Chapter 217: Father, Brother
"Ah Yi, come with me to meet your father."
Ji Wenyi was overjoyed, but he still calmed down and said, "Will it affect the family if I go to see my father at this time?" ”
Seeing that Ji Wenyi had this thought, Ji Longlin couldn't help but show a little strangeness on his face, and then said with some relief: "It's really not wrong for the family to decide to send you to learn from a teacher, but it's much more mature than when you were a child." But don't worry, your fourth uncle is still not at ease, it is a matter of course for his son to go home to see Lao Tzu, who can say anything. ”
Seeing that the fourth uncle swore so much, Ji Wenyi no longer had to refuse, so he had to nod and agree. But there is still some apprehension in my heart, if the eldest brother knows, and then he is picked up by someone with a heart, I am afraid that he will think that he wants to rob the family of the family, and then I am afraid that there will be a big contradiction.
Ji Longlin didn't care much, pulled up Ji Wenyi's sleeve and walked away, looking a little anxious. The Ji family's garden was quite large and extremely wealthy, so they often renovated or built something new in the mansion. After all, Ji Wenyi has been away from home for several years, cultivating and seeking the Tao every day, I am afraid that the Ji family's mansion at this time is not the same as the impression left in his mind, or it is very unfamiliar. If it weren't for Hao Lianfeng telling him how to find him last night, to put it mildly, Ji Wenyi might not even be able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest in the Ji mansion.
At this time, according to his memory when he left home, coupled with the route mentioned by Hao Lianfeng, he can roughly guess the direction he is in.
Ji Wenyi stopped and asked, "Fourth uncle, why has the location of our family changed?" ”
Ji Longlin's body was stunned, he patted his head, and said, "It's that the fourth uncle has something on his mind, is confused, and leads you to the wrong way." Ah Yi, your memory is not bad, you still remember the direction of home. It's like your fourth uncle and me, who went out to catch up with a business for three months, and after coming back, I couldn't even find my own home. ”
"The fourth uncle laughed."
After Ji Wenyi's reminder, the group immediately changed directions. When he arrived at his door, even Ji Wenyi, who was already a master in the eyes of the world, had a slight fluctuation in his mood. His father and mother were waiting for him behind the door, and he didn't know whether it was a surprise or a shock to the second elder.
Ji Longlin instructed the people below: "You all stay here, don't affect the reunion between the second young master and the head of the family." ”
After that, lead Ji Wenyi in. The facilities in the courtyard are the same as when Ji Wenyi left a few years ago, it is indeed his home, but it is really cleaner, judging from Ji Wenyi's perception, it seems that there is no human taste, obviously there has been no one living here for some time.
Seeing that Ji Wenyi was a little confused, Ji Longlin explained: "Ah Yi, it is still a critical moment in the family, it's not that the fourth uncle is chewing the root of his tongue behind the brothers' back, if your second uncle and third uncle see you coming back, they will definitely push you to the front, and then I am afraid that the brothers will make a mess, it is better to do the affairs of Xuan Mingdao as soon as possible, and trust your father here, let him handle it, and save it clean." ”
Ji Wenyi was somewhat suspicious of Ji Longlin's strange actions, but after listening to the words of the fourth uncle at this time, he could roughly guess that he wanted to give up fighting for the family property. This made Ji Wenyi feel a little relieved, it was all human nature, but I don't know who the fourth uncle supports, maybe he hopes that the eldest brother will change his mind. In addition, he was also more willing to cultivate in Xuanming Dao, so he also went by Ji Longlin.
"What the fourth uncle said, the nephew naturally believed."
Ji Longlin showed a grateful expression, "It's good if you can understand the fourth uncle, let's try to hide our whereabouts." I'll go and tell your father to come, and I'll wait here, and I'll come as soon as I go." ”
After seeing Ji Longlin leave, Ji Wenyi's mood slowly returned to calm, he knew how complicated the affairs at home were this time, in order to cooperate with Hao Shibo's actions, he naturally couldn't hide himself completely, and he had to be high-profile.
However, in the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar courtyard in front of him, Ji Wenyi put aside all those troubles and looked around the room, feeling the familiar atmosphere while recalling his childhood.
It was only after he went around and around that he came to his former bedroom, where he had buried his own treasure. He walked over to the bed, crouched down, reached in, lifted the tiles, and tried to take out the box.
However, in the past three or four years, his body has become much taller, his shoulders are stuck on the edge of the bed, and his arms can't reach in, so he casts a spell to make the wooden box fly out.
Xu is body is stronger than before, he felt that the wooden box was a little lighter, but he immediately shook his head, sneering at himself for being really confused, he used the art of imperial weapons, and he didn't take it out with his hands, the so-called feeling was lighter, that was a little inconsistent with the weight he thought in his heart.
Sure enough, after Ji Wenyi opened the wooden box, the treasure inside had already disappeared.
"I didn't expect that the hiding place that I thought was wonderful when I was a child has already been discovered."
I don't know who took the childhood toys, Ji Wenyi's heart is a little complicated, but that's all.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept over, blowing all the doors and windows open, and Ji Wenyi was also forced to stumble a little, and hurriedly used the ether to clear the cheats, squatting on the horse, focusing on the center, and laughing at the wind.
Such an evil wind is obviously not naturally formed, Ji Wenyi asked loudly: "Your Excellency is a master, if you have something to discuss, it is better to show up and have a good chat." ”
The Xuanjing monk who was hidden in the shadows did not answer Ji Wenyi's words, but continued to urge the wind to roll up Ji Wenyi and take him away. However, Ji Wenyi followed the main point of the horse step and lowered his center of gravity, and his true qi was connected to the earth, and he was not moved at all.
Ji Wenyi asked a few more times, and the monk seemed to be a dead brain, just a vigorous urging spell. According to Ji Wenyi's strength, it would be easy to find the monk's location, but since he wanted to mess up the situation at home and enter the bureau, it was not good for him to show his ability now. So after the wind rose stronger and stronger, he pretended to be overwhelmed, staggered for a while, and was finally swept into the air.
Ji Wenyi was also worried that if the many guards outside the door rescued him, he would be in trouble, but he glanced at it and found that the guards had already fainted to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The monk who came to arrest Ji Wenyi obviously had accomplices.
After a while, Ji Wenyi no longer knew where he was.
The monk who had brought him here was still silent, he looked left and right, and went into the room very consciously. It's just that his behavior always seems a little fearless in the eyes of people hidden in the shadows, which makes people feel a little unhappy.
Ji Wenyi walked into the house and saw that many people were looking at him, obviously waiting for him for a long time.
Sitting on the main seat was a noble young man, who was seven or eight points similar to Ji Wenyi between his eyebrows and eyes, but Xu had managed a large number of caravans all year round, showing some majesty. This kind of temperament is in strong contrast with Ji Wenyi's high-spirited youthful temperament, and the person in front of him is naturally his brother Ji Wenhong.
"Brother."
Ji Wenyi muttered in his mouth.
"Ji Wenyi, you are very bold, I thought that you would be scared to the point that your legs would be weak."
Before Ji Wenhong could speak, the others in the hall rushed to scold and ridicule, causing the rest of the people to laugh.
Ji Wenyi glanced over, but he didn't see their appearance clearly, obviously there was sunlight shining in the hall through the window, and the lights were intertwined, reflecting the room brightly, but it seemed that these rats hiding in the shadows of the corners were even darker.
"Are you all ugly? Don't dare to show your face. ”
The man who had just spoken was so angry that he immediately showed his figure from behind the pillar.
Ji Wenyi glanced at him and asked his brother Ji Wenhong, "Who is this person, why haven't I seen it?" ”
Without waiting for Ji Wenhong to answer, the man said in a weird manner: "As far as I know, the little young master is a famous wine bag and rice bag, and it is normal not to recognize it." ”
Ji Wenyi did not refute the other party's banter and sarcasm, but asked politely: "I don't know where this brother Ren is in charge of the business?" ”
The man raised his chest and said, "Down is the new shopkeeper on the first floor of Longxi. ”
Ji Wenyi flicked his sleeves after hearing this and said: "It turned out to be the new shopkeeper, and I won't blame me if I don't know the rules of my Ji family." ”
The man said angrily: "Bastard, even your father has never mentioned those Rausch rules to me, and you still want to be powerful with me? ”
Ji Wenyi was not polite at all, stepped forward and slapped the other party twice.
Although that person also has some cultivation, where is Ji Wenyi's opponent, he didn't dodge any of these two slaps. Ji Wenyi's palm power was properly controlled, the man's cheeks were high and swollen, and it was very difficult to speak, and he muttered something with a big tongue, but when he saw Ji Wenyi's eyes narrow, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out anymore.
Knowing that at this time, he and the eyes of the others in the hall moved away from Ji Wenyi's body and put it on Ji Wenhong.
Everyone said together: "The eldest young master, the little young master is not learned and has no skills, and he is not worthy of inheriting the family business at all, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
And Ji Wenhong reunited with his younger brother who he hadn't seen for many years at this time, and he didn't show any warmth, and said coldly: "It's really not the right time for you to come back." ”
Ji Wenhong's words made Ji Wenyi feel a trace of danger.
Ji Wenyi tried hard to pull out a smile and said, "What's wrong with going back to your own home." ”
Ji Wenhong was still expressionless, and his cold voice resounded throughout the room, "This is not your home. ”
As soon as these words came out, Ji Wenyi felt that his blood was half cold, and when he brought the words to his mouth, he was about to blurt out that he had no intention of competing with him, and swallowed it back into his stomach.
"So my brother wants to stand up for the outsiders under him?"
"After all, the shopkeeper Ming is the hero of my family, and he shouldn't be so insulted by you."
Ji Wenyi's face was dark, and his tone was a little cold, "Then I don't know what the eldest young master is going to do with me?" ”
At this time, the others immediately became interested again, and said, "Young Master, don't let him leave here, so as not to affect our plans afterwards." ”
"Imprison him."
"He slapped the shopkeeper Ming twice, and the shopkeeper Ming had to be replaced."
The shopkeeper Ming also immediately came to his senses, and his hideous expression looked a little funny on his face at this time, "Dott or (said it well)!" ”
"It's not fair, his cultivation is higher than that of the Ming shopkeeper, his two slaps are different from the two slaps of the Ming shopkeeper, I think it's good to slap twenty times."
"Reasonable."
“……”
Seeing that the shopkeepers of the Ji family made a choice for Ji Wenhong, Ji Wenyi sneered, and he cracked the corners of his mouth, showing his white teeth.
"Everyone, it's okay, don't be impatient."
Everyone looked at Ji Wenyi inexplicably, but saw him continue to say: "Everyone, haven't you forgotten something, my current identity is not the little young master of the Ji family, but a disciple of Xuanming Dao." If you are confused and trap me, within a certain period of time, I have not returned, the senior brothers and elders of Xuanming Dao will definitely come here to inquire, and you may suffer the anger of Xuanming Dao at that time? ”
Everyone was silent for a while, as locals, how could they dare to offend Xuan Mingdao.
Ji Wenyi showed a smug smile, "Since you have no objections, then I will leave?" ”
He was about to leave, when suddenly a person said: "I'm just inviting the little young master to drink tea and have fun, how can I insult you, let's stay." ”
As soon as the others heard it, they knew that this was an excellent idea, as long as it didn't threaten Ji Wenyi's life, Xuan Mingdao was not unreasonable.
Ji Wenyi raised the nameplate in his hand and said: "It's a pity, I seem to have sent a message for help, I think it won't take a few days for Xuanming Dao to come, but I can't continue to accompany you here." ”
Although I don't know if what Ji Wenyi said is true, everyone didn't dare to mention Ji Wenyi when they saw this.
Ji Wenyi swaggered out of the door, although he was very tough just now, he was also a little worried at the moment, just because he didn't know the way to leave here.
So he looked left and right again, and after a long time, he stopped observing and walked behind a rockery, and said to one of the caves: "This brother, you have time to take me back." ”
Knowing that there was no movement around him, Ji Wenyi didn't feel embarrassed at all, he directly stretched out his hand to a big stone lined up in front of the entrance of the cave and said, "Brother Tai, don't think that if you don't speak, you can not help me." ”
The big stone trembled, it was actually a monk, he felt that he had hidden his kung fu, but he didn't want to be easily discovered by Ji Wenyi, and his heart was extremely uneasy.
"At least there is a place to bring me to know, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Ji Wenyi's arm was strong, the monk couldn't bear the pain, and the monk who had no advantage hidden in the shadows was by no means Ji Wenyi's opponent, so he had to give in and let Ji Wenyi go.
Inside the house, Ji Wenhong and a kind of shopkeeper both saw the current scene.
All the shopkeepers are solemn, if Ji Wenyi does something to them just now, I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape, and such a character will definitely affect the situation that is barely balanced now.
"I didn't expect the little young master's strength to be so powerful."
Ji Wenhong did not respond.
"If we don't get rid of him, it will definitely affect our plans."
Ji Wenhong said: "Get rid of him? Are you going to be the enemy of one of the six great factions in the world? ”
"What about the six major factions, they can be busy with Tianfu, as long as the matter is done, the eldest young master will do business with Tianfu, what can Xuan Ming Dao do with you."
Ji Wenhong was silent again, and the shopkeepers behind him knew that it meant acquiescence.
……
But he said that when Ji Longwei saw Ji Longlin, he was very surprised to hear that his youngest son Ji Wenyi had returned home, and he hurriedly went to inform his mother-in-law to prepare a meal, and he brought a group of people to greet him.
As for whether his trip will have any adverse effects, Ji Longwei doesn't care at all, and it can be said that he has already calculated it.
No matter what, Ji Wenyi's most eye-catching identity is a disciple of Xuanming Dao, when he heard that his son came to trade elixirs on behalf of the sect, he made the current decision, Ji Wenyi, who is protected by the skin of Xuanming Dao, is definitely the safest, so why bother with other people's calculations.
Who knew that when he arrived at the place, he only saw the fainting guard, and Ji Wenyi's figure was completely gone.
Until the taciturn monk brought Ji Wenyi back, but it was impossible for him to leave. They were very surprised to see Ji Wenyi descending from the sky, but after seeing the monk who cast the wind, they instantly understood, and they knew that this person was the black hand who took Ji Wenyi.
No matter what the force is, it is unbearable to do life-threatening things to people of the same clan, and as for these executors, they are the unlucky ones who will be liquidated at the first time.
Seeing this, the monk knew that he could not escape, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Seeing this, Ji Wenyi stepped forward, stood in front of the monk, and said, "Daddy, don't be angry, the matter is not as serious as you imagined. ”
When Ji Longwei learned that his youngest son had been kidnapped, he immediately became angry and spread out his manpower to investigate, trying to find some clues. But in fact, he had already guessed where Ji Wenyi was taken, it was the scene he didn't want to see the last time he wanted, and the brothers might even more directly become roommates.
When he saw this monk bring Ji Wenyi back, the suppressed anger on his body naturally wanted to vent on this unlucky monk.
Ji Longwei is not tall, but he is very imposing, this is a natural change caused by those who have been in the upper position all the year round, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes show that he is a little old, even a monk will age, and there are often things that are controlled by manpower.
"Yi'er get out of the way, let your father vent for you."
Ji Wenyi suddenly laughed, maybe it was because his father still thought he was a coaxing child, but this method had already worked on him, and he would really be angry when he solved the person he really had to deal with.
"My father misunderstood, I was not taken captive, but I received an invitation to go voluntarily. This brother just picked me up and down with the power of the wind. ”
Ji Longwei saw that Ji Wenyi was indeed not injured at all, and obviously there was not much conflict, so he put his mind at ease, "Let this person go." ”
Ji Wenyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”
Ji Long Wei Xu hadn't had the title of "Daddy" for a long time, and he was in a trance for a while, but then he became ecstatic again, grabbed Ji Wenyi's arm and looked at it carefully.
"It's been a few years since I went to Xuanming Dao, if it wasn't for the sake of talking about some business for the sect, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to go home, your mother wants to kill you, and often talks about you."
Ji Wenyi misses his hometown a lot, but after all, he has entered the Xuanmen, and once he embarks on the road of seeking Taoism, he will automatically indulge in it and cannot extricate himself.
"I also miss my father and my mother."
Ji Longwei laughed, it seemed that he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
"I think you must have been fascinated by Xuanming Taoism, how are you doing in the sect, can you have an apprentice? We can't treat the teacher badly, and we must prepare a big gift. ”
Ji Wenyi smiled bitterly: "Daddy is too anxious, I haven't had a chance to learn from the teacher now, and I am all taught by my senior brothers and sisters." ”
Ji Longwei thought that his son's talent was inconspicuous in Xuanming Dao, so he was a little unwelcome, and hurriedly said: "If you want to say that there is no way to give gifts to Xuanming Dao, Yi'er wants to give my father a chance to give gifts, so that I can go out and show off with others." Since you don't have a master, it's the same to find a senior brother who calls you capable. ”
Ji Wenyi had a strange look on his face, "If my father can really give a gift to my second senior brother, I'm afraid I will really have a big reputation." ”
Ji Longwei said with a smile: "What kind of ability does your senior brother have to deserve such praise from you." ”
Ji Longlin, who was following behind him, seemed to understand something, and suddenly asked Ji Wenyi: "Ah Yi, this second disciple of Xuanming Dao, is not the current Mr. Gu Xuangu, who is in charge of the whole thing!" ”
Ji Wenyi said: "It is my second senior brother. ”
Hearing Ji Wenyi's affirmative reply, Ji Longwei's legs stumbled directly, while Ji Longlin was amazed.
"This is a big man, son, wouldn't it be him the senior brother who called you to cultivate?"
Ji Wenyi replied with a surprised face: "Of course." ”
But he didn't know that there was no other sect like Xuanming Dao that allowed the disciples to develop on their own, not to mention the teaching of senior brothers, it was a matter of four or five masters teaching one apprentice, or there were no masters who relied on self-cultivation from time to time. The other sects have strict hierarchical factions, and each faction also fights openly and secretly.
"I heard that Mr. Gu may be the next Xuanming Dao Sect Master, Ah Yi, you have to follow Mr. Gu's side well."
After hearing this, Ji Wenyi said disapprerovingly: "Who said that, the second senior brother often mentioned to me that the position of the head of the sect should be done by the senior brother, and he should assist." As for the fact that it is impossible to follow the second senior brother all the time, when my strength is further improved, I will go to worship a master and learn more advanced Taoism. ”
The two brothers were very interested in the affairs of Xuan Ming Dao, and Ji Longlin then asked, "Apprenticeship? Ah Yi, what are you in now? ”
Ji Wenyi said: "Late stage of the Xuan Realm. ”
Ji Longlin looked surprised, "Then don't you have to go to the Moon Gazing Realm before you can apprentice?" Xuan Mingdao's so-called is really hard to guess. ”
Ji Wenyi rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Fourth Uncle really dares to think that even in Tianfu, the Moon Gazing Realm is already an extremely powerful master, what master do you need." You need to improve your strength to the peak of the Xuan Realm, and then practice with your master to break through the barrier of life and death, and achieve the cultivation of the Moon Realm. “
After hearing this, Ji Longwei excitedly patted Ji Wenyi on the back and said, "My son has really grown up, if he can achieve the Moon Realm, our Ji family will really have green smoke on the ancestral grave." ”
Ji Wenyi, who had already changed his frivolity, waved his hand again and again, "How can it be so easy, I don't know how many years of cultivation it will take." ”
