Chapter 344 If I can't beat them, I'll give up.
Seeing the astonished look in his younger brother's eyes, Jiang Yuwei coughed lightly and explained, "I was just curious about the function of this defensive jade pendant. Anyway, I have twelve chances to save my life, so using it once to confirm won't hurt. It'll put my mind at ease, won't it?"
Jiang Yuchuan was speechless: "I've already tried, so there's no need for you to waste another chance, brother."
Jiang Yuwei asked in confusion, "Have you tried it?"
Jiang Yuchuan said, "Yes, I used it before when we wiped out the Demonic Sect. At that time, the Demonic Sect set up a poison trap. A few of his men accidentally triggered the trap, and everyone else fell down, but I was fine."
Not only was he unharmed, but the two people who were with him at the time were also unharmed.
In other words, this defensive jade pendant can protect not only itself, but also the people around it.
The range was roughly within one meter of him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei's eyes lit up, and his expression shifted constantly, his face displaying a rather peculiar expression.
Jiang Yuchuan had never seen his serious older brother show so many emotions before, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yuwei remained silent for a long time before saying, "Second brother, you have given birth to a wonderful daughter."
He sighed deeply: "God's favor is a magical thing; you can't be envious or jealous of it."
From his teenage years to his youth and into middle age, he was always competing with his second younger brother.
For example, his younger brother has a talent for martial arts, so he practices martial arts relentlessly.
Since his reputation in the martial arts world was not as good as his younger brother's, he studied military strategy and tried his best to contribute to the martial arts world.
Even when it came to marriage, he secretly competed with his younger brother. If his brother married a chivalrous woman from the martial arts world, he would marry a woman from a martial arts family.
Even his care for Chen Ruolan was only because Chen Ruolan loved Jiang Yuchuan deeply, and he secretly cared for her.
He secretly competed with his younger brother his whole life, believing that he was no less than his brother in any aspect.
Unexpectedly, at the very last moment, we lost because of the quality of our child.
All his children combined are no match for a single hair on his little niece's head.
Jiang Yuwei gave up.
Humans are just strange like that.
When you feel that you are only a little bit behind the person in front of you, you will try your best to catch up with them.
But if the other party is in first place by a wide margin, even if you are second, you will not have the desire to catch up.
After all, it has reached a level that can no longer be measured by ordinary standards; one should say that the other party is already a god.
God.
How can man catch up with God?
So, that's it.
Yu Zhiyi was unaware of her uncle's strange thoughts. After leaving the ruins, she didn't rush to look for anyone. Instead, she found a secluded corner and opened the book she had received from Ji Guangdai.
There is no inherent good or bad in formations, talismans, or elixirs; whether they are good or bad depends on the person using them.
So when she caught a glimpse of the bird-controlling talisman in the pages of the book, she decided she had to learn it.
Although the bird-controlling talisman contains the word "bird," strictly speaking, it controls not live birds but paper cranes.
Fold the bird-controlling talisman into a paper crane, and the paper crane will transform into the shape of a bird. It can be used for tracking and surveillance, and even has a certain load-bearing capacity.
Yu Zhiyi found it strange that Ji Guangdai hadn't used such a good talisman to monitor her.
As for why she was certain that there were no such talismans around her, it was because she had already set up a defensive array on Ming Mountain. If any foreign object broke in, she would be able to receive the news immediately.
But after all this time, apart from that evil cultivator, no one suspected of being from the Xuanmen sect has broken into Mingshan, and there has been no fluctuation of spiritual energy.
In fact, she had a feeling about the intrusion of the evil cultivator, which is why she was able to react immediately when he made his move.
When you turn to the page about the Bird-Controlling Talisman, you'll understand. It's not that Ji Guangdai didn't want to use it, it's that he couldn't.
Although the Bird-Controlling Talisman is only a low-level talisman, it requires a very high level of spiritual power because the paper cranes rely on spiritual power to move. Once the spiritual power is cut off, the talisman will turn into a real paper crane, with nothing special about it except for a bunch of scribbles drawn on it.
Before Yu Zhiyi could even test the strength of that evil cultivator, he was killed by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. But Ji Guangdai was just a weakling in the mid-stage of Qi Refining and had no ability to control the Bird Control Talisman.
Fortunately, her talisman drawing practice these days can be considered another form of cultivation, and her current cultivation level is almost at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
The bird-controlling talisman she drew could operate indefinitely within a radius of 100 meters.
Even if you are within a hundred meters of her, you can stay there for a whole day and night.
That's enough time.
Yu Zhiyi drew three bird-controlling talismans in one go.
It wasn't that she couldn't continue drawing, but rather that controlling too many birds at the same time was becoming too much for even her to handle.
Three, not too many, not too few, just right.
With the help of the Bird-Controlling Talisman, the investigation became much faster.
In less than an hour, she had surveyed the area within a dozen miles of Juxianzhuang.
Although the three birds did not possess human consciousness and could potentially be paralyzed by certain formations, they could fly at high altitudes. Even if they could not discern anything amiss, the information they transmitted was clear and intuitive enough for Yu Zhiyi to easily identify the clues with a little analysis.
Although multitasking is very mentally taxing, the results are good.
At that time, a lot of people had gathered near the killing formation, all of them servants of Juxian Manor and villagers from the surrounding area.
After all, the commotion caused by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman was terrifying; people within a radius of several miles could hear it.
Jiang Yuchuan and the other person had already hidden themselves. Yu Zhiyi did not disturb the crowd. After meeting up with the two, she told them the results of her investigation.
"So, as long as we keep this information a secret, we won't be in danger," Jiang Yuwei said.
Yu Zhiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, that's how it is, so this matter must be kept completely under wraps."
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. As long as the traces are cleaned up, there shouldn't be any problems.
As for that evil cultivator on the mountain, she had already burned him to ashes with a fire-controlling talisman.
With no trace of the person, whether alive or dead, no matter how powerful the other party's backers are, they should be unable to trace it back to Mingshan.
"Let's go back," Jiang Yuchuan said.
Yu Zhiyi was still thinking about the evil cultivator's backer. Upon hearing this, she nodded and subconsciously followed him back up the mountain.
The moment she entered the courtyard, she slapped her forehead: "I knew I'd forgotten something."
She wanted to destroy the luck-changing array on the young master of Juxian Manor.
As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Ji Guangdai did all of this, and he and Chen Ruolan and her daughter benefited from it. Why should the young master of the manor bear all the blame for them?
Although Ji Guangdai is dead, Chen Ruolan and her daughter are still alive!
Besides, this kind of thing isn't something that can be settled simply by dying. Transferring someone else's luck is a serious crime, even in the underworld.
If this cause-and-effect relationship is not corrected, Ji Guangdai can escape punishment.
She was unwilling to see this vicious person escape justice.
