Chapter 41: The Great Disciple of the Founding Mountain
followed the old man Li Kun all the way to a broken courtyard in a deep alley, which was originally a mill of a restaurant, but later because the restaurant suddenly closed, this mill was relatively remote and dilapidated, so no one came to take it back, and finally became Li Kun's residence.
Walking into the small courtyard with the smell of dilapidation everywhere, a strong smell of dry rancid smell entered Bai Mei's nose.
smiled at Bai Mei embarrassedly, Li Kun was afraid that Bai Mei would dislike this.
Pushing open the room with half of the roof collapsed, Li Kun gently lifted a thin quilt, and Li Zhuang, who was unconscious on the earthen kang, lay on it with a pale face.
"Hmm, that's not right!" Bai Mei stepped forward to look at the unconscious Li Zhuang, and Tang Li suddenly spoke.
Hearing Tang Li speak, Bai Mei suddenly looked down at the rather handsome young man in front of him, but except for his face being a little pale and a black palm print on his chest, Bai Mei really found anything abnormal.
"White boy, you may have found a treasure this time. There was a hint of surprise in his voice, and Tang Li said: "This kid, after being poisoned by such a deep black scorch, in three or four days, he should have lost his weight to a human shape." But you see that he is now, except for his face is a little bad, his body has not changed at all. ”
"And what does that mean?" asked Bai Mei.
"It shows that this kid has amazing potential, and maybe he has some special bloodline, so he can resist the invasion of black scorching poison!" Tang Li said firmly.
As soon as the thought moved, Bai Mei flipped his hand and took out the bone mirror from the ring.
Holding the bone mirror with his right hand, the true qi in Bai Mei's body slowly flowed into the bone mirror.
With a soft buzz, a misty blue light suddenly appeared on the originally simple and unpretentious bone mirror.
"The mirror shines on the bones, and the root law appears by itself!" With a low shout, the misty blue light in Bai Mei's hand projected onto Li Zhuang's body, and a few lines of small characters began to slowly emerge on the originally unrecognizable mirror.
The sword bone is rare in the world!
His eyes swept over the two lines of small words on the Daozhao bone mirror, and the attribute panel in Bai Mei's eyes suddenly jumped out:
Main Quest: The First Apprentice
Accept Li Zhuang as a disciple
Mission duration: three days
Quest Punishment: Erasure
The cruel punishment that has never been done before made Bai Mei feel a deep chill even from those two words.
It seems that this apprentice has to be accepted. Secretly said in his heart, Bai Mei turned his hand and took the bone mirror.
The content of the bone mirror can only be seen by the user, and Tang Li, who doesn't know what Bai Mei has done, also asks in his mind: "How is it?"
"There was some accident, this child, I had to save it. Frowning and thinking for a while, Bai Mei turned to Old Man Li Kun and said, "The red-robed man before, do you remember any characteristics?"
Feature...... Oh yes. The man was tall, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed black boots and embroidering a terrible grimace. After thinking about it hard, Li Kun replied.
"What do you want to do? You can't find that person for so long. Puzzled by Bai Mei's approach, Tang Li said.
Smiled mysteriously, and said with white eyebrows: "Soon you will know." ”
gave the remaining silver taels to the old man Li Kun, and Bai Mei told him to buy some food, don't go out for a few days, and wait for him to come back.
Nodding gratefully, looking at the back of Bai Mei leaving, Li Kun gently stroked Li Zhuang's forehead, and the love in his eyes flashed.
......
Out of the deep alley, Bai Mei inquired all the way, and finally came to the grand building, looking at a plaque on the building, Bai Mei smiled slightly.
Jin'an City Yamen!
Walking up the steps, as soon as Bai Mei approached the gate, two officials in black and red official uniforms stepped forward to stop Bai Mei: "Who dares to break into the yamen privately!"
Showing the token of the Nine Passes Patrol Staff, Bai Mei said: "I want to see the general affairs of the Yamen of Jin'an City." ”
In the hundred cities of Youzhou, each city has a yamen, and there are two general affairs and one city lord in the yamen.
Unlike outside the southern pass, the city lords of the Central Plains states are all monks with extraordinary strength, and generally speaking, the major and minor affairs in the city are managed separately by two general affairs, and the city lord represents more of a deterrent.
If Bai Mei wants to save Li Zhuang's name, he must find the Red Ghost Sect monk who poisoned him, which is naturally difficult to do with his own strength, but if there is assistance from the government, maybe there is really a glimmer of hope.
The officer, who was still a little impatient, suddenly changed his face when he saw the token in Bai Mei's hand.
The token of the Nine Levels of the Terran symbolizes the highest security apparatus of the Terran.
The expression changed upside down in the blink of an eye, and the two officials said with a smile: "It turned out to be the adult of Jiuguan, you wait, the little one will go and report it." ”
After saying that, one of the officials trotted into the yamen, and after a short time led a man with a long beard and an official uniform walked out quickly.
Seeing the white eyebrows from afar, the long-bearded man frowned at first, obviously not believing that such a young man would be an official in the Nine Levels of the Human Race.
"In Xia Yuqiu, who is looking for me? Knowingly asked, Yu Qiu said.
Taking a step forward, Bai Mei showed his token: "Under Bai Mei, the Terran Nine Levels Patrol." Lord Yu is fortunate to meet. ”
His gaze stayed on the token in Bai Mei's hand for a few seconds, Yu Qiu's face suddenly warmed, and he smiled at Bai Mei: "It turned out to be Bai Patrol Ginseng, Bai Patrol Ginseng is really young and promising." White patrol staff, please come in. “
greeted Bai Mei all the way to the living room of the Yamen, let Bai Mei sit down, and instructed his subordinates to serve fragrant tea, Yu Qiu said: "I don't know what happened to Bai Xun Shen looking for Yu." ”
Time was pressing, so Bai Mei got straight to the point and said, "Don't hide it, I'm here to find Master Yu this time." I hope that Lord Yu will help me find the trace of a monk who came to Jin'an City about three or four days ago, dressed in a red robe and with a tall figure. ”
"Dressed in a red robe...... Isn't the person Bai Xun looking for from the Red Ghost Sect?" The hand holding the teacup froze, and Yu Qiu looked at Bai Mei and said.
Nodding, Bai Mei said, "Exactly." ”
Taking a deep breath, Yu Qiu slowly put down the teacup: "Bai Xun can know that the Red Ghost Sect is one of the largest sects in my Youzhou, and its sect power is entrenched in the entire Youzhou. The White Patrol wants to check on their people, but the Nine Levels think that the Red Ghost Sect ......"
"White boy, don't explain it to him. This old guy, if you deny that it is not the Nine Levels investigating the Red Ghost Sect, he will use this as a reason to refuse to assist you.
Jiuguan performs his duties and may not report to any official other than the Taiwei Division. You don't have to answer him. Tang Li, who has a hundred years of experience, saw through the trap in Yu Qiu's words at a glance, and reminded Bai Mei with his words.
"Lord Yu, this matter involves the nine important secrets, and I can't tell you. Nodding secretly, Bai Mei said slightly apologetically.
"That's right. The eyelids lowered to hide the glimmer of light that flashed in his eyes, Yu Qiu said: "But the information given by Bai Xunshen is too general, the daily flow of hundreds of thousands of people in Jin'an City, to find a red-robed monk among so many people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
Yu Qiu's demeanor and tone were very much like some service organizations in Bai Mei's previous life. Secretly pursed his lips, Bai Mei reached out and took out ten lower grade spirit stones, pretended to get up and walked to Yu Qiu's side: "Lord Yu, as the general affairs of Jin'an City, believes that this little thing is definitely not difficult. ”
Feeling the slippery touch of the spirit stone in the palm of his hand, Yu Qiu's face suddenly flushed a lot: "Bai Xunshen, this is really ...... Alas, since it is the important task of the nine passes, then the official will do his best to help. At this time tomorrow, if Bai Inspector comes to listen to the letter again, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Sure enough, spending money is easy to do. After a few more words of greeting with Yu Qiu, Bai Mei got up and left the Yamen of Jin'an City.
Bai Mei left, Yu Qiu, who was sitting in the living room, played with the spirit stone in his hand with a thoughtful face, and after thinking for a while, Yu Qiu got up and walked into the inner hall behind the living room, where two Yu Qiu's henchmen were waiting.
"Your Excellency. Seeing Yu Qiu, the two henchmen knelt down and saluted.
"Alright, get up. Putting the spirit stone given by Bai Mei into a small box, Yu Qiu rubbed his eyebrows: "Recently, have any monks from the Red Ghost Sect been here in the city?"
"Back to my lord. Yes, in the past month, a total of three groups of people from the Red Ghost Sect have come. The henchman replied.
"Did you have it three or four days ago?"
"Yes, four days ago, at noon, a monk from the Red Ghost Sect came to Jin'an City. ”
"Go, find out where the man is as soon as possible, and report to me at once. ”
"It's my lord!" leaned over and saluted, and the two henchmen walked away quickly.
How could the Red Ghost Sect provoke the Nine Levels of the Human Race...... Subconsciously rubbing his fingers, Yu Qiu squinted his eyes slightly, guessing all kinds of possibilities in his heart......
......
Bai Mei came back from the Yamen of Jin'an City, Li Kun bought some gruel steamed buns and wanted to feed them to Li Zhuang, but Li Zhuang fell into a coma and his teeth were tightly closed, no matter how Li Kun fed him, he couldn't feed it.
"You don't have to worry, you can see the news of the thief tomorrow, and I will help you terminate the contract and recover it when the time comes." Looking at the sad face of the old man Li Kun, Bai Mei couldn't help but say comfortingly.
"Thank you so much. Nodding, Li Kun looked at Li Zhuang in a coma, his thin body full of worry.
"This Lord ......"
"Just call me Whiteeyebrow. ”
"Uh...... Bai Mei, why are you so concerned about saving my grandson. After hesitating for a moment, Li Kun finally expressed the doubts in his heart.
Looking at the old man's face, Bai Mei smiled: "I won't hide it from you, this grandson of yours has a very good talent." I want to take him as a disciple and make him a monk. ”
"Repair...... Monk, are you a monk?" In the first half of his life, he was also a knowledgeable businessman, and Li Kun naturally knew what the word monk meant.
Seeing that Li Kun was a little unconvinced, Bai Mei spread his palms slightly, and a wisp of sword qi slowly floated up.
"You, you, you, are you really a monk?" The monk representing the power beyond mortals made Li Kun's eyes widen and he stammered when he spoke.
"Believe it now. Bai Mei smiled and said, "Your grandson is very talented, and he can also become a monk." Would you like to make him my apprentice?"
"Willing, willing, how could I not be willing. Li Kun, who didn't know where to put his hands in excitement, suddenly turned a lot rosy on his face that was full of sadness and withering.
Li Kun, who was depressed by his wife and children, would have died in a garbage heap if he hadn't met this child given to him by God, and it was this child who gave him hope to continue to live.
Li Kun, who is old and knows that he has not lived much, has always been worried that if he dies, will his grandson be able to live a good life.
This time, Li Zhuang suddenly fell ill, which made Li Kun's heart tightly pinched.
Now that he has met Bai Mei, Li Zhuang's illness has hope, and Bai Mei also said that he would accept him as an apprentice and make him a monk of the human world. This series of good things made Li Kun feel happier than what happened to him.
Just when Li Kun was overjoyed, Li Zhuang, who had been unconscious, suddenly made a sound......
