Qi Yan returned home,
When passing through the courtyard, I paid special attention to Tachibana Mata's traces. After confirming that there were no traces of children, I quietly slipped into Leng Qiuyue's room...
Seeing that the other party was not there, he searched carefully and finally found the other party in the alchemy room.
At this time, Leng Qiuyue was sitting in bed with her eyes closed, and purple clouds were lingering around her body. Perhaps she was practicing breathing and breathing after taking the elixir.
He didn't want to disturb her too much, but with each breath, the beautiful woman exuded such mature and charming charm, which made Qi Yan feel excited.
I am reminded of the classic saying of a certain boss: If a woman doesn’t lower her head until she looks up, she is already the most beautiful woman in the world~
Then he walked over quietly.
Leng Qiuyue, who was practicing breathing and breathing, seemed to have sensed Qi Yan's presence, and her breathing began to become rapid.
After a weekly cycle was over, Leng Qiuyue felt completely at ease. At this time, she glared at Qi Yan in front of her with sad eyes, and said, "Didn't you go to Mo Yunxuan? Are you back so soon?"
"When things are done, I will come back naturally."
Qi Yan sat down next to Leng Qiuyue with a flattering expression and said, "Besides, I missed my sister-in-law, so I rushed back."
After that, he gave Leng Qiuyue a peck on the cheek.
Leng Qiuyue suddenly felt ashamed and said coquettishly: "Glib tongue~"
Qi Yan was already extremely hungry and thirsty, but when he saw his sister-in-law's cheeks turning red, it became even more unbearable.
Then he smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is Ju?"
"she?"
Leng Qiuyue seemed to have come to her senses and said shyly: "I... went out to play~"
"Then we can't live up to this beautiful scenery~"
"..."
...
There is no time to practice, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
On this day, Qi Yan came out of Mo Yunxuan's door. In his storage bag was the rose dividend he had just received, which was a full 150 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones.
He originally wanted to buy some elixirs from Mo Yunxuan so that he could go back and practice them for himself and his sister-in-law.
But looking at Ye Huayi's eyes looking down from the tall building, I felt a little overwhelmed.
After much thought, I decided that it would be more appropriate to go to Zhenbao Pavilion to buy and sell things.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Luo Yushu coming forward to salute respectfully, her attitude even more polite than before.
"Elder Qi, are you here?"
"Elder?"
Qi Yan was a little confused, and then he remembered that he was indeed hired as the guest elder by Zhenbao Pavilion last time.
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Luo."
Out of affection, Qi Yan said sheepishly: "You and I don't have to pay attention to such formalities. Just call your Taoist friends normally."
Luo Yushu did not reply, but changed the subject with a smile on her face and said: "Fellow Daoist Qi is here this time to look for Mr. Li?"
"this..."
Qi Yan hesitated for a while. Although the real purpose was to buy elixirs, he thought that since he was already here, it would be an opportunity to make friends with big bosses. He then replied: "That's what I have in mind~"
"in this way."
"Fellow Daoist Qi, please follow me~" Luo Yushu said sweetly.
Then he turned around, passed through the huge screen in the middle of the door, passed through the courtyard, and came to a simple and quiet building.
There are large poles of formation flags all around the building, one pole every seven meters, seven poles in total. They are placed neatly and elegantly, just like a set of formations, and the building itself is the eye of the formation.
After a while, the two came to the room where Li Shouzhuo usually stayed.
However, just when Luo Yushu was about to step forward to report, the door to the room opened on her own initiative.
"Oh, little friend Qi, you are here."
I saw Li Shouzhuo looking like a child at this time and saying enthusiastically: "I miss you so much these days~"
"I've met Mr. Li~" Luo Yushu saluted respectfully.
"Okay, okay~" Li Shouzhuo responded perfunctorily, then took Qi Yan's hand and said, "Come on, come on, little friend Qi, let me show you the treasure I studied today."
Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then replied: "If that's the case, then this junior will be troublesome."
After that, he followed Li Shouzhuo into his room.
Facing Luo Yushu, Qi Yan turned around and asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, why don't we come together?"
"My concubine..."
Luo Yushu looked stunned, not knowing whether she should enter or not.
"Girl, you can come in too."
Li Shouzhuo said nonchalantly: "Since I am the guest you are hosting, you should not neglect your etiquette."
"yes."
Luo Yushu bowed slightly and followed in immediately.
...
inside the room,
The pattern of the Big Dipper is clearly carved on the ground. There is no extra furniture and there is only a futon in the middle.
After everyone entered, the old man said nothing, but stood up for a moment. The pattern of the Big Dipper suddenly glowed, and a set of formations appeared in front of the two people like a 3D silhouette.
"My friend, this is the "Yin Yang and Five Elements Formation" that I have been studying during this period. It contains the five elements and eight trigrams, the twenty solar terms and the ten branches of heaven, etc., and they complement each other..."
Li Shouzhuo introduced in detail, looking particularly proud in his words.
"It's just..." The old man suddenly felt confused: "When I activated the formation, the last few directions could not be deduced."
Li Shouzhuo sighed and shook his head with regret.
Qi Yan listened to the whole process. Although he didn't understand the specific problem, he also knew that it was a difficult problem that even a fourth-level formation master couldn't figure out.
Then he said: "Senior just said that the greatest function of this array is to create illusions, using illusions to attract people's souls, and achieve the effect of controlling confusion."
"But according to what I just observed, the senior's formation seems to have only ten heavenly stems and no twelve earthly branches. If the twelve earthly branches are matched with the ten heavenly stems in sequence, will the effect be better?"
Qi Yan stared at the formation intently, making rapid deductions in his mind...
"Twelve Earthly Branches..."
Li Shouzhuo murmured to himself, carefully studying what Qi Yan had just said. After three or four breaths, he suddenly realized: "Yes, there are twelve earthly branches... twelve earthly branches..."
"Why didn't I think of that~"
"If they are matched in sequence, they will form sixty basic units, and then if they are matched in order, you should get an orientation that can reflect the changes in the seasons."
"No wonder I always felt something was wrong when I activated the formation before."
"It turns out that the time changes sometimes faster and sometimes slower, which leads to inaccurate position derivation later."
The old man who spoke shook his calloused hands slightly and seemed to be saying to himself: "That's right, it's absolutely right this time..."
After that, Li Shouzhuo took out the "Yin Yang and Five Elements Array" from his storage bag, and then carved it along the directions of the twelve earthly branches.
After the overall characterization of the orientation was completed, a brand new formation appeared in front of Qi Yan and others.
