He took out two small wine glasses from nowhere, poured a glass each for Shen Luo and himself, clinked them against each other, and started drinking.
Along the way, Bai Xiaotian was very knowledgeable about the restaurants and restaurants on this street and gave Shen Luo a good review.
When they passed a river that passed through the city, Bai Xiaotian, who had not looked out much, suddenly came to the car window and couldn't help but look out.
Shen Luo followed his gaze and saw that the buildings on both sides of the river were very dense. Most of them were hung with lights and colorful decorations. Even in the middle of the river, there were exquisite and unique boats docked.
"What place is this?" Shen Luo asked in confusion.
"Have you ever heard of 'staying in Qinhuai at night near a restaurant'? This is the bank of the Qinhuai River, a place to drink wine. I will bring you to see it some other time." Bai Xiaotian hugged Shen Luo's shoulders , said with a smile.
"No wonder the smell of powder is so strong... Speaking of which, we are considered to be members of the Taoist sect, so we should stay away from the land of fireworks." Shen Luo wrinkled his nose and said.
"You don't understand this, right? As the saying goes, all the people have lived in the mortal world, and the Taoist heart is like a rock. If you don't experience all the mortal world, how can you talk about leaving the mortal world?" Bai Xiaotian said disapprovingly.
The carriage passed all the way through the city. As it went south of the city, there were fewer people on the streets, and there were more and more deep houses and courtyards.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent courtyard.
Shen Luo got off the car and next to him was a stone lion as tall as a person. There was a hollow hydrangea under his feet, which looked majestic.
Ten feet away from the stone lion, there are three stone steps rising step by step. Behind it is a majestic gate tower two feet high. The main door in the middle is open, the ceremonial doors on both sides are closed, and the lintel hangs There is a huge plaque with the word "White Mansion" written in gold letters on a red background.
Shen Luo looked at the lion's ring on the red lacquer door, with seven or seventy-nine golden door nails inlaid, and he couldn't help but admire it secretly in his heart.
It seemed that a servant had already informed them before that there were already more than a dozen servants and maids standing outside the mansion, all of them waiting for them with respectful expressions.
Seeing Bai Jiangfeng and Bai Xiaotian arrive at the door, these people immediately came to greet them. Shen Luo followed Bai Xiaotian and was surrounded by this large group of people into the mansion.
When the group of people walked to the front yard, a white-haired old woman in luxurious clothes came up to them with the support of a maid.
When he saw Bai Xiaotian's injured state, his eyes were full of pity, but he couldn't help but blame and complain.
After Bai Xiaotian introduced her, she found out that she was his grandmother and the biological mother of Bai Hecheng, the current head of the Bai family.
The old woman loves her house very much, and she is very fond of Shen Luo, her grandson's good friend. She hurriedly ordered her to prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain him.
Shen Luo was flattered, but a little embarrassed.
At this moment, a supervisorA middle-aged man who looked like a family hurried over, saluted the old woman and Bai Jiangfeng, and said: "The master of the house is waiting in the backyard study, let the young master and the guests go there first."
< p>"Tian'er, then you go over first, let's talk about business." The old woman nodded after hearing this."Yes. After the grandson meets his father, he will accompany his grandmother later." Bai Xiaotian responded immediately.
After that, the three of them walked through a courtyard and two gardens and arrived at the backyard of the deep house.
Entering the study, Shen Luo met Bai Hecheng, the head of the Bai family. He thought he was a dignified middle-aged man, but he turned out to be a man in his thirties, who was no less handsome than Bai Xiao. A middle-aged man.
Seeing them come in, Bai Hecheng put down the books in his hands, stood up from behind the desk, looked at Bai Xiaotian and the two, a smile appeared on his face, and said:
"Looking at you, you must have suffered a lot on the road, right?"
"Fortunately, at the critical moment, the third grandfather arrived and scared away the demon girl, making my father worried." Bai Xiaotian Said with a smile.
As he spoke, he introduced Shen Luo to his father again, saying that his safe return this time was inseparable from his mutual support.
"You are coping well. With this experience, it is better than practicing for three years and working behind closed doors at home." Baihecheng nodded.
"Master, the situation this time is indeed dangerous. The person who is chasing them is a demon monk in the Bigu stage. It is indeed not easy for them to hold out until I arrive." Bai Jiangfeng stepped forward and held them. He recounted the scene when he met Bai Xiaotian and the two of them.
"Xiaotian is alive this time, I am really grateful to my third uncle." Baihecheng frowned after hearing this, and finally bowed to him and said.
"Master, there is no need to be so generous. Xiaotian is the future pillar of our Bai family. As an elder, this is what I should do." Bai Jiangfeng quickly stepped aside and did not accept the gift.
"Xiaotian, what exactly happened in the Spring and Autumn Temple? Please tell me the ins and outs in detail." Baihecheng looked at Bai Xiaotian and asked.
Bai Xiaotian recounted what happened on that day when he was about to visit the Spring and Autumn Temple, but he did not mention anything about the "Chun Yang Treasure Book".
Shen Luo then added some things he knew, but also concealed the matter about the "Pure Yang Book".
"I didn't expect that even the ancestor of Chunqiu Guan has suffered... Nephew Shen Shi, you can live in the Bai family safely for the time being. Later, I will unite with other immortal cultivating sects in the name of the Bai family. Investigate this matter and find out the real culprit behind the scenes," Bai Hecheng said as his expression gradually became serious after hearing the end.
"Uncle, this junior privately believes that there are two extremely important characters in this sect incident, one is Wang Qingsong who betrayed the sect, and the other is the ancient spirit that has submerged in the demon clan. If we can catch them First, you can know the truth of the matter," Shen Luo said suddenly.
"These two people are indeed the root cause of the changes in Spring and Autumn View." Bai HeCheng glanced at Shen Luo and said with deep approval.
"Junior, please ask your uncle to find out the real culprit behind the scenes. On behalf of all the dead souls in Spring and Autumn Temple, Shen Luo would like to thank your uncle in advance. Thank you for your great righteousness." Shen Luo thanked him and bowed deeply after speaking.
"My dear nephew, please forgive me! Your energy must have been severely damaged by your adventures all the way. Xiaotian, please take nephew Shen Shi to have a good rest." Baihecheng waved his hand and said.
After the two said goodbye, Bai Hecheng looked at Bai Jiangfeng and asked:
"Third uncle, have you noticed anything wrong with this Shen Luo?"

"Judging from his words and deeds, this person was probably from a wealthy family before he joined the Spring and Autumn Temple. Xiaotian trusted this person quite a bit, and he and Xiaotian supported each other along the way, so he could persist until I came to rescue him. Look at this person The technique is not from the Xiaomaoshan lineage, it must be another chance, and he may be the only living disciple of Chunqiu Guan besides Xiaotian." Bai Jiangfeng heard this, thought for a while, and replied.
"Because of this, I feel that this person is not simple. He may be hiding the secret of Chunqiu Guan. I will arrange for someone to investigate this person's origin. If there are no problems, I will find an opportunity for Xiaotian to meet him. Let’s talk about whether you are willing to join my Bai family in the future and take it for my use. Nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic. Small-scale immortal sects such as Chunqiu Guan are being destroyed frequently in the entire Tang Dynasty. Our Bai family must also do it. Step up and accumulate strength," Bai Hecheng nodded.
"My Bai family can temporarily protect themselves in this situation. More and more sects in the outside world have become convinced of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and the entire cultivation world seems to be quite peaceful and stable on the surface. , but there are already undercurrents underground. I don’t think there is much hope of finding the mastermind behind the Chunqiu Guan incident, so my family will have to conduct an internal investigation." Bai Jiangfeng suggested after hearing this.
"What we can do now is to thoroughly investigate the entire family to prevent demon clan from getting in. The day before yesterday, the ancestor talked about the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and he also felt a lot of pressure." Bai He Cheng said slowly.
"Jiang Feng, Crane City..."
At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded directly in their hearts.
