Chapter 3 Return to Yunyang
The two young women were originally crying sadly, but when they heard Ji Haoran's words, they endured their grief and bowed down to thank them.
Seeing Ji Qiu returning, Ji Haoran introduced each other to the two sides, the eldest of these two young women was seventeen or eighteen years old, named Yun Zhi, and the younger was fifteen or sixteen years old, named Yun Rong.
The second daughter knows how to be polite, although she is sad and sad, she still doesn't forget to thank Ji Qiu.
Ji Qiu responded casually, and at the same time looked at the two sisters, although they are sisters, they are also beautiful, but their facial features and faces are very different, the elder sister Yun Zhi has a round face and big eyes, and the younger sister Yun Rong has beautiful eyebrows.
This place is quite far away from Yunyang City, there are no cars and horses, and the corpses are not allowed to be carried, so they have no choice but to do expedient, dig soil and dig pits, and bury them on the spot.
Like this kind of thing, Ji Haoran would not stretch out his hand, only bitter Ji Qiu, and a spatula dug for two hours before sending out a grave pit that could be used for lying and burial.
Buried in the burial, the grave is sealed, it is already sunset, and the night is shrouded.
The two sisters knelt down and cried, and then followed the two on the road.
Walking in the forest at night, the mountain road was rugged, and there were two women with them, and the speed of movement was very slow, until the next day, a group of four people walked out of the dense forest and mountains.
Hurrying slowly, I finally rushed back to Yunyang City, which is surrounded by water on all sides, with a flat suspension bridge and a wall of 100 meters high.
This Yunyang City is so prosperous, but see people coming and going, the river is endless, Qionglou Yuyu, row upon row, the streets of the city are in order, the traders come and go in and out, there are also the display and furnishings of various shops, all kinds of beautiful jade treasures, five grains and rice grains, silk and satin, horizontal and vertical shops, placed safely, without the slightest caution and concealment, which shows the simplicity of its folk customs, the excellent public security, and the peaceful and prosperous place to live.
"Ji Gongzi, never thought that there was such a prosperous place in this world?" Yun Zhi looked around in surprise.
"Ashamed, ashamed, this prosperity is due to the Yellow Emperor's Yunyang military parade that year. Ji Haoran smiled.
"Where was the Yellow Emperor's military parade back then?" the two sisters looked at each other.
Ji Haoran cleared his throat and said instead, "That's right, after cultivating the Earth Immortal, the Yellow Emperor temporarily stopped his retreat cultivation and instead devoted all his energy to the governance of the human race.
Under increasing pressure from the Shura tribe on the opposite side, the Yellow Emperor began to prepare for the unification of the human race, building Yunyang City from the shore of Hongze Lake in Zhongzhou, recruiting warriors and monks, and one hundred and forty-two years later, the last piece of masonry with a dragon-shaped emblem was built on the city wall, and the Yunyang Giant City was finally completed.
At this time, the Yellow Emperor, who had reached the realm of golden immortals, was supported by all the people, and reviewed a million troops and 100,000 monks in front of the newly built Yunyang City.......
Ji Qiu coughed twice and interrupted Ji Haoran's tirade, "Uncle, I'm going home soon, how will these two girls be settled?"
Ji Haoran then remembered the matter, "In this case, you go back to see the situation first, I will take the two girls to the post station, and then go back after they have changed their clothes." ”
Ji Qiu nodded in agreement, and walked towards the vermilion lacquer gate not far away, and when he arrived at the gate, he found that the huge courtyard was already full of people, all young men and women, all of whom were the leaders of the younger generation in Yunyang City, and there were hundreds, lined up vertically and horizontally, standing neatly.
Everyone was familiar with him, and they waved to him, Ji Qiu waved in response, and at the same time slowly came to the backyard, Ji Dongyang's study is located in the northwest corner of the backyard, the door of the study is closed, and there is a voice in it.
Looking around at no one on the left and right, Ji Qiu leaned against the root of the wall and walked around to the outside of the study, listening carefully from the corner of the wall.
"Fusheng immeasurable Tianzun, the reappearance of heavenly punishment, the great catastrophe of the world, I and the other three were sent by the Soul Suppression Alliance to come to Yunyang to select camphor materials, and nine monks were sent to the three cities of Mingzhu, Streamer, and Luohan to select, in order to work together and achieve success. A middle-aged man's voice.
"How many people do you choose from each of the three cities of Mingzhu?" Ji Dongyang's voice.
Another gloomy voice, "We only Lord Yunyang selects, Lord Wang, when will Prince Ling return?"
Ji Dongyang said, "Xiao'er has received the flying pigeon message and is on his way back. ”
"The stakes are too high to be delayed. A crisp and pleasant woman's voice.
Ji Qiu couldn't see the appearance of the person who spoke, so he tilted his head and wanted to look more closely.
"Revenge for self-denial, don't listen to indecent deeds. The voice of a middle-aged man.
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, Ji Qiu felt a pain in his forehead, and reached out to caress it, but his palm was moist, and it was actually a drop of water.
"Ji Qiu?" Ji Dongyang's voice.
"Third master, it's me. Ji Qiu answered in fear.
"Where is Haoran now, and ordered him to come and meet the three real people quickly. Ji Dongyang urged.
"Yes. Ji Qiu nodded and walked back.
Out of the palace, rush to the post station, the post station is a place for officials to pass on information and rest, daily necessities are readily available, Ji Haoran is sitting with the two sisters drinking tea.
Ji Qiu urged eagerly, "Uncle, hurry up, those three monks have been waiting for you for a long time, and the third master asked you to meet them immediately." ”
Hearing Ji Qiu's words, Ji Haoran hurriedly put down the teacup, got up from his seat, and wanted to do it.
"Childe goes by himself, the business is important. Yun Zhi said softly.
Ji Haoran thought for a while, tilted his head and looked at Ji Qiu, "I'll go back first, you bring them into the mansion and place them in the pavilion next to my residence, and then I will take care of it when I am busy with this matter." ”
Ji Qiu grinned, "Huh?"
Ji Haoran waved his hand at him, and turned to look at the two sisters, "The monks of the Soul Suppression Alliance are here in person, there must be something big happening, there are priorities, I will take the first step, the two girls will follow him into the mansion, and I will talk to you when I see them." ”
Ji Haoran said, stirred the hem of his clothes, and stepped out of the door.
After Ji Haoran left, only the two sisters Ji ** were left in the house, Ji Qiu frowned and worried, although these two women were pitiful, they were outsiders, how could they be easily brought into the palace?
But Ji Haoran had already ordered them not to be thrown here, hesitated for a long time, and shook his head helplessly, "Let's go, come with me." ”
The two sisters nodded their heads and thanked them, and followed them into the palace.
After settling down the two sisters, Ji Qiu returned to his residence without worry, the three Ji Dongyang brothers have their own houses, the three houses are adjacent to each other, one main and two deputies, Ji Qiu lives in the house left by his grandfather, located in the east of the palace.
Although the east courtyard is less than half the size of the palace, it is also a wide courtyard, but there are not so many people in the palace here, there is only an old servant named Fu Bo, who is already over the age of old, and the gatehouse, the courtyard, and the miscellaneous servants in one, Fu Bo's name He doesn't know, since he can remember, everyone has called Fu Bo.
When Ji Qiu entered the door, Fu Bo was sitting at the door and napping, Fu Bo sat at the door to watch the door, and the other was to greet the master in time when he came back, which is also a habit developed over the years.
But Fu Bo was very old, dazzled, and didn't know that the little master had returned, and Ji Qiu didn't alarm him, so he first put down his belongings in the east chamber, and then went to the well to fetch water to wash his face.
At this moment, someone spoke from outside the gate, it was a young woman's voice, "Fu Bo, where is Young Master Ji Qiu?"
Fauber was woken up by someone who came, opened his eyes dimly, and stood up on his knees, "Huh?"
"Where's your young master?" the visitor knew the back of his ear and raised his voice.
"I'm going to study, I'm going to read with Haoran. Fauber replied.
"I'm washing my face, what's the matter?" Ji Qiu answered in a loud voice.
A maid-like person looked in from outside the gate, "Young Master Ji Qiu, Lord Wang, please come over to participate in the selection." ”
"Let me go?" Ji Qiu asked in surprise.
"Yes, go ahead, the selection will start soon. The maid said.
"Oh. Ji Qiu wiped his face, shook the water stains on his hands and walked towards the door.
"Young Master, are you back?" Fu Bo greeted him.
"I didn't come back, you dreamed, go back to sleep. Ji Qiu grabbed Fu Bo's shoulders and shook them back and forth, laughed and followed the maid to the palace.
Entering the gate of the palace, I saw Ji Dongyang coming from the backyard to the front hall with three people dressed in Taoist costumes, Ji Qiu walked quickly, and rushed to the end of the line before the four came.
Ji Dongyang is tall, majestic, has a long beard, and does not smile.
The three people walking behind him are two men and one woman, and the two Taoists are not confused, one is tall and one is short, the tall one is thin, the short one is fat, and the tall and thin one has a bitter face, the corners of the eyes are drooping, and they are not sad but sad. The short and fat man has a happy face, and the corners of his mouth are raised, and he is happy when he doesn't like it.
The only female Taoist is at the age of standing up and down, six feet tall, amazingly beautiful, dusty and drooping, with a high bun, although she wears a wide robe, she can't hide her graceful posture.
The four of them moved under the gaze of everyone, standing on the steps, Ji Dongyang in the front, and the three in the back.
Ji Dongyang stood proudly and looked around, as far as the eye could see, everyone's hearts were palpitating and breathtaking.
After looking around, Ji Dongyang said in a deep voice, "The descendants of the Ji family, and listen to the truth, the Southern Spirit Great Wilderness has suddenly appeared countless fierce spirits in recent times, claiming to be a rebel blood guard, killing monks, and doing evil, it is reported that the mastermind behind this matter is the pseudo-saint Tianzhu who got rid of the seal not long ago, these pseudo-saints are stubborn, and the non-Zhen Soul Alliance must not re-seal them, and now the three real people of the Zhen Soul Alliance have come to Yunyang, aiming to select camphor materials and join the alliance to teach the law. ”
Ji Dongyang paused here for a moment, and then said again, "This matter is both an opportunity and a challenge, the Soul Suppression Alliance is the Yanjian Sect, the Youyun Sect, the Shinto Sect and the real people of the two sects of the Interpretation Sect are formed together, collecting thousands of wonderful methods, gathering thousands of unique learnings, if you can be selected, the future creation is unlimited." However, the Heavenly Punishment Pseudo-Holy Way is profound, the anti-blood guards are bloodthirsty and ferocious, people who are not hot-blooded are not allowed to snipe, non-brave warriors are not allowed to fight, and it is unknown whether they will die day or night. ”
Ji Dongyang raised his voice when he said this, "Let's ask, does my Ji boy have the desire to learn the magic method and study the stunt?"
"Yes!" shouted the candidate.
"Ask again, does my Ji boy have the courage to sacrifice himself to resist the enemy and kill himself?"
"Yes!" shouted in response.
Ji Dongyang nodded slowly, moved left and retreated, "Three real people, please ......"
