The moment Jiang Beiran walked down from Fei Mansion, he heard all kinds of beautiful songs.
People on the street were singing and dancing. At this moment, there was no distinction between cultivators and civilians, the strong and the weak. Everyone gathered together to celebrate the hard-won victory.
"It's Master Jiang!!"
"Master Jiang is back!"
"Master Jiang! You saved everyone! Thank you! Thank you very much!"
…
Looking at the men, women, and children rushing toward him, Jiang Beiran waved to them, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, continue the party. I have some important things to do, so I won't accompany you."
Hearing the word "business" from Jiang Beiran's mouth, everyone immediately made way for them, not daring to delay anything.
"Thank you."
Arching his hands towards the people on both sides, Jiang Beiran went to the residence he had arranged for several ghost cultivators.
Knocking on the door, it was Yu Shumu who opened the door for Jiang Beiran. The jade mask showed a smiling expression and said to Jiang Beiran: "Please come in."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran followed Yu Shumu to the hall and found that Taoist Zhan Yi and Xu Meiying were both there, but Gu Liangren was missing.
"Mother-in-law, how are you?" Jiang Beiran stepped forward and asked.
When Cao Jinghua and other Xuan Sages were resurrected last time, she was the one who sacrificed the most and the one who was injured the most.
Hearing Jiang Beiran's concern, Xu Meiying smiled and said: "Hahaha, old lady, my bones can still withstand the torture. It's just that most of my practice has been damaged and a little of my foundation has been damaged. It's nothing serious."
"..."
Hearing Xu Meiying use the kindest tone and express her utmost misery, Jiang Beiran had no choice but to hand over her hand and said: "My mother-in-law has really worked hard this time. If there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to tell me."
"Hehehe." After hearing this, Xu Meiying's face suddenly showed a happy smile, "Old lady, I don't have anything to help. As long as Master Jiang remembers what he promised me, it will be fine."
"Don't worry, when everything is over, I will definitely go back with my mother-in-law."
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved that Master Jiang still remembers me. Of course, it's not important that I go back with the old lady. What's important is to meet my granddaughter. Trust me, you will definitely like her."
At this time, Taoist Zhan Yi on the side couldn't help but said: "Bei Ran, the injury I suffered last time was no less serious than this old... mother-in-law. You have agreed to her such harsh request, do I have to...
"
Xu Meiying was not happy when she heard this. She glanced at Taoist Zhan Yi and said, "Old lady, why are my requirements so harsh? Come on, explain it to me clearly. Otherwise, I will have to follow you even if I don't give up the rest of the Taoist deeds."
You tell the difference."
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, don't get excited, be careful of your back." After apologizing to Xu Meiying, Taoist Zhan Yi looked at Jiang Beiran again, his expression full of "you know".
Arching his hand towards Taoist Zhan Yi, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said: "In the future, if Taoist Master has anything to do, just ask him. This time, I am not the only one who owes you a favor. Those Xuan Sages who have resurrected from the dead also owe you a big favor."
favor."
"No." Taoist Zhan Yi waved his hand immediately after hearing this, "I can't afford Xuan Sheng's favor, I just want yours."
Jiang Beiran also knew that Guixiu and Xuanxiu would not deal with them, so he nodded and said: "Okay, that's what the Taoist Master said."
"Okay, but after finishing this job, I plan to rest for a while. I don't have anything I want for the time being. I will come to Master Jiang for help when I encounter trouble in the future."
"Easy to say."
After saying hello, Jiang Beiran got down to business and said, "Where's Dahu?"
"Oh, I practiced all night, and now I'm tired and fell asleep."
‘???’
'Do ghosts also want to sleep?'
Jiang Beiran was really confused by the truth of these words. He never expected that ghosts could fall asleep from exhaustion.
"Do you want me to call him?"
"That's not necessary..." Jiang Beiran shook his head, "I came here mainly to break the formation."
"Break the formation?"
Taoist Zhan Yi was stunned for a moment, then said: "What you are talking about...couldn't it be the formation that sealed hundreds of thousands of innocent souls like before?"
"Exactly, there are still five such formations to break."
"hiss……"
Taoist Zhan Yi couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this, because he also had the same thought as Jiang Beiran in his mind.
Seeing Taoist Zhan Yi gasping for air, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but ask: "Taoist Master, if we break the formation like last time, can Dahu withstand the power of those wronged souls again?"
"To be honest, I don't know either." Taoist Zhan Yi shook his head, "I said that Dahu's situation is unprecedented and he has no experience to draw from, so I don't know how far he can grow."
"Then...will something go wrong?"
Taoist Zhan Yi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't matter at this point. Those wronged souls did not force their power on Dahu, but gave it to him in a friendly way. If Dahu really can't accept it, then he won't accept it.
.”
When Jiang Beiran heard that it made sense, he immediately felt relieved.
At this time, Xu Meiying on the side said: "If Dahu can really accept the power of these millions of wronged souls... I'm afraid even the other side city will have a chance to break into it."
"City on the other side?" Jiang Beiran asked curiously after hearing the new term.
But without waiting for the answer, the Taoist Taoist told him first: "Don't stop, I also expect the big tiger to help me in the future, don't you send him to death." Then he looked at Jiangbei Ran again
He replied: "You have already seen Santuchuan last time, right."
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"Bian'an City is located in the Santu River. Legend has it that the most ferocious red ghost is sealed away."
Jiang Beiran nodded, and then asked: "What kind of place is Santuchuan? Could you please help me clear up my doubts."
After listening to Jiang Beiran's question, Taoist Zhan Yi glanced at Xu Meiying and said, "Are you coming or am I coming?"
"Then let me tell you."
But just as Xu Meiying was about to speak, Taoist Zhan Yi interrupted: "Forget it, I'll do it, I'm afraid you can't explain clearly."
Xu Meiying rolled her eyes after hearing this, but did not refute, because Taoist Zhan Yi was indeed the most influential among them regarding Santuchuan. After all, he was the only one who could stay there for a long time and explore the place.
There are more than them too.
"To put it simply, Santuchuan is the world of ghosts. People who lose their longevity will go to that reincarnation. The reincarnation of ordinary people is naturally reincarnated and lose all memories."
"But some practitioners who have practiced secret techniques can retain their memories through forbidden techniques, and use special methods to activate them after reincarnation."
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran nodded clearly.
He has heard about Xuansheng's reincarnation several times, and it should not be considered a secret among cultivators.
Not to mention Xuansheng, he has seen the reincarnation of Emperor Xuan.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Beiran asked: "Does this forbidden method have something to do with Santuchuan?"
"Smart." Taoist Zhan Yi smiled slightly, "This is also the reason why Xuan Cultivator keeps suppressing us ghost cultivators, because if they offend us, we can make their reincarnation fail, and even prevent them from reincarnation forever!"
'hiss……'
After listening to Taoist Zhan Yi's words, Jiang Beiran instantly understood why they tried so hard to hide their identities as ghost cultivators.
Jiang Beiran did not ask the question "Why have the two parties not thought about reaching cooperation?"
As a result, the ghost cultivators are weak and their numbers are too small, so they are not qualified to sit at the negotiating table.
Xuan Xiu doesn't want to give them any ground for development. He just wants to strangle all these dangerous factors in the cradle. Only letting the ghost cultivator disappear completely on the Xuanlong Continent is the best guarantee for them.
This can be said to be in line with the thinking of a great power.
Those with similar strengths will join forces, while those with weak strengths will be annexed or eliminated.
The ghost cultivator is obviously classified into the "annihilation" category.
After saying this, Taoist Zhan Yi sighed, "It's a pity that the training conditions for ghost cultivators are too harsh. Otherwise, if we could recruit a wide range of disciples, how could we be afraid of those mysterious cultivators."
At this time, Xu Meiying also sighed and said: "Who says it's not the case? It's rare enough that ordinary people can practice, but those who can practice as a ghost are even rarer. Finding a good disciple is even harder than climbing to heaven.
"
After hearing this, Taoist Zhan Yi spat and said to Jiang Beiran: "So if it weren't for your sake, Master Jiang, I wouldn't have sacrificed my cultivation to save those birdmen."
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran almost understood the ghost cultivator's situation.
They are powerful in themselves, but their numbers are too small. Once their identities are exposed, they will inevitably attract a large number of Xuan Sages to encircle and suppress them. In that case, no matter how powerful they are, they will not have any chance of winning.
The reason why they wanted to help them this time was firstly because they wanted to sell Gu Liangren's face, and secondly because they knew that they had the potential to become their protective umbrella.
Facts have proved that their bet was indeed right. Now, who in the six countries, no, in the entire Xuanlong Continent, would not give face to his name Jiang Beiran?
This provides a great guarantee for their survival.
"Don't worry, Taoist Master, as long as I'm here, no one will hurt you."
After hearing this, Taoist Zhan Yi laughed and said: "I know that Master Jiang is a bright person, so we will all point to Master Jiang from now on. Of course, if Master Jiang needs help in the future, we will definitely be willing to go through fire and water."
Not a single word of complaint.”
After finishing speaking, Taoist Zhan Yi waved his hands and said: "That's too far, too far. Let's continue to talk about the Santu River. I just said that Santu River is actually the realm of ghosts. The rules there are completely different from those in the earth.
Likewise, it’s hard to explain clearly in just a few words, you have to go there yourself to understand.”
"Then how can I go to Santuchuan like Taoist priest?"
"Hehe." Taoist Zhan Yi clapped his hands, "Even if your question is right, then naturally my cultivation method is different from theirs. If Master Jiang is interested, I can also teach you."
"Then what's the benefit of going to Santuchuan?"
As if expecting Jiang Beiran to ask this question, Taoist Zhan Yi replied directly: "There are many benefits. As long as you subdue a powerful soul, it will be worth several years of hard work. In the other three journeys, regardless of the Yin Qi or
There are much more evil spirits and so on than in the Yang Realm, so the speed of cultivation there will naturally be much faster."
"It does sound like there are a lot of benefits."
"This is only a superficial benefit. It is rumored that there is a heaven-level magic weapon hidden in the Santu River. If I can get one, I will make those Xuansheng kneel and tremble in front of me."
"Heaven-level magic weapon?" After hearing these four words, Jiang Beiran suddenly became interested.
In this human poison battle, Jiang Beiran discovered one thing, that is, heaven-level magic weapons are not rare.
It’s simply not there!
Even those who can produce earth-level magic weapons are rare.
Jiang Beiran originally thought that "Heaven Level" was just a beautiful vision. This sentence was just a humble comment from the strong people on the Xuanlong Continent, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be the truth! The kind that couldn't be more honest.
That's why Jiang Beiran showed great interest when he heard that there was a heaven-level magic weapon in Santuchuan.
"Yes, although Santuchuan does not have any intersection with Xuanlong Continent most of the time, it is actually another Xuanlong Continent. Some things that cannot be found on Xuanlong Continent can be found there."
'Hey guys...are parallel worlds coming?'
Originally, Jiang Beiran imagined that Santuchuan existed like the underworld, but now it sounds like... a mirror image? No, it should be said that one is the yang side and the other is the yin side.
This is in line with the theory of Qimen Dunjia.
"Then this Santu River... is really a bit desirable."
"Hahaha." Xu Meiying suddenly laughed, "Master Jiang, don't be deceived by this smelly Taoist priest. If there really was a heaven-level magic weapon in Santu River, he would have gotten it long ago, or let alone a heaven-level magic weapon.
, I didn’t see any earth-level magic weapon that he brought back from there.”
After hearing this, Taoist Zhan Yi immediately replied: "That's because the time has not come yet. What do you know? When I complete my cultivation, I will definitely go to the other side city to explore and see what's inside."
After hearing what Taoist Zhan Yi said, Yu Shumu, who had been silent all the time, said: "Taoist Priest, please think twice. The other side city is a recognized death place for ghosts. If Taoist Priest goes there, wouldn't it be a great loss for us ghost cultivators?"
A great battle."
"The little girl is still young after all." Xu Meiying smiled and shook her head: "You really think he dares to go, that's all."
Facing Xu Meiying's ridicule, Taoist Zhan Yi just waved his hand gently and replied: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan!"
Then in this quarrel, Jiang Beiran gained more knowledge about Santuchuan, but according to Taoist Zhan Yi, only by experiencing it personally can you understand what is going on inside.
'It seems that becoming a ghost cultivator can be put on the agenda.'
"My benefactor, you are here."
While a few people were chatting, Big Tiger suddenly floated in from outside and saluted Jiang Beiran.
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, looked him over and said, "I heard from the Taoist Master that you practiced very hard and fell asleep from exhaustion."
Dahu scratched his head, showed a simple smile and said: "I'm stupid, I can only work harder."
"Know that hard work is a good thing, keep working hard."
"Yes!" Dahu nodded vigorously after being praised.
"Besides, I'm here to ask for your help this time. Do you still remember the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls last time?"
"of course I remember!"
"There are more such innocent souls waiting for you to redeem them. Are you willing to come with me?"
