I survive in the weird Liaozhai

………Gu Nian’an???

Looking at the smiling Taoist Qi Yuan, he was speechless for a moment. Did his master take the wrong medicine?

Why do I feel like he's a bit sinister?

"Master, if possible, could you tell me the whole story from beginning to end?"

“Yes, of course.”

His apprentice is good in every way except that he is a little too independent.

No matter what happened since I was a child, I always liked to think about it alone and rarely asked him for advice.

This took away a lot of the fun of teaching his apprentices, and now that his own apprentices can take the initiative to ask, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Taoist Qi Yuan stood up and quickly put the tea set on the table on the stool, then took the parchment paper from Gu Nian'an's hand and gently spread it on the table.

Everything was ready. The two stood in front of the table, and Taoist Qi Yuan began to explain slowly.

"This thing was found by your uncle and I from a ruin when we were wandering around in the martial arts world in our early years. Your uncle was not interested in it, so he let me take it away."

"At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but later on, I found out that this thing might have a big origin."

"Look here"

Taoist Qi Yuan pointed at the upper left side of the parchment.

Gu Nian'an looked in the direction of Taoist Qi Yuan's finger and saw a bunch of crooked handwriting, none of which he recognized.

"This is an introduction to an ancient civilization. The general idea is that there was a powerful force called Guqiu State.

In ancient times, they had almost no rivals. They enslaved many ethnic groups. They were good at witchcraft and could obtain the most fundamental enlightenment from heaven and earth. They were the darlings of heaven and earth. "

Look here again, Gu Nian'an's eyes followed the direction of Taoist Qi Yuan's finger again.

Following the old Taoist's explanation, Gu Nian'an also roughly understood what this parchment paper was.

In general, this is a picture of an ancient witch formation used for sacrifices.

As for the effect?

According to the old Taoist, the Guqiu Kingdom can communicate with heaven and earth through this witch formation, and thus obtain some key revelations from heaven and earth.

For example, what major events have happened in the past, what major events are happening now, what major events will happen in the future, etc....～.

Listening to the old Taoist's talk, Gu Nian'an was speechless.

Ha, ha, to be honest, he didn't believe a single punctuation mark in the description on the parchment paper.

Just kidding.

An extremely powerful force that can know the past, present and future is bound to have no rivals.

Then the question is, where is the invincible Guqiu Kingdom now?

Was it crushed by a meteorite? I am speechless. This guy is bragging so much that he is about to blow the cow up.

However, when he turned around and looked at Taoist Qi Yuan, whose face was filled with excitement, he was even more speechless.

This must be fake wine, you must have drunk too much. How can you believe such nonsense?

After the explanation, Taoist Qi Yuan turned around and looked at his disciple excitedly.

...～Gu Nian'an

He pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly and revealed a bitter smile.

This is his own master, his dearest master. If someone else dared to fool him like this, he would beat him up so hard that he would doubt his life.

Alas! It’s okay for the elderly to have some hobbies, as long as Master Qi Yuan doesn’t get involved in those dangerous things.

Even if he wanted to study the stars, Gu Nian'an would find a way to make him an astronomical telescope.

Taoist master Qi Yuan looked at the smile on his disciple's lips, nodded with satisfaction, and spoke even more excitedly.

He patiently listened to the Taoist's explanation. There was nothing much to say about the text part, which was probably mostly bragging.

But when the Taoist started explaining the witch formation diagram, his expression became more serious.

Not to mention that this formation diagram does contain some information, including various knowledge such as the stars in the sky, mountains and rivers, terrain, the five elements and the eight trigrams, and it is also quite methodical.

As the old Taoist explained in more depth, he gradually understood the meaning of the formation diagram.

But as he watched, Gu Nian'an could hardly maintain the fake smile on his face.

What the hell, what an idiot, is there something wrong with his brain?

The stars in the sky are fine, and the mountains and rivers are okay, but these Five Elements and Eight Trigrams are fucking reversed, really reversed.

You use this thing to perform sacrifices against the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. Aren't you afraid that God will find out and slap you back into your mother's womb?

They are so fucking crazy. No wonder the Guqiu Kingdom is gone. What future can a force created by a bunch of crazy people have?

He didn't listen carefully to what Taoist Qi Yuan said afterwards, and there was no need to listen any further.

If you want to get inspiration from God by following the way those psychopaths in Guqiu Kingdom play, you’re dreaming.

God was very considerate of them by not killing them himself. Now she had no interest in this thing at all.

But since Taoist Qi Yuan was interested, it would be bad to discourage him, so he asked:

"Master, does this formation have a name?"

After waiting for a while and not hearing any response from the Taoist priest, Gu Nian'an turned around and looked at Taoist priest Qi Yuan, whose face was full of energy and eyes were shining.

His brows twitched involuntarily, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from his excitement.

So Gu Nian'an had to raise his voice a little more and ask again

"Master, what is the name of this formation?"

Gu Nian'an's loud questioning finally brought Taoist Qi Yuan back to his senses from his unrealistic fantasy.

"Oh, oh, there are some, some have names, the name of this formation is "Heavenly Questions"

"hehe"

Hearing this, Gu Nian'an could only laugh dryly. They really dared to get up. According to the way those lunatics in Guqiu Kingdom played, Heaven's Question and Heaven's Punishment were more like that.

"Then Master, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Gu Nian'an felt that he had to run away. He had no interest in studying this formation diagram at all. He felt that it was an insult to his own IQ if he continued to look at it.

But before he could run away, he was stopped by the Taoist priest.

"Nian'an, wait a moment," Taoist Qi Yuan carefully took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Gu Nian'an turned around and looked at the things on the table. The jade pendant was the size of a palm and was green in color. It was crystal clear and did not contain any impurities.

The landscape carved on the jade pendant is very exquisite, and you can tell at first glance that it must have been made by a famous artist.

"Master, this is...~~"

Old Qi Yuan slowly turned the jade pendant over.

Gu Nian looked carefully and saw a large word "Xi" carved in the center of the jade pendant.

"This is what I got from your junior sister when I adopted her."

"This should be related to her life experience."

"I haven't told her all these years, but I've calculated, and his relatives should still be alive.

When you have time, take her all the way north, there should be some clues. As a teacher, I am old and don’t have the energy to accompany her again.”

"You take the jade pendant. As for when to tell the girl about this, it's up to you to decide."

Gu Nian'an walked up and picked up the jade pendant from the table, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Okay, Master, when Junior Sister is older, I will tell her about this. As for whether to go find her relatives, let her make her own decision then."

"Um"

Taoist Qi Yuan nodded and said, "This is her own business, let her make her own decision.

By the way, you can also take the Nian'an formation diagram and see if you can figure it out."

Gu Nian'an returned to his room, put away the jade pendant, and then looked at the "Heavenly Questions" formation diagram in his hand speechlessly.

He knew that he was still too late. How could he not understand the temperament of Taoist Qi Yuan? It was obvious that he wanted him to help set up a "Heavenly Questions" formation to test the effect.

But is this thing really reliable? If it wasn’t given to him by Taoist Qi Yuan, and if the Taoist seemed to treasure it very much, he would have thrown it directly into the toilet.

But, forget it, forget it. Taoist Qi Yuan was able to study martial arts secrets for three months peacefully for his own interests. It's just a formation, no big deal.

He did it right away. He cleared the table, spread out the "Heavenly Questions" formation on the table, and began to study it.

After the old Taoist's explanation, he had a rough idea of ​​what this thing was.

But he still felt a little at a loss as to where to start with this thing. He had studied Feng Shui formations for five or six years and had some experience with it.

But the witch formation and the feng shui formation are two completely different concepts. Plus, there is no corresponding reference, so I'm completely in the dark.

Alas, it seems that I can only copy it. When the time comes, I will find a piece of open space and set up the formation according to the diagram.

That won't work. According to the old Taoist's explanation, the "Heavenly Questions" formation covers at least hundreds of miles. Where can he find such a large open space? Otherwise, he could reduce the size to a hundred meters, which would feel good to him.

The only problem is how to get the materials for setting up the formation.

He had never heard of star crystals, earth essence, or sun crystal gold, so he didn't know where to get them. He might as well get some granite, soil, or ordinary metals as substitutes.

Another big problem is the number of people. The 365 stars in the sky, the five elements and eight trigrams, the main priest, the deputy priest and other positions all need people to preside over them.

Add in the priestesses performing the sacrificial dance, and it would be impossible to carry out this operation without at least a thousand people.

There are only three people in the entire Qingyang Temple now, so we can’t have fun.

As for asking for cooperation when going down the mountain, Gu Nian'an had never thought about it. It didn't matter if his family played whatever they wanted behind closed doors, but he had never thought of dragging other people along to go crazy together.

After much deliberation, Gu Nian'an finally made up his mind to set up the formation on the top of Xiaoqing Peak. He could still clear out an open space of several hundred square meters by himself.

As for those so-called natural treasures, those with the word "stone" in them are replaced by granite.

For characters with the word "earth", use a small pile of earth instead.

As for the ones with gold characters on them, he should be able to find them by searching the villages at the foot of the mountain.

If it's people, it can be solved. At that time, Taoist Qi Yuan will be the main priest, he will be the deputy priest, and his junior sister will dance. As for other positions, they can just carve a wooden man and stick it wherever they want. It shouldn't be a big problem.

Alas, I don’t know if Taoist Qi Yuan will be satisfied with this. After all, even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

This is the only ability his apprentice has, he really can't create a bigger scene.

Besides, he is still recovering from his injuries, so he cannot practice martial arts. However, simply chopping trees and collecting items should not be a problem for him.

He would try to set up the formation for the Taoist master before his injuries were fully recovered. After helping the Taoist master complete the formation, he would also have to think about how to improve his martial arts.
