Chapter 3 Return to Yunyang
The two young women were crying sadly, but after hearing Ji Haoran's words, they suppressed their sadness and bowed to express their thanks.
Seeing Ji Chou's return, Ji Haoran introduced the two young women to each other. The older one was seventeen or eighteen years old, named Yun Zhi, and the younger one was fifteen or sixteen years old, named Yun Rong.
The two girls knew etiquette very well. Although they were sad and sad, they still did not forget to thank Ji Chou.
Ji Chou responded casually, and at the same time looked at the two sisters. Although they were sisters, they were both beautiful, but their facial features were very different. The elder sister Yun Zhi had a round face and big eyes, while the younger sister Yun Rong had slim eyebrows and beautiful eyes.
This place is quite far away from Yunyang City. There are no carriages and horses, and the bodies are not allowed to be carried. In desperation, we have to make do with digging soil and digging pits, and burying them on the spot.
Ji Haoran would not reach out for something like this, so it was hard for Ji Chou to dig for two hours with a spatula before he found a grave where they could lie down and bury them together.
After they were laid to rest and buried, the tomb was raised and the tomb was sealed. It was already sunset and night was covering the mountains.
The two sisters knelt down and cried before following them on their way.
Walking in the forest at night, the mountain road was rugged, and he took two women with him. The movement was very slow. It was not until midnight the next day that the group of four walked out of the lush forest and mountains.
Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at Yunyang City surrounded by water, with flat suspension bridges and hundreds of meters high walls.
This Yunyang City is so prosperous, but you can see people coming and going, the flow is endless, the beautiful buildings and jade buildings are row upon row, the streets in the city are orderly, with vendors coming and going, as well as the displays of various shops, and all kinds of beautiful jade and treasures.
, grains, rice grains, silks and satins, laid horizontally and vertically, are placed safely without any care or concealment, which shows that the people's customs are simple, the public security is excellent, and it is a safe place to live in a peaceful and prosperous age.
"Mr. Ji, never thought that there would be such prosperity in this world?" Yun Zhi looked around in surprise.
"Ashamed, ashamed, this prosperous age is due to the Yellow Emperor's military parade in Yunyang." Ji Haoran smiled.
"Is this where the Yellow Emperor held his military parade?" the two sisters looked at each other knowingly.
Ji Haoran cleared his throat and turned to speak, "That's why, after becoming an Earth Immortal, Huang Di temporarily stopped his retreat practice and devoted all his energy to the governance of the human race.
Facing the increasing pressure from the Shura tribe, the Yellow Emperor began to make preparations to unify the human race. He built Yunyang City on the banks of Hongze Lake in Zhongzhou and recruited warriors and monks. One hundred and forty-two years later, the last brick was marked with a dragon-shaped emblem.
Stones were built on the city wall, and the Yunyang Giant City was finally completed.
At this time, the Yellow Emperor, who had reached the golden immortal realm, was supported by all the people and reviewed a million troops and 100,000 monks in front of the newly built Yunyang City. With the completion of the review, the Yellow Emperor issued a famous announcement directly in front of the statue of Nuwa.
"The Edict of Inheriting the Heavenly Qi Yun and Conquering the Four Seas", the grand ambition to unify the prehistoric world and gather the strength of the human race to resist Shura, I and..."
Ji Chou coughed twice and interrupted Ji Haoran's long speech, "Uncle, we will be home soon. How will we arrange the arrangements for these two girls?"
Only then did Ji Haoran remember the business, "Well, you go back and check the situation first. I will take the two girls to the inn and go back after they have changed their clothes."
Jichou nodded in agreement and walked towards the red lacquered gate not far away. When he reached the gate, he found that the huge courtyard was already full of people, all young men and women, all the leaders of the younger generation in Yunyang City.
Hundreds of them lined up vertically and horizontally, standing neatly.
Most of the people were familiar with him and waved to him one after another. Ji Chou waved in response. At the same time, he slowly came to the backyard. Ji Dongyang's study room was located in the northwest corner of the backyard. The door of the study room was closed, and there were voices inside.
Looking around and seeing no one around, Ji Chou walked around to the outside of the study room, leaning against the wall and listening carefully from the corner.
"Blessings are immeasurable, Heavenly Execution reappears, and there is an unparalleled calamity. Three of us were sent by the Soul-Suppressing Alliance to come to Yunyang to select camphor materials. Nine other monks were sent to the three cities of Mingzhu, Liuguang, and Luohan to select.
Please work together and achieve success together." The voice of a middle-aged man.
"How many people should be selected from each of the three Pearl Cities?" Ji Dongyang's voice.
Another gloomy voice said, "We only ask Yunyang to make the selection. Your Majesty, when will Young Master Ling return?"
Ji Dongyang said, "My son has received the letter from Fei Ge and is on his way back."
"This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed." A clear and sweet female voice said.
Ji Chou couldn't see the face of the person speaking, so he put his feet on his feet and tilted his head, trying to take a closer look.
"Restrain yourself and return to etiquette. Don't listen to what is inappropriate." The voice of a middle-aged man.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Ji Qiu felt a pain in his forehead. He touched it with his hand and found that the palm of his hand was wet with water droplets.
"Ji Chou?" Ji Dongyang's voice.
"Third Master, it's me." Ji Chou answered anxiously.
"Where is Haoran now? Ask him to come quickly to see the three real people." Ji Dongyang urged.
"Yes." Ji Chou nodded and walked away.
After leaving the palace, they rushed to the inn. The inn was a place for officials to rest while delivering messages. Daily necessities were all available. Ji Haoran was sitting across from his two sisters drinking tea.
Ji Chou urged urgently, "Uncle, let's go quickly. Those three monks have been waiting for you for a long time. The Third Master wants you to go see them immediately."
Hearing Ji Chou's words, Ji Haoran hurriedly put down his tea cup, stood up from his seat, and wanted to go, but then hesitated.
"Young master, go away, business is important." Yun Zhi said softly.
Ji Haoran thought for a moment, then tilted his head and looked at Ji Chou, "I'll go back first. You take them into the mansion and place them in the pavilion next to my residence. We'll worry about it after I finish this matter."
Ji Chou grinned, "Huh?"
Ji Haoran waved his hand at him, then turned back to look at the two sisters, "The monks from the Soul-Suppressing Alliance are here in person. Something big must have happened, and there are priorities. I will take the first step, and the two girls will follow him into the house and wait for me.
I’ll talk to you again after you’ve seen them.”
After Ji Haoran finished speaking, he lifted up his clothes and stepped out.
After Ji Haoran left, only the Ji sisters were left in the house. Ji Chou frowned and felt worried. Although these two women were pitiful, they were outsiders. How could they be brought into the palace so easily?
But Ji Haoran had already given instructions, and they couldn't be left here. After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head helplessly, "Let's go, follow me."
The two sisters nodded their thanks and followed him into the palace.
After settling the two sisters, Ji Chou returned to his residence without worry. Ji Dongyang's three brothers all have their own houses. The three houses are adjacent and independent, with one master and two auxiliaries. Ji Chou lives in the house left by his grandfather.
Located to the east of Wangfu.
Although the east courtyard is less than half the size of the palace, it is still a spacious courtyard. However, there are not as many servants as the palace. There is only an old servant named Fu Bo, who is over seventy years old and serves as a porter, guardian and handyman.
He didn't know what Uncle Fu's real name was, but everyone had called him Fu Bo since he could remember.
When Ji Chou came in, Uncle Fu was sitting at the door and taking a nap. Uncle Fu sat at the door firstly to watch the door, and secondly to greet the master in time when he came back. This was also a habit he had developed over many years.
But Uncle Fu was very old and had no vision or hearing. He had no idea that his young master had returned. Ji Chou did not disturb him. He first put down his belongings in the east chamber and then went to the well to get water to wash his face.
At this moment, someone spoke from outside the gate. It was a young woman's voice, "Uncle Fu, where is Master Jichou?"
Uncle Fu was woken up by someone coming, he opened his eyes dimly, stood up on his knees, "Ah?"
"Where is your young master?" The visitor knew that he was hard of hearing and raised his voice.
"I'm going to study, I'm going to study with Haoran." Uncle Fu replied.
"I'm washing my face, what's going on?" Ji Chou answered loudly.
A person who looked like a maid looked in from outside the gate and said, "Young Master Ji Qiu, the prince invites you to come over and participate in the selection."
"Let me go?" Ji Chou asked in surprise.
"Yes, you go quickly, the selection will begin soon." The maid said.
"Oh." Ji Chou wiped his face, shook off the water stains on his hands and walked towards the door.
"Master, are you back?" Uncle Fu came up to greet him.
"I'm not back. You're dreaming. Go on to sleep." Ji Chou grabbed Fu Bo's shoulders and pushed him back and forth. After laughing, he followed the maid to the palace.
After entering the palace gate, he saw Ji Dongyang leading three people in Taoist costumes from the backyard to the front hall. Ji Qiu walked quickly and got to the end of the team before the four people arrived.
Ji Dongyang is tall, powerful in appearance, has a long beard, and is unsmiling.
The three people walking behind him were two men and one woman. The two Taoists were all in their forties, one was tall and the other was short. The taller one was thin, the short one was fat. The taller one had a sad look on her face, with droopy eyes, not sad but sad.
The short and fat man has a happy face, and the corners of his mouth are raised, indicating that he is not happy but happy.
The only female Taoist is about the same age, six feet tall, and stunningly beautiful. Her fly whisk is hanging back, and her bun is high. Although she wears a wide Taoist robe, her graceful figure cannot be concealed.
The four people moved forward under the gaze of everyone and stood up on the steps. Ji Dongyang was in the front and the three in the back.
Ji Dongyang stood proudly and looked around. Everywhere he looked, everyone's heart palpitated and held their breath.
After looking around, Ji Dongyang said in a deep voice, "Descendants of the Ji family, please listen to the real details. Countless evil spirits have appeared in the Southern Wilderness in recent times. They call themselves the blood-reverse guards, killing monks and committing evil acts. It is reported that the mastermind behind this incident is
The False Saint Tianzhu who was freed from the seal not long ago is so stubborn that no one but the Soul-Suppressing Alliance can re-seal him. Now three real people from the Soul-Suppressing Alliance have come to Yunyang to select camphor materials and join the alliance to teach the law.
."
Ji Dongyang paused briefly when he said this, and then said again, "This matter is both an opportunity and a challenge. The Soul-Suppressing Alliance is a combination of the Yanjian Sect, the Youyun Sect, the Shinto Sect, and the Chanjie Sect.
Collecting thousands of wonderful methods and gathering thousands of unique skills, if you can be selected, your future fortune will be unlimited. However, the pseudo-holy way of Heaven's Punishment is profound, and the anti-blood guards are bloodthirsty and cruel. People who are not hot-blooded are not allowed to snipe, and those who are not brave are not allowed to fight. Chaosheng
Even if he dies, it is unknown."
Ji Dongyang raised his voice when he said this, "Let me ask, do I, the Ji family's son, have the desire to learn the magic and learn unique skills?"
"Yes!" the candidates shouted in response.
"Ask me again, do I, a man of the Ji family, have the courage to sacrifice my life to resist the enemy and kill myself to be a benevolent person?"
"Yes!" Those waiting to be chosen shouted in response.
