Chapter 81
A few days after Wen Ci Qiu returned, he attended Jun Fenghuo's funeral. Because he died in the line of duty, his remains were buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery.
He had no body, but his military uniform and black-and-white photo were placed on a high platform in the center of the auditorium.
Jun Fenghuo's parents looked gloomy. No matter how hard they tried, their son still left them. Supported by his daughter and son-in-law, he accepted greetings from all the visitors.
Wen Ci Qiu looked at the black and white photo on the wall. It seemed that the person was not the same as the one in his memory. That person was about to be sealed from everyone's memory, and everyone was only worshiping that person's clothes.
It was drizzling when we came back. Walking in the sparsely populated villa complex, it felt a bit desolate.
In the same place, it was a sunny day and he saw someone wandering outside the door.
"Qiuqiu."
Wen Ciqiu stood at the gate in a daze. He heard the sound and at the same moment a large black object pounced on him, and he didn't have time to dodge. There were really few things in this world that he couldn't avoid, and this was one of them.
Today I went to pay respect to that man’s body, and I hung on to him like a large dog, my whole body overflowing with joy.
Wen Ci Qiu frowned slightly: "Why are you here?" He said that, but he was asking the two people behind Da Gouzi.
"Mr. Wen, there's no other way, we have to bring him here. After you left the institute, there has been no peace and quiet, and we are completely unable to communicate with him." When Mr. Wen was there, all kinds of experiments were well cooperated. As soon as Mr. Wen left, not to mention cooperation, they almost tore down the laboratory.
Wen Ci Qiu didn't want to see this face, so he thought they could handle it, so he left there. Who knew that this guy would actually chase him here.
In just a few days, this guy can already walk upright like a human and simulate the human heartbeat. He has a very strong learning ability.
The reason why he made such rapid progress was because Wen Ci Qiu used his energy to communicate directly with his energy waves. Every time he saw that Jun Fenghuo's face, he felt indescribably irritated.
I don’t know if it’s because of this incident, but this guy became very attached to him, and Qiuqiu became his exclusive name. I don’t know when he learned this word.
What made Wen Ci Qiu even more troubled was that in order to give this guy a comfortable space to grow up, they moved into Jun Fenghuo's former villa and lived near Wen Ci Qiu at all times.
At the same time, I also discovered that this guy would never enter the Rong family villa, and he was very well-behaved here, not at all like he was causing trouble in the research institute.
Wen Ciqiu probably understood something. Animals have a strong sixth sense, and in the animal world, the law of the jungle prevails; the weak can't stand up to the strong. So, this guy must have sensed his master's power and was acting docilely because he wanted to stay here.
Liu Jiayu and Yaya soon discovered that they had a new friend, a big guy they could play with.
From then on, they often sneaked into the big guy's house to watch cartoons together, play house, and teach the big guy to speak. It was so much fun.

The captain of the first team of the West District Public Security Bureau put down his newspaper and asked for it. He reluctantly said to the curious new member, "Don't pay attention to Jinshuize Community anymore. You were assigned to visit the place in the 481 missing person case. Have you completed it?"
The new team member was gossiping with the veterans, wondering what was going on in Jinshui's neighborhood. It was their former area, and the captain had caught them red-handed. He shrank back and replied, somewhat unconvincedly, "We've checked everywhere, and there's no clue at all."
"Then go for a second visit and search more carefully and seriously. I don't believe that a person covered in blood can disappear from people's sight." There was a large amount of blood at the scene of their crime, but no victim. That amount of blood was definitely lethal.
"Yes." The captain said this, and he ran around and talked a lot. After answering, he was still very busy. He grumbled dissatisfiedly, "It would be great if it was like what they wrote in the newspaper. If someone could just tell us the address, we could find the body."
It was a report in the newspaper that the captain just handed over. It was a case in another province. A man went to the police station to report that his daughter had died in a dry well owned by a fellow villager. The well had been filled up.
The person had been missing for several years, and not many people believed the sudden report. However, we had to take action after receiving the report. Everyone was skeptical and dug for an entire afternoon, and they actually dug out the body in the dry well.
When asked how the man knew where his daughter died, he said someone had given him some pointers. This was very fantastical and eye-catching, so it was written in the newspaper.
The old team member patted the new team member on the shoulder, and seeing that the captain's face was getting darker and darker, in order not to bring disaster to the fish pond, he quickly pulled the young man away.
"Hmph." The captain snorted in dissatisfaction as he watched the team members disappear in a flash. He picked up the newspaper on the table and continued reading the report he had just left. After finishing it, he couldn't help but humph, "Attention-grabbing stuff. If there really were such capable and righteous people, there wouldn't be so many unsolved cases in this world."

The outside world doesn't know, but in the metaphysical world, there has been a widely circulated rumor recently that the elder Jie Sha of the White Lotus Temple has broken through the acquired great success and entered the realm of transformation. The arrangements for his death that the White Lotus Temple had already made have directly turned into various social engagements.
Even fellow Taoists who had been hiding in the mountains for who knows how long came out to the White Lotus Temple to offer congratulations. So recently, people in strange clothes were often seen riding vehicles and heading to the White Lotus Temple from all directions. People thought that the White Lotus Temple was holding some kind of ceremony.
Speaking of this monk who abstained from killing, he was also an extraordinary person. His age could not be verified. He was originally a butcher who made a living by slaughtering pigs. Later, the situation became chaotic and his entire family except the butcher was killed. Killing pigs then became killing people.
Later, he met a monk who was parading and was moved by him, so he became a monk. Later, foreigners invaded and burned down the temple. No old monks or young monks were spared. After returning from chopping firewood in the mountains, he once again raised his butcher knife until the end of the war.
There were not many people in the country at that time, and he insisted on becoming a monk, so he was assigned to be the abbot of Bailian Temple. The domestic situation was stable, and society was getting better and better. Jie Sha gave up the responsibility of abbot, devoted himself to practice, and had a premonition of his death. He then entered the state of enlightenment, and countless people came to visit him for advice.
From that year on, a lotus pond grew in front of the residence of the elder of the White Lotus Temple. The lotus flowers were snow-white, even the leaves were white. It looked more like they were carved from white jade. The words "it's rare and exotic" were so rare that ordinary people couldn't even see them. The one who was in charge here was the elder Jiesha.
Only by overcoming difficulties and working hard can the monks sit around the lotus pond to meditate and chant scriptures.
Of course, this is not exclusive to the White Lotus Temple. Anyone who can come in to visit or practice meditation must meet certain conditions.
