As the old beggar said, this rope is neither gold, nor water, nor wood, nor fire, nor earth, and is not like the five elements.

The vast majority of all things in heaven and earth are among the five elements, every grass, tree, bird, beast, and even wind and thunder all belong to the five elements, and it is as if this thing is not a substance.

But with the eyes of the old beggar and Ji Yuan, he can't be mistaken.

Since calligraphy and painting are tied with this rope, will there be something special about calligraphy and painting?

Thinking so, Ji Yuan picked up the scroll on one side again and slowly unfolded it.

However, the content of it disappointed Ji Yuan and the old beggar, this is a map of the country, and there is a book "Daxiu Mountains and Rivers" on it, and the name of the painter, it is the name of the old emperor Chu Ze, it is obviously unlikely that there is anything supernatural, otherwise the old emperor is a master who can't even see through Ji Yuan and the old beggar.

Ji Yuan refocused his attention on the golden wire rope in his hand, looked at the old emperor on the side and asked.

"Your Majesty, where did you get this golden rope?"

Before today, the old emperor would only think that this was just an ordinary rope woven of gold wire, where would he remember about the rope, so he had to look at the old eunuch beside him.

"Gong Shun, do you know?"

The old eunuch actually couldn't remember it clearly, a golden wire rope, there were so many such things in the palace, how could he deliberately remember it, but the old emperor asked, and he could only answer hard, and thought about it and took a step forward.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are many gold wire ropes in the palace, and the eunuchs who collect goods will take some from the manufacturing office every once in a while, and this gold wire rope may be made by skilled craftsmen in the manufacturing office. ”

"Manufacturing?"

The old beggar narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Hehe, this rope is by no means an ordinary person can be made, and it is not a gold thread on it......"

Speaking of this, the old beggar suddenly thought of something and faced the side of the jade passage.

"Master Men, your picture scroll will be used again. ”

"Yes!"

Men Yutong took out the scroll from the things in his sleeve, and handed it to the old beggar with both hands, as if he understood the old beggar's thoughts, and Ji Yuan also handed over the golden wire rope in his hand.

The old beggar grabbed the golden silk rope, gently wound it around the scroll for a few weeks, and then tied it, after the golden wire rope was tied, the original faint extraordinariness of the picture scroll did not disappear, nor did it change because of the gold thread, but it was to give Ji Yuan and the old beggar a feeling that it should be like this.

"I see, this thread was originally tied to a picture scroll of a pig. ”

Originally, I didn't find anything in the Tianzihao Treasure House, and characters like Ji Yuan and the old beggar usually left, but the reason why I didn't leave was mainly because Ji Yuan still had a faint feeling that he couldn't explain.

As soon as he found this golden thread at this moment, Ji Yuan's feeling disappeared, and he couldn't help but have a kind of realization that he knew that there was nothing worth looking for.

In fact, this hedgehog picture scroll itself is only a little extraordinary, just equivalent to a talisman, and it can be easily sealed, whether there is this golden wire rope or not has little impact, but the current situation, at least let Ji Yuan understand that the two come from the same source.

As for this gold thread, it doesn't look like a magic weapon at all, but the material is special, and it's more like the person who painted it at the beginning, and used it to tie it up.

Ji Yuan took away the golden wire rope again, returned the hedgehog painting scroll to Men Yutong, and then said to the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, shall we take this golden rope?"

Even if he knew that this golden rope was definitely extraordinary, the old emperor knew better that it was useless for him to take it, and it was an important favor to Ji Yuan and the old beggar, of course, he would not have any opinions, and hurriedly responded.

"I have already said something in advance, what the two immortal elders like, just take it, this thing is naturally the same, it's just a golden rope. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ji Yuan arched his hand towards the old emperor, although it was only a shallow arch, but it was also the first time to salute the old emperor, which made the latter, who had been in the position of emperor for a long time, inevitably feel a little excited.

"The immortal chief is polite, by the way, I have already ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a dinner, why don't the two immortal elders stay and eat together?

Men Yutong also hurriedly said.

"That's right, the two immortal elders might as well have dinner in the palace, right?"

"Hehe......"

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Don't be nervous, I won't leave yet, but the palace meal is exempt, Ji Mouke agreed to cook a meal for the children of the Qiao family to pay tribute to the two old hens. ”

The old beggar put his hand into the collar without any image, scratching the itch on his back, and also refused.

"Hey, this Mr. Ji is going to cook, how can I not taste it when I always call Hanako, Mr. Ji, what are you waiting for, let's go, don't go again It's dark." ”

A lot of things have happened today, it is already afternoon, and although it is still early in the dark, the old beggar is indeed very curious about Ji Yuan's craftsmanship.

Without the consent of the old emperor and the national teacher, he left first, and the old emperor opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say if he could go together.

Ji Yuan and the old beggar had left, and Qiao Yong, who was beside the emperor, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"Uh, Your Majesty, the guilty minister, should the criminal minister go back?"

The old emperor was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Qiao Yong.

"Qiao Aiqing, are you still here, hurry back, remember to entertain the two immortals for me, by the way, what ingredients do you want, the imperial dining room will send them directly! Don't be stunned, other guests are waiting for the host, go quickly!"

"Yes, yes, the guilty minister will receive the decree, and the minister will go immediately!"

Qiao Yong confessed and hurriedly left, and the old emperor and others also left the imperial study at the same time, but they saw Qiao Yong, who was leaving quickly, but they couldn't see Ji Yuan and the old beggar.

"National Teacher, what do you say I should do?"

Standing outside the imperial study, the old emperor frowned slightly and looked at Qiao Yong's departing back, and asked about Men Yutong beside him.

"Your Majesty has advanced and retreated in moderation and has dealt with it appropriately, and no one can do it better than Your Majesty. ”

After thinking about it, Men Yutong said again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has retired first. ”

"The national teacher doesn't stay for dinner?"

Men Yutong sighed and raised the picture scroll of the hedgehog in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what secrets are involved in this painting, my Taoism is not enough to carry this secret, I can't keep it, let alone dare to keep it, so I'd better go and hand it over to the two immortal chiefs." ”

Before, Ji Yuan and the old beggar cast a spell at the Heavenly Master, and the Huimen Yutong was actually a little worried that the two masters would take the scroll directly, but the Immortal Correction Sect really wouldn't do this kind of thing, so he returned it to him later, just told him to remember to keep it well.

But this meeting Men Yutong thought left and right and felt that it was wrong, and felt that he didn't dare to continue to keep this painting, so he moved the idea of handing it over to the two masters, maybe the two masters had already expected it, and they didn't say it before.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the two immortal elders also said one thing before, on the side of Pozi Mountain in Bianrong Mansion......"

......

When Ji Yuan was cooking in Qiao's house in person, the immortal master and the eunuch who passed the decree from the Heavenly Master in the capital had already set off, and they happened to meet with the person sent by the Bianrong Mansion to report.

Before the meal was ready, the national teacher Men Yutong came to Qiao's Mansion and solemnly left a picture scroll of the pig, Ji Yuan did not come out in the kitchen, and the old beggar went to the front yard to accept it.

Ji Yuan cooked, in addition to cooking the dishes in Jizhou, he also tried to restore the fish and meat made on the Xuanxin Mansion flying boat before, although there was no golden scale fish in the second day, but there were jujube nectar and Ji Yuan's cooking techniques, even an ordinary grass carp was cooked very well, and even the small thorns in it were removed, making it more convenient for children to eat, and the taste naturally did not need to be said.

During this period, Ji Yuan generously took out one of the thousand bucket pots and poured wine for everyone, although it was the white one thousand bucket pots, but the wine in it was also very beneficial to people, and the aura contained in it was easier for people to absorb.

In the dead of night, it was still the small courtyard of the guest house, Ji Yuan held the gold thread in his hand, and the old beggar held the picture scroll of the pig in his hand, and the two sat opposite each other in front of the stone table in the courtyard.

"Mr. Ji, it is more appropriate for you to keep this hedgehog painting scroll, and I always call Hanako I only hope that you can tell me about the deep meaning of this painting. ”

The old beggar pushed the scroll in front of Ji Yuan, who unfolded it on the table, without the aura and mana, it was like an ordinary painting, but the things on the painting were more vicious and strange.

"Mr. Lu, it's not that Ji doesn't want to say, what is the deep meaning of this painting Ji doesn't know, as for the things such as the pig, the golden crow and Bi Fang, I feel that there is a lot to say, but I feel that I can't say why. ”

This is the truth of Ji Yuan, after all, he didn't specialize in this in his previous life, he has an impression and can say some, but it can't be very detailed, but when he hears this in the ears of the old beggar, it will inevitably make him understand different meanings.

"Okay, it seems that it's appropriate to talk more, I always told Hanako to go to rest first, and Mr. should go to bed early. ”

The old beggar didn't force it, stood up, patted his buttocks, and turned freely and entered the guest room opposite.

Although I don't know much today, I vaguely have a feeling of facing the secrets of the ancients, even if I think about it at the moment, the vibration in my heart is still unabated.

This kind of thinking also knows a secret that must be extremely amazing, and it is normal for Ji Yuan to be reluctant to say more.

At the moment of closing, the old beggar looked at Ji Yuan in front of the stone table in the courtyard through the crack in the slowly closing door.

'The longer I know you, the more I can't figure out you, Ji Yuan, who are you sacred?'

However, even if the origin of Ji Yuan is unknown, but characters such as the old beggar, who have a clear mind and sympathy between heaven and man, are very trustworthy in Ji Yuan's character, and know that this person's path must be dignified.
