Chapter 40: The Hall of the Eagles
Practicing day and night, Subei tempered the whole body meridians and acupoints, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was already dark. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The dilapidated attic in front of him has been renewed, and in the bright lights, Subei can clearly see that all the rotten beams and columns in the attic have been replaced, the ground is paved with a layer of pale yellow stalls, the mottled inner and outer walls are all freshly painted, and all the household ornaments brought from the Nine Tails Mansion have also been placed, and two big red lanterns are hung at the door.
When Su Bei woke up, Yinsuo was standing in the main hall and talking to an old man wearing a blue scribe scarf, a yellow robe, and a meticulously groomed beard.
Running to the position of two or three zhang in front of Subei, Yinsuo grabbed the old man in yellow shirt who wanted to walk to Subei, waved his hand and shouted: "Young Master!"
Su Bei stood up, scratched the back of his head and asked, "Why is it getting dark? Didn't you say that the person who wants to repair the house came and you called me?"
Yinsuo smiled and raised his chin at Rhubarb, who was lying beside Su Bei, "Then I also want Lord Rhubarb to allow the slave to get close to you!"
"Hmph!" Lord Rhubarb snorted lazily, seemingly very satisfied with the sound of the silver lock.
Seeing its lazy appearance, Su Bei bent down and rubbed its head wildly, "It's like this, Sister Yinsuo, don't be like it, don't recruit it when I cultivate in the future, just call me from a distance." ”
Yinsuo pursed his lips, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Su Bei not blaming Rhubarb but letting him not recruit it next time, but he still saluted in a proper manner: "Slave and maid remember." ”
Su Bei nodded, and his eyes fell on the old man in the yellow shirt: "Who are you?"
The old man in the yellow shirt glanced at the rhubarb, and saw that it was lazy and didn't seem to have any intention of standing up, so he stepped forward and said: "The old slave is the housekeeper sent to you by the Renhe Palace, and the old slave's surname is the king's name. ”
"Laifu?" Su Bei thought about it, and felt that this name was too much like a dog's name, so he shook his head and said: "I will still call you Lao Wang in the future, I am a newcomer, and I don't know much about our Zaiwu Mountain, so I will bother Lao Wang to mention it more in the future." ”
Wang Laifu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, but as long as the old slave knows, he will definitely know everything and say everything." ”
Su Bei nodded at him, and turned his gaze to Yinsuo, "Sister Yinsuo, have you cooked?" I'm hungry." ”
Yinsuo pouted at him again, "The pots and pans are all there, how do the slaves cook?"
Su Bei turned his head to look, and it was really angry, so angry that he squatted down again and hugged Rhubarb's head and rubbed wildly, "You stupid, you don't let the pots and pans return the beads, oh no, Sister Yinsuo, let's drink the northwest wind at night?"
While fighting with the clutches of northern Jiangsu, the old man of rhubarb grinned and said: "You drink the northwest wind, this old man has meat and bones, you don't need to drink the northwest wind!"
Su Bei was furious, "You don't care if you eat what you have, right?
"Huh", Rhubarb howled, turned over and pressed Su Bei to the ground with a paw, "Dare to hit the idea of this master's flesh and bones, this master will fight with you!"
Half an hour later, Subei finally had a hot meal.
A square gold-covered glass table brought by Subei from Qingqiu, Subei, Yinsuo, and Wang Laifu sit on one side to eat, and Rhubarb sits on one side to gnaw on their own pork legs.
Su Bei pulled the food into his stomach while taking the time to ask, "Lao Wang (chewing)...... I just arrived today...... (swallowing) Zaiwu Mountain, is there anything Ming'er has to do?"
Compared with Subei's unrestrained eating, Wang Laifu was much more restrained, and he didn't dare to clip the rice bowl and dishes, and when he heard Subei's question, he immediately put the dishes and chopsticks back on the table, thought seriously for a while, and said cautiously: "Master, you are new to the Dao, there are a lot of things to do, but tomorrow is the day of the Eagle Pavilion preaching, the master can go to the Eagle Hall tomorrow to mix with other inner disciples, after all, people pay attention to a person's love and sophistication wherever they go." ”
Su Bei suddenly realized and praised: "It makes sense, I heard that there is an old man in the family before, and it is true...... But what is the Eagle Palace?"
Wang Laifu explained: "The young eagle refers to the fledgling eagle, the young eagle hall is the place where all the inner disciples of our Zaiwu Mountain listen to the sermon, every Friday every month, there will be a deacon or elder to go to the young eagle hall to preach, tomorrow happens to be the twentieth day of the lunar month, the day of the young eagle hall preaching, but all the inner disciples in the mountain will go." ”
Su Bei thought about it seriously, and felt that since he was already an inner disciple of Zaiwu Mountain, it would definitely be beneficial to get to know the senior brother in the mountain.
"Nacheng, then Lao Wang, you will take me over tomorrow morning to take a look. ”
Wang Laifu responded, and Subei continued to bury his head in eating.
After chatting for a few words, perhaps because he felt that Su Bei really didn't have any steam and had a good temperament, Wang Laifu slowly became less restrained, "Master, please forgive the old slave for one more word, if you really want to go to the Eagle Hall tomorrow, then your self-proclaimed "me" addiction will have to be changed, and others will laugh at you." ”
"Oh", Su Bei remembered that when he was in the Nine-Tails Mansion before, the old housekeeper seemed to have said the same thing, "Okay, I'll be in the future, no, I'll pay more attention." ”
He still listens to good words.
Wang Laifu smiled and nodded, feeling that he was quite lucky to be able to serve such a talkative master.
After eating, Su Bei continued to hold the futon and go back to the courtyard to meditate, running the "Yin and Yang Hundred Refining Sutra" to absorb the Yuehua Quenching Soul...... A month ago, his dream was just to be a rich man who had no worries about food and clothing, and now, he has become a rich man who is richer than all the rich people in Yanquan Pass, but he has no sense of satisfaction in his heart, and even he has forgotten that all this was once his dream.
It's not that he has to look forward to Chu, it's not that he's greedy and not satisfied, but his dream, which has already subtly become powerful in your life in Qingqiu for a month, strong enough to protect his sister Su Qingxuan, to protect the Nine-Tails Mansion, and to protect all the people and things he wants to protect...... In this life, he didn't want to see anyone he cared about die in his arms again.
Maybe that's growth.
......
"Master, master......"
In the haze, Su Bei heard as if someone was shouting, he slowly collected his work, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Laifu standing two or three feet away looking at himself, and beside him, Rhubarb was baring his teeth at him.
He rubbed the top of its head, looked up at the sky, and saw that there were still faint stars hanging in the bright sky, so he couldn't help yawning, "Old Wang, it's so early!"
Wang Laifu replied, "Aren't you going to the Eagle Palace? This place is a little far from the Eagle Palace, and it is your first time going, so it is better to go earlier." ”
Su Bei stood up and said with a smile: "You are really thoughtful, you have bothered." ”
Wang Laifu nodded modestly and said, "Yes, master, let's go." ”
Su Bei patted the yawning rhubarb sitting beside him, "Let's go." ”
Rhubarb stood up, shook his tail and followed Su Bei out.
Wang Laifu glanced at Rhubarb and wanted to say something, but seeing Su Bei's natural appearance, he felt that he should have a number in his heart, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
After the two of them went out, they walked straight up along the wide and flat winding mountain avenue, and along the way, Wang Laifu kept pointing to the southeast and northwest to introduce the Gonggong Hall to Northern Jiangsu, where was the Baicao Hall that sold the elixir, where was the Digong Hall where the Dongfu adjusted the concentration of the spiritual veins in the Dongfu, and where was the person who managed the disciples' servants and received the tasks handed in by the sect......
According to Wang Laifu, Zaiwu Mountain sounds like only one mountain, but it actually refers to a mountain range, and the place where they are now is the main peak of Zaiwu Mountain.
At the foot of the main peak, there are branches of each hall, for the various daily needs of many outer disciples distributed around the main peak, under normal circumstances, outer disciples are not allowed to come to the main peak, of course, there is a layer of prohibition at the foot of the main peak, and the waist card of the outer disciples cannot go up the mountain.
Wang Laifu said that the aura of the main peak is several times that of the surrounding mountains, and the aura in the cave of those inner disciples is several times that of the outside world, which is extremely conducive to hidden cultivation.
After walking all the way, northern Jiangsu finally had a vague impression of Zaiwu Mountain.
"Here, the young master's golden attic is the Eagle Palace, you can go by yourself, the identity of the old slave can't step into the Eagle Palace", halfway up the mountain, Wang Laifu pointed to the huge golden palace in front of him and said to Subei.
Su Bei glanced at it and said to Wang Laifu: "Cheng, then you will go back first, I... When I'm done listening to the sermon, I'll go back by myself, and I remember the way. ”
Wang Laifu nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, and couldn't help but turn around and say to Subei: "Master, you let Rhubarb go back with the old slave, it's not suitable for it to go in." ”
Su Bei replied without thinking about it: "It's okay, it will follow me." ”
Wang Laifu was very thoughtful, afraid that Rhubarb would cause trouble for Subei here, but he didn't know what status Rhubarb had in Subei's heart...... Rhubarb is not a pet for northern Jiangsu, it is a relative, a brother, a sibling, as long as he can go to a place, he takes it for granted that rhubarb can also go, and where rhubarb is not allowed to enter, he will not go in.
Just like when he was in the Nine Tails Mansion, the old housekeeper did not allow Rhubarb to go to the dinner table, and the result was that Subei and Rhubarb sat on the ground together.
Wang Laifu wanted to say something, but Su Bei had already led the rhubarb towards the Eagle Palace, so he could only sigh lightly and find a clean bluestone next to him and sit down...... He had a hunch that rhubarb would cause trouble for northern Jiangsu.
At this time, the sky was just dawn, the hour was still early, and when Subei stepped into the Eagle Palace, he only saw hundreds of bright yellow futons neatly placed on an open-air spacious platform, and there was no one inside.
He glanced around, picked a futon near the pillar, and led Rhubarb over to sit down.
Rhubarb guarded Subei all night, and was sleepy and panicked at this time, as soon as Subei sat down, it fell asleep with its head on Subei's lap, and it didn't take long for it to let out bursts of loud snoring.
Su Bei gently stroked its body, patiently waiting for the arrival of the senior brothers of Zaiwu Mountain.
