Scroll of Seven Sorrows

Qi Hongkuo wanted to cooperate with Xie Bi'an and the others, but it wasn't just for fun.He actually seriously regarded the two children who were still in elementary school as his allies, and seriously analyzed and discussed their future goals with them.

The three made an appointment to meet at a dessert shop on the corner the next morning. When the black and white two arrived, Qi Hongkuo had already ordered a cup of coffee and sat there.

"You guys are here, order something you like, I'll treat you." Qi Hongkuo handed the dessert list to Fan Wujiu.

Fan Wujiu handed the list to Xie Bian again, and Xie Bian ordered a cup of mango tea that Ba Ye liked, and ordered a piece of Black Forest cake for himself, before he asked, "Uncle, why did Chen Xiaoyu say that she was Qi Wen's mother yesterday?" , would you say 'you really are'? What are you doubting?"

"I'm suspecting that the woman yesterday wasn't Chen Xiaoyu at all."

"Have you never seen Chen Xiaoyu before?" Fan Wujiu took a sip of mango tea, felt a little sour, frowned and drank it anyway.

Qi Hongkuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Chen Xiaoyu is my sister-in-law, how could I have never seen her before?"

"Then where does your suspicion come from?" Xie Bi'an asked.

Qi Hongkuo said: "Chen Xiaoyu has a twin sister who has been living abroad. My brother and the others had an accident when they were visiting Chen Xiaoyu's sister in a foreign country. There were four people in the car when the accident happened, because Wen Wen and Chen Xiaoyu were sitting in the back seat. survived."

"So you suspect that the person who survived was not Chen Xiaoyu at all, but her sister?"

Qi Hongkuo nodded and said: "I'm so skeptical. I've seen the photos, and there is almost no difference between Chen Xiaoyu and her sister, and after the accident, I always feel that Chen Xiaoyu is a little different from before, but I can't tell exactly what is different .And I think Chen Xiaoyu likes my brother very much. My brother just found such a boyfriend after he died a few years ago."

"Since Chen Xiaoyu is exactly the same as her sister, how did you determine that the survivor was Chen Xiaoyu and not her sister?" Xie Bi'an continued to ask.

"The clothes she was wearing at that time were the same as what Chen Xiaoyu was wearing before leaving the hotel, and she herself said she was Chen Xiaoyu."

"So, 'Chen Xiaoyu' may not be the real Chen Xiaoyu." Fan Wujiu concluded with a blink of an eye.

Xie Bi'an looked at the soft and cute Eighth Master, a bit like kneading.But Qi Hongkuo was scrupled, so he could only control himself secretly, and asked, "What's the name of Chen Xiaoyu's younger sister?"

"My name is Chen Xiaoping, Ping from a life of ups and downs." Qi Hongkuo said.

"Chen Xiaoping?! Xiaoping?" Xie Bi'an exclaimed, "Are you sure? Chen Xiaoping?"

Qi Hongkuo replied: "There is nothing I can't be sure of. I saw her name when I claimed the body."

"Zhao Feizhou is Chen Xiaoyu's boyfriend who always calls Chen Xiaoyu Xiaoping."

"Then my guess seems to be correct." Qi Hongkuo showed a smug smile.

All the speculations seemed to be reasonable, but Xie Bi'an always felt that something was wrong.

Isn't that a little too easy.

Qi Hongkuo's appearance seemed to be specifically to tell the two of them about this matter.If Qi Hongkuo didn't come out at such a time, it would be absolutely impossible for them to find out about Chen Xiaoping so quickly, at least absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, Xie Bi'an subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Qi Hongkuo, and saw that he was holding coffee, his brows were slightly frowned, showing a very impatient expression, as if saying "Cut, trouble".

Could it be him?

So he is the man behind the modification of the scroll?That can all be well explained.He was able to revise the small scroll because the small scroll originally belonged to them.

Xie Bi'an restrained himself from thinking about it, and then said: "But we have to find strong evidence to prove that 'Chen Xiaoyu' is Chen Xiaoping, otherwise she won't admit it."

"Okay, I'm going to go abroad for a few days to find out if there are any omissions in the previous accident. By the way, I will ask Chen Xiaoping's previous acquaintances to see if I can find a breakthrough. As for you, you can watch Qi Wen here. , you can also go to Chen Xiaoyu's hometown to see if there is any gain." Said Qi Hongkuo handed Xie Bi'an a note, and then left the dessert shop.

After he left, Xie Bi'an opened the note, which contained the specific address of Chen Xiaoyu's hometown, which was in a small third- and fourth-tier town.

Fan Wujiu leaned over to take a look, and said with a puzzled face, "Qiye, he..." Why would he leave the important matter of going back to Chen Xiaoyu's hometown to two children?How dare he?Unless...unless he knows who we are.

Xie Bi'an directly covered Fan Wujiu's mouth, and shouted at him: "Don't say it!"

Then he quickly found a notebook and a pen, and wrote on it: Don't say anything, don't think about anything.

Fan Wujiu stared blankly at Xie Bi'an, took the pen and wrote: Why?

Xie Bi'an continued to write: He can know our thoughts and hear us.you know he is...

Fan Wujiu frowned and wrote: Listen carefully?

Listening Truth is the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who distinguishes all things by hearing, and is especially good at listening to people's hearts.Back then, Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque made troubles in the Three Realms without distinguishing the true from the false. In the whole world, except for the Tathagata, in the end, there was only Ting Ting to separate the two by listening to the voice of the heart.

Xie Bi'an Fuer: Don't mention this name, he is the most sensitive to his own name, be careful that even our writing will be discovered by him.

Fan Wujiu: Then he is one of us, why did he sneak around?

Xie Bi'an: That's because the bodhisattva has ghosts in his heart.

Fan Wujiu:? ? ?

Xie Bi'an: Please, Ba Ye, don't ask.I still don't have a firm grasp of this matter, and jumping to conclusions has a bad impact on the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism.No matter how you say he is a Bodhisattva, we two are just ghost commanders in the underworld, if he offends, if the higher-ups come to find us, we will be done for.

"Good boy, I just fell in love, I don't want to lose my mind so early." Xie Bi'an pinched Fan Wujiu's face, Fan Wujiu's face with the body of a child still had baby fat, so it was very comfortable to pinch.

Fan Wujiu could only stop further questioning, and just said: "But if something serious happens, you can't take it on your own."

"It's no big deal, don't overthink it, at best it's just revenge." Xie Bi'an comforted Fan Wujiu.

Although Xie Bi'an's tone was light, being retaliated by the Bodhisattva is actually not a trivial matter at all.

Today's human beings have very few beliefs, and Taoism is even more declining. It is regarded as a "feudal remnant", and even the local people despise it a bit.It is not comparable to Buddhism. Although there are fewer monks, there is a lot of incense during the festivals. When the common people encounter disasters and diseases, they will put their hands together, burn incense and worship Buddha, saying "Bodhisattva blesses".Although Taoism and Buddhism have lost their glory in the past, Buddhism is still too strong after all.

The impermanence of black and white originally symbolizes the yin and yang of Tai Chi, and Xie Bi'an is even more sensitive to the current situation of the Taoist sect. He is afraid that if he thinks he is smart, he will once again become enmity with the Buddhist sect.Thousands of years ago, they were able to "destroy the Buddha", maybe thousands of years later, the Buddha will be able to "destroy the Dao".

If people lose Tao, there will still be Buddha, and even if there is no Buddha, there will still be other beliefs, and the world will not fall into chaos.But Xie Bi'an didn't know what would happen to them and the gods in the sky if one day they lost the people who believed in them and no one followed the "Tao".

"Ba Ye, let's go." Xie Bi'an said to Fan Wujiu.

Fan Wujiu asked: "Where are you going?"

"Of course I went to the hometown of Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Xiaoping, where else can I go?" Xie Bi'an said.

Fan Wujiu looked out through the French windows of the dessert shop. There were people coming and going on the street, but no one would know that the ghost of impermanence that only existed in storybooks and grandma's bedtime stories was separated by a transparent layer. Glass, looking at them with a mentality that he can't figure out.

Xie Bi'an knew that what he had just said had disturbed Fan Wujiu's thoughts, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't say everything without being sure, and he didn't want to deceive Fan Wujiu.But once the words are vague, Fan Wujiu will definitely think about it again.He couldn't think of a way to have both.

"The two of us? How do we get there? Can the train station sell tickets to two children?" Fan Wujiu finally came back to his senses and asked Youyou.

"It's okay. In the world at this time, you don't need an ID card to buy a train ticket. You can get a ticket with money." Xie Bi'an said.

The two of them bought the cheapest green leather car, because the green leather car is relatively simple and the management is loose, and you can get tickets from the ticket dealers without having to go to the ticket office to buy them. It is easy for two children to get on the car.

"Baye, you see that technology has been improving over the years. Last time we took the train, we bought the highest-end seat, but it was much more difficult than this time." Xie Bi'an sat on the seat, and there were passengers across the way under his feet. "It's actually quite scary when you think about it carefully. They have been riding in horse-drawn carriages for thousands of years, but in just a few decades, there are cars, trains, and planes."

"They seem to be running long distances." Fan Wujiu continued, "When they first entered the track, they ran very fast and invented a lot of useful things. Then the speed became slower and slower, and even seemed to be stagnant at first glance. Now And suddenly started sprinting again."

"Ahead may be the starting point of a brighter civilization, or it may be the end of the entire human civilization." Xie Bi'an squinted and smiled, and there was a coldness in this smile, "Everything is unknown, including the future fate of our Daoism."

"But Qi Ye, you said that even if human beings perish, no one in the world believes in Taoism, and our souls perish, we may still exist in another form in the world. You were not afraid of it."

"I wasn't afraid then, but now I am. When I said this, I was alone, but now I have you." Xie Bi'an said.

Fan Wujiu grabbed Xie Bi'an's hand, interlocked his fingers, shook his head: "No, Seventh Master, this is wrong. You have never been alone."

"Yes, I was wrong." Xie Bi'an held back Fan Wujiu's hand tightly.

He suddenly felt that there were some things that he should not have worried about.His boss handed him the Scroll of Seven Sufferings, and he just needs to honestly fulfill the boss’s instructions. As for the truth behind these tasks, and why the Bodhisattva sent Di Ting to revise the scroll so eagerly, these things are not important. important.

The train has arrived.
