Chapter 358: Psychic Medium Traces, Puzzle Solved
Speaking of which, Concubine Hui is not only not mediocre, but the leader of the Qiao family?
Wei Mingxi and Fu Rongyue were stunned, Wei Mingxi felt a little better in his heart, when he first heard that Concubine Hui was classified into the poor category in the Qiao family, he was very sad in his heart, in his son's heart, his mother is always the greatest person in the world, and he can't tolerate a little slander.
Fu Rongyue held back a lot of doubts and asked, "So, is it voluntary for Concubine Hui to become a spirit medium?"
"Voluntary, of course. Qiao Huangli smiled and said: "The battle where Concubine Hui became a spirit medium is still a classic in my clan!"
"Really, tell me about it!" Fu Rongyue's eyes lit up.
I have long heard of Concubine Hui's demeanor as a female Zhuge back then, but I don't know how wonderful the battle that made her stand out among the leaders of the clan was?
Wei Mingxi also sat up straight, with an expectant expression.
Qiao Huangli took a sip of tea and told him about the inheritance of the spirit medium.
It turned out that the spiritual medium inheritance in the Qiao clan was a bit like the imperial examination of the Great Wei. The Qiao clan has a total of four branches, once every five years, each branch selects twenty people, and finally selects five people to participate in the mediumship inheritance and become psychic candidates, and once every twenty years, one psychic candidate will be produced among these psychic candidates.
The gentleman who taught Concubine Hui came from the fifth branch of the Qiao family, and in the year when Concubine Hui was seventeen years old, Concubine Hui was elected as a candidate for the medium. It just so happens that this year is also a twenty-year psychic selection. At this time, among the psychic candidates, the eldest has entered the prime of life, and the latest psychic mediums to become candidates are only about twenty, and Concubine Hui is the younger wave. According to the previous practice, there are very few among the younger generation who become psychic mediums, not only because of their qualifications, but more importantly, because their experience and ability are not as good as those of their elders, and most of them come to observe and learn.
Concubine Hui is not.
All competitions are based on lottery duels, and no one knows who the opponent is, and if you want to stand out from the eighty, you need absolutely strong strength.
At first, no one noticed the little girl Concubine Hui, who won the first round and entered the second round, and no one recognized her except her opponent. It was only in the third game, when there were only twenty people left, that everyone gradually noticed this young girl.
Concubine Hui stood on the stage with the other nineteen who won the competition, the youngest of the others was nearly thirty years old, and she was a delicate flower in the ring.
Overnight, Concubine Hui became famous throughout the Qiao family, and because of her beauty, Concubine Hui was even more eye-catching.
After that, there were layers of competition, twenty into ten, ten into five, each competition was extremely fierce, the ring built in the clan was dismantled many times, and finally the five people who participated in the psychic medium assessment were finally determined.
The real game doesn't start until here.
The front is all a test of martial arts and talents, and this last link is the ability of the spirit medium candidate to be tested. The five men were banished to the desert at the same time, and within ten days, a scroll was found that had been placed by the patriarchs and elders in a mysterious area. Except for the task itself, there were no clues, hints, and no one in the clan was allowed to talk, and after receiving the task, these five people were immediately knocked unconscious and thrown into the desert!
"Long yellow sand, how to find it?" Fu Rongyue couldn't help muttering to herself when she heard this.
Qiao Huangli showed a look of fascination: "Yes, the vastness of the desert is unimaginable, and such a task is simply impossible to complete." However, Concubine Hui was done. โ
"How did she do it?" Fu Rongyue was really surprised, in front of Concubine Hui, she was like a fool.
Qiao Huangli looked at Wei Mingxi: "If it is the prince, what will the prince do?"
Wei Mingxi closed his eyes, and there was a blank space in his mind for a moment. But it was only for a moment, and soon, he sorted out his thoughts: "I'm not a concubine, I'm not in it, I can't follow the concubine's method, but I must first protect myself, only alive is possible." โ
"Go on. Qiao Huang left his head.
Wei Mingxi said: "First, look for water, second, look for food, and third, look for clues. I don't know anything else. โ
Qiao Huangli exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's Concubine Hui's son, it's already good to think of this." At that time, the five people were left in different places, waking up and walking alone, in the vast yellow sand, you can imagine what your heart is, only Concubine Hui is rational and calm. She first searched for a source of water, filled her skin with water, and then trekked in search of a place to shelter from the wind and sand. After being safe, Concubine Hui began to look for clues. โ
It seems that there are no clues to look for, but there are still them.
The scroll is made of paper, and even if it is hidden, it must not be hidden in a wet place, of course, it is not possible in the yellow sand, because there are many wild beasts, and secondly, it is easy to be buried by the sand, so this scroll must be in the mountains and rivers of the northern desert. At that time, it was only five days before the five people stood out, so the distance between this mountain range and the Qiao clan could not be too far, otherwise the fast horse would not be able to go back and forth in five days.
There are not many mountains in the Northern Desert, but there are only a few that can go back and forth within five days, and after Concubine Hui determined the goal, she made another difficulty.
Judging from the place where she was lost, she could only walk to that mountain within ten days, and even if she found the scroll, she couldn't go back to the Qiao clan, and that would not be considered a completion of the task.
What to do?
She needs a mount!
There are not many wild beasts in the northern desert, but the only one that can carry her in the desert is the wild camel. Concubine Hui immediately took action, and the next morning she successfully captured and tamed a white camel, which took her to her destination. At this point, time has gone for three days.
It would take three days to go back, and she only had four days to find the scroll!
The mountains are vast, and it is difficult to find a scroll in several mountains! The technique of cultivating immortals and asking questions that the gentleman gave her has come into use at this moment, and there is a kind of exercise called spiritism. If you use the secondary technique, as long as you cultivate enough, you can control the birds and beasts of the world for your own use. Although Concubine Hui is young, she has attained extraordinary psychism, and it is not a problem to summon birds and beasts for her own use - of course, she can't drive or summon large beasts, let alone control them. Therefore, Concubine Hui chose the flies in the sky and the snakes and rats on the ground for her own use, and launched a great search between these mountains!
Finally, after another two days, she had the whereabouts of the scroll.
There was a cave halfway up one of the mountain ranges, and the mountain range was a volcano, through which it could lead to the heart of the mountains, and it was dry and warm inside, and the patriarch of the Qiao family had placed the scroll in it.
Concubine Hui successfully got the scroll under the leadership of the snake and rat and started the return journey.
Just as she was coming out of the cave, she accidentally met another candidate and followed the clues to this place. The two of them were bloodless, sitting at the entrance of the cave and fighting wits and courage, and after six hours, the other party admitted defeat and returned hand in hand with her. After returning to the clan, Concubine Hui presented the scroll and became a spirit medium, and after the Qiao clan found the other three candidates, a grand inheritance ceremony was held in the clan.
That's how it was!
Wei Mingxi and Fu Rongyue listened fascinated, and when they thought of Concubine Hui's resourcefulness, they inevitably felt beyond their strength.
Wei Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Gongzi Qiao for solving some of the doubts in my heart." โ
"What doubts?" Fu Rongyue wondered, she only got an answer to what she was wondering about, I don't know what Wei Mingxi has gained?
Wei Mingxi said with a smile: "In the past, when I read books, I always read about some battles in the northwest of my father, among which there was such a description in the battle of Hengshan with Chimeng, saying that Chimeng buried troops in the mountains and set up ambushes, and all 40,000 people of my father's army were trapped in Hengshan and could not break through. The father got a chance to breathe, not only broke through, but also killed a horse pistol, drove the Chimeng people out of Hengshan, and recovered the lost territory of Hengshan. It turned out that there was no surprise from the sky, but the mother concubine helped from it, and used spiritism to recruit the mountain wolf to break the enemy. โ
"I see. Fu Rongyue also read this history, and as soon as Wei Mingxi said it, she understood.
Qiao Huangli couldn't help but shake his head and regret: "It's a pity, a strange person like Concubine Hui gave up her half-immortal body for the sake of her children's personal feelings and fell into the red dust!"
"In the fourth year of the concubine's entry into the palace, she was not a psychic medium. When Wei Mingxi heard the words of the half-immortal body, his heart jumped, sour and warm, and he raised his eyes to look at Qiao Huangli: "But at that time, it was not time for the Qiao family to choose an heir, how did the mother concubine get out?"
"Nature is seclusion. Qiao Huang said from the right color: "It's just that if you take off the responsibility of the spirit medium halfway and abandon the responsibility of the spirit medium, you will be punished." โ
"What punishment?" Fu Rongyue asked.
Qiao Huang said: "I have already said that Concubine Hui gave up her half-immortal body, gave up her cultivation, and paid some other things to be able to stay in Hongchen and accompany Your Majesty." As for what has been paid and which involves the secrets of my clan, I cannot tell you. โ
Wei Mingxi nodded, he was already very relieved to know this.
"Is the mother's stepfather still alive?" Wei Mingxi sighed, he had no other relatives.
Qiao Huangli shook his head: "The old gentleman was already in his twilight when he adopted Concubine Hui, and he died of illness when Concubine Hui left the Northern Desert. โ
Fu Rongyue saw that he was affectionately lost, and hurriedly held his hand: "Mingxi, you still have me." โ
Wei Mingxi clenched her hand, and after a moment of silence, he got up and said, "I have been bothering Mr. for a long time, I hope Mr. will not be surprised, I ......"
"Lord Wang, please take care of yourself. Qiao Huang left his head, he could understand Wei Mingxi's mood at the moment.
Anyone who learns about his mother's past that he never knew about will probably not be at peace. Especially Wei Mingxi's pursuit and persistence of his relatives is even worse, and it is normal to be a little emotional for a while!
Wei Mingxi was really in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything polite to him, and led Fu Rongyue back to the main courtyard.
