Returning to Penglai Yuqing Temple, Luo Yan once again stroked the timeline of this character.
Compared to the Secret Realm of the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun and the Demon Locking Tower trial in Shushan, nothing has happened here in Penglai since the trip to the palace.
I have to mention something, but the last time I went out with Miss Shi, I overheard a passing monk talking about "one hundred thousand gods and demons attacking Penglai".
At first, I thought about informing the sect, but later I thought it would be better not to tell anyone, as it would easily expose myself.
Now incarnated as Wei Dongliu, Luo Yan roughly guessed that the Six Paths of the Demon Sect was indeed planning to attack the Orthodox Sect of the Three Purities after being hinted at by Witch Jiang in Mount Wutai, and the overall strategy was probably to "attack Shushan openly and attack Penglai secretly".
The Dragon Clan rioted and the Demon Locking Tower was damaged, until the Long-Eyebrow Immortal used the Liangyi Dust Formation to rescue the Qing faction on Shushan Mountain from the power of the Yinglong Demon.
Today, the Qing sect in Shu Mountain is like an injured hedgehog with spikes all over its body, staring at all the disturbances around it with vigilance... As for the distant Penglai in the East China Sea, it probably has no time to take care of it.
If Penglai is suddenly attacked, the only foreign aid that can be relied on is Kunlun.
But the Kunlun Mountains are located in the far west. When the monks cross the Chinese mainland and run all the way to the East China Sea, Penglai may be finished...
No, you still have to observe to see if there are any early warnings.
Luo Yan cleaned up the room and just went out when he saw Miss Shi rushing out with her head in her hands and screaming:
"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen! My father just thinks I'm annoying and wants to drive me away!"
She quickly went to her room, slammed the door, and locked herself in.
Elder Shi Ding walked into the courtyard, looked at Shi Liuli's room, opened his mouth to speak, and then sighed after a long while.
Then he set his sights on Luo Yan, subconsciously raised his face and asked:
"Luo Yan, how are you doing with your studies recently?"
Luo Yan knew that his master needed to change the subject, so he quickly and respectfully asked a few questions about formations.
"This question is quite interesting." Elder Shi Ding stroked his beard and turned to leave, "Follow me."
Luo Yan quickly followed his master's pace, keeping silent all the way and not asking what happened to Miss Shi at all.
Arriving at the back hall of Tiangongfang, Elder Shi Ding pointed to the ground and said:
"Complete this formation."
Luo Yan looked closely and saw an incomplete formation drawn on the ground, with a diameter of about ten meters.
In the center of the formation is placed a half-height bronze cauldron, surrounded by dense incantations. At a glance, the number seems to have exceeded 10,000, and there are more than ten formation flags to maintain the formation's eyes.
Staring at him intently, Elder Shi Ding asked with a smile:
“Do you know where to start with the completion?”
"Here." Luo Yan pointed his hand, but it was under the foot of the central cauldron.
"Why?" Elder Shi Ding asked.
"The outer structure is complete, and the inner layer has no connection with the cauldron. It should be a rune layout." Luo Yan stretched out a finger, moved his true energy, carved a rune in the air, and then drove it into the cauldron.
I saw the rune sinking into the cauldron, and then immediately appeared under the foot of the tripod. In order to make room for it, many incantations that originally surrounded the central cauldron were expanded by one character position, as if they were tightly interlocked.
The gear turned a ratchet.
"Very good." Elder Shi Ding said with satisfaction, "With your understanding of the formation method, you can go ahead of me."
A person who is better than an expert will definitely be better than an expert. This is already a very high evaluation, so that Luo Yan quickly lowered his head and said in fear:
"How can a disciple be so virtuous and capable..."
"Don't be too modest." Elder Shi Ding waved his hand. He didn't know that Luo Yan was brushing up the synchronization value of his false character, but he was extremely pleased with his modesty. "After hearing a thousand things, this is your talent, but maybe it's also your talent.
It’s a burden. After all, in this world of cultivation, strength must speak for itself.”
Having said this, his voice paused for a moment, and suddenly he said melancholy:
"Except for the formation method, your own cultivation cannot fall behind. The time left for you may not be much..."
Luo Yan:?????????
On the surface he was puzzled, but in his heart he was alarmed!!!
What does "I don't have much time left" mean?
There was lightning in his mind, various thoughts collided violently, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind. Suddenly, some kind of enlightenment emerged from his heart. Luo Yan was so shocked that he half raised his head and asked tentatively:
"Master, what is the situation inside the temple now? Could it be that even our Foundation Establishment Realm disciples are not immune?"
Elder Shi Ding was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to react. He knew that this disciple must have misunderstood, so he explained in a dumbfounded way:
"That's not true. But the temple master found me the day before yesterday and wanted to make his son have a good relationship with Liuli."
The so-called "making a good relationship" is actually socializing with the meaning of blind date.
The two get along for a while, and if they both get along later, they will become a Taoist couple. If not, they will at least become familiar with each other.
For the master of Xuandu Temple, Tiangongfang, run by Elder Shi Ding, is the main source of income in the temple, and Shi Liuli is his only apple, so it is normal to propose such a desire to make friends.
Elder Shi Ding is fine, but in the end it still depends on who Shi Liuli likes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she told Shi Liuli, the eldest lady immediately misunderstood, thinking that her father wanted to betroth her to someone else in order to curry favor with the master of Xuandu Temple... And so the previous scene happened.
Luo Yan looked a little dumbfounded after hearing Elder Shi Ding's depressed words.
Of course he has seen Miss Shi's ability to think things through before - it's especially outrageous when it comes to love.
According to Luo Yan’s long-term observation and in-depth analysis, Miss Shi is actually a typical love phobia:
On the one hand, she has excessive longings and fantasies about love, such as forming the Changtian Club and filling Qiu Changtian with various beautiful qualities.
On the other hand, she felt repelled and afraid of "really getting involved in feelings". Whether it was Elder Shi Ding or other senior brothers and sisters, whenever she was asked similar questions, she would always change the subject and avoid answering.
Elder Shi Ding even asked her if she liked Kunlun's Qiu Changtian, but Miss Shi directly denied it.
As a bystander, Luo Yan actually saw it very clearly:
What Ms. Shi likes now is an ideal man that she uses her developed imagination to describe, which is an ideal man that does not exist at all.
This is the "Mary Sue view of mate selection" that many girls have in childhood.
Because she doesn’t understand or even fear feelings, she creates an ideal opposite sex, and then tries her best to stack all kinds of positive buffs on the other person to relieve her own worries and anxieties... It can only be said that Miss Shi has no personality at all.
Although her development is sound, it is not suitable to arrange a blind date for her.
Naturally, these words were not appropriate to say to Elder Shi Ding, so Luo Yan could only remind him tactfully:
"The reason why senior sister is so sensitive in this regard may be because she is not mentally prepared yet. Master can be more patient with her."
"Well, of course I know." Elder Shi Ding stroked his beard and looked at his disciple with a kind look, "Luo Yan."
"The disciple is here."
"Actually, if I let you choose," Elder Shi Ding said meaningfully, "I would still like someone with a trustworthy character, who can tolerate her little temper, and who can also take good care of her younger descendants in the future to be Liuli's future successor.
Taoist couple."
You might as well report your disciple's sect number directly. Luo Yan secretly cursed in his heart, lowered his head and said:
"Indeed, but it depends on what Senior Sister Liuli wants."
"Of course." Elder Shi Ding said leisurely, "but now she only has the marrow-washing level and her realm is low, so she has to stay in Tiangongfang."
"When she transforms into a palace and forms a pill, I won't be able to keep her in Guanzhong anymore. At that time, she will go out and travel around the world, and she will get to know all kinds of monks, and she may even encounter bad people among them...
…”
"Luo Yan, although you are pure and honest, you are not stupid. You should be able to understand what it means to be a teacher."
After a moment of silence, Luo Yan put on a suitable and thoughtful expression, lowered his head and said:
"Disciple understands."
Master asked me to seize the time and win Miss Shi's heart as soon as possible before she formed the elixir. How could I not understand?
However, the current Miss Shi's mental age in this regard is not yet an adult at all... Doesn't this count as copper smelting?
