This Venerable One Really Didn't Abandon My Familiar

In Yujian flying, Pei Qianyue is probably the best in the world.Ordinary people have to fly for half a day, but he needs to spend less than two hours.

When the moon was high, the two arrived outside Gusu City.

The pure white sword shadow fell into the air, and Pei Qianyue showed his figure on the top of a cliff with Feng Ci in his arms.

As soon as it landed, Feng Ci recognized the place.

This is where he stood in yesterday's dream.

Looking up, you can see a corner of the ancient temple halfway up the mountain, covered by heavy tree shadows.

Suddenly someone shouted from the side: "City Lord, this way!"

Feng Ci turned his head and saw a handsome young man waving at them.

"Finally, I've been waiting for a long time..." The young man hurried forward, before he finished speaking, he waved his hands, "I have no intention of not wanting to wait, and I don't mean that you are too late, City Lord!"

As he spoke, he met Pei Qianyue's expressionless face, shut his mouth quickly, and bowed to him in a respectful salute: "City Lord."

Only then did Pei Qianyue introduce to Feng Ci: "Xue Wei."

Feng Ci asked: "Is he the eyeliner you said sent to stare at Hanshan Temple?"

Pei Qianyue: "Yes."

"But he..."

The boy in front of him looks good, but his bones are flat and his spiritual power is low. He has just built his foundation, so he doesn't look like a disciple of Langfeng City.What's more, he didn't have the restraint and fear of other Langfeng City disciples when they looked at Pei Qianyue. The young man's eyes were bright, and he was looking back at the two of them curiously.

It was only then that Feng Ci noticed that Pei Qianyue was still holding him.

Just now, he had this position on the sword, and this posture is not a big deal. Now that he has landed on the ground, it would be a bit strange to do this again.

Feng Ci struggled consciously, but Pei Qianyue hugged him so tightly that he couldn't break free.

The boy's eyes lit up.

"..." Feng Ci was inexplicably uncomfortable by him, and he gritted his teeth, "Can you let me go? Master, respect."

Before everything is clear and the body has not been recovered, the two agreed not to reveal Feng Ci's identity.Therefore, his current identity is still Pei Qianyue's direct disciple, Lu Jingming.

Feng Ci bit the words very hard, Xue Wei blinked, and said in a small voice: "Master and apprentice."

Pei Qianyue let go of his arms, as if he was not very happy: "Understood, my lover."

"It's the middle of the year." Xue Wei said, "It's time to eat."

Feng Ci: "?"

Pei Qianyue: "..."

Pei Qianyue said: "Let's talk about business."

"Oh." Xue Wei cleared his throat and said seriously, "I've been watching the area for the past few days. There is nothing unusual about Hanshan Temple, and there are no strange people around. I received a letter from the city lord today. I went into their temple with an excuse to take a look, everything is normal. Except..."

Pei Qianyue: "Except for what?"

"Old Monk Huikong... No, I haven't been to Master Huikong, so I don't know if he is in the temple or not."

"...Master Huikong seldom goes out on weekdays. I often go to him. He likes me very much. Today, I received a message from the city lord, so I bought his favorite snacks in Gusu City and wanted to visit him. But the monks in the monastery said he was not there, I asked him where he was and didn’t answer, but they drove him out when he wanted to wait in the monastery.”

Speaking of this, Xue Wei touched his chin in puzzlement: "It feels like there is something to hide from me and I don't want to find out."

"It's indeed a bit weird." Feng Ci said.

He didn't say anything more, but turned around and walked to the edge of the cliff.

The cliff they were on happened to be in front of Hanshan Temple, and there was a small river between the two mountains. Feng Ci raised his eyes to see the full moon in the sky, and closed his eyes to feel the slight night breeze blowing on the top of the cliff.

It was exactly the same as the scene felt in the dream.

The only difference is that Hanshan Temple did not ring the bell.

Feng Ci asked: "Does Hanshan Temple ring the bell on weekdays?"

"Of course." Xue Wei replied, "Buddhas pay attention to morning bells and evening drums. They have to be struck sooner or later. I didn't pay attention today, but at this time... the bell should have already rung."

Feng Ci: "Is this early?"

"Is this the usual time?" Xue Wei scratched his hair, as if he didn't quite understand why he asked this question, "Sometimes every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, you have to strike a full [-], and it has to last until midnight."

He paused, then whispered: "It's a bit disturbing, I can't sleep."

Only on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year would the bell ring one hundred and eight, but Feng Ci clearly heard one hundred and eight bells ringing in his dream.

Feng Ci asked again: "What day is today?"

"Sixteen." Xue Wei lived among the people, and his life was much more familiar to them than Feng Ci.He answered without thinking, and was a little dazed, "Hey, it said yesterday was fifteen, why didn't I hear the bell ring..."

Feng Ci frowned thoughtfully.

He no longer had any questions to ask, so Pei Qianyue told Xue Wei, "Go back to Gusu first."

Xue Wei is indeed different from other Pei Qianyue hands. After hearing such a clear order, he dared to ask: "Doesn't the city lord need me to follow? I know this area well and can guide you."

Pei Qianyue: "Get lost."

Xue Wei shrank her neck: "Oh."

He turned and walked reluctantly.When he left, he muttered a few words, "I must think my wattage is too bright", "How can this fierce man chase his wife" and so on.

"..." Feng Ci pressed the center of his eyebrows, "This child..."

Pei Qianyue said calmly: "I often talk nonsense without rules, so there is no need to know."

Feng Ci looked at the young man's leaving back, and stopped talking for a moment, but Pei Qianyue obviously didn't want to discuss any more, so he didn't mention it anymore.

Gusu is located in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The gurgling water flows between the mountains and merges into the brightly lit city in the distance.

Pei Qianyue said: "Master hasn't been to the human world for a long time, I'll accompany you around after this matter is over."

Feng Ci stood on the top of the cliff, with the lights of Gusu City reflected in his eyes, but he shook his head: "I can get a lot in the world, what kind of things are the same, it's not very interesting."

He sighed and looked back: "It's business."

Pei Qianyue seemed to want to say something more, but Feng Ci had something on his mind right now and didn't notice.He took half a step forward and jumped up. His body seemed to be lifted by a gust of wind, and he flew up lightly.

Just like the scene in a dream, Feng Ci quickly looked at a quaint and mottled temple building and the young monk sweeping the floor in front of the temple.

Feng Ci landed in front of the temple, and behind him, Pei Qianyue also landed lightly.

The little monk put down the broom, walked towards them quickly, and performed the Buddhist ceremony: "Dare to ask the two immortals about their dharma names, what is the matter with Hanshan Temple?"

Questions similar to those in the dream.

Just as Pei Qianyue was about to answer, Feng Ci raised his hand to stop him, and asked the little monk, "Is the abbot here?"

The young monk's attitude was still polite: "The master abbot has not returned, if the immortal wants to find him, he might as well come back another day."

Feng Ci asked: "Where did Master Huikong go?"

Little monk: "I don't know."

Feng Ci: "When will he come back?"

Little monk: "I don't know."

"..." Feng Ci was silent for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's a pity, my master and Master Huikong used to be old friends, and when I came here today, I wanted to talk to Master Huikong to see if there is no such fate. No, it's getting late today, can we go in and have a rest?"

But the little monk still repeated the sentence: "The master abbot has not returned, if the immortal wants to find him, he might as well come back another day."

Feng Ci frowned, and looked back at Pei Qianyue.

Pei Qianyue was already displeased: "Do you dare to stop me?"

Little monk: "Dare to ask where the two immortals come from?"

Pei Qianyue: "Langfeng City."

The little monk's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, the door of the temple was suddenly opened: "Jing'an, how can you neglect the distinguished guests? Go."

The respondent was a young monk in his 20s. The young monk clasped his hands together and said "Yes", returned to the front of the temple, picked up the broom beside him, and started sweeping the floor again.

"Little Monk Jingchen, this must be City Lord Pei." The young monk greeted him and explained, "The small temple has been in seclusion for a long time. The monks in the temple don't know Mount Tai, so they are negligent. I hope City Lord Pei will forgive me."

Pei Qianyue asked quietly: "Can I enter this seat?"

"It's natural." Jingchen stepped aside and made a "please" gesture, "City Lord Pei please."

The two of them just set foot on the stone steps in front of the ancient temple. When passing by the temple, Feng Ci turned his head to look at the little monk named Jing'an.

"Little Master Jing'an." Feng Ci called him, "There seems to be no dust on the ground, it's getting late, let's go to rest early."

Not to mention dust, the open space at the entrance of the temple is so clean that not even a single leaf can be found.

The little monk's hand holding the broom trembled slightly, without raising his head, he recited a Buddha's mantra in a low voice.

This ancient temple has been around for a long time, and there are traces of time everywhere.It was evening class time at this time, and the sound of reciting Buddhist scriptures was floating in the temple.Feng Ci and Pei Qianyue walked together, and many monks saluted them.

"My master went on a trip a few days ago, and I'm afraid he won't be returning to the temple in a short time." Jingchen said, "If City Lord Pei has something important to do with my master, you can tell the little monk, and the little monk will pass the news on the city owner's behalf."

Pei Qianyue said: "I don't pass by here by chance. I want to talk to my old friend. If I don't arrive, I won't."

Jing Chen: "That's why."

Pei Qianyue asked around again, such as whether there were any strange things happening these days, whether there were any suspicious persons, etc. Jingchen answered them one by one, and there was nothing unusual.

Feng Ci listened and observed.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow flashing from the corner of the wall.

Feng Ci stopped.

Pei Qianyue tilted his head and asked him, "Why?"

"I seem to see..." Feng Ci pointed to the corner of the wall, but there was nothing there.Feng Ci shook his head: "It's okay."

Was it just... a little move?

Bu Fengci didn't sense any malice from Fang Li, so he didn't take it to heart.

Jingchen soon led the two to a house in a small courtyard.

"In the past, there were few visitors to the small temple, so the conditions of the guesthouses are simple, so don't blame City Lord Pei." Jingchen said.

The house in front of them was indeed not big, Feng Ci stepped forward and pushed it away, the house was even smaller than the outer disciple courtyard where he lived in Langfeng City, with a single bed.

Pei Qianyue seemed satisfied: "It's okay, we are the ones who bothered you."

As he said that, he wanted to go in, but was stopped by Jing Chen: "City Master, your room is next door."

"..." Pei Qianyue asked, "Two rooms?"

The young monk nodded and said earnestly: "Although the small temple is simple and crude, there are four or five guest houses, and there is no need to forcefully squeeze into one room."

Pei Qianyue: "..."

Pei Qianyue stood still in front of the house, Feng Ci looked at him blankly, and asked uncertainly: "Do you like this room? It's okay, I can go to the next door."

"...No need." Pei Qianyue said cleanly, "Lead the way."

After settling down, Jingchen left the courtyard.Feng Ci lay on the bed with his eyes closed and rested, listening to the knocking sound.

"Enter." Feng Ci said.

It's Pei Qianyue.

Feng Ci sat up cross-legged and asked him, "How is it?"

Pei Qianyue said: "I have checked nearby, and there is nothing unusual."

Feng Ci nodded: "It is true that there is no murderer, but..."

Pei Qianyue asked: "Does the master have any clues?"

Feng Ci thought about it, concealed some details, and told Pei Qianyue about the previous dream.

"One hundred and eight bells rang." Pei Qianyue said, "Yesterday was fifteen, but Xue Wei said that the bell was not rung yesterday, and the monks in this temple lived well."

"So it wasn't last night." Feng Ci sighed, "We don't really want to sit here for half a month, do we?"

Pei Qianyue said: "Tomorrow I will go to the vicinity to check again to see if there are any other clues."

Feng Ci nodded.

At this moment, Wai suddenly remembered a slight noise.

"Hush." ​​Feng Ci raised his hand to his lips, making Pei Qianyue silence, and turned his head to look sideways.

A fluffy head slowly opened the half-hidden room and poked in.

It's a little fox with a petite and round body, and it looks like a little ball of fur curled up by the side.His fur is dark red all over, and there are white fluff on the tips of his ears.

Feng Ci's eyes lit up.

so cute!

The little fox looked around the room with his head poking his head, and when he looked up at Feng Ci's eyes, he shrank back with an "ow".

"Hey, don't go!" Feng Ci didn't want to chase him out of the bed, but the little fox didn't run far, and was caught by him in the yard.

Fengci little fox pressed the ground and rubbed it twice: "Tell me, did you just peek at me just now?"

The little fox whimpered and rubbed Feng Ci's palm cowardly and flatteringly.

Feng Ci's soft, fluffy movements were irresistible, he couldn't hold back and rubbed them a few more times before Pei Qianyue followed: "Master, this fox..."

"It's a demon, I know." Feng Ci didn't raise his head, "But it's such a small ball, so cute."

"fuzzy."

"It feels so soft, you want to try it too?"

Pei Qianyue: "..."

Pei Qianyue gritted her teeth: "...not trying."

The little fox felt a killing intent from the big demon for no reason, and the fur all over his body exploded instantly.
