Chapter 1008 Song Jiang's Highlight Moment

"This is yarrow (shī) grass."

"The top is the grass, the middle is the old, and the bottom is the sun, which means that the old man stands under the sun and uses the grass as a tool for divination."

"Yarrow is no more than three feet high and can grow for thousands of years. The stems are long, straight and hard. It is used for divination and can be used to understand the secrets of heaven."

……

Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao looked at the grass in Song Jiang's hand and listened quietly to his explanation, without any expression of impatience on their faces.

The Shamanism believed by the Jurchens has always been known as being good at divination. This era is not obvious. In history, the post-Golden Emperor Taiji worried that shamans would interfere in military politics, and even specifically prohibited shamans from divination. The influence of that period was quite profound.

And people tend to be more obsessed with the theory of gods when they are not going well. At the critical moment of the Jin Kingdom's survival, Brother Wanyan is no exception.

Song Jiang felt the enthusiasm between the two, and his tone became more and more calm: "There is a saying in "Book of Changes Xici" that the number of Dayan is fifty, and nine out of forty are used. To use yarrow for divination, first take fifty yarrow roots, Take out one that is not used, which symbolizes the mysteries of heaven and earth, and then separate the remaining forty-nine yarrow at random, and hold two hands, the left hand symbolizes the sky, and the right symbolizes the earth..."

He began to explain, at first easy to understand, then more and more profound.

A lot of the content involved what he had learned in the Book of the Book of Heaven, and Song Jiang himself didn't know what it meant, after all, he only knew this "Xuannv class" so far.

Fortunately, this made the Wanyan brothers even more confused, but they found that the black man's voice was a little faint, and he spoke clearly in front of his eyes, and his voice seemed to come from the sky, he was indeed a strange person.

Of course, everything still depends on the results.

Song Jiang quickly conducted a Xuannv class and gave the answer: "The person you want to make a fortune teller will come back from Da'an. Xiaoji has no benefit, there is no danger, and he will return soon."

Wanyan Gao narrowed his eyes: "How long will it take to see you?"

Song Jiangdao: "In one day, we will see the result!"

Wanyan Gao was a little moved, the divination of shamanism does not have such precise inferences, they are all ambiguous, Wanyan Wu Qimai also said: "General Song's fruit is extraordinary, it seems that it is taught by gods and men, it is true!"

Song Jianghei's face showed doubts at first, and then said coldly: "Deng Fei told you? Or Bao Xu?"

Wanyan Wu Qimai smiled slightly: "These two warriors have something to ask for, and they also recommended General Song to me."

Song Jiang gave a piss, and said decisively: "You Tibetans are all predators of the weak, there is no other reason at all, but we Han people are loyal and righteous first. The two asked Zhang Gong for divination. Song admitted it, but It is absolutely impossible to rely on..."

Wan Yangao sighed: "Precisely because General Song is a loyal generation, Yan Ting can pretend to be generous and accommodate Zhao's family, but can't accommodate Old Prime Minister Zhang and General Song, so you will stay in my Dajin, Is not it?"

Wanyan Wu begged and said: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a leader to serve. This is the saying of the Han people. Why should General Song be stubborn?"

Song Jiang frowned: "You two don't need to say more, the divination is over, and Song will leave!"

He turned around and walked out, the guards rushed over fiercely, Wanyan Wu Qimai waved his hand to let the guards back down, watched Song Jiang go away, and said: "How true or false is what this person said? "

Wanyan Gao said: "The truly staunch generation, such as Zhe Keshi and Zhongshi Dao, the generals of the Song army, at the moment of defeat, committed suicide in order to be loyal. People who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Don't look at Song Jiang's weathered face and mature appearance, but in fact he is only in his twenties, and even under thirty. A good life has just begun. How could he be willing to die?"

Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded slightly: "As long as he is willing to do divination, he can be used by our Jinren. Whether to go to the Western Regions or return to the ancestral land is related to the survival of our family, and we must ask about the good and bad luck!"

Wanyan Gao thought for a while and said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, Fourth Brother concentrates on government affairs, I'll give Song Jiang another try!"

……

"General Song please!"

With Wanyan Gao leading the way, Song Jiang walked into the prison cell, and saw two people hanging up, their bodies dripping with blood.

Song Jiang's eyes widened: "Deng Fei? Bao Xu? Didn't they turn to you Jin people?"

Wanyan Gao smiled: "General Song's divination yesterday came true. It is really a thaumaturgy. To show respect, I am willing to imprison General Song's enemies and let General Song vent his anger!"

Song Jiang sneered, and was a little strange: "You are so fawning, what are you going to use my 'Xuannu Class' for?"

Wanyan Gao said: "Let's not mention it first, how to deal with these two people?"

Song Jiang clenched his fists and said in a hateful voice: "Of course I will kill them. If it wasn't for this general's promotion, they are still low-status people. How can they serve the country?"

Deng Fei and Bao Xu were originally in a daze, but they seemed to wake up suddenly when they heard this. They took a closer look and cursed: "Song Jiang, you black and incompetent person, you promised us to make great achievements and honor our ancestors, and now every brother and sister died in battle. Now, there are only the two of us left, still in this cruel and barbaric land, not allowed to return to the Central Plains, what face do you have standing in front of you!!"

Song Jiang's face was livid: "It's reversed! It's reversed! Come on, drag them down quickly, and those who take refuge in the Jinren will die!"

These words were very harsh, and the surrounding golden guards did not move for a while.

Seeing the reactions of the two parties, Wan Yangao also prepared to release the two of them. Now that the hearts of the two parties have been dispersed, nothing will happen to those who take refuge in the Jinren.

"No! If it's a bitter trick..."

But just as he was about to speak, he frowned, rolled his eyes and said, "How about killing someone?"

Song Jiang's face darkened: "If you want to kill, kill them all. What's the point of killing one person? Are you deliberately disgusting Song by keeping this traitor by your side?"

Wan Yangao smiled and said: "General Song, don't be so hostile. They are also rare generals. They followed General Song to charge and put down many rebels. Now they are all killed. Wouldn't it be a pity? Choose one person to kill, it can be deterrent The other person, who still has something to use, is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds!"

Wanyan Gao smiled and said to Deng Fei and Bao Xu: "Have you heard that, why don't you beg General Song to let yourself live and let the other die?"

Deng Fei and Bao Xu were stunned, their faces pale, and hissed: "Jin Man, you are too vicious, we kindly voted for you, how could you do that?"

Wanyan Gao ignored him and turned to Song Jiang: "General Song?"

Song Jiang stared at the two of them, he seemed to be hesitating, and after a while, he said slowly, "Now you can see the true face of the golden man, Deng Fei, you are finally getting closer to me on weekdays, and you have high martial arts skills. Are you willing to change your ways?"

Deng Fei snorted coldly, but finally said: "Brother Gongming, I was wrong!"

Wan Yangao nodded: "I heard that General Song was born as a prison officer, and this Deng Fei is also a servant, so he must be closer to him. The one who was born as a bandit, deserves to die... Drag Bao Xu down!"

Bao Xu was furious, his body struggled crazily, the chain rattled, and when he was dragged up by several golden warriors, he still roared: "Song Jiang! You promised my future, you promised my future!! "

Not long after, a bloody head was presented.

Song Jiang couldn't help it, his eyes were red, and he sighed immediately: "This person has been with me for many years, and he has made great contributions. I didn't expect that he would not be guaranteed at the end of the day. Such a way of dying is really heartbreaking!"

Wanyan Gao watched coldly from the sidelines, and was basically relieved: "General Song still has a deep prejudice against my Jin people, anyway, I ask you one last thing, as long as it is completed, I will release Old Prime Minister Zhang and give him a daughter, how about it?"

Song Jiang flicked his sleeves, very impatient: "I hope you keep your promise!"

……

"Where do you want to go?"

Song Jiang, who was brought back into the palace, listened to the emperor's younger brother's request under the surveillance of layers of guards, and showed a puzzled look: "What do you mean? Isn't the front line a big victory?"

Wanyan Gao's face was ugly and he couldn't hide it.

The bad news from the front came back, and it was worse than the worst result imagined.

Not only Wanyan Agu was beaten to death by Emperor Yan, but the main force of the Jin army with [-] soldiers was in danger of being completely wiped out. In the end, only Wanyan Zonghan's [-] cavalry were the only ones who fled back.

After repeatedly confirming that the news was correct, Wanyan Wu Qimai immediately announced that the former army had won a great victory and had already invaded the Great Wall, preparing to plunder the wealth of the Central Plains. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Yan Kingdom sent a large number of spies to spread the news in the Jin Kingdom , It is to make the rear supply insufficient.

As soon as the news came out, the collection of food, grass and materials by all parties went much smoother, and then they were all loaded into vehicles, and together with the Jurchens who had assembled early, they were ready to leave.

In order to be safe, those Jurchens who intermarried with other ethnic groups did not bring along. Wanyan Wu begged to bring all the direct descendants on this trip, especially the thriving next generation, which is the future of the Jurchens and must be protected.

But when they asked the opinions of the various tribes, they didn't want to go to the remote and unknown Western Regions or the ancestral land of poverty.

The final decision must be made by the successor, the second emperor of the Kingdom of Jin.

Wanyan Wu believed in Buddhism before begging for money. While looking for a shaman in the clan for divination, he also pinned his hopes on the mysterious Xuannv class.

Wan Yangao unfolded the map and pointed out the locations of the Western Regions and the ancestral land in detail: "The general Song wants to divination is to go to these two places, what is the luck?"

Song Jiang frowned: "I have little talent and learning, the 'Xuannu class' is only superficial, and I have never done divination before..."

"It's okay, General Song just needs to go all out!"

Wanyan Gao didn't take it seriously, clapped his hands again, asked the guards to carry the gold, and the maid served fine wine: "This is the promised daughter, this is the royal wine given by the emperor, to thank General Song!"

Song Jiang looked at the gold, then stared at the imperial wine again, took the drink without hesitation, stretched out his hand to grab the yarrow, closed his eyes slightly, and muttered something in his mouth.

This time the divination was extraordinarily long.

With Song Jiang's talent, he felt that he seemed to have really communicated with the secret.

Since the intensive study of the heavenly scriptures, there has never been such an insight into the mystery at this time, and there is unprecedented confidence in the result.

When he opened his eyes and interpreted the hexagram of yarrow, he suppressed the sadness and joy in his heart, and gave an authoritative explanation with a blank face:

"Going to the Western Regions will be dangerous and dangerous, and there will be no chance of life!"

"Go back to the ancestral land, good luck, and prosperous family!"
