Chapter 64: The White River Ancestral Hall
"Isn't it married, so the giant spirit beast doesn't want it?"
Zhenxue nodded silently!
"That's easy, let's get married!" Lingwa blurted out without thinking!
When Zhen Xue heard this, she looked up at him suddenly, her face was surprised, and she thought to herself, you only know each other for two minutes, and you want to get married?
Seeing her inexplicable appearance, Lingwa hurriedly explained,
"Oh, it's fake! It's a lie! When this critical time is over, you are you, and I am me, who cares whom? Why do you take it so seriously?"
Zhenxue buried her head again, wiped her tears, and without squeaking, he said again,
"When I go back, I'll say, we've been baby relatives since childhood! I'm a distant relative, and I've been collecting firewood in the mountains for a long time, so it's hard to see, just ask your parents to find a matchmaker to testify -- they will always be deceived!"
Lingwa looked indifferent, and thought, there is a person I like in my hometown, I don't dare to say this? I'll help you now, and you still doubt me?
"Oh, yes, I, I'm - there's still money here! Haha! Guess how much?"
As soon as Zhenxue heard about money, she thought that you are a guy in rags and pants, you look like a poor ghost, how much money can you have? Besides, money can't save me, they just want me to die!
Glancing at him sadly, without squeaking,
At this time, I saw Lingwa put her hand into her underwear, touched it slowly, and then slowly stretched out her hand and said,
"Look, what is this?"
I saw two small golden chains, shining in the firelight,
"This is gold! Haha, you can buy a lot of things! It's no problem to change four or five cows!"
Zhenxue's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise,
"Ah, this, such a precious thing, where did you, you, come from?"
"You don't care about this, don't steal it anyway, don't rob it! Don't worry, with it, you can be saved!"
Lingwa proudly carried the gold chain and dangled in front of her,
"We're married again, and we're rich!haha, I'm not afraid that no one will speak for you—see what else they have to say?"
Zhen Xue was a little overwhelmed for a while, just her mind was full of dark clouds, and she was heartbroken, and suddenly she seemed to see a little light?
She glanced at Lingwa with grateful eyes, and suddenly whispered,
"Why are you helping me? We don't know each other!"
"Who said we didn't know each other? Whether you are real snow or fake snow -- we're about to get married--haha! You're welcome! You saved me too, can I see death or not? We call it sharing weal and belonging! Haha!"
Lingwa still showed his natural smile, as if there was nothing to worry about? Any difficulty can be solved, just like Pepsi!
Seeing that Zhenxue was still a little sullen, in order to ease the atmosphere, Lingwa returned to the old topic and asked,
"Do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry that I haven't eaten for a day! I don't know where the food I was hiding in my arms before has gone?"
Zhenxue sighed in embarrassment and said,
"Not really, I'll tell you the truth, I haven't eaten in a few days!"
"You haven't eaten for a few days, how can you still have the strength to sit here?"
"Drink some mountain spring water, eat some wild fruits and wild vegetables, and drag a day is a day-"
"Well, in a little later at dawn, see that I will hunt you two hares, and the pheasants will come! I can't find them, and I will also hunt a few birds for you, and barbecue them to fill your stomach—haha, I'll eat them all!
――
The two of them continued to chat peacefully around the fire, and the fire was lit up under the care of the two, and the wisps of black smoke flew out of the forest and into the night sky!
The night, still so dark, the woods, still so quiet-
――
At dawn, the tall and towering Snow Lotus Mountain is like a tower of heaven, firmly located in the center of the basin, occupying most of the position south of the White River, and like a sharp sword straight into the sky! The rising sun shines on the top of the snow-covered mountain, reflecting the golden and brilliant golden light, the golden light through the misty clouds, like colorful silk sprinkled on the world, red, orange, yellow and green, the momentum is magnificent, wonderful!
A giant red-headed parrot of ostrich-like size, spreading its green wings more than a foot long, swooped down from the top of the snow-capped mountain, it slowly flew over the sea of clouds of the snow-capped mountains, drilled out of the clouds, surrounded the mountainside, hovering between the colorful sunshine, a pair of big black eyes alertly searched downward, and a big red mouth hung in front of the head like a big iron hook, suggesting its majesty and power!
The water of the White River is still flowing loudly, stretching wide, crystal clear, the villages on both sides have long woken up, shouting, livestock, chickens and dogs barking pass each other, cattle and sheep go up the mountain, ducks and geese go down the river, on the street, roadside, in the field, the ground, one after another is full of people, under the morning light, in the breeze, a peaceful pastoral scenery!
The red-headed parrot circled the mountainside a few times, then slowly lowered its altitude and flew towards a protruding mansion at the foot of the mountain south of the White River.
This is a two-entry quadrangle compound, divided into the front yard and the back yard, the house is tall, spacious, mixed structure of stone, wood, brick and tile, dozens of rooms, carved panes, pitch black gate, blue brick paving, in the middle of the front yard lobby enshrined a huge painting, painting a snow-white multi-legged monster, is shrinking the cerebellum, waving six thick iron tongs, dragging the fat and swollen body, peeking at the crowd, a sacred, wild, irresistible atmosphere envelops the lobby -
Underneath are piled up melon and fruit offerings, incense is continuous, and smoke is curling.
On both sides of the room were stacked some sacrificial tools, large cauldrons, large wooden sedan chairs, large sacrificial boards, and the like, as well as knives, swords, sticks, and sticks.
The middle lobby of the backyard enshrines some ancestral spiritual seats, and under the pressure of the front lobby, the atmosphere in the back hall is obviously much more depressed and much lower.
The following is also melon and fruit offerings, incense is continuous, and there are gossip wall charts of the mages in the next room, utensils used for doing things, hands, Buddha dust, throwers, vestments, etc., as well as the meeting halls of the bigwigs.
The front and rear compounds are very large, hundreds of square meters, which can accommodate hundreds of people gathering. In the middle of the front yard of the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info there is a stone platform more than ten meters high, which is also dark, and fresh melons and fruits are placed on it.
The stone courtyard gate of the lofty style, more than ten meters high, the elephant archway built is facing the north of the White River, and the dark door plate is written with four vigorous big characters "Baihe Ancestral Hall" in white ash!
This is the management center of the Bai and Hei clans in Baihezhou! Compared with the nearby farmhouse humble house, it is simply magnificent and brilliant, sacred and cannot be offended!
In the backyard, a half-old man in a blue robe and a round hat, about fifty or sixty years old, was talking secretly across the table with another middle-aged man in a black robe and an octagonal hat, who was also in his fifties, like a Taoist!
This half-old man, one meter seven or eight, tall, with a long round head and a slippery head, a head full of gray hair half tied behind his head, a face of horizontal meat, big eyes, a big nose, a wide mouth, a white beard, rough and black skin, and a palm-sized silver ring hanging from his ears, his face is fierce, giving people a sense of intent and intent, and a feeling of no kindness!
The Taoist priest was not tall, thin and thin, with gray hair draped behind his head, a long face with a pointed forehead, prominent cheekbones, a wisp of white beard more than a foot long, clean and tidy all over his body, spotless, and a black robe with a circular gossip pattern was hanging on the wall next to him.
He sat on a wooden chair against the wall, holding a long string of black beads in his hand, turned his head to the half-old man next to him, and said,
"Patriarch Bai doesn't have to worry, when the time comes, if the old man of the Hei clan can't hand over people, he will take his whole family formation! Heaven has heavenly principles, the clan has clan rules, and the rules left by the ancestors, how can it be broken when it comes to him? They have been like this for hundreds of years, and they also know it. Moreover, if you offend the gods, it will be a disaster for our nation - but not you, I can bear it!"
The Bai patriarch held the wooden chair with one hand, put his fist on the table with the other, and said fiercely,
"Not only do you want to kill his whole family, but you also have to his family's ancestral grave! Old things, everyone else gives them away, but you don't give them away? People are not daughters? If you go against me, I will have a good end for you?"
After speaking, he tapped the table with his fist, looked at the Taoist priest and said,
"There's still a month to go, what are the mages going to do, and how much more do you need?"
"It's simple on my side, only 3,000 catties of yellow paper and 3,000 catties of silver paper, and it's just more than 100 taels of silver! The key is that your character is in place? The most important one of the year, all the past years have gone well, but this year is really an evil sect? I have been looking at all directions for a long time, and I feel that the northeast is not right, but unexpectedly, something big has happened! If I don't correct it in time, I am afraid that I will cause trouble, and it will be immeasurable?"
The mages frowned and shook their heads again and again!
"Don't worry, this mage, I will limit the old man to three days to hand over people, and if he can't hand it over, I will blame his whole family! Let him sacrifice the blood of his whole family to Baihe, and he will never tolerate it--and then hand it over to the next family! The next old Qin has three daughters, and there is no shortage of girls!"
After speaking, Patriarch Bai pulled down his two cuffs, looking menacing,
"It's best to keep a close eye on the movements of the old Zhentou family now, to prevent them from escaping again, and not to leave people day and night - no more mistakes!"
"I've already sent someone to move around his house!
――
While the two were talking, suddenly a black-clothed guard outside ran in in a panic and knelt down on one knee to report,
"Report to Grandpa, the Condor has arrived!"
"Ah, Condor?!"
As soon as the two of them heard this, they immediately stood up from their chairs at the same time, and their heads buzzed at the same time, and the Bai patriarch looked nervous, pointed to the soldiers on the ground and said loudly,
"Tell them to come out and pick them up in the front yard!"
So the soldiers hurriedly ran away, ran to the front yard and picked off a black gong under the wall, knock, only to hear the front and back yards suddenly noisy, one by one black-clothed soldiers came out of all corners, the sound of opening the door, footsteps, shouts resounded.
Soon gathered in the front yard, lined up, knelt on the ground one after another, looking up at the southwest sky, the Bai patriarch and the mages, dressed neatly and kneeling at the front-
At this time, I saw a green shadow quickly drilled out of the clouds in the southwest, like a green cloud floating to this side, and soon got closer, and saw the green red-headed parrot, with thick wings like two banana leaves, with an elegant posture, flying smoothly over the yard, and finally stretched out two thick claws like iron casting, and landed steadily on the stone platform in the courtyard!
The people below immediately kowtowed, kept worshipping, and shouted in unison,
"Welcome the parrot, welcome the parrot!
The giant parrot didn't appreciate it, and didn't look at the more than 100 people below, just buried its head in selecting the fruits in the basket, a basket full of melons and fruits, and it kept falling down, spilling on the ground, and kept screaming.
"It's not delicious, it's not delicious, it's not delicious!"
After turning over the basket of fruits, he kicked the basket down with the last kick, stared at the people below, and screamed,
"Eat meat, eat meat, eat meat!
Patriarch Bai knelt in front of him, turned back to the two soldiers next to him and said,
"Go to the kitchen and bring one of the lambs you have prepared!"
So the two soldiers immediately got up and went to do it!
Then the parrot screamed again,
"Quick, quick, quick! The master said, there will be more things this year! Be punctual, fresh—or die, die, die!"
The mages raised their heads and replied in a loud voice,
"Rest assured, assured that the gods are punctual, fresh, assured, assured!"
Then raise your hands and kowtow, and everyone will kowtow too!
Soon two soldiers came out of the backyard carrying a large wooden basin, in which was a steamed lamb, which was steaming and weighed about twenty pounds, and came to the bottom of the stone platform, where a soldier held a ladder and a soldier put it on his head and sent it to the parrot's mouth.
The parrot stretched out its red beak and sniffed, it felt okay, then opened its red beak, bit the leg of mutton, held it in its mouth, stretched out its huge wings and slapped it down, and rose into the air.
Everyone only felt a gust of wind blowing in their faces, and when the dust cleared, when they looked up, the parrot had already flown into the clouds, and slowly disappeared into the clouds.
Everyone had long been accustomed to this kind of noble guest from heaven, and there was no complaint or disgust on their faces, and there was no surprise in the slightest.
After sending the parrot away, everyone dispersed, and the two bigwigs returned to the backyard room to continue their discussions.
