Chapter 62: Adoption (4,000 words)
Flowers are full of trees, and falling flowers are colorful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The White Castle continues to climb upwards along the winding path, from the stone house, and the scenery changes along the way.
This is a path between flowers, and all kinds of strange flowers are planted on both sides of the road, which are fragrant and brilliant. Under the shade of flowers, there are many statues of women, and these statues have different appearances, costumes, demeanors, and movements.
Some are women dressed in palace costumes, with dignified manners and glamorous appearances, some are small jasper demeanors, contemplative with cheeks raised, slightly frowning between their eyebrows, and some are children of the rivers and lakes, heroic and sassy, and proud.
The only thing these sculptures have in common is that the stone and carving of all the sculptures are extremely high-quality, made of the best sheep fat jade, and carefully ground by famous artists.
Baicheng counted roughly along the way, there were at least dozens of sculptures on the side of the road, not to mention that they could not be seen from a distance for a while, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, they had stayed on Taiyin Island for a long time, and they had really become standard otaku.
The examiner of the first level, Mr. Zhu Daxue, hid in the stone jar to sleep, which is the biggest trait of otaku sleepiness, and the examiner Scrooge of the second level hid alone behind the door, which is the second major trait of otaku who are afraid of interpersonal communication, as for the examiner of the third level, although they have not met yet, but the otaku trait of liking to collect figurines has been exposed.
It seems that in ancient and modern times, as long as this person stays at home for a long time, he will become the same!
In a few moments, the White City walked through the winding path of flowers and climbed to the bottom of a fresh and elegant stone platform.
This stone platform is built on the edge of a cliff, with white stone slabs paved with steps, and a ring of white marble railings erected around it.
Bai Cheng walked up the steps to the stone platform, which was empty, except for a stone tablet standing in the corner of the stone platform.
The stele is three feet high, about one foot wide, engraved with three big characters of "Qunfangtai", the font is soft, and it is extremely graceful.
Bai Cheng was curious, walked to the edge of the stone tablet, and looked down at the bottom of the cliff.
At a glance, Bai Xin couldn't help but praise secretly, and a capital "service" word popped up in his heart!
Standing on the stone platform, as far as Bai Cheng can see, there are more than 100 female statues under the cliff at a glance, and the angle of view is the most moving side of each female sculpture.
More than 100 women gathered under a cliff, not only did they not feel crowded, but they had a lot of momentum of competing for beauty and peach and plum.
Bai Cheng secretly said in his heart, what the Lingtu Daoist said was really right, after joining the ghost village, it was really to get the wind and the rain, these more than 100 female statues cost more than millions of silver, but they were purely for fun, compared to this, the otaku figures on the earth in the previous life were simply weak.
"Hehe, the old man's group of Fangtai is good, right?"
Bai Cheng looked back and saw a short old man standing behind him with a smile on his face.
The old man had a wrinkled head, and although he was old, his face was still red, the top of his head was bare, he had a big beard, his eyes were shining, and he had a cane in his hand.
Bai Cheng smiled slightly, arched his hand and said: "This stage lives up to the name of the group, and the world is absolutely beautiful at a glance, which can be called a magic workmanship, and I admire it to the extreme." ”
The old man laughed, grabbed Bai Cheng, and said: "I'll just say that my group of Fangtai is good, there are really people in this world who can appreciate the wonders of it, they all say that I am extravagant, but I don't know that life is only the word food and color in the world, with this group of Fangtai, in the word "color", the old man has no regrets!"
Bai Cheng smiled and asked, "I don't know the old man's name?"
The old man laughed and asked, "What did the miser below say?"
Bai Cheng was slightly embarrassed and said, "That senior's title seems a little indecent. ”
The old man smiled and said, "Isn't it just the three words of the old turtle? Let them call it, the old man has the longevity of the turtle, which they can't envy." ”
Bai Cheng laughed dryly, and secretly said in his heart, if you know what the title "old turtle" means on the earth, I'm afraid you won't be so calm.
After chatting a few words, Bai Cheng said with a smile: "Old man, the disciple's name is Zhou Xin, he is from Jidu Island, and he has specially applied for the assessment of Taiyin Island, and I hope that the old man will give him advice." ”
The old man smiled, pulled Bai Cheng to the edge of Qunfangtai, and said: "The assessment is a trivial matter, you can come to Jidu Island, and sooner or later you will have to go to Taiyin Island, it is only a few years of hard work, why be in such a hurry? ”
Bai Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to stand on the stage, raising his eyes to look down at the cliff, full of spring.
The old man kept pointing out the subtleties from the side, and when he talked about the happy places, his face was full of elation, and he kept brushing his silver hair.
Bai Cheng looked at it for a while, then turned his head and said, "The old man's Qunfangtai has been extremely attentive, and he can't see the slightest deficiency in the next place. ”
The old man frowned and said: "If you really can't find the shortcomings, then go down to add a jade statue to my group of Fangtai, when can you add it, when you will pass the test, if you can't add it, then you can go back to Jidu Island." ”
Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Old man, don't say that the disciple doesn't know how to carve, even if the disciple is good at carving, I'm afraid he won't be able to find such a big jade material for a while, right?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "When you find the jade material, you can come back when you want." ”
Bai Cheng smiled bitterly and asked, "Old man, the disciples suddenly discovered that this group of Fangtai is also deficient."
The old man snorted and said, "You can talk about it carefully." ”
Bai Cheng nodded and said, "That disciple is offended!" In the disciple's opinion, although the old man's Qunfangtai is unique, it lacks a trace of vitality, and it has nothing to show for it, but it has no spirit. ”
The old man waved his hand with disdain and said, "What do you know? Under the stage of the old man, every jade statue has a great origin, how can it be described by the words 'nothing but its appearance'?"
The old man pointed to a woman in palace clothes under the stage, and said: "That is the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Feijue, not only stunning, but also martial arts, a set of 'Breaking the Sun Halberd Method' can be called the first in the Northern Qi royal family, thirty years ago she personally led the army to attack the Southern Liang and captured the Southern Liang general Xiao Jingyan, this is her demeanor when she returned to Beijing to offer prisoners, her demeanor is all directions, and her majesty is majestic. ”
Bai Cheng smiled slightly, as if he remembered something, but he didn't say it.
With a smug look on his face, the old man pointed to another woman dressed as jasper from a small family, and said, "This is the illegitimate daughter of Ye Xingshi, the head of the Ye family in Jiangnan, and a young lady of the Qin family. The Ye and Qin families were originally from the Jiangnan family, and the handsome men of the Ye family were famous all over the Jiangnan, and the beauty of the women of the Qin family was the first to dominate. Countless literati in Jiangnan guessed that if someone could combine the strengths of the two families, they would not know what kind of amazing appearance they would have, but it was a pity that the two families were feuding and could not intermarry for generations. ”
Bai Cheng nodded, the Ye and Qin families are both martial arts families, and he knows a little bit about the affairs of these two families.
The old man continued: "Ye Xingshi, the contemporary head of the Ye family, roamed the rivers and lakes when he was young and inadvertently saved a young lady of the Qin family. Although the two didn't know each other's identities, they fell in love at first sight, and they gave birth to a daughter. It's a pity that a few years later, the identities of both parties were exposed, and the masters of the Qin family came to commit it in a big way, and Ye Xingshi had no choice but to take his daughter alone. However, due to the embarrassment of the girl's motherhood, it was inconvenient for him to bring his daughter back to the Ye family, so he had to hide his daughter secretly and raise her in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, named Ye Yinglian, leaving only a nurse to raise. ”
Bai Cheng was slightly surprised, and said, "How does your old man know such secrets?"
The old man smiled but did not answer, and said: "This woman is the head of the Ye and Qin families, and her appearance is really unparalleled in the world, especially rare, she grew up in a small town since she was a child, and she is not affected by the suffering of the world, nor is she polluted by worldly fame and fortune, her appearance is matched with the purity of this 'clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving', it is really rare in the world!"
Bai Cheng said with a wry smile: "The hard work of the old man is even more rare. ”
The old man was even more proud, pointed to a heroic woman again, and said: "The Tianshan Sword Sect is known as the first sword sect in a hundred years, and the contemporary head of the Zen Master is the first swordsman of the Northern Buddhism. This woman is a closed disciple of Zen Master Ming, named Ling Yunfeng. Although she has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, she still maintains a bold temperament and righteousness. This is her demeanor of going to the outside of the Saiwai to kill the Sa's two demons and returning to the Tianshan Mountains after a great success, which is really radiant and admirable. ”
Speaking of this, the old man laughed, retook the stone tablet next to him, and asked: "The old man, every sculpture under the group of Fangtai has a history, and it is not made up for no reason or out of thin air.
Bai Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Although what the old man said has some truth, he also has something to say next, can the old man listen to it?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Bai Cheng said with a smile: "The eldest princess of Northern Qi Gao Feijue is famous, and she has heard it in the past, but it is a little different from what the old man said, it is said that Gao Feijue and Xiao Jingyan were originally a loving couple, but the two countries fought each other, and they had to fight on the battlefield. Although Gao Feijue captured Xiao Jingyan that day, he didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, how can he talk about being majestic and dignified?"
The old man was stunned and said, "This..."
Bai Cheng continued: "Let's talk about Ye Yinglian again, the old man said that she had not suffered from the people's diseases since she was a child, but she took it for granted. Although she has no shortage of food and clothing, her parents have not been around since she was a child, like duckweed in the rain, the so-called clear water out of hibiscus is just a manifestation of the sadness in her daughter's heart and her reluctance to talk to others. ”
The old man was stunned and said, "Who knew that my daughter's family had so many thoughts..."
Bai Cheng pointed to the statue of Ling Yunfeng again, and said: "For Ling Yunfeng, the old man only knows one and doesn't know the other, Ling Yunfeng and his cousin Feng Xueman are close friends, Feng Xue was killed by the Sa's twin demons when he traveled through the rivers and lakes, and died a miserable death. After she succeeded, she returned to the Tianshan Mountains, but I am afraid that it will be more sad than joyful, how can she talk about brilliance?"
The old man was stunned and said, "This... That..."
Bai Cheng smiled and asked, "Old man, if you don't guess wrong, I'm afraid that the group of fangs under this group of fangs is not carved by the old people themselves, and these stories are not collected by the old people themselves, right?"
The old man scratched his head, laughed dryly, and said: "The old man is busy all day long, how can he have time to think about this carefully? It was all done by a few apprentices under his hands, I didn't expect them to be so careless, they really should be beaten!
Bai Cheng said with a smile: "Qunfang is under the stage, although Qunfang is wonderful, but it lacks a spirit, but this spirit cannot come from the sculpture, it should be given by the old man, the old man has God in his heart, these sculptures have God, the old man has no god in his heart, these sculptures naturally have no God in his heart." ”
The old man was stunned for a long time and asked, "You and I have met for the first time today, how dare you conclude that I have no god in my heart?"
Bai Cheng smiled slightly and said: "This is also simple, although the essence of these sculptures is jade, but after carving into a human statue, it naturally has a bit of human flavor." If the old man really respects each of them, he will naturally treat each other with courtesy, but the old man has no respect for these sculptures, not only let them be exposed to the wind and sun, but also introduce them proudly, not as if they were introducing friends, but as if showing off their collections, and all kinds of performances have indeed explained everything. ”
The old man was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said: "What the little brother said is that the old man only learned today that the old man begged someone to point out the shortcomings of the sculpture, which is a great disrespect for the sculpture, and it is also the biggest deficiency of the sculpture. ”
Bai Cheng said: "It's good that the old man understands. ”
The old man nodded, his expression was a little gloomy, he pointed upward, and said, "Okay, I counted you as having passed this level! ”
Bai Cheng smiled: "Thank you old man for your success." ”
The old man said: "From now on, eight hundred steps up, there is a Nanming Lihuo Pavilion, where the Paka Dao people are, you go to him to get a token." ”
Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Disciple understands. ”
The old man sighed softly, and then said, "You have to be very careful, Daoist Paca may ask you a small question, you must be careful to answer, and you must not say it recklessly." ”
Bai Cheng's heart moved, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the old man's guidance, the disciple understands." ”
As he spoke, Bai Cheng arched his hand to the old man, turned around and walked upward.
......
The crimson walls of the courtyard are tall and sturdy, and from a distance they look like a burning flame.
Tiger leaned against the base of the wall, holding an elbow, opened his mouth to chew, and asked with a greasy mouth: "Big brother, I heard that the kid from Jidu Island came to apply for entry and exit from Taiyin Island, did you say that kid can pass the three levels?"
Hauge's face was like white paper, he lay on the rocking chair, took a sip of ginseng soup, sighed softly, and said, "Nine times out of ten." ”
Tiger was a little surprised: "Big brother, you're not wrong, right? There are very few people on our Taiyin Island who can pass the three levels at one time, and they are all famous seniors and masters in the rivers and lakes, can you rely on this kid?"
Haoge smiled bitterly and said, "If you can clean up your brother with one move, isn't it still a senior master?"
Tiger was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from a distance.
Tiger poked his head out and glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Big brother, you guessed too accurately, that kid really came up!" )
