The third brother Wen who was greeted by Bai Zizai was an old man in black shirt who kept walking around in the stone room. His name was Wen Renhou, he was the master of the Shandong Eight Immortals Sword, and he was a good friend of Bai Zizai when he was young, and they had a good friendship with him.
But when he saw Bai Zizai, he didn't show any surprise at seeing an old friend again. He just nodded calmly and asked, "Why did you come today?"
Bai Zizai's white beard trembled slightly, and he stared at him and said: "Ten years ago, I heard that you were invited to Xia Ke Island to drink Laba porridge. I only said that you... I only said that you had passed away long ago. I cried a few times. Who knew?
You're fine..."
Wen Renhou interrupted: "How did you know that I am still alive and well? Hey, I am studying excellent martial arts here, why did I die? It's a pity, it's a pity that you came late. Look, the first sentence 'Zhao Kemanhu'
Ying', the annotation for the word 'Hu'..." As he spoke, he pointed to the small characters on the stone wall and read it to Bai Zizai.
Bai Zizai was happy to meet his old friend. He wanted to ask about his visit and find out about the situation on the island. He had no time to care about martial arts. He took a moment to catch his breath and interjected: "Brother Wen, how have you been living in the past ten years?"
How about it? Why don't you bring a letter to your home in Shandong?"
Wen Renhou stopped singing and shook his head, his eyes were as wide as lanterns, and he reproached: "What did you say? This illustration of the ancient poem 'Xia Ke Xing' contains the most profound and profound martial arts secrets in the past and present. We have tried our best, but we still can't
After understanding one or two of them, how can you be distracted from the mundane things in the world? Look at the person in the picture, he is definitely not..." Without saying a few words, he turned to the diagram again.
Bai Zizai suddenly became speechless, wondering if his old friend had gone mad. He then turned to look at the stone wall, wondering how this poor illustration made an old man make the decision to abandon his family and career.
As far as the eye can see, there is a young scholar carved on the smooth stone wall, holding a fan in his left hand and flying palm with his right hand, his expression is very elegant and unrestrained.
Before Bai Zizai could think deeply about the metaphor, Wen Renhou stepped forward.
Seeing that Bai Zifeng was paying attention to the illustrations, he finally had a happy smile on his face, just like the expression of a child sharing toys with his friends, and said: "Brother Bai, I figured it out recently. The person in the picture is elegant and elegant.
It should be a feminine image, but the annotation says..."
Bai Zizai was interrupted from thinking, and for the first time he felt that the illustration was somewhat interesting. However, he still remembered his situation and said perfunctorily: "Not bad, not bad." Then he waved behind him and said: "Brother Wen,
This is my grandson-in-law. Do you think his character is passable? Boy, come here and meet Grandpa Wen San."
Shi Potian came over and knelt down to Wen Renhou, kowtowed and said, "Hello, Grandpa Wen San."
Wen Renhou nodded slightly and said, "Okay, okay!" But he didn't even look at Shi Potian and continued to discuss the diagrams with Bai Zizai.
Bai Zizai seemed to have gained something from his brief thinking just now, and he no longer cared about Shi Potian and started discussing with him on the spot.
Shi Potian saw the two of them arguing endlessly, and after listening to a few words, he couldn't understand, so he had to return to his parents.
Shi Qing and Min Rou had been paying attention to him, and they were very happy to see him back.
Shi Qing came from the ancient saying that a father should be a strict father, and because he and Shi Potian had not seen each other for more than ten years, they did not know how to express their feelings, so they just nodded to him as a greeting.
Min Rou didn't care about that. After all, Shi Potian was the flesh that fell from her body, so she was able to complete the transformation of her identity and role in a very short period of time, from a passerby to a loving mother.
She grabbed Shi Potian's rough hands with her tender hands, raised her eyes to look at her son who was half a head taller than her, with boundless tenderness in her eyes, and asked with concern: "Tian'er, are you cold?"
From the banquet hall to now, Shi Potian still hasn't adapted to his parents' sudden identity change and their concern for him. He twitched his hand lightly but it didn't move. He could only shake his head in embarrassment.
Min Rou asked again: "Tian'er, are you hungry?"
Shi Potian wanted to continue shaking his head, but after being reminded, he suddenly felt that the seven or eight bowls of Laba porridge he had just eaten in his stomach seemed to be really digested, and he replied blankly: "I'm hungry."
As soon as she heard that he was hungry, Min Rou immediately smiled, let go of Shi Potian's hand, pointed to a corner of the stone room and said: "Tian'er, there are some cakes on the table there, you can fill your stomach first. I asked the servants here, I think
You can ask them to do whatever you want to eat. Come on, I'll take you there."
After saying that, she held Shi Potian's hand and was about to take action, but Shi Qing stretched out a hand to hold her.
Min Rou turned around and said coquettishly: "Brother, if you want to eat, go and get it yourself. I'll take Tian'er there first."
Shi Qing's eyelids twitched, he looked around, then coughed twice awkwardly, and whispered: "Rourou, Tian'er is a big boy now, he can eat by himself."
After hearing this, Shi Potian quickly nodded and said: "Shi...Mother, I can..."
After saying a few words, he couldn't say any more, because at this moment, Min Rou's eyes were red and tears flowed out.
Shi Potian was dumbfounded immediately, thinking that he had made Min Rou angry, so he hesitated and said: "Mother... what's wrong with you, mother? I listen to you, let's go together."
Unexpectedly, Min Rou laughed, silently but extremely happy. She let go of Shi Potian's hand and said softly: "Tian'er, mother is fine, mother is happy. You go, your father and I will
Just waiting for you here."
Shi Potian agreed and walked to the dining table confused.
When Min Rou saw him leaving, she immediately turned around and hugged Shi Qing, choking with sobs: "Brother, did you hear it? Tian'er is calling my mother!"
Shi Qing was also inexplicably moved, and he didn't care about the looks around him. He hugged Min Rou and stroked her back gently, saying: "I heard it, I heard it, he is calling you mother."
"Woooo..."
When Shi Potian came to the dining table, he was still stunned. He never understood why Min Rou was crying and laughing. Suddenly, a hand was slapped on his shoulder, which jolted him back to his senses.
Turning around, Shi Potian immediately showed a smile on his face and asked, "Brother Li, are you hungry too?"
Li Jiang waited for a long time before Shi Potian had the opportunity to act alone, so he stopped talking nonsense and shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I'm just a little upset."
"What are you upset about?" Shi Potian asked.
Li Jiang sighed: "Pin Tao claims to be both civilized and military, but today we find out that he is just a frog in the well. He is not afraid of Brother Shi's jokes when he says it, but Pindao can't understand these illustrations!"
"Ah?" Shi Potian almost exclaimed. He couldn't believe that Daozhang Li, who had impressed him with his knowledge and wisdom along the way, could not understand the illustrations on the stone wall.
Shi Potian observed Li Jiang carefully for a moment, and saw that his brows were deeply furrowed and his distressed face didn't look fake. He couldn't help but empathize with him, and stammered to comfort him: "Brother Li, I don't understand either... Oh,
No, no, I don’t know a word, I can’t understand anything.”
Li Jiang smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Brother Shi, actually I don't have to come this time. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Shi Potian asked.
Li Jiang stared into Shi Potian's eyes and said seriously: "Because Brother Li encountered a big obstacle in his martial arts practice, I hope to come here to find the answer." Then he lowered his eyelids and sighed: "It's a pity... It's a pity that the world is not kind to all things.
Being a rotten dog, you will not care for me alone."
Shi Potian couldn't understand what Li Jiang was saying, but by looking at his expression and listening to his tone, he knew that he had not achieved his goal. He immediately felt sad for him and said, "Brother Li, why don't I go help you and beg Zhang San and Li Si for justice?"
Brother, look at them..."
Li Jiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and said: "Brother Li understands Brother Shi's intention. This illustration is so exquisite that even the master of Longmu Second Island has not studied it for decades... ugh!"
Li Jiang stopped talking and looked at Shi Potian with bright eyes.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Jiang's surprise, Shi Potian couldn't help asking.
Li Jiang touched the hard stubble on his chin and said: "The truth of many things in the world is often very simple, but it is complicated by people's suspicion. Brother Shi, you are different. You are simple and kind-hearted, without any scheming, just like a piece of cake."
Pure gold and pure jade, contrary to the illustrations, may have miraculous effects!"
"Me?" Shi Potian still didn't quite understand, but he knew that Brother Li was praising him, so he spoke in surprise.
"Yes, that's you." Li Jiang nodded heavily and continued, "I wonder if Brother Shi is willing to help me?"
All the preparations that Li Jiang had painstakingly made finally took effect. Shi Potian immediately felt the strong emotion of "dying for a confidant." His blood surged and he said excitedly: "I do! Brother Li, how can I help you?"
?”
Li Jiang looked at Shi Potian's sincere eyes, feeling guilty in his heart, but was diluted by a stronger impulse, so he calmed down and said, "Just look at it and tell me what you feel.
can."
"So simple?" Shi Potian scratched his head and asked.
"It's that simple." Li Jiang replied.
In fact, Li Jiang could have told Shi Potian to just look at the graphics, but he was afraid that by imprisoning his thinking, he would end up losing more than he gained.
Because Li Jiang himself had tried it just now, but the experiment failed.
He knew how to look at graphics, but he didn't know whether it was because of preconceptions or because he was not strong in image thinking and was not born an artistic person. He had no feeling at all when looking at graphics. These abstract stone carvings were all white drawings with crude lines and no imagination.
Being strong really has nothing to do with martial arts or acupoints.
However, Shi Potian was different. He was favored by God, and his talent was so strong that he would have been able to achieve it! So it was good to just let nature take its course, but it would be unsightly to intervene rashly.
Shi Potian went to say hello to his parents. Since there was no safety threat for the time being, Shi Qing was relieved that he would follow Li Jiang, so they did not stop him. But Min Rou was reluctant to leave Shi Potian and told him to eat together every half day.
After saying hello to them, Shi Potian went to find Grandma Shi and Axiu. Axiu and Shi Potian made their minds clear, and the elders agreed, so the two children were full of affection and secretly hid in the corner and whispered,
It inevitably took a little more time.
Li Jiang stood in front of the dining table and ate intermittently, rolling his eyes and secretly regretting:
"I should have known better not to take these people to the island! It seems like this, Shi Potian is really busy every day, with his parents, grandparents, lover, just saying hello, meeting and talking takes up a lot of time. Don't get involved with him.
Well, but it delayed him from practicing "Xia Ke Xing", and he really felt like crying without tears."
