Chapter 2 Chance
After packing up a few stacks of books, Baiyunlou saw that in addition to two small wooden boxes, there was a long wooden box at the bottom.
He took out the long wooden box and opened it, it turned out to be a dragon scale sword more than two feet long.
Bai Yunlou hurriedly grabbed the sword in his hand and played with it for a while. This sword looks simple and exquisite in workmanship.
I heard that the Dragon Scale Sword of Longquan Mountain Villa was honed and honed, and only a few were born in a year. I didn't expect my father to buy one when he went out this time. It's really amazing.
After playing with the Dragon Scale Sword for a while, he opened a small wooden box, which contained an inkstone inkstone, and a little mouse ready to drink ink was engraved next to the inkstone, which was lifelike.
Opening the last wooden box, it was a piece of sapphire, the size of a fist, with a round body, one side was relatively flat, and the tentacles were cool to the heart. I don't know what the father used for this sapphire, it looks good as a paperweight.
After tidying up, he picked up the newly arrived book on the side, went to the recliner to look through it, and saw the time for dinner, and even the lunch was delivered to the study by the cook.
Dinner was the main meal of the Bai family. At noon, Father Bai had been resting in the bedroom. When it was time for dinner, Father Bai specially asked the cook to call Baiyun Tower over for dinner.
At the dinner table, Father Bai looked at the opposite Baiyunlou with relief and said: Yunlou, you have grown up now and have your own fame. Of course I will be happy if you can be named on the gold list in the exam next year, but in the past two years There are a lot of sellers, and I have seen a lot of anecdotes and strange things. The records in the books you usually read should not be all lies. Judging from the things you usually like, you should not be interested in fame.
Father Bai picked up the wine glass, handed it to Baiyunlou, and continued: The box I gave you today is a gift for a long journey.
Travel? Where are you going? Baiyunlou asked in confusion.
After drinking a cup, old man Bai said: This time I passed by Jiangnan Mansion, just in time for Xinlu Academy's three-year opening spring recruitment, and you have already signed up with your fame. Xinlu Academy has a wide range of subjects. Class, you go and have a look, it should be an eye-opener.
Baiyunlou choked speechlessly, secretly thinking that you are my father, everything is clearly arranged, so what else can you say.
But he still said: I've been a little idle lately. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. It's time to go for a walk. But father, what's the origin of that sapphire you gave me?
Speaking of this piece of sapphire, Father Bai became interested. It turned out that at the intersection of Shanghuo Street in Fucheng, a woodcutter selling firewood was selling this piece of sapphire.
Because the quality of this piece of sapphire is too abnormal, even if you try to chop it with a hatchet, it won't leave any traces, but the woodcutter asked for fifty guan, and he didn't sell it for a long time.
Father Bai happened to meet him, and remembering the kindness of the young master at home, he bought it back. According to the woodcutter, this sapphire was picked up while chopping firewood in the mountains to the west.
Father Bai was in a good mood tonight, so Young Master Bai had a good time drinking with him.
The moon and stars are sparse, and the night is as cool as water.
Feeling sleepy, Baiyunlou came to the study, lit two oil lamps, picked up the book on the case table and continued to observe and study.
After watching for a while, Baiyunlou fell asleep on the reclining chair groggy, feeling drunk.
The first taste of wine, even though it was just sweet and refreshing distilled rice wine, brought back the drunken youth.
The full moon is falling in the west, the night is deep, and the sleeping Baiyun Tower seems to feel hot and dry. Half asleep and half awake, I took the sapphire from the table and pressed it on my forehead.
The refreshing coolness and five-point drunkenness made the young man's consciousness become still in a hazy state, as if he was floating in the chaos. At a certain moment, a blue light flashed from the sapphire and jumped into the center of the young man's eyebrows.
That blue light penetrated into the sea of consciousness of Baiyun Building, turned into fluorescent light and scattered in all directions, the originally chaotic sea of consciousness had a little gleam, and the fluorescent light spread for a radius of one foot and gradually stopped.
A strange phenomenon gradually appeared in the sea of consciousness, the turbid air sank, and the clear air floated up, and the sea of consciousness within a radius of one zhang seemed to separate the heaven and the earth.
The sinking turbid air gradually condensed into a sea of clouds below,
It's like a dark dream, floating around.
If the floating fresh air is spiritual, it gathers and disperses at times, like exhaling and inhaling.
The scattered fluorescent light is drifting with the clear air, floating and sinking in the sea of turbid air and clouds, the radius within a zhang is alive with the flashing of fluorescent light, but it is still chaos outside the zhang zhang.
Dawn is about to break, the alley next door wakes up, the morning stalls on the street open, the sound of cold water being poured into the pot, the crackling of firewood in the stove, the hurried footsteps of the early risers, drifting far away across the courtyard wall, passing through Through the window lattice, the boy on the recliner was awakened, and Baiyunlou woke up.
The breeze is blowing on the face, and the body and mind are transparent, which is the feeling of Baiyun Tower at this moment.
Open the half-closed wooden window, look at the starry sky outside the window, it is deep and vast, and listen to the sound of the market in the distance, it is complicated but full of vitality.
This world is still the same as before, but it seems to be much clearer and more vivid.
At this moment, Baiyunlou's thoughts are clear and pure. Through the starlight, looking at the sapphire paperweight in his hand, he seems to feel that this sapphire is kinder.
This is something Zuimeng did not have before, this feeling is subtle and clear, the more you look at Qingyu's intimacy, the clearer it is.
Although I don't know what happened, but I can be sure that it should be because of the sapphire. Bai Yunlou raised his hand and applied the sapphire to the center of the forehead and brow.
After taking the sapphire far away, the sense of intimacy gradually weakens, but when you close your eyes, you can still detect the general direction, such as the feeling of listening to the voice to distinguish the position, and the sense of intimacy is far away when you hold it more than ten feet away.
After several attempts, there was no other abnormality, so Baiyunlou put the sapphire in a wooden box and kept it away, and then slowly studied it when he had time.
Ever since I was a child in Baiyunlou, I have liked to read stories about gods and ghosts. Occasionally, I would go to teahouses to listen to stories about gods and ghosts. The Great Xia Kingdom has been established for more than three thousand years. It has gone through ups and downs and ups and downs. The power is protecting the Great Xia Kingdom, which has allowed the Great Xia Kingdom to stand up to this day.
Baiyunlou has long felt that this world is not just the mortal world, and the trip to Liuyun Temple two years ago has also confirmed it. Last night, when he was drunk in his dream, his mind changed because of the sapphire. Although he was surprised, he could not accept it. .
Slightly absorbing his spiritual thoughts, Bai Yunlou sat cross-legged on the futon, gradually sinking his mind.
In the past, Bai Yunlou learned some methods of meditation and meditation from some ancient books, but there were always shallow thoughts disturbing the mind, and he couldn't enter the method. Today, he can achieve it overnight, and easily enter the meditation, calm, pure and transparent.
Then the mind gradually converged, and gathered towards the sea of consciousness one inch inside the eyebrows mentioned in the Taoist scriptures.
Suddenly, his mind entered a bright place, and after Baiyun Tower calmed down his slightly turbulent mind, he finally slowly saw this small world clearly.
The bottom of the mind is like a cloud and mist, and this wisp of my mind floats gently on the cloud and mist. There are many green fluorescent spots scattered around, twinkling like stars. Needless to say, this is my sea of consciousness.
Contemplating this wisp of spiritual consciousness inwardly, it is slightly weak, with a faint expression, and suddenly, Baiyunlou is blessed to the soul, controlling this wisp of mind to float towards a blue fluorescent point not far away.
