Li Wei finally remembered why the name An Zhen sounded familiar to him. He wouldn't be too impressed by the name An Zhen alone, but when combined with Qing Ji, it was like thunder.
An Zhen is the reckless hero Xu Xian in the Fusang folk tale.
There are three major legends about Mount Hiei, one is that Tomoe Gozen and Shizu Gozen became monks, the other is that Crane repays his kindness, and the third is that Seihime set herself on fire.
Moreover, Kiyohime's self-immolation turned the entire Mount Hiei into charcoal, and even caused the fire in Mount Hiei to spread for several months before dissipating.
The monk Anzhen in front of me happens to be the male protagonist in the story of Qing Ji's self-immolation. Of course, he is not a positive material, but the image of a scumbag and a heartless man has been passed down to later generations.
No, although they only walked together for a day, Levi confirmed that this ascetic-like guy was not someone who played with feelings, or even the kind of guy who could like women.
That sentence "Everyone in the world is suffering, and I am willing to make myself suffer even more to share it for them."
Although this approach is stupid, it is spiritually great. Li Wei thinks that the guy who can have such an awakening should be an existence with the same obsession as Wutian Buddha. In any case, it is different from the heartless man in the stories of later generations. too big.
"Sorry, I remember I left something outside..." Levi stood up, feeling that he was a bit redundant here, and at the same time began to observe the room.
He walked out of the room directly, and the substitute quickly appeared and began to search around.
I have encountered a similar situation before. During the Dajiangshan period, Li Wei encountered a woman living alone in a farmer's household. However, that woman was actually a man-eating nymph, and it was estimated that everyone in the farmer's household had been eaten by her.
Although Qing Ji is a legendary demon who favors humans, Levi decided to search nearby farmers.
And when Li Wei left and only Monk Anzhen and Qingji were left in the room, she became more and more bold and moved slowly to Monk Anzhen, her chest seemed to be pressed against his body.
"Lord Anzhen... ugh... I am twenty-eight years old and have no engagement yet..."
For some reason, when Qing Ji saw this resolute-faced monk for the first time, she felt as if her heart was about to beat out of her chest, and even the cooling blood in her body began to feel warm.
Li Wei once looked at Monk An Zhen, and he always felt that this guy looked exactly like the actor who played the young Fahai in his previous life. He had a resolute face, strong muscles, and the otherworldly temperament that truly belonged to an ascetic monk.
At this moment, Qingji, who had been walking alone for a hundred years, really felt an indescribable feeling, and even began to fantasize about the name of her grandson.
"Donor, you have gone too far. The young monk and others are just staying for one night without any thoughts." Monk An Zhen just moved a step to the side, avoiding Qing Ji's contact.
It seemed that he felt that he had gone too far and was afraid of scaring An Zhen, so he coughed quickly and pretended to be a sickly girl to clean the area that Levi had just wet.
"I'm sorry, Master An Zhen, I'm a little rude. Do you need to go to Shendu tomorrow?" She took out a folding fan from somewhere, slowly placed it to cover half of her face, and knelt down opposite An Zhen. .
"Exactly."
"But recently, due to the Genpei War, the Taira family has sealed off all the gates of Shendu. In order to prevent the intruders, it is difficult to enter Shendu. Even if you wait until tomorrow, it is basically impossible to enter Shendu." Qingji said softly, and then
After brewing another cup of tea, she handed it to An Zhen and said, "Master An Zhen, is only black tea okay?"
"The young monk is not picky." An Zhen took the warm black tea and took a sip. She asked seriously, "Excuse me, donor, how can the two young monks enter the capital of the gods?"
"We pretend to be husband and wife, that way we can sneak in smoothly." Qingji's snake legs were sitting on her knees, but secretly her tail was almost raised to the sky, which exposed her plan.
"The donor's plan is really inappropriate. The young monk thinks that with my monk's documents, he should be able to try to enter the capital of the gods." An Zhen drank the black tea and frowned.
He just looked at everyone indifferently, there was no difference between men and women, but he also understood what the other person meant. If it hadn't been almost midnight, he would definitely have turned around and left to stay in other people's homes.
"Believe me, Mr. Anzhen, the Taira family is very strict about checking people from other places. You can enter this concubine's ancestral home, but it is really difficult for you to escape the Taira family's investigation." Qing Ji filled the black tea again, with a smile on her face.
Smiling.
"No need, donor, just prepare a woodshed for the young monk and donor Li Wei. We will leave before dawn." An Zhen quickly refused and speculated, but felt thirsty and drank the black tea again.
Qing Ji was not angry, filled the tea, and still only used words to persuade her to stay. However, An Zhen seemed to be a stone, unable to drink anything, but she felt more and more thirsty, and kept drinking tea.
"Master Anzhen, is this name your real name or your dharma title?"
"My real name is that I originally became a monk at Sensoji Temple. My original Buddhist name was 'Wan Hai', but I later abandoned this Buddhist name." Monk Anzhen continued, drinking cup after cup of tea.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qingji stood up quickly.
"Then let me prepare a house for Master An Zhen." Qing Ji bowed slightly, and then led Monk An Zhen to the door of a house.
For some reason, An Zhen only felt dizzy. He just felt that he was tired from running around all day and was ready to rest as soon as possible.
However, Qing Ji did not take him to the woodshed, but to her own house. At this moment, her feet began to slowly turn into snake tails, and they even wrapped around Monk An Zhen.
"Don't even think about escaping from my hands, Master An Zhen..."
The bright moon hung in the sky. Li Wei observed all the surrounding houses and found not many problems.
He glanced briefly at the candle-lit house in the distance. Li Wei felt that this was a disaster that An Zhen could not avoid. He would not get involved in the affairs of the young couple. After all, whether in his previous life or in the legend of Kyoto,
Qing Ji fell in love with An Zhen at first sight and then fell in love.
This is the disaster that Monk An Zhen must endure in this life.
He also carefully looked at the nearby farms. The houses were all clean and tidy. It could be seen that these people evacuated here in an orderly manner. Li Wei looked at the rice vat. There was not a grain of rice in it, only shriveled rice.
of mouse residue.
Obviously, the people in the village fled in an orderly manner, and they were not killed by demons. After all, demons would not deliberately take away human valuables and rice.
From that point of view, Qing Ji is just a dove occupying a magpie's nest at most. She probably wants to pretend to be a widow or a woman living alone and lure passers-by towards her.
However, Li Wei searched around the area again and could not see any traces of travelers' movements, nor was there any place to bury corpses. The weeds in the fields were half as tall as a person, and there was not even loose soil.
Could it be that today is just Qing Ji’s first vote?
Li Wei searched for a long time, but couldn't find any trace of Qingji's cannibalism, so he temporarily treated her as a non-cannibalistic monster.
After waiting for a long time, Li Wei saw that there was no movement in Qing Ji's room. Li Wei decided to find a room to take a rest and leave alone tomorrow. Let the little monk return to secular life and start a family here.
The legendary story of Qing Ji's self-immolation is indeed a bit sad, but it was purely because An Zhen refused to die and used words to deceive Qing Ji, which led to the tragedy.
Li Wei felt that since he had met, he might as well let the two of them get married. After all, there were already many legends about human-male romances, including Abe Seimei's parents, Sakata Kintoki's parents, and Bubu Jiwu and Guhuotiao.
Let the monk who came here alone get married here. The rest of the journey would require Li Wei to cross the entire Weiyuan, and taking Monk An Zhen with him might still be a drag.
Speaking of which, he was not familiar with this monk, and An Zhen followed him on his own, without Li Wei's permission at all, as if he felt that this was his mission.
The moonlight was deep, and Li Wei saw that the candles in Qingji's house had been extinguished, so he randomly found an almost moldy thatched house and prepared to take a nap.
"Boom!" A sudden sound like an explosion sounded.
This woke up Levi who had just fallen asleep.
"No, you are not a human! What on earth have you done to me!" Monk An Zhen broke away from Qing Ji's restraints with a look of horror, and then looked at Qing Ji with a human face and a snake body.
At this time, Qing Ji turned into a snake from the chest down, and just now it was tightly wrapped around the sleeping An Zhen.
But she didn't expect that when An Zhen was almost completely asleep, the light of spiritual power flashed, and his spiritual power almost doubled in an instant. This allowed him to get rid of the black tea that could make people sleep and wake up instantly.
But the moment he woke up, he saw the snake's body tightly wrapped around him. The cold snake scales and mucus almost slicked his whole body, and he suddenly felt unspeakable regret and fear.
Immediately, he punched the snake hard.
"Lord Anzhen...I..."
"Demon, I should have known that you are not human! Don't try to eat the little monk!" Monk An Zhen was shocked and angry. What was surprising was that he did not discover the identity of the woman in front of him, and he drank an unknown amount.
The medicinal black tea almost died in the monster's mouth.
What makes him angry is that the demon opposite him really made him feel extremely uncomfortable. The feeling just now seemed like he wanted to use his snake body to completely squeeze out the last bit of air in his lungs and completely wrap himself on the bed.
It felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Master Anzhen, I didn't want to eat you, I just..." Qing Ji became more and more anxious after realizing that something seemed to be wrong. She didn't even notice that her hands and chest had begun to turn into snakes.
But the more this happened, the more frightened Monk An Zhen became and the less he would listen to what she said.
The more An Zhen showed an expression of fear and disgust, the more anxious Qing Ji became and her words became more and more awkward.
Until An Zhen wanted to make an escape move.
"I will not let you leave me. We will be together forever, Master Anzhen!" Qingji almost turned into a basilisk with a human face. She rushed towards Anzhen in an instant and stopped her.
His way to go.
She has felt An Zhen's disgust and fear, but there is no way. It is obvious that An Zhen will always stay by her side, and then the relationship will be slowly cultivated. As long as she can keep An Zhen by her side, Qing Ji will definitely do it.
Something that can make him change his mind.
But from the perspective of Monk An Zhen, it was a basilisk that was risking its life to catch him. The basilisk looked at him with salivating eyes, as if it wanted to eat him alive.
He suddenly rose up to resist, and swung his spiritual power on the bamboo stick in his hand, hitting the snake demon hard.
Qing Ji was in pain, but she was not seriously injured. Instead, she pestered him even harder, seemingly trying to control Monk An Zhen tightly.
When Li Wei came here and saw the current scene, he felt that he didn't know whether to help Qing Ji fight An Zhen or help An Zhen fight Qing Ji. After all, he felt that it was not easy for him to participate in the affairs of the two of them.
He just looked at the moon and said: "The moon is very round today, and you guys are having a lot of fun. I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years. Then I'll leave first..."
After saying that, I have to leave here.
"Donor Levi! Let's run away quickly! This demon is close to the strength of the big demon. We can't defeat it. Go to Sensoji Temple in the divine capital to find a monk. There are demons making trouble here! Hurry!" Monk An Zhen knocked on the wall again with his staff.
Qingji's body, but blunt blows do not cause much damage to the snake's body.
Then the two of them walked quickly to Li Wei, pulling Li Wei in a hurry to escape.
"I asked, is there any misunderstanding between you two?" Li Wei stood talking without pain in his back, and began to wonder why Monk An Zhen looked so frightened.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Qingji hurried over. This time, Monk An Zhen gritted his teeth and stood in front of Li Wei. Then he was tightly entangled by Qingji, like a rice dumpling.
"Quickly...escape...Li Wei...donor..." An Zhen was still struggling and finally said to Li Wei.
Levi slapped his forehead suddenly, he might know what was going on.
Qing Ji also looked at Li Wei in confusion. At this time, she still had a little bit of the glamorous appearance she had just now. She was in a complete monster form, but the monster body had a human face. Not to mention An Zhen, Li Wei himself had triggered it.
The uncanny valley effect.
Levi sighed, these two guys, a yandere fell in love with a straight man, it would be strange not to explode.
"Miss Qingji, how about you turn into a human..." Li Wei said tentatively.
Finally, Qing Ji could finally understand human speech, and began to gradually lose her basilisk appearance and return to her human form, but her hands tightly hugged Monk An Zhen's neck.
"Master Anzhen, actually I don't want to eat you, I love you, let's be together forever!" Qingji Zhiqiu confessed.
At this time, An Zhen was so shocked that he opened his mouth. He probably recited countless Buddhist scriptures in his heart to calm himself down.
Calm down, calm down... Since the demon wants to play a love game, he wants to stabilize her...
An Zhen realized that she was not strong enough, so she planned to use words to stabilize Qing Ji, and then she would find an opportunity to escape from this place with Donor Li Wei.
So, he said: "Almsgiver Qingji, I agree to your request, but please forgive me for having things I have to complete. After the matter is over, I will come back to fulfill my agreement with you."
Seeing this, Li Wei had only one feeling, joy.
The yandere chases, Sparasi.
"Really?" Qing Ji seemed to loosen her hand slightly and looked at An Zhen solemnly.
"It's fake. He planned to lie to you first and then run away." Li Wei was furious, and then he looked at Qing Ji's increasingly unkind eyes and Monk An Zhen's lifeless expression. He had only one feeling on the side.
