Chapter 067: The Birthday of a Cup of Wine (3)
The lotus leaves beating in the pond are the sunshine that induces people to sleep.
Bai Luoshang leaned under the gazebo, squinting his eyes pleasantly, and looked at the martial arts training ground not far away from the narrow gap in his eyes.
It is said to be a martial arts training ground, but in fact, it is a vacant land planted with turf, not big or small, and a stone table is set up on the side of the venue, and a purple embroidered robe is placed on the stone table.
Lin An held a long sword slightly, dancing on the field, his body was elegant, his steps were like the wind, his superb swordsmanship, Luoying's colorful swordsmanship, and the flashing sword light of the clouds and flowing water were simply dazzling.
Bai Luoshang took off the wine gourd, pulled out the lid, and enjoyed the sword dance while sipping sake.
The sword wind swept by, and a flying flower fell on Bai Luoshang's hand.
"Good swordsmanship. Bai Luoshang held the petals and admired sincerely.
He hadn't really seen Lin Anwei's skills, but he knew that the swordsmanship of this Lin Zhuang master and Duan Daochang's swordsmanship should be on par, and perhaps, this villager's swordsmanship was even better than Duan Daochang's.
Duan Nanshan's swordsmanship is exquisite and superb, but compared with the swordsmen on the rivers and lakes, there is more righteousness and less sharpness. Maybe it's because he's a Taoist priest, and even his swordsmanship exudes a faint detachment of Gu Bai Sensen.
Lin Anwei's swordsmanship, the sword wind is fierce, the sword aura is horizontal, but it is different from the ordinary swordsman, his swordsmanship is more chic, less restrained, although his swordsmanship is sharp, but there is no murderous aura, this may be because he doesn't like to kill, maybe he has never used his sword to hurt people, maybe his sword is clean, so he can use such a chic swordsmanship.
Blowing off the petals in his hand, Bai Luoshang raised his gaze and looked at Lin Anwei's hand holding the sword.
The fingers of the hand were slender and the joints were distinct, and the sword in his hand was purple and shining, and a golden tassel hung from the hilt.
Pretty fingers, nice sword.
For a swordsman, his life is often on the sword he holds in his hand.
I don't know if Lin Anwei's life is on this sword.
Lin Anwei sat down opposite, put the sword on the stone table, and poured a teapot for himself.
Bai Luoshang lazily changed his posture, leaned on the railing, and said with a smile: "Obviously there is sake here, but you choose to drink herbal tea." ”
Lin An smiled and took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "Brother Bai doesn't know, I have a problem, once I drink wine, I must sleep." ”
Bai Luoshang blinked his eyes and asked, "No matter when you drink, no matter how much you drink, you must sleep?"
Lin An smiled and nodded, "So I rarely drink alcohol, and I only drink a little at night." ”
It's a strange problem.
Bai Luoshang shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately, I don't have this problem. ”
Lin Anwei poured another cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Bai Luoshang also poured himself a glass of wine, and while drinking the wine, he looked at Lin Anwei, and after drinking the glass of wine, he asked with a smile: "Isn't the owner of the village going out today?"
Lin An smiled and said, "Don't go out either." ”
Bai Luoshang said with a smile: "Since you don't go out, how about you drink two drinks with me?"
Lin An thought about it slightly and agreed.
Drinking with Bai Luoshang is actually a kind of enjoyment, how can people who like to drink be willing to refuse this enjoyment?
Lin Anwei took the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Bai Luosheng, and also poured himself a glass.
found someone to drink with him, Bai Luoshang was naturally happy, and couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "This weather is good, the wine is good,." ”
Lin An smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Bai is also in a good mood. ”
Bai Luoshang nodded with a smile, of course he was in a good mood, he was always in a good mood, so he was always smiling.
After drinking, his eyes turned into water, his eyes flowed, he swept around the yard, and said with a smile: "This gazebo is good, the pool is good, and the yard is even better." It's just one thing I don't understand, how can anyone be willing to sell such a good yard for ten taels? There are also rumors of haunted houses......
Lin An slightly blocked his next words, pointed to the pond in front of him, and said, "What do you think of this pond?"
Bai Luoshang craned his neck to look at the pool, but there was nothing but the sparkling water of Hessesen.
The lotus leaves have just emerged from the water, and they have not yet become shaded, and the sparse leaves, like plates floating on the water, are gently swaying in the waves.
Lin An smiled and asked, "Can you see anything unusual?"
Bai Luoshang asked rhetorically: "Do you see something wrong?"
Lin An shook his head slightly and sighed: "I can't see it, but the mystery of the ghost house is in this pool." ”
Bai Luoshang looked at the pond again, frowned, and said, "What's wrong with this pool?"
Lin An got up slightly and walked towards the pool, the sword in his hand reflecting the sparkling water.
Bai Luoshang also took two steps forward, quietly waiting for Lin Anwei to continue.
"The problem is in the name of this pool. Lin An said slightly.
"What kind of name?" Bai Luoshang said curiously.
"Soul Pool. ”
What a quirky name.
Who in the world would give their pond such a strange name?
Bai Luoshang rubbed the tip of his nose and said with a smile: "This pool must have a weird story." ”
Lin An smiled and explained the origin of this pool.
A hundred years ago, there lived a prosperous family in this courtyard, living a life of fine clothes and fine food.
As the saying goes, full of warmth and lust, hunger and cold make a thief.
has been rich for more than three generations, and the bottom are all children of gentlemen with extravagant temperament and arrogant language. Single-mindedly thinking about enjoying his life, he fights cocks all day long, indulges in wine, and does not want to make progress, and then he doesn't know why, but he was slaughtered overnight.
Hundreds of people from the entire clan survived, and when they died, blood flowed into the pool, and the crystal clear lake began to flourish with a strong resentment.
The water of the pond was boiling from time to time, and the sound of whimpering was like the crying of a thousand unjust souls. And the owner who lives in this house will have relatives who suddenly die.
Later, there were rumors that the ancestors of this family were haunted by lustful ghosts, this kind of * ghosts are often close to lustful people, worship people and adultery, and ghosts eat lewd/dirty things, meet people pregnant, ghosts are reincarnated, born as people, men like greed/lewdness, women are prostitutes, to * humane. Therefore, it will lead to the disaster of annihilation.
After Bai Luoshang heard this, he just smiled and asked Lin Anwei: "Could it be that the owner of the village also believes these rumors?"
"Not enough to be fully convinced. Lin An waved his sword slightly, and the shadow of the sword crossed a water mark on the water: "After all, the time is long, and it is inevitable that it will not be exaggerated by the rumors." ”
Bai Luoshang looked at the clear pool water, shivered for no reason, glanced at Lin An quietly, and asked softly: "So, how much does the owner of the village still believe in these haunted rumors?"
"Why don't you believe it?" Lin An held the tip of the sword slightly, "After all, the previous owner of this house had seen the haunting with his own eyes. ”
"There are only two things in this world that I will never believe, one is that the Taoist has become as smiling and talking as I do, and the other is the theory of gods and ghosts. Bai Luoshang shook his arm and said, "It's not that there are ghosts in this world, it's just people's consciousness nonsense, I still can't believe it." ”
Lin An thought for a moment, and nodded as well: "Since ancient times, demons have been born from the heart, and the theory of ghosts and gods is indeed not enough to make people believe it. ”
Bai Luoshang looked at the dark pond again, "If there are really ghosts in the world, isn't this courtyard very dangerous? ”
Lin An glanced at Bai Luoshang slightly, then turned his head to look at the pond, with a smile in his eyes, "Don't be afraid of ghosts." ”
Bai Luoshang said strangely: "Could it be that you still have a way to break the ghost?"
Lin An said slightly: "The method is very simple, just burn some paper money." ”
Bai Luoshang was surprised: "That's it?"
Lin An nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Since I told you, this method will definitely work." ”
Bai Luoshang touched his nose and sighed: "Money can make ghosts grind?"
Lin Anwei replied with great certainty: "That's exactly the truth." ”
Bai Luoshang smiled, "I thought that only 'people' were open-minded to money, but I didn't expect that 'ghosts' were the same." ”
Lin An turned around slightly and walked back to the pavilion, "Brother Bai won't go out today?"
Bai Luoshang also folded back, and said with a smile: "It's okay today, you don't need to go out." ”
Lin An said slightly: "Isn't Brother Bai always going out for something, and even more so when he has nothing to do?"
Bai Luoshang smiled awkwardly, it turned out that Lin Anwei knew him so well. After thinking about it, Bai Luoshang said with a smile: "On weekdays, I must have gone out early in the morning, but today is different." ”
Lin An smiled and asked, "What's different today?"
Bai Luoshang rolled his eyes and said, "Today is the birthday of the owner of the village, and I said that I would invite you to drink." ”
Lin An thanked him slightly and said, "The wine was already drunk yesterday." ”
Is this a rejection?
This is the first time that Bai Luosheng has been rejected for inviting someone to drink, because he usually almost never invites people to drink, and he usually likes to let others invite him to drink. Now it's rare to invite someone to drink once, but it's actually refused.
Of course, Lin Anwei is not a person who likes to refuse other people's kindness, usually other people's kindness, he generally does not easily refuse, especially a person like Bai Luoshang who makes him feel familiar at first sight, he will not refuse. And this time, Bai Luoshang was rejected by him for the first time, and he had a reason.
As for this reason, Lin An didn't say anything, and Bai Luoshang probably guessed it, so Bai Luoshang was silent. After a while, Bai Luoshang sighed and cut to the point: "I think the owner of the village is reluctant to go out with me for a drink, so there must be something else to do." ”
Lin An nodded slightly.
Bai Luoshang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Maybe the person who has something else to do is not the owner of the village, but the next one." ”
Lin An pursed his lips slightly.
Bai Luoshang rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile: "So, the owner of the village still wants to go down to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion?"
Lin An smiled and said nothing.
Bai Luoshang sighed again and said, "I'm really curious about what kind of box it is, but I'm even more curious about whether the idea of letting me go to Dingguohou Mansion is the meaning of the owner of the Zhuang or the idea of Daoist Ziyun." ”
Lin Anwei still smiled and didn't say anything.
Bai Luoshang shook his head and sighed helplessly: "I also know if the owner of the village doesn't say it, the Taoist chief doesn't have many words on his lips, but there are a lot of things in his head. ”
Lin Anwei still smiled and didn't say anything.
Bai Luoshang knew very well in his heart that he was afraid that Duan Nanshan's purpose of letting him travel thousands of miles to Fengzhou was not just as simple as taking medicine for his injuries.
"The Taoist can even think of me for this kind of thing, it seems that it must be because I am too famous. When Bai Luoshang said this, he didn't even mean a little modesty, "A very famous person will always be remembered, so celebrities like me will always encounter this kind of thing." ”
