When the entire Luoxia town was "surging undercurrents", Jiang Beiran and his party had already walked a long way, and they were standing on a plain looking around.
"Huh... I obviously followed the map, why is it wrong?" Liu Zijin took a map and looked left and right, but he couldn't find the correct route no matter what.
"Let me try." Fang Qiuyao said and took the map over, looking at it for a while, looking at it backwards for a while, and even looking sideways when she got anxious, but she just couldn't see why. It was a flush.
"Don't look at us... we can't understand this either."
Seeing Fang Qiuyao cast her eyes towards her, the three sisters of the Yu family raised their hands in unison.
Sighing helplessly, Fang Qiuyao looked at Senior Brother Jiang who was sitting on a boulder drinking water not far away.
Not long after leaving Luoxia Town in the morning, the senior brother told them that they had to walk the rest of the way by themselves. After all, "seeing pictures and knowing the way" is a necessary skill when going out. What are you doing
At the beginning, Liu Zijin could barely recognize the route on the map, but after walking for two hours, she became less and less aware of where she was on the map.
"How about... Let's ask the senior brother." Fang Qiuyao put down the map and looked at the other people and said.
The three sisters of the Yu family nodded and said separately.
"I agree."
"But who is going?"
"Brother will definitely kill us."
In fact, they have already asked Brother Jiang about the map several times on the way, and the senior brother would answer patiently the first few times, but whenever they asked questions that they had asked before, the senior brother would "teach" them, so they were confused. Some dare not speak.
Fang Qiuyao looked at Jiang Beiran, then at the map, and was about to grit her teeth and say, "I'll go."
I saw Liu Zijin take the map in her hand and say, "Then I'll go."
"No, sister Zijin, how can I let you be scolded by senior brother every time."
Liu Zijin shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't mind. We went down the mountain to practice, isn't it just to learn new things? It's nothing to be scolded a few times."
"But… "
"Stop talking, you just wait here for me." After Liu Zijin finished speaking, she took the map and walked towards Jiang Beiran.
Looking at Liu Zijin's back, the three sisters of the Yu family said in unison with emotion: "Sister Zijin is really a good person."
With some anticipation... oh no, feeling uneasy, Liu Zijin came to Jiang Beiran and shouted in parallel, "Senior Brother Jiang."
"Don't know the way again?" Jiang Beiran asked Liu Zijin after stuffing the water hyacinth into the Qiankun ring.
"Yes... It's really hard to identify where there is no official way."
"Didn't I teach you to pay attention to the nearby hou? Have you forgotten again?"
On the Xuanlong Continent without a navigation system, ordinary people naturally have their own way of knowing the way. For example, every five miles they have to set up a mound of earth, which is called a burial.
There are even guards on some main roads, who are responsible for managing and maintaining them.
Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Liu Zijin lowered his head and said, "Zijin is stupid, please punish me."
'here we go again… '
Jiang Beiran didn't know if it was because Liu Zijin's personality was too strong, and whenever she couldn't answer the questions he asked during the conversation, he asked him to punish her.
'I'm so cruel in their hearts? '
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran jumped off the boulder and took the map from Liu Zijin's hand.
However, the map issued by this sect is indeed poorly drawn. On the premise of taking mountains and rivers as the benchmark, the center of the map is Xihua City, the largest area in the jurisdiction, and the surroundings are drawn with various mountains and rivers in the jurisdiction. The approximate location of the scenic spot, and finally fill in the names of each village and town on the corresponding mountain or river.
However, this drawing method sounds very clear, but it actually looks like mountains on the map and mountains and mountains on the map, which is a mess.
Rolling up the map, Jiang Beiran said, "Actually, the fastest way to learn how to read a map is to learn how to draw a map."
"Draw a map?" Liu Zijin asked suspiciously.
"That's right, when you understand how this map was drawn, you will naturally understand how to follow the above drawing method."
"So that's the case, as expected, senior brother has a solution." Liu Zijin's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Come on, take this book and take a good look, it should be helpful to you." Jiang Beiran said while taking out a "Picture Record" from the Qiankun Ring and handing it to Liu Zijin.
"Thank you, brother." Bowing to Jiang Beiran, Liu Zijin took the "Picture Record" with both hands and read it.
Looking at Liu Zijin's serious reading, Jiang Beiran also began to think about the next arrangement.
The reason why Liu Zijin and the others were suddenly asked to be self-reliant was that as an iron seal, in addition to protecting the new disciples, it was also within the scope of Jiang Beiran's job to teach them some common sense.
Especially when the law enforcement handed over his most beloved disciples to him, if they found that they hadn't learned anything after returning to the sect, they would inevitably come to trouble him again.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran decided to train them in the most basic skill of seeing the picture and knowing the way.
Half an hour later, Liu Zijin closed the book and said to Jiang Beiran, "Brother, I seem to understand a little bit."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening: "Well, then continue to find the way."
Facts have proved that Liu Zijin is indeed very smart, and soon found the official way after comprehending the trick of knowing the way.
"Jifu Village should be ahead." After passing a fork in the road, Liu Zijin pointed to the front and said.
"Wow! Sister Zijin, you are so amazing!" Fang Qiuyao couldn't help clapping her hands.
"The book that my brother showed me is very good. The things written in it are very easy to understand, and it is very helpful for knowing the way."
"Book? What book?" Fang Qiuyao asked.
"Just this one." Liu Zijin showed Fang Qiuyao "Picture Record".
"Show us too." The three sisters of the Yu family came over curiously after hearing this.
"Hu... Tu... Lu." Softly reading the three big characters on the cover, Yu Guijuan said, "I wrote it down, and I'll buy a copy to have a look when I go back."
After hearing this, Liu Zijin smiled and said nothing. Although she was not very sure, she felt that this book should be written by the senior brother himself, because the lines between the lines are so different from those who can publish books, giving people a very casual feeling. Feel.
Putting the "Picture Record" away again, Liu Zijin took the other junior sisters to Jiang Beiran and asked, "Senior brother, what should we do next?"
Jiang Beiran glanced at them and said, "Tell me what you think."
After thinking for a while, Fang Qiuyao answered first.
"Should I go to the village to find out how those children disappeared, and find out the time and place first?"
Several other junior sisters also agreed after listening.
But Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, "You will only startle the snake by doing so."
Looking at the five blank faces, Jiang Beiran explained: "When we received the task, we knew that children in Jifu Village were frequently missing, which means that the criminals may still be committing crimes, or even lurking in the village. Once you inquire, you will inevitably expose your identity as a Guixin Sect disciple, and if the prisoner listens to it, he will naturally be more cautious and even stop committing crimes."
After hearing this, Liu Zijin and the others nodded repeatedly and said, "Senior brother is very reasonable, but if you don't ask, how are you going to investigate?"
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly and replied: "There is no need to investigate, just wait quietly for their next crime."
