Chapter 43: The Red Clothes and the Donkey
There is a small courtyard in the provincial city, which is a two-story building, ancient and fragrant, and there are some cold-resistant plants outside the courtyard of the courtyard.
This is the courtyard of Jixiangtian in the provincial capital in previous years, and Tai Zier used to live here when he was still the little son of Jixiangtian. It was also in this courtyard that Tai Zi'er once thought about killing Yi Tianxing, but later she used to waste her life yuan to help Yi Tianxing fight a battle with the elders of Qingjingtian.
Whether it's a friend or an enemy, it's all in the past.
The Tai family are very eccentric people, and their emotions are rarely reflected on their faces, even among family members. There was only one exception, the girl smiled sweetly all day long, pouted with a small mouth, and spoke pleasantly - it was Tai Qi'er, who had been the director of the provincial capital department for the past few years.
That cute little girl with a ponytail.
After being "Director Tai" for several years, Tai Qier occasionally untied the pigtails that swayed with walking at the back of her head, and followed those women to coil on top of her head, with a poached egg, which looked a little funny instead of mature beauty.
The staff of the provincial department liked this little girl very much, because Tai Qier rarely arranged the complicated work of the young monks, and more often held a round meeting in the "coffin building".
Since this incident, the whole country has been disbanded on the spot. There are strong masters to rely on, and the rest of the staff have also entered a latent state.
But it was impossible for Tai Qi'er to leave, after all, there were so many things to deal with in Pingrì, and it was impossible to leave it all behind. Although the provincial capital is safe here, you can't leave your post without permission.
So she left the building, led her staff into the provincial capital, and stopped in the small courtyard where her sister used to live. The provincial city was safe, so she wasn't worried that those heavenly immortals would come against her.
In the morning light, Qin Qi'er got up from the bed, stepped barefoot on the pure white sè velvet blanket, and stood on the stool to look at the scenery in the courtyard in a daze. She knew that her sister used to like to step barefoot on this blanket in a daze.
I wonder how my family is doing now?
The news from the Gobi in the Western Regions has not yet come back, and she doesn't want to go to the small bookstore to ask. After all, she just has a good relationship with Yi Tianxing. After Yi Tianxing left, she went to the small bookstore again. I always feel a little embarrassed about my identity...... In particular, Chen Shuping also came to the provincial capital and lived in a small bookstore, which has always made Taiqier extremely angry.
......
......
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Qi'er went to wash up so-so, wiped her face casually, took off a leather band from her wrist and put it on her black hair, and then jumped downstairs. The ponytail at the back of his head pulsed like a jīng spirit.
In the flower garden behind the small building, she looked at the wet soil under the golden thread, and somehow, her eyes slowly turned red.
"You, if you knew that things in this world had developed to this point, would you still do those things back then?" Tai Qi'er smiled reluctantly and watered the chrysanthemum, "Stupid senior brother, look back now." You really don't have to do those things, you know, what would you do if you were still around?"
The morning breeze blows through the flower beds. The golden thread chrysanthemum, which had just woken up, trembled slightly, as if it was answering her question. Taiqi'er smiled sweetly and said, "You know, you big slacker, you like to sleep now, and you don't want to care about anything." ”
Then, scratching her head, flattening her mouth, and as if she were a little angry, she turned away from the garden.
A few months ago, Yi Tianxing had traveled overseas, and somehow got into a relationship with the Pope at that time, and everyone drafted some agreements, and related negotiations have been going on in secret. Even in recent days, the tense atmosphere in the country has not stopped the pace of negotiations between the two sides.
The Vatican sent a secret mission, which was recently visiting the country, and one of its cardinals insisted on coming to the provincial capital, saying that the first place of the mission of a saint of the Holy See in the past was the provincial capital, so he wanted to pay his respects.
The state was very puzzled, and there was never such a statement in the relevant historical materials, but since the other party insisted, and the provincial capital was not an important military location, it agreed to the Vatican mission's request out of diplomatic and practical interests.
Qin Qi'er's job today is to welcome the Vatican Mission's trip to the provincial capital and carry out secret protection work.
The diplomatic department knew that there was something special about the provincial capital, but Tai Qi'er was clear, and when she thought of the request of those Western priests, she couldn't help frowning, and mentioned the god of 100,000 points.
......
......
Although it was a secret mission, it was a big deal after all, and the secret mission was accompanied by Director Ye of the Religious Affairs Bureau along the way. Therefore, there are few religious people in the provincial capital, and the reception crowd is very complicated, and the most eye-catching one is naturally the highest-status Master Bin Ku of Guiyuan Temple.
He is a director of the Buddhist Association and vice chairman of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The crowd stood cautiously on the edge of National Highway 304, where there is a toll booth, which happens to be the boundary between the provincial capital and the suburbs. This line was set by Master Bin Ku, and it was closer to the provincial capital than usual.
The people on the side knew why he insisted on welcoming the Vatican mission here, and if Yi Tianxing was still there, he would definitely see through the fear of death hidden under the robe of this merciful old monk.
The closer you are to the provincial capital, the closer you are to the old monkey, and the safer you will naturally feel.
Qin Qi'er looked at it coldly from the side, just thinking to herself, those Western priests didn't know if they would be a little unhappy after seeing these monks.
Not long after. A convoy of trains quietly drove over from the national highway, and the ghostly black sè body did not seem to have a trace of shine.
The small number of people present began to put on a peaceful smile on their faces. The reserved face is ready to greet this small delegation of the Holy See that has been shouting for many years from the country.
The vicinity of the toll booth has long been stopped, and the traffic in front and behind is blocked for several kilometers, so it is very quiet here.
Even the approaching motorcade made no sound.
Only under the toll booth, the donkeys in the farmhouses seem to be disobedient, circling the mill blindfolded, and neighing "Hungry, hungry, hungry......"
The hoarse cries of donkeys echoing through the village.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, not paying attention.
The convoy stopped, and the people on the zhèngfǔ side hurriedly met it, and Master Bin Ku and the religious figures of the provincial capital were still somewhat reservedly lagging behind. Deliberately kept a distance of a few meters from mortals.
The Vatican mission followed the customs of the locals and got off the bus calmly and with national characteristics. Shake hands calmly and talk warmly.
Director Ye introduced the personnel of this mission to the reception of the provincial capital, including a cardinal archbishop, several cardinals, and a large number of people who did chores.
The faces of the priests were covered with chūn winds, and it seemed that they had seen a lot of scenery and enjoyed a lot of blessings in the world.
Oddly enough. There was a cardinal who had been sitting in a sedan in the middle of the room and had not come down. Although the religious people in the provincial capital were surprised, they did not ask much out of politeness.
Master Bin Ku's silver eyebrows fluttered, and his eyes had already swept over the back seat of the car in the dark, and he found that the cardinal who seemed to be hiding in the dark had an extremely old face, and he didn't know how old he was.
Master Bin Ku knew that the members of the Vatican Cardinal's Conference, generally speaking, could not be more than eighty years old, but looked at the cardinal who was stuck in the car. I always felt that he was more than a hundred years old.
It's a weird feeling.
Bin walked forward in a deep voice, and then heard a donkey bark.
He felt something strange and subconsciously looked around. I found that no one around me heard anything, and his face was as usual, as if only he heard the terrible donkey bark. Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, his silver-white eyebrows fluttering in the breeze.
In the convoy, the dark old cardinal sitting in the back of the car also frowned at the same time.
......
......
A gust of breeze came, disturbing everyone's eyes, and then looked closely, but found that Master Bin Ku was no longer there!
Tai Qi'er's eyes suddenly appeared, and she immediately assigned her subordinates to investigate, but she couldn't find anything at all, and it seemed that at that moment, Master Bin Ku disappeared very coincidentally.
The old cardinal slowly got out of the car, walked to the side of the road, looked at the village below, his somewhat cloudy pupils narrowed slightly, and a jīng light burst out from it, and then he sighed.
The sigh was soft, but it suddenly reached far away.
......
......
Direction of Guiyuan Temple.
In the hut on the shore of the small lake in the back circle, the old ancestor was reading the newspaper, and suddenly heard this sigh, and shook his head, and his hairy arm stretched out from the old robe, stretched out to the back of his head and scratched it twice, as if he was very impatient.
The palm of the hand returned to the front, and a fine hair had been plucked.
The old ancestor opened his lips and blew, and the fine hair fluttered through the light green sè earth Vajra Demon Circle, escaped from the heavenly robe array, and flew towards a certain hill on the outskirts of the provincial capital.
The grass is yellow, the green mountains are light, and the golden wind and jade dew are easy to meet.
Enemies are easy to see each other.
In a secluded place in that valley, Bin sat cross-legged on the ground, covered in grass clippings and mud, his eyes closed, his palms clasped together, and he stopped chanting some of the most powerful sutras in the convenient method, adding countless mudras to himself.
A faint light shone through his body, through the cracks of his robe, and made this secluded valley holy.
A few meters in front of him, an old man leading a donkey was looking at him blankly.
"With a struggle, this is where you die. ”
The old man who led the donkey said indifferently and sentenced Bin Ku to death.
Bin Ku slowly opened his eyes, and when he was detained here by this master's enslavement technique, he knew that he was definitely his opponent.
To have such terrifying strength, it can only be someone from the heavenly realm.
Bin bowed his head bitterly: "Dare to ask this immortal family, what is the crime of the poor monk?" and then smiled and said: "Before I asked where the immortal cave house was, I was at a loss to ask the crime, and the poor monk was rude." ”
In this critical situation, Bin Ku still smiled freely, and his mood was really clear.
"Listening to the donkey's barking, you don't know who I am? The bald donkey is really cunning, but it's a pity that you fell into my hands today, and you can't escape from the heavens and the earth. ”
Zhang Guo is also one of the Eight Immortals, and when he says it, he looks like a little thief cutting the path.
......
......
A wry smile appeared on Monk Binku's face: "I'm not a girl's family, so naturally I won't run away in a hurry, but I wonder why Immortal Master Zhang cares so much about me, an ordinary monk in the mortal world." ”
Zhang Guolao said coldly: "You really don't know?" After this sentence, he let out an extremely cold laugh.
With this smile, a powerful immortal power burst out from Zhang Guolao's body, and suddenly pressed on the body of the monk Bin Ku, and the slightest immortal power poured into his body, and the shocking monk's facial features twisted and began to bleed out.
Bin Ku didn't wipe the blood on his face, nor did he fight back, he still sat honestly on the ground and said with a smile: "The immortal master punishes, there must be an explanation." Bin Ku was actually shocked in his heart, and he was extremely puzzled, and he couldn't understand when he had offended the immortals of the Heavenly Realm.
There are many enemies of the heavenly realm in this provincial city, but no matter how it turns, it shouldn't be your turn as an honest monk......
Zhang Guo's old yīn's voice rang out.
"You were friends with Meiling Masheng, but you stopped and asked Yi Tianxing to go to Meiling to kill him, causing him to lose all his Buddha and die in a daze...... I have cultivated immortals for thousands of years, and I have seen countless shameless people, but it is the first time I have seen such an upright monk like you. ”
Zhang Guolao said indifferently.
"Die, go and be with the child. ”
Zhang Guolao waved his hand, and a fairy breath mixed with chill enveloped Bin Ku's body.
The fairy breath hides resentment, sadness, and many emotions.
He wants to kill Bin Ku and kill this shameless bald donkey.
