At the end of the month, in the back mountain of Tongqing Temple in Weishan.
Now more than half a month has passed since Dan Chenzi attacked Weishan. The number of pilgrims who came here has gradually decreased, and Tongqing Temple has finally returned to its previous peace.
"Master, are you really not worried about your junior brother's whereabouts?"
After receiving the pilgrims again, Hui Ji looked at Zen Master Lingyou who was standing in front of the waterfall in the back mountain and asked with a sullen expression.
"What's there to worry about? He's not a child anymore."
Calmly turning the rosary beads in his hand, Zen Master Lingyou was silently staring at the still flowing waterfall not far away, without showing any expression of worry.
"Wende has his own opportunities this time, and too much interference will not be a good thing for him."
Hearing this, Huiji rolled her eyes angrily and exposed Zen Master Lingyou's "lies" with just one word.
"Old man, why are you pretending to be in front of me?"
"If you are really not worried about junior brother, what are you doing standing here now?"
Since the day Pei Wende "disappeared", Zen Master Lingyou likes to come to the waterfall in the back mountain to stay when he has nothing to do.
Either he was meditating in the Zen room built by Pei Wende, or he was studying the various weapons and automated equipment that Pei Wende built in his spare time...
Huiji didn't believe that Zen Master Lingyou was just here for sightseeing.
In a sense, the relationship between Zen Master Lingyou and Pei Wende is not that of father and son, but how can they not be worried about Pei Wende who has not shown up for more than half a month?
However, Zen Master Lingyou is a truly stubborn old man. No matter how worried he is, he will definitely not show it.
"I just think the back mountain is a little quieter."
Turning his head and glaring at Hui Ji, Zen Master Lingyou was not polite at all to his two careless disciples.
"But you, if you don't greet the pilgrims in the temple, why are you here?"
Upon hearing Zen Master Lingyou's question, Huiji just shrugged indifferently, and then continued.
"I'm not the abbot of the temple, and I can't receive some pilgrims."
As soon as these words came out, Zen Master Lingyou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice as if he remembered something.
"Is someone from the government here?"
Under the current situation, apart from people from the government, Zen Master Lingyou could no longer think of a second possibility that could make Huiji feel a little troublesome.
"When there was such a big commotion before, it would be strange if the government didn't come!"
In addition to the most eye-catching Buddha's light and thunder, the recent battle with Dan Chenzi had a far-reaching impact that had already spread to the entire Tanzhou.
If nothing else, the continuous rainy days in the past month are the sequelae of that war.
The air flow caused by the disturbed ground veins rose, forming a short-lived cyclone directly over Tanzhou, continuously affecting the moisture, humidity and rainfall in this area.
Not to mention, the fluctuations in vitality caused by the battle between Hui Ji and Dan Chenzi can be clearly seen by all practitioners in Tanzhou.
The people of Qintian Prison are not fools. It took them half a month to get to Weishan, which in itself shows how seriously they take this incident.
"Who is coming?"
After frowning slightly, Zen Master Lingyou asked curiously.
In today's Tanzhou, the power of Qin Tianjian has long been reduced, so Zen Master Lingyou is very curious about who will deal with Tongqing Temple this time.
"A young man claims to be the newly appointed envoy of Tanzhou Sichen."
When saying this, Huiji paused briefly before continuing to explain.
"But he carries a sword on his back, a sword forged with the power of the Big Dipper."
Without Huiji's further reminders, Zen Master Lingyou immediately understood the identity of the visitor.
"Is it the Li Gang who fought with Wen De during the siege?"
Pei Wende did not hide anything about the events he had experienced, and Zen Master Lingyou naturally became aware of Li Gang's existence.
Practicing the Tiangang Twelve Methods of Chongxuan Dao, holding the Tiangang Divine Sword made by the national master Zhao Guizhen...
Such a person is destined to become a ruthless character who is famous all over the world. Even if Zen Master Lingyou doesn't care, he has already remembered it in his heart.
Especially the Tiangang Divine Sword in Li Gang's hand, which was the masterpiece of Zen Master Lingyou's old rival. Its symbolic significance is definitely not inferior to its lethality.
"It seems that I really have to go and receive it in person."
Zen Master Lingyou thoughtfully stopped turning the rosary beads in his hand, took one last look at the waterfall in the back mountain, and then decisively turned around and walked in the direction of Tongqing Temple.
"I didn't expect that before I passed away, I would have the opportunity to see an old friend from my youth..."
"I just hope he's not like Dan Chenzi, who fights and kills whenever he meets someone."
Watching Zen Master Lingyou leave, Huiji could vaguely hear her master's murmurs of joy or sorrow.
[Old man, you are indeed old. 】
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Not long after Zen Master Lingyou left the back mountain waterfall, the red fox with enchanting figure and charming temperament suddenly appeared in the jungle not far away.
"Why don't you tell him your decision?"
As he approached Huiji step by step, the natural charm of Red Fox also transformed into a gentle and elegant temperament.
This was Chi Hu's intention to restrain her charm in front of Hui Ji. Anyway, she already knew that the monk in front of her was basically immune to her charm.
Instead of continuing to waste his goodwill in Hui Ji's heart, why not behave more gently, maybe the other party will just like this?
As for whether Red Fox is imitating Li Yanran, who also has a crush on Hui Ji, only God knows.
"..."
Seeing through Red Fox's little thoughts at a glance, Hui Ji could only smile helplessly.
——There are all kinds of causes and effects in life, but love is the hardest to bear.
Hui Ji knew this truth very well, but she couldn't stop Chi Hu from being so shameless.
"Now is not the time. At least we have to wait until my junior brother comes back."
Without thinking about this issue for too long, Huiji turned around and explained softly.
"I do want to enter the DPRK to gain power and use this to spread my thoughts and ideas."
"But my current thinking is not mature yet, and getting involved in power struggles prematurely will do a lot of harm but no good."
"What's more, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times in ancient times. Naturally, it's not that simple for Qin Tianjian to ask me to come out."
Perhaps he also knew that he did not behave like a monk. When Hui Ji said this, the bitter smile on his face became more intense.
"The mere position of Si Chen Shi cannot impress me. The Tripitaka Sutra of Ci'en Temple is what I really want."
