Chapter 39
After Ji Liao returned to the boat, he only slept for half an hour. He was strong in his internal strength, and after a little practice, he was full of energy and was not tired. Then Ji Liao ordered someone to bring the clothes he had prepared before and wash them up.
Gu Weirui slept quite peacefully that night. She woke up first than Ji Liao, but it took a lot of effort to dress up, so when she went to the dining hall, Ji Liao was already waiting there.
When she saw Ji Liao, she said, "Why are you wearing this outfit today?"
It turned out that at this time, Ji Liao was dressed in a feathered suit, with big sleeves floating, elegant and profound, making people think that an immortal descended to earth and was not stained with dust.
Ji Liao smiled mysteriously and said, "It will be of great use."
Gu Weirui was very puzzled and asked several times. Ji Liao only knew it when the time came. She did not continue to ask questions. After using the meal, she took a boat to her house.
It turns out that the Gu family is not a manor, but the entire tribe has built water pavilions in the water town, and they always walk on waterways when they go out.
Although the journey was not long, Gu Weirui and the others did not set off early, so they arrived at the "Linfeng Shui Pavilion" where Gu Rong was located. They stopped the boat and went ashore, and a servant from the Gu family came to ask. However, when the servant saw Gu Weirui, he was shocked and his feet became weak. It was obvious that the lady had not had a few days of funeral, so why did she come back to life again. In broad daylight, he still thought he had seen a ghost and ran all the way.
But after a while, a group of people followed Gu Rong. Gu Rong was of course very happy to see his daughter. He only held a funeral for his daughter a few days ago. Now she appeared in front of everyone in broad daylight. For a moment, Gu Rong didn't know how to explain.
Ji Liao bowed to Gu Rong and said, "Uncle Gu, my nephew, used the 'Seven-Star Art' taught by his family teacher to pay Miss Weirui's life. When the heavens saw mercy, they finally succeeded."
Gu Rong knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and knew that it was Ji Liao who explained Gu Weirui's resurrection. He said excitedly: "I really don't know how to repay the life of Ji Xian's nephew for his daughter."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Weirui and wiped his tears with his cuffs. He was sincere and moved.
Gu Weirui was also a little excited and rushed into Gu Rong's arms, constantly calling out "Dad."
Although Ji Liao couldn't see it, he could also feel his performance at the level of the actor from Gu Rong's emotions and tone. He became more and more calm and calm, waiting for the father and daughter to vent their emotions. This static and dynamic comparison, if it were a movie, he would definitely achieve classics.
When others saw Ji Liaoyu's clothes and starry cap, the lake and mountains behind him could only serve as his foil. They believed that he was a master, but he was a little younger. However, those immortals with successful cultivation were said to have the skills to keep their faces alive, and this Taoist priest might have lived for hundreds of years. They did not dare to be negligent, for fear of hitting the gods.
This is related to the trend of Jiangzuo. It turns out that the saying of worshipping Tianshidao, taking Hanshi Powder, and a god of alchemy are deeply rooted in the hearts of the villagers. Ji Liao prescribed the right medicine to reduce the adverse effects of Gu Weirui's resurrection from the dead.
When Gu Rong and Gu Weirui calmed down, someone suddenly asked: "Dare you ask which immortal master this little Taoist master is from and which school of Taoism is well-versed in?"
The person who asked was a young man in his early twenties, with a similar appearance to Gu Rong, but his eyebrows were full of heroic spirit and a tall figure, as if he was a pine and cypress.
Ji Liao smiled and said, "My teacher, Zhuge, whose name is Kongming, knows astronomy and geography, and knows all the skills and numbers of Qimen."
The young man said, "But I have never heard of any famous immortal master named Zhuge Kongming, and no one can have the ability you said." His name is Gu Ying, and he is the son of Gu Rong's brother, second in the family, and a hero. Seeing Ji Liao's appearance, he always felt that this person's origin was unknown. Even if he saved his cousin, he might have other intentions and was an evil demon.
Seeing that his nephew was suspicious, Gu Rong said, "Erlang, don't be rude to guests. Nephew Ji Xian is a really capable person. He once brought back a dead pot to life. That was what I saw with my own eyes." In fact, he exaggerated the fact that Ji Liao saved the green pine that day. It was not dead at that time, but Gu Rong of course had to support Ji Liao to say this.
He is a well-known person, and others will not think that Gu Rong is lying, and even more, he thinks that Ji Liao is really capable.
Gu Ying was a little angry and thought, maybe his uncle was also fooled by this guy. He preconceived ideas and always thought that Ji Liao used evil methods, and it was not true that he might not do anything about his cousin.
Ji Liao said, "Brother Tai is afraid that I think I have fabricated my identity, so I can't hide it. Although I was born in the Four Seasons Villa in Cangzhou, although it is not as good as your family's generations, it has a century-old reputation. As for the family teacher, he is a hermit, so he is not known to everyone. However, he does have the talent of heaven and earth, and his literary and martial arts, all of which are the best in ancient and modern times. Although I am not talented, I also have the ability of a family teacher. If my brother Tai is confused, we will come to the hall and give me a random question. I said I can't answer it, so please sweep me out."
Gu Ying's family has a lot of knowledge and has a wide range of friendships. He still heard about Siji Villa. He knew that although the other party was not a family of officials, he was a great family. The children of such families could confirm their identity by checking them a little. Therefore, he directly scored the suspicion of Ji Liao. However, Ji Liao boasted that Zhuge Kongming was too exaggerated, so Gu Ying felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Okay, let's go inside and ask each other for advice."
Gu Rong didn't stop him. He knew Ji Liao's talent very well and knew that Ji Liao would not suffer any losses. Moreover, his nephew was arrogant and should have let him know that there were people outside the heavens.
The group went directly to the water pavilion hall, each of them took their seats, and prepared a seat in the middle, and the two of them sat down to discuss the story.
The two of them first knew their names and characters, and then Gu Ying said, "Then I'll start asking."
Ji Liao smiled and signaled, "Brother Gu."
Gu Ying said: "Since Brother Ji's teacher is known as 'the superiors know astronomy and geography', Gu first asked heaven: Is there a head of heaven?"
Ji Liao smiled and said, "I have a head."
Gu Ying said in a deep voice: "Where is the head?"
Ji Liao said: "Western."
Gu Ying's heart sank, because Ji Liao's answer was the same as he thought. Without waiting for him to ask, Ji Liao continued: "The ancient text says: I favor Xi Gu. From this we can recommend it."
Gu Ying looked stern, knowing that Ji Liao was indeed a real person. At this time, most of his suspicion about Ji Liao was gone, but his competitive spirit was not diminished. He nodded and said, "There is no ear to heaven."
Ji Liao gave the answer without thinking, "Yes."
...
Every time Gu Ying's question comes up, Ji Liao can answer it casually and make up for the source. Some of the Gu family members who have been with great talent around him have seen him and believe that he is indeed a capable little god. Now that Ji Liao's talent is revealed, they believe it even more.
Gu Ying was already sweating profusely and released the last problem. After being easily resolved by Ji Liao, she had to admit defeat and said, "Brother Ji is a talent."
Ji Liao responded to this conversation with a clear and clear speech, and the judgement was made immediately, which made Gu Ying convince.
Ji Liao didn't plan to let Gu Ying go lightly, and said leisurely: "Brother Gu's family has a deep knowledge. Since I asked about the sky just now, I'll ask you here."
Gu Ying said: "Brother Ji, please ask." He knew that he was asking for trouble, but he was convinced of his loss. At the same time, he was curious about the same subject, so what could Ji Liao ask.
Ji Liao said: "At the beginning of ancient times, who preached the teachings? The upper and lower parts were not in shape, how can we examine them? The darkness is dark, who can be extreme? Feng Yi only has the image, how can we recognize them? The brightness is dark, but what is the time?"
After asking this passage, he was silent, and even Gu Rong lost his color.
