Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

The nine-fingered old beggar said with a puzzled look on his face.

"What are you doing for me?"

"Look, this is the imperial edict the emperor just gave me, asking me to go to Kyoto to die!" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

The nine-fingered old beggar took the imperial edict, opened it and took a look, then closed it and returned it to Gu Chan, "Let's go! Let's talk in the Buddhist hall. We just cleaned the Buddhist hall, so it's a good time to go in and sit down."

"Okay, I'm feeling very upset right now." Gu Chan nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them walked towards the Buddhist temple together.

Because it was flooded before, the Buddhist hall still seems a little damp.

Fortunately, the floor was cleaned, and after lighting the candles, there was no such eerie feeling.

The two men walked to the cushion in front of the Buddha statue and sat down. The nine-fingered old beggar said, "You came to me because you want me to help you make a decision?"

"Please tell me my fortune! If I go, will I live or die?" Gu Chan said with a smile.

The nine-fingered old beggar nodded quietly, reached into the bag hanging on his waist, took out the tortoise shell used for divination, shook it in his hand a few times, and then poured the several copper coins in the tortoise shell onto the ground.

Gu Chan looked at the copper plate on the ground and said, "What does the hexagram show?"

"This hexagram is a death hexagram. If you really go to Kyoto this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back alive." The nine-fingered beggar sighed.

After saying that, he silently reached out to pick up a few copper coins on the ground and put them away together with the tortoise shell.

Gu Chan said expressionlessly, "Just now in the Lord's Mansion, Nan Xingkuang said something wrong."

"What?" asked the nine-fingered beggar curiously.

"He said that even if I don't go to Kyoto, I can think of other ways to save the people affected by the disaster in the Jiangnan area. But in fact, apart from going to Kyoto to get disaster relief silver and relief grain, I have no other way to provide disaster relief." Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

The nine-fingered old beggar lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

There is no doubt that after experiencing all the previous events, the lords from all over Tiancang Kingdom, as well as the royal family, all kept their distance from Gu Chan. Under such circumstances, if anyone dared to help her raise money and food for disaster relief, it would undoubtedly be sending a signal to the prince that they were helping Gu Chan to go against him!

Therefore, no one would dare to help Gu Chan at the moment. The only thing she could hope for was to go to Kyoto and get relief silver and grain from the prince.

But once she leaves, it will be her death!

One can imagine how difficult it is for Gu Chan at this moment.

Gu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "Old Boss, do you think I should go to Kyoto?"

"I think whether or not to go to Kyoto is not the most important thing. The most important thing is how to rescue the people affected by the disaster in the Jiangnan area!" said the nine-fingered old beggar.

Gu Chan was stunned at first, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said with shining eyes, "Thank you for your guidance, old boss. I know what to do now."

After saying that, Gu Chan stood up and ran outside happily. After running outside, she rode the tiger eagle and flew away.

The nine-fingered old beggar sat in front of the Buddha statue and muttered, "What did I tell him just now?"

The nine-fingered old beggar scratched his head and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Then he could only shake his head, got up and left with a puzzled look on his face, and went back to his room in the backyard to rest.

Early the next morning.

While Nan Xing Kuang was still sleeping in the room, a soldier came to his door and knocked.

Nan Xingkuang was woken up and said with an unhappy look on his face, "What's going on so early in the morning?"

"General, the chief steward of the lord's mansion is here and said he has something to discuss with you in person," said the soldier.

"Got it. Bring him outside and wait. I'll get up right away." Nan Xingkuang ordered.

The soldiers responded respectfully and immediately went to bring Wei Xing over and asked him to wait in the yard outside.

After half an incense stick of time had passed, Nan Xing Kuang opened the door and walked out of the house.

When he came to Wei Xing, he looked puzzled and asked, "Why did you come to talk to me so early in the morning?"

"General, this is something my lord asked me to bring to you." Wei Xing said as he reached out to take out the imperial edict from last night and handed it to Nan Xingkuang.

Nan Xing Kuang took the imperial edict and was completely confused, "What does Gu Chan mean by this?"

"General, the lord said that you should tell the emperor that when you went to the lord's mansion to convey the imperial edict last night, he was not there. He was outside trying to find a way to rescue the victims, so he asked you to deliver it to him seven days later." Wei Xing explained.

"Ah? What is he doing? He received the imperial edict and then came back to ask me to convey it?" Nan Xing Kuang frowned and said.

Wei Xing said with a grin, "If we run into our lord, all kinds of strange things can happen. I'll ask the general for help."

"No, tell me honestly, what does he want to do?" Nan Xingkuang asked curiously.

"I don't know either. Before dawn, she asked me to deliver the imperial edict to you, and then she flew to Nifeng Valley on a tiger eagle." Wei Xing said with his hands spread out.

Nan Xing frowned as he listened, and was immediately confused by what Gu Chan said.

After silently putting away the imperial edict, he asked again, "Did he say anything else?"

"He didn't say anything. He just asked me to return the imperial edict to you and then go back to cooperate with Xu Ziguang and Cheng Hao to rescue the victims in Jiangnan City and wait for him to come back with silver and food." Wei Xing said.

"Hiss... What is this kid doing? The imperial edict was sent back to me, but he didn't go to Kyoto, but went to Nifeng Valley instead. Could it be that he wants to ask those three powerful spirit beasts to accompany him to Kyoto?" Nan Xingkuang touched his chin with his hand and guessed secretly.

Wei Xing nodded without commenting, "That's possible. I guess he also wants the three spirit beasts to protect him."

"If he really wants to do this, there is no need for you to return the imperial edict to me!" Nan Xing Kuang said doubtfully.

"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I can't figure out what he means." Wei Xing said with a wry smile.

After saying this, he didn't say anything more, but immediately clasped his fists, bowed, and left.

Nan Xing Kuang stood there, looked at his departing back, then looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and was extremely confused.

Two hours later, in the Nifeng Valley.

At this time, Gu Chan was already sitting in the huge cave of Mo Qilin, gnawing on a roasted and fragrant frog leg in her hand.

In order to recuperate better, the Jiaolong shrunk its body to the same size as the black unicorn and the big black bear. In this way, they gathered in this cave and not only did it not feel crowded, but it also seemed very comfortable.

But at this moment, they were sitting quietly in front of Gu Chan, all looking at her with confusion.

The key point is that after Gu Chan came over riding the tiger eagle, she directly picked up firewood to make a fire, and then took a frog leg that they had left over to roast. After it was roasted, she sat by the fire and started to eat it in big mouthfuls. It had been more than an hour, and she didn't say a word.

How could this not make them feel depressed?
