Chapter 395: Encounter with Prince Zhen
Chapter 395: Encounter with Prince Zhen
At this time, in the Wen family compound, Jin Chenzi was still performing rituals.
Except for Wen Chuyu, almost everyone in the Wen family was in the yard.
When Ji Jiuying and Fatty Zhen appeared at the door, everyone's attention was attracted, and Ji Jiuying took off the mask on her face.
When everyone saw Ji Jiuying, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.
"Xiaojiu, Fatty Zhen!"
Wen Longting's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up and came to the two of them, "Why are you here?"
"Xiaojiu, Prince Zhen, please come in and sit down."
Wen Longxiu came to the door and said with a smile.
Ji Jiuying nodded and came to a pavilion in the yard. Wen Chao, Wen Yan and Madam Wen hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to greet them and saluted Ji Jiuying and Prince Zhen.
"Greetings to Princess Anping and Prince Zhen."
Ji Jiuying and Prince Zhen waved their hands indifferently, "Old Man Wen, Master Wen, Madam Wen, you are too polite. You don't have to be polite in the future. I don't like this."
"That's right. I've told them many times, but they didn't listen." Prince Zhen said helplessly.
"Princess and Prince, you are joking. Etiquette cannot be abolished." Wen Chao said with a smile, but his eyes kept looking at Ji Jiuying. It was really unexpected that he had been in seclusion for a few months, and the little girl with mediocre strength at the beginning had now become a celebrity in Cangming Continent, and her status in Cangyue Kingdom had soared. I'm afraid even the emperor would have to be polite to her when he sees her. This treatment is almost catching up with that of the national teacher.
"Come, girl, please take a seat, Prince." Madam Wen pointed to the chair next to her and said with a smile.
Ji Jiuying nodded, but her eyes fell on the sleeping baby in the cradle behind her. The pink little face was not wrinkled at all like a newborn. Noticing her gaze, Zhao Feiyan quickly pushed the cradle over, "Princess, this is the child you helped me deliver. His name is Wen Chun."
"Wen Chun, he looks so well behaved."
Ji Jiuying smiled.
"Xiaojiu, my little brother is not well-behaved at all. I don't know how many times my clothes have been wet by him." Wen Longting said resentfully.
"Ting'er, your brother is much better than you were when you were a child!" Wen Chao said.
Wen Longting's face darkened instantly, "Grandpa, how many times have you said this..."
This caused a group of people around to laugh.
"Girl, how come you have time to come to the Wen Mansion today?" Wen Yan asked.
Ji Jiuying glanced at Jin Chenzi who was performing a ritual and said, "I also want to know if it is true that Master Kongchen can predict the future, so I came to bother Master Wen."
"You are joking, my lady. It is an honor for my family that you are here as a guest."
Ji Jiuying curled her lips. Now the Wen family was being polite to her. "Master Wen, Chu Yu, A Xiu, and Xiao Ting are friends. It is my honor to make such good friends."
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Ji Jiuying asked again: "Master Wen, why does Chu Yu suddenly want to go to the wild land?"
Wen Yan and the others frowned and were silent for a while before speaking: "After returning from the academy incident, he was eager to improve his strength and tried almost every possible way. We also asked him the reason, but he kept everything to himself and didn't want to say more."
"After the rumors about the Savage Land appeared, he left a letter and left."
Wen Yan spoke with a lot of helplessness. Zhao Feiyan sighed softly, "Chu Yu has been like this since he was a child. He doesn't want to talk about things, no matter how we ask him, he won't say a word. No one can change what has been decided."
"I have been to this wild land thirty years ago. There are indeed countless opportunities in it, but the dangers are innumerable. Many people are unwilling to take the risk. I remember that time thirty years ago, more than a hundred people entered the wild land, and only four of them, including me, were able to come out."
Wen Chao said that even though more than thirty years had passed, his body still trembled uncontrollably when he recalled the incident. The horrific scenes were still clearly imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.
Ji Jiuying frowned upon hearing this. In fact, she came here this time to get a comprehensive understanding of the Wild Land. "Old Wen, how long does it usually take for the Wild Land to be opened? Is the location also random?"
"It's hard to say when this wild land will be opened. It could be as little as three years or as much as six years. But there is a feature before the wild land opens. The moon will slowly turn red. When the moon turns completely red, it is the time when the wild land appears. According to the frequency of the wild land appearing in the past, it will generally appear again after three to five years after the retreat."
Wen Chao explained, Ji Jiuying nodded, it seemed that she missed it when she closed her eyes.
"Xiaojiu, you don't want to go to the wilderness too, do you?" asked Prince Zhen.
"No, I'm just curious." Ji Jiuying shook her head. At first, she had indeed thought about it. This ancient battlefield had countless opportunities, and it was indeed a good way to quickly improve her cultivation. But when she heard Wen Chao say that the closing time and opening time would take three to five years, she gave up.
In her current situation, time is running out. Three to five years is too long and she can't wait.
Prince Zhen looked at Ji Jiuying in confusion, "Every time this wild land is opened, there will be three days of red moon. Didn't Xiaojiu know this before?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to condense.
Ji Jiuying smiled disapprovingly, "In my previous situation, it was good enough to have enough food to eat, so I didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things."
Wen Longting and Wen Longxiu glanced at Prince Zhen. This Prince Zhen was really talking about something irrelevant. Wen Longting even slapped him directly, "Hey~ Xiaoting, why did you hit me?"
"I'm going to beat you up. Why do you have to ask about the past when there are so many other things to ask?"
Prince Zhen realized it belatedly after hearing this, and smiled awkwardly at Ji Jiuying, "Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry... I forgot."
"It's okay, it's all over."
This was Ji Jiuying's true feelings. Although she inherited the original owner's memories, there was absolutely no trace of anything about the wild land and the red moon in her memories.
They soon started talking about other things.
About an hour later, Jin Chenzi slowly walked down from the altar, holding a Zen stick in one hand and placing the other hand on his chest. His brows were cold, and his eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, glanced at Ji Jiuying and finally fell on Wen Yan.
"Master Wen, the method has been completed. Now you need Master Wen to take out one of Young Master Wen's things."
Wen Yan glanced at the altar. There were golden flags with runes on the four sides of the altar. There was a raging fire burning around the flags, but it could not burn the flags at all.
At this time, Wen Longxiu said, "Master Kongchen, as long as it belongs to Big Brother, anything is fine?"
"Yes." Jin Chenzi glanced at her and answered expressionlessly.
"Dad, I'll go to my eldest brother's room to get it." Wen Longxiu said and turned to leave.
The yard was not far from Wen Chuyu's house. Wen Longxiu came back soon with a fan in her hand.
"Master Kongchen, this is the fan my brother often uses."
Wen Longxiu came to Jin Chenzi and handed the fan in her hand to him.
After taking the fan, Jin Chenzi didn't say much. He returned to the altar and threw the fan in his hand into the air. The fan floated in the air.
Everyone looked at the altar in silence.
The staff in his hand disappeared, and was replaced by a pyramid full of runes. The difference was that the pyramid in Jin Chenzi's hand was empty, and there were a few things similar to lots inside.
Jin Chenzi held the golden pagoda in his left hand and gestured quickly with his right hand. At the same time, golden runes surrounded the golden pagoda. More and more runes slowly flew towards the fan in the air and surrounded it.
Jin Chenzi closed his eyes and muttered something. A golden mark appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, he made a few quick gestures with the tip of his right finger, pointing to the golden pagoda in his left hand. The sticks in the golden pagoda kept shaking.
A magical scene appeared in everyone's sight. One of the sticks slowly flew out of the golden pagoda and stopped in front of Jin Chenzi.
Jin Chenzi slowly opened his eyes, and the mark on his forehead disappeared. He reached out and took the stick in front of him. He glanced at the stick in his hand, and his cold eyes flashed slightly a few times. At the same time, the golden tower and those golden runes also disappeared from everyone's sight.
Wen Chuyu's fan also fell into Jin Chenzi's hands.
Everyone walked forward impatiently and asked anxiously, "Master Kongchen, what do you think of this lot?"
Jin Chenzi stepped forward and placed the fan in Wen Longxiu's hand, then began to interpret the fortune, "Master Wen, this is a very bad fortune..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wen felt dizzy and staggered a few steps. Wen Longting and Ji Jiuying quickly helped her to sit aside.
Wen Yan also hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Madam, how are you?"
"I just can't accept it for the time being..." Mrs. Wen's eyes were red, and she was holding back tears. She couldn't imagine how she would live if something happened to Yu'er~
His body had just been saved by the princess, so why was he so desperate now that he had to take the risk? It would really make her angry to death.
Wen Yan said, "Madam, why don't you take Chun'er back to your room to rest first?"
Madam Wen shook her head. "I'll just sit here. My husband, don't worry about me. Just listen to what Master Kongchen has to say first."
At this time, Ji Jiuying patted Madam Wen on the back and said, "Madam, don't worry too much. You have to believe in Chu Yu. He will be able to turn danger into safety. Besides, Master Kong Chen is so powerful, he must have some way to rescue him."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wen nodded and listened to the master's words first, but she still couldn't help but place all her hopes on Jin Chenzi.
Seeing that Madam Wen was calm, Jin Chenzi continued, "Although this is a bad sign, good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and there is happiness in misfortune. The road ahead is dangerous and the fate is full of twists and turns, but Young Master Wen is born with nobleness, and there are noble people around to help him. If Young Master Wen can get through this, he will definitely achieve great things."
Ji Jiuying raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Jin Chenzi was quite capable.
At this time, the evil fire in the space said, "This monk has a great background, there is a Buddhist seal on his forehead."
[What does that mean?] Ji Jiuying asked in confusion. She had just seen the golden mark on Jin Chenzi's forehead, but she thought it was just part of his magic and didn't think much about it.
[Let me put it this way. The Buddha seal represents a symbol of honor and status in Buddhism. Monks with the Buddha seal on their foreheads are either reincarnations of high-ranking monks or disciples of Buddha, with high status and great magical powers. Obviously, the one in front of you has more of the former.]
The former? An enlightened monk?
[So it is true that he can see the secrets of heaven? ]
[That's natural. You can choose not to believe him, but you must believe Foyin.]
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying's eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Jin Chenzi's words. Fortunately, it was not the first result. Madam Wen quickly stood up and asked, "Master Kongchen, since fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and happiness can be found in misfortune, do we have any way to help Chuyu survive this disaster?"
The others focused their attention on Jin Chenzi again, and Jin Chenzi said, "Young Master Wen's luck has been activated. You can pray for him more often, preferably once every three days."
"Thank you, Master Kongchen." Madam Wen was delighted and turned to look at Wen Yan: "My husband, I heard that Lingyin Temple is very effective. Why don't we go to Lingyin Temple to pray for Yu'er."
"Okay, but Madam, Lingyin Temple is far away from here, and we may have to stay here to pray for blessings every three days. Chun'er is so attached to you, I'm afraid..." Wen Yan said with embarrassment, thinking of something.
Hearing this, Wen Longxiu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Father and mother, let me go."
Upon hearing this, Jin Chenzi lowered his eyelids, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said nothing.
Wen Yan looked at Wen Longxiu and frowned, "Xiu'er is thoughtful, but I'm worried about you going alone."
"Yes, let your father go." Mrs. Wen also said.
"Yan'er, you stay. Xiu'er and I will go." Wen Chao, who had been silent, spoke.
After discussion, it was finally decided that Wen Chao would take Wen Longxiu to Lingyin Temple to pray for blessings.
"Master, could you please help me take a look at this child's face?"
Mrs. Wen hugged Wen Chun, who had just woken up. His big eyes rolled around as he looked at the onlookers curiously. Only then did Ji Jiuying realize that Wen Chun's eyes looked very similar to Wen Chuyu's, except that Chuyu's eyes were ice blue.
Jin Chenzi glanced at Wen Chun and said slowly, "Your young master was born at an auspicious time. The five elements are mutually beneficial, your fortune is strong, and everything goes smoothly. It's just that your name conflicts with his five elements. Madam Wen might as well change Chun to Chun."
"Wen Chun?"
"That's right. Everything in the world cannot be separated from water. The five elements of this word belong to water. Water begins in Hai, flourishes in Zi, and is grounded in Chou. The weather is cold and the ground is frozen. The weather is cold and the ground is frozen. This is the Chou month. The name Wen Chun is more suitable for him."
Wen Chao nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this little Wen Chun would be a good businessman when he grew up.
Mrs. Wen nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. "Husband, what do you think?"
"Since Master Kongchen said that Wen Chun is more suitable for this kid, then let's call him Wen Chun."
Wen Longting's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she also came forward, looking at Jin Chenzi expectantly, "Master Kongchen, can you help me take a look?"
(I caught a cold again. The flu is prevalent recently. Everyone must take precautions when going home for the New Year gatherings.)
