Chapter 281: Twilight Hero
Worship the pier is not the same as walking relatives, you can't just carry a bag of snacks, you have to prepare a gift with a little heart, the white tiger is a western beast, the five elements belong to gold, the five organs are the main lungs, the six intestines are the main large intestine, and the white tiger should like the food that moistens the lungs and intestines.
Sometimes giving people gifts is not the more expensive the better, but what the other party needs, Wu Zhongyuan's gift to Baihu is not expensive, a bucket of cooked soybean milk, at this time it is not called soy milk, it is called soybean juice. There is also a bucket of pig blood with a little mountain onion, these two foods have the effect of moistening the lungs and intestines, the reason why the pig blood is added to the mountain onion is because the white tiger five flavors are pungent, Xin refers to the pungent smell of green onions, ginger and garlic, which belongs to the real sense of spicy, and the spicy pepper is not really spicy, in fact, it is pain.
Jiang Nan was skeptical about the gift prepared by Wu Zhongyuan, in her cognition, tigers should like to eat meat.
At the second and third moments, the two came to Xiguan, where the white tiger was.
Although Jiang Nan had already told him about the general situation of the white tiger on the way here, Wu Zhongyuan was still shocked after seeing the white tiger with his own eyes, the body length of ordinary tigers is about two meters, and the body of this huge white tiger is five times the size of ordinary tigers, more than ten meters, which is not counting the tiger's tail. It should weigh about two tons, which is less than one-fifth of Dasha's, but as a feline, it is already a behemoth.
There is a dead ancient tree in Nanguan where the Vermilion Bird is located, and the Suzaku is crouching on the ancient tree, and the Xiguan where the White Tiger is located is also a crossroads, but there is no ancient tree, and there is a huge bluestone in the middle of the crossroads, and the upper part is relatively flat, and the White Tiger lies on the side on the huge bluestone.
Animals will have a common characteristic when they reach old age, that is, the fur will lose its luster, the fur on the white tiger is no longer the sparkling silver light of the prime, but dull and pale without brilliance, although the body is huge but skinny, lying there, like a sunset old man.
There is an old saying that the tiger dies and the aftermath is there, the tiger is dead, and there is also a deterrent aftermath, not to mention that it is not dead, although it is just lying calmly on the bluestone, the powerful aura of not being angry and self-authoritative still makes Wu Zhongyuan feel depressed, and the long scar on his face that extends from the right eyebrow to the left corner of the mouth is even more majestic, which shows that it has fought on the battlefield in blood, and it is a powerful opponent.
The two of them stood a hundred steps away from the bluestone where the white tiger was lying, and after a moment of scrutiny, Wu Zhongyuan took the barrel in Jiang Nan's hand.
Jiang Nan threw a worried look at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head at him, signaling that she didn't need to worry, and instead walked towards the white tiger in the distance.
The Quartet Divine Beast, the White Tiger is the most ferocious one, Jiang Nan couldn't rest assured, and followed from behind.
Wu Zhongyuan felt it, turned around and shook his head at him, and waited for Jiang Nan to nod before continuing to walk.
The white tiger has always closed its eyes, but closing its eyes does not mean that it does not know the arrival of the two, when Wu Zhongyuan walked ten zhang away from it, the white tiger slowly opened his eyes.
Carnivores and herbivores have different eyes, and herbivores tend to have large and round eyes. Carnivores, on the other hand, usually have small and long eyes, and large round eyes are simple-minded and relatively peaceful. Animals with long, narrow eyes, on the other hand, are thoughtful and often aggressive.
The white tiger belongs to the latter, but he squinted and opened a gap, and the moment he opened his eyes, the cold light, the fierce light, the murderous aura, and the domineering aura radiated out at the same time, and his sharp eyes were like knives and arrows, that is, Wu Zhongyuan had already been mentally prepared but still felt his heart beating faster and his scalp numb.
After the white tiger opened his eyes, Wu Zhongyuan stopped, put down the barrel in his hand, raised his hand to the white tiger, and said loudly at the same time, "In Xia Wu Zhongyuan, go west with friends, pass through here, and come to visit His Excellency." ”
Wu Zhongyuan said, the white tiger's eyes did not change significantly, but no obvious change does not mean that there is no change at all, the cold light, the fierce light, and the domineering spirit are still there, but the murderous aura has decreased a little.
Wu Zhongyuan explained the origin and motive, picked up the barrel and continued to walk slowly, in fact, Baihu had already known his origin, and he reported that he was only full of etiquette.
Wu Zhongyuan stood two zhang away from the white tiger, lowered his head and sent the two buckets of bean juice and pig blood forward again, and then retreated, stood still from two zhang away, bowed his head and waited for the white tiger to speak.
He knew that the White Tiger knew who he was, and he also knew that the White Tiger would not kill him, and the reason why he was so respectful to the White Tiger was not to ask for guidance, but to express the respect in his heart.
After waiting for a while, and not seeing the white tiger speak, Wu Zhongyuan slowly raised his head and said, "The four Venerables are worth the four directions, suppressing seals for thousands of years, resisting foreign enemies, and giving great grace to the world. When the six roads are upright, the temples that must be offered will be sacrificed for all generations, and the monuments will be erected to remember forever. ”
Wu Zhongyuan's words were very solemn, and after hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the white tiger really opened his eyes, but he still didn't speak, just glanced at Wu Zhongyuan and slowly closed his eyes.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't stop long, raised his hand at the white tiger again, and then turned around and retreated.
Although the white tiger never spoke, he could see that after he said those words, the white tiger was very pleased, for the four divine beasts, the world could not give them anything they wanted, the only thing he could do was to express his gratitude to these divine beasts who had protected the world, although this kind of gratitude had no substantive meaning to them, but it could let them know that the people they were protecting were thinking of their good children and receiving their affection.
Walking to Baizhang away, Wu Zhongyuan glanced back, but found that the white tiger had turned his head away and no longer faced them.
Jiang Nan made a gesture at him, and the two turned to leave, and the two did not talk on the way back to the city, and only when they returned to the city did Jiang Nannan say, "What you said earlier moved it very much. ”
"How do you know?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"It doesn't look away, because it doesn't want us to see its sadness. Jiang Nan said in a low voice.
"There's not much more we can do for them than to say thank you. Wu Zhongyuan sighed and nodded, the white tiger is a Western divine beast, and the five elements are sad, but all aggressive people or animals have pessimism in their bones, but all meek and peaceful people or animals are born with optimism.
"I never thought that it would be as fierce as it, and there were joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Jiang Nan said.
"It is in the disposition that there are true joys and sorrows. Wu Zhongyuan said casually, at this time, the number of people is small, social is not so complicated, and there is not as rich and complete history as modern times, you can know what has happened in thousands of years, in fact, throughout ancient and modern China and foreign countries, all earth-shattering, singing and crying things are done by people in temperament, peaceful people are easy to follow the crowd, go with the flow to profit. People in temperament are often paranoid, and insisting on stubbornness is autism.
Take Liu Bang and Xiang Yu as examples, Xiang Yu is a man of temperament, and he is unwilling to kill Liu Bang treacherously, and Liu Bang is very peaceful, and he doesn't care if he threatens him with his father, so in the end, Xiang Yu lost, and the reason for losing was that he had a bottom line and was too embarrassed.
Jiang Nan is the second noble person of the Niu clan, and Lanshan entertained her with a high standard and gave up the best room.
But Lanshan only prepared a room for the two, and the relationship between the two was no secret for a long time, in the eyes of the city lord of Lanshan, he and Jiang Nan were already husband and wife, and they should live in one room.
Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want Jiang Nan to see that he was embarrassed, because Jiang Nan was affectionate and righteous to him, that day next to the ancient tomb where the Qinglong Armor was sealed, Jiang Nan did not hesitate to use his own name to protect him in order to save him, and now everyone in the world knows that he slept with Jiang Nan, and how will Jiang Nan marry someone else in the future.
In addition, Jiang Nan came out a few times ago, and also stole all the pills reserved by the Niu Clan's palace, and the female eldest was not stayed, and her elbow began to turn outward, so she had to give her an explanation, if she didn't kiss her, Jiang Nan would be very cold.
The matter was there, and he understood the reason, but he still couldn't let go of Wang Xinran.
While Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, Jiang Nan had already turned around and walked out, "You live here, I'll go somewhere else." ”
Hearing Jiang Nan say this, Wu Zhongyuan felt guilty, and said with a sneer, "Or, together?"
"The mouth is not right," Jiang Nan snorted disdainfully, "If I really agree, how will you deal with it?"
Wu Zhongyuan was embarrassed, he came back to his senses, and sincerely invited, "It's still early to go to bed, come in and talk." ”
Jiang Nan had already walked far away at this time, and when he heard Wu Zhongyuan say this, he stopped.
Wu Zhongyuan invited again, Jiang Nan turned around and walked back, and entered the house with him.
There were goat's milk and spring water on the table, and some seasonal fruits, the two sat opposite each other, Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to speak, and told Jiang Nan about some of his experiences in modern times, Jiang Nan had affection for him, and he had to tell her the truth, no matter what the situation, the truth was always the right answer.
Wu Zhongyuan once told Wu Di about similar things, unlike Wu Di's questions from time to time, Jiang Nan just listened quietly, and her not asking questions didn't mean that she understood, or it could be that she wasn't curious and didn't care at all.
It wasn't until Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking that Jiang Nan spoke, and the question she asked turned out to be exactly the same as Wu Di's, "Before you left, did you promise to go back to look for her?"
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
"Why doesn't she go with you?" Jiang Nan asked again.
"There aren't enough spirit stones. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
Jiang Nan didn't speak immediately, and thought for a moment before saying, "As you said, you are in the upper reaches of the river, and she is downstream, since you can't let her go, why don't you bury the spirit stone where she may go, if she has a heart, she will find the spirit stone and come to you." ”
Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Wu Zhongyuan's heart sank, he was five thousand years ago, Wang Xinran was five thousand years later, if he buried the spirit stone now, theoretically Wang Xinran could get it, but this is only theoretically feasible, five thousand years is too long, the variables are too great, even if he buried a large number of spirit stones, the possibility of Wang Xinran getting it is very small.
"Put this in advance. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, the feasibility of this method still needs to be carefully scrutinized, whether it is feasible or not, now is not the time to do this, it will not be long before the war will start, Wang Xinran does not even know the language at this time, let alone spiritual cultivation, before the end of the war, this matter cannot be put on the agenda.
"It's getting late, go to bed early. Jiang Nan stood up.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, got up to see him off, and explained the reason to Jiang Nan, feeling much more relaxed.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up early to prepare, loaded dry food and drinking water, and Dasha flew everyone to the northwest.
Soon after traveling west, I entered the Kunlun Mountain Boundary, and the matter that was temporarily put on hold yesterday needed to be decided, whether to go to the abandoned temple or not.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan finally decided to go to the broken temple, he couldn't give up easily, he could observe it from a distance, and he didn't necessarily have to go into the temple......
