Chapter 3, the end of ancestor worship
Ji Fengtian felt as if his head had exploded, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the painting in front of him, and he passed out.
However, what no one saw was that the blood that fell on the painting gradually seeped into the painting and disappeared.
The green ox floating in the air looked up to the sky and shouted again: "Moo~"
The sound pierced through the sky and echoed in the distant sky, as if to announce to the world that he had returned.
Immediately afterwards, the green cow turned into a cyan light, rolled up the painting on the ground, and shot into Ji Fengtian's eyebrows, leaving no trace.
The last voice from Qingniu resounded throughout the Qingyun Continent. Whether it was the old monsters cultivating in the mountain range, or the old antiques in the sect, they all stepped out of the retreat and looked in the direction of the extreme north, as if their eyes could penetrate the void and look directly at the source of the sound.
In the void sky, he suddenly opened a pair of eyes, looked in the direction of the green cow, and blinked gently.
On the top of a mountain in the middle of the continent, a white-haired old man muttered, "The sky is unknown, and the auspicious and evil are unpredictable......"
As soon as the white-haired old man's words fell, a golden light flashed behind the white-haired old man.
"Amitabha, did the donor see anything?"
"Master Tianjizi, is there something going on?" another pitch-black figure appeared on the right side of the golden light.
"The heavens are unpredictable, the good luck is unpredictable, the catastrophe is coming, King Shura and Master Mingguang, please go back. Instead of wasting time on me, a bad old man, I should go back and prepare for the catastrophe. The white-haired old man Tianjizi said lightly.
As the words fell, a gust of wind blew, but no trace of the three people could be found.
The Ji family's ancestral house, under this sound, got up one after another and walked outside.
And Ji Yue got up and went straight to the ancestral hall, and as soon as she arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, she saw Ji Fengtian lying softly on the ground.
"Young Master, wake up, Young Master!" Ji Yue shouted a few times, and seeing that Ji Fengtian did not react, she stepped forward to pick up Ji Fengtian who had fallen to the ground and ran towards the bedroom.
"Come on! Hurry up and invite Pharmacist Zhang!"
Hearing Ji Yue's voice, a panicked footsteps sounded in the Ji family's ancestral house. Then a man of about forty years old walked in, carrying a medicine box on his back.
After carefully checking Ji Fengtian's condition, he found that Ji Fengtian's body was fine, just in a coma.
"The young master is fine, I have some supplements here, boil it into juice and feed it, tomorrow will be fine." ”
Pharmacist Zhang said as he opened the medicine box beside him, took out a thousand-year-old ginseng from it, handed it to Ji Yue, and then left with the medicine box on his back.
Ji Yue instructed his subordinates to quickly boil the ginseng and give it to Ji Fengtian to take.
Seeing that Ji Fengtian's complexion on the bed had improved a little, Ji Yue's breath in his heart was slightly relieved.
After the rest of the people left, Ji Yue closed the door and stayed by Ji Fengtian's side.
Ji Fengtian, who entered a coma, dreamed that he was in a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers.
"Apprentice, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for thousands of years as a teacher, grow up quickly, the catastrophe is coming!
Just as Ji Fengtian was looking at his surroundings, a sound of vicissitudes came into Ji Fengtian's ears.
"Who are you?" In the dream, Ji Fengtian quickly glanced around.
Right in front of him, he saw a great man standing up to the sky.
"Who I am, I'll know when you're stronger. Now, you have to remember my words, the big secrets about the life and death of this world in the Tao Te Ching must not be leaked! Remember!
"What do you mean?" asked Ji Fengtian
There was no answer, and the surroundings gradually darkened, and Ji Fengtian felt that he was dissipating with this peach paradise world.
"Uh......"
Ji Fengtian opened his eyes, held his aching forehead, got up and leaned on the bed.
Hearing Ji Fengtian's voice, Ji Yue saw that Ji Fengtian's complexion had returned to normal while sitting on the bed, and her heart was completely relaxed.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
"Alas, Uncle Yue, just call me Feng Tian directly. You and my father are like brothers and sisters, and you call me young master, but you have tormented your nephew. Ji Fengtian said helplessly.
"The young master is the young master, and his subordinate is just a guard of the Ji family. ”
"Uh······" Ji Fengangel rubbed his face vigorously and did not continue.
Regarding this matter, Ji Fengtian repeated it to Ji Yue hundreds of times, and every conversation ended in nothing. Shaking his head helplessly, Ji Fengtian thought of what his father had said about Ji Yue.
Thirty years ago, when Ji Yuanshan was out on a campaign, when he passed through a village that had been baptized by the flames of war, a soldier found Ji Yue in a collapsed part of the village.
Ji Yuanshan saw that Ji Yue had no home to go back to, so he took him back to Ji Mansion. Ten years later, Ji Yuanshan discovered Ji Yue's cultivation talent and proposed to accept Ji Yue as his adopted son, but Ji Yue refused.
At that time, Ji Yue said: "Belong to Ji Yue, and I am willing to serve the Ji family for generations!"
After listening to Ji Yue's words, Ji Yuanshan knew that Ji Yue would always regard himself as a benefactor in his heart, not as a father, and in the end, he could only give up.
More than ten years ago, on the battlefield of the Dajin Empire in the south, Ji Yue blocked the deadly sword for Ji Lingyun many times and saved Ji Lingyun's life several times.
After Ji Lingyun defeated the Dajin Empire and returned to the dynasty, he applied to Dongfang Ming to promote Ji Yue to general, but Ji Yue refused.
Ji Lingyun had no choice but to let Ji Yue go back to Ji's house with him.
After returning to Ji's house, I thought that I could make Ji Yue not have to work so hard, but I didn't expect Ji Yue to automatically take on the escort work.
"Uncle Yue, have you seen the calligraphy and painting I bought yesterday?" Ji Fengtian immediately asked.
Yesterday, when I arrived at the ancestral hall, I only saw you, young master. Ji Yue replied.
"Oh!" Ji Fengtian said lightly.
It seems that the previous one was not a dream, but I don't know if what the person said is true or false, if it is true, then the responsibility that I will bear in the future is really unusual.
"It's really a task to cross over!, but why don't you give some benefits!" Ji Fengtian muttered.
Seeing that Ji Fengtian didn't mean to continue talking, Ji Yue left the room and instructed his subordinates to send Ji Fengtian something to eat.
In the evening, Ji Fengtian came to the ancestral hall with the genealogy of the Ji family. wanted to see if the Ji family had any secrets, but Ji Fengtian found that he was thinking too much.
Thinking of the painting, and thinking of the person he dreamed of in his dream, Ji Fengtian felt that there must be something related to it.
That majestic figure called himself an apprentice, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly, what was the great catastrophe he was talking about?
But looking at the figure, I feel very familiar, and I can't think of where I have seen it for a while.
There are secrets in the Tao Te Ching, and I have never given up studying it for so many years. However, nothing has been gained so far.
"Boy, don't think about it so much, there are some things that you can't touch right now. You just have to work hard and work hard, and I will do my best to help you!"
Just as Ji Fengtian was thinking, a deep voice sounded.
"Who?" Ji Fengtian was startled, and looked around, trying to find the voice that spoke.
A vague white figure appeared in front of Ji Fengtian, looked at Ji Fengtian and said, "You just need to remember what your master said, it's useless to think too much, grow up quickly!"
"Who are you?" asked Ji Fengtian.
However, to Ji Fengtian's surprise, the figure was gone, and he seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
What's wrong with me lately, is it because of this period of time, because of the mental fatigue caused by rushing?
"Let's take a rest tonight!" Ji Fengtian said to himself.
Ji Yue, who was sitting at the door of the ancestral hall, heard Ji Fengtian's voice, turned her head to look, and found that Ji Fengtian's small body was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and his head was little by little, as if he was asleep.
I couldn't help but smile on my face. Ji Yue thought of what happened to this little young master.
The little master has never cried since he was born, has never played a child's temper, and suddenly learned to speak. Sometimes the words and truths spoken make many adults stunned.
He is very old, unlike other children, who play all day long, but just read books every day.
Glancing at Ji Fengtian again, Ji Yue firmly believed in her heart that Ji Fengtian was a genius given by God to the Ji family and to the Dayue Dynasty.
A month passed quickly, and Ji Fengtian, who didn't have to keep vigil, took Ji Yue and the others around the Tianbo Mansion during the day. In the evening, return to Jifu to meditate on the Tao Te Ching for the night.
Time will soon pass, and there is still a month and a half to go until the New Year.
On this day, Ji Fengtian stepped on the carriage back to the imperial capital.
Before leaving, several clan elders who did not show up on weekdays came out to see them off, and presented some beast fur clothes.
Ji Fengtian was wearing a windbreaker made of black wolf skin, stood on top of the carriage, waved goodbye to several clan elders, and then the carriage headed towards the imperial capital under the protection of the guards.
On the southwest border, in the camp where General Liu Xiang was located, a group of people wearing black cloaks walked in.
Seeing someone coming, Liu Xiang Huoran got up from his seat, walked to the door, and saw that there was no one around, so he closed the door.
"I've seen a few adults!" Liu Xiang said with a bow.
"No need to be polite!" said the black-robed man at the head waved his hand.
"I wonder what you're here for?"
"Liu Xiang, it's time to show your sincerity. ”
"Please make it clear!"
"Ji Yuanshan's grandson, Ji Fengtian, went to Tianbo Mansion two months ago to worship his ancestors. We got the news that Ji Fengtian will leave Tianbo Mansion today to return to the imperial capital. ”
"My lord......" Liu Xiang was about to speak, but was interrupted by the black-robed man.
"I know, so this time I brought two people over, and with them in the lead, there will be no problems. ”
"What is the strength of the Ji family's guards?"
"The highest is the martial artist consummation, and the others are uneven!"
"Thank you for reminding me, this time, I won't fail!" Liu Xiang said.
"We have already contacted the sect, if you behave well, we will recommend you to the sect!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Also, try to sow discord between the royal family and the Ji family, if you can let them kill each other, it's best. ”
"Your Excellency, you don't know. Ji Lingyun, Dongfang Ming, and Zhuge Yun were called brothers when they were young, but now their relationship is even deeper, and it is really not easy to provoke their relationship. ”
"Aren't you the same age as a son and Dongfang Ming's daughter?"
"What do you mean ......"
"Find a way to propose, Dongfang Ming loves this daughter very much. ”
"The subordinates once mentioned it, but Dongfang Ming's old horseman directly refused. ”
"Find a way to make your son impress Dongfang Yue, or if necessary, the overlord will bow hard!"
"Yes!"
"As for the time to do it, you can set it yourself, don't show your feet. After the black-robed man finished speaking, he left two black-robed men behind.
