Bai Zhun indeed did not have his previous vigor. It was probably due to his illness that he was not as sharp as before.
However, his temperament did not change. He still wore a black mask on his face. He got out of the car and looked at the cars in front of him. Then, he raised his hand to look at his watch.
"Call home and tell Grandpa not to worry. I will be there on time."
Vice Commander Zhang knew he was going to walk over when he saw what he did, so he quickly followed behind him.
Fortunately, the road was not far. It was less than a kilometer from the village entrance. After entering the village, there was an ancient-looking bluestone path.
Bai Zhun stood there, attracting many people's attention.
He pulled out the address stored in his phone and walked in front of a villager. He coughed lightly and asked, "Granny, do you know how to get to this place?"
The old man was speaking in a local dialect. He puffed out his cheeks and replied.
Only then did he know that this granny could not read at all.
Because the place was not easy to find, Bai Zhun could only ask people one by one in the village. A buzzing voice came from the mask. When people heard it, they were also anxious for him.
It was not easy for an uncle to come. He looked at the address on the phone and said that he would bring Bai Zhun there.
It turned out that the person who owned the Purple Jade Buddha head was an eminent monk who traveled all over the world. Recently, he had settled down here.
When Bai Zhun heard this, he immediately followed.
It was a very ordinary little courtyard house. The flowers and plants in the courtyard house were all covered in snow. Only uncle Dong Qing was still a little green.
Bai Zhun had just walked in when he heard a voice from the courtyard, "Amitabha. It's not that I don't want to give this Purple Jade Buddha's head to you, but the evil aura on you is too strong. Even if you get the Buddha's head, you will destroy it."
Evil aura?
A trace of doubt appeared on Bai Zhun's face, which was wearing a mask.
If the evil energy was too strong, it did not mean that he had killed many people. Instead, it was related to the people and things that he had come into contact with.
Those who did not have a bottom line would easily have evil energy in their hearts.
However, he had never believed in these things from the beginning until the end.
Until he adopted Ajiu.
There were some things that you would rather believe in than not believe in until you met an important person.
When he thought of this, Bai Zhun's dark eyes flashed.
Then he heard someone in the room say, "The young benefactor outside should also be here for my Purple Jade Buddha. Why don't you come in first?"
Bai Zhun did not hesitate. He walked over the steps and saw the scene in the room.
In front of the wooden square table sat an eminent monk. He was wearing a monk's robe and was not very outstanding.
However, the man sitting opposite him was too handsome. His skin was so white that it seemed as if it could shine. He was dressed in a straight black suit with a bunch of dark red roses in the pocket of the suit, his slender hands wrapped in pure white gloves. It was easy to think of a movie that was once popular all over the world, 'Visiting the Vampire at Night'.
"Amitabha." The eminent monk recited the scriptures to the man. "Benefactor, the Buddha always says the word 'fate'. There are some things that can not be forced."
The man lowered his eyes and curled his lips. A cup of tea swirled between his fingers. "You want to talk about fate with me?"
When the eminent monk heard this, his expression seemed to turn ugly for a moment. However, he was more afraid as if he recognized the man's identity. "You, you..."
Bai Zhun reached out and held the eminent monk's back. He wore a black mask on his face as he looked at the man with his pitch-black eyes. He was neither servile nor overbearing.
The eminent monk chanted Amitabha again. "Young benefactor, I have no way of agreeing to your request today. There is nothing for you here to begin with. Young benefactor, it's better for you to leave quickly."
"I won't leave until I get the Buddha's head." Bai Zhun stood at the side. He was wearing a pure white woolen coat. His figure was slender and his aura did not weaken in the slightest.
The eminent monk wanted to push him out, but his eyes were vigilant as he looked at the man opposite him. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but a flood or a fierce beast.
The man only supported his chin with one hand and looked at the eminent monk with an indifferent expression. "It seems that you've recognized me. In that case, don't waste any more time. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that there won't be anyone bleeding in this room."
The senior monk knew that he was using Bai Zhun's life to threaten him.
"It's not that this penniless monk is unwilling to hand over the Buddha's head, but that the Buddha's head will be destroyed in the hands of His Highness in an instant." The senior monk pressed his palms together. "At that time, the Buddha's head will be meaningless."
The man tapped his fingers on the table. He could sense that the Buddha's head was in this room, but at the same time, he could also sense that the Buddha's aura was being suppressed by him to a certain extent.
It seemed that the Old Baldy was not lying. The Purple Jade Buddha's head would only be destroyed if he had it.
The eyes of a certain Highness, who had wanted to bring his daughter home earlier, darkened. He stood up and glanced at Bai Zhun, who was standing at the side.
The eminent monk thought that he was going to make a move, so he quickly turned his body to the side.
However, the certain Highness did not go on a killing spree as he had thought. Instead, he walked out of the room as if there was no one else around and coldly said, "Go."
Many bat-like birds rose up from the beam in the room.
Black feathers fluttered down.
Bai Zhun stretched out his hand to block in front of his eyes. When he turned his head, he saw that the eminent monk seemed to have let out a sigh of relief as he sat back on the wooden chair.
First of all, the road had been blocked for so long.
It was snowing outside again, but there was actually not a single trace of snow on that man's body.
How did he get over such a blocked road?
Moreover, what was with those bats?
Bai Zhun had always been a idealist. Other than himself, he did not believe in any gods or ghosts. If it was not because of Ajiu, he would not even believe in Buddha's fate.
However, these phenomena that could not be explained with his usual knowledge made Bai Zhun suspect the identity of the man.
Who... was he?
Chapter 1243 - His Highness Meets (2)
"Amitabha." When the eminent monk saw that the man had left, he stood up and pushed the teacup beside him. As the teacup spun, a Buddha's head the size of a pearl rose from the wooden table. "Ever since the Purple Jade Buddha entered the world, he could not avoid the disturbances. In order to avoid this calamity, I have spread the religion all over the world. Now that I am old and will pass away soon, I should have given this mission to someone with Buddhist affinity, but now it seems that I won't be able to hold on until that time. Since he has his eyes on me, it should be difficult for me to escape. The young benefactor's morality is also suitable for this Buddha's head."
As he spoke, the eminent monk handed the Purple Jade to Bai Zhun. He put his palms together and chanted, "Amitabha." After that, he did not speak anymore and sat there meditating.
The value of the Purple Jade Buddha's head was very high.
Vice Commander Zhang had prepared a large sum of money, but to his surprise, the young master had already gotten what he wanted the moment he entered with the small suitcase.
Bai Zhun glanced at him and said indifferently, "Let's go. Don't disturb
the eminent monk's rest."
Vice Commander Zhang lifted the suitcase and asked, "What about this money?"
"I don't need it anymore." Bai Zhun was the first to walk out of the courtyard. His nasal voice was still very strong, and even his head was a little heavy. Every joint of his was aching because of a bad cold.
Haven gotten into the car, the road ahead was still blocked.
Bai Zhun put the Buddha's head on his wrist. He glanced at Chauffeur Li who was sitting in front and seemed to have thought of something. He asked, "I haven't passed the car since I entered?"
"Yes," Chauffeur Li said as he turned the steering wheel. "Young master, don't be anxious. The road is indeed difficult today. I think it will take some time for us to get out of this road."
Bai Zhun lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. He just reached out and pressed on the space between his eyebrows.
How did that man come?
How did he disappear?
"Young master, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Vice commander Zhang asked from the side.
Bai Zhun put on his mask and looked out of the window. "No, let's go back as soon as possible."
"Yes." Vice Commander Zhang closed the car door.
They didn't know that on the mountain peak above their heads, a man wearing a black suit was playing with the single rose in his hand. He was looking down at the traffic that was congested into a dragon. The corners of his mouth curved into a devilish arc.
That man wasn't anyone else. It was precisely what Bai Zhun saw in the high monk's room. It was also the Devil's three palaces, Baili Jiajue.
Behind him seemed to be churning countless clouds. What was hidden in those clouds, no one could see clearly.
Only beside his voice, an ancient divine beast, Huo Qilin, that was similar to a lion but was three times bigger than the lion's head, was swinging its tail. Its mouth opened and closed, "Master, is the Purple Jade Buddha's head going to be given to this human just like that?"
It was not just something that fell from Mount Tianmi.
When the true Buddha appeared in the human world, he had shone the Buddha's light on this Purple Jade, which was how the Buddha's head came into being.
Ever since she sent the little master away, the princess had been looking for this Buddha's head.
Master wanted to snatch the Buddha's head from the princess and give her a surprise.
After all, with it, the little master wouldn't have to wait until the year of reincarnation to return home.
As long as he wore the Buddha's head, he should be able to live safely with the little master and the others.
But for the past few days, he didn't know what was going on.
The little master seemed to have a grudge with someone. He tortured some restless demons in the Devil World several times. He wanted to get close to the little master, but he was afraid that the Devil's aura on his body would be too strong.
In the end, he sat on the stone steps and pressed his phone to deflate. He didn't know who he was sending wechat messages to.
It was hard on his manager. Recently, he couldn't wait to knock on the door of his master's office every day.
Now, he finally found this Buddha's head.
How could master give up just like that?
This wasn't like his usual unreasonable style at all!
"His surname is Bai." Baili Jiajue withdrew his gaze, as if he saw through the thoughts of the Huo Qilin, and looked over with a gaze.
The Huo Qilin seemed to tremble, and then began to work hard to reduce his own sense of existence.
Baili Jiajue continued to speak, "I have always hated the sight of Shi Jia and me. That bit of Buddha's light that he left behind, in my hands, will only be damaged. Since this child's surname is Bai, then the Buddha's head will always be in AJIU's hands. Wait until he sends the Purple Jade out, then we'll go to the courtyard..."
When Baili Jiajue said this, he crushed the flower petal in his hand. The floating cloud also began to churn in all directions. "Take Ajiu home."
The last five words echoed in the valley in a low and deep voice. No one could hear what he said.
Large patches of black feathers flew up and wrapped the man and the Divine Beast together in the center. In the blink of an eye, that was already empty, without any shadow.
Twelve o'clock.
It was also noon, and Bai Zhun's place had just been cleared.
But in the city's school, it was the most lively time for the students.
Ajiu originally wanted to go to class, but with a large dog, not to mention the classroom, even the usual shopping malls were not allowed in.
But she could drag it around outside the school.
However, she didn't know if it was her illusion.
She always felt that the large dog she saw today was much more well-behaved than the day she saw it in the snow. Especially when second brother looked over, little ala's neck would shrink a little. It was really well-behaved.
Ajiu stretched out her hand and touched the big head of Alaska. The white cat was still on the top of her head.
Helian Qingchen was afraid that his sister would be tired, so he said with a faint smile, "Give me the rope."
"Okay." Ajiu thought for a while and added, "But second brother, you have to watch Little Ala. it has a bad temper and likes to bite people."
Helian Qingchen smiled, "Bad temper?"
"Awoo!" Alaska immediately put away its claws and walked beside Helian Qingchen like a cat. It looked like it wanted to be obedient.
Seeing this, Ajiu felt that her second brother was simply powerful to a certain extent.
She and her big brother both relied on their martial strength to win.
For example, when she first met Little Ala, she directly displayed the imposing manner of wanting to tame a beast and pounced towards Little Ala.
Gu Cheng should not be able to see it, but she was indeed relying on her martial strength to crush Little Ala.
Unlike second brother, who didn't seem to need to do anything and only had the ability to tame beasts..
"Second Brother didn't ask you yesterday." Helian Qingchen stopped and looked at Ajiu with a smile. "Why don't you want to go back to the Bai family today?"
Ajiu was just about to speak when a familiar smile came from behind her. "Ajiu!"
It was Gu Rou. Behind her were her two sisters. They seemed to have been meticulously dressed up. Their faces were covered with makeup, and they looked very youthful..
Chapter 1244 - It Was Time to Let Certain People Know
It was Gu Rou. Behind her were her two sisters. They looked like they had dressed up meticulously. Their faces were covered with makeup, and they looked very youthful.
Gu Rou ran over and said, "Why are you still here? Didn't you go back? It's already past twelve. The birthday party will start at four. Do you want your sisters to bring you back?"
"Birthday party? What birthday party?" Someone beside Gu Rou asked softly.
"Don't you know? Today is Campus Beau Bai's birthday. He has already taken the afternoon off. I heard that he's going to hold a birthday party in the courtyard."
"Campus Beau Bai's birthday party? Ah, I want to go too!"
"Save it. Do you think you're a friend of Campus Belle Gu? Campus Beau Bai only invited her friends. Passersby like us can only stand aside."
Whispers came from all directions.
Ajiu listened quietly and did not speak.
Gu Rou was still the same. She smiled very sweetly with her hands behind her back. She tilted her head and looked at Ajiu as if she was waiting for her answer.
The two girls behind her looked at the people around them who were discussing and then smiled at each other.
It was indeed an honor to be invited by the Bai family.
If it weren't for Gu Rou, they definitely wouldn't have been able to enter the courtyard.
Although it wasn't Campus Beau Bai who personally invited them, but what difference
did it make if it was Gu Rou?
That was why it was good to have a beautiful friend by your side. You'll be able to go wherever you wanted to go.
"That's right, Ajiu, you can go back with us," one of the girls opened her mouth and mumbled, "in case Campus Beau Bai specially comes to pick you up later."
Ajiu raised her eyes and glanced at that person.
The girl smiled and blinked her eyes. "Ajiu, I don't have any other intentions. I also heard from Arou that the school bully canceled all the celebration events for you. There are no games like truth or dare. It's just purely eating. When the time comes, we'll all play together. Don't always be so distant from us."
"Heh." Helian Qingchen raised his head with a faint smile. His tone was very slow and unhurried. "Ajiu and you can't even be considered to know each other, not to mention estranged."
The girl was instantly choked. She then sneered. "Hey, isn't this the handsome guy who rides a bicycle to school every day? I used to be friends with Ajiu's brother. Why can't we be considered estranged?"
"Her brother?" Helian Qingchen's eyes turned cold, "Are you sure you know who her brother is? Of course, even if you are talking about Bai Zhun, in my memory, Bai Zhun doesn't even know your name, right? Didn't he not say a word the last time we met?
The girl was speechless again. Bai Zhun indeed didn't even know her. At most, they had met twice, but that was also because he was with Gu Rou.
That's right, Gu Rou!
"Hehe, our Gu Rou is the girlfriend of Campus Beau Bai. Even if Bai Zhun doesn't know my name, everyone knows me." As she spoke, the girl raised her chin.
Helian Qingchen raised his eyebrows. "In the end, it's someone else who is Bai Zhun's girlfriend. I really don't understand. What does this have to do with you? Is it worth you showing off like this?"
After hearing Helian Qingchen's ridicule, the onlookers also covered their mouths and laughed.
That girl's face was flushed red!
Gu rou immediately said, "This is my best friend. We often eat together with Bai Zhun and the others. We have been friends for a long time. In the future, we will often be together. It's only a matter of time before we become familiar with each other." As she spoke, she looked at the big dog that AJIU was leading."Ajiu, this Alaska is very fierce. You have to be careful. I ran over to greet you because I wanted to get along well with you. Just like I said this morning, today is your brother's birthday. Let's not make things unpleasant, and you shouldn't interact with people he doesn't like. It'll make him feel suffocated. "Since you don't want to go back with us, I'll get the driver to pick you up in a while. Your brother is busy today, so I'm afraid he won't be able to spare time. If there's anything, you can call me. Just remember that the show starts at four o'clock."
