In front of the Third Buddha in the main hall of Tongqing Temple in Weishan.
After simply arranging the accommodation for Zou Qiwu and his daughter, Zhang Chusheng, who felt that he had completed his task, turned around and left. Xiao Qing was also left with him.
Because both of them knew in their hearts that there was still something to say between Zen Master Lingyou and Pei Hong.
Under Xiao Qing's murderous and oppressive eyes, even the old housekeeper had to give up the plan of continuing to follow the Zen room, and silently followed the two of them to the Buddha statue in the main hall, planning to burn incense and worship the Buddha first.
And at this time, the three people who came to the main hall together suddenly discovered that a smiling young man had already sat in the empty temple blessing seat.
"Brother Pei! Did you succeed?"
Zhang Chusheng, who didn't expect Pei Wende to appear so soon, was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes, it went a little smoother than I expected."
Smiling and nodding, Pei Wende reached out and touched Zhang Chusheng's head, and then turned his attention to Xiao Qing, who was standing motionless.
"Thank you. I'll treat you to a big dinner when I go down the mountain later."
Facing Pei Wende's invitation, Xiaoqing, who knew the other party's character well, couldn't help but frown.
"Are you planning to cause trouble again?"
In Xiao Qing's impression, Pei Wende would definitely cause trouble every time he went down the mountain, especially when he took the initiative to ask to go down.
Besides, today is not a festival, and there is no shortage of daily food and clothing in the temple. At this time, inviting himself down the mountain must have been something he noticed in advance.
"If you see through it, don't tell it. Otherwise, how can we still be friends?"
Spreading his hands with a smile, Pei Wende had no intention of hiding it from Xiaoqing from the beginning, but he was still a little embarrassed when the other party revealed his little thoughts at a glance.
"And there is a high probability that this time it was not me who caused the trouble, but the trouble that came to us."
When saying this, Pei Wende turned his eyes to the loyal steward aside and continued to speak with a smile.
"Are you right? The old housekeeper of the Pei family?"
"My brother went up the mountain this time. He definitely didn't just want me to come down to 'enjoy the blessings', right?"
Deliberately emphasizing the word "enjoyment", Pei Wende asked himself that he had already made his attitude clear when they met last time. Pei Hong's trip up the mountain must not be just to complete an impossible thing.
"Young Master, what you said is very true."
It was only then that the loyal steward realized that the young man in front of him was his young master.
Surprised and surprised, the loyal butler couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Because compared to the stubborn and stubborn "young master" in Pei Hui and Pei Hong's words, the young man in front of him was obviously gentler and more refined, and it even made Butler Zhong feel like he was seeing a gentle scholar.
However, this illusion of the loyal butler only lasted for less than a second, and was broken by Pei Wende's next words.
"Don't call me young master, I have nothing to do with the Pei family."
With an unabashed rejection in his calm voice, Pei Wende lightly knocked on the table in front of him and continued to ask loudly.
"Rather than lying to my master with such nonsense, let's talk about your true purpose of going up the mountain this time!"
Of course Pei Wende knew that what Pei Hong said before must be sincere.
But he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he simply chose to ignore it all and asked straight to the point about the other purpose of their trip.
"Of course you can continue to act stupid, but I don't guarantee whether I will pretend to be stupid next time."
The threat revealed in his words made Butler Zhong, who originally thought that Pei Wende might be easier to get along with, suddenly fell silent.
"Let me guess, apart from my identity as 'young master of the Pei family', you should be here for my other identity, right?"
"The little mage from Weishan? The little novice monk from Tongqing Temple?"
"The bold Pei who is not afraid of ghosts? Or the crazy Pei who likes to meddle in other people's business?"
One by one, Pei Wende said his nicknames among the people at the foot of the mountain. He obviously saw the loyal steward's brows twitching, as if he was a little surprised as to why he knew this.
Especially the two nicknames at the end are vaguely derogatory.
"Don't be so surprised. I know what I have done, and I also know the opinions of the people under the mountain."
It was impossible for Pei Wende not to be angry when he heard these nicknames at the beginning, but as time went by, he began to look down on these indifferent names.
After all, no matter which nickname, it is an affirmation of Pei Wende's ability.
In comparison, being able to truly help people who are in trouble is what really makes Pei Wende happy.
"The young master is the reincarnation of the Buddha and the birth of the Bodhisattva. He naturally has the capacity to accommodate others, and he will not have the same understanding as ordinary people."
He did not change his name for Pei Wende. Butler Zhong just flattered him while quietly changing his inherent impression of him.
The young master in front of him was not as easy to get along with as he thought, so naturally he had to change his attitude towards him a little.
At the very least, the previous approach of relying on affection and relying on one's elders will definitely not work.
"Actually, the eldest young master and I did hear the young master's name when we went up the mountain this time, so that's why we wanted to seek your help."
With the half-smiling expression still hanging on his lips, Pei Wende neither disbelieved nor fully believed the words of the cunning and loyal butler in front of him.
He is just a little curious now. After experiencing the "vampire incident" in Ningxiang, how can Pei Hong still have the courage to come to him for help?
"Since you have heard about my deeds, you should also know my style of doing things, right?"
"I am different from those mages who spend money to eliminate disasters and only do things..."
"As soon as I take action, I will basically get to the bottom of it and dig out all the scandals. I will not give anyone face."
In today's era, unless it is those monsters and monsters that really kill innocent people.
Otherwise, families or individuals that can be entangled by evil spirits and sneaky things are basically the type with bad personal ethics - just like the beautiful head of the Lu family and the human demon He Qinfeng.
Therefore, even though Pei Wende has a reputation around Weishan as "people who come to kill ghosts and subdue demons", the people who really dare to come to him are usually the villagers who really have no choice.
Moreover, taking a step back, Pei Wende is famous not only for his methods, but also for his bad luck and ability to cause trouble.
An ordinary ghost can drive out a century-old ghost...
As time goes by, whoever comes to Pei Wende to slay demons must first consider the consequences of these two aspects.
Every time he thought about this, Pei Wende felt helpless, almost pointing at the noses of the villagers and saying, "Feudal superstition is terrible."
