Chapter 459 Another trouble caused by fortune telling
After drinking for three rounds, when Yan Guangqing took another chopstick of steamed pork with rice flour and put it into his mouth to chew, he suddenly said: "Bei Ran, you are in the Six Kingdoms and you are so proficient in formations. You should have been to Jinding Island, right?
"
Hearing Yan Guangqing suddenly ask this, Jiang Beiran was a little surprised, so he stopped his chopsticks and replied: "Yes, I have indeed been there."
"Did you analyze anything?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I can't figure out what the formation of Jinding Island is attached to, let alone analyze it."
After hearing this, Yan Guangqing looked at Jiang Beiran for a moment, and finally laughed loudly and said: "You didn't even notice anything... Then it seems that it won't make much difference if I go."
When the topic reached this point, Jiang Beiran took advantage of the situation and asked, "Hasn't Sect Leader Yan ever been to Jinding Island?"
"Ha." With a cold snort, Yan Guangqing picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp: "After all, it is an island within the scope of the Six Kingdoms. Even if it cannot be broken open, it is not the turn of us small country lords to intervene."
When he said the word "small country", Yan Guangqing raised his voice in a particularly high pitch, and it could be heard that he was extremely dissatisfied.
However, Jiang Beiran did not expect that the structure of the Six Kingdoms was so small that he would even form a small circle. He would not bring in cultivators from outside the Six Kingdoms, no matter how strong or capable they were.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Yan Guangqing's status is relatively high, so he was left aside. If he had been replaced by a casual cultivator or a sect disciple, he would have been invited by the Six Nations, and then bribed a dragon to become the Six Nations.
A new member of the NUS family.
'But after all, the situation is still small.'
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of rice paper, spread it out on the table nearby and started drawing.
As a "confidant", after having some contact with Yan Guangqing, Jiang Beiran certainly knew how obsessed he was with battle tactics, so he completely understood why he suddenly mentioned Jinding Island.
Seeing Jiang Beiran suddenly put down his chopsticks and start painting, Yan Guangqing also stood up and walked to his side and started watching silently.
Yan Guangqing is still very interested in Jinding Island in the eyes of Jiang Beiran, because this is the Jinding Island in the eyes of Jiang Beiran, a master of formations. Otherwise, if it were another painter, even if the painting was lifelike, Yan Guangqing would still be dismissive.
Gu.
After a cup of tea, Yan Guangqing suddenly smiled and waved to Nie Yixin: "Madam, come and see."
Nie Yixin heard Hou Qianmoi approaching, stood beside her husband and looked at Jiang Beiran's painting.
"Master Jiang's painting skills are really amazing." Nie Yixin was a little surprised.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that this kid can actually draw well."
Originally, Yan Guangqing thought that Jiang Beiran would just draw a rough outline of the island, focusing on the details that only formation masters could see.
However, Jiang Beiran's painting skills truly amazed him. The painting of Jinding Island was so lifelike that it seemed as if it was really appearing in front of his eyes.
Definitely worthy of being called a contemporary master.
After finishing the painting of Jinding Island, Jiang Beiran put down his brush and said to Yan Guangqing: "Sect Master Yan, this is the whole picture of Jinding Island, can you find anything from it?"
"No." Yan Guangqing replied directly, "Originally I thought that the formation masters and disciples of the Six Kingdoms had a false reputation. With so many people in one place, they couldn't tell what formation was guarding Jinding Island. Now after reading your paintings Beiran,
Then I realized it wasn’t that those people were incompetent, but that this island was really weird.”
Then Jiang Beiran chatted with Yan Guangqing about what he saw and heard on Jinding Island. When he heard that a foreign race could change the rules of the formation through some method and send Xuanhuang Realm experts to the island, Yan Guangqing thought
I couldn't sit still.
Shameful, shameful!
If everyone couldn't see the special features of Jinding Island, Yan Guangqing could still accept that he didn't see anything, but when he thought that there was a foreigner who discovered part of the secrets of Jinding Island's formation before him,
He felt uncomfortable all over.
"Bei Ran, let's go! Let's go back to the tower and study Jinding Island carefully. I still don't believe in this evil!"
After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Beiran's reply, he directly grabbed the drawing paper and walked towards the direction of Shadow Moon Tower.
When Jiang Beiran saw this, he cupped his hands towards Nie Yixin and said, "Thank you madam for your hospitality. I will take my leave now."
After hearing this, Nie Yixin smiled, nodded, and said, "Go quickly."
Back at Shadow Moon Tower, Yan Guangqing started looking at the drawing paper without stopping.
As for Jiang Beiran, he is not as anxious as he is. After all, Jinding Island is now a warehouse for him. He can enter and exit freely without having to worry about it.
The reason why he showed the island painting to Yan Guangqing was just to sell him a favor. So many formation masters have been studying Jinding Island itself for so many years but they haven't found anything. How can he, Yan Guangqing, study it just by looking at the painting?
It's simply impossible.
The fact is just as Jiang Beiran imagined, Yan Guangqing's enthusiasm for cracking Jinding Island only lasted for half a day, and then he put the drawing paper aside.
There is no way, when no clues or conditions can be found at all, "this question" has no entry point at all, and it is just a waste of time no matter how you think about it.
I don't know if it was due to a slight shock, but after putting down the drawing paper, Yan Guangqing said to Jiang Beiran: "Would you like to go out and relax."
Jiang Beiran nodded and said "Okay."
When he came to the courtyard and saw the perfectly symmetrical buildings and scenery again, Jiang Beiran began to feel a little relieved inexplicably.
Walking among the small bridge and flowing water, Yan Guangqing suddenly said: "Bei Ran, when did you fall in love with the mysterious art of formation?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran replied without thinking: "When I personally lay out the first formation."
His words were true. When he saw the magic circle he had set up take effect for the first time, he still remembered the sense of accomplishment that he felt.
"Hahaha, heroes see the same thing, heroes see the same thing! I also fell in love with this mysterious art from the time I set up the first magic formation. Even now, I can make some progress every time in the formation.
For me, a breakthrough is still a good thing worth a night of drunkenness."
Speaking of this, Yan Guangqing suddenly sighed.
"I thought that when I could see the Jinding Island, I would be able to defeat all the heroes and crack the secret of the Jinding Island in one fell swoop, but now it seems...sigh."
Seeing Yan Guangqing sighing, Jiang Beiran didn't expect that the fact that he just wanted to sell a favor seemed to have hit him hard.
Seeing Jiang Beiran hesitate to speak, Yan Guangqing smiled and said: "Beiran, do you still remember how we met in the first place?"
"of course I remember."
After all, things like Xuanzun descending from heaven are not something you encounter every day, so how can you forget about it.
However, when thinking of the Xuanzun descending from heaven that day, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think of the demon fox. He wondered if it was hiding in a cave right now, practicing hard and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
"I remember it very clearly. In fact, the reason why I suddenly went to Shengguo that day was because of a hexagram master."
Hearing the word fortune teller, Jiang Beiran suddenly became interested. He had never found a chance to meet Na Guliang when he was in Tong State. Now he heard about a fortune teller, and he could make Yan Guangqing completely trust him.
Gua master.
He must be really capable.
"Gua Master?" Jiang Beiran asked curiously.
"Yes, a hexagram master." Yan Guangqing nodded, "Actually, since a long time ago, I have found that I have become more and more difficult to walk along the formation. The front is not only full of unknowns, but also full of thorns. I believe you must feel this way.
I’ve experienced it too.”
'This... really doesn't exist.'
Although Jiang Beiran has gone through many bottleneck periods, it was also a bottleneck period for various mysterious arts.
But he never panics when he encounters a bottleneck period. He just finds some other mysterious arts to practice first. When the mysterious art skills that are stuck in the bottleneck increase in the future, the bottleneck period will naturally be solved.
So in this regard, it's really hard for him to empathize.
Of course, these words must not be said, so Jiang Beiran nodded in agreement and said: "Indeed, this feeling is very uncomfortable."
"Yeah, it's very uncomfortable." Yan Guangqing sighed again, "So I went to find the divination master and did a fortune telling. Guess what I figured out."
"I'm sorry that I can't guess."
Yan Guangqing did not pursue the question, but answered directly: "I am thinking about how to continue to make breakthroughs in the formation, and then the day will come when I appear in front of you."
'I see...it's the fortune-telling that caused the trouble.'
Seeing Jiang Beiran paused, Yan Guangqing continued: "I originally thought that the hexagram pointed to Fucheng, and thought that maybe he who had the body of four images could help me when he grew up, but now it seems...
...It seems that you are the one who can help me take a further step in setting up the formation."
"How virtuous and capable is this junior? How can he be..."
Before Jiang Beiran could finish humiliating himself, Yan Guangqing waved his hand and said: "The reason why I tell you this is just because I hope you can understand how eager I am to make another breakthrough in the formation."
Jiang Beiran nodded secretly after hearing this.
As a qualified "old fox", it is a basic skill not to express one's true demands during negotiations.
Otherwise, it will become a matter of giving others authority.
What Yan Guangqing wants to express in this showdown is that we are no longer just a cooperative relationship that we have to sit down and negotiate, but a close friend relationship where we can confide in each other.
‘The speed at which this relationship improves…is really a bit fast.’
It has been slowly rising from [Neutral] at the beginning, and now I am afraid it has broken through [Friendly] and reached [Intimacy].
‘Maybe this is the so-called correct password...’
The Jinding Island incident probably brought quite a lot of excitement to Yan Guangqing. Although he knew that he had encountered a bottleneck in the formation in the past, he felt that he was not far from Dzogchen, so it was normal to spend more time.
But now he discovered that let alone Dzogchen, there were formations in this world that he couldn't understand at all. It was like he finally climbed to the top of the mountain, only to find that what he saw was not infinite scenery, but a higher one.
The mountain stood in front of him, and there were even aliens climbing up it.
This time he was really a little anxious.
He didn't want to stay on the unfinished hill in front of him, he wanted to challenge the higher mountain!
And he has now determined that Jiang Beiran is the key to helping him climb the hill in front of him.
Similarly, he also determined that Jiang Beiran was the person in Lin Po's hexagram who could help him continue to improve in the formation method.
Just when Jiang Beiran finished thinking about this and was about to speak, the system options suddenly popped up.
[Option 1: "Juniors also feel the same way." Completion reward: Fuying Mingdian (earth level top grade)]
[Option 2: "No, I think the master's hexagram refers to Fucheng." Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
Seeing these two options, Jiang Beiran immediately understood the meaning of the system, and directly chose the second one and answered.
"No, this junior believes that the master's hexagram refers to Fucheng."
Yan Guangqing was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect Jiang Beiran to give him such an answer.
Looking at Yan Guangqing's frowning eyebrows, Jiang Beiran continued: "Since Sect Leader Yan has confided in this junior, I will no longer hide anything. My thoughts are actually the same as yours, which is to use Fucheng's Four Symbols Body.
Take a step further on the path of formation."
Yan Guangqing laughed when he heard this, "Are you saying that my appearance disrupted your original plan?"
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran said: "The moment you appeared, I knew that Fucheng's opportunity had come."
Seeing that Yan Guangqing fell silent again, Jiang Beiran continued: "The further you go in practicing the First Formation, the more emphasis you place on talent. This junior believes that the same is true for the Formation Formation Formation. As long as Fu Cheng grows up, his Four Symbols Body will definitely give you enough strength.
surprise."
Yan Guangqing thought for a moment after hearing this, but then he laughed loudly and said: "At this point, it doesn't matter whether the hexagram refers to you or Fucheng. Why do I have to make a choice? Let's just accept it together."
Yes, hahahaha!"
[Optional task completed, reward: Luck +1]
Seeing the long-lost luck point appear, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt comfortable. Although he didn't know how much luck it would take to change his fate of being targeted by heaven all day long, but every time he added a little more, it would add something inexplicable.
a sense of peace of mind.
"Hahaha, what Sect Master Yan said is true." Jiang Beiran agreed with a smile.
As long as Yan Guangqing doesn't completely focus on him and forget about Li Fucheng, then his mission will be completed.
"Let's go back to the tower and continue to explore how to connect formations."
"Please!" Jiang Beiran made a gesture of invitation and said.
…
Three days later, Jiang Beiran looked at the nine-gate star layout on the deduction board and smiled.
After three days of repeated discussions, the two finally made some progress in connecting the formations.
In addition, the more he studied the method of connecting formations, the more Jiang Beiran became curious about who the master of formations who created Fei Mansion was. Originally, he didn't have much idea about the connection of formations. He only knew that he must be very powerful.
.
But as he became more and more familiar with the Xuanyi system of the Six Kingdoms and met several formation masters in succession, he gradually began to understand how powerful the formation master who could create the Fei Mansion was.
It would definitely be a very interesting thing if I could have a chat with him.
'Well, if you have a chance, let's ask someone from the Shi family.'
