Chapter 492 It’s not chance, it’s the Lord of Hell
I stayed in the Wei Kingdom for five consecutive days. During these five days, Jiang Beiran didn't run around anywhere. He just kept chatting with Zhu Tianlu.
In addition to discussing the major Xuanyi guilds in the Wei Kingdom, the content of the chat was to study formations.
As Lu Yangyu's senior brother, Zhu Tianlu's formation level is naturally higher than his, but this level is limited. Zhu Tianlu has mastered three types of formations, and is currently studying amplification formations.
At noon that day, Jiang Beiran came to the teahouse as usual. As soon as he sat down and ordered tea, he saw Zhu Tianlu walking in quickly.
"Master Jiang, I'm afraid your trip this time will be in vain." Zhu Tianlu sat down opposite Jiang Beiran and said.
From the first day when the two discussed formations, Zhu Tianlu knew that Jiang Beiran was a master of formations. In addition, Jiang Beiran would give him some pointers on boosting formations from time to time. After going back and forth, Zhu Tianlu began to address Jiang Beiran respectfully.
For the master.
After pouring Zhu Tianlu a cup of tea, Jiang Beiran raised his eyes and said, "Why, Gu Xianweng isn't here?"
Taking the tea cup handed by Jiang Beiran with both hands, Zhu Tianlu sighed: "I only heard that Gu Xianweng was coming to our sect before, but the news has disappeared in the past two days. Under such circumstances, even if Gu Xianweng does come,
Well, I guess it’s just a private meeting with our sect master, and it won’t be a big scene.”
After saying that, Zhu Tianlu put down his teacup and cupped his hands toward Jiang Beiran: "I'm really sorry. Next time I will wait until the news is confirmed..."
"Hey." Jiang Beiran waved his hand, "What did Zhu Zhenshan say? I was just here to try my luck. Not meeting Gu Xianweng means that fate has not come yet. I don't need you to apologize. If this happens next time
If you have an opportunity, please be sure to inform me again."
After hearing this, Zhu Tianlu smiled and said, "Okay, what are Master Jiang's plans next?"
"Since I can't see Gu Xianweng, I'm going to go back. There are still many things waiting for me to do."
"In that case, I will hold a banquet for Master Jiang to see him off tonight."
"There's no need to hold a banquet. We meet each other in the mountains and rivers, so just let it happen."
"Then listen to the master." After Zhu Tianlu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and saluted Jiang Beiran and said: "Then I will replace the wine with tea and wish the master a good journey."
"Thank you."
…
Farewell to Zhu Tianlu, Jiang Beiran returned to Feifu.
"Xiao Beiran!"
As soon as he walked into the door, Jiang Beiran saw Shi Fenglan running towards him excitedly, then unfolded a picture scroll and said, "Look!"
The painting is of a blooming orchid. Although the composition is very simple, it is still beautiful and can be called a good painting.
"How's it going?" Shi Fenglan poked her head out from the left side of Huajuan and asked.
"good."
"Yeah!"
With a cheer, Shi Fenglan put away the scroll and looked at Jiang Beiran with big eyes blinking: "Then can I start learning something else?"
Two days ago, the flowers in the yard outside were in full bloom. Upon seeing this, Jiang Beiran took out a huge drawing board and painted the beautiful scenery on a whim.
After this painting was completed, Shi Fenglan fell in love with it so much that she spent the whole afternoon looking at it outside.
Later, when it was time to have dinner, Shi Fenglan suddenly looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Xiao Beiran, can you teach me how to draw?"
"Don't you know how to draw?"
Jiang Beiran clearly remembered that when he first met Shi Fenglan, the tattoos on her body were drawn by him.
"What I drew is not as good-looking as yours." Shi Fenglan said, taking out a piece of drawing paper from the Qiankun Ring and spreading it out: "Look, this is the flower I drew. I don't think it's as good-looking as yours."
After looking at the drawings on the paper, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "If you really want to learn, there's no harm in teaching you."
"Okay, I knew Xiao Beiran was the best."
After that, Jiang Beiran began to teach Shi Fenglan how to draw, but rather than preaching, it was better to help her improve, because she had a good foundation.
"How many days have you been painting now? Keep practicing."
Although a little disappointed, Shi Fenglan still nodded and said: "Yes! Master Xiao Beiran."
After glaring at Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran said, "I told you not to call me that."
"Oh~" Shi Fenglan stuck out her tongue and passed the test.
After bypassing Shi Fenglan and walking into the hall, Jiang Beiran said, "Let's go back to Tongguo."
"Hey, are you going back?"
"Um."
"Okay~" After Shi Fenglan said that, she controlled Feifu and started to take off.
When Feifu began to move towards Tong State, Jiang Beiran suddenly looked at Shi Fenglan curiously and asked: "Who gave this Feifu to you?"
"The patriarch, he said that I should pay attention to safety when I go to such a far country. If I encounter danger, I will come back by flying to the mansion."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening.
From this conversation with Zhu Tianlu, Jiang Beiran learned that Feifu is a "black technology" from Qianji Palace. It is not only extremely valuable, but also sold in limited quantities. It is simply a BGram.
Therefore, there are probably only a few Feifu ships that the Shi family can buy, and it is really unlikely that they will be given to a junior like Shi Fenglan.
After thinking about it, Jiang Beiran could only think of one reason.
That is, Shi Fenglan's father gave the boat that originally belonged to him to his daughter in the name of the clan leader.
'Oh, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are.'
"Xiao Beiran, why are you asking this suddenly?"
"It's okay." After Jiang Beiran said that, he took out a stack of cards and a chessboard from the Qiankun Ring and said, "There are new characters and maps, do you want to play?"
When Shi Fenglan heard this, her eyes suddenly widened and she cheered: "I want to play, I want to play!"
Seeing Shi Fenglan happily studying the new card, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think of the word "karma" in his mind.
Although this was a riddle left by the old magician, the more Jiang Beiran thought about it, the more reliable it became. Shi Fenglan was not the karma of one person in the Shi family, but the karma of the entire Shi family. If the Shi family could not handle it well, maybe she would
It will become a "catastrophe" that destroys the entire Shi family.
'Oh, what kind of karma has all this caused?'
…
One day and one night later, Fei Mansion fell into the Shi family's Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, but Shi Fenglan didn't want to go down at all.
After the update, the simulation of cultivating immortals has added the new element of immortal beasts, making it even more exciting to play.
But of course Jiang Beiran would not spoil her. As soon as Fei Mansion arrived, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang and left Fei Mansion.
"Hey, wait for me, wait for me." Shi Fenglan also quickly chased after her.
Only Qu Yangze was left in the mansion.
After all, he can't control his body at all now. If someone in the Shi family sees through it, his status as a poisoner may still cause big trouble.
"hiss……"
As soon as she left Fei Mansion, Xia Lingdang shivered all over. Just like the last time she came to Shi's house, goosebumps all over her body suddenly appeared.
Jiang Beiran was also curious about what Xia Lingdang was afraid of. Thinking that she had free time today, she planned to take Xia Lingdang out for a walk. Maybe she would have an opportunity.
However, just when Jiang Beiran was about to take Xia Lingdang out, the system option suddenly popped up.
[Option 2: Let Xia Lingdang stay where she is. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
"hiss……"
Seeing this sudden heaven-level option, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but be stunned.
'This is not luck, it's the Lord of Hell.'
After being amazed, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but wonder what Xia Lingdang had sensed to be so dangerous.
"Lingdang, you stay here, I'll go out."
Xia Lingdang already knew that she couldn't run around in this place, so she immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Master's house."
[Optional task completed, reward: Insight +1]
All the way out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, Jiang Beiran also put away his curiosity and no longer thought about what Xia Lingdang sensed.
Arriving at Linglongfang, Jiang Beiran turned the corner and walked into Hengya Zhai.
Liu Weining didn't seem to be in charge today, so when Jiang Beiran walked into the hall, he didn't hear the familiar "Jade!"
"Huh? Beiran, why are you here?"
At the top of the stairs, Shi Hongfang, who was holding a formation book and studying it, suddenly looked up at Jiang Beiran and asked.
"Junior is going back to do some things, so I came here to say goodbye."
"Are you leaving again? You really can't stay any longer."
"I'm really entangled in everything and I can't get away from it."
"Okay, but if you go back for too long, remember to send me a letter. Don't make it look like you disappeared."
"Yes, this junior knows."
"Well, go ahead." Shi Hongfang nodded and continued to pick up the formation book and study it.
'Don't these people need to practice cultivation?'
In Jiang Beiran's impression, Shi Hongfang would appear in Hengya Zhai almost all the time, otherwise he would not have found him here at the first time. But in this case... what should he rely on to improve his cultivation?
'Maybe this is the willfulness of genius.'
After saying goodbye and leaving, Jiang Beiran went to Taiyi Pavilion again, found Lu Yangyu and expressed his gratitude, but did not tell him that he had met Gu Liangren.
Because although Gu Liangren didn't say it clearly, Jiang Beiran could still feel that he didn't want to spread the news about the meeting between the two.
After bidding farewell to Lu Yangyu, Jiang Beiran returned to Fei Mansion and returned to the Qian Tian Sect in the country.
As soon as he set foot on Panling Peak, Jiang Beiran found Yan Guangqing already waiting at the door with a smile on his face.
"Bei Ran, I thought there was good news as soon as I heard you were coming. I was so happy that I couldn't even sit still."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran raised his hands and said, "Sect Leader Yan said this. The pressure on this junior is a bit high, but this junior has fulfilled his mission and did come back with some good news."
Yan Guangqing's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said: "Hahahaha, I knew Beiran would take action, so this matter will definitely be settled."
Seeing Yan Guangqing smiling so happily, Jiang Beiran did not tempt him and directly took out the deed written by Shi Weiyi.
"This is the condition for the Shi family to agree to trade with your sect. I would like to ask Sect Master Yan to take a look at it."
"Hahaha, we are not in a hurry to talk about business. Let's take a walk and go in for a drink with me first." After Yan Guangqing finished speaking, he grabbed Jiang Beiran's arm and dragged him inside.
But Jiang Beiran immediately said: "Sect Master Yan, before you drink, you should read the contract first."
After hearing this, Yan Guangqing laughed even more boldly, "Why, the requirements put forward by the Shi family in the deed are very harsh? Don't worry, I have already thought of this. Let's go, let's drink first!"
Since Yan Guangqing said so, Jiang Beiran had nothing to persuade him, so he left the bell and followed Yan Guangqing to the inner hall.
Arriving at the perfectly symmetrical backyard, Yan Guangqing quickly took Jiang Beiran to the scenic pavilion where they had dinner together, and found Yan Guangqing's wife, Nie Yixin, among them.
So Jiang Beiran stopped and cupped his hands and said, "Junior, I pay my respects to Mrs. Yan."
Upon seeing this, Nie Yixin quickly made an invitation gesture and said: "Young Master Jiang, there is no need to be polite. Come in and have some wine. I will cook two side dishes for you."
"There is no need to bother Madam so much, junior..."
In the middle of Jiang Beiran's words, Yan Guangqing waved his hand and interrupted: "Hey! Why are you so polite? I'm going to stay with you until I get drunk today. How can I do it without food and drinks?" After saying that, Yan Guangqing looked at Nie Yixin and said, "Then
Thank you for your hard work, madam."
"As a family, if you say anything polite, I will go first."
When Nie Yixin left, Yan Guangqing invited Jiang Beiran to sit down and said, "Mr. Lu Ningxiang has already made arrangements. In addition, I have also sent people from the palace to take care of things."
"Sect leader Yan really has hands and eyes that can reach the sky. This junior admires him." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said.
Although in the last conversation, Jiang Beiran felt that Yan Guangqing's energy in the country was not small, but in such chaos, Yan Guangqing could still intervene in the central political issue of the country. This is not energy.
It's not a small problem, but it has a lot of say.
Otherwise, with Wuya Sect’s current momentum of killing all its own people, how could they care about other people’s words?
This is definitely because the two divided parties still want to win Yan Guangqing's support. Even if they don't need it now, when they decide the winner one day, the winning side will definitely need a large amount of domestic support.
"Hahaha, where does such a person have great hands and eyes? It's just an exchange of interests. However, I can only guarantee the lives of her family, but there is no guarantee that this position can be secured."
As Yan Guangqing spoke, he picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass for Jiang Beiran and handed it over.
"Thank you very much, Sect Master Yan." Taking the wine glass with both hands, Jiang Beiran replied: "For their family, it would be a shame if no one is sitting in that position now. Sect Master Yan can save the lives of their whole family, so they should be grateful.
Already."
After pouring himself another glass, Yan Guangqing suddenly sighed: "The world is changing so fast. No one knows what will happen tomorrow."
Looking at Yan Guangqing's emotional expression, Jiang Beiran didn't believe that he had no idea how this coup happened.
However, Jiang Beiran was not interested in the coup in the country to begin with, so he had no intention of asking in detail.
"Here, let's have a drink." After sighing, Yan Guangqing picked up the wine glass and said to Jiang Beiran.
"Dry." He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Yan Guangqing. Jiang Beiran drank the wine in one gulp.
"Bei Ran, please bring me the deed and have a look at it." Yan Guangqing lowered his glass and said.
"Okay, here is the deed. Please take a look at it, Sect Master Yan." After Jiang Beiran said that, he took out the deed from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Yan Guangqing.
After receiving the deed from Jiang Beiran, Yan Guangqing let out a breath and began to read it.
