In the next few days, except for the aftermath of rumors, the siblings lived peacefully at school. On Saturday, when Baitang was about to go out, he realized that Bai Nan had left the Bai family early in the morning. After she confessed to Bo Cheng that she would not come back for lunch, she asked the driver to take her to the Antique Street in City S. This was the news she got from Zhou Ting a few days ago.
After getting out of the car, Baitang found the entrance according to the address provided by Zhou Ting. After entering, seeing all kinds of antiques in sight, he put away his phone with satisfaction. Zhou Ting told her that although this antique street is not big, there are many high-quality goods in it, and individual shopkeepers have a wide range of connections, so she can ask them for directions on the goods she particularly wants.
Bai Tang came here just to try his luck, to see if he could meet the materials needed by Jie Jing, and to find a few useful gadgets. So I started shopping from the stalls on the ground. The stall owners here did not look down on her for being young, but instead asked her what she wanted with a smile, or directly recommended the items they sold to her.
Baitang responded perfunctorily, and at the same time used his soul power to filter the items on the booth. As a result, her reading speed became very fast. The stall owners took a few glances at her and then went to the next stall, thinking that this girl was just here to gain insight, so most of the original enthusiasm was gone, and she was left alone. Take your time.
Baitang was a little disappointed after brushing several booths without any results. Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation from the next door. She turned around and looked over, and it came from a lotus platform with no visible material. She took the lotus stand over and looked at it. It looked like copper and iron, and it was quite heavy, but there was nothing special about it. There was even a crack in one of the petals.
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
"This, little sister, this is a good thing, it is passed down from our family's ancestors. Let me tell you..."
Baitang directly pointed out the cracks to the boss, and interrupted him with a smile: "Don't think that I just want to fool me when I was young, this lotus platform probably doesn't even have a date, and it's not made of jade. It doesn't have much collection value, so why don't you just tell me how much you can sell it to me?"
The stall owner couldn't see her, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly charged a big price. Then the two went back and forth to grind the price, and Baitang finally bought it for thirty.
With the first harvest, Baitang was in a good mood and continued shopping. During the period, she came across a few more copper coins that had no dynastic records for Dad Bai to make a talisman array, and she bought them all, still five.
Successive harvests made Baitang think that her good luck would continue, but after walking the entire antique street, there was still no new harvest. Sighing on the spot, Baitang calmed down his feeling of disappointment, did not push any further, and left with the two trophies. Next time, maybe she can try her luck at an auction.
After that, Baitang asked the driver to take her to another place to buy some useful materials. It's just that on the way out after buying the medicinal materials, I ran into Zhao Zhongchen.
Zhao Zhongchen was very impressed with Baitang, as soon as he saw her, he remembered the scene of the last meeting, his expression turned cold, and then he smiled very kindly and called Baitang: "Isn't this the little sister from last time? Why did you come to City S?"
Baitang couldn't figure out why the other party called him back, "Is there something wrong?"
"Meeting is fate. Uncle gave you a little gadget." As he said, Zhao Zhongchen took out a string of dull-colored small bells from his pocket, and stuffed them into Baitang's hand. "You know that uncle is a feng shui expert." Master? Hang this bell on the southeast direction of the bed post to keep your family safe."
Baitang looked at the bell in his hand, raised his face and smiled: "Thank you." People who knew Zhao Zhongchen's reputation would not reject his words of keeping safe, but this bell was occupied by something not very good, she If you really hang it up as he said, you will encounter bad luck within a few days.
Seeing her accepting the bell, Zhao Zhongchen smiled more cordially. "You're welcome, people like us believe in fate. Remember to hang it up and you can't take it off."
Baitang nodded, Zhao Zhongchen said a few more words and left. Looking at the leaving figure, she picked up the bell in her hand and shook it lightly. It is also cheaper for Zhou Ting to come and not to be indecent.
Passing by where there was a trash can, Baitang casually threw the bell into it.
Back in the parking lot, Bai Tang didn't ask the driver to take her to another place, and went directly to Bai's house.
Today's Bai family is very deserted, Cheng Bo accompanied the old man to visit old friends, and several sons stayed at the company to work, Bai Feng went to a classmate's house and has not come back yet, the rest of Bai Nan came back half an hour earlier than her It's just that when I came back, I was bored in the room and didn't come out.
Bai Tang went to the door and knocked on Bai Nan's door, "Bai Nan, I'm coming in."
Pushing open the door and entering, there is a stack of materials on Bai Nan's desk, and the child is staring at these materials in a daze. She walked over to scan it, and it was filled with the information of Papa Bai and Shen Manqin. "Where did you find it?"
"I paid for a private investigator to investigate." Bai Nan replied in a dazed tone, and after a while, he pushed the information to Bai Tang with a complicated expression, "How could she be such a person? Baitang, how could you do this?"
Baitang silently flipped through the materials in his hand, some of the content on it were newspaper clippings, and some were summary materials. The very first page was a black and white picture of Papa Bai and Shen Manqin getting married. Next to the picture was a title, "A feud has turned into an in-law, and the Bai family and the Shen family have joined forces from now on?".
Turning down, it is some of the failures Papa Bai experienced after marriage, such as the large-scale project he handled was tragically lost in Waterloo, and the electronics company he ran was stolen by commercial espionage. Then there was the report of the divorce of the two, which implied that Bai's failure was related to Shen Manqin.
She flipped through a few more pages, which were some information about the relationship between Shen Manqin and her current husband, Su Yuan.
In short, after a bunch of information, what I want to explain is that Shen Manqin knew Su Yuan first, fell in love with Su Yuan first, and then married Papa Bai for this man, and helped Su Yuan gain a lot of benefits from Papa Bai , allowing Su Yuan to successfully sit on the heir of the Su family.
Bai Tang put down the information, she didn't know how to describe the matter between Papa Bai and Shen Manqin. A long time ago, she actually didn't believe that Papa Bai would end up in such a mess because of a woman, and she didn't believe that the Su family couple would be so "wonderful". However, it was later proved that Papa Bai was blind sometimes, even though that woman was her and Bai Nan's biological mother.
"Then do you believe what it says?"
Bai Nan nodded and shook her head, and finally looked at her pitifully, "Do you believe it, Bai Tang?"
Baitang patted his head, "Do you want to go see her?"
"Look!" When Bai Nan said this, there was a kind of determination, "I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person she is. If, if it is really like what the information says... I will only recognize Dad."
"Find a time, let's go together."
"Um!"
Back in his room, Baitang took out the lotus platform and called out Jiejing. It's a pity that Jie Jing didn't respond to Liantai at all. For such a result, she was not very disappointed.
Putting the boundary mirror aside, she picked up the lotus platform and wrapped it with soul power, carefully feeling the fluctuations from it in the morning. Like Jie Jing's reaction, the fluctuation in the morning was like an illusion, and there was no trace of it. His eyes fell on the crack above, his heart moved, his soul power seeped in from it, finally he had a faint feeling, he couldn't help but probed deeper, but when he approached, he was ejected by a barrier.
Baitang's face became a little dignified, there was an enchantment inside the lotus platform to isolate the breath inside. But will there be an enchantment in this world that doesn't even have aura
Under this suspicion, Baitang tried again, but the result was still the same. However, this time, the enchantment she tried out was not very strong, and it was feasible to break it by force. Is it just worth it
Baitang felt ruthless in her heart, but she couldn't miss any possibility. Fortunately, the rewards were worth it. After breaking through the barrier, the lotus platform split open from the outside, and for a moment beads the size of a fingernail flew out of it with a faint luster, and Jie Jing also responded at this time.
The fusion this time was completely different from the last time, the beads directly sank into the mirror without any follow-up reaction, but on Baitang's side, he felt that the weakened soul had a tendency to recover.
After a long time, Baitang felt that the damaged soul was almost healed, touched the mirror with his finger and began to meditate. This method of picking up leaks is too dependent on luck, so I have to think of a more reliable method.
As her idea grew, there was a wave of fluctuation on the mirror, and a palace that was very strange to Baitang appeared. Therefore, Jie Jing's behavior was not stopped.
Every part of this palace is extremely luxurious and meticulously furnished. Baitang looked at it, feeling vaguely familiar, but he couldn't find the source of the familiarity. Not long after, a figure walked in, and Baitang's doubts were immediately answered. It's no wonder she feels familiar, isn't this luxurious and detailed arrangement just like the handicrafts that the little apprentice will come up with every time he goes out.
Shen Tingjun didn't feel the wave of Baitang's original soul at the first time. He passed through the innermost floor of the palace, raised his hand and struck out a spell. The wall in front of him turned into nothingness, revealing a passage for only one person to pass through. .
Baitang followed him through this passage, and at the end of the passage was a valley. She was a little surprised, and continued to follow, but detoured into a forbidden area again. The forbidden fluctuations emanating from it were several times more dangerous than Qing Yunzong's forbidden area. Baitang couldn't help following cautiously, fearing that if an instability caused her primordial soul to have any accidents.
Shen Tingjun, who was walking straight, suddenly paused, and turned to the fork on the right as he walked straight forward. Baitang was guarding against those restrictions, so he didn't notice his changes. After walking to the end, the moment Shen Tingjun opened the stone door, Baitang was so surprised that his soul fluctuated violently.
Shen Tingjun's pursed lips curved upward in an imperceptible way.
Baitang stared blankly, the layout of this stone room was exactly the same as her bedroom in Qing Yunzong, except for an extra portrait on the wall, which was her portrait. The person in the painting, even if she writes it herself, I'm afraid she can't draw it so vividly.
She turned to look at the young apprentice's expression, Shen Tingjun walked up to her portrait, and whispered softly: "Master, one month is too long, I regret it."
Bai Tang was not about to speak anymore, and even was about to exit the boundary mirror, but was stabilized by Shen Tingjun's last sentence: "Do you miss me a little?" After saying this, Bai Tang saw Shen Tingjun looking in her direction Coming over, a slightly disobedient smile slowly appeared on his face: "Master, you are finally here."
Baitang didn't have time to think about this violation, and just about to respond, his soul trembled and he lost consciousness.
