Chapter 12: Night Talk

"Uncle, the last time I received your letter was six days ago, is there anything else going on at home in the past few days besides grandpa?" Walking on the bluestone path, Bai Qingming suddenly asked Bai Gui.

"I was about to talk to you, young master, about this. During this time, two monks came to the door in succession. One is a man from the Xuanmen, surnamed Wu, who calls himself Wu Tianshi, who claimed to have heard rumors of our house being haunted in the city, so he came to the door to get rid of the demons. ”

"Exorcism? Hehe, I'm afraid it's not a charlatan who wants to eat and cheat money. Although my Bai family is not really wealthy now, it is not a foolish country fool who is easy to fool. ”

"Uh...... What the young master said is reasonable, but this person does have some means, and I can't drive him away, so I'll leave him behind for the time being. ”

"What!" Bai Qingming turned to look at Bai Gui, with some anger on his face, "This kind of person will be a little trick at most, I've seen a lot outside." It's okay for their so-called methods to fool ordinary people, why are you also blinded by this kind of petty uncle this time? ”

"Young master, listen to me, the old servant is also a person who has been crawling and rolling for most of his life, and I am confident that I will not be bluffed by a young man. But that Wu Tianshi did have some strange methods, I don't know why, when he cast the spell, he couldn't see the slightest fluctuation of true qi on his body. I think it's either because this person has some unique magic weapon, or because this person's strength is unfathomable, and I prefer the former, but anyway, I'm still a little worried that if we rush to get rid of it, it may cause us trouble. ”

Seeing that his young master was silent, Bai Gui continued: "Another cultivator, the real origin is probably greater than that Wu Tianshi. That one is a real Dan Master! ”

"Danshi?!"

Bai Qingming's face showed a deep look of shock, and he immediately asked, "Uncle Gui, are you sure you are not mistaken?" ”

"That's absolutely right, that cultivator's name is Shi Cheng, and he took the initiative to show the Danhuo in front of me, and I am 100% sure that it is the real Danhuo!"

Bai Qingming's expression seemed to be in a trance, and he muttered, "A person from the Xuanmen, a Dan Master." These two types of people, especially the latter type, are characters that only appear in the prosperous land of Great Wei, why did they all come to the small fish pond of Redwood City? ”

"Young master, that Shi Cheng seems to be very interested in what happened a few days ago in the ancestral grave of his family, and he really wants to talk to you alone."

Bai Qingming's expression was cloudy, and he said coldly: "Sure enough, this person's purpose is not simple. Okay, it just so happens that I also want to get to the bottom of this Danshi. Uncle Gui, you go and inform that Shi Cheng, and I will talk to him alone in my study after dinner. ”

"Yes, young master." Bai Gui bowed and replied.

"By the way, uncle, if you know anything related to these two monks, tell me in detail."

With the sound of the two people talking quieter and smaller, their bodies gradually disappeared into the darkness of the house as the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared into the sky......

Darkness falls, and the lights come on.

The moon rose in the sky, and as time passed, the sound of staggering in the banquet room of the White Mansion gradually stopped. On a bluestone road in Baifu, Bai Tao took four family members carrying lanterns, and the group walked to the wing room where Shi Cheng lived.

Shi Cheng in the wing room was sitting on the bed at this time, staring motionlessly at the large pile of broken desserts in front of him, he frowned, as if he was thinking about something, those desserts were the part he had snatched from Wu Tianshi's package during the day.

A knock on the door came from outside, and it turned out that Bai Tao and the others had already arrived at the door.

Bai Tao respectfully asked outside: "Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, I am the steward Bai Tao, and I have something important to ask to see Mr. ”

Shi Cheng raised his head, waved his big hand, and a stream of true qi enveloped those broken desserts and put them into a storage bag. Then, he gently straightened his clothes, walked to the door, and opened it.

Bai Tao saw Shi Cheng open the door, immediately took two steps back, and saluted respectfully, "Mr. Shi, my young master invites Mr. to the study for a while." ”

Shi Cheng had already guessed Bai Tao's intention, nodded, and said, "Then it's time to worry about Bai Steward leading the way." ”

After walking through the courtyard for a while, they came to a small building with only one floor. Bai Tao took a few steps forward, respectfully faced Xiao Lou and said, "Young Master, Shi Gongzi has already arrived." ”

"Please come in." A faint voice came from the house.

The owner of the house seemed to be very cold, but Shi Cheng did not have any unhappiness on his face, he walked straight to the door, gently pushed open the door, and entered the study.

In the study, a rather handsome young man in white sat at a desk at the east head, looking at a book under the bright oil lamp. On the west side of the room are rows of neatly stacked bookshelves, showing that the owner of the house is probably a studious person.

When Shi Cheng saw the appearance and temperament of the young man, he also nodded secretly in his heart, Bai Qingming, the eldest son of the Bai family, was known as the number one talent in Redwood City, and when he saw it today, most of his words were true. Regardless of the talent of this Great White Prince, as soon as Shi Cheng saw Bai Qingming, he knew that this Great White Prince's martial arts cultivation could be among the best in this Redwood City.

Shi Cheng walked to the center of the study, saluted Bai Qingming, who was sitting at the east head, and said, "In Xia Shicheng, I have seen Bai Gongzi. ”

"Sir, don't be polite, please be seated." Bai Qingming raised his head, his tone was still a little cold. When he saw Shi Cheng's ugly face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure with excellent cultivation. Shi Cheng thanked him and sat down on a bench next to his desk.

After Shi Cheng sat down, Bai Qingming said: "My father-in-law's illness is bothered by Mr. Lao. My husband looks like he's about the same age as me, but he's already condensed into a fire. It's a shame to say that Qingming has always regarded himself very highly, but in front of Mr., he really knows what it is to be a person outside him. ”

"Bai Gongzi is too modest, Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he can become a generation of heroes when he goes to the Eastern Continent in the future, and he can't keep Gongzi in this Southern Wilderness."

"Then Mr. Cheng Ji Yan, I heard that Mr. is from the West Continent. A Dan Master from the Western Continent has traveled thousands of miles to my Redwood City, and I don't know what happened? Bai Qingming stared at Shi Cheng tightly and asked emotionlessly.

Although Shi Cheng was a Dan Master, when Bai Qingming learned from Bai Gui that Shi Cheng was from the Western Continent, Bai Qingming's heart still couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt and hatred for Shi Cheng.

"It seems that Bai Gongzi is still not at ease with Shi." Shi Cheng smiled and continued: "Shi has the certification documents of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce in the Western Continent in his hand, and he also has the special customs clearance documents they helped prescribe. If Bai Gongzi wants to verify, Shi will hand over these things to Gongzi for inspection. As for why I came here, I can't hide it, since Shi left school, he has been traveling all over the world and practicing medicine. In addition, while Shi was practicing medicine in the clouds, he was also looking for traces of an enemy. ”

"Sir's enemy? Could it be related to the thieves who dug up the tombs of my ancestors a few days ago? How did Mr. come up with a gang of grave robbers? ”

"They're not just grave robbers." Shi Chengzheng said, "If Shi's expectation is good, there should be the bodies of the ancestors of the Bai family that have been stolen from the ancestral tomb of your mansion." Ordinary tomb robbers often only come for the belongings buried in the tomb, I wonder if Gongzi has ever heard of a tomb robber who even stole the body in the tomb? ”

"According to Mr. ......." Bai Qingming frowned and said, "This matter is not simple? I don't know who my enemies are, and what does my husband think is the reason why those people stole the bones of my ancestors? ”

"My enemy is not trivial. I can't tell Bai Gongzi everything now, and I ask Bai Gongzi to forgive me. But what I can tell you is that they collect corpses for a peerless evil act. If they succeed, I don't know how many people will lose their lives. Shi Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said seriously.

Bai Qingming's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he looked at Shi Cheng's eyes deadly, as if he wanted to see something. Shi Cheng did not shy away from it, his eyes were full of determination.

Seeing that Bai Qingming didn't speak for a long time, Shi Cheng opened his mouth and continued: "Not long after the accident in the ancestral tomb of your mansion, the old master of the Bai family followed closely and encountered strange things. Doesn't Bai Gongzi want to know if these two things are related? Shi had a reluctant request, hoping that Bai Gongzi could allow him to investigate the matter, including going to the ancestral tomb and ancestral hall to investigate on the spot. I promise not to do anything out of the ordinary.,If the son is not at ease with the next.,You can send someone to investigate with me.。 Four days later, Shi will open the furnace alchemy to save the old master of the Bai family, and he will not take a penny for the gift of thanks! ”

Bai Qingming looked down at the desk and pondered for a long time before he raised his head and said, "After the tomb robbery occurred, I had already entrusted the government to strictly investigate this matter. Mr. Shi doesn't think that he can beat so many headcatchers from the government alone, right? Now that it's getting late, Mr. should go back and rest early. ”

"I heard before I heard that the tomb robbery case in your mansion has been investigated by Gongzi. But according to Shi, Childe doesn't seem to take this matter to heart. I can only tell Childe that you must be cautious about this matter. Shi Cheng said coldly.

"I should have told my husband. I can tell you very clearly that I have always disliked you cunning Westerners. I hope that the elixir that Mr. will refine in four days will not disappoint me. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be so good at talking. After speaking, Bai Qingming looked out the window and shouted: "Bai Tao, send off!" ”
