Datang beauty walk

Qiqing finished reading her father Lu Xiaotian's suicide note with tears in her eyes.

"Hanako, thank you for all the hard work you have done for us. Today I see these relics of my father, just like seeing his old man with my own eyes. I don't know how to repay you?"

"Senior sister, don't say such outrageous things, these are what I should do!"

Qiqing no longer said any polite words to Hanako.Since then, Hanako has lived in Qiqing's house in Plum Village.

Qiqing and Danniang stayed at home most of the time, and sometimes they would go out into the city once every two or three months, or go to the nearest town to buy some daily necessities.

After all, Huazi is young, she has nothing to do at home, and she can't stay at ease. She often goes out with her master's sword on her back, and sometimes she will come back in three or four days, and sometimes she doesn't see her face for months.

Qiqing is not as worried about Huazi as Danniang is because Huazi possesses the martial arts skills taught by her father Lu Xiaotian.But the last time she came back from the town, she frowned a little. She sat in the room, as if waiting for something.

After half an hour, Huazi came back with a happy face. Seeing her coming back, Danniang put down her work and went to sweep the dust for her.

Qiqing walked outside the door, glanced at Hanako, and said:

"Hanako, come in. I have something to ask you!"

Hanako followed into the room.

"Senior sister, what's the matter?"

Qiqing sat down and said:

"Hanako, let me ask you, were you the one who killed the bully Xie Taisui Xie Bao in Shimen Town last night?"

Hanako asked in surprise:

"Senior sister, how do you know?"

"Today we went to the town and heard that Xie Bao had his throat blocked with a sword. According to those people's arguments, I thought of you. Did you kill Xie Bao?"

Seeing Qiqing staring straight at her, Huazi said without concealing:

"I killed him. Then Xie Taisui has done a lot of evil and harmed the people. He is a very bad person. Once he goes to the street, people avoid him. He takes whatever he wants, bullies men and women, no one dares to do it." Touch him. Yesterday, I removed this local evil for everyone."

"Have you ever done something like this before?"

"Correct!"

Qi Qing was silent for a while and said:

"Hanako, I don't object to you hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, but you have to use methods and methods to solve things, and you can't just use violence to solve them. Those who commit the most heinous crimes deserve death, but there are many perpetrators who are not guilty of crimes. We can't Indiscriminate killing. Although they do evil, they also have families and children, and the matter will not be resolved just because they are killed. Moreover, there are also upright and honest people in the government, and those who break the law should also be handed over to the government Disposal. Besides, if you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts. There are many talented people in this world. I accidentally lost you again. You may not agree with what I said, but I still ask you to think twice, don’t kill one by one, you must know that the bad guys in this world can’t be killed just by killing them.”

After Qiqing finished speaking, she looked at Hanako.Hanako stood there with her head down.Tanniang walked up to Hanako and said:

"Hanako, you may think differently from your senior sister Qiqing, but she said this for your own good. You want to help people and bring justice, which is great, but you don't have to kill people. You have to punish those bad people. Can think of other ways...

You are still young, and the road ahead will be long, life will not be smooth sailing, you are a woman, you should know how to cherish yourself, don't you think so? "

Huazi was somewhat resistant to Qiqing's words at first, but for some reason, when Tanniang said it, she felt pleasing to her ears, she raised her head and said:

"Senior sister, don't worry, I will act carefully in the future and won't worry you."

"That's good, you're tired too, eat something and go rest!" Qi Qing said.

"Oh!" Hanako walked out of the room.

Ever since Qiqing talked to Hanako, Hanako would still go out every now and then, and sometimes for a long time, only returning home once a year or so.

But every time she came back, she would tell Qiqing and Danniang all the things she had done outside without reservation, and she would ask for their opinions every time.

Qiqing and Danniang would not interfere in everything, but just put forward their opinions. They saw that Hanako was acting more and more steadily, and even handled some things very well, which Qiqing and the others did not expect.After Qiqing heard this, she often sighed that she was inferior, saying that her body and mind could no longer catch up with the newcomers.

Huazi not only told her various experiences, but also told Qiqing and Danniang what she saw and heard outside; Qiqing and Danniang listened with interest.

After listening to Huazi's narration, they knew that outside, the emperor, the brother of Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin had passed away, and his son succeeded him as the new emperor.

The ministers in the imperial court put on a group of new faces. In the vortex of power, some rose up, some abdicated, and some marquis officials were sent into exile after their homes were ransacked.

The life of ordinary people is still the same, paying taxes, performing labor and military service, and then marrying wives and having children, and sending old farmers.

While eating food, Huazi told Qiqing and Danniang vividly what she saw in Chang'an.

As Hanako said, Chang'an City was the most prosperous and lively city in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also a first-class metropolis in the world at that time.

Qingdu Temple is located three miles away from the east gate of the prosperous Chang'an City. There are countless pilgrims and tourists here every day.

Although Bi'er is a woman priest in this famous temple in the capital, her daily life is still monotonous and repetitive. In the morning, she wakes up with the morning bell to burn incense and worship gods, and at night, she is accompanied by the yellow lantern scriptures.Even if you want to do meritorious deeds outside, you must get the consent of the principal in the temple.

In this way, she has spent the most precious years of her life.But she has long been a little numb to her Taoist life, and she feels that she is already in the final destination of her life.

However, fate did not take pity on her. The cold wind and rain repeatedly wanted to knock down the flower that was shrunk on the branch.

But will Beer be in pain?She has already seen through life and death, or in other words, death is her best destination, and she knows that everything will cease after her death.

But how can a person die so easily?Where do you go when you die?For that unknown world, she was unwilling to take risks easily.Even if you have to die, you have to do your best. She thinks this is a respect and reward for everyone who has helped her and cared about her.

So, she got up early in the same way, burned incense and worshiped gods in the same way, slept and ate in the same way, performed rituals and chanted scriptures in the same way, and greeted the sunrise and sent away the sunset every day.

Sometimes, she suddenly felt that there was no one around, that she was the only one eating, offering incense, and sleeping in this empty place during the day. It seems to have disappeared.

Sometimes, she also has another feeling. Looking at the people coming and going in the Taoist temple, she will suddenly not find herself, as if she disappeared inexplicably at that time, but she can still see the busy wandering around. people.

Under the strict rules and regulations that must be observed, Bi'er became the most quiet and diligent Taoist in the Qingdu temple.But she didn't deliberately want to be such a person, it was caused by her state of mind.

In the evening, Bi'er went to the main hall. She filled the large and small lamps with sesame oil, lit the incense again, and prayed for a while in front of the idol.

When she left the main hall, walked through the corridor, and returned to her own teacher's room, she suddenly saw a man and a woman hugging each other intimately behind the pillar at the corner of the corridor.Bi'er recognized the two from their sides, and she thought to herself:

"Isn't this the third senior brother and the fifth junior sister? The two of them are like this. If others find out, they will be severely punished according to the rules."

It was hard for her to come forward to remind her, so she coughed twice to draw their attention to her behavior, and then left.

The third senior brother Daoneng and the fifth senior sister Daohui behind the pillar heard coughing, and the two were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out. The man stretched his head and looked back before saying:

"Oops, it's Dao Jing!"

Fifth Junior Sister panicked and said:

"Let the senior sister see our affairs, alas, what should we do? When the master finds out, we will be finished!"

The two walked around in panic, day after night in fear, only to find that their master and all the Taoist priests in the audience looked exactly the same as before, so they felt a little relieved.It wasn't until ten days later that Dao Jing didn't mention the matter, that the two were completely relieved.

In the middle of the night, Third Senior Brother Dao Neng sneaked out of the courtyard where he lived, climbed over a low wall, tiptoed to the door of Fifth Junior Sister's room, pushed the door lightly, and it opened. Fifth Junior Sister had left him Door.

"Fifth Junior Sister!"

Dao Neng entered the door and called in a low voice, someone turned out from the darkness and hugged him.

Daoneng was startled, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who was coming.After a while, the two hugging each other separated, and the light came on.

"Junior Sister, I have something important to discuss with you today."

Fifth Junior Sister turned around and sat down, she raised her lips and said softly:

"Senior Brother, didn't you come here just for Senior Sister's business?"

Upon hearing this, Dao Neng quickly moved his body to the side of Fifth Junior Sister, and said:

"The one who knows me is really my junior sister! This is a stone in my heart!"

The two of them talked about Bi'er in the room——their senior sister and senior sister Dao Jing.

Fifth Junior Sister looked sideways at him and said:

"Are you so afraid of Senior Sister?"

The third senior brother pulled off his neckline which seemed a bit tight:

"Hey, I'm not afraid of her. I'm afraid of Master. Now that Master is getting old, and in a few years, Master will ascend to heaven. Who do you think will pass on the position of Master of the Qingdu Temple?"

"That can only be between you and Senior Sister." Fifth Junior Sister said casually.

"That's right, but in the past few years, the master has paid more and more attention to Dao Jing, and he has the intention of ignoring me. Let her do everything first, and let me only be her helper. I am afraid that this will continue. It will fall into the hands of Dao Jing."

"Then you are not afraid of her?" Seeing that the senior brother was downcast, the fifth junior sister said again: "Why is this so difficult, give her some medicine, won't it be solved?"

"What? You want me to poison Dao Jing to death?" Dao Neng hurriedly waved his hand to veto: "No, no, if I do this, if I'm found out, I will die!"

"Who said he was going to poison her to death?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Didn't the master value that the senior sister is better than us in everything? Give her some medicine, and she won't be able to get up the next morning, which will delay the breakfast in the morning. Does the master still trust her?"

The third senior brother Dao Neng smiled when he heard this:

"Yes, it's a good strategy, but how to prescribe the medicine?"

"Leave this to me, and I guarantee that everything will be done!"

"Then I really want to thank you, Junior Sister!"

"Hmph, as long as you don't forget my kindness when the time comes." Fifth Junior Sister's sharp and beautiful chin was raised high.

"Of course!" The third senior brother hurriedly responded.

Two days later, fifth junior sister Daohui came to Bi'er's teacher's room, and she called out kindly:

"Sister!"

Bier stood up from her desk:

"Fifth Junior Sister, is there anything wrong with coming here so late?"

"Just finished the evening class, senior sister, I can't draw these Dao talismans well, please help me draw a few." She said and handed Bi'er a piece of white paper with small characters written on it and a stack of yellow paper.

"it is good!"

Bi'er took the yellow and white paper, sat down and took the ink pen to draw.Fifth Junior Sister was watching her painting, and said:

"Senior Sister, your tea is cold. I have freshly brewed hot tea in my room. Shall I bring you some hot tea?"

"um. Thank you!"

Fifth Junior Sister turned around and walked to the table next to the wall opposite Bier, took the teapot on the table and went outside.She poured more than half of the pot of freshly brewed hot tea into Bier's teapot and came back quickly. After entering, she added hot tea to the senior sister's teacup.Seeing her senior sister bowing her head and drawing a Taoist talisman, she said:

"Senior Sister, I still have something to do. After you draw the Dao Talisman, put it here first, and I'll pick it up tomorrow?"

"Then go get busy."

"Hey."

The next day, Bi'er woke up groggy from her sleep. Seeing that the sky was bright, she hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door and saw that the sun had already risen high, hurriedly washed and dressed, and hurried to the main hall run.

At this time, the early funeral ceremony held in the main hall was about to end, Bi'er quietly went over and stood beside the brothers and sisters.After the ceremony was over, she stepped forward and said to the abbot:

"Master, I'm not feeling well, so I came late, please forgive me, Master."

Knowing that Wang Yuan took a long look at her, his face was expressionless, and he said:

"Let's not take this as an example, let's go."

"Yes." Bi'er stepped aside.

In the evening, the fifth junior sister came to pick up the Taoist talisman she had asked her senior sister to draw last night. When she entered the room, she saw her senior sister writing scriptures under the lamp, so she walked up to her senior sister.

"Senior Sister, the scriptures you wrote are too neat, with fresh and elegant fonts. I'm afraid I won't be able to write like yours in another ten years!"

Bi'er didn't stop writing scriptures in her hand, she smiled slightly and said:

"You have won the prize. It depends on human effort. If you put a little effort into it, you will write better than me."

Fifth Junior Sister stretched her waist and said:

"I am not as serious as you. After writing a few lines, my head and neck will become sore."

As she spoke, she picked up Bier's teacup on the table in front of her, turned around to the opposite table, took the teapot on the table, added tea to Bier's teacup, turned back, and put the teacup in front of Bier :

"Senior sister, have you drawn the Taoist talisman I want?"

"I drew it last night," Bi'er said, turning her head to the left: "It's on the shelf over there, take it yourself!"

Fifth Junior Sister took the stack of Taoist talismans that Senior Sister had drawn for her, and looked back, seeing that Senior Sister was still writing with her head down, she walked out the door.

Bi'er did not expect that under her extreme vigilance, she would also be unable to fall asleep the next day.She rushed to the main hall in a hurry, when the master saw her with an angry face, he reprimanded:

"Dao Jing, do you know what time it is now? People who become monks and practice the Tao sleep until the sun is three poles. Is there anyone who cultivates the Tao like you? If you don't know how to repent, go to confinement and think about your mistakes!"

Billy said terrifiedly:

"Master, this disciple will definitely not be like this next time, please forgive me, Master!"

Only then did the master let her go and said to the Taoists:

"In a few days, the empress will come to the temple to offer incense, and Daoneng will be responsible for the pick-up."

The three disciples Dao Neng heard it, and hurried forward:

"Yes, Master, this disciple will do his best to handle this matter well!"

Bi'er returned to her teacher's room, thinking back and forth in the room:

"What's the matter? Why did I fall asleep and wake up late for two days in a row? I didn't even hear the bell... Last night, I fell asleep earlier than usual, and in the morning, why did I still oversleep? What? The work and rest of the past two days have not changed much from usual, and I have no physical discomfort!"

She was thinking back and forth in the room, and suddenly her eyes caught sight of the teacup, her eyes fixed there and she walked over hesitantly.

What was in the teacup was the residual tea left over from drinking last night. She picked up the teacup and looked under the sunlight, and saw some fine powder on the edge of the teacup.

She wiped it with her fingers, and the powder got on her hands, and she twirled her fingers lightly, feeling sticky and slippery.

Bi'er wrapped the teacup and put it in a small box, walked out of the room, turned around and came to the Jiuxian Building on the east side behind Qingdu Temple, and found Zhang Daochang, the uncle who is good at medicine.

Bi Er took out the tea cup and asked her uncle to examine it.Uncle Zhang Daochang lifted the porcelain cup to his nose, first smelled it, then dipped his fingers in the remaining water, licked it with his tongue, and said:

"It's medicine, but it's just some medicine to help sleep. The two medicines are mixed, and the dose is increased. Do you know who gave the medicine?"

Bill nodded, and replied:

"know."

Zhang Daochang still said calmly:

"Then you should be more careful."
