An hour later, in the superior guest room specially arranged by Mr. Cao.
Like Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji, Pei Wende, who had replaced his daily sleep with meditation, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, calmly adjusting the energy consumed in fighting the demon Buddha.
Under the moonlight, the thin paper window reflected Pei Wende's figure.
The little green snake transformed by Xiao Qing lay lazily under the paper window, absorbing the vitality and essence of the moonlight.
This tacit silence lasted until Xiaoqing re-crouched his snake body and pointed his gaze at Pei Wende opposite, who was also not resting.
"Why didn't you reject that little girl's request on the spot?"
The voice was cold and aloof, and Xiao Qing knew that Pei Wende was not the kind of person who liked to teach his disciples.
Zhang Chusheng was already unexpected, but Xiao Qing didn't think that Zou Qiwu's daughter would become the second exception.
"Is it because Zou Qiwu saved your life twenty years ago?"
"Is it because his father is your master's best friend?"
Faced with Xiaoqing's doubts, Pei Wende just smiled and shook his head.
"Do you think my rejection alone can make that girl give up her idea?"
Although Pei Wende is not a PUA master who has a deep understanding of female psychology, he also knows that girls of Yue'er's age are in the period of rebellion.
If I directly reject the other party, there is a high probability that she will go down some evil path.
With Zou Qiwu's financial resources, Pei Wende has no doubt about this.
In addition, although that girl Yue'er is a little quirky, she can be taken by Zou Qiwu and trained as a successor. There is no doubt about her IQ and ability.
"Although it is impossible for me to teach her the real method of cultivation, some basic Qimen Dunjia is still fine."
Even if Yue'er does not have the talent for cultivation, even if Yue'er is not suitable for the cultivation method of her lineage, there are not many restrictions on the Qimen Dunjia technique.
In the eyes of ordinary people, those Qimen Dunjia based on magic numbers are actually no different from real "immortal magic".
Especially after reaching great perfection, the physiognomy, fortune telling, and divination in Qimen Dunjia even have incredible abilities that surpass those of ordinary practitioners.
After all, although the art of Qimen Dunjia is simple to learn, its essence is similar to the general outline of Taoist magic.
If you are a practitioner with extraordinary talent, it is not impossible to enter Taoism even with Qimen Dunjia.
"That's not your real reason."
However, after spending so many years with Pei Wende, Xiaoqing could see at a glance that he was avoiding the important and taking the easy.
If she simply didn't want Yue'er to go astray, there were ten thousand ways to deceive this girl about Pei Wende's IQ and ability.
"Okay! I admit I didn't tell the whole story."
Shrugging slightly, Pei Wende continued to speak with a smile.
"But you wouldn't have noticed such details in the past."
In the past, Xiao Qing was one of those people who looked cold, but was actually cold.
Except for the dark side that occasionally shows up in front of Pei Wende, Xiaoqing is indifferent to things outside her body most of the time.
Even if it was Pei Wende, a special being, Xiao Qing would never expose the other party's little thoughts unless the other party acted foolishly and risked his life.
"As you often say, people always change, and so do monsters."
After gently vomiting his own snake letter, Xiao Qing's expression remained stern, showing no expression that revealed his true thoughts.
"Tsk, you are so indifferent!"
With a slightly teasing comment, Pei Wende finally expressed his truest thoughts.
"Actually, the reason why I agreed to that little girl is because I saw the shadow of myself in her body."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
More than ten years ago, when Pei Wende in this life opened his eyes for the first time, he was being held in swaddling clothes by a retired monk.
He was obviously a monk who had severed all ties with the world, but at that time Lingyou was teasing the baby in his arms with a doting look on his face.
Because at that time, Lingyou was not the Zen Master Weishan today, but a crazy monk who was full of curiosity about everything and feared nothing.
For a long period of time afterwards, Pei Wende thought that he was the "illegitimate son" of the great monk.
At that time, although Lingyou knew that the child in front of him might be a wise man from a previous life and born precocious, he never thought that he would have a complete mind and personality.
Therefore, Pei Wende witnessed all kinds of miracles of Lingyou during that time.
Traveling thousands of miles and talking to wild animals are just the basics.
Pei Wende even saw the image of Zen Master Lingyou summoning wind and rain and bringing down the peace and tranquility with a passage from the Dragon King Sutra.
Pei Wende, who came from the modern society of the 21st century, had never seen this battle before, and he became very curious about spiritual practice at that time.
However, as Pei Wende grew older, Zen Master Lingyou, who did not want him to awaken and become a real "earth dragon", restrained his supernatural powers and led him to walk across the land of China like an ordinary wandering monk.
It was at that time that Pei Wende realized that the powerful monk in front of him did not seem to intend to teach him any methods of practice.
It is impossible to say that Pei Wende is not upset or depressed.
Pei Wende still remembers the heart-wrenching feeling of knowing that there is a capable person around him, but he can only watch him hiding his clumsiness and refusing to teach him.
Fortunately, Pei Wende already had a mature personality at that time.
Otherwise, there's no telling what a child of a physical age would have done.
Even so, Pei Wende did not choose to give up, but silently waited for the opportunity, waiting for the day when Zen Master Lingyou took the initiative to relent.
Because Pei Wende was unwilling to "force" the monk, who was almost equivalent to his "adoptive father", to make a decision that went against his own will.
Even if Pei Wende knew that as long as he took the initiative to speak and used some tactics to persuade him, Zen Master Lingyou would definitely agree to teach him how to practice.
And it was only when Huiji went up the mountain that Zen Master Lingyou finally stopped caring about anything and chose to teach him all his magical powers.
Now in Yue'er's body, Pei Wende saw the shadow of his former self.
That kind of curiosity and desire for magical powers, that kind of mood that wants to explore the unknown mysteries, is exactly the same as the original self.
In comparison, Zhang Chusheng did not have that kind of pure curiosity.
The reason why Zhang Chusheng chose to practice Buddhism was mostly because he was forced by the situation and passively followed Butcher Zhang's arrangements.
Even his love for swordsmanship and martial arts was influenced by Pei Wende.
