Cultivation of Immortals: Village Pen Fairy

"The son is really smart."

Bai Chen winked at Zhang Jun, who took the rein from his hand and led the horse back to the stable.

"There are a lot of people here, if you don't mind, we can change to a quieter place."

Gong Yilin nodded, "That's fine."

The two walked out of the martial arts field side by side, and stepped onto a secluded path in a blink of an eye. There was a small pavilion in front of it, shaped like a crescent moon, with a unique style.

"The adoptive father nominated it the Moon-Treading Pavilion."

"Tayue," Gongyilin said, "The name is really domineering."

"Come here on the moon, and enjoy yourself alone." Bai Chen walked towards the pavilion, "It is probably a portrayal of the life of the righteous father."

Gong Yilin and him sat on both sides, "I may need the help of your son for one thing."

Bai Chen, "Sir, please tell me."

Gongyilin pursed her lower lip, "I need my son to take me to meet someone."

Bai Chen was startled, thinking that he was probably referring to his adoptive father. After all, many people wanted to enter the palace to be a disciple. After thinking about it, he still said: "Except for today's day, other people can naturally."

Gong Yilin, "Really?"

Bai Chen smiled and said, "A promise is a thousand dollars."

Hearing the promise, Gong Yilin was also unambiguous, and directly expressed his thoughts.

……

On the way back, there was only Baichen alone, and Gongyilin claimed that he was greedy for the beautiful scenery and wanted to sit quietly in the pavilion for a while.

Bai Chen was no longer calm when he just came, his brows were tightly furrowed, there were servants passing by the roadside, and they all paid no attention to their salutes.

Sighing softly, and looking up at the sky with his forehead raised, Bai Chen murmured helplessly: "I knew I would never agree no matter what."

Promises come first, and with his character, it is impossible to renege on them.

When Bai Chen was frowning, Gong Yilin was leaning on the railing with a calm expression on his face.

"You really dare to say it." The voice of the little bird rang in his head, "No matter how good Baichen is, he will worry about you when he meets you."

"It's always worth a fight," Gong Yilin picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. The surface of the lake covered with a thin layer of ice was broken and rippled. "Look at the surface of the lake, it looks so frozen because it is frozen. It is peaceful and peaceful, but it only needs a small gravel to cause cracks, even if the gravel is like this, what if I smashed down a huge boulder?"

His posture was languid and his tone was flat, but Qinghe looked at this scene, but once again thought of the spiritual thought left by the elegant scholar: Gongyilin, variables, will cause catastrophe in the future.

Agitating the wind and rain, killing people in ten steps, Gongyilin obviously has this ability, Qinghe looked at his seemingly weak body, and said slowly:

"The road ahead is bumpy, bloody and rainy, what should I do?" The cold voice came without warning this time without using divine sense to communicate.

Gongyilin turned around, eyebrows like spring mountains, "I will walk with you in the wind and rain." While speaking, his eyes flicked to the distance, "Take Tianyuan as an example, at least he has received a lot of benefits at the beginning. If Tianyuan encounters a catastrophe, I will definitely work with you through this difficult time.”

His eyes were firm, because his face was still a little pale because of the blood loss before, Qinghe looked at him, thinking that this person would be better off for once, if there is a catastrophe in the future, he will do his best to block it.

……

Two skilled guards stood guard at the door, and when they saw Bai Chen, they bowed their heads and saluted, "My lord."

Bai Chen nodded, "Is foster father here?"

"My lord is discussing something with Mr. Chen, does your son want...?"

Bai Chen nodded.

"This subordinate will report now."

"Let him in." Just then, a deep voice came from inside.

Mr. Chen is in the second rank, and he has a good friendship with Bai Mo. It was Mr. Chen who stood firmly by Bai Mo's side more than ten years ago and helped him to support the young emperor.

He looked at Bian Feichen with satisfied eyes, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the prince is even more extraordinary." Back then, the princess took away the young prince, which was a big blow to Bai Mo. Now, seeing that the child adopted by a friend is so outstanding, Mr. Chen I am really pleased for him.

"Master Chen is absurd." Facing Mr. Chen, Bai Chen also respected him very much.

"You don't have to be humble, you are called the god of war at a young age. I am afraid that only your son can do it in this world. It is a pity that I am a literati. I guess I can only work with the pen and ink in my life." I have always wanted to join the army, but unfortunately my family disagreed with anything.

Bai Chen knew the regret in Mr. Chen's heart, so he wisely didn't answer.

"Chen'er still needs to hone a lot," Bai Mo looked at Bai Chen, "I came here in such a hurry, but what's the important thing?"

Bai Chen glanced at Master Chen, but didn't speak.

"Master Chen and I have a deep personal relationship, you can just say it directly."

After a brief hesitation, Bai Chen finally said, "I want to bring someone to visit..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Chen said cheerfully: "But you have a girl you like, and you want us to check it out for you?"

Hearing this, Bai Mo's expression remained unchanged, but there was a subtle chill in his eyes, "Is it true what Mr. Chen said?"

"Of course not. My foster father said that a man with ambition should start a career first and then a family. Now that the border is worrying, how could I get married at this border?"

"As long as you remember," Bai Mo's tone was unusually soft.

"Actually, I want to take this person to visit a relative."

"Relatives?" Bai Mo frowned slightly, and the relatives of the Bai family naturally referred to the royal relatives, "You have always had a good eye for people, so I think this person will not be too bad. Now that you have decided, just take him to see you." .”

Bai Chen felt relieved, "Thank you foster father."

After Bai Chen left, Lord Chen said with a smile, "This kid is very polite. He brought his friends to see someone and he didn't forget to report to you."

"There's something strange," Bai Mo said, "If he just recommended someone, he wouldn't come to ask for my permission... Ah Si."

Before the words were finished, a man in black appeared in the room out of nowhere, "Go and see who Chen'er is going to visit."

"Yes."

……

Gong Yilin sat in the Moon Pavilion for a long time, saw Bai Chen approaching from a distance, got up and walked forward, "Did the lord agree?"

Bai Chen nodded with a wry smile, "I just vaguely said that I would take you to meet a relative, and the adoptive father nodded in agreement."

Gongyilin looked at the black shadow behind the tree, "I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it for long."

Bai Chen sighed, "One step counts as one step."

What Bai Chen wants to take him to is not anywhere else, but the most fortified and most important place in the entire palace: the ancestral hall.

There are a pair of stone lions on the stone steps and the head of the railing, and the door gods are painted on the gate. They are like guardians, guarding this place where the glory of the tribe is blooming.

Gong Yilin stood at the door, "Thank you very much."

Bai Chen waved his hand, "If you said at the beginning that the people you want to meet are the ancestors, I would not agree with anything. The ancestral hall is usually only opened when offering sacrifices to the ancestors, and I must enter with you."

"It's natural."

A smell of incense ash can be vaguely smelled inside the door. The floor is exquisitely carved stone railings, and the tablets of Bai's ancestors are arranged in an orderly manner right in front.

Bai Chen looked at the center, bowed first, and then said: "This is the tablet of the ancestors of the Bai family. The ancestors were one of the four great heroes in the founding of Canglan, and later they were crowned kings."

Gong Yilin followed and bowed respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Bai."

The corner of Bai Chen's eyes twitched, "The one next to him is the ancestor's eldest son, who is also a general with great military exploits."

Gong Yilin bowed again, "Hello, Second Master Bai."

Bai Chen rubbed between his brows, "There's no need to worship one by one."

Gongyilin straightened up, "Why is there an empty memorial tablet next to the ancestors of the Bai family?"

Bai Chen shook his head, "This is what our ancestors meant. As for the reason, our ancestors have been buried in history for generations."

Gongyilin thought about it, "Canglan's state religion is Buddhism, does the palace also have a Buddhist hall?"

"Of course." Bai Chen said: "But even I can't step into the Buddhist hall easily. If Mister wants to go, I'm afraid I can't."

Gongyilin smiled, "I'm just asking casually."

After Baichen introduced the history of the Bai family to Gong Yilin, Ah Si also went back to report, "Go back to the prince, the son is indeed bringing a newcomer from the house to visit his relatives."

Bai Mo, "Who did you go to see?"

Ah Si is a straightforward man, and he replied honestly: "Your ancestor."

"……What did you say?"

The upright Ah Si repeated: "Your ancestor."

As secret guards, they need to receive strict training since childhood. They are different from the spies sent out. Compared with a delicate heart that is good at adapting to changes, the focus of training is on loyalty and skills. Bai Mo looked at the calm A Fourth, I secretly decided in my heart that even if it is the dark guard training, it is necessary to add a culture class.

"They went to the ancestral hall?"

Ah Si nodded, "The prince introduced the ancestors of the Bai family to the man named Gong Yilin, and that man was also extremely polite, bowing and worshiping each other, a bit like recognizing his ancestors."

The leader of the dark guard hiding in the corner almost cried when he heard this sentence. God knows that since he was 14 years old, he has been born and died again and again. The words used were really about to cry, and I prayed in my heart that the prince would read it for the sake of his life and death for many years, and never take his anger on this little leader.

Bai Mo took a deep look at Ah Si, "Who are you in charge of training?"

The leader in the dark felt his heart skip a beat, thinking that this time it would be over.

"The subordinates were personally trained by Master Lin Long."

Bai Mo, "From tomorrow, let your leader take you to the school to report."

"Yes." As a secret guard, no matter what the master says, he must obey.

The leader in the dark secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he only went to the school for two days of training. Although the prince is usually strict and cold-blooded, except for treating traitors, he is quite merciful.

……

When leaving the ancestral hall, Gong Yilin invited, "How about having a drink together at night?"

"It'll be fine the next day," Bai Chen said, "I'm afraid the adoptive father already knows about this, so I'm going to make an apology first."

Gong Yilin, "I have a way to make the prince stop worrying about this matter."

Bai Chen's heart moved, "Can you tell me?"

"Apologize for the crime."

Bai Chen frowned, "This..."

Gong Yilin smiled and said, "Believe me, if you don't succeed, I won't take any of the 1000 taels of gold you lost before, and I will give you another 1000 taels of gold instead."

Seeing his determined expression, Bai Chen said, "Forget it, I'll try it."

After he left, the little bird on his shoulder transmitted a voice to Gong Yilin, "You have tried everything to come to the ancestral hall, and you must have an idea."

"A conjecture has been confirmed," Gongyilin said while walking, "It is almost impossible for Bai Mo to gain the approval of the undead saint clan with a mortal body, and to have half an undead saint body, unless..."

"He has a deep connection with the undead saints," Xiao Quiniao continued, "Don't you think that empty tablet is related to the undead saints?"

"Nine times out of ten. I heard a secret story many years ago. There was a woman from the Immortal Saint Clan who fell in love with a mortal and did not hesitate to destroy her body. If this is true, most of the ancestors of the Bai family married this woman. "Gongyilin paused, "What do you see me doing?"

"How long have you lived?"

Gongyilin pretended to be angry, "It's just what I heard, maybe it's just someone casually said a hundred years ago, and I happened to keep it in my heart."

"A hundred years ago?"

Gongyilin: ...

I have to say that it is very interesting to watch Gongyilin deflate, and the fun brought by it for a moment is even not much different from Soaring Heaven and Earth.

"But there's one thing I'm afraid you're going to miscalculate."

Gong Yilin said firmly, "It is impossible for me to miscalculate."

"If you ask Bai Chen to take the blame, I'm afraid it won't help him at all. Bitter tricks are no surprise to an iron-blooded prince."

Gong Yilin smiled mysteriously, "You don't understand this. Pleading guilty is just a formality. Of course it won't work for others, and it may even be counterproductive, but if he goes, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"What do you mean?"

Gong Yilin didn't play charades, and said directly: "The point is not the thorns, but that he went shirtless."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Gong Yilin: Imagine, when your beloved comes to the door, revealing the vest line, abdominal muscles, and traces of blood behind him, all these are intertwined, how exciting it is!

Qinghe: ...
