◎ "Master Zhenyi has passed away."◎
"Didn't Miss An get enough rest last night?"
When An Jiu got up early in the morning, he heard a voice beside him. When he turned around, he saw Pei Ji watering the flowers in the yard.
There was a flower bed in the courtyard, with many flowers and plants planted there, but An Jiu couldn't recognize any of them.
Pei Ji, on the other hand, was very familiar with all the flowers and plants. He recognized several medicinal herbs among them as soon as he moved in. He even asked the master in the temple if he could pick some when he left.
After getting a positive answer, I will take good care of it when I have nothing to do on weekdays.
An Jiu responded listlessly: "Yeah, how did you know that?"
The young man in white said in a gentle voice, "I see that Miss An looks haggard. If you have trouble sleeping, you can come to me and ask me to prescribe some soothing soup for you."
Haha, you stupid idiot, you're the one who made me unable to sleep well!
An Jiu shook his head: "It's not that I can't sleep well..."
He paused, then suddenly stopped talking, frowned irritably, and quickly changed the subject, "Pei Ji, when are we leaving Wuyin Temple?"
Pei Ji raised his eyes, and looked at her deeply with a pair of dark pupils. He asked doubtfully, "Why do you want to leave, Miss An? Isn't it good here?"
"No, I just want to find Brother He. No, I miss Lin Qingyan. Let's go find them!"
Speaking of He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan, the girl's pale face seemed to suddenly light up, and her dim eyes suddenly became bright.
Does she think it's dangerous here, so she wants He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan to protect her?
Pei Ji's eyebrows were curved, and there was a smile on his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"I'm afraid it will take a few days, maybe three or four days." He spoke gently and was very considerate.
An Jiu frowned impatiently and asked anxiously, "Why does it take another three or four days?"
The young man in white looked relaxed and said slowly, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? Master Zhenyi's time is coming and he will pass away soon. He invited us to watch the ceremony together, so it's inconvenient for us to leave early."
"Ah..." The girl was stunned for a moment, and murmured after a while, "So what you said is true? I thought..."
So she didn't actually believe what he said?
Then why didn’t I see her looking for Feichen yesterday?
Pei Ji's face flashed with confusion. He felt that this question was very important, so he asked inquiringly, "Why?"
Under his unblinking gaze, the girl pursed her lips unconsciously, and a slight blush appeared at her ears.
She blinked her eyes quickly and said hastily, "No, nothing."
She ran away in a flash, her red skirt fluttering in the wind. The fiery red hem of her skirt was like a wave, brushing over the threshold and disappearing.
Pei Ji stared in deep thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what she was thinking about just now.
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea.
But what made him happy was that An Jiu did not go to look for Fei Chen that day.
At noon, the three of them went to the dining hall to eat vegetarian food together. Although An Jiu saw Fei Chen in the dining hall, he did not enthusiastically go up to him to eat with him like he did in the previous few days. Instead, he secretly glanced at the white-robed monk a few times and then stayed where he was obediently.
Logically speaking, Pei Ji should be happy.
She was very obedient and stopped bothering other men.
But when he thought of the reluctant look in the girl's eyes as she quietly looked at the white-robed monk, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
The young man in white frowned slightly and said with a smile, "Miss An."
"Ah?" The girl who was absent-mindedly eating her vegetarian meal raised her head.
Pei Ji raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Feichen, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Feichen is there, why don't you go find him?"
The man had a handsome face, with a smile on his face, and his black eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was giving advice with good intentions, but also as if he was watching a show in a malicious way.
An Jiu was speechless for a moment: "..."
How can there be such a person in the world? He must be a complete pervert!
It was he who told her not to look for Feichen, and now it was him who asked her to look for Feichen.
An Jiu believed that if she really went there now, either Fei Chen or she would die tonight.
In short, one of them must die.
She really didn't expect that this villain would be so deadly when he turned evil. If she had known that he would be so terrible when he turned evil, she would not have revealed his true face and would have continued to act with him!
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now QAQ.
"Haha, I won't bother you, Master. Let's eat, eat."
An Jiu smiled dryly and buried his head in eating his meal.
However, before she had dug for a while, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She looked and saw a handsome monk in a snow-white robe walking towards her.
Good guy, Feichen came to the door himself.
An Jiu's face was stiff and he slowly turned to look at Pei Ji.
Pei Ji, on the other hand, looked calm and unmoved, with a faint smile on his face. However, there was no warmth in that smile, as if it was made of cement and was full of falsehood.
At this moment, only one emoticon can describe An Jiu's mood.
【Don't come over here.jpg】
Feichen couldn't hear her thoughts, but still walked over.
"Tanyue An, and Doctor Pei, do you like the food in this temple?"
A cold male voice sounded above his head. An Jiu raised his head and met the clear eyes of the white-robed monk, which were filled with pure concern.
An Jiu glanced at the man sitting opposite him and whispered, "It's OK... but there's no meat."
Everything about Wuyin Temple is good. The people there are kind, the scenery is beautiful and the environment is nice. The only bad thing is that it is too plain. Anjiu eats grass for three meals a day. He feels like he is becoming a sheep.
Upon hearing this, Fei Chen couldn't help but frowned in embarrassment, clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha".
"The monks are compassionate. There is no meat in the temple. Please be patient for a while."
An Jiu shook his head sympathetically: "No, it's okay, we're almost down the mountain anyway."
As she spoke, she glanced at Pei Ji secretly.
The young man in white's expression remained unchanged and it was impossible to tell what his mood was. An Jiu could only talk to Fei Chen in a casual manner and did not dare to be too enthusiastic at all.
Fortunately, Fei Chen didn’t stay for long. He just said a few simple words and then left.
I don’t know if it’s because of what happened to my master, Master Zhenyi, but there’s a gloom lingering between Feichen’s brows, as if a dark cloud is floating in the endless blue sky.
An Jiu couldn't help it and called him before he left.
"Master Feichen, please... accept my condolences."
The white-robed monk was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his slightly frowned brows relaxed a little.
He nodded slightly at her and said, "Thank you, Mr. An. The Buddhist scripture you gave me that day is very profound. I will come back to discuss the truth with Mr. An after I finish reading it."
Watching Feichen's back slowly disappearing, An Jiu suddenly felt a little relieved.
In this life, the little monk will not die in hopelessness like in the original book, right?
"The person has left, what are you still looking at?"
A cold voice suddenly rang in Anji's ears. Anji's back tightened and he suddenly turned his head.
This subconscious reaction aroused Pei Ji's vigilance. He narrowed his narrow black eyes and smiled faintly: "Why is Miss An so nervous? Are you... afraid of me?"
Oops, he noticed.
His behavior last night was so unexpected that An Jiu couldn't adjust for a while and confused the two of them.
Fei Yi is Fei Yi, Pei Ji is Pei Ji. Even if she knows that they are the same person, she must never show it!
After quickly preparing himself mentally, An Jiu shook his head like a rattle and said stumblingly, "I, I'm not afraid of you. You're a cripple, who would be afraid of you?"
When she finished speaking, the girl's tone had become righteous.
"Really?" There was still a hint of inquiry in Pei Ji's eyes.
However, the girl pushed the bowl away impatiently and said to him arrogantly: "This meal is so disgusting, I don't want to eat it. Pei Ji, I want to eat meat!"
Looking at the obvious arrogance on the girl's face, the young man in white slowly withdrew his gaze. Maybe it was just an illusion?
Pei Ji said calmly: "Buddhist Feichen also said that there is no meat on the mountain."
The eldest lady refused to give in and continued to throw a tantrum as usual: "I don't care, I just want to eat meat! Aren't there birds and fish in the mountains? Go catch them for me to eat."
A familiar feeling of helplessness filled his heart, but for some reason, Pei Ji actually had a strange sense of security.
An Jiu has ignored him for too long these days, and it has been a long time since he threw a tantrum like this.
It was better for her to throw a tantrum at him than to ignore him directly. Even the anger she had just felt from talking to Fei Chen disappeared bit by bit amid the chirping noises of the young girl.
"Pei Ji, I also want to eat braised fish and beggar's chicken, and the beggar's chicken must be stuffed with mushrooms... Pei Ji, did you hear me?"
After dinner, the three of them were on their way back.
Pei Ji said: "Even if we catch fish and chicken, we have nowhere to cook them."
"You should think of a way. Brother He entrusted me to you, is this how you take care of me? Anyway, I don't care. I'm going to eat these. I've become thinner after staying here for a few days. Look at my face, isn't it smaller?"
The girl said this, tilting her little head and moving closer to him.
Pei Ji looked carefully for a while and shook his head: "I can't see it."
An Jiu: "?? What are you looking at?"
After a while, she suggested again with great interest, "Why don't you borrow their kitchen when the time comes? Wouldn't that be good?"
Not to mention Pei Ji, even Ah Qi couldn't help but said, "Miss An, if we really do this, we will be kicked out of Wuyin Temple tomorrow."
Anjiu blinked, "Why?"
"This is a sacred place for Buddhism, and killing is forbidden."
After saying this slowly, the young man in white couldn't help but curl his eyes at the girl who was looking at him stupidly.
That night, An Jiu finally got to eat meat.
They didn't make it themselves, but Pei Ji asked Ah Qi to go down the mountain to buy it from the market. They hid in the room and ate it with their mouths full of oil. After eating, they found a place to bury the chicken bones.
For fear of being discovered by the monks in the temple, they were driven down the mountain overnight.
In the next few days, An Jiu did not go to find Fei Chen, and stayed with Pei Ji obediently.
Maybe she behaved well, and "Fei Yi" didn't come to her again.
On the seventh night after arriving at Wuyin Temple, An Jiu was suddenly awakened from his sleep by the sound of a bell.
The sound of the bell was extremely loud, and in the dead of night, it could be heard from far away. From the originally silent forest, there could be heard the sound of birds flapping their wings.
An Jiu got up sleepily, opened the door, and saw Pei Ji also sitting at the door, looking in the direction where the bell sound came from.
Noticing her gaze, he turned to look at her, his narrow black eyes were deep and silent, dim in the deep night.
"Master Zhenyi has passed away."
A plain and emotionless voice floated into the eardrum.
An Jiu suddenly started to wake up.
