Chapter Fifty-Six: The Master
After the incident where Qu Fan was followed, Bai Qingqing has been on high alert. After investigating this matter for several days, Bai Qingqing was always uneasy in his heart if he didn't figure it out.
However, the result was the same as last time, nothing was found, and all the intelligence agents sent out were like sinking into the sea, and they couldn't even see a trace of waves.
At this time, she thought of a person, her sister-in-law.
The young grandmother of the Bai family is named Qiu Wenhuan, and there is a special story about her marrying into the Bai family and becoming the wife of the prince.
The last head of the Bai family, that is, Bai Qingqing's father, Bai Yuan. Her father died when Bai Qingqing was very young, and at that time, her eldest brother Bai Xianhong was too young to be the head of the Bai family. The position of the head of the Bai family was temporarily kept by her mother, Mrs. Bai Xie Shuangling.
The Bai family is in the hands of her mother, and her wealth and status have risen to a higher level, not only the main business has become more prosperous, but also many new industries have been opened, so that the other elders of the Bai family dare not make mistakes.
When Bai Qingqing's eldest brother grew up, her mother passed on the identity of the head of the Bai family and the crown prince to Bai Xianhong.
But after her eldest brother took over the seal of power of the Bai family from Mrs. Bai, he made several wrong decisions one after another, which almost ruined the position of the Bai family's leader.
Later, Bai Qingqing's mother, Mrs. Bai, reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and after several twists and turns, she finally turned the tide and calmed down the turmoil of the Bai family. Since then, the Bai family is ostensibly Bai Xianhong, but in fact, Mrs. Bai is the real boss behind the scenes.
It is also strange to say that nine and a half out of ten of the decisions made by her eldest brother were wrong, which made Mrs. Bai very worried, so she gradually began to cultivate Bai Qingqing, hoping that she could help Bai Xianhong lead the Bai family in the future.
Soon after, a master of the Bai family came, claiming to be the head of the Changchun faction, Hill Yue. This person has some fame, and he does have some real skills.
He found Madame Bai and told her that he had a way to help the crown prince Bai Xianhong change his luck so that her eldest brother would have the ability to protect the Bai family.
Madame Bai didn't believe it at first, but later, Qiu Lingyue and her chatted in the study for two hours, not knowing what they were talking about, but the final result was that Madame Bai believed Qiu Lingyue and asked Bai Xianhong to marry his daughter, Qiu Wenhuan.
Bai Xianhong originally did not agree to this marriage, but after all, he couldn't help Mrs. Bai. After Bai Xianhong saw Qiu Wenhuan, he felt that she was not bad, well-known and reasonable, and her appearance was also outstanding, and in the end, he reluctantly agreed.
After this marriage, Bai Xianhong's luck really improved greatly, although there was no big credit, and occasionally he would make some small mistakes. However, it was already not easy for him.
A year after the two got married, they had Bai Lexue, and after that, no matter how hard they tried, they were never able to conceive again. Mrs. Bai did not complain, but loved her daughter-in-law very much. Bai Qingqing guessed that her mother should know that Bai Xianhong had no children in his life.
Although Qiu Lingyue is highly capable, he resolutely does not let Qiu Wenhuan touch these things that leak heavenly secrets, so her sister-in-law will not be congenitally deduced and gossip.
But her dad could.
Bai Qingqing and Qiu Wenhuan made an appointment and came to Bai's house the next day.
"Sister-in-law. Bai Qingqing greeted her.
Qiu Wenhuan nodded with a smile and said to her, "Qingqing, let's go to the study to talk, your eldest brother has already gone out." ”
Bai Qingqing didn't want her eldest brother to know about this, because of this, she felt that it had something to do with Qu Fan, if Bai Xianhong knew, not only would she not lend a hand, but it would make things worse for you and cause more trouble. "Okay, let's go in and talk. Bai Qingqing replied to her sister-in-law.
When she came to the study, Bai Qingqing said directly, "Sister-in-law, Xiaofan and I are in some trouble, and I want to visit Mr. Qiu." ”
"What's going on, is it serious?" Qiu Wenhuan said with concern.
Bai Qingqing shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've been checking for a long time, but I still haven't had any clues, even myself, I don't have a clue." ”
"Even the Bai family can't find out, what kind of person would it be. Qiu Wenhuan said with a sigh, and then, comforting Bai Qingqing, "Qingqing, since I married into the Bai family, I have never had contact with my father, he is not allowed, only left me an address, I can't go to him as a last resort, if I look for him from time to time, the land is unfavorable, people are not in harmony, and people have no relationship with him, he will not meet, I will give you that address now, and the rest will depend on yourself, I can only help here." ”
Bai Qingqing thanked and said, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." ”
After Qiu Wenhuan gave the address to Bai Qingqing, she left the Bai family without staying long.
When Bai Qingqing returned to the company, she opened the piece of paper and looked at the address, Laojun Mountain, Thirty-three Cave Heaven.
Laojun Mountain Bai Qingqing knows, but there are countless caves on that mountain, if you want to find the hills, it is not easy to talk about it, and you really have to be fated to meet.
After Bai Qingqing arranged the things for the next few days, he took Qu Fan with him and went to Laojun Mountain.
The mountain is full of Taoist temples, and there are many people who come here to ask for incense.
The two of them came to a large Taoist temple and asked a Taoist priest inside how to get to the thirty-three caves.
The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at the two of them, shook his head, and said, "The cave on this Laojun Mountain is not five hundred, but also four hundred and nine, each person occupies a cave and claims to be a living immortal, what a few caves, where can it be compared with our serious Taoist temple, if the two of you have something to ask, it is better to find our Guanzhu, Sankun Shangxian." ”
Bai Qingqing didn't listen to him and continued to talk nonsense, turned around and left here with Qu Fan.
Qu Fan asked his sister, "Sister, but what can't be solved by ordinary means?"
Bai Qingqing nodded and didn't say much.
"It has something to do with me, right?" Qu Fan had already guessed something, and said, "The people who followed me this time are the same as the people who captured me last time, and I haven't found out who they are so far, right?"
Bai Qingqing stopped, looked at her younger brother, and said, "Xiao Fan, my sister will handle this matter." ”
"No," Qu Fan held Bai Qingqing's hand, "Since it has something to do with me, it should be solved by myself." ”
Bai Qingqing didn't speak again, looked at Qu Fan's eyes, was silent for a while, and then said, "Let's go, let's continue to search." ”
"Sister, what we're looking for is Thirty-Three Cave Heavens, right?" Qu Fan asked her.
Bai Qingqing replied to Qu Fan, "That's right, Thirty-three Cave Heaven, I only know the specific location and what it looks like on this Laojun Mountain, I don't know anything, whether I can find it or not depends on fate." ”
"Let's go, since it's a hidden place, let's go to a place with few people to look for it. Qu Fan said, leading the way in front and walking towards the sparsely populated back mountain.
The two of them walked for several hours, both a little tired, and came to a small roadside shop to eat mountain-style sausages and noodles.
The owner of this small shop was a white-haired old gentleman, who looked to be eighty years old, with a ruddy complexion and a full of energy.
Qu Fan asked him, "Old man, you haven't lived in this mountain for a short time, haven't you?"
"Yes, I've been here since my wife died, and it's been forty years. The old gentleman replied to Qu Fan with a smile.
"The old gentleman must be familiar with the situation in the mountains. Qu Fan felt that this old gentleman might know a lot of things, and wanted to ask him some questions.
The old gentleman shook his head and said, "Although I have lived in this mountain for a short time, I know very little about the situation here, I don't know if I can help you. ”
Qu Fan looked at the old gentleman's kind face, and said, "We want to find the Thirty-Three Cave Heavens, I don't know if you have ever heard of it?"
The old gentleman thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I have some impressions, is there a master surnamed Qiu who lives in that cave?"
When Bai Qingqing heard the old man's words, he also came over and said, "That's right, it's a master surnamed Qiu, do you know him, old man?"
He shook his head, "Every year, many people come here to look for him, but everyone returns in vain. ”
"Hasn't anyone ever seen Senior Qiu?" Qu Fan said.
"It doesn't seem to be. The old gentleman added, "But you can look over there, for the terrain is steeper and no one has ever been there." As he spoke, he pointed to a place.
Bai Qingqing and Qu Fan looked in the direction he pointed, it was a cliff, and there was a jungle on the cliff. For ordinary people, it is indeed a dangerous place, but for the two of them, it is just a piece of cake.
After thanking the old gentleman, the two men walked towards it and came to the bottom of the cliff.
"Sister, let's start. Qu Fan said to Bai Qingqing.
After Bai Qingqing nodded, the two of them began to climb up.
The cliff is not high, only fifty meters in appearance, which is simply not worth mentioning compared to the height they usually train. Five minutes later, the two of them came to the jungle at the top of the cliff.
Bai Qingqing handed Qu Fan a mask, the miasma in this forest is a little thick, and after smelling it for a long time, people will feel paralyzed and dizzy.
After the two men put on their masks, they walked inside. This forest doesn't look big from the shop, but I didn't expect to climb up and find that this forest is not small.
Along the way, except for trees and trees, it was about to get dark, Bai Qingqing had some thoughts of giving up, and planned to hurry back to the cliff while the sky was still bright, and find a hotel to live in first.
Qu Fan said to his sister, "I have flint and tents, don't worry. ”
Bai Qingqing smiled when she heard that Qu Fan was still carrying these things, and said, "Yes, more prescient than your sister." ”
The two of them continued to walk deep into the jungle, and suddenly, Qu Fan saw a very interesting place, he pointed it out to Bai Qingqing and looked at it, and said to her, "Sister, where do you look, the one in the middle looks like a few stars, and the arrangement of the stars is like a cross array, and there are three big trees on the left and right sides decorated with it, so combined, isn't it thirty-three?"
