Chapter 42: Peach Blossoms and Red Rain
It was almost early winter, and the cold wind was steep, dyeing the cascading maple forests in the back mountains all over the twilight, adding a touch of murderous atmosphere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info walked along the winding mountain road to the summit, along the way the autumn wind was whining, the dead leaves were swirling, and everything was silent.
Bai Zisu silently followed behind Bai Yun and Bai Luo, and from their occasional conversation, she discerned all kinds of information about the Bai family, and found that what they said was basically consistent with the introduction in the novel, except for the unknown age of Qin Lao and Xu Huanting, who had never heard of it. But now that she has just entered the Bai family, she is still in a hurry to inquire about these things.
Finally, Bai Yun and Bai Luo stopped in front of a small courtyard at the top of the mountain, and they took a short path, so they arrived at the side gate of the small courtyard. The walls of this small courtyard are gray and peeling, quite a bit of time sedimentation, the side door is made of ordinary wooden boards, and there are some obvious signs of decay in the cracks of the door, but the iron lock on the door valve is still locked and stable.
Bai Yun took a step forward, didn't break out directly, just curled his two fingers and knocked lightly on the door.
"It's finally here, I really don't understand why my eldest brother chose to be here, I am half tired to death every time I climb the mountain, how can I still have the strength to fight with him?" Bai Luo bent down, kneaded her calf that was sore from climbing the mountain, and complained quietly.
Bai Yun glanced at Bai Luo with hatred that iron is not made of steel, and said: "The eldest brother chose here, firstly, because this is the place where the ancestors lived, remembering the predecessors, thinking about the present, and taking this as a lesson to eliminate laziness; The second reason is that the mountain roads here are quiet and deep, and you can use your best strength when you hike up and calm your mind. ”
Hearing Bai Yun's explanation, Bai Shisu suddenly understood that Bai Lingyue's intentions were so deep, if it was really as he said, Bai Lingyue's heart should be extremely good.
Bai Luo pouted unconvinced, and said, "Of course I know the intentions of the eldest brother, and I don't need you to explain." ”
Bai Yun smiled contemptuously and said, "I don't bother to explain to you, a rotten wood who can only dress up, I'm explaining it to her." ”
was suddenly said by Bai Yun, Bai Shisu bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the third lady." ”
Bai Yun was very satisfied with Bai Zisu's humble attitude, she raised her chin slightly, and said with a smile: "It's good that you understand." ”
A sound of chains clanging came into his ears, and after a while, a young man in Tsing Yi opened the side door and said respectfully: "Let the third miss, the seventh miss wait for a long time, the young master is still thinking about why the two young ladies haven't come yet." ”
"I'm really sorry for making my eldest brother miss me." Even so, there was still inadvertent joy on Bai Yun's face.
"Hehe, then let's hurry in, don't let the eldest brother wait for a long time." Bai Luo clapped her hands happily and walked inside.
The little guy in Tsing Yi followed behind him as a matter of course, but when he looked at Bai Shisu, he was obviously stunned, he grew up in the Bai family, and he was familiar with the young masters and ladies of the Bai family, but the woman in front of him had never seen it, and he remembered the instructions that the young master Yue had told them, so he asked: "This young lady looks at her face very much, I don't know which girl it is?" ”
Bai Shisu didn't respond, and instead looked at the two young ladies who had brought her here.
Bai Luo saw Bai Shisu's gaze, and then explained with a smile: "This is Sister Shisu who came all the way from our family, the eldest brother said that only people from the Bai family can enter here, and Sister Shisu can also come in." ”
Hearing this, the little guy in Tsing Yi immediately apologized: "There are many offenses, all villains have eyes and no beads......"
"It's okay, I didn't explain my identity to you, and it's your duty to keep me out." Bai Shiso waved his hand unconcernedly.
"Don't delay, take us there." Bai Yun urged impatiently.
"Okay, three young ladies please go with the minions." The little guy in Tsing Yi hurriedly led the way.
As soon as Bai Shiso Fu entered the courtyard, what caught his eyes was a large peach blossom forest like pink smoke and rain, among the scattered branches and flowers, the smoke and clouds, floating in the meantime, vaguely like spring, walking in a dream.
"How's it going, isn't it good here, Sister Shiso?" Bai Luo deliberately slowed down her pace and walked side by side with Bai Shisu, she was petite and exquisite, half a head shorter than Bai Shiso, she could only raise her white and slender neck, open a pair of watery eyes, and look at Bai Shisu with a smile, which was quite cute.
"It's very good." Bai Shisu replied very sincerely.
"Hehe, every peach blossom here was planted by Qin Lao himself, and it is full of prestige, even if His Majesty Qingzong's favorite little princess wanted to borrow the peach blossom forest to entertain guests, Qin Lao did not agree." Bai Luo puffed up his chest, extremely proud, but said in a low voice, "But don't underestimate these peach blossoms, these peach blossom trees are all planted by Qin Lao according to a kind of maze layout, if it weren't for the eldest brother and his servants to lead the way, no one would want to go out." ”
Bai Yun walked in the front and warned Bai Luo who was chattering: "You are the one who talks the most along the way, and you are noisy, do you want to tell everyone who comes into the Bai family the secret of the Bai family's organs?" ”
When Bai Luo heard this, she puffed up her little face aggrievedly and argued: "Isn't this what I see Sister Zisu fall into?" What's more, she is also a member of the Bai family, and she will live in the Bai family for a while, she will know these sooner or later, and there is no difference between saying it and not saying it. ”
Bai Yun glanced at Bai Luo, and then retracted his gaze, not caring about Bai Luo.
Bai Shisu followed behind them, quietly watching their every move, but deliberately minimized his presence, unwilling to communicate with them too much. This Bai Yun has a cold temperament and a haughty heart, but Bai Luo is warm and can speak kindly, as if it is a completely opposite existence, and there are many contradictions between words, but they complement each other's shortcomings.
Sensing the stalemate of these young ladies of the Bai family, the little girl in Tsing Yi changed the topic and said: "It is not only the eldest young master who came back this time, but also the two guests who came together, they should be the young master's senior brothers, because I heard that the peach blossoms here are blooming very well, so I came here on purpose." Now they should be competing in martial arts, but they don't know who wins and who loses......"
The sound of the sonorous collision of weapons came from a distance, and Bai Shisu turned to look at the layers of peach blossom forest in front of him, in a wide clearing, two figures rose into the air at the same time, the swords were wrong, and the spiritual power was scattered, turning into a strong wind, setting off a wave of heat in the air, and shaking off the petals and peach blossoms around him.
In an instant, the peach blossoms fell like red rain, and their eyes were lost.
Just when everyone was amazed by such a beautiful scenery, the white perilla jumped up suddenly, and the green silk was flying.
A cold light, with the intent of slaughter, set off countless peach blossoms and rain.
Bai Shisu only felt that her cheeks were cold, and a few strands of hair were cut off, and the original cold light flying sword grazed her cheeks, narrowly cutting through her face.
With the "Wow! With a thud, the flying sword plunged deep into the thick trunk of the tree.
"Hahaha, junior brother, can't you even hold the sword steadily? Other people's cultivation is constantly improving, why don't you advance or retreat! The hearty laughter resounded throughout the peach blossom forest, and the rugged man put down the big sword, turned to Bai Shisu, who was able to dodge, and ordered, "Hey, little girl over there, hurry up and return the sword to your eldest young master!" ”
Standing opposite the rugged man, the young man with a handsome and elegant face like a scholar was full of helplessness, he did not refute the man's ridicule, but turned to Bai Shisu and apologized: "This girl, I'm very sorry, I missed it to let you be frightened like this." ”
"Bai Lingyue?" Bai Shisu did not say that he would forgive this incident, but asked about the identity of this person.
"It's down there, girl, you're ......"
Before Bai Lingyue finished speaking, he saw Bai Shisu turn around and pull out the sharp sword on the trunk of the peach blossom tree, but did not return it to Bai Lingyue, but pointed the tip of the sword at the rugged man, raised his eyes and asked, "Who is he?" ”
"Hey, this little girl is good, there are so many beautiful embryos in your Bai family!" The rugged man looked at the heroic white perilla unscrupulously, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I am the senior brother of the eldest young master of your family, Baili Chong." What's the matter, the little beauty has a crush on me? ”
Hearing such unshruly and indiscreet words, Bai Lingyue frowned in displeasure and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, let's stop the joke." ”
Baili Chong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Okay, okay, junior brother, you really look like a scholar who reads and reads, where is there a little bit of the free and easy pleasure that a cultivator should have?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Lingyue was about to open his lips and sneer, but was preempted by another cold voice.
"Bai Shisu, I specially asked Brother Baili for a lesson or two, it is best for me to understand what is the free and easy pleasure of a cultivator."
