Lan Ke Qi Yuan

Chapter 53: Suddenly, an autumn wind came overnight

Views:

Wei Wuwei suddenly recalled a private conversation he had with the old man when he was identified by the old man as the new generation head of the Wei family.

At that time, the old man asked him: "Do you know why it was you?"

Wei Wuwei replied shamelessly: "Of course I am highly intelligent and well-read, and my martial arts skills are also excellent. No one knows that I practice martial arts. I am both civil and martial, resourceful, and know how to be patient and show weakness. Who else can you choose if not me?"

“Hahahahahaha…those are of course the basic conditions, but there is actually one biggest reason!”

"What's the reason?"

The old man looked at Wei Wuwei very seriously and said, "You are lucky!"

Thinking back now, Wei Wuwei felt that the old man was absolutely right, and he was so damn lucky!

Now in the small courtyard, Wei Wuwei was still excited, while Ji Yuan was observing the jade pendant carefully. After the spiritual energy circulated in the blue jade for a circle, it was retracted into his fingertips again, and the luster on the jade pendant gradually dimmed and returned to normal.

"There is indeed something interesting going on here!"

When he checked it just now, he could clearly feel that there were some things inside the jade pendant that he could not see through. Perhaps it was just like the so-called restrictions in the novels of his previous life.

Not only that, because part of the spiritual energy was absorbed by the jade pendant, Ji Yuan seemed to be able to feel a weak magnetic force through this momentary induction, which was obviously biased towards Wei Wuwei.

It seems that even if someone snatches the blue jade away, it may not necessarily lead to a fairy relationship. I just don't know whether the man in black yesterday had a way to find another way or he didn't know about this at all.

'It has nothing to do with me anyway!'

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan smiled and handed the jade pendant back to Wei Wuwei, prompting him to take it carefully with both hands, and then hold it in his hands to rub and examine it carefully.

Looking at Ji Yuan who had started playing chess again, Wei Wuwei asked with a dry mouth and very cautiously:

"Mr. Ji, what is this Yuhuai Mountain? It's where the immortals are."

In fact, Wei Wuwei is now almost certain in his heart that Ji Yuan is definitely an extraordinary hermit master, maybe even an immortal, but he dares not say it out loud and only dares to talk about his own affairs.

Facing the three pairs of pricked ears in the yard, Ji Yuan also found it funny, but this kind of thing is something that if you know it, you know it, and if you don’t know it, you don’t know it. There is not much he can say, and he has no intention of pretending to be smart and making up stories.

"I have never seen what Yu Huai Mountain is like. As for whether it is a fairyland or not, it must be so to ordinary people like us."

Wei Wuwei tried his best not to get too excited and asked in a low voice with anticipation.

"I don't know how my Wei family can use this jade to find the immortal fate, please teach me, sir!!"

This really hits the nail on the head, but Ji Yuan himself doesn't know the name. The name Yu Huaishan was known to the Ning'an City God.

"Mr. Wei, I am just an ordinary man, but my horizons are slightly broader than those of ordinary people. As for where the immortal place like Yuhuai Mountain is located, haha... I don't know!"

Ji Yuan placed a piece with a smile and looked at Wei Wuwei who seemed a little at a loss.

"I just heard that Yuhuai Mountain is located in Jizhou, so it should be in the north. That's all I have to say. Mr. Wei, take care of yourself!"

After saying this, Ji Yuan decided to ignore Wei Wuwei. There was nothing more to say anyway. He, Ji himself, wanted to take a look at Yuhuai Mountain.

"Ah, I really envy this kind of blessing from my ancestors. It's all my fault for not having a good father in this life!"

Wei Wuwei is not an ungrateful person. Mr. Ji has obviously told him implicitly that this is all he can say. If he is still not satisfied, then he is stupid. Does he really think that a master has no temper

Wei Wuwei stood up from his seat, took two steps away from the stone table, stood up straight, clasped his right hand with his left hand, slowly bowed forward ninety degrees, and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Ji, your kindness today will be unforgettable to our Wei family. If there is anything we can do for you in the future, please let us know. Just let us know your identity and the Wei family of Desheng Mansion will do their best!"

After thinking for a while, Wei Wuwei took off a piece of jade from his waist and placed it on the table.

"This is a token of trust! Please accept it, Mr. Ji. Even if you are short of money, you can exchange it for some money!"

After paying his respects to Ji Yuan and putting down the jade pendant, Wei Wuwei also politely bowed to Master Yin, then walked out of Ju'an Pavilion with excitement, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

Once outside, Wei Wuwei could no longer control his excitement. With his heart pounding, he started to run in small steps. He ran all the way to the entrance of Tianniufang, rubbing his chest to calm down, and became the steady and wealthy businessman again.

Wei Wuwei planned not to tell anyone about what happened today except the people he absolutely trusted at home, let alone publicize it to the outside world.

Since Mr. Ji has said several times that he is just an "ordinary man", it is equivalent to telling Wei Wuwei directly that he does not want to be disturbed. Then he naturally understands what to do, otherwise it will be bad if good things turn into bad things and good karma turns into bad karma.

. . .

In the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion, after Wei Wuwei left, Yin Qing asked Ji Yuan curiously:

"Mr. Ji, do you really not know where Yu Huaishan is? I have never seen what a deity looks like!!"

"Yes, I also want to see what a god looks like, Mr. Ji. I hope he is similar to what I think. As for whether I really don't know about Yu Huaishan, Xiao Yinqing, when have you ever seen me lie?"

Ji Yuan picked up the food box from the ground, took out the cakes one by one and placed them beside the stone table, while asking Yin Qing with a smile.

"But I've only known Mr. Ji for a few months, and I didn't see you lie in the past!"

“Qing’er!!!”

Yin Zhaoxian was really frightened by his son this time. This brat dared to say anything.

"Hahahahahaha... Little Yin Qing is right. Mr. Ji is not a man who never lies, but he didn't lie about this matter! Also, children have to consider other people's feelings when speaking. I'm fine here, but you have to go out in the future, so you have to be careful about what you say!"

Yin Qing is cute, but we can’t let him develop into a naughty kid.

"Mr. Ji is absolutely right. This child needs to be strictly disciplined. He must be polite in his actions and not speak hurtful words!"

Ji Yuan rarely seriously agreed with Master Yin's way of disciplining children and nodded solemnly.

"Master Yin is right. The outside world is not as peaceful as Ning'an County. The market is like this, the rivers and lakes are like this, and the officialdom is like this. Even those evil spirits can be attracted by words. We must be careful!"

"The little guy even dared to confront you, Mr. Ji. Sir, I am generous, but I am not ambiguous when it comes to playing tricks on people!"

Ji Yuan thought sinisterly, and then made another move as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, don't waste these cakes from Miaowailou, use them together!"

"It's better to obey than to be respectful!"

Yin Zhaoxian was no longer polite and started eating with Ji Yuan. Only little Yin Qing had a bitter face. He felt a little sad when he saw his father holding back his energy.

What Ji Yuan admired most about Yin Zhaoxian was that even though such a miraculous thing had just happened, he was able to chat, play chess and eat cakes with him in a relatively normal state of mind in such a short time after being shocked. Even though he had ordinary desires and longed for and envied many things, he was able to abide by the rules and restrain himself.

It is rare, Ji Yuan feels, even rarer than being truly indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is also the reason why he can learn something from Yin Zhaoxian many times.

With pastries, Ji Yuan and Yin Zhaoxian's chess game lasted until dusk. Both sides won and lost. One's confidence soared, while the other just thought that the other was giving in to him to save his face. Both were in a good mood.

The last game of chess was over, and both sides were collecting their chess pieces. Yin Qing was helping by picking up a few black pieces and throwing away a few white pieces.

"Master Yin, I may leave Ning'an and travel far away soon!"

This matter had already been decided when the news about the Sword Intent Post was learned last night and the secret of the Sword Intent Post was cracked this morning. The tomb of the hero Zuo is definitely not nearby, and Ji Yuan is just knowing it in advance.

Yin Zhaoxian paused. This sentence came too suddenly, and it slowed down his gesture of picking up the chess piece.

Yin Qing was about to shout something, but was glared at by Yin Zhaoxian, who reacted faster this time, and he held it back.

"When does Mr. Ji plan to leave?"

"It's not clear yet. It may take three to five days at the fastest, or six to seven days at the slowest!"

The main thing is to find a way to familiarize yourself with the general map of each state and prefecture in Dazhen, and also make an appointment to say goodbye to the county city god.

There was silence in the courtyard for a while. Yin Qing lay on the stone table dejectedly. Yin Zhaoxian put the last two white pieces into the chess box before continuing to speak.

"I know that Mr. Ji is not an ordinary person. He must have his reasons for leaving. I don't want to ask more questions. If you can let me know, I will see you off. If it's inconvenient, I can only wish you a safe journey!"

"Okay, thank you Master Yin for your kindness!"

Ji Yuan also smiled and bowed, then rubbed the listless Yin Qing.

As if he thought of something, he looked up at the jujube tree in the yard and just sighed.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the dates this year. I hope Master Yin and Little Yin Qing can pick the ripe ones and share them with the neighbors!"

"Yin will definitely do it, please rest assured!"

When Yin Zhaoxian answered, he was also looking at the jujube tree, but the two of them did not return the greeting as usual.

After this conversation and a few more words of small talk, the Yin family's father and son were obviously not in high spirits anymore. Plus it was almost time for dinner, so they said goodbye and left soon.

After Master Yin left, Ji Yuan also went back to his usual routine, going out to eat, returning home to practice, and then returning to his room to sleep on time.

That night, the flowers of the jujube trees in the courtyard withered and fell, replaced by the green jujubes that gradually grew bigger on the branches. By dawn, the veins of the jujube trees in the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion were mostly yellow, but the branches were already laden with fruits.

In the early morning, when Ji Yuan woke up and opened the door, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He stared at the jujube tree for a long time before he spoke with emotion:

"Suddenly, an autumn wind blows in overnight, and the fruits in the garden are ready for people to pick! Thank you!"
