It was Jiang Beiran who helped the girl get rid of the guards. When the system didn't pop up the option, he often did things like drawing swords to help when the road was injustice, but he never left his name.
The purpose is naturally to avoid subsequent trigger options as much as possible.
But just when Jiang Beiran was about to put down the silver and leave at a speed invisible to ordinary people, the system prompt suddenly popped up.
[Option 1: Quietly put down the money and leave quickly. Completion reward: Jiuxiao Youjing (Heaven-Level Low Grade)]
[Option 2: Don't continue to care about this matter, complete the reward: Lanxi Gulu (earth-level mid-level)]
[Option 3: Give the silver to the girl face to face and find a reason to leave. Completion reward: Ling Xiao Yao Tu (Earth-level Low-Rank)]
[Option 4: Help the girl to the end, completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'…'
'what? ? ? '
The sudden appearance of the sky-level option stunned Jiang Beiran.
'What's the situation? Am I meeting a female protagonist? If you don't help her to the end, the world will be destroyed in the future? Or is it that she will save my life when I am in dire straits in the future? '
After a little interpretation, Jiang Beiran can see that the first three options of the system almost all express a meaning.
That is, if I just help her, it will not be able to solve the problem at all, and an unknown crisis will immediately entangle me.
Only when all her wishes or worries are completely resolved, can it be considered as "helping to the end".
'It's outrageous...'
Before Jiang Beiran rescued her, he used his mental strength to make sure that she had no cultivation at all and was an extremely ordinary person. He never thought that such an ordinary person could trigger the sky-level option.
But regardless of whether it was too far off the mark, Jiang Beiran still chose four now that the system options had been released.
Putting away the silver that he was going to put down, Jiang Beiran took a deep breath from a distance and walked in front of the girl.
Feeling that the light in front of her was blocked, the girl slowly raised her head, glanced at Jiangbei and said, "Do you want to buy me? I can do everything, cleaning, raising babies, and feeding cows. I have strength."
Glancing at the body behind the girl, Jiang Beiran asked, "How did your family members die?"
"Alas..." the girl sighed, "The village was hit by a plague a few days ago. When I came back from the city... my father, mother, younger brother and younger sister... were all gone."
"The plague..." Jiang Beiran suddenly remembered the village covered in white cloth that he passed by before.
"What's your name?"
"Xia Lingdang."
"It's a poor man, get up, I'll help you bury your family."
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang immediately showed an excited smile on his face: "Master, is he willing to buy me?"
"Well, I bought it."
"Thank you, master!"
Xia Lingdang said that she was about to kowtow to Jiang Beiran, but Jiang Beiran held her shoulder.
"Be a maid for me, you don't need to do these etiquettes, get up, and prepare to give your family the last bit of decency."
"Thank you master, thank you master!"
Xia Lingdang stood up excitedly while talking, then turned around and saluted the five corpses: "Father, mother, we have finally met a kind person, we can be buried in the ground, we can be buried in the ground."
Since she was selling her body to bury the whole family, Xia Lingdang naturally hoped that the family members would be buried in a more dignified way, instead of just rolling them up with a mat and burying them in random mass graves.
Since Xia Lingdang's relatives also died in that plague, the funeral stickers were waived.
Then, with the help of Jiang Beiran, Xia Lingdang took off the simple homemade filial piety clothes and put on filial piety clothes and hats made of linen.
…
"The mourning hall is ready, come with me."
At night, Jiang Beiran, who had gone out to do all the shopping, came back and said to Xia Lingdang.
"Thank you, master!"
After saluting to Jiang Beiran, Xia Lingdang followed Jiang Beiran to the town.
After asking before, Jiang Beiran knew that the place where Xia Lingdang lived was indeed the village covered with white cloth before.
So after finding Xia Lingdang's home, Jiang Beiran found a grass-roots team to do the funeral, and took care of everything.
Pushing open the door, Xia Lingdang found that her family members were already lying beside the five well-prepared coffins. In front of the coffins were all the spirit tablets, spirit flowers, ever-burning lamps, incense burners, and tributes.
It can be said that even if the rich family dies, the master will have this specification.
"This... this..." Xia Lingdang was stunned for a while before looking at Jiang Beiran and bowing: "Thank you, master! I will definitely repay you in the future."
"I'll say thank you later. You should do what you should do at this moment."
"What the master said is, I'll go right away."
Walking to the coffin in the middle, Xia Lingdang went through a whole set of etiquette first, then picked up the razor beside her and bent down.
No matter where, the rules of encoffining are the same.
Before the deceased is put into the coffin, the sons and daughters have to shave the head, shave the face, change the body, and put on the shroud.
After conscientiously grooming the family's appearance, Xia Lingdang picked up pieces of paper money and covered their faces.
Because there is a saying that if you drop tears on the dead, then you will not see the dead in your dreams, so Xia Lingdang held back her tears the whole time, and finished all this with strength.
When Xia Lingdang covered the last coffin, Jiang Beiran looked at her and said, "How long do you usually keep the coffin?"
"Seven days." Xia Lingdang replied.
"Okay, I still have my own things to do, and I'll come here to find you again in seven days."
"Thank you, master, for your kindness..."
But before Xia Lingdang could finish thanking him, Jiang Beiran had already disappeared at the door.
On the way to Qi State, Jiang Beiran was still thinking about what happened just now.
The concept of "helping to the end" in option 4 is too vague, how can it be considered as helping to the end? Is it the end after helping her bury her family? Or do you really want to arrange her in your own home, or even take her by your side as a maid to help you to the end
If it's just arranging a place for her to live in, it's okay to help her to the end, but Jiang Beiran feels that things can't be so simple because she can trigger the sky-level option.
But if he really had to bring her with him all the time, Jiang Bei would have a headache just thinking about it.
He was used to walking around alone, and now he was suddenly asked to wear a "tail", and it was a "tail" with no cultivation. Wouldn't that kill him
"Ugh… "
Sighing, Jiang Beiran decided not to scare himself, and wait until Xia Lingdang's family members are buried.
At dawn, Jiang Beiran came to the frontier defense town in front of Shenmen Pass again.
Finding a teahouse to sit down, Jiang Beiran led Xiao Er to the second floor.
[Option 1: Walk into the Junzi private room. Completion reward: Tianxiao Fantasy Book (earth-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Walk into the Yizi private room. Completion Reward: Strange Tiger Picture (Earth Level Low Grade)]
[Option 3: Go into the Muzi private room. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Okay, I'm familiar with this. '
After choosing three directly, Jiang Beiran said to Xiao Er, "Take me to the Muzi private room."
"Okay~ This way, guest officer, please."
Following Xiaoer all the way to the door of the Muzi private room, Jiang Beiran heard the system prompt the moment he stepped in.
[Optional task completed, reward: Constitution +1]
After sitting down, Jiang Beiran ordered a pot of jade tea, and Xiaoer immediately brought the tea after making a note.
"Master, take it easy, the younger one will leave first, and if you have something to do, just say hello, and the younger one will come right away."
After saluting to Jiang Beiran, Xiaoer closed the door respectfully and retreated.
Not in a hurry to get the teacup, Jiang Bei took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket and wrote a few lines on it, then folded it into a paper crane and let it fly out of the window.
After closing the window again, Jiang Beiran picked up the teapot and made himself a cup.
Smelling the aroma of tea, Jiang Beiran picked up his cup and took a sip.
Because of the weather and geography, the flavor of tea grown in each place is different, so no matter where he goes, Jiang Beiran likes to order some local special tea to drink.
What you drink is not the taste, but the freshness.
After drinking the first cup, Jiang Beiran took out a book and opened it, which recorded his research on Feifu.
It's good to brush up attribute points, but Jiang Beiran still feels uncomfortable without a safe house, so Feifu is still his ultimate dream at this stage.
After taking out a brush to write and draw on the book for a while, Jiang Beiran heard a knock on the door.
'It came quickly. '
Jiang Beiran nodded, and answered the door after closing the book.
"come in."
Then there was only a "squeak", and a figure came in at an extremely fast speed, and closed the door instantly.
"Brother!" Lin Yuyan shouted excitedly.
The so-called not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns. Lin Yuyan's longing for her senior brother has already reached its peak. If Jiang Beiran doesn't come again, she may not be able to control the "missing" in her heart.
"How is things going?" Jiang Beiran asked straight to the point.
"If you go back to senior brother, everything has been set up, and I'm waiting for you to come to check and accept."
"Well done." Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Beiran took a look at Lin Yuyan and said, "Did you wear the jade I gave you?"
When Lin Yuyan heard this, she almost went straight to heaven.
'As soon as the senior brother saw me, he cared whether I was wearing the token of love he gave me. What a hot love this is! Brother... Your love, Yuyan, has indeed been received. '
After a moment of ecstasy, Lin Yuyan pulled the Honghu jade hanging around her neck out of her clothes.
'Hiss...'
When he saw Honghu Jade for the first time, Jiang Beiran felt that there was something wrong with the jade, it was black in the white, and the awe-inspiring righteousness exuded was not so pure.
'The evil spirit in Lin Yuyan's body is so powerful...'
Seeing her senior brother staring at her body, Lin Yuyan had already made eighteen poses in her mind, and her body couldn't help but twist.
Jiang Beiran's original purpose of giving Honghu Jade to Lin Yuyan was to suppress the evil spirit in her body so that it would not dare to show up easily.
However, judging from the current situation, Honghuyu was counterpressed by the evil spirit in Lin Yuyan's body.
'But I underestimated that foreign thing. '
Looking back, Jiang Beiran stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to see."
"Yes!"
Under the leadership of Lin Yuyan, Jiang Beiran easily passed the investigation like last time, and passed through Shenmen Pass to the territory of Qi State.
Then they got on the flying shuttle that Lin Yuyan had prepared, and the two came to a small town together.
"Brother, this is the place." After jumping off the shuttle, Lin Yuyan pointed to a huge mansion behind her.
Jiang Beiran scanned it with mental strength, and praised: "Very good, you really did not live up to my expectations."
The last time when he was about to leave for Shi's house, Jiang Beiran not only gave Lin Yuyan the Honghu Jade, but also gave her a task. The content of the task was to help her find a place with strong aura in Qi State.
Because Jiang Beiran thought that he would definitely come to the six countries frequently in the future, so it was particularly important to establish a base.
A general base would naturally not have any effect, so what Jiang Beiran needed was a place where he could build a self-enchantment.
Since he didn't know the Shi family's attitude towards him at that time, he decided to set up the base in Qi country first, and let Lin Yuyan, a local snake, help to handle it.
Sure enough, the local big family is the local big family, this mansion contains a lot of aura, and there are more than one aura springs, I believe it is a good place for cultivation even in Xuanzong's eyes.
I don't know how Lin Yuyan got it.
"Brother, are you satisfied with this? If not, I have prepared two other places for you to choose from." Lin Yuyan asked cautiously.
"The local snake is awesome..."
Hearing that Lin Yuyan even made three preparations, Jiang Beiran couldn't help feeling that even in the fantasy world, background and relationships are still the most useful things.
Thinking of not seeing it for nothing, Jiang Beiran followed Lin Yuyan to two other places to have a look.
In the end, Jiang Beiran felt that the third place met his requirements in terms of geographical location and aura intensity, so Dang even decided to use this place as his future "outpost" of the Six Kingdoms.
After looking around the entire courtyard, Jiang Beiran sat on the dragon-backed chair in the hall and said to Lin Yuyan, "Take off your piece of jade and show me it."
Lin Yuyan couldn't help but her heart beat faster when she heard it.
"Brother is good or bad... You actually asked me for personal items so blatantly, but why don't you be bolder, brother... If you want to see it, you can just put your hand in and touch it." '
After another wave of trembling, Lin Yuyan took off the swan jade hanging around her neck and handed it to Jiang Beiran.
And just when Jiang Beiran took the Honghu Jade, he only heard a "cang clang", and the white mist sword from Lin Yuyan's waist flew out, entangled Jiang Beiran and rubbed it again and again, expressing a feeling of grievance at the same time.
Touching the Baiwu sword, Jiang Bei was a little surprised why it suddenly acted like a baby, and even more strange why it came to act like a baby at the moment when Lin Yuyan took off the Honghu jade.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence.
"Xiao'er, I know you miss senior brother too, but isn't it too unruly to run out of the scabbard without authorization?"
Bai Wujian let out a "sorrow" after hearing this, and then reluctantly returned to the scabbard around Lin Yuyan's waist.
After watching such a scene, Jiang Beiran nodded and praised: "It seems that you have tamed it."
"No, it's just that our relationship is getting closer, right, Xiao'er?"
After a while, Baiwujian uttered a sword cry, which was considered to be a response to this sentence.
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after reading it, thinking that Lin Yuyan did have some skills, and actually subdued the Qi Ling whose strength was far superior to hers.
'I don't know what method she used. '
