[Old man, well done! 】
It was only then that Hui Ji on the side slowly recovered from the abdominal pain and secretly gave Zen Master Lingyou a thumbs up.
I just don't know whether Huiji is praising Zen Master Lingyou for his domineering speech just now, or whether the other party used the magical power of "Word Spirit" to severely injure Pei Hui.
"As expected, you are worthy of being the 'crazy monk who disrupted the law'. No wonder my father would hand over Wen De to you."
On the other side, Pei Hui barely regained her composure after a brief period of severe pain, and the tail behind her began to slowly sway.
"It seems that the conflict between you and me is destined to be irreconcilable..."
Pei Hui is very confident in her own strength, and today she will take Pei Wende back even if he robs her.
She didn't believe it. Even if the former mad monk was not seriously injured as rumored, could he still maintain the peak strength of his youth?
"Wait, how about we make a bet first?"
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Zen Master Lingyou, who was so domineering just now, suddenly changed his subject and his tone became softer and more relaxed.
"After all, no matter what happens to either of you or me, Pei Wende will not be happy."
"I think you don't want Pei Wende to really break up with you, right?"
It has to be said that Zen Master Lingyou's words hit Pei Hui's weak point at once, making her originally suspicious face suddenly look more thoughtful.
Pei Hui's original intention was just to take Pei Wende away to make up for her debt to him for the past sixteen years.
It's a pity that Pei Wende's character and choices were far beyond her expectations from the beginning, which is why things gradually developed to the current level.
Now Pei Wende has had initial contact with spiritual practice. Even if there is still a "back-up man" like Mandrill, Pei Hui does not think that he will live his life as a mortal.
Under this situation, if he hurt his master who had raised him for sixteen years, the whole thing would develop in the opposite direction to what he originally expected.
Pei Hui didn't like that the situation was completely out of control.
In addition, she was indeed not sure of defeating Zen Master Lingyou now, so she planned to listen to what the monk in front of her had to say.
"What are you going to bet on?"
After hearing Pei Hui's slightly hesitant compromise, the uneasiness in Zen Master Lingyou's heart finally faded away - it seemed that everything was due to his overestimation.
Pei Wende at the foot of the mountain should not be as dangerous as he thought.
At least there is no danger to his life, otherwise Pei Hui would not have the same attitude as he does now.
"It's very simple. I don't know what you have arranged at the foot of the mountain."
"But that was obviously a 'test' for Bui."
"If Pei Wende passes your 'test', then it is up to him to decide whether to go back."
"But if he fails your 'test', then even if I break my promise and get fat, I will definitely take him back with you."
"What do you think of this bet?"
Having said this, Zen Master Lingyou sighed slightly.
Because he suddenly discovered that his little apprentice and his whole family were not very economical.
Needless to say, Bui Wende himself, despite practicing with him for sixteen years, still has his surly and rebellious nature, and he can be called the representative of "lawlessness".
The same was true for his sister. She was an ordinary person with a mortal body sixteen years ago, but when they met again, she became the reincarnated body of Tianhu.
Plus the instigator of all this - Pei Xiu.
Zen Master Lingyou felt that he would be related to this family, which was simply a sign that he had run out of good luck in his life.
"The bet seems fine, but are you sure Wende will listen to you?"
Obviously, Pei Hui has completely understood Pei Wende's character after getting along with him for this period of time.
It's not that simple to get that guy to be obedient. Pei Hui feels that even Zen Master Lingyou, who is his master, may not be able to persuade that kid.
"This is not a problem. The reason why Jushi Pei asked Wende to follow him was to avoid trouble."
"But now that Master Pei has your luck and blessing, he is just around the corner to become a great minister. Naturally, bad guys don't have to avoid trouble here."
There was no intention of continuing to compete with Pei Hui. Zen Master Lingyou just calmly stated what he meant.
"When the current Holy One dies and the layman Pei who is dormant here 'hijacks the dragon and ascends to heaven', he will have to leave even if he doesn't want to leave."
Obviously he was talking about the supreme ruler of the world, but Zen Master Lingyou seemed to be talking about what the next village would eat today, and there was a strange plainness in his calmness.
"It sounds like you are not surprised at all that the emperor is about to die?"
Upon hearing Pei Hui's question, Zen Master Lingyou just shook his head with an indifferent expression, and did not feel any wavering emotions due to the other party's words.
"Buddhist temples occupy large amounts of land and embezzle official income..."
"Being annihilated by the imperial court is inevitable. I warned them before."
Speaking of this, Zen Master Lingyou paused for a moment as if in memory, and then spoke slowly.
"But it is also not a good thing that today's saints worship Taoism and destroy Buddhism and believe in the 'method of immortality' of alchemists."
Zen Master Lingyou has long taken a dim view of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to this barren land and taken the initiative to avoid the influence of the "Wuzong Law Difficulty".
"The royal family is a secular ruler, and every move affects the general trend of the world."
"If you continue to try to live forever with the power of golden pills and medicines and maintain your long-term rule, it is inevitable to suffer divine punishment."
As if she didn't expect that the old monk in front of her had such an opinion, Pei Hui was stunned for a moment.
"In other words, you anticipated the current situation before the emperor succeeded to the throne?"
Pei Hui murmured in disbelief. Of course, Pei Hui did not want to believe in Zen Master Lingyou's vision.
Judging from all the current signs, the other party did foresee the "legal difficulties" in advance.
"Is it Fate Tong?"
Pei Hui was keenly reminded of the six magical powers of Buddhism, because apart from that, Pei Hui could not think of anyone who could predict events decades from now with such certainty.
"The magical power of the past life is the magical power of the past life, and the wisdom of Prajna is Prajna wisdom. The two cannot be confused."
Shaking his head again to deny Pei Hui's idea, Zen Master Lingyou's tone was still so calm, as if he was not facing a demonic fox disturbing the world at this moment.
"I just caught some clues from His Majesty's character, and therefore left that place of right and wrong early."
Pei Hui couldn't help but close her narrow eyes slightly, concentrating. Pei Hui didn't believe what the old monk said at all.
As a famous Buddhist mad monk who once dominated the world, Lingyou was not as timid as he said.
Fortunately, Pei Hui did not intend to pursue those details. She only needed the current Zen Master Lingyou to keep his promise.
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
"If Wende loses the foundation of spiritual practice tonight, just come home with me and live a peaceful life as a mortal."
"On the contrary, I will promise you to let him stay in Weishan and continue to practice with you."
"But there is a premise for all this..."
"That is, before the 'legal disaster' affects Tanzhou, he must have enough ability to protect himself."
"Otherwise, when I come here again, I won't be as easy to talk to as this time."
