Chapter 79: Marriage-in-law
Bypassing the town, the three people walked forward.
Pei Ning is on the right, Lin Bai is in the middle, and the man named Wang is on the left.
While eating the candy balls, he couldn't stop his mouth and kept talking.
But after all his talk, he didn't come up with anything useful. Anyway, Qiaoshan was good.
Lin Bai asked him what specialties Qiaoshan had, what the monks did for a living, and whose family was the most powerful, but the man surnamed Wang couldn't tell him anything. He only briefly mentioned some talismans and elixirs. He clearly didn't know the reason.
This is a straw bag, and it is unclear and arrogant and ignorant. Lin Bai and Pei Ning immediately made a judgment.
Pei Ning winked at Lin Bai, signaling to get rid of this person quickly.
Lin Bai thought so too, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a middle-aged monk coming up to him.
The monk was cleanly dressed, a little rich, with a kind appearance, and looked quite honest. He stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "Three fellow Taoists, you are polite."
Lin Bai and Pei Ning returned the gift, and the man named Wang also hurriedly returned the gift.
"I am Zhu Yumao, a disciple of the Zhu family." The middle-aged man looked like he was welcoming guests in a secular temple. He pointed to the high pavilion in the manor in front and said kindly: "Three Taoist friends are here, why don't you go up to the pavilion to pay your respects?" Tea, take a break and let me do my best as a landlord.”
Lin Bai and Pei Ning were frightened, and they became defensive when they heard this.
Pei Ning took a step back, Lin Bai guarding her.
However, Lin Bai didn't notice anything was wrong. There was indeed a high pavilion a hundred feet in front, with a boy on it, but no murderous aura.
There is only a manor in the surrounding area, with flowers and trees hidden outside the walls.
Moreover, when Lin Bai was about to die on Golden Turtle Island, he acquired the magical power of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck. If there was bad luck, he would feel it in his heart.
Of course, it's not necessarily accurate. The realm is too low, so it is easy to be influenced. Lin Bai also knew it, so he didn't rely on it for everything.
But based on what he saw and heard, Zhu Yumao spoke sincerely and did not seem like a bad person. If there was an ambush, he wouldn't be so stupid as to come forward.
Lin Bai was still thinking about it, but the man named Wang immediately agreed.
I don't know whether he was too confident and had no sense of defense, or whether he firmly believed that all the people in Qiaoshan were good people, or maybe he was caught by the candy and needed a cup of tea urgently.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, then nodded and said "excuse me."
The two of them also wanted to talk to a local, but the man named Wang really didn't know anything.
Zhu Yumao was very happy, with a smile on his honest face, and he politely led the way.
When we entered the manor, we saw flowers, white cranes, and flowing water.
Zhu Yumao didn't ask much about the origins and whereabouts of Lin Bai and others, he just talked about his own origins in an extremely humble manner.
It turns out that he comes from the Zhu family, a family of immortal cultivators.
Their family is on Fengming Mountain in front of them. The town that the three of them passed through just now is owned by the Zhu family, and most of the ordinary people are named Zhu.
Zhu Yumao is a well-known guest in the Zhu family, and the high pavilion of this manor was also built to welcome guests. Whenever a monk passes by this place, he invites him to have tea and rest, and to form a good relationship.
"That's why I'm blocking the road this time. Please don't blame me, my three fellow Taoists." Zhu Yumao said with great sincerity. His face was honest and kind, and his slightly fat appearance made him appear harmless to humans and animals, making people feel close to him. .
Lin Bai felt that Lao Zhu's family obviously knew people well when they asked him to be their intellectual guest.
But there must be more to come, just wait and see.
Climb up to the attic and look far into the distance.
The host and guest were seated, and the boy served him tea.
"You haven't asked your three fellow Taoists about Gao's surname yet?" Zhu Shimao asked with a smile.
"My surname is Wang!" The man surnamed Wang just drank tea.
"Here lies the crane in the clouds, this is clumsy..."
Lin Bai pointed at Pei Ning. Before she finished the introduction, she was interrupted by Pei Ning. She said lightly: "My surname is Pei, and I am his aunt."
Ever since Pei Ning knew the title "Sister Zhen", Lin Bai was not allowed to call her Sister Ning again. She is used to being yin and yang, how dare she be compared with Jin Dan? She was not qualified to be a sister, so she asked Lin Bai to call her aunt.
The reason is also simple, but it comes from the common generation. She said that Lin Bai and Xiu Xiu were of the same generation, and she was Xiu Xiu's uncle, so she was of the same generation as Lin Bai, so she should naturally be called aunt.
Of course, Lin Bai never called her aunt, he only planned to call her aunt one day after they slept together to see how she would look like.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, Friend Daoist Pei, Wang..." Seeing that the man named Wang had finished his tea, Zhu Yumao hurriedly waved to the boy to continue, "This is a specialty of my Zhu family's Fengming Mountain, and it will bring endless rewards. Please.”
After saying that, he drank slowly first.
This tea is slightly green, slightly fragrant, and contains spiritual energy.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, each took a sip, and then felt comfortable and exhausted.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Yumao asked Lin Bai where the three of them came from.
The man named Wang said he came from the sea, and Lin Bai and Pei Ning also said the same.
Qiaoshan is next to the sea. In addition to the two big islands of Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect, there are many small islands on the sea.
Zhu Yumao didn't ask too many questions, and briefly asked if it was hard on the road and if there were any thieves.
After chatting for a while, everyone gradually became less wary and became more lively.
Zhu Yumao finally got down to business and asked the three of them what their specialties were.
It turns out he was trying to recruit people! But are you looking for the wrong person? What abilities can three little Qi practitioners who come to Qiaoshan hang out have? Lin Bai looked at Peining.
Pei Ning glanced at Lin Bai, then lowered his head and smiled slightly.
Lin Bai knew what she meant. She clearly wanted to say that he had the special skill of spinning wheels!
After glaring at Pei Ning, Lin Bai cupped his hands towards Zhu Yumao and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Zhu, we really have no other skills, so we make fellow Taoist laugh."
"That's okay." Zhu Yumao was very serious. "If you have talent elsewhere, that's okay too. Whether it's planting, refining elixirs, refining weapons, or making talismans, you can learn slowly."
Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other and thought to themselves, how lacking is your family?
You know, things like refining alchemy and making talismans are extremely expensive to cultivate. Therefore, casual cultivators usually do not learn, and only sects or families have the background to cultivate this.
And the other party said that he could teach, even if it was a very simple way to get started, there must be a price.
Just as he was about to ask about the price, the man named Wang suddenly smiled. Asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, may I ask what state your ancestor is in?"
Zhu Yumao was a little embarrassed and said: "My ancestor of the Golden Pill passed away a few years ago. Now my uncle is in charge of the family. It is in the late stage of foundation building. However, my uncle has achieved success in cultivation and the Golden Pill is in sight."
Lin Bai roughly understood that the Zhu family had lost its golden elixir, and the family's strength had been greatly reduced, so he wanted to find some foreign aid. But what have you been doing? Not cultivating a little more?
"I wonder how rich your family is! It turns out it's just a foundation-building family!" The man surnamed Wang stood up and clasped his fists, "There are so many opportunities in Qiaoshan, and our future is endless, how can we stay here? Goodbye!" After saying that, people unexpectedly said He went straight down to the attic and walked out.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning were stunned. They couldn't understand how this Wang, who was only in the early stage of Qi training, could look down on someone in the later stage of foundation building. Moreover, they also have the background of the Jindan family.
But it's not too outrageous. Lin Bai had talked with the man named Wang before and knew that he was unreliable and couldn't handle things clearly.
"Please have tea." Zhu Yumao was a little embarrassed and couldn't keep his face.
Lin Bai was a man of etiquette and immediately made some useless gossip to help Zhu Yumao out of trouble.
After three drinks, Lin Bai asked again: "Brother Zhu, I wonder what regulations are required to study in your home?"
To be honest, Lin Bai was a little tempted. If he could learn something, he would do it for free.
"This is simple," Zhu Yumao immediately smiled and spoke warmly, "As long as you have completed three years of training, if you have some success and have a good character, then..."
"I have the most upright character! People from all over the country praise me!" Lin Bai said immediately.
"Then marry into my Zhu family, and we will be a family!" Zhu Yumao laughed heartily.
Pei Ning spit out a sip of tea and looked at Lin Bai with a smile.
