Jianghu Xiaobai Chapter 27 Keqing Lan Jushi (Happy New Year)
Lei Luo helped Bai Muling out of Huang Zhenren's residence, walked across the small lake, and then came to a quiet path.
"It's okay, you don't need to hold me," Bai Muling suddenly whispered to Lei Luo, and then she straightened up and rubbed her forehead with her hand.
In fact, she didn't drink much alcohol at all, and this appearance was all pretended, in order to guard against that Huang Zhenren, after all, the other party's reputation was not very good.
"Mademoiselle, it's a lot, I saw that you drank so much, and I thought you really wanted to get drunk," Lei Luo quipped.
However, he could see that Bai Muling was just a false and wronged snake with that Huang Zhenren, and he was only pretending to be drunk, so he teased.
"I'll take the antidote medicine in advance, okay, I'll be here before, let's go to the next place," Bai Muling heard Lei Luo's ridicule, he just replied lightly to resolve the embarrassment, and at the same time took Lei Luo and walked in the other direction.
When the two of them came to the next place, Lei Luo looked at a strange pavilion in front of him in disbelief, but he didn't expect that there was an abandoned place in a white mansion in Nuoda, and this place was the same as Huang Zhenren's pavilion, but it had been abandoned for a long time.
The pond in the landscape lake has dried up, the flowers and plants in front of the pavilion have also died, and the gate of the pavilion has been dilapidated and scattered on the side, and the whole house is full of cobwebs and dust, which is quite depressed.
"This pavilion has been abandoned for more than three years, and since Lan Keqing left, there has been no one living here, so naturally no one has cleaned it," as if seeing Lei Luo's question, Bai Muling explained.
I don't know why, when this woman said Lan Keqing, there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and that feeling was as if the other party was her relative.
"Then didn't the Bai family give this courtyard to other guests to live in?" asked Lei Luo.
It stands to reason that such a good courtyard can't be abandoned like this, but the Bai family is rich and rich, so it is estimated that they don't care about this courtyard.
"Do you think that the Bai family's guest elders can be anyone, the dedication and return of several generations of the Nuo Da Bai family, there are only two guest elders, Lan Jushi has been in the Bai family for more than 20 years, and Huang Zhenren has lived in the Bai family for more than 50 years, if it weren't for the fact that my father is familiar with Lan Jushi, and the family has spent a lot of financial resources to invite him, Lan Jushi will not serve as a guest elder in the Bai family, even if they are respected senior masters on the rivers and lakes, they are never qualified to be the guest secretary of our Bai family," Bai Muling explained, and in the end, there was even a sense of arrogance.
This made Lei Luo curious, this Huang Zhenren didn't look like a senior in the rivers and lakes, although he knew that this person might not be simple, but what kind of ability did they have to make the Bai family in Lijiang County take a fancy to him and treat him as a guest, with this curiosity, he followed Bai Muling into this deserted courtyard.
Walking into this manor, you can feel the difference between this Lan Jushi and Huang Zhenren, only to see that the first floor is vaguely visible is a large living room, but next to the living room, there are more than a dozen wooden cabinets arranged in an orderly manner, and the wooden shelves of the cabinets are full of classic books and books.
However, these books have traces of being rummaged through, and some of them are scattered on the ground, and the further he goes, Lei Luo also smells a bitter smell of Chinese medicine, which seems to be heavier the closer to the hall, which makes him sigh, this Lan Jushi and Huang Zhenren seem to be studying the art of disambiguation.
An incense burner was placed on the main table in the hall on the first floor, and Bai Muling was lighting incense at the moment, it seemed that he was preparing to worship someone, but he didn't know who this Lan Jushi was, so he happened to come and take a look.
When Lei Luo walked in and took a look, he found that on the wall above the incense burner, there was a portrait of a person, the figure in this painting was wearing a blue robe, with a ruddy complexion, a solemn expression, with three feet of black hair, standing with his hands behind his back, although it was only a painting, but the person in this painting looked really powerful.
However, when he approached and took a closer look, he suddenly became shocked, because he saw a small brown cloth bag pinned to the waist of the person in the painting, this cloth bag was wrapped around the belt with a ribbon, fortunately, Bai Muling was kneeling in front of the portrait at the moment, and there was no way to see Lei Luo's face at this time, otherwise with the knowledge of this young lady of the Bai family, he would definitely be able to see that something was wrong.
"Could it be that the person in that ice cube is this Blue Monk?" a flood of memories flooded up from Lei Luo's mind.
The pit in the depths of Monkey Mountain, the white giant tiger in the pit, the huge ice block several meters high, and the dried corpse in the ice block that was absorbed by the black crystal qi and blood, and the most important thing is the small cloth bag and blue robe on the body of the dried corpse.
"That dry corpse should be this Lan Jushi, but at that time, at the moment when Heijing broke the ice, he vaguely heard the scream of a middle-aged man, could it be that Lan Jushi is not dead, did he kill him?" Lei Luo's face changed several times at this time, and then he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, let out a sigh, adjusted back to what he thought was a normal complexion, and stood respectfully behind Bai Muling.
After almost half an hour, Bai Muling also finished worshipping, got up and walked to the bookcase next to the hall, and then quietly looked at the bookshelves and books scattered on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Miss, I don't know if the person in the painting you worship is the owner of this place, the Bai family's guest Qing Lan Jushi," Lei Luo thought about it and decided to ask to confirm the situation.
"Well, yes, the person in the painting is Lan Jushi, my father's friend before his death, but the two have passed away one after another, and I will come to pay my respects once a month," Bai Muling was slightly stunned, and said lightly after a while, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
Lei Luo didn't look like she was pretending, it seemed that this Lan Jushi and her father really knew each other, and he estimated Bai Mu Ling quite well.
"Since this courtyard is the property of the Bai family, why don't you come and clean it," he asked, looking at the dust and books on the floor.
The identity of the Lan Jushi was confirmed, and then he was ready to divert the topic, after all, he had killed the Lan Jushi with his own hands.
"These are what the Bai family made when they searched this residence, Lan Jushi broke into the Bai family's treasure house three years ago, and escaped from the Bai family after his whereabouts were exposed, the family searched the entire Lijiang County in order to find him, and the mansion here was taken care of, and the head of the family was furious after not finding anyone for a long time, and blocked this place, and it became like this!"
"But this place has been rummaged for I don't know how many times, and if I can find a clue, I would have found it a long time ago, but I'm afraid that the head of the family will order to rummage through it on a whim one day, and it will be a pure waste of energy to clean it," Bai Muling explained indifferently, and when he mentioned that Lan Jushi broke into the Bai family's treasure house at night, he showed a wry smile.
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't think that the Bai family's guest would steal any treasure troves, after all, those things were not eye-catching treasures to them.
"Actually, what I've always wanted to ask is, whether it's this Lan Jushi or Huang Zhenren, they don't look like martial arts masters, why can they be favored by the Bai family and become an Elder of Keqing," Lei Luo finally asked this question in his heart.
They can't be immortals, but that Huang Zhenren doesn't look like a martial arts master, why can he be favored by the Bai family.
"You can't touch this for the time being, you can understand that Huang Zhenren and Lan Jushi are both proficient in the art of disguising the yellow," Bai Muling thought for a moment before explaining.
Qi Huang Zhishu, looking at the books scattered all over the ground, most of them are books on health pharmacology and herbal cultivation, Lei Luo walked into the bookshelf, picked them up one by one and then looked through them.
Seeing Lei Luo's behavior like this, Bai Muling was curious, but this place had been searched by the Bai family many times, so he naturally let Lei Luo look through it.
Lei Luo looked through these books, in fact, he just wanted to find clues about the pouch that he couldn't open, but when he saw the content of these books, all of them were about pharmacology, and the content was broad and profound, covering a wide range, which made him a little curious.
It can be said that any book here is the research of doctors and doctors outside the city for decades, and when you walk the rivers and lakes, you must always be on guard against these poisons, injuries and diseases, etc., so I simply took a few of these books and prepared to take them back to study.
"These books are placed here, they are also tyrannical things, if you want to read them, you can take them all, the people of the Bai family have checked every book, there is no problem, you just say to the outside world that I want to read these books," Bai Muling saw that Lei Luo was more obsessed with these books, and said with a boat.
If there was a problem with these books, they would have been found out a long time ago, and since Lei Luo likes it, he just sent a favor out, so he could be regarded as wooing his own guard.
"In that case, then thank you, Miss," Lei Luo said with a fist in thanks.
After he finished speaking, he really selected a few books and classics on the health care of the human body's meridians, and planned to take them back to study them.
"These books are here, you can come and pick them up at any time, since we have finished our business, let's go back," Bai Mu Ling saw that it was getting late, and he had the intention of leaving, and Lei Luo naturally cooperated.
Glancing back at the portrait of the Lan Jushi again, Lei Luo was quite curious about the two guests of the Bai family, and at the same time, he was also a little curious about why this Lan Jushi was able to freeze himself with ice cubes.
Curiosity is curiosity, and he plans to move all these books to his room to look through them, and learn about this meridian pharmacology by the way.
After thinking of this, he and Bai Muling strode out of this courtyard, and when they walked to the side of the landscape lake in front of the courtyard, Bai Muling turned around and bowed again, and then left this place with Lei Luo one after another.
