Doctors at the Second People's Hospital in the provincial capital died of busy that night.

To paraphrase the words of the director on duty that night.

"I've seen a fight and broken bones, but I've never seen such a ...... More fights and broken bones!"

Green branch fractures, compression fractures, intercalation fractures, crushed fractures, oblique fractures, spiral fractures.

Ulnar fractures, carpal fractures, patella fractures, tarsal fractures, radius fractures, clavicle fractures.

The thick stack of test sheets surprised the doctors, and the good professional quality did not make them dumbfounded, although these various diagnostic results made the elderly photo equipment a little difficult to bear, but fortunately, the fractures of the injured were not very fatal. There was only one person, the bones of the entire right half of his body were basically broken, and he looked very miserable, and his mother couldn't recognize it.

That night, the whole hospital was filled with the sound of screaming.

Such a terrifying incident naturally caused a sensation in the entire provincial capital.

..................................................................................................................

Yi Tianxing didn't care about the sensation of the incident, although he had heard about it from Yuan Ye. Because he had absolute confidence, on the night of the accident at the provincial university, none of the injured people in the east of the city dared to say their names, and it was impossible for the people in the school to see their faces clearly.

It's just that the shooting incident at the provincial university is always boiling, and the disappearance of the Dongcheng boss Biaozi and the close contact between the Dongcheng gang and the orthopedic surgeon finally made the rivers and lakes of the provincial city understand the terrifying existence of the young master of the ancient family. Although there is no evidence to prove that Yi Tianxing committed it, the previous surveillance video of the Jǐng side and the transcript of the interrogation of the students have confirmed that Yi Tianxing is inseparable from this shocking case in the provincial capital at the end of the first four years.

After that night, Yuan Ye, who had always looked very loyal, finally took the young master's order and began to sweep into the village, and in the area of Jinyang Square and the botanical garden, the Gu family began to take over the business of the original Dongcheng - although this was definitely not Yi Tianxing's order. For a while, the people in the provincial capital couldn't help but have some feelings that everyone was in danger, and the forces that originally belonged to Dongcheng were also hidden, including the Xue Ye newly acquired by Biaozi.

The Gu family repainted the scenery, but Yi Tianxing fell into another trouble.

Jǐng needs evidence to handle cases, but the current evidence is not enough for Yi Tianxing to go to the bureau...... However, this evidence is enough to prove that Yi Tianxing was involved in the brawl, and this is enough to make the school angry.

So Yi Tianxing began to go back and forth to the various departments of the administrative building of the provincial university to be questioned again and again, waiting for the final results.

Winter has come, and the yīn days in the provincial capital are gradually increasing, and Yi Tianxing's mood is gradually sinking in this back-and-forth.

A conversation with an ancient fox in Gaoyang County could not explain the mystery of his heart, but he had long since adapted to living alone and thinking alone, so he was not in a hurry to ask anyone. On the contrary, the perseverance that he deliberately concealed with a grinning face from childhood to adulthood gradually revealed.

He touched the back of his head and smiled indifferently. This place was planted by the old ancestor master with a demon hair, and it was refined by the residual breath of the Zhenwu Emperor on Wudang Mountain, but somehow, since that time, his mood began to become indifferent, and behind this indifference was a little violent.

Just like at this time.

He sat on the benches in the administration building, somewhat indifferently waiting for the outcome in the conference room. The school is in the process of resuming the council, and according to the information that the counselor of the department secretly helped him find out, the twelve Tibetan students may have demerits because of the preferential treatment policy of the people, and the students who went to join in the fun will be punished by jǐng, only Yi Tianxing, who is estimated to be expelled.

Expulsion? Yi Tianxing thought a little unwillingly: "It seems that I really can't live an ordinary life." After all, living a normal life and marrying Lei Lei, who is "nervous and not like a normal person", as his wife, this is the ideal of the monster boy.

The interior of the building is painted with white paint, and the wall skirt is green underneath, which is not pleasing to the eye, but somewhat similar to the yīn sen of the hospital. He sat blankly on a bench and looked in the direction of the conference room at the other end of the building. Earlier, a man in a mountain suit went in, and he didn't know what he was doing.

At about eleven o'clock, the door of the conference room opened, and the people who were holding the meeting gradually dispersed, and the head of the department first sent the young man in a mountain suit who went in before out, and then turned back and walked in front of Yi Tianxing, looking at him with a smile on his face: "I fought for it, but the school did not agree, the school is the most taboo for students to associate with those scum in society." After a pause, he said, "Don't mind if I use the word dregs, right?"

Yi Tianxing thought about it for a while, and replied with a smile: "I don't mind." Although sometimes I am also a part of the scum, that doesn't change that the scum is the scum. ”

The head of the department sighed and said, "Stay on campus for a year." ”

Yi Tianxing thought he had misheard, and tilted his head slightly: "You mean staying in school?"

"Yes. ”

"Thank you. He stood up and bowed deeply to the head of the department.

The head of the department smiled: "Don't thank me, the person who wants to thank is outside, you can go." ”

Seeing the old man walking slowly away in the quiet corridor with his body half-bent, Yi Tianxing suddenly wanted to sigh about life at this time.

It's a pity that he didn't feel the time of his life at this time - life after coming to the provincial capital was really complicated and boring and tense, which made him less interested in grieving in Gaoyang County. If his life is a mystery, then let himself take his time to understand it, but in this process, he doesn't want to miss the happiness he wants, and in order to ensure his happiness, he must first keep his life, at least the trajectory of his life. A lot of it was because he had to spend his time hurting Chūn sad autumn to meet the man who had helped him.

The man in the mountain suit.

In four or five years, there will only be three types of people who will wear mountain clothes, one is people who have no money to buy other clothes, such as migrant workers, and the other is people who sneer at other clothes, such as a professor at Yi Tianxing's university, who swore to fight for the three mínzhǔ righteousness for life, and after four years, he vowed to wear mountain clothes for life. There is another type of person, that is, the officials of zhèngfǔ, such as this one who was watching Yi Tianxing at the door of the teaching building at this time.

The official was slightly bald, with an unmoving smile on his face.

"Hello, classmate Yi Tianxing, do you have time to say a few words to me?"

Yi Tianxing despised these people's clichés in his heart, and got into his car with a smile, which was a Shanghai-made Santana.

The driver was not in the car, Yi Tianxing looked at the declining zhèngfǔ official and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

"You're welcome, last time Uncle Gu asked me to take care of you on the phone, I recently had a meeting in běijīng, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen, and I wronged you. The bald official patted him on the shoulder, and it was a standard official action, "My surname is Tang, my name is Tang Yitong, you can call me Uncle Tang." ”

Yi Tianxing scratched his head with a smile, knowing who the person in front of him was, it turned out to be the nephew who worked in the Education Department mentioned by the old master last time.

"What position is Uncle Tang in the hall now?"

"Deputy Director, run errands. In the hall, I was going to běijīng for a meeting, and when I was trained by those masters, it was when I waited for others to go out. Tang Yitong laughed at himself, touching his bald hair just right to show his hard work.

The two chatted a few words without being salty, Yi Tianxing was not as good as this kind of officialdom, and said with a smile: "This time the matter is troublesome Uncle Tang, I don't know ......" Without saying anything, he waited for the other party to take it.

It came down quickly.

"The provincial university is a national key and directly under the Ministry of Education. It's useful for me to say hello for something as small as the last time I was absent from school, but your incident has a very bad impact on society. If I speak alone, I'm afraid it's useless. Tang Yitong said: "I came today, one is to intercede with the leaders of the school, and the other is to pick you up to meet someone and eat." ”

"Who?"

"The Pan Bureau of the Provincial City Jǐng Inspection Bureau. ”

The car drove the two into the Baotong Temple.

Baotong Temple is a big temple in the provincial capital, although it is not as famous as Guiyuan Temple, but it is still a Tallinn resort. This temple was built in the Liu Song period of the Southern Dynasty, and I don't know how many years older than the Guiyuan Temple that was only built during the Shunzhi period. The temple is located at the southern foot of the provincial capital Dongshan, sits in the north and faces south, the east side is a large lake with a clear heart, and the west side is connected to the famous Taoist temple of the provincial capital. The whole temple is built according to the mountain, hidden in the pine and green bamboo, and the solemn, simple and elegant atmosphere can not be hidden.

Yi Tianxing got out of the car and took a deep breath of the temple, I don't know if it was because of the Buddhism he practiced or because he had spent many days in the Guiyuan Temple, as soon as he entered the temple, he felt extremely comfortable. As soon as I looked up, I saw the mountain gate of the Zen temple, only to see the screen wall on both sides of the mountain gate towering, the cloth tile spread the ridge, there are four big characters on the lintel, the four words are round and through, quite powerful, Yi Tianxing subconsciously praised: "It's really a good word." ”

At this time, he didn't know, because these four words would bring him great opportunities in the future.

He was welcomed into the mountain gate by Shami, and several people walked along the release place, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Palace, all the way, and when they were about to reach the Dharma Realm Palace, Deputy Director Tang waved his hand and led him into a small courtyard next to him.

It was very quiet along the way, Yi Tianxing broke the silence and said with a smile: "The vegetarian building of Baotong Temple is famous, but the vegetarian building should be on the left side of the mountain gate, Uncle Tang took me into the temple to eat, not afraid of disturbing the Buddha's breath?" Tang Yitong smiled and said: "What is the vegetarian food outside, the real jīng Huaquan is in the temple, not a person of a certain status, but there is no way to eat." ”

The small courtyard is quite quiet, and there are three or two plum branches standing proudly in the corner of the courtyard wall.

There was a man standing next to the plum tree in the precincts to greet him.

"I'm tired of Director Pan. "Yi Tianxing is the second time that he has been helped by this provincial city jǐng cha boss, although I don't know what the other party wants today, Xie Zi still has to say.

After taking a seat, he began to come up with vegetarian dishes, and Director Pan was wearing a casual dress today, but he didn't mention anything about it at all, only on how the weather and the moon waxed and waned on these days. Yi Tianxing also understood the habit of speaking these characters, so he waited with a puff. After a few moves, Yi Tianxing finally ran out of patience and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't understand why the vegetarian food in the temple should be made to look like a vegetable." ”

He pointed to a plate of fried sausages and said: "I don't know what this plate of fried sausages is made of, but it looks like a pig intestine with fragrant meat in it.

Deputy Director Tang and Director Pan glanced at each other, not knowing what the young man was going to say. Tang Yitong smiled and said: "Doesn't the Buddhists say that all things are one? ”

Yi Tianxing shook his head and said, "All things are one, that's a Taoist thing." The appearance of skin and flesh is all false, it is a vegetarian dish, but it has to be made into a vegetable, which is really beautiful. ”

Director Pan's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be interested: "What about Yiyi's opinion?"

Yi Tianxing shrugged and said, "This is the same as what Lao Meng said. ”

"What do you say?" Tang Pan and the others made a deaf look.

"The great monks wanted to eat meat, but they didn't dare to eat it, so they made it look like meat and had a chat to relieve their hunger. Yi Tianxing pulled the green cabbage heart, picked one and put it in his mouth.

Director Pan pointed to the tree plum in the corner of the courtyard wall and smiled: "Is it Wangmei who is thirsty?"

Yi Tianxing shook his head with a smile: "It's very hypocritical." ”

Director Pan listened to his sarcastic words, first stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Sure enough, it's fast-talking, then I won't hide it anymore." ”

"Please. Yi Tianxing smiled.

"I wonder if classmate Yi and Master Bin Ku of Guiyuan Temple can get to know each other?" Director Pan looked into his eyes.

Yi Tianxing said: "Director Pan said that he laughed, last time you fished me out of the detention center, will you still know?"

"There is something I would like to ask classmate Yi to tell Master Bin Ku, so I will confirm it. Director Pan's voice was not high, and Tang Yitong moved chopsticks to eat vegetables, and didn't seem to be listening carefully.

Yi Tianxing was a little surprised, and said slowly: "Director Pan should know Master Bin Ku, what is inconvenient to say directly?"

Director Pan said with a wry smile: "He is also the vice chairman of the CPPCC, and he has been talking about this matter for two years, and he has never been able to get his old man's approval." ”

Yi Tianxing subconsciously thought that this matter must be very tricky, and said without thinking about it: "You can't help it, do I have a way?"

Seeing his evasion, Director Pan smiled slightly, didn't say this for the time being, and instead asked, "The acquaintance between classmate Yi and the old man of the Gu family is quite unexpected to me. ”

Yi Tianxing smiled and said, "Not only you? ”

This sentence came out of the air, making Director Pan and Deputy Director Tang a little confused. Yi Tianxing smiled again and said: "The two uncles are both big names in the official face, don't care about the kid, I talk nonsense." ”

Director Pan pondered for a moment and said, "Classmate Yi, or do I call you Young Master Yi?" Although he said so, there was a hint of banter in his eyes.

Yi Tianxing almost squirted out a mouthful of vegetarian vegetables, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, it's better to be a classmate." ”

"A lot of things have happened in the provincial capital recently, do you know?" Director Pan didn't look at Yi Tianxing and poured himself a glass of vegetarian wine.

"What's the matter?" Yi Tianxing began to pretend to be confused.

Director Pan shook his head with a smile, turned to Tang Yitong and said, "Tang Hall, you don't know the energy of your nephew in the provincial capital. Indifferent: "You have been in peace in the provincial capital for a few months, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, although there were no dead people that night, but the impact was extremely bad, I hate this matter very much." ”

Yi Tianxing thought to himself: "Who wants to do it? He frowned and said with a bitter face: "Director Pan, I am a law-abiding citizen. ”

"I know. Director Pan stared into his eyes: "I am a zhèngfǔ official, maybe there are some things that I am inconvenient to come forward and need to take some other paths." But on some big things, I'm standing firm. Everyone in the provincial capital knows that there may be corrupt officials, but it is absolutely impossible to have the surname Pan. If I hadn't known that you had been restraining Yuan Ye's gang since you came to the provincial capital, I wouldn't have ventured to see you today. ”

"There is a company called Pengfei Industry and Trade, which has been moving more frequently recently. And there was a person in the East Side, but now he doesn't know where he has gone. Can you show me the way?"

Yi Tianxing thought for a while, raised his head and said with a smile, "Does Director Pan need that person?"

Director Pan said: "It's not enough to be a man, if I want him, I can get him at any time." After a pause, he said, "I mean before he disappeared." ”

Yi Tianxing understood what he meant, a dignified provincial city inspector, it is not difficult to catch a provincial city Jianghu figure, but now that things are making a big fuss, there must be some decent evidence to close this field, since this person does not seem to have the interest in dealing with the Gu family at the moment, it is naturally the east of the city that is unlucky. And these days, Yuan Ye is holding the life of Chengdong Biaozi, and he is sweeping the business in Chengdong on the provincial road, and he will definitely gain something. He thought for a while and said: "Pengfei Industry and Trade's deal should be over soon, what kind of things Pan Bureau needs, I think they should get it." ”

Director Pan clinked glasses with him: "This gift is not small. ”

Yi Tianxing found that this director of the jǐng inspection bureau was much more sincere than he imagined, and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

Director Pan added: "Recently, there have been instructions in the province to pay attention to the security of the provincial capital, and it will be cracked down for about a month, and I don't want to see anyone making trouble." ”

Yi Tianxing said: "Thank you." ”

Both sides have their own gains, and the scene at the banquet is lively again, plus the deputy director Tang is worthy of being an educator, and he is really knowledgeable, and a few bedside jokes in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were told by him with some ancient rhyme, which can't help but make this vegetarian light wine a little more indescribable.

The table was bustling with activity, and a monk in a robe walked in from outside the courtyard.

I don't know what the identity of that person is, Director Pan and Deputy Director Tang stood up together, and Yi Tianxing stood up in confusion.

Director Pan saluted and said, "The abbot is not in retreat, he is just having some fasting with his friends, and he will never dare to disturb you." ”

It turned out to be the abbot of Baotong Zen Temple.

The abbot smiled slightly, but he didn't speak to Director Pan, but saluted Yi Tianxing: "Yi Jushi came to the temple today, but he refused to see the old man, how stingy?"

Although Director Pan knew that Yi Tianxing had something to do with Guiyuan Temple, he never expected that the old abbot of Baotong Temple would be so respectful to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Tang Yitong is a relative and friend of the Gu family, how could he not have imagined that the Gu family actually had a young master, who seemed to be more mellow than the old lady in the provincial capital back then, and he could let the director of the jǐng inspection bureau entrust him with his errands, and let the abbot of the Baotong Zen room greet him personally.

Yi Tianxing smiled slightly, and as soon as his heart sutra turned, he sensed that the abbot of Baotong Temple was also a Buddhist practitioner, and naturally understood that the other party respected the identity of his mountain gate protector, and he returned the courtesy: "I have seen the abbot." ”

The abbot also saluted and said, "The layman may see xìng?"

"No, I can't. ”

"After the feast is dispersed, please stay with the layman, there is a troublesome place that the layman needs to be relieved. ”

Yi Tianxing smiled and nodded.

After the abbot left, Pan Tang and the others looked at Yi Tianxing with more eyes, Director Pan closed his eyes slightly, and finally said after pondering for a while: "It seems that I really found the right person." The matter of Guiyuan Temple, you must be bothered by Xiao Yi to help a lot. ”

Yi Tianxing listened to the word "Xiao Yi", but he was taken aback by this deliberate cordiality, and before he could open his mouth to shirk it, he listened to Director Pan and said: "If it is my own business, I don't want to ask for someone like this, let alone ......" Although the words did not speak, a sense of helplessness was revealed, "It's just that this matter is entrusted by one of my elders, so I also ask Brother Yi to fulfill it." ”

"Elder?" Deputy Director Tang, who was listening next to him, finally couldn't help but speak, "Could it be that Lao Pan is the one you are talking about?"

"Exactly. ”

Yi Tianxing looked at him slightly, he didn't know who this was, he only knew that this matter didn't seem to be simple, so he made a gesture of please and asked Director Pan to finish his words.

"What is the most popular in the officialdom of the provincial capital today?"

"I don't know. Yi Tianxing scratched his head, thinking that the officialdom was 108,000 miles away from him.

Tang Yitong thought: "The most popular is to worship Buddha and Taoism." ”

"Not bad. Director Pan said softly: "Although it is unlikely that these things can be done on the bright side, everyone knows that those people above are not compared to each other? The first pillar of incense at the beginning of each year, whoever can burn it, is very dignified, and these ghost things, who dares not to believe it? Let's just say that the year before last, that Lin nodded a pillar of incense on Wudang Mountain, and the construction company in his hometown gave 1 million yuan. ”

Director Pan sighed: "My elder is getting older, and I don't know how I believe in this, and I want to light the first pillar incense of the New Year in Guiyuan Temple." But Master Bin Ku is a real master, and he doesn't like this set, and he is not allowed to pay any price. He is the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the director of the Buddhist Association, what can we do? If not, how could I have come forward for you last time, little brother?"

Yi Tianxing was dumbfounded, he only now knew that these bigwigs in the officialdom were willing to spend millions of yuan for a pillar of incense. Fortunately, there are too many strange facts he is encountering now, and he is no longer the young man who picks up rags in Gaoyang County, and after a little contemplation, he settled his mind, and thought about it carefully, this is not a despicable thing to kill people and set fires, but he can get some silver flowers for Guiyuan Temple, and his own mountain gate protector seems to be able to generate income for Buddhism...... Thinking about these messy things in his heart, he responded with a smirk on his face: "The monks don't have any expenses, so naturally they can't think of this, so I'll ask." ”

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Director Pan's lips.

"I just don't dare to hide it from you, I have a troublesome matter at the moment, and I must take this matter through before I can give you a definite answer. I just don't know if this time will be in time, after all, there are only a few days left before the beginning of the year. Yi Tianxing said very seriously.

Director Pan raised his glass and congratulated: "With this sentence, I can explain it to the old man, thank you first." He pondered for a while, and then said: "Classmate Yi, I know that you don't have a deep relationship with the Gu family, and you have a deep relationship, but for your own sake, I want to send you four words at this time." ”

You say. ”

"Obey the law. ”

Yi Tianxing scratched his head, thinking that he really wanted to practice these four words well, but I became a Buddha and there were demons around me. When I first entered the provincial university, I thought about whitewashing, but what Lord Wei couldn't do in the palace couldn't do, could I do it?

He looked at the mountain behind the monastery, and his face was silent.

If you don't know the law of karma, you don't know loyalty. I don't know loyalty, I don't know how to forgive?
