monk on the mountain tiger on the mountain

Tonjuro originally planned to take Sheji to see the lamb, tease the little rabbit, and feed the little fish. The perfect plan fell apart when Sheji heard the eerie song and inexplicable words of the little girl named Xiaoqi. up.

The two returned to the farmer's house that took them in and said goodbye to them.

The peasant woman stuffed them with some steamed buns so that they could take them with them and eat them on the road.The farmer insisted on letting Tonjuro and the others bring the pheasant he had just plucked. Smelling the smell of the bare pheasant, Torjuro swallowed silently, but he still shied away saying that it was inconvenient to take it back, and took the pheasant away. Leave it to the farm family.

Several children who had just returned from grazing learned that the older brothers could not stay with them for dinner or play with them, so they reluctantly surrounded Tojuro and Sheji, begging for a pat on the head and a hug.The more daring ones, rolling around there, refused to let Tonjuro and Sheji go without saying anything.Under the instigation of that child, the other children also started making noises. Two little girls even cried, with tears and snot all over their sleeves.In the end, Tojuro picked up each child one by one and held them high, finally coaxing the group of little ancestors, and they finally calmed down.

The peasant woman then instructed them to "be careful on the road" and "come again when you are free", and then sent them to the gate and watched them leave.Several children also waved their little hands at the door, and some children jumped three feet high, shouting loudly while jumping: "Big brother, little brother, remember to come and play with us again! We will miss you! You will miss us too!"

Tonjuro walked forward, turned around, waved at them, and shouted: "I will miss you! You have to be good, you know?"

"Got it!" The group of children replied in a mixed manner.

"Go back! Don't give it away!" Tonjuro waved his hand and turned back.

Sheji stopped, clasped his hands and bowed to them, then turned around and followed Tojuro's pace.

They made do with some steamed buns on the way, and hurried back to Qingman County, Pudu Mountain, and Wochan Temple.

"Master! We are back!"

Sheji searched the entire temple but found no trace of Deqing.

"Juro! Have you found my master yet?"

Sheji and Tonjuro searched separately, and when they met in the main hall, Sheji grabbed Tojuro's clothes with both hands and asked anxiously.

Tojuro shook his head.

"Could something happen to him?" Sheji was so anxious that he was about to cry, and when he thought of what the little girl named Xiaoqi meant, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Maybe he went down the mountain, don't worry. Let's go down the mountain and have a look." Torajuro stroked Sheji's back and said calmly.

"You fake monk! You come here to eat and drink every day! Pay me quickly!"

Sheji and Tonjuro came to a bustling commercial street at the foot of the mountain, and when they walked near a restaurant, they were attracted by the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground, and then heard a man roaring angrily, attracting many passers-by Onlookers.

——The fake monk...doesn't it mean, Master?

Sheji ran towards the crowd, pushing away the passers-by who watched the excitement, and sure enough, it was Master.

Deqing was lying on the ground, trying to support his upper body, dragging his lower body, and moved to the side of a pillar to lean against.

"It's all said, hiccup, I, next time, will pay it back! Credit first, first! Hiccup, don't you worry about me! Hiccup, don't tell my apprentice, hehe, or he will, yes, be angry dead!"

Deqing was paralyzed at the door of the restaurant like a puddle of paste, his face was flushed, he seemed to have taken too much alcohol, he couldn't speak well, he would laugh silly from time to time, his whole body smelled of alcohol, he looked like A puddle of mud that everyone despises.

"Master, let's go back."

Sheji approached Deqing, put one of Deqing's arms on his shoulder, and supported him to stand up.

"Ah, ah, you are his apprentice, right? Then you should pay for his wine! I think he is a monk, and he will never rely on my money to sell wine to him. I didn't expect someone to tell me about your temple. It’s been down for a long time, I dare not give you credit! If you don’t give me money, I will report to the official..."

The shopkeeper laid his body in front of Sheji and blocked their way.He was trying to collect debts aggressively, but suddenly he felt a cold light from behind his neck and spine. He stammered and said that he wanted to "report to the police", and turned his head to look behind him with his neck stiff.

I saw a young man staring straight at him, his eyes were like a beast quietly lurking in the grass, ready to bite the neck of the prey with one blow, until they died.

Under the pressure of the young man behind him, the shopkeeper stopped Sheji and the others with righteousness, but he also became timid, shrunk himself down a circle, and did not dare to talk to Sheji and the others straight up.

"Since you know he is a monk, why do you still want to sell him wine?" The young man behind raised his eyebrows and asked, the threat in his tone was self-evident.

"Well, there's no reason why customers don't do business when they come to the door... You see, I'm running a small business, so I'd like to trouble you to settle the bill, haha." It was as if his neck was broken by the boy in front of him, but he didn't get the money back and felt sorry for himself, so he could only bite the bullet and speak softly.

"Oh, yes, yes, my apprentice will pay for me! Xiaoer! Another pot of wine!" Deqing waved to the store.

Sheji gave Deqing a hard look, but Deqing was so drunk now that he couldn't open his eyes at all, so even if he stared at him, it would not help, and he said silently, "He is drunk now, don't worry about it, wait for him Wake up and then settle the accounts," Ren Ren took out his purse, ready to pay Deqing the bill.

Sheji was about to settle the bill for Deqing when he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.

"Where did you get the money?" Tonjuro asked with a slight frown.

"I'll explain to you when I get back." Sheji turned his eyes away, not looking at Toujuro.

Tonjuro thought about it again, maybe his mother secretly stuffed it for him, so he didn't care too much.

After the bustle, the shopkeeper collected the money and returned to the shop in despair. The crowd of onlookers also dispersed like birds and beasts under Tojuro's "excessive power".

"Hey? Which kind of god helped the poor monk settle the bill? Yo! Isn't this little Master Sheji! When are you coming back? Don't you, hiccup, miss Master? Hehehe, Master wants to too is you!"

As he spoke, Deqing pursed his lips, trying to kiss Sheji's cheek, but Sheji was holding Deqing's arm, and it was inconvenient to let go, so Sheji could only hide aside in disgust.Suddenly, the weight on the shoulders lightened, and Deqing was lifted off.

"Master, if you are like this, Sheji will be very troubled." Tonjuro said with a fake smile.

Sheji turned his head and saw Tonjuro holding Deqing's collar in one hand, making him force himself to stand.

Sheji glanced at Deqing, sighed, and said to Tora Juro, "Juro, I'm sorry, let's take him back."

Tonjuro embraced Sheji with his free other hand, put his hand on the back of Sheji's head, and brought it to himself, a kiss fell on Sheji's forehead, and said softly, "Why are you being polite to me!"

Sheji smiled slightly, and looked up at Tonjuro, but in Tojuro's eyes, there was a bit of bitterness in Sheji's smile, maybe even Sheji himself didn't know it.

"Hey! You little tiger cub! You actually belittled my apprentice in public! I will fight with you! Fight..."

Deqing was picked up by the back of the collar, baring his teeth and claws to hit Toujuro, but Tojuro stretched out his arms impatiently, and lifted Deqing far away.Deqing didn't toss about for a while, he also took a break from cooking, and let Tonjuro carry him without moving.

"I'll carry him back." Yin Juro glanced at Deqing and said to Sheji.

Sheji didn't object either, and it would seem a bit pretentious and pretentious to say "this can't be done" at this time.

The three of them returned to the Lying Chan Temple, and Sheji took Deqing back to the bedroom and put him to sleep.Deqing didn't fight or fight, or in other words, just fell asleep all the time.

Sheji wiped Deqing's body, changed into clean clothes, and cooked porridge in case Deqing woke up hungry in the middle of the night.

However, the next morning, when Sheji went to see Deqing again, he found that Porridge had no signs of being passive at all, and Deqing had no signs of waking up, so Sheji could only pat Deqing and wake him up.

As a result, Deqing slept very soundly, it was already time, and he was still sound asleep.

But it was strange to say that if he was in a deep sleep, and Sheji patted him so vigorously, even if he didn't wake up, he would still have some reaction, but Deqing didn't, except for the sound of even breathing, Deqing didn't move at all.

Sheji only said that he drank too much wine and was still in a coma.Silently decided that if the master went to drink again, he would not cook for him, nor would he clean up his mess.

But at night, when it was time for dinner, Deqing hadn't woken up yet.Sheji felt that Deqing's lack of food all day would be bad for his health, so he went to Deqing's room and called Deqing to get up.Although I was always hungry in the past, after all, being hungry is not such a pleasant thing. Now that there is food, of course it would be better to eat something.

"Master, Master, don't sleep! Get up soon!"

Sheji shook Deqing's shoulder vigorously, but got no response.

"He still can't get up?"

Tonjuro walked into Deqing's house.

"Well. In the past, I just scratched his itch and he would jump up, but now I shake him so hard, but he still can't get up." Sheji said in a low mood.

"That's weird, he doesn't seem to be simply lethargic!" Tonjuro said, crossing his chest.

"Juro, do you know what?" Sheji grabbed the hem of Torajuro's clothes and asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, if you don't wake up tomorrow, maybe... you are haunted by a nightmare." Toujuro frowned slightly.

"Nightmare?" Sheji looked back at Deqing as if he had lost his soul.

"So don't be in a hurry, you can't be sure yet, maybe he is really just tired and slept a little longer." Torajuro put one arm around Sheji's waist and took him outside the house, "Let's eat first, we're done eating Let's see how he is."

After dinner, Deqing still didn't wake up, Sheji sat on the side of the bed and kept watch, waiting for Deqing to wake up by himself.

However, I didn't expect Deqing to wake up the next day.

The uneasiness in Sheji's heart deepened again, and he had already decided that the master was haunted by the nightmare.

In the next few days, Sheji did not try to wake Deqing up again, but just helped him wipe his body, turn over regularly, and massage his arms and legs to prevent the humidity from becoming too heavy and numb hands and feet.

Although Tonjuro didn't have much interest in Deqing's life and death, but seeing his own Sheji busy taking care of Deqing, in order to accompany him every day, he didn't sleep much, except that he could think of cooking for Tonjuro when the time came Other than that, no matter what you do, you always look preoccupied and feel distressed.Even during the meal, Sheji just took a few mouthfuls in a hurry, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked Tonjuro to wash it, and hurriedly ran to Deqing's room.

In the past few days, Sheji has mainly focused on Deqing, and has never said anything to Tonjuro, let alone being gentle with Tonjuro. Taste, I feel sorry for Sheji, I wish I could pick up Deqing and yell at him, to have a good seizure.

——Do you know that Sheji has lost weight these days because of your poor food and sleep quality!Why are you suffering in your heart, you have to stay in bed and make him feel uncomfortable!If you wake up, see how I deal with you!

However, Tonjuro could only think about it in his heart, he didn't want to embarrass Sheji.

Deqing was in a coma for several days, but he still didn't wake up. Sheji was overwhelmed and lost his mind.Tonjuro was worried that his body would not be able to support him day and night, so he persuaded him: "Your master is fine, maybe he is just obsessed with the past and does not want to wake up. Would you like to see his memory?"

"What do you think?" Sheji finally came back to his senses, and cast his eyes on Tonjuro.

"He is in a coma now, and his thoughts are relatively pure. As long as you don't have any distracting thoughts in your mind, and when you touch his forehead, you will be able to perceive it after I help cast the spell. It's just that when you read his memory, you Your body needs to bear some burden, that's why I haven't let you try."

"It's okay."

Sheji leaned down, put his forehead against Deqing's forehead, silently called "Master" in his heart, and then entered the state of selflessness.

Tojuro put his hand on the back of Sheji's head, a wave of heat gushed out from the inner alchemy and poured into Sheji's head.In an instant, a series of scenes appeared in front of Sheji's eyes, and he heard noisy voices in his ears, which criss-crossed in his mind like a revolving lantern.

"Master..."
