Chapter 124, the future is uncertain
Although he is a child from a "famous sect", Yan Cheng is not picky about food. The chef at home is Du Xiaoxiao, and the food he cooks can only be said to be barely delicious. Yan Cheng has no objection and eats with relish.
"The five colors make people blind; the five sounds make people deaf; the five flavors make people feel refreshed; the galloping and hunting makes people crazy; rare goods make people hinder the traffic. Therefore, the saints are the belly but not the eyes, so they get rid of them."
This is the saying in the Tao Te Ching. The general meaning is that if you like something too much, your position will be confusing. The same is true for food. You will never tire of eating fine meat and fine meat. Doing this will deviate from the original purpose of your diet and eventually make yourself addicted. The normal attitude is that you can eat more delicious food, but don’t be greedy, and eat less bad food, but don’t be picky.
On this point, Yan Cheng is the same as his future son Yan Lingfeng, who may or may not have. A cup of water, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of meat and vegetables are not aware of it, but it can be stopped. If you just look at him eating, this kind of elegant feeling of a humble gentleman will definitely not make people feel annoying, especially when eating, Yan Cheng will never say a word. If you speak, you will definitely put down your rice bowl, swallow it cleanly, take a sip of water, and then answer seriously.
This attitude is rigorous and steady, which is completely different from his approach of being strong in the middle of the second. However, the two can be wonderfully mixed together, turning into a strange feeling that makes people crazy but not disliked.
According to Yan Cheng, he came to Yongcheng once in May, but there were some things at that time, so he didn't stay for long. However, at that time, he met Xu Yifan. The Yan family had ancient methods, and it can be seen that Xu Yifan had a big problem. Yan Cheng talked about this with Xu Yifan. At that time, he suppressed the infiltration of Xu Yifan, but this kind of suppression could not last long.
However, according to Yan Cheng's statement, Xu Yifan had a flesh, a mortal, and was ungrateful, so he didn't understand much. Instead, he got a "ghost suppression map" from Yan Cheng to ensure the safety of his family. Moreover, Yan Cheng had already agreed with Xu Yifan at that time that he would marry Xu Yifan's daughter Xu Shanshan in the future.
This "yes" comes from Yan Cheng's statement, and it is still hard to say whether it will come true. However, when Luo Tong heard the ghost-restrained picture, he remembered the drawing that he downloaded from Xu Shanshan's mailbox not long after he arrived in Xuanfeng City. The drawing can stimulate spiritual energy, but the effect is not long-lasting. In order to prevent Xu Shanshan from getting in touch with these too early, Luo Tong kept the drawing and did not give it to her.
At that time, Luo Tong was still wondering what methods Xu Yifan had to obtain such a drawing. Now he finally knew where the source was.
After thinking about it, Luo Tong asked: "What month did you go to Yongcheng?"
This question made Yan Cheng think about it. Just like before, he swallowed the rice, drank a sip of water, and sat upright and said: "On May 30th, the calendar in the world still needs to be converted, which is really a bit troublesome. Our children of famous schools..."
Luo Tong hurriedly interrupted Yan Cheng's boastfulness and signaled Du Xiaoxiao to take out the beads on his hand and show them to Yan Cheng, and asked, "You came to Yongcheng for this?"
Yan Cheng glanced at it and shook his head and said, "Although this Acharya chanting Buddha's beads are precious, my purpose at that time was not this, but to come to Yongcheng to solve the cause and effect of the past. It was just because of various reasons that I finally couldn't do it."
Luo Tong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he turned his hand back. He grabbed the backpack hanging on the hanger in the air, took out the box, and asked, "Is the cause and effect you want to resolve is related to this box?"
Yan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the ghost-headed bat pattern lock on the box, he frowned and asked, "Did you get this box from Beiluozhuang?"
After hearing this, Luo Tong had already reached a conclusion. He heard Yan Cheng say that beading is not the main purpose, and he was thinking about what is more precious than beading in Yongcheng. Later, he thought that there was only the box in Beiluozhuang. After all, it was not only the space inside, but also the full power of an ancient monk, which was far more rare than beading.
Before, Luo Tong had a question in Beiluozhuang. A hundred years ago, according to the Luo family, the peach wood sword, books, and boxes were not placed together, and no Luo family could open this box. So who opened this box back then and put the peach wood sword and books together?
Now that he heard Yan Cheng telling the cause and effect, he also heard Yan Cheng ask about Beiluozhuang. After comparing the two, Luo Tong also guessed it.
Luo Tong asked again: "You came to Yongcheng because you were for this lock?"
Yan Cheng nodded, tugged it twice, frowned and asked, "Why is it so different from what my father said? I can also feel that the lock was originally on this box, but my father said that there was a powerful monster sealed in the lock, so I must be careful."
After a pause, Yan Cheng said again: "My father asked me to come out of the mountain. He originally calculated that this lock was about to be released. He asked me to come to Yongcheng and find a way to get this lock. Then he gave the lock to the Luo family in Beiluozhuang and tried to help them clear the monsters in the lock. However, when I arrived at Yongcheng, I had no clues about this lock. I walked around and ran into Xu Yifan."
Luo Tong smiled bitterly when he heard this. It is estimated that in his previous life, Yan Cheng did not find the lock, because it had been taken away by Lu Xiao. Without the lock, the box in Beiluozhuang could not be opened. Whether it was the peach wood sword or the ancient methods of practice, with the death of the two ancestors, they finally disappeared and no one knew about it again.
After thinking about it, Luo Tong asked again: "How long have you been in Yongcheng?"
Yan Cheng said: "I searched for a few days without any results. I went back to the mountain to report my life on June 2nd, and there were not many days."
After hearing this, Luo Tong finally understood why the infiltrator changed in advance. It was mostly because Yan Cheng's suppression of the infiltrator lost its effect, and then the infiltrator retaliated against the host.
On the other hand, he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart. It was a speculation. According to Yan Cheng, Yan Cheng should have met Xu Yifan in his previous life and once gave the ghost-resisting map to Xu Yifan. So, is it possible that Xu Shanshan is not dead?!
This kind of thoughts was chaotic and complicated, but it also made Luo Tong's heart jump several times.
He asked again: "Then you came to Yongcheng this time to marry Xu Shanshan?"
Yan Cheng's face changed significantly. After a long time, he blushed and said, "The children of our famous sects will not lie. I came to Yongcheng because I actually wanted to escape the marriage."
