On how to pursue a Buddhist teacher

"Hey, student, we're here." The driver looked in the rearview mirror, and the boy in the back seat slowly opened his eyes and looked at the brightly lit and colorful streets outside. And impatience, but almost instantly this emotion was taken back by him, he calmly took out his wallet, paid the money, and opened the car door "Thank you."

"It's quite polite." The driver looked at the boy's back regretfully, thinking in his heart, looking at such a gentle student, why did he come to such a place.

Xu Baibi, who was regarded as a lost youth, stood in the middle of the road in Jinglong Book City. On the left was a row of colorful Internet cafes and game halls. On the door hung a signboard of ten wallet night, which was extremely low-key. In KTV and dance halls, the exaggerated sound and lights are trying to attract guests.He stood in the middle of the road and hesitated for a moment, then walked to the right.

"Hey, handsome guy, do you want to sing karaoke?" Seeing someone coming in, the front desk clerk blurted out habitually. She looked away from the phone, raised her head casually, and then froze for a moment.

Among the countless chicken-nest heads, afro-headed, impetuous and self-righteous idiot teenagers coming and going, this good boy in front of me is really amazing, with clean short hair, a thin and angular face, and no excessive decorations on his body , full of a quiet temperament that is incompatible with the whole body.

Her voice became gentle three times when she didn't realize it, and she said with a smile, "Is there something wrong? Little brother"

"Excuse me." Xu Baibi glanced at the curtain of the KTV, "How do I get to the basement?"

"what?"

"Basement" Xu Baibi repeated

"Go out and go straight, the stairs at the corner go down." She hesitated, "There is nothing in that basement, did you find the wrong one?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw that the boy had already nodded and walked out. She couldn't help but look at him worriedly.

The basement of Jinglong Book City was originally a game hall. The boss used to be a local snake in this area. Later, something happened and he was locked behind bars. It is said that he will be in there for most of his life. The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the employees of the game hall They didn't dare to get involved with the boss, they all left after sharing the money, and the basement was abandoned.

After a long time, this basement was left unattended, and it gradually became a place for these young people from society to fight.

It's not the first time Qi Liang came here, he sat impatiently on the sofa, unskillfully holding a cigarette in his right hand, and didn't smoke, just watched the fire burning quietly,

In the dark basement, a young boy with a young face is sitting alone in the shadows, the light of the fingertips is faintly visible. This is really like a scene in a movie. It is the most popular youth movie on the market in the next ten years, full of moaning Melancholy and exaggerated pain.

But Qi Liang will not realize his stupidity until ten years later, and now he only thinks the other party is a stupid one.

The appointment time was nine o'clock, and now half an hour has passed.Isn't this idiot cowardly?Qi Liang checked the time again, and finally stood up from the sofa.

At this moment, clear and rhythmic footsteps came from the stairs, "Why are you here so late?" Qi Liang shouted impatiently.

The footsteps stopped suddenly, and Qi Liang realized that something was wrong. He had been released by Zhang Baizhou, and he was fighting alone, but that idiot in No. [-] Middle School must have brought someone with him, and the footsteps could not be so loud. Light, he subconsciously looked up and was stunned.

"Why are you?" He asked in surprise.

On the spiral staircase with rusted handrails, his new deskmate and new roommate he just met today stood condescendingly, looking at him with a blank expression.The look down from that angle cast coldly on Qi Liang, making him unhappy for no reason.He keenly felt the contempt and disdain in the other party's gaze.

Standing on the stairs, Xu Baibi had a panoramic view of the abandoned game hall. Qi Liang was the only one in the empty and quiet space, and he frowned suspiciously.

"Why are you here?" Qi Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not following me, are you?"

"No." Xu Baibi ignored the doubts in his heart, walked down the stairs, and said concisely, "I don't have the key to the dormitory." He stretched out his hand very naturally, opened his palm and stretched it out in front of Qi Liang, "Give me the key."

Qi Liang felt that he had encountered countless idiots in his life, and this was the first time he met such a unique one, so he said helplessly for a while, "You came here just because of a broken key?"

Xu Baibi didn't speak.

At this moment, another voice came from upstairs, Qi Liang was taken aback for a moment, is it that idiot from No.[-] Middle School?

The voice moved from far to near, and the voice gradually became clearer.

"It's a new product today, and I took a risk," the man seemed to complain

"What are you talking about?" Another person said with a smile, "I still need your money."

Qi Liang secretly had a bad idea in his heart, and before he had time to think about it, he dragged Xu Baibi to hide behind the nearest abandoned shooting machine.

He made individual gestures to Xu Baibi, and saw two men coming down the stairs one after the other, the short man in front scanned the basement vigilantly, Qi Liang couldn't help but hold his breath, luckily This shooting machine is a blind spot, and the opponent didn't notice their existence.

"Hurry up," the tall man behind urged.

The short man smiled, "Don't worry." He took out a transparent bag from his pocket, "Do you want to try the goods here?"

From Qi Liang's point of view, he couldn't see the contents of the transparent bag clearly, but he already knew very well that nine out of ten it was drugs. For the drug deal.

No matter how daring Qi Liang is, he also knows that addicts and drug dealers are not easy to mess with. He and Xu Baibi hid here and saw the process of each other's drug dealing. If they were discovered, it would be difficult to escape.

How is it so unfortunate?Qi Liang couldn't help feeling a bit of doubt in his heart, the time and place were set by the person from No. [-] Middle School, and the other party didn't come for a long time, but there was a drug deal.

And this person, Qi Liang turned his head and glanced at Xu Baibi, remembering that the other party came here to get the key, he felt worried, what kind of luck is this, to catch up with this crap.

He squeezed Xu Baibi's hand, and when the other party looked over, Qi Liang mouthed, "Run first."

It was already ten o'clock at night, and only a few dim lights were on in the basement. Two boys were huddled behind the basketball machine. Outside were dangerous addicts and drug dealers. They were so close that they could clearly feel Feel the other person's body temperature and the incomparably clear heartbeat in the silence.

The other party's temperature was transmitted from his hand, Xu Baibi turned his head, and seeing Qi Liang's expression of course, "You run first", he couldn't help but feel moved.

At that moment, there seemed to be something flashing across his heart, neither light nor heavy, like a breeze shaking a lotus leaf, and tiny ripples appeared on the water.

Then the ripples disappeared, and Xu Baibi thought blankly, Qi Liang really read too many comic books, his brain is not working well, it's fine to treat himself as a lonely hero, and the plot of the hero saving the beauty is also misplaced.

As for Qi Liang's proposal, he was noncommittal and remained silent.

.............

"Would you like to try it now?" the short man urged

"Is it safe here?" The tall man looked around worriedly,

"What if someone comes down suddenly, forget it, let's change the place"

"Let's go then"

As the footsteps gradually disappeared, Qi Liang let out a long breath.

"The legs are numb from squatting." Qi Liang grabbed the armrest of the shooting machine, supported one leg, and stood up with difficulty.

"Are you okay?" He looked at Xu Baibi, but saw that the other party had stood up, which was obviously better than his embarrassed appearance.

Qi Liang pursed his lips, pretended to be nonchalant and shook his legs, "Let's go".
