Chapter 28 Knowing the map is a very important thing
At the time when the entire Luoxia Town was experiencing "undercurrents", Jiang Beiran and his party had gone far away and were now standing on a plain looking around.
"Eh... I obviously followed the map, but why is it wrong?" Liu Zijin took a map and looked left and right, but he couldn't find the correct route.
"Let me try." Fang Qiuyao said and took the map over. Sometimes he looked at it from the front, sometimes from behind, and even looked sideways when he got anxious, but he just couldn't see the reason, with such a pretty face.
I was blushing from holding it back.
"Don't look at us...we can't understand this either."
Seeing Fang Qiuyao turning her eyes towards her, the three sisters of the Yu family raised their hands in unison.
Sighing helplessly, Fang Qiuyao looked at Senior Brother Jiang who was sitting on a big rock not far away, drinking water.
Shortly after leaving Luoxia Town in the morning, their senior brother told them that they had to walk the rest of the way on their own. After all, "recognizing the road by looking at pictures" is a necessary skill when going out. Otherwise, if they get lost in the deep mountains and old forests as soon as they go out, what can they hope for?
What are you doing?
At the beginning, Liu Zijin could barely recognize the route on the map, but after walking for two hours, she became increasingly confused about where she was on the map.
"How about... let's ask senior brother." Fang Qiuyao put down the map and looked at the other people and said.
The three Yu family sisters nodded and said separately.
"Agree."
"But who's going?"
"Senior brother will definitely be cruel to us."
In fact, they had asked Senior Brother Jiang several times on the way about the map. The first few times, Senior Brother would answer patiently, but every time they asked the same questions that they had asked before, Senior Brother would "teach" them, so they were confused.
Some didn't dare to speak.
Fang Qiuyao looked at Jiang Beiran, then looked at the map, and was about to grit her teeth and say, "I'll go."
Then Liu Zijin took the map in her hand and said, "Then I'll go."
"No, Sister Zijin, how can I let you get scolded by my senior brother every time?"
Liu Zijin shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter to me. Aren't we just going down the mountain to learn new things? It's nothing to be scolded a few times."
"But……"
"Stop talking, just wait for me here." After Liu Zijin finished speaking, he took the map and walked towards Jiang Beiran.
Looking at Liu Zijin's back, the three Yu family sisters were moved and said in unison: "Sister Zijin is such a good person."
With some expectations...oh no, a feeling of uneasiness, Liu Zijin came to Jiang Beiran, saluted and shouted: "Senior Brother Jiang."
"Can't you tell the way again?" Jiang Beiran stuffed the water hyacinth into the Qiankun Ring and looked at Liu Zijin and asked.
"Yes... it's really hard to identify a place without official channels."
"Didn't I teach you before to pay attention to the surrounding areas? Have you forgotten it again?"
On the Xuanlong Continent, where there is no navigation system, people naturally have their own ways of knowing the way. For example, every five miles they walk, they build a mound of earth, called a fortress.
Some trunk roads even have mooring officers who are responsible for managing and maintaining them.
Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Liu Zijin lowered his head and said, "It's Zijin who is stupid. Please punish him, senior brother."
'here we go again……'
Jiang Beiran didn't know if it was because Liu Zijin had such a strong personality that every time she couldn't answer the questions he asked during a conversation, he would ask himself to punish her.
'Am I so cruel to them?'
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran jumped off the boulder and took the map from Liu Zijin's hand.
However, the map distributed by this sect is indeed poorly drawn. On the premise of using mountains and rivers as the benchmark, the center of the map depicts Xihua City, the largest area in the jurisdiction, and the surrounding areas are drawn with various mountains and rivers within the jurisdiction.
The approximate location of the scenic spot, and finally fill in the names of each village and town on the corresponding mountain or riverside.
However, this mapping method sounds very clear, but in fact, the map looks like mountains are connected to mountains, and it is a mess.
Rolling up the map, Jiang Beiran said: "In fact, the fastest way to learn to read a map is to learn how to draw a map."
"Draw a map?" Liu Zijin asked doubtfully.
"Yes, when you understand how this map was drawn, you will naturally understand how to follow the drawing method above."
"I see, senior brother really has a solution." Liu Zijin's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Come, take this book and read it carefully. It should be helpful to you." Jiang Beiran said as he took out a "Drawing Book" from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Liu Zijin.
"Thank you, senior brother." Liu Zijin bowed to Jiang Beiran and took the "Drawing Book" with both hands and started reading.
Seeing Liu Zijin reading a book seriously, Jiang Beiran also began to think about the next arrangements.
The reason why Liu Zijin and the five of them are suddenly asked to be self-reliant is because as an Iron Seal, in addition to protecting the new disciples, it is also within the scope of Jiang Beiran's duties to teach them some common sense.
Especially if the law enforcement officer entrusts his most beloved disciples to him, if they find that they have learned nothing after returning to the sect, they will inevitably come to trouble him again.
So Jiang Beiran decided to train them in the most basic skill of knowing the way through pictures.
Half an hour later, Liu Zijin closed the book and said to Jiang Beiran: "Brother, I seem to understand something."
Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this: "Well, let's continue to find the way."
Facts have proved that Liu Zijin is indeed very smart. After understanding the secret of identifying the road, he quickly found the official path.
"The front should be Jifu Village." After passing a fork in the road, Liu Zijin pointed ahead and said.
"Wow! Sister Zijin, you are so awesome!" Fang Qiuyao couldn't help but clap her hands.
"My senior brother gave me a great book. Everything written in it is very easy to understand and is very helpful for knowing the way."
"Book? What book?" Fang Qiuyao asked.
"That's it." Liu Zijin showed "Drawings" to Fang Qiuyao.
"Let us have a look too." After hearing this, the three sisters of the Yu family came over curiously.
"Draw...picture...record." After reading the three big characters on the cover softly, Yu Guituo said, "I've written it down, and I'll buy a copy to read when I get back."
Liu Zijin smiled and said nothing after listening. Although she was not sure, she felt that this book should have been written by her senior brother himself, because the words between the lines were so different from those of others who could publish books, giving people a very casual feel.
Feel.
Putting away the "Drawing Book" again, Liu Zijin walked up to Jiang Beiran with other junior sisters and asked: "Senior brother, what should we do next?"
Jiang Beiran glanced at them and said, "Tell me what you think."
After thinking for a while, Fang Qiuyao answered first.
"We should first go to the village to find out how those children disappeared and find out the time and place first?"
Several other junior sisters also agreed after hearing this.
But Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, "What you are doing will only alert the enemy."
Looking at the five blank faces, Jiang Beiran explained: "When we received the mission, we knew that children were missing frequently in Jifu Village. This means that the criminals may still be committing crimes or even lurking in the village. You guys
Once you go to inquire, you will inevitably expose your identity as a disciple of the Guixin Sect. If the prisoner listens, he will naturally be more cautious and may even stop committing crimes."
Liu Zijin and others nodded after hearing this: "What senior brother said makes sense, but if we don't ask, how should we investigate?"
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly and replied: "There is no need to investigate, just wait quietly for their next crime."
