Next Chapter

In the Great Wilderness Calendar, in the autumn of 327, on the border of the Western Regions, outside the Changge Pavilion on the shore of the Stygian Lake, singing and dancing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ji Yan, the eldest son of Ji Yu, the lord of Luohua City, was reading on the bamboo bridge by the lake, and the second son Ji Yun and his sister Ji Xiaoyu were playing by the lake.

On the official road outside the Changge Pavilion, a ragged fortune teller slowly walked on, Ji Xiaoyu, fifteen years old, with a pretty appearance, watching this fortune teller pass by, he just wanted to step forward to tease him, but the fortune teller actually shouted first, almost frightened Ji Xiaoyu.

"Fortune telling, a hexagram of ten thousand gold!" This fortune teller carried a yellowed burlap bag, and held a yellowed feather fan in his hand, dressed as a poor Taoist priest, how to look inconspicuous, but his eyes were shining, invisibly revealing the powerful power to see through everything.

"Fortune teller! What are you shouting? The housekeeper of the Ji Mansion watched the fortune teller stop at the long song to rest, and naturally he was not happy.

"Don't be rude!" A few zhang away by the bamboo bridge, Ji Yan's voice was still clearly recognizable, and he had studied under the Snowy Ghost Elder for many years to practice magic, so naturally it was not in vain.

"Thank you, young master, for letting the old man rest here!" The fortune teller didn't raise his head, combed his somewhat messy hair, and began to take out the dry food from the burlap bag and eat it.

"Give you water!" Ji Xiaoyu looked at the fortune teller who only ate dry food, and said pity in his heart, so he offered tea.

The fortune teller raised his head and took a serious look at the little girl in front of him, frowned slightly, did not answer, took the tea and drank it all. Ji Xiaoyu saw that the fortune teller drank tea, and then jumped to the side, and the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion muttered on the side, counting the fortune tellers who didn't know how to be polite.

"Return" The eldest son of the Ji family called the housekeeper to explain, and then sat in the carriage of the Ji Mansion and continued to read.

"Go back, go back, don't go crazy. The butler beckoned to the servants to pack their things and prepare to leave.

"Wait. Just as two carriages and four or five attendants were about to walk on the official road, the fortune teller in the Changge Pavilion blocked the way.

"Fortune teller, what are you doing? Why are you blocking the way?" The housekeeper had already seen that this fortune teller was not pleasing to the eye, and he happened to take the opportunity to attack.

"Then in order to thank your young lady for the grace of a bowl of water, please write a word, and then send a hexagram, ask for good fortune and misfortune, and then know that everything is endless. The fortune teller bowed deeply to the carriage.

"Let's test the word wine!" Ji Xiaoyu had long thought that this fortune-telling call was funny, so he said casually at the moment. ”

The "good" fortune teller waved the feather fan in his hand to the pillar of the Changge Pavilion, and the word "wine" was clearly visible and profound on it.

"Good trick!" Ji Yun and Ji Xiaoyu clapped their hands happily, they hadn't seen their brother play tricks on them for a long time.

"Please explain the hexagram, sir!" The eldest prince of the Ji family was in the carriage in front, and when he heard that the little sister who had been smart since childhood had such an incident, he could only smile and shake his head, knowing that nine times out of ten fortune tellers were charlatans. I want to end this matter quickly, but I went home late, and I was afraid that my father would blame me again.

The word "wine" water on its left, when referring to your three brothers and sisters, on the right side of a Western word more than a horizontal, meaning is a fierce hexagram, if you go all the way to the west from here, you can still keep a lifetime of thoughtfulness, if you go against the sky, three sons go, one son back. "The fortune teller, with a few words, blurted out.

Hearing this, the "presumptuous" butler whistled out with a long whip in his hand, pointing straight at the fortune teller's head.

The strange thing is that the fortune teller does not dodge, and the long whip turned into powder within a foot of the fortune teller, and was blown to the housekeeper by the wind, choking the housekeeper and coughing.

"It's a good move to seal the gold and turn the soul, Steward Ji, you are not someone's opponent, they didn't take your life, they are already merciful to their subordinates, and they don't retreat quickly. "The eldest son of the Ji family in the carriage was still reading a book, and he didn't raise his head, but he saw the situation outside the carriage clearly.

"Master, my house is in the east, how can I go west, haha, you can't calculate it this time!" Ji Xiaoyu glanced at the fortune teller, made a grimace, and signaled that the housekeeper could leave for home.

"The grace of a water has been repaid, and I am going to hurry down next, so I will leave. The fortune teller looked at the carriage and went away, bowed deeply, and turned away.

The shore of the Styx Lake outside the Changge Pavilion has restored a bleak scene, the cold air is forcing on the surface of the Styx Lake, faintly revealing the hideous atmosphere, the legend is that the shore of the Styx Lake, every hundreds of years will be full of flowers on the other side, there was an astrological master predicted that "the flowers on the other side bloom, the yellow spring water comes out, the green jade should come out, and the catastrophe is eliminated." Later, because it has not been fulfilled for a long time, no one remembers this ancient and mysterious legend.

Just as the group was about to walk outside the Falling Flower City, an arrow rose into the air, and the sharp sound pierced the sky, which could be heard from miles away.

"Report to the eldest prince, the Ji family warns the arrows!" The housekeeper was shocked when he saw the arrows in the sky. You must know that Ji Yu is the city lord of Luohua City, and the Ji family's arrow is a warning signal that will only be issued when there is a war.

"What does the arrow mean?" Ji Yun's face did not change, he was still reading a book. However, Ji Yun and Ji Xiaoyu were a little frightened, thinking that something had happened.

Judging from the sound and color, this is a signal for the Ji family to leave quickly. "The butler saw it really in his hurry.

"Turn around and send the second brother and third sister to the Ji family military camp in the north of Luohua City. "The eldest son of the Ji family has a solemn face, the Ji family, as the first prosperous family in Luohua City, has strict family rules, and it is impossible for such a thing as a wrong arrow. Since the trumpet is a warning, there will be a major incident. Ji Yan made proper arrangements, and rode towards Luohua City in a carriage alone. In a hurry, Ji Yun glanced at the two brothers and sisters who were gradually moving away through the window of the carriage, and he had a vague premonition that this glance might be followed by life and death.

"Brother!" Ji Yun and Ji Xiaoyu watched their eldest brother leave in a hurry, and their hearts were very uneasy. The housekeeper of the Ji Mansion has been in the Ji Mansion for many years, so he naturally does things neatly, and after weighing the weight, he dismissed all the servants at the moment and drove the carriage all the way to the west alone.

The Ji family stationed a secret army of cronies in the Agarwood Valley north of Luohua City, led by Ji Yu's sixth brother Ji Tianhu, a guardian of an important thing, and at the same time can also be used as a response in the city in wartime, although there has been no war in Luohua City for many years, however, the Ji family has a good way of governing the army, and this military camp is still decent.

"Who is coming?" When the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion was about to arrive at the barracks, he was stopped by random arrows.

"Then the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion, bring the second son, and the third lady come here to see Uncle Ji Liu!

The barracks fence was opened, and a general walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, this person had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a murderous aura in his eyes.

"Haha, my Yun'er, the rain is coming, come and let the sixth uncle take a look, I miss the sixth uncle. Ji Tianhu hugged Ji Xiaoyu directly from the carriage. Among the three children, Ji Tianhu has favored the three girls since he was a child, and he has not seen them for many years, and his love is beyond words.
