Chapter 170: The Bai Family in Jiangzhou
"No problem. ”
After spitting out these words, the thin old man bowed and retreated. Every time you enter and exit, they are all silent, like ghosts.
Bai Yingtian, who was relieved, glanced at Lu Xu lightly, and when he saw this puzzled look, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Then, without explanation, he skillfully opened the letter, and pulled out the letter and looked at it carefully.
Lu Xu looked puzzled on the surface when he saw this situation, but he secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the head of the martial arts family, and he is really careful enough." ”
Seeing this, the eldest lady on the side smiled kindly at Lu Xu, and then took the ginseng tea in front of her, wanting to take a sip.
But before she could just pick it up, Bai Yingtian, who was sitting reading the letter, "snorted" and stood up, with a strange look of disbelief on his face.
"Master, what's wrong, is this letter fake?" The eldest lady, who was taken aback, hurriedly put down the teacup and asked, looking extremely concerned.
"No, it is true, and it is a letter from an elder who has been of great kindness to me. Bai Yingtian deserved to be an old Jianghu, his expression instantly returned to normal, and he said in a calm tone.
Then after he gave the lady beside him a fine look, Bai Yingtian looked at Lu Xu again.
"Your Excellency's name is Bai Xu?" Bai Yingtian asked tentatively, although his tone was still the same as just now, but the eldest lady, who was the person next to the pillow, faintly noticed that something was wrong!
Just when this woman was suspicious, Lu Xu nodded and said:
"Yes, the late birth is Bai Xu, is it like my grandfather said, I can stay in the house to study for next year's imperial examination?"
"Hehe, of course you can, I met Uncle Hansong once with my father when I was a child, I didn't expect to see his descendants today, I will treat you as a nephew. Bai Yingtian suddenly laughed heartily, his voice was so loud that everyone nearby looked at each other, and he didn't know why his master was so happy in the living room.
"Come, accompany me to the side hall to tell me about Uncle Hansong's current situation? No one else is allowed to approach the side hall without my order, I want to have a good chat with Lu Xian's nephew?" Bai Yingtian grabbed Lu Xu's arm and said enthusiastically. Then he dragged Lu Xu to the side door, and stopped the eldest lady from trying to keep up.
This made the eldest lady, who was already surprised, even more confused!
I had to watch Bai Yingtian and Lu Xu go out of the side door. and did not dare to disobey the command and follow him privately.
At this time, she was suspicious.
Lu Xu followed Bai Yingtian and came to an extremely quiet side hall.
Without saying a word, he turned one of the decorations in the hall with a vase, and then a secret room appeared out of thin air on one of the walls.
Seeing this, Bai Yingtian walked in without hesitation, and after Lu Xu smiled, he also followed in.
This secret room is not big, but it is also fully furnished with tables and chairs.
"Since Your Excellency is a person sent by the ancestors, you are also an immortal cultivator? In the living room just now, Bai Mou was offended, and I hope that Immortal Master Lu will not blame?" Bai Yingtian apologized to Lu Xu with a respectful expression as soon as he closed the door of the secret room
"It's nothing, don't blame those who don't know, what's more, this scene still has to continue. After Lu Xu sat down at the table casually, he said indifferently. At this time, his whole temperament changed, and he regained his original elegant and dusty atmosphere.
"Thank you for the generosity of the Immortal Master!"
When Bai Yingtian heard this, he became more respectful, and always stood aside, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction.
Who are the immortal cultivators, Bai Yingtian really knows too well, these are simply gods like living immortals.
What's more, if it weren't for the ancestor's one-handed support, their Bai family would never have the prominent momentum they have today. Reasonable and reasonable, Lu Xu didn't dare to have any disrespect.
"The head of the Bai family should also sit down, don't be too polite! The ancestor in your mouth is actually the senior uncle below, so to the Bai family, I am not an outsider. Lu Xu said with a smile.
"Don't dare, you are a mortal below, how dare you be rude to the immortal master, just stand aside and listen to Lu Xu's instructions below. Bai Yingtian shook his hand again and again and refused to sit down. This made Lu Xu groan thoughtfully, and then he no longer forced the other party.
"I didn't know that Immortal Master Lu was here, but the ancestor received a distress talisman below?" Bai Yingtian cautiously asked the question he was most concerned about.
Because according to his father's deathbed confession, that ancestor would only appear in person or send someone to help when there was an unsolvable danger in the Bai family. He had no choice but to crush the talisman seal left by the ancestors, and he was not sure if he could get the help of the ancestors.
Lu Xu glanced at Bai Yingtian's anxious look, and after thinking about it, he said thoughtfully: "Exactly, you sent out a distress talisman that Uncle Shi sent me over, I don't know if there is something that can't be solved." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yingtian was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "This is the case, in fact, I suspect that this matter involves immortal cultivators......
It turned out that the reason why the head of the Bai family asked for help was for his daughter, Bai Feifei. Half a year ago, Bai Feifei suddenly met a young man on the way out to play, who coveted Bai Feifei's beauty and seemed to want to rob Bai Feifei away. Later, for some reason, the other party seemed to have something urgent to leave, so he placed a ban on Bai Feifei's body and threatened to take Bai Feifei away after half a year. Who knew that after Bai Feifei came back, he suddenly fell unconscious, and the Bai family invited countless doctors to see it badly, Bai Yingtian had no choice, so he crushed the talisman seal and asked the head of the family for help.
After a long while, Bai Yingcai sighed and said:
"That's the way it is, Immortal Master Lu, do you see......? This is ...... How is it good. ”
This head of the Bai family looked at a loss.
But Lu Xu pondered for a while, and then said calmly:
"Don't worry about the head of the Bai family, the other party has revealed his identity. ”
Bai Yingtian shook his head and said, "No, by the way, according to the little girl's maid Ling'er, it seems that I heard the other party say something about Kuijia Village in Southern Xinjiang." ”
"Nanjiang?, could it be that she is a person who refines corpses?" Lu Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said secretly: "Ling'er, is this girl okay?"
"Uh...... Immortal Master Lu, you know Ling'er. Bai Yingtian was shocked when he heard this, and said suspiciously.
"Hehe, in fact, I still have some relationship with your Bai family, and I met Bai Song once a few years ago, and I ...... at that time" Lu Xu smiled and said.
"Oh, it turns out that the little girl was killed, and it was Lu Xianshi who helped. Bai Yingtian said in astonishment, he didn't expect that the strange person in his daughter's mouth a few years ago turned out to be the Lu Immortal Master in front of him.
"Hehe, it's just the right time, by the way, let's go and see Ling Qianjin first. Lu Xu said with a slight smile.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xu came out of the secret room with Bai Yingtian and reverted back to the image of a sour scholar.
And the head of the Bai family, who returned to the living room, immediately ordered in front of the eldest lady to let people clean up a clean residence in the back house, so that this Bai Shinephew could live in the Bai Mansion.
On the surface, the reason is grandiose, he Bai Yingtian wants to cultivate this junior well, in order to repay the great kindness of his ancestors back then.
Seeing this, the eldest lady opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything against it!
She was very scheming and heard it very wisely, Bai Yingtian had already made a decision, and she would not allow others to refute it at all. And based on her feelings, there must be a bit of a cat between this Bai Xian's nephew and her husband.
But since Bai Yingtian didn't tell her the details, she naturally wouldn't do anything to annoy her and fall out of favor.
However, she had some whimsical guesses that her husband was so solemn to this white nephew, it could be that he was an illegitimate child left by flowers and grass outside when he was young. Otherwise, how could there be such a loss of color when reading the letter, and such enthusiasm later.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was like this, and she felt a little unhappy. But he still made a casual expression on his face, and became more and more cordial to Lu Xu.
In this way, Bai Yingtian found an excuse to break away from the eldest lady, and then took Lu Xu to Bai Feifei's boudoir.
This boudoir is fresh and elegant, as soon as the door is opened, a petite and delicate girl with a small flower braid comes out, it is Bai Ling'er.
"Sir. Bai Ling'er obediently saluted Bai Yingtian, and then looked at the person behind the master, and couldn't help but be shocked at a glance, his face was full of disbelief, a pair of big eyes stared round, and exclaimed: "Brother Lu, it's you, why are you ...... here" After a series of questions, seeing the dissatisfied look of the old man next to him, he realized that he was rude, but he still looked at Lu Xu who suddenly appeared in surprise.
"Hehe, Ling'er, long time no see. Lu Xu smiled slightly, looking at Ling'er's delicate appearance, I haven't seen her for a few years, the little girl has grown up, although she is still petite, but the baby fat on her face has gradually disappeared. However, the pair of big murder weapons on the chest are even more round and fruitful, and people can't help but want to stretch out their hands to measure the size.
"Virtuous nephew, please come here. Bai Yingtian then guided Lu Xu to Bai Feifei's bed.
"Virtuous nephew?" Bai Ling'er's eyes widened, and her face was full of doubts, when did Brother Lu become a relative of the master.
Lu Xu walked to the side of the bed and looked at the pale sleeping beauty on the bed, with curved willow eyebrows, a small nose, and a small cherry mouth without a trace of blood at the moment. Lu Xu's divine sense swept over his body, his face became ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "What a vicious method, he actually took away a wisp of Miss Bai's soul. ”
"What, nephew, you said that Feifei's soul was taken away, is she unconscious because of this? Hearing this, Bai Yingtian's face changed greatly. Bai Ling'er also turned pale when she heard it, she had seen Lu Xu's power, and she trusted Lu Xu the most in her little heart.
"No, uncle, it wouldn't be a problem for that person to only take a wisp of soul, I'm afraid he will come to Miss Bai again with this wisp of soul in the future. It's just that that person may have failed to fix Miss Bai's soul properly because of the urgency of time, causing her soul to go missing, so she fell unconscious. Lu Xu shook his head and said.
"Well, nephew, how is this to be. Bai Yingtian said eagerly.
"It's okay, three days later, it will be the time when the yin qi is at its strongest, and then I will recall Miss Bai's soul. Lu Xu looked at the moonlight outside.
"Okay, good, if there's anything you need to prepare, just say. Bai Yingtian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
"There's no rush now, only one of Miss Bai's hair will be needed then. Lu Xu smiled.
Lu Xu chatted with Bai Ling'er for a few more words, and then returned to the accommodation arranged for him by Bai Yingtian.
This time, the face of the subordinate who led the way was no longer the rigid expression when he came, but a smile on his face, and he kept calling him "Young Master Bai" one by one!
Then the subordinate took Han Luxu and turned a few times along the path of the back house, and arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.
The environment here is elegant and exquisite, quiet and abnormal, which made Lu Xu nod secretly. I think it's very satisfying.
It seems that Bai Yingtian also took the trouble to choose a good place for him to live.
"Young Master Bai, this is your residence! this is the best courtyard in the Bai Mansion. Usually, if it weren't for the honored guests that the lord valued, he wouldn't let people live in it at all!" After the subordinate led Lu Xu into the courtyard, he explained to Lu Xu with some stammering.
Lu Xu nodded, looking around with interest.
