There is a saying that goes, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you."
Although the two of them were not staring into the abyss, as they were both monks, if they were staring at each other like this, no matter how late the other party was in reacting, they would have discovered it.
Wearing a yellow Taoist robe, with a yellow Taoist scarf on his head, matching the Taoist robe on his body. He looks still young in his thirties.
When he saw Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyan, the strange look in his eyes flashed away, and he quickly smiled and said hello: "Hahaha, fellow Taoist friends have come from afar, why don't you come in and chat?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the door and gave Li Wanyan a Taoist ceremony, without even looking at Ren Xiaofan during the whole process.
It's no wonder that since he was promoted to the middle stage of Taoism, the aura on Ren Xiaofan's body disappeared again, and he became like an ordinary person again. And Taoist rituals can only be used by monks, so it is not too much for him to ignore Ren Xiaofan.
"Oh, hello."
Li Wanyan came to her senses and quickly returned the gift.
She was a little disappointed. The good mood she originally had because Ren Xiaofan gave her the points disappeared in an instant.
It seems that I still took a step forward and was jumped in first.
"I'm really sorry. I came here a step earlier. I hope my fellow Taoist won't be surprised." The middle-aged monk was extremely polite. Seeing Li Wanyan's depressed look, he smiled and held her hand in front of her.
First come, first served, this is the rule. Although Li Wanyan is very depressed, there is nothing she can do about it.
Therefore, he forced a smile and said: "No wonder, I am late. In this case, I will not disturb fellow Taoists."
She actually could have come earlier, but something happened at home and she was delayed. So now she can only come back disappointed.
"Haha, then I won't let my fellow Taoist go in to talk. Please go slowly."
The middle-aged monk had no intention of staying. When he saw Li Wanyan saying that he was leaving, he immediately made a gesture of invitation to her, but his hand was facing outward.
Li Wanyan bit her lower lip, feeling a sense of grievance welling up in her heart. She had already said she was going to leave, but the other party acted like the owner of this place and made this gesture to "please" her to leave. Why don't you be so harsh...
.
With this thought in her mind, she looked at Ren Xiaofan aside, "Brother Xiaofan, we..."
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she felt that she had come with Ren Xiaofan, and if she wanted to leave, she would go together. This way she could be a companion on the road, after all, it was getting dark soon.
However, Ren Xiaofan had no intention of leaving. Instead, he grinned at the middle-aged monk and said, "Haha, look at what fellow Taoist said, it's already so dark. Where can we go? Let's do this, everyone.
We are all monks, how about you tell the host and let us stay here for one night before leaving?"
Li Wanyan is simple and easy to fool, but Ren Xiaofan will not be fooled easily.
He is now in the middle stage, where the yin and yang eyes are automatically opened. Therefore, all the expression changes on the middle-aged monk's face are under his observation.
Besides, Li Wanyan had already shown no intention of competing for points, but the monk actually chased Li Wanyan away. This move also aroused Ren Xiaofan's suspicion.
A bronze mission has 5 points, and it takes 5,000 points to achieve the points certification. In comparison, with so many points, is it worth offending his colleagues?
You know, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies... Especially monks, there is no need to do this for 5 points.
Unless he wants to do something here, he is afraid of being discovered by others.
"Haha, who are you? You call me fellow Taoist, do you deserve it?"
The middle-aged monk was polite to Li Wanyan, but not so friendly to Ren Xiaofan.
Although Ren Xiaofan and Li Wanyan were together, seeing that Ren Xiaofan was so young and did not yet exude the aura of a monk, he felt that Ren Xiaofan was just a newcomer who came to practice with Li Wanyan, not even a monk.
Therefore, he didn't give him a good look and looked at him with contempt.
"hehe..."
Ren Xiaofan scratched his head, but for a moment he did not expect that the middle-aged monk's expression had changed so drastically.
It seems that these days, I don’t have the ability, and I don’t even have the qualifications to communicate well with others...
It was this shy expression on Ren Xiaofan's face that made the middle-aged monk even more convinced of his suspicion.
He sneered again and said to Ren Xiaofan: "Why, you're not even a monk, but you're here to join in the fun? It's better to leave while it's not completely dark now. Don't wait until it's too late. If you encounter any evil spirits, there's no one around.
I can protect you!"
But his words angered Li Wanyan.
"Why do you talk like this! Brother Xiaofan, why don't you deserve to be called your Taoist friend! Also, even if you encounter some evil spirit, it's none of your business! Just mind yourself!"
"Brother Xiaofan, let's go!" She said without giving any reaction to Ren Xiaofan, she took his arm and turned around to leave.
This was the second time she had attacked Ren Xiaofan, but this time, Ren Xiaofan did not show any displeasure.
Instead, I suddenly felt that this girl was quite cute.
She seems to be quiet, gentle and weak, but when she gets angry, she is really stubborn. If I don't use my strength, I really can't break away from her.
This aspect is quite similar to Xue Wanqing's, who likes to pull her to "fly" at every turn, and is often so scared that she doesn't even dare to open her eyes when she is not paying attention.
And thinking of Xue Wanqing, Ren Xiaofan lost even more desire to break free, and felt empty in his heart...
She was dragged along by sister Wanyan like this, and she didn't let go until she was about to leave the village.
Ren Xiaofan thought that the first thing she would do when she let go of him was to apologize again. After all, she had been like this before. But who knew that when she turned around, her expression shocked him.
Because at this time, her big eyes were full of tears, flashing with endless grievances and a trace of nervousness.
"You...what's wrong with you?"
Ren Xiaofan was confused. Could it be that he was wronged like this just because of this matter? Then his mental ability to bear it was too low.
No, it’s not that it’s bad, it’s not at all!!!
"Brother Xiaofan, do you think that I am a very casual woman who pulls little boys' arms at every turn?"
Li Wanyan asked Ren Xiaofan while wiping her tears. She looked like a little daughter-in-law who had been abandoned and felt wronged to the point of crying...
Ren Xiaofan's expression suddenly became a little weird, but before he could think about it, he heard Li Wanyan continue to choke and say: "Actually, I'm not like this. I just think that Brother Xiaofan's smile is warm and sunny. Looking at it,
Very kind-faced and eager to get close to others..."
Ren Xiaofan's expression became even weirder, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Ah, no, don't get me wrong. I'm not confessing to you. We just met not long ago. It's impossible for me... I just think you're a very nice person and want to be friends with you. Yes, that's it.
, please don’t get me wrong!!!”
Feeling that the more she spoke, the more outrageous she said, and she noticed that something was wrong with Ren Xiaofan's expression. Li Wanyan was so anxious that she quickly explained, and tried to pull Ren Xiaofan's arm with her hand, but he dodged it.
Ren Xiaofan was willing to bet that Li Wanyan definitely grew up with the golden key in her mouth. He even wondered if this was the first time for this girl to come out on her own after growing up. This must be too scary.
"Uh... Well, don't worry. I know what you mean. I didn't misunderstand. Don't cry first. If you don't cry, I will be friends with you."
However, come to think of it, it is not a problem to have her shedding tears here all the time. It can easily be misunderstood. After all, at this time, there are already people who have finished their meal and come out for a walk.
Therefore, Ren Xiaofan was like coaxing a child, even coaxing and threatening, and finally coaxed this girl.
"Then...are we going back now?" The first thing Li Wanyan did after she stopped crying was to ask him.
Ren Xiaofan glanced at his phone. It was not too late, it was just after six o'clock in the evening. Even if it took three hours to walk to the place where the car was parked, it would only be after nine o'clock.
So if they want to go back, both of them can go back no matter what.
However, after riding for more than ten hours and bumping along the way, I finally arrived at Xiaoyitun. Even if I left, I had to wait for the deceased to be buried before leaving, otherwise I would not be sorry for the 430 yuan I spent!!!
Therefore, he looked at Li Wanyan and shook his head, saying: "I won't go back now. I will wait until the deceased is buried before going back. But if you want to go back, I can send you there."
Although Ren Xiaofan is a straight man, he also knows that it is not good for a girl to walk alone at night.
As for her being a monk, Ren Xiaofan instinctively ignored her identity in his heart. It is estimated that even if he met a new soul on the road, she would be frightened and cry.
"Oh...that's it." Li Wanyan nodded after hearing the words, thought for a moment, but directly ignored Ren Xiaofan's words about sending her back, and directly asked: "If you don't leave, we will go there tonight.
Where are you staying?”
Ren Xiaofan looked her up and down and realized, judging from her posture, this girl was relying on him.
However, what she asked was indeed a question. If it were her, she could deal with it for one night, on a tree, under a tree, or even under the eaves of someone else's house. After all, she was already in the middle stage of Taoism, so she didn't need to sleep.
Just meditate.
But now, with the addition of Li Wanyan, the result is different. Can she meditate? Can she know Qinggong like Xue Wanqing? She can't do either.
So, now I have to see if I can stay at a villager's house for one night.
"Haha, young man, if you don't mind, come and live at the old woman's house. Ever since you coaxed your wife, the old woman has been looking at you two. It's not easy for Taoist lovers like you to be together, hehe...
"
Ren Xiaofan feels that his premonitions have been particularly accurate recently, and he always gets what he thinks.
No, just as I was thinking about staying at someone's house for the night, an old woman's voice came from behind.
