Behind the main hall of Tongqing Temple.
"Really successful?"
After Zhang Chusheng arranged the pilgrims in an orderly manner, when he looked back again, he found that the sun had shone on the earth again.
The sudden thunder and dark clouds just appeared as if they had never appeared from the beginning, and the unsuspecting pilgrims marveled at it.
It seems that since "Little Sakyamuni" appeared in Tongqing Temple, some amazing visions have often occurred here.
Pilgrims who often go to the mountain were surprised at first, but then they became accustomed to them and began to show them off as a kind of conversation piece.
In a sense, the current popularity of Tongqing Temple is inseparable from these occasional visions.
"success?"
Just as Zhang Chusheng turned around, a slightly quiet voice suddenly came from beside him.
"ah?"
Zhang Chusheng, who realized that he had let slip something, immediately turned around, only to find a young man with an old housekeeper standing there. He didn't know how much he had heard.
"No...I didn't say 'success'. Did you hear it correctly, layman?"
Faced with Zhang Chusheng's stuttering denial, Pei Hong did not continue to ask questions, but instead bowed respectfully towards the other party.
"Don't be surprised, boy. This is Pei Hong, Pei Wende's elder brother."
"I went up the mountain this time hoping to meet Zen Master Lingyou and Wende. I won't do anything else unnecessary."
Blinking his eyelids in confusion, Zhang Chusheng looked at Pei Hong, who was full of nobility but extremely humble, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, after Pei Wende's words and deeds during this period, his inferiority and nervousness caused by social class gradually disappeared, so he quickly responded.
"You don't have to be so polite, layman. Just call me Chu Sheng."
"If you want to see my master and senior brother, call them immediately after I finish handling the matters here."
Zhang Chusheng did not fully believe Pei Hong's self-introduction. He just kept a distance from him with an attitude that was so polite that it was almost "cold".
After all, no one knows Pei Wende's situation better than Zhang Chusheng.
He followed Zen Master Lingyou up the mountain since he was a child. When he was a minor, he occasionally needed help from the villagers at the foot of the mountain to survive.
This means that even if Pei Wende does have a brother, the relationship is definitely not as good as imagined.
At the very least, Zhang Chusheng didn't think that the word "brother" could break the twenty-year gap between the two - especially for a stubborn person like Pei Wende.
"Well……"
I never expected that I would be treated like this after I revealed my identity.
Pei Hong's expression was slightly embarrassed, just like when he first met Pei Wende in Ningxiang County, the other party seemed to have expressed a similar attitude.
"you……"
On the contrary, it was the old housekeeper behind Pei Hong. He couldn't stand the humiliation of his master and stepped forward to scold Zhang Chusheng for his "neglect".
But just as the butler stepped forward, a hand suddenly appeared on his back, followed by a suppressed cold voice.
"If you dare to take another step forward, believe it or not, I will cripple one of your legs."
Calm, indifferent, even a little careless...
The person who suddenly appeared behind the housekeeper was none other than Xiao Qing, who was dressed in Tsing Yi and had her hair tied in a bun.
"Sister Qing?"
Looking at Xiao Qing who appeared out of thin air with a face of surprise, Zhang Chusheng couldn't help but scream.
This is not just because Xiaoqing suddenly appeared to save herself.
It's because Zhang Chusheng knew in his heart that the presence of Xiao Qing, who was inseparable from Pei Wende, here meant that the other party had really successfully overcome the disaster.
"..."
Frowning slightly, Xiaoqing glanced at Zhang Chusheng's childish face, but she still did not correct him in the end.
Since the "Mirage Incident", Xiao Qing, who has transformed into a human form, has no longer hidden his existence.
Occasionally, when Pei Wende was exhausted, Xiaoqing would reluctantly appear in the temple to help deal with complicated secular matters at the other party's "genuine" request.
At first, it was difficult for Zhang Chusheng to accept this "stranger" who suddenly appeared.
It wasn't until one conversation with Pei Wende that Zhang Zhusheng realized that this "stranger" actually knew him - because she was the green snake that appeared in the village and defeated the mandrill with Pei Wende.
As for why Zhang Chusheng calls Xiao Qing "Sister Qing"?
On the one hand, although the green snake looks bigger than him after its transformation, calling her "Qing Jie" is far more appropriate than any other title.
On the other hand, the three civet brothers called Xiao Qing this way. Zhang Chusheng, who often accompanied and played with the three brothers, naturally followed the local customs and called him this.
"Young lady, please show mercy!"
Seeing the old housekeeper's face begin to twist, Pei Hong quickly apologized to Xiao Qing in a low voice.
"All of this is due to my lack of discipline. I hope the young lady will not be as experienced as a housekeeper like me."
With a helpless sigh, Pei Hong knew that things would happen like this.
As the so-called third-rank official in front of the prime minister, as a loyal servant who worked hard with his father, the old housekeeper is no longer a "servant" in the ordinary sense.
In addition, the other party can be regarded as an elder who watched him grow up.
Even though he was a direct descendant of the family, he never dared to treat the old housekeeper as a real servant.
As time passed, the old butler, who was already grumpy, naturally became a little domineering.
To be honest, if his father hadn't insisted on taking the old housekeeper with him when he went out, Pei Hong wouldn't have been willing to take him up the mountain!
After all, with Pei Wende's character, once the old housekeeper assumes the attitude of an elder, Pei Hong is almost certain that his younger brother will make him miserable.
But what Pei Hong didn't expect was that the old housekeeper had to pay the price for his recklessness even before he met Pei Wende.
"snort!"
Seemingly seeing the helplessness in Pei Hong's eyes, Xiaoqing thought for a moment and then let go of the hand that was "clamping" on the old housekeeper's shoulder.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
It was only then that the old housekeeper, who was almost in tears, dared to cry out in pain.
After all, Xiao Qing's extremely cold murderous intention was not fake.
The well-informed old butler had no doubt that the other party really wanted to destroy one of his legs just now - as long as he dared to say one more word.
"Uncle Zhong!"
Pei Hong hurriedly stepped forward to help the old housekeeper. After confirming that he was seriously injured, Pei Hong really turned his attention to the woman who suddenly appeared.
The simple dress exudes a cold aura, and the green snake hairpin on the head is lifelike...
With just one glance, Pei Hong was convinced that this woman was definitely no ordinary person.
[When did my brother have such a ruthless and ruthless character? 】
