In the lobby on the first floor of Taiyi Pavilion, Lu Yangyu appeared in front of Jiang Beiran with a very inconsistent image.
"What are you dressed like...?" Jiang Beiran looked at Lu Yangyu and asked.
"Be brave." Lu Yangyu waved his Zen staff after saying, "Let's go."
Looking at the Bagua array painted on the back of Lu Yangyu's Taoist uniform, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but find it a little funny. At the same time, he was also curious about how terrifying the ghost cultivator's residence was to scare Lu Yangyu like this.
After getting on the shuttle that Lu Yangyu had prepared in advance, the two of them flew towards the outside of Shi's residence.
The moment he left Shi Mansion, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized that except for the time on Jinding Island, this was the first time he had gone out since arriving at Shi Mansion, and he had been "at home" for a long time.
However, as soon as he finished sighing, three system options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.
[Option 2: Head east. Completion reward: Dayi Alchemy Book (Xuan level top grade)]
[Option 3: Head south, completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
Seeing the familiar options, Jiang Beiran relaxed a little and his vigilance suddenly became full.
The main reason why he relaxed a little was because he felt a little comfortable staying in the Shi family during this period. As long as he didn't take the initiative to go to a place like Xuanfang, where everyone was mixed, there would basically be no options.
Firstly, it's because he doesn't go to crowded places, and secondly, Shi Hongyun is protecting him, so it's quite difficult to touch him in the Shi family.
But when he ran out, Tongguo was not in the hands of the Shi family. If he really offended some important sect figure inexplicably, Shi Hongyun just pretended not to know him without telling him. There was no way he could sacrifice the family's interests to save him.
So when you should be low-key, you still have to be low-key.
After determining the course of action, Jiang Beiran stopped Lu Yangyu and said, "Tell me where you want to go, and I will take the lead."
"Huh?" Lu Yangyu was a little confused, "Are you still worried that I will lead you the wrong way? Don't worry, I can't make a mistake."
"No, it's just that I sensed danger nearby, so I'd better lead the way."
"Danger?" Lu Yangyu looked around, but saw nothing, "It's because you are too worried..."
"Listen to me."
Seeing Jiang Beiran's serious look, Lu Yangyu had no choice but to compromise, draw the place he wanted to go on a map and tell Jiang Beiran.
After determining the location, Jiang Beiran chose three and flew towards the south.
Looking at the direction in which Jiang Beiran was going, Lu Yangyu shouted loudly, he really didn't expect that this omniscient master would still get lost.
"No objection, just follow me and fly."
Seeing that Jiang Beiran had no intention of stopping, Lu Yangyu could only shake his head and sighed in a low voice.
"This Master Jiang is really... so different even when he's on the road."
…
Four hours later, as the sun was approaching sunset, Lu Yangyu stepped forward and said to Jiang Beiran, "Beiran, if we continue to go around like this, we may not be able to arrive tomorrow."
In the original plan, Lu Yangyu thought that he would arrive at noon, but who knew that Jiang Beiran's route did not follow the regulations at all, even if it was a circle, he would go around once to the left and once to the right, which really confused him.
.
Looking at the sky, Jiang Beiran looked at Lu Yangyu and said, "Master Lu, please inform the ghost cultivator that we can't go today."
"What?"
This answer caught Lu Yangyu off guard. Why not go now?
"Bei Ran...that ghost cultivator rarely sees people on weekdays. It's not easy to make an appointment with her. If we miss the appointment, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter, if you can't see it, then you won't see it. As for this favor, I will use other ways to compensate the owner."
"Hey, my friend, what do you say about compensation or not? It's just..." Lu Yangyu thought for a while, but still didn't ask Jiang Beiran what he wanted to do. After all, he knew he wouldn't get an answer if he asked.
"Okay, then I will write a letter to inform her now."
"Sorry for the trouble, Master." After saying this, Jiang Beiran fell to the ground and started to set up camp.
The reason why he said he would not be able to find the master until tomorrow was that the number of system prompts had almost reached the upper limit, and in such a dangerous suburb, it would be difficult for Jiang Beiran to move forward without system prompts.
"Go ahead."
After releasing a grosbeak bird into the air, Lu Yangyu walked back and sat down next to Jiang Beiran who was already lighting a fire.
"I'm so excited to set up camp and set up a fire in this wilderness, facing the wind from the woods, smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants. It's wonderful, wonderful. If I could have a sip of hot wine at this time, it would be the ultimate happiness in the world."
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after hearing this, set up the iron pot and put a pot of wine in it.
"I believe this pot of bone-changing mash will satisfy the Palace Master."
"Hahaha, what a good name! It sounds very strong! Did you brew it yourself, Brother Beiran?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded and took out some meat and bamboo sticks from the Qiankun Ring.
Lu Yangyu, smelling the aroma of meat, asked, "What are brothers Beiran going to do?"
"Make some kebabs to eat."
"Grilled... skewers? Is this also a kind of food?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded and took some vegetables from the Qiankun Ring.
Seeing Lu Yangyu facing him, looking like he was watching him skewering meat, Jiang Beiran didn't bother to complain about "are you blind?", but continued to skewer meat on his own.
After a while, Jiang Beiran, who had finished skewering the meat, took out the bone-changing mash from the hot pot and took out two small cups from the Qiankun Ring.
"I'll pour it, I'll pour it."
Lu Yangyu, who had already been lured out of his greedy state, took the wine glass and flask attentively, poured a glass for Jiang Beiran first, and then filled it for himself.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother Beiran. Let me give you a toast first."
"Master Lu, you're welcome." Jiang Beiran picked up another wine glass and raised it in front of Lu Yangyu.
"Ding" After clinking Jiang Beiran's wine glasses, Lu Yangyu raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Hahahaha! Bliss on earth! It is indeed bliss on earth!"
After taking this sip, Lu Yangyu completely understood that what he drank before was really just horse urine, and it was nothing compared with this bone-changing mash.
While laughing wildly, Lu Yangyu filled up another glass for himself, shaking his head and saying "bliss on earth" while drinking another glass.
At this time, Jiang Beiran, who had already set up the grill, put five skewers of good beef on it. Listening to the "sizzling" sound on the grill, Jiang Beiran could clearly feel that he was secreting saliva quickly.
"What a great wine! Bei Ran, come here! I'll toast you with another drink."
Just like this, one cup after another, the pot of bone-changing mash was quickly finished by the two of them. Of course, most of it went into Lu Yangyu's stomach.
Seeing Jiang Beiran take out an identical wine flask from the Qiankun Ring, Lu Yangyu suddenly became happy.
"It's still Beiran who knows how to love others and how hungry I am."
Putting the wine pot into the pot, Jiang Beiran picked up a bunch of freshly cooked beef and handed it to Lu Yangyu.
"Taste it."
Although Lu Yangyu had never eaten this kind of skewers, the aroma that erupted when Jiang Beiran sprinkled the spicy powder just now had already brought out another glutton in him.
"Then I won't be polite."
After speaking, Lu Yangyu took the beef skewer and took a bite.
"Ouch!" Lu Yangyu shouted, put the kebab in front of his nose and smelled it again and again, as if it was hard to believe that such delicious food existed in the world.
After finishing the remaining skewers in one go, Lu Yangyu chewed the beef and said, "Bei Ran, what is there in this world that you don't know?"
"That's too much." He picked up the bone-changing mash that had been boiled for a while from the pot, poured a cup for Lu Yangyu and said, "It will have a different flavor if you drink it this way."
After listening to this, Lu Yangyu didn't bother to chat. He didn't even find a reason to clink glasses, and just drank his own glass.
"It really has a different flavor! Bliss, bliss!"
In this way, the two of them drank and talked until it was completely dark. They glanced at Lu Yangyu, who was already shaking a little, and Jiang Beiran, who was eating skewers, suddenly asked, "How many years has Mr. Lu been in the Shi family?"
Although Jiang Beiran and Lu Yangyu have known each other for a long time, they actually know very little about each other. They are only in this situation because they have similar temperaments.
This time while he was drunk, Jiang Beiran planned to deepen his friendship with Lu Yangyu, because after much thought, if he wanted to plant an "informant" in Linglongfang, Lu Yangyu would definitely be the best candidate at the moment.
Once he succeeds, he will have another helper in the Shi family in the future.
Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Lu Yangyu thought for a moment and replied: "It has been eight years. My master sent me here at that time. He told me that the trees are big and good for shade. If I can settle down in the Shi family, I will be able to live in Tong in the future."
I feel more confident when I walk in the country.”
"Then Master Lu's goal should have been achieved."
"It's alright. I'm not very tough. Even though I've met many masters and friends through the Shi family, it's not a loss."
"Does Master Lu plan to stay in the Shi family forever, or has he thought about finding another way out?"
"Huh?" Hearing something in Jiang Beiran's words, Lu Yangyu raised his head and looked at him and said, "Could it be that Brother Beiran wants to introduce me to some good places?"
"No." Jiang Beiran raised his glass as he spoke, "It's just chatting. If Master Lu doesn't feel comfortable with me, you don't have to say anything."
"That's not true. I don't have many close friends in the Shi family. You Bei Ran is definitely one of them. There's nothing to worry about. It's just that I haven't thought much about the future."
"Right now, all I can think about is how to pass the eighth-level formation examination. When I become an eighth-level formation master, it won't be too late to talk about the future."
"Oh? Master Lu is somewhat sure now."
"Absolutely 50%. It's really difficult to become an eighth-level formation mage. I failed a few years ago and I couldn't do anything about the questions they asked."
Jiang Beiran nodded silently after hearing this. As long as Lu Yangyu has a dream, that's fine. After all, his favorite thing to do is to be a dream mentor.
'Although I'm a little old, it's quite touching to accept an eighth-grade formation mage as my younger brother.'
After finishing the last bit of skewers, Jiang Beiran said good night to Lu Yangyu and went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, the two of them got on the shuttle again and flew towards the coordinate point drawn by Lu Yangyu.
Not sure if today was a special day, Jiang Beiran arrived at the valley Lu Yangyu mentioned after only encountering three system prompts.
"Is this here?" Jiang Beiran stood outside the valley and looked at Lu Yangyu and asked.
Lu Yangyu was completely confused at the moment. He was already ready to continue taking a detour, but this time he arrived at the place in one go, and for a while he was a little confused.
"Yes, that's it." Lu Yangyu nodded.
After confirming the destination, Jiang Beiran looked around and said, "Well, Jieyin Formation... It seems that this ghost cultivator is also a master of formations."
"Master, you really have good eyesight." Lu Yangyu couldn't help but cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran, "The Yin Formation set up here is indeed the Yin Formation. It is because of this formation that I got to know this ghost cultivator."
"Oh?" Jiang Beiran glanced at Lu Yangyu in surprise. "Did you help set up this array?"
"No." Lu Yangyu shook his head, "I just helped from the side, she mainly relied on herself."
Hearing that the other party needed help in setting up the Jieyin Formation, Jiang Beiran had a preliminary understanding of the formation level of this ghost cultivator. He was probably at the seventh level like Lu Yangyu. He said it was high or low.
Not low.
It's just that this Yin Formation is a bit special and requires an extremely Yin body to set it up.
Lu Yangyu is obviously not the one, so the one with the extremely yin body must be the ghost cultivator.
The extremely yin body is also a special physique. People with this physique will be particularly strong in metaphysical attacks, making many practitioners who are not so strong in metaphysical attacks fear them like tigers.
'Ghost cultivators, formation masters of rank seven or above, have special physiques.'
Before they met, Jiang Beiran had already discovered three tags on this ghost cultivator who had never been masked before, and they were all quite rare tags.
'Talent...'
While Jiang Beiran was feeling emotional, Lu Yangyu swallowed his saliva, waved his Zen staff and said, "Let's go."
The effect of the Yin Formation is to significantly reduce the practitioner's metaphysical defense. It can be said to be the best partner for the extremely yin body.
If a cultivator of the same realm were to fight against a body of extreme yin in the Yin Formation, ninety-nine percent of the time he would lose.
Seeing how Lu Yangyu couldn't stop trembling after entering the battle, Jiang Beiran felt that if he went up and slapped him from behind now, he would be so scared that he would jump three feet high.
After observing the surroundings again, Jiang Beiran stepped into the Yin Formation.
'hiss……'
Jiang Beiran, who felt his whole body trembling, took a breath of cold air. Although he had long heard about the power of the Jie Yin Formation, he did not expect it to be so powerful. Even with his mental strength, he could not completely withstand the formation.
the effect of the law.
Looking at the goosebumps on his hands, Jiang Beiran rubbed them a little and became more interested in this mysterious ghost cultivator.
"Hehehe, that idiot is here again, let's go play with him."
"Okay, okay. Look at him like that, how dare he come here even if he's afraid of being like this."
"Isn't this bad...the master told us not to scare us..."
"Come or not is up to you! Coward!"
…
Just as Jiang Beiran was observing the surrounding terrain and walking in, three ghosts suddenly floated above his head, happily discussing how to scare Lu Yangyu to death.
