Walking slowly to the hut with a very "temperament" that he visited last time, Jiang Beiran raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.
Then there was only a "squeak", and the wooden door opened automatically.
Looking inside, the decorations in the house are still so hellish, and even this time the walls are still oozing blood. I don't know if the hut is dying of illness, or there is really something strange embedded in the walls.
At this moment a flame suddenly flared up and lit a candle that was placed on the table.
"Please hand in the greeting card before you come next time."
Tang Jingran's voice was still so cold, without any emotion at all.
Jiang Beiran saluted after listening: "I'm sorry, I was rude, so can I come in now?"
"Can."
"Thank you."
Jiang Beiran nodded, let Ling Dang stay outside, and led Mo Xia into the hut.
When Mo Xia came in, Tang Jingran took a look at him, and instantly understood who gave the ghost cultivation method Jiang Beiran was going to last time.
Sitting at the table, Jiang Beiran first glanced at the ferocious brat who was still clung to her neck, and then asked Tang Jingran, "It seems that your taming has not had any effect."
"Because he still refuses to tell me why he died."
Because he was taught a lesson by Jiang Beiran last time, the kid was still a little apprehensive when he saw Jiang Beiran, but the hands that tightly hooked Tang Jingran's neck did not relax at all.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran inspected Tang Jingran's body mentally, and said, "As a partner, I have to remind you that your body is seriously damaged, if you continue to let this brat haunt you like this If you do, you will most likely die."
"I'm already dead."
'Fuck! '
Jiang Beiran never expected that Tang Jingran would give him such an answer.
Although Tang Jingran didn't look like a normal person from head to toe, from the inside out, including his voice, Jiang Beiran always thought that he just had a personality, and he didn't expect to be a dead person.
Then did she come back from the corpse... or was she dead but not stiff? In addition, why can she keep this form alive, and even cultivate...
For a while, a lot of questions came to Jiang Beiran's mind, but the one he wanted to express most was...
'This is a fucking ghost cultivator. '
But Jiang Beiran also knew that these questions should not be asked casually, so he continued after sorting out his disrupted thoughts.
"Okay, if I didn't say it, there are two things I want to ask you to help me with this visit. One, do you know what is so special about this ghost behind me?"
In fact, Tang Jingran noticed a crane-robed ghost following another man when he entered the door from Jiangbeiran.
So after hearing Jiang Beiran's question, Tang Jingran replied, "What is the special thing you mean?"
In fact, judging from Tang Jingran's lack of reaction when he brought the crane robe ghost into the house, Jiang Beiran felt that he might not gain anything today.
Now that Tang Jingran still asked herself, she was even more disappointed.
Because all kinds of performances showed that Tang Jingran had obviously never seen such a ghost.
So Jiang Beiran turned his attitude of asking for advice into an academic discussion, and described: "First, he can't speak, second, he can teach people exercises, and third, he can kill ghosts, and he is the kind that is difficult to deal with." ghost."
After hearing this, Tang Jingran replied, "Then his cultivation level may have been very high during his lifetime."
"Maybe?" Jiang Beiran was obviously not satisfied with such an uncertain answer.
"Yes." Tang Jingran nodded, "My master once taught me..."
'There is still a master? '
When Tang Jingran said the word master, Jiang Beiran was stunned again. Last time he learned from Tang Jingran that ghost cultivators are lone wolves walking alone. Why did a master appear again all of a sudden
Putting his doubts to the bottom of his heart, Jiang Beiran continued to listen to Tang Jingran.
"The more powerful a cultivator was during his lifetime, the more things he would be sealed after turning into a ghost, such as memory, language, exercises, insights, etc., everything would disappear, and he would usually act according to his obsession or preference during his lifetime. "
'I see… '
After listening to Tang Jingran's explanation, Jiang Beiran felt that everything was logical.
'So it seems that the Hepao Ghost should be a very powerful person in his lifetime, and an expert who reached the pinnacle of Go. '
"Then... is there any way to wake up his memory?" Jiang Beirang tried to ask.
"I don't know." Tang Jingran's answer was still so straightforward.
"Thank you for your enlightenment, then the second thing." Jiang Beiran Mo Xia pushed him to the table, "I hope you can teach him how to practice."
"I never teach."
"What about adding money?"
"How much to add."
'It's so real...'
With some complaints in his heart, Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and replied, "How about five land-level low-grade spirit stones, plus a yellow-level spirit pill of your choice?"
"make a deal."
"Okay, now that the deal is concluded, I have to make two requests."
"Can."
"One, the price I gave is not low, so what I want is not only to teach him the four atmospheres of ghost cultivation, but also how to control ghosts and possess people. This is reasonable."
"Reasonable."
"Second, help him subdue a ghost general and assist him in fighting. The best thing is...you should know what I mean."
"I don't understand."
"..."
'I'm talking to the dead, I'm talking to the dead, I'm talking to the dead...'
After convincing himself in his heart, Jiang Beiran continued: "I mean, it's better to let this crane-robed ghost become his ghost general, can you?"
"I try my best."
"Okay, it will be fine with your words."
For people who don't get prompted by this kind of system at all... Oh, dead people, Jiang Bei is absolutely at ease, so there is no need to say anything more.
"Mo Xia, she will be your teacher on the road of ghost cultivation from now on."
"Yes! Thank you, Master."
Although this place is a bit old, dark, strange, and full of ghosts, Mo Xia, who has lived in the swamp for a long time, has long been used to this environment. So no problem at all.
After the two things were settled, Jiang Beiran looked at Tang Jingran and said, "Okay, you can tell your request, which yellow-grade pill you want."
"Zhi Cao Dan."
Jiang Beiran was taken aback when he heard Tang Jingran's request, and then felt that her request was extremely reasonable.
The function of Zhicao Dan is to revitalize the dead meat and treat stubborn diseases and old injuries.
If Tang Jingran is really a dead person... this Zhicao Dan can completely "alive" her body.
"No problem, it's just... If you want to fully restore your body's vitality and keep it going, one Chicao Pill is not enough."
"It's ok."
"..."
'It seems that you have to go straight to communicate with the dead. '
"I mean, if you still want more Zhicao Dan, you can exchange it with me."
"Okay, I will find you when I want to change."
"Then it's settled." Jiang Beiran got up and patted Mo Xia on the shoulder and said, "Since you want to become stronger, don't cry and stick to it. Of course, if you give up someday, You can send me a letter, and I will pick you up."
After hearing this, Mo Xia immediately bowed and said, "I will definitely not let Master down!"
"Okay." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he patted Mo Xia on the shoulder twice, and walked towards the outside of the hut.
"When you come back next time, remember to post a greeting first."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to walk out of the hut, Tang Jingran's cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
"remembered."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he closed the door.
"Master...Master, you have come out."
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to take out the cirrus tube, he noticed that Xia Lingdang's legs were shaking violently.
In doubt, Jiang Beiran asked, "Can you see those ghosts too?"
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang trembled all over, and replied with a vibrato: "Master...Master, you...don't scare me, I can't see anything."
"Then why are you shaking?"
"This, this, this place is very dark... more scary than the mass grave behind my village."
Jiang Beiran understood as soon as he heard it, this place is no problem for people with strong mental power like him and Mo Xia, but if the mental power is not strong enough, even Lu Yangyu, who is King Xuan, will be scared when he comes, even more so. Not to mention Xia Lingdang who just started practicing.
Seeing Xia Lingdang talking more and more, Jiang Beiran quickly blew out auspicious clouds and took her away from here.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
After Jiang Bei ran away from the "underworld" hut, Xia Lingdang finally recovered slowly, and the shaking was not so severe.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran handed over a cup of hot tea and said, "Sorry, I didn't think about you. If you feel unwell next time, you can tell me."
"No, no, it's not the master's fault." Xia Lingdang waved her hands, "Blame me for being timid, it's so useless..."
"It has nothing to do with being timid. Anyway, if you encounter such an uncomfortable situation in the future, don't hold back and tell me."
"Yes... Thank you, master." Xia Lingdang said as she took the teacup.
Looking at the host who took out another volume of books and began to read, Xia Lingdang sighed inwardly while drinking tea.
Although the host usually looks like he is not close to strangers, he is actually very kind and always silently prepares for all those who need him.
'I really followed a very good master. '
…
At Yinshi, after Jiang Beiran got another point of [Desperation], the ten system options were full again.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Beiran directly drove the cloud to find a valley and descended.
'Um? '
When he landed, Jiang Beiran was surprised to find that there were people living in the valley, and a whole village at that.
And he was surprised because the valley was obviously not suitable for human habitation, there was no fertile land suitable for growing food, and there was no water source.
It is precisely because this place is obviously not suitable for human habitation that he chose to stop here.
Looking at an old man at the entrance of the village who was only skin and bones from a distance, Jiang Beiran took out a set of worn linen clothes from the Qiankun ring and handed it to Xia Lingdang, "Go to the village to find out what's going on."
"Yes!"
It was not the first time Xia Lingdang had done this kind of probing work, so after changing his clothes skillfully, he ran to the village.
It was only about time for a cup of tea when Xia Lingdang hurried back.
"Master... Master, it's bad, everyone in this village is so hungry that they want to eat their children!"
Jiang Beiran sighed after hearing this, took out a bag of cakes from Qiankun Ring and handed it to Xia Lingdang, "Go and distribute it to the villagers."
"Yes! I'm going now!"
"and many more."
Hearing the master calling to stop her, Xia Lingdang quickly stopped and said, "Does the master have any orders?"
"Take these too." Jiang Beiran said and threw a Qiankun ring to Xia Lingdang: "There are water bags inside, do you remember how to use the Qiankun ring?"
"Remember! Remember! Then I will go."
Watching Xia Lingdang's back gradually go away, Jiang Beiran sighed again.
Just as he thought, this valley can neither cultivate land nor have water sources, and there is no other possibility to live here except to wait for death.
As for why they live in such a desolate place where rabbits don't poop, Jiang Beiran can basically guess that, after all, he has seen too much.
This time, it took about a stick of incense before Xia Lingdang finally ran back.
After bowing to Jiang Beiran, Xia Lingdang lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, master, those villagers insisted on kneeling me after eating cakes and drinking water, pulling me and not letting me come back, that's why I Coming back so late…”
"Are there no villagers following you?"
"I... I ran fast, they didn't catch up."
Jiang Beiran nodded after listening, indicating that he understood.
"Master... there is one more thing."
"Say."
"A lot of people in the village are sick... they are almost dying."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran changed into a Taoist robe, took out a dust whisk from the Qiankun ring and said, "Go, take the poor Taoist to have a look."
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang immediately grinned, she knew that the master had the best heart.
Following Xia Lingdang to the entrance of the village, they heard a voice shouting before they entered.
"The female Bodhisattva is back! The female Bodhisattva is back!"
Immediately afterwards, a group of people was seen rushing towards Xia Lingdang.
"Everyone give way, everyone give way, this gentleman is here to see a doctor in the village."
When the villagers saw Jiang Beiran's benevolent, fairy-like appearance, they hurriedly stepped aside, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The gods have appeared! The gods have appeared!"
Passing through the crowd, Jiang Beiran turned back and asked, "Who knows where all the patients are."
At this time, a young man in the village who was barely fit stood up and shouted, "I'll take you there!"
Seeing that the Taoist leader nodded in agreement, the young man immediately led Jiang Beiran into the village.
After entering the village, a sense of desolation came over us. There were so many people living there, but there was no fireworks at all.
The skinny children secretly hid behind the house or at the window and looked at him curiously, without any cover on their bodies.
Although he has seen many such villages, Jiang Beiran still couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
There is no such thing as Peach Blossom Spring, those people who have left their hometowns for various reasons and hid in the wilderness of the valley, their final result is starvation or freezing to death.
Almost without exception.
