The fairy father

Three months later.

Xiqi City.

Under the blue sky, Li Pingan and the young Ji Dan sat on a high pile of millet, watching his 'father' Ji Chang and a group of Ji family members making a political show.

Isn't it a political show?

The dignified Xibohou did not think about how to improve people's livelihood, develop production, train soldiers and horses, deal with unjust cases, and liberate slaves, but used his limited time on such acts of winning people's hearts.

Apart from anything else, Ji Chang's efficiency in harvesting crops was too slow.

Those officials and generals who followed Xibohou to the fields, as well as the people, common people, and slaves in the distance, who dared to harvest faster than Xibohou? Don't want to die?

This led to a significant decrease in the overall harvesting efficiency, and Ji Chang obviously played a counter-effect.

"Old Four! Why are you lazy again!"

Ji Fa ran over carrying a roll of crops.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Jifa's body has grown up completely, and he has become a handsome dark-skinned strong man. Jifa's face cannot be said to be unhandsome, but it can only be said that he is too brave and masculine.

Li Pingan smiled and said, "I am helping everyone to calculate when it will rain. As long as I sit here, it will not rain."

Jifa glared and asked, "Ah? Everyone said that you learned a lot in Chaoge City. They also said that you can communicate with gods in dreams. Is this true?"

"They lied to them, and you believed it, second brother."

"I said it!"

Jifa jumped onto the millet pile with a brisk step, took off the water belt around his waist, drank a mouthful, and handed it to Li Pingan.

"Here! Mountain spring water over there on the ranch!"

Li Pingan's expression was a little bit disgusted. He snapped his fingers to the side, and the female guard immediately came forward with tea.

Ji Fa directly stuffed the water hose over: "Just drink it! You have too many things to do!"

"Haha," Li Ping'an laughed dryly, "Second brother, you came back to harvest the crops? Aren't you guarding the border in the west?"

Ji Fa sighed: "What else? My father asked me to come back to experience farming, so I had to come back to experience farming. My father said that we must remember the difficulty of farming and understand the hardships of the people's labor. We can't kill those slaves at will. Slaves can also work for everyone... These are the great principles over and over again."

"Very good."

Li Ping'an put his hands behind his head, staring at the blue sky and white clouds, and said quietly:

"No matter what, this is always Better than those who don't care about the lives of the common people and don't do their job."

"Hmm? Who are you referring to?"

"The merchant nobles in Chaoge City," Li Ping'an said casually, "When you are free, go to Chaoge City to broaden your horizons."

"Me? When the eldest brother misses home, I will be his hostage for a while, if the king allows it."

Ji Fa sighed:

"In the past few years, the letters sent back by the eldest brother actually said some bad things about you.

"Fourth brother, I know you are smart and highly valued by the king. I also know that you took the initiative to come back to protect our Xibohou Mansion, fearing that the disaster of our grandfather would repeat itself.

"But sometimes, we brothers are brothers after all. We do everything together. As the saying goes, brothers are connected by heart and can break metal with their strength..."

"What do you want to say, second brother?"

"This," Ji Fa scratched his head and smiled, "I want to say that if you hear others say bad things about your elder brother, don't blame him. He is trapped in Chaoge City. If he offends you, there will definitely be problems."

Li Ping'an's forehead was covered with black lines: "Why am I an outsider? Second brother, do you treat me like a scourge?"

"Before you came back, my father just came to tell us brothers."

Ji Fa spread his hands:

"He said that you once accompanied the king to study and was the person the king trusted the most. The king once said that you would be ranked among the three ministers.

"He also said that if you have any dissatisfaction at home later, everyone may be convicted. "

Li Ping'an's expression gradually became solemn.

It seemed that he, Ji Dan, had done too many things in Chaoge City, so that...

he was alienated and suspected by his father Ji Chang.

In fact, there was nothing strange about this.

The relationship between father and son these days was relatively simple and complicated. Ji Chang had suffered "mental trauma" and would be cautious about anything related to Chaoge City.

Or he could just move out of Xibohou Mansion in the future, find a house in Xiqi City, walk around, and comprehend the great way of all living beings. This is the right thing to do.

Li Ping'an was about to say something when he suddenly looked up at the horizon.

There was a white cloud flying slowly here.

Ji Fa let out a cry, stood up with shining eyes, and almost fell off the millet pile. He pointed to the sky and exclaimed: "There are clouds! Father! The clouds are falling! "

Ji Chang looked up upon hearing this;

All the figures in the fields looked up.

A white cloud in the shape of a Ganoderma lucidum slowly descended towards this place, and on the white cloud stood a Taoist with a youthful face and white hair, holding a whisk in his hand. He was the immortal of the Chan Sect, Chi Jingzi.

Because Li Pingan had directly hidden himself, Chi Jingzi did not initially notice Ji Dan's abnormality.

This was also Li Pingan's fault. In order to realize the great way of all living beings, he really turned this incarnation into a mortal at this moment, and deliberately erased Ji Dan's origin in the Heavenly Dao.

If it were not for his profound understanding of the Heavenly Dao, he would not be able to see through his disguise.

Chi Jingzi fell directly towards Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was first happy, and then startled. He quickly stepped back a few steps and lowered his head to continue cutting corn.

"Don't be idle! Harvest the crops before the rain!"

Li Pingan: If you don't do anything, the efficiency may be improved a lot.

The ministers didn't understand why, and many people had already knelt down and kowtowed to the gods in the fields.

Chi Jingzi smiled and nodded, waved the whisk in his hand, and a wisp of fresh air turned into a breeze, blowing through the fields.

All mortals who felt this breeze were relaxed and at peace, and their hidden illnesses completely disappeared.

The figures kneeling down and kowtowing suddenly became more.

Chi Jingzi was very satisfied with this show of saintliness in front of people. He stroked his beard with a smile and fell behind Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was busy cutting crops.

Chi Jingzi said slowly: "Hou Xibo?"

Ji Chang did not answer.

Chi Jingzi frowned slightly, and he could see that this Hou Xibo was deliberately ignoring him.

Chi Jingzi said again: "Where is Ji Chang?"

The ministers of Xiqi City on the side knelt there anxiously.

Chi Jingzi was a little embarrassed, and he flicked the whisk in his hand lightly, and Ji Chang was surrounded by a ray of golden light and floated up from the ground.

The mortals around had never seen such a scene before, and they kowtowed and begged the gods to forgive their masters.

Ji Chang said angrily: "You, you put me down!"

"You mortal princes are really weird!"

Chi Jingzi flicked the whisk again and frowned:

"I passed by here and saw that you have extraordinary luck, so I wanted to come down to make friends with you. I never thought that you would be so ignorant! Do you think that I am a swindler immortal?"

Ji Chang landed on the ground, stepped back two steps, and was supported by Ji Fa who rushed over.

Ji Chang sighed heavily: "You are a god, why are you looking for me?"

"I said, I passed by here and wanted to make friends with you. I saw that you have extraordinary luck..."

"What luck! Nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!"

Ji Chang shouted anxiously.

He looked around and whispered, "If you really want to bless me, please come to my house later. Don't stay here. There may be disaster!"

Chi Jingzi was puzzled.

Jifa, who was standing by, supported Ji Chang's arm and looked at the millet pile beside him for help.

Jifa was about to call his smartest brother to come over, but he found that Ji Dan had disappeared and seemed to have hidden behind the millet pile.

Chi Jingzi pondered for a few times. He really couldn't understand Ji Chang's reaction, so he decided to leave for the time being and come back in the evening.

Chi Jingzi was about to leave on the cloud when he heard a clear and loud laugh from the cloud.

"Hahahahaha!"

Chi Jingzi frowned slightly, looked up, and curled his lips slightly.

Two figures slowly descended from the clouds. The middle-aged Taoist in the lead had a neutral face and a slightly sharp aura. He was Qin Wan, one of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island. The Golden Light Holy Mother on the side was dressed in golden clothes, and was graceful and charming.

Chi Jingzi had expected that as long as he showed up, the immortals of Jiejiao would probably show up.

The current action steps of the two sects were almost the same. They were all wandering around Nanzhou, looking for which lord had strong luck, and then they would establish a good relationship with this lord.

And Xibo Hou Jichang was the person they paid special attention to.

What Chi Jingzi was a little dissatisfied with was...

He was the second saint disciple of the Twelve Golden Immortals. The ones who showed up on the Jiejiao side should be at least one or two of the eight disciples!

Now it was the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island who could only rank in the upper middle of Jiejiao!

How could Chi Jingzi not be angry about this?

Chi Jingzi's face turned black, and he said directly: "You two Taoist friends, are you here to provoke me?"

"Hey," Qin Wan bowed his hands, and said with a smile, reciting the instructions of his senior brother Duobao, "How dare we provoke you? We just happened to pass by here, and happened to use the method of observing the qi to see that this Xibo Hou has a long luck and is a promising talent, so I came down to make some acquaintance with this Xibo Hou."

Ji Chang couldn't help but frowned.

What is going on?

Two groups of gods are looking for him?

Could it be that the divination and sacrificial rituals he deduced in the cellar really communicated with the gods successfully? Could it be that he...he can really sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth on behalf of the King of Shang...

Ji Chang suddenly dispelled this thought that kept coming up.

Ji Chang stood aside with cold eyes, frowning at these people, and his father's head and his father's body that was disassembled into hundreds of pieces appeared in front of him...

Ji Chang suddenly wanted to vomit.

He forced himself to hold back at this moment, just standing there, looking at the three gods coldly.

If the gods could really hear his prayers, why didn't they come quietly...

Chi Jingzi glanced at Ji Chang, and said to Qin Wan and Jin Guang Shengmu with a dark face:

"Don't you think this is a bit ridiculous, fellow Taoists? I came here first, even if you want to get to know Xibo Hou, you should wait until I leave. Why, fellow Taoists can't wait to compete with me?"

"Hey!"

Qin Wan smiled:

"We should fully respond to the call of the Taoist Master, do things according to the rules, avoid private fights, and pay attention to friendship."

Jin Guang Shengmu also said: "That's right, what's wrong with everyone getting to know Xibo Hou? Xibo Hou, we are the Qi Refiners of Jin'ao Island, traveling here, and we have prepared a small gift here, please accept it!"

Jin Guang took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and the brocade box was filled with a faint golden light.

Ji Chang pondered for a few seconds, not knowing whether he should accept it.

Chi Jingzi flicked his whisk and took out a jade pot from his sleeve, which contained several pills for curing diseases and eliminating disasters.

He also said: "Hou Xibo must think clearly. He can only accept gifts from one of our two families. This is very important."

Ji Chang was a little confused.

He looked at Chi Jingjing, then at Golden Light Holy Mother and Qin Wan. Both sides were coming on clouds, and there was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

Ji Chang suddenly realized...are these two gods fighting openly and secretly?

He sighed secretly.

I didn't expect that the world of gods is so complicated.

Ji Chang said calmly: "Thank you all for your kindness. I'm afraid I can't accept such a gift."

"Oh?" Chi Jingjing asked, "Does Marquis Xibo have any unspeakable secrets?"

Qin Wan also said: "It's not a valuable thing. It's just a gesture. I don't want to hide it from Xi Bohou. But for all princes with some influence, we will send some gifts later to build a good relationship."

Ji Chang was extremely confused, but his expression was still very calm.

He bowed and raised his hands in the direction of Chaoge City, and said seriously:

"All the gods have learned that this place is the land of Shang, and this king is the King of Shang. According to current laws and ancient rules, only the king can communicate with the gods.

"I am just a little Xibohou. I am located in the northwest and fighting against Qiang thieves. How dare I do such a transgressive act?

"The gods have gifts for the people. This fact really makes me deeply touched, but... the rules are the rules, and etiquette must never be abolished."

Red sperm:......

Qin Wan:...

"You Xibohou!" Our Lady of Golden Light frowned and scolded, "We came to give you gifts with good intentions, why did you teach us a lesson?"

"Hey! Little sister!"

Qin Wan stopped the Golden Lady with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Chi Jing's face showed a sudden look on his face, he counted with his fingers, then shook his head and chuckled, saying slowly:

"I see, Xibohou attaches great importance to etiquette and rules, which is in perfect harmony with my teachings!

"I know all about Xibohou's difficulties here, but Xibohou still misunderstood that your so-called gods are there."

Red sperm pointed to the sky with a fly whisk and said slowly:

"You can't see it with your naked eyes. There used to be a divine court there, and there were many gods in it, including the kings of Shang and Xia, and many other gods.

“But this is old news.

"In the sky now, that divine court has long since disappeared. What we honor together is the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court and the Three Pure Ones of the Taoist Sect. The Heavenly Emperor is also called God. After long years of hard training and countless reincarnations, he finally obtained the Taoist fruit. He is upright and kind-hearted and is the leader of all immortals. example."

Li Ping'an:...

Slander, this is absolutely slander!

How has he experienced such a long time? It has gone through countless reincarnations!

Good guy, Chi Jingjie, this seemingly loyal uncle, can actually be flattering.

Li Ping'an, who was hiding behind the pile of grains, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Then I heard Chi Jing said:

"Pindao is not a god. In this world, no matter the wind, rain, thunder, drought or flood, Pindao is just a monk from outside, practicing with his teacher Yuanshi Tianzun in Yuxu Palace.

"The poor Taoist brother's name is Guangchengzi. If Xibohou has read classical books, he should have heard of this name."

"Yes, he is the Yellow Emperor's teacher!"

Ji Chang shouted excitedly.

Chi Jingzheng nodded slowly: "Yes, yes, Xibohou, don't worry, we will also go to Chaoge City to visit King Shang later."

After hearing this, Ji Chang finally nodded slowly.

Chi Jingzhi took advantage of the situation and said: "Xi Bohou, please accept the gift."

Ji Chang was about to reach out to pick it up.

Qin Wan on the side said: "Hey! Why doesn't Xibohou listen to Pindao's origins before making a decision?"

Ji Chang: "This..."

Chi Jing scolded: "Fellow Taoist, this is too much! Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Why don't you give gifts later?"

"That won't work," Qin Wan said with a smile, "My family has always been very particular about the distinction between left and right. It would be better for Xibohou to just take gifts from one family! Besides, my Taoist friend has said so much, but I don't want to say a few words. I really feel sorry for him. I’m not willing to do that.”

A bit of light flashed in the red sperm's eyes.

"Does fellow Taoist want to embarrass Pindao?"

"Pindao is no match for fellow Taoist," Qin Wan said with a smile, "But Pindao also has a formation. If fellow Taoist can give you some advice, Pindao will also be happy to accompany you!"

"good!"

The tone of the red sperm is too high:

"Xi Bohou will be here later. Pindao will come back as soon as he goes!"

Qin Wan was eager to give it a try: "Little sister, watch the weather here. Don't let it rain here. Brother, go and learn the clever tricks from fellow Taoist Chi Jingjing!"

"You two..."

A lazy voice suddenly came from behind a pile of grains:

"People from outside the country are just like people from outside the country. How can they be so noisy here?"

The figure of the Holy Mother of Golden Light flashed and appeared directly behind the pile of grains, glaring and cursing:

"I want to see who has such a loud tone... uh..."
