Chapter 122 The Sixth Movement: Gui Wan...
Bao Le watched the liquor and sugar disappear as they walked. The little girl just hesitated for two or three seconds, and then stepped out of the painting.It’s like there is an invisible wall separating the two worlds. After stepping out, the world is spinning, and the world suddenly regains the sense of reality from the splash-ink landscape painting style.
She thought she would be taken to a far and strange place, but in fact it was far but not strange.After going out, the surroundings were full of weeds and fields, occasionally dotted with a few Soviet-style small buildings——she returned to Chongli.
Once in and out, she can return to Su Zhou from Bei Jing in less than ten minutes. It seems that the environment in this painting is really amazing.
Standing at the gate of her small courtyard, Grandma Yu didn't panic when she saw them appearing out of nowhere, instead she waved at them and signaled them to come over.Jun Zhi said that Po Yu is a trustworthy person, so she didn't doubt him, and took two steps forward.Before taking the third step, a spear fell from the sky, between Bao Le and Yu Po.Take a closer look at the long | gun is not made of metal, the whole body is carved in wood, only the red tassel is the same as the normal gun.
Before Bao Le could figure out where it was the gun that flew out of nowhere, the angry fireball had already flown around it. The wood was flammable and caught the sparks from his wing feathers, and the wooden gun burned all of a sudden.a golden light.Even the field where the wooden gun was stuck was scorched and bald.
"Tsk," the little girl heard Gao Xing who was beside her say dumbfounded, "When did the Vulcan Spear become made of wood? Could it be because of insufficient funds."
"No and no." A young voice came from Yu Po's courtyard. A man in a navy blue Taoist robe, holding floating dust in his hand, tied up his waist-length white hair with a white jade hairpin, and walked out of the courtyard calmly and unbreakably.
He was accompanied by an acquaintance, Jiang Ning, whom he hadn't seen for many days.Although we hadn't seen each other for many days, Jiang Ning was no different from before. Seeing that she was not injured, Bao Le's hanging heart finally fell down.The little girl stared at the other party with her eyes, and Hong Guoguo asked her why she had left without a word for so many days.Jiang Meiren put her arms around her chest and shrugged helplessly.
The young man dressed like a Taoist priest played with the floating dust in his hands after he came out of the house.Baijiu and Baitang walked behind him respectfully, not daring to say a word.Although Bao Le was successfully brought here, but there is an extra Gao Xing, this person is not easy at first glance.So in general, it is still considered that they have messed up their errands. Right now, the golden boy and girl Jade just want to avoid being punished, so they dare not speak too much.
However, they look very much like Guanyin and her two boys.Although the young man's voice sounded like a man's, his face was so indistinguishable from men and women that it was hard not to complain.
Gao Xing looked at Avalokitesvara in front of him, no, the Taoist priest in front of him smiled and said, "Let's have a code word—'Bu Zhou Shang, the Palace of Yan', what's the next sentence?"
"Under Zhoushui, Miao's Palace." The Taoist priest said lightly.
Seeing them whispering here, Jiang Ning spread her hands, as if responding to Gao Xing: "He is Bai Zhi, not a descendant of Bai Zhi, I have verified it for you."
Gao Xing opened his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't believe it: "It's been more than a hundred years, old thing, you can live to this day?"
The Taoist priest named Bai Zhi lowered his head and smiled, glanced at Jiang Ning, then at Gao Xing, and said slowly: "Gaoling Banquet, you can 'live' till now, and Peony can 'live' till now, why don't ICan?"
Bao Le was at a loss, wondering who Bai Zhi was, who was Peony, who was Gao Ling Yan... These three people seemed to speak Chinese, and it seemed that they were not Chinese, and she couldn't understand a word.
Perhaps to take into account the feelings of her audience, Daoist Bai Zhi stopped playing charades and gestured to Yu Po with his head down. Afterwards, the mother-in-law nodded and staggered into the yard.
Daoist made a respectful bow to Bao Le, and made a suggestion: "Miss Jiang, take Xianyang, let's sit in the house together, how about a cup of tea?"
She doesn't want to drink tea, if possible, she wants to take Jiang Ning and leave quickly, after all, Xie Huai doesn't know what's going on.
But she didn't have the nerve to say it out. After glancing at Jiang Ning and then at Gao Xing, she finally chose to let Fireball go back first."I'll take care of you when I'm free," the kind owner hinted at his pet.Huoqiuqiu knew that this person was stingy, but he didn't deliberately hide these things from her, so he obediently sneaked into Bao Le's body with a bit of grievance.
...
A group of people entered the room, thinking that such a powerful person as Daoist Bai Zhi would definitely choose to sit in the main seat, but he chose the seat on the left.Sugar and Baijiu did not take their seats, but still stood behind him.Jiang Ning and Gao Xing didn't want to see Bai Zhi, and they didn't want to sit next to him, so they sat opposite him.
In the current situation, Bao Le could only sit next to Bai Zhi, but although she didn't want to see Bai Zhi much, she didn't want to sit next to him either.But what should do, can't just stick around all the time, the little girl gritted her teeth and rubbed against Bai Zhi unwillingly.
Before she sat down, Bai Zhi didn't even look at her, and raised dust to stop her movement.
The Taoist priest, who seemed to be kind and smiling, turned his head slightly and explained to her: "Miss Jiang, your seat is in the front."
But how could there be a seat in front of him... Could it be that he was talking about the main seat?Jiang Ning couldn't stand it anymore, got up and took her hand, and led the little girl to the main seat on the right.Bao Le looked at her suspiciously, and Jiang Meiren winked at her.
After they were seated, after a while, Yu Po served hot tea to them one by one.Authentic Qingbi carved small teacup, filled with Su Zhou's famous Dongting Biluochun.But Bao Le is not a person who understands tea. He can't taste the fineness of the tea, nor can he taste the age of the tea. He drinks tea like a cow and has no achievements.After serving the tea, Yu Po didn't leave, she walked slowly to Bao Le's side, just like white wine and sugar standing behind Bai Zhi, her old man also stood behind Bao Le.
The traditional etiquette of the Chinese nation is to respect the old and love the young. Bao Le almost gave up his seat to Yu Po like on the bus.It's just that Yu Po's old hand pressed on her shoulder, preventing her from getting up.Strange, such an elderly and frail old lady has such great strength?
While everyone was drinking tea, only Jiang Ning lit a cigarette, and the faint aroma filled the small hall.
The aroma of tea and smoke are available, it's time to start telling stories.
"I'm not stupid," Bao Le guessed that the time was ripe, and it was time to start the routine, "Since you respect me as the superior, you have to tell me, who is the superior?"
As soon as this question came up, the three people present seemed to have something to say, but if they came together, it might be extremely inefficient to talk separately.
"Jiang Ning," the little girl took a deep breath, and looked at the only person she knew well, although she was not sure whether they still had trust between them, "Will you lie to me?"
Jiang Meiren crossed her legs, put her hand on her lap holding a cigarette, and did not answer the question directly, but said speciously: "Do you believe me?"
Bao Le was silent for a long time, just when everyone thought she was going to use silence to deny it, she said very firmly: "I believe it."
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and she looked at Bao Le in disbelief. The little girl's personality was the same as what she said, without the slightest wavering.She really believed in her. People were unpredictable, but human nature was kind and worthy of trust.
Bai Zhi could not help but shake her head when she heard Bao Le revealing her heart: "The people of the Shen family know how to plan ahead. In this regard, I have indeed lost."
"Oh? You lost more than that."
While they were talking, another voice suddenly approached from far away. This voice sounded familiar, and the speaker also looked familiar.Shen Wangyan brought Jun Zhi and Shen San into the house together, and the three of them carried a murderous aura.Bao Le faintly felt that it was as if they had come from a painting, and the three of them didn't seem to have come from a normal way.
Shen Wangyan bowed to Daoist Bai Zhi, and said very respectfully: "Master Bai, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so young."
Bai Zhi glanced at him sideways, and said in a lukewarm way: "The last time we met, you were just born. Could it be that you have memories when you were born, and you know what I look like?"
"I don't know," Shen Wangyan sat down next to Daoist Bai Zhi, "but I don't hesitate to say polite words."
This is in line with Shen Wangyan's usual style, talking nonsense in a serious manner, anyway, first scare people before talking.But everyone present was fine, obviously his tactics did not scare the biggest wolf.
After Young Master Shen took his seat, Shen San consciously stood behind him, and he was naturally not qualified to sit.
Also ineligible is Jun Zhi, although he is older, but in terms of rank, he is no different from Shen San.After he entered, he only glanced at Bao Le and saw the happy expression on the little girl's face, but he couldn't respond.After Shen Wangyan sat down, he should have stood behind the young master with Shen San.But no one expected that just as he turned around, Bao Le suddenly stood up from his seat, and Yu Po behind him didn't even react.
The little girl didn't care what others thought, and walked quickly to Jun Zhi.
It seemed like every time she missed him, he always showed up.The sky, which was originally somewhat cloudy, suddenly shone brightly because of the other party's appearance.
Bao Le said: "Isn't it just a seat, smelly is so particular? Since you let me sit in the main seat, you have to listen to me, right~" The little girl took Jun Zhi's hand with a playful smile, and brought him to the seat step by step.The position to the left of the theme.
This is no longer a hint, but a loud and clear statement.
Jiang Ning was so stared that her eyeballs almost fell off, she glanced at Young Master Shen, who was talking face to face, smiling without a smile on her face, and then at Shen San, who had a face of "don't care about me".Finally, at the end, Jiang Meiren communicated with her old colleagues out of thin air with her eyes, and repeatedly said, "Do you want to face?"Love, "You give me back my Chinese cabbage" and other soul-questions.
Among them, only Yu Po frowned.
After Jun Zhi took his seat, no one bothered to care about him, including Jiang Ning, who was aggrieved, and Bao Le, who looked expectant, but only looked up at Yu Po.Yu Po's complexion was frosty, and he shook his head slightly.Jun Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then stood up again.
If Bao Le is telling everyone about her relationship with Jun Zhi, Jun Zhi's doing so is like refusing on the spot.
But he had said that he liked her before, so it wasn't because he didn't like her that he refused... Of course, she noticed the way Jun Zhi looked at Po Yu after sitting down, and also noticed Po Po Yu shaking her head.To Junzhi, Yu Po is definitely not an ordinary old woman.She knew it when she was with Jun Zhi before.Jun Zhi is a person who is very indifferent to everyone, but last time he trusted Po Yu unconditionally, and even said a lot more when she doubted Po Yu.
So, it was Yu Po who didn't let him sit in the current seat, the reason is unknown.
But even so, there are still some dissatisfaction.
Bao Le was sad, but it was a long time before Jun Zhizhi walked back behind Shen Wangyan.He finally hesitated for a while, and slowly walked behind the little girl.Yu Po didn't stop him this time, and even made room for him.A man who has always been taciturn, naturally he would not explain his behavior, he just put his hand on Bao Le's shoulder.
It's not that he doesn't want to sit next to her, but he is not qualified to walk in front of her yet.
...
"What a big show." Daoist Bai Zhi put the floating dust in the socket of his elbow, freed his hands and clapped his hands, "It turns out that the young master of the Shen family came up with such a wonderful idea."
Shen Wangyan smirked, "Where is that?"
Daoist Bai Zhi didn't bother to talk to him: "Since everyone is here, why don't we introduce ourselves to Ms. Jiang? Just now, Ms. Jiang asked me where I was. You didn't tell me this little question clearly., is too insincere."
Shen Wangyan sneered: "Isn't that a chance for Mr. Bai to perform?"
Obviously time is precious, these people are still practicing Tai Chi with each other.Bao Le got tired of hearing it, so he said directly: "Boss Shen, you said before that the Shen family is one of the eight ancient families. So you can just say it, the Bai family and the Gao family are also ancient families?"
Bai Zhi touched the floating dust, her eyes froze: "No."
"The so-called ancient clans are the existences of the ancient clans selected by heaven in ancient times, and endowed with the responsibility of heaven and the power granted by heaven. There were eight before, so throughout history, they have always been called the eight clans of ancient times," Gao Xing shook his head."However, there are not many of the original Eight Legacy Clans left."
Bao Le thought of Abu from Ya'an, he was right, Abu was the last descendant of Ai Sang, and after his death, Ai Sang's clan would be wiped out.
Times have changed, and family inheritance is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will be completely broken.
After listening to what Gao Xing said, the little girl was a little puzzled and said, "If you are not the survivors of the ancient times, what are you?"
Gao Xing smiled: "Although there are not a few of the original eight survivors of the ancient times, the number of the eight survivors will always be maintained, so as to meet the construction and opening ceremony of the land of enlightenment. The number is not enough and there is no way to make up quicklyWhen it is time to get together, several families are needed to make up the number. Our Gao family is, their Bai family and Jiang family are all. We do not belong to the ancient survivors, but are the watchers of the way of heaven in the world. In other words,All the children of my three clans have the blood of gods in their bodies, so they can enjoy the power of gods and control the beasts of gods."
Bao Le was dumbfounded when he heard this—so the nonsense that the elders have been saying, "The deceased relatives return to heaven to become gods", could it be true?
"No, my surname is Jiang not Bai," the little girl hurriedly said, "How could it be from the Bai family..."
"This is about a hundred years ago, probably from the generation of your grandpa's parents," Bai Zhi said, "It was at that time that your family began to separate. Your grandpa's father is my relative."Younger brother, named Bai Heng. He entered the Jiang family and married Jiang Lanting, the third young lady of the Jiang family at that time, and your grandfather was born the next year."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she silently glanced at Jiang Ning who was opposite her.
Jiang Meiren snorted coldly, pinched the cigarette and said displeasedly: "As long as Bai Heng is useful, it won't be that his wife and children can't protect him alone, and he won't let the children of Jiang's family live outside.year."
After she finished complaining, she sighed and continued: "My original name is Su Mudan, and I am the personal maid of the top oiran in Yanliu Lane in Suzhou City. In the early years, because I beat and killed the benefactor who bullied the girl, I was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family before I was executed.She was rescued by the young lady, and then served her left and right, and the young lady gave her the name Jiang Ning. After the accident in the Jiang family, all the families were executed, and I died for Lanzhou.The Shen family is recuperating. It wasn't until twenty years ago that I heard that Miss San's child survived."
That's why when the blind cat met a dead mouse and Bao Le embroidered a peony flower cheongsam for her, she had such a big reaction.It had been many years and no one had called her by her real name.
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, Gao Xing felt that it was his turn to play: "Our Gao family is much simpler than these two. Little Bao Le, I am actually your uncle and grandma.She is my cousin. Compared with these two unreliable ones, after the Jiang family accident, it was our family who took in your grandfather, and my sister married him because of this."
After hearing this, the little girl quickly got up from her seat and said, "Are you here today to recognize relatives? Then I shouldn't be in this seat. You are all my ancestors."
Shen Wangyan sneered: "What good intentions did they have in letting you sit on the throne? But don't be afraid, even though they have no good intentions, it is in line with the etiquette. The upper three clans have never been distinguished by age or seniority.The so-called bloodline is the most important, and they respect you because you are the only person in the world who has the physique of Xi He besides the mixed blood of the three races."
"They asked you for something, so they let you take the lead."
