"Spiritual formation, he actually set up a spiritual formation in front of him!"
Not only Xiong Xizhe, but also all the warrior monks watching the battle had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Yang Junshan actually formed a spiritual formation in the chess formation and defeated Xiong Xizhe with overwhelming force.
!
Is the gap between the two really so big? Could it be that Yang Junshan had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? Could it be that Xiong Xizhe lost on purpose?
The gap between the front and back of this game was so great that one had to wonder if there was something fishy about it. As a result, everyone watching the chess, including Shi Jingxuan and Xiong Xiying, looked at the two sides with suspicion.
Explore people.
However, looking at Xiong Xizhe holding the edge of the square table with both hands, his fingers almost sinking into the wood, it was obvious that he was very unwilling to lose in this game, so everyone looked at Yang Junshan suspiciously.
Could it be that the real reason is that Yang Junshan is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
But if that is the case, Xiong Xizhe should be furious at this time. However, seeing that Xiong Xizhe is still trapped in the chess game and cannot extricate himself, and obviously does not think that Yang Junshan is playing tricks on him, is there really something fishy about this chess game?
"My spiritual awareness is not as good as yours. I didn't expect you to be so skilled in the deduction of formations. Previously, you showed weakness just because you were not familiar with the formations. When you were setting up the Jade Broken Formation, you were also familiar with it.
This chess formation, and I still underestimated you after all. I couldn't see through the hidden jade broken formation with my spiritual consciousness. And after you became familiar with the formation chess, you were one step behind in the formation chess deduction. You won the difficult and dangerous victory but
It’s natural, and I don’t dare to lose, but it’s natural!”
Hearing what Xiong Xizhe said, everyone nodded and finally understood the whole story. Even if they still had doubts in their hearts, even Xiong Xizhe himself gave the reason. They themselves were not in the same chess formation, so naturally they had nothing to say.
.
On the other hand, Yang Junshan secretly thought that since the other party had found a reason and attributed the failure to spiritual consciousness and formation deduction, he would not have to waste time explaining it, so he smiled and said: "This round is Taoist Xiong.
It’s careless, but it’s just a fluke!”
Unexpectedly, Xiong Xizhe said seriously: "I am careless, but you may not be lucky. I am indeed not as good as you in formation formations!"
Having said that, Xiong Xizhe thrust his left hand deep into the cuff of his right hand, and when he stretched out his hand, there was already a three-inch wide white jade board, saying: "What is recorded on this is the spiritual materials and methods needed to refine the formation chess.
However, the method above can only be used to refine a low-grade chessboard. This is not because I am stingy, but my Xiong family only has the method to refine a low-grade chessboard, and it was obtained at a considerable cost."
Xiong Xizhe's uprightness and frankness made Yang Junshan take a high look. This also made it difficult for him to associate the person in front of him with the Xiong family member who had previously provoked him. He secretly thought that the previous provocation was also motivated by
I have no choice but to blame Xiong Xiying and Shi Jingxuan for most of the trouble.
Yang Junshan took it with both hands and said seriously: "Each level of chessboard refining method has its own inheritance. I know this. Being able to obtain the refining method of a low-level chessboard is already generous to me, Taoist Xiong. Thank you very much.
Got it!"
Xiong Xizhe waved his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but he was obviously hesitant. In the end, he nodded slightly towards Yang Junshan, stood up, put away the chessboard, and walked straight out of the back hall.
Xiong Xiying saw that Xiong Xizhe ignored everyone and walked out of the back hall. He quickly caught up and shouted: "Third brother,..."
Xiong Xizhe suddenly turned around, but it was not because of Xiong Xiying's call. Instead, he looked at Yang Junshan and said: "The inner formation is as motionless as a mountain, and the outer formation is the magnetic aura. What you have laid out on the chessboard is actually Xishan Village."
The formation diagram of the village protection formation?"
Seeing Yang Junshan nod with a smile, Xiong Xizhe hesitated for a moment, said "Brilliant", then turned around and left.
Xiong Xiying was about to make another appeal to stay, but unexpectedly, a figure flashed in front of him, and Blacksmith Zhang was already standing in front of him, saying: "Why, losing a bet is like rubbing oil on the soles of your feet? Where is the jade coin that was pressed up just now? The big-breasted young man is rich and powerful.
We, the country folk, still have to buy rice to eat!"
Xiong Xiying immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, threw a money bag on the square table, and shouted: "Will this young master owe you this little money?"
After saying that, she snorted coldly, walked out of the back hall angrily, and left straight away. Xu Sanniang's laughter came from far behind, and she said: "This time, I didn't come in vain. I never wanted to return the favor."
I can earn a sum of jade coins from Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, feel free to take it out, please?"
"Oh, I know," Shi Jingxuan's slightly anxious voice came from behind, saying: "Don't always stand in my way. Of course I won't default on your debts, but you must let me give one to the two young masters. I hope you can give me a gift."
Brother Ying, Brother Xiying, don’t leave in a hurry..."
Xiong Xiying pretended not to hear anything, lowered her head and walked faster!
In the corner of the back hall, Shi Nansheng gave a wry smile and murmured to himself: "That's good. If I stop thinking about him, I might be able to find peace..."
A few days later, An Xia returned from Chenyu County after a long journey, and the caravan from Xishan Village returned with him.
An Xia settled the caravan properly and hurried back to the Yang family residence. When he saw Yang Junshan, he asked: "Xiaoshan, why are you so anxious to recall the caravan?"
Yang Junshan hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, then handed over a list, and said: "No hurry, the seventh uncle just came back for a sip of tea, please take another look at this list."
While drinking tea, An Xia put the list in front of his eyes to browse, but his brows gradually wrinkled and said: "Xiaoshan, the things here don't seem to be of high quality, but they are really hard to find. You have to use these things.
What do you need to do to protect the village?"
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "It has something to do with the village protection formation, but it will not affect the progress of the formation. The spiritual materials on it are just for uncle to pay attention to when you are doing business. If you have spare time, try your best.
When collecting, don’t force yourself if you really can’t find it.”
An Xia folded up the list in his hand and said: "Okay, I'll help you look after it. You haven't been in the village for a while. Originally, your father was in seclusion. I was worried about whether you could straighten things out in the village. Unexpectedly,
Everything is in order, and the progress of the village protection formation has also been greatly increased. I found that Lin Chengsi is not only exploring the ground veins of Xishan Village, he has even begun to mark the ground veins around Xishan. Why, Xiaoshan, you want to
The entire Xishan Mountain and the surrounding areas are all included in the village protection formation?"
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "Xishan Village will always expand. We have to take a long-term view. Besides, Xishan is a solitary mountain. There are no other villages around except Xishan Village. The land of Lingyuan is 10%. Originally, Xishan was behind the mountain.
The wasteland and wild ridges are not necessarily without the possibility of development, and occupying them early will save others from being jealous in the future."
An Xia smiled and said: "That's true, uncle, you can rest assured if you are well-informed about the affairs in the village. Let's talk about the caravan. The caravan didn't make much profit when traveling in Yu County. This time it went to Chen
On a trip to Yu County, not only did I not make any jade coins, I almost lost my money."
"Now the whole Yu County is in panic. Everyone is deliberately trying to exchange the jade coins in their hands for Linggu. The price of food, which has finally fallen in the past two years, has risen again. From the news I collected during this period,
Look, the harvest of Linggu in Yu County and even the entire Yuzhou this year has dropped by at least 30 to 40%. Although it is far less serious than the huge locust plague in previous years, the scope of the impact this time is too wide, and most of Yuzhou’s Linggu
All have to cut production, which is serious."
An Xia paused and said: "You urgently recruited me back this time. On the way, I thought about it. The warehouse in the village also has a batch of spiritual grains accumulated over the years. There is a lot of it. I heard that the spiritual fields in the village were damaged this year.
It is extremely light and there will be no risk of food shortage. Do you want to take the opportunity to sell this batch of spiritual grains and make a big profit? After all, if you want to complete the arrangement of the village protection array, you will need a lot of supplies. Although you are confident
The main body of the formation will be completed this year, but once the formation is completed, the operation, management, repairs, etc. of the formation will not require a large amount of material investment. This is simply a bottomless pit. Let us take advantage of the opportunity to save a little bit."
Yang Junshan had been listening to An Xia's words, and when he saw that he had almost said it, he nodded and said: "What the seventh uncle said is correct, but my nephew doesn't want to touch the batch of spiritual grains that the village has saved over the years just yet.
After all, this batch of spiritual valleys belongs not only to us, but also to the Old Yang family, and to the entire Xishan Village. If they are to be moved, there will inevitably be too much movement."
When An Xia heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Xiao Shan, do you have any other connections?"
Yang Junshan nodded and said, "Uncle, have you forgotten where the caravan was the most profitable?"
An Xia blurted out: "Of course you can make the most money by doing business outside Yu County, but the border situation is so tense now..."
At this point, An Xia was suddenly startled, raised his head and said happily: "The border trade road is going to be reopened? I'm afraid the secret road cannot be used. Has the tax at the trade road checkpoint been reduced?"
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "My uncle guessed half of it right. Border trade will indeed be opened, but no more trade routes will be opened. Instead, a market will be opened for open trade at the border. This will reduce the usual exorbitant taxes and subordinate officials.
.”
"Inquiry? This is a good idea," An Xia then asked: "Is the news reliable?"
Yang Junshan nodded and said: "It's reliable, but not many people know the news now, so we have to take this opportunity to stock up on a batch of supplies. Now the trade routes between Mengyu County, Lingzhang County, and Huyao County have been interrupted for a long time. Once it is questioned,
We have to make a lot of money as soon as the market opens, otherwise once the three major powers react, they will be able to mobilize far more material resources than we can, and it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity."
At this time, An Xia had already wiped away the fatigue from the journey. He stood up and said, "I will do the work of raising supplies. I guarantee that they will be most urgently needed in Lingzhang County and Huyao County."
