After Ling Qu left, Sijin tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before feeling a little drowsy.The room was stuffy, but fortunately the hanging windows were opened beforehand, and only then did the gentle night wind blow in one after another.

Sijin turned on her side and hugged the quilt to sleep.He felt that part of his body was always hot, like a small stove.

Brother Ling Mu, who was separated by the wall, seemed to be still asleep, and Sijin could hear the sound of flipping through the papers.

In order not to disturb his sleep, the senior brother extinguished one candle.Although Sijin didn't open her eyes, she could still feel that Xiwei's lights had dimmed a lot.

Sijin lay flat, took a deep breath, and fell asleep.

Across the wall, Ling Mu was flipping through history books.He has been unable to sleep for the past few days, maybe it's because of Ling Song's absence, he always feels that he is not at ease.In order to find Ling Song, he first needs to find out the composition of the current monk army.If you want to find out the composition of the monk army, you must consult the national history of Xijue.

It is recorded in the history of the country that the monk army was originally composed of church sects scattered in various places. These sects have different paths and loose internal organizations. Few people can shock them all.Few people can be shocked. To put it another way, it means that someone has shocked the Twelve Divisions of the Seng Army.

Ling Mu originally thought that it was the Tu Shan family who was in charge of the twelve departments.But he read on and found that it wasn't what he had imagined.

There was once a highly respected Buddhist monk who traveled through countless famous mountains and rivers to gather this group of ambitious people together.And this Buddhist cultivator is the only person recorded in history who can intimidate the Twelve Divisions.

Ling Mu thought carefully based on the description in the history books, but he still couldn't remember who this venerable Buddhist monk was.After all, it has been a long time, and there has never been a description of him in the history books. It is unknown whether this Buddhist monk is still alive, let alone by his side.

"Lingmu." Suddenly, a deep voice came, and even the dim candlelight flickered twice.

Ling Mu was startled, thinking he was hallucinating, but when he looked up, he really saw Ling Song's figure.

Ling Song propped his hands on the window lattice, his brows were tightly locked, and his voice was kept low.

"You..." Ling Mu couldn't help covering his mouth, took off the cloak on his body, left the table and opened the door for him, and asked happily, "How did you come back?"

"I chased him all the way to the outside of Liangshuo City, and then I met a group of rogues and dispersed." Ling Song took a sip of tea and said.He was in a hurry, and temporarily borrowed a horse at the foot of the mountain but failed to return it in time, and the reins were still in his hand.

"It's fine. Sijin and I got permission from the host, and we are planning to go straight to the monk army to find you tomorrow morning. If you come back a day earlier, we don't have to go down the mountain." After drinking it dry, he simply poured him another bowl.

Unexpectedly, Ling Song put down the tea bowl and said, "That man is not Seng Jun."

Ling Mu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "No way. Are you sure? How do you know?"

Could it be that Sijin's news was wrong?So they started in the wrong direction?No way?

Ling Song nodded: "I'm sure. You know, I spent some time in the monk army in the early years. Although I can't generalize, the look of that person's eyebrows and eyes is not like a member of the monk army. Even..."

"Even what?" Ling Mu was curious.

Ling Song paused for a moment, then continued: "It doesn't even look like someone from Xijue."

Water and soil on one side and people on the other.The man's appearance and demeanor, it is not an exaggeration to say that he came from the far northern Xinjiang.

Ling Mu stared at him unblinkingly, with a worried expression.

"Is Sijin asleep?" Ling Song walked to the door and gently opened it.His vision was pitch black, and he could hear his steady breathing.

"Sleeping, he spent a lot of effort to find you these days." Ling Mu said.

After closing the door again, Ling Song said, "I'm afraid you won't be at ease, so I'll report that I'm safe. But I must chase after this man. It can be regarded as restoring the innocence of Taihe Temple, and giving Wumazhen an explanation."

"What? You're leaving again?" Ling Mu couldn't believe it, "Then you can't go alone, can you? Why don't I and Sijin chase after you, so that we can have someone to take care of us on the way."

"Three people walking together is too intimidating. Don't worry, I have already remembered that person's appearance and general whereabouts, so it won't be too difficult to find." Ling Song said, "If you are really alone and helpless, there is still me in the monk army. Two or three friends, don't put yourself in danger."

Ling Mu hesitated to speak, "But..."

Ling Song pushed open the door, then turned around suddenly: "That's right. I have heard a strange rumor in the past few days."

"What rumor?"

"It is said that after the eldest princess died of illness, the officials learned from the pain and decided to find a new marriage partner." Ling Song said.

Ling Mu didn't understand: "What's so strange about this? Nine times out of ten, the eldest princess died because of her marriage. The officials certainly don't want their little daughter to go the same way. For this crime, I have to let the following I think that once the news is released, those rich and powerful people must be panicked? Since ancient times, marriages have always paid attention to appearances, and princesses can't do it, so at least they should get a general's daughter?"

"It's strange here. I heard that these days, eunuchs often pretend to be ordinary people and come to Buddhist temples to inquire." Ling Song said.

"Go to the Buddhist temple to inquire? Why, the official family wants to marry a monk?" Ling Mu almost laughed out loud as if he heard some funny joke, "If you go to marry a relative, you have to be canonized more or less. Marrying a monk is hard. The officials still canonize him as the princess according to the rules? Besides, the relatives are the second, the relatives are the second, and the main thing is the harmony. People come to welcome the relatives with joy, lift the hijab to see that it is a man, and they don’t become angry the next day. Calling Xijue? This is too friendly."

Ling Mu's analysis made sense.

"Finding candidates from Buddhist temples is really the next best thing to do. It's just that I'm worried..." Ling Song hesitated to speak.

Ling Mu glanced: "What are you worried about? Is it because you are worried that the eunuchs will come to Taihe Temple to find someone?"

Ling Song didn't answer.

Ling Mu patted him on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone: "I've made up my mind, if eunuchs come to Taihe Temple to pick someone, I will be the first to recommend myself. It's okay to be the wife of the King of Northern Xinjiang if you think carefully about it." Well, it’s clean and I have books to read, and I can visit temples in northern Xinjiang in my spare time and discuss Buddhism with them.”

Ling Song frowned: "What nonsense."

Ling Mu thought too well.This is obviously a way for the government to take the opportunity to humiliate Beijiang. If he is really married, he will be alone and helpless. If the two countries go to war in the future, he will definitely be regarded as a target of public criticism and will be used to sacrifice the flag.

As the head seat of Taihe Temple, he absolutely cannot let anyone in the temple marry him.

When it was dawn, Sijin woke up.Life in the temple is very regular, and there are clear regulations on when to go to sleep and when to get up. Even after going down the mountain, Sijin's body is still following this rule.

It's just that when he woke up, he felt something soft lying on his side.

The room was dimly lit, and he couldn't see clearly, so he stretched out his hand and touched it, and found that it was a snake as thick as a lotus root.

The snake didn't sleep at all, felt Sijin's hand touching it, turned around and rubbed lightly on the back of his hand.

The rough touch in the cold made Sijin's hair stand on end.He used his feet to figure out who got this thing.

Peacocks are just too much.If you meet someone who is afraid of snakes, and wake up and find yourself sleeping in the same bed with snakes, wouldn't you just faint from fright?

"Sijin, are you awake?" Lingmu knocked on the door outside.

Sijin remembered that Brother Lingmu was very afraid of snakes.Before, a green snake was hung on the beam of the Buddha Hall of Taihe Temple, but for some unknown reason, it fell straight down and landed on Brother Ling Mu's shoulder with a thud, and he passed out without saying a word.Afterwards, the host also said that the green snake must have an inexplicable fate with him in his previous life.After waking up, Ling Mu quickly waved his hands, saying that he still doesn't want such a fate.

If Brother Lingmu sees this snake lying on his bed...

Sijin didn't dare to imagine what would happen next, he had to get rid of this clingy snake quickly.So he said in a slightly anxious tone: "I'm awake. Brother, don't come in yet!"

Ling Mu stood at the door suspiciously for a while, and when he turned around, he saw Wujin Epiphyllum, wearing a scarlet flow pattern shawl, sitting by the window with one leg dangling, resting his chin and looking into the window with a smile in his eyes.

From Lingmu's point of view, he didn't know what the city lord was watching so happily in the morning, but he also knew that the city lord was watching Sijin with his palm.I have been watching Sijin all the time.

Ling Mu had no choice but to cough to show his presence.

This succeeded in making the city lord focus on him.

"I've seen the city lord." Ling Mu saluted.

Ling Qu's smile faded away, but when he thought of something, the smile hung on his face again, and it was even brighter: "I have seen... my brother-in-law."

Sijin in the house was very busy trying to get the snake away.

Someone seemed to be talking outside the hanging window.This made him even more anxious.

It's just that the more anxious he was, the more at ease the snake seemed to be, and it even circled and circled on the bed.

For a moment, Sijin even saw the snake squinting and smiling.

"Xiaohua, please, if someone comes in later, can you hide under the bed?" Sijin clasped her hands together and said to the snake.

All things have spirits, and he didn't want to take the snake away by force.What's more, apart from accidentally sleeping on his bed, the snake didn't seem to have done anything harmful.

"Little Flower" is the temporary name Sijin gave to the snake. After all, it is inconvenient to call her without a name.It's just that the snake didn't seem to be interested in the name he gave, it didn't lift its head, and even closed its eyes leisurely.

The communication was ineffective, Sijin scratched his head, a little confused.

But then he thought about it, the snake didn't want to go out, so wouldn't it be good for him to go out by himself?

So he hurriedly changed his clothes and opened the door.Unexpectedly, just as the front foot stepped out of the threshold, the big snake's back foot slid straight out from the side.

Sijin looked over subconsciously, and Lingqu happened to be at the end of her sight.

The snake swam to Lingqu's feet, slipped along the clothes into Lingqu's inner garment, and disappeared.

Seeing him, Sijin became furious and asked him, "Why did you scare me with a snake?"

Ling Qu smiled innocently: "Nonsense, I see you are not afraid of it at all. Besides, it looks so petite and cute, wouldn't it be nice to be your companion on the road?"

Saying it is cute and thoughtful can barely accept it, but he really doesn't understand where the word "petite" comes from.

If the snake could stand up, it would be almost as tall as him!

"What's its name?" Sijin asked angrily, staring at her eyes.

"Bright silver." Ling Qu replied.

Isn't Xiao Sijin a bit too cute like this?Ling Qu's smile deepened a bit.

"No wonder..." Sijin couldn't help but say.Calling it "Little Flower" so many times, the snake ignored him even once!

"If you like it, I'll let it follow you next time. Liangyin understands people's language, and may be able to help you if you encounter danger in the future." Lingqu said.

"What do I want it to do?" Sijin said.

Seeing this, Ling Mu, who quietly watched the two talking, smoothed things over gently: "Since it is the kindness of the city lord, you can accept it."

Although it is not a serious kindness.

"Senior brother, you don't know, this peacock... oh no, this city lord is full of bad water, and I've been tricked by him over and over again." Sijin couldn't hold back, and complained to her senior brother.

Ling Mu hesitated to speak.

At this time Ling Qu became serious: "Ah Jin, why are you talking to my brother-in-law?"

Peacock: But it broke me :)
