Chapter 65
Chapter 65
"That's why the ancestor was wrong!"
The door of the side hall was already opened, and a maid led three people to enter through the curtain.
The inside of the hall adhered to the usual style of Baili's family, and the pendants and decorations were all precious, just like when Baili Changheng came here nine years ago.
The three of Baili Changheng followed the maid into the east wing of the side hall. The table in the center was already filled with breakfast. Baili Changheng tilted his head, "Where is the owner?"
The maid bowed and saluted, "The head of the family should be here soon, the eldest son should sit down and eat some sweets to cushion his stomach?"
The maid brought a tray of exquisite pastries into the hall, knelt on the ground and placed a plate of Nanfeng pastries on the tray on the small table on the couch.
Baili Changheng hummed and waved the maid away.He looked around, and took a round stone from the shelf with ease, and sat down on the couch.
In the past, he often came to Bailixi's courtyard to look for Bailixi.Baili Xi was busy, either dealing with official business in the study or discussing with the elders in the meeting hall. He was too young to join in the fun, so he waited for Baili Xi to be free in the side hall.At that time, he was too impatient and impatient, and he often didn't want to wait for a while, and it was fine for people to leave, and he had to touch a good thing in the temple every time.
Often the good things that were put on display yesterday arrived at Baili Changheng's house today.Baili Xi didn't care much about these things, so he just followed him.
Come back this time, it's a different mentality.
Baili Changheng half leaned on the soft pillow, playing with the round jade in his hand.
Chang Sui naturally followed. He stood beside Baili Changheng, and he didn't look around. His eyes were only on Baili Changheng, not knowing what he was thinking.
This gaze was really too eager, Baili Changheng couldn't continue playing, he turned his head and looked up at him, Chang Sui didn't pay attention when he was wearing a white shirt before, but after seeing him, Baili Changheng realized something was wrong.
He frowned, "Where is Ni Lin?"
After a pause, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Baili Changheng sat up and asked again, "Where is Nilin?"
"If you want to enter Baili's house, you can't bring in the weapons from outside." Baili Qinan said, "Did you forget, sir?"
Baili Changheng said, "That's all for the side, Ni Lin also gave it?"
Baili Changheng suddenly thought of something, got up and grabbed Chang Sui's hand, rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, he saw the silver bracelet engraved with restricting mantras.
Baili Changheng was about to say something, when there was a noise outside, and the three of them looked up at the same time.
Baili Xi, who was dressed in a fine attire, led the people into the hall, walking towards this side without stopping.
Baili Changheng loosened the hand of the long follower, and saluted with Baili Qinan, "Patriarch."
Chang Sui saw that Baili Changheng also bowed, reluctantly, he bowed his hands and bowed a substandard salute.
Baili Xi was in a very good mood, he waved his hand to signal them to get up, "Sit down, and have breakfast with me."
The three sat down next to each other.
Baili Changheng had already eaten something before he came, but at this moment he was thinking about the silver ring on his wrist, holding his chopsticks for a long time without putting them down.
Baili Xi glanced at him, thinking that he couldn't eat his chopsticks because he couldn't see, so he hired a maid to serve him food.
Chang Sui frowned, calmly moved Baili Changheng's bowl of shrimp porridge to his side, and at the same time poked Baili Changheng under the table with his other hand.
Baili Changheng came back to his senses, only then did he realize that there was an extra maid beside him.
"No, the follower will pick up the food for me, you can go down."
The maid was at a loss and looked up at Bailixi.Baili Xi waved his hand to signal her to back down.
Afterwards, there was no conversation at the dinner table. They ate in silence for a while, and Baili Xi suddenly asked, "How is your health?"
This question was naturally asked by Baili Changheng. Baili Changheng put down his chopsticks and replied, "It's almost done. I haven't thanked the Patriarch yet."
Baili hummed, "Since it's almost ready, come with me to the conference hall after breakfast today."
Baili Changheng didn't want to break the rare time of peace, but it's one thing to say thanks, but another thing to agree with Baili Xi's actions.
These two things are clearly scored.
Baili Changheng was silent for a while, and didn't directly say that he would not go, but asked, "How did the Patriarch think of cooperating with the devil?"
As soon as these words came out, Baili Qinan carefully put down his chopsticks, intending to reduce his sense of existence.
Baili Xi raised his hand and waved away the other servants in the hall, and said, "Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"
Baili Changheng gave Chang Sui a bulging soup dumpling, and said softly, "Just ask."
"As I said last time, all I want is to strengthen the Baili family, make the Baili family the co-owner of China, and have the strength and rights that no one can shake." Baili Xi said, "As for the relationship with the devil Cooperation, but because it can grow the Baili family faster."
"But to achieve this goal, do we have to cooperate with the devil?" Baili Changheng said, "Can't you rely on yourself?"
"I heard that the one who is taking care of the Wildland for you now is a witch," Baili Xi said indifferently, "Didn't you also promote the Demon Race as your confidant? Why can't you accept this matter when it comes to Baili's house?"
"That's different."
Baili Changheng: "Changheng doesn't deny that there are some peace-loving demons among the demon clan. Changheng has no objection if you want to cooperate with them, but what are Guizao and Shadow Demon?"
"One is the great demon of the Nine Realms who launched the war between immortals and demons more than 300 years ago. It is a demon with no bottom line that can swallow even its own kind. The other is for survival, and can bow to the demon who betrayed it. "
Baili Changheng didn't understand, "One of them is greedy and the other has no bottom line. How can they be willing to help you if they treat their fellows like this?"
Baili Xi: "Of course I promised them benefits."
"They won't be satisfied." Baili Changheng shook his head, "300 years ago, Guizao had the idea of making the Demon Race the master of Shenzhou. After 300 years, his appetite can only be greater. Do you think You're using them, why aren't they using you?"
"Whatever you want, as long as you can grow the Baili family, I don't care about anything else."
"Under the nest, how can there be any eggs? Patriarch, you said that you did this for the inheritance of the Baili family. Indeed, now the Baili family seems to be getting stronger and stronger. It can be regarded as an indisputable existence in China, but if it is If it’s gone, where can we find Baili’s family?”
"I heard that when you were a child, you also saw the scene of demons raging in China. 300 years have passed. Do you want such a thing to happen again?"
Baili Changheng's questioning made Baili Xi's face more and more ugly, and he said coldly, "I will never let those demons enter Shenzhou."
"But they're already in."
Baili Changheng said: "Qi Tian fell, you didn't see what it looked like there. In just a few days, Qi Tian was killed and injured countless times, and the houses were completely destroyed. In the eyes of those demons, the human race is no different from animals. They use their fangs to sharpen teeth, biting off people's necks, ignoring their cries and struggles."
Baili Changheng closed his eyes, "You really should go and see."
Bailixi said disdainfully, "Qi Tian will fall, but in the final analysis, it is just that the city lord is not strong enough, but our Baili family is different. There are countless strong people in the Baili family, so naturally we will not fall to that stage."
"But how many of these powerhouses were obtained by relying on that Nine Realm Great Demon? And in order to cultivate so many powerhouses, how much flesh and blood did you provide to the demons?"
Baili Xi has no apologies for this, "As long as the Baili family can be strengthened, nothing else matters. Those with weak spiritual power should be considered as contributing their weak strength to the Baili family."
Baili Changheng's face turned ugly, "Those are all human lives."
He stood up, feeling that he couldn't finish the meal, "Patriarch, you have been blinded by interests."
"You saved me the day before yesterday. I thought that at least you still have a heart of love for these juniors. I came this morning and told myself many times on the way, don't quarrel with you, don't quarrel with you, but your actions and attitude really It's chilling."
"If you make a deal with the devil, you will eventually be swallowed by the devil." Baili Changheng gritted his teeth and said, "As the head of the Baili family, you are the god of everyone in the Baili family. With you here, this family should be safe."
"But what about you? Not only did you fail to protect the Baili family, you also sacrificed your own clansmen. In doing so, you are no different from Guizao Shadow Demons!"
"Presumptuous!" Baili Xi slammed his chopsticks on the table and stood up abruptly, "How can you say that about your elders!"
"I asked you to read the books of sages and filial piety, have you read the dog's stomach?"
Baili Changheng said every word: "Changheng doesn't know if the sage's book has been read in the stomach of a dog, but Changheng feels ashamed of his ancestor's etiquette for what you have done!"
Baili Xi thought that Baili Changheng wanted to strengthen the Baili family just like him, so he could understand his approach, but he didn't expect that he not only didn't understand half of it, but also dared to come and preach to him, and he was immediately dizzy, "This time Time is the old ancestor's idea, don't you want to say that the old ancestor was wrong?"
Baili Changheng didn't hesitate for a moment, and shouted sharply, "That's because the ancestor was wrong!"
Baili Xi suddenly raised his hand.
Seeing something wrong, Chang Sui got up and stopped in front of Baili Changheng, staring at Baili Xi vigilantly.
Baili Xi raised his hand for a while, but it didn't land on Baili Changheng's face. He flicked his sleeves angrily, turned his back to Baili Changheng and said in a deep voice, "How can you be fair to the ancestor when you say that?"
Baili Changheng was silent.
Baili Xi got angry for a while, and was brought back to his senses by Baili Changheng's old ancestor's mistake. He felt a little tired and walked two steps with his hands behind his back.
In front of the raised window, Baili Xi looked at the beautiful flowers still blooming outside, warmed by spiritual power, "You have grown up and have your own ideas. I don't blame you for arguing with me, but you can't." Say no to what the ancestor said."
It may be that people are getting old, and they always like to recall the past, Baili said slowly, "You are the first child of my Baili family, everyone is looking forward to your birth, and serve your mother carefully, but no matter how careful you are, It was still less than a month when you were born."
"Little group, you can't cry or laugh, everyone thinks you can't live, only the ancestor doesn't think so. He brought you into the stone room and used half of his spiritual power to bring you back to life. Retreat."
"When you learned to speak, the first thing you shouted was not father or mother, but ancestor."
"Later, you grew up a little, your health got better, and you played like crazy in the whole yard. The ancestor doted on you. As long as you go, the stone gates he retreated will be opened every time. Your father is soft-tempered and doesn't preach to you. Your mother It was even during that delivery that I was afraid that you would not survive, so I raised you carefully, wanting stars for stars, moons for moons, and the entire Baili family, you became a little ancestor."
"That's why you spoiled me so much that you got used to your lawless temperament later on. I dared to scribble on the booklets in my study, and dared to break into the sealed forbidden places."
"Now you dare to preach to the ancestor." Bailixi pointed to the door, "Don't tell me that, go to Lian Anfeng and tell the ancestor."
"See if you can say it."
Baili Changheng was silent.
Baili Xi was right, Baili Changheng couldn't say these words to the ancestor.Because the ancestor saved him, his spiritual power has not recovered so far, so he can only stay in the stone room to raise him.In the past, he was young and ignorant, he thought the white hair and white beard of the ancestor was very interesting, every time he saw Tian'er went to Lian Anfeng to knock on the door, the ancestor would open the door for him every time and let him fall into his arms.
Baili Changheng liked the ancestor the most when he was a child, because the ancestor would tell him various stories, about the children born between humans and demons who were not loved by anyone, about the love between humans and demons without good results, about how they lived more than 300 years ago. China's terroir.
But the ancestor loved him so much, why did he personally abolish his spiritual veins for a demon, and let the shadow demon plant cold poison on him?
Baili Changheng didn't understand.
No one in the room spoke, and the silence was scary for a while, Chang Sui stood beside Baili Changheng and looked at Baili Changheng, he had never seen Baili Changheng quarreling with others like this.
Baili Qinan stood in the corner long before the confrontation broke out, keeping his eyes on his nose and his heart, letting the wind blow from east to west, from north to south, I remained motionless.
Baili Changheng was silent, feeling that he couldn't stay here any longer, "Patriarch, Changheng resigns."
Bailixi waved his hand, "You can stand here and preach to me, because the ancestor took two silver swords, think about it yourself."
Baili Changheng retreated with his long entourage.
Baili Qinan stepped forward cautiously to help Baili Xi, and said in a low voice, "Patriarch, don't get too angry."
"It's not anger, it's just disappointment." Baili Xi sat down on the couch with Baili Qinan's strength, "It was really a mistake to send him to the wilderness that day. A group of people in the wilderness are not afraid of boiling water, but the long Heng also taught it badly."
"Go back and tell him, just say what I said, let him copy more books when he is free, and don't think so much about what he has all day long."
Baili Qinan answered in a low voice.
After Baili Changheng left the courtyard with his entourage, he did not return to Baili Qinan's courtyard, but ordered the coachman to take him to Lian'an Peak.
It's been more than a year since I came back, but I haven't paid my respects to my ancestors yet.
