One day later, we visited Zexin Temple in Longyou Lake.

A full day has passed since the previous battle, and the entire lake has returned to its former calm.

But the people living around Longyou Lake have never forgotten the violent storm yesterday.

Whether it was the unbelievably huge green and white snakes, or the image of King Kong carrying the Dragon Girl and Bodhisattva on his back to force his way through the gates of hell, they were all firmly etched into their memories.

So after the heavy rain stopped, the people near Longyou Lake took courage and rowed their boats, getting closer to the Zexin Temple in the middle of the lake.

The mood is different from every time I go to Zeshin Temple in the past.

These people are now not only afraid of what they saw yesterday, but also have some pious faith in Zexin Temple in the center of the lake.

After all, during the hundreds of years after the demise of Dragon Girl Bodhisattva, the people who still lived in this area more or less believed in the legendary Bodhisattva.

Especially when the dams in Nandu have burst in the past two years, these people who rely on water for food have no other way to survive and can only pray helplessly to the Dragon Girl Bodhisattva.

However, when these people came to the entrance of the pier, they were surprised to find a group of young people here, busy directing the passing ships.

All ships whose hulls reached a certain height were semi-forced into another river channel by this group of young people.

Only small fishing boats in twos and threes will be allowed to enter the pier through this river.

What's even more surprising is that in addition to the fishermen who live nearby, there seem to be many dignitaries who are rarely seen here.

Most of the slightly larger ships were temporarily hired by dignitaries.

However, no matter how arrogant these dignitaries are at ordinary times, they dare not make any complaints when faced with the semi-forced guidance of young people.

"If you want to pray for help, go this way, if you have any other purpose, go that way!"

As if he didn't notice the ugly faces of those dignitaries at all, behind this group of young people, a thin old man with white hair and beard was talking in an orderly manner.

I wonder if it’s the common people’s misunderstanding, but they always feel that this old man looks familiar?

And those people who often went to Runzhou to do business were surprised to find that this old man was actually seventy or eighty percent similar to the landowner in Runzhou City.

But compared to the current identity of this old man, what really makes it difficult for the people to understand is what happened here.

"Zesin Temple...has it reopened?"

Seeing this situation, the first people who came here couldn't help but talk to themselves.

Ever since the governor Zhang Yuanze failed to change Zexin Temple into Heshen Temple, even ordinary people have been vaguely aware of the strangeness of this temple.

Combined with the two consecutive years of Nandu embankment bursting, nearby people believed that this was the appearance of the Dragon Girl Bodhisattva after being angered.

Especially since a series of near-"miraculous" events occurred yesterday, the people's fear of Zexin Temple has naturally become even more intense.

Therefore, after learning that today's Zexin Temple can actually pray for blessings and burn incense, even those who originally believed in the Dragon Girl Bodhisattva will inevitably feel a little surprised.

"He's causing trouble for himself again."

Looking down at the boats at the foot of the mountain, Xiaoqing, who transformed into a little snake again, yawned and said.

"But that's his character, isn't it?"

Huiji, who appeared quietly behind Xiaoqing, her body translucent, responded with a smile.

"After all, isn't this all the trouble you threw at him?"

"Starting from the finger bones of Sakyamuni, he has been taking care of the aftermath for you."

Xiaoqing, who slowly curled up her body and was not surprised at all by Hui Ji's appearance, whispered.

"If it weren't for you, he would be chanting sutras at Miyin Temple right now, and I would still be drinking in a wine shop in Tanzhou..."

He did not hide his dislike for Hui Ji, but Xiaoqing showed his sharp fangs in a menacing manner while talking.

If it weren't for the fact that her current body was just a body, Hui Ji had no doubt that the other party would take such a bite of her while she wasn't paying attention.

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Continuing to maintain her usual smile, Hui Ji shook her head indifferently.

"Wende has never been the kind of character who can take things easy..."

"Even if he doesn't come to me, he will get involved in other troubles sooner or later."

One sentence revealed Pei Wende's character. Huiji didn't think Xiaoqing could persuade her junior brother.

Rather, if Xiaoqing could really persuade Pei Wende, her relationship with Huiji would not be so tense now.

"One code equals the other. This is not why you are causing trouble for him."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Huiji's face finally couldn't hold back.

"Oh, I thought things were too simple at first..."

Sighing deeply, Huiji, who had never shown any embarrassment in front of Pei Wende, said helplessly.

"To establish a 'Buddha Kingdom on Earth' where people can live and work in peace and contentment is simply not something that one person can accomplish."

"And besides Qiong Jun and Wen De, I have no one else I can trust."

This is the price Huiji pays for going her own way.

He did not regret his choice, Huiji was just a little confused, not knowing whether he would be able to realize his ambition in his lifetime.

"The New Land Deal alone has made me a loner..."

"What kind of difficulties will we face in the following economic restructuring, education popularization, technological innovation, and even the comprehensive industrialization that Wende calls it?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

"The only thing I can be sure of is that Wende has pointed out the direction for me, and I will carry it out unswervingly."

When she said this, Hui Ji's voice paused for a moment before continuing.

"So even if you look down on me again, I will never give up Wende and this life-saving straw."

"Because only he knows what I am doing, and only he can understand my ambition!"

After another pause, Huiji looked at Xiaoqing who seemed to be deep in thought and said in a decisive tone.

"As the saying goes, in fighting a tiger, brothers are brothers, and father and son are soldiers in battle."

"I will not deny what I have done, nor will I give up relying on the power of my junior brother."

Hearing what Huiji said, Xiaoqing couldn't help but think back to what happened yesterday, and the unpredictable power that Pei Wende showed after returning from the underworld.

[Is that fool’s power powerful enough to be taken seriously by a ‘true Buddha in the world’? 】
