After drinking for three rounds, when Yan Guangqing put another chopsticks of steamed meat into his mouth to chew, he suddenly said: "Bei Ran, you are in the Six Kingdoms, and you are so proficient in formations, you should have been to Jinding Island, right? "
Hearing Yan Guangqing's sudden question about this, Jiang Beiran didn't expect it, so he stopped his chopsticks and replied, "Well, I have indeed been there."
"Have you analyzed anything?"
"I'm ashamed to say that this junior can't see what the Jinding Island is attached to, let alone analyze it."
Yan Guangqing looked at Jiang Beiran for a while after listening, and finally laughed and said: "Even you didn't find anything... Then it seems that I will not make much difference."
When the topic came to this point, Jiang Beiran took advantage of the situation and asked, "Has Zongzhu Yan ever been to Jinding Island?"
"Oh." With a cold snort, Yan Guangqing picked up the wine glass and drank it down: "After all, it is an island within the scope of the six countries. Even if it can't be broken, it's not up to us small country suzerains to intervene."
When Yan Guangqing said the word "small country", he especially raised his voice, and he could hear that he was extremely dissatisfied.
However, Jiang Beiran didn't expect that the structure of the Six Kingdoms was so small, and they even set up a small circle without practitioners from outside the Six Kingdoms, no matter how strong or capable they were.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that Yan Guangqing's status is relatively high, so he was left alone. If he was replaced by a casual cultivator or a disciple of a sect, he might be invited by the Six Nations, and then he would be recruited to buy a dragon. Become a new member of the Six Nations family.
'But after all, the layout is still small. '
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of rice paper and spread it out on the table beside him to draw.
As a "confidant", after getting in touch with Yan Guangqing, Jiang Beiran certainly knew how obsessed he was with the formation, so he also fully understood the reason why he suddenly brought up Jinding Island.
Seeing Jiang Beiran suddenly put down his chopsticks and began to paint, Yan Guangqing also got up and walked to him to watch silently.
Yan Guangqing is still very interested in the Jinding Island in the eyes of Jiang Beiran, because this is the Jinding Island in the eyes of Jiang Beiran, a master of formations. Otherwise, Yan Guangqing would still dismiss it even if it was painted by another painter. Gu.
After the time for a cup of tea passed, Yan Guangqing suddenly smiled and waved to Nie Yixin: "Madam, come and see."
Nie Yixin heard that the latter was coming, and stood beside her husband, looking at Jiang Beiran's painting.
"Master Jiang's painting skills are really amazing." Nie Yixin was a little surprised.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect this kid to be good at painting Danqing."
Originally, Yan Guangqing thought that Jiang Beiran only needed to draw a rough outline of the island, and the focus was on the details that only the formation masters could see.
But he didn't want Jiang Beiran's Danqing Kung Fu to really amaze him. The painting of Jinding Island was so lifelike, as if it really appeared in front of his eyes.
Definitely worthy of the four words of a contemporary master.
When Jinding Island was completely painted, Jiang Beiran put down his brush and said to Yan Guangqing, "Zongzhu Yan, this is the whole picture of Jinding Island. Can you find anything from it?"
"No." Yan Guangqing replied directly, "Originally, this old man thought that the master and apprentice of the formation of the Six Kingdoms had a false reputation, so many people gathered together and couldn't tell what formation was guarding Jinding Island. Now after reading Beiran's painting, Only then did I realize that it’s not that those people are incompetent, but that this island is really weird.”
Then Jiang Beiran talked with Yan Guangqing about what he had seen and heard on Jinding Island. When he heard that a foreign race could somehow change the rules of the formation and send the strong Xuanhuang Realm to the island, Yan Guangqing thought I couldn't sit still.
Shame, shame!
If everyone can't see the special features of Jinding Island, Yan Guangqing can reluctantly accept that he didn't see anything about it, but when he thought that there was a foreign race who discovered some of the secrets of the Jinding Island formation before him, He felt uncomfortable all over.
"Beiran, let's go! Let's go back to the tower and study this Jinding Island carefully, the old man won't believe in this evil!"
Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to reply, he grabbed the drawing paper and walked towards the Shadow Moon Pagoda.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran bowed his hands to Nie Yixin and said, "Thank you Madam for your hospitality, I will take my leave first."
Nie Yixin nodded with a smile after hearing this, and said, "Hurry up and go."
Back at Shadow Moon Pagoda, Yan Guangqing looked at the drawing paper non-stop.
As for Jiang Beiran, he is not as impatient as he is. After all, Jinding Island is now a warehouse for him, and he can enter and exit freely, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
The reason why he showed Yan Guangqing the island painting was just to sell his favor. So many formation masters have studied Jinding Island itself for so many years, but they have not found anything. Yan Guangqing can study it just by looking at the painting
It's simply impossible.
In fact, just as Jiang Beiran imagined, Yan Guangqing's enthusiasm for cracking Jinding Island only lasted for half a day, and then he put the drawing paper aside.
No way, in the absence of any clues and conditions, "this question" has no entry point at all, and no matter how you think about it, it is just a waste of time.
I don't know if it was because of some shock, but after putting down the drawing paper, Yan Guangqing said to Jiang Beiran, "Would you like to go out and relax."
Jiang Beiran nodded, and said "OK."
When he came to the courtyard and saw the perfectly symmetrical buildings and scenery again, Jiang Beiran also began to feel a little better for no reason.
Walking between the small bridge and flowing water, Yan Guangqing suddenly said, "Bei Ran, since when did you like the profound art of formation?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran replied without hesitation: "When I personally arrange the first formation."
His words are not adulterated. When he saw the magic circle he set up for the first time take effect, the sense of accomplishment is still fresh in his memory.
"Hahaha, heroes see the same thing, heroes see the same thing! The old man also fell in love with this profound art from the time he set up the first formation, and even until now, every time he can make a difference in the formation, A breakthrough is still a good thing worth getting drunk all night for this old man."
Speaking of this, Yan Guangqing suddenly sighed.
"The old man thought that when I could see Jinding Island, I would be able to overwhelm all the heroes and crack the secret of Jinding Island in one fell swoop, but now it seems... oh."
Looking at Yan Guangqing's sighing expression, Jiang Beiran didn't expect that the fact that he just wanted to sell his favors would hit him hard.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's hesitant expression, Yan Guangqing smiled and said, "Beiran, do you still remember how we met?"
"of course I remember."
After all, things like Xuanzun descended from the sky don't happen every day, so how can I forget it.
But when he thought of Xuanzun who descended from the sky that day, Jiang Bei couldn't help but think of that demon fox. He wondered if it was hiding in some hole and was cultivating desperately, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
"The old man also remembers it very clearly. In fact, the reason why the old man suddenly went to Sheng country that day was because of a divination master."
Hearing the words fortune teller, Jiang Beiran suddenly became interested. He never found a chance to meet Gu Liangren when he was in Tongguo, but now he heard another divination master, and he can make Yan Guangqing completely believe in him Gua division.
That must be something real.
"The hexagram master?" Jiang Beiran asked curiously.
"Yes, a hexagram master." Yan Guangqing nodded, "Actually, since a long time ago, the old man has found that he has found it more and more difficult to walk along the formation. The front is not only full of unknowns, but also full of thorns. I have also experienced it."
'This... not really. '
Although Jiang Beiran has had many bottleneck periods, and it is the bottleneck period of various profound arts.
But he never panics when he encounters a bottleneck period, he just finds some other profound arts to practice first, and when the profound art skill that is stuck in the bottleneck increases in the future, the bottleneck period will naturally be solved.
So in this regard, it is really difficult for him to empathize.
Of course, this must not be said, so Jiang Beiran nodded in agreement and said: "Indeed, this feeling is very uncomfortable."
"Yeah, it's very uncomfortable." Yan Guangqing sighed again, "So I went to find the divination master to do a fortune telling. Guess what I did."
"Forgive me for not being able to guess."
Yan Guangqing didn't follow up with the question, but replied directly: "The old man figured out how to continue to make breakthroughs in the formation, and then there will be the day when the old man will appear in front of you."
'So that's how it is... and it's because of fortune-telling. '
Seeing that Jiang Bei suddenly stopped, Yan Guangqing continued to say: "I originally thought that the hexagram was referring to Fucheng, and thought that he might be able to help me when he grows up with the body of four images, but now it seems... It seems that you are the one who can help the old man go further in formation."
"How can this junior be able to be in..."
Before Jiang Beiran could finish humiliating himself, Yan Guangqing waved his hand and said, "The reason why I told you this is because I hope you can understand how much I want to make another breakthrough in the formation."
Jiang Beiran nodded secretly after listening.
As a qualified "old fox", it is a basic skill not to express one's real demands during negotiations.
Otherwise, it will become a granting handle.
What Yan Guangqing wants to express in this showdown is that we are no longer just a cooperative relationship where we have to sit down and negotiate, but a relationship of close friends where we can confide in each other.
'The speed of this relationship... It's really a bit fast. '
From the initial [Neutral] all the way up, I am afraid that it has broken through [Friendly] and came to [Intimacy].
'Probably this is the so-called correct password...'
The Jinding Island incident probably brought Yan Guangqing a lot of excitement. Although he knew that he had encountered a bottleneck in the formation in the past, he felt that he was not far from the Great Perfection, so it was normal to spend more time.
But now he realizes that let alone Dzogchen, there are still formations in this world that he can't understand at all, just like when he finally climbed to the top of a mountain, what he saw was not the infinite scenery, but a higher one. The mountain stood in front of him, and even alien races were already climbing up.
This time he was really in a hurry.
He also didn't want to stay on the unfinished hill in front of him, he wanted to challenge the higher mountain!
And now he has decided that Jiang Beiran is the key to helping him climb the hill in front of him.
Similarly, he also identified Jiang Beiran as the person in Lin Po's hexagram who could help him continue to improve in the way of formation.
Just when Jiang Beiran finished thinking about these things and was about to speak, the system option suddenly popped up.
[Option 1: "Juniors also feel the same." Completion reward: Fuying Mingdian (Earth-level top-grade)]
[Option 2: "No, the younger generation thinks that the expert's hexagram should refer to Fucheng." Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
Seeing these two options, Jiang Beiran understood the meaning of the system at once, chose the second option and replied.
"No, the junior thinks that the expert's hexagram should refer to Fucheng."
Yan Guangqing was taken aback after hearing this, he didn't expect Jiang Beiran to give him such an answer.
Looking at Yan Guangqing's gradually frowning eyebrows, Jiang Beiran continued: "Since Sect Master Yan is confidant to this junior, then this junior will no longer hide anything. My thoughts are actually the same as yours, and I just want to use Fucheng's four-element body Go a step further in the way of formation."
Yan Guangqing laughed when he heard that, "Are you saying that the appearance of the old man disrupted your original plan?"
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran said, "The moment you appeared, I knew it was Fucheng's opportunity."
Seeing that Yan Guangqing fell silent again, Jiang Beiran continued: "The more you practice one method, the more you value talent. The younger generation thinks that the same is true for formation method one. As long as Fucheng grows up, his four-element body will definitely give you a big enough body." surprise."
Yan Guangqing thought for a while after listening, but soon he laughed and said: "Now that things are up to now, it doesn't matter whether the hexagram refers to you or Fucheng, why should the old man have to make a choice? Yes, hahahaha!"
[Optional task has been completed, reward: Luck +1]
Seeing the long-lost luck point appear, Jiang Beiran immediately felt comfortable. Although he didn't know how much luck it would take to change his fate of being targeted by the Dao of Heaven all day long, every time he added a little more, he would add an inexplicable peace of mind.
"Hahaha, what Sect Master Yan said is true." Jiang Beiran echoed with a smile.
As long as Yan Guangqing doesn't completely focus on him and forget about Li Fucheng, then his mission will be considered complete.
"Come on, let's go back to the tower and continue to discuss the way to connect the formations."
"Please!" Jiang Beiran made a gesture of please.
…
Three days later, Jiang Beiran smiled as he looked at the Nine Gates layout on the deduction board.
After three days of repeated discussions, the two finally made some progress in connecting the formations.
In addition, the more in-depth study of the formation method, Jiang Beiran became more and more curious about who the magician who created the Feifu was. Originally, he didn't have much idea about the formation connection, he only knew that it must be very powerful. .
But as he became more and more familiar with the Xuanyi system of the Six Kingdoms, and got to know several formation masters in succession, he gradually began to understand how powerful the formation master who could create Feifu was.
It would definitely be a very interesting thing to chat with him.
'Well, if you have a chance, ask someone from the Shi family to inquire about it. '
