Autumn Whispers

The small bookstore is by the ink lake, where there are many wandering vendors hidden among the houses, and there are more than a dozen hot pot shops. Yi Guy’s food has always been good, so Qin Qi’er has often gone to the bookstore to eat and drink in the past two years. Of course, Ye Xiangseng has always disdained to enjoy this kind of welfare.

Today at Guiyuan Temple, there was no greasy smell in the food, so Qin Qier naturally didn’t come here to make a living.

Yi Tianxing took the tea handed over by Zhike Monk, took a sip, looked at Qin Qier’s sluggish ponytail, looked at her slightly pale and haggard face, and asked with concern: “What’s the matter? .”

Qin Qier glared at him: “What happened, don’t you know that it’s raining shell casings from the sky, crackling, and hitting the ground is terrible. Our hundreds of employees have been busy all night.”

Yi Tianxing spit out the tea in his mouth, scratched his head, and said embarrassingly: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I don’t blame me for this matter, it’s really nothing.” Then he frowned and asked solemnly : “Didn’t hit anyone?”

Qin Qi’er flung her ponytail back over her shoulder chicly, and said, “You’re lucky, you didn’t hit anyone.”

Yi Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief, and asked curiously: “What name did the Mijiu team use this time?”

“Super powerful hail.”

“But it’s not the right color.”

“Can’t mutated hailstones be used?”

“Yes, yes.” Yi Tianxing knew that he had caused a lot of trouble for the other party, so he didn’t take advantage of it.

“Here.” Qin Qier threw something over with her hands.

Yi Tianxing took it, and the tentacles were soft. When he took a closer look, tears filled his eyes. He squeezed the girl’s hands and said excitedly, “Thank you, I really can’t go to school without this thing.”

This is very false, the effect of the small schoolbag on Yi Tianxing is obviously greater.

Liu Chu’s power in the world is indeed great, and they also picked up the small Mickey brand schoolbag that Yi Tianxing casually threw in a certain corner of the mountain.

Qin Qier withdrew her hand, gave him a blank look, and suddenly became very interestedHe asked, “Brother, who was the monk who chased you down that day?”

As soon as he heard the word brother, he knew it was not a good thing. Yi Tianxing thought about it a little, and said seriously: “You should pretend that you have never seen or heard of this matter, or you should learn that this matter never existed at all.”

Seeing what he said was solemn and serious, Qin Qier frowned slightly, knowing that the matter must be serious, she thought about it and said: “But we have already reported this matter to the council.”

“I can’t hide from those old guys.” Yi Tianxing waved his hands indifferently, “They are better than you, so they naturally know what attitude they should show at this time.”

“what attitude”

“Cover your ears, it’s like the thunder never strikes.”

Qin Qier suddenly smiled and said, “But brother, I heard that those old men are going to reward you.”

“Reward” Yi Tianxing’s brows flashed a hint of vigilance. Although the council member Zhao Daju seems to have a good relationship with him, he has deliberately distanced himself from the power of the world. What exactly do they want to do?

“It’s nothing.” Qin Qi’er saw his doubts and explained: “My lord father called last night, probably because he felt that you stood firm in this matter, so the old comrades feel very relieved.”

The girl is giggling.

Yi Tianxing said unhappily: “These old guys are gratified, but it is not good for me.” He understands that he has bravely fought against the people from the heavens, and seems to have become the spokesperson of the power of the world in a certain sense, so those who take protecting the world as their duty The old comrades of the council will be old and comforted.

“I’m going to give some rewards.” Yi Tianxing suddenly thought of this issue involving specific interests, and smiled a little greedily.

“A May Fourth Youth Medal.”

“I bother.”

“Then what kind of money are you going to ask for? You are a Chinese rich man now. With power, you are equivalent to an armored division. You don’t like to take responsibility for power. Beauty, hehe, let’s not say that it is impossible for us to make such a thing.” Such a thing, even if the council is willing to give it to you, do you dare to ask for it?”

Qin Qier hit his self-esteem.

“Then don’t just give me a medal, I don’t want it.” Yi Tianxing was a little angry.

“This is a gesture. The country can’t give you anything now. If you accept the honor, everyone will feel more balanced.” Qin Qier comforted him.

Yi Tianxing frowned and said, “But I’ve been eating and waiting to die all day long, so if you give me a medal, you have to have a name, and you have to be famous.”

Qin Qier wondered: “You are an invisible celebrity now, don’t you know?”

Yi Tianxing raised his eyebrows: “What nonsense, when did it happen?”

Qin Qi’er turned her head slightly, staring at him until she was furious, and said after a while, “In the past two years, you don’t know how much money the company under your hand has donated.”

Yi Tianxing thought for a while, and touched his head: “Mo Sha often receives letters from some foundations, and I really don’t know how much I have donated. Anyway, check whether the money is really needed, and if necessary, I will sign it .”

Qin Qier nodded, stood up, raised her upper arm and patted him on the shoulder: “That’s right, you are the person who has donated the most money in our country in the past two years. In terms of contribution to social welfare, you You can also get the May Fourth Youth Medal.”

Yi Tianxing was dumbfounded: “I only have a small company under my control, how much money I can make should I donate it?”

He may know many things, he can memorize maps of all the cities in the world, and he can recite the full text of “Dream of Red Mansions”, but he will always maintain an idiot mind when it comes to the numbers on banknotes.

Before leaving, Qin Qier said a word: “Anyway, I’m giving you an honor, you’d better continue.” After a pause, she said: “In this way, we can also explain to the higher-ups why we are willing to accept the new munitions developed by the Sixth Division. Lend it to you.”

Turning stealing into an excuse, the little girl with ponytails really matured a lot.

The car stopped at the gate of the Provincial People’s Hospital, and Yi Tianxing smacked his lips and got out of the car. The beef pot at the entrance of the hospital is still so mouth-watering. The bright red beef is smeared with spicy oil and served with a moderately hard and soft noodle box. If you take a bite, the taste is definitely much better than the plain noodles at Guiyuan Temple.

A few years ago, after Xiao Jinsong had his leg cut off by Zongsi, he also stayed in the People’s Hospital for a while. A few years later, Yi Tianxing still had a very clear memory of the hospital’s structure. He sat in the passenger seat, rolled down the window, and gnawed fragrantly all the way with two pots in his hand. When the car passed certain areas along the road, he could always see people looking at him curiously.

People always think that hospitals are places with the most viruses and bacteria, and eating here is a bit like living too long. But in fact, the hospital is cleaner than the outside, and Yi Tianxing’s body does not seem to be in danger of being infected by the virus.

The senior cadre ward is a separate building, with a small garden, flowing water, rockery and ugly rocks, tall trees, autumn grass and white flowers beside it, and a row of cars on the parking lot. The cars are not very luxurious, but the license plates are all numbers that represent power.

Yi Tianxing’s license plate is also a special number plate, given by the Sixth Office, and the car is not surprising, the Guangzhou Honda Accord, the one that just came off the production line.

The driver was muttering: “This car only sells for 12,500 dollars at the little devil’s place, and it will sell for double the price here, fuck.” After saying this, he touched the car subconsciously.Touch the steering wheel.

Yi Tianxing comforted him: “It is to contribute to the national tax revenue.”

Getting off the car and going upstairs, there was a chaotic sound of pedaling footsteps, and suddenly some noisy voices came from the room at the end of the corridor next to the senior cadre ward.

A gust of breeze came, and Yi Tianxing had flitted to the door of the ward, and pushed the door in with a black face.

In the ward, Master Bin Ku was tilting his head, with an oxygen tube inserted, an IV line inserted in his hand, and the lines of the electrocardiogram on his chest, looking extremely miserable.

Yi Tianxing propped his chin with one hand, paced lightly beside the hospital bed, his eyes occasionally drifted past the master abbot on the hospital bed.

The novice who was looking after the sickbed said in embarrassment: “Dharma protector, master.”

Yi Tianxing smiled: “Don’t worry, you go out first.”

All the monks in He Temple of Guiyuan Temple knew that Yi Hufa was in a bad mood recently. It seemed that the master abbot had teased him, and he was so angry that he ate lamb at Guiyuan Temple every day. There is no meeting to be held. Hearing Yi Tianxing’s words, the little novice ran out as if he had been pardoned.

Master Bin Ku woke up leisurely at this time, and said in a very weak way: “Layman, you are here.”

Yi Tianxing smiled and said, “Yes, I’m here.” He paused, then turned his head slightly, pulled out the oxygen tube from Master Binku’s nose, shook his head and sighed: “It’s too late to come here.” In such a hurry, Master forgot to infuse oxygen from the oxygen tube, caused Master’s drip needle to bleed, and caused Master to forget to turn on the electrocardiogram machine, what a crime, boy.”

Master Binku was stunned for a moment, then suddenly he laughed loudly, with silver eyebrows fluttering: “The ability to deceive people is best at protecting the law. This old monk is really making a fool of himself.” It’s okay to salute.

Yi Tianxing also respectfully returned the salute.

“Tell me.”

“Although I don’t know how the Dharma protector guessed, but I think it is not too far from the truth.” Master Bin Ku said with a smile, “The arhats of the heavens on Mount Sumeru were beaten down to the mortal world. As a disciple of Buddhism, I must do something.”

Yi Tianxing shook his head: “There is no reason to play like this, you played too much this time, Ye Xiang and I almost lost our heads.”

A trace of guilt flashed in Master Binku’s eyes: “I thought that the trip to Dharma Protector and Ye Xiangmeiling should go smoothly, so as not to disturb the Great Strength Bodhisattva.”

“Since it’s explained.” Yi Tianxing looked at him and said coldly: “Where are you from and what do you want to do?”

Master Bin Ku moved his silver eyebrows again, and after calling out the Buddha’s name, his sense of virtuous and respected gradually rose: “I pray that the common people will get what they wish, and I hope that the world will return to peace.”

Yi Tianxing was silent. These were the two words of Master Ma Sheng on Meiling. After a long time, he said slowly: “You are friends with Ma Sheng in Meiling, but it is unjust for me to go up the mountain to kill him. You It is inhumane to have Ye Xiang’s master and apprentice status, but to put him in a dangerous situation. How can we explain this inhumanity?”

Master Binku smiled slightly: “Master Yinguang taught Master Ma Sheng the method of holding Buddha to see Buddha. I am friends with him. How can I not know that all living beings do not need Buddha to transcend. Now he is transformed into an Arhat. After reincarnation, his cultivation will be perfect. Diligent, I use conspiracy to prevent him from going astray. This is a friend. Ye Xiang is my first disciple, but he is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. He is not in danger. How can he make a trip to Meiling? Wouldn’t his practice help the Buddha finger to replant his body, his nature is pure and kind, and his cultivation strength is stronger, and the kindness in this world will be more protected, what is inhumane?”

Yi Tianxing smiled involuntarily and shook his head: “This is right and wrong, and that is also right and wrong. The old monk’s right and wrong are different from mine.” He sighed: “I really don’t like that everyone around me is conspiring. Senior.”

He stared into Master Binku’s eyes, and slowly asked: “With your cultivation, you don’t have the guts to arrange this kind of situation, but Guanyin of the South China Sea has instructed you.”

Master Binku agreed slightly, without saying a word, as if acquiescing, or as if he was going to drink chili water and sit on the tiger stool.

“What on earth is she thinking? If she wants to find the Buddha and rebuild Mount Sumeru, she can do it by herself and don’t do things blindly to us honest people.” Yi Tianxing was really angry.

There was still silence.

Yi Tianxing frowned: “Is Zhang Xiaobai a Bodhisattva?”

Master Binku raised his head in astonishment: “Who is Zhang Xiaobai?”

The demeanor is sincere and does not seem to be fake, but how can Yi Tianxing dare to believe this old monk now? When he thought about the trip of the Buddhist finger relics, everything lost was arranged by the old monk behind his back. Itchy, fierce eyes

Master Bin Ku didn’t change his face, he said leisurely: “Cut on the head of the axe, and the Buddha’s heart sits.”

This is playing a rogue, everything that should be said has been said, if you want to kill me, then kill me, I will not fight back anyway, let you kill me.

Yi Tianxing couldn’t really kill him.

Putting these things aside for now, Yi Tianxing is no longer the bewildered young man who could be blackmailed by the power of the world. Although he still yearns for and strives to create a peaceful and happy life in the world, the changes in strength and mood have made him He can be calm and stable, and take everything lightly.

If a person is already in the sky, no matter whether the wind is surging or the waves are rising and the clouds are disappearing, he is only changing under his feet.

The eyes are no longer looking up, but down,looking down.

The relationship between him and the council maintains a very delicate balance. There is very little contact between the two parties, and the occasional contact is only through the two daughters of the Qin family. After all, they are acquaintances and friends, so it is easier to talk.

It’s just that Qin Zi’er disappeared suddenly, and he didn’t know where he went.

What Yi Tianxing is worried about now is the higher and farther high altitude above the high altitude, the space that he has never set foot on, but is full of countless doubts and unknown dangers.

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is very powerful, he can jump down from that space at any time, and smash Xiao Yi to the ground.

Xiao Yi can only look at the sky helplessly, at least for now, he doesn’t have enough courage to go to that space to roam the rivers and lakes, although he has accumulated enough resentment, curiosity and urgent wish that Master should be here In that space, to rescue the old monkey, it seems that one day he must go.

It’s fine if you don’t go, if you can reach some kind of agreement with that teacher Zhang.

If Mr. Zhang is the person he imagined.

Still in Guiyuan Temple, the great supernatural power of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva left a little shadow in Yi Tianxing’s heart. For safety’s sake, he stayed by the big tree of his master and refused to leave.

Bin Ku was still in the hospital, and after that day, Yi Tianxing also gave up, knowing that he couldn’t get anything out of the old bald donkey’s mouth, so he was lazy to seek his bad luck, but only occupied his Zen room, There are a lot of illegal things piled up in the meditation room, such as chicken legs, such as fatty fish hot pot, such as third-grade slices, such as

A thick stack of files was placed in front of him, and Yi Tianxing frowned and flipped through them non-stop. After a few breaths, he checked the contents of these files and kept them firmly in his mind.

This is the file of Mr. Zhang Xiaobai that was obtained through Director Pan.

The file records in detail all the process of Zhang Xiaobai from birth to university, and then to teach in the primary school attached to the provincial capital. The details include opening the door of her kindergarten toilet, and the boys at the same table in elementary school are clearly recorded. Chu.

Zhang Xiaobai was born in a factory and mining area in the provincial capital. He followed the usual growth curve of Chinese girls, reading and studying, and then returned to the place where he studied to teach.

There is nothing unusual or abnormal at all.

And this is why Yi Tianxing frowned at this time. If it is really a Bodhisattva, it is too easy to forge a file. Even if it constitutes an illusory consciousness, it is not impossible to forge many neighbors and even first loves that do not exist.

But the problem is that Bodhisattva spends so much energy, why he stays in the human world? He still can’t figure it out thoroughly. Looking at the trend of the people, it’s just an occasional visit to the lower realm to play a few bottles, and there is no sign of preparation for a long-term war of resistance.

Could it be that Zhang Xiaobai is really not a Bodhisattva?

Could it be that Yi Tianxing is really playing a big oolong

People from Pengfei Industry and Trade have been watching Mr. Zhang’s every move. Ordinary people staring at it will not cause any unnecessary conflicts.

In the past few days, Teacher Zhang Xiaobai eats, sleeps and goes to work as usual to teach the children. Although the eyes staring at Xiao Yi Zhu are always a little weird, but thinking of the fright she received in the past few days, after seeing Yi Zhu, she can barely Standing upright on the podium without screaming and running out of the classroom is enough to prove that she has good teacher morality.

Zhang Xiaobai didn’t seem to be in good health these days, her face was a little pale, which just proved that she was a mortal, and the sequelae of being frightened showed up. Other than that, everything was as usual.

This knowledge made Yi Tianxing a little discouraged. In the meditation room, he looked at the woman who was reading a book beside him, and said in a muffled voice: “If I follow my method, I would have tried it out earlier.”

Lei Lei was reading her textbooks, and she was quite nervous about her studies in her junior year. When she heard him speak, she gave him a blank look: “You should try that dirty trick.”

Yi Tianxing wailed: “It’s not real rape, it’s just calling a few people to pretend.”

A murderous aura suddenly rose in Master Bin Ku’s meditation room, and the sense of oppression was extremely strong.

Yi Tianxing raised his hand and surrendered: “I’m not as good as a pig or a dog, you spare me.” He dared to think about such outrageous things, no wonder Zou Leilei had a strong urge to kill him.

Everything has a bottom line. Yi Tianxing, who has always been like a poodle when guarding his family, is definitely unacceptable to let a person of unknown origin stay in the provincial capital of his base camp, so on a bleak autumn day, he walked slowly Walked to the vicinity of the Provincial University.

This trip has two purposes, one is to bring his wife and children home, and the other is to see what kind of fairy Zhang Xiaobai is.

“What resigned”

“why”

“Frightened and returned to my hometown for recuperation”

“Where is Teacher Zhang’s hometown?”

“Oh, I’m concerned because she has always been very good to my children. I heard that she is not in good health. I really want to go and see.”

“I don’t know where I’ve been since I don’t live in my hometown anymore”

In this way, Teacher Zhang Xiaobai completely disappeared from the life of Yi’s family without leaving any traces. Even though Yi Tianxing was unwilling and invited some people from the Six Offices and even the Taoist sect to help him search around, he still couldn’t find it in this world. she comes.

Appearing suddenly, disappearing suddenly, Zhang Xiaobai’s existence in this world seems to have only been in such a short period of more than a month.Killed the Yi family father and son, and then disappeared.

But she did not leave any evidence to indicate her possible identity. Although Yi Tianxing had countless guesses, in the end, he could only admit with a sigh that the identity of this woman was a mystery.

“It seems that the matter of the Buddha really depends on me.”

“Ok.”

“It seems that one day I still have to go up.”

“Ok.”

“It’s really a poor life.”

“Ok.”

“It’s better to eat mutton at night. Lao Xing recently switched to eating and drinking, and put the little fat sheep on a plate. Let’s go eat. I guess he is too embarrassed to ask for money. He has to take his master Ye Xiangna monk with him, so that the autumn wind will be more effective.” grasp.”

“Ok.”

Walking on the provincial capital street where the autumn wind was rising, Yi Tianxing narrowed his eyes, holding Leilei’s hand with one hand, and Xiao Yi Zhu’s fat hand with the other, walking on the street in silence.

There is a dark sky above the head, and occasionally the autumn sun shines through, which is extremely beautiful.
