"what do you want to say in the end?"
After a brief surprise, Pei Wende looked at Xiaoqing again with confusion in his eyes.
Pei Wende knew Xiao Qing's character well, and the other party must have known something in advance to suddenly ask him so many questions.
"It doesn't matter what I want to say. What matters is that you still remember your original intention of practicing?"
After asking Pei Wende emphatically again, Xiaoqing did not answer the other party's question directly.
[Xiaoqing...are you afraid? 】
Such an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and Pei Wende suddenly opened his mouth in surprise.
Will Xiaoqing be afraid?
Will Xiao Qing, who has a cold personality, weird temper, and even a little heartlessness, be afraid?
Pei Wende thinks that even if the sun comes out in the west one day, Xiaoqing will not have such fear, right?
However, looking at Xiao Qing who had been staring at him, Pei Wende suddenly had a feeling that his guess seemed to be correct.
"Of course I remember my original intention of practicing."
After thinking for a moment, Pei Wende nodded honestly even though he didn't know what happened.
"I'm actually not afraid of death, and I don't even pursue the improvement of Taoism and supernatural powers."
"When Master helped me enter Taoism, I said that I just didn't want to live a simple life day after day, and wanted to have an alternative."
"After all, life is short. How many people can truly live forever?"
"Live as you please and see the broader world, this is the original intention of my practice."
Hearing Pei Wende's affirmative answer, Xiaoqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his sharp eyes softened a bit.
"Then do you still remember that you once said that you did not intend to end your worldly ties and become a monk?"
As soon as these words came out, Pei Wende was stunned and his expression became subtle.
"You've been doing this for a long time, are you worried about this?"
Pei Wende asked himself that he had never shown any signs of wanting to become a monk from beginning to end, so why was Xiaoqing suddenly worried that he wanted to become a monk?
"Why do you think I want to become a monk?"
When he said this, Pei Wende thought of some of his previous worries.
Ever since the "Mighty Heavenly Dragon" mantra was formed, Pei Wende had a vague feeling that he seemed to be the legendary "Fahai".
Coupled with the existence of Xiaoqing, although Pei Wende had never mentioned it to anyone, deep down in his heart he did reject the idea of "monasticism".
Of course, if Zen Master Lingyou really spoke one day, Pei Wende would most likely not refuse his proposal.
"If one day someone told you that you could eliminate an invisible disaster by becoming a monk, would you choose to become a monk?"
Ignoring Pei Wende's rhetorical question, Xiaoqing just continued to ask in a low voice.
But this time, it was Pei Wende's silence that responded to her.
Pei Wende has never been an idiot. As soon as he saw the collapsed "Dragon of Luck", Xiaoqing asked him whether he would become a monk.
Pei Wende would never believe it if there was no connection between the two.
"Did my senior brother say something to you?"
As if to confirm Pei Wende's words, as soon as his voice fell, an invisible wind blew open the window of the wing.
"Amitabha, junior brother is indeed very enlightened."
Accompanied by a familiar Buddha's name, a smiling Hui Ji appeared in front of Pei Wende out of thin air.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Senior brother?"
Looking at Hui Ji, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Pei Wende's heart completely lost the long-lost excitement.
"Wende, long time no see!"
Reaching out and patting Pei Wende on the shoulder, Hui Ji greeted him with a relaxed expression as if nothing had happened.
"It's been a long time indeed, but now I suddenly don't want to see you anymore."
Gritting his teeth and slapping away Hui Ji's hand on his shoulder, the ominous feeling in Pei Wende's heart instantly became a reality.
"Let's just be brothers, don't be so outspoken!"
As if she was completely unaware of being rejected by Wen De, Hui Ji withdrew her hand, and then continued teasing happily.
"What exactly did you say to Xiaoqing?"
His thoughts were not disturbed by Hui Ji's interruption at all, and Pei Wende gritted his teeth and asked.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how heartless!"
She shook her head regretfully, and Huiji looked like she was regretful, but actually she was happy to answer.
"I just told Xiaoqing everything, but I didn't add anything to it!"
Pei Wende curled his lips with disdain. Pei Wende, who had been with Hui Ji for so long, would naturally not believe what the other party said.
"You and I, please stop playing Zen. I'll go back to Tongqing Temple directly and make all your plans come to nothing."
The voice paused slightly, and when Pei Wende said this, his tone was very decisive.
"Tsk, junior brother, you really haven't changed at all!"
Seeing this situation, Hui Ji calmed down slightly, but there was still a smile on her face.
"But monks don't lie. Senior brother, what I tell you is the truth."
"I just told your 'Taoist' a fact, a fact that both she and you are deliberately avoiding."
"Humans and monsters have different paths, this is the normal state of the world."
"Sooner or later you will all have to face this problem. This is not a problem that can be solved by avoiding it."
It has to be said that Hui Ji's words were like thunder that exploded into Pei Wende's heart, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.
Because as Huiji said, after realizing that he might be Fahai, Pei Wende knew that the bad relationship between himself and Xiaoqing was definitely not that simple.
Put aside all so-called "fatalistic" views.
Just the differences in thinking, race, and even three views between the two will take a long time, or even a lifetime, to get used to.
Today, when Pei Wende is still alive, he can use himself as a tool to "contain" Xiaoqing and help him develop his humanity bit by bit.
But in the future, after Pei Wende's death, will Xiaoqing do anything crazy?
According to Pei Wende's understanding of Xiao Qing, the other party will definitely do whatever it takes to "resurrect" him.
The tiger preys on the tiger, the fox demon Rui'er, the dog demon fights, the Miao witch...
Except for the water monster couple with abnormal outlook and eccentric personalities, almost all the monster relationships Pei Wende has seen ended in tragedy.
[No, we are different from them. 】
Xiaoqing, who was connected to Pei Wende, immediately noticed his flash of worry.
[Besides, you are not a normal person. You might be able to live longer than me, right? 】
