Lanke Chess Edge

In the body of the swallowing beast, the island suspended in the mist is not small, and the pavilions and pavilions on the Lingshan Xiushui are not bad. Its scope is like a small sect. This one swallowing beast can support a small city.

Zhou Xian led the people who planned to choose beautiful places on the island to introduce one by one. These places are often arranged in formations, which are reflected in the surrounding fog and can see the scenery outside. You can see the mountains and land below. See the clouds and sunshine in the distance.

When she entered the island, Zhou Xian had been paying attention to Ji Yuan with her eyes slightly closed. Not only her, Ju Yuanzi and Lian Baiping also paid part of their attention to Ji Yuan.

This Mr. Ji felt drowsy not long after he got on the Sky Swallowing Beast. Although he could walk and hear, it gave people the feeling that he was clearly in a hidden state.

"Seniors, fellow Taoists, there is a spiritual spring here, which is connected with the spiritual veins in Xiaosan's body. The spiritual energy in the spring water is extremely active. Whether it is used for cooking tea or refining water, etc., it is very outstanding. Yes, idlers and others cannot get close, if you want to use it, you can come and get it yourself."

When everyone's attention was briefly on the small pool at Zhou Xian's feet, Ji Yuan opened his eyes.

"Mr. Ji, are you back to your senses?"

Lian Baiping asked in a low voice, Ji Yuan nodded, and smiled apologetically at the people around him and Zhou Xian.

"Sleep for a while, by the way, Fellow Daoist Zhou, where is Ji's guest house, I have some insights, I need to retreat and sort it out."

Zhou Xian was startled, not daring to be negligent, and hurriedly said.

"Sir, input spiritual energy into the jade pendant of the ship that I gave you, and you will feel it. The formation is also controlled by this jade pendant."

"Okay, then everyone, continue, Ji is rude, and I will leave first!"

Ji Yuan cupped his hands towards the surroundings, and the others naturally replied "Don't dare", after Ji Yuan turned around and shrank away, everyone looked at each other in blank amazement.

Everyone present had a relatively clear understanding of what Mr. Ji was like. It was definitely not a trivial matter for such a person to suddenly have the feeling to retreat.

"Mr. Ji, have you realized some of the most fundamental principles of heaven?"

Lian Baiping was both curious and worried, glanced at Ju Yuanzi who was stroking his beard, and said with melancholy.

"Sir, it is good to be enlightened... But I don't know when I will be able to leave the customs..."

Ju Yuanzi was also slightly taken aback, thinking about it on the side of the Tianji Pavilion, he really found it very difficult. Mr. Ji, an expert in the immortal way, said that the retreat may be just a nap for a few days, or it may be more likely to be closed after the retreat. I don't know the year and month, if it's a year or a half, it's okay, but if it's ten or eight years or even tens of hundreds of years, it's not easy.

But Ju Yuanzi knew more about Ji Yuan, and comforted Lian Baiping.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, Mr. Ji has his own measure, and he won't let Tianji Pavilion wait for too long. Based on Ju's understanding of Mr. Ji, before the Swallowing Beast arrives outside the Heavenly Secret Cave, Mr. must leave the customs. Ju is even more curious now. What is..."

"Why did Mr. Ji retreat?"

"That's right, Lian is equally curious!"

Zhou Xian also looked at the direction of Ji Yuan's departure, and after regaining consciousness, the rest of the people in front of him seemed to have lost interest.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is no need for an introduction. I'll go to the inn by myself."

"Okay, then don't bother me, junior. If you have any needs, you can tell the nearby Weimei sect monks!"

"Well, goodbye!" "Farewell!"

As soon as Ji Yuan left, everyone was guessing the reason for Mr. Ji's departure, and they had no intention of doing any sightseeing, and Zhou Xian, who was also a little absent-minded, naturally left happily. The Weimei Sect never engages in such formalistic politeness. It was Tianji Pavilion and Ji Yuan who were too special, so they were more enthusiastic this time.

The guest house of Lian Baiping and Ju Yuanzi is the closest to Ji Yuan, almost one on the left and one on the right, with a distance of less than twenty steps. After closing the courtyard door, the two of them seemed to be able to faintly smell a scent of ink, but they couldn't see the inner hall of the courtyard.

After looking at each other, Lian Baiping and Ju Yuanzi still didn't go in to disturb Ji Yuan's plan, they cupped their hands and went to their own guest rooms.

In an attic somewhere on the island, Jiang Xueling, who was resting on the table, was listening to the junior's report.

"Mr. Ji went to retreat?"

"Well, I don't know when I will be able to leave the level. I promised my ancestors to exchange the way of refining weapons before."

Jiang Xueling was thoughtful.

"It's okay, there will always be a chance."

Of course, Ji Yuan's retreat was not what many outsiders guessed. There was neither masterpiece nor tranquility. He just laid out the Four Treasures of the Study in his guest house, and took out the deduction scroll of the art of heaven and earth in his sleeve that had not been moved for a long time. The method of Yanshu he was accustomed to began to deduce in detail, refining the gains obtained from dreaming.

This time, Yan Shu Ji Yuan's pen writing is like flowing water. In the process of writing continuously, some key blank places in the past actually appeared faintly golden, and began to combine with the surrounding text to evolve into golden inscriptions. Turning a blind eye, sometimes closing his eyes and sometimes narrowing his eyes slightly, but his hands never stop.

"The so-called method of swallowing the universe is naturally inevitable for people to avoid. If the sleeves are stretched, the sky will be dark, and the law will be dark, the sun and the moon will not have light, but the brilliance will be covered..."

At this moment, Ji Yuan writes as if there is a god, this god is not the god of Shinto, but his own primordial spirit and the sympathy between heaven and man in the body.

Jin Jia was still standing in the courtyard, and the little paper crane and a group of small characters were quietly surrounding the table, looking at it very seriously.

...

More than two months later, Lian Baiping opened his courtyard door and looked at the courtyard where Ji Yuan was located. The faint fragrance of ink became more and more obvious. Get up, but what he counts is not fate, but Yunzhou that has already left.

It was already snowing heavily in many places in the south of Yunzhou, and in a town on the East Sea in the distant old land of Zuyue, a man in his early twenties, with oily hair and powdered face and expensive clothes, was carrying a pole to the market.

The bazaar seemed to be very lively, not only the common people, but also some Dazhen sergeants, and the surrounding people were not afraid of them, but wanted to sell things to them.

The man put down the basket and immediately yelled loudly.

"Come, come, Dazhen's military lords, come and have a look. I have quite a few good things at home, and they are suitable for bringing back to Dazhen. The price is absolutely fair!"

"Come and see, all of them are good things!"

The man yelled, but the people around him at most looked at him, not many around him, he thought for a while, and simply poured out all the things in the basket.

After a bang, the empty basket was turned upside down by the man. First, he simply straightened out the things on the ground, then took out a scroll from another inscription, unfolded it carefully, and placed it on the upturned basket. .

"Let's all come and see, jade carvings and jade hairpins, as well as excellent calligraphy and paintings and the consecrated 'Fu' character."

After fiddling around, some people finally came to take a look. The word "福" on the basket was very pleasing at first glance. No matter how comfortable it looked, it was an old farmer who was the first to attract people to ask about the price.

"How much are your things here?"

"Hey, the price is fair!"

"The word '福' is good, well written, how much is it?"

When someone asked the price, the man frightened the person who asked the price by opening his mouth to ask for the price.

"I heard from my father that this word was a gift from an expert. There is a family motto in the family, so I must pass on this word. If it wasn't for my itchy hands before... Cough, anyway, the price is ten taels of gold!"

"What? One broken word, ten taels of gold? You might as well grab it!"

"Yeah, the price is too high."

"What needs ten taels of gold?" "A broken word."

"Let me see." "Where is it?" "That's it!"

As soon as the words of ten taels of gold came out, it obviously had an effect, attracting many people to look around, and the man who sold things was slightly happy. He didn't expect anyone to buy words with ten taels of gold, otherwise the people who bought them would be really stupid , he just wanted this effect.

"Then you bargain, don't you have to bargain in business? I really want to tell you that this word is really opened by an expert. It was originally posted on the door of our house. I often read it when I was young. It has been brand new for more than ten years. It’s brand new, and the ink doesn’t fade. Later, when I moved to this big house, the elders kept the characters and put them away. It’s been so many years. Look, the ink is as new as it is!”

"Hey you young man, isn't this just a new one?"

"That's right, don't think we are easy to fool!" "Yes, you have spoken words for more than 20 years, how can there be such a new word!"

When the people around were booing and laughing, a Dazhen military officer surnamed Chen heard the movement in the distance, but his heart moved. He subconsciously touched his chest, which contained a letter from home.

'Is someone really selling 'Fu'? '

"Come on, let's go over there and have a look." "Okay, let's join in the fun!"

At the officer's suggestion, several sergeants at the side also walked over there together, while the man selling things was arguing with reason.

"Don't believe me, you guys, this word is really so magical, and the New Year is coming, please ask the word 'Fu' at home, to get a lottery to attract wealth and ward off evil spirits..."

Seeing a sergeant approaching, the man raised his voice a little bit.

"Everyone, our life is much more peaceful now, and there will be no less changes in the future. This is the arrival of blessing. Isn't this word also suitable for the occasion!"

"Then we can find a gentleman to write." "Exactly."

"That's different! My word is a baby, it's older than me!"

The officer surnamed Chen also got close at this time. When he saw the word "Fu" on the basket for the first time, there was a feeling that the word was emitting a faint light. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, the light disappeared again, but the feeling just now was different. Unbelievably real.

"How do you sell this word?"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Jun, this man is crazy about money, and he sells it for ten taels of gold!" "That's right, it's gold, not silver!"

"Twelve taels? Is it so expensive?"

The officer surnamed Chen was surprised, and the man smiled embarrassedly.

"Mr. Jun, buying and selling is all about bargaining, but this word is really good. If you want, uh, eight taels of gold is enough, just use this word. Although there is no signature, it is definitely a master's pen!"

The officer surnamed Chen almost subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to agree, but he suppressed the impulse when he thought of the content of the letter, and said to the man sincerely.

"You, take this word home. Does your family know that you sell the word '福'? Since you say it's a treasure, why do you sell it?"

"Mr. Jun...uh, you...I am just doing a small business...you don't like this word, so buy something else."

The man hesitated for a while, and then began to sell other things on the booth. Anyway, he attracted a lot of customers.

Not to mention, the two small baskets were casually loaded and casually placed on the ground. Many of them were very exquisite, not high-end goods, and the prices of other things were considered fair, and the sales of the stalls were also opened.
