Pei Wende's previous compound bow. Just getting a qualified metal spring and gear almost drove Gu Changfeng crazy.
"Those materials that are far ahead of this era are what really cost money and are affordable by ordinary people."
At this point, Pei Wende's voice paused slightly, and then he sighed in a slightly regretful tone.
"And a person's energy is limited after all. I have now found something that is truly worth devoting myself to..."
"If you really want those 'toy' designs, just take them all with you when you go back."
As soon as these words came out, a look of regret or regret suddenly flashed across Pei Hui's face.
"You still refuse to go back after all!"
Pei Wende rejected him in such a roundabout way, so the smart Pei Hui would not fail to hear it.
"That's natural. After all, I don't have any feelings for you."
Seeing that Pei Hui was still so stubborn, Pei Wende, who was bearing the pressure of the waterfall, simply said something more decisive.
"In my opinion, you are just a stranger who suddenly appeared in front of me."
"If there hadn't been an old monk to mediate, you and I probably wouldn't have anything to say."
Although this concept is completely different from the education Pei Hui received, she has gradually become accustomed to Pei Wende's various "rebellions" in the past few days.
Whether Pei Wende is willing to admit it or not, the fate that comes from blood and family ties is unbreakable.
Just like before, Pei Hui never imagined that one day she would be so patient in persuading someone who repeatedly rejected her. This was completely inconsistent with her birth and personality.
"If you really don't want to go back, I won't force you. Anyway, I can't stand what dad is doing."
"But as long as I stay in Tongqing Temple, I will be your sister. No matter how much you deny it, it's useless!"
After saying that, Pei Hui didn't give Pei Wende a chance to refute again, so she started playing the piano again, and sang while playing the piano.
"There are only a few people who have the same flesh and blood, but most of them are estranged over the years."
"Sooner or later we will meet again, and the sparrows will return in the warm spring."
