CHAPTER XXIV
"Demon ......."
Akiba Bai looked at his faint and confused eyes, and almost at that moment, the sense of similarity, familiarity, and trembling almost made her uncontrollable and almost slammed the tea cup in her hand.
But Yuan Ze paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that night of obsession, her eyes flashed with gloom, and she suddenly chuckled: "Yes, the heart demon, the heart demon, it was my own stupidity that gave people the opportunity to take advantage of it, pinched my heart demon, and played with me between applause, but I thought I was the savior, but it turned out that I was just clever." â
Yuan Ze was startled, he opened his mouth a little worriedly, but he didn't know what he was going to say, he just felt that maybe he would be wrong to say anything.
There was an oppressive silence between the two.
It wasn't until Qiu Yebai picked up the bowl in his hand again, slowly sent those cold porridge into his mouth one by one, and said slowly: "Yuan Ze, you don't have to think about it, I said that day that I know what I am doing, it is I who has ruined the practice of your national teacher and living Buddha, it is my inner demon, it has nothing to do with you, the Buddha will forgive his disciples, as long as you are pious enough." â
She paused, and then said: "Of course, I believe that you are pious enough, wine and meat have penetrated the intestines, and it is not the first time that you have left something in the heart of the Buddha, and it is naturally not a big deal to break the vows again." â
Although Qiu Yebai's tone was light, it was just the ridicule and alienation in it, which made Yuan Ze's heart suddenly twitch inexplicably, and he felt a faint pain.
He is not good at words because he has always been extremely sensitive to people's kindness and malice since he was a child, and there are too many such people around him, so he has always been unwilling to deal with the ugly thoughts under those hypocritical faces, and would rather recite Buddha and sutras alone, with wood and stone as his companion.
And she has always been soft to him, but he is different from ordinary people, and now, this difference seems to be about to disappear from now on, and in just three days, it seems that they have drawn a deep chasm between each other, and they cannot get through.
Yuan Ze couldn't help but unconsciously say the name that was called out during the intimate time of that night: "Bai ......." â
Yuan Ze's original voice was extremely pleasant and warm, so gloomy and sad, like the cool wind of autumn sweeping through the soft place of people's hearts, Qiu Ye Bai was stunned, and said lightly: "You still call me Xiaobai donor, the matter of that night, Yuan Ze, and forget it." â
Yuan Ze listened to her call her by her full name, and refused to call herself 'Aze' again, only feeling an inexplicable anxiety in his heart, this kind of anxiety was a love he had never experienced, the kind of love that if he didn't say something, the convenience would disappear from now on, but the confusion and frustration of opening his mouth and not knowing how to keep it made him only subconsciously pull her sleeve.
"Little white donor......."
Qiu Yebai watched him pull his sleeve, frowned slightly, and changed the topic: "I want to know, do you know what Baili Chu is doing?" â
This question has been lingering in her mind for a long time, and it makes her toss and turn.
Yuan Ze saw that she didn't let go of herself, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, listened to her ask, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head helplessly: "Ah Chu has a stronger temperament, he thinks that the poor monk is useless, if he can't be the master anymore, he is only afraid that there will be no place to die." â
"That's what he said." Autumn leaves said lightly, such a tone is the beginning of a hundred miles when you hear it,
"Well, the poor monk doesn't know exactly when Ah Chu saved ZĂ i, and he is still ...... Shingon Palace." He paused, his expression was a little distant: "It was about the time when the Shingon Palace gave incense, at that time the poor monk was still young, and every time the poor monk woke up from a dream, he would find himself in a strange place, the hour seemed to pass very quickly, and he didn't know why his body was always full of blood, and after a long time, I knew that Ah Chu didn't know when it had appeared, but Ah Chu seemed to know that the poor monk had been in existence for a long time. â
Qiu Yebai's heart was slightly relieved, if Yuan Ze knew exactly what Baili Chu was doing, he would really be the most stupid person in the world who thought he was smart, but was actually the most ridiculous.
But...... I don't know why, she always feels that something is wrong, although Yuan Ze is wooden, but he is still quite vigilant in some aspects, and she also noticed that he seems to have an instinctive perception of the good and evil of people's hearts.
So why was he willing to follow her when she approached him with other purposes?
"In other words, you have no idea what he did when he occupied his body at the beginning of Baili?" Akiba Bai said lightly, she wanted to know if Yuan Ze was really the same as before, the way she saw it.
Yuan Ze shook his head, looked into her eyes, and said softly: "No, although the poor monk is ignorant, he is not completely ignorant of what he has done, at least the poor monk knows that you are the person that Ah Chu cares about, and he knows that he has never cared so much about the person, so that he needs me to get close to you in order to avoid you being too defensive of him." â
Yuan Ze seemed to be caught in his own thoughts, and looked at Qiu Yebai with some confusion: "The poor monk doesn't even know why he cares about you so much, that feeling, he just knows that Ah Chu feels very warm...... It's very warm, just holding you, it will feel so comfortable, so that the poor monk can feel that pleasure and warmth. â
Akiba Bai was stunned for a while when he heard this--warm?
She looked at his delicate and peerless face, as if she could see another unpredictable cold and strong soul through the pure beauty of the silver-gray eyes.
A hint of complexity flashed in Akiba's white eyes, and she seemed to have heard him mention it when she was fighting him.
Warm?
I'm afraid he likes to drink warm blood?
She couldn't help but snort lightly, then suddenly coughed a few times and turned her face away.
Yuan Ze was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, when he realized what he had done, he unconsciously reached out to touch Akiba Bai's sideburns.
He felt the delicate and silky touch under his fingertips, the familiar and unfamiliar feeling that immediately reminded him of that beautiful night, her soft waist, delicate skin, slender legs, and ...... That special and charming soft fragrance.
He froze instantly, quickly withdrew his hand, grabbed the rosary on his wrist, and turned crimson: "...... Sorry...... Poor monk ....... â
The moment Akiba Bai touched his cheek with his cool fingertips, he remembered the absurdity and confusion of that night, and when crimson lust burned between his pure eyebrows and eyes, he was stunningly beautiful, as if dyed all over the world with spring colors.
She lowered her eyes, turned her head to pick up the teacup on the side, and drank the cold water from the cup.
Yuan Ze suddenly hesitated: "The poor monk has something to ask, I don't know if the little white benefactor can answer for the poor monk." â
Qiu Ye Bai saw that he looked a little strange, so he said lightly: "If I can answer, I will naturally answer for you." â
Yuan Ze nodded, hesitated for a long time, and gently groped with his fingertips for a while with the small cup depicting Bizhu in his hand, before he said, "Little white donor...... You...... Are you really your daughter's family? â
The cup in Akibabai's hand fell on the table with a 'clang', and she looked at him expressionlessly for a long time.
"Are you going to humiliate me?"
When Yuan Ze heard this, he immediately shook his head and said hurriedly: "No, it's not, it's just ...... It's just that the poor monk was delirious that day...... In his eyes, he only had the appearance of a little white benefactor, so he ....... â
"So, you don't know if I'm a daughter?" Akiba Bai sneered: "Don't tell me, you really don't even know about this?" â
Although looking at Yuan Ze's expression, she didn't dare to inform, this dumb monk seemed to really not understand the fact that Baili had already known.
This split is too complete, what Bailichu knows, he may not know, what he knows, Bailichu is clear, she almost thinks that Bailichu is the real Yuanze.
"No, although the poor monk was in a daze that day, he knew that the little white benefactor was your daughter, but afterwards I always felt a little suspicious that I was dreaming, and I ...... it all the time." Yuan Ze blushed and whispered, his voice getting lower and lower.
Akiba Bai didn't know what to say, no wonder he didn't look surprised at all when he saw her body that day, and afterwards she suspected countless times that he already knew something.
It turned out that it was just an afterthought!
Autumn leaves took a sip of tea from a cup, looking at him a little helpless, completely devoid of the usual casual peace, a strange and subtle feeling surged in her heart.
Although there was a trace of uncertainty in Yuan Ze's silver-gray eyes, he was so open-minded.
Akiba raised his eyebrows mockingly: "So, you help him get close to me?" â
Yuan Ze nodded: "Yes, the poor monk is also very curious, what kind of person can make Ah Chu care so much." â
Akiba Bai looked at him and sneered: "You are sincere." â
Yuan Ze looked at her, his eyes were warm and indifferent: "The poor monk said that he didn't speak, not to mention that person is you, the little white donor." â
Qiu Yebai looked at him, and the heart lake, which had been quiet for three days and had calmed down slightly, seemed to suddenly ripple again.
She lowered her eyes and said lightly, "So now, who do you think I am?" â
Yuan Ze looked at her, stunned, and then said, "The little white donor is ......." â
He hesitated for a moment, but didn't seem to know how to express it, and after a moment, he spoke seriously: "It's the one I want to cherish." â
This time, Yuan Ze used me, not the poor monk.
Outside the window, a cool breeze of late autumn suddenly blew his long white hair, and in the sun, his eyes were pure, gentle and pious, as if she in his eyes was the Buddha he cultivated.
Qiu Yebai looked at him, with mixed feelings in his heart, but suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "Oh, yes, if Baili Chu wants to suck my blood dry or kill me one day, what are you going to do?" â
Yuan Ze replied almost without thinking: "Impossible." â
Qiu Yebai sneered: "Heh, you can't suppress Baili Chu at all, and you are not him, why do you say that it is impossible." â
After Yuan Ze's words, she understood
Yuan Ze was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Little white donor, the poor monk knows that you have a grudge in your heart, but although the poor monk can't control Zhan Achu, the poor monk can sense his mood." â
Qiu Yebai closed her eyes, Yuan Ze kept mentioning Baili Chu, these three words made her inexplicably rise an irrepressible sense of irritability in her heart, she suddenly got up and interrupted him with a flick of her sleeves: "Enough, Yuan Ze, you don't have to defend anymore, if you still treat me as a friend, you only need to do one thing." â
Yuan Ze paused, and then nodded: "Little white donor, you just say it." â
Qiu Yebai turned his head, looked at him, and said coldly: "Let Baili Chu stay away from me, I don't want to see him again, if you really 'cherish' me, as for you and me, you can just nod your head and disturb your Qing Xiu, all because I can't live with you, but since Yuan Ze is already a monk, it is better to really break off this mortal fetters as soon as possible, and cross the people by yourself." â
Now that the matter has come to this, whether it is Baili Chu or Yuan Ze, she doesn't want to have any more entanglements with them, the best thing is not to see, not to see each other, no worries, no obstacles, Fang is to break this absurd and calculating fate.
Hearing this, Yuan Ze's face turned slightly pale, seeing Qiu Yebai's back to him, his back was cold and distant, a trace of sadness flashed in his silver eyes, and then he slowly got up and walked out of the door with the food box.
Before going out, he paused, folded his hands again, lowered his eyes and said softly: "Amitabha, Xiaobai donor, the poor monk doesn't ask you to forgive me for the poor monk and Ah Chu, the poor monk is willing to bear a responsibility for Ah Chu, but the poor monk wants to survive in this palace, it is never easy, Ah Chu is the one who can help the little white benefactor." â
