Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 178: Helping the tyrants to commit evil?
He sent the ginger soup that even dogs disliked to the barren mountains four hundred miles away, out of sight and out of mind. Although the entire Heiji Inn could not return to its previous atmosphere, everyone from top to bottom showed tacit smiles.

The next morning, He Shutang made an appointment with Yin Quan and Lan Ying'er and flew to Yuru Temple, a hundred miles away in the south.

At noon, Xu Yuanchang received the summons. Lan Ying'er lived up to his expectations and passed the examination, and both Yin Quan and Yin Quan became Yuruguan's official disciples. The two finally got their wish.

For more than a month after that, Xu Yuanchang went to the County Academy every afternoon, and Mr. Kou taught him the ancient characters for an hour. He returned to Bailin Valley at the beginning of Youshi, with a relaxed mind and no worries.

During this period, there was a mission to capture an evil traitor, which was delayed for two days.

Yu Fengwu still traveled to Bailin Valley, carrying water to cook every day, sitting around drinking tea, and chatting with Xu Yuanchang about everything as usual.

Occasionally, he would call Liu Xianfeng, and the two women would go to town to sell the vegetables they had grown, or go to a large market.

The fairy fell into the mortal world and blossomed by water.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in the middle of winter and it was freezing cold.

Xu Yuanchang came out of the academy and walked through the snow to Juyi Hall.

Xu Yuanchang picked up the jade bowl filled with green wine. The aroma of the wine was fragrant, and he touched the bowl lightly with the opposite side.

"You should have told me earlier, otherwise the wine will not be safe."

"No, Brother Xu, you can definitely figure out this formation diagram..."

Xu Yuanchang glanced at Qi Xingshan who was meditating facing the wall in the corner. Ever since he was "responsible" for the affairs of the Heiji Inn, Lao Qi had almost made Juyi Hall his home, working conscientiously for fear of anything going wrong.

He and Brother Xu have discussed arithmetic problems several times. Brother Xu's arithmetic is superb and his calculations are far-reaching, and he is far inferior to him.

"Brother Eight Legs, it's getting late, and we have to travel in the snow. Let's have a drink next time."

"Wait, wait."

It was dark outside, and in the empty lobby, Zhao Jun sat alone at the wooden table, pouring himself a drink.

He took a sip of the mellow spiritual wine and looked at Zhao Jun, who was showing courtesy to him for nothing.

"Brother Eight Legs, why are you looking for me today?"

Zhao Jun took out an unopened jar of spiritual wine and laughed loudly: "Come late to Tianxue, please drink the fine wine together. We brothers have a deep friendship and we don't need any other excuse."

Xu Yuanchang sat down opposite.

"Brother Eight Legs, let's drink the wine and take our leave."

Zhao Jun simply refused to pretend and shouted: "You boy, you want to leave after drinking, but there is no door."

This array diagram requires the use of nine palaces, number arrays, sequences, matrices and linear equations, which is very complicated.

Xu Yuanchang picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then took the scroll and took a look.

He took out a roll of rice paper and spread it on the empty space on the table. He did not forget to cover the open wine jar again. He was a wine lover and said: "Brother Xu, I have a problem with the formation calculation. I want you to help me do the math."

The luminous stone on the top shines softly, making the room full of light.

Xu Yuanchang thought about it carefully for a long time.

How could Zhao Jun let go of Brother Xu who didn't have doubts and confusion in his eyes? Based on the intuition of a descendant of an arithmetic master, he believed that Brother Xu could solve this formation diagram that was crucial to him.

It is painted with large and small overlapping circles, crisscrossing each other, involving ink lines and red lines. There are small semicircles with numbers and the directions of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and other lines mark the number of stars and the sky.

What made him uncomfortable was that he couldn't understand Brother Xu's secret calculation skills at all.

There are countless secret secrets in the world of immortality. As a heir to the arithmetic family, it is impossible for him to switch to Taoism.

He took out a prepared wooden box from his storage bag and pressed it on the table with a bang.

"Brother Xu, if you help me solve this formation diagram, I will give you a big gift. With your arithmetic talent, you could have become an outstanding formation master in some aspects, but your hands-on ability has limited your performance, but you It can become the nemesis of the formation master.”

Zhao Jun said with gritted teeth, showing his greatest sincerity.

Every formation master is a formation breaker in relevant fields, but they despise "formation breaker who is not an formation master".

In their eyes, every carefully controlled formation is the fruit of their hard work, a nearly perfect work of art, and a medium for communication with the formation, while a simple formation breaker is a destroyer who burns harps and cooks cranes, and does not understand Admire the savage rogue.

Of course, conversely, the formation breaker master can also "help" the formation master detect the perfection of the formation.

Therefore, the formation master loves and hates the formation breaker master.

"Secrets of Formation Breaker?"

Xu Yuanchang sat down again. He was very interested and asked knowingly.

After learning the formation for such a long time, wasted materials piled up, and my craftsmanship did not improve much.

His understanding of formations and formation masters was completely different from before. He had long known that there were formation breaker masters.

But Brother Bajiao refused to teach him how to become a Formation Breaker, so he didn't have much time to study.

If you don’t take advantage of the situation, you will be sorry for Lao Shi’s teachings.

Zhao Jun didn't say much, opened the wooden box and pushed it in front of Xu Yuanchang.

This is a set of basic books on formation breaker that he specially collected. There is an old saying, "The master leads the door, and the practice lies in the individual." For many things, it is difficult to find the threshold without guidance, and it takes a lot of time and energy to explore by yourself. , there are still many detours to take.

Xu Yuanchang laughed and put away the wooden box and said: "Brother Bajiao is kind and kind, but brother is disrespectful. I will take this formation diagram back. It will take me a long time to calculate and wait for my good news." Zhao Jun rolled up the drawings on the table. Passed it to Xu Yuanchang, and the voice message warned: "Brother Xu, please do not share this drawing. You can make a copy yourself. In the drawing left behind, it is best not to fill in the blanks, or to fill in a few key numbers incorrectly."

He knew that this slippery boy would not calculate this crucial formation diagram in front of him.

Xu Yuanchang put the drawings into his storage bag and nodded with a smile: "I understand, don't worry."

Zhao Jun kept sending Brother Xu out of the inn door.

There was heavy wind, snow, and cold fog between the sky and the earth. He slowly exhaled a long breath.

If you leave it to outsiders, you don't feel at ease. If you leave it to Xu Yuanchang, who knows the inside and out, you have to do it as a last resort, and the rest is hope.

Fortunately, he had a brother who was a demon hunter who was proficient in arithmetic and could help him.

It is not so unacceptable for Brother Xu to become a formation breaker.

Not far from Xu Yuanchang's walk out of the alley, he met Qi Zaixing, who was returning from walking in the snow wearing a bamboo hat. Although they were both at the Heiji Inn, the two had not seen each other for a long time, and they stood still and exchanged a few words.

It was snowing heavily and there were very few people walking on the street.

Qi Zaixing worked for the inn. Since Lao Shi left, the Heiji Inn has changed its manager several times. He has gone from doing idle chores to being assigned as a spy thousands of miles away, and then being transferred back to work on foreign affairs. Displaced.

"Come on, let's sit down at a wine shop and let's have a few drinks."

Xu Yuanchang took the initiative to invite.

The wrinkles on Qi Zaixing's black face relaxed, and he smiled and led the way to the side street.

The two of them walked into an old shop that had no business on a snowy day, warmed a pot of old wine, drank salted beans and braised vegetables, and chatted and drank casually.

Qi Zaixing arranged a simple ban to prevent the waiters and shopkeepers outside from listening to their chat.

After talking to Lao Shi for a while, there was no news. This place was too far away from the capital. The Wanli Communication Talisman was worth a hundred spiritual coins. With their family's wealth, they were not luxurious enough to send a message to an ugly old man to express his condolences.

Each stage has its own arena.

The past is precious and not worth worrying about.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Xu Yuanchang asked Lao Qi if he had encountered any difficulties?

His eyes are so sharp that he can see emotions and events in minute details.

Qi Zaixing smiled and sighed. When he could meet his former acquaintances and friends, he no longer hid them.

He briefly explained his bumpy experience for more than a year, and finally said: "Manager Mu of Zayuan has sent several of us to take turns stationed in a barren mountain in Huanyun Mountain to monitor an eccentric man on the opposite mountain. Errands are not done by humans, Lao Shitou was almost beaten to death by that man a few days ago."

"Steward Mu assigned you to monitor Jiang Tangtang?"

Xu Yuanchang was surprised.

"Yes, Manager Mu said it was the intention of the higher-ups. That man has a third level of cultivation. How could we monitor him?"

Qi Zaixing smiled bitterly, and then sent a message: "That man has been here for more than a month, and his temper has become more and more violent. He often goes out these days. Old Shitou secretly followed him behind, and found that the man went deep into Huanyun Mountain, plundering and killing people in the mountain. Hidden criminals, robbing cultivators, and adventurous roving cultivators hunting for treasures, and even kidnapping women... The man lost interest when he noticed someone was following him, grabbed the old stone and beat him half to death. If we hadn't followed him far away, we would have arrived in time. If you stop him, Old Shitou will definitely die."

They hate the former master of Chuanliubo so much, but what's the use?

I don't even dare to call him by his name.

Xu Yuanchang sneered in his heart. The big family would not care about Jiang Tangtang killing a few rogue cultivators in the mountains, let alone the lives of mortal women in the mountains. They could use the lives of rogue cultivators as whetstones to awaken Jiang Tangtang's murderous aura. I'm afraid this is something that the big family would like to see happen.

He originally came up with the idea to release the ginger soup into the wild, but he didn't expect this, which was an act of aiding the evil.

But even if he didn't come up with the idea, something else would happen.

I'm afraid it's extremely difficult to stop the grinding goal that the big family wants to achieve?
"You didn't report Jiang Tangtang's evil deeds?"

"Reported, there is no use for birds. Jiang Tangtang goes out to plunder and kill more and more unscrupulously, treating us as if we are nothing."

Qi Zaixing knew that it was useless to talk to Brother Xu, so he begged: "Brother Xu, can you do me a favor and second me for a few days to run errands for you?"

He didn't want to trouble anyone he knew, but this time he had to ask for help.

He realized that it was very dangerous to continue like this. The lives of those who were under surveillance could be at risk at any time.

Xu Yuanchang raised the stoneware wine bowl and said: "I will go to Qi Xingshan tomorrow morning and tell him that Xilin Valley lacks a manpower to take care of chores, and I want to second you for three years."

He wanted to do something to show off his power. In name, he would second Qi Zaixing to Xilin Valley, but in reality, he would arrange it in Bailin Valley.

Qi Zaixing was overjoyed and touched the wine bowl opposite.

"Please Brother Xu."

Now he just wants to stay away from that man. I heard that he will stay for up to three years.

Just get over it.

Some people miss the freedom of being a casual cultivator.
