Yin Zhaoxian also lamented later that after he was appointed by Lishun Mansion in Wanzhou and on the eve of his return to Ning’an County in Jizhou before taking office, Li Mushu, the young master of the King of Jin, visited him at the inn in a very mysterious disguise.
The purpose of Li Mu Shu’s visit was not made clear at that time. It was to tell him that although the appointment of Wanzhou was an act of support from the Holy One, many people were very nervous and asked Yin Zhao to go to Wanzhou first to calm down. Qi, stick to your heart.
Anyway, Li Mushu didn’t give an exact reason for those words at that time, but Yin Zhaoxian still heard some hidden meanings. It seemed that he was worried about his own safety and whether he would be changed because of his trip to Wanzhou. , that kind of concern cannot be faked.
So on the eve of taking office, the King of Jin sent a letter to Ning’an County, frankly saying that he had secretly sent people to replace the originally assigned attendants and other teams. Yin Zhaoxian did not shirk it. To this day, there are still many good martial arts masters around Yin Zhaoxian.
However, Yin Zhaoxian only complained to Ji Yuan about government affairs, and had no intention of explaining everything in detail. This was not the purpose of inviting his friends over in the first place.
“Okay, okay, I couldn’t help complaining when I saw Mr. Ji. I hope Mr. Ji won’t be surprised. I’m inviting Mr. Ji to the children’s banquet this time, but we have to wait for a while.”
Yin Zhaoxian is very happy that Ji Yuan can come, but the child has not been born yet, so of course it is impossible to serve wine.
“Well, when is your ma’am’s due date?”
Ji Yuan asked knowingly, and Yin Zhaoxian answered with joy.
“The doctor said that if my wife takes good care of her baby and the fetal air is stable, she will give birth to full term in about half a month.”
“Oh, not bad, I still have to congratulate Mr. Yin in advance!”
“Hahahaha… Thank you very much. I have already arranged Mr. Ji’s accommodation. He will stay in the guest house in the back house.”
Ji Yuan also smiled and handed over his hand, so there was no need to be polite to his friends.
The two almost lost track of time when they met and chatted. Although Yin Zhaoxian just complained, most of the day had passed before he knew it. After a home-cooked meal, he originally wanted to take Ji Yuan to the guesthouse in person. But there were official matters that needed to be handled, so I had to let my servants do it for me.
Under the leadership of a servant, he walked through the small back garden, bypassed the corridor, and arrived at several guest rooms in the mansion.
“Please, Mr. Ji, just up front.”
The servant politely led Ji Yuan forward. After arriving at the guest house, he opened the door and introduced the furnishings to Ji Yuan before saying goodbye to Ji Yuan.
“Mr. Ji, please rest here. If you have any requests, just ask me. Just call from the corridor and I will leave first!”
“Okay, thank you!”
Ji Yuan handed over his hand in thanks, and his servants quickly returned the gift.
“Hey.”
When he was far away, he looked back at Ji Yuan over there. He didn’t enter the house when he saw him. He just stood at the door and looked at the courtyard and the sky. He was neither arrogant nor reserved, and his demeanor was graceful and graceful.
Some servants in the house are actually a little curious about Ji Yuan’s arrival. My master never holds banquets for anyone at home, and he never lets people stay in the house. Those who come from afar to give gifts also stay at the inn. And the inn, but this Mr. Ji is so special. He has food and accommodation at the house. It seems that he is indeed the master’s best friend.
Ji Yuan casually looked around in his room. In addition to the basic bed, table, desk, and stools, there were also the four treasures of the study and a pair of Go games. They were not luxurious but were comprehensive.
After seeing it, Ji Yuan also rested here. Instead, he took a step out and left the mansion directly with mist and smoke under his feet.
The streets of Lishun Prefecture are still prosperous. Merchants from all over Dazhen and even neighboring countries come here to buy silk fabrics. The entire city relies on the industry of silk products and shows a prosperous scene. There are inns, restaurants and teahouses everywhere. , even places like brothels and gambling houses are far superior to other cities.
This is just Lishun Mansion, the state capital Yunbo Mansion is probably on a higher level.
Ji Yuan walked through the streets and alleys, relying on the combination of keen hearing and blurred vision. While walking, he could also hear everyone’s comments, and he looked for certain sounds along the way and asked for directions. , came to Miao Sifang.
As early as when he came to this world, Ji Yuan already knew that although a place like the City God protects one party, he cannot take the initiative to interfere in the affairs of the world, especially when it involves the general trend of humanity. The more he relies on the will of a place, The more so.
This fear stems not only from the impact of changes in human nature on the gods themselves, but also from the improvement of their own practice and state of mind, and also from some historical lessons from long ago.
Gradually, it became an unwritten iron rule that the underworld should not interfere with the affairs of the yang world, especially in some major matters.
Even so, whenever a dynasty falls, there are still some cities and towns that are destroyed because they are too closely involved with the dynasty. Therefore, while keeping such things secret, the underworld officials in various places also feel very conflicted.
Of course Ji Yuan went to Miao Sifang to go to the Chenghuang Temple. Although he would not interfere, it is impossible for the Yinsi to not know about this kind of thing. He did not go to investigate the case, but to see the evil spirits in Lishun Mansion’s jurisdiction. and the breeding of resentment.
No matter which city it is in, Miao Si Fang is often one of the most lively and prosperous locations, and the same is true for Lishun House.
When Ji Yuan passed through the streets of Miaosifang, the sounds of shouting and bargaining were also very lively, and there were even more tourists from other places. After all, the vicinity of the Chenghuang Temple in every place is a must-visit place. It is also a place where gourmet restaurants gather.
“Hey, sir, buy a few sticks of incense and give it to the City God. It will ensure that you gain fame and fame, and that you will also make a lot of money!”
“Hey, sir, this incense I have is good. It’s a newly made sandalwood. It costs five cents a stick. I also have a pretty good red candle!”
Ji Yuan walked over and saw several stall owners selling sandalwood candles.
“No, I’m not here to burn incense.”
“No, no, no, really no…”
Some stalls were viewed by two or three people together. The stall owner was so enthusiastic that he even walked out of the stall to introduce and sell incense and candles to the pilgrims passing by. Ji Yuan always refused.
And the incense is too expensive. One stick of incense can be as good as eating noodles at other places, and I’m afraid it’s not just the incense that’s expensive.
The entire Chenghuang Temple was crowded with tourists, and there was almost no quiet place in each hall. Ji Yuan followed the pilgrims through the halls of the temple and saw so many well-dressed people praying and worshiping the gods.
Most of the things they ask for are financial benefits, and there are very few ordinary people among the people who come to worship the gods.
There is an older temple worker next to Ji Yuan. It seems that Ji Yuan is just walking around and looking at the incense, and he is probably a tourist. Although his clothes are not gorgeous, he has extraordinary bearing. A black jade hairpin shines brightly under the light, and it looks like a priceless thing at a glance.
At this moment, seeing that Ji Yuan was no longer moving and had been standing by the side for a short while, he stepped forward and asked tentatively.
“Does this gentleman also want to offer some incense sticks to the City God? If he donates some incense money, the City God will also bless everyone and everything will go smoothly.”
Ji Yuan looked back at the old man and then at the statue of the City God.
“Haha… Your City God has a lot of incense, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t dare to accept so much incense.”
“Uh…what do you mean by this, sir?”
Ji Yuan shook his head.
“There is no deep understanding, just the literal meaning.”
Those who come here to offer incense have gathered incense and aspiration. The city **** here really does not dare to accept it casually. Most of them are motivated by some interests. This incense is “poisonous”, that is, in the temple They won’t respond to some people even if they throw Yao, what they throw is simple probability learning.
“That’s right, sir!”
A sigh came from the side. A middle-aged man wearing a soap robe and a black square crown with a sallow complexion came over and cupped his hands towards Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan also returned the gift sincerely.
“How about we talk outside the temple?”
“It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!”
The man Tongjiyuan asked and answered, and then walked out of the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple in tandem. The temple worker behind him scratched his head and was a little confused. He met two strange people today.
The two of them did not go through the main door, but passed through a side door with relatively few people, and walked leisurely to a small river outside the Chenghuang Temple.
There are also people outing and having fun here, and it seems like there is peace in the world.
Arrived outside, the man in soap robe solemnly bowed to Ji Yuan again.
“Mr. Cang Ming, Dharma Eyes, Mo Jade, with a different head, Tao Yun is restrained and returns to his original nature. If Li expected it to be true, he must be the legendary Mr. Ji, right?”
Huh?
Ji Yuan was confused, the legendary…Mr. Ji?
‘My name is so famous, it has even spread to Wanzhou, and what does it mean to be legendary? ’
If he has some reputation in Jizhou, Ji Yuan thinks he is reliable, but this is Wanzhou.
Ji Yuan could only smile politely while returning the gift.
“I don’t dare to take the words of legend seriously, but my surname is indeed fate, and the ‘Mr. Ji’ who meets the characteristics mentioned by Li Chenghuang, I will be the first to come.”
“Sure enough, it was Mr. Ji. Li was just making a tentative guess. Unexpectedly, he also met your honorable master himself.”
Li Chenghuang also smiled.
“Now Dazhen may lead to troubled times. Mr. Youji’s suppression of all parties is also a blessing to Dazhen.”
‘Wait, what are you talking about? ’
Ji Yuan was a little confused by Li Chenghuang. Could it be that the world has changed so much after he slept for more than half a year?
“I wonder if Lord Cheng Huang can make it clear, but Ji is confused!”
“I don’t dare to call myself “sir” in front of Mr. Ji, please don’t be disrespectful…”
The City God smiled bitterly.
“The general trend of humanity in our Dazhen is uncertain, and the anxiety in our hearts like the City God’s can be compared to candlelight in the wind. Previously…”
“Anghou~~~~”
A dragon roar sounded in the distant sky. Ji Yuan and Cheng Huang all changed their expressions and looked towards the northern sky.
“Moo…moo…roar…” “rumbling…”
The bursts of dragon roars that were clearly out of shape sounded in the sky, and many people in the city looked to the sky. They saw a circle of rain clouds in the northern sky, like a giant beast roaring. A strange sound like an old cow mourning echoed in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Many people look from a distance and see a cloud in the northern sky that seems to have fallen from the sky. It looks more like a dragon than a giant snake.
“Rumble…”
Dark clouds quickly came over amid thunder and lightning, and the sky darkened.
The dragon’s roar and the dragon’s cry are actually two different concepts. The dragon’s roar is long and distant and magnificent, but the dragon’s cry is like an old cow, sounding in confusion. It is obvious that the dragon dragon is in extremely poor condition.
Ji Yuan’s first reaction was to worry about whether it was the Ying family, but the sound of the dragon’s roar was obviously not that of a cooked dragon dragon.
“Where is it?”
“Looking back at Mr. Ji, that place should be in the direction of Guangdong Lake, less than a hundred miles away, and also within the boundaries of Lishun Prefecture.”
The City God answered Ji Yuan’s question with a serious look on his face.
