Chapter 42 Return to Hangzhou
The loss of cultural relics is a major case, and Zhou Bai and his party, who triggered the counter alarm, were naturally focused on by the police.
Outside the police station, Xu Shiwen looked at Xiaoqing in disbelief, thinking that this time he would have to be interrogated several times before it ended, but he didn't expect that Xiaoqing's phone call alone would be enough for the director of the city bureau to personally send them out.
Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of May Day to have a while, but unexpectedly this kind of thing happened, Bai Susu sighed, and forced a smile: "Xiaoqing, I and the officials are going back to school, are you also together?"
With her eyes flickering, Xiaoqing felt that Bai Susu seemed to have something to say to her, turned her head to look at Zhou Bai, Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I...... My things are still in Zhou Bai's place, otherwise you and the scholar will go back first, and I will leave later. ”
Where are the things placed in Zhou Bai's place? Bai Susu's heart jumped, and said secretly, you won't live together, right?
Xu Shiwen also looked at the two of them with a strange expression, which meant that Xiao Qingqiao's face flushed, and he said: "You think too much, I just left my luggage with him, Bai Susu, go and take care of your family Xu Shiwen." ”
Bai Susu covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, don't laugh at Xiaoqing." Stretching out his hand and twisting Xu Shiwen, Bai Susu turned around and said: "Anyway, the class will start the day after tomorrow, and we are not in a hurry, just wait for you at the station, take back the things and go to the station to meet." ”
Xiaoqing looked at Bai Susu's face, the two had known each other for many years, she naturally understood what Bai Susu meant, and nodded: "Well, then we'll see you later." ”
Zhou Bai said goodbye to the two of them, and walked with Xiaoqing towards the bus stop sign not far away.
.....
After Xu Shiwen took out his mobile phone and booked a taxi with the taxi software, he felt the warm and delicate body pasted on his shoulders, and the soft hair crossed his cheeks and hooked a trace of itching, Xu Shiwen couldn't help but reach out and rub his nose, and hesitated: "In the hall just now, I seem to have seen another Zhou Bai." ”
Bai Susu raised his head and frowned, "When?"
Xu Shiwen recalled: "Just as the coffin lamp disappeared, I found that he walked out of the hall against the crowd, as if he was still holding something in his hand. ”
Bai Susu repeated: "First the alarm was inexplicably triggered, then we heard Master Fa Ming's voice, and then the coffin lamp disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and you saw another Zhou Bai leave the hall. The voice was getting lower and lower, and the fog in Bai Susu's heart was getting thicker and thicker, and the only thing she knew was that they seemed to be in a very dangerous trouble.
The two sat in the back seat of the taxi, Xu Shiwen looked at the passing scenery on the side of the road, and sighed: "When I haven't seen these things, I yearn for it, but now I am involved in it, but I feel so frightened." Looks like I'm not really the main character. ”
A wisp of sandalwood went around his nose, Xu Shiwen turned his head suddenly, but saw that Fa Ming, who was originally gone, was sitting in the front seat of the taxi!
Obviously, there was an extra passenger in the car, but the middle-aged driver didn't seem to notice it, and a chill poured into his heart, Xu Shiwen shuddered: "Master, you don't want to kill people, do you?"
Fa Ming shook his head and smiled: "The poor monk is a monk, how can he kill innocents indiscriminately, it's just that there is something I want to ask you." ”
Xu Shiwen's hands and feet were cold, and he hesitated: "Didn't you take that coffin lamp? Don't worry, I will never tell others about hearing the Buddha's name." ”
Fa Ming sighed and said: "The poor monk doesn't want to speak, but the donor is lying repeatedly, you obviously know that Zhou Bai brought the poor monk's magic weapon." ”
Xu Shiwen, who was in a panic, didn't notice Fa Ming's sentence 'The Poor Monk's Magic Weapon', and pretended to be calm and said: "Since you know that Zhou Bai brought the coffin lamp, then look for him directly, I don't know where he lives." ”
If it weren't for the shaky calves and wandering eyes, Fa Ming would really think that the other party was a bold person.
With a long sigh, Fa Ming said: "In the eyes of 'Zhou Bai', everything in the world is illusory, even if it is illusory, it doesn't hurt to be destroyed, even if the poor monk kills you, kills Bai Susu, kills Zhou Bai and Xiaoqing, he won't care." Turning his head to look at Bai Susu, Fa Ming slowly reached out his hand, and his voice changed from the previous flat to cold.
"Since you think everything here is illusory, then the poor monk will bring you the true end. ”
With a palm poking out, Fa Ming's body couldn't help but be stunned, the surrounding light and shadow flowed, and everything around him seemed to be constantly elongated, Xu Shiwen's angry voice also disappeared, and when he came to his senses, he was already outside the universe, in chaos.
......
On the banks of the Yangtze River in the southwest of Nanjing, or in the Jianye District of the old city of Jinling.
This place is not so prosperous compared to other districts, but there is a special sense of tranquility, Xiaoqing and Zhou Bai after a few stops, then get off at the riverside wetland park, as soon as the car door, the fresh moisture blowing away the boring feeling on the bus.
Xiaoqing took Zhou Bai's arm and walked quietly on the street, his steps were slow and a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about how to stay with the people next to him for a while.
Walking through a few alleys, Zhou Bai smiled and said: "In a few days, it will be the turn of Zhejiang **** to exhibit the collection, how about going to Hangzhou to find you when I finish dealing with the matter at hand?"
Xiaoqing looked surprised, nodded vigorously, and said, "Well, good, good!" She knew that Zhou Bai rarely promised, but as long as he promised something, he would definitely do it.
Taking Zhou Bai's hand, Xiaoqing ran a few steps and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, Bai Susu is still waiting for me, she should make fun of me again when it's too late." ”
Feeling the hot feelings in his palm, the smile on Zhou Bai's face also softened a little, no longer as plain as water, but left a gloom that could not be dissolved.
Zhou Bai's house is in the depths of the alley, three bungalows and a small courtyard, not very big but not very small, perhaps it is from the area of the old city development, the surrounding high-rise buildings rise from time to time The sound of locomotive operation comes from all around, but when the two of them pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard, the noisy construction site was silent.
Xiaoqing looked at the sunset in the corner of the wall, and said dissatisfiedly: "These developers are really, why don't you plan well when you start construction, and when the front floor is built, this small courtyard will never see the sun again." ”
She didn't respond for a long time, and when she turned around, she found that Zhou Bai had already walked into the back room.
Pouting, Xiao Qing carefully bypassed the waste swords all over the ground, and came to the back room, there was only a flame shadow in the dim room, Xiao Qing squinted his eyes and avoided the sword embryo with ease, and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Bai, how many swords have you hit?"
Only then did Zhou Bai come to his senses, put away the scroll on the table, and sighed: "These are still sword embryos, not real swords." Glancing at the sword embryo on the table with a complicated expression, Zhou Bai withdrew his gaze.
"I almost forgot, your luggage is in my room, I'll go get it for you. ”
Two slender fingers pinched the corners of his clothes, Zhou Bai was stunned in vain, and countless memory pictures seemed to flow through his mind, but these were as unpredictable as a passing cloud.
The two lumps of warmth behind him were clinging to his back, and the arms around his waist also made Zhou Bai regain consciousness.
"Zhou Bai, can you not ....." Xiaoqing stopped talking halfway through, I don't know when, she is no longer the spoiled and willful female man who speaks without brains, in front of Zhou Bai, she has learned to accommodate and learn to be sentimental.
Ever since the two got acquainted, she had heard Zhou Bai talk about his long-standing obsession with forging a sword that should exist but shouldn't exist.
Whenever Zhou Bai talked about the sword, Xiaoqing could always feel the strongest and purest love in the other party's heart, and she had this love before, that is, when she thought of Zhou Bai.
First love is always unforgettable, Zhou Bai is Xiaoqing's first love, but Xiaoqing knows that she is not Zhou Bai's first love.
Maybe...... Zhou Bai's first love is the sword in his obsession.
Xiaoqing, who was in love, stopped talking, she knew that she shouldn't eat the vinegar of a sword, so she let go of her hand, took a half step back and smiled: "This is your reward~ Remember to come to Hangzhou to see me." ”
A touch of sweet softness touched his lips, Zhou Bai stepped forward and took Xiaoqing into his arms, and the two did not stop until they felt each other's heavy breathing.
Xiao Qing's face is like a peach blossom, and her crystal clear earlobes have been dyed pink, "Come and help me pack my luggage." ”
After tossing all day, waiting for Zhou Bai to send Xiaoqing to the station and returning to the courtyard, it was already dusk, and the flow of people after work was constantly walking through the streets, at this time, even the cleanest old city had become noisy.
It wasn't until he entered the alley that Zhou Baifang breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't hate crowds, crowded places would give him a feeling of being alive, as if he could pull his almost ethereal heart into the mortal dust, and make him feel the truth of the world and the truth of himself.
As soon as his mind moved, the faint lights in the depths of the alley made him frown slightly, and his steps couldn't help but be a little faster.
He is the only family in the depths of this alley, and now the lights are on, isn't it a thief?
The pace is getting faster and faster, and his heart is getting more and more anxious, nothing else matters, only that scroll of painting must not be lost!
High walls on both sides towered, dense buildings covered the sky and the moon, walking through the dim alleys, Zhou Bai seemed to be in another world, at the end of the road was his home, two strange lanterns hung in front of the slightly closed door, the lights were swaying, Zhou Bai read out the strange plaque hanging on the door.
'Chatting'..... The vigor and vastness of the word is condensed by the power of Haoran, and the breath does not leak half a point; the word is transformed by the sword intent, far beyond the supreme, and it is impossible to comment.
In the meantime, Zhou Bai couldn't help but be stunned by a thin mark that seemed to be there, and he could feel that this fine mark was a sword mark, and the source of the sword mark was in his dream all along.
Pushing open the door, everything was silent, the moonlight reflected from nowhere sprinkled the courtyard, a young man who looked exactly like him was unfolding a picture scroll, shaking his head and sighing, and the stone table that suddenly appeared in the courtyard was the coffin lamp lost in the museum during the day!
Is this a dream? or reality? Zhou Bai shook his head, closed his eyes and opened them, a few insect chirps were particularly loud in the silent night, and the small courtyard in front of him was already empty, only a simple lampstand lying in the palm of his hand.
....
Because it was a temporary seat, the three of them only bought a pair of seats next to each other, and in desperation, Xu Shiwen had to sit in another carriage and look at his mobile phone.
Xiao Qing, who was sitting by the window, retracted his gaze, turned his head and said, "Susu, what do you want to tell me?" The tiredness between his eyebrows made Bai Susu's heart tremble, and he sighed: "Is Zhou Bai from 'that place'?"
Xiaoqing was stunned, looked at Bai Susu suspiciously, shook her head and said, "No." Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"
Bai Susu said in a deep voice: "When Xu Shiwen and I went to the West Lake, we met a Zen master Faming. ”
Xiaoqing blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "He has a junior brother named Fahai?"
'Bah, bah, bah. Bai Susu took a few sips and said dissatisfiedly: "What Fahai, Xu Shiwen and I are not the Legend of the White Snake, don't talk nonsense." The affectionate name between her and Xu Shiwen is just a joke, both of them like to watch the legend of the White Snake, and the name is only one word different from the legend, so they have a curiosity and a good impression of each other.
Xiaoqing rubbed against Bai Susu's face and said with a smile: "I like to see my family's Susu mood the most." ”
Bai Susu struggled to break free from Xiaoqing's claws, and said breathlessly: "Don't make trouble, I'll talk to you about business." ”
Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Isn't eating vegetarian tofu the right thing?" said as he stretched out his hands and grabbed them a few times, and probed Bai Susu with a wicked smile.
Bai Susu frowned and said, "What are you running away from?"
Xiaoqing's movements stopped suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he forced a smile: "I'm not on the run." ”
Bai Susu said in a deep voice: "Zhou Bai is by no means as simple as you see, Fa Ming that Xu Shiwen and I met in Hangzhou is from that place, and he rushed from Hangzhou to Nanjing to find Zhou Bai." ”
Bai Susu paused and added: "On the way here, Xu Shiwen and I have already met Zhou Bai three times, the appearance and clothing are exactly the same, and the breath and demeanor cannot be imitated, I have been sure of this." ”
Xiao Qingqiang smiled: "So what? If Fa Ming was looking for him, why didn't he show up." When she said this, Xiaoqing's heart had already believed nine points, not to mention that Bai Susu had never deceived her, and then she also heard the old Buddha horn in the Nanjing Museum, and the voice in her mind that echoed was definitely not something that ordinary people could make.
Bai Susu sighed: "You ......" Looking at Xiaoqing who lowered his head, Bai Susu couldn't say any more.
What can she say now? Persuade them to break up? Bai Susu has no reason or position to do this.
Even if she didn't see any love in Zhou Bai's eyes, she couldn't judge the relationship between Zhou Bai and Xiaoqing because of this.
A sigh came from his ears, Xiao Qing's face changed, he stretched out his hand to stop in front of Bai Susu, and said coldly: "Who is it!"
The Buddha's name was whispering, the golden light flashed, and suddenly a white-eyed old monk wearing a robe suddenly appeared on the walkway, his face was withered but his eyes were burning, and his eyes seemed to be infinite chaos, and the flames ignited during it were as eternal as stars.
"The poor monk knows that you have complete doubts in your heart, and come with me, how about the poor monk take you to see the real Zhou Bai?"
