At ten o'clock in the evening, the dinner party was over, and the guests returned to their rooms to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game.
In the banquet hall of Nuoda, except for the waiters from the Donghuang Hotel who were still cleaning, the only ones left were the musicians from the city's symphony orchestra.
Among the young people in the orchestra who were packing up their instruments, a quiet and elegant girl was carefully putting her violin into the case.
The orchestra conductor with long wavy hair told the young people that tonight's performance was very good and that they should not forget to go to the theater to rehearse tomorrow. After that, the young people cheered and left in twos and threes carrying their own instruments.
"Yunxi, are you going back to school? If so, can you help me bring my piano back to the dormitory?" A girl with short red hair blinked her big eyes and begged her cutely.
roommate.
Ye Yunxi raised his head slightly, then smiled softly and said, "Going out with your boyfriend again, right?"
The girl spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Originally I didn't want to talk to him, but who made him insist on asking me to accompany him to watch a movie? Well, think about it carefully, although he was a little too much a few days ago, he just
Even though he didn’t come to pick me up even though he was playing games, seeing as he has been waiting for us for two hours tonight, I will honor him and go with him once."
Ye Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Don't worry."
"Yunxi is the best, I'll treat you to dinner later." The girl kissed her roommate on the cheek and ran out of the banquet hall happily, leaving only the elegant girl, who silently tidied up her roommate without even having time.
The packed piano case.
Carrying her own piano case behind her back, she then picked up her roommate's piano case. The extremely capable girl, dressed in a black performer's outfit, brushed her long hair around her ears and slowly left the banquet hall with her piano case in hand.

Looking at Fairy Yueling...or Ye Yunxi walking past him, Tang Seng stood in the corner of the first floor of Donghuang Hotel, silently watching the girl's leaving figure.
Two seconds later, Tang Seng lowered his head.
"Master, I really want to...meet you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in white clothes who was exactly the same as Tang Seng but completely different walked out of Tang Seng's body and strode towards the girl who was slowly leaving in front of him.
————————
Standing beside the intersection, Ye Yunxi stood quietly by the roadside, waiting for the rough car to come out.
The girl is very beautiful. Different from others, she has a slender figure and graceful figure. She has a kind of beauty unique to classical beauties. The girl with a long leather shawl and delicate and picturesque facial features is often standing there.
, it has a kind of out-of-the-world temperament.
The girl is very quiet and gentle. She doesn't speak loudly and treats everyone and everything with a gentle smile. But sometimes she likes to be lost in thought, staring at the mahogany comb in her hand that never leaves her body.
So much so that many people think he is a bit stupid.
"Drip." A drop of raindrop hit the girl's fair and jade-like cheek. The girl looked up. For some reason, the originally clear night sky suddenly started to drizzle. Soon, the continuous drizzle turned into a big drop of rain.
Raindrops slid rapidly down the sky.
The girl covered her head with her hands and ran quickly to the bus stop behind her with her piano case in hand. While standing under the eaves of the station to take shelter from the rain, she looked strangely at the busy traffic in front of her, but no taxi passed by.
of streets.
"Wow." Raindrops like bead curtains fell from the sky. Vehicles drove quickly through the rain with their bright lights. Pedestrians on the road also quickened their pace and took shelter under the eaves of the surrounding houses.
The rain was not heavy and there was no wind. The scene of rain falling in the urban night had a unique charm. The girl looked at the heavy rain at night silently, thinking that she might be late to go back tonight, and she didn't know if Aunt Liu in the dormitory would be there.
Will he yell at her again? Thinking of this, the girl tugged her wet hair around her ears and smiled.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from beside her.
"Girl, your comb."
The girl turned her head slightly and saw a monk in white clothes appearing beside her at some point, looking at her with a smile. In her outstretched right hand, lying quietly was a small mahogany comb with only nine teeth.
Ye Yunxi was stunned for a while, then he politely took the comb from the monk's hand and nodded gently, "Sorry to trouble you."
The monk didn't speak. After smiling, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the heavy rain in front of her with her.
Ye Yunxi held his comb tightly and couldn't help but turn around and look at the monk. Although he didn't take a closer look just now, but just at a glance, Ye Yunxi felt a tranquility and peace in the monk that was not like the ordinary world. And he didn't know it.
Why, just standing next to this monk in white, Ye Yunxi felt that his heart seemed to calm down a lot.
Gently tilting his head, Ye Yunxi looked at the monk beside him curiously.
The monk is wearing a simple robe. He has a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a gentle smile on his lips. The Buddhist beads hanging on his chest are simple yet elegant, and the cloth shoes on his feet seem to be the same.
Been wearing it for many years.
Looking at the monk, Ye Yunxi had a vague sense of time and space confusion. She did not feel that the monk in front of her seemed like a person who could appear in this era, or that he was someone who should not appear in this kind of city.
Noticing Ye Yunxi's gaze, the monk in white turned his head and smiled softly, "Is there anything wrong with me, poor monk?"
The girl shook her head and smiled very elegantly, "It's nothing, I just feel that the master doesn't look like the person he is now."
The monk nodded slightly, looking nostalgically at the endless flow of streets in front of him and the raindrops falling from the sky.
"Is it."
After finishing speaking, the monk looked at the small mahogany comb in Ye Yunxi's hand, smiled and asked, "Where did the girl get this comb?"
Ye Yunxi thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "I bought it."
The monk stretched out his right hand and took a drop of boundless water. He looked at the raindrops falling in the night sky and smiled softly, "I mean no harm, I just want to have a chat with the girl, because the girl is very much like an old friend of the monk."
.”
"Then what is the master's dharma name?" the girl asked with a smile.
"Xuan Zang." The monk blurted out without any hesitation, and soon smiled softly, "It's just the same name, don't mind, girl."
Ye Yunxi was just stunned when he heard those two words at first, but soon smiled and shook his head, "Maybe the real Master Xuanzang is someone like the master."
"Really? Can that girl tell the poor monk where the wooden comb in your hand comes from?" The monk looked at Ye Yunxi and the wooden comb in her hand with some deep meaning and asked with a smile.
This time, Ye Yunxi only hesitated for a moment, then smiled and pulled the long hair around her ears, "Master may not believe it, but this comb actually appeared next to my bed after I had a serious illness when I was five years old.
I asked my father and mother, and they both said they didn't know where this comb came from, so I didn't care, so I just kept it for use." Ye Yunxi looked at the monk and nodded apologetically, "I didn't tell the master just now, I just didn't think it was necessary.
.”
"The poor monk knows." After saying that, the monk turned his attention to the rain curtain in front of him again, "I dare to ask the girl, has she ever suffered from any serious illness since she was five years old? Or, has she encountered any dangers?"
Ye Yunxi shook his head, "No, this is something that has always been strange to me. After the serious illness when I was five years old, I have never had any illness, not even a cold. As for the danger...
It didn't happen."
"Really..." the monk said softly, and his deep pupils became slightly lower.
"The girl has said so much to the poor monk, aren't you afraid that the poor monk is a bad person?" the monk asked with a smile.
Ye Yunxi held the piano case in his hand and said with an elegant smile, "No, I think the master is a very detached person, so how could he have anything to do with bad people?"
"Haha, detachment. The poor monk has been pursuing it for many years and has never reached the level that these two words should be. But today, when the poor monk looks at the girl, she really looks like that detached person."
"Master is joking." Ye Yunxi nodded and smiled.
Over the years, the monk in front of him is still one of the few people who can make Ye Yunxi say so many words within just a few minutes of knowing him. Moreover, this monk in white will indeed give people a lot of good impressions. He seems to be born with
There is a kind of temperament that makes people can't help but get close and calm down.
"I wonder what the girl's name is?"
"My name is Ye Yunxi. Master, just call me Yunxi."
The monk nodded slightly, "Yunxi, what a good name. Miss Yunxi, may I ask, does the girl have a lover?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunxi's pretty face was blushing, but she still nodded happily, "Yes, but he has classes tonight, so he didn't come to pick me up."
As soon as these words came out, the expression on the monk's face disappeared instantly...
"Yes, you have a lover... Then the poor monk wishes that the girl and your lover can grow old together." After the monk said softly, the heavy rain in front of Ye Yunxi gradually turned into a gentle drizzle. After a while,
Under the clear night sky, not a single drop of rain falls.
Ye Yunxi stared blankly at the rapidly changing weather in front of her. Soon, the monk in white beside her also turned and left the moment the rain stopped.
"The rain has stopped, so the poor monk left first. Thank you girl for talking to the poor monk for so long. Also remember to keep the comb in the girl's hand. He...it will block a lot of things for you.
Disaster."
After finishing his words, the monk in white who walked three steps stopped on the spot and asked loudly.
"Miss Yunxi, this poor monk has one last question. I hope the girl can tell me."
"Master, please speak." Ye Yunxi looked at the monk's back.
"Girl, can you believe...the past life and the present life?"
Ye Yunxi thought for a long time and finally shook his head.
The monk seemed to feel something. He turned his back to the girl and nodded gently, "Yes, there is only one life in life, there is no such thing as reincarnation. Girl, I wish you a happy life without any disaster or chaos."
After saying that, the monk walked quickly into the distance and disappeared from Ye Yunxi's eyes in a moment.
"Thank you, Master." Staring at the retreating figure of the monk in white, Ye Yunxi felt slightly strange. He wondered if this master really had any purpose, or was it really just a coincidental encounter?
Just as Ye Yunxi was thinking, a bright car light flashed from the left side. Ye Yunxi turned her head and saw a taxi slowly stopping in front of her.
——————————
Xuanzang walked slowly along the sparsely crowded street, watching the taxi passing by him quickly, looking at the quiet girl sitting in the car, the monk smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and spoke softly.
"The falling snow is like the arrival of a deep dream, and the blooming of plum blossoms is like the arrival of an old friend..."
Haha, you don’t believe in the past life or the afterlife. Miss Yunxi, you are doing the right thing. You only want this life. You don’t need to think so much. It’s just that you have suffered a lot for my stupid disciple...
...
Xuanzang stood there lonely, holding the beads lightly in his hand.
"Searching for life after life, guarding for life after life, watching her get married, watching her give birth to children, and finally watching her turn into withered bones. How many years have passed...Fifteen hundred years...
Years..."
"You still don't want to see me? Even if my teacher appears beside her, don't you want to come out and see me? Haha, that's fine... But I just want to say a word to you.
.”
"As a teacher, I feel ashamed."
Turning around, Xuanzang turned into a wisp of blue smoke and floated back into Tang Seng's body. Tang Seng stood blankly by the window, watching everything that had just happened and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he lowered his head and smiled softly.
"As a teacher... I feel ashamed."
————————
The next second after Xuanzang turned into blue smoke and left, a tall black figure stood at the place where he had just disappeared. He raised his head slightly, and there was no expression on that sharp-edged side face. Some were just deep and deep.
