Chapter 40 A Buddhist Bead
He Qing was suddenly grabbed by Duan Chenhui's wrist and was a little slow to react. After a while, he said, "I'm just keeping my promise."
Duan Chenhui still didn't let go, but he didn't use any force either. He Qing could break free if he struggled. He looked up at him. He had already given He Qing a chance, and also given each other a chance.
"What if my injury can never be healed in my lifetime?" Duan Chenhui said with a hint of meaning.
"I will cure the general." He Qing assured him seriously.
Duan Chenhui smiled and let go of his hand: "But this injury is only healed if I say it's healed."
He Qing was silent for a moment: "General Duan, you are being a rogue."
"Yes." Duan Chenhui nodded, "He Qing, I don't know how many years you have been in the world, but some karma cannot be repaid just because you want to." He paused and stared at him closely, "It's too late."
He Qing clenched his Buddhist beads, took a step back, hesitated for a moment but did not leave. He looked down at him and asked, "What does the general want?"
"Unless you can save me." Duan Chenhui narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his wheelchair back. "Qiao Yi told me that you Taoists pay a lot of attention to cause and effect and inner demons. Unfortunately, I have both."
He Qing stood there, watching Duan Chenhui walk further and further away. He was stunned for a moment and then slowly followed him: "What is the general's inner demon?"
"Guess?" Duan Chenhui smiled again, looked back at him, and didn't say anything else, just kept looking at him.
He Qing felt a little panicked when he was looked at by him, and he fiddled with the Buddhist beads faster. As a result, the beads suddenly broke the next second. He Qing's eyes changed color, and he watched the sandalwood beads scatter in front of his eyes and then spread all over the snow.
Duan Chenhui sighed as he looked at the Buddhist beads scattered all over the floor. He bent down to pick up one and held it in his palm: "The string of the beads is broken."
"Hmm..." He Qing closed his eyes slightly, and opened them again after a moment of silence. He lowered his head and calmly picked up the beads one by one, except for the one that Duan Chenhui was holding in his palm, which he did not take back.
Duan Chenhui did not return it to him, but put it in his pocket.
He Qing took a look at Duan Chenhui's clothes, and Duan Chenhui smiled at him: "I will return them to you after I get rid of my inner demons?"
He Qing paused for a moment: "Okay."
Duan Chenhui looked at him for a while and seemed to be in a good mood: "It's cold outside, come inside."
He Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally followed. After entering the gate, they were quietly watched by people.
He Qing didn't know that the family group had exploded.
Uncle San: [Why did Duan Chenhui bring back such a beautiful woman? ]
Third Aunt: [But it looks familiar...]
Second cousin: [I also feel that he looks familiar, but has big brother gotten over the shadow of divorce? ]
Xiaoliu: [Who among you will go to greet him? ]
Everyone: [You go ahead, hurry up. ]
Poor Xiaoliu Duanliu was pushed out. He walked carefully in front of Duan Chenhui and said, "Brother, who is this gentleman?"
"You can call him Mr. He." Duan Chenhui said seriously, "He is the leader of an adventure group."
"Oh, hello, Mr. He!" Duan Liu stared at He Qing for a while, and suddenly he remembered who this person looked like. Didn't he look like his ex-sister-in-law? Except that the hair and eye colors were different!
Duan Liu was shocked. Did his elder brother find a substitute?
Duan Chenhui saw Duan Liu's expression changing from time to time, so he knocked on the armrest to wake him up: "Xiao Liu, prepare a room for Mr. He."
"Oh, yes, I'll go right away." Seeing that his elder brother's face looked a little dark, Duan Liu quickly took the task and slipped away.
Qiao Yi saw Duan Chenhui tricking He Qing back upstairs and shook his head. He finally believed that He Qing was a young fairy who had not experienced much in the fairy world. However, Duan Chenhui did not know this yet...
Qiao Yi thought about it and decided not to tell Duan Chenhui, otherwise Duan Chenhui would feel guilty. He only told Duan Chenhui that He Qing was a Taoist.
Finally, He Qing was placed in a sunny room. He looked at the sunset and slowly strung the Buddhist beads together. However, there was one bead missing in the middle, which was very obvious when he fiddled with it.
He Qing touched the bead necklace. Unfortunately, there was a word engraved on the bead that was taken away by Duan Chenhui, but he didn't know how to get it back.
Just when he was worried, Sun Tu used the Xuan Guang Mirror to harass him: "He Qing, why haven't you come back for so long?"
"I was invited to stay at the Duan family."
"???!" Sun Tu stared at him with a look of disappointment, "You are still keeping in touch with him? Oh, you are a lotus root, and keeping in touch with him is your strong point!"
He Qing pursed her lips: "I have no choice, and the general also took my Buddhist beads away."
Sun Tu's eyes widened in disbelief. For Buddhist practitioners, Buddhist beads are not ordinary things! He looked around, but He Qing was not in a hurry. He was a eunuch, so there was no need for him to worry about him.
"Even if you live in the Duan family, you don't need your original body anymore?" Sun Tu still wanted him to ascend as soon as possible and take his family with him.
"I've taken it back." He Qing opened his hand, and a snow-white lotus seed lay in his palm.
Sun Tu stared at the lotus seeds and couldn't help drooling. He looked very greedy: "Have you heard of the story of fish eating lotus? Give me a petal."
“No.”
"mean."
He Qing planted the lotus seeds in a small round fish tank: "I will abandon this body after the He family worships their ancestors."
"Why do we have to wait so long?" Sun Tu really couldn't understand.
"Use this body to pay tribute to his parents." He Qing poured water on his own body.
"It's really troublesome. My body is better. He is just a little prince lying down." Sun Tu saw that he had already got the lotus seeds and stopped talking to him. "I'll call you when I have something else."
The Xuanguang mirror was removed. He Qing took the fish tank and went out to bask in the sun. He saw Duan Chenhui and Qiao Yi playing chess in the garden. He walked over and Qiao Yi looked up and winked at him: Should I leave or not? You can’t leave now! Ginger is still spicy with age!
He Qing looked down at the chessboard: "Teacher, you lost again."
"..." Qiao Yi suddenly waved his hands in anger, "I won't download it anymore. I'm tired."
Duan Chenhui put away the chessboard and saw what He Qing was holding and asked, "What are you raising?" And why did the lotus seeds inside look familiar?
"Ten thousand year old lotus seed." He Qing put the fish tank on the table. "Once upon a time, there was a man who picked up a lotus seed. Many people said that the lotus seed was dead. He didn't believe it, so he held the lotus seed in his hands day and night and prayed that it would sprout. One morning, he woke up and found..."
"What did you find?" Qiao Yi was so engrossed in listening that He Qing didn't even continue.
He Qing smiled and said, "I found that the lotus seed is missing."
"Stolen by a cat? Or taken away by a bird?" Qiao Yi thought this story was quite interesting and it might be talking about He Qing himself.
Duan Chenhui also found it interesting: "What is the result?"
"He was taken away by a fish." He Qing clasped his hands together, "and then fell to the mortal world."
"That fish is really heartless and deserves to be slaughtered." Qiao Yi almost wanted to laugh out loud. So this is how He Qing fell into this world?
"No, this was actually his first natural tribulation." After He Qing finished the story, he felt a little thirsty, so he took out the kettle to water himself.
Duan Chenhui looked at his lotus seed and smiled, "That's a good story. If this is that lotus seed, can it still sprout?"
"...It should be possible." He Qing touched himself, and he had grown very tall.
Qiao Yi held back his laughter: "But it seems to be delicious when used to make soup."
"..." He Qing picked up his original body and walked away, "I'm done basking in the sun. I'll go back first."
Duan Chenhui looked at his back, pondered for a moment, and opened the Star Network. Sure enough, he saw a new hot search: the lotus seeds in the Holy Grail were inexplicably stolen, and many people felt that the current person in charge was too irresponsible.
Duan Chenhui held his forehead with his hand: "What does he want lotus seeds for?"
Qiao Yi said heartlessly: "Maybe it's used as a medicine guide? Didn't he give you the elixir?"
Duan Chenhui also remembered what He Qing said about blooming. So he was waiting for the ten thousand year old lotus seeds to bloom? It seemed that he would have to wait for a long time. He glanced at the Internet again: "Although the lotus seeds are gone, the Holy Grail is still there."
"It's a pity that you look so good." Qiao Yi smiled. Duan Chenhui gave people the impression of being upright and incorruptible, but the mind of someone who could reach the position of general would not be so simple.
"No." Duan Chenhui denied, "I'm just glad that the Holy Grail is still there, so we can still hold the event."
Qiao Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Then you will be the referee?"
"Let's talk about it later." Duan Chenhui thought of He Qing, "Let's see if He Qing will participate."
"He has already got the lotus seeds... No, I said he is so Buddhist, he may not participate." Qiao Yi laughed.
Duan Chenhui also pretended not to hear and pushed his wheelchair back: "I'll go ask him."
After Duan Chenhui returned, he couldn't find He Qing in the room. He didn't know where He Qing had gone so quickly. It was not until the dinner break that he saw He Qing walking out slowly.
After observing for a few days, Duan Chenhui discovered that He Qing seemed to intentionally or unintentionally reduce the time they spent alone.
He finally caught him by the lake that day, but instead of asking why he was avoiding him, he asked, "Are you still participating in the diplomatic friendly game?"
"Can I still participate?" He Qing turned around and asked, "Isn't it a stain on me as a former suspect?"
"You haven't been convicted, so what kind of stain is that?" Duan Chenhui walked over and saw He Qing put the fish tank on the ice. The water inside was almost frozen. He now strongly doubted whether the lotus seed could still sprout.
"Well, then I'll ask Zhang Lin and the others first." He Qing bent down and picked up the lotus seeds and took them back.
Duan Chenhui looked back at the setting sun in the sky. It seemed that autumn was coming soon.
