Ten days later, Asuwaji, who was drying grass on a simple shelf and busily preparing hay for the winter cattle and sheep, met the dart master Zhao Chengping again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Chengping brought a special news, after asking a knowledgeable fortune teller to identify the rubbing cloth, the fortune teller actually recognized, the original four words are the Central Plains text is not false, but it is an ancient style that has disappeared for dozens or hundreds of years that has not been commonly used, and can distinguish two words, and the other two are unrecognizable due to unclear rubbing, if there are clearer words, the fortune teller guarantees that they can be identified.

The old herdsman Asuwaji was excited, and after nearly twelve years, someone was finally able to recognize the font on the jade pendant. Asuwaji did not hesitate at all, he entrusted the cattle and sheep and Asule to the clansmen, drove a few horses day and night, and went south to Gongcheng with the dart master Zhao Chengping.

The two of them barely rested along the way, both afraid that something would go wrong with the jade pendant they were carrying, and they were anxious to find out. For three days and three nights, the two came to Gongcheng.

The two came to a small courtyard in the north of the city, and there was a signboard on the wall of the courtyard that read "Tiebu Shensuan", Zhao Chengping stepped forward and knocked on the door, and shouted: "Is the old gentleman here, is the old gentleman here?" I am Xiao Zhao, a dart master who came to ask for a hexagram a few days ago, and I came to visit again today. ”

Hearing the sound of Xi Suo walking, the door opened, and a white-haired old man, thin and ruddy, but his face did not look old, his spirit was strong, his eyes were restrained, and he said, "How is it, young man, am I accurate?

Zhao Chengping let Asuwaji enter the door first, and echoed the door: "You are always accurate, you are really accurate, but today I am not here to ask for a way to crack it, I want you to identify an object." ”

"Oh, is it the cloth from the last rubbing? I'd love to open my eyes, too! Take it, but you'd better be clear, or I'll be powerless," said the fortune teller, as he walked into the house.

The three of them sat down, and Zhao Chengping said to the fortune teller: "Old gentleman, this is Uncle Waji on the grassland, which is the cloth he rubbed. ”

Asuwaji didn't say much, took out the jade pendant that wrapped the outer three layers and the inner three layers from his arms, and handed it to the fortune teller in a trembling manner.

The fortune teller looked silent, his face did not have the slightest wave, he reached out to take the jade pendant, first weighed it, and then looked at the four words on the surface of the jade pendant, and also lit a lamp next to it, and specially took a light on the jade pendant. Said leisurely: "This old man, this jade pendant is your family heirloom?"

Asuwaji was stunned for a moment before replying: "It's not a family heirloom, but an accident found many years ago, and it is related to the life experience of my grandson Azule, so I sincerely ask the old gentleman about the ins and outs of this jade pendant, and I am grateful." ”

"In that case, there is no need to be grateful, and I will tell you everything I know. To the south of the Beiban grassland is Shuntianzhou and Xizeguo, and further south is the Central Plains, and now the Central Plains is the world of the Southern Mu Dynasty. The children of the official eunuchs of the Central Plains wear this kind of jade pendant, or hang it around the neck, or tie it around the waist, which is not only an important decoration, but also often has three or six nine and so on. The shape and texture of the jade pendant can distinguish the size of the official rank and the depth of the family. This piece of jade pendant is "gold-phase jade, beautiful and flawless", which is not something that ordinary people can have. Besides, this font, now most of the people in the Central Plains are proud of writing Xiao Ti, the Xiao family is one of the four major families in the Central Plains, so Xiao Ti is also extremely common, but the text on this jade pendant is not Xiao Ti, but the ancient style of a hundred years ago, there are very few people who know this ancient style, and it happens that the old decay has a little research. The text on this jade pendant is called 'Ke Si Liang Qiu', which probably means that the younger generation should inherit the aspirations of the ancestors. The fortune teller did not stop, and said word by word.

Asuwaji listened in a fog, as if he understood or not. Cheering up, he asked, "Sir, can you see the origin of this jade pendant, or can you know the background of my grandson?"

"Brother, how easy is this! This Nanmu's eunuch family and family are like carp across the river, it is not easy to find, I can only tell you, if you really want to solve the mystery of this jade pendant, you must go to Nanmu in person, and by chance, you will be able to get your wish." The fortune teller pinched his fingers and shook his head.

Seeing that there was nothing to ask and the fortune teller had nothing to say, Asuwaji paid the hexagram and left with Zhao Chengping, and the fortune teller did not get up to send him off.

Asuwaji came and returned in disappointment, the fortune teller knew these words, and pointed out that he went to the Central Plains of Nanmu to find the mystery of his life experience, but between the North Barbarian and the Central Plains, the west is separated by Shuntianzhou, and the east is separated by the Xize Kingdom, and there are mountains and rivers between these two countries and the Central Plains. Asuwaji thought of giving up and letting Azule live his life uneventfully. But the thought of Azule asking why his eyes were different from his friends shattered his selfishness and desire to escape. Azule will soon be twelve years old, how can he find his relatives as soon as possible?!

Zhao Chengping and Asuwaji led the horses slowly on the streets of Gongcheng, Zhao Chengping broke the silence first, he said: "Uncle Waji, for today's plan, you can only take one step at a time, the Central Plains is thousands of mountains and rivers away from here, and you always have to make some preparations." What are your plans?"

Asuwaji nodded, shook his head again, nodded again, as if with great determination, and said, "Indeed, the wings of the eagle in the grassland are hard, so it must be allowed to fly high." In this way, tell Azule the truth first to see if he has the determination to break into the world. ”

Zhao Chengping hurriedly helped: "Yes, the first step is to leave the tribe, and as for the future, it depends on the chance." I have heard a news here that the Gongcheng Craftsman Academy is going to recruit a group of apprentices on the grassland, you should consider it, if your clan is willing to recommend, you can enter the Craftsman Academy as an apprentice, if you don't have a way, I can also help, after all, I and Azule are like-minded. ”

Asuwaji listened to Zhao Chengping's suggestion, and in the current situation of taking one step at a time, it is also a good choice to enter the craftsman academy to study, and remembered that although his tribe is relatively small, after all, it is also a partial branch of one of the four major families of the Northern Barbarians, and there must be people from the family in Gongcheng or Wangcheng who can help Azule recommend him to enter the craftsman academy.

After Asuwaji said goodbye to Zhao Chengping, he quickly returned to the tribe alone.

On the occasion of Azul's twelfth birthday, the man entrusted by Azouagi finally responded. At the same time, Asuwaji also had no reservations about Azule, and told the news that Asule, who had nothing but a jade pendant he picked up on the grassland twelve years ago, and that Azule should be from the Central Plains. and informed Azule that he would arrange for him to settle down with a clansman in Gongcheng, and then go to the Central Plains to find relatives after learning his skills.

When the young Azul heard the news, he didn't ask a word, believing that his grandfather had told him all he knew, and after a sleepless night, he decided to go to Gongcheng first according to his grandfather's arrangement, not only to fulfill his grandfather's wishes, but also to solve the mystery of his own origins.

Waking up in the morning, Azule rode his beloved foal and ran through all the pastures and tents of the tribe in one go, and finally said goodbye to his grandfather, Asuwaji.
