Ji Chang returned to Xiqi alone, and before he left, he was nauseous and retching, so he had to find a guest house and rest for a while.

When it came to the third watch, in a dream, Ji Chang suddenly saw a white-fronted tiger in the southeast, with wings on it, and pounced on him.

Ji Chang drank wine during the day, three bowls, but his brain circuit was normal, and he didn't dare to fight with the tiger after drinking, not to mention that it was winged, so he screamed left and right.

However, only a sound was heard, and the flames rushed into the sky, waking it up, Ji Chang knew that it was a dream, and he was scared into a cold sweat.

At this time, the sky was already dawning, Ji Chang thought to himself: "This dream is the main auspicious, the former Shang Gaozong Wuding once had a flying bear into a dream, and Fu said that between the plates, the tiger gave birth to wings, and it was a bear, isn't this a sign of a flying bear?"

"There is fire rushing to the sky, it must be the image of fire forging, Xia Mu, Yin Jin, Zhou Huo, the West belongs to fire, fire sees gold, then forges, exercise cold gold, it will become a great weapon, and the person who substitutes gold will be fire, this is a great omen of Xingzhou?!"

Ji Chang was secretly excited, although he was still dizzy and couldn't breathe, but his mood was much better.

As soon as he left the inn, he hadn't taken two steps before he was stopped by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said: "Why don't you give the money for the rest room and wine and dinner?"

Ahh

Ji Chang was stunned, he was used to eating the white food of the king in the past few years, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that he came out, he forgot to give money.

He was too embarrassed to apologize, and dug it out of his sleeve, but he didn't take out the money.

Ji Chang was silent for a moment, and said: "I don't have much money in my hand, I am here because of fatigue, can I write it down for the time being, and when I get to Xiqi, I will send it to Gali." ”

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Hugh wants to trick me! Xiqi is far away from here, when you send it, the heartless vegetables are cold!"

"Seeing that you are a Xiqi person, you should know that my Dashang territory is different from other places, under the rule of Dashang, you can't be wild, you can't deceive people, Your Majesty rules the country by law, strictly abide by the law, all parties are guilty, the crime is in all directions, so under the rule, pedestrians give way, the road is not forgotten, there is no dog barking at night, all the people are healthy, the blue sky is clear, Lang Lang Shun Ri, there is never a reason to eat white food!"

"Take out the money well, understand the settlement, let you go, if you still refuse to give the money, I will send you to Chaoge, escort you to the criminal department, and put you in the land, don't regret it when the time comes!"

I just came out, and you want to send me in again?

Ji Chang said: "I will never lose my trust, but I do not have money in my hands." ”

At this time, I saw the shopkeeper come out and ask, "Why are you arguing?"

The shopkeeper told Ji Chang about his lack of food money.

The shopkeeper saw that although Ji Changnian was tall, he was in an extraordinary spirit and had a lot of bearing, and asked: "Who are you? Why don't you even have money for food and lodging? I don't know you, how can you keep accounts? ”

Ji Chang said: "The owner of the shop, I am Ji Chang, I have been imprisoned for five years, I have been forgiven by the Holy Grace and returned to China, I have just left Chaoge, and my bag is empty, so I have this matter." ”

The shopkeeper listened to Ji Chang's self-defense, and secretly thought in his heart, yesterday I heard that Ji Chang was let go by the king of Xu, this person talked extraordinary, even if he had no money to pay the bill, he was not humble or arrogant, and said that he wanted to go back to Xiqi, and he believed eighty percent in his heart.

Can... What about Ji Chang?

The shopkeeper said: "What about King Zhou Guowen? Can you not pay? Is there any reason for a white prostitute? The law of the court and the Chinese government clearly stipulates that if you live and stay, you eat, no matter who you are, you are the king of heaven, and you have to pay! If you don't pay, you are breaking the law!"

Ji Chang was speechless, he never thought that the so-called "law" had been so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Even he couldn't say anything to refute it, and it was natural to give money for food and accommodation.

So, Ji Chang had to take out a jade pendant from his waist and said, "Can this jade pendant be used to offset the account?"

The owner of the shop took the jade pendant in his hand and weighed it a few times, it was genuine!

He secretly laughed, a piece of jade pendant is much more than room and board money!

However, on the bright side, he still said: "Logically speaking, it is not possible, you get what you pay for, but you are a great sage in the world, if I am not accommodating, it is difficult to guarantee that I will be criticized, so you can go." ”

Ji Chang was sulking and left without looking back.

...........

Jiang Ziya left Chaoge and fished Qishui.

On this day, he sighed and wrote a poem: "Since the land of Kunlun, Russia has been twenty years, the merchant capital has been prosperous for several years, and the calculation is in front of the stall; abandon it and return to the western soil, and the water will fish first, and the day will meet Allah, and the clouds will see the sky again." ”

Jiang Ziya wrote a poem and sat under the weeping poplar.

The surging water, endless, travels eastward all night, and survives the eternity of the world.

Jiang Ziya was fishing, while closing his eyes to recuperate, and by chance a woodcutter came to compose a song.

The woodcutter put down a load of firewood, rested for a while, saw Jiang Ziya, approached and asked: "Uncle, I always see you here, fishing with a rod, today I met you, it seems to be a story." ”

Jiang Ziya smiled: "What story?"

The woodcutter said: "It's like a fisherman's question." ”

Jiang Ziya hahaha: "What a question and answer about fishermen!, then what do you want to ask?"

The woodcutter asked, "What is your name?" and why are you fishing here?"

Jiang Ziya responded: "I am Jiang Ziya, and the road number is Flying Bear." ”

When the woodcutter heard this, he laughed incessantly.

Ziya asked the woodcutter, "What is your name?"

The woodcutter said: "My surname is Wu, my name is Ji, my ancestor is from Xiqi, a few years ago, Xiqi was robbed by the Qiang people, and I had no choice but to wander to Chaoge, and earned a little money, so I came here to settle down and go up the mountain to collect firewood for a living. ”

Jiang Ziya asked, "What a Wuji, why are you laughing when you heard my name?"

Wu Ji said: "You just said that you are a flying bear, so you laughed. ”

Ziya said: "Everyone has their own number, what's wrong?"

Wu Ji frowned and said: "At that time, the ancients, masters, saints, sages, with thousands of pearls in their chests, and their abdomen was hidden in boundless splendor, such as the Queen of the Wind, Peng Zu, Fu Shuo, Chang Sang, Yi Yin and other great sages, who were worthy of their own names, and people like you called themselves names, but their names were not true, how could they not laugh?"

"I see you fishing, there is no other operation, you can't make a nest or find a fishing spot, just wait for the rabbit, and then look at the clear waves under the water, you are clearly speechless, you can't fish and fish every day, it can be seen that you are not very smart, are you fishing or messing around?

Wu Ji said, reached out and picked up the fishing rod that Jiang Ziya had put aside, only to see that the fishing hook was straight and uncurved, and there was not even bait.

He stroked his palms and laughed, shook his head at Jiang Ziya and sighed: "Wisdom is not old, no plans are a hundred years old, others are and will bait to catch golden turtles, your bait is salty and hooked, what can you catch?

Jiang Ziya said with a beard: "You only know one of them, I don't know the other, the old man is here, although the name is fishing, but the intention is not to fish, I am here but to guard the green clouds and get the way, dial the clouds and soar into the sky, take the fish in the song, not the big husband, rather take it in the straight, not ask for the song, not set up for the brocade scales, only fish the king and the marquis." ”

After hearing this, Wu Ji laughed and said: "You also want to be a prince! Why don't you go to the imperial examination to become a champion? Also, you are seventy or eighty years old, and you can't resist and can't lift your hands, how can Your Majesty look down on you? Look at your face again, not like a prince, but like a living monkey!"

Jiang Ziya also smiled and said: "You see that my face is not like a prince, and I don't think your face is very good." ”

Wu Ji retorted: "My face is better than yours, although I am a woodcutter, but I can go into the Chaoge hunting team to hunt, and I can go into the mountains and forests to chop wood and burn charcoal, I am happier than you, I see peaches and apricots in spring, lotus red in summer, yellow chrysanthemums in autumn, and plum pines in winter, I can live without worrying about eating and drinking, if I am not about to fight, I am happier than anyone else every day." ”

Jiang Ziya said: "It's not such eyelids, I don't see the complexion on your face is not very good." ”

Wu Ji frowned and said: "You still know how to tell fortunes? I heard that there are hexagram stalls in the four cities of Chaoge, but I am not willing to pay for it, why do you think my complexion is not good?"

Jiang Ziya said: "Your left eye is blue, your right eye is red, and there is a bloody disaster today." ”

After hearing this, Wu Ji said angrily: "I am chatting with you, why do you hurt people with your poisonous mouth?"

He was so angry that he didn't continue to chat, and left with firewood.

A few days later, Ji Chang came here.

He took out the tortoise shell and calculated, and there were days in the dark, and he faintly realized that there was a great sage by the Qishui.

"Today, under the wilderness, the four seas are boiling, the wise man and gentleman are many hidden rock valleys, the night before the dream of the flying bear should be an omen, the sky hangs down the elephant, the great sage is given to help me, it is the blessing of Xiqi, at this time, I should learn from the ancients to seek talent. ”
