Chapter 50: A Visitor from Tianshi Mansion
Regarding the art of dream peeping, the reason why there is such a rule in the art is because an incident happened more than two hundred years ago.
At that time, there was a sect called Longhua Sect in the magic world. It was quite popular at that time. Although it was not as powerful as giants like Tianshi Mansion and Maoshan Zhengdao, it was also considered a relatively important force in the magic world.
But the problem was that there was a disciple in the Longhua sect at that time who had learned the art of peeping into dreams from somewhere, and had used this art to humiliate countless women, even some beautiful disciples in the same sect.
This dream-peek technique is not a perfect spell. If he only used it on some ordinary people, perhaps he could conceal it. But he was so bold as to target his fellow mages. Naturally, others were not fools, and one day his secret would be discovered.
As a result, the entire martial arts community was shaken!
Overnight , all the masters from various schools surrounded the Longhua School. In the end, the disciple who learned the dream-seeing technique was killed by his fellow disciples!
However, the Longhua School also lost its reputation because of this, and its influence in the martial arts community plummeted. After a few years, its popularity was gone.
From then on, there was an extra taboo in the art: anyone who dared to use the dream-peeping technique to humiliate women would be the enemy of the entire art and his crime would be unforgivable!
Lantian's face turned pale, sweat broke out like a pig, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
No wonder Xu Lai would lock Yin and Yang and use the Five Sounds Evil Talisman on Lam Chi Chung. If it is really as he said, then these two methods are not only not vicious, but also perfect!
"Those two... I'll take my leave first." Lantian stood up from the chair, calmed himself down, and left the food stall.
Seeing the man walking away, Chen Duo waved the skewers in front of Xu Lai and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. The skewers taste really good. Can landlord give me a few more?" Xu said.
Chen Duo asked the boss to add some more, stared at Xu Lai for a while, and said: "I've never seen you speak so seriously, you look quite impressive, I give you a thumbs up!"
"Really? When I was the headmaster, I often scolded people like this." Xu said.
Chen Duo pouted: "You started to act frivolously after just a few words ."
After a while, the boss brought up a small half plate of skewers.
Chen Duo ate one and then remembered something. She said, "Minmin came over during the day and asked us to attend her sister's memorial service tomorrow. I'm going to go. Are you going?"
"I won't go. You go." Xu said.
Chen Duo originally wanted to ask him why he didn't go, but after thinking about it, she swallowed the words back.
The two then ordered two more cans of beer, ate their fill, and then walked back to Zijin Garden to digest their food.
After Chen Duo went back and took a shower, she brought a blanket and occupied the sofa to watch TV. Xu Lai was too lazy to care about her anyway, so he took a shower and went to bed to sleep.
Chen Duo lay on the sofa, watched an episode of TV, and fell asleep in a daze.
That night, they both slept soundly, but someone couldn't sleep all night.
As soon as Lam Tin returned, he closed the door and asked Lam Chi Chung sternly whether this was true.
Lam Chi Chung didn't really take the matter seriously, but when Lam Tin pressed him, he told her everything.
After listening to this, Lantian sneered a few times and slammed the door and left.
Lin Guoxin heard the noise and rushed over, asking him what happened.
"I can't solve it!" Lantian said coldly and left, leaving Lin Guoxin in a daze.
After returning to his residence, Lantian locked himself in the room.
As the person in charge of Chongxu Temple in Jiangning and a famous master, money is naturally not a problem for him.
However, over the years, he has basically maintained the simplicity of his previous life as a hermit, but he found a house in a quieter environment and lived alone.
After sitting there for a long time, I realized that my stomach was growling with hunger. I went to the kitchen and rummaged around for a while, then found a bowl of instant noodles to eat.
I didn't even take a shower and just lay down on the bed with my clothes on. I just tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
I don't know how long this went on, but when I heard my cell phone ringing, I picked it up and immediately woke up.
Master Bai Zhijing from the Tianshi Mansion has arrived in Jiangning!
Lantian originally thought it would take another day or two, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. The person who called was Wang Quan, Bai Zhijing's disciple.
When I looked at the time, it was just past midnight.
Lantian got up quickly, washed up, went downstairs, took a taxi, and went straight to the station. After waiting there for half an hour, he finally picked up the person.
I had met Bai Zhijing two years ago. He was of medium height, with a broad face and upturned eyes, which made his features look sharp. His hair was neatly combed and he was well-dressed. At first glance, I thought he was the CEO of a large group.
Bai Zhijing is only in his early forties, but he has already reached the position of elder of Tianshi Mansion and has a great reputation in the magic world.
People really can't be compared. In front of him, even Lantian couldn't help but feel emotional.
Bai Zhijing was accompanied by two disciples, one of whom was Wang Quan, who had spoken to Lantian on the phone before, and the other was a beautiful young girl named Xu Yan.
"Lantian, where is your car?" Wang Quan yelled as soon as they met.
Lantian frowned when he heard this. Although Wang Quan came from Tianshi Mansion, he was just a boy in his twenties. Chongxu Temple and Tianshi Mansion were of the same lineage. With Lantian's qualifications, he could be considered the other party's elder, yet this man actually called him by his name.
When Xu Lai called him like that, Lantian could ignore it, because after all, the other party was highly skilled in magic and could be on equal terms with him, so who are you, Wang Quan?
"I got here by taxi." Then he said unhappily.
"You actually asked us to take a taxi? Then why did I ask you to come?" Wang Quan said in disbelief.
"I can't drive, so it's quite convenient to take a taxi." Lantian said patiently.
"Damn it, who told you to drive yourself? Can't you call a driver? Where's Lin Guoxin? Ask him to send a car over!" Wang Quan said loudly.
Lantian secretly shook his head in his heart. Is this the person who came from Tianshi Mansion? It's really disappointing.
"Okay, let's take a taxi." Bai Zhijing said lightly at this time.
Lantian nodded. Master Bai was still quite calm.
He had already booked a car, and when it arrived, the four of them got in.
"This car is too small and a bit crowded." Xu Yan complained with a frown.
"It's good to have a seat. You're thin anyway, so it won't hurt you." Wang Quan said with a smile in the car.
So Bai Zhijing sat in the passenger seat, while Lantian and two disciples squeezed in the back seat.
The car soon arrived at Lantian's residence. This small building was originally chosen by Lantian as a location for Chongxu Temple in Jiangning City. So although he currently lives alone, there are quite a few rooms inside, enough for Bai Zhijing and the other three to live in.
"You live here?" Wang Quan started frowning as soon as he arrived.
He had been used to seeing luxury villas with Bai Zhijing in the past few years, so he was very surprised when he saw this small shabby building. He thought to himself, Lantian has been in Jiangning for so many years and is quite famous, how could he end up like this?
"Yes, the rooms are ready, please come in." Lantian got out of the car first, opened the door and prepared to invite Bai Zhijing to get off.
However, Wang Quan closed the car door and said with disgust: "How can people live in this place?" He asked the driver to drive to the best hotel nearby.
Lantian was stunned for a moment, and seeing Bai Zhijing sitting in the car with no intention of getting off, he couldn't help but sigh.
The car quickly sped away, leaving Lantian alone there.
Lantian shook his head, sneered, and went back to his room.
The next day he got up early and sat alone in the room, but he didn't ask Bai Zijing where they lived. He didn't want to get close to these people from the bottom of his heart.
It was almost noon when Wang Quan called him and asked him to come over quickly, and then he gave him the name of a hotel.
Lantian had no choice but to take a taxi there.
When I arrived at the place, I didn't see Bai Zhijing and others. I called Wang Quan and found out that they were invited by Lin Guoxin to have dinner at a high-end restaurant next door.
Lantian had no choice but to follow the address and finally found a few people in a private room.
In addition to Master Bai Zhijing and his two disciples, Lin Guoxin and his son Lin Ziliang were also there to accompany them.
Lin Guoxin is a veteran in the business world and is good at socializing. The few of them were laughing and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious. He often made the two young people, Wang Quan and Xu Yan, laugh out loud.
Bai Zhijing also acted like a master and just watched with a smile.
"You're here, why are you so late? Please sit down!" Wang Quan saw Lantian coming in, greeted him and asked him to sit down quickly.
Logically speaking, since this was the host, it was not his turn to make decisions. He was shouting and yelling, completely ignoring Lantian, the elder.
The Lin family has been cooperating with Chongxu Temple for a long time, and Lin Guoxin and Lantian are old friends . Seeing that his face was dark, he knew that he was upset, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Here you are, brother!" He quickly stood up and pulled him over affectionately and sat down next to him.
Lantian calmed himself down, ate a few bites of food, and listened silently to the people talking and laughing.
"Lantian, what happened to you?" Wang Quan and Lin Guoxin had a few drinks and suddenly accused loudly.
"What?" Lantian was stunned for a moment.
"I heard that the young master of the Lin family was bullied by someone, and it was a mixed-up wizard who came out of nowhere. You didn't even protect him. What should you do?" Wang Quan said in a scolding tone.
Lantian's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. Who the hell do you think you are? If it weren't for Bai Zhijing, he really wanted to teach this little brat a lesson.
