Ji Chang watched the people dig the pond on the spiritual altar. Unknowingly, the sky had darkened, so he set up a banquet for the monarch and his subjects to drink together.
After the banquet ended, Ji Chang got someone to make a bed on the spiritual altar and began to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Ji Chang dreamed of a tiger with a white forehead and a pair of wings on its back pouncing towards him.
Ji Chang suddenly woke up and hurriedly called for his Protector Beasts.
Ji Chang didn't know if this dream was ominous or auspicious, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Early the next morning, after the civil and military officials went up to the stage to pay their respects, Ji Chang told them about the dream he had last night and asked San Yisheng to help him interpret it.
San Yisheng bowed and said," Congratulations, Your Majesty. This dream is a good omen. Your Majesty has gained a great talent. Back then, Shang Tang had a flying bear in his dream. He got the legend from the slaves who built the city. Now, Your Majesty dreamed of a tiger with wings. This is a flying bear. This is a good omen for the prosperity of Zhou.”
San Yisheng's words made Ji Chang's heart burst with joy. He was now looking for an excuse to rebel, and this was a good excuse.
He sighed with emotion. This spiritual altar was indeed not built in vain.
After Jiang Ziya came to Xiqi, he lived in seclusion in the stream. He read the Yellow Court sutra every day to comprehend and cultivate.
When he was free, he would fish under the willows on the bank of Weishui River, waiting for his luck to change.
On this day, Jiang Ziya was fishing when a woodcutter walked towards him.
The woodcutter carried a load of firewood and walked over while singing a folk song.
Walking to the willow tree, the woodcutter unloaded his load.
"Old sir, you look unfamiliar."
"I'm from Xu Province. My surname is Jiang, my name is Shang Ziya, and my Daoist name is Fei Xiong.”
Jiang Ziya said as he threw the hook into the river.
The woodcutter couldn't stop laughing when he heard that.
"What's your name?" Jiang Ziya was baffled by his laughter.
"My surname is Wu and my name is Ji, I'm from Xi Qi.”The woodcutter continued to laugh after he finished speaking.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Ziya could not help but ask.
"Only experts and saints have titles. You have no other strengths and only know how to wait here. There's nothing brilliant about you, but you actually have a dao name.”
After saying that, Wu Ji picked up Jiang Ziya's fishing line and saw that there was a needle hanging on it, and there was no bait.
" Age doesn't matter if you're ambitious. You live for a hundred years without a plan. You don't use a hook or bait to fish. You won't catch a fish even if you fish for a hundred years. It shows how stupid you are. How dare you call yourself a flying bear?”
"Although this old man is fishing, my original intention isn't to fish. I'm just waiting for the Blue Clouds Road to open up and soar. I'd rather take it from the straight path than seek it from the curved path.”
Wu Ji laughed even louder when he heard this. He thought that Jiang Ziya was probably crazy.
"Your face doesn't look like a king, but more like a monkey.”
Jiang Ziya was not angry when he heard this.""I don't think your face is good either. Your left eye is green and your right eye is red.”
When Wu Ji heard this, he immediately flew into a rage."I'm just joking with you. How can you hurt people with your vicious mouth?”
Jiang Ziya shook his head and continued fishing.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wu Ji was too lazy to argue with Jiang Ziya. He picked up the firewood and entered the city.
As soon as they reached the city gate, they heard the royal guards shout,"Qian Sui is here, get out of the way."
Wuji hurriedly dodged, but because the city gate was too narrow and crowded, he accidentally slipped a bundle of firewood. The end of the pole tip tilted up, flipped over, and fell down. It happened to fall on the guard's ear, killing him in an instant.
For a moment, the crowd started to become chaotic.
"Woodcutter killed the guard." People kept shouting.
Everyone sent Wu Ji to King Wen, Ji Chang. Ji Chang looked at Wu Ji and said,"Why did you kill the guard?"
"Your Majesty, my name is Wu Ji. I am a good citizen of Xi Qi. Because I was avoiding Your Majesty, the road was too narrow. My carrying pole accidentally slipped and injured the guards.”
Wu Ji really felt like the sky was falling down, but he had no choice. There were troops all around him, not to mention that Ji Chang knew 64 hexagrams. The entire Xi Qi knew that even if the criminal escaped to the ends of the earth, he would still be caught.
Moreover, his family would be implicated because of this.
"You killed the guard, so you should pay with your life. It's just that I have something to do now, so I'll deal with your matters when I come back.”
As Ji Chang spoke, he erected a wooden stake on the ground and drew a circle. That circle was the prison, and the wooden stake was the warder.
Ji Chang left after drawing the circle.
Wu Ji was imprisoned in the circle for three days and three nights. No one cared about him. He immediately burst into tears and San Yisheng happened to pass by.
"A life for a life, why are you crying?"
"This lowly one has nothing to say about killing someone to pay with his life. However, this lowly one has a seventy-year-old mother in my family. This lowly one has no brothers and has no family.”
The more Wuji thought about it, the sadder he became and the louder he cried.
San Yisheng thought that he was accidentally injured and should be given a lighter sentence.
"When I see Qian Sui, I'll plead for you and let you go. Prepare a coffin for your mother and firewood.”
Wu Ji was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly kowtowed to San Yisheng.
After Ji Chang found out about Bukit, he let Bukit go home in order to show others.
When Buji returned home and saw his old mother, he was sobbing.
"Where has my son been these past three days? I don't see anyone."
Wu Ji immediately recounted how he had killed the man, but at this time, he remembered what Jiang Ziya had said and told his mother.
"I'm afraid this person is really an otherworldly expert. If you want to live, you have to find him.”After all, Wu Ji's mother was knowledgeable and knew that Jiang Ziya might really be a master.
Wu Ji hurried to the river and knelt down without saying a word when he saw Jiang Ziya fishing.
"Sir, save me!"
