Chapter 2575 The source of the drawings is doubtful
"So, according to normal circumstances, it will take five months to get the remaining formation drawings from that person?" Duan Chongtian shook his head, "Shangyuan Sect can't wait for so long, so you have to get them as soon as possible, preferably within half a month."
"Then I'll try to use more spirit stones to satisfy him," Xiao Pisheng's first solution to the problem was to use money, and he didn't think about using violent means first. "Through yesterday's contact with him, I found that this person was a little greedy, and maybe enough spirit stones could impress him."
"Getting the formation drawing is only one. Secondly, you have to figure out how that person got the drawing?" Duan Chongtian said, "If these two can be done at the same time, Fellow Daoist Xiao's method is feasible."
"Chu Mingqi said that the formation drawings were inherited from his father. I believe this statement. Chu Xiangtian is also a master of formations. He has the ability to design such a special magic array above me."
Xiao Pisheng explained that he believed that the source of the formation drawings was fine and there was no need to investigate clearly.
But Duan Chongtian shook his head: "Some things are still in the speculation stage, and I can't explain them clearly to fellow Daoist Xiao. Thank you for your kindness. It is important to figure out the true source of those formation drawings. Of course, I didn't say that Chu Mingjia's statement was problematic. Everything needs to be investigated before it is clear."
Xiao Pisheng was surprised and asked: "Is there a problem with the source of the formation drawing?"
Seeing Duan Chongtian pursed his lips and said nothing, Xiao Pisheng had to stop and understood that since the other party had said something that could not be said, he would not say it. He was just a little uneasy and was not sure whether Chu Mingqi would also get him into an unknown vortex.
After a while, Xiao Pisheng pondered before speaking: "Sect Master Duan, since I have to figure out the source of the formation drawings, my method may not work."
Duan Chongtian nodded. If he followed the other party's method and got the complete formation drawing first, he might be alarmed. He thought it would be better not to contact Chu Mingqi first.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao arranged for someone to stare at that person. He first stared at that person for ten days and half a month. If there is any situation or other matters, contact Elder Ye through Elder Ye. I will return first. Some things must be reported to the sect leader in person."
Duan Chongtian quickly made arrangements.
"No problem, the Xiao family can arrange a group of people familiar with Yongchuan City to keep a close eye on Chu Mingjia. Sect Master Duan has more specific instructions on keeping an eye on this person?"
Xiao Pisheng didn't want to ask for advice after the other party left because of the details. What's more, now he is asking about the situation in front of the other party, and if something bad happens in the future, he doesn't have to take the blame.
"Keep paying close attention to Chu Mingjia's contact with people. If there are many people around him who were not in his social circle before, and these people have only appeared recently and are strangers, then pay special attention." Duan Chongtian reminded.
"Is Master Duan suspected that Chu Mingjia was in contact with a certain force?" Xiao Pisheng twitched his cheek, and he didn't want this to happen the most.
If this is the case, he may have been regarded as a target of exploitation by Chu Mingjia. The so-called selling of the formation drawings to him might be a conspiracy.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn't have to be surprised. Now we have no evidence, and I don't have any doubts about it. Just let Daoist Xiao keep an eye on this person." Duan Chongtian comforted, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xiao, things won't involve you."
"Okay." Xiao Pisheng nodded, and had to believe so, "I will take charge of this matter myself."
Duan Chongtian still reminded him specifically: "Fellow Daoist Xiao also pays more attention to Chu Mingjia. Whenever there is an unusual situation, just contact Elder Ye directly no matter when or where."
Xiao Pisheng naturally agreed and later sent Duan Chongtian away and started to arrange the arrangements.
The Xiao Sect is also a sect force. Most of the sects in it are not surnamed Xiao. Xiao Pisheng selected a total of ten people, of which there are as many as six of the Xiao family. After all, it is definitely more reliable to use the Xiao family to do such things that Shangyuan Sect attaches great importance to.
Xiao Pisheng was in charge of the Xiao family and arranged tasks for the ten people. Five of them were responsible for monitoring Chu Mingjia's shop and investigating all the situations around the shop. The other five were responsible for following Chu Mingjia after leaving the shop. No matter where Chu Mingjia went, even if he just went to a noodle restaurant dozens of meters away from the shop, he had to try to keep up.
In addition, ten people must cooperate. When conditions permit, they enter the store to monitor Chu Mingjia. In short, through cooperation, they strive to get closer to Chu Mingjia.
Of course, the general premise is that Chu Mingqi cannot be noticed.
These ten people are naturally incomparable to the elites of Shangyuan Sect, but they have rich experience and are the best candidates for Xiao Pisheng to find.
"Let's go now and go to Yongchuan City. Each of you has a jade slip that can contact me. Remember, don't alert me. If there is any situation, report it to me directly."
Xiao Pisheng issued an order, watching the ten people leave, while he was silent, thinking about something.
Duan Chongtian was obviously doubting the magic array represented by the formation drawing. In other words, the other party thought that the formation drawing also had problems, but he was puzzled. What problems could the relics left by Chu Xiangtian have?
Could it be that Chu Mingjia deceived him that those formation drawings were not designed by Chu Xiangtian?
"Chu Mingqi, Chu Mingqi, don't throw a ball of trouble for me!"
Xiao Pisheng regretted doing business with Chu Mingjiao, and regretted reporting the formation drawings to Shangyuan Sect.
...
Chu Mingjia found that the person sitting in his shop was facing away from him, and his back was very familiar. After walking to the side of this person, he finally confirmed the other party's identity 100%.
"The guest official came so timely? I thought you would be a few days later." Chu Mingjiao saw that the shopkeeper had already received the guest surnamed Chen, and planned to exchange a few greetings first and then invite the other party to the back room for a conversation.
Every time he met his father Chu Xiangtian, he would talk about the situation of the magic circle. The last time he learned about it was the latest situation. He could tell him what he could tell his father and tell the guest.
this
The guests arrived very early. Today is the first day of the fifth month, so the four months have just passed, and it hasn't been more than one day, so the guests came here.
"It's just not busy, so I came to Yongchuan City at the same time." Wang Lun looked at the shopkeeper, the guy, and the only customer in the store. None of these people had any suspicious places. However, if you want to talk to Chu Mingjia, this occasion is definitely not suitable.
"Haha, I'm not busy either. I can entertain you well." After that, Chu Mingqi reached out and invited the other party to go to the back of the store to discuss things.
The two left, and the shopkeeper continued to receive the only customer in the store, without paying attention to the matter in the back room. Anyway, the boss had no instructions, so he didn't need to pay attention to anything. He would neither go to the room by himself nor let the client sneak in.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, four months have passed. How is the situation of that magic circle?"
Wang Lun asked Chu Mingjiao, knowing that he could figure out the progress of Chu Xiangtian's formation through Chu Mingjiao's mouth.
Chu Mingjia knew everything he should say or not. His father taught him, so he directly narrated according to what Chu Xiangtian taught him.
The magic array was indeed very complicated. My father said that he had basically not started in the past four months. He was thinking and drawing pictures. He occasionally used array materials to arrange them to verify what he thought about.
Therefore, in the past four months, the array material was not consumed. Because the formal array layout was not started, there was no question of failure in array layout and no lesson was learned.
What I can talk to my guests is what I thought about in the past four months.
"...Basically, the model of this magic array has been established. The array will be officially deployed in the next four months. With the increase in the number of failures in the array, the loss of the array material will increase. I will summarize the lessons of failure, summarize the experience, and leave it to inform you next time I meet with the guest."
Chu Mingjia repeated the content that his father Chu Xiangtian had explained, and the content finally ended.
"Fellow Daoist Chu analyzed the formation model to determine how high the chance of his success in setting up the formation?" Wang Lun asked after hearing this.
If you want to do it well, you must first sharpen your tools. Chu Xiangtian did not formally set up the formation for four months, but did preparations. The progress of the formation was almost zero, but he felt that this was normal and would not urge him.
"Full of confidence," Chu Mingqi smiled, "maybe it is the time required to successfully deploy the formation. The fluctuation range is very large. It may be completed in seven months and eight months, or it may take thirteen or fourteen months."
"The period we agreed on is one year, but as long as the magic array can be arranged, it doesn't matter if it exceeds the period two or three months." Wang Lun said.
Chu Ming bowed his hand to express his gratitude and asked again: "Does the guest officer need to ask me about the progress of the formation?"
Wang Lun shook his head.
