Chapter 92: Going to the North Gathering Grottoes
Hearing Wang Laoqi's words, Ji Chou did not answer, but just nodded.
The main purpose of Wang Laoqi's visit was to confirm why Ji Chou joined the Jie Sect. Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, Ji Lianyu asked Ji Ling'er to help and guide Ji Haoran, who had just joined the Yanjian Sect.
, this move made Ji Chou unhappy, so he switched to Jiejiao.
Wang Laoqi is convinced of this, because although Ji Haoran has always been mean to Ji Chou, Ji Chou is very concerned about this uncle of the family, and only when it concerns Ji Ling'er can Ji Chou's attitude towards Ji Haoran be changed.
Such a huge change has occurred.
Many times the truth is not necessarily the truth. Wang Laoqi thought he knew the truth, but he didn't know that the truth he knew was just what Ji Chou wanted him to know. The real truth was only known by Ji Chou himself.
Since Ji Qiu had to get up early and hit the road tomorrow, Wang Laoqi didn't stay too long. After congratulating him, he asked for some reward money on the pretext of pleasing him, and left with satisfaction.
Just after Wang Laoqi left, several Taoist priests from Jie Jiao came and respectfully called Master Ji Qiu, and asked why they came. It turned out that they were here to help him move. He had already joined Jie Jiao and should have his own place to live.
Already.
Ji Chou refused on the grounds that it was getting late, but several Taoist priests insisted on asking him to go to his residence to have a look, saying that if he was not satisfied with it, he could still change it.
Ji Chou had no choice but to go with them. These little Taoists were about the same age as him, but he was two generations older than them. He wanted to be approachable and get along with others, but they always treated him poorly.
Be polite, cautious, and respectful.
The actions of these little Taoists also overturned Ji Chou's understanding of Jie Jiao. He originally thought that Jie Jiao's sect had lax rules and that young and old would be harmonious. But now it seems that this is not the case. Jie Jiao's hierarchy is also very strict.
Elders may not care about family rules and etiquette, but juniors must abide by them.
Ji Chou originally thought that the residence Jie Jiao prepared for him was a Taoist house in the palace. He never thought that it was not in the palace, but in a separate courtyard outside the palace. It was condescending and had a good view. The courtyard
There is a two-story wooden building there, which is antique, quiet and elegant. It is very different from the wooden house he lived in before.
The reason why he has such a good residence is also due to his status as an elder. All the juniors live in the Taoist house, and all the seniors with the "Thunder" generation have their own separate residence.
The Taoist lighted the candles, held them to guide the way, and took Ji Chou to look up and down. It could be seen that no one had lived in this courtyard for a long time. It should have been idle before. After asking the Taoist, it was indeed the case, which made Ji Chou feel at ease.
, all conflicts and hatreds in the world come from infringing on the interests of others. Except for some things that must be fought for, those insignificant things can be given up. It is not that you are timid, but that once a conflict occurs, it will be serious.
It involves and wastes one's energy, making it impossible for one to concentrate on what one wants to do.
It was already the second watch when he returned to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, and he was about to leave at the fifth watch. Ji Chou did not dare to delay, so he simply washed up and then went to bed.
Halfway through the fourth watch, someone came over to call Ji Chou. The person who knocked on the door was a man. His voice was a bit unfamiliar, with a distinct Nanlinghuang accent.
I stood up and opened the door, and found three young people standing outside the door, two men and one woman. They were no one else, but the three people from Pearl City who had previously chosen to worship the Jie Cult. Pearl City was also south of Zhongzhou and east of Nanlinghuang.
It is not far from Nanlinghuang, so it has this accent.
"I've met my junior uncle." The two young men smiled and greeted Ji Qiu. They had the title of seniority, so they addressed themselves as junior uncle.
"This, this, don't shout like that." Ji Chou waved his hands in embarrassment. These three people were all older than him, so they shouted at him very awkwardly.
"Uncle Junior, my name is Uncle Jiang, and this is my brother Jiang Zhong," the leading young man pointed back at the woman standing at the foot of the steps, "This is Jiang Xi, whom you should have seen yesterday."
Jiang Xi was very tall, half a head taller than brothers Jiang Bo and Jiang Zhong. He had white skin, beautiful appearance, and plump body. Seeing Jiang Bo introduce himself to Jichou, he waved to Jichou cheerfully and said hello, "Hello, little one."
Uncle Master."
Ji Chou didn't know how to respond, so he could only smile and turn sideways, "Please come in quickly."
Uncle Jiang waved his hands and said, "No, no, we are here to call you to gather in the square in front of the palace. It is getting late, so hurry up and get ready."
Ji Qiu prepared face wash last night, washed his face in a hurry, and poured herbal tea to rinse his mouth.
Just as I was about to go out, I suddenly heard the sound of a foreign object falling to the ground. I turned my head and saw that what fell to the ground was the Five Elements Plate.
Seeing this situation, Ji Chou frowned slightly. There was a sound-transmitting bug from the Witch Clan living in this copper plate. If he kept it around, he would always feel like he was being spied on.
He originally didn't want to bring the copper plate with him, but he changed his mind after turning around. He couldn't keep this thing with him and had to throw it away. He was afraid that the bug would fly back if he threw it too close, so he just took it out and threw it away on the way.
Thinking of this, he turned back and picked up the copper plate.
The moment he picked up the copper plate, a deep voice came from the copper plate, "Keep it with you, it will be beneficial."
Ji Qiu had already held the copper plate in his hand, but the sudden sound startled him. He let go in panic and the copper plate fell to the ground.
"Uncle Junior, hurry up." Uncle Jiang urged outside the door.
Ji Qiu agreed in astonishment, and carefully picked up the copper plate. He wanted to stuff it into his arms, but after hesitation, he stuffed it into his waist bag. There was silver in the waist bag, and he didn't know if he would use it for this trip.
Ji Chou went out and closed his door. He followed the three people to the square in front of the palace with full of doubts. The previous voice came from the copper plate. There was no doubt that someone was talking to him through the sound-transmitting bug. The person who spoke was undoubtedly this sound-transmitting bug.
The owner of the insect is a wizard from the Wu clan, but he has never dealt with the Wu clan before and does not know any wizards.
However, the voice he spoke before was deep and deep, and he did not sound like someone with evil intentions. I just didn't know what this person meant by self-interest.
Before they reached the main road, Ji Chou discovered that brothers Jiang Bo and Jiang Zhong were talkative. In fact, they were easier to get along with because they were talkative than serious. It was easy to get along with them. Without Ji Chou asking, the two took the initiative to talk about their trip.
Detailed steps for Juku State. There are more than a thousand people going to Juku State this time. Half of them are accompanying people. The so-called accompanying means driving their own mounts to transport others. The other half are the ones who had previously attacked the Soul-Suppressing Alliance by the Counter-Blood Guards.
A monk who lost his mount in the battle.
Everyone was together on the way to Juku Prefecture. After arriving in Juku Prefecture, each sect split up and stayed in Juku Prefecture for a total of three days. At that time, each sect would regroup and return together.
Since Juku Prefecture is a gathering place for foreign races, going to surrender the mounts is like taking chestnuts from the fire, and there are many dangers. Therefore, each sect sent a leader on this trip. The one sent by the Jie Sect was Master Xiaolei. Who was sent by the other sects currently?
Don't know yet.
When the four of them arrived at the square in front of the palace, many people had already gathered in the square, and they still lined up according to their previous positions. This time Ji Chou already had a sect, so he took the initiative to stand on the far right side of the square.
The Yanjian Sect's queue was located in the middle of the square, separated from the Jie Jiao queue by Chanjiao. Ji Chou turned around to look for it and saw Ji Linger standing in front of the queue and Ji Haoran standing next to Ji Linger.
Ji Haoran was talking to Ji Linger, but Ji Linger rarely responded to him. When he realized that Ji Chou was looking at him, Ji Linger waved to him without hesitation.
Ji Chou responded with a smile. Ji Haoran turned around to see Ji Chou and nodded to him with a straight face. Ji Chou smiled awkwardly in return. He never thought that his relationship with Ji Haoran would become what it is now. To say that they turned against each other would turn into enemies.
Not necessarily, but there is always awkwardness and unfamiliarity.
It is difficult to get dry food for a long journey, so everyone in the kitchen carried baskets and distributed dry food to everyone who was about to leave. Five days of dry food for each person, one day for each round trip, and three days of stay in Juku Prefecture.
It was a big event for so many people to go to Juku Prefecture. Before departure, Ji Lianyu personally gave a lecture, which was concise and concise, emphasizing three issues. First, pay attention to safety and avoid disputes. Second, do not bully the weak and kill foreigners in order to recruit them.
Lord. The last point is that no matter whether you are raising birds or beasts, try to be as normal as possible. The implication is that you don’t catch some weird things, which are difficult to raise.
Most of the monks who went to Juku Prefecture this time were not going there for the first time. They all had some experience, and there was no need to go into too much detail.
Ji Chou and the twelve people from the four major cities, as well as a small number of senior monks who had just been promoted, had their own sect leaders talk to them, and there was no need for the leader of the alliance to elaborate in person.
After a simple explanation, everyone prepared to set off. The two of them rode together. Ji Qiu was naturally led by Xiao Leizi himself, while Ji Linger did not drive Ji Lianyu's black eagle, but was carried by others.
Seeing this situation, Ji Chou was relieved. In fact, Ji Lianyu had two mounts. In addition to the black eagle, there was also a golden-winged roc. Ji Linger could definitely borrow the black eagle. The reason why he didn't do this was undoubtedly because he didn't want to burden Ji Haoran.
, deliberately keep a distance from it.
As soon as the fifth watch comes, a large number of birds take off from everywhere. When the birds take off, they will make happy chirps, high and loud, one after another.
Chapter completed!
