As expected, it is a wealthy family with courtyards at the front and back. The lady's embroidery building is in the backyard. There are many flowers, plants and trees planted in the courtyard, and the environment is beautiful.
The master and apprentice slipped out of the back door.
There was an alley leading out the door, and it was probably through this alley that Tang Sheng slipped into the Yuan's wife's house to have a tryst with Xiu'er.
Bai Jing held Luo Yang's hand, with a smile on her slightly childish face. She knew that there would be surprises in her adventure with the master. Her premonition was so powerful that she gained love as soon as she came.
I really want to applaud this hard-won love.
"Xiu'er." As he was about to leave the alley, Luoyang slowed down.
Bai Jing was slightly angry: "Master, don't call me Xiu'er, this is not me. If I were Xiu'er, would I have asked you to beat my father just now?"
Luoyang coughed slightly: "But we are in this gap. You are Xiu'er and I am Tang Sheng. This is the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Men and women do not interact with each other. If we go out holding hands, the whole street will be shocked.
Everyone is looking at us, how can we do anything?"
"Well, that's right. It was an oversight." Bai Jing let go of Luoyang's hand and stuck out her tongue again.
The small and tender tongue is incomparable to the original.
Luoyang saw it. It didn't have the magical power of the original version, and it felt very natural to him.
The master and apprentice walked out of the alley side by side.
People were coming and going on the streets, including the dignitaries wandering the streets, the handsome young talents and beautiful Tang Dynasty girls, the peddlers selling things with their loaders, the vendors hawking, and the customers haggling. It was very lively.
Bai Jing took a deep breath and said excitedly: "It's worth it to visit Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty like this once in my life."
Luoyang looked up into the distance and soon saw a tower.
That is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but unfortunately it is shorter, with only five floors.
Bai Jing also saw it, and she said: "Master, we are here before the expansion. According to historical records, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is in Jinchangfang, and the Drunken Immortal Tower should be nearby. I'll go and ask."
Luoyang said: "I'd better go and ask. You are a wealthy lady and you can't show your face."
Bai Jing burst into laughter: "I, the eldest lady, was abducted by you, and you..."
Stopped suddenly, embarrassed to say it.
Luoyang was also a little embarrassed, so he stopped a salesman and asked for directions.
The salesman raised his finger and pointed in a certain direction. Luoyang bowed in thanks and led Bai Jing towards that direction.
"Master, the gesture you made just now was wrong. Didn't you notice that the salesman looked at you strangely?" Bai Jing said.
Luoyang said: "Is there anything special about this?"
"Look at me." Bai Jing faced Luoyang, crossed his hands on his chest, held his right hand with his left hand, and raised the thumb of his right hand, "This is called the cross-hand salute, which is how people in the Tang Dynasty bow."
Luoyang imitated her actions and returned the cross-hand salute, and praised with a smile: "You are really knowledgeable and talented, you know everything that happened more than a thousand years ago."
Bai Jing smiled bitterly: "What I learned was useless knowledge. If I hadn't met Master, I would have had to rely on my mother's help to support myself."
"Master will support you from now on," Luoyang said.
It's time to take responsibility...
Bai Jing's face turned red, and she wanted to take Luoyang's arm for a kiss. Suddenly, she remembered her status as a lady, and she retracted her hand abruptly, feeling embarrassed.
The master and apprentice walked in the direction pointed by the salesman.
"I don't know where Xuan Taimei has gone. I'm a little worried about that daredevil." Luoyang finally remembered Xuan Taimei.
It's really not his fault. It was the same situation as soon as he came in from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It would be strange if he could still think of Xuan Taimei at that time.
"She should be nearby, after all, we came in from the same place." Bai Jing looked around, but there were strange ancient faces, and she didn't know who Xuan Taimei was.
Luoyang has no choice, he is just "Tang Sheng" now, has no spiritual power, and can't use witchcraft.
"The last time I came in from the ward of the People's Hospital, I was an old scholar, but this time
But he became Tang Sheng. Isn't genetic matching the key factor?" Luoyang has never figured this out.
Bai Jing thought for a while and said: "Perhaps, the genes of this Tang Sheng and your master are more closely matched. In addition, it may also be related to the area. Different entrances correspond to different areas. In this area, the master and this Tang Sheng are genetically matched."
The genetic match is the highest, so it’s in his body.”
"What about you?"
"I am in the same situation, right?" Bai Jing smiled shyly, "Isn't this just God's will?"
It is indeed God's will, and this is also the most reasonable explanation at present.
Luoyang thought that maybe it had something to do with holding hands and coming in, but it wasn't important and he didn't bother to think about it.
When we were about to walk out of the street, there was a three-story wooden building in front of us. The facade was quite grand. A wooden pole protruded diagonally from the second floor, with a cloth banner hanging on it, and the words "Zui Xian Building" were written on it.
The meeting place has arrived.
The word "zui" tells what kind of place it is, it is a restaurant.
"Let's go in and take a look. Follow me closely. If there is an emergency, grab me immediately or hold me tight." Luoyang warned.
Bai Jing nodded: "Yes."
The two masters and apprentices entered Zuixian Tower. It was not lunch time at this time, and the spacious lobby was deserted.
A waiter came up with a smile on his face and said politely: "You two gentlemen, what do you need?"
Luoyang said: "Someone asked me to meet here, but I don't know if he came."
"Is your guest's surname Luo?" the waiter asked.
Luoyang was stunned for a moment and replied: "Well, my surname is Luo, how do you know?"
"A guest officer said hello in advance. If a guest officer named Luo comes to see someone, I will take him there. You two guests, please come with me." The waiter walked forward to lead the way and walked up the road.
Wooden stairs.
Third floor.
The waiter led Luoyang and Bai Jing to a door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
A man's voice came from the door: "Come in."
The waiter opened the door, but the man stepped aside, bowed and stretched out his hand.
Luoyang and Bai Jing walked in.
This is a tea room. There is a tea table by the window. The tea table and chairs look very simple, but very exquisite. This style developed to its extreme in the Song Dynasty, and Song-style aesthetics became the most important part of Chinese civilization.
It is a bright pearl.
Sitting on a chair was an old man in green shirt, with a thin face, a long beard on his chin, and a grayish-white color. The whole person gave off a noble and knowledgeable impression.
There was a stove beside the old man, and a pot of tea was boiling on it. The aroma of tea overflowed.
The old man glanced at Luoyang and Bai Jing and said, "What are you doing standing around here? Come here."
Luoyang walked over, crossed his hands on his chest, raised the thumb of his right hand, and said politely: "May I ask you, senior?"
"I am your grandpa." The old man in blue shirt said.
"Ah?" Luoyang was stunned on the spot.
Before coming here, he had been guessing who sent him the note and asked him to meet at Zuixian Tower in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. The most suspicious person was naturally Ji Chong, but after excluding Ji Zhong, he couldn't guess who it was.
I had no idea who it was, but I didn’t expect it to be his grandfather—Qin Sihai!
Bai Jing was also confused.
Master had never mentioned to her that he had a grandpa. After all, it was not yet time to "meet the parents." When Master's grandpa appeared in front of her in such a way and in such a place, you can imagine how she felt.
.
"Ah, what, come and sit." Qin Sihai picked up the teapot from the stove and poured tea into three white teacups.
Luoyang walked to the tea table and looked at the old man in green shirt carefully, but the old man in green shirt was nothing like his grandfather Qin Sihai.
Qin Sihai smiled: "I know what you are curious about. How could I be the person you remember when we meet here? Sit down."
Luoyang sat opposite Qin Sihai.
Qin Sihai spoke again
Jing waved his hand: "Girl, come and sit."
Bai Jing then walked over and called out sharply: "Hello, grandpa, my name is Bai Jing."
Qin Sihai was stunned for a moment: "You call me great-grandpa?"
Bai Jing said: "I followed Master, who called you Grandpa. I am Master's disciple, so of course I will call you Grandpa."
Qin Sihai said with a smile: "Just now I thought you were my grandson's lover. Luoyang brought you in to play, but I didn't expect you to be his disciple." Then he glanced at Luoyang and said, "You accept a disciple at such a young age, okay.
ah."
Luoyang didn't know how to explain it and smiled awkwardly.
Bai Jing sat next to Luoyang, looking very obedient.
"Grandpa, are you in Chang'an City? Why didn't you come to see me, but you handed me a note and asked me to meet here." Luoyang couldn't understand his grandfather's operation.
Qin Sihai picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, but did not answer.
"Also, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you contact me?" Luoyang had been holding these words in his heart for several years, and he couldn't help but say them all at once.
Qin Sihai put down the tea cup: "I can't meet you, so I can only use this method."
"Why?"
Qin Sihai was silent for a moment before saying, "I left you because the risk of my exposure was beyond my control and I had to leave. If I didn't leave, both of us would die."
"Ancient society?"
Qin Sihai nodded: "The people of the Jiuli tribe have been looking for me. Once discovered by them, I can't protect you with my strength, so I left. I haven't dared to contact you all these years."
"Because of the Witch Market?" Luoyang's mind was on a straight line.
"Yes, of course there is you."
Luoyang said in surprise: "I was just an ordinary student at that time, how come I became the target of the ancient society?"
Qin Sihai looked out the window and said nothing.
Luoyang was puzzled that he finally met his grandfather, whom he had not seen for several years, but it gave him a strange feeling.
"Master, I'm going to the bathroom." Bai Jing said.
Luoyang knew that she was deliberately avoiding it, but he still nodded.
Bai Jing stood up and left, going out, but stayed in the corridor outside the door. She really avoided it deliberately and didn't want to stay in it. She was different from those women with favorable conditions. The difficult growing environment made her learn restraint, and she also
She knows how to behave. She is actually very curious about the story of Luoyang and his grandfather, but she knows how to restrain her curiosity. Qin Sihai doesn't say anything, so she knows how to avoid it. She doesn't need Qin Sihai or Luoyang to hint at these things, she knows it herself
What to do.
Qin Sihai looked away from the window and looked at Luoyang: "Luoyang, it's time to tell you a secret."
