Chapter 2 Qi Refiners and Great Sect Masters
"Thank you, brothers. ”
Ji Chang came to greet everyone and hurriedly exchanged salutes with several of his brothers.
"Brother Chang has made a great contribution to my Ji family, so naturally he should come out to greet him. ”
Ji Chang's eldest brother Ji Xiu said with a smile.
"That's right, we have also fought with Rong Di, but we have never had such a feat. ”
Ji Jijian, Ji Chang's other cousin, was full of admiration in his eyes.
His cousin is only half a year older than him, but whether he is studying literature or using soldiers, he has thrown him off a lot.
In the entire family, except for their grandfather Ji Yan, it is Ji Chang who is most admired by them.
I heard that the virtues of the ancient holy kings, the people saw it, like grass and trees and the rising sun, but he did not see it in person. But he was exposed to it and knew that his brother's virtue made the entire Zhou Yuan compete to follow suit, respecting the old and the young.
No wonder two years ago, their grandfather Ji Yan once sighed: "I should be a prosperous person in my world, and he is in Changhu!"
It is precisely because of this that his uncle Ji Taibo and father Ji Zhongyong went to live in Hengshan by helping the seriously ill Ji Kang collect medicine.
Then, Zhou Yuan's government affairs were almost all maintained by Ji Jili, the father of Ji Chang.
The meaning is obvious, Ji Taibo and Ji Zhongyong want to give the inheritance of the lord of Zhou Yuan to his younger brother Ji Jili.
Regarding the decision of his uncle and father, neither Ji Jijian nor his other brothers had any objections.
In terms of talent and morality, Ji Changdu is far superior to them. They can't fight, they don't want to fight, they inherit the state, what they inherit is not power, but more of a mission, the mission of leading the people to be healthy and to lead the country to be strong.
······
"Kao'er, Fa'er, what have you been reading lately?"
Still at the city gate, Ji Chang asked about the studies of his two children.
I haven't seen them for half a year, and these two children have grown a lot, but I don't know if their knowledge has grown.
Although Ji Chang is often outside, he has never dared to relax the teaching of his two children. Every time I return to Zhouyuan, I must take them with me and teach them by word and deed.
Hearing Ji Chang's question, Ji Kao and Ji Fa didn't feel that it was an exception. In fact, when they were on the way, they guessed that when their father saw them, he would definitely ask about his studies.
But the others were amazed.
Ji Chang's two younger brothers, Yu Zhong and Uncle Yu, couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Sure enough, it's the eldest brother, when he asks the door, he is not in a hurry to go back home. ”
Ji Kao bowed to his father and said, "I have been reading the book "Lianshan" recently, tasting the thoughts of King Yu. ”
Ji Fa also said on the side: "I've been reading "Nine Hills" recently to see the style of Kyushu. ”
When Ji Chang heard this, he nodded with a smile: "Even the mountains and the nine hills are all made after King Yu ruled the water, the former talks about the transformation of heaven and earth, and the latter carries the style and landform of Kyushu." I am very glad that you two can read this book. ”
Lianshan Shu, or Lianshan Yi, is the mystery of heaven and earth expounded by King Yu according to the innate gossip created by Fuxi. Those who connect the mountains, like the clouds of the mountains, are endless. King Yu originally started with the Gen hexagram in the gossip, such as the continuous mountain, so the name is Lianshan.
The Book of Nine Hills is the book of Nine Hills after King Yu ruled the water, when Kyushu was demarcated, and the ministers were ordered to write the Book of Nine Hills together. But in Kyushu, the main customs and landforms are written on it.
"When I have time in the evening, I'll teach you how well you read. Now, come with me to meet your great-grandfather. ”
Ji Kao's great-grandfather is Zhou Gong Ji Yan, and Zhou Yuan's ability to have today's stability and prosperity is all due to Ji Yan.
······
In the sixth year of Wu Yi, he moved to Qi Zhou. Ordered Zhou Gong to be his father, and gave him Qiyi. Because it is located in Zhouyuan, the surname Ji has been called Zhou since then.
The mansion of Zhou Gongji is the most central of the entire Qiyi. When Zhou Yuan built this city, it was slowly expanded around Ji Yan's mansion.
At this time, Ji Yan had white hair, held a crutch, and looked at his children and grandchildren.
At the beginning, he inherited the legacy of Zhou Zu and continued to devote himself to the development of the land.
Zhou Zu is Ji Qi, also known as Houji. There is a state for Zhou, which is passed on by Ji, and Ji is naturally the ancestor of Zhou.
He was the son of Emperor Yu and the brother of Emperor Yao, and at the time of Emperor Yao, Hou Ji was a farmer, taught the people to farm, and was the first person to start planting millet and wheat.
As a descendant of Houji, Ji Ji was diligent in agriculture and had a rich harvest in the fields he planted.
Every spring, he and his wife Taijiang go to the field in person, not afraid of hard work, and work hard. In the summer rainstorm, he worked with young adults to strengthen the embankment and dredge the river. In autumn, the yellow leaves are scattered, and he leads everyone to harvest, grind, and store grain. In the winter, the snow was falling, and he was busy visiting his house and asking questions.
However, the land where they lived was surrounded by Rongdi and was really not suitable for farming, so he led the people to the Zhou Plains to the west of Qishan.
After Ji Jian came to Zhouyuan, he began to build city houses, set up officials, reform Rongdi customs, reclaim wasteland, develop agricultural production, divide the people into towns and settle down, and establish vassal states, which led to the current situation.
Looking at the many children and grandchildren below, Ji Yan's old face was full of smiles.
Ordinary public waiting, at his age, more than 100 years old, is almost full of children and grandchildren.
But since he was young, he has been at war with Rong Di, and many children have died in the war.
Until now, there are only three sons-in-law, and all of them have been killed in battle.
He is very satisfied to have so many grandchildren.
glanced at his most admired grandson Ji Chang, and his two eldest children, Ji Yan's face was even more happy.
The Ji clan knows very well that he just wants Ji Chang to become the future master of Zhou Yuan, and he never denies it.
One of the reasons is indeed Ji Chang's virtuous ability, and the entire Ji clan is unmatched.
Another reason is the prophecy of a great witch Zhu to Ji Chang, Ji Chang will have a hundred sons.
Having many children and grandchildren is the best proof of a person's character. And to be able to have a hundred sons shows what a great virtue and grace it is.
"Yo, it's a family reunion, it's really unfortunate. ”
A slightly flirtatious voice sounded, and the first thing Ji Yan wanted to say was suppressed by this voice.
The sound came from high in the sky, and people couldn't help but look up.
In the void, there is a white cloud, and above the white cloud, there is an old man in Geyi, with a crane hair and a childish face, an ancient crown and big sleeves, standing with a smile and looking down.
"It's you, Qiu Sheng!"
Seeing this person, Ji Yan's old face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
When he was young, he visited the Yin capital Moyi, and he had seen this person, Qiu Sheng at that time, was Mu Zheng of Yin Shang, in charge of the construction of the palace.
I didn't expect to see this person after a hundred years.
And looking at this person's face, there is no change in the slightest, as if time has stopped in him.
"Ji Yan, I didn't expect you to remember me. I should also take revenge on you for the original revenge. ”
Qiu Sheng laughed in the air, and then waved his hand casually, and in the void, a violent hurricane blew up.
In an instant, the sand flew away, so that everyone present couldn't even open their eyes.
There were many sergeants and guards, regardless of the hurricane, who reluctantly opened their eyes, drew their bows and arrows, and shot towards Qiu Sheng, the old man in Ge Yi, in the air.
The old man in Ge Yi chuckled, and with a wave of his big sleeves, these arrows fell to the ground one after another.
"Ordinary people, how do you know our supernatural powers?"
Qiu Sheng looked down coldly, and then pointed at Ji Yan.
An inexplicable power went towards Ji Yan, right above his head.
Yes!
Ji Yan screamed in pain, and immediately became delirious and fell to the ground with a bang.
The son next to him, Ji Chang's father, Ji Ji Li, the ancestor of Ji Kao and Ji Fa, hurriedly helped his father up.
"Such a bold qi refiner dared to come to Zhou Yuan to commit murder. ”
A loud shout sounded, and then a man with a multicolored mask appeared next to the old man in Ge Yi and punched him.
Qiu Sheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly avoided this punch.
"I didn't expect that there would be a character like you on top of this little Zhou Yuan, no wonder ······"
He looked at the man with the multicolored mask, and there was no lack of surprise in his heart.
"What's the wonder?"
The man with the multicolored mask suddenly had an extra bone staff in his hand and swept towards Qiu Sheng.
Woooooo
On the bone staff, a strange sound sounded, like a hundred ghosts suffering at night, which made people feel terrifying when they heard it.
Ji Kao watched the battle in the air, his eyes burning.
He already knew that although this world did not expound the teachings and intercept the teachings, and there was no primordial heaven, there must be a power beyond the ordinary.
The man with the multicolored mask, Ji Kao has never seen his face, but he knows his existence.
This is the great uncle, the god of the state, the human ghost, the gift of the earth, the Zhou Yuan, the head of the witches.
I heard that his great-grandfather Ji Kang was able to establish a state in Zhou Yuan, and this great uncle made great contributions.
At first, Ji Kao didn't know what the credit was, but looking at the confrontation in front of him, Ji Kao vaguely understood.
As for Qi Refiner, it was even more of a remarkable name, which made his heart flutter.
······
"No wonder this little Ji clan can gain a foothold between Rong and Di. ”
After a moment of fighting, Qiu Sheng said in a loud voice, and then rolled up his sleeves, and the entire canopy seemed to be covered by him.
There was no light, only the whining sound of a bone staff.
"How can you master such magical powers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the great uncle let out a muffled snort, and then as soon as the sky appeared, he saw him fall from the air to the ground.
"This is my master's supernatural power, why can't I master it. ”
Qiu Sheng sneered, and was about to strike again, when suddenly, his face changed greatly.
On his right hand, strange black hairs began to grow, and suddenly it became unbearably itchy.
"Sure enough, you are good at making this kind of unsightly means. ”
He didn't know how the other party had applied witchcraft to him, and it was difficult to get rid of it all of a sudden.
This is where all parties are most frightened, and all kinds of means are impossible to prevent.
Glancing down at everyone, Qiu Sheng snorted coldly again, waved his sleeves, and floated away.
