On the Train

Yi Tianxing had a miserable life on the train. Although he grew up on a stinking garbage dump since he was a child, he never expected that the people in the hard-seat train compartmentThe smell was so horrible, especially the smell mixed with countless strange tastes was always surrounded by a sour smell of sweat, which made his nostrils a little unbearable.

It takes seven hours to take the train from Gaoyang County to the provincial capital. Yi Tianxing held his breath for seven hours. Fortunately, he has learned to breathe with his skin. It was unpleasant, but fortunately it could block the intrusion of the stench, so he didn’t care about that much, but occasionally he would pretend to heave his chest, so as not to be mistaken by the passengers in the car for this motionless young man to suffer from a serious illness and die.

After the train drove to the central part of the province, it plunged into the continuous and undulating mountains. He watched the scenery outside the car changing between the tunnel and the green hills, and couldn’t help being a little bored. Thinking of the Buddhist method that he learned in the small pond that day, he frowned, slid through the crowd in the carriage, and squeezed into the toilet.

“Snapped”

He snapped his fingers, watching with a hint of complacency a faint blue flame rose from between his thumb and index finger. He is not very proficient at controlling the strange fire in his body. Taking advantage of the boring time on the train, he hid in the toilet and practiced. After a long time, he finally felt the way the red light spot in his body operated, and he also had more experience in controlling the flames. He could even change the flames on his fingers from blue to red or incandescent according to his own thoughts. . He knew that these color changes were changes in temperature.

After all, Yi Tianxing is a monk who became a monk halfway. Or it can be said that he is a complete self-study, and most of his current supernatural powers are imposed on him by the good fortune of heaven and earth, and these control skills, as the so-called Tao, are slowly groping through mistakes. He hasn’t found a comrade in this world yet, so naturally he can’t learn from Confucius and ask the old man with long ears. Fortunately, he was born with a domineering body and overwhelming courage, coupled with his natural intelligence, and after reading so many religious books, he finally practiced a little method.

He still had some headaches though. During the summer vacation, besides carrying big bags at the station, he searched through all the Buddhist scriptures in the county library, and even ran to the ruined ancient Buddhist temple next to the children’s park to try his luck, but he still couldn’t find a real solution. The so-called real solution, in his opinion, is to at least be able to understand what is going on with his body and the nature of the fire in his body. Now that he is purely using his mind to control it, how can he achieve this kind of mind control?

At a street stall in Gaoyang County, he bought a qigong secret book written by a certain “master” in Hebei. With the skill of seeing, with Yi Tianxing’s current eyesight, it is no problem to see if the couple kissing a few kilometers away has their tongue out, but it is difficult for them to look into their own body and see how those fiery red spots work.

Yi Tianxing’s current state is like a baby who uses a pistol as a toy. He knows that he can shoot bullets when he pulls the trigger, but he doesn’t know where the bullets are placed in the magazine and how the bullets fire.

Yi Tianxing is very dissatisfied with this state. On the one hand, he has always cared about the degree of control over his body. On the other hand, he does not want to be like a child with a pistol, and one day he will be crushed by the bullets in the pistol. head.

“Know it, but don’t know why.”

Yi Tianxing blew out the faint flame on his fingers quite coolly, and then heard someone slamming on the door outside the toilet.

“Who?” He pushed the door open with some displeasure, and then saw a conductor staring at him.

“What’s the matter?” Yi Tianxing thought it was because he occupied the toilet for a long time, and was a little embarrassed by the passenger’s reaction.

Unexpectedly, the conductor stared at him coldly, with indifference and disdain in his eyes, just like Yi Tianxing stole some bacon from his house last night, “check the ticket”

Although Yi Tianxing didn’t understand why the word “ticket check” needed to be yelled out in such a loud voice, he still honestly took out the train ticket from his shirt pocket and handed it to the conductor.

The conductor frowned, holding the crumpled ticket with two fingers, as if he was afraid that his hands would get dirty with the ticket, looked back and forth several times, and handed it back angrily, muttering : “It turned out to be a real ticket, I thought this kid was hiding in the toilet to evade fares.”

Yi Tianxing knew that he was looking at his shabby clothes, so he stared at him all the way, couldn’t help but look down on this person, took the ticket coldly and walked to his seat. Seeing his expression, the conductor couldn’t hold back his face, and cursed a few obscenities in a low voice.

After returning to his seat, he realized that his seat was occupied by a young man, so he called out softly, but the man did not wake up. Yi Tianxing took a closer look, and found that the young man was leaning on the chair, his eyes were closed tightly, but the eyeballs under his eyelids were rolling slightly, and he knew that this guy was pretending to sleep and want to sit back, so he slapped him unceremoniously. He patted the guy on the shoulder and said loudly, “Sorry, this is my seat.”

The guy had a pain in his shoulder, jumped up with an ouch, and cursed: “You are so sick.”

Many people sitting next to him were traveling with that guy, and they also quarreled. Yi Tianxing looked at these people coldly, but ignored them, and sat straight in his seat. Those people saw that he was very familiarHis expression became even more angry, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit him. The conductor was on the sidelines, but he was only interested in reading jokes, and he deliberately wanted to make Yi Tianxing suffer, so he didn’t come up to fight.

Yi Tianxing was disturbed by these flies, and couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed. He leaned against the window and took a nap, but hid his right hand under his left armpit and rubbed it quietly. As soon as he rubbed it, there was a slight touch between his thumb and forefinger, but a very fine arc of fire flashed, and Yi Tianxing moved his mind slightly, and the spark of fire on his fingertips was divided into several finer small sparks, Flying silently along the floor of the train towards the feet of those guys.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch”

There was a lot of screams on the train, and those guys with their sleeves up were wailing, and hurriedly took off their burning leather shoes, only to find that there was a very deep hole in the leather shoes, and the smell of burning was overwhelming. But the fire was very particular, just after the rubber soles of the leather shoes were burned, the burning of the socks of these passengers stopped suddenly, and it only caused these passengers a bit of pain.

“what’s going on”

“There is a problem with this car”

“The car is leaking electricity, it must be a leakage”

Yi Tianxing was a little satisfied with his ability to control fire from the air, and stopped listening to the quarrel between these passengers and the conductor, buried his head in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long it took, the train finally passed through the Qinling Mountains and came to the gently rolling hills. It was four o’clock in the afternoon. Yi Tianxing stuck his head out of the window, looked at the road ahead with his eyes facing the wind, and vaguely saw some white smoke rising in the sky ahead, and the surrounding scenery became worldly. I know, the provincial capital is coming. The passengers who were cursing before were already drowsy at this time, and the box lunch sellers on the train were busy earning the last piece of money. Yi Tianxing tore open the packaging of the instant noodle bowl, poured some mineral water into it while others were not paying attention, and then held it expressionlessly. After a while, his palm heated the instant noodles to the boil, and he ate the hot bowl happily face to face.

When the stomach was full and satisfied, the train also slowly stopped.

Yi Tianxing burped, carried his belongings, and got out of the car with the crowded people in the hard-seat car. From a distance, he saw a black Nissan Bluebird parked on the platform of the sleeper car. The whole line of the car was smooth and round, and it looked extremely pleasing to the eye. It might have come to pick up someone. He couldn’t help admiring: “People in the provincial capital are really rich, and this car is better than the car that our county magistrate takes.”

The conductor who was still standing at the door of the train heard his exclamation and couldn’t help laughing: “What a bumpkin who has never seen the world. This train is nothing in the provincial capital, but these people can drive the train to the platform to pick it up.” Man, it looks like he’s picked up some big shot.”

Yi Tianxing didn’t bother to pay attention to him, so he put his bags on his back and was about to leave the platform. Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen people in the car running along the long train anxiously, as if they were looking for someone but couldn’t find them. :
