"Master, just accept me, I will definitely obey the rules." Seeing that the master is rarely willing to say a few more words to himself, Shi Yutong stepped up his offensive and said
Before Jiang Beiran could answer, the system options popped up.
[Option 1: "I told you I won't accept apprentices." Completion reward: Yanlin Demon Book (earth-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Take out a turtle shell and tell Shi Yutong that one day he can use this to figure out where he is, and one day he will take her as his apprentice. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'This routine is a bit familiar. '
This is as fundamental as setting Wuduo Jinhua back then to become the first disciple of Guixin Sect... Well, it is an almost impossible task, if they are all focused on how to become stronger, they will not always be able to become stronger. The moth came to him.
In other words, blindly rejecting Shi Yutong will only make her more excited, and thus she will come up with more ways to learn from her teacher.
Simply setting an impossible goal for her would kill her mind in disguise.
'High! '
Choosing the second, Jiang Beiran took out a tortoise shell from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Shi Yutong, "Since you are so sincere, then I will give you a chance. Do you know what this is?"
Hearing that the master finally let go, Shi Yutong said happily: "I know, the turtle shell divination."
"Foretelling is a skill that requires a lot of talent. If you don't have this talent, it's meaningless to worship me as a teacher. Therefore, if you want to become my apprentice, you must first pass my test."
What Shi Yutong is not afraid of most in this life is the test, so he replied without thinking, "I wonder what kind of test the master will give me?"
Showing the back of the turtle shell to Shi Yutong, Jiang Beiran asked, "Do you know why you use the turtle shell for divination?"
Shi Yutong obviously learned fortune-telling by himself, so he replied confidently: "There are three grids in the middle of the tortoise pattern, representing the three talents of heaven, earth, and human beings, and there are twenty-four grids next to it, representing the twenty-four solar terms. There are also twelve grids at the bottom, representing the twelve earthly branches."
Then Shi Yutong stretched out three fingers and continued: "The sum of all the characteristics coincides with the Sansancai of the gossip, the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, master, am I right?"
"That's right, this is turtle shell divination." Jiang Beiran shook the tortoise shell in his hand as he spoke, motioning for Shi Yutong to take it.
When Shi Yutong took the tortoise shell, Jiang Beiran said, "My test for you is that one day you can use this tortoise shell to figure out where I am, and I will take you as a disciple."
[Optional mission completed, reward: charm +1]
'Ah shit! Crazy handsome! This is it! '
Seeing that the charm has increased a little bit, Jiang Beiran feels a pain in the ass. Seeing that this brand new attribute point is "catch up" with the first four basic attributes, Jiang Beiran feels his liver tremble.
If it continues to grow like this, God knows what kind of monsters and ghosts will be attracted in the future.
Holding the tortoise shell over and over again, Shi Yutong looked up at Jiang Bei and said, "Okay, I will definitely complete this test."
Jiang Beiran was a little surprised by Shi Yutong's reaction. He thought Shi Yutong would let him teach him how to use turtle shells for divination first, but she didn't mean to ask at all.
I don't know if she has already mastered divination with the turtle shell, or if she considers it a part of the test.
But no matter which point it was, Shi Yutong met Jiang Beiran's first requirement of taking the initiative to accept disciples.
self-sufficient.
For the task given by the master, there are only four words "guaranteed to complete".
As for the difficult parts of the task, they all rely on themselves to find a way to solve them.
This is a perfect subordinate.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to that day." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he bypassed Shi Yutong and continued to walk forward.
Seeing the back of the master leaving, Shi Yutong shook the tortoise shell in his hand, and smiled slightly when he heard the muffled sound of copper coins bumping inside.
'An expert is an expert, and the trials given are so different, I really like it! '
…
Jiang Beiran, who bid farewell to Shi Yutong, went to the entrance of the Shengxian Mansion to pick up Liu Weining who was stored here, and then took her back to Linglongfang. Now that the main purpose is completed, the rest of the time can be spent talking about the old days.
When he came to the Taiyi Pavilion, Jiang Beiran said to Liu Weining, "You just stay on the first floor and play by yourself."
Liu Weining, who rubbed against the jade, nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
Nodding his head, Jiang Beiran went straight up to the second floor, and saw Lu Yangyu sitting cross-legged on the teacher's chair to refresh himself.
Jiang Beiran was not polite, he sat down on the chair next to Lu Yangyu and said, "I wonder what curator Lu is thinking about?"
Lu Yangyu smiled slightly after hearing this, and replied: "I was thinking that the young girls nowadays are really kind-hearted."
"..."
Of course, Jiang Beiran knew that Lu Yangyu was referring to the pair of maids who supported him in the morning, but when he thought that such a trivial matter would bring Lu Yangyu back to the present, Jiang Beiran had to feel emotional.
'The joy of the old color batch is so simple. '
He took out an altar of jade pot spring from Qiankun Ring and put it on the table, Jiang Beiran lifted the wine seal and said, "Just took it out of the cellar, try it?"
The moment he smelled the wine, Lu Yangyu lost his composure all of a sudden, put down his feet and leaned forward and said, "My brother still understands me, I'm so hungry these days."
"Didn't I already teach you how to distill, why, still can't make spirits?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Lu Yangyu waved his hand, "It's strong, but the taste is far from your brother's wine, but Lao Fu is currently researching it with great concentration, and he should be able to make a good one after a while Yes, of course, it’s still incomparable with your brothers.”
Hearing Lu Yangyu's continuous flattery, Jiang Beiran took out a wine bowl and poured some for him, saying, "I left some good wine for you before I left last time, have you finished it?"
"I can't drink enough of those wines by myself, and Lao Fu would come to rub some more from time to time, and it's long gone." Lu Yangyu picked up the wine bowl, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk, this fragrance!"
After speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
"Ha~" Satisfied, he let out a breath of alcohol, and Lu Yangyu leaned back in his chair with a contented expression, as if he was reminiscing.
When Jiang Beiran helped him pour the second cup, Lu Yangyu suddenly said, "Brother thinks of me so much, and I have nothing to repay. Didn't you inquire about Gu Xianweng before, so you asked carefully for me. A few days ago, I heard that Gu Xianweng seems to be going to Wei country, if you still want to find him, you can try your luck."
Jiang Beiran stopped holding the wine jar after hearing this. He really wanted to inquire about Gu Liangren again when he came to Shi's house this time, but this kind of mysterious big man that everyone is looking for but can't find, he It's not easy to ask casually.
So I put it on hold for a long time, and now I heard that Lu Yangyu helped me find out the news, I couldn't help but said happily: "Thank you, Director Lu, I am indeed still looking for that Gu Liangren."
Picking up the wine bowl and taking a sip, Jiang Beiran continued to ask, "Apart from knowing that he is going to Wei, is there any more specific news?"
"There must be, otherwise I am not fooling you, brother." Lu Yangyu took a sip of wine after finishing speaking, and continued: "My brother told me this news. He is currently working as a guardian in the Senluo Sect of Wei State. I said that their suzerain seems to have invited Gu Xianweng to their place, but the news is not necessarily accurate."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening, thoughtful.
"If you really want to look for it, I'll just tell my brother, he will help you." Picking up the wine jar and pouring himself another bowl, Lu Yangyu said again: "I thought I'd let you know more about the news Yes, but you are here right now, so let me tell you first."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran put down his wine bowl and cupped his hands and said, "Okay, then I would like to trouble Director Lu to introduce your senior brother to me."
Anyway, it's just to try luck. If it happens, Jiang Beiran does have a lot of things he wants to ask him, but if it doesn't happen, it means that the fate has not yet come, and he doesn't force it.
Seeing that Jiang Beiran was determined to find Gu Xianweng, Lu Yangyu slapped his thigh and said, "No problem, I'll write a letter to my senior brother now."
"Thank you."
"Why are you being so polite to me, brother, it should be." After Lu Yangyu finished speaking, he walked to the study.
After a while, Lu Yangyu came out of the study again and said to Jiang Beiran: "The letter has been delivered, I will tell you when my senior brother writes back."
"to make."
Sitting down again, picking up the wine bowl and touching Jiang Beiran, Lu Yangyu suddenly remembered something and said, "Lao Shen hasn't been here for a while, is he still busy with the broken page?"
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded, "I found someone to accompany him."
"Let me just say, if he is looking for it by himself, he will come to me every day for help."
Hearing Lu Yangyu's words, Jiang Beiran couldn't help thinking that Xiaoqi didn't know how he was doing with this matter, but since he hadn't written a letter to ask for help, it showed that it was going well.
Otherwise, Xiaoqi will definitely focus on completing the task instead of persevering.
After finishing the two jars of wine, Lu Yangyu got up suddenly and said, "I'll go in and see if the senior has replied."
Jiang Beiran raised his wine bowl to signal that he knew.
After a while, Lu Yangyu came out again and said: "It seems that senior brother did not retreat today, and the reply letter has already arrived."
Sitting back on the grand teacher's chair again, Lu Yangyu took out a ruler and handed it to Jiang Beiran, "This ruler is a token of my agreement with my senior brother, so you take it."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran took the ruler over.
"As for the exact location, I'll show you a map later, but you only need to go to the Wei country to find Sen Luozong. It's the number one sect in the Wei country. The saint sits in it."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help laughing and said, "This Guxian really only deals with big shots."
"That's right, most people can't invite him." After speaking, Lu Yangyu went to find a map and came back, drew a circle on it and handed it to Jiang Beiran, saying: "This is the location of Sen Luozong, you just need to take it Fa Chi is staying at the foot of the mountain, my brother will find you."
"Okay." Jiang Beiran took the map and glanced at it, probably having an idea in his mind.
"It shouldn't be too late, my senior brother doesn't know when this Gu Xianweng will come, or you can go over now and wait."
Jiang Beiran thought for a while that there was really nothing urgent to do right now, so he put a Qiankun Ring on the table and said, "Okay, then I'll have a drink with the curator when I come back."
"Well, wait for you."
When Jiang Beiran turned around and went downstairs, Lu Yangyu picked up the Qiankun Ring he had placed on the table and poked inside, the smile on his face suddenly brightened.
When he came to the first floor, Jiang Beiran said to Liu Weining who had a blank expression: "Give me back the jade, I have to go."
Liu Weining woke up like a dream, and with a face full of disappointment, she took out five blue neon jade statues and said, "Is it really not possible to change them? '
"I said, when you can find this kind of jade yourself, I will exchange it with you."
"Okay." Nodding, Liu Weining returned the Honghu Jade to Jiang Beiran with a full face of reluctance.
After taking back the Honghu Jade, Jiang Beiran left Linglongfang and returned to the Valley of Thousand Flowers.
Shi Fenglan, who was playing Legend of the Dragon with Xia Lingdang in the room, saw Jiang Beiran coming back, and said, "Xiao Beiran, you are back."
"Well, pack up, we are going to go to Wei country."
"Wei country?" Shi Fenglan was stunned for a moment, then immediately cheered: "Good, good, I've never been there before."
At this time Xia Lingdang raised her head and said, "Then shall we continue playing?"
"Of course..." In the middle of the conversation, Shi Fenglan looked in Xiao Beiran's direction and asked, "Can you play this game well before leaving?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Great."
With a cheer, Shi Fenglan knocked out a small fish in her hand, and used character skill tricks to cause the two characters on Xia Lingdang's field to fight each other and start killing each other.
"I'll cover another formation card to end the round."
Putting the card away, Shi Fenglan turned her head and shouted to Xiao Beiran: "I wanted to find Moyer to play with today, but she seems to be very busy recently and has not been at home."
"She will be busier and busier in the future."
"Why?"
"As I said last time, she is now the leading figure among the juniors of your Shi family, so naturally there are many things for her to do."
"It's so troublesome to be a leader." After sighing, Shi Fenglan turned her head and looked at the game again.
Xia Lingdang looked at the cards in his hand first, and then said: "I will use my Qiao Feng to attack your little fish."
Facing Qiao Feng, who had higher attack power and HP than Xiao Yuer, Shi Fenglan didn't panic, and triumphantly opened the formation card on the table.
"I launched a maze, and none of your characters can attack me this round."
"Okay." Xia Lingdang nodded, and began to study which card to play this round.
Instead of standing aside and continuing to watch the battle, Jiang Beiran walked out of the room to look at the flowers on the hillside outside, checking to see if they were sick.
Not long after, Shi Fenglan pushed the door open with a smile on her face, ran to Jiang Beiran and said, "Xiao Beiran, I won~"
"Congratulations."
"Hey" with a smile, Shi Fenglan squatted next to Jiang Beiran, looked at the flowers on the ground and said, "Xiao Beiran, it seems that since you came, they have bloomed more beautifully, and sometimes I am reluctant to pick them."
"Then don't pick it up."
"It's not enough to just look at it."
'…'
Without continuing, Jiang Beiran stood up and said, "Let's go back to Feifu."
