Volume 1 The ups and downs of his life Chapter 100 Bai Mengtang
Ye Zhanjian stepped in. Wang Xiaotian immediately followed as he was instructed. Entering the gate, he couldn't help but look back, wanting to see what kind of master he was, quietly coming over and opening the door for them.
Looking back, Wang Xiaotian's hair suddenly stood on end.
What the hell! I don't even have a figure!
Ye Zhanjian stopped, turned his head and looked at Wang Xiaotian with a mocking expression: "Scared?"
Wang Xiaotian stubbornly said, "No." β
Ye Zhanjian smiled: "Your face is white with fright, and you still say that you are not afraid?"
Wang Xiaotian's face turned red and said, "I'm just a little surprised." β
"Huh. There's nothing to be ashamed of being scared. Ye Jianjian suddenly said seriously: "The fear of the unknown is a normal emotion that everyone has. Next, you have to see where every step of my move will be, and don't be wrong, otherwise, no one will save you. β
Ye Zhanjian nodded again and again, looking at the courtyard curiously.
The yard is not big, but it is full of strange rocks, rockeries, flower trees, green bamboos, lotus ponds, and flower beds, and it seems that there is no place to stay. On the opposite side of the courtyard, there is a row of blue brick houses.
Ye Zhanjian took seven steps to the left and nine steps forward, avoiding a strange stone that greeted the door, and went around behind the stone.
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly stepped on his footprints and followed. Ye Zhanjian took another five steps to the right, avoiding a clump of green bamboos, and then walked fourteen steps diagonally to the right front, and went straight for seven steps, avoiding the lotus pond.
Ye Jianjian continued to walk seven steps to the left, nine steps ahead, bypassed the rockery, walked five steps to the right, passed by a flower garden, and then walked fourteen steps diagonally to the right front, passed through the middle of a flower tree, and walked straight seven steps just in front of the blue brick house.
Ye Zhanjian turned his head and looked at Wang Xiaotian and said, "Do you see any doorways?"
Wang Xiaotian carefully recalled the footprints he had walked, and suddenly realized, "The direction we are walking in is two connected seven-star Beidou!"
Ye Zhanjian was surprised, "Hey, how do you know? β
Wang Xiaotian thought about it carefully, but he didn't understand why he knew this. He knew very well that this knowledge was definitely not, from the first floor of the Tower of Babel, from the books in the library, because he remembered clearly what books he had read during this time.
If it weren't for reading books, the only explanation left was that he fused with the fragments of consciousness of those parasitic souls, and obtained this knowledge.
It's his secret. Killed, he will not say it to others.
Ye Jianjian saw that Wang Xiaotian was silent, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to say it, forget it." Who doesn't have a few little secrets. Walk. I'll take you to meet someone. β
Ye Jianjian raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, two long, two short, and four times.
After a few moments, the door creaked open.
Ye Jianjian walked in with Wang Xiaotian.
The room was filled with rows of filing cabinets made of metal, and the width between each row of filing cabinets was only more than ten centimeters, and it was impossible to pass people at all.
What should I do next? Wang Xiaotian looked at Ye Zhanjian in wonder.
Ye Zhanjian understood what he was thinking, smiled at him, and shouted, "Lao Bai, come out to meet a guest." β
Wang Xiaotian looked around, wanting to see who the "old white" in Ye Zhanjian's mouth was. But no one showed up.
Wang Xiaotian was puzzled, and suddenly heard a voice coming: "The third row, advance three, retreat three." β
Ye Jianjian walked to the third row, reached out and grabbed the handle of the filing cabinet, pulled it hard, pulled out more than ten centimeters, and the cabinet made a "click" sound. Then Ye Zhanjian pushed it more than ten centimeters harder, and the cabinet made another "click" sound.
Pull out and push in three times repeatedly, only to hear a "click" and "click" sound, like popping beans. The third row of filing cabinets quickly retracted, followed by the third row as the center, and the other filing cabinets also began to quickly close to the sides, and soon flashed a passage more than a meter wide.
Wang Xiaotian stretched out his head to look and found that the bottom of the passage was empty! The third row of filing cabinets had sunk. Immediately after, a wooden staircase rises below.
"Let's go. Ye Jianjian said and walked up the stairs.
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly followed.
There are handrails on both sides of the staircase, and there are two rails outside the handrails. In the distance, there was a movement of "kalakala", which should be the sound of the third row of filing cabinets moving forward on the rails.
Walking along the stairs for more than ten meters, Wang Xiaotian calculated that such a long distance was estimated to have reached the underground of other households. I don't know if the residents on the ground know that there are these strange devices under their houses.
The passage is not dark, illuminated by finger-sized beads of light. These light beads are very strange, Wang Xiaotian has never seen them, nor have they seen them in any books.
Although he was very interested in these, Ye Zhanjian did not slow down, he could only look at it in a hurry, and speed up his pace to follow Ye Zhanjian.
Ye Zhanjian took Wang Xiaotian to turn left and right, up and down several times, and finally stood in front of a door.
Ye Jianjian looked back at Wang Xiaotian and said, "For a while, don't be surprised by what you see, you must be calm." β
Wang Xiaotian nodded confusedly.
Ye Zhanjian pushed open the door and entered. Wang Xiaotian followed him in.
It was very messy, and there was a strange thing that looked like a chair with only two legs, with its back to them. In front of it was a huge workbench full of tools, all sorts of tools, odd-shaped parts. Elsewhere in the room, there are many shelves of parts, which are also full of things.
Hearing someone come in, the two-legged, chair-like thing spun around. It rotates in a peculiar way, not panning but like a human, lifting and lowering it with its legs and feet, moving it carefully.
After the thing turned around, Wang Xiaotian was startled.
It turned out to be a humanoid mecha, with two legs in a ninety-degree horse stride, the upper body standing upright, and the hands hanging down, looking like a two-legged chair.
The mecha's chest cavity was open, and inside sat a man with a surprisingly large head, messy hair, but a body the size of a child of six or seven years old, with two thin legs like hemp rods.
The man looked at least forty years old, with gray hair on both sideburns, a pair of flat-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and two thick upturned mustaches on his lips.
The man looked at Wang Xiaotian with a grin, as if he was happy to see his surprised look.
"Old white. Ye Zhanjian raised his hand and said hello, "Introduce you to a little friend, Wang Xiaotian." Xiaotian, this is Lao Bai. β
Lao Bai stretched out his hand to Wang Xiaotian, "Bai Mengtang." You can just call me Lao Bai. β
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly stretched out his hand and held Bai Mengtang's somewhat rough hand, "My name is Wang Xiaotian, you can call me Xiaotian." β
Bai Mengtang nodded and said, "I am very presumptuous to invite you over." β
Wang Xiaotian was taken aback, glanced at Bai Mengtang in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at Ye Zhanjian.
Ye Zhanjian nodded slightly.
Bai Mengtang grinned, his beard curled higher, and said, "You must be very strange, why do I know about you?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded involuntarily. He's just a nobody, and no one should know him.
Bai Mengtang spit out four words softly and said, "Innate Xuan Vein." β
Wang Xiaotian immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, looked at Bai Mengtang and Ye Zhanjian in panic, and shouted, "Who are you?"
Ye Jianjian hurriedly comforted him, "Don't get excited, don't get excited." We have no ill will. β
Bai Mengtang smiled and said, "This reaction is exactly the same as when you fought the sword. β
Ye Jianjian smiled and nodded slightly.
Wang Xiaotian saw that they didn't show malice, and coupled with his own skills, he couldn't even beat Ye Zhanjian with one hand, so he let go of the hilt of the sword and asked, "What's going on?"
Bai Mengtang said: "It's a long story, it's too tiring to stand and listen, let's go next door, sit down and talk slowly." β
As he spoke, Bai Mengtang leaned behind him, and the chest armor of his mecha immediately stretched out to surround him, and then stood up. The height and width of the mecha are about the same as those of the Ye Zhan Sword, and the appearance is very flat, without any external weapons. If you put on a piece of clothing, you look at it from behind, and it looks like an ordinary person.
Bai Mengtang manipulated the mecha, and the agility seemed to be a normal person. He led the way in front, and the two followed Bai Mengtang to the next door.
Next door is a small bar that can accommodate about 20 people. The dΓ©cor is full of mid-era western cowboy elements. The bar counter is a log cabinet, and the tables and chairs are log tables and chairs with simple lines.
"Sit casually. Bai Mengtang walked behind the bar, "What to drink?"
Ye Jianjian sat in front of the bar and said, "Brandy." This kid is still underage, so he can only have some juice. β
Wang Xiaotian sat down next to Ye Zhanjian and looked around curiously. In his subconscious, Ye Zhanjian once saved him and was worthy of his trust.
Bai Mengtang manipulated the mecha, flexibly took the wine bottle and wine glass, poured a glass of brandy, put it in front of Ye Zhanjian, poured a glass of orange juice for Wang Xiaotian, poured a small glass of whiskey himself, sat opposite Wang Xiaotian, took a sip of wine, and said, "Let's get straight to the point." We are all innate mysteries. β
Wang Xiaotian closed his mouth in surprise.
Bai Mengtang smiled slightly and said, "How much do you know about the innate Xuan Vein?"
Wang Xiaotian came back to his senses and shook his head, "I actually don't know anything. β
"So, when did you know that you were an innate Xuanmai?"
Wang Xiaotian briefly recounted his previous experience. However, he concealed the experience of encountering the old fox man. only said that he was captured by the old fox man, taught himself some knowledge, and became the son of the beast god in a daze.
Bai Mengtang nodded when he heard this, and said, "No wonder you are not plagued by polysoulism, I see." β
Wang Xiaotian said: "Actually, I had a lot of soul disorder before, my brain was messed up like a pot of porridge, and the whole person was stupid. I can't do anything but look at ants every day. By the way, what exactly is the Innate Xuan Vein?"
Bai Mengtang took a sip of whiskey and said, "Actually, the innate Xuan Mai is just a popular saying. Folklore has it that after a person dies, the soul returns to the underworld, and after the trial of the ten halls of Yama, it is transferred to the six realms of reincarnation. Before being reincarnated, you have to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup in front of the Nai He Bridge, forget all the memories of the previous life, and start over after reincarnation. β
Wang Xiaotian nodded again and again when he heard this.
Bai Mengtang continued: "And the so-called innate Xuan Pulse is a person who was born with the memories of his previous life, and he can learn many things without learning. Legend has it that they have not drunk Meng Po soup or have a certain resistance to Meng Po soup in order to learn it. β
Bai Mengtang sighed and said, "In fact, the innate Xuan Vein is a multi-soul patient. However, polysoul is just a term in medicine. In fact, there is no authoritative explanation yet. β
Wang Xiaotian said: "Then, how did the congenital Xuan vein or polysoul disease come about?"
