The sky gradually brightened, and the curtain of Bixiaohui finally came to an end.
However, what was different from the past was that after sending all the Xuan Kings off the island this time, many Xuan Zuns, even Xuan Sheng, stayed on Jinding Island.
There is no other reason.
What a shame!
Even Shi Ling has researched a way to allow Xuanhuang to enter Jinding Island, but they have made no progress.
What could be more embarrassing than this
Shi Hongyun also stayed, with Jiang Beiran and a middle-aged man wearing a Jinhe cloak standing beside him.
"It turned out to be such an eight-yang Shigen formation... Interesting, indeed interesting." The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Beiran's "puzzle" of mountains, his eyes were full of interest.
This middle-aged man was a friend that Shi Hongyun had found, and he was also a well-known ninth-rank formation mage, Situ Zhi, on the Xuanlong Continent.
No matter what kind of profound art it is, after reaching the ninth-rank realm, it may not be said that it can sit on an equal footing with Xuansheng, but at least Xuansheng will give it enough face on the surface. Turn decay into something miraculous.
This Situ Zhi did not become a guest minister of any sect, but found a clean place by himself to study with great concentration.
He was rarely born on weekdays, but this time he heard from Shi Hongyun that he had discovered the formation of Jinding Island, so he set off as quickly as possible.
As a top formation mage, Situ Zhi had of course been to Jinding Island.
But after only observing for a month, he found that the formation protecting Jinding Island was far beyond his imagination, and even made him have the same doubts as Jiang Beiran had before.
'Is the formation really protecting Jinding Island? '
Seeing Situ Zhidou's eyes glowing, Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to deal with the matter.
Now that Jinding Island seems to be his and Xiao Qi's back garden, Jiang Beiran naturally doesn't want someone to crack the Jinding Island formation, otherwise what would they eat
So after hearing that Shi Hongyun had found a ninth-rank formation mage, Jiang Beiran thought about how to draw him a cake that he couldn't eat no matter what.
What kind of lie is the scariest.
Of course, nine points are true and one point is false.
Jiang Beiran did not hide anything about the discovery of the Bayang Shigen formation, but told the ninth-rank formation mage everything he had discovered.
There are two purposes.
First, Jiang Beiran saw that Shi Hongyun brought Situ Zhi to win him over, so he must help win him over, at least on the surface, and make him feel "at home".
Secondly, the Bayang Shigen Formation is an internal formation of Jinding Island, and has nothing to do with the outside. This point has already been confirmed by Jiang Beiran.
As for the formation that protected the outside of Jinding Island, Jiang Beiran didn't even bother to study it. Anyway, he can already go through the back door, so why waste all his energy
…
"In the ancient theory, the one who escapes hides, it is the way of seclusion, and the armor is also called Liujia and Liuyi. There are direct symbols, and the ghosts and gods of the sky. If this theory is used, Jiang Xiaoyou's cognition just now may not be true. inappropriate."
Arching his hands towards Situ Zhi, Jiang Beiran replied: "Jiwen is often hidden under the Liuwu, and it uses the secrets of the heavens to gain the virtue of the gods. That's why the younger generation just said that the head of the Liuyin is quiet."
Situ Zhi pondered for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "My little friend is indeed very insightful, I should understand it!"
After speaking, he took a drink from the glass in front of him.
After discussing for a whole afternoon, Jiang Beiran and Situ Zhi had already developed from discussing Jinding Island to discussing Dao.
Situ Zhi was the first Ninth-Rank Formation Master Jiang Beiran knew, so he naturally wanted to get more information from him to understand what kind of abilities the Ninth-Rank level has.
And Situ Zhi was also full of interest in Jiang Beiran, who was too young to be a formation master, he didn't treat him as a junior at all, and his words were full of reciprocity.
The atmosphere of this kind of dialogue is naturally very good, and both of them have gained a lot.
Jiang Beiran finally had a clearer idea of the rank nine. Compared with Lu Yangyu who had not yet reached the eighth rank in Linglongfang, Situ Zhi was like him.
As for where he is strong, the first point is that Situ Zhi has no signs of partiality in the formation, whether it is a monitoring formation or a defensive formation, as long as it is a formation, he can express his own understanding, and The angle of understanding is very exciting, and Jiang Beiran has gained a lot.
The second is that Situ Zhi has his own unique view on formations. He believes that formations cannot only be borrowed from the power of heaven and earth. Humans are the spirit of all things. In fact, there are many things that can be excavated in the body. , In fact, it is also a good "tool" for formation.
'Human body made? You are an alchemist, hello! ? '
When Jiang Beiran heard Situ Zhi's argument, Jiang Beiran's first reaction was to complain in his heart, but then he felt that what Situ Zhi said was very reasonable.
The design of the human body is exquisite, and the body of the cultivator is even more powerful, and the stronger the cultivator, the more delicate and complex the body structure is. If we can really study and understand it, the importance of formations in many profound arts may be even higher. Floors.
The reason why Situ Zhi talked so much to Jiang Beiran was naturally because Jiang Beiran gave him a lot of inspiration.
After all, in terms of comprehensiveness, Jiangbei's knowledge base of natural formations must not be inferior to Situ Zhi's at all, and he can even find out some theories that Situ Zhi has never heard of.
In addition, Jiang Bei is of course numerous and skilled. He has formed his own school in many important battles, and the views he expressed made Situ Zhi feel that they were eye-opening and very interesting.
"My master's attainments in the theory of the Nine Palaces amazed the younger generation. I would like to offer you a toast." Jiang Beiran picked up the wine glass and saluted Situ Zhi, and then drank it down.
After chatting all afternoon, Jiang Beiran confirmed one thing, that is, in theory, he is good enough to compete with the ninth-rank formation mage, but he may fall behind a lot in actual formation.
After all, he is lacking in high-end operations such as super-large formations, miniature formations, and link formations, but since Situ Zhi can become a ninth rank, it means that he must not be bad at these high-end skills.
'Damn it... I didn't expect that I would also be the king of the mouth one day. '
"Little friend's understanding of Liukui Yizhu is also amazing, and I am greatly inspired." Situ Zhi looked at Shi Hongyun and said, "I don't know where Tianjun found such a person. An incomparable talent, really has a unique insight."
"Hahaha." After hearing this, Shi Hongyun was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "This kid is not hiding very deeply. I found him only after digging three feet. What, is it still in your eyes?"
"Don't dare to take it seriously. Jiang Xiaoyou's accomplishments in formations are not inferior to the old man, and today's chat is also very enjoyable."
"It's good to have fun, it's good to have fun..."
At this time, Jiang Beiran suddenly raised his wine glass and said, "Master, you have had your best time, but this junior has not."
Situ Zhi was taken aback for a while, but before he could ask, Jiang Beiran continued: "The junior still has a lot of questions to ask the master, and this afternoon alone is not enough."
"Hahaha." Situ Zhi laughed after hearing this.
Throughout Situ Zhi's life, he had heard countless compliments. Jiang Beiran's compliment was not brilliant, but he was better than himself because of his excellent skills.
So compared to the flattery of the inferiors, Jiang Beiran's flattery made Situ Zhi truly feel flattered.
Seeing Situ Zhi smiling happily, Jiang Bei ran the iron while the heat was hot: "The junior lives in the Shifu now. If Master Situ is free on weekdays, please come and give me more advice. The junior will definitely prepare good wine and food to welcome you."
Shi Hongyun on the side couldn't help but take a look at Jiang Beiran after listening, a little bit wanting to praise this cute little guy.
Situ Zhi, who had just been praised, was also refreshed, held up his wine glass and said: "Okay, it's quite boring for me to study formations by myself on weekdays. It would be a pleasure to have friends as companions. Well, there is no shortage of good wine and good food."
"Hahaha, that's natural, then I'll toast you first." Jiang Beiran said, holding up the wine glass with both hands.
At this moment, Jiang Bei knew that Shi Hongyun must be happy without looking.
After all, even if he is a Profound Sage, there is only one eighth-rank jade refining master in Linglongfang in the mansion, which is definitely not interesting compared to those Dazong who have a ninth-rank profound art master.
And this time Jiang Beiran was so active in helping Shi Hongyun win over Situ Zhi, firstly, because he was worried that Shi Hongyun would get his idea on him, and secondly, if he could make Shi Hongyun owe him a favor, his life in Shi's family It will be more comfortable.
This is a ninth-rank formation mage, and his favor is not insignificant.
Of course, Situ Zhi has only agreed to be a guest at the moment, and he is still far from becoming Shi's guest minister, but this is already a good start.
As for cracking Jinding Island
In the case of Jiang Beiran's efforts, the Jinding Island that Situ Zhi saw was no different from before. At most, he only knew the formation inside it, but this did not affect his inability to understand the outer layer. Great array.
So after drinking and chatting outside Jinding Island for three days, Jiang Beiran followed Shi Hongyun back to the Shi Mansion, and Situ Zhi returned to his own place of cultivation after promising that he would come to visit in the future.
"Meet the clan saint."
"Meet the ancestors."
"Meet the clan saint!"
…
In the inner city of Shi Mansion, Shi Hongyun led Jiang Beiran on the street. The Shi family members who saw Shi Hongyun on both sides of the road were all surprised, and then bowed in salute.
At the same time, he secretly cast a surprised look at Jiang Beiran.
In their eyes, being able to walk side by side with the clan saints is simply a supreme honor, and only the few big figures in the clan are treated like this on weekdays.
Of course Jiang Beiran knew this, he didn't want to be side by side with Shi Hongyun, but Shi Hongyun's intention was to help him build momentum, so that those "ghosts and snake gods" in the clan would weigh more when they approached him.
Jiang Beiran couldn't refute the Xuansheng's kindness, so he had to accept it silently.
"Bei Ran, you really don't want to stay on Jinding Island for a while?"
Before leaving Jinding Island, Shi Hongyun said that he could give Jiang Beiran a place to study Jinding Island up close.
This is what most people dream of.
But Jiang Beiran didn't need to study it at all, and even wanted to keep it as it was.
After all, no matter how many new loopholes other alien races have researched, it is useless. He entered Jinding Island as a "bug", even if those alien races exploited it, he is not his opponent.
So Jiang Beiran directly declined Shi Hongyun's kindness with the reason that he wanted to continue to shine in the Shi family.
Now that Shi Hongyun mentioned it again, Jiang Beiran replied: "The juniors in Formation are actually only good at theory. There is actually no difference between close observation and studying the topographic map of Jinding Island at home. In addition, there are many juniors in Linglong Workshop." Things have to be dealt with, so the younger generation made such a decision."
Hearing Jiang Beiran's sincerity in wanting to do more for the Shi family, Shi Hongyun nodded in satisfaction.
"Since that's the case, then just do as you wish." After speaking, Shi Hongyun paused for a moment and asked, "Beiran, do you have a plan for the next step?"
'very good. '
Seeing that the system did not pop up any prompts, Jiang Beiran knew that he had guessed correctly before, and Shi Hongyun had no intention of further testing him.
Now the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, which is very good for mutual benefit.
"From the words of the saint of the Hui nationality, the younger generation plans to recruit more talents for Linglongfang, so that Linglongfang can bloom more."
Jiang Beiran said this very tactfully, and the meaning is very simple, even if I am not in the mansion in the future, I will go out to find talents for your family, and I will definitely do my best.
"Hahaha, okay, you can always put your words in the heart of this gentleman, it's really hard to love, don't worry, as long as you sincerely do things for my Shi family, this gentleman will never treat you badly, next year Bi Lord Xiaohui hopes that you will continue to shine like this."
"Please rest assured, Clan Saint."
"Don't worry, I am really very relieved of you now." After finishing speaking, Shi Hongyun stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Beiran's shoulder: "Go, do what you should do."
After saying that, Shi Hongyun disappeared in place.
Seeing Shi Hongyun leave, Jiang Beiran also breathed a sigh of relief. He has been with this Xuansheng day and night for the past few days, and the pressure is also strange.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Jiang Beiran left the inner city under the surprised and envious eyes of the surrounding Shi family members, and walked towards Wanhua Valley.
Now that he has finally regained his freedom, Jiang Beiran has a lot to do.
"Xiao Beiran!"
As soon as he returned to the entrance of Wanhua Valley, Jiang Beiran heard Shi Fenglan's shout. Looking up, she was standing on the hillside waving at him.
Jumping down the hill, Shi Fenglan ran to Jiang Beiran and looked around, "Xiao Beiran, why did you come back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"He Zusheng stayed in Jinding Island for a few days, is there anything wrong?"
"Yes!" Shi Fenglan nodded vigorously, "Many people have come to look for you in the past two days!"
"more specific."
"Let me think about it." Shi Fenglan said, breaking up her fingers, "Uncle, third brother, second uncle..."
After almost knowing who came to him, Jiang Beiran replied that he knew, and then walked towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
"Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran, I'm hungry!" Shi Fenglan chased after Jiang Beiran and shouted.
"I'll make you something to eat later, I still have work to do."
"Okay~"
Just when Shi Fenglan was disappointed, there was another shout of joy not far away.
"Uncle!!!"
