[Legend of the White Snake] Leifeng Pagoda

37

After a while of tossing, the water was muddied by them, and sweat was mixed into the pool water. The temperature on Bai Suzhen's body became higher and higher until it gradually eased down.

Xu Xuan hugged Bai Suzhen, helped her clean up, and carried her ashore with great effort.

When he landed by himself, Xu Xuan collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

He really had a lot of exercise today. Not only did he eat less, but he also exercised so much. The water in the pool was really cold, and he shivered from the cold. While having to deal with Bai Suzhen, he also took care not to sink into the water.

Bai Suzhen's body temperature dropped, but Xu Xuan felt that his body temperature was about to rise, maybe he was about to have a fever.

Xu Xuan looked at himself, naked, especially Bai Suzhen, so he put on his clothes first, wrapped one around Bai Suzhen's body, and started looking for firewood.

Fortunately, he carried a fire pocket with him, so he didn't need to drill wood to make fire. There was a pool nearby, and the wood was too damp, so it was better to go further to find it.

After he walked away, Bai Suzhen, whom he placed by the tree to lean on, suddenly sat up, her eyes were strange yellow-green, staring at the direction Xu Xuan left, and sat there dully.

The body was only covered with a piece of clothing, but the originally white feet suddenly turned into long snake tails, hitting the ground heavily, stirring up a lot of dust.

Such a deterrent blow seemed to scare off the surrounding beasts, and the sound of rustling away was heard immediately.

It's just that this state didn't last long, Bai Suzhen suddenly felt sleepy, closed her eyes, and fell down on the tree trunk, the snake's tail was slowly retracted, as if nothing had happened, but the trapped man on the ground The marks of the blows are so obvious.

Xu Xuan didn't dare to go too far. He just picked up some firewood and came back immediately. It was dark and he couldn't see how far away.

Soon, he, who used to sleep outdoors in Qingcheng Mountain before, started a fire and sat by the fire, and Xu Xuan felt comfortable in his body.

He even picked a few fruits and ate them just now, but it's a pity that there were too few fruits, not enough for him to eat, let alone bring them to Bai Suzhen.

Seeing that Bai Suzhen was still sleeping there, Xu Xuan felt extremely tired.

He was really exhausted today, seeing Bai Suzhen's naked body, he also walked to her side, hugged her, leaned on the tree trunk together, and fell asleep quietly.

Compared with the love between this couple so affectionately, Fa Hai really didn't have the heart to think about other things.

Even Fahai, who has been clinging to Qingling all this time, had to deal with some temple matters in recent days.

And tonight, he also received a distinguished guest, who had met once many years ago, Lord Li Qi, the prefect of Zhenjiang.

This time he came here not only as the prefect of Zhenjiang, but also as the governor, who holds a high position and is loyal to the emperor.

Li Qi never thought that after so many years, he would come to Jinshan Temple again. The turmoil many years ago is really fresh in his memory, especially Fa Hai, who was such a child at the time, was so decisive in dealing with things, it really made him admire.

After meeting again for many years, Li Qi was guided by the monks to Fahai's residence. Once inside, he saw Fahai sitting cross-legged on a big rock, playing the flute leisurely by himself. .

According to the report, a few days ago, Pei Wude just came to Jinshan Temple, obviously came to ask for help, but he finally went back in despair, it can be seen that Fa Hai did not answer his call for help.

But when Fahai learned everything, there was a knife hanging above his head, which was about to fall, yet he could still be so calm, sitting there playing the flute, the sound of the flute was even more steady and long, which shows that his state of mind.

"It's really a good flute sound." Li Qi stood there, waiting for Fa Hai to finish playing, and then interrupted. He even applauded, obviously admiring Fa Hai.

Even though he was a military commander, Li Qi thought he had some insight into the rhythm. This flute sound by Fahai really made people unable to help but praise it, let alone such a beautiful flute sound under such circumstances.

"Lord Li Qi, long time no see." Fa Hai didn't even turn his head to look, and still sat on the big rock, looking at the distant scenery.

Qing Ling should be in that forest right now, find a big tree to sleep in, Fa Hai quickly caught Qing Ling's breath.

It was also the many bamboos around her that made Fahai want to play the flute. Unfortunately, such a good artistic conception was destroyed by unrelated people, just like before.

"I should still call you a holy monk. It's really a sea of ​​change." Li Qi couldn't help but sighed. After many years, he became a governor and held a high official position. A little monk in those days also became an abbot of a temple. revered.

Fa Hai didn't have much time to spend with Li Qi, "Your Excellency, if you have something to say, let's just say it." Don't bother him.

Li Qi was choked by Fa Hai's blunt words, but he quickly adjusted, "The holy monk must have guessed what the emperor was thinking. It must be the same meaning for those monks who have been placed in such a way these days. Tell the holy monk the truth. I am afraid that none of the Pei family will be able to escape, if the holy monk wants to continue to be the abbot, it is better not to participate in this matter."

Li Qi knew that the emperor had many scruples, among which Fa Hai was the most typical one. It can be said that he has been sought after by high-ranking officials and nobles these years.

Regarding Li Qi's words, Fa Hai couldn't help but sneered in his heart, and really fooled him like a fool. If none of the Pei family can escape, then Fa Hai must be among them, let alone Fa Hai who has already become a monk. In other words, the emperor's knife is not only aimed at the Pei family, it's just a bird in the early days, but more about the Buddhism behind the Pei family, especially him.

Perhaps the emperor wanted to get rid of him even more than Pei's family. Now that he said these words, he just sent Li Qi to appease him. He really couldn't be fooled like a young child.

As for the Pei family, he naturally didn't care. The Pei family will definitely die this time, but Jinshan Temple, Fahai is more concerned about this. The emperor is destroying Buddhism this time. Isn't he afraid of fueling the influence of Taoism?

This encirclement has become its own country, so how can it be a family of Buddhism? Taoism has long since benefited from it.

"My lord, let's go back. Compared with Buddhism, the so-called Wangxian Temple, the so-called attainment of the Tao, is not more attractive."

This sentence made Li Qi squint his eyes immediately, Fa Hai was mocking him, or did he mean to go to Zhao Guizhen to be good-looking!

"Since the holy monk has an idea, then I will leave." Since Fa Hai rejected Pei Wude, he probably would not help the Pei family, so the emperor can feel at ease, he is just a pawn today, he came to test Fa Hai. .

As for Zhao Guizhen, Li Qi couldn't help but frowned, what the emperor was thinking, one thing is going up and the other is going up, don't let Taoism become the second Buddhism.
