Arriving on the second floor, Jiang Beiran soon saw Yan Xiaobo who was drinking tea.
Yan Xiaobo was a little surprised by Jiang Beiran's sudden arrival, but he quickly put down his tea cup and made an invitation gesture: "Come on, come on, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
After looking at the pile of documents on the table, Jiang Beiran sat down and said with a smile: "Sect Master Yan is so hardworking and hardworking, I really admire this junior."
After hearing this, Yan Xiaobo shook his head helplessly: "You think I want to, that old guy Gu Liangqian left this matter to me, I have to give him an explanation, otherwise he won't be able to blame me to death when he gets out of prison."
Although he had felt this before, after this time Jiang Beiran was even more sure that the two Xuanshengs must have a very good personal relationship and should be old friends.
After bringing the tea set to Jiang Beiran, Yan Xiaobo said, "How is your handling of it? Do you have any clues?"
Yan Xiaobo actually contacted Jiang Beiran several times this month, but Jiang Beiran gave the same answer every time.
That means he is working hard to prevent the miasma from reappearing.
Compared with this matter, the things Yan Xiaobo asked him to do seemed childish, so he had to wait.
"Well, the basic idea is already in place. This time we are coming back to recruit manpower."
"Oh?" When Yan Xiaobo heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "As expected of Master Jiang, no matter how hard it is, it can be solved by your hands. I admire you, I admire you."
After cupping his hand, Jiang Beiran said with a smile: "It's all thanks to everyone. Why did Sect Leader Yan come to see me before? I was too busy before, so I couldn't care about it..."
"It goes without saying, everyone understands." Yan Xiaobo raised his hand to stop Jiang Beiran's words, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you about those Gu cultivators."
"What happened to them?"
"As you know, those Gu cultivators are very tough and can't catch anyone alive at all, so we have to start with the spies you caught. But except you, no one can pry their mouths open. I just want to
Let me ask you what you plan to do with these people."
"Well...it's certainly worth thinking about."
After all, many of those rapists were powerful in the Mysterious Saint Realm. It would be a pity to kill them directly, but let's keep them. It seems that only Jiang Beiran can handle them.
"What does Sect Leader Yan plan to do with them?"
Yan Xiaobo laughed after hearing this, "I'm asking you for advice. It's not a big deal for these people to be locked up like this."
Jiang Beiran thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Anyway, just lock it up for now. I'll come back to you when I figure out a way."
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words. Also, do you want to come and take a look at Gu Xiu's body? Although it was blown to pieces, it is still usable after a try."
"I'm somewhat interested in this, but for now I still plan to focus on preventing miasma, and leave the rest for a while."
"That's okay. The corpses of these Gu cultivators won't rot anyway. It'll be fine if you come and see them later."
After Yan Xiaobo finished speaking, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Beiran and said: "In addition, the number of casualties this time is far greater than I imagined, those damn beasts!"
The reason why Yan Xiaobo has been so angry these days is because he sees the shocking casualty figures every day.
Although as cultivators, they usually don't care much about how the people live, they also understand in their hearts that the people are the foundation of the country. Without the people, no matter how powerful the country is, it will be difficult to continue.
In this invasion of the Gu clan, although the people did not die from inhaling the miasma, they were tortured to death by the Gu cultivators in a more vicious way and became sacrifices.
Moreover, the victims were not just ordinary people, many disciples and senior officials of the sect were also poisoned, and as long as they were caught, it was almost difficult to survive.
It can be said that during this Gu clan invasion, the new generation of cultivators suffered heavy losses, and there will probably be a talent gap for a period of time in the future.
Whenever he thought that many disciples in his sect were kidnapped by the Gu clan and subjected to inhuman torture, Yan Xiaobo became so angry that he broke countless tables.
Looking at Yan Xiaobo who was furious, Jiang Beiran was also very emotional, and the hundreds of thousands of wronged souls flashed through his mind.
This is why he is now committed to research to prevent the recurrence of miasma events. This situation must never happen again!
Then Yan Xiaobo chatted a lot with Jiang Beiran about post-war restoration and consulted Jiang Beiran.
However, Jiang Beiran's answers were all consistent.
"Leave it to those who are good at it."
From the conversation, Jiang Beiran could tell that it was indeed the first time for Yan Xiaobo to personally manage such a large country, and in order to live up to Gu Liangqian's expectations, he really wanted to do everything himself.
But not only is a person's energy limited, but his abilities are also limited.
People who are good at cultivation are not necessarily good at mystical arts, and people who are good at mystical arts are not necessarily good at governing the country.
People like Yan Xiaobo who want to control everything and intervene everywhere will only make things more chaotic in the end.
"You sound... like a hands-off shopkeeper."
After listening to Jiang Beiran explain to him how to appoint his subordinates, Yan Xiaobo said with sincere emotion.
"Knowing people well is also an ability, and it is a very important ability."
After hearing this, Yan Xiaobo nodded thoughtfully and replied: "I understand."
Then suddenly his eyes lit up and he lowered his voice and asked Jiang Beiran, "Does Master Jiang also know people well and appoint many of his subordinates?"
Jiang Beiran shook his head and replied: "I prefer to be alone and have no interest in accepting subordinates."
Yan Xiaobo said "Oh~" after hearing this, a little doubtful.
Partly because he had never seen any particularly capable subordinates in Jiang Beiran, and partly because he knew that the young man who single-handedly held on to Zeng Guo's last glimmer of hope had a close friendship with him.
No, it shouldn't be said that they had a close friendship, but that the young man had a deep dependence on Jiang Beiran.
This information is currently only in the possession of Xuansheng from their Tong country.
But since then, the mysterious young man has had little contact with Jiang Beiran, and he is also confused about the relationship between the two.
'Forget it, there are so many mysteries about Master Jiang anyway, I can't wait to add a few more.'
After the idea came to his mind, Yan Xiaobo poured another cup of tea for Jiang Beiran and asked: "Master Jiang, you said you came out this time to gather people. Are these ninth-grade grandmasters this person is referring to?"
"Of course."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaobo became excited and said, "Master Jiang, can you do me a favor?"
"What's the rush?"
"Last time when the Gu tribe invaded, my Shenmeng Sect's mountain-protecting formation was breached, and the sect was also in chaos. A few days ago, Baihua from the sect came to ask me what to do, and I was still...
I'm worried, look..."
Although the Xuan Sheng of the Six Kingdoms also attached great importance to the Ninth Grade Grandmaster before, after this battle, they understood how the Ninth Grade Grandmaster could turn decay into a magical existence.
It can be said that without Jiang Beiran and these ninth-grade masters this time, they would never have been able to overcome this difficulty.
So naturally, I wanted to win over several ninth-grade masters to come and take charge of the sect.
After listening to Yan Xiaobo's words, Jiang Beiran could see through his mind at a glance. If they really wanted to rebuild the sect-protecting formation, there would be no ninth-grade formation mage in Tong. If not, why not just ask him to help? It's so roundabout.
Ask him for help.
The purpose is naturally to let him recommend some powerful ninth-grade masters to him, so that when the time comes to help his sect rebuild, he can get close to them.
"I can help you ask, Master Yan, but I don't know if those masters are available."
After hearing this, Yan Xiaobo said the word "good" three times in a row, and then said: "I am relieved by Master Jiang's words. After the work is completed, I will be grateful!"
Then, after chatting casually for a while, Jiang Beiran saw that Yan Xiaobo had nothing serious to do, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Then, if Sect Master Yan has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Are you leaving now? Come and have a meal. The chefs in the palace are very good at it, and there are many people who are thinking about you."
"Next time, I will visit some masters and discuss with them how to prevent miasma."
After hearing this, Yan Xiaobo could only say helplessly: "In this case, it is really hard for me to keep you. Let's get together again after the matter is over."
"Okay, I'll take my leave then." After Jiang Beiran said that, he bowed his hands to Yan Xiaobo and left Beppu.
After visiting Tongguo's "leader", it was time to get down to business. After turning a few streets, Jiang Beiran came to the residence previously arranged for several ghost cultivators, but suddenly found that the bustling crowd just now had disappeared.
, the surrounding area is simply cleaner than the palace.
'It seems that they really take what I said seriously.'
Nodding, Jiang Beiran knocked on the door of the courtyard.
With a "squeak", the door was opened, and Jiang Beiran walked in and saw several familiar seniors.
What surprised him was that Gu Liangren was also inside.
Seeing Jiang Beiran constantly looking at himself, Gu Liangren raised his eyes and said, "What? Is it weird for Pindao to be here?"
"It's strange." Jiang Beiran nodded, "It's very strange. I thought you, Mr. Xian, were out wandering around like you usually do."
After hearing this, Gu Liangren smiled slightly and replied: "Who told you that I often go out for wandering on weekdays?"
"Is not it?"
"Yes, but also no."
'here we go again……'
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he smiled and gave Gu Liangren a middle finger.
After reading this, Gu Liangren's expression showed some contemplation, as if he was thinking about the meaning of this middle finger.
However, Jiang Beiran did not give Gu Liangren time to think. He turned to look at Taoist Zhan Yi and asked, "Does Taoist Master feel comfortable living here?"
Originally Jiang Beiran just found a temporary residence for them, but now he found that they seemed to like staying here, so he was wondering if he could help them move to a larger mansion.
Taoist Zhan Yi, who was peeling a banana, heard Jiang Beiran ask himself, and immediately replied: "Shu Xin, that is quite comfortable."
"Do you need help to move to a bigger house?"
"No need, no need. We, the Qing cultivators, don't pay attention to these external things." Taoist Zhan Yi took a bite of a banana and said, "The reason why we feel comfortable living here is because we can finally have something in the center of the six countries."
A place to stay.”
When he heard these words, he once again revealed his deep resentment towards Xuan Xiu. It is estimated that for the sake of safety in the past, ghost cultivators would definitely not come to such a place where Xuan Sage and Xuan Zun gathered.
Although they all have their own hiding methods, there is really no need to be cautious here.
But it's different now. When I originally arranged a place for them, I said this was his place of retreat and meditation. Even if the sky fell, don't disturb him here.
Of course, his words still carry a lot of weight. Even if he didn't explain it, several streets in front of the mansion were also "cleared."
There was no one around, no, it should be said that no one would come here to disturb them.
"As long as you are satisfied with your stay, if you need anything else, just say hello to the juniors."
Taoist Zhan Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master Jiang really doesn't have the airs to stand up to the sea, hahaha, it's not easy."
‘Building the sea and holding the sky?’
Listening to the title he had received in the Shi family from Zhan Yi Dao, Jiang Beiran knew that someone must be spreading rumors about him.
"My benefactor! I knew it was you who came."
While a few people were chatting, half of Dahu's body suddenly leaned down from the second floor and said with surprise on his face.
"Big...tiger?"
Seeing this "evil spirit" exuding a vicious aura in front of him, Jiang Beiran was a little afraid to recognize him for a moment.
If the previous soul image of Dahu was that of an honest and honest farmer, then the current Dahu is like Shura who just came back from the underworld. Not to mention scaring a child to tears, Lin Zhengying would probably shudder when she saw him.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's surprised expression, Taoist Zhan Yi said with satisfaction: "Hahaha, how about it, Dahu, I said your benefactor will definitely be surprised by your growth when he sees you again."
Previously, Jiang Beiran sent Dahu to Zeng State to appease the souls there, and told him that if he ran into trouble, he could go back to Taoist Zhan Yi.
A few days later, Jiang Beiran received a letter from Taoist Zhan Yi, which stated that Dahu had returned to him and explained the reason.
That is, Dahu's ghost energy is too strong now. When ordinary souls see him coming, they will run around in fear and cannot be comforted at all.
So Dahu had no choice but to find Taoist Zhan Yi.
"Didn't Dahu come back to you to solve this problem? Why has it become more serious?"
Jiang Beiran asked, feeling the terrifying anger on Dahu.
"Dahu, why don't you quickly show your benefactor the results of your cultivation." Taoist Zhan Yi looked at Dahu and said.
"yes!"
Dahu agreed and floated down from the second floor. Then he was shocked, and the terrible anger dissipated in an instant, and he returned to his original image of a farmer.
"Bah bang bang." Taoist Zhan Yi clapped his hands twice when he saw this, and praised: "Not bad, I have become more proficient in controlling it."
Then he turned to Jiang Beiran and said: "To control this ghost energy, you must first get used to them. Now Dahu has gathered Yin energy, evil energy, hostility, and madness all in one body. It is not easy to teach him to control them all."
matter."
"But he really worked hard to live up to your expectations. You should praise him."
Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this, looked at Dahu and said, "Well done."
"Thank you for the compliment!" Dahu shouted happily.
