Weishan Tongqing Temple, under the waterfall in the back mountain.
When Pei Wende officially ended his morning classes for the day, the morning sun had already risen high and the time had reached around nine or ten o'clock in the morning.
But when he put on his shirt again and planned to return to Tongqing Temple, he was surprised to find that the little green snake did not send him away as usual.
"Xiao Qing?"
After calling out tentatively, Pei Wende stayed by the stream for a while, but never saw the shadow of the little green snake.
"Huh? Where did it go?"
Pei Wende couldn't help but frowned as he felt something ominous.
After nearly a year of getting along with each other, Pei Wende has already become familiar with the various habits and personality of the little green snake.
In addition to the foodie attribute that he has deliberately cultivated, indifference and arrogance are the nature of the little green snake, and they are also the instincts of most monsters.
For the little green snake, which is lazy by nature, it rarely leaves this pool of its own initiative unless something major happens.
At least in Pei Wende's impression, the little green snake would usually leave the pool and follow him down the mountain only on days when he was going down the mountain.
"Is it related to those three civet cats?"
Pei Wende, who was not stupid at all, quickly made associations and realized that this might be related to the three civet cat brothers who went up the mountain last night.
After all, the entire Weishan Mountain is so big. If there is any unexpected situation, it is probably only the three civet brothers going up the mountain.
"Did something happen down the mountain?"
Pei Wende, who felt vaguely uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and then muttered something softly.
"Could it be that some monster has appeared again?"
"The same thing happened with Tiger. How many seals did the old monk leave behind?"
"Why not get rid of all those monsters and monsters at once?"

"When are you planning to leave?"
At the same time, Hui Ji, who was copying scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction behind him after finishing copying the scriptures in his hand.
"..."
No one responded to Hui Ji's words, but his eyes were still staring firmly at the darkness deep in the Sutra Pavilion, as if he had been staring at some unknown existence.
In other words, Huiji did indeed see the being hiding in the darkness, but he was just a little unclear as to why he appeared here?
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become so cold all of a sudden?"
Then, with a deep sigh, a voluptuous and scantily clad woman slowly walked out of the darkness.
This woman is none other than the only survivor of the Weishan Fox Clan.
Back then, after witnessing the death of Taoist Zhenyang and Monk Yuande, the red fox demon disappeared for a long time.
According to Huiji's guess, she should have gone to Changsha County to find her relatives after learning that her cousin Hu Ruier left a half-human, half-demon posthumous son.
So Huiji is very confused now. Why would she abandon her nephew who has not yet grown up and come to Tongqing Temple to "reminisce about the past" with her?
What's more, Huiji thinks that the relationship with the other party should not be as "close" as imagined?
To put it bluntly, Huiji was semi-forced to force the other party to show up, and then follow him to find Monk Yuande.
Under those circumstances, it is no small miracle that the two of them did not fall out and become enemies.
"Red Fox, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"
With a thoughtful look in her eyes, Hui Ji gently put down the pen and ink in her hand, looking curiously at the red fox who was still posing.
"Hey! It's so boring..."
Seeing that Hui Ji still looked calm and relaxed, Chi Hu did not hide the disappointment on his face.
"I miss you, don't I?"
"There must be something wrong if I come to see you, right?"
She was obviously as spoiled as a little daughter, but there was a deep charm in Red Fox's smile.
Compared with the embarrassment when he met Hui Ji last time, the red fox now was obviously fully prepared. He no longer had the caution and fear when facing his "nemesis".
"Amitabha!"
Looking at the red fox opposite, Huiji couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name in a low voice.
"Red Fox, it's pointless if you say that!"
"Let's not say that your 'charm technique' is of no use to the young monk..."
"Even if it works, the young monk has already entrusted his body and mind to me, Buddha, and can no longer tolerate any mortal love."
Seeing this, Red Fox was speechless and silent for a moment.
Vaguely, Hui Ji seemed to taste a bit of sadness and helplessness from Red Fox's silence.
"Bald man, you're the one who's boring!"
But before Hui Ji could tell whether it was true or false, the determined Red Fox finally stopped posing and frowned instead.
"You don't eat the meat that comes to your door. You deserve to be targeted by those bastards from Qin Tian Prison!"
Before he finished speaking, all the charm on Red Fox disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, Red Fox, who had regained his composure, looked at the figure that was close at hand but far away in the horizon, and his expression became rarely serious.
"Hui Ji, take your master and junior brother and run away!"
As soon as these words came out, Huiji's pupils suddenly tightened, and she was a little confused for a moment.
"Escape? What do you mean?"
Huiji asked herself, apart from "breaking my oath" to apologize to her parents, had she never done anything harmful to the world in her life?
Why did the red fox suddenly appear and make him run away quickly?
And it feels like I have done something bad and will be arrested by the government?
"Because the 'Buddhist Extermination Act' has arrived in Tanzhou, it will be too late if you don't escape."
Red Fox, whose voice was slightly deep and hoarse, said this, his tone filled with undisguised worry.
Although she didn't know what the "Buddha Extermination Law" was, she could tell from the name that it was definitely an order directed at monks, and it was very likely that it would affect the current Tongqing Temple.
Based on the information he had gathered, Red Fox felt that the monsters captured during this period might just be the targets affected by this order.
"This news was conveyed to me by someone from the Li family..."
"Before coming here, I also went out of my way to learn about the situation nearby, and I did find some clues."
When he said this, Chihu's voice paused slightly, as if he was reorganizing the words, hoping to make Huiji understand the importance of this news.
"Envoy Si Chen who was stationed in Tanzhou disappeared inexplicably some time ago, and the new envoy Si Chen was sent from Chang'an."
"According to the rumors I heard, the newly appointed Envoy Si Chen, in addition to investigating the reason for the disappearance of the previous Envoy Si Chen, seems to have a secret mission."
"This is also one of the reasons why monsters are rampant in Tanzhou during this period, because those monsters that were originally hidden were forced out by the practitioners of Qintian Prison."
Although Red Fox didn't find out what the secret mission was.
But based on the information that Li Yanran or passed to her, she can be sure that it is most likely the legendary "Death to Destroy Buddha".
"The law to destroy the Buddha?"
There was no time to even examine how Li Yanran got involved with Red Fox. Hui Ji, who was frowning, had obviously heard the term "Buddhist Extermination Law" for the first time.
"Yes, it's the 'Death to Destroy the Buddha' law!"
