"This must be the former Longjia Village!"
Looking past the old woman to the abandoned village behind her, Pei Wende's voice was full of emotion.
Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and this once prosperous village has turned into a dilapidated ruin.
Nowadays, apart from myself, it is estimated that only the "person involved", Mao Yao Miaomiao, still remembers everything that happened here.
"Join my camp and prevent more tragedies like this from happening!"
When he said this, Pei Wende stared directly at the old woman, as if he saw the high-spirited bobcat through her.
"..."
Facing Pei Wende's sincere invitation, the old woman fell silent.
Compared with the disdain and contempt at the beginning, the old woman's complex mood now cannot be described in simple words.
As past memories are revealed, the humanity deep in the old woman's heart begins to stir, which makes it difficult for her, who has always been arrogant, to accept.
However, she had to admit that Pei Wende's simple and sincere invitation touched her heart more than the persuasion and persuasion with sweet words.
This is a method that Pei Wende and Xiaoqing have worked together for many years to deal with this kind of cold and arrogant monster.
Monsters of this type generally have enough intelligence and don't need you to state too many opinions and ideas to them. They will think of a reasonable answer on their own.
All Pei Wende had to do was break their "disguise" and state a certain set result to them concisely.
"Why do you want my help?"
After a short silence, the old woman finally spoke.
"You have recovered a lot of monsters along the way, so missing me should be a big deal, right?"
The old woman never overestimates her own strength, let alone feels that she has to solve the current situation by herself.
So now she is very curious, what is the reason for Pei Wende's inexplicable persistence?
"It's true that one person missing you is a lot, but having one more person doesn't make it seem like a lot, right?"
Hearing this, Pei Wende couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then asked.
"Then let me put it another way, why do you think I will sacrifice my life for you?"
"What's about to happen in Tanzhou has nothing to do with me. Why should I get involved for those selfish humans?"
As soon as the old woman said this, Pei Wende immediately spoke again and corrected some errors in the other party's statement.
"No, this is not just a problem for humans, but also a problem for all living creatures living in Tanzhou."
"I can't hide, Weishan can't hide, and you can't hide either..."
When he said this, Pei Wende's voice paused slightly before continuing.
"You are very similar to me, or you are very similar to me back then."
"But the difference is that I have always been taken care of by Master, so I have not really fallen into evil ways."
"And you are like the opposite of me. Driven by the resentment and anger in your heart, you eventually turned into a demon spirit that caused trouble."
As Pei Wende narrated, a warm Buddha light gradually appeared in the back of his head.
"I actually have no obsession with you, and I don't care whether you killed innocent people indiscriminately or not."
"But I can see that the old monk has always been worried about your affairs..."
In fact, it was only after he achieved the other side that Pei Wende realized that his master still had such a little-known depression in his heart.
"The old monk has passed away now. I don't want him to have any regrets in this world."
"If you have this idea, I can accept you as a disciple on behalf of the master and formally accept you as a disciple on behalf of the old monk."
"Anyway, my cheap senior brother also came to the door with a copy of the 'Nirvana Sutra' and took the initiative to worship the old monk as his teacher."
"There is also that boy Zhang Chusheng. The old monk also saw me preaching to him, so he accepted him as a disciple on my behalf."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, except for Pei Wende, the direct disciple who has always been with you, the other two disciples accepted by Zen Master Lingyou were more or less accidental.
Needless to say, Monk Huiji, before becoming a disciple of Zen Master Lingyou, he practiced Ksitigarbha Dharmakaya.
Because she was used to the vicissitudes of human nature, Huiji felt that it would be useless even if she became a Buddha, so she broke the precepts and started practicing Buddhism again. Then under the guidance of Zen Master Lingyou somewhere, she came to Weishan to become a disciple.
The same is true for Zhang Chusheng. In order to extend his life, Pei Wende directly asked him to take a relic from a senior monk, which accidentally inspired his affinity with Buddhism.
In order to prevent Zhang Chusheng from going astray, Zen Master Lingyou overstepped his authority and accepted this disciple instead of Pei Wende.
"Become a disciple of a Zen master?"
I have to admit that Pei Wende's remarks did impress the old woman.
Not to mention that becoming a disciple of Zen Master Lingyou is equivalent to having Huiji and Fahai, the two strongest backers in the world.
Zen Master Lingyou Yingshen's thirty years of careful teaching alone gave the old woman a heartfelt respect and gratitude for this old monk.
"If the Zen master is still alive, I will definitely become his disciple without hesitation..."
A bright smile suddenly broke out on her face. The old woman, who was originally hunched over, suddenly straightened her back and spoke in a decisive tone.
"It's a pity that the Zen master has passed away now, so I have no reason to become his disciple."
This time it was the old woman's turn. The voice paused for a moment, then changed the topic.
"However, I agreed to your previous invitation!"
As she spoke, the old woman's face and body shape changed at an alarming speed, as if she was rejuvenating and gradually changing back to her youthful appearance.
The face is beautiful but also ferocious, the figure is petite but full of wildness...
The most important thing is that as the old woman has returned to the cat demon Miaomiao she once was, her mentality has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
"As you said before, this catastrophe is not a catastrophe for you alone."
"Although I'm not interested in these things, I still have to live in this area for a long time in the future..."
"Letting a bunch of inexplicable guys mess up my 'home' is not what I want to see."
The cat demon Miaomiao, who had regained his fighting spirit, spoke firmly, but his expression was surprisingly relaxed.
This scene fell into the eyes of Hu Ruier and the other little foxes, but they had another completely different idea.
It was only then that Hu Rui'er realized why the monsters, including the man-eating tree demon, were so easily persuaded by Pei Wende.
It's not that those monsters don't have their own egos and selfishness, it can only be said that Pei Wende is too powerful.
Even a stubborn guy like the cat demon Miaomiao can be persuaded. Is there any surprise that other monsters can be persuaded?
