Chapter 6 Chapter 58 The Abbot and the Younger Brother
At the gate of the compound of Lushan Temple, an old man with a white beard wearing an ordinary monk's robe stood at the gate of the courtyard with a kind face at this time. :3w. And beside the gate stood dozens of disciples in the monastery.
"Abbot, do you really want to leave the monastery?" A middle-aged monk over forty years old at the head asked with a melancholy expression.
"The doom of my life and death is imminent, and each of you is different. If I stay in the monastery, I am afraid that it will affect everyone, and if there are disciples in the monastery who are born in vain because of the old man's affairs, my firm heart will also be shaken. The abbot's tone was resolute.
"We will defend the monastery to the death, and ask the abbot to come back and lead us after the disaster."
"Very good, very good."
The white-bearded old man touched his long beard and walked leisurely down the mountain, but on the way down the mountain, Yuelu Mountain, which originally belonged to the key protected scenic spot, was actually covered with some slogans of rebellion and riots on white paper on many road signs and garbage cans.
When the old man walked down the foot of Yuelu Mountain, a group of hot-blooded young men with white bandages on their heads were shouting loudly around the car with government license plates, and had already smashed the headlights of the locomotive, and a Sven man sitting in the driver's seat was obviously stupid by this scene.
Seeing a young man with a hammer about to smash into the front windshield, everyone present recalled a quiet and peaceful sound in their ears, and the rioting youth, whose face was gradually calming, began to slowly disperse from the area around the government vehicle.
"Thank you, Master." The owner, who was confused, immediately understood the reason for the incident when he saw the abbot walking this way.
"The world is in turmoil, and the hearts of the people cannot be guarded. It's inevitable. Take me to No. 37 Binshui Road, and by the way, tell me about the current situation in Changsha. ”
"Master, please get in the car......"
Government vehicles drive through the city, and the streets that are supposed to be bustling with activity on weekdays are now open for business, while the rest are closed and plastered with banners protesting against the incompetent government. Under the detailed explanation of the government official in front of him, the abbot also understood the current situation.
"Master, 37 Waterfront Road has arrived. I wonder if the master can help resolve the incident in Changsha? The officer asked before the abbot got out of the car.
"I'm just a small stream in this big event, and whether or not they can converge into a river and return to a calm sea is not something I can do alone."
"Thank you, Master, for your advice." The young official heard the meaning of the abbot's words, and his heart also ignited the belief that he must return the peace of his city.
The waterfront is not in the city center, but in a loosely populated border town.
"It's been 42 years since I came back here. It doesn't seem to have changed as much as expected. I don't know if my old friend is still here. ”
The abbot's full name used to be, Ye Shengran. It was not that he became a monk and merged into Lushan Temple since he was a child, but because of some accident. However, before the abbot was ordained. There's a good friend who can be used as a 'friend of life and death' who is settling here.
The abbot has not been here for many years. But the scenes in my mind are vivid. After walking down a street. Immediately turned into the alley, walked about a hundred and fifty meters in the somewhat damp alleyway, and stopped in front of a yellowed wooden door.
"Knock knock!" Ye Shengran seemed to fall into the memories of the past when he knocked on the wooden door.
"Crunch!" After the old wooden door was opened from the inside, one with reading glasses. The old man in the cloth shirt poked his head out.
"It's closed for a few days and you're not doing business, so you'd better go to another house and ask, how did you find my back door?" The old man apparently hadn't seen the people outside clearly, and began to talk nonchalantly.
"Old Lu, I haven't seen you for more than forty years. You're still the same. ”
The old man inside the door immediately refreshed himself when he heard this voice, "Ye ...... Raw! Although I haven't seen it for more than 40 years, these three words have always been imprinted in the hearts of the old man and will not be forgotten.
"You...... Forget it, let's sit down first. After the old man led Ye Shengran into his room, the space was less than 20 square meters, and the layout was simple, just a lamp, an old bed and a TV that could be used as an antique.
"Sit down, I'll make you a pot of tea."
When the old man brought the tea, Ye Shengran asked, "Old Lu, I see that your living conditions are quite difficult. Why don't you open a store these days? ”
"Who said I don't open a store, but I received a big deal early this morning. The other party was a young man, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me to make him 10,000 sheets of open yellow sheet paper, and directly paid me 3,000 yuan. So just be busy with this thing these days, and it doesn't matter if you do business or not. ”
"10,000 sheets of open yellow sheet paper? Do you know the purpose of the other party? Ye Shengran asked suspiciously.
"How do I know, anyway, the other party will come back to me tomorrow to pick up the goods, and I will be busy today. I haven't seen you for more than 40 years, I didn't expect you to come today, and the past is over. Hongqing She died of cardiovascular blockage three years ago, I want to come to you for another purpose, Hongqing His tablet was placed in the back room by me. I have incense paper under my bed, so feel free to take it if you need it. ”
…………
"Master, there is no suspicious situation from Qingquan Road to Puhua Road and along the river."
Shortly after eleven o'clock in the clock, Zhang Chen and Xiao Nie converged on top of a high-rise building, and the two took the hotel where USO-003 had stayed before as the center of the circle, and conducted a carpet search for a three-kilometer radius of the other party, but they could not find even a clue.
"Hey, the other party seems to be extremely cautious. According to Faber's plan, the target should hunt ghosts in the near future to recover from injuries sustained on his body, and his whereabouts will be extremely hidden until his body recovers to its peak. Only waiting for the rabbit to capture it is more likely, it will be close to noon soon, we will go back to pick up Yizhi and them for dinner, and on the way you can tell me about the situation of a few supernatural places. ”
"Good master."
"I don't know how the two girls get along?"
However, when Zhang Chen returned to Wang Yizhi's room on the top floor of the hotel, the scene when the door was opened turned out to be two girls leaning together, very happily pointing at the soap opera on the TV, which was completely unexpected by Zhang Chen.
"That...... Are you two okay? Zhang Chen didn't know how to ask about the current situation.
"Hehe, of course it's good, Senior Sister Xiang Yun turned out to be a good person." Wang Yizhi said and hugged Xiang Yun tightly with both hands, and rubbed her little face on Xiang Yun's cheeks.
"Uh...... Let's go down to eat, Worm Firefly is in a group with that uncle, I'm afraid she won't come back at noon. The four of us go down and have a bite to eat, shall we? Although this kind of scene is what Zhang Chen wants to see the most, he always feels that something is wrong.
"No, no, no, how can you eat as much as you want. Senior Sister Xiang Yun is a guest, Zhang Chen, you have to invite others to a big meal. ”
"No problem...... Zhang Chen nodded, wondering what had happened in the short four hours of the morning.
However, when the four of them came to the street, Zhang Chen saw a group of hip-hop youths wearing peaked caps, holding a large stack of white paper and glue in their hands, pasting something similar to a notice on the street's electric poles and pavement iron doors.
A young man with dyed yellow hair, stepping on roller skates, looked at Zhang Chen and the four like straws, and posted a notice on a pillar next to the four.
"The end times are coming ahead of schedule, and the heavens will punish the people of the world who are in high positions of power and do wrong. If you don't realize it at this moment, you will definitely accept the punishment of natural disasters along with the human race. Hurry up and join the Wanlun Sect, as long as you join the church wholeheartedly, the sect leader will wash away our original sins as human beings and let us live forever in the world. ”
Obviously, as long as you have the intellectual culture and the ability to analyze yourself, you will know that this church called the 'Wanlun Sect' must be a cult organization, and it will take the opportunity of the turmoil to strengthen itself.
"Shhh Zhang Chen didn't take it seriously, who knew that Xiang Yun on the side directly tore off the white paper that had just been pasted on the iron pillar arrogantly, pinched it into a ball and threw it into the trash can on the side, and the appearance of the female man was exposed.
But this scene was naturally seen by the blonde hip-hop man, and immediately after, more than ten young people wearing skateboarding shoes surrounded Zhang Chen and the four of them.
"How? Want to fight? Who knew that more than a dozen people on the other side hadn't spoken yet, and Xiang Yun had even provoked first.
More than a dozen young people took out the half-meter-long steel pipe prepared earlier from their waists, and Xiang Yun began to be a little scared when he saw it.
"Who tore it?"
"Are you blind? Didn't you see me tearing it just now, but you are still asking knowingly here. Xiang Yun was also unexpectedly inferior in momentum at this moment, which made Zhang Chen on the side smile bitterly.
The golden-haired man was enraged by Xiang Yun, picked up the steel pipe in his hand and swung it vigorously towards Xiang Yun's head.
Zhang Chen thought that this half-irrigated little Taoist priest had some powerful tricks. Who knew that when the iron pipe fell, Xiang Yun could only close his eyes and wait for the judgment of fate.
"Smack! Click......" A series of sounds sounded, waiting for Xiang Yun to open his eyes. On some silent streets, there were young people who were still menacing before, and one or two young people on roller skates fled almost frantically, looking at Zhang Chen and his party, their eyes full of unbelievable fear.
"Eat! Xiao Ni and I have practiced, and a few young people still don't have a big problem. There is also Senior Sister Xiang Yun, now that Changsha is in an extraordinary period, some things cannot be tolerated, but you must also consider whether you should be nosy according to your own ability. If there were 100 people here today, I'm afraid things wouldn't have been so easy to solve. Zhang Chen took this opportunity to educate Xiang Yun well.
"Okay, I know. But ......" Xiang Yun's stubborn character still wanted to justify, but he still didn't say the words after looking at Zhang Chen's unusually strict gaze.
"When Xiao Ni and I first came over, we saw a nice shabu-shabu mutton restaurant, just a few blocks in front of us."
Zhang Chen smiled slightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked forward, as if nothing had happened before. And Xiang Yun looked at the unconscious young man on the ground, and always felt that his junior brother was a little strange...... (To be continued......)
