"Brother Ning," Bai Jing opened the door and walked in.
Ning Tao followed Bai Jing and walked in. He took out his indestructible fan and fanned himself while walking. Bai Sheng is an old demon. If he is a demon, he will harm people, so he has to guard against it.
The room behind the door is spacious and bright, with a large amount of golden nanmu used. When the sun shines, the house is filled with golden light, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
An old man in white clothes stood in front of the window, with his back to the door. He had long pale hair and a thin figure. Although his back was towards the door, as soon as he entered the door, Ning Tao felt like he was watching him. There seems to be an invisible net in the void of this room, and everything is under the control of the other party.
"Father, Doctor Ning is here." Bai Jing said respectfully.
Ning Tao said hello, "Hello, Senior Bai."
Bai Sheng turned around, with eyebrows like black daisy, eyes like red phoenixes, small cherry mouth, red lips and white teeth. His face has soft lines, smooth and delicate skin, without a trace of wrinkles.
Just this face can instantly kill all the little chicks in the world.
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Bai Sheng to be such a white saint.
Bai Sheng smiled toothily, stepped forward slowly, and extended a hand to Ning Tao, "Dr. Ning, I have admired you for a long time, and now that I have seen you, your reputation is indeed well-deserved."
His voice was thin, with insufficient yang energy and too much yin energy.
Only then did Ning Tao come back to his senses. He also stretched out his hand and shook it. Bai Sheng's hands were also smooth and delicate, as soft as boneless, and more beautiful than most women's hands.
"Senior Bai, you are so grateful. I really didn't expect Senior Bai to be such a beautiful Senior Bai." Ning Tao also said a polite word.
Bai Sheng burst into laughter, and his smile was charming.
Ning Tao suddenly had a feeling of getting along with special people in Thailand, but he kept this feeling in his heart and did not show it at all. In addition, during this short period of time together, although he did not use the ability to see or smell, he still smelled the smell of snakes from Bai Sheng's body. He was sure that Bai Sheng was also a snake demon.
"You are really good at talking. No wonder Qing Zhui likes you so much." Bai Sheng did not let go of Ning Tao's hand, and pulled Ning Tao towards a tea table. As he walked, he said: "Bai Jing, make two cups of tea." , I want to have a good chat with Dr. Ning.”
"Okay, I'll be here soon." Bai Jing went down.
Bai Sheng took Ning Tao's hand and came to the tea table before letting go of Ning Tao's hand, "Please sit down."
As soon as Bai Sheng let go of his hand, Ning Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. During the time when Bai Sheng held his hand and walked over, a layer of goosebumps appeared on his back.
After the two of them sat down, Bai Sheng said: "Qing Zhui is a child with a hard life. I thought she wouldn't live long, but I didn't expect you to show up and cure her demon bone. You are a cultivating doctor who graduated from medicine to Taoism. It’s very rare now.”
Ning Tao said: "Everyone has his own destiny. I think the encounter between Qing Zhui and I was also an arrangement of fate."
Bai Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Tao, "What about our meeting?"
Ning Tao's tongue suddenly felt like it was tied in a knot. How should he answer these words
"Hehehe..." Bai Sheng said with a smile: "Then let me open the skylight and speak frankly. Qingzhui is my daughter. You took her away without even a betrothal gift. This can't be justified, right?"
Ning Tao said calmly: "Senior Bai, I wonder what kind of betrothal gift you want?"
"That depends on whether your heart is sincere enough." Bai Sheng said lightly.
At this time, Bai Jing brought two cups of tea, one cup was placed in front of Bai Sheng, and one cup was placed in front of Ning Tao. Then she said with a smile: "Father, there are many treasures in Brother Ning's clinic. He wants to It’s not a problem at all to get a bride price worthy of my sister.”
Bai Sheng looked at Ning Tao with a smile, his beautiful Danfeng eyes full of expectation.
Ning Tao was silent for a moment and said, "How about I give you the big cauldron from the clinic?"
"Kekeke." Bai Jing said with a smile, "That cauldron is too big and too heavy. I can't move it."
"Drink tea, drink tea, don't worry about the betrothal gift." Bai Sheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea soup, then moved his eyes to the window.
Ning Tao also picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The tea was good, refreshing in the mouth and fragrant on the lips and teeth.
At this moment, Li Xiaofeng's voice suddenly came from outside the window, "Miss Qingzhui, why are you here?"
Ning Tao's heart moved and he hurriedly got up and came to the window. He looked out of the window and saw Qing Zhui at a glance. She stood under a stone tower in the backyard, looking nervous. On a gravel road, Li Xiaofeng, Xue Baoer and Xin Zhiyu were walking towards Qing Zhui.
Qing Zhui seemed to want to leave, but couldn't.
Ning Tao suddenly understood that there was something wrong with the stone tower. A ball of anger suddenly ignited in his heart, and he said angrily: "Senior Bai, what do you mean?"
Bai Sheng came to Ning Tao's side, and his tone of voice changed, "Doctor Ning, although you are Qing Zhui's demon master, I am Qing Zhui's adoptive father. Do you want to take him from my side without paying any price?" Let her go, do you think this is appropriate? I want your little weapon-making tripod. If you give it to me, I will give Qing Zhui to you. From now on, she will be yours."
What he wants is the broken cauldron.
Ning Tao suppressed the anger in his heart, "What else?"
Bai Sheng said calmly: "You have also seen that the rich man named Li Xiaofeng likes Qing Zhui very much. His family owns a United Communications Company, and now the technology company is booming. If I marry Qing Zhui to Li Xiaofeng, I will be happy. If the Li family is wiped out in three years, wouldn’t the United Communications Company belong to me? And that rich man named Xin Zhiyu, he likes Bai Jing, I will marry Bai Jing to him, and the Xin family will be wiped out in three to five years. Clean, isn’t the Xin family’s Hongtu Group also mine?”
This is tantamount to speaking openly.
When he first met Bai Sheng, Ning Tao thought that he just looked "yin" enough, but he didn't expect that his heart was even more "yin", and he was so selfish and greedy! He kept saying that Bai Jing and Qing Zhui were his daughters, but in his eyes, he only regarded Bai Jing and Qing Zhui as his property and tools to make money for him!
However, even when Bai Sheng said such words in person, Bai Jing did not react with any anger or discomfort, but only with humility and respect.
After Bai Sheng revealed his true face, Ning Tao calmed down and said, "You are a monster and don't care about training. Why do you need so much money?"
Bai Sheng sneered, "Putting cultivation first? Today's world lacks spiritual energy, and those who follow the old path will die. Whether they are demons or cultivators, they have to adapt to survive. Some Taoist friends abroad combine cultivation with technology. I have achieved good results. I also understand that I want money, and I want to enter Taoism through money and take a new path of training.”
"Entering Taoism through money?" Ning Tao couldn't understand.
Bai Shengyun said calmly: "Is this difficult to understand? Money can make ghosts go around, money can make a person crazy, money can buy a woman's chastity, a man's loyalty, money can also make a husband and wife turn against each other, Brothers become enemies. Money can even make one country attack another country and bring ruin to all. It is the source of all evil and the root of all desires. As long as you have enough money, you can build yourself up. My own world, in which everyone will worship you, be loyal to you, and have endless desire for you. What I want is the worship of the world, the loyalty of the world, and their desires. Is it like this? There is no God in the world. If more people believe, there will be God.”
Ning Tao was shocked. Bai Sheng's words gave him a new understanding of the current world of cultivation. He has already seen a magic weapon that is suspected to be Nicholas Conti's and is combined with technology, and now he has come into contact with a brand new cultivation concept from Bai Sheng, which is to enter the Tao through money!
All things are evolving, and under the natural law of survival of the fittest, all living beings are competing with God for their fate. How can cultivators and demons dare to fall behind
Ning Tao was thinking a lot, and his eyes moved to Qing Zhui again. Qing Zhui seemed not to be able to see him, nor could he see Li Xiaofeng, Xin Zhiyu and Xue Baoer. She looked very nervous and anxious, but she did not dare to take a step away from the circle drawn under the stone tower.
Bai Jing seemed to have guessed Ning Tao's thoughts. She said: "That is the Kunlun Yellow refined by my adoptive father. It and the stone tower are like a step prison. My sister dare not step out. Due to the influence of Kunlun Yellow, she cannot see it." People outside can’t hear the sounds outside.”
Kunlun yellow is realgar, and snakes are afraid of realgar.
Ning Tao said coldly: "She is your sister, and you have a unique place in her heart. Do you have the heart to treat her like this?"
Bai Jing said calmly: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished. I used to be imprisoned by my adoptive father."
Bai Sheng said: "Doctor Ning, I have made my words clear enough and I am polite to you. Now it is time for you to show your sincerity. Will you give me the tripod or not?"
Ning Tao said: "What I don't like the most is someone threatening me. Let Qing Zhui be released first, and then we can talk. You will see my sincerity."
Bai Sheng said: "I can let you go first, but you'd better be honest. If you take a wrong step on some roads, you will be doomed." After a pause, he said again: "Xian'er, go and clean up the dirty things in front of your Senior Sister Qing. Sweep it.”
His voice was light, but it was a directional transmission.
Liu Xian'er walked out of a thatched cottage behind the stone tower, took a broom and dustpan, walked quickly to the stone tower, and started to sweep away the Kunlun Huang that trapped Qing Zhui.
Wu Xiaolin also came out, carrying a tea tray with three cups of brewed tea and an iron kettle filled with water. The three cups of tea were obviously meant to be served to the three guests Xin Zhiyu, Li Xiaofeng and Xue Baoer.
Before Liu Xian'er could sweep away all the Kunlun Yellow on the ground, Qing Zhui jumped out of the gap eagerly.
But before Qing Zhui looked over, Bai Sheng suddenly waved his hand, and the wooden window made of golden nanmu closed with a crash.
"Dr. Ning, I have released him. Where is the sincerity you mentioned?" Bai Sheng looked at Ning Tao with a strange look that could penetrate his heart.
