Chu Shici stared at the dangling tail for a while, and decided to pretend that nothing happened.

Brother Zhe has a small face, and if he exposes his shortcoming again, the white snake will probably throw him out directly from embarrassment.

Chu Shici tore off the wrapping paper and placed the gold coin chocolate on a stone.

He patted his stomach pretentiously, "It's been a sad day after eating wild fruits for so long. The temple should be open for dinner, I'll go grab some food."

He intended to find an excuse to go out and give the hero time to eat chocolate.

But before going out, Xun Zhe, who had been dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes.

He stretched out his slender and pale fingers, curled the long hair twice, and pulled out a strand of hair.

Xun Zhe blew on the hair, and passed it expressionlessly: "It is stained with my evil spirit, no one dares to provoke you when you go out."

Chu Shici took the hair and looked up at him in surprise, "Is one hair enough in one breath? It's amazing!"

Xun Zhe's eyes were cold, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ever since he came to this world, Chu Shici has not seen him smiling like this.

He wasn't angry either, he just stood there with a straight face, staring at him with his arms crossed.

The two stared at each other for a few minutes, Xun Zhe put away his sneer, and stopped curling up and pretending to be asleep.

Chu Shici went out contentedly.

The system didn't make a sound just now, but now it poked its head out curiously, [What were you doing just now? 】

'He always laughs at me, I don't like it.I want to let him know that I don't like it, so that he will restrain himself in the future. '

[?Isn't he your Brother Zhe? 】

'Yeah, but he wasn't like that the first few worlds.His facial expressions are not so rich, and he doesn't like to sneer at me, so he should have a relationship with the original writer. '

Chu Shici rolled up his silver hair and wrapped it around his wrist.

'I don't feel angry now, but I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him.I'm afraid that after a long time and many times, he will think that I don't care about these things, and he will habitually mock me when I am sad. I don't want to quarrel because of this kind of thing in the future. '

He raised his hand and looked at the thin hair above, his eyes became much gentler, "I am a double standard, I don't mind if he makes fun of others, I will stand in line for him if he teases or beats me more or less."When it's my turn, I just want to hear good things from him. '

[Oh, thank you for today's dog food, I'm full. 】

Chu Shici was chatting with the system while flying down the mountain.

Originally, he just planned to take a stroll around, but after having this strand of hair, he became much more courageous.

It was around 05:30 in the afternoon, which happened to be the time for dinner at Dayang Tianming Temple.

These days he can still eat a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, but Xun Zhe only eats wild fruits every day.

Remembering that brother Zhe has been hungry for more than 500 years, and his mouth is almost fading, Chu Shici is going to steal some delicious food for him to take back.

He patted the little golden lotus and signaled it to turn off the light effect first.

While the kitchen door was open, Chu Shici sneaked in.

In his impression, the monk should be a vegetarian, but last time he stole a chicken leg here.

The kitchen area is very large, and steamed buns are steaming in the pot next to it, which smells very fragrant.

After his mother passed away, no one paid Chu Shici's living expenses.He does not take his share of cooking, and no one pays him for meals.

When he was a child, he would buy steamed buns worth [-] cents at the morning market, and eat half of them in the morning and half at noon.Chew more in your mouth, the steamed buns will become very sweet and fragrant.

The meal was not ready yet, Chu Shici circled around a few times and was almost scalded by the steam.

He couldn't see what was boiling in several large pots not far away, covered with black lids.

Chu Shici stayed in Dayang Tianming Temple for a while, and also observed the pattern.

It may be that there is something particular about it, most of the monks do not eat dinner.

Although I also cook meals at night, the amount is less than that at noon in the morning.It is for some monks who have worked for a day, are exhausted, or have needs.

The amount of food today is obviously much larger than usual.

Is there a dinner party in the temple tonight, and everyone wants to eat?

Chu Shici hid in a corner, squatting and waiting for dinner.

After a while, two monks who were in charge of the food came in, carrying a big rooster in their hands.

The chicken is a live chicken, being held by the wings by the monk, and is struggling non-stop.

The monk pressed the cock on the wooden chair, took out the iron basin and put it under it.Another monk grabbed the chicken's head and stretched its neck.

Chu Shici understood that this was to kill chickens.

When he was working in a restaurant, he helped kill live chickens.

Judging from his professional chicken killing, these two monks are really bad at their skills, and they are beginners at first glance.

The monk's movements were very jerky, and he was slapped in the face several times by the chicken.After finally controlling the chicken, one of them picked up a kitchen knife and prepared to cut the chicken's neck and let it bleed.

Just then, the chicken made a sound.

It wasn't clucking or crowing, Chu Shici heard it talking clearly.

Although it was vague, sharp and thin, and mixed with rooster crowing from time to time, it was obviously a human speech.

The rooster struggled desperately, and a man's panicked voice came out of its pointed mouth, "Who are you! Where is this? What are you doing with me! Don't kill me! Help, help, I want to call the police! Help!!!"

In the next second, the chicken's neck was cut with a deep wound by the kitchen knife, and the chicken's blood spattered for a while.

The rooster struggled even harder, and the monk missed it all at once. The rooster started flying all over the room in pain and fear.

In the end, the neck was cut, the rooster didn't thump for a long time, and fell down weakly, the body began to twitch.

It crawled like a human, rubbing its chicken wings on the ground indiscriminately, trying to crawl out of the kitchen door.

Finally, one meter away from the gate, he completely died.

Chu Shici, who was hiding behind the rice bucket, was dumbfounded.

The system is also very confused, it scratches its head, 【Fuck, I'm hallucinating?The chicken was talking just now? 】

Chu Shici also heard the chicken calling for help.

He grabbed the lotus petals and looked out.

The monk with a kitchen knife leaned over to pick up the dead chicken, and his companion began to prepare boiling water to scald the chicken feathers.

I don't know if it's a problem with the light, but for a moment Chu Shici saw the water in their eyes, which seemed to be covered with tears.

The feeling fades quickly, and the monks fumble with the chicken and get on with dinner.

The system was still muttering, [Fuck, the chicken has spoken, and it is still calling for help. 】

Chu Shici touched the little lotus and fell into thought, "It's a man, it sounds like he doesn't know why he is here. '

[It's so fucking scary, do you think this chicken will become a human? 】

Chu Shici was also uncertain.

Is there really any way in this world to turn people into chickens?

Thinking of this, he suddenly froze.

Could it be that the chicken leg he stole last time was also made of this kind of chicken?

A chill hit his heart, and Chu Shici wiped his hands vigorously. Fortunately, he was scared away by the ghost before he had time to eat.

Taking advantage of their busy time, Chu Shici sneaked into the cabinet and looked down from a height.

The dinner was very rich. In addition to steamed buns, vegetarian buns, and vegetable soup, there was also a whole steamed pig's head, a freshly killed chicken, and a braised fish.

The cooking monk took out a small jar from his pocket, poured the ashes into a bowl, mixed with some water, and stirred it with chicken blood to make it sticky.

Then use chopsticks to dip in the red viscous liquid, and put a small red dot on the buns and steamed buns.

Chu Shici had seen that little jar before. A monk had dug a hole in the woods to bury things before.After going through the previous process, they will take out a jar and pour ashes into the pit.

Sometimes it is pure ash, and sometimes it is mixed with some slag.

After seeing the ghost in red last night, the old monk deliberately took out a jar and poured some ashes to appease the ghost temporarily.

Chu Shici looked left and right, no matter how he looked at the jar, it was exactly the same as the one he saw before.

He was very curious about what the ash inside was, what was its use, and why the monks of Dayang Tianming Temple used it everywhere.

After ordering the red dots, the monks pushed the carts and transported all the food out.

While they were going out, Chu Shici slipped down to steal dinner.

Originally, he wanted to steal a chicken leg, but seeing the scene just now, he felt his back was hairy, and he was afraid to eat chicken.

He tugged at the ears of the steamed pig's head, trying to grab some meat to take back.

The system poked its head in and said quietly: [What if it speaks human words before it is killed, what should you do? 】

Chu Shici's hands paused, and then he looked at this complete pig's head, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Finally, he took a vegetarian bun and a boiled egg, put them on the lotus platform and flew back.

He is only the size of a palm, and the steamed stuffed bun is just enough for him to eat for a day tomorrow.The eggs are for Xun Zhe, who hasn't eaten anything good for more than 500 years.

On the way back, Chu Shici became more and more curious as he pondered over it.

The sudden increase in appetite, the talking chicken, and the red dots with unknown meanings are all weird.

Chu Shici sat on the little lotus and turned to look at the temple.

The Datianming Temple under the night was even more silent than usual, not even the cry of a woman appeared, it was a little strangely quiet.

Chu Shici endured and endured, but decided to go and have a look.

He wrapped the buns and eggs, hid them behind a stone, and came to fetch them later.In case of a chase, these things will delay his escape.

Chu Shici first went to look at the place where the monks eat. Usually, the monks eat here, but now it is empty.

I turned around several times, but couldn't find anyone.

Why don't you just have a meal, why are you hiding it.

Chu Shici walked around the entire Dayang Tianming Temple, but he didn't see a single bald head.

Just as he was feeling strange, he suddenly remembered a place.

Behind the temple there is an inaccessible small house, which enshrines a solid gold statue, and he was imprisoned for a week before.

When Chu Shici slipped past, the wooden door was locked from the inside.

The house has no windows, and the sound insulation is also very good, so he can't spy on the situation inside the house.It can only be judged from the light shining through the crack of the door that there are indeed people inside.

He stomped his feet, knowing that he should have been more courageous just now, and directly followed the two monks who delivered the food.

It may be that the hair given by Xun Zhe has played a role, or it may be that something has changed in Dayang Tianming Temple tonight.

He had been wandering outside for so long, and the red-clothed ghost who had been pestering him for the past two days hadn't appeared.

Chu Shici squatted behind a big tree near the house for half the night, and didn't even see a ghost.

Just when he was so tired that he was about to fall asleep, the closed door opened, and monks came out one by one.

Chu Shici roughly counted, there are more than 30 monks in the temple, all crowded in this room just now.

The monks kept silent and walked out with their heads bowed.

Dozens of people lined up quietly without saying a word, and the picture looked inexplicably intrusive.

Chu Shici took a rough look into the room, and found that the furnishings in the room were the same as before, and he didn't see anything special.

Seeing that the monk was about to leave, he was busy sitting on the lotus and followed secretly.

This group of monks did not go to the meditation hall for self-study, nor did they go to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures, but just went straight to the monk's house.

When walking halfway, the old monk who had met once in the woods suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a mournful cry.

"God, why don't you open your eyes and see—"

The other monks turned to look at him with an indescribable chill in their eyes.

After the old monk shouted, a tear fell from the end of his eyes.He stared blankly at the sky, his fingers trembling unceasingly, and even the rosary beads rattled.

A second later, he lowered his head again, and the monk beside him also looked back.

They walked towards the monk's house in silence, and the team regained order, as if the episode just now had never happened.

Chu Shici asked the system blankly, "Brother, do you understand?" '

The system drank a cup of black tea, 【Tsk, I don't understand. 】

The monks fell asleep when they entered the monk's house, and Chu Shici sat outside on a lotus flower and doubted life.

He worked hard all night, and only gained new stupefaction.

Strange things popped up one after another, and Chu Shici's mind was full of question marks.

This is all and what.

He dug out the hidden vegetarian buns and eggs, and picked another wild fruit.Full of doubts, he flew back to the cave on a lotus flower.

When he first entered the cave, he vaguely saw a white shadow lying on the crack of the door and looking out behind the gate that sealed the snake demon.

When Chu Shici approached the gate, the shadow disappeared with a whoosh.

He sneaked in through the crack of the door, and Xun Zhe still maintained the shape of a snake with a human body and a tail, curled up in a circle in the corner, sleeping with his tail on his pillow.

Isn't Bai Ying who peeked at the door just now Xun Zhe?

Just as he was feeling strange, when he turned his head, he saw the tip of the white snake's tail swaying slightly.

Chu Shici: ...

Look, brother Zhe is nervous, is he the kind of person who casually reveals his faults?

Chu Shici ate some buns, crawled into Xun Zhe's hands, and hugged his pale fingers.

Looking at Xun Zhe's handsome but not angry face, he rubbed the man's fingertips affectionately: "Brother, you were waiting for me to go home at the door just now? I'm so happy, I'll steal chocolates for you tomorrow too." !"

Xun Zhe didn't respond, but his tail, which had been wagging irritably, finally stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Shici heard the notification sound in the background, [add 1 point to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 8. 】

The system sauntered over and giggled strangely: [I stole chocolate to raise you, so romantic. 】

The hands of the small wood carvings are small and short, which looks very cute.Chu Shici ignored the system and played with his own hands.

Brother Zhe was trapped in the cave and couldn't get out, and his body was too small to go out to meet people.

During this period of time, apart from eating and drinking with the monks, other times he was picking up leftovers from the pilgrims or things that fell on the ground.

The Coke fed to Lianhua was leftovers from others.The gold coins and chocolates given to Xun Zhe were lost by children playing around.

Chu Shici felt that picking up leaks was not only unstable, but also easy to be caught.

But the hardware condition is limited, he has no other way.

After staying up for most of the night, Chu Shici thought about it for a while, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

He picked a comfortable position in Xun Zhe's hands and fell into a deep sleep.

…………

I was really tired tonight, Chu Shici didn't choose to dream back to the past, but just wanted to have a good sleep.

I plan to tell Brother Zhe about the weird behavior of the monks tomorrow morning.

While drowsy, he was awakened by a commotion.

Chu Shici struggled to open his eyes.

Xun Zhe, who was originally in a circle, did not know when to prop up his upper body.

His snow-white tail twitched violently, his body straightened, and he kept making a particularly rapid hissing sound towards the door.

Chu Shi resigned and became refreshed.

He asked the system who was watching, 'Brother Zhe, who are you fighting with? '

The system shook his head, [I don't know, he suddenly exploded while sleeping. 】

Chu Shici looked around, and there was no difference between the cave and the daytime, but the little lotus and the little Buddha seemed to be aware of the abnormality, and they both began to emit a faint golden light.

Xun Zhe was obviously competing with something, with one hand supporting the little monk, and the other hand hanging by his side, the nails became longer and longer.

Tiny scales appeared on his face and fangs protruded from his mouth, these were the omens before the snake demon's attack.

Chu Shici didn't dare to interrupt, and he and the system watched blankly and nervously.

The weird confrontation lasted for five or six minutes. The golden light on the petals of the little lotus disappeared, and Xun Zhe's tense body gradually relaxed.

During this period, Chu Shici didn't even see a ghost.

When She Weiping regained his composure, he raised his head and asked Xun Zhe, "Brother, what happened just now?"

Xun Zhe found a place to re-wrap, put the little monk on his tail, and said in the same indifferent tone as before, "Dayangtian Empress just stood outside the door to watch me."

Chu Shici's scalp was numb, and he repeated in surprise, "Dayangtian Empress?"

Xun Zhe hummed lightly.

"What did she come to see you for?"

"She comes over every once in a while, and I don't know what she means."

"Is she a fairy or a fairy?"

"It was originally a demon, but because of helping the eminent monk seal the thousand-year-old snake demon and accumulating enough merit, Empress Dayang Tian was named an earth immortal. I don't know what her prototype is."

Chu Shici didn't quite understand, "Did you guys fight when she sealed you?"

Xun Zhe took a deep breath and seemed to be in a worse mood.

"At that time, I was mainly fighting with the monk and had no energy to take care of her. Originally, the monk planned to beat me back into a little snake and turn me into a beast without intelligence. The Empress of Dayangtian proposed to seal me up and ask me to stay in this mountain. Atonement."

Perhaps recalling the bad past, Xun Zhe's golden eyes dimmed.

"She dug the cave, and the monks carved scriptures. They locked me here for 500 years."

"Then why did you kill more than 800 villagers?"

Xun Zhe didn't answer, but a hint of puzzlement flashed in his eyes.

Chu Shici asked tentatively, "You don't remember?"

Xun Zhe lowered his eyes: "I remember, I just... don't know where I was wrong."

"A woman asked me for help, saying that the villagers arrested them and ruined them. I killed the villagers and rescued them. But when the monk wanted to arrest me, no one spoke up for me."

Chu Shici frowned more and more.

If what Xun Zhe said is true, then the woman's reaction will be very intriguing.

Xun Zhe used 'they', it was a den of thieves, and he saved more than one person.

No matter how much Brother Zhe points his back, he won't be able to meet a bunch of white-eyed wolves in one go.

Chu Shici asked tentatively, "They didn't respond at all?"

Xun Zhe crossed his arms, pursed his lips and said softly, "Yes, they called me a man-eating monster in front of the monk, and then threw stones at me."

He turned away, Chu Shici could only look at his ears.

"I explained to the monk that the monk believed them, but not me."

Although I haven't figured out what's going on, this incident is weird from beginning to end.

Brother Zhe was afraid that he had been tricked.

Xun Zhe was silent, and his expression was very indifferent.But Chu Shici knew that he was very sad.

He touched the snow-white scales under his body, "Brother, I don't think you did anything wrong. You have been wronged for more than 500 years."

Xun Zhe didn't say a word, but his breathing stopped slightly.

He turned his head and glanced at the little monk, his vitality value secretly increased a little.
