After staying in Wei country for five days, Jiang Bei did not run around during these five days, but kept chatting with Zhu Tianlu.
In addition to discussing the major mysterious art fairs in Wei country, the content of the chat is to study formations.
As Lu Yangyu's senior brother, Zhu Tianlu's formation skills are naturally a bit higher than his, but this height is also limited. Zhu Tianlu has mastered three types of formations, and he is currently studying the formation formations of the booster type.
At noon that day, Jiang Beiran came to the teahouse as usual, and as soon as he sat down to order some good tea, he saw Zhu Tianlu walking in quickly.
"Master Jiang, I'm afraid your trip will be in vain this time." Zhu Tianlu sat across from Jiang Beiran and said.
From the first day when the two discussed formations, Zhu Tianlu knew that Jiang Beiran was a master of formations. In addition, Jiang Beiran would give him some pointers on the enhancement of formations from time to time. Zhu Tianlu began to respect Jiang Beiran when he came and went For the master.
After pouring Zhu Tianlu a cup of tea, Jiang Beiran raised his eyes and said, "Why, Gu Xianweng isn't coming?"
Taking the teacup from Jiang Beiran with both hands, Zhu Tianlu sighed: "I just heard that the Gu Xianweng is coming to our sect, but the news has disappeared in the past two days. Under such circumstances, even if the Gu Xianweng really came Well, I reckon it's just a private meeting with our suzerain, it won't be a big scene."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Tianlu put down his teacup and cupped his hands towards Jiangbei and said, "I'm really sorry, next time I will wait for the news to be confirmed..."
"Hey." Jiang Beiran waved his hand, "Where is Zhu Zhenshan? I was just here to try my luck. I didn't meet Gu Xianweng, which means that my fate has not yet arrived. I don't need you to apologize. If there is another time like this If there is an opportunity, please let me know again.”
After hearing this, Zhu Tianlu smiled and said, "Okay, then what is Master Jiang's plan for the future?"
"Since I can't see Gu Xianweng, I'm going to set off to go back. There are still many things waiting for me to do."
"That being the case, I will hold a banquet for Master Jiang to see him off tonight."
"There is no need to hold a banquet. We will meet in the mountains and rivers, just follow the fate."
"Then listen to Master." After Zhu Tianlu finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and respected Jiang Beiran, "Then I will replace wine with tea, and wish Master a smooth journey."
"Thank you."
…
After bidding farewell to Zhu Tianlu, Jiang Beiran returned to Feifu.
"Xiao Beiran!"
As soon as he entered the gate, Jiang Beiran saw Shi Fenglan running towards him excitedly, then unfolded a picture scroll and said, "Look!"
The painting is a blooming orchid. Although the composition is very simple, it is still beautiful. It can be called a good painting.
"How is it?" Shi Fenglan poked her head out from the left side of the flower scroll and asked.
"good."
"Great!"
With a cheer, Shi Fenglan put away the scroll, blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Then can I start learning other things?"
Two days ago, the flowers in the yard outside were in full bloom. Seeing this, Jiang Beiran took out a huge drawing board to draw the beautiful scenery on a whim.
After the painting was completed, Shi Fenglan liked it very much, and it took an afternoon to see it outside.
Later, when it was time for dinner, Shi Fenglan suddenly looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "Xiao Beiran, can you teach me how to draw?"
"Don't you know how to draw?"
Jiang Beiran clearly remembered that when he first met Shi Fenglan, the tattoos on her body were drawn by himself.
"My drawing is not as good-looking as yours." Shi Fenglan took out a piece of drawing paper from the Qiankun Ring and spread it out, "Look, this is the flower I drew, and it doesn't look as good-looking as yours at all."
Looking at the drawing on the paper, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "If you really want to learn, it's okay to teach you."
"Okay, I knew Xiao Beiran was the best."
Afterwards, Jiang Beiran began to teach Shi Fenglan how to draw, but instead of preaching, it was better to help her improve, because she has a good foundation.
"I've only been painting for a few days? Keep practicing."
Although a little disappointed, Shi Fenglan nodded and said: "Yes! Master Xiao Beiran."
Glancing at Shi Fenglan, Jiang Beiran said, "I told you not to call me that."
"Oh~" Shi Fenglan stuck out her tongue, and the cuteness passed the test.
After bypassing Shi Fenglan and entering the hall, Jiang Beiran said, "Let's go back to Tong Country."
"Hey, are you going back?"
"Um."
"Okay~" After Shi Fenglan finished speaking, she controlled Feifu and started to lift off.
When Feifu began to head towards Tongguo, Jiang Beiran suddenly looked at Shi Fenglan curiously and asked, "Who gave you this Feifu?"
"Patriarch, he said that I should pay attention to safety when I go to such a far country, and if I encounter danger, I will come back in Feifu."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening.
From the conversation with Zhu Tianlu this time, Jiang Beiran knew that Feifu was a "black technology" from the Palace of Thousands of Machines. It was not only extremely valuable, but also sold in limited quantities.
Therefore, even if the Shi family could buy a few Feifu, it is really impossible to distribute them to a junior like Shi Fenglan.
After thinking about it, Jiang Beiran could only think of one reason.
That is, Shi Fenglan's father gave the ship that originally belonged to him to his daughter in the name of the patriarch.
'Oh, poor parents all over the world. '
"Xiao Beiran, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"It's okay." Jiang Beiran took out a stack of cards and a chessboard from the Qiankun Ring and said, "New characters and maps, do you want to play?"
When Shi Fenglan heard it, her eyes widened and she cheered, "I want to play, I want to play!"
Watching Shi Fenglan study the new card happily, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think of the word "karma".
Although this is a riddle left by the old magic stick, Jiang Beiran thinks more and more reliable. Shi Fenglan is not the karma of a certain person in the Shi family, but the karma of the entire Shi family. If the Shi family can't handle it well, maybe she will It will become a "catastrophe" that will destroy the entire Shi family.
'Oh, what kind of karma is this? '
…
After one day and one night, Feifu fell into the Shi family's Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, but Shi Fenglan didn't want to go down at all.
After the update, the simulated cultivating immortals has added the new element of fairy beasts, making it more exciting to play.
But of course Jiang Beiran would not spoil her, as soon as Feifu arrived, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang and left Feifu.
"Hey, wait for me, wait for me." Shi Fenglan also hurriedly chased after her.
Only Qu Yangze was left alone in the mansion.
After all, he can't control his body at all now, if someone sees through some clues in the Shi family, the identity of a Gu person may still cause big trouble.
"Hiss..."
As soon as she left Feifu, Xia Lingdang shivered all over, just like the last time she came to Shi's house, goosebumps all over her body instantly rose.
Jiang Beiran was also curious about what Xia Lingdang was afraid of. Thinking that he was free today, he planned to take Xia Lingdang out for a stroll, maybe he would meet her chance.
However, just as Jiang Beiran was about to take Xia Lingdang out, the system option suddenly popped up.
[Option 1: Take Xia Lingdang out. Completion Reward: Nine Heavens Path (Heaven-Level Low-Rank)]
[Option 2: Let Xia Lingdang stay where she is. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
"Hiss..."
Seeing this sudden sky-level option, Jiang Beiran couldn't help being stunned.
'It's not a chance, but Lord Hades. '
After marveling, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but wonder what Xia Lingdang had sensed to be so dangerous.
"Ling Dang, you stay here, I'll go out for a while."
Xia Lingdang already knew that she couldn't run around in this place, so she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, master."
[Optional task completed, reward: insight +1]
All the way out of Wanhua Valley, Jiang Beiran put away his curiosity and stopped thinking about what Xia Lingdang perceived.
Arriving at Linglongfang, Jiang Beiran turned a corner and walked into Hengya Zhai.
It seems that Liu Weining is not in charge today, so when Jiang Beiran walked into the hall, he didn't hear the familiar "Yu!"
"Huh? Beiran, why are you here?"
At the stairway, Shi Hongfang, who was studying with a book of formations, suddenly looked up at Jiang Beiran and asked.
"The junior is going back to do some things, so I came here to say goodbye."
"Leaving again? You really can't wait at all."
"It's really entangled with everything, and I can't get rid of it."
"Okay, but if you go back for too long, remember to write me a letter, don't look like you disappeared."
"Yes, the junior knows."
"Well, let's go." Shi Hongfang nodded, and continued to study the book of formations.
'Do these people not need to practice? '
In Jiang Beiran's impression, Shi Hongfang would appear in Heng Ya Zhai almost all the time, otherwise he would not have found it in the first place, but in this case... What does he rely on to improve his cultivation
'Probably this is genius willfulness. '
After saying goodbye and leaving, Jiang Beiran went to the Taiyi Pavilion again, found Lu Yangyu and expressed his thanks, but he didn't tell him that he had met Gu Liangren.
Because although Gu Liangren didn't say it clearly, Jiang Beiran could still feel that he didn't want to spread the word about their meeting.
After bidding farewell to Lu Yangyu, Jiang Beiran took the Feifu and returned to Qiantianzong in the Kingdom of Yang.
After stepping onto Panling Peak, Jiang Beiran found that Yan Guangqing was already waiting at the door with a smile on his face.
"Bei Ran, as soon as the old man heard you came, he felt that there was good news. He was so happy that he couldn't sit still."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and said: "Sect Master Yan said so, the pressure on the junior is a bit heavy, but the junior has fulfilled his mission and indeed brought some good news back."
Yan Guangqing's eyes lit up and said: "Hahahaha, the old man knew that Beiran would go out, and this matter must be settled."
Seeing Yan Guangqing smiling so happily, Jiang Beiran didn't want to whet his appetite, and directly took out the contract written by Shi Weiyi.
"This is the condition for Shi's family to agree to do business with Guizong. I also ask Sect Master Yan to take a look."
"Hahaha, don't rush to talk about business, let's go in and have a drink with the old man first." After Yan Guangqing finished speaking, he wrapped his arms around Jiang Beiran's arm and was about to drag him in.
But Jiang Beiran immediately said: "Sect Master Yan, before drinking, you should read the deed first."
After hearing this, Yan Guangqing laughed even more boldly, "Why, the Shi family's requirements in the deed are very strict? Don't worry, this old man has already thought of this, let's go and drink first!"
Now that Yan Guangqing said so, Jiang Beiran had nothing to persuade him, left the bell behind and followed Yan Guangqing to the inner hall.
Arriving at the perfectly symmetrical backyard, Yan Guangqing quickly led Jiang Beiran to the scenic pavilion where they had dinner together before, and found Yan Guangqing's wife, Nie Yixin, in it.
So Jiang Beiran stopped and cupped his hands and said, "The younger generation pays homage to Mrs. Yan."
Seeing this, Nie Yixin quickly made a gesture of invitation and said, "Young Master Jiang, don't be too polite, come in and have some wine, and I'll cook two side dishes for you."
"Don't bother Madam so much, junior..."
In the middle of Jiang Beiran's speech, Yan Guangqing waved his hand and interrupted: "Hey! What are you being polite about, today the old man wants to get drunk with you, how can I do without food and drink. ’ After finishing speaking, Yan Guangqing looked at Nie Yixin and said, "Then it's hard work for Madam."
"As a family, if you say something polite, the concubine will go first."
When Nie Yixin left, Yan Guangqing called Jiang Beiran to sit down and said, "Mr. Lu Ningxiang has already made arrangements, and I have already sent someone to take care of the palace."
"Sect Master Yan really has hands and eyes open to the sky, and this junior admires him." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands.
Although in the last conversation, Jiang Beiran felt that Yan Guangqing has a lot of energy in the country, but in such a chaotic situation, Yan Guangqing can still insert his mouth on the political center of the country, this is not energy It's not a small problem, but it has a lot of right to speak.
Otherwise, with Wu Yazong's current momentum of killing all his own people there, he would not pay attention to other people's words.
This must mean that the two sides of the split still want to win Yan Guangqing's support. Even if they don't need it now, when they decide the winner one day, the winning side will definitely need a lot of domestic support.
"Hahaha, it's just an exchange of benefits, but the old man can only guarantee the lives of her family, but whether this position can be secured is not guaranteed."
While talking, Yan Guangqing picked up the flagon and poured Jiang Beiran a glass and handed it over.
"Thank you, Sect Master Yan." Taking the wine glass with both hands, Jiang Beiran replied: "For their family, it is light for no one to sit in that position now. Sect Master Yan can save the lives of their whole family, and they should be grateful to Dade gone."
Poured another glass for himself, Yan Guangqing suddenly sighed: "The world is changing so fast, no one knows what will happen tomorrow."
Looking at Yan Guangqing's emotional expression, Jiang Beiran didn't believe that he would have no idea how the coup d'état happened.
However, Jiang Beiran was not interested in the coup d'état in Ying country, so he didn't mean to ask in detail at all.
"Come on, have a drink." After sighing, Yan Guangqing picked up the wine glass and said to Jiang Beiran.
"Do it." Picking up the wine glass and touching it with Yan Guangqing, Jiang Beiran drank the wine in the glass.
"Bei Ran, bring that contract to the old man to have a look." Yan Guangqing said as he lowered his wine glass.
"Okay, the deed is here, please take a look at it." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he took out the deed from the Qiankun ring and handed it to Yan Guangqing.
After receiving the deed from Jiang Beiran, Yan Guangqing breathed out and began to look through it.
