I Just Won't Play By The Book - Chapter 758: Descending the Mountain

A week later, in front of the array formation deduction disk in the Shadowmoon Tower.

Yan Guangqing’s hand, which had been suspended in midair, dropped several times as he looked at the Secret Lotus Array that had extended out before him. However, he slowly raised his hand each time.

Jiang BeiRan thought carefully for a moment and reached out his hand to push aside the North Void on the Xuanwu. He then changed the formation’s eye and three nodes, changing the position of the Azure Dragon’s tail.

Yan Guangqing frowned after reading it.” With such a change, the outcome of the Secret Lotus Array will change. Even if the connection is barely completed, the Secret Lotus Array itself will collapse. The result will definitely be…”

Without waiting for Yan Guangqing to finish, Jiang Beiran waved his hand and said,””Sect Master Yan, the basis of a conclusion lies in the relationship between the solar terms and the heavenly stems and earthly branches. However, it is not applicable here, so this junior has thought of a new solution.”

As he spoke, Jiang Beiran glided through the air above the formation plate and drew a diagram of the nodes on it.””Although the solar terms and the heavenly stems and earthly branches are rooted in the calendar, if we don’t consider the calendar and only consider the relationship between the solar terms and the heavenly stems and earthly branches, that is, the relationship between the Jia

Ji Fu and the solar terms.”

Yan Guangqing rubbed his chin and asked after a moment.

“Ignore the calendar? Then how should he choose the Yin Escape or Yang

Escape?”

“Use the method of dismantling and mending to solve it.”

Dismantling and Patching Method!?” Yan Guangqing’s voice was filled with surprise. He had not expected Jiang Beiran to come up with such a plan.

“That’s right.” Jiang Beiran then drew a talisman head on the node diagram that he had just drawn.” The connection array should not be separated into individual arrays. Instead, it should be viewed as a whole. In that case, there must be a ‘connecting point’ and this talisman head is very suitable.”

As he spoke, Jiang Beiran made a demonstration, simultaneously setting up the Shijiao and Kuilou games.

“Using these two games as an example, as long as the A and I talisman heads and the solar terms are at the same time, they will become you in me, I in you.”

Yan Guangqing nodded his head in approval after reading it, but he soon questioned,””So how do you plan to make up for the lack of the calendar?”

“Junior has already said it just now. With the time of Jiaojie as the boundary line, the stem and branch of the festival are determined according to the three elements. Moreover, the middle qi of the winter solstice at Si: 00 on the day of Jiazi can only be used as the upper game of Yang escaping from Tianyuan. Before the morning, it can only be used as the upper game of Yin escaping from heavy snow.”

Yan Guangqing was stunned for a moment before he slapped his thigh and shouted.

“Wonderful!”

Yan Guangqing then looked at the Secret Lotus Formation that Jiang Beiran had just adjusted. His train of thought was instantly cleared. As long as he followed Jiang Beiran’s suggestion of dismantling and repairing, he would not have to worry about the matter of settling down. The flexibility of the formation would be greatly improved.

“Good boy! This old man said that you were silent yesterday, staring at the same game in a daze. So you were thinking about this solution.”

Jiang Beiran smiled and replied,” This is all thanks to Sect Leader Yan’s inspiration for the Embellishment Method.””

“Hahaha, good, great!” With this change of train of thought, Yan Guangqing’s understanding of the formation connection was completely different from before. Many of the problems that he couldn’t solve before were now solved.

However, before he could be happy for long, Yan Guangqing frowned again.

“However, there is still a problem. If the solar terms are used as the boundary, the first five days are the upper yuan, the middle five days are the middle yuan, and the last five days are the lower yuan. If we only use the stems and branches to determine the situation, we will lose the flow pillar.”

Jiang Beiran sighed and said,’”‘Sect Master Yan is indeed very perceptive. That’s right, this junior hasn’t thought about this point clearly, which is why I didn’t directly use this method to set up the connection formation.”

Although Yan Guangqing looked disappointed, he still smiled and said,’”‘lt’s already a great breakthrough for you to be able to think of a dismantling and mending method. As for Liu Zhu…How about replacing it with the Five Luck and Six Qi?”

“This junior has thought about this before, but fate and feng Shui cannot be avoided. If you want to use it as a replacement, you must first solve these two problems.”

“It is indeed as you said…” Yan Guangqing also started to ponder.

“Sect Leader Yan.”

Just as Yan Guangqing was thinking about how to fix this loophole, he suddenly heard Jiang Beiran calling out to him. He replied excitedly,””You have a new idea?”

“No, I wanted to tell you that there’s something important that I need to go back to do, so I planned to take my leave after noon.”

“What? You’re leaving?” Yan Guangqing’s eyes widened.

He had gained a lot from his discussion with Ran. The young man was always able to come up with fresh ideas. Although they were not mature at first, they would soon become perfect under their discussion.

It had been a long time since he had gained something from the array formation every day.

Therefore, when he heard that Jiang Beiran wanted to leave, Yan Guangqing naturally could not accept it.

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded affirmatively.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Why don’t I send someone to help you deal with

Jiang Beiran shook his head.” Thank you for your kind intentions, Sect Master Yan. However, this matter can only be handled by me. Besides, I like to travel around when I encounter problems that I can’t solve. That way, it’ll be easier for me to figure things out.”

Hearing Jiang Beiran’s words, Yan Guangqing could only say regretfully, ‘”‘That’s the only way.”

Yan Guangqing sighed as he walked down the deduction board. He revealed a reluctant expression and said,”lf you think of any way to make up for it, hurry back. If I find anything, I’ll write to you..”
