Bai Gu had just put away the teacups and kettles when he heard a knock on the door.
Bai Gu immediately frowned.
Who the hell is that? Is there gold or treasures in my house? Everyone is running towards me!
They are all sick, right?
Just when Bai Gu was about to blurt out a lot of swear words, a soft female voice sounded, "Xiao Bai, are you in the house? I am He Yan. I want to take Xiao Xiao to eat roasted sweet potatoes, is that okay?"
So that's it.
Bai Gu took a deep breath, then looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was pretending not to hear He Yan's words on the bed, deliberately suppressing his impulsiveness and playing with a puppet with his head down, and couldn't help but laugh: "A guest is here, why don't you open the door? "
"Oh? Oh! Okay!" Bai Xiaoxiao immediately dropped the monkey puppet and jumped towards the door.
"Sister He!" As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao opened the door, he saw the cute He Yan standing at the door with a smile on his face, and Bai Xiaoxiao also started to laugh.
He Yan reached out and rubbed Bai's little head, squinting and smiling, "Xiaoxiao, sister He will take you out to play, okay?"
When Bai Xiaoxiao heard the words "roasted sweet potatoes", he swallowed a gulp of saliva, but still endured the greed in his stomach and timidly said: "Sister He, you have to tell my brother about this, and I can only go out if he agrees." .”
"You are so well-behaved, my sister likes you very much!" He Yan smiled and pinched Bai's little face, then looked at Bai Gu standing in the room, "Xiao Bai, I want to borrow Xiao Xiao for an afternoon. , what do you think of taking her shopping?"
Bai Gu nodded, "I don't think it's good."
He Yan asked doubtfully: "Then why are you nodding?"
"Because I thought of a better idea."
"tell me the story."
"Take me with you. Let's go together. We can also go directly to the roasted sweet potato stall from last time. It can save a lot of time."
He Yan became happy when he heard this, "If you want to play with me, just say no. It scares me to death to put on such a serious look."
Bai Gu also smiled and said, "It's too boring to stay in the house all day. You have to find opportunities to go out for a walk. Otherwise, people will get moldy after a long time."
"I originally thought that the Sword Immortal disciples are like heroes and phoenixes among the people, and they will practice very hard, but I didn't expect that they are just like us ordinary people, thinking about having fun every day."
"Sword Immortal disciples are human beings too. Besides, I'm only seventeen years old. It's normal to be a little playful."
He Yan glanced at Bai Gu, smiled, and did not answer the question.
Seventeen-year-old Sword Immortal disciples are rare, but not rare either.
A disciple of the Sword Immortal who is just so... not strong really has little hope.
In addition, Bai Gu's usual clothes were so unkempt and his appearance was a bit sloppy. He Yan asked herself, after decades of practice, this was the first time she had seen such a disciple of the Sword Immortal.
I'm afraid there are people like Bai Gu in the world, you can count them on two hands, right?
But He Yan didn't care about this.
After all, there is Hua Xie here as a foil. No matter how bad Bai Gu is, he is still a disciple of the Sword Immortal. The growth space is not comparable to that of Hua Xie. He may change his appearance in the future.
No matter how useless a disciple of the Sword Immortal is, he still has a Master of the Sword Immortal on his head. Even though this swordsman is a wild cultivator, his identity is aloof.
There are so many swordsmen in the world, and if there is one among ten thousand people who can be called a swordsman, it is a blessing from heaven. And if you want to reach the realm of Sword Immortal, you must be at least in the sixth realm of the Tao Domain to be qualified to bear the name of Sword Immortal.
In the Dao realm, he is a strong man with half a foot in the sky. If he establishes a sect, he will be a powerful force that suppresses one party. His vision is like a flying swallow, overlooking all living beings in the sky.
As for strength?
If a sword can't cut you in half, then that swordsman didn't sharpen his sword when he went out today.
With such a swordsman as a master, you still worry about having no future?
Unless it was the short-lived Sambar Dynasty, which only lasted for two generations, and then an unlucky guy came to be the emperor who did not live up to expectations, and the great national Zuo dragon line was cut off at the last moment.
Although it is said that there are treacherous ministers who control the government, but if there is a wise and decisive monarch in power, what kind of trouble can the treacherous ministers make?
Clear them all!
The same is true for the Sword Immortal and his disciples.
He Yanjiao smiled and said: "Then let's go, go out for a walk and get some fresh air."
Bai Gu picked up the two cotton-padded clothes on the wooden stand beside the bed, put one on Bai Xiaoxiao, and then slowly put on the tattered cotton-padded clothes.
He Yan glanced at Bai Gu's cotton-padded clothes, which looked like rotten food, and quickly looked away.
Her family background was not bad since she was a child, and she has a mysophobia herself, so she would feel uncomfortable if she saw too many dirty things.
It's not directed at anyone, it's just that He Yan simply can't see dirt and shabby things in his eyes.
Bai Gu was busy arranging Bai Xiaoxiao's clothes and did not see the change in He Yan's eyes.
Bai Xiaoxiao blinked his big eyes, looked at Bai Gu, and then at He Yan, his face full of innocence.
——————
Dirt roads are laid out neatly on a wide plain, like ridges, dividing square fields.
On the outermost "field ridge", there is a thin old monk holding a wooden fish and a wooden cup, walking alone. Seen from a distance, the old monk is as small as an ant spot. To the old monk, the wide and long "field ridge" seems to never end.
But if you look down from the sky, where are the fields on this dirt road? It is clearly an endless, towering embankment!
The dam rises from the ground, and even the sea of clouds floats around its waist, like a miraculous work of nature, blocking the sea water to one side, preventing it from crossing the thunder pond.
The old monk moved slowly on the dirt road, tapping the wooden fish wooden hammer in his hand from time to time, and would also say "the sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candle".
When he was free, the old monk's lips trembled slightly as he murmured a certain verse that he knew by heart.
The sound of wooden fish hitting jade and gold resounded throughout the world.
The murmur was endless, and as soon as it came out, it was crushed in the wind.
This is an old monk and an old watchman.
Countless seawater gradually stirred up waves, lapping at the waist of the embankment, just like the laughter and play between lovers, it was neither painful nor itchy.
It's just that this seemingly light wave has killed countless people who don't know how to live or die.
Soul enlightenment realm? Casting spirit realm?
There's not even enough space between the teeth.
The old monk was walking on the other side away from the sea, not in a hurry, just walking slowly on the dirt road, tapping the wooden fish in his hand from time to time.
It seems casual, but it is, and it is not.
The road is very long, as if it will never end.
I don’t want to finish it so quickly.
——————
The three of them, Bai Gu, were sitting at a wonton stall. There were three small bowls of wontons on the table. Each of the three of them was eating a roasted sweet potato of different sizes.
The roasted sweet potato stall is right across the road, very close, so the roasted sweet potatoes in the hands of the three of them are freshly baked and very hot.
Bai Xiaoxiao lowered his head and nibbled on the roasted sweet potato, but his eyes were fixed on the bowl of wontons in front of him.
The wontons are well cooked and plump. The skin of the wontons is crystal clear but the fillings are not exposed. I also ordered sesame oil for the soup, it’s so fragrant!
Beautiful and delicious.
Bai Gu's roasted sweet potato was the largest, but now there was only a piece less than half the size of a palm.
Bai Gu blew and finished the meal in two bites.
The skins were not peeled off, so they were eaten together.
This is not wasted.
He Yan was a little shocked, "Xiaobai, this sweet potato skin seems inedible, right? It will cause gastrointestinal discomfort."
Bai Gu smiled and said, "That's it, it doesn't matter. Besides, I've always eaten like this and there has never been any problem."
He Yan said nothing more, nodded, and continued to eat the roasted sweet potatoes with a spoon.
When Bai Gu saw this way of eating for the first time, he was very surprised. However, He Yan said that this was the way of eating in her hometown, and Bai Gu was relieved.
There are thousands of kinds of life, and there are hundreds of kinds of dishes, not to mention the ways to eat them? Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, no matter what others think or say.
An idea came to Bai Gu's mind and he hesitated to speak. He could only stuff his mouth with the wontons in the bowl.
After enduring it for a long time, Bai Gu finally asked what was on his mind, "Sister He, do you want to plead for Lian Feng and let me save him?"
"Lian Feng?" He Yan chuckled, "I'm not familiar with him, why should I plead for him?"
He Yan blinked and smiled slyly, "Why, everyone else has gone to look for you, begging you to save Lian Feng?"
Bai Gu made no secret and nodded, "Of course, as soon as they left, Sister He came back. But except for Brother Hua, who is not present, there is no statement now."
"He wasn't there for such an interesting thing? It's strange."
"Brother Guan is thin-skinned, so he invited Brother Hua out before talking about this matter."
He Yan couldn't help but smile. He smiled so brightly that his whole body trembled, "I'm afraid this guy will have to die of embarrassment! Not listening to such a good thing is even worse than killing him directly."
He Yan changed the subject again, "Listening to your tone, do you have a way to save Lian Feng? That is the peak soul-swallowing realm swordsman who can break his own life sword! At this time, Lian Feng has all the meridians, energy, and Dantian acupoints in his body. They were all backfired by the sword energy, like a leaking barrel, pouring out spiritual energy every moment without stopping. In a situation like this, he could only wait for the spiritual energy in his body to drain out, and then lie on the bed. Counting the days to death. More than one doctor has come these days, but all of them are helpless and helpless. Now Lian Feng is considered a dead man. Can you think of any good way to bring him back to life? "
Bai Gu looked at the steaming wonton soup in the bowl and said slowly: "Just because I can't save it doesn't mean I can't save it."
He Yan was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
The disciple of the Sword Immortal in front of me has a Sword Immortal standing behind him!
The Sword Immortal is well-informed, and he might actually have a way to cure a self-shattered sword.
What's more, there is Mr. Wu behind Bai Gu!
Elder Wu took action, not to mention that Lian Feng was considered dead now, even if Lian Feng only had his soul left, Elder Wu could save him. As for returning to the original cultivation level, it depends on fate.
But it’s good to be alive, so why do you expect so much?
Being too greedy is not a good thing.
He Yan thought for a while, "Then it depends on whether you think this is a worthwhile thing. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not save him. It's a waste of human kindness, incense and love. Not to mention, it may also cause a lot of trouble, which is not worthwhile."
"I know about favors, but what is incense and love?"
"It means that your ancestors, sect, and family have friendship with a certain big shot. If this favor falls on you, it is called incense love. In fact, it is also a favor, but it is left to the younger generation by the older generation. It’s protected by the remaining shade. It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree!”
Bai Gu nodded, understood.
How dare He Yan think that he knew Mr. Wu because he was favored by the elder?
But to be honest, my acquaintance with Mr. Wu seems to be because of Mr. Liu Tou?
Moreover, Old Liu Tou is also Mr. Wu’s younger brother.
this……
Bai Gu's brows gradually wrinkled.
He had rushed to Black Sheep Mountain in a hurry because he was worried about Bai Xiaoxiao's hidden illness, and his relationship with Old Liu Tou was at loggerheads, so he didn't think much about the connection. Now when He Yan said it, he suddenly woke up.
Bai Gu believed it was a coincidence, but he didn't believe it entirely.
Although he has never read a book, he has been walking around the streets for so many years, and he knows some truths.
No one will be kind to you without asking for anything in return. Even your own parents will at least want you to be safe so that they can feel at ease.
As for Mr. Wu, who was kind to others, and Mr. Liu, who was sharp-tongued and heart-warming, Bai Gu couldn't feel any real closeness at all.
There wasn't much reason, it was just the intuition that had always been accurate that told Bai Gu.
Every time Mr. Wu laughs, he always makes Bai Gu feel uncomfortable, and it seems a bit hypocritical. Old Liu Tou's face is too dark and smelly to be liked.
As expected of a senior brother.
Seeing that Bai Gu's expression was not very good, He Yan thought that he had stepped on one of Bai Gu's minefields, which made him feel bad.
Just when he was about to apologize, Bai Gu straightened up his mood and face, and said calmly: "It's okay, I just thought of something that was there and not there, it's nothing."
"That's good." He Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Gu turned his head, swept the remaining sweet potato skins from Bai Xiao's snacks in front of him, kneaded them into two balls and stuffed them into his mouth one after another. He took the wonton soup and sent it down, just finishing it.
He Yan's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he felt like he was overjoyed after taking two mouthfuls of wonton soup.
This Sword Immortal disciple's temperament is really unpredictable.
Weird.
