Volume 1 Chapter 57 The Second Dream of the Biyi Cicada
In a daze, Ren Yi saw the biyi cicada again.
He sat in front of a desk with a lamp lit, surrounded by stacks of books and bamboo slips.
After a while, a small official carried another stack of things and put it on his desk: "Dao Chief, all the repair records you asked for about the Beiluo Gate are here." ”
And these ...... you mentioned Uh, private history, these are not easy to find, it took me a lot of effort. ”
"I'm tired." Biyi Cicada said lightly.
The man failed to please the new boss, his face changed, and he walked away.
The cicada dusted off the ash and grabbed a copy casually. Ren Yi didn't know the words on it, but the memories of the biyi cicada flowed into Ren Yi's mind without hindrance.
The book is about a group of strange monks.
During the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty dreamed of a god at night, with a golden body and daylight on his head. A learned courtier told him that he was a Western enlightened person with great magical powers, called "Buddha". In the second year, Emperor Ming sent ten people, including Dr. Cai Su and his disciple Qin Jing, to the Western Regions to seek Buddha.
Many years later, dozens of brown-haired, blue-eyed, high-nosed, deep-eyed, strange-looking monks suddenly came to Luoyang and brought a coffin.
They said that they were the monks invited by Lord Cai to preach, but unfortunately the journey was long and difficult, and Lord Cai and other ten envoys could not bear it, and unfortunately passed away on the way. The coffin contained the relics of Lord Cai.
Emperor Ming sighed in his heart, and arranged for the monks to live in Luoyang, build temples, preach and translate scriptures, and several years passed.
Until one day, Cai Su and others suddenly came back!
Not only that, but he also used a white horse to bring back forty-two volumes of Buddhist scriptures, as well as two eminent monks!
They weren't killed on the way at all!
Emperor Ming was shocked, who were the group of monks from the Western Regions before?
Seeing this, Ren Yi complained in his dream: "This book has nothing to do with repairing the city gate, it's just a miscellaneous conversation, the cicada in Biyi won't be fishing at work, right?" ”
Emperor Ming immediately sent troops to arrest him. The group of monks disappeared mysteriously, and no trace of them could be found in the entire Luoyang City.
But about their strange behavior, more and more reports were reported to Emperor Ming.
For example, they like to pray to the setting stars on a clear autumn night, and they say creepy words that no one understands......
For example, there are many people who claim to have seen a huge illusory palm in the sky......
"Northfall." Biyi Cicada closed the book and said thoughtfully.
Well? Ren Yi was surprised, didn't he touch the fish? Does it really matter?
Strange monk with brown hair...... The cicada is also green-eyed, which is very strange.
They can't be the ancestors of the cicada, right?
Then, Biyi Cicada did something that made Ren Yi creepy -
He lowered his throat and let out a strange muttering sound in a tone that Ren Yi didn't understand.
Ren Yi got goosebumps and woke up from the bed.
"Huh? Already home? ”
Looking at the familiar furnishings next to him, Ren Yi scratched his head.
This dream was different from the previous two times, and Ren Yi finally found some tricks. He lifted the bed, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and immediately grabbed a ballpoint pen from the table that could still write, frowned and thought.
"These dreams are connected. In the last dream, Biyi Cicada invited herself to build the Beiluo Gate of Chang'an City. ”
Ren Yi bit the tip of the pen and began to check the information: "The North Falling Star and the Shimen Star both refer to the same star, and after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the two titles were combined into one, which is the current main star of the constellation Nanyu." Biyi Cicada did say that Beiluomen is the symbol of that star. ”
"It seems that I blamed him last time, people didn't look for a job at all, but deliberately tried to get close to Beiluomen."
"But the question is, what is the purpose of his approach to Beiluomen?"
Ren Yi remembered the description of the strange behavior of those monks in the dream, "It feels like some kind of evil ritual...... The cicada doesn't want to imitate, right? ”
"Wait, autumn night, stars, unintelligible whispers......" Ren Yi frowned, he suddenly thought of the behavior of the "golden cicada".
Before entering Lingzhou City, according to Xu Tianwei's description, after killing the stronghold guards, he turned to face the night sky and said something that could not be repeated.
“…… Could it be that "Ren Yi's brain is running rapidly," the forces behind the sneak attack on Lingzhou are the descendants of this group of monks? ”
"Then why did they suddenly appear in Lingzhou?"
There was a clanging sound downstairs, and Ren Yi walked downstairs to see the scene of all the staff cleaning.
After a fierce battle last night, the inside and outside of the first floor were beaten to pieces. After returning from the city gate, everyone did not care about resting, and immediately began to clean up the mess in front of the door, cleaning out the broken shelves, coffee tables, furnishings, etc.
By this time, it was almost done, and most of the people involved in leaving the city had gone to rest, leaving only a few who didn't know what was going on, going in and out of the ground to take out the garbage.
"You kid is blessed with a great life, and the city is so dangerous these days! The lives of the whole city are dying! When the matter is settled, you come back slowly. ”
Several people who were sweeping the glass slag heard Ren Yi's footsteps and laughed.
"I heard you fainted as soon as you entered the city?"
There was laughter in the hall.
?? Ren Yi is full of question marks, who made this rumor?
"I heard that the brothers in the first church are working with the city patrol division! You didn't see that scene, it's a pity. ”
"Fortunately, he's not here, and he can't cry when he's there!"
The dart masters laughed.
Alas, I can't say what I suffered, Ren Yi shook his head.
Ding-dong, ding-dong......
Just when the hall was lively, a series of electronic doorbells suddenly rang at the entrance, and the dart masters looked up, and a beautiful woman in a white suit was standing outside the door, she was tall and beautiful, and her curves were moving, like a summer cloud.
"Wow!" The men with broom and mop in their hands had their eyes straightened.
Ren Yi looked back several times. It's not that he's hungry for other people's bodies, but he just feels a little familiar.
Alas, you can't blame me, the number of new women I've met lately is a bit high...... Ren Yi scratched his head.
"City Patrol Division." The beauty suddenly showed her ID.
“…… Oh. Everyone instantly became serious, their faces full of frustration.
Ay? Isn't this Xu Tianwei!
Ren Yi suddenly realized that she really couldn't recognize her without wearing a uniform!
Xu Tianwei looked around at everyone with her arms crossed, and said cleanly as if facing her own subordinates: "We are going to hire bodyguards for a certain important person for two days, with a salary of 20,000 yuan per day." Which of you is free? ”
Twenty, twenty thousand? The dart masters' eyes were straight again.
How difficult can it be to be a bodyguard? Just fill the scene!
20,000 a day, this is more fragrant than a beauty!
"Come on, come in and speak!"
Hearing her say this, the enthusiasm that had just waned surged again, and immediately threw down the broom in his hand, opened the door and welcomed people in.
"I have no money this month, let me come! What level are you, I've never had an accident with a gold medal dart master......" Sun Xiaohu from the second hall rushed and volunteered to pat his chest desperately.
"The city patrol division gives money, it's generous......" Ren Yi sighed as he walked down the stairs.
"Ren Yi?" Xu Tianwei raised her head when she heard the voice, and looked up the stairs with a pair of big hazy eyes.
"You don't care about him, he's not available."
Brother Biao and Sun Xiaohu moved their figures to block her line of sight from looking at Ren Yi, "For the sake of the safety of the key personnel, of course you should hire a reliable master, such as me." ”
"We old dart masters, but we regard credibility as our own life! Such a big signboard must not be smashed in your own hands! You can rest assured, as long as you take the task, you will definitely be satisfied! ”
"A young man like him must be inexperienced, what should he do if he encounters an accident on the road?"
"Unexpected ...... That makes sense," Xu Tianwei nodded, "Sitting...... No, everyone at the station is free, right? Then go for it all. ”
"Huh?"
The dart masters who swept the floor inside and outside the door were stunned and looked at each other, there were eight people in total.
Xu Tianwei raised her hand and looked at her watch: "The mission starts from now." At the end of the day, the commission will be credited to the account immediately. ”
This, this begins?
Everyone looked at the slender back of her white clothes for a few seconds, and Hula Hula rushed to the counter to take off the car keys hanging on the wall, and rushed to the backyard like a gust of wind.
As soon as they left, the hall fell silent. Ren Yi walked down the stairs, picked up the half-swept broken glass shards on the ground, and dumped them all into the trash.
Sister Li also came over from behind the counter to help clean up, and persuaded tactfully, "Do you want to go too, but after all, that is the task of the City Patrol Division, and it must not be easy to do." If people don't hire so many people for something, there will be no free lunch in the world. ”
Ren Yi had just come back from outside the city, and that tiredness had indeed not eased up.
Well...... It's okay not to go.
Ren Yi suddenly remembered that he had fainted after transforming the "Doom Treasure Letter" into a vegetative state yesterday, and he had no idea what happened next.
He remembered that the initial state of the thing was a jewelry box.
Where the hell is that thing hidden?
Since accommodating "Ghost Buddha" and "Ni Dress" one after another, Ren Yi suddenly felt that he had an extra problem picking up rags. That's not good.
But what if it can be recycled? Idle is idle anyway.
Ren Yi nodded, "It's okay, don't go out of the city." Recently, Sitang is still transporting coal? I haven't participated in group activities for a long time, and I feel alienated from everyone. ”
"If only you figured it out."
Sister Li smiled and nodded, "That's it, why do you have to go outside the city to work hard, Xiaoyi, you don't have fists and feet to defend yourself." The work of transporting coal is almost over, if you are idle these days, go and help keep an eye on the point. ”
"It just so happens that I haven't saved my salary yet, so I went to ...... by the way"
Ren Yi thought about it, ah, by the way, it seems that Bai Henglei said in the group before that he has a "channel", why don't you invest money in him and earn more interest? Wait for him to get off work today.
Sister Li suddenly said, "That's right." You don't have much experience, my sister has a lot of advice, if you meet that group of scoundrels, try not to have conflicts, don't suffer losses. ”
Bummer? Ren Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, it should be said that it was the organization that mastered the black market, casinos, lending, and selling stolen goods in Lingzhou, Jiye Hall.
Sister Li sighed, "Those scoundrels are entrenched in the dock all year round, and everyone who passes by has to get a piece of the pie." ”
"They are also a force in Lingzhou City, and they usually can't offend the two of us. Occasionally, it will come to us, and the number is not large, and it will pass with one eye and one eye closed, and it is too energy-consuming to deal with them, like a swarm of flies, and they will scatter in one dozen, and then secretly make you stumble. ”
"Don't worry, it's not that easy." Ren Yi nodded, took a truck key from the counter, and went out.
