Chu Yue trotted over, and the rain wet his shoes, but he didn't care, and ran straight to the two of them.

"I've met your lord, Mr. Mo." He smiled slightly and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Shen Zheyu adjusted his mood.

"That's it," Chu Yue smiled happily, "Tomorrow is the annual deed-making day of Jingkong Temple, and there will be some celebrations. Master is in retreat due to his injury, and the disciples want to invite the Lord to preside over it. willing?"

Shen Zheyu nodded in agreement: "Okay, thank you for your kindness."

The day of making a contract is a unique festival in Jingkong Temple, commemorating the day when Master Lianxin successfully researched the contract technique and the birth of the No.1 contracted corpse boy.

Shen Zheyu agreed, and looked around: "Didn't Huaikong accompany you today?"

Chu Yue shook her head: "He left the temple today for something, and I don't know where he went."

He was a little disappointed in his words, and then suddenly realized that he was too explicit, bit his lip, and stopped talking shyly.

Shen Zheyu asked: "How did you... meet him before?"

Shen Zheyu was not a gossip person originally, but after Sumo's teasing and half-reminding just now, he felt that it was necessary to advance the progress of the bet, so knowing the past of Chu Yue and Huaikong was essential.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yue was taken aback when she heard this, and shook her head in a daze: "Sorry, lord, I don't remember what happened before I was alive."

Even Su Mo was a little surprised by this: "Don't remember?"

Chu Yue smiled: "I am different from other contracted corpses. It is said that I died because of a severe head injury, which affected my memory. After waking up, I don't remember much about my life."

Shen Zheyu: "Can't remember at all?"

Chu Yue tilted her head and thought for a long time: "I vaguely remember some vague fragments. It seems that I lived with him in a very luxurious mansion before, and there were many servants serving him. The most clear picture I remember is him standing in the courtyard Beside a pond, the full moon in the sky reflected on the water, which was very beautiful. He turned his head to look at me, smiling very softly."

Said, slightly blushing.

Shen Zheyu tentatively asked: "Before he came to Jingkong Temple, he should have been a very prestigious person?"

Chu Yue nodded: "It is said that it is the prince of the dynasty who insists on becoming a monk at Jingkong Temple because of me. It is said that because of this incident, there was a big conflict with his brother, who is the current emperor. , the emperor has not allowed him to be ordained."

Shen Zheyu nodded silently.It's no wonder that Huai's temperament is extraordinary, and he is also the only unshaven monk in the temple.

Su Mo asked with great interest: "Then he didn't tell you anything about the past?"

Chu Yue shook her head: "He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask too much. In fact, the past is not important. I only know that since I opened my eyes in Jingkong Temple, he is the only one I can trust and rely on in this world." The person I want to protect is the only one I want to protect..."

He spoke with sincerity, Shen Zheyu's eyes trembled slightly, and Su Mo chuckled lightly: "Interesting..."

After Chu Yue left, Su Mo whispered in Shen Zheyu's ear, "In the first round of the bet, I seem to have the upper hand."

Shen Zheyu didn't take it seriously: "The two of them are indeed infatuated with each other, but, if this infatuation is really flawless and perfect, why doesn't Huaikong mention anything about the past?"

Su Mo said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, if things are too simple, they will be boring."

Before Shen Zheyu could answer, she saw several disciples rushing over in a panic: "It's not good, Master Huaikong was attacked by a walking corpse outside, and was seriously injured. Please, the Lord, go and rescue him!"

Shen Zheyu nodded slightly, and immediately followed those disciples with Su Mo.When I came to the Buddhist hall in the front hall, I saw several monks carrying Huai Kong to the low couch in the hall.There was a bowl-sized wound on Huaikong's chest, bleeding profusely, and his complexion was pale.Chu Yue stood by and watched over him, tears streaming down her eyes.

"My lord!" Chu Yue turned her head to see Shen Zheyu, and immediately fell to her knees, "I beg you to save my lord!"

He was so anxious that he forgot to address Huaikong by his dharma title, but he habitually used the address they used when they got along in private.

Shen Zheyu raised his hand to signal him not to worry, and stepped forward to check Huaikong's injury.Huaikong's aura was very disordered and weak, but his mind was still clear, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Thank you, my lord..."

Shen Zheyu stabilized his pulse with the glass heart method, and ordered someone to fetch the elixir to stop the bleeding and invigorate Qi, finally saved his life.Huaikong thanked him, but his eyes rolled away, he looked at Chu Yue beside him, and stretched out his hand with difficulty: "Chu Yue..." "I'm here..." Chu Yue's tears fell down in a blink of an eye. Hold his hand tightly.

"Don't cry..." Huaikong wiped away his tears with trembling hands, "I...will not die, for you, I will definitely live..."

Chu Yue broke down in tears, and blamed herself very much: "My lord, why do you insist on not letting me go with you today? If I were by your side, maybe you wouldn't be hurt so badly..."

Huaikong took something out of his arms with great effort, and gently put it in his hand:

"I'm sorry, Chu Yue, I wanted... I wanted to give you a surprise on tomorrow's wedding day, so I..."

Chu Yue took it and saw that it was a small delicate dagger with a small crescent moon embossed on the scabbard.

"This is..." Chu Yue choked with surprise, "Your Highness is planning to give it to me?"

Huaikong nodded: "Yes...you always lack a close-fitting dagger when you fight with walking corpses, so I thought of going down the mountain to find one for you..."

Before the words fell, the spirit was stretched to the limit, and he passed out.

"My lord! My lord!" Chu Yue whimpered and clenched her dagger tightly.

Huaikong's life was safe at last, and Chu Yue stayed by his side all night, running up and down, carrying water to bandage him, and brought many ice cubes stored in the temple to cool down his high fever, so busy wiping his hands No work on the face.

Master Lianxin was recuperating to heal his wounds, and Shen Zheyu carried out all orders in the temple on his behalf.After dawn, he went to check on Huaikong again, and found that he was awake, his fever subsided, and he was able to get out of bed.

On the contrary, Chu Yue was overtired to take care of him, and fell asleep half lying beside him.

Seeing Shen Zheyu come into the house to visit him, Huaikong got up slightly to pay tribute: "The lord cares about the disciple so much, the disciple is very grateful."

His tone was still neither humble nor overbearing, but he was indeed sincere. Even though the emotion contained in it was a bit indifferent, the good upbringing revealed in it was not offensive.Shen Zheyu practiced kung fu for him to heal his injuries, and then asked about his encounter with a walking corpse yesterday.

"It is said that walking corpses do not appear during the day, why did you encounter walking corpses at the foot of the mountain yesterday?"

Huaikong lowered his eyes lightly and said: "I didn't expect it, so I couldn't guard against it. I met one of the four Rakshasas under Huang Wuji. At that time, he was wandering around the mountainside and collided with the disciple on the way home."

"Raksha?" Shen Zheyu frowned, "Is it one of the four giant walking corpses that carried the sedan chair for him?"

"Exactly."

Su Mo laughed and said: "I said earlier that Huang Wuji is suspicious by nature, this Raksha should be secretly sent by him to investigate the situation first. He must want to confirm Ben...to confirm whether the Demon Lord is nearby or not."

Huaikong sighed: "It's a pity that my cultivation is too shallow, and I can't deal with Rakshasa."

Shen Zheyu said in a deep voice: "Next time, don't act alone. Although you want to treat Chu Yue well, it's too dangerous."

Huaikong heard this, but frowned slightly, and sighed: "The lord has said it, I haven't done enough to Chu Yue, it's not very good."

Shen Zheyu wondered, "Why did you say that?"

Huaikong shook his head: "I owe Chu Yue too much, no matter how good I am to him, it's hard to make up for it..."

When Su Mo heard this, he let out a slight "oh", and a slight smile appeared on his face, as if he was a little surprised but also full of interest.

Shen Zheyu was silent, he wanted to ask Huaikong why he said that, but he felt it was inappropriate.

He quietly looked back at Su Mo, who happened to meet his eyes.

After coming out of Huaikong's room, Shen Zheyu was the first to break the silence: "You should also see that the relationship between Huaikong and Chu Yue is by no means pure, and may not be as beautiful as you expected. This round, I won .”

Su Mo said with a smile: "I never expected to be perfect, that kind of thing doesn't exist in this world."

"If Huaikong was really ashamed of Chu Yue, how could the two of them have a good death? Sumo, you can't win."

Su Mo shook his head: "Do you think that only a flawless relationship can have a good result?"

Shen Zheyu asked back: "Don't you think that's pure?"

Su Mo sneered: "Of course it's pure. But it's also like flowers in a greenhouse, which can't withstand torture. On the contrary, I feel that the relationship that has gone through hardships is more steadfast."

"..." Shen Zheyu couldn't deny that what he said had a little truth.

It was the day of the deed, and the contracted corpse youths in the temple hung up lanterns one after another, pasted many beautiful paper-cuts on the windows, and prepared fruit snacks. They were busy and noisy.

Shen Zheyu presided over the various arrangements for the day on behalf of Master Lianxin.He had been living in the Liuli Palace before, and he had never investigated the schools and factions of the Righteous Way. It was the first time he celebrated such a festive festival with his subordinates and disciples at such a close distance, and he found it interesting.

Although Huang Wuji's crisis has not been resolved, he subconsciously feels at ease.

——Probably, it was because Su Mo was by his side.

Shen Zheyu considered various arrangements, and Sumo put forward some suggestions intentionally or unintentionally, each of which was very appropriate and was approved by everyone.He has only stayed in Jingkong Temple for two days, and the hostility and disgust towards him from the monks has disappeared a lot, and his impression in the hearts of everyone has successfully changed from a disciple who belittled his lord to a close friend of the lord .

Shen Zheyu looked at Su Mo's profile intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that he was lazily instructing a disciple about guarding at night.He leaned to the side, his posture was very casual, but his tone could not be refused:

"The war is imminent, and we must not lose our guard during the festival. People must be strictly guarded at the gates of all temples, and come to report immediately if there is any abnormality."

The disciple nodded in agreement, Su Mo thought for a while and said: "Since today is special, let everyone take turns to change guards to ensure that everyone can participate in the celebration."

"..." Shen Zheyu suddenly felt that he was quite suitable to be the dragon head of the righteous way!

When it was time for dinner at dusk, everything was almost ready, and Liu Feng's carefree voice resounded throughout the temple:

"Damn donkey, hurry up and bring all the food here!"

Shen Zheyu looked up, and saw Huaiyuan's thin body carrying a load of various meals, walking towards the yard.Liufeng walked in front of him, holding a few tables and stools, walking with wind, very imposing.Behind him were Bai Shuo, Chu Yue and other teenagers who also helped move the tables and stools.

They set up the tables and chairs in the yard, Huaiyuan then took out the meals they had brought from the box one by one and put them on the table.Although Liu Feng kept reprimanding him for not putting this place and that place properly, but he had a rare smile on his face, chatting with Bai Shuo and the others, very excited.

There were a lot of monks and contracted corpses celebrating the festival together, and Huaiyuan had to run several times to bring all the food.Everything was ready, Liufeng waved to Shen Zheyu and Sumo:

"My lord, Mr. Mo, please take your seat!"

Shen Zheyu nodded slightly, and walked to Chu Yueliufeng and Bai Shuo's table.Everyone has consciously reserved two places for him and Su Mo.When the two sat down, Su Mo suddenly said:

"How can there be no wine on such a beautiful day? I suggest that everyone drink to their heart's content all night, how about it?"

Huai Jing, who was always serious, refused solemnly: "Monks are not allowed to drink alcohol or meat."

Liu Feng excitedly agreed: "I want to drink! It's a bald donkey's business to break the precepts, and I'm not a monk, so I'm not bound by the precepts!"

The teenagers agreed one after another, and looked at Shen Zheyu eagerly, waiting for him to make the decision.

Shen Zheyu looked sideways at Shang Sumo's eyes with great interest, and asked him secretly through voice transmission: "What do you want to incite monks to drink?"

Su Mo smiled slightly: "Why stick to the old rules? These monks and contracted corpses go through life and death all day long, and it's hard to celebrate a festival, and you want them to use only clear soup and little water? The life of the righteous way is really miserable! I really can't stand it anymore ..."

Shen Zheyu didn't say a word, just looked at him coldly.

Su Mo looked at him for a while, then smiled helplessly: "That's all, I'm telling the truth."

"Let's talk."—This guy really has another purpose.

"The absolute truth." Su Mo said firmly through voice transmission, "I'm not thinking of them."

"I just want to see you drinking."

"I want to have a drink with you, too."
