Qingfang's footsteps paused slightly, and when he saw Chu Zhou walking directly into the room without looking back, he frowned quickly.He stood there for a while, but finally went into the opposite room without saying anything.

After Chu Zhou walked into the room, he didn't hear any movement, so he realized that they were not in the same room. He turned around and saw that the Qingfang opposite was about to close the door, so he smiled at the other party and was about to speak.

Then I saw Qingfang close the door suddenly.

He was a little surprised, shook his head helplessly, and closed the door.

And Qingfang silently recited that coloring is emptiness and everything is illusory, sat on the bed, and picked up the wooden fish.

That night.

Chu Zhou was lying on the bed and fast asleep.

The past few days, eating and sleeping in the open air, can be regarded as a day and night, full of travel and dust, and now he can finally live in the inn to have a good rest, he quickly cleaned up and went to bed.

"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."

A small sound suddenly sounded in the quiet night, something was sliding quickly, sticky around the ear, creepy.

"hiss……"

The sound was getting closer, so close that it seemed to be coming from near the bed, or just echoing around the body, even closer.

Chu Zhou suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. There was no candle in the room, only the moonlight came through the window, and he could clearly see the blurred outline inside.

The tables, stools, and candlesticks by the bed were all placed there without any abnormality.

The voice he heard just now also disappeared, and now there is a deathly silence in the air, and he can't hear anything, just like a hallucination in a dream.

He let out a breath, probably dreaming.

He lay down again and closed his eyes.

When he fell asleep, "Hiss...", the voice seemed to ring out again.

Slowly, slowly, it approached his ear.

Chu Zhou opened his eyes suddenly, and when he turned his head to see the source of the sound, he sat up with a "chuckle" and quickly moved to the innermost place. The movement was too big, and he accidentally brought the candlestick down, causing it to fall to the ground with a "boom" There was a loud bang.

He didn't care about the candlestick, he stared at the slender shadow and didn't dare to relax.

It should be a snake, and it didn't respond to his panicked movements just now. It stood quietly and faced his direction, "hissing" and spitting out a letter.

One person and one snake confront each other quietly.

Suddenly, as if he had received some instructions, the snake swayed and slowly slid towards him.

At this time, Chu Zhou saw clearly that there were still a few shadows behind the snake, which were hidden in the darkness before.

"Hs...hs..."

The sound of these snakes spitting messages overlapped, making him feel a little numb, and he didn't know what to do.

The speed of the snake was very fast, and it was about to slide to his side.

"Squeak-"

The door opened, and the candlelight illuminated the whole room as the person approached.

It is Qingfang.

The snakes seemed to be frozen under the bright light, and they all stopped within a palm's distance from Chu Zhou.

There are five snakes in total, with triangular heads and bright green backs. On the outermost side, there is a white line connecting the thin neck to the tail, and the tail is slightly burnt red.

When Qingfang saw the appearance of the snakes, his face turned cold instantly, and he didn't see any movement. These snakes seemed to be entangled in something, and then crawled out listlessly.

Chu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, got off the bed, smiled gratefully at Qingfang, and wanted to organize his words before speaking.

Qingfang put down the candlestick, and said in a cold tone: "I heard the voice in your room."

ah?Chu Zhou froze for a moment, and when he saw the broken candlestick on the ground, he realized that the other party was explaining the reason.

It's just that there is no explanation for this, the sound just now was so loud at night, it's hard not to hear it.

After he thanked him, he was puzzled. He slept soundly. Where did so many poisonous snakes come from?

Qingfang's eyes became cold, and he said: "They are controlled by people."

Or, it could be a monster.

When Chu Zhou heard his words, he thought that the snake in front of him did pause for a while, as if he was receiving instructions.He frowned, he couldn't think of anyone who would do that.

Suddenly, the sharp gaze he felt when he went upstairs during the day flashed through his mind.

Could it have something to do with that line of sight?

If so, what would be the reason?

He was racking his brains to think, when he saw Qingfang walking towards the opposite side.

He hastily stretched out his hand to hold the other party, and said, "Wait, Master, I'll go to your room too."

Qingfang stopped when he heard the words, and reprimanded lightly: "Nonsense."

"Master?"

Chu Zhou was at a loss.He just thought that they would always chant scriptures and chant Buddha together on the way here, and now they can't sleep anymore, so why don't they just knock on the wooden fish with Qingfang to calm down, why are they messing around?

Qingfang glanced at him, paused, and walked quickly back to his room.

Seeing that he didn't mean to refuse, Chu Zhou was trying to find the wooden fish but remembered that it was placed in Qingfang before, so he picked up the candlestick and followed.

Qingfang was already sitting on the left side of the bed and began to chant scriptures. Chu Zhou only realized when he walked in and heard the sound of wooden fish, which cannot be heard outside.

He dimmed the candlelight a bit, picked up the wooden fish on the table and sat on the other side of the bed, closed his eyes, and knocked with peace of mind.

Qingfang was disturbed for some reason when he heard the movement around him.

His heart sutra was also a little uncomfortable, and finally, he couldn't help but opened his eyes.

The lamp was like a bean, emitting a faint yellow light, and he looked at the person next to him.

The face was hazy under the weak light, and the earnest expression looked a little bright in the flickering candlelight. His eyes looked down from the thin eyelashes, passed the straight nose, and stayed on the thin, extremely looking on soft lips.

He suddenly remembered the last dream, and his heartbeat became a little faster.In that dream, they were extremely close...

He just stared at Chu Zhou like this, until the other party suddenly opened his eyes, and he had no time to avoid it, so he met his gaze.

Those eyes were dark and clear, and they were usually a little cold, but now they were warmer in the faint candlelight, looking at him extremely gently, as if they were full of soft emotions.

Under such gazing, his emotions seemed to be a little out of control, his eyes couldn't move away at all, his heart was beating nervously, "pound, thump, thump...", after a while, the whole room was filled with the sound of his heartbeat .

Qingfang wanted to say something, trying to calm down this dangerous feeling, but he couldn't say anything.

Cut off emotion and desire, have no desire and no pursuit, only by cutting off dust and thoughts can one achieve the Buddha's mind.He quickly recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart, recalling his purpose of entering the world, and gradually, he finally felt a trace of peace.

"Master?"

Chu Zhou's voice suddenly sounded, like the sound of jade hitting, and the sound of lingling.There was also pure doubt in those eyes.

Like a stone falling into a lake, it instantly broke the pretense of calm.

Vientiane is like a dream.

But he didn't want to wake up.

He shook his head and closed his eyes.

Seeing him continue, Chu Zhou continued to chant.

Then came the next day.

Chu Zhou was going to walk around the street, wanting to inquire about the news and see if he could find the person who wanted to kill him.

Qingfang is still wearing a bamboo hat, walking with him, but today seems to talk a little bit more?

"Master, let's find out if there is anything special."

Chu Zhou suggested, he thought that since the man could manipulate snakes, he might have a group of snakes somewhere, as long as he found that place.

Qingfang nodded and said: "Yes." After a pause, he added, "Let's go."

The two walked along the path on the left.

At the beginning, there were still many people on the road, but as we walked, they gradually disappeared.The number of houses on the side of the road has also decreased and become more dilapidated.

Until a house appeared in front of me, it didn't look too big, it was surrounded by dust, and there were leaves and weeds piled up by the wall, as if it had been abandoned.

Chu Zhou was hesitating whether to go in and have a look, when he heard a rustling sound, he raised his head, and a few snakes crawled out from the courtyard wall, they were exactly the green bamboo leaves from last night.

It is here.

He was worried that there were other snakes in the yard, so he grabbed Qingfang by the sleeve, and the two of them stepped forward and opened the gate.

It was full of snakes.

black, red, green...

In the middle of the group of snakes is a man, very old, who is feeding the snakes around him.

Chu Zhou saw that he raised his head when he heard the voice, and his eyes shone with surprise when he saw them. He took two steps forward tremblingly, and opened his mouth with a whisper.

"……help me."
