"Huh?"

In the amazement of the three of them, Chen Anchong beckoned to the girl who appeared at some point and was hiding behind the gate, probing her head to look at the temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yo, little girl, I see you've been there for a long time. Why, aren't you ready to come in and sit? ”

Scare!?

The girl was startled by Chen An's sudden greeting, and the whole person shrank behind the door.

Hibiki hid behind the door, and Chen An patted his little chest where they couldn't see.

"Wow~ I didn't think it was discovered, but it turned out that it had been discovered a long time ago, and it really deserves to be the archmage."

After muttering two sentences to himself, Hibiki in the valley was a little troubled.

Originally, I just came to see why the temple that had been chanting the scriptures suddenly lost the sound of the scriptures, but I didn't expect to be discovered.

Should it be gone? But if she leaves like this, will it make a bad impression on the archmage inside and think that she is rude?

Thinking like this, an idea suddenly popped up in her heart when she thought about Chen An's attitude when she called her before.

Hmm~ Seeing that the Grand Master (Hibiki Yugu doesn't know Chen An and has never been to the temple), he seems to be a gentle person, why don't you just take this opportunity to join this temple?

Joining the temple, as soon as this thought appeared, it plunged deeply into Hibiki Yugu's mind, making her more and more excited.

Hibiko Yuya is a mountain hibiki, a type that dwells in the valley and responds to echoes, a very common type of youkai that should have been very common.

However, in recent years, for various reasons, the number of individuals in Yamahiko has continued to decrease, and until now, she is the only one in the valley where Hibiko Yugu is located.

Hibiki in the valley is a youkai that echoes, and if someone yells at her, she will naturally respond happily.

But the question is – no.

The little valley where she was was never visited was anyone.

With no companions, no visitors, she felt lonely left alone in the valley.

Maybe it's because of this that she's the only one left there.

However, this loneliness was dispelled when the temple, which until now had no name, was located near the valley where Hibiki lived.

Zhongzheng is peaceful, and the sound of Buddhist scriptures that makes people feel calm is transmitted from the temple to the valley every day, which not only gives the lonely valley Xiangzi something to do, but also makes her look forward to this place very much.

The monk who can chant the kind of sutra that infects her must be a powerful archmage, right? And a temple with that kind of archmage must be a good temple, right?

I really want to join there, recite the sutras in the temple, and I really want to practice with that great master.

After appearing from the temple, Hibiki in the valley has thought about it more than once.

But she's just a weak grassroots monster, so she hasn't dared to come here out of inferiority, and she hasn't come to tell the temple archmage (currently Inmaru Xing) about her wishes.

All she could do was recite the Buddhist scriptures from afar in the valley every day.

Although there is some regret that the wish in her heart cannot be realized, this has made Hibiki in the valley very happy.

However, such a small happiness was shattered some time ago.

For some reason, the sound of chanting from the temple that was peaceful and peaceful, and made her feel calm and happy, was gone.

She had thought that maybe it was because the archmage in the temple was tired, or maybe it was because the archmage went out that the sutras would disappear.

But it didn't seem to be the case, and the second, third, fourth, and even now, the peaceful sound of chanting the Buddhist scriptures has never been heard again.

This once made Hibiki in the valley very uneasy.

She was afraid that something had happened to the Grand Master in the temple, and she was even more afraid that this temple would disappear without any warning just like when she first came.

So after hesitating for a long time, the psychology of being timid because of low self-esteem has finally been broken by the increasingly intense uneasiness to this day.

She walked out of the valley where she lived, and boldly went to this temple, which was so sacred to her, to see why it had lost its chanting.

Originally, I just wanted to take a sneak peek, but I didn't expect to be discovered.

This made her panic, but also inexplicably felt courage.

She glanced back, and her eyes seemed to penetrate the thick door panel, and she saw the archmage who had been talking to her friend without the slightest slight, which she found very interesting.

Perhaps, really.

After hesitating for a while, Hibiko Yugu clenched her fists and finally mustered up the courage to go into the temple and tell her the archmage in her mind that she wanted to join the temple.

Just as Hibiko in the valley plucked up her courage and decided not to hide anymore, but to enter the temple, she turned around and was suddenly startled.

It turned out to be Chen An, who had walked out of the temple at some point and came behind her.

"Little girl, is there anything you have to do with this temple?"

Chen An looked at the little girl with a smile, and the gentle smile on her face made the little girl feel peaceful.

Although she had made up her mind, Hibiki Yougu was still a little nervous in her heart, but Chen An's gentle attitude made her feel at ease.

It's really worthy of the archmage, and it's really magnanimous.

With a little worship in her heart, Hibiki Yugu bowed to Chen An and said her thoughts loudly.

"Archmage, can you let me join this temple and become your disciple?

Serving tea and pouring water, washing and cooking, no matter how I call it, I will definitely do it seriously. Please accept me. ”

Chen An was stunned for a moment, and he understood that Hibiki in the valley had recognized the wrong person and regarded him as Yin Maru Xing.

White Lotus didn't come back, and the presiding officer of the temple was Inmaru Xing.

He smiled wryly, and although he didn't want to hit Hibiki in the valley, he still had to shake his head and refuse.

didn't take this opportunity to talk nonsense, flickering with longing, rare courage to muster up the little girl, but the facts are not clear.

Chen An was rare and serious, and said seriously.

"It's a pity, I don't want to say that, but I still have to refuse you."

Hibiki suddenly looked up, her eyes full of loss.

She laughed to herself.

"Sure enough, am I still whimsical? It's really ...... for an unruly fish-belly monster like me to become a disciple of the archmage Not really.

If you become a member of the temple, you will definitely cause trouble to the archmaster, right? With a weak disciple like me, it must be a shame to say it. ”

Sighing in disappointment, Yougu Xiangzi bowed respectfully to Chen An again.

"Master Archmage, I actually came this time because the chanting sound in the temple is gone, and I am a little worried about what will happen in the temple.

Now it seems that I am ridiculously unfounded. Please forgive me if I have caused you any trouble because of what I just said. I'm sorry. ”

After the third bow, Hibiki Glen was disappointed and ready to leave.

"Wait."

Then, a large hand was placed on her shoulder.

Hibiki turned around, her attitude was not dissatisfied with the rejection, and she was still respectful.

"Archmage, is it okay for you to call me?"

Seeing the little girl's attitude, Chen An couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Little girl, don't go so fast, I haven't finished my sentence yet."

"Huh?"

Hibiki was stunned for a moment, and suddenly rejoiced.

"Archmage, have you decided to take me?"

Shenzi walked out from behind Chen An and looked at Hibiki in the valley very funny.

"Naive little girl, didn't you ever inquire about the monks in the temple before you came to the temple?

Even if you don't, you should know that the monks in this temple are all women.

And this ......"

Shenzi patted Chen An, who was smiling bitterly, on the shoulder, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"This Lord Chen An, who you think is the Archmage, is a man.

He was just a friend of the Grand Master, not a monk in the temple at all. He rejects you, not because he looks down on you, but because he can't take you. ”

Looking at the stunned Hibiki of the valley, Miko felt more and more funny.

can actually treat Chen An as Yin Maru Xing, this little girl is really ignorant and ignorant of the world.

Then again, Chen An can be mistaken for an archmage, which is really an unexpected, but also reasonable and inexplicable feeling.

Alas, when will he get rid of his bad taste and become serious?

If so, it must be more likeable, right?

Shenzi glanced at Chen An, but the corners of his mouth were faintly outlined.

Forget it, if this guy can become serious, then it probably won't be him, right?

Or is that the real him?

Looking at Chen An's side face, Shenzi suddenly sighed in his heart.

Let's hope it's not the latter.

At this time, Hibiki in the valley finally came back to her senses from her stunnedness.

Looking at Chen An, her face flushed with shame.

It turned out that it wasn't that the archmage looked down on her, but that she was stupid enough to make a big oolong!

Seeing the cute appearance of Hibiki in the valley who seemed to want to find a hole in the ground and hide it, Chen An also knew that she understood the truth.

He smiled and rubbed the little girl's hair.

"Do you now know why I rejected you? Not because I look down on people, but because I can't.

You don't have to be presumptuous, although I can't promise you, but I know that the people in the temple are not the kind of people who think very highly of themselves. If you really want to join this temple, they will happily agree. ”

The little girl who was squinting and enjoying Chen An's touch of her head suddenly widened her eyes when she heard this, and it seemed a little incredible.

"Really? Can I really join this temple? ”

"Of course. But not now, because the people in the temple have gone out. ”

"Alas~! How can this be~"

Seeing that the little girl was hanging her ears and looking a little lost, Chen An smiled dumbly.

He teased the little girl.

"What an anxious little girl. Well, I'll give you one. If you are really in a hurry, there are still a few Taoist priests in the temple, who are not monks, how about becoming Taoist priests. ”

The little girl whimpered and shook her head, and a pair of soft ears fluttered in the air.

She waved her hand and was very resolute.

"Woo, don't, don't. I like to chant sutras and listen to chanting, so I want to be a monk, not a Taoist. ”

"Son of God, you are disliked."

Chen An ridiculed the gods, and he gained a wordy sentence.

Chen An made a gesture of invitation to the little girl.

"Although the host is not here, guests are still welcome here, how about it, little girl, would you be interested in going in and having a look?"

The little girl blinked blankly, then nodded vigorously and laughed happily.

"Hmm!"
