But I don’t know if Young Master Xiao said that Johnny was in debt, which made him angry. In short, after the old man told us where he was going, he became so angry that he stopped paying attention to us.
Even after the luggage was packed, we got into the pickup truck and drove away, leaving a group of us standing there looking at each other.
"You are so stingy. I don't know how you became close friends with people like my uncle." Faced with the plume of exhaust left by the pickup truck, Xiao Chengqian curled his lips and said he was not slow.
Brother Chengxin walked slowly in front of Xiao Chengqian, smiled, and suddenly quietly knocked on Young Master Xiao again where Johnny had just knocked, and said: "Stingy? This can barely be understood as cute!" How did I become close friends with you when you are so stinky? Tsk...especially that mouth."
Xiao Chengqian's sore spot was tapped again, and he couldn't help but scream, but he didn't care about it with Brother Chengxin. He said it was for the sake of being a best friend.
Chengzhen praised Xiao Xiao for his magnanimity, and he just looked on happily like a fool.
I looked at this group of people helplessly and realized that I really had no choice but to wait until they finished talking before we could discuss it formally. I turned around to find Wal-Mart, only to find that Brother Chengqing and Lu Shan had already been communicating with Wal-Mart about asking for a car. , keeping up with Johnny, the grumpy, stingy old man.
Walmart never spares any effort in showing its efficiency. In less than ten minutes, several cars and even our luggage appeared in front of us.
Doing the math, it should have been driven here by car.
"I thought this time it was time to start my adventure career, so I brought my own luggage with me." The fog had dissipated at this time, and India's usual somewhat harsh sunshine in winter poured down, and Wall The horse stood in such sunshine, smiling with its teeth and claws spread out, and its white teeth almost blinded me.
"Um, I'm speechless. What do you think an adventurous career is? Ci Ma Er was stunned!" Looking at Wal-Mart's arrogant look, Hui Gen'er, who had been trying to be steady, finally couldn't help but curse.
But because Wal-Mart didn't understand Ci Ma Er was stunned and didn't reply at all, which made Hui Gen'er feel lonely this time.
Wal-Mart prepared good cars, all Mercedes-Benz. Not long after they drove out of the city, they quickly caught up with the pickup truck containing Johnny's luggage, and then followed behind.
The state where Raipur is located has the largest forest coverage area in India, so not long after leaving the city, the heaven and earth showed us the beautiful scenery along the way.
It was rare for Wal-Mart to drive by himself. He held the steering wheel with one hand and dropped the other hand outside the car window. He tapped his hand on the car window and hummed an Indian song.
The singing is very good, and one has to believe that all Indians are good at singing and dancing.
"What are you singing about?" Xiao Chengqian didn't know what was going on. He was sitting in the back seat of the car wearing a pair of sunglasses and began to ask about the content of Wal-Mart's lyrics.
"It's a song for a traveler who is about to take an adventure. He cheers himself up and sings, full of longing for the future." Walma didn't know what he thought of again, and he laughed again with his teeth bared.
Xiao Chengqian slapped his forehead helplessly, and I realized once again what an unreliable group of people we were, so I simply took out a hat, lowered the brim, and dozed off in the passenger seat of the car.
Perhaps it was because a big worry in my heart had been resolved, so I slept in a daze until dusk when I woke up.
At this time, a ray of sunset was already hanging on the horizon, the temperature had turned slightly cooler, and the somewhat vicious sunshine had faded.
What comes into view is the already sparse woods, and in the distance is a large piece of yellowish grass with sparse woods inside.
On the periphery of the grassland, there is a fence surrounded by seabuckthorn branches. Occasionally, you can see cattle and sheep. It is an indescribably beautiful scenery.
"This should be a private manor. In fact, I also own such a manor, just one." Wal-Mart explained to us while driving.
While I responded, I saw that the pickup truck in front of me had obviously slowed down and was heading towards another branch of the road. We quickly followed, but Wal-Mart's face showed surprise. Expression: "Could this private manor belong to Uncle Johnny? What is his hobby? Owning such a large and beautiful manor, but living in a slum in the city?"
"When wealth makes you tired, it is very interesting to occasionally experience a different kind of life." Xiao Chengqian continued a sentence without saltiness, and then added: "You are not rich to a certain extent, so naturally you don't understand This feeling of loneliness in life when one is in a high place.”
"Does that mean you have reached a certain level of wealth? What kind of state is that?" Walma's expression was unusually curious.
Xiao Chengqian wanted to answer again, but Brother Chengxin coughed mercilessly and said: "A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, are you right, Young Master Xiao? You should just follow us poor people, don't miss it" We were so rich in the past!”
As a result, after Xiao Chengqian heard this, he started fighting with Brother Chengxin in the back seat.
Walma frowned and said: "Sometimes I really don't understand the way Chinese people express friendship, just like I don't understand why family members must wear *** when speaking, but I will definitely adapt to this way. Yes, right, Chengyi?”
While I was talking, Wal-Mart punched me in the stomach very innocently. I looked at Wal-Mart resentfully, "Are you going to imitate him so quickly?" Is this retribution for teaching Wal-Mart how to talk like a bandit? What's even more disgusting is that they are learning to express friendship, and I can't attack others.
While we were jostling, the car had stopped at the entrance of the manor. This was a rather large iron gate, with a brick wall of about 5 meters next to it. The top of the wall was covered with flowers that I didn't recognize. They were huge. Red, purple, blue, extremely beautiful.
Johnny jumped out of the car and said something in Indian to the surveillance camera on the door, and the iron door opened.
"Welcome to my home." After the iron door opened, Johnny said loudly to us, and then walked quickly to our car and knocked on the window.
Brother Chengxin lowered the car window, and Johnny suddenly yelled at Xiao Chengqian: "Look at me like this, do I look like a debtor? Do I?"
Xiao Chengqian was so helpless that he could only beg for mercy and said: "Master Johnny, I was wrong, okay? Do you need to worry about it for so long?"
Johnny snorted and said, "Please call me Uncle Johnny." After that, he turned around and walked away, looking like a proud rooster.
--------Dividing line----------
In order to welcome us, Johnny prepared a sumptuous dinner for us, but for some unknown reason, none of the dishes on the table were local Indian dishes. Instead, they were mainly Western food, supplemented by Chinese dishes.
I can't describe this manor, just because I don't have time to visit it. I only know that this private manor is very big, and the main villa in this manor is extremely luxurious.
Take the restaurant we are in as an example. The chandelier is a complicated and luxurious crystal chandelier, and the antique auxiliary lamp holder next to it is made of gold and gems at a glance.
The tableware and dishes used are all high-quality Chinese bone china. Although I don’t know if they are antiques, I know they are valuable based on their exquisiteness. The knives, forks and chopsticks used in my hands are all made of sterling silver inlaid with various gemstones. , Johnny uses practical details to tell us that he is a richer person than Wal-Mart.
"Actually, I rarely come to this manor. The servants here are like running water. They change every three years! In addition to my personal housekeeper, there are also personal servants who take care of my daily life. Their family has always I have lived here for more than 100 years. I feel that the years have been so long that I am too lazy to remember my specific age, and these closest servants have also changed for three generations! But they are always loyal and will always protect me. They don’t keep any secrets, and don’t even ask me why I am still alive at such an old age and appear in this manor from time to time? I am their myth, but I often feel the helplessness of life and the hardship that cannot be relieved." Johnny was not a man of words, so while having dinner with us, he told us something about him and this manor.
After saying this, he took a sip of red wine from the crystal glass, and then ate a large piece of tender and juicy steak before continuing: "You must be curious, how do I exist in this world? In fact, India also has its own circle of cultivators, who use all their strength to protect the bodies of cultivators. Just like in China, some old monsters who have lived a long time have disappeared from everyone's sight. No one suspects anything or asks anything. Even future generations don’t know about their existence. At most, they thought they were missing! It’s just that the protection here is limited to the religion you believe in. I later became a Taoist, and I was ostracized. I used my own methods to hide myself. I don’t want to shock the world yet, because my family is very big, and I am still concerned about my family. I was the former patriarch. Speaking of which, I have a son and a daughter, but they passed away and disappeared a long time ago. Now they are active in Our family is my fourth direct descendant, and they don’t know that I’m still alive. Even because of how long it’s been, I doubt whether we still have a family relationship?”
As Johnny was talking, we unconsciously stopped eating and began to listen attentively. The words seemed to be very ordinary, but they involved the true and top living conditions and secrets of this circle, which also made us... We feel the most profound sadness, but more than 100 years can make people lonely to such an extent that even family ties are isolated.
Johnny seemed not to notice us, but he ate meat and drank red wine sweetly. Finally, he said: "This manor is the only thing I have reserved for myself through some means. Others are not allowed to get involved, not even for future generations." And I can't use it in the slightest. But soon, I will have nothing to worry about. This manor will be handed over to my most loyal servants, and I will go on the most glorious journey of my life."
"Uncle Johnny, what do you mean...?" My heart started beating wildly.
"Now that you have found me, don't you know? I will take you to Penglai to truly awaken your master!" Johnny shook the crystal glass in his hand, and the red wine was as bright as a victor under the light. Putting roses.
"What? Penglai? How did you get involved in this? God, don't tell me this is a coincidence." The most agitated person was Xiao Chengqian. He stood up from his seat all of a sudden, causing the cups and bowls beside him to get messed up. The disc made a random noise and seemed unusually out of control.
"What do you mean?" Johnny was more surprised now.
But my hands couldn't help but tremble. I pinched myself forcefully and used the pain to calm myself down. Then I pulled Xiao Chengqian next to me and sat down. Then I took a deep breath and said: " Dear Uncle Johnny, can I ask you a hypothetical question?”
"Well, of course." Johnny's eyes still flickered with curiosity, but he was calmer and waited for my questions.
"When you say Penglai, just say Penglai. What kind of place is this? I assume that without your guidance, can anyone really go to Penglai and then embark on the road to Kunlun?" I stared at Johnny. , although this is very rude, but it is related to Master's whereabouts, and I can't care about it anymore. I thought of a certain possibility, and the worry was almost swallowing me up.
