Chapter 46: A Gentleman's Word
The man in the green shirt stared at Zi Ling and looked at it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, he walked up to Zi Ling and asked, "Daoyou is the Qingyue Senior Sister of Baihua Valley?"
Hearing the other party mention Qingyue, Zi Ling was stunned, she and Qingyue were twin sisters, this person mistook himself for Qingyue, obviously he had seen Qingyue before, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Isn't it a fellow Daoist, it's ......?"
"Senior Sister Qingyue, don't you remember me?" After the reaction on Zi Ling's face was confirmed, the man in green shirt suddenly said with joy: "I'm Long Zichuan! Five years ago, I went to live in Baihua Valley with my father for a while, don't you remember me?"
"Are you...... , Long Zichuan?" Zi Ling recalled for a while, and immediately remembered, so he circled around the man in the green shirt, and after carefully looking up and down, he suddenly burst out laughing, "Little fat man, why are you here!"
"Little fat man ......" Hearing this, Long Zichuan was speechless, he was only a little strong five years ago, where can he be called a little fat man?
Then Long Zichuan seemed to remember something, pointed to the purple clothes on Zi Ling's body, and said, "No, you are not Qingyue, you are Zi Ling, Senior Sister Qingyue will not call me a little fat man!"
"You still have a bit of vision. Zi Ling pursed his lips and smiled: "I didn't expect that after many years, you little fat man has changed your appearance, which is really impressive." ”
"Where, where. Long Zichuan smiled gently: "How can my changes be as good as Senior Sister Ziling?" Senior Sister Ziling is even more beautiful, not like the little girl who always robs me of food, I almost didn't recognize you just now!"
"Phew, who robbed you of something to eat?" Zi Ling pretended to be annoyed and said, "I can't see it, after all these years, not only have you changed your little fat man, but even your mouth has become flamboyant! By the way, why did you come here if you didn't stay in the Tiannan Sword Sect......"
Hearing Zi Ling mention the Tiannan Sword Sect, Long Zichuan quickly coughed and interrupted her words, explaining: "My cultivation has reached the peak of Qi training, but I deliberately went down the mountain to practice, and I happened to meet this old patriarch of Baijiazhai outside the Misty Mountain Fang City, so I agreed to help them get rid of the demon, but I didn't expect to meet Senior Sister Zi Ling here......"
"Have you cultivated to the peak of Qi cultivation?" Zi Ling said in surprise, "So, are you going down the mountain to find an opportunity to break through the foundation building?"
Long Zichuan nodded.
"Meeting someone in a foreign country is really a great joy in life. Hearing the two of them standing here and talking endlessly, Bai Canghai lost no time in stepping forward and said to Long Zichuan: "Long Immortal is a guest for a long time, why don't you go to the ancestral hall in the village with the Purple Spirit Fairy, and talk while resting?"
Long Zichuan did not object, but looked at Bai Canghai and asked curiously: "I don't know the name of the little brother?"
"Don't dare, in the lower Baicang Sea. Bai Canghai politely returned the salute.
Long Zichuan said again: "I listened to Brother Bai's words just now, which made Long and I feel embarrassed. Brother Bai has the people of the world in his heart, but he has a bit of the demeanor of Confucianism back then, which is really admirable......"
"Don't dare to be. Bai Canghai arched his hand and said: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and I am just moved by feelings, but Long Xianchang has worked tirelessly to catch demons for the villagers of Baijiazhai, which is even more admirable!"
Tong Bai Canghai praised Long Zichuan, and the purple spirit on the side couldn't help but think of the words he had just said to himself, and snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "Stinky boy, you are really a villain, don't you say that it is a matter of course for monks to protect mortals? Shouldn't you be paid anything? Then why don't you ask him, he, the immortal chief in your mouth, helps you catch demons and collect confiscated rewards?"
Before Bai Canghai could speak, Long Zichuan's face was slightly red after listening to Zi Ling's words, and he said in a low voice and truthfully: "Originally, Patriarch Bai promised to give me a hundred-year-old ginseng as a reward, but after listening to Brother Bai's words just now, I was so ashamed that I hereby decided that this time to help Bai Jiazhai catch demons be regarded as an experience, and I will never charge any remuneration......"
"Look at the consciousness of others! Why is the gap between people so big?" Bai Canghai smiled, shook his head and glanced at Zi Ling, and then smiled and led Long Zichuan forward.
Zi Ling was immediately annoyed, and wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave, but in the end he stomped on his heels.
The ancestral hall of Baijiazhai is located in the innermost part of the village, which occupies a very large area, but it is also divided into two halls, inside and outside.
The outer hall is not only used to entertain guests, but also the place where the old patriarch Bai Shan lives on weekdays, while the inner hall enshrines the spiritual seats of the ancestors of the Bai family.
Bai Canghai's parents died when he was a child, and he grew up eating hundreds of family meals in the village, and lived in this ancestral hall with the patriarch Baishan for most of the time.
Therefore, after returning to the ancestral hall, Bai Canghai went to the back hall with the patriarch Bai Shan, and Bai Man entertained the two monks Long Zichuan and Ziling in the front hall.
After putting a pillar of incense on the ancestors of the Bai family, Bai Canghai knelt down respectfully and kowtowed a few times before standing up.
And the white mountain, on the other hand, was enough to hug his body and take out a wooden box from the dark compartment behind a tablet.
Then he saw him trembling in his hand with the wooden box, and turned around to walk towards the front hall.
Bai Canghai immediately stopped the old patriarch.
Through the memory of the little beggar, Bai Canghai is very clear, there is an old ginseng with a full 500-year-old medicinal age in this wooden box.
This ginseng is a treasure of Baijiazhai, and I don't know how many lives of Baijiazhai people have been saved.
In Bai Canghai's memory, when the little beggar was about eight or nine years old, there was a plague in Baijiazhai, and finally the old patriarch cut off a few ginseng whiskers of this old mountain ginseng, boiled it into soup and drank it for everyone, which allowed the people in Baijiazhai to escape.
Now the old patriarch took out this life-saving thing, obviously to give this old ginseng to that Long Zichuan as a reward for helping Baijiazhai catch demons.
Bai Canghai is not a stingy person, and his first impression of Long Zichuan is also very good, if the patriarch gives him something else as a reward, Bai Canghai will not stop him.
But now the old patriarch's health is getting worse and worse, and he can use this old ginseng in the future, so Bai Canghai is reluctant to give it away like this.
"You can't keep your word. ”
The old patriarch naturally understood what Bai Canghai meant, touched his head kindly, and then walked out of the inner hall with a smile.
Bai Canghai hurriedly followed.
Looking at an old mountain ginseng in the wooden box that was more than 500 years old, Long Zichuan's heart suddenly felt a little annoyed.
I thought that this old ginseng was only one or two hundred years old at most, but I didn't expect that it really reached five hundred years of medicinal age.
And the thousand-year-old ginseng, it is all a thing with a master, and it is only available in the medicine fields of high-level monks, and if you can't pay the same price, you can't get it at all.
At this moment, Long Zichuan really regretted his decision just now.
If you can get this old ginseng and add some auxiliary medicines, then you can refine a furnace of high-quality Tsukidan.
At that time, it will be a matter of nine times out of ten to build a foundation for yourself.
But now that the words have been spoken, he naturally doesn't regret it anymore, especially in front of Zi Ling and Bai Canghai, so he has to refuse bitterly.
But the old patriarch Bai Shan insisted on letting him accept it, and showed a kind of meaning that if you don't accept it, you don't want to help us catch demons.
Long Zichuan couldn't shirk it, and when he wanted to borrow the donkey from the slope to reluctantly accept the old mountain ginseng, Zi Ling on the side couldn't help but say: "Senior Brother Long, I think so, why don't the two of us have a try, if anyone can catch the rat demon first, this five-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng will belong to whom, do you think this is good?"
"This ......" Long Zichuan frowned suddenly, he didn't expect Zi Ling to also want this old mountain ginseng, so he smiled and said: "Since Senior Sister wants it, Senior Brother, I'll give it to you." ”
"Hmph, who wants you to let it?" Zi Ling said with a disapprehensive face: "What my Zi Ling wants is obtained by his own ability, and he doesn't need others to give it." ”
Long Zichuan smiled helplessly: "Okay, according to my sister's wishes, I will make a bet with my sister here to see who can finally get this old ginseng." ”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Canghai on the side couldn't help but laugh: "Are you two too arrogant?
"Just you?" Zi Ling looked disdainful.
Long Zichuan also smiled: "If Brother Bai can catch the rat demon one step ahead of the two of us, this old ginseng will naturally belong to Brother Bai." ”
"Good. Bai Canghai said with a smile: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, don't regret it when the time comes!"
Long Zichuan repeated Bai Canghai's words with a smile, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, so naturally he will not regret it!"
Zi Ling had no choice but to swear by high-five the two, and after the night of the meeting, they each relied on their abilities to catch the rat demon......
