The cannon fodder girl is rebellious, and she is a fool to catch ghosts and win.

Pei Qi and Luo Heng both cherished this hard-won opportunity to meet A Li, and they took her to see as much of the world as possible in one day.

The two of them followed A Li and watched her walking among the crowd, smiling brightly and unable to take their eyes away.

"Luo Heng, don't forget, you are a monk!" Pei Qi suddenly said.

"Don't forget what sword you are holding, little general!" Luo Heng replied.

Pei Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the Demon Suppressing Sword and chuckled:

"My sword kills evil people and suppresses demons. Ah Li is neither a villain nor a demon!"

"Even so, it's impossible for you and her." Luo Heng said calmly.

Pei Qi: "You've never tried it, how do you know it's impossible! It's you and her who are the most unlikely!"

Luo Heng did not refute. He had been placed with high hopes since he was born. He was the future national master of the Yun Kingdom and the most outstanding disciple of Buddhism. He would be ordained and became a monk as soon as he reached adulthood. Being with a underworld carp... was indeed impossible!

"Yu Ji's flower cakes are out of the oven. I'll buy more for her and take them back. Keep an eye on her and don't let her run away."

After saying that, Pei Qi left.

Luo Heng walked to Ah Li, and she suddenly picked up a carp mask and put it on his face:

"Wear it and you will be my kind. Don't call me a fish demon anymore!"

Luo Heng was about to take the mask, but Ah Li withdrew his hand:

"Forget it! You look so good-looking. If you put on this mask, I won't be able to see your face. It's better not to wear it!"

Luo Heng looked at A Li's smile and suddenly laughed too:

"Okay, it's up to you, don't wear it!"

At this time, Pei Qi came back with Hua Gao. A Li smiled so much that his eyes narrowed when he saw Hua Gao.

As the sun set, bells rang in the distance. Luo Heng's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the palace.

"Luo Heng, where are you going?"

A Li was about to catch up when Pei Qi stopped her:

"His master is back. This is the bell summoning him. He must go back!"

"What are you going to do?" A Li asked.

Pei Qi said helplessly: "He is a lay disciple of Buddhism. He is not much different from a monk. What else can he do if we ask him to go back and chant sutras and chant the Buddha's name?"

Ah Li sighed: "He is so pitiful!"

"There is nothing to be pitiful about. This is the path he is destined to take, just like me, when I picked up this demon-suppressing sword, I was destined to protect this country!" Pei Qi said seriously.

Ah Li didn't speak, as if he didn't understand.

When the time came, A Li said goodbye to Pei Qi. After Pei Qi left, A Li ignored the water demon's urging and used the demon power to enter the palace and found Luo Heng who was chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall.

Luo Heng was startled when she suddenly appeared. After reacting, a look of surprise filled his eyes:

"A Li, why are you here?"

"Aqi said that you came back to chant sutras and chant Buddha's name. I was afraid that you would be bored, so I gave you something to accompany you!"

Ah Li took out a carp carved from wood and stuffed it into Luo Heng's hand:

"Put it next to you when you chant sutras from now on. With it by your side, you won't be lonely or bored!"

Seeing A Li's smile, Luo Heng's heart suddenly trembled.

From the time he could remember, his master told him that he was a born disciple of the Buddha and would succeed him as a national preceptor in the future, so he was asked to recite sutras and recite the Buddha's name every day to abandon greed, hatred and delusion.

Everyone thought that he should be so peaceful, except the Ah Li in front of him.

In a daze, Luo Heng suddenly heard footsteps, and he suddenly panicked:

"My master is here, hide now!"

Ah Li immediately turned into a stream of light and got into the wooden carp. Luo Heng put the wooden carp into his arms and hid it.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

Ah Li could clearly hear Luo Heng's heartbeat, and Luo Heng could also feel something on his chest pressing against his heart.

"Luo Heng, why are you not calm?" The master was keenly aware of something wrong with Luo Heng.

Luo Heng suppressed the panic in his heart and answered:

"Master, forgive me. General Pei forced me to go on a trip today, so I was upset."

"Luo Heng, please remember that you are a born Buddhist. You should not have too much contact with people in the world. Keep your Buddhist heart. Only in this way can the teacher rest assured and entrust you with the important task of protecting the Yun Kingdom!"

"Yes! Master!"

After the master left, Luo Heng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly released A Li.

"It's okay, come out!"

As soon as Ah Li emerged from the wooden carp, Luo Heng's master left and returned:

"The bold fish monster dares to break into the palace without permission!"

Luo Heng was shocked: "Ah Li, hurry up!"

After saying that, Luo Heng built a Buddha's light to block the master's whisk.

Ah Li ran away quickly.

The fly whisk was repulsed, and the master was furious: "Luo Heng, you are colluding with a fish monster. It is in vain that I have spent all my time teaching you!"

"Master, Ah Li is not a fish demon, but a ghost carp. She protects the River Styx and has never harmed anyone. She is just a demon!" Luo Heng said anxiously.

The master looked into Luo Heng's eyes and suddenly realized something:

"Luo Heng, you actually have a crush on that fish demon!"

Luo Heng did not refute, but clasped his hands together and slowly knelt down: "Master, I know my mistake!"

"Luo Heng, Luo Heng, I thought you had seen through the world of mortals, but I never thought that you would still be in love!"

The master looked disappointed, but Luo Heng retorted:

"Master always talks about seeing through the world of mortals, but I have never been in the world of mortals. How can I see through it?"

"you……"

The master was so angry that he only left one sentence: "I'll think about my mistakes in a quiet room" and then walked away.

Ming Li returned to the underworld from the moat, but was still worried about Luo Heng's safety.

The Styx Water Demon saw her thoughts and took the initiative to open the ghost gate and let her take a look at Luo Heng's condition.

Luo Heng was punished and kept in a solitary cell for ten days without water or rice. If Pei Qi had not taken advantage of his position to send him some food and water, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Pei Qi stopped Ah Li outside the palace gate:

"The Imperial Master has set up a formation outside the quiet room, you can't see him!"

"I hurt him, right?" A Li asked with tears in his eyes.

Pei Qi couldn't bear to see her so sad, so he could only comfort her:

"It's not your fault, it's just that he shouldn't have been tempted!"

"Shouldn't? Why do you all say he shouldn't? Why should you decide what he should do and what he shouldn't do?" Ah Li said angrily.

Pei Qi lowered his eyes slightly: "This is his fate and cannot be changed!"

"A Li, go back and don't come out for the Hairpin Festival next year!"

Ah Li was puzzled: "Why?"

Pei Qi said in a deep voice: "The Three Kingdoms have raised their troops and the city has been destroyed. I am going to go on an expedition. I am afraid this battle will take a long time, so I may not be able to accompany you during the Hairpin Festival next year!"

"What about Luo Heng?" Ah Li asked hurriedly.

Pei Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm leaving, don't you care about me?"

Ah Li thought for a while and pulled out a piece of fish scale from his heart.

The moment the fish scales were pulled off, her face turned pale, and Pei Qi quickly supported her:

"What are you doing?"

Ah Li put the fish scale in his hand: "This is my heart-protecting scale. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Take it!"

Pei Qi's eyes were red: "Fool, I just want you to bless me, I didn't ask you to pull out the scales!"

"Does it hurt?"

Ah Li smiled: "It won't hurt."

At this time, the horn sounded in the distance, and Pei Qi knew it was time to leave.

"Ah Li, go back and don't come back to the human world again until the war is over!"

Pei Qi sent A Li to the moat, watched her leave, and then embarked on the road to the expedition.
