920 Face Matters
After I drank the wine in the cup, I explained, "Actually, in the past two days, I have been so busy drawing the Thunder Talisman that I have forgotten about Senior Sister Bai's birthday, let alone any gifts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Uncle Yuan snorted, slapped his hand on the table, and said loudly, "You mean that you didn't prepare a gift for the Bai family girl?" That's your fault! ”
No one expected that this Uncle Yuan, who usually didn't talk much, would suddenly get so angry, it turned out that he was also very concerned about Bai Ling'er.
I nodded awkwardly, and I recognized it.
The fat man began to complain that I was not careful in my work, although my mouth was still stuffed with food, Yuan Zhi sighed and groped around my body.
As soon as I looked up, he reached out and handed over a golden talisman, "Take it, this is a talisman that I have successfully drawn in three months, I can barely cope with it." ”
The fat man squirted out the bamboo shoots in his mouth with a 'poof', and shouted in surprise, "Xiao Zhi, you are a bloody talisman, the forbidden talisman that can pass through all formations and enchantments and send the master to a safe location, this has made you draw?" ”
Yuan Zhi's face turned red, and he forced the talisman into my hand, and turned around and said, "This one of mine can't reach the level you said, and at most it can only pass through the formation and enchantment of about three levels." ”
The fat man still had a surprised expression, "About level three?" That's pretty impressive, which means that except for the enchantment laid out by someone of Master's level, everyone else can pass through, right? ”
"Have you thought it through? Even in the Tianqing Pavilion, which is famous for its talisman technique, no one can draw it, and if this is given away, it will be exposed. ”
Yuan Zhi tilted his head, raised his hand and gently tapped on the table, "Sometimes it's not a good thing to show your strength appropriately." ”
Don't look at his calm and breezy appearance, in fact, it's just lip service, Yuan Zhi is a very low-key person, and the reason for doing this is probably for me.
I was a little moved in my heart, and I just wanted to return the thing but was glared at by him, and the meaning was obvious, that is, I would never take the talisman back.
At this moment, another thing was placed on the table in front of him, and if he looked closely, it was a flute carved from jade.
The first half of this flute is green, and the second half is dark green, and the workmanship is delicate, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
"The clouds and water are bright, the name of this flute was obtained when I was young when I was exploring a treasure in Yanshan, it is priceless, so let's return the charm to Xiao Zhi."
Uncle Yuan took out a dry tobacco pouch, knocked it on the table, lit it, and turned his back.
His meaning is also quite obvious, that is, he is not going to go back.
I looked at the talisman in my hand, then at the flute on the table, and finally turned my gaze to the fat man, hoping that he would help me say a few words and return the things.
Who knew that he didn't understand what I meant at all, but hurriedly lowered his head, and stirred a few times in the empty bowl with chopsticks, "Little junior brother, you already have two, don't look at me anymore, your brother Yong has strength and energy and everything, but there are really no treasures to take." ”
Yuan Zhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "That's not necessarily, some time ago, Brother Yong got a good Yuan-quality outer armor, for the sake of the face of our Yuanqing Palace, it should be taken out to show off, maybe among the three gifts, Senior Sister Bai likes this one." ”
The fat man knew that he was ridiculing himself, but he still buried his head and didn't speak, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
The joke was enough, I hurriedly stood up, ready to return both things, face is worth a few dollars, why sacrifice everyone's interests for this little thing.
As a result, as soon as he stood up, he was directly pressed down by Uncle Yuan's hand, "We all know what you want to say, but in the sect, sometimes face is really more important than those things outside the body." ”
"Yuan Qing has something to do and go down the mountain, if he is here, I believe he will give you more precious things to send, this Xiaozhi should know best."
Yuan Zhi nodded, "Uncle Yuan is right, Master's temperament is the strongest, if he loses to the Heavenly Master Hall in this, I'm afraid he will scold us to death when he comes back, okay, I won't mention this matter, won't the show begin?" ”
Not far from us is a clearing, above is the chairman, Zhang Tianshi's family of four is sitting in the middle, on both sides are sitting some high-ranking elders in the sect, Tianqing, Shangqing are in the middle of the table.
At this time, many disciples had already stepped forward to congratulate and send congratulatory gifts in person.
Don't look at this name just to congratulate on the surface, but in fact it is also exquisite, ordinary disciples are not qualified to step forward at all, and those who can go forward are people with promising talents, good kung fu and excellent backgrounds.
Huang Yongxing was even more crowded in front of everyone, and was the first to present the congratulatory gift, although from my point of view, I couldn't see what kind of treasure it was, but judging from the smile on Madame Bai's face, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
After that, he deliberately leaned forward and bowed to Bai Ling'er, but in the end he only got a pair of white eyes.
The kid was not angry, and bowed to the Celestial Master and Madame again before retreating out of the crowd.
The fat man fed a ball of rice balls wrapped with lettuce into his mouth, and said vaguely, "This kid is not stupid, he knows how to advance and retreat, I thought he was going to propose in public." ”
I covered my mouth and laughed, and was just about to share the events on the mountain path with everyone, when I saw the senior brother squeeze over from the crowd and shout at me.
"Little junior brother, why are you still stunned, you should also go to the queue, don't let people see the jokes of our Yuanqing Palace."
Yuan Zhi's eyes rolled upward, and he said in a voice that only I could hear, "Look, Master has already explained to Senior Brother, you are a political task, give me and Uncle Yuan's things together, you have to earn some face and come back." ”
Before I could answer, I was pulled into the crowd by the elder brother who had approached.
At this time, the position in the middle of the venue was already quite crowded, and there were at least dozens of disciples who had prepared gifts.
The elder brother didn't care so much, he pulled me and squeezed forward, and everyone who stood in front of me was pushed aside by a current, and after two minutes, they stood still in front of the crowd.
At this time, it happened to be Zhang Xingtian's turn to stand in front of the rostrum, he bent forward slightly, saluted the sect leaders and elders above, and then picked up a small black box with both hands and handed it over.
"Zhang Xingtian wishes Senior Sister Bai a happy birthday, and he specially prepares this gift, Liao expresses his heart."
Bai Ling'er still sat in her position, leisurely picked up a piece of rice cake and stuffed it into her mouth, as if she hadn't heard it.
Mrs. Bai glanced at her, but Bai Ling'er still didn't react at all, and finally had to stand up and take it by herself, and said with a smile, "Xingtian, you're polite, Ling'er's temper is like this, don't take it to heart." ”
Zhang Xingtian didn't even dare to say it, and turned sideways to step aside, but at this moment, Madame Bai's face suddenly changed, and she raised her hand and opened the lid of the box.
