A total of twenty-four big states, coupled with the extremely powerful individual strength of the practitioners, made the situation of the entire Xuanlong Continent extremely complicated. In Jiang Beiran's own words, there are disputes between the ancient seven heroes, There is also a modern nuclear level.
Several countries with strong and powerful forces are united vertically and horizontally, and you come and go in the central region of the continent with the richest resources.
Some small countries stuck in these powerful countries are trying to survive in the cracks. An interesting phenomenon is that because everyone wants to attack this small country, the small country is safe, but this kind of security makes people very uneasy. , because several powerful countries will use this small country as a "chessboard" and arrange various layouts on it.
Then there are some more remote countries, such as Sheng country, there are not many rare cultivation resources in the country, so you can quietly curl up in the boundary where you should stay, and then recognize a strong country or strong sect as your big brother, but you can still protect yourself. One side is at peace.
However, these are only general distributions. In fact, there are many special situations. For example, a Xuanzun or even a Xuanshen-level powerhouse cannot bear to see a place destroyed by war, so he sends him a symbol and tells People all over the continent.
"I will protect this country."
Another example is that a peerless genius suddenly appeared in a small country, and he became one of the strongest at an astonishing speed. If the family of this peerless genius is still in this small country, then this country can be regarded as having a gold medal in protection. Will come to make trouble.
All of the above are the effects of too strong individual power, and too strong individual power is also the main reason for the plummeting decline of the court's prestige.
Where there is an imperial court, there will naturally be an emperor, but in most countries, the emperor is just a puppet, and the one who needs to be responsible is to govern the country. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to prevent the common people from starving to death, otherwise, where would the sect or the demon sect recruit disciples? .
But the puppet belongs to the puppet, and the respect that should be given should still be given. Generally, behind the emperor is the most powerful force in the country. If other sects want to bully the court, they can tolerate you once or twice. To save face, that is to slap the big man behind the emperor in the face, so it goes without saying what the consequences will be.
The imperial court also has an army, and the army is still lethal to practitioners below Xuanling.
After all, before being promoted to Xuan Ling, once the Xuan Qi is exhausted, the cultivator will die in the face of the army.
But soldiers dare not provoke practitioners at all, they exist only to manage the people well.
However, not every emperor is so willing to be a puppet of a sect or a demon sect. Some emperors hibernated for several years and became masters by themselves, sweeping away the righteous and demons, and completing the centralized system of power.
Or the powerhouses of the country believe that a strong court is the foundation of a country, and the power must be concentrated in one place to manage the country better, then the court of this country will be very strong, and can even organize an army of practitioners .
Another thing is that a certain emperor is suddenly unwilling to be a puppet, and he has no strength to cultivate, and the practitioners in the country do not agree with the importance of the court. What can he do at this time
Make trouble!
Let the righteous and the devil fight on their own, and when they are defeated and the whole country is in ruins, when order needs to be rebuilt, his chance will come.
'Obviously, our old emperor, no, that's what the young emperor wants to do. '
In Jiang Beiran's impression, the emperor of Sheng Kingdom should be just in his twenties this year, at the age of high spirits, and he can understand if he wants to do something big.
'However, such things as rights are really a crime, and the poor and poor Fengzhou can attract so many people to die for it, let alone those rich states in the middle of the mainland. '
'This ghost place is too dangerous. '
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran looked at Li Fucheng and asked, "Can you tell me about those court officials in detail?"
"Specifically... I don't know very well. The third uncle just told me that the next period of time is likely to be uneven."
"Then you still run out?"
"I..." Lifucheng took a sip of sesame paste to hide his embarrassment, "I just feel that it's not peaceful, so there will be more opportunities for me to gain a foothold in other places."
"..."
A weak chicken who didn't make any preparations dared to come out with this kind of thinking, and he hasn't been killed yet. Jiang Bei has only one sentence to describe his mood at the moment.
'The halo of the protagonist is really awesome! '
In order to alleviate the sudden embarrassment, Jiang Beiran found a topic and said, "Hey, the formation of the Eighteen Mansions in your yard is pretty good. Who helped you?"
The Eighteen Mansions Formation is a defensive formation. There is a soldier from the underworld standing in each of the 18 positions, which is commonly known as a Yin soldier. As long as someone steps into this formation, the soldier will immediately report to the person who set up the formation. .
But when Jiang Beiran came in, he used a blindfold to block the Yin soldiers' sight, so he suddenly appeared in front of Lifu City.
"Brother Wang is making fun of me, the formation of the Eighteen Mansions...is set up by me."
"You put it on?" Jiang Beiran asked in surprise.
Although he had sent him a copy of "Eight Palaces and Four Luoshu" before, the Eighteen Mansion Dingzhen was not recorded in "Eight Palaces and Four Luoshu", and even if there were ten books in "Eight Palaces and Four Luoshu", The Eight Mansion Ding Formation shouldn't be something he, a newcomer who has only been in contact with formations for a few months, can pose, and it's so impressive.
At the very least, Jiang Bei could be sure that Wu Qingce, who had learned the formation for two years, would never be able to show it.
"Well, this is also thanks to the book of formations that you gave me last time, Brother Wang. I have benefited a lot from it and learned a lot."
Putting away his surprise, Jiang Beiran asked again: "Have you learned formation before?"
"Third Uncle taught me some things, but they were just the basics."
"You third uncle knows so many things..."
"Yes!" Li Fucheng nodded vigorously, "Third Uncle is really powerful. My mother said that if there were not some accidents back then, the leader of our Blood Flame Sect should have been Third Uncle, but..."
[Option 1: Continue to listen. Completion Reward: Golden Spirit Magic Method]
[Option 2: Interrupt Lifu City's words. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
'Fuck... again! ? '
Jiang Beiran, who had experienced this once, chose the second choice, then slowly shook his head and said, "I don't want to know about your housework, let's talk about formation."
[Optional task completed, reward: Calligraphy +1]
"Sorry, I got a little excited when I mentioned the third uncle. This formation is actually..."
'Hey... The story of the Blood Flame Cult feels like enough to make a third-rate TV series. '
Then Li Fucheng talked about how he understood the "Eight Palaces and Four Luoshu", extracted knowledge points from several formations recorded in it, and then tried to put out all the other formations himself.
But after Li Fucheng said so much, in Jiang Beiran's ears, there were actually only five words.
"I'm the protagonist and I'm awesome."
If what Li Fucheng said is true, then his formation talent is simply monstrous, and he can learn it faster than Jiadian.
"I see. It seems that brother Li is indeed very talented in formation." Finally, Jiang Beiran commented affirmatively.
"Brother Wang." Li Fucheng suddenly looked at Jiang Beiran seriously and said.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually..." Li Fucheng sighed: "I am very confused now. Although I made a name for myself in Jiangbei District by accident, I am very clear that it is not because of my own strength."
'Oh, it's pretty self-aware. '
Jiang Beiran's evaluation of Lifu City suddenly rose a little in his heart.
After finishing speaking, Li Fucheng hesitated for a while before continuing: "When we met last time, the few words of Brother Wang are still fresh in my memory, and they have also inspired me a lot. When I fell into confusion again, Brother Wang You appeared again, I believe it must be destined."
'Why did this kid just cripple himself? '
However, Jiang Beiran didn't intend to destroy his belief, and he cooperated with him in a sitting posture of a master.
Sure enough, Lifucheng was even more excited when he saw it, he stood up and bowed to the end, "Brother Wang, what should I do next, please give me some guidance."
As soon as Li Fucheng finished speaking, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Take advantage of the situation to conquer Lifu City, completion reward: Yinlongfo Spear (earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: Seriously analyze for Lifu City what he should do next. Completion Reward: Sparrow Feather Illusion (Mysterious Level Low Grade)]
[Option 3: "How do I know?". Completion reward: random basic attribute points +1]
'Grass... As expected of the protagonist template, it can easily trigger ground-level options, but what the hell is it to subdue him, I can still take out a poke ball. '
After complaining, Jiang Beiran carefully divided the first two options, and probably understood that if Li Fucheng changed his life trajectory because of his words, then this change would affect him, and it would be quite troublesome.
'Sure enough, it's better to think about accepting the protagonist as a younger brother. This kind of people's fate is too hard, and it is easy to kill the people around them. '
After choosing three, Jiang Beiran replied with a smile, "How do I know?"
[Optional mission completed, reward: strength +1]
This sudden answer made Li Fucheng almost tremble.
He thought that Brother Wang stared at him like this, and acted as if he wanted to answer seriously, and he would definitely point out a way that suits him very well, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was such a sentence that seemed like a joke.
'No...Brother Wang said it so seriously, it must not be a joke. Could it be that...Brother Wang means that you have to walk the road of life by yourself, and others can't help you, so instead of hesitating where you are, it's better To challenge the unknown. '
'how could I know? Yes, these short five words contain too much. No one can know what will happen after they make this choice, and no one can know what will happen tomorrow, but only by taking action will there be tomorrow, and there will be There is a future. '
Li Fucheng, who wanted to understand Jiang Beiran's meaning in an instant, bowed to the end again, and thanked him earnestly: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for your guidance, Fucheng knows what to do."
"You know what you know..." Looking at Li Fucheng's satisfied face, Jiang Beiran was a little confused.
'This guy is really more unconventional than me. '
After bowing, Li Fucheng stood up straight again and said: "Brother Wang, is there any younger brother who can help you with the matter of destroying the Yellow Gang?"
"No." Jiang Beiran waved his hand: "We are still of the same generation."
Now that he knew that Lifu City would suppress the fate of those around him, then this big brother Jiang Bei really couldn't afford it.
Li Fucheng was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he still agreed.
Nodding his head, Jiang Beiran said, "You have helped enough with the Huang Gang, and the rest will just wait for the results."
Now that he has figured out the details of the Yellow Gang, and caught several big fish along the way, as long as this information is sent up, then the Yellow Gang will face the dimensionality reduction attack of the two giants in Fengzhou. Any chance of survival.
"Yes, little..." Li Fucheng realized something was wrong in the middle of speaking, and changed his words: "Okay, I understand."
Worried that Lifu City would force him to beg him if he stayed, Jiang Beiran got up and said, "Thank you for the information this time, it was a great help. Now I have to hurry up and deal with it. We will meet again by fate."
"Brother Wang!"
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to walk out of the yard, Li Fucheng shouted suddenly.
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to stop, he saw two options popping up.
[Option 1: Stop and ask what is the matter. Completion reward: Qianhong Youlu (Xuan-level middle-grade)]
[Option 2: Leave directly. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
Decisively choosing the second, Jiang Beiran left the yard without looking back.
[Optional task completed, reward: Alchemy +1]
Seeing the back of Brother Wang leaving, Li Fucheng stood still for a long time, until Tang Tingshuang walked over and asked, "Is Brother Wang gone?"
"En." Li Fucheng nodded.
Seeing Lifucheng's somewhat lost look, Tang Tingshuang, who had just heard the conversation between the two in the kitchen, couldn't help but said, "I don't know why Brother Wang is so indifferent to you, Senior Brother."
"No! It's not like that." Li Fucheng shook his head.
"Then why does Brother Wang mean to draw a line with you, brother, in words and deeds..."
"Can't you hear that, Brother Wang is protecting us."
"Protect us...?" Tang Ting blinked her eyes in confusion.
"You should be very clear about what kind of existence the Yellow Gang is."
"En." Tang Tingshuang nodded.
"But Brother Wang wanted to uproot the Huang Gang when he opened his mouth. What does that mean? It shows that Brother Wang is in a completely different realm from us. He is worried that we will be involved, so he is unwilling to talk to us more. Say."
Li Fucheng sighed while talking: "I called to brother Wang just now to tell him that I am not afraid of strong enemies, and hoped that he would give me a chance to fight side by side with him, but brother Wang obviously knew what I was going to say, so I didn't There is no intention of staying, which shows that Brother Wang really doesn't want to implicate us."
"So it's like this..." Tang Tingshuang suddenly realized.
Looking at the direction where Jiang Beiran disappeared, Li Fucheng swore secretly.
'I must become stronger, so strong that Brother Wang is willing to let me face the many crises with him! '
