Fangzheng was rendered speechless as he thought to himself, "As a squirrel, you are already speaking! What else do you want? Do you still want to fly? "
Although the search and rescue team had arrived, Fangzheng still felt worried. He led his disciples to guard the sky until the search and rescue team left Mt. Tongtian before returning to Mt. One Finger with his disciples. Looking up to the east, the sky was already turning bright. Unknowingly, it was almost dawn.
Fangzheng yawned and stretched his back. "Jingzhen, let's go. Strike the bell and drum before sleeping!"
Fangzheng was relaxed, but some people couldn't sleep.
Yao Zhen sat up in a daze when she heard the bell gongs on the mountaintop. She was the first to encounter the search and rescue team and was sent out. After resting for most of the night, she felt a lot more energized. Listening to the peaceful gongs of the bell and drum, she lost all her sleepiness. She curiously leaned against the window and looked up in the direction of the gongs.
"You're awake? Do you want some water? "a woman walked in and asked warmly.
Yao Zhen subconsciously shook her head. She had never been someone who was good at socializing. Usually at work, she preferred to immerse herself in a pile of documents and isolate herself from the world. She was also a little cold to others. But after experiencing a life-and-death experience last night, she suddenly realized that the world was beautiful. The people around her were so kind and beautiful.
Looking at the person in front of her, she smiled at a stranger for the first time even though she was a stranger. "I won't drink. Thank you … It's been hard on you."
"It's nothing. Are you listening to the bell and drum?" The woman sat beside Yao Zhen and looked out the window with her.
Snow was still falling outside. The trees were very tall and huge, blocking one's vision. Therefore, they couldn't see anything.
Yao Zhen nodded. "After experiencing a life-and-death experience, I've thought through many things. This bell and drum sound especially charming. It makes my heart feel a lot more at ease. "
"Heh heh, you aren't from Songwu County, right? If you were, you definitely wouldn't be unfamiliar with the bell and drum. It's One Finger Monastery's bell and drum. They sound every morning and night, "said the woman.
"You also believe in Buddhism?" Yao Zhen was taken aback.
The woman smiled. "Us? I'm just an ordinary person. Why can't I believe in Buddha? This place used to be a forest farm. Later, the country returned farmland to forests and restricted indiscriminate logging. In order not to waste it, we renovated it and turned it into a residence for us forest rangers. I've been to that mountain several times. It's very beautiful, and the master on the mountain is also very interesting and farsighted. He's always able to say something that's appropriate to human nature. I heard from the villagers that Abbot Fangzheng is rather godly. "
When Yao Zhen heard the monk's words, she wouldn't have believed it if it was any other time. But when she recalled what had happened last night, she suddenly recalled that she had done her homework before coming. The monk on Mt. One Finger seemed to be … "Do the monks on the mountain wear white monk robes?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" the woman asked.
Yao Zhen shook her head and didn't say anything. However, there was some doubt in her eyes. Could it really be him? But why can't I remember what he looked like?
She didn't tell anyone about her encounter with the white-robed monk yesterday. Firstly, she was so cold that she nearly fainted the moment she saw him. She didn't have the strength to say anything. Now that she was awake, her mind was clear. To be honest, she wasn't sure if what she saw was a hallucination or if it was a self-preservation hallucination. Thirdly, she knew that the matter was just too surreal. Even if she told anyone, no one would believe her.
But now, after confirming that the monk on Mt. One Finger wore white monk robes, she had a premonition that the person who saved her last night was definitely him! However, he didn't have any evidence, so he chose to remain silent.
After the woman left, the others who were lying by the side woke up one after another. However, they had come out late, so all of them were huddled together from the cold. They yearned to stuff themselves into a fire pit and wrap themselves up like a bean bun.
"You saw the white-robed monk too?" The person who asked was He Haijiang, who had just woken up. Although He Haijiang had suffered quite a terrible fall, with several of his bones broken, it didn't affect him from eating and talking.
Yao Zhen looked at He Haijiang in astonishment, but she didn't say a word. She clearly remembered that it was this bastard who had left her in the wilderness. If she hadn't been lucky, she would have frozen to death.
When He Haijiang saw Yao Zhen's silence, he understood something from her expression. He said bitterly, "I encountered him too."
Yao Zhen remained silent. He Haijiang lay there, looking at the ceiling as his heart was filled with bitterness. Previously, he believed that the monk was a member of the search and rescue team, but when he asked, Old Luo said that there was no such person in the search and rescue team. As for the captain of the search and rescue team not saying a word, He Haijiang had a nagging feeling that the captain knew something.
As for him being saved by Fangzheng's slap, he had been tumbling down and hadn't seen anything. Suddenly, he was slapped in the back, and he was plastered to the wall. After he fell, he was so preoccupied with the pain that he didn't see who had slapped him. Therefore, he didn't know that Fangzheng had appeared at the bottom of the valley.
However, this didn't stop him from being curious about the white-robed monk. To be able to constantly take out items from his chest, it was clearly not ordinary.
After a long time, Yao Zhen said slowly, "I encountered him."
He Haijiang was taken aback before he probed, "That monk is very godly."
Yao Zhen nodded and ignored He Haijiang. In fact, the two of them believed that their encounter with the monk was a hallucination. Now that they had confirmed it with each other, they immediately felt a stir in their hearts. Their minds were filled with horror, so how could they have the time to chat idly?
In fact, it wasn't only them. Cheng Mujie had long woken up, but she couldn't be bothered to meet or speak to He Haijiang. Therefore, she had closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Upon hearing their conversation, she recalled the white-robed monk who had tumbled down from the overturned boulder like a god. Like a towering giant, the white-robed monk had held up the boulder with both hands. Her heart was in turmoil, and she was at a loss for words.
And standing outside the door was a person. It was the captain of the search and rescue team, Meng Qingrui. Meng Qingrui stood by the door for a full ten minutes, and when he heard the people inside gradually wake up, he turned to leave.
At that moment, everyone was awake on the stove bed. However, it was a little awkward to meet again. Back then, the team had been split up again and again. Every one of them had perished. If not for some baffling and miraculous incident, they would probably have died in the mountains.
Especially for Xunzi and Glasses, who were the initiators of the event, they were too embarrassed to face everyone.
As for the monk, he had abandoned everyone and ran off several times, so he was too embarrassed to say a word.
Wei Yaqin couldn't help but ask when she saw everyone remain silent. "It was that huge white wolf and demon who saved us."
