"Young Master is not here, so you have to be cautious in everything. People's hearts are in the belly. This person has unknown origins and has to be on guard," Mao Mao muttered.
Zhao Shi nodded and said: "It was with this in mind that I brought him in. He wanted to visit the young master, and I was afraid he would not leave before seeing the young master. Instead of doing this, I just brought him in."
He was brought in and put under surveillance.”
"Well, I can rest assured that Brother Zhao will do things. The world is very big, and there are countless strange people and strange things. No one can guarantee that someone who seems harmless to humans and animals will have unpredictable abilities. By the way, Brother Zhao, where do you place that person?
Room number?" Mao Mao asked clearly.
"I saw that he talked well, so I arranged him to the outer guest room No. 5," Zhao Shi replied.
The guest rooms in Calabash Valley are all fully booked. This is a world with strict hierarchies. Naturally, the reception standards are different according to the importance of the guests. The valley is divided into inside and outside, where ordinary guests are received outside and friends are received inside.
Nodding, Mao Mao picked up a tablet from the side and clicked on a video software. The next moment, six small surveillance video windows appeared on the screen, revealing every move of the person named Jingchen in the video.
In the video, he was sitting quietly in his room reading a book and drinking tea. There was a maid waiting outside the door, but he did not notice the camera hidden in the room.
Observing Jingchen carefully in the video, Mao Mao could not tell that he was a person with a certain level of cultivation. Therefore, this person was either unfathomable or simply a weak scholar.
After observing for a moment, Mao Mao thought about it and ordered: "The young master is not here. As a woman, it is not convenient for me to see guests. However, the identity of this person is unknown. We need to monitor his every move at all times. If he makes the slightest move, don't hesitate to activate it immediately."
Detonate the device, and the bomb underneath the house will blow it up into the sky!"
"I understand" Zhao Shi smiled.
The outskirts of the valley are just a place to receive ordinary guests. Not only are cameras hidden in the rooms, but powerful bombs are buried underneath. There is no other way, and people have to guard against it.
"Also, he said that he has traveled around the world to increase his knowledge. It seems that he must be knowledgeable. Find someone to test him to see if it is true..." Mao Mao thought for a while and narrowed his eyes.
As a woman, she is responsible for taking charge of everything in the valley when Bai Yang is away, so she must be careful.
There is no way, the valley is too important, it is the foundation of Baiyang. Not to mention the precious equipment, this place is the place where the dragon veins are reversed. There is no room for error in producing dragon essence!
Jingchen is located in a separate small courtyard with three rooms in a horizontal eye-catching pattern.
At this time, Jingchen was reading quietly in the middle room. In addition to the maid waiting at the door, another maid came and gave him a plate of fruits.
After putting down the melons and fruits, the maid asked cautiously: "Does the guest have any other needs? You can give us any instructions at any time. The young master said that no matter who he is, the visitor is a guest and must not be neglected."
Jingchen put down the book and looked at the maid with a smile and said: "Thank you very much, girl. Guests are welcome to do whatever they want. Everything is fine here, don't worry about it."
"Okay, then I'll go down and wait outside the door. If the guest has any instructions, just tell me." The maid said, taking three steps back and turning around to go out.
Jingchen smiled and picked up the book again to read slowly.
At the door, two maids came together and talked quietly.
"This young master is very handsome, well-educated, gentle and elegant. I don't know if he is married, let alone which girl is lucky enough to marry him."
"Hehe, Xiaozhu has grown up and wants men."
"It's annoying, that's why I don't have it"
"Okay, okay, you can't do it anymore, but if you want to say handsome, our young master is handsome. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a funny conversation, and he knows almost everything. You don't know how happy the young lady is, and
For a man like a young master, his life is worth it even if he dies."
"Humph, the young master is so kind, but he only likes the young lady and has no interest in other girls. Even the four sisters Bingqing Yujie and the young master have not taken him into the house yet."
"It's a matter of time..."
The two maids deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, as if they did not dare to disturb Jingchen, but their words were still heard by Jingchen. He who was concentrating on reading smiled and actually compared his appearance with others, which made him a little speechless.
Not paying attention, he continued reading.
The conversation between the two maids outside went in other directions.
I only heard a maid say: "By the way, have you understood the questions that the young master said? I still haven't figured it out yet. I have a headache."
"No, how can we figure out these questions, which came first, the chicken or the egg? I'm afraid the most knowledgeable people in the world can't tell clearly. Also, whether the sun is closer to us in the morning or the sun is farther away from us at noon, this
Who knows, the sun in the morning is bigger, bigger near and smaller in the distance. It seems that the sun in the morning is closer to us, but it is hotter and colder. Doesn’t it mean that the sun at noon is farther away from us? Why are there two different stones, one big and one small?
People who fall from the same height can land at the same time. Who knows the reason? Anyway, I haven’t figured out similar problems..."
"Yes, I don't understand. I don't know how many people are dizzy because of these questions from the young master. I heard that Captain Huzi asked the teacher these questions when he went to Deyang Town, and he forced a teacher to
A crazy gentleman vomited blood and almost died. After that, he never dared to ask anyone again..."
The conversation between the two maids outside fell into Jingchen's ears word for word, and as he listened, his mind was no longer on the book.
"Which came first, the chicken or the egg? When is the sun closer to you in the morning and at noon? Why do two rocks of different sizes fall to the ground at the same time at the same height..."
These questions were spinning in his mind, and then his expression became confused, and his brows gradually furrowed in confusion. When he thought about it more deeply, mosquito coils almost appeared in his eyes...
You can't think about these problems in detail. If you think about them carefully, you will only get yourself involved. Jingchen started scratching his head just thinking about it.
When did such a lowly servant begin to study such profound knowledge?
In a hidden monitoring room, two strong men stood close to the screen and stared at Jingchen, who had a tangled look on his face and grinned stupidly.
"Did you see that this scholar who claims to have traveled around the world to increase his knowledge was turned into a fool by a few of the young master's questions?"
"Be careful what you say. I'm a scholar. It's not good to spread the word... But then again, do you think everyone in the world is as smart as the young master? Not to mention other things, the young master can easily turn the dark salt into snow-white.
Can anyone do it..."
Jingchen was not alone in observing Jingchen. When Mao Mao saw Jingchen's reaction in the video, he smiled and said to Zhao Shi: "Brother Zhao, it should be fine. This person seems to be a pure scholar, but I have to
Be on guard, monitor closely, and wait until the young master comes back before making plans."
"Well, I understand, then I won't disturb the young lady." Zhao Shi nodded and left.
Looking at Jingchen in the video again, Mao Mao thought about it and put the tablet away, then left the small courtyard with the Sky Breaking Sword, jumped up, walked hundreds of meters in one step, and soon came to the top of a mountain, sitting cross-legged.
On the edge of the cliff, with the long sword across his knees, and the inexplicable sword light flashing around him, he continued to meditate on the True No Sword Canon.
Far away in the valley, above the sky, white poplars and Dan Qiulin were flying across the sky, rushing to this side of the valley.
"Why……"
On the way, Bai Yang looked down and sighed.
"We're almost home, why are you so nervous?" Shan Qiulin asked curiously.
"Old Dan, you know, in fact, I envy you many times. Along the way back, just a few thousand miles, I have seen too many human tragedies, natural disasters and man-made disasters. You don't have to worry about it, but I
I see it but I can't do anything about it. Even if I can manage one area, I can't really do anything about the endless territory of the Chen Dynasty..."
"When did you become compassionate? Haven't you always been heartless?"
"I just sighed a little, I didn't think much about it," Bai Yang said speechlessly.
Along the way back, bandits were rampant and causing chaos all over the land. Countless people froze to death and starved to death in the cold weather. Those who fled were confused and rushed into the distance...
Each of these scenes shows how chaotic the Chen Dynasty is at the moment.
The powerful Chen Dynasty has been standing in the world for so many years. Is it really impossible to deal with the Blood Lotus Sect and the rebels?
Bai Yang didn't believe it. He would rather believe that there was some conspiracy in it. However, what on earth is King Chen going to do now? To watch the lives of the people in ruins?
These things only fleetingly passed through Bai Yang's mind. They concerned the world and there was no need for him to worry about them.
As he continued to move forward, he could already see the Calabash Valley in the distance.
On the edge of the frozen Bibo River, everything in the valley remained the same, and there was no abnormality that Bai Yang didn't want to see.
However, when Bai Yang saw the valley, he subconsciously stopped.
"Are we here?" Shan Qiulin asked curiously.
Frowning slightly, Bai Yang shook his head and said, "No."
"If not, then why did you stop? It's not because you're tired of being close to the countryside after going out for a trip, right?"
Bai Yang didn't answer, but his brows furrowed as he looked toward the valley.
With a straight expression, Shan Qiulin held the wooden sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Did something happen?"
"No" Bai Yang shook his head.
"Then why did you..." Shan Qiulin was puzzled.
Looking towards the direction of the valley, Bai Yang squinted and said: "Everything is normal in the valley, but I don't know why. I always feel that something is going to happen after I go back. However, no matter how I look, I can't find any clues. Even if I open my eyes, what's going on over there in the valley?"
'Qi' is also normal."
Shan Qiulin fell silent. Although he was not a Shinto monk, he would not ignore the 'whims' of Shinto monks who had reached a certain level.
After a moment of silence, he asked: "What are you going to do next?"
"Let's go, let's go back first," Bai Yang said, shaking his head. No matter what happened, he had to go back and face it.
When Bai Yang and Shan Qiulin quickly approached the valley, at the gate of the valley, the whimpering little wolf suddenly became energetic and rushed out with a whimper.
The little mouse finally got free and ran away quickly, but was kicked away by the guard on the side...
