The Golden Basin Handwashing Conference ended, as it began.

After inspection, Shang Zhixin seemed to be just a sudden attack. Everyone didn't know why he was so afraid of the gentleman Jianjiang leader. Luo Yuantong said lightly that he must have been drinking too much and his emotions were out of control. He sent his disciples from the mansion to set off and escort him back to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion in a car.

The martial arts people who came from afar did not leave immediately after the conference, because as the host, the Luo family, as usual, had to invest in entertaining guests from all over the world. They included food and accommodation two days ago, and on the third day, there would be a big banquet for the heroes. Until they had to drink and have fun, the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference was considered to be completed.

Some people may think this is a sucker, but you should know that after washing your hands in Jinban, this meal is no longer considered Luo Yuantong's face, but a favor belonging to Luo Shuang'er himself.

Zhou Long was naturally overjoyed about such beautiful things, and he could bring his disciples from the Vajra Sect to eat and drink for nothing, but people like Jiang Wen who had a place to stay were basically left first, but they promised to attend the cocktail party three days later.

It can be said that in addition to Tiedan Village, the other major forces are also doing the same.

Fan Xinghan hurriedly left without waiting for the Luo family to stay, and his expression was already full of worries and could be seen without deliberate discerning. The Songyang Sect was worriedly escorting the fainting Shang Zhixin away, and the head Bai Zhen led the market through the official uniform. The Qingqi Gang did not say anything, and left with the Honghua Society. For a time, the severe situation in the Luo Mansion due to a marriage proposal was relieved a lot.

Yuan Ziyi ran to Luo Shuang'er to have a leisurely life, and admired the pair of Han Wang Qingdao in her hand enviously, and then said that Jiang Wen and the others would go back first, and that he would chat with Shuang'er for a while and would not go back to have supper.

"Then remember to go back by yourself, we'll leave first."

Jiang Wen was not polite, and turned around and was about to leave. He suddenly thought of the musician team he brought with him, and was still waiting behind him to settle the wages.

At this time, most of the people in the mansion dispersed, but to Jiang Wen’s surprise, there were several musicians coming from the opera troupes. They obviously settled the rewards in full, but they hesitated and refused to leave. They kept hinting whether Jiang Wen would have similar chores in the future, and they could keep serving the Wuyi faction at any time.

"What do you mean by the masters? You might as well make it clearer."

Jiang Wen was a little confused. Could it be that they had the desire to debut in the world after this battle, and planned to ask for the title of "A heartbreaking, where can I find a soulmate in the world"?

Faced with doubts, the musicians in the opera troupe honestly told their thoughts.

The golden reviews and colored leather balls are all bachelors who are half a person in the world, and the musicians are all single bachelors.

The "Eight Immortals" opera troupe they were in was not well-known in Guangzhou City, and there was no famous gangster support. They had long been shaky and split. Now they have fallen to perform the Red Boat Magical Arts in Zhilan Lake. It is said that several small pillars have been optimistic about their way out and are planning to sneak into wealthy families to be their little husbands at any time.

"This seems to be feasible, but you are too many. To be honest, our Wuyi Sect can't catch up with you. In the future, Jiang will only be responsible for the rewards for going out. Someone will give you daily wages. Let's go back with us."

Several musicians immediately thanked him very much, and happily packed up their instruments and followed Jiang Wen. No one would care. Because of his words, a group of musicians ran away out of thin air in Guangzhou. The headmaster was at a loss.

Jiang Wen also inquired on the way and found that the local opera troupe belonged to the opera path of martial arts and literary works. The actors are skilled in martial arts and martial arts, and they use humans as operas. The absurd stories that cannot be investigated. The words are not literary and the matter is particularly unreasonable. The most popular thing about the "Eight Immortals Class" was originally the martial arts drama "Lei Kill" learned by the old class master from the Leizhou Nuo Dance. It tells the strange thing that a rogue who does evil and is killed by Lei Shu. Unfortunately, with the accidental death of the old class master, no one can interpret it anymore.

On the way back, Hong Wending passed the closed primary school school. He was vaguely seeing an old figure walking alone in the distance with heavy rain. But when he looked back, his lonely figure was broken away by the raindrops, as if what he had just had just an illusion.

"Senior Brother Wending, what are you looking at?"

Fu Ningdie has been keeping an overwhelming look since leaving Luo Mansion. At this time, he stopped and asked Hong Wending.

Hong Wending always felt that the white-haired tutor was as full of worries as his father Hong Xiguan before, and he was almost unable to walk on his back.

"Oh, nothing."

Hong Wending shook his head and followed the steps of others.

After trekking through the Jishui streets, everyone finally came to Lei Laohu's house on Xiguan Street. They ran into Lei Laohu in a rich costume, standing at the door looking forward to it. When they saw Jiang Wen and the others appear, they were overjoyed and shouting.

"Master Jiang, Master Jiang! You are finally back!"

"What happened?"

Jiang Wen calmly closed the oil paper umbrella, threw away the remaining water marks on it, and first introduced to the musicians who followed him, "In the future, this Mr. Lei will pay for your wages. Remember!"

The musicians hurriedly bowed and said in unison: "Have you met Mr. Lei!"

"Since Principal Jiang has spoken, you will be from my Lei family in the future, and the wages will be paid according to the chef."

Lei Laohu patted his chest indifferently and said to Jiang Wen a little flatteringly: "Anyway, Principal Jiang's affairs are my affairs of Mr. Lei, Principal Jiang's friends are my friends of Mr. Lei, Principal Jiang's face is my face of Mr. Lei, and Principal Jiang's money is my money of Mr. Lei..."

Speaking of this, he felt something was wrong, so he almost said the truth and changed his words hurriedly and vaguely, "It's right to look for me anyway...Master Jiang, fortunately, you came back and received something from the mansion today. I don't dare to open it until now. Just looking at the handwriting on it, it seems that I want to hand it over to you..."

Several people crossed the book room and passed Qingyun Lane directly to the main hall. They immediately saw an object wrapped in oil paper on the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the hall, with hemp ropes repeatedly wrapped around it, and a large "jiang" character was printed with thick ink. Moreover, due to the recent immersion of humid climate, traces of insects and mycelium seeped out from the ink traces, which made it look even more stubborn and ferocious.

"It's this thing. It should have come with the Lei family's convoy transporting silk two days ago. It was stuffed into the pile of goods by someone without knowing it. It was not until the butler took stock of the goods this morning that he found out."

Lei Laohu's expression was a little overly nervous, as if the one in front of him was not a paper bag, but a beast that chose people to eat. Once opened, it would be doomed.

Jiang Wen patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Mr. Lei, are you too nervous? I see that the moisture-proof technology is rigorous and the materials are not cheap. It may be that the medicinal materials booked by a medicine shop were installed in the wrong car. The 'Jiang' written on it is probably the abbreviation of the names of medicinal materials such as Jiangzhu and Jiang Gardenia."

However, Jiang Wen's comfort did not work. Lei Laohu's mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered in Jiang Wen's ear.

"Master Jiang, you don't know... In fact, there was a layer of paper on the outermost layer of this paper bag, which read 'Ma Jiashan's Kissai'. Fortunately, it was not seen by outsiders and had been torn to pieces by the butler..."

Jiang Wen frowned immediately, seeing that this thing was really prepared.

Ma Jiashan, that is Lei Laohu's original name in Xiamei Town, and it also represents the right and wrong that he had made with the Qing court. The person who sent the goods took the initiative to mention this matter, obviously because of the intention of coercion and coercion, warning Lei Laohu that he must hand over this thing, otherwise I would be able to send it to the government door if you colluded with Nan Shaolin.

"Pretending to be suspicious of soldiers, he can attack his heart by saying a few words. This man is quite capable."

Jiang Wen sneered, reached out and pulled away the layers of oiled paper, revealing what was hidden deep in it.

The three apprentices immediately surrounded him curiously, but Xiao Shitou saw that it was not food inside, so he took the lead and took awkwardly.

There was no medicinal material inside, but a hand-written book hidden, with complete paper and fresh ink marks. Its only seems to be intact, but most of the book behind it was pulled away with brute force, with only some scattered debris hanging.

"The Story of the Queering Turf"?"

Jiang Wen slowly opened the book and read out the title of the book.

After Hong Wending studied in a private school for a few days, he was able to recognize commonly used written words, but what he was even more curious about was the origin of this book.

"Master, who sent this? Is this person an enemy or a friend?"

After Jiang Wen saw the remaining page, he put the rest of the book back on the table and sat down on the Grand Master's chair next to the Eight Immortals table, with a look of thought in his eyebrows.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I seem to be an enemy or a friend, neither an enemy nor a friend..."

Jiang Wen said slowly, "The story of our arrival in Guangzhou is not obvious, and it is not until today that it is widely publicized. The only ones who can deliver books to Guangzhou so long in advance should be the only ones in the Honglian Virgin."

Fu Ningdie poked his head curiously: "Then why do you say that you are not an enemy or a friend?"

"This is the problem."

Jiang Wen spread out the broken book with only the previous pages and said, "The only few hundred words left in this book are clearly the broken book "Fengtu Ji" written by Zhou Chu of the Jin Dynasty. It tells and records the local customs and the origin of the festival, and looks strange. Why did the Holy Mother Red Lotus send it over here inexplicably?"

The customs mentioned in "Tengtu Ji" actually refer to the customs of Yixing. Yixing was called Jingyi in ancient times, and it belonged to Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the 26th year of King Zheng of Qin, Jingyi was changed to Yangxian County. Therefore, the beginning of the remnant book is "There is Taihu Lake in the east, Baoshan in the middle, and caves at the bottom of the mountain. It sneaks into the ground and has all kinds of clouds, which is called Dongting Earth Vein."

The author of this book is Zhou Chu, the protagonist of "Zhou Chu eliminates the three evils". From the second year of Tai'an to the fourth year of Yongjia, the imperial court established Yixing County in order to commend Zhou Qi (Zhou Chu's eldest son) for the three-xing Yi army to quell the rebellion. Therefore, it can be said that Zhou Chu was not only a local celebrity in Yixing, but also a part of the humanistic origin.

The remaining "Fengtu Ji" has few words, and the rest of the articles are about the origin of customs such as July 7th, September 9th, and the New Year. There is also a record about the local "Everything customs, drinking and feasting is like a drum and plate. Take the Taisu round disk and wide ruler sixth, hold it with your belly, and use your left hand to play it with your five fingers to make it a festival, and the dancer dances in response to the festival", which is also confusing.

"Change a different idea, is it the answer to the riddle?"

Jiang Wen muttered to himself, and then focused his eyes on the cover of the book, looking at the word "Kuigu" on it and fell into thought.

Judging from the content, the content of this book is no different from the "Tengtu Ji" circulating on the market. However, this alias is unheard of, so I am afraid there is any statement in it.

The word "Kuigu" comes from the nine lines on the Kuigu hexagram in the "Book of Changes". The hexagram says: "Kuigu, when he sees a pig carrying a tram, carries a ghost, first opens an arc, then talks about arc, bandits get married, and when they encounter rain, it will be auspicious."

The two sentences "When I see a pig carrying a platter, I carry a cart of ghosts" are interpreted by many Yi scholars as someone who sees a pig covered in mud on his back, pulling the car with difficulty. When he walks over, he sees the car full of ghosts. This interpretation is scary enough and bizarre enough to be almost absurd and illusory.

Even the master of Yixue Kong Yingda said in "The Notes of Zhou Yi": "'Carrying a car of ghosts, first open the arc, then talk about the arc," is that the ghosts are full of cars, which is very strange." Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty said: "Carrying a car of ghosts is a matter of difference." What is a matter of "difference"? In short, even if you can't explain it clearly, it's very bizarre.

This hexagram is difficult to explain later, and later, "carrying ghosts" turned into an idiom, which, as the name suggests, is very absurd and bizarre.

But Jiang Wen knew that later, relying on historians' efforts in this regard, he gave an explanation different from the past, boldly interpreting the word "ghost" as a ghost square or ghost retreat, which opened up a new situation.

After all, the writing of a book is inseparable from the influence of the times and environment in which it is located. Therefore, some people believe that ghosts should refer to ghosts, the ethnic minority ethnic group in northern China, that is, the later Huns.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Central Plains was invaded by the Guifang people, so they were hostile to the Guifang people, so they were called enemies. And marriage is a way to resolve ethnic conflicts, and this tradition is also very ancient.

Therefore, this hexagram should be understood as: Kuiguai is suspicious. He first saw a pig appear on the road, and then saw a car full of ghosts. So he set up a bow and arrow, and then put down the bow and arrow. It turned out that these people were not thieves, but a team of kinship. When walking forward, it would be auspicious when it rained.

According to this explanation, I thought I was here to fight, but in the end I found out that I was here to propose marriage. It seemed to vaguely refer to Luo Shuang'er's proposal for marriage, and suggested that she should use marriage ties to resolve the crisis and turn enemies into friends?

Another explanation of Gui Su is from the ancient cognition of "more than three generations, everyone knows astronomy", the words of the farmer in July, and the words of the three stars in the celestial ladies. At that time, people were accustomed to integrating various astrological phenomena of the climate into literary poetry.

Combined with the "Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Heaven": "Ghosts are in the throne, ghosts are in the temple; those who are in the white are the essence." Astronomy explains: "Those who are in the ghosts are as white as pink and twill are called corpses. One is called corpses, which are like clouds but not clouds, and like stars but not stars, they only see qi." This is a sign that it is about to rain.

The explanation is that there is wet mud on the back of the pig nearby. The person who is about to get married looks up at the celestial phenomena and sees the southern ghosts gathering corpse energy (because the ghosts are four stars, their shapes are like carriages, so they take this image). It seems that it is about to rain. I sent someone to ask the man who drove the ox cart, saying that he was just passing by and not coming to make trouble. A rain resolved a misunderstanding, the marriage continued, and he also made a friend from afar, and good things happened.

This explanation is also reasonable, just in line with the situation where Kui Gua is the same as the upper and lower li Dui, and its ambition is different, and then it deviates from deviation to reverse, and finally reaches the situation in "Tu Ci" that "the man and woman are the same as the ambition is consistent."

But this explanation is also a bit miraculous. How could the Holy Mother of Red Lotus be thousands of miles away? It can be counted as Jiang Wen would encounter heavy rain during this trip...

"...Is she practicing martial arts or fortune-telling?"

The two interpretations with different directions are related to the two things in front of you.

The magic of the Book of Changes is here. After analyzing in Jiang Wen’s mind, he suddenly recovered the situation of his trip from the simple word “Kui Gu”. It was as tight as it was tailor-made. Even the continuous heavy rain in Guangzhou was calculated and became a good omen...

"No, I can't be confused by these tricks of pretending to be a god. No wonder the smarter a person is, the less he can't break free from superstition."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Jiang Wen shook his head and decided to dispel his cognition first so that he can think truly logically.

Of course, what he said about disenchantment is not aimed at the Book of Changes. The all-inclusive content of the Book of Changes is itself very philosophical and inspiring, and does not violate the logic of thinking. It is reasonable to distinguish whether it is an enemy or a friend when he goes out. What he wants to re-examine is just referring to the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus.

The other party would never have the ability to predict the future thousands of miles away. Otherwise, even if the Ding family's son had not yet fallen in love with him, he would quickly stage a scene where two people died for him. There was no need for her to try every means to contact him, and she would pretend to be unfathomable in front of her.

If you start from the perspective of reason, you will analyze it from the perspective of reason. The things that the Virgin Red Lotus sent out must be complete and accurate information, and you will clearly give your life to your own hands, but you will deliberately reduce the damage and destroy it in the middle, which turned into a puzzle and came to your own hands.

The Mingzun Sect has been weak for a long time, and its control over the branches in various places has become weak. This can be seen from the fact that the guardians in various places may not be in Cao's camp like Huang Ji, and they can do nothing if they act secretly or misleadingly.

But the question is, who is interfering with it?

Jiang Wen slowly waved his sword with his hand, and then a tall figure with a messy hair and chains appeared in front of him. With his smiling face, all the states and counties in the world turned into a chessboard where he could fight and fight. However, he himself hid in the deep valley surrounded by clouds and smoke. He saw his head but didn't see his tail, and waved his hand and sprinkled them all, which were thousands of puzzles that fell in front of his opponents one by one.

"When I think about it this way, it's really like Zhao Wuji's paintings and sprinkling beans into soldiers. Ordinary people were scared and dared not move, and he might have hidden millions of soldiers from the Qingyang Sect in some corner, waiting for the people who have solved the mystery to go and learn about it."
