Of course, Qiao Qingze was not stupid, of course he knew that He Chen took back the jade pendant because he didn't want him to enter the world that he shouldn't have entered, but he also knew that from the beginning, he couldn't escape.

His father has countless lovers, it's not that there are no women who tried to use their children to enter Qiao's family, but they all failed, but his mother gave birth to him, why? And that jade pendant, is it really a relic of his mother to protect his safety, or is it some kind of exchange or contract?

Qiao Qingze had an intuition that he had entered a trap. He can't expect anyone to protect him, only himself, so he must understand what is happening around him.

Rare to be confused? With his identity, there is only one way to die if he is confused! Forget it, these days are distracted, or don't think about these, He Chen is not happy to say at this time, sooner or later, one day, he will say it obediently.

In order not to meet with He Chen recently, Qiao Qingze deliberately chose to go out when it was just dark. Yaocheng is an ancient city that attracts a lot of tourists every year, but Qiao Qingze went out too early, just five o'clock, and there was no one on the street except for a few breakfast stalls preparing for breakfast.

The ancient city, which has always been lively, seems to be very quiet at this time, Qiao Qingze can be like a fish in water in the hustle and bustle, and he also enjoys the current tranquility.

"Young man, are you here to travel to Yaocheng? It's really early, and it's not many young people who wake up so early with you. ”

An elderly man who was kneading dough took the initiative to talk to Qiao Qingze, Qiao Qingze was stunned for a moment, and raised a smile, "Yes, come out to play, old man, do you have breakfast here now?" ”

"Yes, my wife, I'll get up at four o'clock to prepare, I'm getting older and feeling less, the first basket of steamed buns is just out of the cage, young man, do you want to taste it?"

"Okay."

Qiao Qingze sat down in the store, and he found that although the store was small. But the inside was very clean, and the old man quickly brought two steamed buns and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge out.

"It takes a lot of energy to come out and play, eat more, it's not enough." The old man greeted Qiao Qingze diligently, and brought Qiao Qingze a plate of side dishes, which was actually dried radish.

Qiao Qingze tasted one, it was very crispy, a little salty, a little spicy, and a little sweet. There is also this bowl of eight-treasure porridge, which is very thick and does not cut corners.

Qiao Qingze ate very comfortably this breakfast, he didn't sleep well last night, he was actually very tired, but after eating this breakfast, he felt warm and comfortable in his stomach, and his body seemed to be strong.

It was arguably the best breakfast he had ever had. After Qiao Qingze finished eating, the sky was bright, and many guests came one after another, Qiao Qingze got up and checked out and left.

"If you think it's delicious, come back again!" Maybe the old man just greeted him casually, but Qiao Qingze replied seriously, "Definitely." ”

It's not that this old man's craftsmanship is good, but Qiao Qingze felt a trace of fireworks and a sense of home in the steam.

It's not that Father Qiao treats him badly, on the contrary, Father Qiao treats him well. No matter how busy he is at work, he will definitely go home to eat with him, he will definitely go to school to hold a parent-teacher conference for him, every time he wins an award, Qiao's father is happier than anyone else, as long as he asks for it, no matter how difficult it is, Qiao's father will find it and give it to him.

When he was young, he once accidentally saw Qiao's father and a woman hugging each other into an apartment, and Qiao's father who came back that night had an obvious smell of perfume on his body, and he didn't say anything, but since then, Qiao's father came home and there was no more perfume smell on his body.

He was precocious, early governor, knew that their family was different from other people's families, and he never asked about his mother's affairs, but it didn't mean that he didn't envy the parents of other people's children.

He also longed for someone else's house where his mother was kind and his father was strict, and his father got off work one day, and when he came home from school, his mother had already prepared a meal.

Before he could say this to his father, he overheard his father's conversation with his assistant, and he never thought about it since.

I always thought that these things had been forgotten, but who knew that today I remembered because of a breakfast.

Walking aimlessly on the streets of the ancient city, Qiao Qingze had no interest in those antique buildings and shoddy handicrafts. But I heard two tourists talk about the Bailu Temple in the ancient city. Qiao Qingze, who didn't believe in these and didn't like to step into this kind of place, took out his mobile phone and checked the map and walked towards Bailu Temple.

Qiao Qingze didn't like the temple for a reason, he was only 16 years old at the time, and he accidentally learned that Ah Yu dreamed of a woman who didn't know her appearance every night, although he laughed at Ah Yu for a while, but he was still worried about Ah Yu, and he didn't know where to hearsay that Shaolin Temple was very spiritual, so he ran away with Ah Yu and Ah Zhan.

They were still in school at that time, so they could only pick the Qingming Festival holiday to run, but when they got there, the three of them regretted it.

The mountains are full of people, bustling. I can barely read the three words of Shaolin Temple clearly.

The amount of incense burned in the Ding in front of the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall was so large that the smoke almost enveloped the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall. Qiao Qingze tried to lean over and put on a stick of incense for Ah Yu, but who knows, before he could go up the steps, he was choked, and he was so embarrassed that he was sobbing and embarrassed.

Qiao Qingze didn't remember what the Buddha looked like inside, only the fireworks outside.

Later, they thought that they had come all the time, and they couldn't come in vain, so they wanted to go around inside. As a result, Qiao Qingze saw a huge pot, which was said to be in the Ming Dynasty or what period, and many people stepped forward to touch it.

Finally, on this trip to Shaolin Temple, Qiao Qingze remembered the smoky Daxiong Treasure Hall, the antique pot, and the cold wind and rain on the top of the mountain that day.

That experience was so bad that Qiao Qingze was reluctant to step into the temple for so many years, but he came in today.

Qiao Qingze was a little surprised, there was no crowd of people and all kinds of tourists taking pictures inside, it was quiet, only occasionally echoing one bell after another.

Qiao Qingze walked into the main hall, and the huge Buddha statue seemed to be so small for the people kneeling down.

It has not changed for thousands of years. Kind eyebrows and kind eyes, smiling flowers. Is it really useful to ask God and Buddha? Qiao Qingze looked at the spot for a while, shook his head and turned to leave with a smile.

Rubbing shoulders with someone when leaving, He Chen? Qiao Qingze was in a good mood now, and nodded at He Chen, He Chen smiled slightly and went in.

Qiao Qingze didn't know what he was thinking, he stood outside, watched He Chen kneel, and bowed three times in a very standard posture. People like He Chen also believe in Buddhism?

With such a question, Qiao Qingze came to the back, and there was a very ancient Bodhi tree behind the main hall of Bailu Temple, which was full of cloth strips of prayer for tourists.

Qiao Qingze stood under the tree, looking at the Bodhi tree, a little distracted.

"I didn't expect Mr. Qiao to be so interested and make a wish?" He Chen's voice appeared behind Qiao Qingze.

Qiao Qingze didn't look back, and asked with some puzzlement, "Is there really a god or Buddha in the world?" ”

"Maybe there is, maybe not, I've never seen one."

"Then why did you come to worship the Buddha? And why did those people come to make a wish? ”

"What I worship is my own peace of mind, and what those people ask for is just a sustenance. If a person has any dreams and wants to get something, he can only rely on himself and pray for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas, but it is better to work his own. ”

"I thought you were going to say that the golden body in the temple is your faith."

"What your heart sees, that is, what your eyes see, your heart sees that it is a Buddha statue, that is a Buddha statue, and your heart sees a flower, which is also a flower. Buddha statues are not my faith, my belief is Buddha nature. ”

"I have no faith."

"Life without faith is miserable, a busy life, but not knowing why."

"You say that people are rare and confused, and you say that people should know what they live for, isn't it contradictory?"

"Wisdom will hurt, and the day you know the whole truth, you will regret your curiosity."

"I'm just wondering, what does that jade pendant represent, exchange? Or is it a contract? What am I? And why me? ”

"It's not an exchange, it's not a contract, it's a promise that a people will keep even if they die by destiny. You are Qiao Qingze, and you are just Qiao Qingze, not anyone. I don't know why you're you. ”

Maybe the atmosphere at this moment is too good, maybe the environment at this moment is too special, Qiao Qingze never thought that He Chen, who was reluctant to say a word last night, can be regarded as frank today.

With the answer, Qiao Qingze didn't want to investigate whether the answer was true or not, because Qiao Qingze knew that this was already the limit, and if he continued to dig deeper, he might really be inseparable.

"Thank you."

Qiao Qingze got the answer, the smile on his face was extremely sincere, and He Chen also had a momentary sway, it turned out that the sincere smile of the person in front of him was actually very good-looking.

Looking at Qiao Qingze's back as he left satisfied, He Chen shook his head, and then looked at the main hall. Sure enough, he is always extremely kind in Bailu Temple, but I don't know if what he says today will become the bane of the future?

Mandate of Heaven? Maybe.

Qiao Qingze went back to the hotel, lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly, for the first time in so many days, he slept peacefully without the help of foreign objects, and it was really comfortable.

I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was already half past five, remembering that I had said yesterday that I would go to that breakfast restaurant to eat again, Qiao Qingze did not continue to sleep.

I changed my clothes and washed up and went out, and when I came to the breakfast shop, it was still the old man's house.

"Young man, here you are!" I don't know if it's Qiao Qingze's illusion, there seems to be something wrong with this old man compared to yesterday.

Qiao Qingze glanced at the people who were eating breakfast inside, and felt that it was his own delusion.

"Yes, here we are."

The old man brought Qiao Qingze two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes, just like yesterday, but as soon as the thing was entered, Qiao Qingze found that something was wrong, there was a faint bitter taste?

Qiao Qingze was strange, spit out the porridge in his mouth, and wanted to ask the reason, after all, he didn't have a grudge with anyone here, so it would be too stupid to say that someone used this method to harm him.

Who didn't know when he looked up and found that the people who were eating at the tables around him had disappeared, and the street facing the door of the store was also vague, and the two words that appeared in Qiao Qingze's mind were common in Xianxia novels, enchantment.

You can't carry it like that, right?
