Lu Lianxue sent a message.
Zhang Wei was startled at first, then a smile spread across his face.
"It seems Little Xue has been quite influenced by Little Lin."
In their conversation.
Even though it was midnight, a time when most people were asleep, they felt no drowsiness. Instead, they were incredibly excited, almost to the point of wanting to meet immediately to intensify their exhilaration.
[Zhang Wei]: It's a shame Little Lin is asleep, otherwise, we could have invited her to chat, haha.
[Lu Lianxue]: Little Lin went to bed long ago. She fell asleep after chatting with me. Unlike you, I don't stay up so late. But you should go to sleep quickly too, it's very late.
[Zhang Wei]: Are you sure you can sleep now?
[Lu Lianxue]: If we change the topic, I should be able to sleep. *covers mouth and laughs.jpg*
After sending this message, Lu Lianxue seemed to remember something and quickly patted her head, sending another message to Zhang Wei:
[Lu Lianxue]: Oh right, I got so caught up chatting about inappropriate topics with you that I almost forgot to tell you. Zhang Wei, do you know about the major incident that happened in Shanxi Province these past two days? A Senluo Division appeared there.
Lu Lianxue didn't keep him in suspense and shared the news she knew:
[Lu Kou Xue]: Zhang Wei, do you remember? My grandfather was involved in the Wei Dao Division's encirclement and suppression of the Senluo Division back then. They didn't manage to eliminate the Senluo Division because of one member, that young man with the reading glasses I told you about before.
[Lu Lianxue]: I received news that the young man with the reading glasses appeared in Shanxi Province. He reportedly clashed with several top Qilin Guards in Shanxi Province. If it weren't for the timely support from the Wei Dao Division, one or two top Qilin Guards would have definitely died.
[Lu Lianxue]: Now, the Wei Dao Division in Shanxi Province, along with local ghost-exorcising forces, such as Wunian's Mount Wutai and other such factions, are already discussing a joint operation to apprehend or kill that Senluo Division member with glasses on the spot.
[Lu Lianxue]: I remember you mentioned before that Wunian made a bet with you, and then he was in an online relationship with someone, and they were both living on Mount Wutai. Also, Wunian obtained the Sarira of Master Kong Jing.
[Lu Lianxue]: Although I don't know the Senluo Division's objective, it's possible that Wunian is their target. After all, the Senluo Division has a history of acting when a Zhenlong Guard dies. Coupled with the fact that we and Wunian were targeted in the Northeast before, it's possible the Senluo Division is now targeting Wunian.
[Lu Lianxue]: Zhang Wei, you can suggest to Wunian to stay less on Mount Wutai, and also to not meet his online girlfriend outside. What if he's taken as leverage? They might demand the Sarira from Wunian.
Zhang Wei smiled upon seeing this.
Others might not know the Senluo Division's objective, but he did. If Wunian were truly targeted by the man with reading glasses, with Hua Hua undercover, he would receive first-hand information.
However, this was classified information, and he couldn't tell Lu Lianxue. The fewer people who knew about Hua Hua's undercover mission, the safer Hua Hua would be.
Subsequently.
Zhang Wei replied:
[Zhang Wei]: This is indeed possible, but it's okay. This is just a guess you made, Little Xue. It's unlikely to happen. If Zhang Chao, that jinx, had said this, I might have paid attention, hahaha.
[Zhang Wei]: Don't worry, I'll mention it to Wunian.
Just as Zhang Wei continued to message Lu Lianxue.
Ding dong.
A WeChat message arrived.
Zhang Wei looked closely and was taken aback:
"Wunian?"
Instinctively, Zhang Wei glanced at the time. It was 12:10 AM. It was hard to imagine Wunian sending him a message at this hour.
Immediately.
Zhang Wei replied to Lu Lianxue, saying he would go advise Wunian, and then opened Wunian's WeChat.
[Wunian]: Amitabha, Zhang Wei, are you there? This humble monk has an urgent matter to discuss with you.
...
On the other side.
Mount Wutai, Jin City.
At this moment.
Wunian sat on the steps in front of the main hall, looking up at the night sky. The stars were sparse tonight, and the full moon was incomplete. He couldn't help but sigh, clasped his hands together, and said:
"Amitabha, Buddha. My senior and junior brothers have already started testing firearms in the back mountain. I have handled this matter. How should I proceed with the other matter?"
Since his senior and junior brothers returned last time, bringing firearms with them, Wunian never expected that Mount Wutai would one day have a group of senior and junior brothers like himself, researching Gatling guns and other firearms in their rooms every day.
However, although their actions were the same, their intentions were different.
He wanted to research firearms to see if he could achieve the power of the "Namo Gatling Bodhisattva" and verify if such a Bodhisattva truly existed, while his senior and junior brothers were simply passionate.
They had fallen in love with the fun of using firearms for ghost exorcism and had returned to encourage other disciples to try it. Now, Mount Wutai was much livelier than before. It wasn't just about chanting scriptures anymore; there was a lot more worldly atmosphere, and this atmosphere was literal, not a metaphor.
Especially today.
Relying on Wunian's profound Buddhist knowledge and his unremitting efforts in debating and explaining with the elders of his sect, he finally persuaded them to open the back mountain for his senior and junior brothers to play with cannonballs, grenades, landmines, and so on.
However, after dealing with this issue.
Wunian began to worry about another matter: Hua Hua had asked him to help burn Mount Wutai.
In fact.
He had spent a lot of time thinking about how to handle things these past few days.
Unfortunately, he was too busy with too many things: his senior and junior brothers' affairs, sect matters, contemplating Master Kong Jing's Sarira, and dating the donor Xia Mei. He couldn't manage it all. So, after some thought, he decided to trouble Zhang Wei and discuss it with him.
At the same time.
Xia Mei, hearing Wunian's words, looked at him.
"Oh dear, Wunian, Zhang Wei must be asleep at this hour. If you message him now, he'll probably reply tomorrow. You don't need to keep looking down at your phone for a message."
She saw Wunian looking at his phone from time to time after sending the message, clearly waiting for Zhang Wei's reply.
In response.
Wunian clasped his hands together and said:
"Amitabha, donor Xia Mei, you don't know Zhang Wei well. This humble monk understands Zhang Wei. Even if he's asleep, if I message him now, he'll reply very quickly..."
Before he could finish speaking.
A ding dong sound rang out, the notification tone for a WeChat message from Wunian's phone.
Immediately.
Wunian clasped his hands together and said to Xia Mei:
"See, donor Xia Mei? I was right."
Xia Mei pouted, huffed, and turned her head away. She felt inexplicably jealous. This foolish Wunian understood Zhang Wei better than he understood her. Really, why doesn't he understand me more? That stinky Wunian! Bah, bah, bah!
Wunian didn't notice Xia Mei. Accustomed to Xia Mei's tsundere behavior, he picked up his phone to read Zhang Wei's message.
[Zhang Wei]: I'm here, Wunian. Good evening. No, good midnight. By the way, did you roll around in bed with Xia Mei? Did you roll around in bed with Xia Mei? Did you roll around in bed with Xia Mei? Important things are said three times.
