404 The Cost of Maintaining It Is Too High (1) Ever since he had attracted the attention of more and more powerhouses, Jiang Beiran had begun to consider the issue of moving his headquarters.

Although the Returning Heart Sect’s back mountain strictly prohibited outsiders from entering, and he had also set up a large array at the entrance, what if Lu Yinlong wanted to go to the back mountain to take a look one day? Or was the Returning Heart Sect destroyed?

This might expose his secret.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran had been thinking about where to move his base camp. The self-protection barrier he had encountered that day was a very good choice.

If Jiang Beiran hadn’t been guided by a ghost that day, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to detect the presence of a ward space.

Before he left the self-protection barrier, Jiang Beiran had basically understood the composition of the other party. Therefore, the first thing he did after he came out was naturally to complete his self-protection barrier and move the headquarters over.

To create a self-protection barrier, the first thing to do was to choose a place with abundant Spiritual Qi. Therefore, Jiang Beiran immediately thought of the mansion he had bought.

After confirming that the spiritual energy in the courtyard was enough to create a self-protection barrier, Jiang Beiran turned to Gu Qinghuan and said,””Go do what you should do.”

“Yes, senior brother.”

Gu Qinghuan cupped her hands at Jiang Beiran and left the courtyard.

After observing the layout of the courtyard, Jiang Beiran took out an eight-inch, twelve-gold, twenty-nine-layered Mystical Meteor Disk from his Cosmos Ring.

The compass was also known as the compass. It was regarded as a divine artifact that was all-encompassing and could govern the world. It was an indispensable part of metaphysics.

Any item had a grade, and the compass was no exception.

From the most basic Yin Yang Compass and Three Yuan Compass to the five inch three gold twenty layer Golden Jade Hall Compass and the seven inch six gold twenty five layer Eastern Calming Compass.

Although it wasn’t said that the more layers the compass had, the more layers it could control, the more powerful the diviner was.

Jiang Beiran’s eight-inch, twelve-gold, twenty-nine-layer Mystical Meteor Plate contained Qimen Dunjia, Taiyi, Ba Zi, Da Xiao Liu Ren, and other metaphysics. Each layer had its own academic usage.

Jiang Beiran walked to the center of the courtyard with the Mystical Meteor Compass in hand and began to observe the changes in the compass.

No matter what kind of compass it was, the middle layer must be the Heavenly Lake with the golden needles, because it was the foundation of everything.

The rules, the weight, and the radius were all determined by it.

The meridian of the golden needle is divided into two parts. The two parts combine Mao and You to form the four images. The four images give birth to the Eight Diagrams. The Eight Diagrams determine the position. Therefore, the Way of Heaven is formed, the Way of Earth is flat, and the Way of Man is established.

When the golden needle began to spin, the man began to recite the incantation.

The twelve directions on the compass were not written in the north, south, east, west, and north. Instead, they were written in the north, and the twelve earthly branches were written in the north. They were also called the twelve mountains.

‘The five stars shine, illuminating the five directions.’

As the recitation ended, the golden needle in the Heavenly Lake began to rotate. Finally, it slowly pointed at the [Shen] position and nodded up and down like a chick pecking at rice.

” Nodding from top to bottom means that there’s a place underground that can move Qi. Not bad. I didn’t expect that a casually bought mansion would actually be quite suitable for setting up an array.’

After confirming the location, Jiang Beiran looked at the third layer of the Greedy Nine Wolf Plate. This layer was the power of the River Map and the Book of Luo. It was created with the images of heaven, earth, and man.

“Wearing nine shoes, three on the left, seven on the right, four on the shoulders, six on the feet, and five in the middle.”

“I’m worried about my father, and I’m afraid that the Xinren waterway will dry up.”

” Tsk, there’s still a murderous aura. Looks like I’ll have to put in some effort.’ “Hu…”

Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief and took out a peach wood sword from his Cosmos Ring.

“Looks like I’ll have to put in some effort ~”

Three months later.

Bear Eight was chopping firewood in the backyard. This was his daily job.

“Hey!”

With a shout, the axe in Bear Eight’s hand chopped down with all its might, and the firewood on the wooden stake broke with a sound.

He picked up the linen cloth and wiped his sweat. Bear Eight, who had already finished half of his work, was about to rest for a while when he saw his master walking out of the garden.

“Boss, good morning.” Bear Eight put down his axe and shouted.

Hearing Bear Eight’s shout, Jiang Beiran turned around and nodded at him.””Morning.”

Then, he turned around and left.

After the boss left, Bear Eight was about to sit down and rest when he saw Spring Ya tiptoeing towards the garden.

Bear Eight immediately shouted,”Spring Lass!” What are you doing!”

Spring Ya, who was shocked, took a few steps back. She patted her chest and said,”Big Brother Da Xiong, you scared me to death.”

“Didn’t Boss tell you that the garden is a forbidden area?”Xiong Ba asked as he walked towards Chun Ya.

“Yes…” Spring Ya lowered her head and replied.

“Then why did you go in if you knew?”

“I’m not trying!” Chun Ya hurriedly shouted,”I’m just…” I want to take a look.”

“I can’t even look!” shouted Bear Eight.

Chun Ya pouted and looked at Bear Eight carefully.””Brother Bear, aren’t you curious why Boss has to stay in there for so long every day?”

“That’s not our business. Go, go, go. Go back quickly. If I catch you again, I’ll tell Butler Zhu and ask him to kick you out.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. I won’t dare to do it again. Brother Bear, don’t tell Butler Zhu. Otherwise, where can I find such a good family to work?”

“It’s fine as long as you know that the boss is good. If it weren’t for the boss, we would have starved to death outside. So as long as it’s the boss, we have to obey, understand?”
