Chapter 165: A Little Disappointed
Bai Cheng went back to her hometown to help Chi Yao make brushes for the past three days, and she has been staying in the small building in the middle of the lake very honestly.
Every day, I got a desk for myself in the room, and I also brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to practice calligraphy.
Luo Fengchen only regarded it as a whim from Chi Yao and didn't care.
While Chi Yao was practicing calligraphy, Bai Cheng felt Modu City, and when he returned home, he told his subordinates to prepare gifts and he was going to go out.
Steward Zhao of Baijiazhuang was really puzzled when he saw that the owner had just come back and was in a hurry, and he wanted to ask one or two, but he was directly sent down by Bai Cheng.
Steward Zhao left, Bai Cheng sat at the desk and unfolded the things that Chi Yao handed him, and when he saw a few sections of yellow and green bamboo, he was not too surprised, because Linjiang is rich in this kind of bamboo.
He wrapped the bamboo, put it aside, and opened the fox tail that Chi Yao had said.
The silver-white hair is crystal clear, the color is smooth, and when held in the hand, this is definitely a top-grade fox tail.
It's just that......
Luo Fengchen paused, as far as he knew, this kind of fox generally only haunts the spiritual mountain with abundant spiritual energy, or it is directly a spiritual fox, living in Qingqiu.
30,000 years ago, with the feathering of the upper body of the fox clan, the Qingqiu fox clan is withering day by day, and now it is not easy to find this pure fox hair, even if it is found, it is not easy to remove the hair on the tail, unless......
Bai Cheng thought back to Chi Yao's appearance, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He quickly wrapped the fox fur, and before he could put it away, Steward Zhao hurriedly ran over from outside.
There are still words in his mouth, "Oh no, owner!"
Bai Cheng pushed the thing to the corner of the desk, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Why are you so flustered!"
This Steward Zhao has followed him for many years, and he is rarely so abrupt.
"The owner of the village is the second son...... "Steward Zhao didn't dare to speak for a long time.
"Say, he's done something again!"
The second son in Steward Zhao's mouth is naturally Bai Cheng's younger brother, as for the name, he is called Bai Cheng, and he who stole his younger brother's name actually taught Bai Yi.
"The second son is injured. ”
"Hurt?" Bai Yi seemed to be listening to a joke, "What did he do that would be beaten, and what about the people who followed him on weekdays, how could he get hurt?"
Steward Zhao stopped talking, his face full of anxiety.
Bai Yi really didn't want to care about his younger brother Bai Cheng's affairs, "I want to listen to the truth." ”
"Yes. "The matter has come to this point, and Steward Zhao didn't dare to hide it for the second son, so he told the truth.
It turned out that his younger brother Bai Cheng had been secretly buying land in the realm of the human race without hiding from his brother in the morning, and he had started a mine.
This is not known to the wife of the lord of the Zhao family of the human race, and she wants to come to Baijiazhuang to comment, but Bai Yi is not there, Bai Cheng is big alone, regardless of the direct drive away the Zhao Wang family.
It's just a matter that the mine suddenly collapsed just now, and dozens of lives were buried, Bai Cheng only suffered some external injuries because of the people around him, but the people from Zhaojiazhuang suddenly came to the door at this time.
Steward Zhao was flustered, so he could only come over to invite Bai Yi, who had just come back.
"Ridiculous! Who gave him the guts!" Bai Yi, who knew the ins and outs of the matter, slapped the table angrily, because his mind was on his brother's affairs, and he didn't know that when the fox fur that was put aside was slapped on the table by him, a corner was accidentally exposed.
"You call Bai Cheng and let him stand for me here honestly! I'll go to the front hall to meet the Zhao family. ”
Bai Yi floated away, and Steward Zhao also shook his head helplessly.
Bai Yi went to the front hall to discuss this matter with the Zhao family, and during their discussion, his younger brother Bai Cheng followed his entourage to Bai Yi's study honestly.
Although he had gauze on his head, he was still dishonest and dangled in his brother's study.
"Let me stand up, and when you come, I'll not be too late to stand. ”
Bai Cheng walked to his brother's desk and sat down, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the small package on the table.
He opened it to see a few broken bamboos, but fortunately he threw them aside, and then looked at the half-open furry thing open.
"What's wrong with my brother, how many pillars and how many hairs? This is what he went to Linjiang to find?" Bai Cheng didn't care about throwing them away.
Lu Tiannan, who was standing beside Bai Cheng and often gave him advice, saw the hairs scattered on the desk, and couldn't help but take a closer look.
Bai Cheng looked at Lu Tiannan's appearance, and only felt funny, "A few broken hairs, you are really a baby, you are just as virtuous as my brother!"
Lu Tiannan didn't care about Bai Cheng's words, and still looked at the silver hair carefully.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just fox fur, do you want me to go to the mountains to fetch you a few, is it necessary to look so carefully?"
Lu Tiannan's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly looked at Bai Cheng.
"Why does the second son think this is fox fur?"
Bai Cheng felt interesting, there must be something good about this Lu Tiannan when he became serious, he looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "You hunt with me all day long, don't you know that this is fox fur?"
Lu Tiannan nodded firmly, "It's just that I haven't seen such a purebred." ”
Bai Cheng didn't care, "My brother found it, do you think it's miscellaneous hair?" Bai Cheng snatched the hair in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see anything except the color.
Lu Tiannan said: "Does Childe know the color of this fox fur?"
Bai Cheng said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it white?
Lu Tiannan said: "If you take a closer look, the tail of this hair is shining with silver light, and each one is not, obviously not white." ”
"You mean it's a silver fox?"
Lu Tiannan nodded solemnly, "I'm afraid it's more than that." ”
Bai Cheng didn't understand what Lu Tiannan meant, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, "If you have something to say, hurry up, don't let my brother come back, I'm grounded again, and I can't see you." ”
"Yes, second son, the master of the White Gate went to Linjiang this time?"
Bai Cheng nodded.
"Does the second son know why the gods have a mansion in Linjiang?"
Bai Cheng didn't understand what this brother had to do with him.
Lu Tiannan said again: "Doesn't the second prince know that the mysterious god is a silver fox?"
Bai Cheng looked at Lu Tiannan for a long time, and finally came to his senses.
"You mean...... But how is this possible!"
"Isn't it impossible, it was rumored a while ago that there were signs of divine revival in the Qingxu Sect?"
As soon as Lu Tiannan said it, Bai Cheng seemed to understand something, but what does this have to do with his brother, can it be ......
Bai Cheng held Lu Tiannan's arm tightly, "Did you say that my brother was looking for the gods, did he do this to let our ancestors come back?"
Bai Cheng began to get excited, since the old ancestor of the demon clan was suppressed by the fox clan in the Jiuli pot, three hundred years have passed, although their demon clan has long been settled, but there are still many remnants who want to revive this old ancestor of the demon clan.
Bai Chengcheng is one of them, he is fed up with the days in this Modu City, on the surface, letting the Bai family maintain peace here in this Modu City, in essence, they are trapped here for generations, their dead parents Yes, his brother is the same.
In recent years, his elder brother Bai Yi has abdicated to let him take over the position of the head of the Bai family, and he is unwilling at all.
Once behind his brother's back, he had secretly contacted the demon people who supported his ancestors more than once.
If things are really as Lu Tiannan said, if the celestial phenomena that appeared in the void are true, then ......
Bai Cheng's eyes flashed with cunning.
Lu Tiannan ignored Bai Cheng's gaze, and only followed his words: "It's hard to say, or it's just a coincidence, our ancestor has been gone for 30,000 years, and she can't be found in these 30,000 years, and no one knows where the Jiuli pot is." ”
"The person in charge of guarding the objects left by the ancestor did not find any sign that the ancestor was coming back, and it is possible that this matter is just a simple coincidence. ”
Bai Cheng didn't think there would be such a coincidence.
He glanced at the fox fur scattered on the table, and thoughtfully, "You put these away quickly, including the bamboo, if my brother asks, he will say that he didn't see it." ”
"Yes. Lu Tiannan hurriedly cleaned up his things.
Coincidentally, Lu Tiannan left Bai Yi's study with his front foot, and Bai Yi walked in with his back foot.
Bai Cheng looked at the group of panicked brothers who suddenly came in, "Hehe...... Brother, you're here so soon. ”
Bai Yi glanced at Bai Cheng, he was in the front hall, he was almost angry with Bai Cheng, and now when he sees him, where will he have a good face.
"This is your penalty station?"
Bai Cheng stood beside the desk, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the table, and when he saw that the table was clean and tidy, he couldn't help frowning.
"Who moved my stuff. ”
Bai Cheng, who was about to argue with his brother, suddenly heard Bai Yi's words, paused, and followed his gaze, "What is it?"
Bai Yi glanced at Bai Cheng steadily, was silent for a long time, and said, "You can see the bamboo on the table?"
Bai Yi's expression was obviously worried, which greatly proved Bai Cheng's guess.
"I don't know, could it be Xiao Liu? Xiao Liu was cleaning when I came, could it be him?"
Bai Yi was upset by Bai Cheng's affairs, and did not study the credibility of his brother's words.
"What's wrong, what did you lose?" Bai Cheng asked knowingly.
"It's fine. You go back, go and call Steward Zhao, I'm going to go out in a while, and while I'm leaving, you'd better honestly take me in your room, and don't go anywhere. ”
Bai Cheng nodded stupidly, said goodbye to Bai Yi, and left.
Bai Yi's expression was solemn, looking at the empty table, and he had to return to Linjiang in advance.
Bai Cheng, who returned to the room, immediately notified Lu Tiannan and asked him to find someone to follow Bai Yi, and handed over the fox fur to several elders of the demon clan.
Everything is going on in secret.
Chi Yao, who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy in Linjiang, didn't know that it would not be long before what was waiting for her was bloody rain.
Since the agreed time with Chi Yao was three days later, Bai Yi, who returned to Linjiang on the first day, could only come to the restaurant that Chi Yao liked to eat.
Every day, Bai Yi walked out of the inn early, and waited in the restaurant for a day, but after three days, he didn't see Chi Yao's figure at all.
Linjiang said that it was not big, and it was not small, but it was really nerve-wracking to find someone here.
Finally on the fourth day, when it was the agreed time, sooner or later I came to the door of Luo Fengchen's door and knocked on the door of Luo Fengchen's wing.
Luo Fengchen opened the door with a faint fragrance wafting into the tip of Chi Yao's nose.
Luo Fengchen actually lit incense, this fragrance is quite familiar, she likes it.
"What's the matter?" the girl had been honest in the garden for three days, and had come to him early this morning, and it was not difficult to imagine what she was going to do.
"If you want to go out, the old rule, two hours. ”
When Chi Yao heard this, he was overjoyed, "Don't worry, I promise to come back at the specified time." ”
Watching Chi Yao bounce away, Luo Fengchen suddenly felt a kind of unreachable, he retracted his gaze, reached out and slightly grasped the air in front of him, watching the air flow through his fingers, this feeling was too bad.
He withdrew his hand and walked towards the study.
Chi Yao happily came to the agreed place, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the restaurant, he saw the shopkeeper greeted him excitedly, "The girl is here, you don't know that your friend has been waiting for you here for three whole days." ”
"Friend, three more days?"
"yes, right there!"
Chi Yao looked in the direction of the shopkeeper, and saw Bai Yi walking towards him in a dark robe.
Chi Yao politely thanked the shopkeeper and walked towards Bai Yi, "You waited for me for three days?"
The two sat down at a table nearby, Bai Yi was a little embarrassed, "I can't hide it, I really lost the girl's things." ”
"Lost?" Chi Yao was also surprised, more disappointed, she thought she would be able to get it today, but it was a pity.
"It's okay, it's okay, if you lose it, you lose it, I didn't expect you to wait here for three days. ”
Bai Yi was also extremely embarrassed, in order to make up for it, he deliberately tied up the old man who made the brush, "Luo Chi, in order to make up for my measures, I brought the person who made the brush, do you see that you still have something there? We can make it fresh, well, it should be possible before dinner." ”
The time before dinner was his nonsense, and he was suddenly very reluctant to see her disappointed eyes.
"Really?" Chi Yao sat up excitedly, and then sat down awkwardly, "If you can really do it tonight?"
"Hmm. "Bai Yi's righteous promise.
"I have it, but ......" Chi Yao looked around, do you want to go home with me, my things are at home, and the bamboo will be cut down, you see ......"
"Good. Bai Yi didn't want to agree, at least he would know where she was in the future, and he still had one thing to be sure.
Chi Yao had dinner with Bai Yi and took Bai Yi to the bridge outside the small building in the middle of the lake.
Bai Yi looked at the bridge under his feet, looked at the courtyard that led to the only one, and the fire burning in his heart was suddenly doused by a basin of cold water that had been cold for thousands of years.
"Do you really live here?" Bai Yi's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Chi Yao.
Chi Yao didn't know why, "yes, what's wrong?"
Bai Yi hurriedly avoided Chi Yao's eyes, trying to make himself look extremely natural, "It's okay, Luo Chi, I'm still waiting for you here, just bring me the things." ”
Chi Yao thought about Luo Fengchen's cold temper, if he knew that he would be scolded if he saw her bring a stranger to Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake, he simply responded, "Then you wait for me here, I will go back immediately, that cutting bamboo may delay some time, if you are bored, you can actually go to the street for a while." ”
Bai Yi only pulled out a far-fetched smile and said, "It's okay, I'll just wait for you here." ”
