After advancing for a day and night in Feifu, we finally entered the Wei Kingdom.
Looking out through the magic circle, I found that there are mountains everywhere, with overlapping high and low mountains, giving it the appearance of a mountainous country.
According to the direction drawn on the map, we came to a large county called Yanyang. After flying around for a while, we stopped above a small town.
When they first arrived, Jiang Bei Ran did not take Shi Fenglan and Qu Yangze with him when he went to Fei Mansion.
The former is too beautiful, the latter is inhuman, and both can easily bring disaster.
Although Shi Fenglan pouted and was a little reluctant, she still stayed in Fei Mansion obediently, waving her hand and shouting: "Xiao Beiran, you have to come back early."
Appearing in a deserted alley, Jiang Beiran said to Xia Lingdang behind him: "Go and ask if this is the town at the foot of Senluo Sect."
Although Jiang Beiran was already sure that this should be the destination when he was in the sky, it would be right to ask more clearly.
"Yes, Master."
With a promise, Xia Lingdang walked out of the alley. After a while, she turned back and reported to Jiangbei Ranhui: "Master, I asked a family, and the hostess of that family told me that this is Senluo Town." Then.
He turned around and pointed at the mountain behind him and said, "That mountain is the Senluo Sect."
"Okay." Nodding, Jiang Beiran asked Xia Lingdang to follow him, and then slowly walked out of the alley.
Generally speaking, small towns at the foot of Zongmen Mountain are always particularly prosperous, and Senluo Zong is no exception. Even Jiang Beiran felt that this place should not be called a town, but a city.
When viewed from top to bottom, the entire city is rectangular in plan. The city walls are made of rammed earth and are extremely thick visible to the naked eye, and are blessed by formations.
Both sides of the street are crowded with people, including teahouses, inns, cloth shops, pawnshops, etc. In addition to shops, vendors hawking along the street are also a "scenery" everywhere.
However, the vendors in Senluo Town are quite sophisticated. They sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rouge and gouache, and high-end jewelry. It can be seen that the people who often come here to buy things are either rich or expensive.
After all, the market is determined by customers. How can ordinary people afford these products?
In addition to these common scenery, there are also architectural beauty such as various archways, shadow puppet theaters, and bell towers, which can be said to be quite tall.
…
Although I gained a lot of knowledge following Jiangbei and then Xia Lingdang, when I saw such a prosperous town, I still couldn't help but look around, my face full of joy of discovering new things.
According to what Lu Yangyu said, as long as he holds the ruler, his senior brother will come to him on his own.
So Jiang Beiran, who had already triggered the option twice as soon as he came out of the alley, stopped wandering around and found a teahouse with fewer people to sit down.
After ordering a pot of tea and some refreshments, Jiang Beiran would smile knowingly from time to time while listening to the unique bragging and spanking sounds in the surrounding teahouses.
Without him, these people are really awesome.
It has to be said that eating in a good place will also get better. Jiang Beiran originally didn’t have high expectations for the flower cake as tea, but found that it was unexpectedly delicious and took note of the taste. Jiang Beiran planned to eat it when he went back.
Do something.
'If it were replaced with golden cinnamon, the sweetness would be more obvious.'
Just when Jiang Beiran was thinking about what flowers to use for stuffing, a figure that made the whole teahouse fall into silence suddenly walked towards his table.
This figure is about two meters tall, with a naked and extremely muscular upper body. If it were just that, it would not cause the entire teahouse to become silent. The most important thing is that such a strong body is carrying a heart.
It has entered the ancient brain.
The old face is covered with white beard and cheeks, and the two white eyebrows are thick and long, just like the long-browed Arhat in the temple, falling down from both sides.
In addition to his image, there is another place that is full of contradictions about the old man, that is, he is holding an orange cat in his arms. The orange cat is not afraid of animals, and just lies quietly in the old man's arms, motionless.
Noisy.
However, the tea guests were just stunned for a moment, and then continued to chat among themselves. After all, this is the foothold of Senluo Sect, and there are many strange people and strangers here, and these strange people and strangers are usually their fault.
Not worth it.
Under Jiang Beiran's inquiring eyes, the old man sat down opposite him.
Smiling at Jiang Beiran, the old man flexed his right index finger and said: "Blessings will be born, the Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Jiang Beiran was a little confused. He originally thought that the old man who looked like he could kill ten cows was the senior brother Lu Yangyu mentioned, but now it seems that he is not.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's surprised eyes, the old man spoke again: "Are you looking for me, little friend?"
This question made Jiang Beiran even more confused, so he raised his hands and asked, "I don't know who you are?"
The old man smiled slightly, dipped his index finger in some tea, and wrote the word "Valley" on the table.
‘…’
‘Gu…Gu Liangren!?’
Jiang Beiran almost screamed in his heart. He thought about many scenes of meeting Gu Liangren, and also imagined various images of Gu Liangren, but none of them matched up with this moment.
‘This Muscle God is actually from Gu Liangren!?’
In Jiang Beiran's imagination, Gu Liangren should have the appearance of a master, making people feel fairy-like at first sight.
But there is nothing magical about the man in front of me. I just feel that he wants to find someone to van with.
In addition, Jiang Beiran never expected to meet Gu Liangren like this, or in other words, he never thought that he would be able to meet Gu Liangren during this trip to the Wei Kingdom. He was just doing his best to come to the Six Kingdoms that he had not yet visited.
Just take a look.
But I didn't expect that this meeting would come so suddenly.
'But just because there is only one Gu, it doesn't mean that it is Gu Liangren.'
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Beiran calmed down his extremely shocked mood and saluted, "Junior, I pay my respects to the Taoist Priest."
After erasing the word [Valley] on the table, the old man spoke again: "If my little friend is really looking for me, then come with me."
After saying that, the old man got up and walked towards the outside of the teahouse.
'Damn... I feel like the Riddler again.'
It's just that the teahouse was full of people talking, and it was indeed not a place to talk about serious business. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran got up and followed.
Following the old man all the way to the outside of the town, Jiang Beiran took the initiative and said, "Senior, is he Gu Xianweng?"
"I dare not call you an immortal. If you are looking for someone from Guliang, it would be me."
Although he knew that the old man in front of him was most likely from Gu Liang, Jiang Beiran was still a little unbelievable when he heard him say that he was from Gu Liang.
After all, it all happened too suddenly.
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Beiran asked: "I don't know how you knew it was the junior who was looking for you?"
"As shown in the hexagram, there is wind in the world, and it is time for me to meet you."
"The Taoist Priest had known that this junior was looking for you?"
"Not early, but not late either."
'Okay, there's an internal smell.'
It was rare to meet someone who was more like a magician than himself. Jiang Beiran was really uncomfortable with it. After thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "So senior has already calculated that I will come to you?"
"No." Gu Liangren shook his head, then took out a broken turtle shell from his arms and handed it to Jiang Beiran, "This is the result when I want to trick you."
'What the hell!? Am I a tough-minded person or a stubborn person?'
Thinking that the turtle shell was shattered because he counted himself, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but look at the sky, wondering what the meaning of this operation was.
"How did the Taoist priest know..."
Putting away the turtle shell, Gu Liangren replied: "Because I am not counting you, but myself."
Listening to Gu Liangren's "lofty words", Jiang Beiran didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, and went straight to the topic: "Then the Taoist leader took the initiative to come to me, is there any reason?"
Gu Liangren shook his head, "It was you who found me, not me who found you."
'I...I have to talk like this, right? Okay, I can do it too!'
So Jiang Beiran also smiled slightly and said: "It is fate. Since the Taoist Master has come here, he must already know why I am here."
After hearing this, Gu Liangren suddenly shook his chest muscles and said with a smile: "The secret must not be leaked."
'stable!'
Jiang Beiran, who felt that the conversation could no longer continue, simply remained silent, preparing to wait for Gu Liangren to speak first.
"Meow."
At this time, the orange cat in Gu Liangren's arms suddenly meowed. After hearing this, Gu Liangren touched its head and said, "I don't know my little friend's name yet."
‘…’
Jiang Beiran was quite surprised to hear that Gu Liangren didn't even know who he was, but looking at the broken turtle shell from before, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with him.
'But it's strange for an old bastard to say so honestly that he doesn't know.'
Putting away the doubts in his heart, Jiang Beiran replied: "This junior's surname is Jiang and his first name is Beiran."
"Jiang... Beiran." Gu Liangren's eyes widened after hearing this, and even all the muscles in his body trembled, "So you are the destined person I calculated in the Shi family, hahahaha, it turns out to be you, it turns out you are
you!"
‘Destined person?’
Jiang Beiran felt a little goosebumps when he heard this title, and when Gu Liangren laughed after that, Jiang Beiran felt even more uncomfortable.
"I wonder what Changkou means by the destiny person...?"
"Those who can resolve other people's karma are destined to be human beings."
"Resolving other people's karma? What the Taoist priest is referring to...is it Shi Fenglan?"
"Yes, but not entirely."
'Yes, I said it, but I didn't mean to say it completely.'
However, Gu Liangren's answers these few times have gradually become closer to human words, so Jiang Beiran didn't ask for too much. Just when he was about to continue asking, Gu Liangren spoke first.
"Although I have had a glimpse of the future since I told her fortune, but because of your appearance, this future is no longer the future."
Resisting the urge to scratch his head, Jiang Beiran didn't ask any questions and just continued to listen.
After a while, Gu Liangren continued: "The life of a person destined by fate is destined to be extraordinary. If you obey God's will, you can be honored as a great treasure and rule the world. But if you don't... then you are going against heaven and changing your destiny and starting a new life.
One side of the pattern.”
'I'd rather go with it...'
Thinking of all the "God's will" he encountered in the past, Jiang Beiran didn't want it to go his way? Then he had no destiny to go his way.
Now it seems that he wants to change his destiny against the will of heaven.
'Please, it's so tiring, okay?'
But having said that, Jiang Beiran also deeply felt that this Gu Liangren really had something. It was no wonder that all the Xuan Sages regarded him as a distinguished guest and called him an immortal.
Regardless of the vagueness, he can really figure out something.
But the system didn't pop up any options for him, which means...
'Does he know what to say and what not to say?'
"Sir, how should I do it..."
"Shh..." Before Jiang Beiran could finish speaking, Gu Liangren made a silent gesture to him, "I am just an ordinary person, I dare not answer your question, otherwise it will be a small loss of life and a big loss of life."
'Well...this one seems to be timid.'
Knowing that he could not delve deeper into the topic of destiny people, Jiang Beiran changed the topic and asked: "Junior, I have something that I don't understand. I would like to ask the Taoist Priest to clarify my doubts. When will the evil spirit in Shi Fenglan be gone?"
"That's up to you, not me."
"So it was really because of me that you asked Shi Fenglan to go to Guixin Sect back then?"
Gu Liangren looked at Jiang Beiran for a moment and replied: 'It's because of you, but not because of you.'
'Good guy... answered the question of loneliness.'
"Meow~"
At this time, the orange cat in Gu Liangren's arms meowed again. After hearing this, Gu Liangren inexplicably trembled his chest muscles twice, and suddenly looked back at Xia Lingdang with a somewhat complicated look.
Xia Lingdang was a little frightened by the sight, and couldn't help but hide behind Jiang Beiran in fear.
Jiang Beiran was overjoyed when he saw this. Could it be that Lingdang's opportunity has finally come!?
So he immediately raised his hands and asked, "Does the Taoist see something extraordinary about Lingdang?"
"It's unspeakable, it's unspeakable." After saying this, Gu Liangren didn't give Jiang Beiran any chance to ask further questions. He directly raised his head and asked, "Did you know... that the catastrophe is coming?"
'catastrophe……'
Jiang Beiran instantly thought of the third year in the system prompt.
Although he was not sure, Jiang Beiran still replied: "A little bit aware."
After hearing this, Gu Liangren burst out laughing, "That's because I don't understand. In that case, I have nothing to say to you anymore. I hope you can find the answer in your heart as soon as possible."
"Does the Taoist Master want to leave?"
"It's not that I want to leave, it's that you never came." After saying this, Gu Liangren left in the clouds.
Watching the clouds disappear into the sky, Jiang Beiran's heart was full of ellipses.
This is really seen, but not completely seen.
Although they chatted a lot, they actually didn't ask anything. The only thing I knew was that Gu Liangren really had two skills.
But it seems that he doesn't want to talk to his destined person, so the reason why he came to the door this time...
It should be entirely because of the catastrophe he mentioned.
'So...what's going to happen?'
Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and looked back at Xia Lingdang.
Although Gu Liangren looked at the old magician a little, he still said something meaningful. Although it was just a few "indescribable" words, it actually proved that Xia Lingdang was indeed extraordinary.
But thousands of words finally converge into one sentence.
‘The Riddler, get out of Xuanlong Continent!!!’
"Let's go, Lingdang, we're going back."
Although the goal of meeting Gu Liangren in advance has been achieved, since he has already come, it is not easy to let go of Lu Yangyu's senior brother, and there are many ways to meet more friends, especially in this completely unfamiliar country.
Jiang Beiran still wanted to get to know this new friend.
