Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

Zhang Qiling and the black glasses turned around and saw a lama standing in the gate, who looked like a middle-aged man.He put his hands together in front of his chest, bowed slightly to salute them, and said: "Your guests have traveled here, why don't you go in and have a rest and have a cup of tea."

"Master, you're being polite," the black glasses said with a smile, "We've come here, and we don't plan to stay for long."

The lama said: "The heavy snow has just closed the mountain, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. The distinguished guest must have some important business to come here?"

"That's it." Zhang Qiling looked at the distance and said lightly, "I should have been here before, I feel very familiar with this place."

"In this case, it's not too late for the two distinguished guests to go to the temple and have a cup of buttered tea for a short break before leaving," the lama asked.

The black glasses raised eyebrows and looked at Lama, sized him up without any trace, suddenly smiled meaningfully, and looked at Zhang Qiling, "What do you think?"

Zhang Qiling returned his indifferent look.

"Then disturb your monastery." Black Glasses knew what the other party meant, so he said back to the lama.

"Where, it's rare for a distinguished guest to come to Bi Temple." The Lama made a gesture of invitation, "Please come with me."

The lama led the two people into the higher temple building of the temple, went up a wooden ladder, passed several rooms with the same layout, and finally stopped outside a room. The lama pushed the room open. Door.

After looking around the room, the black glasses followed Zhang Qiling and walked in.

There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the room, which smells very refreshing.The windows were closed and the room didn't look very bright.The surrounding shelves are full of scriptures.

The lama walked to the table, asked Zhang Qiling and the black glasses to sit down, took the luggage and put it aside.

The soft felt is comfortable to walk on.A lot of felt is also hung on the wall to block the moisture.

"Do you want to enter the mountain?" the lama asked while pouring tea.

"How does Master know?" Black Glasses asked casually after taking a sip of tea.

"The two of you came here at this time of year, probably not for fun," the lama said with a smile. "There have been people who came at this time before, and they usually went into the mountains."

Zhang Qiling, who had been silent all this time, finally asked, "Has anyone else been here recently?"

The lama was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and said: "There were before the heavy snow closed the mountains, and most of them came for tourism and pilgrimage. After that, no one came."

Zhang Qiling and Black Glasses listened quietly to his speech, and didn't say anything else.

The window was opened suddenly, and it was blown by the cold wind, and the warmth in the room was also blown away, and a few bits of snow and white came in.

The lama walked quickly to the window and saw snow falling silently outside.After closing the window, he turned around and said, "It's snowing again. It's been snowing for the past few days. The road into the mountain has accumulated a thick layer of snow. It's very difficult to go there."

The black glasses picked up the cup and drank the tea, then said, "It's really troublesome."

The lama said: "The snow melts quickly on a sunny day. It is better for distinguished guests to wait for the snow to melt before leaving. In the past few days, the snow has melted more during the day, and the snow has fallen more often but less. When the road is better, it will be faster to leave." some."

"Master, there don't seem to be many lamas in your temple." The black glasses asked something completely irrelevant.

"Uh," the lama was stunned for a moment, and after he realized it, he asked doubtfully, "Why do you ask so?"

"I haven't seen anyone else since I came in." The black glasses said casually, smoothing the hair on his forehead.

"Most of them are chanting scriptures in the Fashi Pavilion. The temple is not very busy during this time. It is a room for entertaining distinguished guests, and it is a little far away from the place where the lamas are active." The lama said.

"Oh." The black glasses nodded, looked at Zhang Qiling as if pointing out: "Why don't we leave tomorrow, it looks like it's still a bit troublesome."

Zhang Qiling glanced at him, and then replied "Yes".

Seeing that they were going to stay temporarily, the lama said, "Do you want to stay, two honored guests?"

The black glasses nodded: "Will it disturb the master?"

The lama said with a smile: "All distinguished guests are welcome, and we welcome them. Then please let one of you go with me to the other room."

The black glasses froze for a moment, then looked at Zhang Qiling.The other party didn't respond, just stared at the ceiling without saying a word, wondering if he was thinking about something.

The black glasses raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled: "No, we can live in one room, and you don't have to trouble the master."

The lama bowed and said, "The distinguished guest, please rest." He walked over to open the door, closed the door again after walking out, and left.

After the lama left, the black glasses stood up and walked around the room. Then he picked up a scroll on the bookcase and turned two pages. He felt bored and put it back. He picked up another scroll and asked while reading: " Did you remember anything?"

Zhang Qiling withdrew his gaze from the ceiling, lowered his eyelids, and said, "No, it's just very familiar."

Black Glasses put down his things, walked over to sit down, picked up the teapot, but found that there was no tea in it, and saw that Zhang Qiling had only drank a little tea, so he reached out and took his tea.He sealed his mouth at the place where Zhang Qiling drank, and finished drinking the tea.

The whole movement is done neatly and naturally, without any awkwardness.

While drinking tea, Zhang Qiling kept staring at Zhang Qiling from the corner of his eye with black glasses, but he always had that expressionless and emotionally paralyzed face, so he didn't care at all.

The black glasses couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at Zhang Qiling's side face with black glasses, making it impossible to see his emotions under the sunglasses.

After staring at Zhang Qiling like that for a long time, the black glasses got up and walked to the window, half opened to let the light shine in.

The whole temple is very quiet, and occasionally a lama walks by in the distance.

The cold wind brought scattered snowflakes, which landed silently and melted into dots.

Zhang Qiling looked out of the window, got up and walked out after a while.The black glasses were puzzled, so they had no choice but to follow behind.

"Did you drop something?" Black Glasses asked.

"No." Zhang Qiling stood outside and looked carefully at each room.

Sensing what he was doing, the black glasses said: "You really don't worry."

Zhang Qiling walked through the houses, trying to find some familiar feeling from them.He remembered that he had been here, but he forgot why he came here, or what he left behind.

But after looking at many places, I still didn't find anything.

until you reach the last house.This room is at the end of this corridor with wooden pillars, and its layout is similar to the others, except that the windows are blocked by felt, and a corner is blown up by the wind from time to time, revealing the dark room inside.

Feeling that strange sense of familiarity in his heart, Zhang Qiling raised his hand and held the doorknob, not caring about the dust on it, but when he was about to push it open, there was a sound of pushing the door not far away.

The door of a room on the diagonally opposite side of the corridor suddenly opened, and the lama came out from it, holding the agarwood tray with the tea set in his hand, he looked around carefully, and left quickly after finding no one.

The location where Zhang Qiling was was happened to be in a blind spot, and the situation here could not be seen from that side.

"I'll go take a look." The black glasses on the side looked at Zhang Qiling, and then walked over there.

Zhang Qiling turned his head, opened the door and walked into the room.The furnishings in the dimly lit room were ordinary, and nothing seemed different.

On the table by the window was a scroll of scriptures unfolded, covered with a layer of dust.

Stepping forward, gently wiping off the dust, Zhang Qiling looked at the contents above.

It is said to be a scripture scroll, but the contents inside are not scriptures, but some notes and events recorded with a pen.

Zhang Qiling watched quietly, the light and dark in his eyes changing.

Hei Glasses came back after inquiring about the situation. He couldn't bear to wait outside, and he still hadn't come out after a long time.Just as he was about to go in, Zhang Qiling came out.

"What did you find?" Black Glasses asked.

Zhang Qiling closed the door and said, "I should know an old lama here, but I don't know if he's still here."

"Would you like to ask?" Black Glasses asked.

Zhang Qiling thought for a while, "No, go to the mountain as soon as possible tomorrow."

Black Glasses nodded, looked at the entire courtyard, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Let's deal with the matter here first, those people have followed here all the way, and they have been lurking for so long, it really took great pains."
