Suzaku

The Red Clothes and the Donkey

In the provincial capital, there is a small courtyard with an ancient style. Inside is a two-story building with an antique flavor. Some cold-resistant plants are hybridized inside and outside the courtyard. When autumn comes, it will naturally show vitality, which is different from other gardens. The big green color makes the whole yard look green.

This is Jixiangtian’s courtyard in the provincial capital in previous years. Qin Zi’er used to live here when he was the young master of Jixiangtian. It was also in this courtyard that Qin Zi’er once thought about killing Yi Tianxing, but later used up his life energy to help Yi Tianxing fight the elders of Qingjingtian.

Whether friend or foe, it is a thing of the past.

The Qin family are all weirdFor people who are not alone, emotions are rarely reflected on their faces, including among family members. There was only one exception, that girl was smiling sweetly all day long, her small mouth was pouting, and she was the one who spoke pleasantly, Qin Qi’er, who had been the director of the Sixth Office in the provincial capital for the past few years.

That cute little girl with the ponytail.

After being the “Director Qin” for several years, Qin Qi’er would occasionally untie the braids that dangled behind her head as she walked, and put a poached egg on top of her head like those women, looking immature. Beautiful, but a little funny.

The staff of the No. 6 Department in the provincial capital liked this little girl director very much, because Qin Qier seldom arranged the complicated work for the young monks, and more often held garden parties in the No. 6 “coffin building”.

Since this incident happened, all the six divisions in China were disbanded on the spot, and those who had strong divisions they could rely on returned to their divisions, and the rest of the staff also entered a latent state.

But it was impossible for Qin Qier to leave. After all, there were so many things to be dealt with in the Sixth Office on weekdays, and it was impossible to leave everything behind. Although the provincial capital was safe, she could not leave her post without authorization.

So she left the building of the Sixth Office, led a group of people under her command into the provincial capital, and stayed in the small courtyard where her sister used to live. The provincial capital is safe, so she is not worried that those gods in the sky will come to deal with her.

In the early morning light, Qin Qier got up from the bed, stepped on the pure white cashmere blanket with bare feet, leaned on the stool and stared at the scenery in the yard in a daze. She knew that her elder sister also liked to step on this blanket with bare feet in a daze.

I don’t know how the family is doing now

The news from Gobi in the Western Regions has not come back yet, and she doesn’t want to go to the small bookstore to ask. After all, she just had a good relationship with Yi Tianxing. After Yi Tianxing left, she went to the small bookstore again, and she always felt that her identity was a bit awkward, especially when Chen Shuping also came to the provincial capital and lived in the small bookstore. This understanding has always made Qin Qier Very angry.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Qier went to wash up casually, wiped her face casually, took off the rubber band from her wrist and put it on her black hair, and then jumped downstairs, the ponytail on the back of her head was like Jumping like an elf.

In the flowerbed behind the small building, she watched the spirea dipping into the wet soil, and for some reason, the circles of her eyes slowly turned red.

“You, if you knew that things in this world have developed to this point, would you still do those things back then?” Qin Qier forced a smile and watered the chrysanthemums, “Brother stupid, looking back now, you Those things you did were really unnecessary, do you know what you would do if you were still alive?”

The morning breeze blew across the flowerbed, and the spirea that had just woken up trembled slightly, as if answering her question. Qin Qi’er smiled sweetly, and said, “I know, you big slacker, you just like to sleep now, and you don’t want to worry about anything.”

Immediately afterwards, she scratched her head, pursed her mouth, seemed a little angry, turned and left the flower garden.

A few months ago, Yi Tianxing had traveled overseas. At that time, somehow he had a relationship with the Pope. Everyone drafted some agreements, and related negotiations have been going on in secret. Even the tense domestic atmosphere in recent days has not stopped the pace of negotiations between the two parties.

The Vatican sent a secret mission to visit China recently. One of the cardinals insisted on coming to the provincial capital, saying that the provincial capital was the place where a certain saint of the Holy See first preached, so He is coming to visit.

The Chinese government is very puzzled. There has never been such a statement in the relevant historical materials, but since the other side insists, and the provincial capital is not an important military location, out of diplomatic and practical interests, it agrees. Request from the Vatican Mission.

Qin Qier’s job today is to welcome the Vatican mission’s trip to the provincial capital and carry out secret security work.

The government and foreign affairs departments didn’t know what was special about the provincial capital, but Qin Qi’er knew it clearly. When she thought of the demands of those Western priests, she couldn’t help frowning and raised her spirits.

Although it was a secret mission, it was a big event after all. The secret mission was accompanied by Director Ye of the Bureau of Religious Affairs along the way. Therefore, many religious people from the provincial capital came, and the reception crowd was very complicated. The most eye-catching one was naturally the highest-ranking Master Bin Ku of Guiyuan Temple.

He is a director of the Buddhist Association and the vice chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. It is considered that he has given the Vatican enough face to carry out the reception work.

The reception crowd stood cautiously on the side of National Highway 304, where there was a toll booth, which happened to be the dividing line between the urban area and the suburbs of the provincial capital. This line was set by Master Bin Ku, and it was closer to the provincial capital than usual.

The people around didn’t know why he insisted on meeting the Vatican mission here. If Yi Tianxing was still there, they would definitely see through the fear of death hidden under the robes of the compassionate old monk.

The closer he was to the provincial capital, the closer he was to the old monkey, and naturally Bin Ku would feel safer.

Qin Qi’er watched coldly from the side, just wondering if those Western priests would be a little upset after seeing these monks.

Not long after, a convoy of trains drove over the national highway quietly. The ghost-like black body did not seem to reflect a gleam of luster.

The reception team, which was not many people present, began to put on peaceful smiles and reserved faces on their faces, ready to welcome the Chinese people who are thousands of miles away from China.The Holy See small country mission that has been clamoring for many years.

The vicinity of the toll booth has already been alerted, and the front and rear traffic is blocked a few kilometers away, so this place is particularly quiet.

Even the approaching convoy made no sound.

Only under the toll booth, the donkeys in the farmhouses seemed not to be very obedient, and while blindfolded, they turned around the millstone and brayed with their donkey heads.

“hungry hungry”

The hoarse braying of the donkey’s hunger echoed through the village.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, not paying attention.

The convoy stopped, and the people from the political ax rushed up to meet them. Master Bin Ku and the religious people in the provincial capital lagged behind with some reserve, deliberately keeping a distance of a few meters from the mortals.

The missions of the Vatican do as the Romans do when they go to the countryside, get out of the car calmly with Chinese characteristics, shake hands calmly, and talk enthusiastically.

Director Ye introduced the staff of this mission to the receptionists in the provincial capital, including a cardinal and archbishop, several cardinals, and a lot of miscellaneous people.

The faces of the priests were shrouded in the spring breeze. It seems that they saw a lot of scenery during their trip to China and enjoyed a lot of blessings in the world.

Strangely, there was a cardinal who had been sitting in the middle car and did not get off. Although the religious people in the provincial capital were surprised, they did not ask more questions out of politeness.

Master Bin Ku’s silver eyebrows fluttered, his eyes swept over the dark rear seat of the car, and he found that the cardinal who seemed to be hiding in the darkness had an extremely old face, and he didn’t know how old he was.

Master Binku knew that the members of the Vatican’s College of Cardinals should generally not exceed the age of eighty, but looking at the cardinal staying in the car, he always felt that he was already over a hundred years old.

It’s a weird feeling.

Bin Ku walked forward calmly, and then heard a donkey bray.

He felt a little strange, subconsciously looked around, and found that no one around him heard anything, their expressions were as usual, it seemed that he was the only one who heard the shrill donkey bray. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help frowning, his silver-white eyebrows fluttering in the breeze.

In the middle of the convoy, the old cardinal sitting in the dark at the back of the car also frowned at the same time.

A gust of breeze came, and the eyes of the disturbed people blurred. When they looked again, they found that Master Bin Ku had disappeared.

A strange color appeared in Qin Qier’s pupils, and she immediately assigned her subordinates to investigate, but they couldn’t find anything at all. It seemed that at that moment, Master Binku disappeared in such a strange way.

The old cardinal got out of the car slowly, walked to the side of the road, looked at the village below, his cloudy pupils narrowed slightly, a bright light shot out from inside, and then he sighed.

This sigh was very soft, but it suddenly spread far away.

Guiyuan Temple direction.

In the thatched hut by the small lake in the back garden, the ancestor was reading the newspaper when he heard this sigh, he couldn’t help but shook his head, stretched out his fine-haired arm from the old cassock, stretched it out to the back of his head and scratched it twice Itches and seems impatient.

The palm returned to the front, and a fine hair had been pulled out.

The old ancestor opened his lips and blew, and the fine hairs passed through the light blue vajra subduing demon circle mistyly, escaped from the cassock formation, and flew towards a certain mountain in the suburbs of the provincial capital.

The autumn grass is yellow, the green hills are light, and the golden wind, jade and dew are easy to meet.

Enemies are jealous when they meet each other.

In a secluded place in that valley, Bin Ku sat cross-legged on the ground, his body covered with grass clippings and mud, his eyes closed, his palms clasped together, and he kept chanting the most powerful sutras in the convenient method , I added countless pure and clear handprints to myself.

A faint light came out from his body and from the seam of his cassock, making this secluded valley extremely holy.

A few meters in front of him, an old man with a donkey was looking at him blankly.

“Don’t struggle anymore, this is where you will die.”

The old man leading the donkey spoke indifferently, and sentenced Bin Ku to death.

Bin Ku slowly opened his eyes, and when he was arrested here by this expert using the God of Service, he knew that he was definitely not his opponent.

To have such terrifying strength, it can only be someone from the heavens.

Binku bowed his head and saluted: “If you dare to ask this immortal family, what is the crime of the poor monk?” Then he smiled and said: “Before asking where the immortal family’s cave is, I lost my mind and asked the crime, the poor monk is rude.”

In this critical situation, Bin Ku still speaks and smiles freely, and his mood is really clear.

“Listen to the donkey braying, don’t know who I am, the bald donkey is really cunning, but it’s a pity that you fell into my hands today, every day you cry, you don’t know how to cry, you can’t escape.”

Zhang Guolao was one of the Eight Immortals after all, but what he said sounded like a little scissors.

There was a wry smile on Monk Binku’s face: “I’m not a girl, so naturally I wouldn’t run away in a hurry, but I just wonder why Master Zhang Xian cares so much about me, an ordinary monk in the mortal world.”

After Zhang Guolao said coldly: “You really don’t know”, he let out a very cold laugh.

Following this smile, a powerful celestial force burst out from Zhang Guolao’s body, and suddenly pressed on the body of Binku monk, a little bit of celestial force poured into his body, shocking the monk’s facial features Twist and start to bleed out.

BinKu didn’t wipe the blood on his face, and he didn’t fight back. He just sat cross-legged on the ground and said with a smile, “There must be an explanation for the punishment of the immortal master.” , When did I offend the immortals in the heavens.

There are many enemies in the heavens in this provincial city, but no matter what, it shouldn’t be his turn, an honest monk, Zhang Guolao’s incomparably gloomy voice rang out.

“You are friends with Meiling Masheng, but you keep telling Yi Tianxing to go to Meiling to kill him, causing him to lose all his Buddhist surnames and die in a daze. I have cultivated immortality for thousands of years, and I have seen countless shameless people, but like It’s the first time I’ve seen such an upright monk who betrays friends like you.”

Zhang Guolao said indifferently.

“Die, go and accompany that child.”

Zhang Guolao waved his hand, and a chilly immortal breath enveloped Bin Ku’s body.

There is resentment, sadness, and many emotions hidden in the immortal breath.

He wanted to kill Bin Ku, this shameless bald donkey.
