Seeing that the topic had been successfully guided to the direction he wanted, Xu Changqing was slightly happy, but his face did not show it. He deliberately pretended to be confused about what Bo Ji said, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? How could even the creator, you, don't know how to arrange the star map?"

Xu Changqing's reaction was just right. In Bo Ji's eyes, the other party should have reacted like this after hearing his answer. So he smiled bitterly, sighed, and said, "I don't know how to explain this matter. Although this star map was arranged by me from scratch, I often fall into a strange state when I arrange this star map. In this state, I can clearly remember every process of the arrangement, but I cannot understand the meaning of it. It feels like someone is controlling my body."

As he said that, he paused, his face became a little ugly. Obviously, what happened back then made him feel extremely uncomfortable until now. Then he said: "I thought about re-arrangement of a star map afterwards. However, every step I took was the same, but I just couldn't succeed. Even if it was forced to make it, it was just a bunch of dead objects. Just like the stars we see in the sky every night, unlike the stars we now give people a...a, an indescribable feeling, just like these stars are alive."

Bo Ji explained his feelings incoherently, and even gestured with his hands and feet, fearing that Xu Changqing would not understand.

On the other hand, Xu Changqing looked like a qualified listener, with a focused look on his face and nodded from time to time, as if he could understand every word the other party said, which made Berke feel like he met a soulmate.

After listening to Bo Ji's explanation, Xu Changqing pretended to be contemplative. After a while, he slowly said: "Brother Bo Ji, although I can understand most of what you said, it is because it is not for personal experience. Some parts are still not very clear. Unless you experience it yourself, I am afraid...." Speaking of this, he deliberately showed a clear hesitation look. After attracting Bo Ji's attention, he changed his mind and continued: "I have a method that may play a role in something."

"What method?" Bo Ji, who had bitten the hook, asked without hesitation.

Xu Changqing said his method: "This method is called the Dream Heart Sutra. After it is used, it can reawaken other people's past memories, make people sink into the memory and experience the things in the memory again."

Bo Ji naturally considered Xu Changqing's idea and said, "Brother Changqing, what you mean is that you want to cast this spell on me, allowing me to go through the process of distributing the star map again, so as to deepen my memory and find out the problems that have not appeared before, right?"

"Yes! That's what I think." Xu Changqing nodded and added: "You said just now that when you arranged the Star Map, you were completely in a state of trance. In that state, you may not be able to fully remember every step of the Star Map. There must be some things you ignore but are very critical, so your subsequent attempts ended in failure."

After listening to Xu Changqing's explanation, Bo Ji's face showed a hint of hesitation, and was quickly replaced by a firm expression. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I know what you said. I agree that you can use the magic of dreaming about the Heart Sutra on me."

"Wait! Brother Bo Ji, don't rush to agree," Xu Changqing immediately raised his hand to stop it, and said tactfully: "I just mentioned the advantages of this magic. Now you can listen to the shortcomings and then answer it."

Bo Ji frowned and said, "Are there any shortcomings? Let's hear it."

Xu Changqing did not hide it and said truthfully: "The biggest disadvantage of casting this spell is that you must completely let go of all defenses on your body, from physical body to spiritual soul. During this period, you are in the most vulnerable state. Even an ordinary child who has never practiced can easily kill you. Secondly, there is another disadvantage that when casting spells, my soul must enter your soul and control the strength of the spell, so I will see everything you have experienced."

Upon hearing this, Bo Ji looked at Xu Changqing with a strange look, wanting to see something from the other party's expression. Xu Changqing, who had expected it, had a completely honest look, which made people immediately feel the illusion that the person in front of him was honest.

No wonder Bo Ji suspected that Xu Changqing proposed this method with ulterior motives. After all, anyone who has shown his memories of more than ten years in front of another person would feel unacceptable after hearing it. At this moment, Bo Ji couldn't help but wonder whether Xu Changqing wanted to take this opportunity to learn his star map.

However, this suspicious idea was just stuck in his mind for a moment, and Bo Ji himself immediately wiped it out. He even couldn't help but laugh at himself as he was thinking too much, especially because Xu Changqing wanted to take the opportunity to secretly learn his star map, which made him feel even ridiculous.

The reason why Bo Ji's attitude suddenly changed is entirely because the amazing knowledge that Xu Changqing showed when discussing various astrology and numerology with him in recent times has surprised him. In his opinion, the value of what Xu Changqing said through conversations and discussions these days is no less than that of his own star map. How could the other party do such a thing?

What's more, in just a few days, Xu Changqing had already solved the arrangement of the peripheral astrological map, and even made up for the incomplete parts that even Bo Ji could not repair. As for this part of the astrological map, Xu Changqing's understanding and control level was far beyond his positioning master. In his opinion, Xu Changqing did not need to spend such extra thoughts at all. He only needed to study for a period of time and the star map could be completely parsed by him.

However, when Bo Ji took the initiative to explain Xu Changqing's behavior, he did not know that Xu Changqing's real purpose was actually what he suspected. He wanted to use Bo Ji's complete memory of the star map to master the star map filled with countless foreign astrological signs in a short time, thus touching the treasure at its core.

Bo Ji, who put down his guard and doubt, began to consider his gains and losses in this matter. Xu Changqing did not disturb him and quietly waited for him to make the final decision.

After a while, Bo Ji nodded slowly and said, "What preparation do I need to make?"

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Just find a safe place. When casting spells, you and I will be in the most vulnerable state, so..."

"I have a safe place." Before Xu Changqing finished speaking, Bo Ji responded, and then took Xu Changqing out of his mansion and walked towards the Beppu of Heaven. After entering the Beppu of Heaven, he took advantage of his position in Beppu to lead Xu Changqing into the inner courtyard in Beppu that was set as an ordinary scholar in Beppu, and passed a garden dressed as a small forest, and came to a slightly quiet stone house.

After Xu Changqing walked into the stone house, Bo Ji closed the door of the stone house, and then used mana to use a strange pattern on the stone house door. As the walls inside the stone house were lighted up, illuminating the dark stone house interior, and forming a layer of defensive sealing, isolating the inside of the stone house from the outside.

Bo Ji explained: "This is a reclining room, specially used for literati who serve in the Beppu of Heaven. It was built by the priests of Litian Palace in the beginning of its establishment. This formation in the stone house is also the divine formation of Litian Palace. There are only a few people in the lower realm of Jiuzhou who can break this formation. We should be safe here."

While Bo Ji explained the origin of the stone house, Xu Changqing was also exploring the power of the magic circle in the stone house in another way.

Compared to Bo Ji's simple explanation, Xu Changqing's exploration provided him with more secrets about this stone house. At least Bo Ji did not know that the magic circle in this stone house was not just used to defend against foreign enemies. Its most fundamental function should be to extend the lifespan of the scribes in Beppu, the Tiangong Palace.

When the magic circle arranged in the stone house was stimulated by Bo Ji, Xu Changqing felt that the inside of the stone house was completely isolated from the outside world's turtle-backed world. In other words, if scholars like Bo Ji often practice in this stone house, their energy and spirit can be preserved well and will not be withdrawn by the laws of the outside world, and their lifespan will naturally be extended in disguise.

"Are there few people here?" Xu Changqing felt the situation in the stone house, then looked at the thick dust accumulated on the ground and the surrounding tables and chairs, and asked.

While sweeping away the dust on the ground and leaving a clean place, Bo Ji responded: "The priests of Litian Palace may have made mistakes when they built this stone house. Those who were reclining here will feel very uncomfortable after leaving. Many of them may even show signs of decline in their cultivation. Therefore, no one will come except those who cleaned the stone house. In recent decades, even those who cleaned the stone house have rarely come."

Hearing Bo Ji's answer, Xu Changqing just smiled without a trace, his smile was full of sarcasm. This sarcasm was not only aimed at those scribes of Beppu, who were ignorant of Jingshan Jade, but also targeted Litian Palace. It was obvious that the priest deliberately did not tell the true situation of the stone house to the scribes here, nor did he explain some precautions. This caused the current misunderstanding and made the scribes in Beppu lose the opportunity to extend their lifespan.
