lost soul

When we arrived at the airport, we bid farewell to Pei Ju, who had been pleading repeatedly, Duan Baopu asked Pei Ci to wait for him, and then went to the bathroom by himself.

In order not to look too strange, Duan Baopu took off his Taoist robe, and put on short sleeves and knee-length shorts, as well as the cloth shoes on his feet, for fear of attracting inexplicable looks from Pei Ci.

Pei Ci was amazed after seeing Duan Baopu's change of clothes. After looking at Duan Baopu's whole body, he said thoughtfully: "Wearing a Taoist robe looks like a loose crane bone, but after changing his outfit, he looks like an exile." Down to earth."

Duan Baopu's cheekiness could not bear such a compliment, he quickly waved his hands to tell Pei Ci to stop, he couldn't afford it.

Because there is a storage bag, they don't have to carry the luggage by themselves, and the empty-handed passengers are out of tune with the passengers with large bags and small bags around them.

Duan Baopu walked to a corner, took out his backpack from the storage bag, and took a small suitcase for Pei Ci.He handed the backpack to Pei Ci, carried the suitcase by himself, and pretended that the two of them were indeed normal people.

Pei Ci was a little curious about the holding bag, and asked in a low voice: "How big is your holding bag?"

Without thinking too much, Duan Baopu took out a small bag woven with deep purple silk thread from the schoolbag on Pei Ci's back. It was tied with a red rope at the top, with tassels at the ends, and orchids and bamboo leaves were embroidered with white thread on the body of the bag. The whole is very small and exquisite.It doesn't look like a cloth pouch for things, but it looks like that kind of sachet.

He handed the Nawu pouch to Pei Ci while introducing it: "Actually, the full name of the Nawu pouch is Natian Tundi Weaving Square Silk Sac. Because it is a magic weapon, the name is a bit long, so I will just shorten it to Natiantundi." It's stuffed."

Pei Ci took the bag and turned it over and over in his hand, "The name is a little crazy."

Duan Baopu smiled, and continued: "I'm not sure how big this is, but at least a three-story building is no problem."

"Why are you so sure?" Pei Ci looked at Duan Baopu playfully.

Duan Baopu coughed and said, "Because there is one inside."

Pei Ci tried to untie the mouth of the bag, and shook it upside down, so naturally nothing would be poured out.

Duan Baopu explained: "To get something from here, you just need to think about the item in your mind, and they will automatically go to the pocket to wait for you to pick it up. There is a contract between the storage bag and the owner, and the item can be exchanged. Lord's will."

Pei Ci nodded, squeezed the bag, and returned it to Duan Baopu.

Duan Baopu hooked the red rope with his fingers, and after turning it around a few times, he remembered something. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the announcement reminding them of their shift.

He thought about it for a second, and it was not too late to talk about it later, so he put the matter on hold for the time being.

The city where Suren Village is located is not far away, and it was already past three o'clock when the plane arrived.

Standing in the darkness, Duan Baopu proposed with the suitcase in his hand: "Brother Pei Ci, why don't we go to the hotel to rest for a while? We have to go to Suren Village by car."

Pei Ci agreed, walked two steps, turned around and asked with a smile, "Do you choose two rooms or one room?"

The evening wind was intoxicating, and the moon was bright and clear behind Pei Ci, casting a layer of white soft light on him.

Duan Baopu's brain stopped working, and he replied in a strange way: "Just one room."

After speaking, I realized that I was extremely regretful, and I opened my mouth to make up for it, but I couldn't say it.

Pei Ci did not delve into it, and after getting the answer, he walked towards a hotel. Duan Baopu followed with mixed feelings.

Both of them had their ID cards in Pei Ci's hands. Pei Ci went to the front desk to open a room. The cashier was a little drowsy, but when he saw two handsome guys standing in front of him in the middle of the night, he was still confused whether it was a dream or real.

Pei Ci handed over the ID card, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Please give me a double room."

"Okay, okay." The cashier woke up now, and while operating the system, she looked at the ID cards of Duan Baopu and Pei Ci.

This age, is it young or old?

The cashier said it was too much of a struggle.

"Okay, here is your room card. Take the elevator on the fifth floor to the right of No. 520 and go inside." The cashier moved a little selfishly, and handed the room card to Pei Ci with a smile on his face.

Pei Ci took a deep look at the cashier, and the smile on his face deepened: "Thank you."

After speaking, he turned around and waved at Duan Baopu, and they went to take the elevator together.

Watching their backs disappear into the elevator, the cashier said to himself, "I'm old enough to be wrong. It's a sin, but it's still cute."

The room is quite big, Pei Ci took out a change of clothes from the suitcase, and went to take a shower first.

Duan Baopu sat by the bed, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, his mouth felt dry.

He smashed his mouth, got up and poured himself a glass of water, and drank it with a gulp.Then take off your shoes and sit cross-legged on the bed, meditating: "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form."

After reading two wrong sentences, I corrected my words and said again: "It is cold through the ages, everything is still, and the mind should be calm. I hope I am alone, and the mind and spirit are one."

Pei Ci came out of the shower, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, wiping his hair with a towel, walked to the bed and heard Duan Baopu still reciting the sentence.

"No change, no ignorance, no anger, no desire, no pursuit, no giving up, no abandonment, no action, no self..."

Pei Ci took out the hair dryer, sat on the bed and plugged it in, and while drying his hair, he said with a smile: "Little Taoist priest, stop reading."

Duan Baopu closed one eye and opened the other to look at Pei Ci.

Pei Ci tilted his head, his bony fingers were holding his hair, and he was holding a hair dryer in his other hand. While blowing his hair, he finished what he said just now: "You are just a little Taoist chanting mantras, you have no intention of speaking."

"..." Duan Baopu smelled the hotel's uniform shampoo on the tip of his nose, and he opened his other eye. He hurriedly got up, pulled a few clothes from his storage bag, and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

Turning on the shower, Duan Baopu thought for a while, and silently lowered the water temperature.

Pei Ci is so beautiful, he couldn't help but think...

Duan Baopu shook his head, and while spraying on the shower gel, he said:

"A pure heart is like water, and clear water is like a heart. There is no breeze, and the waves are calm...what the hell."

On the second day, Pei Ci looked relaxed, and he was not tired at all after the journey.But Duan Baopu kept yawning and lacked sleep. He stared on the bed for a long time after taking a shower before falling asleep.

Ordinary people in Suren Village didn't know where they were, and Duan Baopu and Pei Ci only got to a place in the suburbs by car.

The taxi driver also asked them strangely what they were doing in the mountains, and Duan Baopu casually said that they were on a professional inspection.

There are mountains in the suburbs, not very high, some have been developed into scenic spots, and some still maintain their original appearance.

Duan Baopu and Pei Ci walked into a mountain, passed through layers of trees, and came to a cliff, below was a valley, the strange thing was that the inside was yellow and lifeless.

Duan Baopu pointed to the valley in front of him and said: "This is it, this is all a trick. The enchantment needs people with mana to enter. Brother Pei Ci will take my hand and go in first."

Pei Ci stretched out his hand and held Duan Baopu, "Is it okay for me to go in as an ordinary person?"

"It's okay, you are different." Duan Baopu led Pei Ci and took a step towards the edge of the cliff. The scenery in front of them changed, and a winding road appeared at the bottom of the valley, and the valley was full of flowers and trees. , There are still a few houses with smoke curling up.

Pei Ci thought of the Peach Blossom Spring, where the deserted roads warm the traffic, and the dogs and chickens bark at each other.It is really like what Duan Baopu said before, it is a village that makes people feel comfortable at first sight.

Pei Ci was full of emotion in his heart, but he still keenly felt Duan Baopu's hand tightening. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Duan Baopu shook his head: "I feel wrong. Let's go to the valley."

As he said that, Duan Baopu seemed to have forgotten, and he still led Pei Ci to walk on the path.

Pei Ci was like strolling casually, he didn't refuse, and let himself be pulled.

The author has something to say: "Don't be surprised by everything..." from "Meditation".

"A pure heart is like water..." comes from "Pure Heart Jue".

"The barren road warms the traffic, and the chickens and dogs bark at each other" comes from Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring Poem".
