He took out two small wine cups out of nowhere and poured a cup for himself and Shen Luo. They clinked their cups together and started drinking.
Along the way, Bai Xiaotian was very familiar with the restaurants and restaurants on the street and gave Shen Luo a lot of comments.
When they passed by a river that flowed through the city, Bai Xiaotian, who had not been looking out, suddenly leaned in front of the window and kept looking out.
Shen Luo followed his gaze and saw that the buildings on both sides of the river were very close together. Most of them were decorated with hanging lights and decorations. Even in the middle of the river, there were many exquisite pleasure boats.
"What is this place?" Shen Luo asked, puzzled.
"Have you heard of the Night Mooring Qinhuai Restaurant? This is the Qinhuai River, the place to drink wine. I'll bring you here to broaden your horizons. "Bai Xiaotian put his arm around Shen Luo's shoulder and said with a smile.
"No wonder the smell of cosmetics is so strong … Speaking of which, we're still considered Taoists. It's better to stay away from brothels." Shen Luo wrinkled his nose and said.
"You don't understand, do you? As the saying goes, after experiencing the mortal world, one's Taoist heart is like a rock. If one doesn't experience the mortal world, how can one talk about transcending the mortal world? "Bai Xiaotian said disapprovingly.
The horse carriage passed through the city. The further south they went, the fewer people there were on the streets. Instead, there were more and more mansions and courtyards.
Finally, the horse carriage stopped in front of a magnificent courtyard.
Shen Luo got down from the carriage. Beside him was a stone lion that was as tall as a man. It stepped on a hollow embroidered ball, looking very majestic.
Ten feet behind the stone lion, there were three stone steps that went up. Behind the stone steps was a majestic gate tower that was about twenty feet tall. The main gate in the middle was open, and the two side gates were closed. A huge plaque hung on the lintel, with the words "Bai Mansion" written in gold on a red background.
Shen Luo looked at the lion ring on the vermillion lacquer gate and the forty-nine golden nails inlaid on it. He couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
It seemed that a servant had already informed them that there were already more than a dozen servants and maids standing outside the gate, all of them respectfully waiting for them.
Seeing that Bai Jiangfeng and Bai Xiaotian had arrived at the entrance, these people immediately came forward to welcome them. Shen Luo also followed Bai Xiaotian and was escorted into the residence by this large group of people.
When the group of people walked to the front yard, a white-haired old woman in luxurious clothes welcomed them with the help of a servant girl.
When she saw that Bai Xiaotian's injuries had not healed, her eyes were filled with pity. She could not help but scold and complain.
After Bai Xiaotian introduced her, he found out that she was his grandmother, and also the birth mother of the current head of the Bai family, Bai Hecheng.
Shen Luo was a good friend of her grandson. She was also very pleased with him. She hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain him.
Shen Luo was flattered and felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper hurried over. He bowed to the old woman and Bai Jiangfeng and said, "The head of the family is waiting in the study in the backyard. He asked the Young Master and the guests to go over first."
"Tian 'er, then you go over first. It's more important to talk about business." Hearing this, the old woman nodded and said.
"Yes. After I see father, I will accompany grandmother later. "Bai Xiaotian immediately replied.
After saying that, the three of them passed through many courtyards and two gardens, and arrived at the backyard of the residence.
After entering the study, Shen Luo saw the head of the Bai family, Bai Hecheng. He originally thought that he would be a middle-aged man with a dignified bearing, but in the end, he discovered that he was actually a middle-aged man in his thirties who was as handsome as Bai Xiaotian.
Seeing them enter, Bai Hecheng put down the book in his hand and stood up from behind the desk. He sized up Bai Xiaotian and Bai Xiaotian, and a smile appeared on his face as he said,
"Looking at the two of you, you must have suffered a lot on the way, right?"
"Fortunately, third grandpa arrived at the critical moment and scared away the demonic woman. I'm sorry for making father worry." Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.
As he said that, he introduced Shen Luo to his father and said that they were able to return safely because of his mutual support.
"You've dealt with it well. With this experience, it's better than three years of cultivation." Bai Hecheng nodded.
"Head of the family, the situation this time was indeed dangerous. The one who chased after them was a Demon Clan cultivator who was in the Fasting Period. It was not easy for them to hold on until I arrived." Bai Jiangfeng walked up and described the situation when he encountered Bai Xiaotian and Bai Xiaotian.
"Xiaotian is really grateful to third uncle for being able to survive this time." Bai Hecheng frowned and bowed to him in the end.
"Head of the family, you don't have to be so polite. Xiaotian is the future pillar of our family. As an elder, this is what I should do." Bai Jiangfeng hurriedly avoided and did not accept the bow.
Bai Hecheng looked at Bai Xiaotian and asked, "Xiaotian, what happened to the Temple of Spring and Autumn? Tell me the cause and effect in detail."
Bai Xiaotian immediately recounted the events that happened on the day of the Temple of Spring and Autumn. However, he did not mention anything about the Pure Yang Manual.
Shen Luo then added some things that he knew, but he did not mention anything about the Pure Yang Manual.
"I didn't expect that even the Elder of the Temple of Spring and Autumn would be in trouble … Nephew Shen, you should stay in the Bai Family for the time being. After that, I will use the name of the Bai Family to investigate this matter thoroughly with the other Immortal Cultivation Sects. We must find the culprit behind this." Bai Hecheng's expression gradually became serious as he listened to the end of the story.
"Uncle, Junior thinks that there are two extremely important figures in the sect's unforeseen event this time. One is Wang Qingsong who betrayed the sect, and the other is Gu Hualing who infiltrated the demon race. If we're able to capture one of them, we'll be able to know the truth of the matter," Shen Luo suddenly said.
Bai Hecheng looked at Shen Luo and said, "These two people are indeed the cause of the incident in the Temple of Spring and Autumn."
"I ask uncle to find the culprit behind this incident. Shen Luo, on behalf of all the deceased souls in the Temple of Spring and Autumn, thanks uncle. Thank you for your kindness. "Shen Luo expressed his gratitude and bowed deeply.
"Nephew, you don't have to be so courteous. I'm sure your vitality must have been greatly damaged after your adventure. Xiaotian, take Nephew Shen to have a good rest. "Bai Hecheng waved his hand and said.
After the two of them left, Bai Hecheng looked at Bai Jiangfeng and asked,
"Third Uncle, did you find anything wrong with Shen Luo?"
"Based on his words and actions, he was most likely a disciple of a rich family before he joined the Temple of Spring and Autumn. Xiao Tian trusted this person quite a bit and supported him along the way. That was why he was able to last until I came to save him. This person's Cultivation Method doesn't belong to the Little Mao Mountain, so he must have encountered some other opportunities. He might be the only surviving disciple of the Spring and Autumn Temple aside from Xiao Tian, "Bai Jiangfeng replied after some thought.
"Because of this, I feel that this person isn't simple. He might be hiding the secret of the Temple of Spring and Autumn. Arrange for someone to investigate his background. If there are no problems, find an opportunity to have Xiaotian talk to him and see if he is willing to join our Bai Clan. The world is becoming more and more chaotic. Incidents of small cultivation sects like the Temple of Spring and Autumn being destroyed are happening all over the Great Tang. Our Bai Clan needs to increase our strength. "Bai Hecheng nodded and said.
"My Bai Family is currently in a situation where we can protect ourselves. More and more sects in the outside world are becoming more and more convinced of the Great Tribulation. The cultivation world seems to be peaceful on the surface, but there are already undercurrents surging beneath the surface. I don't think there is much hope for us to find the culprit behind the Temple of Spring and Autumn. Our clan needs to conduct an internal investigation. "Bai Jiangfeng suggested.
"That's right. What we can do now is to thoroughly investigate the entire clan to prevent any demons from sneaking in. Two days ago, when the Ancestor talked about the Great Tribulation, he also felt great pressure, "Bai Hecheng slowly said.
"Jiangfeng, Hecheng …"
At this moment, an elderly voice suddenly rang out in their minds.
