[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

The person outside the door could only keep knocking on the door, but Shen Bailing inside the door could only smile wryly.The commotion he made has already fallen into the ears of that person, and he wants to hide at this time, lest the person outside the door will not follow him.In desperation, he had no choice but to bend down to pick up the candlestick and put it on the table, secretly thinking about how to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, when I put down the candlestick, my finger swept across the table and suddenly touched something, which was vaguely paper, as thin as a letter.Shen Bailing's heart moved, and he thought to himself: When I was outside just now, there was nothing on the table except candlesticks and flints, why did I leave a letter inside? If that expert had already left here, I don't think there would be anything left behind, could it be...

He hurriedly took the letter and walked to the window, looking at it through the light that came in, and saw a line of ink scribbled on the cover, and when he looked closely, it was the five small words "Shen Xiaoyou, dear friend".

Xiaoyou Shen... Who else could it be but herself!Shen Bailing took a deep breath, feeling extremely unbelievable.I came to look for this expert without informing in advance, and it took some time for the expert to leave, but this letter clearly stated that it was for me. Could it be that the expert had passed away many days ago? Knowing that he would find it here, he deliberately edited a book and saved it for himself to read in the future?

It is really unpredictable for an expert to act.Shen Bailing sighed while reaching out to open the envelope, but it happened that the person outside the door could no longer hold back his temper, and the knock on the door became louder and louder, urging him repeatedly: "Mr. Break through the door!" There was a little more eagerness in his tone.

This person urged so urgently, I don't know what important knowledge to ask the expert to go to their young master's house?Shen Bailing frowned, and didn't bother to open the letter, so he stuffed the envelopes into his bosom, stepped forward and opened the door.

Outside the door is a long street paved with bluestone slabs. There are many small shops and stalls on both sides of the street.It turns out that the wooden house of the expert is so ingeniously arranged, one side leads to the pine forest in the back alley, and the other side is close to the market. It really echoes the old saying "The great hermit hides in the city", and the magical power of the fairy family's magic is naturally indispensable in it. , it is not possible for ordinary people to do it.

After retracting his gaze, Shen Bailing turned to look at the man standing on the steps.The young man was dressed in green clothes, dressed as a schoolboy, and was carrying a large lacquered wooden food box in his hand. His appearance was rather delicate and clever. His eyes were full of astonishment, and he stared at Shen Bailing's face in a daze, obviously seeing It was a surprise that the person who walked out of the door was not an old gentleman but a strange young man.

"You, who are you?" The book boy stared blankly at him for a while before thinking of asking.

Shen Bailing only smiled lightly and did not answer.

In fact, he didn't know how to answer it in his heart.But the bookboy saw the calm expression on his face, so he regarded him as an important person, and he didn't dare to be rude, after carefully looking at him for a few times, he suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Ah, I see! This young master So handsome, with extraordinary temperament, presumably he must be the nephew of the old man, coming to visit his old man, right?"

Shen Bailing was taken aback for a moment, and gave him a noncommittal smile.The book boy pretended to be smart, and said with a smile: "Of course, the nephew of the old man is also a young man with great supernatural powers and knowledge. Our young master likes to make friends with people like young masters. How about going to the mansion with the old man?" As he spoke, he praised Shen Bailing endlessly, it was nothing more than trying to please the old man's "nephews" and many lobbyists.

Shen Bailing raised his eyebrows lightly, and then said: "There is no one else in the room except me."

"What?" The book boy was stunned, looked at him half-believingly, and couldn't help but poked his head into the room to peek. Seeing that the room was really dark and very quiet, he gradually showed a embarrassed expression on his face, and murmured, " The old gentleman is really not here, this...how can this be good?"

Shen Bailing watched the expression on his face constantly changing, his eyes were filled with anxiety, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart, and he thought to himself: If you come to ask for advice, you don't have to find him. People come to teach knowledge, but what is there to ask for?

Just as he was guessing, he suddenly saw the book boy gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head to look at himself, and said flatly, "Young master, since the old gentleman is not here, I have no choice but to invite you and Qingming to the mansion." See you, Master!"

"Me?" Shen Bailing was taken aback, quickly shook his head and declined, "I don't have any knowledge to pass on to your young master."

The bookboy also shook his head and said, "It's not about learning... well, since you are the old man's nephew, you must know the old man's supernatural powers well, so I won't hide any more... our young master wants to invite you The old gentleman came to make a divination for him! The old gentleman is so powerful, and his family has a long history, you must be well versed in numerology. Can, and can be slightly unraveled."

It turned out that the owner of the book boy wanted someone to tell his fortune.Shen Bailing suddenly realized, and the only thing he thought about was that this was the truth. That expert was good at divination. He thought that in order to taste the delicious food at the young master's house, he exchanged divination. It's just that the young master is too greedy. It may not be easy for the expert to calculate a hexagram, but he has repeatedly ordered someone to invite the expert to pass the house. It is no wonder that the expert refused to see him, and maybe the expert left Jiangdu just to avoid him.

I came all the way to Jiangdu, but the master left first, this young master really deserved his credit.Thinking of this in Shen Bailing's heart, he felt a little displeased with the book boy and his young master, and immediately said indifferently: "I have other important things to do, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

The bookboy suddenly begged with a sad face: "My lord, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If you go to the mansion with me, you may save one life or two lives, and even build hundreds of thousands of pagodas." , all of us in the whole family should be grateful for the great kindness and virtue of the young master, and only ask the young master for mercy!"

Shen Bailing frowned, and said disapprovingly: "What is so important, and it involves human life? You are exaggerating too much."

The book boy shook his hand and said: "It's not an exaggeration at all! You don't know something, my lord, and it's related to the lives of our master and the future young mistress!"

Hearing that it was about human life, Shen Bailing couldn't help feeling a little curious: "Why is this?"

The book boy glanced at him, and suddenly smiled and said, "My lord, why don't I get in the carriage first, and I'll explain to you in detail on the way." As he spoke, he turned and walked towards a carriage parked at the foot of the steps, and respectfully set off the carriage. The car curtain came, but the smile on his face had the taste of "please enter the urn".

It wasn't until Shen Bailing got into the carriage helplessly that the book boy explained in detail: "My lord, you just asked what is related to the lives of my master and young mistress, and this matter starts from the strange disease that our master suffered a year ago. We Gu's mansion can also be regarded as a famous family in Jiangdu City. There are countless fertile fields and shops in the house. Unexpectedly, the master suddenly fell ill a year ago, and the family's money was spent like running water. There are many famous doctors, but they can't make the master's illness a little bit better. The young master was studying abroad to obtain fame, but he rushed back halfway, and served the soup and medicine by himself every day, but it didn't work at all. Later, he met the old man by chance, and he gave the master After a hexagram, it was said that the young master must marry a woman who was hit with a wood, so that the wood master would be alive, so that the master's illness could be cured, so the young master proposed to the Lin family in the city under the old man's guidance. It is strange to say that since the marriage Miss Lin's engagement, the master's illness is really not that serious, and he is not groggy all day long, but the wife and the young master are so happy, the young master even praised the old man for being a god, knowing that the old man likes food, So I asked me to send some delicious food and wine every day to thank the old man for saving his father."

Shen Bailing nodded, and said, "Isn't this very good? Your young master saved his father and got a beautiful wife, so what else can you ask the old man?"

The book boy sighed: "It would be nice if it was just like this, but then... Anyway, seeing that the master's illness has improved, the young master is relieved, and because our master has been ill for a long time, many shops and properties in the family are left unattended. So I went out to the south for our master to take care of these affairs, and also took a walk around to broaden his horizons. When I went south to a small seaside town, I happened to catch up with the Lantern Festival. At that time, I saw that the young master was busy checking the account books all day, and was very tired. , and persuaded him to go out and visit the Lantern Festival to relax. How did you know that it was at that Lantern Festival that the young master met and met a girl."

Shen Bailing was taken aback, and immediately guessed that the young master must have fallen in love with the girl he met by chance at first sight.Sure enough, the book boy went on to say: "The girl was born very beautiful. Miss Lin is already a famous beauty in Jiangdu City, but she is not as good as her. No wonder the young master fell in love with her at first sight. The street was very lively that night. The lantern on the table was deliberately touched by someone, she was anxious and angry, she threw the lantern on the ground and stepped on it, and tried to argue with that person, but the person who provoked her brought a few hooligans with her. The girl was angry, and even said a lot of obscenities, presumably because she saw that the girl was beautiful, so she went up to tease her on purpose. Our young master seemed to lose his soul when he first saw the girl, how could he hold back when he saw someone bullying her, Dang even stood in front of her, but he was just a weak young man. Although he had the heart to save the beauty, he didn't have such a good skill. Instead, he was hit in the face by those rascals. When the girl saw that the young master was injured for her, her face was full He flicked the young master lightly angrily, and gave those people a hard lesson with just three punches and two kicks, the young master and I were dumbfounded. I never thought that such a delicate beauty would have a unique skill."

"Since this girl is not a demure lady, you young master must be very disappointed?" Shen Bailing asked this question deliberately, because he knew in his heart that although these chivalrous women who roamed the world are skilled in martial arts and are not to be bullied, in the eyes of ordinary men they are Nor is it a candidate for a good wife and mother.

"Master, you are wrong." The book boy shook his head, "Although that girl is savage, the young master seems to appreciate her even more. He not only bought a new lamp for her, but also walked around the street with that girl for a long time. , did not break up until the tip of the moon. The girl seemed to be quite interested in our young master, and she asked where he lived when she left. I am afraid that she is thinking of meeting again in the future, but the young master is already engaged, so how? I can go with other girls again... so I just hesitated a little, and brought me back to Jiangdu in a very disappointed mood the next day."

Shen Bailing suddenly felt a little puzzled, and thought: This story is somewhat familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

The book boy said again: "But after returning to Jiangdu, our young master has been unhappy all the time, and he doesn't want to read books anymore. He just spends his days reciting poems and drawing pictures in the study room. I don't quite understand what the poems say, but I can paint them That beauty was clearly the girl I met at the Lantern Festival. I knew the young master was lovesick at the first sight. Although he kept his etiquette and kept to himself and didn't have much to do with that girl, he couldn't control himself from thinking about her. In fact, for a family like ours, it doesn’t matter if you marry a concubine. If the young master really likes that girl, it’s fine to marry her as a concubine. But when I persuaded the young master like this, he scolded me very angrily, saying that if it’s true I like it, and it will be ushered in as a wife. Then one day, the young master suddenly invited the old gentleman and asked him if it would be okay if he retired and married someone else. Not to mention IKEA and IKEA, she even saved my father's life. As for others, there must be no fate for the third life. The young master changed his face when he said this. He asked the old man why he said that. In fact, it was me. The little book boy also understood that what the old man meant was that the girl cannot marry into the family. If we marry her, not only our master's illness will not be cured, but Miss Lin who has been divorced may not be able to swallow this breath. At that moment, the old man refused to say any more, he just ate up a table of good dishes prepared by the cook, wiped his mouth and left. But after a few days, the young master invited the old man to come again and asked him if he might change his life. The gentleman still said the same thing, he said that the young master's favorite girl is not only destined for him in this life, but also will not be consummated in the next life. If we must keep entangled, I am afraid that one day we will destroy that girl! But the young master still refuses to believe it. That's why I always ask me to come to look for the old man, but the old man may have annoyed us, and gradually he refused to agree, and later he didn't even open the door... I'm afraid that if this continues, the young master won't wait The old gentleman's idea, just insist on going his own way, and then it will really lead to a big mistake..."

He kept talking to himself, but didn't notice Shen Bailing's gradually changing expression.Only after he finished speaking, Shen Bailing asked, "What's that girl's name?"

The carriage creaked to a stop, and the book boy lifted the curtain and jumped out, saying: "I heard that the young master often chanted...it seems to be called Zixuan..."
