Chapter 8 Baili Qingyao
The cold of the earth in early spring gradually dissipated, and Chen Xingze, the fourth uncle, who was sowing Lingmai seeds in Lingtian, saw the three people coming on foot.
Immediately threw down the labor tools in his hand and quickly greeted him.
At this time, the three of them were only a few dozen zhang away from Lingtian.
"I don't know where the three Taoist friends came from?" asked the fourth uncle, Chen Xingze, with his fists folded.
The three of them stood very politely, one was middle-aged, one was an old man, and the other was a girl in a green skirt.
The middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with a Chinese face and big earlobes, gave people a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring.
"Is this the Chen family in Zhaobi Mountain?" the middle-aged man asked rhetorically, clenching his fists.
"Exactly, I don't know who the three are?" Chen Xingze continued to inquire about the origin of the three people.
"The contemptible person's name is Baili Yuheng, this is my uncle Baili Tan, this is my niece Baili Qingyao, we are from the sea beast battlefield. The middle-aged man Baili Yuheng explained.
As soon as he heard the words Sea Beast Battlefield, Chen Xingze's pupils shrank, and he immediately thought of his little brother, that is, Chen Chuan's father.
"How many people can know my fifteenth brother Chen Hengze?" Chen Xingze took a few steps forward a little excitedly.
When the three members of the Baili family saw Chen Xingze in such an emotion, their eyes all showed a look of happiness.
"It was Brother Ling who asked me to wait here, please see. Baili Yuheng said, taking out a piece of leather paper from his cuff.
Chen Xingze took the vellum paper, and he saw a few lines of small characters written on the vellum, which was the handwriting of his fifteenth brother.
Seeing words is like seeing people, Chen Xingze's old tears flowed out in an instant.
......
My heart is hard to miss my hometown, and I haven't returned to the vast people for ten years.
Children are especially young, and it is difficult to find them when they return to their hometowns.
......
After reading Chen Hengze's hometown letter, Chen Xingze trembled and put away the leather paper family letter and wiped the wet tears from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing that Chen Xingze's mood was a little more stable, Baili Yuheng said, "I don't know where Chen Qingze's brother is in the Chen family?"
"My second brother went to the depths of the Lotus Mountain Range to hunt spirit beasts, can the three of you follow me on the mountain first?" Chen Xingze pointed to the Zhaobi Mountain Road not far away.
"That's very good. Baili Yuheng nodded.
The old man and the girl did not speak from beginning to end, especially the girl who covered her face with a white veil, her eyes were cold, giving people a sense of coldness.
Chen Xingze took the three of them to the location halfway up Zhaobi Mountain, where there was a cultivation cave and a living attic.
Standing on the platform halfway up the mountainside, the girl in the green skirt frowned slightly and whispered a few words to the old man beside her.
"Brother Xingze, why don't you see the noble clansmen?" asked Baili Yuheng.
"Mortals are in the villages below the mountains, and monks are in retreat. Chen Xingze said with a light smile.
The four of them walked into an attic halfway up the mountain, the layout of the attic is very simple, in front of it is a mahogany screen, on the left side there is a mahogany table, on which is lit meditation sandalwood.
On the right is a three-foot-high training platform with two bamboo futons on it.
Bypassing the screen, there were two rows of mahogany seats, and the four of them entered the room and sat upright on the chairs.
"The three of you will rest here first, and I will call the three of you to wash the dust. Chen Xingze walked out of the attic with a smile.
The three of them came with Chen Hengze's family letter, and the journey from the Sea Beast Battlefield to Zhaobi Mountain was so difficult, so Chen Xingze had to greet the three with the highest hospitality standards of the Chen family.
After coming out of the attic, Chen Xingze immediately asked Chen Feng, who was cultivating, to go to the village to call someone.
Chen Feng is now the one with the highest cultivation in the Chen family except for Chen Qingze, so Chen Feng did not follow into the mountain, after all, the family needs a stronger clansman to sit in charge.
Chen Feng, who couldn't figure out the situation, took all the people in the village who cooked well to the mountain according to the request of the fourth uncle Chen Xingze.
Throughout the day, the kitchen of Zhaobishan was bustling, and all kinds of food were brought into the dining room one by one.
In the evening, more than 20 dishes were already on the table in the dining room, and Chen Xingze even took out a jar of 300-year-old wine.
After the wine and food were prepared, Chen Xingze took Chen Feng to the attic and invited the three members of the Baili family to the dining room.
There were no other members of the Chen family at the dinner table, only Chen Xingze and Chen Feng, filling the wine glasses, Chen Xingze said happily: "Today is the happiest day I have been in the past ten years, thank you three." ”
After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
Chen Feng was not good at words, but seeing that the fourth uncle attached so much importance to the three members of the Baili family, he picked up his wine glass and said, "Chen Feng of the Chen family, welcome the three Taoist friends." ”
Baili Yuheng and the three of them also raised their wine glasses, and everyone drank the wine in their glasses.
Baili Qingyao, a woman in a green skirt, lifted her white veil slightly and took a small sip.
Chen Feng looked at this sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, her cold eyes were shining with stars, her looming cheeks were as white as jade, and her delicate figure under the green skirt made her a little envious.
As if sensing Chen Feng's observation, Baili Qingyao nodded lightly and said, "Sister Chen Feng, I don't know how there are rivers and lakes around Zhaobi Mountain?"
"Yes, there is a clear spring at the bottom of the mountain. Chen Feng responded.
"Can you take me there?" Baili Qingyao put down her wine glass and took a few steps back.
Chen Feng glanced at the fourth uncle, obviously asking the fourth uncle's opinion.
After Chen Xingze nodded, Chen Feng left the dining room with Baili Qingyao.
On the way down the mountain, Chen Feng asked, "I don't know what to call my sister?"
"Baili Qingyao. ”
This is the only conversation between the two along the way, one is not good at words, the other is naturally cold, and when they meet together, there is nothing to say.
Coming to the clear spring, Baili Qingyao closed her eyes and put her hand into the cold spring water, and after a long time, she nodded.
"Sister Chen Feng can go back, I want to cultivate here. ”
Chen Feng looked at the spring water, then at Gu Baili Qingyao, and said with a hint of doubt: "Sister Qingyao is cultivating the water attribute exercise?"
Baili Qingyao's eyes rolled, and without answering Chen Feng's question, she took out a futon from a red storage box, and sat directly cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Chen Feng smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the mountain.
When they came to the halfway point of the mountain again, the fourth uncle Chen Xingze had already sent Baili Yuheng and the others to the attic.
Halfway up the mountainside platform, Chen Feng said to Chen Xingze: "Fourth uncle, what is the history of these three people?"
"According to your fifteenth uncle's family letter, the three of them should have come to join our Chen family. Chen Xingze said with a smile.
"What?'s letter from the fifteenth uncle?" Chen Feng exclaimed in surprise and looked up at the top of Zhaobi Mountain.
"Chen Chuan doesn't know about this yet, everything will be discussed when your second uncle comes back. After Chen Xingze finished speaking, he walked down the mountain.
Chen Feng walked into the dining room with surprise, wrapped up a roast chicken that didn't eat much, and then walked higher up the mountain with the roast chicken.
Chen Chuan, who was in retreat and cultivating in the cave mansion, naturally didn't know that his parents had sent a letter from the distant sea beast battlefield, and he ate the roast chicken sent by Chen Feng every day, working hard to improve his cultivation.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xingze stood beside Lingtian and looked at the Lotus Mountain Range to the west.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" he paced back and forth to himself, waiting for Chen Qingze who had entered the deep mountains.
At this moment, he saw a figure rushing from the Lotus Mountain Range, it was Chen Zhirong's figure.
The aura was injected into his legs, and Chen Xingze rushed to meet him.
"Fourth grandfather, go and save ......" Chen Zhirong, who was panting, was pale, his arm was bleeding, and he fainted before he finished speaking.
