"call!"
When Pei Wende finished his morning classes for the day, a breath of turbid air slowly came out of his lungs, and it actually "pierced" the rushing waterfall like a substance.
Although this "penetration" phenomenon only lasted less than a second, it can be seen that Pei Wende's current physique has reached an inhuman level.
If he followed his past habits, Pei Wende would go to the temple and then return to the thatched cottage near the waterfall to start his daily forging and blacksmithing career.
In fact, after so many years of transformation and repair by Pei Wende, except for the big word "Zen" on the door, there is no sign of a Zen room in the thatched cottage here.
Simple automation equipment and a variety of complete equipment have simply refreshed the perception of this era.
Especially after learning blacksmithing and medical skills, those gadgets that Pei Wende originally made just to kill time began to move closer to these two aspects.
A power hammer driven by flowing water, a simple but effective homemade hydraulic press, a forging furnace with its own blast effect...
Gardens planted with various herbs, a continuous stream drainage system, simple cutting and grinding devices...
In order to cooperate with his continuous improvement of blacksmithing and medical skills, Pei Wende almost racked his brains to come up with a lot of equipment that can facilitate his study and research.
It has to be said that with the assistance of these devices, Pei Wende's medical skills and forging skills have been amazingly improved.
The only pity is that medical skills and blacksmithing skills are categories that are easy to learn but difficult to master. Every step of improvement requires a huge amount of effort and time.
Although Pei Wende had astonishing understanding and learning ability after enlightenment, he could only be said to be at the level of a "master" in this aspect.
Whether it is the "magic weapon" he wants to forge or the method to cure the sandalwood center chakra, they are just a glimpse of the door, but they are far from finding a concrete and feasible method.
What's more, now Pei Wende is not able to devote a lot of time and energy to studying blacksmithing and medical skills like before.
Because Huiji went down the mountain, or to be more precise, left Tongqing Temple.
There was no grand ceremony, not even a serious farewell...
On a not-so-special morning, Pei Wende woke up and found that Hui Ji had left Tongqing Temple, and at the same time, the little fox demon who had been following him left.
To be honest, Pei Wende never thought that Huiji would stay in Tongqing Temple forever.
Just like a dragon with a heart dedicated to the Nine Heavens, it is impossible to lurk in the pond forever.
Huiji's departure was only a matter of time, and Pei Wende had already been mentally prepared for this.
What Pei Wende didn't expect was that Hui Ji's departure would be so peaceful, giving him the feeling that the other party was just on a temporary trip.
"Not to mention anything else, just the way he left quietly is quite the demeanor of an eminent monk."
After swimming to the shore and putting on his shirt, Pei Wende once again thought of Hui Ji who had left.
When Huiji was at Tongqing Temple, he was usually responsible for receiving pilgrims, interpreting fortunes and praying for blessings. Occasionally, he would also conduct one or two rituals or sutra debate meetings.
After Monk Huiji left Tongqingshi, these tasks naturally fell into Pei Wende's hands.
It's okay to receive pilgrims and pray for peace and blessings. With Pei Wende's current wisdom and cultivation, he can handle it as long as he doesn't encounter someone who deliberately stirs up trouble.
But the problem is that legal affairs and scripture debate are not the majors that Pei Wende is good at.
Especially in the debate conference, it is true that Pei Wende has very different logic and likes to complain, but it is a bit too difficult for him to debate Buddhist scriptures with others seriously.
The only good thing is that these two daily tasks are of the semi-autonomous type, and Pei Wende can completely ignore them if he doesn't want to.
Anyway, those who usually come to debate scriptures are eminent monks who come because of their reputation as "Little Sakyamuni".
Now that Huiji has left, naturally no one wants to argue with Pei Wende, a lay disciple who has not yet become a monk. If he wins, it will be useless, and if he loses, it will be even more embarrassing.
"The old monk is still at leisure. He stopped caring about the affairs of the temple early in the morning."
With such an underestimation, Pei Wende turned around and walked in the direction of Tongqing Temple after taking a brief look at the silent creek.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
It wasn't until Pei Wende's back completely disappeared from sight that Xiao Qing emerged cautiously again.
"Sister Qing?"
Almost at the same time, a sneaky sound suddenly came from the dense forest not far away.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a bamboo leaf green that was somewhat similar to Xiao Qing emerging from it. The whole process was cunning, and there was no trace of the domineering power that a poisonous snake should have.
"hiss!"
With a displeased glance, "Zhuyeqing", who was intimidated by Xiaoqing's gaze, immediately rolled on the spot in a posture that was impossible for a snake, and turned into a trembling little colorful civet cat.
"Qing...Qing...Sister Qing!"
Even from such a distance, Xiao Qing could hear the sound of the other person's teeth chattering as he trembled, which fully demonstrated the timid side of the other person.
Because the person who came was none other than Zhang Wentuo, the youngest of the three civet brothers in Zhangjiacun.
Perhaps because he is the youngest and the best protected, although Zhang Wentuo is also afraid of Xiaoqing, he does not avoid him like his brothers.
On the contrary, in addition to fear, Zhang Wentuo was more curious about Xiaoqing.
Why does this terrifying snake demon behave so "well-behaved" in front of Pei Wende?
Why did the great monk in the temple say before leaving that he could go directly to this snake demon if he encountered something that couldn't be solved?
And most importantly, why does this snake demon like to scare itself every time, but never hurts itself like other monsters or humans?
All kinds of questions and inner curiosity made Zhang Wentuo "think" that he was familiar with Xiaoqing during this period.
"hiss!"
Just like every time they met, Zhang Wentuo couldn't understand Xiaoqing's neighing, but it didn't prevent him from understanding what the other person meant.
"Sister Qing, I really have something to ask you this time."
Hanging his head in aggrieved manner, Zhang Wentuo said that he had no knowledge of the fact that the two brothers of the family had been blamed for several wrong "intelligences" in the past.
But this time it was different. It was 100% sure of the authenticity of the information it brought.
"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong this time, the eldest brother and the second brother are still there, and I am the only one who came back to report the news."
"There is definitely something wrong with the village we found this time. There must be the monster you are looking for in it."
