"The purpose of discipline is to regulate one's behavior, not to become a shackles to imprison oneself."
Seeing that Mo Laosan was silent, Pei Wende summed up his speech in one sentence, and then started to eat happily.
In order to purify the resentment in the Tutu Temple, Pei Wende meditated and chanted sutras here for several days.
Not to mention that I didn't drink any water during this period, I was already hungry.
However, Pei Wende was proficient in all magical powers and spells, but he was not very proficient in the "spell of fasting".
Or to be more precise, Pei Wende can indeed use the "big grain technique" to maintain his physical strength and energy for a long time, but he can never let go of his appetite.
In Pei Wende's own words, eating is a great blessing in life. If you practice cultivation and lose your appetite in the end, what's the difference between it and a stubborn stone?
"Speaking of which, you are the watchman of Yongle Town, right?"
While devouring the delicious food in the pot, he asked thoughtfully.
After all, Pei Wende has stayed in Yongle Town for so many days, and he is quite familiar with the voice of the night watchman in Yongle Town.
Coupled with Xiaoqing's previous reminder, Pei Wende already had a rough guess about Mo Laosan's intention.
"What the Master said is that the boy is indeed the watchman of Yongle Town."
After Pei Wende's reminder, Mo Laosan finally remembered the purpose of his trip.
"Actually, this kid is here under the commission of the mayor..."
When he said this, Mo Laosan's tone suddenly paused, and there was hesitation in his words.
Before this, Mo Laosan had never thought that it was difficult to drive away a wandering monk.
Even if the other party is a genuine mage, it is all the citizens of Yongle Town who are expelling him, and he is just a messenger and errand boy.
But after a conversation with Pei Wende, Mo Laosan had doubts about his judgment.
Ordinary mages may indeed not embarrass people who run errands, but this may not be the case for the monk in front of him who dares to openly break his precepts and eat meat.
Mo Laosan had reason to suspect that the other party's previous attempts to make things difficult and tease him were actually because he had seen through the purpose of his trip.
"You want me to get out of here, right?"
Before Mo Laosan could continue to organize his words, Pei Wende revealed the other party's intention in one sentence.
"Don't be surprised, Master. It's true that the people in this town are ignorant and ignorant of the Master's magical power..."
After a series of flattery was delivered in a hurry, Mo Laosan did not want to become an outlet for Pei Wende to vent his anger.
"No need to explain, I understand."
He stretched out his hand to stop Mo Laosan from continuing to explain. Pei Wende, who had expected this, did not get angry.
In fact, even without Mo Laosan's arrival, Pei Wende had already made plans to leave after dealing with the resentment here.
"I will rest here tonight, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."
At this time, Mo Laosan was a little at a loss, because he never expected that Pei Wende would behave so neatly.
Putting aside the visions during this period, Pei Wende was exorcising evil spirits for Yongle Town. Didn't the other party want to receive some reward?
Or is it that the mayor's initial judgment was wrong, and the mage in front of him was not actually exorcising evil spirits?
[Wait a minute, why is the old man so sure he is exorcising evil spirits? 】
Keenly capturing some details that he had overlooked, Mo Laosan suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Just like the mayor watched Mo Laosan grow up, Mo Laosan, as a child who grew up eating hundreds of meals, also knows the mayor's character very well.
In Mo Laosan's impression, the mayor rarely showed such a positive attitude toward uncertain matters.
Only after confirming the authenticity of the incident, the mayor made such a positive statement, and even deliberately told Mo Laosan not to be reckless and be careful not to offend the exorcism mage.
"Master, actually I have a question to ask you."
After a brief hesitation, Mo Laosan felt an inexplicable curiosity in his heart and whispered.
"what is the problem?"
This time it was Pei Wende's turn to be a little curious, what did Mo Laosan want to ask.
"Well, the mayor said you were exorcising evil spirits during this period. May I ask what kind of evil you were exorcising?"
There was a slight pause in his tone, and then Mo Laosan added in order to express his meaning more clearly.
"Is there any evil spirit entrenched in this earth temple?"
"I grew up in Yongle Town, and I never heard of any evil happening in the Tutu Temple?"
Mo Laosan was telling the truth. After his parents passed away, he spent a long period of his childhood in this earth temple.
If it hadn't been for the inexplicable disaster caused by the desperate uncle, Mo Laosan would not have been able to return to his ancestral home in the end and live on the food of hundreds of families until now.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because the real evil spirits have died out a long time ago."
"What remains in this earth temple is just a special resentment, and now it has been conquered by me."
Hearing what Pei Wende said, Mo Laosan palpitated without warning, feeling an inexplicable emotion suddenly welling up deep in his heart.
"Conquer? Is she okay?!"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Pei Wende's expression of surprise, even Mo Laosan himself raised his head in shock.
"How do you know it's 'her'?"
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Pei Wende stared at Mo Laosan, who was also horrified, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
"I have no idea……"
Mo Laosan, who was clutching his heart tightly and feeling inexplicably nervous, was completely confused.
Why did I blurt it out at that moment?
Why am I so worried about an evil spirit that has been subdued?
【Do not you know? 】
Through his mental judgment, Pei Wende knew that Mo Laosan really knew nothing.
However, this could not explain the concern and nervousness that Mo Laosan blurted out earlier.
[It seems that things are a little more complicated than I thought? 】
Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands calmly, Pei Wende felt at this moment that the Prajna Ghost Mask was about to move.
As mentioned above, the Prajna Ghost Mask is not an ordinary magic weapon or magic weapon, but a ghost that has initially gained life.
However, due to the particularity of the resentment that constitutes its life, Prajna Ghost Mask will not actively express its emotions in most cases.
But just after Mo Laosan blurted out, Prajna Ghost Mask, which had no emotional fluctuations at first, actually had an urge to show up.
"Speaking of which, I don't think I know your name yet?"
After pondering for a moment, Pei Wende suddenly changed the topic and asked Mo Laosan's name.
"What is my name?"
Looking at Pei Wende blankly, Mo Laosan said honestly.
"The kid's real name is Mo. Because his parents died early, he didn't have a name."
"But I am the third eldest child in the Mo family, so everyone is used to calling me Mo Lao San."
