Weishan Tongqing Temple, inside the majestic main hall.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Zen Master Lingyou, who was sitting in front of the Third Buddha, rarely received any pilgrims. Instead, he was chatting with a dignified lady.
"Master, you asked the wrong question!"
"What you should ask is, has your apprentice made up his mind?"
She obviously looks like a lady, but the woman sitting opposite Zen Master Lingyou looks a bit seductive.
Because this woman is none other than Red Fox who has once again completed the "dressup PY".
"well!"
Sighing softly, Zen Master Lingyou knew that Hui Ji must have made up his mind when he heard Chi Hu's rhetorical question.
"It seems that this small Weishan Mountain cannot accommodate the giant Buddha after all."
Although he said this, Zen Master Lingyou couldn't help but show a little bit of relief despite being melancholy.
"But think about it, Hui Ji has been in the mountain for more than three years in the blink of an eye. It is indeed time to leave the mountain."
This time it was Red Fox's turn to look surprised. She originally thought that Zen Master Lingyou would stop Hui Huiji from going down the mountain.
After all, Huiji's trip down the mountain this time was not like Pei Wende's, who was just messing around near Weishan.
Once Huiji descends from the mountain, the dragon will enter the sea and the roc will ascend to the sky. It is destined to stir up a bloody storm in this world of great strife.
"Master, won't you stop him?"
Although he and Hui Ji were on the same side, Chihu couldn't help but ask the doubt in his heart.
"If it were you, that elm-headed man would listen more or less, right?"
Hearing this, Zen Master Lingyou suddenly smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed a touch of nostalgia.
"Shallow water can't trap a dragon, so why should I force him to stay?"
"What's more, I wasn't a peaceful guy when I was young. Why do I stop these young people when I get older?"
"Forty years ago, when I first started teaching, I knew that my master's ambition was to establish Baizhang's pure rules, rectify the order of Buddhism, and restore peace to the world."
"It's a pity that I am not my master after all."
“He put a burden into my hands, but I didn’t want to do it.”
"It took me nearly twenty years to finally achieve the name of the 'crazy monk who disrupts the Dharma', but it is far from the 'Baizhang Zen Master' he hoped for."
"Now, since Huiji is willing to inherit my master's unfinished legacy, it's too late for me to be happy, so why should I stop him?"
Listening to Zen Master Lingyou's slow narration, Chihu felt that he might never be able to understand the thoughts of these "big men" in this life.
"So, even if he has a narrow escape from death?"

At the same time, near the waterfall in the back mountain.
"Xiao Qing?"
After helping Pei Wende successfully achieve enlightenment, Huiji on the waterfall suddenly lowered his head and looked at the little green snake still entangled in the water.
"If I remember correctly, that's what my junior brother calls you!"
The next second, Hui Ji took a step forward lightly and appeared in front of Xiao Qing in an instant.
Or to be more precise, Hui Ji stood on the water in front of Xiao Qing as if walking on flat ground, causing faint ripples in the calm stream.
"hiss!"
There is no vigilance or fear.
Xiaoqing just stared at Hui Ji on the water with a puzzled face, not hiding her inner confusion.
Xiaoqing's existence is not a secret in Tongqing Temple, and Pei Wende has never concealed the existence of this green snake from Huiji and Lingyou.
It's just that Xiaoqing naturally likes peace and quiet and stays in the back mountain all year round, so there has never been any serious communication between the three.
"I'm not a junior brother, so I can't understand your snake language."
Seeing Xiao Qing just staring at her calmly, Hui Ji, who originally thought that the other person would be frightened, had no choice but to smile.
"I know you can talk, so let's stop pretending between the two of us!"
Hearing what Hui Ji said, Xiao Qing couldn't help but be stunned. Even the tail that had been wagging gently stopped wagging, which fully showed the shock in her heart at this moment.
"Do you need to be so surprised?"
"The old man never avoided you when he was teaching the Dharma."
"Even if you haven't heard all of the three rounds and seven meridians, you must have heard most of it, right?"
"Or do you think that the old man and I are fools, and we have been unable to find you who was 'eavesdropping' under the water?"
The method of three rounds and seven meridians is one of the most universal cultivation methods, and it is suitable for almost all "creatures" with symmetrical bodies to practice.
Especially a big demon like Xiao Qing who has a hundred years of experience.
Once the trick is discovered and led into the Tao, the three meridians and seven chakras are formed, and transformed into an innate human form, it is simply a matter of course.
"hiss!"
Xiao Qing, who was exposed to the "truth" by Hui Ji's words, immediately narrowed his eyes, but inadvertently glanced at Pei Wende under the waterfall.
For some unknown reason, Xiaoqing didn't want Pei Wende to know these things.
No matter if he can transform into a human form, he still maintains a snake body...
Or maybe he secretly stole the secret and hid it from the other party from the beginning...
"Tsk, it seems that my junior brother will have a hard time in the future!"
Seeing through Xiao Qing's little thoughts at a glance, Hui Ji didn't say anything. Suddenly she waved her hand and disappeared into the waterfall in the back mountain with Xiao Qing.

When Xiaoqing opened his eyes again, he and Huiji had already appeared in the backyard of Tongqing Temple.
To be honest, this is Xiaoqing's first time to officially step into Tongqing Temple, and his first time to see with his own eyes the place where Pei Wende lives all year round.
If we just look at the layout and appearance, this courtyard is no different from most of the courtyards Xiaoqing has seen before. They all look so ordinary and ordinary.
But Xiao Qing, who knew the inside story and practiced the art of Qimen Dunjia, saw the fishiness in it at a glance.
Whether it's the feng shui pattern of the yard or the two stone statues placed near the door, they all give people a very peaceful feeling.
Living here all year round may not lead to promotion or wealth, but it can subtly affect the character of the people who live here.
"Surprised?"
"To be honest, I was surprised at first."
"I knew that the old man valued Pei Wende, but I didn't expect that he would value him to this extent."
"Pei Wende has the power of the earth dragon in his body, and he is reincarnated with spiritual wisdom from his past life. He is born with a bad temper and is unruly."
"If the old man hadn't been suppressing the surly side of his character and leading him on the right path little by little, I'm afraid he would have either died in the wilderness or been causing trouble to the world."
