[Actually, this is what I'm worried about...]

Looking at Pei Wende, whose face was filled with happiness, Huiji blinked her eyes before he could speak.

[This is really a coincidence. Tongqing Temple has just registered and registered, and the ‘Buddhist Extermination Act’ has appeared in Tanzhou...]

Although there were ten thousand speculations in her mind, Huiji still did not choose to break Pei Hui's image in Pei Wende's heart.

Anyway, Pei Hui's love for Pei Wende is obvious to all.

Perhaps her various arrangements were indeed anticipated, but the ultimate goal was most likely to protect her younger brother.

"No, how did you know about the 'Law on Extermination of Buddhas'?"

At this moment, Pei Wende, who suddenly woke up, stared at Hui Ji, always feeling that he had caught something fishy about the other party.

"You don't care how I know, I'm just reminding you."

Angrily, she reached out and flicked Pei Wen's head, and Hui Ji decisively changed the subject.

"If you want to go down the mountain during this period, be careful not to provoke those government officials with unknown origins."

"Otherwise, even if Master and I are monks who have received ultimatums, and your sister has registered in Tongqing Temple in advance, we will inevitably encounter some difficulties."

Huiji knew Pei Wende's character well, and she also knew that Zen Master Lingyou, who had a close "father-son" relationship with him, would definitely not say such unpleasant words to him, so she could only give this advice herself.

"Tsk, I suddenly noticed that you seem to be becoming more and more mother-in-law."

Directly slapping Hui Ji's hand away, Pei Wende complained without caring at all.

"I'm not a three-year-old child. Why would I mess with the officials if I have nothing to do?"

Pei Wende told the truth, he just wanted to go down the mountain to see what happened in Zhangjiacun.

Why did Huiji say that he took the initiative to find trouble?

"Heh, how many times have you gone down the mountain without getting into trouble? Don't you have some clues in your mind?"

Smiling disdainfully, Huiji was not shy about detailing the troubles Pei Wende caused every time he went down the mountain.

Since coming back from Changsha County, although Pei Wende has not encountered existences of the level of tigers, red ghosts, and beauty heads, he still inevitably gets into some messy trouble every time he goes down the mountain.

Either they are indignant and forcefully help others, or they can't stand other people's pleas and help them exorcise ghosts...

In just half a year, most of the nearby villagers knew that there was a "little novice monk" in Tongqing Temple in Weishan who responded to all requests.

But he himself had no idea, or he didn't think his behavior was worthy of being publicized by others.

As a result, Pei Wende had unknowingly become a signature of Weishan Tongqing Temple, and even the incense in the temple became prosperous in a strange way.

"So the legendary 'little novice monk' lives on this mountain?"

Sitting in Butcher Zhang's yard, the young Taoist with a lazy face and a golden sword box on his back looked towards Weishan Tongqing Temple with an expression of interest on his face.

"I heard that the mandrill that appeared in your village was killed by him?"

Hearing the young Taoist's question, the outspoken Zhang Butcher was about to nod when his wife, who had been standing behind him, poked him in the back.

"Actually, we don't know what happened at that time."

Under Zhang Butcher's puzzled eyes, his wife slowly stepped forward and took over the topic.

"However, we watched that kid Wende grow up."

"Aside from being more courageous and warm-hearted, there is no way he can be a match for that monster."

"So how the monster died in the end is probably only known by the person who actually killed it."

Although she didn't say it directly, the meaning behind the words of Butcher Zhang's wife was already obvious.

Pei Wende definitely didn't kill the mandrill. He just happened to save the people in the village after the mandrill died.

"Well……"

I don't know whether he believed it or not, but the young Taoist priest didn't even turn his eyes, and his eyes still stayed in the direction of Weishan Tongqing Temple for a long time.

"Then let me ask you another question. Do you know Zen Master Lingyou from Tongqing Temple?"

"That is, the eminent Buddhist monk who raised that 'little novice monk'. Do you all know when he came to Tanzhou?"

Faced with this question from the young Taoist priest, Butcher Zhang's wife thought for a moment and didn't feel that there was anything to hide.

"If you count carefully, it should be seventeen years ago..."

"At that time, Tongqing Temple was just an uninhabited wild temple. It was occupied by homeless bandits all year round. They often came down the mountain to invade nearby villages..."

"It wasn't until Zen Master Lingyou showed up and sat outside Tongqing Temple for three days that he finally converted the evil bandits."

Speaking of this, Butcher Zhang's wife made no secret of her admiration for Zen Master Lingyou.

"Probation?"

However, the young Taoist priest who listened silently to the other party's story keenly captured a certain key word in the words of Butcher Zhang's wife.

"You mean, those homeless gangsters are still alive?"

There was a hint of surprise in his voice, and the young Taoist priest felt that this seemed to be different from some of the situations he had learned in advance.

"Of course, Zen Master Lingyou is an eminent Buddhist monk, so he can naturally influence those villains!"

Misunderstanding the surprise of the young Taoist priest, Butcher Zhang's wife behaved like all the star-chasing fans in later generations, acting confidently.

But Butcher Zhang, who was familiar with his wife, discovered that his wife seemed to be lying now?

Or to be more precise, his wife deliberately concealed something and did not tell the whole truth.

"It is true that Zen Master Lingyou is an eminent monk, but it is not certain whether he will be able to influence evildoers."

Just like before, the young Taoist priest did not expose Butcher Zhang's wife's concealment, but muttered as if he had discovered nothing.

Anyway, discovering Zen Master Lingyou here was just an unexpected gain, and the young Taoist priest had no intention of pursuing it further.

Whether it’s a mad monk who disrupts the law or a descendant of Baizhang...

After all, all the actions of Zen Master Lingyou are the grievances of the previous generation, and there is a natural gap and generation gap between him and the new generation such as young Taoist priests.

Rather, the existence of Zen Master Lingyou is more of a living "legend" in the eyes of young Taoist priests.

"Let me ask you one last question. Did those three little monsters run up the mountain to seek help from the 'little novice monk'?"

As soon as the young Taoist priest said this, the shocked wife did not say anything.

Butcher Zhang immediately stood up and stopped in front of his wife, and looked at the young Taoist priest who was still sitting motionless on the stool with a vigilant expression.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you."

Lifting his eyelids lightly, the young Taoist priest didn't care at all about Butcher Zhang's naked hostility.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have concealed your 'crime' of letting those three little monsters go in front of Chen Zhengdao."
