Chapter 49: The Past of the White Jade Building
Master Wukuan knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Jiang Li's expression, and he couldn't help but laugh a little.
"The old man wants you two to go to one place and do one thing. Master Wubitter told Jiang Li and Song Shuyang the origin of this hairpin.
About 300 years ago, there was a well-known green building and white jade building in Xiangti County, among which there was a top brand, selling art but not selling body, called Liu Qianqian, and many dignitaries and nobles flocked to her.
Liu Qianqian is full of poetry and books, she is beautiful, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she has earned enough silver taels for Bai Yulou.
One day, a scholar came to Baiyulou, who was also from a scholarly family, named Ye Xi.
This scholar is not here to have fun, but he heard that Liu Qianqian's writing is good, so he came to see it.
There were a lot of people watching the play, and the two really competed, and the final result was actually not superior.
The two agreed to continue the game on the second day.
After seven days of competition, both of them were in the middle of the match, and neither of them refused to bow their heads.
In just seven days, Ye Xi and Liu Qianqian fell in love with each other, and they made a private commitment for life. The hosta of Qionghua is the love token that Ye Xi gave to Liu Qianqian.
Ye Xi's home is the door of the study, and it is impossible to ask a dusty woman to be his wife, so naturally he does not agree to this marriage.
Therefore, the two agreed to elope and meet at a bridge outside the city, regardless of everything here.
But on the day of elopement, Ye Xi did not come, leaving Liu Qianqian to wait from early morning to sunset.
In the end, Liu Qianqian was arrested by Bai Yulou's people and forcibly took her to pick up guests.
Liu Qianqian was naturally unwilling, she had already read poetry and books, and she had already committed herself to Ye Xi, a lover, and her heart was on him. Even if Ye Xi didn't keep the contract, she didn't want to go with the flow, and since then she has become a woman with thousands of pillows with jade arms and thousands of lips.
But Bai Yulou's old bustard was unwilling, so he secretly drugged her and handed her over.
After waking up, Liu Qianqian was in pain.
Her temperament changed greatly, she bought off Bai Yulou's subordinates, got some medicine, poisoned the entire Bai Yulou people, and finally set a fire to burn the rich Bai Yulou.
Liu Qianqian's hands were covered with blood, and she was unwilling to go to the underworld to reincarnate, so she finally turned into a powerful ghost, disturbing the peace of the people around her. By chance, a passing Taoist priest trapped her in the building, saying that he wanted her to resolve the hatred in her heart before she could leave the ruins of the White Jade Tower.
Three hundred years later, about sixty years ago, Master Wuku, who was still young, passed by Xiangti County and heard about the Baiyulou, so he wanted to chant the scriptures to resolve the resentment in his heart for Liu Qianqian.
But who knows, Liu Qianqian has become a ghost cultivator, and chanting can't surpass her, unless it can resolve the resentment in her heart.
Master Wukuan knew that his cultivation was not enough, so he could only return disappointed, thinking that there was always someone who could do it.
It just so happened that I met an old Taoist priest, who handed over the white hosta to the master of Wuku, saying that after sixty years, all grievances will have results, and this white hosta will be useful.
Now it has been exactly sixty years, Jiang Li and Song Shuyang have come to the door.
One is the only disciple of Taiyiguan, and the other is a disciple of Maoshan, and Master Wukuan knows that these two people are the key.
After listening to Master Wuku's words, Jiang Li was inexplicably a little curious about the old Taoist, "Master, the Taoist priest more than three hundred years ago and the old Taoist priest behind him, aren't they the ones we look at too much?"
The Buddha said, "Don't say, just go forward." Master Wukuan clasped his hands together, "Go ahead." ”
"The younger generation should do their best to accomplish this. Jiang left his chin and left, carrying his cloth bag.
As for Song Shuyang's opinion, there is no need to consider it, he has already gotten on Jiangli's thief ship and can't get down.
After leaving Ganquan Temple, Song Shuyang took the map and simply checked it, probably knowing the location of Xiangti County.
went all the way, and three days later, the two arrived in Shanti County.
"Lao Jiang, I finally arrived in the town, I think, we should go and inquire about the news of the white jade building first, what do you think?" Song Shuyang winked at Jiang Li.
As soon as Jiang Li saw his face, he knew what he had in mind.
With shy eyebrows and peach blossoms, he properly wants to go to the land of fireworks.
"Didn't I say you, do you have money? With the little silver on you, can you find a girl?" Jiang Li's face was black, "Don't look at me, I'm poorer, there is no poorer cultivator in this world than me." ”
Song Shuyang looked at it casually, and suddenly laughed incomprehensibly.
"Didn't I say, Lao Jiang, you're not as smart as me, didn't we say okay last time, we want to go to chivalrous and righteous, rob the rich and help the poor? Song Shuyang's chin raised.
Jiang Li followed Song Shuyang's gaze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This guy really hit the idea on the people of Longhu Mountain.
In the direction that Song Shuyang indicated just now, there was a gambling house, and on the small flag outside, a tiger's head was embroidered.
Obviously, Song Shuyang meant to go to this gambling house to earn some money, and let out a sigh of relief.
It's good to imagine, with an onmyoji like Jiang Li, it's not a problem to get some money casually.
But now, Jiang Li didn't plan to go, he brought a mission.
"I'll talk about the matter of Longhu Mountain later, let's go to that Baiyulou first to see the situation, haven't you heard what Master Wukuan said? That woman, what happened more than three hundred years ago, do you think it's so easy to deal with? The ghost cultivation of more than three hundred years is definitely different from ordinary ghosts, so you must be fully prepared. Jiang Li spoke seriously.
It doesn't matter what else happens, but when it comes to his own life, Jiang Li still has to be cautious.
Song Shuyang spread his hands, but he didn't object to Jiang Li's words.
"Yes, then let's go and see it first. It's just that I don't quite understand, why didn't the master say that Ye Xi's man, did he forget that man, or is there something else hidden?"
In fact, this is also what Jiang Li wants to know, but since Master Wukuan didn't say it specifically, it means that he may not know very well.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li had a plan in his mind.
"No matter how much, find the white jade building first, but you can't go deeper, just observe outside. Jiang Li groaned.
Subsequently, the two inquired all the way and found the ruins of the White Jade Tower.
Every generation of people in Shanti County knows about the White Jade Tower, and everyone tries not to get close to the White Jade Tower.
It is also because of the existence of Baiyulou that the number of people in Xiangti County is much smaller than that of an ordinary county.
Jiang Li stood in front of the ruins and carefully looked at the white jade building.
From the outside, the wood has been burned to charcoal, but it still retains the shape of a two-story building, and it occupies a lot of land. The reason why it did not collapse is that it was built with a mixture of stone and wood.
At this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew towards Jiang Li and Song Shuyang, and the two looked at each other and knew it in their hearts.
