"Master, just accept me, I will definitely abide by the rules." Seeing that the master was willing to say a few more words to him, Shi Yutong stepped up his attack and said
Before Jiang Beiran could answer, the system options popped up.
[Option 1: "I said I won't accept disciples." Completion reward: Yanlin Demon Spectrum (earth-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Take out a turtle shell and tell Shi Yutong that one day he can use this to figure out where he is, and that day he will accept her as his apprentice. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'This routine is a bit familiar.'
This is as fundamental as the five golden flowers who decided to become the first disciple of Guixin Sect back then...well, it is an almost impossible task. Let them focus on how to become stronger, so they will not always be able to do it.
Some trouble came to find him.
In other words, blindly rejecting Shi Yutong will only make her more excited and think of more ways to become her disciple.
Simply setting an impossible goal for her would kill her in disguise.
'High!'
Choice two, Jiang Beiran took out a turtle shell from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Shi Yutong and said, "Since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance. Do you know what this is?"
Hearing that the master finally relaxed, Shi Yutong said happily: "I know, turtle shell divination."
"Foretelling is a skill that requires a lot of talent. If you don't have this talent, it will be meaningless to become my disciple. So if you want to become my disciple, you must first pass my test."
The thing Shi Yutong is least afraid of in this life is tests, so he responded without thinking: "I wonder what kind of test Master is going to give me?"
Showing the back of the turtle shell to Shi Yutong, Jiang Beiran asked: "Do you know why turtle shells are used for divination?"
Shi Yutong obviously taught himself fortune telling, so he answered confidently: "There are three grids in the middle of the turtle pattern, which represent the three talents of heaven, earth, and man. There are twenty-four grids next to them, which represent the twenty-four solar terms. Finally,
There are twelve grids at the bottom, representing the twelve earthly branches."
Then Shi Yutong stretched out three fingers and continued: "The sum of all the characteristics corresponds to the three talents of the Bagua and the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Master, am I right?"
"Yes, this is turtle shell divination." Jiang Beiran said, shaking the turtle shell in his hand and motioning for Shi Yutong to take it.
When Shi Yutong took the turtle shell, Jiang Beiran said, "The test I give you is that one day you can use this turtle shell to figure out where I am, I will accept you as my disciple."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Charm +1]
'Ah fuck! He's so handsome! This is it!'
Jiang Beiran felt so bad when he saw that his charm increased sharply. Seeing that this brand new attribute point was "catching up" with the first four basic attributes, Jiang Beiran felt his liver tremble.
If it continues to grow like this, God knows what kind of monsters and ghosts it will attract in the future.
After flipping the turtle shell over and over, Shi Yutong looked up at Jiang Beiran and said, "Okay, I will definitely complete this test."
Jiang Beiran was a little surprised by Shi Yutong's reaction. He had thought that Shi Yutong would let him teach him how to use turtle shells for divination first, but she had no intention of asking.
I don't know if she has already mastered turtle shell divination, or if she regards this as part of the test.
But no matter which point it was, Shi Yutong met Jiang Beiran's first requirement of taking the initiative to recruit disciples.
Self-sufficient.
Regarding the tasks given by Master, there are only four words: "Guaranteed to be completed."
As for the difficult parts of the task, you have to figure out how to solve them yourself.
This is a perfect subordinate.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to that day coming." After Jiang Beiran said that, he bypassed Shi Yutong and continued walking forward.
Watching the master's leaving figure, Shi Yutong shook the turtle shell in his hand and smiled slightly as he listened to the muffled sound of the coins inside.
'An expert is an expert, and the tests given are all so unique, I really like them!'
…
Jiang Beiran, who said goodbye to Shi Yutong, first went to the gate of Shengxian Mansion to pick up Liu Weining, who was staying here, and then took her back to Linglongfang. Now that the main purpose was accomplished, the remaining time can be spent reminiscing about the past.
Arriving at Taiyi Pavilion, Jiang Beiran said to Liu Weining: "Just stay on the first floor and play by yourself."
Liu Weining, who was rubbing her head against Yu, nodded and said: "Okay, okay."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran went straight to the second floor and saw Lu Yangyu who was sitting cross-legged on the Grand Master's chair to relax.
Jiang Beiran was not polite and sat directly on the chair next to Lu Yangyu and said, "I wonder what Director Lu is thinking about?"
Lu Yangyu smiled slightly after hearing this and replied: "I'm thinking that young girls nowadays are really kind-hearted."
"..."
Of course Jiang Beiran knew that Lu Yangyu was talking about the pair of maids who supported him on the left and right in the morning, but when he thought that such a small thing made Lu Yangyu think about it now, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh.
'Lao Sepi's happiness is so simple.'
He took out a jar of jade pot spring from the Qiankun Ring and placed it on the table. Jiang Beiran opened the wine seal and said, "It was just taken out from the cellar, want to try it?"
The moment he smelled the smell of alcohol, Lu Yangyu lost his composure. He put down his feet, leaned forward and said, "My brother still understands me. I've been so hungry these days."
"Didn't I teach you the method of distillation? Why, you still can't make strong liquor?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Lu Yangyu waved his hand, "It's strong, but the taste is far from your brother's wine. However, Lao Fu is working hard on research during this period, and he should be able to brew a good wine in a while.
Yes, of course, it’s definitely not comparable to yours, brother.”
Listening to Lu Yangyu's continuous flattery, Jiang Beiran took out a wine bowl and poured some for him and said, "I left some good wine for you before I left last time. Did you drink it all?"
"That wine is not enough for me to drink alone. Lao Fu would come here to drink some from time to time, but it has long been gone." Lu Yangyu said, picking up the wine bowl, taking a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Wow, this smells great!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
"Ha~" He let out a sigh of satisfaction, and Lu Yangyu leaned back in his chair with a comfortable expression, as if he was reminiscing.
When Jiang Beiran poured him a second cup, Lu Yangyu suddenly said: "Brother, I have nothing to repay for thinking about me so much. Didn't you ask about Gu Xianweng before? So I asked you carefully.
I heard a few days ago that Gu Xianweng seems to be going to the Wei Kingdom. If you still want to find him, you can try your luck."
Jiang Beiran's hand holding the wine jar paused after hearing this. He came to Shi's house this time with the intention of asking more about Gu Liangren, but this kind of mysterious big shot that everyone wants to find but can't find, he
It's not easy to ask casually.
So I kept it on hold. Now that I heard that Lu Yangyu helped me get the news, I couldn't help but said happily: "Thank you so much, Director Lu. I am indeed still looking for that Gu Liangren."
Picking up the wine bowl and taking a sip, Jiang Beiran continued to ask: "I wonder if there is any more specific news besides knowing that he is going to Weiguo?"
"That must be true, otherwise I wouldn't be fooling you, brother." Lu Yangyu finished speaking, took a sip of wine, and continued: "My senior brother told me this news. He is now the protector of the Senluo Sect in the Wei Kingdom. He and
I said that their sect master seems to have invited Gu Xianweng to go to them, but the information is not necessarily accurate."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening, thoughtfully.
"If you really want to find it, I will tell my senior brother and he will help you." He picked up the wine jar and poured himself another bowl. Lu Yangyu said again: "I wanted to inform you with more specific information.
Yes, but you happen to be here right now, so I will tell you first."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran put down his wine bowl and said, "Okay, then Director Lu, please help me introduce your senior brother."
Anyway, he just wanted to try his luck. If he did, Jiang Beiran did have a lot of things he wanted to ask him. But if he didn't, it meant that the fate hadn't come yet and he wouldn't force it.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran was determined to find Gu Xianweng, Lu Yangyu slapped his thigh and said: "No problem, I will write a letter to my senior brother now."
"Thank you."
"Why are you so polite to me, brother, you should." After Lu Yangyu said that, he walked to the study.
After a while, Lu Yangyu walked out of the study again and said to Jiang Beiran: "The letter has been sent out. I will tell you as soon as my senior brother replies."
"become."
He sat down again and picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Jiang Beiran. Lu Yangyu suddenly remembered something and said, "Old Shen hasn't been here for a while. Are you still busy with the remaining pages?"
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded, "I found someone and I'm looking for him with him."
"Let me tell you, if he was looking for it on his own, he would definitely come to me for help every now and then."
Listening to Lu Yangyu's words, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think that Xiao Qi didn't know how he handled this matter, but the fact that he hadn't written a letter asking for help yet meant that it went quite smoothly.
Otherwise, Xiaoqi will definitely focus on completing the task instead of struggling to survive.
After the two jars of wine were finished, Lu Yangyu suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go in and see if senior brother has replied."
Jiang Beiran raised his wine bowl to indicate that he understood.
After a while, Lu Yangyu came out again and said: "It seems that senior brother is not in retreat today, and the reply has already arrived."
Sitting back on the Grand Master's chair, Lu Yangyu took out a ruler and handed it to Jiang Beiran and said, "This ruler is the token that my senior brother and I agreed upon. Just take it."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran took the ruler over.
"As for the specific location, I will get a map to mark it for you later, but as long as you go to the Wei Kingdom, it will be easy to find the Senluo Sect. It is the top sect in the Wei Kingdom, and there are two Xuan Sects.
The Holy Spirit sits in it."
Jiang Beiran couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "This Gu Xianweng really only deals with big shots."
"No, ordinary people can't invite him." After speaking, Lu Yangyu went back to find a map, drew a circle on it and handed it to Jiang Beiran, saying: "This is the location of Senluo Sect. You just need to take it
The ruler will stay at the foot of the mountain, and my senior brother will find you."
"Okay." Jiang Beiran took the map and looked at it, and he probably had an idea in his mind.
"It's not too late. My senior brother doesn't know when exactly this Gu Xianweng will come. Why don't you go over and wait now."
Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and there was really nothing urgent to do right now, so he put a Qiankun Ring on the table and said, "Okay, then I'll have a drink with the curator when I get back."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
When Jiang Beiran turned around and went downstairs, Lu Yangyu picked up the Qiankun Ring he placed on the table and looked inside. The smile on his face suddenly brightened.
Arriving on the first floor, Jiang Beiran said to Liu Weining, who had an empty expression: "Give me back the jade, I have to go."
Liu Weining woke up as if from a dream, with a disappointed look on her face, she took out five more green neon jade statues and said, 'Is it true that they can't be replaced?'
"I said, when you can find this kind of jade yourself, I will exchange it with you."
"Okay." Nodding, Liu Weining returned the Hongjun jade to Jiang Beiran with a look of reluctance.
After getting back the Honghu Jade, Jiang Beiran left Linglongfang and returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
Shi Fenglan, who was playing Legend of the Black Dragon with Xia Lingdang in the house, saw Jiang Beiran coming back and said, "Xiao Beiran, you are back."
"Well, pack up, we are going to visit the Wei Kingdom."
"Wei country?" Shi Fenglan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately cheered: "That's great, that's great, I've never been there before."
At this time, Xia Lingdang raised her head and said, "Then shall we continue playing?"
"Of course..." Halfway through her words, Shi Fenglan looked in the direction of Xiao Beiran and asked, "Can you finish this game before leaving?"
"Okay." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Okay."
With a cheer, Shi Fenglan knocked out a small fish in her hand, and used character skills to trick the two characters on Xia Lingdang's field into internal strife and killing each other.
"I will add another formation card to end the round."
After putting down the card, Shi Fenglan turned back and shouted to Xiao Beiran: "Originally, I wanted to play with Mo Moer today, but she seems to be very busy recently and has been away from home."
"She will be busier and busier in the future."
"Why?"
"As I said last time, she is now the leader of the younger generation of your Shi family. Naturally, she has a lot to do."
"It's so troublesome to be a leader." Shi Fenglan sighed, turned around and looked at the card game again.
Xia Lingdang looked at the cards in her hand first, and then said: "I will use my Qiao Feng to attack your little fish."
Facing Qiao Feng, whose attack power and HP were higher than her own, Shi Fenglan did not panic and proudly opened the formation card on the table.
"I activate the maze, and none of your characters can attack me this round."
"Okay." Xia Lingdang nodded and began to study which card to play this round.
Instead of standing aside and continuing to watch the battle, Jiang Beiran walked out of the room and looked at the flowers on the hillside outside, checking whether they were sick.
Not long after, a smiling Shi Fenglan opened the door and walked out, ran to Jiang Beiran and said: "Xiao Beiran, I win~"
"Congratulations."
"Hehe" smiled, Shi Fenglan squatted next to Jiang Beiran and looked at the flowers on the ground and said: "Xiao Beiran, it seems that since you came, they have bloomed more beautifully. Sometimes I don't want to pick them."
"Then don't pick it off."
"It's not enough to just look at it."
‘…’
Without continuing, Jiang Beiran stood up and said, "Let's go back to Fei Mansion."
