After discussing for half an hour, Jiang Beiran found that Lin Zhengchu's relatively clear statement was considered modest.
This is completely a local snake-level guide. He can answer any questions raised by Jiang Beiran and provide another more suitable solution.
With the help of such an assistant, Jiang Beiran quickly planned his route after entering the Wei Kingdom.
"Is there anything else I need to know about Master Jiang?" Seeing Jiang Beiran looking at the map in silence for a long time, Lin Zhengchu asked.
Jiang Beiran was about to speak, but suddenly raised his right hand, and then saw a paper kite landing steadily on his finger.
"Sorry, please wait for me for a moment."
Since the miasma appeared, all communication magic weapons have lost their effect, and Jiang Beiran's paper kite is no exception.
It wasn't until Gu Liangqian handed him the contact jade pendant not long ago that he remembered that the paper kite was also ready for use...
It's just that the communication range is only in Tong country, and other places shrouded by miasma are still not available. Among Jiang Beiran's disciples, Mo Xia is the only one in Tong country, so Jiang Beiran wrote him a letter as soon as possible,
Just no reply.
And Jiang Beiran is really unable to escape. It can be said that all big and small matters cannot be separated from him. In addition, this matter has come to an end. If Mo Xia really has an accident in this miasma crisis, he will personally
There's no point in looking for it.
Now that he saw this unexpected paper kite, Jiang Beiran knew that it must have been sent by Mo Xia.
Spreading out the talisman paper, Jiang Beiran's heart instantly dropped when he saw the handwriting on it. It was Mo Xia's calligraphy.
There wasn't much in the letter, it was mainly to report that you were safe. I didn't reply before because I was trapped in a voodoo cave. Now that I was successfully rescued, I replied to the letter as soon as possible.
Seeing that Mo Xia was fine, Jiang Beiran felt much better and wrote a letter back to him, to the effect that he told him to take care. Now that Tong State was safe, he would go find him after he finished his work.
After folding the talisman paper into a kite, Jiang Beiran was about to look at the map again when he heard a knock on the door of the conference hall.
During the meeting in the council hall, ordinary matters will not be disturbed, so this knock on the door must mean that there is an emergency.
After exchanging glances with Jiang Beiran, Yan Xiaobo said: "Come in."
The door opened with a "squeak" and a young man came in. Jiang Beiran had no impression of him.
When the young man came in, he first bowed respectfully to all the Xuan Sages, and finally looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Master Jiang, Immortal Guliang has called you here urgently, saying that he has something important to discuss with you."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran stood up and said: "Then everyone, please continue to follow up on the plan we just made and improve it. I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Okay." All the Xuansheng nodded.
Following the young man out of the meeting hall, the two came to Gu Liangqian's temporary residence.
Entering inside, the young man came forward and knocked on the door: "Old ancestor, Master Jiang is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the hall opened automatically, and at the same time, Gu Liangqian came to Jiang Beiran in an instant.
"come on in."
Seeing Master Jiang being dragged into the hall by his ancestor, the young man quickly closed the door.
Just when Jiang Beiran was wondering why he had to be so cautious, a few people wearing linen clothes came into his sight.
These common people looked normal on the surface, but they were all shaking violently.
This kind of trembling is not like the trembling of fear when seeing a big figure like Xuanshengjing, but more like an uncontrollable physical reaction, as if something is about to "break out of the shell" from their body.
"Master Jiang, this is the first batch of people found by the search and rescue team. They were all locked up in a cave. Many of them had already fallen into madness when they were found. These few are relatively normal."
Before organizing rescue operations in other countries, Tong's rescue operations naturally have a higher priority.
It can be said that all the survivors in Yuan City below Xuansheng participated in this operation.
After examining these common people with his mental strength, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood what happened.
'They've all been poisoned...'
From the first time he came into contact with the miasma, Jiang Beiran discovered that it "bullies the strong but not the weak". The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is for the strong to resist the miasma. On the contrary, the common people seem to be fine and will not be affected by the miasma at all.
any impact.
From that moment on, Jiang Beiran knew that these Gu cultivators were not just here for revenge, they were here to conquer the entire Black Dragon Continent.
What's the point of spending so much effort to conquer a barren land? They want all the people of Xuanlong Continent to surrender to them again!
'And this is their method...' Jiang Beiran thought as he looked at the trembling common people in front of him.
"How about it, Master Jiang, can they still treat it?" Gu Liangqian asked worriedly.
As he said, the few in front of him are already relatively normal ones who were locked up in the Gu cave. If none of them can be saved, it will still be a huge disaster for Tong State.
"Some cures, they are just infected with a very simple poison."
Gu Liangqian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If Jiang Beiran said it couldn't be cured, he really didn't know what to do. Do he want to kill all the people of Tong State who were imprisoned in Gu caves?
That is to say, there was a possibility of such serious consequences, so Gu Liangqian first asked Jiang Beiran to discuss it, so as to avoid panic.
"As expected of Master Jiang, I feel relieved with your words."
"How is the overall situation in Tongguo now?"
"Judging from the current reports, those Gu cultivators did not massacre them. When they caught civilians or cultivators, they would be imprisoned in a Gu cave."
Jiang Beiran glanced at Shi Chen and said, "Then I'll go explore those Gu holes first to avoid any future troubles."
"Is it available in time?" Gu Liangqian was naturally the one who knew best how busy Jiang Beiran was at the moment, so he couldn't help but ask.
"This is also a big deal. I don't feel comfortable going out until it's sorted out."
"Okay, let's follow what Master Jiang said." After Gu Liangqian finished speaking, he looked at the young man at the foot of the steps and said, "Yu'er, take Master Jiang to the nearest Gu hole to check."
"Yes!" Gu Liangyu immediately agreed with his hands raised.
"The situation is urgent, so I will leave first."
Arching his hands towards Gu Liangqian, Jiang Beiran followed Gu Liangyu out of the hall.
"Sit in my Feifu." Just when Gu Liangyu was about to speak, Jiang Beiran said first.
"Okay, let's listen to Master Jiang."
It can be said that Gu Liangyu did not dare to put on the airs of a member of a big family in front of this young man whose ancestors were always polite.
He behaves like a five-stripe captain.
Entering Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran pointed at Shi Fenglan and said to Gu Liangyu: "Just tell her how to leave."
"Yes." Gu Liangyu responded immediately, and then walked to Shi Fenglan's side.
Under the guidance of Gu Liangyu, Feifu quickly arrived at the Gu cave closest to Yuancheng.
"Master Jiang, it's right below."
Gu Liangyu pointed to an entrance leading to the underground and said.
Jiang Beiran was about to go down when he saw two old men walking out.
Jiang Beiran felt that the two people looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.
When the two old men saw Jiang Beiran, they immediately raised their hands and said, "Master Jiang."
"I've met two seniors." Seeing the other party being so polite, Jiang Beiran naturally returned the greeting immediately.
After saluting, the old man with the long beard asked first: "Master Jiang came to check the situation in this Gu cave?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, "Before the poison is completely eliminated, you cannot relax your vigilance against any situation."
"What Master Jiang said is absolutely true, then let us accompany you down." The long-bearded old man introduced himself: "Bian Yeliang, a poor Taoist, is the deputy leader of Yuanyang Sect." Then he introduced the old man next to him.
Said: "This is Cang Geng, the seat of the Tianwuzong."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran immediately raised his hands and said, "Nice to meet you."
Regarding the two old men in front of him, Jiang Beiran knew that they were at the level of Xuanzun without any mental examination.
After all, although Jiang Beiran had just saved the entire Tong Kingdom, not many people could actually see him. Except for some of the disciples of the major sects, only the Xuanzun Realm experts had the opportunity to see him in some formal occasions.
After saying hello, the four of them went down to the Gu hole together.
"My benefactor, I have finally found you!"
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to use his mental power to explore the surroundings, an extremely surprising voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Beiran's ears.
Looking back, I saw that it was Dahu in the state of his soul.
Jiang Beiran didn't see Dahu when he came out of the temporary space created by King Gu before. He thought that he had fulfilled his wish and became a Buddha immediately. But now it seems that this is not the case.
"Where have you been? I wanted to celebrate with you, but it's all thanks to you this time."
Dahu can be said to have contributed a lot to being able to crack the formation in Xi Feng Village so quickly this time, otherwise he would never have discovered that those flesh cocoons were the key so quickly.
After hearing this, Dahu quickly waved his hands in embarrassment and said: "How can...it all depends on my benefactor's supernatural powers. What does it have to do with me? After you disappeared just now, I was looking for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you no matter how hard I looked. Later,
I found it all the way here after asking for directions everywhere."
"So... hmm? Asking for directions? Who did you ask for directions from?"
Dahu sighed after hearing this, "There were a lot of resentful souls along the way, so I asked them if they had seen a group of practitioners. Some of them who saw you told me that you were coming this way."
'Are there so many wronged souls...'
Jiang Beiran was a little emotional after hearing this. Even if those Gu cultivators did not directly massacre the people and practitioners, they probably did a lot of non-human experiments with Gu and were tortured to death in the end.
Seeing Jiang Beiran sighing, Dahu also sighed, "Fortunately, my benefactor is here, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died."
During the conversation, four people and one soul had passed through a long passage and arrived at a huge underground cave.
'It's so big...'
Looking at the underground cave in front of him, which was at least the size of a city, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but feel shocked.
But thinking about it, if you want to accommodate the people of a country, it will definitely not be enough if you don't dig a bigger hole.
After marveling, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to examine the densely packed cocoons hanging upside down from the ceiling, and found that they were all ordinary people, but their bodies were all poisoned.
"Didn't you rescue them first?" Jiang Beiran looked at Bian Yeliang and asked.
After hearing this, Bian Yeliang replied: "We dare not act rashly when we are not sure what will happen, but now that Master Jiang is here, as long as you say there is no problem, we will save people immediately."
"Then hurry up and save people. If you stay in that cocoon for a moment longer, you will be in more danger."
"Okay, I'll organize the manpower right away."
After Bian Yeliang left, Jiang Beiran turned his attention to the ground again.
The situation here is almost the same as that in the cellar in Xi Feng Village. There are broken limbs and corpses everywhere, and corpses with distorted expressions are everywhere.
However, in addition to the corpses of the common people, there were also many corpses of the Gu clan. When Jiang Beiran saw this, he asked Cang Geng on the other side: "Are these all just killed?"
"Yes." Cang Geng nodded, "When we first arrived, these Gu cultivators planned to ambush us, but without the protection of the miasma, their strength in all aspects was far inferior to before, especially the regeneration ability, which was completely different from before.
No matter how hard I kill, I can’t kill him.”
In the previous battle at Xi Feng Village, the strongest combat forces among the Gu clan in Tong State must have been mobilized. The remaining ones were at most as strong as Xuan Zun. After losing the huge advantage of miasma, naturally,
It is no longer the opponent of local cultivators.
"Caught alive?"
After hearing this, Cang Geng shook his head, "These Gu clans are very tough. They will blow themselves up if they can't be beaten, and they won't give us a chance to capture them alive."
"That's such a shame."
After sighing with emotion, Jiang Beiran checked his surroundings again, and after finding nothing special, he walked deeper into the Gu cave.
"Tick...tick...tick..."
When passing through a passage, Jiang Beiran noticed that there was blood flowing down from above, so he used his mental strength to look up. However, this look almost made Jiang Beiran, who had seen countless cruel scenes, vomit.
.
I saw countless human corpses squeezed into a small space, with countless Gu worms burrowing around in the blood, making it look like a hell on earth.
'These damn Gu cultivators!'
After clenching his fists, Jiang Beiran continued to walk forward. When he walked out of the passage, Jiang Beiran found that there were holes everywhere in front of him, like a honeycomb, and in each hole there was a human being wrapped in some kind of liquid.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
Just when Jiang Beiran was thinking about what experiments these Gu cultivators were doing, he suddenly heard a burst of sobbing coming from not far away.
Looking towards the direction where the sobbing came from, he saw a woman in a state of soul squatting in the corner of the cave.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran slowly walked behind the woman and used his mental power to communicate with her: "Hello."
Hearing the sudden greeting, the woman in her spiritual state visibly trembled, as if her body was about to disappear.
"Who!? Who!?"
The female soul turned around and shouted in horror.
"Don't be afraid, it's fine. I..."
"Go away! Go away! Go away!!!"
Seeing the hysterical appearance of the female soul, Jiang Beiran knew that she was really frightened and went crazy, so he took out Guqin Duyou from the Qiankun Ring.
