Chapter 496 Seabass(2/2)
But Xu Luo refused to accept anyone who came, and did not let go of almost every book. He swallowed it all and kept it in his mind before talking about it.
Just after he finished flipping through all the books, there was a slight muffled sound of the boat hitting the shore.
Xu Luo rearranged the books neatly, but a trace of doubt flashed between his eyebrows, because along with Master Bai's hearty laughter, there was an extremely unfamiliar clear female voice.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, Xu Luo saw Master Bai walking over with a little girl of about ten years old with a doting look on his face.
"Master, this is..."
Master Bai was obviously in a very good mood, and he pulled the little girl.
"Xiaoya, this is your brother Xu. The snow fish today is all his own fault."
Bai Xiaoya has delicate features, and her dark pupils looked at Xu Luo with a curious expression.
Seeing Xu Luo looking over, she quickly bent down and saluted, but strangely she didn't say a word. Xu Luo's eyes flashed with confusion and he looked towards Master Bai.
A hint of bitterness flashed across Master Bai's happy eyes, and he didn't say anything, but silently pointed at his throat.
Xu Luo understood, and the pity flashed in his eyes. He saw the little girl's elegant but extremely clean and tidy clothes, and then looked at the ragged and skinny Master Bai. Finally, he understood why he was taking risks at such an old age.
Going to sea to search for spiritual objects?
"Sister Xiaoya, don't be too polite. Compared to your grandfather's life-saving grace, what are mere spiritual objects?"
At this moment, Master Bai suddenly interrupted Xu Luo's pleasantries.
"Let's go back first. I bought some green tooth rice today, just in time for you two to make up for it."
Only then did Xu Luo realize that he was carrying a large package, so he took it conveniently.
A faint spiritual energy went straight to the Dantian along his arm, and the pattern he just saw popped into Xu Luo's mind.
The so-called green-toothed rice is also called spiritual rice. It only grows in places where spiritual energy gathers. One grain is the size of an adult's thumb. It is one of the most important foods for all practitioners of Kukai.
The bowl of fish porridge he drank in the morning must have been made from green tooth rice.
Under the dim candlelight, the three of them were sitting at a simple wooden table, eating some fried fish and drinking fish porridge. From time to time they let out cheerful laughter and Xiaoya's happy ah-ah sounds. This scene was inexplicably warm.
With Xu Luo's cultivation level, he can understand the so-called sign language just by reading it a few times, so there is no problem in communication.
With the innocent and lively Bai Xiaoya making jokes in it, not to mention Mrs. Bai's great comfort, even Xu Luo felt a little lighter.
But Xu Luo didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Luo always felt that Xiaoya seemed to have noticed something. Even though she was laughing happily, there was a trace of worry between her eyebrows, and she even had a faint sense of fear towards him.
In the next few days, Xu Luo, in addition to his daily homework, followed Master Bai on fishing trips. As long as he followed him, he would gain something every time he went out to sea.
However, Xu Luo didn't do much. For Mr. Bai and his grandson, sudden wealth may not be a good thing.
Bai Xiaoya has been staying in the bamboo house these days, studying with the children in the morning. When she has free time, she will weave clothes with a kind of seaweed, and she gradually becomes familiar with Xu Luo.
Xu Luo finally knew why Bai Xiaoya was not at home a few days ago. Although she could not speak since she was a child, Master Bai never gave up hope and would send her to Baishayu Medical Center for treatment every once in a while.
It's a pity that after so many years, even Master Bai, a master of the Ningsha Realm, spent all his money to ask others to take a look, but he still couldn't tell the reason.
Late at night, Xu Luo sat cross-legged on the tide-watching platform on the second floor. In addition to continuing to exercise to heal his injuries, he was quietly thinking about his future itinerary.
By reading those books, he finally has some understanding of Pokukai, or Xuanwu Continent. If he could sum it up in one sentence, it would be three words "Begging for Life"!
There is no official power from the imperial court in Pokukai, and there is no other power on the surface.
Everyone, all the islands, and all the spiritual resources are gathered under the behemoth of the Begging Union.
What surprised Xu Luo was that the people here were artificially divided into two categories. One category was the cultivators and their families who could live on various islands.
