Chapter 7: It's dark under the lights
Bai Chong'an, the head of the Bai family, is now the only remaining Jindan monk in the family. When he was a teenager, he also practiced in Danxia Palace, and then he grew older, and he never touched the threshold of the Yuan Baby, so he simply went home to recuperate.
He usually lives in the withered leaves of the small building in the back mountain, and when he is idle, he does not see anyone, and the chores of the clan should be handed over to the juniors to take care of, and only extremely important matters can invite him to come forward.
Bai Mengjin grew up to this age, and he only saw this uncle once when his parents died. She remembered that she was kneeling in front of the spirit, and this uncle with fluttering sleeves and an immortal style came in, looked at her indifferently, and turned his head to talk to his uncle.
"Dinghan does business for the family, and you have to handle his posthumous affairs. Find a mother-in-law to take care of his daughter. ”
Uncle respectfully should be.
When Bai Mengjin heard these words, he kowtowed to this uncle. Later, she was bullied and wanted to find her uncle to administer justice, but she couldn't even enter the door of the withered leaves.
Thinking of this, she hooked the corners of her mouth.
In short, this uncle is difficult to judge.
"Immortal Master Huo, please, Fairy Yue, Second Miss, please."
An old servant greeted him respectfully at the door.
Bai Mengjin stepped into this withered leaf building for the first time and looked at it curiously.
Entering the door is the shadow wall, and there are mountain stones stacked on the left and right sides, revealing elegance in the simplicity. There was a large tree in the atrium, dry from the trunk to the leaves, but there was a condensation in it. Under the tree hangs an open umbrella, made of something I don't know, black as ink on the top and white as snow below.
Seeing this umbrella, Bai Mengjin's gaze froze.
Isn't this a relic of my mother's parasol? She knew that this thing was taken away by her uncle, but she didn't know that such a big horn was put to watch.
- No, it's not for viewing. If she sees it well, this tree is called Huangquan Wood, which can condense dead energy. Huangquan opened the yin and yang umbrella under the wood, I am afraid that it will attract all the yin spirits.
What is this uncle doing? Orthodox disciples of Danxia Palace, they can't practice the art of soul control, right?
"Second Miss?" The old servant came to her at some point, and called out with a smile.
Bai Mengjin smiled back, followed behind Yue Yunqiao, and went into the house.
I haven't seen him for many years, but this uncle is still so big with fluttering sleeves and an immortal demeanor. He leaned against the window and smiled at the young man who came in.
Huo Chongxiao took his junior sister and saluted solemnly: "Qianxiu Peak Huo Chongxiao, I have seen Senior Brother Bai." ”
His master, Changling Zhenren, has a very high rank in the sect, so it is enough to call him a senior brother.
Bai Chongan stretched out his hand, and he was kind: "They are all the same door, don't be polite, sit down." ”
Huo Chongxiao thanked him and sat down at the bottom.
It stands to reason that Bai Mengjin should stand as a junior, but she was too lazy to serve this uncle, pretending not to understand anything, and sat with Yue Yunqiao.
Fortunately, this uncle was dustless under his eyes, and he didn't bother to care about such a trivial matter, so he didn't say anything.
Bai Chongan took a sip of tea and asked, "Is Uncle Changling okay?" I have been away from the division for decades, and I live in a simple place on weekdays, and there is little news of the division. ”
Huo Chongxiao replied: "Senior Brother Xie cares, my master is very good, he turned into a god ten years ago, and now he is stabilizing the realm." ”
"It's a god...... Bai Chongan was a little distracted, and quickly smiled again, "Congratulations to Senior Uncle Changling, with Uncle Changling's talent, it must be more than that." ”
Huo Chongxiao saw his loss, and responded with a few words, and he could understand his mood very well. Isn't the saddest thing about a monk that he has made no progress in his cultivation?
The two talked about Danxia Palace for a while, and Huo Chongxiao couldn't help but mention: "Senior Brother Bai, there are monsters in Qingyun City, what do you think?" ”
Bai Chongan waved his hand, and he was calm and clear: "There is a mage in the official mansion, and since you find out, they will deal with it." ”
"But ......"
"I will tell them to pay more attention, after all, it is the residence of our Bai family, and if something happens, it will also affect our own children and nephews." Then he approved, "I have heard all that you have done tonight." Senior Brother Huo and Senior Sister Yue are worthy of being the disciples of Senior Uncle Changling, and they handled it very well. ”
Yue Yunqiao was still thinking about saying good things to Bai Mengjin, and when she heard this, she continued: "Senior Brother Bai, this matter is thanks to ...... Senior Sister Mengjin, if she hadn't been vigilant, we might not have been able to find the source of the demonic energy, and she saved me. ”
"Really?" Bai Chongan finally set his eyes on this junior, and praised with a smile, "You did a great job." Qingru, turned around and took a talisman pen and sent it to the second lady. ”
The old servant replied respectfully.
Yue Yunqiao put down the big stone in her heart and smiled at Bai Mengjin. Now that the head of the family has been rewarded, that fierce aunt can't embarrass her anymore, right?
Bai Meng smiled back today, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Yue Yunqiao didn't hear it, she knew it too well, this tone was full of perfunctory, and this uncle didn't pay attention to it at all.
But it doesn't matter, she's not the one she was when she was a teenager, do you still care about this?
After talking for a while, Bai Chongan said: "Senior brother and sister are destined to come to Qingyun City, and I, as a senior brother, must do my best to be a landlord." You've worked hard to get rid of demons tonight, and how about staying at home for a few days, resting, and then returning to the sect? ”
Huo Chongxiao replied gratefully: "Thank you, senior brother, then bother." ”
Bai Chongan smiled slightly, motioned to Guan Mowen to make arrangements, and sent the guests off with tea.
Before going out, Bai Mengjin casually touched the shadow wall and praised: "Uncle is really good at picking things, this painting is really beautiful." ”
Yue Yunqiao said: "I like to go back and get one myself." ”
The two talked and laughed, and followed Huo Chongxiao out of the withered leaves.
Back in the compound, Bai Mengjin asked, "Mr. Guan, which courtyard are the guests arranged?" Can you get closer to me, so that I can also be a guide for Senior Sister Yue. ”
Guan Mowen replied: "Immortal Master Huo and Fairy Yue live in Qinghe Courtyard. Second Miss, don't worry, I will arrange someone to serve, and I won't let people slack off. ”
"That's a bit far!" Bai Mengjin was disappointed.
Guan Mowen smiled: "Dong Weng confesses, you must be entertained, Qinghe Courtyard is the best guest house in the family." ”
Yue Yunqiao hurriedly said: "It's okay, no matter how far away it is, it's only a few more steps." Senior Sister Bai, we are waiting for you. ”
Bai Mengjin nodded, took out the string of copper coins given by Huo Chongxiao and returned it: "Huo Gongzi, thank you for taking care of you tonight, and the things will be returned to the original owner." ”
Huo Chongxiao accepted: "This matter has nothing to do with you, we should thank you." ”
The three of them said a few more words and reluctantly said goodbye. Yue Yunqiao also agreed with her to wait for her to come over tomorrow morning and go out to play together.
Bai Mengjin watched their figures gradually fade away, and the smile on his face faded away.
She lowered her gaze, and the demonic qi collected from the monster flashed in the palm of her hand, and she actually sensed it with the withered leaf Xiaozhu.
Huangquan wood, parasols...... The source of these demonic qi is actually in your own home?
That's a completely unthought answer.
