Chapter 122 Pei Jingxu, read it to me.

Under the temple pagoda.

Jiang Hui held a stack of Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and used a tinder to light the lamps around him.

The young master said he wanted to burn all the Buddhist scriptures.

Jiang Hui always obeyed the young master's orders, so he took them to a deserted place here and prepared to burn them all.

The night wind blew through the scriptures in his hands, and the pages rustled in the wind.

He leaned over and lit the tinder.

Sparks flew twice, and with the help of the surrounding candlelight, Jiang Hui could clearly see the contents of the scripture.

Jiang Hui had been with the young master for many years. The young master was most calm when he was copying Buddhist scriptures. He copied those Buddhist scriptures fluently and smoothly without changing a single word.

But there were a few typos and ink blobs on the stack of paper for no reason. There could be three or five typos in a sentence of scripture.

Jiang Hui's eyelids twitched.

Without thinking too much, he put all the papers on the ground and moved the fire forward.

The night wind blew up the corners of the pages, and a few pages of paper fluttered in the wind and flew away!

Seeing this, Jiang Hui hurriedly chased forward and grabbed the flying pages.

Jiang Hui swore that he had never intended to see the title pages of those papers.

In the dim candlelight, Jiang Hui could clearly see another scene on the title page of the paper with Buddhist scriptures copied on it.

Densely packed, large and small, written in vigorous and powerful strokes, they are all those three words.

Jiang Hui swallowed and carefully turned to the back of several other pages.

Without exception, all of them were filled with those words.

As if he was unwilling to give up, Jiang Hui walked to the fire that had just started and randomly picked up a few unburned pages from the fire. They were all the same.

【Pei Jingxu】.

Jiang Hui's throat rolled up and down a few times, and his eyes reflected the fire.

Outside the mountain temple, some wild beast seemed to be about to break out of its cage, growling and howling.

--

Randeng Temple, inside the meditation room.

Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered slightly, reflecting the moonlight.

She raised her eyes and looked at Rong Jianxue who was standing in front of her at the entrance. She bit her lip slightly, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

"Centipede?" Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Her clothes were a little messy, as if she had come in a hurry. Her loose robe was gathered around her, revealing half of her fair neck.

Her breathing was a little rapid and fearful, her cheeks flushed and her face was rosy.

Pei Jingxu nodded, still feeling a little aggrieved: "I, I was originally thinking of finding a young master to help me kill it..."

At this point, she murmured sheepishly, "But then I remembered that monks can't kill..."

Rong Jianxue frowned and said in a cold voice, "There are many insects and snakes in the mountains. It's around the beginning of autumn, so there are many poisonous creatures."

Pei Jingxu's eyes were still tinged with red. She reached out to grab the man's sleeve and said, "He's in Ah Xu's room. My Lord, go and help Ah Xu kill him..."

Rong Jianxue chuckled when she heard this: "Monks can't kill, but I can?"

Pei Jingxu bit her lip and said, "I don't care. There's a huge centipede in Ah Xu's room. Ah Xu is scared..."

She acted coquettishly towards him.

Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes, her voice low and hoarse, "I'll have Jiang Hui go to your room and sprinkle some insect repellent powder, okay?"

Pei Jingxu persisted: "What if the centipede hides?"

He sighed softly: "Then I'll let Jiang Hui check you again, is that okay?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Pei Jingxu leaned towards the man and said, "Then Ah Xu will wait for Guard Jiang here with you..."

Rong Jianxue lowered her eyes, her dark eyes like spilled ink, heavy and drooping.

"good."

He made way to let Pei Jingxu in.

After entering the Zen room, Pei Jingxu's eyes fell on Rong Jianxue's desk.

——The stack of scriptures placed here during the day are gone.

"Have the scriptures that Your Excellency copied still covered up the pagoda?"

Pei Jingxu asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, I'm used to it." He replied, and no emotion could be heard from his voice.

Pei Jingxu also smiled.

She sat obediently on a chair beside her and said softly, "Ah Xu, don't disturb the adults. Ah Xu will wait for Guard Jiang to come back."

Rong Jianxue responded and sat back at the desk.

Pick up the pen again.

He didn't know how long it was, until the ink on the tip of the pen dripped onto the rice paper, and then he realized that he hadn't written a single word.

Pursing her lips slightly, Rong Jianxue put down the brush in her hand and looked at her sideways: "Come here."

Pei Jingxu tilted his head slightly, his eyes clear: "What's wrong?"

She asked this, but obediently came to the man and sat on the mat next to him.

"Do you still remember the accounts I taught you?"

Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly, with a look of rejection on her face: "Ah Xu is stupid. I didn't use what I learned, so I forgot it a long time ago."

Rong Jianxue narrowed his eyes slightly and handed the brush to her: "How much do you remember? Write it down for me."

Pei Jingxu was unhappy, his watery eyes full of resentment: "Ah Xu is here to hide from centipedes, adults are scarier than centipedes..."

The man lowered his eyes and said hoarsely, "Just write down what you remember."

Pei Jingxu wrinkled his nose, but finally lowered his head and started writing on the rice paper with a brush.

The fragrance of flowers filled his nose, and Rong Jianxue stared at the half of her neck, slightly distracted.

——He didn't actually want to test her, but with her here, he found it difficult to concentrate.

I just asked her to write something to distract herself.

"Just write down whatever you remember, don't worry."

Rong Jianxue added, placing one hand behind her back, unconsciously encircling her whole body.

She was wearing his clothes.

But she had worn that dress for too long, and the floral scent overwhelmed the original agarwood scent, giving it a scent that didn't belong to her.

Rong Jianxue's eyes darkened slightly, and his expression was unclear.

“I’ve finished writing!”

Pei Jingxu stopped writing and put the pen back where it was.

After coming back to his senses, the man's gaze finally slowly fell on the rice paper.

It didn't take long, and she only wrote three words -

【Rong Jianxue】.

The finger bones between his sleeves tightened slightly, Rong Jianxue's pupils shrank slightly, and his dark eyes were like an overturned pool of ink, mixed and intense.

The woman didn't seem to realize anything. She turned her head and smiled at the man beside her, her eyes sly and clever. "Sir, this is all Ah Xu remembers."

I only remember his name.

Rong Jianxue's breathing stagnated.

He leaned forward slightly, and his gesture of enclosing the woman in his arms became more obvious.

Like a dense and unsolvable net, it quietly enveloped her.

The woman seemed oblivious, her eyes clear and her brows gentle, but her posture carried a certain degree of fearless arrogance: "Master, are you going to punish Ah Xu?"

The candlelight in the Zen room flickered a few times.

for a long time.

A vague response came out of the man's throat.

Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes and met the woman's gentle gaze: "Read these three words to me."

The woman was stunned for a moment, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly explained: "Sir, you misunderstood, Ah Xu didn't mean to disrespect you..."

——She seemed to think he was angry.

Gently twisting the Buddhist beads in her palm, Rong Jianxue ignored Pei Jingxu's "explanation" and said in a hoarse voice, "Pei Jingxu, read it to me."
