Chapter 265 Divination
If Bai Jingyuan encountered such a thing, he would at most mutter, "Is it possible that he is going backward again? Why are you afraid of anything?", and then he would leave it behind and not think about it anymore. As a native native, the Jin King would not do this.
He would go to search for ghosts and gods to understand - since he ascended the throne, he has been diligent in self-discipline and self-cultivation, not extravagant or cruel, and everything should go well, so why did he encounter such a thing?
He would not think that under the threat of the Jin-Zhao alliance, it was normal for Zheng State to seek an alliance with Chu State with in-laws. He would only think that the gods in charge of the lucky ones did not favor him, and things would always develop in the direction he did not expect.
So he wants to come from the province through God's prompts, so as to find out his shortcomings and then win.
This practice of always finding problems in one’s own problems is sometimes useful, but most of the time it sounds very unrestrained, but it exists and is regarded as a guide by the nobles here!
People's universal values believe that if a person has outstanding character, everything will go smoothly. If he gets in trouble one day, he will definitely fail to do it well.
The confidant had already retreated. King Jin pondered for a moment, hurried out with his servant, rode his horse around and came to the back garden, and stopped outside a deep bamboo forest in the corner.
"You wait here, and I will go away and come."
The King of Jin turned over and dismounted, and the fat on his belly trembled. He lowered his voice to explain to the servants. The servants did not speak, but only saluted silently to show their understanding.
This place lives with witches worshipped by Feng’s family for generations. It has been passed down for 137 generations. Today, the great witches and witches do not like to make noises, and their servants know the rules.
The King of Jin then frowned and entered the bamboo forest.
It was broad daylight, but the bamboo forest was as dark as night. Fortunately, the forest was covered with grayish white stones, so you just need to walk along this path.
I don’t know how long it took, but King Jin climbed up a steep slope and saw that the vision ahead suddenly opened up. A wooden house that looked very old was built on the wide platform.
"Dingling~"
As soon as he walked out of the bamboo forest, he heard a low bell sound from the wooden house. When he approached, he saw two boys with red lips and white teeth waiting by the gate of the yard. When he saw him coming, he didn't respect him and took him in.
Obviously, the great witch, named Kyrgyzs, did not respect the king. As a medium connecting secular imperial power and gods, he only respected gods.
King Jin was unhappy and still didn't say anything, so he followed him.
Wu Qian, whose skin was as dry as a tree bark, closed his eyes slightly, and was sitting behind the gray-black linen curtain to rest. When he saw him coming, he bowed slightly and said that he was bowing.
The King of Jin was already fifty years old. He was no longer as in awe of the witch as he was when he was young. He could hear the movements and knew that he was disrespectful to him. He felt more and more displeased, but he still suppressed his temper and bowed.
In fact, things were urgent, and he urgently needed the will of God.
After the two of them were ceremonious, King Jin expressed his confusion.
The witches in the Jin Kingdom have been passed down for a long time, and only the great witches of all generations know that all witches, including the great witches, have never communicated with real gods.
There are no gods in this world at all.
Those who no longer call themselves witches are now focused on medicine and have begun to call themselves doctors. People have accepted them. The traditional folk witches, but rely on prayers and pretending to be gods and ghosts to live. Even if the royal sacrifices still require the great witches to preside over them, they no longer have awe of the witches as before.
The reason why Wu Qian's branch still enjoys a high status is because they have long since changed their careers secretly and began to use the king's trust, wear the skin of the witch, do the affairs of the wise, and make suggestions for state affairs.
Wu Qian knew exactly how to make the king believe it. After hearing him, he said lightly after a long time, "This matter involves the national destiny, which is not something that can be achieved by ordinary matters. The king still needs to be more pious. After three days of fasting, we will cast spells and enlighten the gods!"
There is no room for negotiation in the words.
It’s just because Wu Qian knows that he won’t cherish anything that is too easy to get.
The king does not pay attention to it, no matter how wonderful his idea is, there will be no good results.
With the anger that was before, King Jin immediately frowned when he heard this, and said unceremoniously: "Wu Dangji is in an urgent situation, and I need to know whether the alliance between Zheng and Chu can be successful!"
The distance is too far, and when the news comes back, the daylily is cold. He can only act based on his predictions, act one day earlier and take effect one day earlier. If he delays for three days and misses the opportunity, he will regret it to death.
Wu Qian still looked calm.
It took only a few days for the Yan people to destroy Jingshan. This is just an example. Such a thing has never happened in the history of the Daji period. Nowadays, the competition between countries for Jingshan is still in a planned state. What can happen in just three days?
"The king should know that the way of divination is extremely difficult and cannot tolerate any negligence. During these three days, the king needs to fast, but I have to prepare the hundred-year-old tortoise shell and all the divination items."
Anyway, it is impossible to let him do things immediately.
"Don't you switch to yarrow now?"
It was indeed a waste of time to prepare the tortoise shell. King Jin didn't understand those professional things. He only heard someone say it once and asked Wu Qian.
Wu Qian immediately seemed to be offended, and stopped talking with a stern face. No matter what he said, he would ignore him.
The King of Jin's face turned blue and white. In the end, he didn't dare to lift the curtain, threw down the words "I'll come again in three days", and left in a hurry.
In the curtain, Wu Qian looked like a doctor who heard a patient say "I have experienced this disease for a thousand years", with a very ugly face.
It took him a long time to take out a box, take out the tortoise shells inside, smash them one by one, put them in the medicine box, and call the Tonger and instruct, "I have been sweating all night late recently. Here are a few sets of medicines to nourish yin and replenish yang. Send it to her! The decoction method is still the same."
When Tonger had delivered the medicine, he called another Tonger: "Go and give me instructions, saying that the hundred-year-old tortoise shell is used up and needs to be hunted again."
The boy saw from the beginning and knew that the great witch did this to maintain the witch's status, so he immediately went down to do what he said.
Hunt the fresh tortoise shell and it will be used after it is processed. It will probably take two months later. The king will only make a vain trip after three days.
The great witch was so angry that Tonger also understood that they were the most orthodox witches, and he would be unhappy to talk about the heretics who used yarrow in front of the great witch.
The King of Jin didn't know that he had already accidentally evil the great witch. When he left the bamboo forest, he felt unwilling to accept it. With a thought, he took the people out of the city directly.
But I saw where he went was the famous Pingshan outside the city.
There are witches in Pingshan.
A witch that is different from the great witch.
Recently, he became famous in the city and is said to be very good at fortune-telling.
