Chapter 36: Be open and honest
Bai Canghai was startled, and immediately retracted his hand, and at the same time looked back, only to see a masked woman in white who was victorious in snow appeared behind him at some point.
He had naturally seen this woman in white, the first time she entered the cabin, this woman was playing against Fang Xian, and then Bai Canghai had seen her true face in that strange bronze mirror.
This woman's face is somewhat similar to Bai Canghai's beloved dream woman, when Bai Canghai first saw her in the bronze mirror, he almost mistook it for the dream woman appeared, which made him quite excited.
Now that the woman was standing in front of her, staring at the veil on her face, Bai Canghai couldn't help but think of her exquisite appearance again.
But Bai Canghai also knew that this woman was an immortal cultivator, the heir of the rumored Hundred Flowers Valley, and the real master behind the Hundred Flowers Boat.
So Bai Canghai didn't dare to stare at her presumptuously, so he quickly shifted his gaze and bowed to her: "Bai Canghai has seen a fairy. ”
Hearing Bai Canghai's name for herself, Bai Xue was slightly stunned, and then said suspiciously: "Bai Gongzi is as wise as a torch, but I don't know how Gongzi saw my identity?"
Bai Canghai suddenly knew that he had said the wrong thing, Mo Datong once mentioned that in this world of immortal cultivators, the title of 'fairy' generally refers to female monks, and calling her 'fairy' himself doesn't mean that he already knows her identity?
So Bai Canghai remained silent, pretending to be dazed and surprised: "Identity? I don't know what the girl's identity is? I see the girl's temperament is elegant and unearthly, really like a fairy descending to earth, so I subconsciously call you 'fairy', are you really a fairy who can't go down to earth?"
Bai Xue was amused by Bai Canghai's words, and then stopped dwelling on this question, and said truthfully: "Of course I am not a fairy, I am just an ordinary monk, but I don't deserve the title of 'fairy'." ”
"I don't know what to call a fairy?" Seeing that he recognized the identity of the immortal cultivator in person, Bai Canghai immediately asked.
Bai Xue sighed and said truthfully: "I was an orphan since I was a child, and I was adopted and raised by my master, and I don't know who my surname is, but my master has always called me 'Bai Xue'. ”
"Bai Xue, good name!" Bai Canghai repeated, and then his eyes lit up, and he almost said: "Your name is Bai Xue, that is your surname Bai, it seems that we were a family five hundred years ago, so I'll call you Sister Bai, okay?"
Bai Xue smiled and neither agreed nor refused Bai Canghai's request, but pointed to the small flag in front of him and said, "This flag is the array flag on this hundred flowers ship, and it cannot be easily touched." ”
"Array Flag?" Bai Canghai glanced back at the small flag, and was about to ask what the 'array flag' was, when he heard Bai Xue suddenly muttering to himself again, "The blade of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold...... This poem is quite inspirational, but what was written by Childe?"
Bai Canghai didn't know what she meant by suddenly reciting this poem, so he could only nod slightly.
"Mei Xue did not refuse to descend in the spring, and the saugers put aside the pen fee to comment on the chapter. The plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum and a piece of fragrance. Bai Xue lightly opened her lips and read another song, and then stared at Bai Canghai's eyes and praised: "The son is talented, Bai Xue obeys ......"
Bai Canghai immediately waved his hand and said, "Sister Bai may be mistaken, this poem was not written by me, but by my eldest brother Moda......"
"Hehe......" Bai Xue chuckled and shook her head, "I am confident that I still have a little bit of a vision for people, how can this person write such a poem because he is brave but not talented? I think this poem was probably ghostwritten by you, right?"
"There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone. I know that it is not snow, only dark incense. Without waiting for Bai Canghai to speak, Bai Xue read out another poem he wrote, and said with a smile: "Don't you say, this poem was not written by you?" You don't have to worry, I Baihuachuan has always respected talented scholars and talents, and I will not do anything out of the ordinary to you, and I hope that Gongzi can open his mind and not reject people thousands of miles away." ”
Bai Canghai nodded awkwardly, not knowing the true intention of Bai Xue's words, so he didn't speak.
And Bai Xue also seemed to see that Bai Canghai still had concerns, and said again: "You may have seen it, then I might as well be open and honest with you, the reason why my Hundred Flowers Ship selected talented Confucian scholars among the Three Kingdoms of Tiannan is actually to let them help us complete an extremely important thing." As for what it is, I can't say to Childe right now, the person who can board the Hundred Flowers Boat has only met our first request, and there is still a test to be carried out, and only the person who has passed this test will be able to tell him openly and honestly what it is. As long as Childe is willing to help us complete that thing, I Bai Xue can call the shots, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, I will officially send this Hundred Flowers Boat to Childe, and the girls on the ship are also at the disposal of Childe......"
Bai Canghai bowed his head silently, Bai Xue's words would not be false, this was exactly what he and Mo Datong guessed, but Bai Canghai didn't want to get involved in the matter of the Hundred Flowers Valley, so he asked knowingly: "I passed the final test?"
Bai Xue explained: "Do you remember the matchmaker's spiritual test for you? That is the final test, Childe's essence blood makes the spirit bead emit a dazzling seven-colored light, which means that Childe's spiritual root qualification is excellent, and it will definitely be able to help us complete that thing......"
"Seven-colored light?" Bai Canghai interrupted her, and at the same time pretended to be apprehensive and said, "Is this what the matchmaker said to you?"
Bai Xue nodded, and asked rhetorically seemingly casually, "Isn't it?"
Bai Canghai secretly scolded in his heart, he was still testing himself, so he planned it, secretly glanced around left and right, approached Bai Xue's side and whispered: "Since I called you Sister Bai, then I will tell you the truth, that matchmaker is actually lying to you, I don't have any seven-colored light at all, she is wrong......"
"The matchmaker dared to deceive me, and see how I punished her when I went back. Hearing this, Bai Xue seemed to be very angry, and then asked Bai Canghai again: "Since there is no seven-colored light, what kind of light did she emit on the spirit bead when she measured your spirit?"
Seeing that she still didn't give up, Bai Canghai could only frown and said: "There is no seven-colored light at all, there is just a blue and red light emitting from that bead......"
"What's the matter with the broken bead?" Bai Xue continued.
Bai Canghai's face did not change color, and replied: "It was broken by the matchmaker." ”
Bai Xue suddenly, and after saying another sentence to punish the matchmaker, she said to Bai Canghai: "The blue and red bright light is also extremely rare." Please don't shirk and help us complete that important thing......"
Bai Canghai said with a bitter face: "The fairy is serious, what can I do for you as a powerless person? I see that there are many talented people in the cabin, can't they meet your requirements?"
Bai Xue sighed and said: "There are indeed many talented people among them, but there are only a handful of people who can meet the two conditions, except for Childe, we only found two people, and their conditions are not as good as Childe, and only Childe is most likely to help us complete that." ”
Seeing that Bai Canghai was still hesitating, Bai Xue said earnestly: "Childe don't worry, the thing we asked Childe to do is not dangerous to Childe, and if Childe can help us complete that thing, maybe we can also get a great opportunity, and it is also very possible to embark on the road of cultivating immortals from now on." I, Bai Xue, can swear in front of Childe, everything I say is true, and I will never dare to deceive Childe......"
"Let me think about it, okay?"
"Naturally. Bai Xue objected to Bai Canghai and bowed, and said with a smile: "Childe can think about it slowly on the Hundred Flowers Boat, if you have any feelings, come and inform me, Bai Xue is waiting for you at any time." Of course, don't worry about the child, if you don't want to, please admit frankly, the Hundred Flowers Boat will not be difficult for others, and the three of them will naturally leave safely when the time comes......"
With that, Bai Xue didn't stay long, turned and walked towards the cabin.
But after walking a few steps, she seemed to remember something, and turned to Bai Canghai again: "There is one more thing to explain to Childe, because three suitable candidates have been found, and the next trip of the Hundred Flowers Boat will be canceled, and when the time comes, I will use Childe's identity as the 'master of the Hundred Flowers Boat' as a shield, and please don't blame Childe." As compensation, before the Hundred Flowers Boat goes to sea, Childe and the other two people who are on the ship together can stay on my Hundred Flowers Boat, and there is no time limit......"
Seeing that Bai Canghai had no objection, Bai Xue left with a smile.
Bai Canghai stood alone, frowning and thinking about what Bai Xue said to him.
Although this Bai Xue said very sincerely, her attitude towards herself was also very modest, and she also made it clear that she would not be embarrassed if she refused, but who can guarantee that she will definitely do what she says?
So Bai Canghai wanted to go to Mo Datong to discuss countermeasures.
But at this moment, a strong fragrance of flowers suddenly came from behind him.
Bai Canghai looked back, only to see a white light suddenly shining on the small pennant in front of him, and the rich floral fragrance overflowed from the white light.
Bai Canghai was curious, and at the same time remembered what Bai Xue had just said.
Array flags.
This is what Bai Xue called this small flag.
Now it seems that this small flag is very unusual, and has some special role that I don't know.
So Bai Canghai didn't care to think about what Bai Xue said to him, so he stood next to the small flag, quietly observing the changes on the small flag......
