Chapter 6 Plaque
The car was going a little faster than when they came. They set off at around 1:00 p.m. and arrived at Baiweixuan at nearly 2:00 p.m.
Feng Zhibai took a nap after getting in the car. When he really couldn't fall asleep, he got up and pulled Lao Mitou to start asking questions. In the end, Lao Mitou wanted to unbuckle his seat belt and jump out of the car to be free forever!
The questions she asked were simply mind-torturing!
Touching the carriage under her buttocks, she asked, "The carriage is moving so fast, could there be a thousand-mile horse under it? I'm quite curious about where the thousand-mile horse is. Xiaomi, please call the thousand-mile horse out quickly so I can see it."
Old Mitou had just finished explaining to her that there were no horses under the car when she pointed at the shopping malls and high-end residential complex outside the car and asked, "Such a huge thing has caves everywhere. Are there monsters living in it?"
Old Mitou swallowed his saliva and smiled awkwardly at the driver, whose face was red from holding it in. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Don't ask! People! There are people living in there!"
"call out--"
A helicopter flew quickly over the car.
"What kind of monster is so bold as to expose cholera in broad daylight?"
Feng Zhibai ignored what Lao Mitou said, held on to the car window with his left hand, pointed at the helicopter whizzing past with his right hand, looked up and shouted loudly!
Old Mi's heartbeat slowed down, and he quickly reached out to pull her back: "Auntie, that's a helicopter, not a monster!"
"Not a monster?"
Pulled by Old Mitou, Feng Zhibai sat down again. "How can one fly in the sky? Isn't there anyone in this world who can fly with a sword?"
"It's the 21st century, auntie. This isn't a fairy tale drama. We don't have flying swords! Even if there were, can you fly?"
"Won't."
Feng Zhibai shook his head without thinking.
Old Mi's face twitched, and he clutched his chest as he asked the driver in a heavy voice, "Master, how long will it take to get to the destination? I'm dying."
The driver was holding back his laughter.
His shoulders were shaking: "Ten minutes, bear with it a little longer."
"How long is ten minutes?"
Before Lao Mitou could speak, Feng Zhibai turned his head and asked again.
Old Mitou turned his head towards the car window and took a deep breath of fresh air: "A cup of tea."
"A cup of tea takes ten minutes, so how much is a quarter of an hour?" As if he had obtained some magical knowledge, Feng Zhibai grabbed Lao Mi Tou's arm and pulled him back.
His back hit the seat, and Lao Mitou felt dizzy and overwhelmed, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He waved his hands, his body collapsed, and he could not hear anything!
"Xiaomi, is your mansion like these huge caves? What kind of novelty is that? The women in this world are dressed so beautifully! Xiaomi, look at what that thing is that can carry people forward!"
Feng Zhibai shook Lao Mitou's arm, looking like an inexperienced and extremely noisy person!
Old Mi stared at the roof of the car in despair, feeling pain in his ears and a buzzing in his head.
Just as I was about to pretend to sleep to avoid someone's series of fatal slam dunks, the car began to slow down.
"Two masters, here we are."
As the driver spoke, the car began to slowly enter the Baiweixuan parking area.
Lao Mi Tou suddenly became energetic and sat up with a bang: "I'll tell you later! Let's go down and fill our stomachs first." Waving his hand at Feng Zhibai, Lao Mi Tou pushed the car door open and got out without stopping for a moment, for fear of staying in the car for even a second longer!
"Why are you so anxious?" Feng Zhibai followed Lao Mi out of the car.
"If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I'll lose a few years of my life!"
"Bang——"
Because he was very excited, Lao Mitou closed the door a little loudly.
"Two masters."
Jin Feng had already arrived at the gate of Baiweixuan Restaurant. Seeing Lao Mi Tou and Feng Zhibai get out of the car, she waved to them.
Old Mitou uttered a sigh, "Oh." and hurriedly took several steps forward.
Jin Feng pointed at the front door of Baiweixuan with a forced smile. "Baiweixuan is very famous in Qinghai City, and the owner is a good friend of mine. Masters, please feel free to eat and drink as much as you want. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."
He extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come in."
"Thanks."
Old Mi thanked him, turned around to look at Feng Zhibai, and then walked in.
On the other hand, Feng Zhibai didn't say anything the whole time, but her starry eyes never left the Baiweixuan building sign after she got off the car!
Hearing Jin Feng's invitation, she threw back her wide sleeves, put her hands behind her back and stepped forward.
Jin Feng walked beside Feng Zhibai and noticed that she was very interested in Baiweixuan's sign. She deliberately slowed down her pace and asked, "Master, what do you think of my friend's sign?"
"How is it?" Feng Zhibai glanced at Jin Feng and waved his hand, saying with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with this restaurant, but I really like this plaque."
He raised his head and gestured to Jinfeng to look at the plaque of Baiweixuan.
The decoration style of the entire Baiweixuan restaurant is like an old restaurant in ancient times.
The plaque of Baiweixuan also adopts the wooden plaque of retro-style restaurants.
In the past, the plaques in wealthy mansions, restaurants and gardens would be decorated with various dragon, phoenix and floral patterns and designs, and some would even be inlaid with pearls, jade and gems to show the status of the mansion.
However, the plaque of Baiweixuan is quite different.
It should have been a long and wide plaque, but now there was only a rather large round plaque with a shiny surface on the door of Baiweixuan!
The name of the restaurant in the middle of the circular plaque was not written in a graceful handwriting, but rather it looked like the three characters Baiweixuan were carved by some blunt instrument!
If it were just a carving, it wouldn't be surprising, but the strange thing is that if you look closely, the three characters "Baiweixuan" look like runes!
These runes are so dense and complicated that ordinary people or those with little cultivation would not notice them at all.
The three of them did not stop. The receptionist at the door skillfully welcomed Jin Feng and the other two into the Baiweixuan hall.
"This plaque was made by a carpenter that my friend hired at great expense. How is it, Master? Is it not very good?"
The entire Baiweixuan restaurant has six floors. From the moment you enter the lobby, you feel like you have entered an ancient restaurant in a novel.
Seeing the familiar environment, Feng Zhibai's face showed a hint of intimacy. "It's not bad, on the contrary, it's very good. If I'm not mistaken, the carpenter the shopkeeper hired was a descendant of Lu Ban, right?"
As soon as Feng Zhibai finished speaking, Jin Feng paused.
Old Mitou also slowed down.
"The plaque is shaped like the Eight Diagrams. Although it's made of wood, the surface is polished to look like a bronze mirror. A closer look at the three characters "Baiweixuan" (Baiweixuan) shows nothing wrong with them. However, anyone with a bit of experience would have discovered that they are talismans carved with a consecrated instrument to ward off evil spirits. Furthermore, the top, center, and foot of each talisman are perfectly aligned with the main points of the three characters! The meticulous craftsmanship required to carve these talismans is beyond the ability of even a skilled Taoist priest, unless the carpenter is a descendant of Lu Ban."
Feng Zhibai raised his chin. "Lu Ban's skills are truly miraculous. Although this plaque isn't elaborate, it's definitely not the work of an ordinary carpenter."
“Pah-pah—”
Just as Feng Zhibai finished speaking, two clapping sounds came from behind her.
"Although he is young, he has a lot of experience."
As the sound of slapping died away, a male voice with a smile reached the ears of several people.
Feng Zhibai put his hands in his lap and glanced sideways. The man who was speaking was wearing a green Taoist robe with a white palace belt hanging from his waist. His hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. He looked no more than thirty years old, very young, especially his sword-like eyebrows, which gave off an air of righteousness.
When Jin Feng saw the man, she immediately went over to him with an extremely polite and flattering attitude, completely different from when she met Feng Zhibai and Lao Mitou: "Master Qu Yun."
Qu Yun didn't put on airs. Instead, he nodded to Jin Feng before bowing to Feng Zhibai and Lao Mitou: "May you be blessed with infinite happiness."
When Old Mi saw Qu Yun saluting him, he quickly stood up and clasped his fists in return, "Tianshi."
Feng Zhibai couldn't help but frown slightly. It was okay for her, an old master of metaphysics who had lived for who knows how many years, to accept the gift, but if she returned the gift to the junior, it would probably ruin Qu Yun's fortune for the next ten lifetimes.
This etiquette is not acceptable.
But now that so many people are watching, it would seem a bit against the rules if she doesn't do it.
"What are you doing? Return the favor."
