"It seems that my lack of action this year has given you some wrong understanding of my strength?"
Pei Wende did not directly answer the Tudigong's question, but just smiled helplessly.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. Although Pei Wende solved the root cause of Dragon Girl Bodhisattva's resentment in the battle a year ago.
But judging from the movement and power it caused, it was indeed not as good as Xiao Qing, who transformed into three dragons, commanded the wind and rain, and turned the rivers upside down.
"That's not what I meant..."
He quickly shook his head in denial. Tu Tu Gong did not doubt Pei Wende's strength. He just felt that sometimes the young lady was more trustworthy.
"You are going down the mountain alone this time. You will have to stay at Zhu's house for three or five days at least."
"If things don't go well, it might take longer. It's always good to have someone with you."
When he said this, Tugui Gong's tone paused slightly.
"After all, you and Qing Niangzi have always been inseparable. This sudden separation, the little old man is really not used to it."
To be honest, Aunt Zhu was the first to be entertained by Tu Gong.
But after understanding the whole incident, Tu Tu Gong's attitude was the same as Xiao Qing's. He didn't think this human woman who was full of lies was worthy of trust.
"If you really want to talk about it, I'm actually not used to it."
"But since Xiaoqing actively proposed to stay at Jinshan Temple, he must be planning to do something without telling me, so why should I go to the bottom of it?"
Not to mention that Tu Tu Gong felt strange, even Pei Wende felt that Xiaoqing's words at that time were a bit abrupt.
Combined with the very clumsy way of changing the subject, Pei Wende knew without even thinking that Xiaoqing must be planning to do something without telling him.
However, Pei Wende has never been the kind of control freak who has a strong desire to control.
So even though he knew that Xiao Qing might be hiding something, he finally decided to believe in the trust the two of them had accumulated over the years.
"Besides, Xiaoqing was injured in the battle a year ago and has not recovered yet."
"It's better to leave her in Jinshan Temple to continue to recover from her injuries than to follow me around."
In fact, this is another reason why Pei Wende stayed at Jinshan Temple this year.
When fighting the White Snake, Xiao Qing was almost strangled.
Thanks to Pei Wende, who showed up in time with the ghost Bodhisattva on his back and sucked out all the resentment from the white snake, Xiaoqing was able to escape successfully.
However, the excessive use of Qing Gang and the erosion of Dragon Girl Bodhisattva's resentment caused Xiao Qing's physical condition to be at a low point for a long time.
Even though Pei Wende had been chanting sutras for salvation this year, he couldn't say that he didn't leave any hidden wounds on Xiaoqing.
Under such circumstances, it would definitely be better for Xiaoqing to stay in Jinshan Temple to recuperate than to follow him around.
"Qing Niang's injury hasn't healed yet?"
His eyes widened in surprise, Tu Tu Gong recalled Xiao Qing's various behaviors in the past year, but he didn't look like a seriously injured person.
"Given Xiaoqing's character of showing off, it's really strange that you would find that."
Nodding in agreement with Tu Tu Gong's words, Pei Wende mentioned Xiao Qing's injury at this time, so naturally it was impossible for him to just talk nonsense.
"As soon as you send me to Zhujiazhuang, go back to Jinshan Temple and help me look after Xiaoqing."
"If you find anything unusual, ask your nephews to contact me immediately."
"If no dangerous situation is found, you only need to be responsible for her three meals a day..."
"Well, although it's unlikely, it would be better if she could drink less."

"Ah sneeze!"
Just like Pei Wende before, Xiaoqing, who was talking to Hu Ruier, also sneezed in response.
But unlike Pei Wende, Xiaoqing knew very well who was talking about her behind her back.
But in front of Hu Rui'er, Xiao Qing didn't show too many emotions, but after a brief thought, she asked again.
"Besides the gods, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
The reason for asking this is of course not because Xiaoqing thinks that the information brought by Hu Ruier is not exciting.
On the contrary, whether Xuan Jue reincarnated successfully or the heavenly beings wanted to seize the Ascension Pill, it was very timely news for Xiao Qing and Pei Wende.
But the problem is that even if Hu Rui'er doesn't make such a trip, the affairs of Xuan Jue and Tian Zhong will be known to them sooner or later.
Or, Hu Rui'er could use other methods to notify the two of them.
With all the strategies and caution Pei Hui had shown before, just to inform Pei Wende, it was too inconsistent with her wisdom to reveal that she still had a "heart lamp" that was not extinguished.
“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”
Continuing to maintain the smile on her face, Hu Ruier showed great appreciation for Xiaoqing's wit and caution.
"You're right. If it were just Xuan Jue and Tianzhong, they would still be far from being troublesome if they were constrained by the means I left behind during my lifetime."
"The real trouble is that because of my relationship with Huiji, you are completely involved in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."
The pupils suddenly tightened. Of course Xiaoqing didn't know what the "Taoist dispute" between the Buddhist and Taoist families meant.
However, just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is obviously a major event that lasted for hundreds of years.
The danger involved even caused Hu Rui'er, who had already "fake death to escape", to appear again, just to give herself and Pei Wende a warning.
"The fight between the Buddhist and Taoist families has started since the previous dynasty. Are there any other secrets hidden in it?"
After pondering for a moment, Xiaoqing tried hard to recall the various disputes between Buddhism and Taoism that Pei Wende told him, but could not get the slightest clue from them.
"That's natural. What you see is just the superficial dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."
"Those hidden in the dark, invisible tit-for-tat confrontations are the real orthodox battles."
Seemingly realizing that her statement was a bit too rough, Hu Ruier suddenly revealed a shocking fact.
"Did you know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Buddha bones have been welcomed every thirty years, and they were almost never interrupted before Wuzong succeeded to the throne."
"As early as the fifth year of Zhenguan (631), Emperor Taizong built a pagoda in Famen Temple to house the Buddha's bone relics of Sakyamuni."
"In the fourth year of Emperor Xianzong's reign (659), Emperor Gaozong ordered that the Buddha's finger relics from Famen Temple be brought to the Eastern Capital for worship, which became the beginning of the dynasty's reception of Buddha's bones."
"The second time we welcomed the Buddha's relics was in the fourth year of Chang'an (704). Empress Wu Zetian ordered Monk Fazang to bring the relics back to the Mingtang to offer them as offerings, and he offered them for four or five years."
"This was interrupted once due to obstacles from the Taoist sect, but in the first year of Shangyuan (760), Suzong personally sent Master Fu Kong to welcome the Buddha's bones again, and gave various precious enhancements and rewards."
"Until the sixth year of Zhenyuan (790), Dezong once again welcomed the Buddha's bones and revived Buddhism."
"So far, the last time the Buddha's bones were brought back was in the 14th year of Yuanhe (819). Xianzong personally ordered them to be brought back. Since then, the most prosperous period of Buddhism has begun."
"Zen Master Lingyou also rose to prominence during this period, and eventually broke into Zhongnan Mountain in the name of the 'Crazy Monk', and almost destroyed the entire Taoist sect."
