Chapter Twenty-Eight: It is very important to be able to read a map

At the time of the "undercurrent surging" in the entire Luoxia Town, Jiang Beiran and his party had already walked far away, and they were standing on a plain and looking around at this time.

"Huh...... I followed the map, so what's wrong. Liu Zijin took a map and looked left and right, but he couldn't find the right route.

"Let me try." Fang Qiuyao said and took the map over, looking at it for a while, looking at it backwards for a while, and even looking at it obliquely when she was in a hurry, but she just couldn't see the reason, and her pretty face was flushed.

"Don't look at us...... We don't understand this either. ”

Seeing Fang Qiuyao cast her eyes on her side, the three sisters of the Yu family waved their hands in unison.

Sighing helplessly, Fang Qiuyao looked at Senior Brother Jiang who was sitting on a big rock not far away and drinking water.

Soon after leaving Luoxia Town in the morning, the senior brother told them that the next road was up to them, after all, "seeing the map and knowing the road" is a necessary skill when going out, otherwise you will get lost in the deep mountains and old forests as soon as you go out, so what can you expect to do?

At first, Liu Zijin could barely recognize the route on the map, but after walking for two hours, she became less and less aware of where she was on the map.

"Or ...... Let's go ask my brother. Fang Qiuyao put down the map and looked at the other people and said.

The three sisters of the Yu family nodded and said separately.

"Agreed."

"But who's going to go?"

"Senior brother will definitely murder us."

In fact, on the way, they had already asked Senior Brother Jiang several times about the map, and the first few times Senior Brother would answer patiently, but every time they asked the question they had asked before, Senior Brother would "teach" them, so they were a little afraid to speak.

Fang Qiuyao looked at Jiang Beiran, looked at the map again, and was just about to grit her teeth and say, "I'll go." ”

I saw Liu Zijin take the map in her hand and say, "Then I'll go." ”

"No, Sister Zijin, how can I let you be scolded by my senior brother every time."

Liu Zijin shook his head and smiled: "It's okay with me, isn't it just for us to go down the mountain to learn new things?" A few scoldings are nothing. ”

"But ......"

"Don't say it, you're waiting for me here." After Liu Zijin finished speaking, he took the map and walked towards Jiang Beiran.

Looking at Liu Zijin's back, the three sisters of the Yu family were moved and said in unison: "Sister Zijin is really a good person. ”

With some anticipation...... Oh no, in a nervous mood, Liu Zijin came to Jiang Beiran and saluted and shouted, "Senior Brother Jiang." ”

"Can't see the way again?" Jiang Beiran stuffed the water hyacinth into the Qiankun ring and looked at Liu Zijin and asked.

"Yes...... Where there is no official road, it is really difficult to identify. ”

"Didn't I teach you to keep an eye out for the nearby mounds? Have you forgotten again? ”

On the Xuanlong Continent, which does not have a navigation system, the common people naturally have their own way reading methods, such as setting up a mound of earth every five miles out of the road, which is called a mound.

Some of the main roads even have guards who are responsible for managing and maintaining them.

Hearing Jiang Beiran's questioning, Liu Zijin lowered his head and said, "It's Zijin who is stupid, and I ask my senior brother to punish him." ”

'Here we go again......

Jiang Beiran didn't know if this Liu Zijin was too strong because of her personality, as long as she couldn't answer the questions she asked during the conversation, she asked herself to punish her.

'Am I so cruel in their hearts?' ’

Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran jumped off the boulder and took the map in Liu Zijin's hand.

On the premise of taking mountains and rivers as the benchmark, the center of the map is drawn in the center of the largest Xihua City in this area, and the approximate location of various mountains and rivers in the jurisdiction is drawn around, and finally the names of each village and town are filled in to the corresponding mountains or rivers.

However, this kind of drawing may sound very clear, but in reality, it seems that the map is a mess of mountains and mountains.

Rolling up the map, Jiang Beiran said: "In fact, the fastest way to learn to read a map is to learn how to draw a map." ”

"Draw a map?" Liu Zijin wondered.

"That's right, when you understand how this map is drawn, you will also understand how to follow the drawing method."

"I see, sure enough, senior brother has a way." Liu Zijin's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Come, take this book and take a good look at it, it should help you." Jiang Beiran said as he took out a copy of the "Picture Catalogue" from the Qiankun ring and handed it to Liu Zijin.

"Thank you, brother." Bowing to Jiang Beiran, Liu Zijin took the "Illustrated Catalogue" with both hands and looked at it.

Looking at Liu Zijin reading the book seriously, Jiang Beiran also began to think about the next arrangement.

The reason why Liu Zijin and the five of them suddenly had to be self-reliant was that as an iron seal, in addition to protecting the rookie disciples, teaching them some common sense was also within the scope of Jiang Beiran's duties.

Especially the one who handed over his favorite disciples to him, if he returned to the sect and found that they hadn't learned anything, he would inevitably come to trouble him again.

Therefore, looking at the most basic skill of knowing the road by looking at the map, Jiang Beiran still decided to train them.

Half an hour passed, and Liu Zijin closed the book and said to Jiang Beiran: "Senior brother, I seem to understand a little. ”

Jiang Beiran nodded after listening: "Well, then continue to find the way." ”

It turns out that Liu Zijin is indeed very smart, and he quickly found his official way after understanding the trick of recognizing the way.

"It should be Jifu Village in front." After a fork in the road, Liu Zijin pointed ahead and said.

"Wow! Sister Zijin, you are so amazing! Fang Qiuyao couldn't help but clap her hands.

"It's the senior brother who showed me a great book, and the things written in it are very easy to understand, which is very helpful for recognizing the way."

"Books? What book? Fang Qiuyao asked.

"That's it." Liu Zijin showed the "Picture Catalogue" to Fang Qiuyao.

"Show us too." When the three sisters of the Yu family heard this, they also came over curiously.

"Painted ...... Fig...... Record. Softly reading out the three big characters on the cover, Yu Guiqi said: "I wrote it down, and I will buy a copy to read it when I go back." ”

Liu Zijin didn't say anything after listening to the smile, although she was not sure, but she felt that this book should be written by the senior brother himself, because between the lines and those who can publish books, it is too different, giving people a very casual feeling.

Putting the "Catalogue" back away, Liu Zijin walked up to Jiang Beiran with the other junior sisters and asked, "Senior brother, what should we do next?" ”

Jiang Beiran glanced at them and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

After thinking for a while, Fang Qiuyao replied first.

"You should go to the village first and ask how those children disappeared, and find out the time and place first?"

Several other junior sisters also agreed after hearing this.

But Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, "You will only startle the snake by doing this." ”

Looking at the five blank faces, Jiang Beiran explained: "When we received the task, we knew that the children in Jifu Village were frequently lost, which means that the prisoner may still be committing crimes, or even lurking in the village, once you go to inquire, you will inevitably reveal your identity as a disciple of the Guixin Sect, if you let the prisoner listen, you will naturally be much more cautious, and even no longer commit crimes." ”

After hearing this, Liu Zijin and the others nodded again and again: "What Senior Brother said is so reasonable, but if you don't ask, how should you investigate?" ”

Jiang Beiran smiled slightly and replied, "There is no need to investigate, just wait quietly for them to commit the next crime." ”
