Chengtian Ba ​​Suo

At this time, the door was opened again, and the man came out with a smile, and invited us in: Master is in a good mood today, so you two have been waiting for a long time. 【 】

The old Taoist cupped his hands at him for the third time, raised his legs and walked in.When I passed by that person, I also wanted to arch my hands like the old Taoist priest, but I felt awkward when I raised my hand, so I simply nodded at him with a smile, and then I shrank my neck and went in.The man didn't seem to care about these etiquettes, and vaguely heard him say: This young man is really interesting.

With the creaking sound of the door being closed, Lao Dao and I walked out of the corridor.From the outside, I don't think there is anything, but after entering, I find that there is something wrong.

This place is like the mansion of the ancient dignitaries, with an open space in the middle, which is regarded as a courtyard.A few ordinary flowers and plants stand against the wind, complementing the surrounding wooden buildings.

The sun at noon just shrouded the courtyard.The sun swayed down, making people feel warm all over.

And in the middle of the yard, on a deck chair, nestled a man with beard and hair more than a foot long, as white as frost.His face is covered with age spots, his wrinkles are like bark folds, his hands are resting on his abdomen, his eyes are slightly closed as if he is resting.Beside him, sitting on a wooden chair was an old man with half-white hair and about the same age as the law enforcement elders of the Zhou family.The old man respectfully picked up a copper pot from the small round wooden table in front of him, poured out a cup of green tea and handed it over.

The old man on the rocking chair reached out to take it but did not drink it. The old man beside him looked at us, smiled and said to the old Taoist priest: This is the contemporary of the Five Elements...

The disappearance of my junior brother is a mystery and has not yet been established.The old Taoist interrupted the old man.

I see.I remember that when I met you, I was still a kid, but now I have achieved something.The old man nodded and restrained his smile slightly.

Little achievements, not worth mentioning.The old Taoist shook his head and said, with a modest tone: After decades, the seniors still have the same demeanor.

Hehe, the dull kid back then can speak now.The old man laughed twice: "However, if you come here today, I'm afraid you didn't come to catch up with me."

Seniors have sharp eyes.The old Taoist clasped his hands and bowed slightly: I wanted to kill a person, but I was blocked by the three veins of the celestial corpse.I came here today because I want to ask the old man to come out to help.

Afterwards, Lao Dao took out the century-old ginseng and two cans of farm grain wine from his sleeve and put them on the ground.

The old man on the chair didn't look sideways, just looked at the old Taoist priest with a smile: Indeed, the wood has become a big eagle now, ah, haha...

But... the old man stopped laughing, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, and said: Now the master is old and doesn't care about worldly affairs anymore.And I'm not young anymore, so I should be more filial to my master, you'd better ask someone else for this matter.

Faced with such a direct rejection, the old man's expression did not change much.He took a step back, pulled my sleeve and pushed me out: he is the descendant of Basuo.

oh?The old man looked at me with a little smile on his face: Are you the descendant of Basuo's generation?

Although the old man is very kind and always smiling, but for some reason, I am more afraid of seeing him than seeing the old man.The old man tugged my sleeve slightly, and I knew what he was thinking, so I bit the bullet and said: Hello, old man, I am from Basuo.

Hehe... The old man laughed: I met your grandfather once before. If it weren't for him, Master and I would have been in danger back then.

My grandpa... I was stunned. The old man and the strange man on the recliner in front of me knew my grandpa?And judging by what he meant, my grandfather saved both of them back then.

It happened a long time ago, decades ago, before even your mother was born.With your grandfather's strange temper, he would never tell you these things.said the old man.

What he said surprised me even more than before.

Because he has a saying: Decades ago, even your mother was not born at that time.

What this means is that my grandpa's next generation is my mother, not my father! ?

I always thought that the three generations of the family were single-handed, and they were all male.Grandpa and father never explained this, the identity and things of mother, they rarely mentioned.Especially grandpa, every time his mother was mentioned, he would lose his temper. In the end, mother's affairs had become a taboo topic in the family.

Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him actually said that the mother is the blood of Ba Suo.Moreover, in his mouth, the ordinary grandpa has become a master.

I felt before that there are many secrets hidden in the Basuo lineage.My family is very mysterious, and I care surprisingly much about many people, as if possessed by a demon.

Now that I have learned the old things from the old people, I feel that there are too many secrets in the family that I don't understand.

Maybe I should go back to my hometown to have a look after what happened with Karmu is over.

Just as I was thinking about family matters, an old voice came from my ear: Since the successor of Basuo has come, let me put this matter aside for now, and let me think about it.Nianxi, you can greet them.

I looked up, and it turned out that the old man who had been lying on the rocking chair spoke.Although he didn't open his eyes, there was an invisible power in his speech that made people feel awe.

The man he called Nianxi was the man who opened the door for us.He laughed and waved his hand to make a false pretense at us: You two can go to the guest room with me to rest first.

The old man nodded and took me along.His movements were crisp and quick, perhaps he understood that it was useless to talk more in front of these two people.If a person agrees, he agrees, and if he does not agree, he does not agree.

Not long after the three of us walked along the corridor, the man opened a door and said with a smile: This is the guest room, you can feel free to let me know what you need.

The old Taoist stepped in, and I rubbed my stomach to the side of the man, and asked: "Uh...uh, Nianxi...

Nianxi is my nickname, which was chosen by my master.He laughed: My name is Zongxu, Yang Zongxu.Not much older than you, just call me Brother Yang.

Uh, Brother Yang... Where is your toilet?I asked with a sneer, it turns out that Nianxi is a nickname, no wonder it sounds so awkward.

Yang Zongxu pointed to the end of the corridor: that's it, there are a lot of papers, but it's just a pit, I don't know if you are used to it.

It's okay, as long as it works.I covered my stomach and smiled at him, then ran to the toilet.I don't know if the snacks just now were not clean, or if I ate greasy things on the mountain every day and suddenly ate light things and my appetite became uncomfortable.

The toilet here is not too big, it is a pit made of cement, and there is a plastic box on the wall with a roll of paper inside.I squatted inside for more than half an hour before I came out, and my legs were almost numb.

When I came out, I felt an unpleasant smell all over my body.

At this time, I heard someone say: Hey, boy, boy...

I turned my head and saw that the old man sitting on the wooden chair was smiling at me.

This is a strange person that even old Taoist priests respect. Although I know the [-] ropeway method and have preliminary physical strength, for such a person, I am afraid that I am not as good as a child.

Therefore, when I saw the old man shouting, I quickly ran over: old man, are you calling me?

Hehe, don't be so cautious. In terms of seniority, I'm younger than your grandfather, so it's good to be your uncle.The old man smiled kindly.

Uh...Hello Uncle...I stammered a bit.

Hehehe... The old man laughed again: I see that you are nervous.Come, come, here is a chair, sit down and let's chat.

The old man said he was going to get the chair, I dared not let him do it, so I quickly moved it over and sat on it.Seeing me sitting down, the old man smiled and said: "Looking at your appearance, you are about the same age as me and Master at that time, haha, isn't it, Master."

He turned his head to look at the old man in the rocking chair as he spoke, but his words fell into the sea like mud, and he didn't get the slightest response.The old man laughed and turned to look at me: But you are much smarter than me, and you have a higher starting point. After all, you are the descendant of Basuo.

In fact, I can only be considered an ordinary person. I didn't even know that I was from Basuo when I came out with the old Taoist... uh, that senior.I'm being honest.

oh?The old man raised his eyebrows: Didn't your grandfather tell you these things?

No.

What is this old man thinking? He is even weirder than my master.The old man frowned and said.

snort.A deep voice came from beside him, and the old man laughed loudly: I thought Master, you old man really fell asleep.

The old man on the rocking chair only snorted, but didn't make any more noise.But the old man on the wooden chair slapped his thighs and laughed loudly. I was next to him, and this was called a twitch. Did he just laugh along with him?Still don't laugh?Laugh, a little disrespectful to the old man, don't laugh, a little disobedient to the master... just die.

The old man laughed for a while and then stopped: Haha, I didn't scare you...

No, no... Scared... Are you...?

I was so nervous that I couldn't even finish my sentence. When I said a word, I suddenly felt that half of my face was burning.

The old man laughed a few more times, and said: Not bad, not bad, he has a much better temper than your grandfather, ha ha, when I saw him back then, he kept a straight face all day long, as if someone owed him money.But having said that, no matter how weird your grandfather's temper is, he wouldn't even dare to break the inheritance.Basuo's pulse has been famous for thousands of years, and with his old-fashioned temperament, he definitely wouldn't dare.

I don't know about this either.Speaking of grandpa, my words went a lot smoother: when grandpa passed away, my father burned many things, and he never told me anything related to Basuo.

oh! ?burnt?The old man frowned immediately: Didn't you leave any?
