Chapter 100: Goodbye
When Du Bai appeared on the boat, he could see from a distance a young man in a blue robe in the seat with a happy face and stood up to greet him.
It was Sheng Yunting.
"Brother Du, you're finally here!"
Sheng Yunting greeted with a smile.
Hearing this, the other men and women around who were still talking to each other stopped their movements for a moment and looked at the people who came curiously.
The title of Brother Du is still quite unfamiliar.
At this glance, they became more and more puzzled, after all, although the scholar in front of them was good-looking, he was sick and weak and did not seem to be rich, and he had never heard of a nearby family surnamed Du on weekdays, so he looked very strange at this moment, how could he be so familiar with the third son of the Sheng family?
Especially when he saw Su Zhirou following behind him, his eyes were even more surprised.
Su Zhirou and they naturally knew each other, after all, they were already old friends in this society. But the newcomer had a good relationship with both of them at the same time......
It's a bit unpredictable.
It wasn't until they secretly inquired about the name and background of this person that they were a little surprised, but the thoughts of friendship that had been born in the hearts of a few people had also disappeared, and there was less curiosity in the eyes that looked at Du Bai, but a little more contempt.
"It turned out to be the son-in-law of the Su family......"
Several women chuckled and looked at him with a bit of teasing eyes.
Du Bai could naturally feel the sight of these people, and he didn't have much to do about it, and he didn't care about it.
This is indeed the true status of the son-in-law in this era, and in the eyes of most people, those who become rich are a manifestation of incompetence, and no one looks down on them, and they belong to a rather inferior category in class society.
You may not feel this kind of special in Su Fu, but if you go out and go outside, then it will be quite obvious.
However, it was a little surprising that there was another person with a completely different attitude, as if he was surprised to meet an old friend.
"Brother Du, long time no see!"
The voice was a little familiar, Du Bai looked up in surprise, but saw a slightly unexpected figure - Xu Zhiyan.
It was the young man who had visited Nalanruo Temple together in Yongxu Village before!
I didn't think he was here too!
After he asked, Xu Zhiyan smiled: "Brother Du doesn't know, this gathering was led by me, in order to exchange with each other what we have gained recently. ”
Hearing this, Du Bai looked at the guy in front of him again, it turned out that this person was the host tonight?
If you want to have such an appeal and such a power of action, you can't do it without a certain family background and financial resources. It's just a little strange that he hasn't heard of the famous Xu family nearby......
Could it be foreign?
It is naturally not necessary to explore the roots, Du Bai just remembered it in his heart for a while, and then sat down under Xu Zhiyan's greeting, he deliberately chose a position in a relatively corner, and no one disturbed him next to him, so he could be more comfortable, and picked up the fruit on the table next to him and ate it, which was quite comfortable.
And Su Zhirou had already sat down very unceremoniously at the women's club and whispered, sometimes looking at him twice, and then quickly shifting her gaze as if she was afraid that he would find out, looking like a thief, and I don't know what these little girls are talking about.
However, Du Bai was not idle after all, because Sheng Yunting, a sticky spirit, quickly changed his seat to him again, chattering non-stop, with an excited look.
Du Bai could only chew the fruit boringly while perfunctory "uh-huh". This Sheng Yunting is too familiar and a little troublesome, but he hopes to be quieter.
It wasn't until a moment later, seeing that the guests had almost arrived, Xu Zhiyan got up and clapped his hands to signal everyone to pay attention to him, and said with a smile: "Everyone, thank you for being able to gather together in the next face today and exchange your experience in the recent past......"
These scenes are probably a common problem, and the leaders can't help but say the last two sentences. Xu Zhiyan was the same, but fortunately, it was not a very serious occasion here, so he didn't say much, but finally smiled mysteriously: "But today's gathering is different from the past." ”
Seeing that everyone around him was instantly refreshed, and he looked interested and listening carefully, Du Bai also understood that the point was coming.
"Maybe you've heard of it before, that's right, I've met three masters of the Dao before, who can really subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the masters of the Dao Manifestation of the Dao! They originally wanted to rush to the northern drought to get rid of the demons, but they happened to pass through this place recently, and they did not hesitate to come forward to make friends, so they persuaded them to stay here for a few days, and by the way, they could also show me and other mortals the true Dao! ”
It's just that although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew very well in their hearts that a lot of money was spent in this "persuasion".
This can't help but make Du Bai a little envious of the willfulness of the rich.
As soon as the words fell, a few family members carrying a sedan chair respectfully invited these "masters" to the painting boat.
I saw that the one in the front should be an old Taoist priest, wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe with a gossip array, two whiskers swaying up and down with the sedan chair, but his face was a little not angry and self-threatening, one hand pressed on the handle, the other hand was holding the floating dust, slowly opened his eyes and swept over the people present, and looked at Xu Zhiyan with a slight bow.
The one in the middle is a monk wearing monk's robes, but his whole body is a little incongruously round, but he is also holding a circle of Buddhist beads in his hand, closing his eyes and concentrating, and his mouth is slightly closed as if he is silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
The last person to be carried up was a middle-aged woman who couldn't see the way.
The appearance is plain, the face is a little dark and thin, the thin ankles sitting cross-legged on the sedan chair are not wearing shoes, the yellow mud and the stars and red spots are faintly visible, but the shoulders are draped with a thick black robe, which makes it difficult to see what is under him.
And her eyes were as sharp as a falcon, glowing with a bit of cold coldness, and they all shivered subconsciously when they swept over everyone present, as if they were being targeted by something weird.
There is something unspeakable about the evil in the whole person, and many people don't even dare to look at it!
Compared with the first two "masters" of the Taoist Buddha, the middle-aged woman in the end is more like a demon......
"I'll introduce you below."
After the arrival of several masters, especially the appearance of the middle-aged woman with a strange face at the end, it seemed to make the atmosphere a little tense, Xu Zhiyan took the initiative to introduce to everyone when he saw this, first of all, the Taoist priest: "This is Daoist Jin Hao and Master Guangchang, the two of them are unfathomable, and they have personally subdued a tiger demon of the common people!" ”
