The next morning, Jiang Beiran woke up in the guest room of Li Fucheng’s house. After folding the bedding, he stretched and walked out of the door.
“Ah, Brother Wang, you’re up so early.”Tang Tingshuang, who was drying clothes in the yard, wiped her wet hands.”Wait a moment. I’ll help you prepare breakfast.”
Without waiting for Jiang Beiran’s reply, Tang Tingshuang slipped away.
The master bedroom door was pushed open with a bang, probably because he heard Tang Tingshuang’s shout. Li Fucheng ran out and said,””Brother Wang, did you have a good rest last night?”
“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded.
“Then you should rest for a while. Huo Zhishang’s news should be back soon.”
‘ Yes.” Nodding, Jiang Beiran asked again,” Is there any news from Crescent Valley?””
Hearing that Big Brother Wang was so concerned about this matter, Li Fucheng immediately replied, “Today’s news hasn’t been sent back yet. Please wait a moment, I’ll rush him now.”
“There’s no hurry. Since there’s no news, it means that there’s no special situation. “After saying that, Jiang Beiran returned to his room. Before closing the door, he turned his back to Li Fucheng and said,””l still have some things to do, so don’t disturb me for two hours.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Brother Wang close the door, Li Fucheng immediately became a guard. After a while, Tang Tingshuang ran over with porridge and some side dishes.
“Is it for Brother Wang?” Li Fucheng looked at Tang Tingshuang and asked. “Yes,” Tang Tingshuang nodded.” Young Master, do you want to eat some too?”
“En, we’ll leave these here. Big Brother Wang has something to do and asked us not to disturb him.”
“Oh, oh.” Tang Tingshuang nodded and stopped in her tracks. She handed the tray to Li Fucheng and continued, “Young Master, then you can eat these. I’ll wait in the kitchen. Call me when Brother Wang comes out.”
Li Fucheng nodded with a smile,”Thank you for your hard work.””
‘What’s there to be tired of? I’ll go then. “After saying that, Tang Tingshuang ran toward the kitchen.
After Tang Tingshuang ran far away, Li Fucheng looked at Big Brother Wang’s room again. He could faintly feel a mysterious feeling coming from inside.
‘I wonder what kind of miraculous thing Big Brother Wang is doing.’
At that moment, Jiang Beiran was sitting in front of the incense burner in the room, praying sincerely.
When the ceremony was over, Jiang Beiran took out thirteen spirit sandalwood sticks from his Cosmos Ring.
This incense had the ability to communicate with heaven and earth. It was the treasure of Qingyang Temple in Lanzhou. Every year, all kinds of people would beg for it.
Jiang Beiran had given this task to Gu Qinghuan a long time ago. Now that he was back, Gu Qinghuan had finally gotten the incense.
Jiang Beiran lit the thirteen spirit sandalwood incense sticks one by one and began to close the ceremony and recite.
Burning incense was a ritual method to convey one’s wishes, so there were naturally many details.
The third incense stick was to pray for oneself, the sixth incense stick was to pray for two generations, the ninth incense stick was to pray for three generations, and the thirteenth incense stick represented the completion of merit, which was called high incense.
After reciting the prayer, Jiang Beiran held the incense stick with his left hand up and his right hand down. He raised his head high and bowed three times.
Jiang Beiran placed the thirteen incense sticks into the incense burner and bowed three times.
After the ceremony, Jiang Beiran took out the map of Liang that Luo Wenzhou had brought him from his Qian Kun Ring. At the same time, he took out the three-legged black copper toad used for divination.
This was also a treasure that Jiang Beiran had just acquired. Wu Qingce had obtained it after helping a Taoist priest in distress.
As the saying went,” A phoenix would not perch unless it was a parasol tree, and a golden toad would not perch unless it was a land of wealth.”
Of course, wealth didn’t refer to money. All valuable treasures were wealth, so using the three-legged toad to seek treasures or to guard the house had the intention of seeking wealth.
The three-legged black copper toad Wu Qingce had given him had the Big Dipper carved on its back and the Tai Chi on its head. Although the workmanship was not meticulous, it was very spiritual. When Jiang Beiran held it for the first time, he felt as if he was communicating with something unknown.
Jiang Beiran didn’t know if he was a deity of this world, but he knew that he was indeed a superior existence.
Jiang Beiran felt that Wu Qingce might have had the chance to become a main character, since he was so familiar with the plot.
Giving a roadside beggar a steamed bun and getting the Buddha’s Palm or something was too much of a protagonist.
After shaking the Three-legged Dark Bronze Toad three times, Jiang Beiran pushed its head down and shook it hard!
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”
The Three-legged Black Bronze Toad spat out three black copper coins.
The three black coins didn’t fall down immediately after landing on the map of the Country of Liang. Instead, they began to circle around the map.
Turning clockwise, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, three copper coins, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle, one circle,
“Dandang!”
A moment later, the first black copper coin fell down first, followed by the second and third after a long time.
The place where the first black copper coin landed was marked on the map as Crescent Valley.
“This Crescent Valley can actually produce such a precious thing?”
The reason why Jiang Beiran asked Luo Wenzhou to draw a map was for divination purposes. Of course, the map had to go through some special treatment.
The map, which had been strengthened by the array and prayers, had the ability to simulate coordinates, which could help Jiang Beiran perform divination more accurately.
In this divination, Jiang Beiran had asked for the location of the treasures in the Liang Country. Three copper coins represented three results, and the first one to fall represented the best treasure..
