Chapter 90: Meeting
At ten o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the Immortal Clan, Chu Bai and Rong Zheng were standing at the entrance of the ancient village, and the people in black clothes were already standing there waiting for them, and when they saw them, they bowed politely.
It's Elder East.
"Chu Bai, he has grown into a big child, very similar to your grandmother. If you put on your grandmother's floral dress, I'd think I'd go back in time. Elder Dong's tone was kind, as if he was chattering, and Chu Bai smiled politely.
"Hello."
"Rong Zheng, you came here when you were a child, do you remember what I said to you at that time?"
Rong Zheng frowned slightly, what happened when he was a child, and then his grandfather found a psychologist to hypnotize him, and Yan Promise also tried to explore that memory, but it was always fruitless. But lately a sentence has been swirling in his head.
If you want to be together, you can only wait for the next life.
Can you only wait for the next life?
The voice was vague and uncertain, but after hearing Elder Dong's voice again, he could be sure that the voice belonged to Elder Dong. It turned out that it was destined a long time ago that the two would meet, but in the end they would be separated.
"Yes."
Elder Dong didn't speak, but led the two people to the ancestral hall. Along the way, Chu Bai looked at the surrounding scenery curiously, and found that everything here was very ancient, and the emblem of the snake under the lotus was hung at the door of every house.
I remembered that a long time ago, even my grandmother took out a ring in the belly of a snake in front of them. Again, I understand that the Immortals think it is really ancient.
Along the way, many tribesmen passed by them, looking at them with curious eyes. "Elder, are the people here free to choose whether to bring black clothes or not?"
"No, the people here can not wear it, but they must wear it above the status of the left envoy. Because the people here don't usually go out, but the messengers want it, and they are responsible for communicating with the outside world. ”
"So, did the Immortals participate in the events in France three years ago?"
The Elder's steps paused, then regained his speed and moved forward. "Yes, I originally sent the left envoy to save you, but I don't know why the left envoy chose to kill you. The left envoy happens to be in the clan today, maybe you can go and see her. ”
"You're here today just for the sake of the left envoy, right? In fact, no matter what she does, Xiao Jiu, you have to believe that the child is for your good. ”
Chu Bai pulled his lips and smiled, "Elder don't worry, Chu Bai doesn't dare to find fault here, he just wants to meet her." ”
When Chu Bai saw Zuo Envoy, he was in the cell in the basement, and Elder Dong said that Zuo Envoy happened to be there today, but in fact, she was here every day. He has been held here since he was punished three years ago.
It was the back of a woman, with long hair and a shawl, and a thin figure, as if looking up at the small patch of sunlight above her head.
When he heard the sound, he turned his head sideways and looked at the door, but his eyes widened when he saw someone coming. Compared with the surprise of the left envoy, Chu Bai was much quieter, and when he saw her, he just sighed, and a helpless chuckle hung on the corner of his lips.
How should a pair of very good friends feel when they meet again after many years?
Chu Bai felt calm and reassured, although she was excited, but in the end she only hooked the corners of her lips, after so many years, she learned not to show her emotions, and learned to use a faint expression to declare her mood, or rather, she was used to it.
As the saying goes, you won't be able to take off your mask if you wear it for a long time. Naturally, it became a habit.
And what about the left envoy? Surprised, guilty, and sad, and more at a loss. Surprised by Chu Bai's appearance, guilt had attacked her, sad that they met each other with such sobriety, at a loss, because they didn't know how to face Chu Bai.
For a while, he looked away in a little panic, not daring to look at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai finally felt sad, and he couldn't help but say that the left envoy became like this, all because of himself. For a while, he was also a little guilty, and withdrew his hand from Rong Zheng's hand, and Chu Bai walked behind the left envoy.
It's obviously a short distance, and it's only a few steps away, but Chu Bai feels as if he's walked for centuries, and it's a long time. Finally, he finally stood behind the left envoy, and after a moment of stiffness, he bowed down and hugged the left envoy.
"I'm sorry, Ah Sheng."
The fingers of the person sitting cross-legged moved, and he wanted to laugh but shed tears first, "It's me who should say I'm sorry, three years ago, it was I who wanted to kill you, and I was the one who left without saying goodbye." ”
Chu Bai shook his head, his eyes were also red. "What stupid are you talking about? I know that my Ah Sheng, whatever he does is for my own good. ”
Rong Zheng watched from the sidelines, but he was still a little puzzled, why would Gu Sheng rather kill Chu Bai than let her enter the Immortal Clan?
The question was quickly answered, the Immortals are a mysterious tribe, and everything here is full of mystery. If you want to be an emissary or an elder here, you have to go through a very strict and cruel test.
Even more so the patriarch!
After soaking in the blood pool for seventy-seven and forty-nine hours, you must defeat every member of the clan with your own hands, even if the other party is a child. Moreover, you have to go to the East Garden, where it is said that there are terrible things, whether it is flowers and plants, or fruits, they will devour people alive.
Gu Sheng only said so much, but in fact, it was much more terrifying than that. Because Chu Bai and Rong Zheng saw the fear on Gu Sheng's face.
Obviously, Gu Sheng had reservations, but she didn't want to say that Chu Bai couldn't bear to ask more.
Elder Dong warmly invited them to stay in the clan for a few more days, and Chu Bai was reluctant to take care of his life, although he missed Bai Bao a little, he still stayed.
Late at night, the two best friends were lying on the big bed, and because of Chu Bai's plea, Elder Dong agreed to release Gu Sheng. chatting with each other about the thoughts that I haven't seen for many years, as well as the interesting things that have happened over the years, sad things, and family routines are also pulled out to talk.
As if she was eager to fill in half of the gaps in the past few years, Rong Zheng sat helplessly on the stone bench outside and watched the stars, not because she had no place to live, but because she found that without Chu Bai by her side, it was difficult to sleep.
The two women were chatting enthusiastically, listening to the laughter in the room, Rong Zheng thought pitifully that he might fall out of favor. Originally, a white treasure had already made Chu Bai wholeheartedly devote himself to him, and now he only has ordinary thoughts to share with him. Now that there is one more Gu Sheng, he leisurely feels that his future life may not be easy.
I'm afraid that Chu Bai only gave him one-fifth, and as for the remaining four-fifths, three-fifths were Bai Bao's, so there was no doubt about this at all. The remaining fifth is Gu Sheng, looking at the night sky with some grievances, but listening to Chu Bai's cheerful laughter in the room, Rong Zheng couldn't help but be late, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with smiles.
Chu Bai can be happy, for him, it is already the greatest happiness. A fifth is better than nothing. Although he thought so, in fact, Rong Zheng was already thinking about how to toss Chu Bai after he went home...
