Chapter 3 Afternoon Tea

Kyoto is in the north of this ancient country, within the scope of the Apocalypse State, but Kyoto is the capital of the entire country, so it is not under the jurisdiction of the Apocalypse State, because the head offices of the Yanqi Federation are here, of course, this is not the most important.

The most important place in Kyoto is the big lake located in the center of Kyoto, the name of the big lake is Apocalypse Lake, there are islands in the lake, there are mountains on the island, there is a temple on the mountain, and the name of the temple is Apocalypse. Compared to the Temple of the Apocalypse, the Federal Head of State is less conspicuous. After all, the capital of the Federation is only the capital of the Yanqi Federation, and the Temple of the Apocalypse is the Hall of the Apocalypse of this world. Legend has it that there is an apocalypse bell in the Temple of the Apocalypse, and when the bell is remembered, the gods will descend on earth and the gospel will be spread again in the world.

Of course, in addition to the Apocalypse Hall, this beamless temple on the outskirts of Kyoto is also quite famous, and it can even be said that it is famous in the United States. The incense is prosperous, and the tourists are weaving, and there are many foreigners who will also come here to join in the fun. Regardless of cold or summer, Wuliang Temple is always full of people coming and going, and the river is endless. But today is indeed an exception, because a heavy rain that began in the early hours of this morning has not yet stopped, so it is surprisingly deserted in front of Wuliang Temple, and few tourists can hardly be seen. Yes, who would come out in such weather, it is said that due to heavy rain, many flights leaving the port were canceled this morning. But in such a bad weather, an elongated limited edition Lincoln drove far away and quietly stopped in front of this ancient temple.

When the door opened, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the car, surrounded by a group of black sunglasses. The man looked at the sky overhead, the clouds had begun to disperse, and the sun was showing his head. The man sighed, and then the dark cloud in his eyes was blocked by a large umbrella. Surrounded by black sunglasses, the man in the suit walked up the steps in front of the ancient temple with a big belly. On the steps, a group of monks were waiting respectfully.

"Elder Liu, the abbot is already waiting for you in the inner hall. "It was a young monk who spoke, with a beautiful face, but no lack of heroism.

The man in the suit did not look old, but he did not show unhappiness because of the sentence "Liu Lao", bowed slightly, and walked towards the depths of Wuliang Temple with the young monk.

Bypassing the solemn Daxiong Treasure Hall, passing through the Dharma Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the group came to the inner hall of the Wuliang Temple. The young monk bowed down and said, "Elder Liu, please." He flashed aside. The man in the suit nodded slightly, and walked into the inner sanctum.

The inside of the hall is not magnificent, but it is exceptionally clean. A statue of the Buddha sits cross-legged in the middle, with his hands folded and his face kind, and the back of his head is always shining with a faint golden light. There is an old monk in front of the Buddha, with white eyebrows and sideburns, and his face is serene, he must be a monk who has attained the Tao, and there is a bit of Buddha's brilliance between his eyebrows. In front of the old monk is a tea case, and on the tea case is a tea set, which has been moistened, and the boiling water on the side has made a slight sound. When the guest arrived, the water boiled, as if he knew that a guest was coming.

The man in the suit sat down at the other end of the tea table, but he didn't say anything to the old monk, and the old monk was quite unimpressed, and Shi Shiran picked up the teapot. Clear tea into the cup, full of tea fragrance. The man in the suit picked up the tea and drank it...

"Sure enough, it's the best West Lake Longjing," the man in the suit finally spoke.

"Lao Liu still can't bear it..."The old monk shook his head and smiled. The man in the suit replied with a wry smile....

.........

"What do you think about the matter over there?" the man in the suit was silent for a while before he spoke.

"What time is it?" the old monk poured himself a cup and tasted it slowly.

"It should be around two o'clock in the afternoon"

There was another silence....

"What did the bishop say?" the old monk poured another half cup for the man in the suit, and the wine was half full of tea.

He said, "That's it." The man in the suit replied, "He also said that he couldn't make it." ”

"Hehe, what he said is also good, you can't rush over so far. But is he sure that it is?" said the old monk with a smile.

"Yes. The man in the suit was very simple, "The mad Taoist priest had been standing there for nearly a year, waiting for him. He was the only one who spoke to the mad priest. And. The deacon of the Temple of the Apocalypse has a report, although the bell has not sounded, but there is a faint image of lightness."

"Good!" said the old monk with a sigh, "then it should be." ”

"Then it has to be done?" the man in the suit tried something.

"Isn't there any sign of Chen Xi awakening?" the old monk seemed to be looking forward to it.

"Nope. The man in the suit replied.

"Alas, poor as smoke.... The old monk sighed and said with a bitter face. "Is there really no other way?".

"You know. The man in the suit whispered. Then there was another long silence.

"What time was the first plane?" the old monk finally spoke, as if he had made up his mind.

"The torrential rain in the early hours of the morning has just stopped. The first flight to take off is at 10 o'clock. 12:10 p.m. It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to the lake from the airport. The man in the suit said.

"Just in time. However, there is no need to rush too much, and the trigger of the jumper is not something that can be done in a day or two. Let's go check the details of the young man. Be as informative as possible. If everything is correct, go for it. Amitabha Buddha "Old Monk United.........

------I'm a dividing line--------------

"Sir, can you pay the bill?" someone was calling Zhuang Zhilan. Shaking his head, Zhuang Zhilan woke up. It seems like I had a dream just now. In the dream, there is a lewd teacher who tells fortunes, and there are West Lake, willow trees, benches, couples, old people... Damn, this dream happened!

Zhuang Zilan took the card and asked the waiter to check out, and began to shake the Xun Huan beside him. After shaking several times and finding that it didn't work, he gave up his efforts. I turned around and said to the waiter who came back from checkout, "Please call a taxi for me"...

Zhuang Zhilan first unloaded Xun Huan to his door and handed it to his unhappy parents, and then got into the taxi again, and after throwing up in the taxi once, Zhuang Zhilan finally insisted on reaching his door. Opening the door, Zhuang Zhilan found that the TV was not turned off when he left in the morning. At this time, it was already evening, and it was the time of the weather forecast on TV, and the female anchor's voice was still so sweet: "Kyoto will have a sunny breeze of 2-3 degrees, 8-10 degrees tomorrow, a light rain and a clear breeze of 2-3 degrees in East Lake, 10-12 degrees, a rainstorm and a strong wind of 3-6 degrees and a strong wind of 3-6 degrees tomorrow, and a light rain and breeze of 3-4 degrees in Fengcheng tomorrow, 12-13 degrees ......"

As Zhuang Zhilan pressed the shutdown button, the female anchor's voice stopped abruptly. At the same time, Zhuang Zhilan also fell into the pillow and fell asleep. The alarm clock on the bedside table in front of the bed is pointing to 8 o'clock, and in the small box next to it is the date: Tuesday, September 17............

Then, a bell rang softly, and Zhuang Zhilan woke up! He was not on the bed at home! In front of him was a cup full of wine. Under the afternoon sun, Zhuang Zhilan walked out of the agarwood house, went downstairs, and walked along the lake towards the obscene old man...............
