Chapter 57: The Mysterious Shadow (1)
Bai Jingfeng stared at his brother, his eyebrows furrowed slightly-Biliuyuan? Could it be that something will happen in the Green Willow Garden in the near future? He took a sip of wine, but for some reason he felt that the taste was not good, and put the wine glass down again, wanting to see the singing and dancing, but the sound of singing and dancing downstairs slowly stopped.

On the bank of the river outside the window, the wicker is blowing in the wind, and there is a delicate painting boat passing along the water, and the ripples on the water surface are like wheels running over, rippling away. At the bow of the boat, there stood a person, his loose sleeves blown by the wind, his hair fluttering, like an ink artist who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, looking at the sparkling water waves, silent, and the water painting boat, painting an ink painting that resembles the south of the Yangtze River.
Bai Moyin paused slightly, then put down his wine glass and slowly stood up.
"Second brother? You-"
Bai Moyin stopped, turned around and said, "Someone invited me to have a drink, but Jing Feng wants to go with me?" Compared with Fang Cai's tranquility and tranquility, Bai Moyin at this time was inexplicably a little more comfortable and open-minded, which made Bai Jingfeng a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" He wondered that there were not many people in this world who could move the second brother.
Bai Moyin pondered for a moment and explained: "Three years ago, on Wudang Mountain, I once competed with a person to try swordsmanship-"
It is not so much a competition, but rather a point-to-point competition, because after the whole competition, there is no victory or defeat, no casualties, and the masters of equal force intersect with swords to know the other party's mind, and it doesn't matter whether it is strong or weak. That time, let Bai Jingfeng pick up a big bargain, he was already talented and intelligent, he had the ability to never forget since he was a child, a wonderful swordsmanship competition, he could see that he was fine, he was idle afterwards, he thought about it carefully, and he benefited a lot.
Bai Moyin was not an aggressive person, he liked to be quiet and tired of fighting since he was a child, and he was already famous all over the world at that time, so he had no intention of competing with others. However, the reason why there was a battle on the top of Wudang Mountain was because the person he met was quite unusual.
"Oh, it's Mingxiao's senior brother." Bai Jingfeng suddenly realized, "He is indeed a rare master." Speaking of which, I watched him seriously from the sidelines at the time, and I had some experience with his swordsmanship, but in the end, I didn't have time to meet him officially. The tone sounded regrettable.
"It's really rude to learn someone else's swordsmanship and not pay homage to it in person." Bai Moyin smiled slightly.
"I can't blame it. Although the man was born in Wudang, he heard Mingxiao say that he had been down the mountain for many years, and it was difficult to find a trace. Besides, the eldest brother once said that those deceased masters have always had very strange personalities, and I don't want to deal with them. ”
Bai Moyin said: "So, don't you want to meet him?" ”
Bai Jingfeng smiled crookedly, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass and toasted Bai Moyin in the air: "Second brother, let's go." ”
As the third son of Yujing Villa, Bai Jingfeng has been arrogant since he was a child, disdainful and does not need to please others, let alone such unknown people, who are looking forward to fame every day. He naturally appreciates the rare master wizards, but in Bai Jingfeng's heart, no matter how outstanding anyone in this world is, how can he be as good as his second brother? He mostly scoffed at it and disdained deep friendship. In front of Bai Moyin, he is usually a willful and ingenious younger brother, but how cold and arrogant Bai Sangongzi is in front of others, no one in his eyes, and his most beloved brother is rarely seen.
At this moment, he took a sip of the wine in the cup, and seeing that Bai Moyin had not left, he said: "Also, Jing Feng knows that he is willful and impulsive, if he accidentally offends his second brother's friend, even if he punishes himself for three cups, it is not enough to apologize." He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, although it was a joke, but with a bit of sincerity.
These words made Bai Moyin show a hint of obvious smile, but Bai Jingfeng was quite puzzled: "Listening to the tone of the second brother, it seems that you appreciate him very much?" "There are many masters in Yujing Villa, not to mention the major altar masters, elders, even Mingxiao who follows the second brother's side, Qin Muyan and the others are by no means general, however, he has never seen Bai Moyin think highly of anyone.
"He's not a simple character." Bai Moyin suddenly looked out the window thoughtfully, his eyes deepening. Wudang Mountain has always produced many talents, and there are countless hermits. Bai Moyin has never been a conceited person, even if he defeated Yan Xueya, who is known as the number one in the world at a young age, but he knows that there are countless masters in this world, and real cultivators are probably not in the rivers and lakes at all. As far as he knew, the only person who could fight with him in dozens of moves without revealing defeat was the Qingyu Dao Master who had been practicing in retreat for many years, and that person was also his mentor, who had given him a lot of guidance when he was at a loss. However, three years ago, he met such a strange person with Jinyue Wudang and his party, and he was naturally surprised.
This person claims to be a disciple of Wudang, and Mingxiao was born in Wudang, which is enough to prove that this matter is true, but Bai Moyin believes that this person is far from being as simple as it seems.
"Those who can be appreciated by the second brother in this world will naturally not be ordinary people." Bai Jingfeng commented.
Bai Moyin was silent for a while, and then lightly instructed him: "Tell Boss He that Miss Cen is my honored guest, don't slack off." Before the words fell, the people had already gone down the stairs, leaving only lingering sounds. Bai Jingfeng looked at his back, frowned slightly, he saw that person stepped over the threshold, walked out of the half-river building, walked slowly on the street, the quaint and atmospheric painting boat docked on the bank of the river, a group of birds and birds flew up, through the willows and water, free and melodious.
It was dusk, the sun was setting in the west, the wicker was swaggering, and the golden waves on the water were swaying like fish scales. Bai Moyin stopped on the shore and looked at the man in front of him who was standing by the water in plain clothes: "Since you have arrived in Luoyang, why don't you go to Biliuyuan to live for a while first." ”
The man leaned over slightly, and pulled up a smile: "I heard that Biliuyuan has a distinguished guest, so it's really not good to be surprised." His profile face was a little blurred in the sunlight, with a faint halo, which was set against the hazy artistic conception of the riverbank painting boat, with a certain mysterious meaning.
Bai Moyin didn't deny it, and said with a faint smile: "In this way, I didn't think it through. ”
The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected in the sparkling water, and his voice was like rippling water. On the wooden square tabletop, a pot of carved wine and two celadon wine glasses. The man's voice was neither high nor low: "A few days ago, I heard that you were in Wudang, and I went up the mountain with good wine and enthusiasm, but in the end I pounced. After inquiring later, I found out that I had gone to the Purple Cloud Realm. He sighed, probably very sorry for his trip for nothing, "You ran far." ”
"Southern Ziyun has always been mysterious, I have long wanted to see its style, and besides, there are indeed some private matters when I turn it over." Speaking of this, Bai Moyin's speed of speech had slowed down, his eyes fell to the water, the fishing boat docked, and the boatman was moving the boat full of fish to the shore.
"Private?" The man's tone was upward, looking interested, "Would you mind telling me about it?" ”
Bai Moyin didn't hide it, only thought for a moment, and then explained slowly: "In the Western Regions before, I owed a favor to a girl, and I agreed to let her go and see her after returning to the Central Plains. ”
"Oh? Is this the reason? The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone showed some incredulity, "I don't know which girl is so fortunate to be so favored by Mo Yin's son?" There was also a rare look of curiosity in his eyes, as if he felt that this thing was very rare.
Bai Moyin said: "Hua Yue Protector, have you ever heard of it?" ”
"Among the four protectors of the Purple Cloud Palace, the one with the most outstanding appearance and martial arts, I have naturally heard of it." He sighed, "All along, I always said that your temperament is too indifferent, it seems that you don't know you well enough after all, I didn't expect you Bai Moyin to go so far for a girl, and go to great lengths." His exploratory gaze wandered over Bai Moyin's face, as if he still couldn't understand it.
Bai Moyin didn't refute him, he just stared at the wine in his hand, but he didn't drink it, but stared thoughtfully at the wine in the wine glass, and suddenly said: "This year, Yujing Villa will definitely be very lively, according to Mrs. Tan's meaning, my brother's wedding day will be set for August, before that, I don't know if you can enjoy your face and stay in Shangfu Mountain for a few days?" ”
"Do you know that my whereabouts have always been uncertain, and you specially invited me to go up the floating mountain, what do you mean?"
Bai Moyin said slowly with a slightly serious face: "I think that Your Excellency should be willing to make time to listen to me about a past matter. ”
"What can't be said now?" The other party showed a puzzled and a lazy and casual smile, "You have to wait until you go to Fushan, what is the special significance of your eldest brother's wedding to you?" ”
"Naturally, it's something you can't say right now." Bai Moyin replied lightly, "I think Your Excellency will definitely not regret going to the appointment after hearing this." ”
"It's actually sold." The man's originally casual gaze suddenly stopped, his eyes became very complicated, and the silence lasted for a long time, as if thinking about the true intention behind these words, and finally, he finally hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, at your invitation, I will definitely go to Fushan before August." ”
