I don't have ulterior motives

"Here, this is where Taoist priests live." Jin Bei cocked his tail and swept across a row of houses.

The neat huts closed their doors and windows, looking at them.

Shu Lin'an came a little closer.The room is a simple blue brick hut with rough black tiles.

"How many Taoist priests are there?"

"Four or five. Liao Fangyuan is the supervisor."

Shu Lin'an nodded: "Not many."

Although there are few people, Juyun Temple has a good reputation.Because the Taoist temple is located in the middle of the mountains, it is difficult to reach, so there are not many people who come here.

"Well... I don't see them usually, so I don't know where to practice." Jin Bei shrugged, "Maybe they just have a mission to go out. The Taoist priests here are quite busy."

As if to prove the error of these words on the spot, right in front of them, the wooden door of the hut in the middle opened abruptly, and a person rushed out of it.

The man was facing Jin Bei and Shu Lin'an, his eyes were small and wide.

"Uh, ha...haha." Jin Bei spread his hands.

Liao Fangyuan stared straight at them with an expression of how the hell would I see you again.

He raised his eyebrows and pointed at the rabbit: "Who is this?"

Jin Bei blinked at Shu Lin'an, as if to say, look, he doesn't care about the lunch.

"My new friend!" Jin Bei replied happily.Liao Fangyuan glanced at him, feeling as if he had gone to the wrong kindergarten.

Jin Bei looked at him, with words in his eyes: yes, no, yes, very, yes, love.

Liao Fangyuan stroked his forehead, ignoring Jin Bei's expression.

"Ah, that's right! I haven't asked your name yet." Jin Bei suddenly turned his head.

Liao Fangyuan gave him a mentally handicapped look.

Shu Lin'an reported his name.It is only said that it is a family of rabbits living in Chongling.

"Oh." Liao Fangyuan replied.

"Lin'an..." Jin Bei nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, it's really convenient to have different species, and you can call each other without knowing their names."

"Is this something you should complain about?!" Liao Fangyuan said.

"Ah, yes," Liao Fangyuan squinted, "The sanitation in the wing—"

Jin Bei didn't remind him anything this time, he turned into a wolf, Shu Linan saw this posture and didn't wait for the opponent to move, and consciously turned into a rabbit, avoiding the fate of being thrown sideways.

Jin Bei picked up the little rabbit, and it flew away from Liao Fangyuan's sight.

Liao Fangyuan: "..."

He stood there, thinking to himself, after all these years, he didn't know that this wolf turned out to be a rabbit master?

The skin on the back of the rabbit's neck is soft and furry.Jin Bei didn't dare to bite hard, but he was afraid that the rabbit would fall, so he put the rabbit down when he reached the apse.

Shu Linan touched his neck and felt a ring of shallow teeth marks.

The wolf lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake: "Did the bite hurt you?" Although he felt a little distressed, he looked at the pink tooth marks on the back of his fair neck, and felt a sense of inexplicable satisfaction in his heart.

It's like marking each other.

"No." Shu Linan bent his eyes and asked again, "Um...does he want us to help?"

"Don't worry about him." Jin Bei said bluntly.

"..."

"It's probably cleaning the room. He has a friend coming today," Jin Bei continued, "The surname is Ye."

"Ye?" Shu Linan narrowed her eyes.This is a big family in the city under Chongling Mountain.Different from the Juyun Temple, the Ye family's Taoist temple is full of incense and is open to the public.

"Yeah. That Taoist priest is not bad...he has a much better personality than Liao Fangyuan." Jin Bei curled his lips.

Is it because that Taoist priest will not always be searched by you in the kitchen?

"Let's go, I'll show you the Taoist temple!"

Shu Lin'an followed Jin Bei.

"This is the apse, nothing interesting."

"This is the front hall, which is smaller than the back hall."

"This is an open-air training ground. Few people come here, and Rhubarb regards it as a place for walking."

"This is a place to practice rituals, but the Taoist temple is so remote, it is still useless."

"This is a wing room. Guests will stay here when they come. But usually there are no guests."

Walking around, it sounds like a Taoist temple where there are no people.

Shu Linan looked towards the wing room: "Does the guest who came today live here?"

"Today..." Jin Bei showed a hesitant expression, "No, maybe I will live with Liao Fangyuan."

"Huh?" Shu Linan turned around.

Jin Bei nodded.

"Oh..." Shu Linan stopped asking and followed the wolf.

"This is the main hall! It's also very dark inside during the day." Jin Bei lowered his voice and led Shu Lin'an inside.

"There are so many statues..." Shu Linan looked around.Eight vermilion wooden pillars separated the space, and in front, left and right were immortals with long beards and high crowns, staring at them with different expressions.

"Well. According to legend, there was a fierce battle here. After seven or eight 56 ​​days of day and night, seven Taoist priests finally sealed a powerful evil spirit. Seven Taoist priests also died in that battle. , their blood stained the pillars of the hall red, so the originally wooden pillars turned vermilion..."

Obviously...it's the painted color!

And what happened to the extra pillar!

And that extra week!

"However, the power of the evil spirit is too powerful, and it has not been completely sealed. Therefore, it is said that every night of Zhongyuan, the evil spirit will break the seal and reappear, and the extra scarlet pillar will also If the color fades to log color, it means that the evil spirit has sucked the blood from it."

It was actually explained... The extra pillars were actually explained!

What kind of legends are these, there is not even a single person in this place to scare anyone with these legends... Shu Lin'an thought about it, but couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.

He took half a step forward and grabbed the hem of the wolf's clothes.

Jin Bei turned his head and saw that the rabbit's eyes moved away unnaturally. He rubbed the rabbit's ears ten thousand times in his heart and said with a smile, "Let's go out."

Shu Linan nodded quickly.

It was evening when they went out.The wolf and the rabbit walked towards the mountain gate with the afterglow of the setting sun.

The rabbit's snow-white ears and tail were dyed a fluffy golden under the light.

Jin Bei is not a rabbit lover, but this rabbit is extremely cute.Why do rabbits have slightly upturned corners of their eyes?But the complexion is very white, just like a little white rabbit, and the ears are... super cute too!

Shu Lin'an felt the fiery gaze on his ears, and he dared not move.

How... can he take the other party's interest away from his own ear...

If he looks like a fox, he can use his white, soft and fluffy tail to sweep the other party's hands or even his neck, but the rabbit's short tail has no feeling at all!

Foxes also have cute ears Q^Q!It's just not that long!But the tail is long enough!Enough around the waist!

Shu Lin'an thought about it, and quietly glanced at Jin Bei's waist.

If... if one day he finds out that he is not a rabbit at all...

Shu Lin'an didn't want to think about it anymore.

Feeling a little down suddenly.

After a moment of silence, he put his hand on the wolf's arm and looked up at him.

Jin Bei was taken aback for a moment.The rabbit's eyes are light-colored, like clear glass.It should be like the glazed tiles of the palace. He hasn't seen it yet, but he thinks it should not be as good-looking as these eyes.

"Thank you for being with me today." The rabbit's voice was soft, and he smiled at him.

"No, you're welcome." Jin Bei's eyes moved to the rabbit's lips.When not smiling, the mouth is a little bit small, and when it smiles, it bends into a crescent moon.

It seems to have diverted his attention... Shu Lin'an thought.

He didn't believe it, and he couldn't tease a wolf without relying on rabbit ears.

A shadow at the mountain gate hangs long on the road ahead, Jin Bei stopped and said hesitantly, "I'm going back to practice tonight."

"Yeah." Shu Lin'an nodded, and let go of his hand, thinking that I actually want it too.

Jin Bei watched the little white paws fall down, feeling a little bit reluctant.

"Goodbye," said Rabbit.

"In the future—" Jin Bei blurted out, then paused and scratched his forehead, "Can I still play with you in the future?"

"Of course." The rabbit smiled again, and the smile was like a golden etching in the sunset.

Just stop feeding me greens.Shu Lin'an thought.

Jin Bei nodded happily, thought for a while, and said, "I'll pick okra for you!"

"..."

Just leave it alone, please!

"There are kale, green vegetables, and sweet potato leaves in the vegetable garden. You can choose whichever you like..."

I don't like either, that's true.

"Is the vegetable garden okay..." Shu Lin'an said with a forced smile.

Jin Bei shook his head: "It doesn't matter!"

I need it...

In her heart, Shu Lin'an knelt down for the other party and the Taoist vegetable garden.
