Speaking of which, now Qiao Kun is the one hundred and first son of Ji Chang.

But his mentality is correct, and he feels that Xibohou Mansion is not his home, and he can't move at will, so he can only wait in the room with peace of mind.

Anyway, he practiced on weekdays, ranging from a few days to a few months at a time.

Xibo Hou Xue is naturally a big event, from Tairen and Tai Ji to the maids and subordinates are all very busy, and no one can take care of Qiao Kun, and no one will bring him food.

Qiao Kun has already cultivated the body of an immortal, and it doesn't matter, he just meditates with peace of mind, practices "sun and moon parallel", realizes many changes in "easy to return to Tibet", and experiments with many functions.

Another wonderful use of "Easy to Restore Treasure" is that it can suppress talismans.

The power of the talisman is huge, but it is troublesome to cast, and it needs to be temporarily condensed, even if Qiao Kun has a doppelganger to help, it will take a lot of energy to complete, and the actual combat is not convenient enough.

Now, "Yi Tu Gui Zang" can suppress Qiao Kun's condensed talisman in advance and release it during the battle, which can save a lot of time and mana. Although the number of Taoist deeds has not increased, the actual combat ability has increased greatly.

Qiao Kun used his mana at the moment to condense the "Thunder Fire Spell", and it took a long time to successfully condense the second one. Xiqi's humane luck is only slightly inferior to Chaoge's, and naturally there are many suppressions of immortal dao spells.

Since this is the case, Qiao Kun is not reluctant, but just condenses many talismans one or two times and suppresses them in "Yi Tu Gui Zang".

More time is to use "Easy Map Return" to sort out the mysteries of many talisman spells to help him understand the method of human immortals.

Sometimes he also practices "the sun and the moon in parallel" to refine the original spirit.

After two days like this, Qiao Kun had already refined the Yuan Shen several times.

The people were still busy, but someone brought some food and drink, although it was not Wuzhen, but it was not deliberately embarrassed.

Now that Xiqi has banned slaughter, naturally there are no five treasures to eat.

Although Qiao Kun didn't go out, he heard a lot of news, his five senses were far beyond ordinary people, and the spell of "wind sound" passed on by the dragon girl that day could know a lot of information from the wind.

He learned from the conversations of the maids and attendants that the most direct reason for Ji Chang's death this time was that he was fighting Houhu in Xiqi.

He had a bumpy road, too much work, and because he had beheaded Chonghou Hu, he was hit by a bad spirit, and he lost his mind, so he fell ill and ignored the medicine.

Qiao Kun was dedicated to cultivation, and he didn't even know about such a major event as Ji Chang's killing of Chonghou Hu.

He wondered in his heart, Chonghou Hu was the confidant of King Xu, commanding two hundred princes in the north, why didn't Di Xin send troops to help Chonghou Hu? Could it be that Di Xin wants to find an excuse to crusade against Xiqi?

Early in the morning of the third day, a beautiful maid came to change Qiao Kun's clothes, but it was Susu.

Qiao Kun did not refuse, let her do it, and after changing clothes, he followed the maid to the White Tiger Palace.

At this time, the White Tiger Hall was densely packed with people, and clothes and food were displayed in the room.

Ji Chang's body, wearing a shroud and wrapped in white silk, looked very peaceful and calm.

At this time, Ji Fa was in the front row of the group, but Qiao Kun was arranged in a position behind Ji Fa, next to Ji Dan.

Qiao Kun also has no experience in dealing with ancient funerals, so he has to learn the actions of others step by step, he has the wind and moves, and Ji Dan is on the side, but there is nothing wrong.

After a long time, the ceremony ended.

Under the auspices of Ji Fa, it was arranged for Xibohou Ji Chang to be buried.

Then Prime Minister Jiang Ziya was devoured, and he was buried at the auspicious time.

At this time, it is not the end of the funeral, since the burial, the princes need to be buried for another five days, Jiang Ziya actually only chose the auspicious time, and the auspicious day is just a formality.

The hundred officials dispersed, leaving only Ji Chang's family, and Qiao Kun was led by Taiji and Ji Dan to pay homage to Ji Chang's mother Tairen.

Tairen was already over a hundred years old at this time, but he was still deaf and clear-sighted, and his movements were not decaying.

Qiao Kun stepped forward to pay homage, and he kindly agreed to Ji Chang for a while, but he gave himself an extra grandmother.

Tairen looked at Qiao Kun for a long time, "Since my son accepts you as a son, you will be the son of Zhou, and the affairs of my Ji family should also be known to you." ”

These words actually evoked Qiao Kun's childhood memories of "Red Lantern", his father is not his father, and his grandmother is not his grandmother.

Tai Ren didn't know what Qiao Kun was thinking, so he only led Qiao Kun to the ancestral temple, which was very simple and atmospheric, but there was an old man guarding it. Feeling its breath, it should be a martial arts legend.

Tai Ren stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen my brother." ”

The old man also stepped forward to salute. Qiao Kun saw that there were many tattoos on his arms, but he didn't know why.

Tairen said to Qiao Kun: "This is my deceased husband's brother, Uncle Ji Chang, you can also be called Uncle Tai." ”

Qiao Kun hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "I've seen Uncle Tai." "Xindao, sure enough, these families have hidden masters and hidden powers.

Uncle Tai helped Qiao Kun up, looked back and forth, nodded incessantly, seemed to be very satisfied, but invited Qiao Kun to enter the ancestral temple, and Tai Ren stayed outside.

There is another person in the ancestral temple, who is younger than Taibo, but it is Zhong Yong, the third uncle of Ji Chang, and he is also a martial arts legend.

There are many tablets in the temple, starting from Xuanyuan, Shaohao, Emperor Yu, Houji, through Buyi, festivals, etc., as for Ji Chang's father's calendar.

Tai Bo said: "My Ji family originated from Houji, and its roots can be traced back to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. "Let's take Qiao Kun to worship.

After paying homage, Uncle Tai said: "The child does not need to change his surname, he only needs to inherit my Zhou family." ”

Qiao Kun was not dissatisfied, if he changed his surname to Ji, he would probably be called Ji Jikun, which would not sound very good.

After the visit, Qiao Kun naturally left here.

Uncle Tai advised again, "There are two things that my Zhou family must learn, one is the eight strengths of Qiankun, and the other is the method of innate gossip divination." This is the foundation of my Ji family's life, and we must not forget it. ”

Qiao Kun nodded yes, and told Tairen about this when he left the ancestral temple.

Tairen said: "You and keep the spirit of your father Ji Chang for five days, and after five days, I will personally teach you the method of Qiankun Eight Strength and Innate Bagua Divination." ”

Qiao Kun retreated and came to the White Tiger Palace.

Tai Ji was in front of the White Tiger Palace, and said to Qiao Kun: "I have been busy these days, and I can't take care of you, but it's mine." ”

Qiao Kun naturally said that it was okay and stayed to guard Ji Chang's spirit.

Hundreds of people held a vigil, which was very spectacular.

Guarding the spirit is physical work, but everyone in the Ji family has practiced martial arts since childhood, and their bodies are strong, but they can persevere.

Only Ji Changzhi's youngest daughter is only thirteen years old this year, and she can't hold on, but everyone can only let her insist. Qiao Kun secretly cast the "Earth Talisman" on her and the like.

Thinkers

Five days later, Ji Chang was buried, and the people of Xiqi were grief-stricken.

After Ji Fa buried his father, he inherited the position of the patriarch of the tribe. In the name of the patriarch, Qiao Kun was incorporated into the tribe, and Qiao Kun was taken to sacrifice heaven and earth, ancestors, and so on. This is really accepting Qiao Kun as a brother.

Then Jiang Ziya led the ministers to serve Ji Fa as the heir of Xibo. Ji Fa succeeded to the throne, respected Jiang Ziya as his father, and then added officials to some of the remaining hundred officials, each by one level.

Most of these officials were officials who had made meritorious contributions in the Xiqi War, and some officials should have been promoted according to their contributions.

It's just that Ji Chang deliberately held down their merits and didn't reward them, but he wanted to leave this kindness to the new lord of Xiqi.

Ji Fa gave meritorious ministers, and for a time hundreds of officials supported him, and pardoned the people of Xiqi, reduced or exempted some taxes, and the people of Xiqi also supported it.

Qiao Kun faintly felt that the catastrophe absorbed by "Yi Tu Gui Zang" was a little faster. It was not that there was any change in the "easy to return to Tibet", but that the calamity in Xiqi began to increase.

It's a feeling in the dark, indescribable, indescribable.

It is as if there is no source and is generated out of thin air.

The Great Tribulation, is this the beginning?

"Brother Qiao Kun, what reward do you want?" After Ji Fa rewarded the hundred officials and many brothers, he came over to ask Qiao Kun.

At this time, nepotism is a virtue. Among the hundred officials, the Ji Fa brothers accounted for one-third, serving in various institutions in Xiqi, responsible for the military, government and people's livelihood.

Ji Fa is much younger than Bo Yi Kao, he is not yet forty years old at this time, he is eight feet tall, dressed in court clothes, and looks heroic, quite like a hero.

He is also a martial arts legend because he has been practicing martial arts all year round, and he looks younger and very handsome.

Qiao Kun just shook his head, he didn't want to be an official here, he was only willing to be an idle cloud and wild crane, after all, he was a cultivator, what was it like to be an official?

"Why don't you let him be a grain overseer." It was Prime Minister Jiang Ziya who said this.

Grain Governor? Qiao Kun is somewhat familiar with this position, and he also knows that this position is relatively leisurely, and there are many subordinates such as the grain officer under him, so he is a little willing.

He saw Jiang Ziya frequently giving him a look, and finally agreed, and said to Ji Fa with his fists: "Thank you, Master Hou, I am willing to be a grain supervisor." ”

At this time, Ji Fa only inherited the throne, and he did not establish himself as a martial king, but he could only be called Hou Ye.

"Call me second brother." Ji Fa gently patted Qiao Kun on the shoulder, "You and my brother, you don't need to be like this. ”

Ji Fa said this very sincerely, it was definitely not a scene, Qiao Kun had to change his name.

Ji Fa gave Qiao Kun a house in Xiqi, and sealed the township of thousands of people to Qiao Kun as a fief for food, which can be hereditary for life. It has jurisdiction over the people in the estate, and levies taxes and taxes, which is regarded as a source of income.

At this time, thirty households were one town, ten towns were one pawn, ten pawns were one township, but there were 3,000 households in one township. The township given by Ji Fa is smaller, less than a thousand households, only a few thousand people, not much.

Considering that Ji Chang has a hundred sons at this time, if everyone is so divided, the scale of Ji Fa's sub-seal is also very considerable.

As soon as Qiao Kun calculated a little, he knew that Ji Fa was not bad to him, and he was quite kind.

In fact, Qiao Kun doesn't care about fiefdoms and food and the like, he is not short of money, and as for hereditary and the like, he doesn't care about it. It's just that I can't refuse for a while, so I accept it.

What's more, Ji Fa also arranged a few retainers for him to help him manage the fiefdom, so he didn't have to worry about it at all, and he had no reason to refuse.

At this time, there are naturally subordinates who arrange things such as seals and tiger charms.

Qiao Kun took it casually, thanked Ji Fa again, and then retreated.

After he retreated, Jiang Ziya quickly caught up with him and came to greet him first, "Senior nephew." ”

Qiao Kun still felt a little relieved, at least Jiang Ziya still called him a nephew, not a son, "Why does Uncle Shi want me to be a grain supervisor?" I still have to practice. ”

Of course, the cultivation of the gods is the most important, and the so-called wealth in the world is just a passing cloud.

Hearing that Qiao Kun was still thinking about his cultivation, Jiang Ziya nodded, as if he was a little relieved, but asked again: "Senior nephew, are you willing to be a person?" ”
