Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Road to Ji Kao, Crowned by the Heavenly Master
The morning light is faint, and it is the time to say goodbye.
Headed by Ji Jili, the main clansmen and ministers of the Ji clan are now at the gate of Qiyi City, seeing off Ji Kao and Fu Shuo.
Of course, few people know the name of Fu Shuo, they only know that this is an envoy of Dayi merchants.
For most people, this time it was mainly to send Ji Kao as an envoy to escort the twelve Zhai kings into the Shang capital.
Farewell is always sad, and Ji Kao originally wanted to copy a poem to relieve his sadness.
Subsequently, he could only shake his head, he knew that Chu Ci Han Fu, he would be the poems of Yuefu, and he would memorize Tang poems and Song poems, but unfortunately, in this era, no one appreciates these poems.
Especially the poems with allusions, the allusions have not yet appeared, and Ji Kao is no matter how strong his heart is, he can't say it.
At this time, the poems are made in line with things and feelings, mostly four words, rarely three or five words, not plain, and the words are simple. Often among the four words, there is a deep connotation, which should be pondered repeatedly. Ji Kao's habit is really unacceptable.
"It seems that I am destined not to become a famous writer. ”
When leaving, Ji Kao sighed leisurely, and felt melancholy in his heart.
You must know that when his father Ji Chang taught him to write with Ji Fa, Ji Fa was a four-character obscure phrase, and Ji Chang often sighed that Ji Fa's writing was far better than Ji Kao.
Ji Kao could only be silent, the eternal quatrains, the eternal poems, in this world, can't scare people. He, the son of King Wen and the brother of King Wu and Duke Zhou, is destined to become a famous Duke of Wen.
Ji Xiaoyou stayed. ”
Just as Ji Kao was about to set off, the voice of Baicao Zhenren came.
"Baicao Zhenren, why are you here, is there something wrong with the kid?"
Ji Kao hurriedly saluted, this real person, on Qishan, was of great help to him.
He didn't know that Baicao Zhenren had been in Zhou Yuan for a day, talking to Fu and Ji Jili and Ji Chang.
Baicao Zhenren looked at Ji Kao with a smile and asked, "I'm here to come to Zhou Yuan just to ask you a question, are you willing to join my Qishan lineage?"
When he said this, he seemed to smile, but in fact, he was quite nervous.
He had already talked with Fu Shuo and Ji Shi, and finally came to a unified opinion, and everything was decided by Ji Kao's personal opinion.
Ji Kao was stunned for a moment, he had been on Qishan for a few months, and he had never seen Baicao Zhenren say this. This has just come down the mountain, why did Baicao Zhenren still chase after him and ask.
He turned his head to look at his grandfather and father, and saw that they were all just smiling faintly and pointing to his heart.
Ji Kao understood that this was for him to ask himself.
Ask yourself, are you willing to enter the Qishan lineage?
The cultivation of Qishan is undoubtedly great, and it has been preaching medicine for the benefit of the common people, and all the people have been blessed by it. In the future, there will be more people who may be blessed.
But are you willing? Is the cultivation of the Qishan lineage really your own will? What is the purpose of your own cultivation?
A series of questions entangled in Ji Kao's heart, making him extremely entangled.
For a moment, he couldn't give himself an answer, and his eyes were foggy.
Everyone next to him looked at him, all of them were anxious about him, this question, wish is willing, unwilling is unwilling, what does it mean not to speak?
Ji Kao ignored their impatience and continued to think.
At this time, the red sun rises from the east, its color is clear, its light is vast, and it is sprinkled all over the mountains and rivers.
Ji Kao smiled at the red sun, and had the answer in his heart.
"Baicao Zhenren, please forgive Ji Kao for being rude, Qishan is a great virtue, but it is not the path I want to take. ”
Ji Kao didn't understand what path he wanted to take, but he didn't want to limit himself. The imperial capital of Yin Shang, the sin of the cultivators of the world, or the Wanfang Terrace, may allow him to find the answer.
The Zhuxia civilization has just been born, and he is both a witness and a creator, and he still needs to explore what the future holds.
The age of mythology, the age of history, a lot of fog has to be lifted by him personally, at least for now, he doesn't want to limit himself.
"Alas, it's me Qishan who is not blessed. ”
How difficult it is to get a good apprentice, Baicao Zhenren at this time, it is inevitable to regret in his heart, but he is helpless.
"Zhou Gong, I want to ask, has Ji Kao been crowned?"
Suddenly, Baicao Zhenren asked Ji Jili such a question.
Ji Jili hurriedly said: "I haven't done the crown salute yet." ”
At this time, the people of Zhuxia, a custom that is different from the barbarians of the Quartet, is the coronation ceremony. Of course, there is no time for the crowning ceremony, and there are no various etiquettes, as long as the crown is done before marriage.
For example, Ji Kao's father, Ji Chang, got married after the crowning ceremony at the twelve, and gave birth to Ji Kao at the thirteenth.
"I want to make a reluctant request to crown Ji Kao, I wonder if Zhou Gong agrees?"
"That's really a blessing for Kao'er, and I also ask Baicao real people to be crowned. ”
Ji Jili can't see where that Baicao Zhenren really has a very good impression of his grandson. At this time, of course, he will not refuse Baicao Zhenren, and he will increase his favorability.
Baicao Zhenren took out a strange crown hat from his sleeve, which was made of feather skin cloth and silk, which looked extremely old. This crown hat is not high, the top and the crown edge have criss-cross stripes, as if the latitude and longitude of heaven and earth, in the crown body through the top of the short part, there are auspicious cloud patterns, but quite exquisite.
"Although the crown hat is old, it is left by the ancestor of Qi Bo, and it is said that it was given by the Yellow Emperor himself, remember to cherish it. ”
Hearing the gift from the Yellow Emperor, Ji Kao hurriedly bowed: "If you have valuables, please take them back." To crown the test, a piece of cloth can be used. ”
Many ordinary men are crowned, but they are tied up with cloth, and few are as solemn as the monarchs of all parties.
"Precious or not, it's just a hat. The mind of the ancestor is not on the table, and you just accept it. ”
Baicao Zhenren pressed Ji Kao, helped him put on the crown and hat, and then nodded.
Ji Kao didn't know that this crown hat, in ancient times, was known as the crown of the Heavenly Master, and it was made by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan himself and given to Qi Bo. There is a heavenly meridian, there is a latitude below, and in the middle is the auspicious cloud totem used by the Yellow Emperor, a crown and the heavens and the earth.
"You have been in Qishan for many days, and I have seen everything in my eyes. Although there is no name of master and apprentice, there has long been a master and apprentice. Today you will travel far away, and I will give you another gift. ”
Baicao Zhenren took out a huge cloth from his arms and gave him to Ji Kao.
"Su Wen is a volume, which is the question and answer between the ancestor of our lineage, Qi Bo, and the Yellow Emperor, and it is also the beginning of our lineage practice. This book does not contain the method of cultivation, but it directly talks about the source of cultivation from the medical path, and I hope you can gain something from this book. ”
After giving away the book, Baicao Zhenren ignored Ji Kao's thanks, floated up, and went back to Qishan. The Dharma meeting on Qishan had been waiting for him for a whole day, and he didn't know if those Qi Refiners were still there.
Looking at Baicao Zhenren's back, Ji Kao was grateful and puzzled, Baicao Zhenren, how kind he was treated, he couldn't accept apprentices, and he also crowned him and gave him books.
"Kao'er, since Baicao Zhenren gave him a generous gift, you can accept it for the time being. If there is an opportunity in the future, we will also return the gift. ”
seemed to see the problem of his eldest son, Ji Chang said beside him.
Ji Kao thought to himself, nodded, looked up to the east, the red sun had risen, and it was time to hit the road.
I went to the business capital, and I don't know when I can return?
