Hua Xiangyun has been catching up on a lot of knowledge these days, but she has never actually heard of this before. It seems there is still a lot to learn.
Wu Chenxi said, "Although this formation is said to trap gods, it is actually aimed at those ancient ghosts that have existed for thousands of years. This formation has existed for nearly a thousand years. At that time, it only trapped a new soul. If there was no grudge, they would not have schemed like this."
Trapping the new soul in this formation prevents him from connecting to the underworld to reincarnate. If he is an extremely wicked person, it's not so bad; otherwise, he is truly wicked.
Thinking of the life-swapping method her disciple had mentioned before, if it were true, Wu Chenxi couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. Those trapped here were just too unlucky.
Yuan Tianjing floated onto his own grave mound. "Master, can this formation be broken?"
Wu Chenxi replied calmly, "This formation is too ancient; I've only heard of it."
But I'll have to go back and do some serious research to find the real solution. I wonder if any of the manuscripts left by my ancestors recorded it?
Yuan Tianjing was somewhat disappointed. He thought that the person in front of him was Hua Xiangyun's master and should have considerable skills, but he did not expect that he would only bring him a little hope.
But they couldn't afford to offend anyone now, so Yiyuan Tianjing directed a group of rabbits to bring some jewels and place them in front of the master and apprentice.
"Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the two masters have gone to great lengths for me. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Seeing how good he was at handling things, Wu Chenxi told Hua Xiangyun to accept the gifts.
In their line of work, they don't work for free; this is the compensation they deserve.
After circling the mountain again and carrying two pheasants, the master and apprentice returned to the end of the county.
"Don't get involved in this matter lightly, and don't make any promises lightly," Wu Chenxi said after returning to her own territory.
"Isn't something wrong here?" Hua Xiangyun wasn't stupid; her master must have noticed something.
"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I always feel like this was deliberately set up by someone." Wu Chenxi felt she needed to give her apprentice another good lesson. "Don't believe the lies. The older the story, the more likely they are to use tricks to deceive others."
We only live for a few decades, while he lived for nearly a thousand years. We may not be able to match his cunning and strategy; we can only rely on our own carefulness.
However, we can check the address he mentioned. Don't just believe everything you hear; some things are only superficial.
Hua Xiangyun: "Master, can you break that formation correctly?"
Wu Chenxi hadn't expected her to grasp the key point so quickly; a thoughtful and perceptive child was even more endearing. "How did you figure that out?"
“Your teachings just now,” Hua Xiangyun thought for a moment and said, “You must be on guard against Yuan Tianjing, so you must have your own countermeasures.”
As long as the formation isn't broken, one can learn more and avoid recklessly causing trouble.
Wu Chenxi told Hua Xiangyun to go back to cultivate, then turned around and guarded her room. She vaguely remembered reading somewhere that it was related to the origin of this formation...
Hua Xiangyun felt even more pressured, as there was so much to learn.
In her original time and space, she had never encountered ghosts or monsters that were thousands or hundreds of years old, which shows that the world in this book is a world of its own and cannot be viewed according to the course of her memory.
Seeing her working so hard, Jiang Yi didn't dare to disturb her and began to focus his attention on matters outside.
When Hua Xiangyun finally stopped studying to catch her breath, she realized that the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than half a month.
"You finally remembered me," Jiang Yi said, inviting the man into the main room. Luckily, the ungrateful little thing had come to his door today, otherwise he would have gone over and dragged him out.
Jiang Yi didn't ask about his cultivation, but instead busied himself preparing delicious food for her, feeling that he had lost weight these past few days.
"How's my braised beef?" Jiang Yi placed the sliced braised beef on the table and prepared a dipping sauce for her.
Hua Xiangyun: "Where did this come from?"
You should know that beef is very scarce. Nowadays, there is no such thing as beef cattle. Draft cattle are treated with extra care in each production team. They will not be slaughtered unless they are too old to move.
She had been here for so long and this was the first time she had ever seen beef. Even if she hadn't seen it before, the sight of it suddenly appearing in front of her made her mouth water.
"Don't worry, it's all legitimate," Jiang Yi said, pouring himself another small glass of wine. "I won't let you try this one, you're not even eighteen yet."
If it weren't for the exaggerated tone in the numbers, I would have believed it.
Besides, she wasn't fond of the drink in the first place; her eyes widened as soon as the beef entered her mouth.
"This is definitely not your cooking, is it?" Although their Taoist temple was poor, they still hired a cook to prepare three meals a day, so they never had the chance to cook.
“Why can’t this be my cooking?” Jiang Yi said with a smile. “When I first went abroad, I ate the same old dishes for every meal. Chinatown was far away, so I couldn’t improve my meals. Later, I learned how to cook by myself online.”
These words were spoken lightly, but Hua Xiangyun knew the bitterness behind them.
He also felt some resentment towards Master Jiang, who suddenly threw Jiang Yi abroad without a transition period, and how difficult the early days must have been.
"Then you've turned misfortune into blessing. I'll be in for a treat from now on." Hua Xiangyun lowered her head and stuffed two mouthfuls into her mouth before saying, "But you'll have to teach me your cooking skills. I can't keep taking advantage of you."
Jiang Yi was comforted by these words and secretly pleased. It seemed that Hua Xiangyun had already planned him into her future life, and the subtle influence she had been having these past few days had already had an effect.
"You don't need to lift a finger. I can cook many other dishes, and I'll show you how to make them all." Jiang Yi poured her a cup of tea and placed it aside. "Would you like me to make you a bowl of noodles too?"
Hua Xiangyun shook her head. "Don't bother with this in the middle of the night. This is enough. What have you been busy with these days?"
Jiang Yi instantly felt that the grievances he had felt over the past few days had finally been soothed. "Seeing how seriously you were studying, I didn't dare to disturb you. As for this beef, I got it a couple of days ago. I originally wanted to stir-fry it for you, but you haven't had time, so I could only braise it for now."
Oh, and this too, keep it.
Hua Xiangyun looked puzzled but still took it. When she opened it, she found it was a house deed.
Seeing that familiar address, Hua Xiangyun never expected that Jiang Yi would take over the Wen family's house and even put her name on it.
"We can leave that place even if we don't live there now. I took a walk around the area, and the location looks good for the future." Jiang Yi was quite knowledgeable about feng shui, so he decided to secure such a good wealth spot first.
Hua Xiangyun asked curiously, "How much did you buy this for?"
Given how shrewd those three siblings are, they won't get ripped off, will they?
Jiang Yi naturally investigated the three Wen siblings, and dealing with them was a piece of cake.
"It didn't cost much money. The siblings were a bit guilty and couldn't wait to sell the house. I ended up getting a bargain."
