Walking on the way to the small town, Jiang Beiran found that the surroundings were not the pastoral scenery he had imagined, but that almost every house was hung with white cloth, and the sounds of crying kept coming and going.
Jiang Beiran was still a little surprised at first, thinking that a month had passed since the final battle with Gu Xiu, so why did these people start to hold the funeral?
But after thinking about it, I realized that at the beginning, the practitioners were still looking for Gu holes to save people, so everyone should be praying that their family members would be okay.
But now a month has passed, and there is probably no news of anyone being rescued in the past few days.
In the end, when all hope was dashed, they had no choice but to start arranging funeral arrangements, so that at least their family members could have a place to rest.
"well."
At this situation, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh. During his time in Yuancheng, he never slacked off and tried his best to solve all problems.
But the result was such a huge sacrifice, which always made him feel heavy in his heart.
He also became more and more determined to do a good job in preventing miasma.
"Master Jiang is sighing for the common people in the world?"
At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Beiran's heart.
Jiang Beiran glanced at the girl next to him and felt that she spoke quite maturely and had a bookish air. He must have been a good tutor in normal times.
"I just hope something like this won't happen again in the future."
"Yeah." The girl nodded, and then said to Jiang Beiran: "It's really rude to say that I haven't introduced myself to Master Jiang yet. The little girl's surname is Xu and her first name is Ruxuan. If Master Jiang likes, you can call her grandma.
My nickname is Nier."
"I'd better call you Miss Xu."
"Well, Master Jiang, just do whatever you want."
While chatting, the two came to the town. It was similar to the village. The atmosphere in the town was also quite depressing. From time to time, you could see houses hung with white cloth.
Occasionally I see a few pedestrians and find that they are all going in the same direction.
This made Jiang Beiran couldn't help but follow the crowd and walked in the same direction with them.
"Woo woo woo, Dabao, has anyone seen my Dabao?"
"Master, please tell me why no one has been sent here today?"
"Mom, please go home and rest first. I'll just wait here."
…
Arriving at the gathering place, Jiang Beiran discovered that this was originally the place where notices were posted. It seemed that all the saved people would be sent here and their names would be posted on the notice board.
But it's obvious that most people don't wait for the person they want to wait for.
Xu Ruxuan looked at Jiang Beiran who was silent and had various thoughts in her heart.
When she was in Yuan City, she was also curious about who saved everyone, and wanted to meet the person who brought everyone from darkness to light.
It's just that her father kept her at home and didn't go out, so she never went out once until she left Yuancheng.
Now that grandma suddenly brought this great hero home, she was really shocked, and Jiang Beiran's youth shocked her a second time.
Then she could understand what grandma said. She knew that grandma must have put in a lot of effort to bring this great hero home and wanted to bring them together.
But all this was too sudden for her, so on the way to the town, she had been secretly observing Jiang Beiran, wanting to know more about him.
Looking at his serious expression and his sigh just now, Xu Ruxuan felt that he was different from other cultivators.
The practitioners she knew, regardless of their level, all had a strong sense of superiority and did not look down upon ordinary people at all, as if they were human beings and ordinary people were just ants.
But Jiang Beiran seemed to really have these ordinary people in his eyes, and he would feel sad for the sorrow of these people, which Xu Ruxuan had never seen before.
"Real person, real person! Please look again. My son is very tall and has a mole on the left side of his face. It is easy to recognize. Please think again."
"I told you I haven't seen him before. How many times a day do you have to ask me?"
"The little old man also knows that he is very annoyed, but my son is my lifeblood. Please think again, the little old man is kowtowing to you."
"No, no, no, please get out of the way, we have business to do."
"Please think again, think again, please." The old man said and hugged a cultivator's lap, shouting with tears in his eyes.
"Hey! You old man! If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty, right? I've tolerated you for a long time!"
After saying that, he raised his legs and threw the old man out.
There are cultivators on one side and an old man in his 60s on the other. If they are really kicked out, the consequences can be imagined.
"Wait a minute, you two should calm down first." At this time, Jiang Beiran came out and said.
If it had been in the past, Jiang Beiran would definitely not have walked out like this, otherwise the options would have jumped eight hundred times earlier. But now it seems that God has nothing to do with him. Even if Jiang Beiran walked out like this, he would not have any options to jump out.
Hearing Jiang Beiran's words, the angry cultivator glared at him and said, "Who are you? Stay off your own business! Be careful that grandpa will do it to you too."
Jiang Beiran was not in a hurry, and cupped his hands towards the cultivator and said: "Before you get angry, why don't you listen to me first? First of all, I definitely know that you are a cultivator. If I didn't have any background, I would not dare to leave like this.
I came out to stop you, don’t you think?”
The practitioner was obviously stunned after hearing this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
But the man next to him said: "Brother, what he said makes sense."
"What the hell!" the cultivator roared, looked at Jiang Beiran again and said: "I don't care if you have any background, I've told this old man eight hundred times that I have never seen his son, and he still wants to pester him like this.
Me, what can I do?"
Although the cultivator still sounded unconvinced, he was actually explaining the reason, which was a bit weak.
But it was precisely because Jiang Beiran saw that he didn't mean to bully these people, so he wanted to reason with him, otherwise he would have used his words to make him eat shit.
"That's why I want you both to calm down. Everyone here is waiting for their loved ones. I believe you should also understand how anxious they are. If you can be more patient instead of giving perfunctory answers, maybe..."
"Which of your eyes saw that I was perfunctory!? I told him clearly that I had never seen him before!"
"I know that these days are very hard for you, taking care of so many people, but since you have worked hard, why not do better? If you can write down the information the old man said, and tell him that you will
Wouldn't the result be better if you help me search for it?"
After listening to Jiang Beiran's words, the practitioner's junior brother thought for a moment and then said: "Senior brother... what he said seems to make sense."
"There's a fart!"
‘This is really a pig teammate!’
Jiang Beiran actually felt that the cultivator had been shaken when he first persuaded him, but just because of this "pig teammate", he was unable to get off the stage again.
He makes sense, but I don’t!?
As a result, Jiang Beiran tried to persuade him for the second time, but was perfectly resolved by this "pig teammate", making Jiang Beiran want to shut his mouth.
"So, who are you? You come here to teach me how to do things. Come on, come on. Don't you have a background? Tell me, I will listen to you."
'Alas...' Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and said: "Brother, why don't you tell me which sect you are from first, and I'll see if I can resolve this matter amicably."
"Ha! Then listen carefully. Don't tell me my name and you will wet your pants. Listen, I am the centenary of the Shengtian Sect! What about you?"
"Shengtian Sect?" Jiang Beiran nodded and replied: "Wait a moment."
Seeing Jiang Beiran's expression of ignorance, the leader said angrily: "You haven't even heard of the Shengtian Sect!? Are you still not from the Tan country!? Wait... You kid really isn't from the Tan country, right?
"
At this time, Jiang Beiran took out a sound transmission token from the Qiankun Ring and contacted Luo Jingtian.
"Yes, I'm already here."
"Hey, don't rush, I still have some things to investigate."
"Well, yes, that's it. Then I'll trouble Sect Master Luo."
…
Listening to Jiang Beiran's conversation, Baichang suddenly felt a little unsure.
'Sect Master Luo? Which Sect Master Luo? It can't be...impossible, impossible.'
After putting away the token, Jiang Beiran stepped forward to help the old man who was still holding Bai Chang's thigh, patted the dirt on his body and said: "Old man, I know you are eager to find a son, but I also have to do business.
, it will be difficult for them to do it if you stop it so hard."
After hearing this, the old man cried again: "I know I shouldn't be like this, but I really can't help it. My old woman is crying blindly at home. If this son can't be found again, I...I..."
After the old man finished speaking, he burst into tears again, which made Bai Chang feel quite uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, I understand. Old man, you...old man, come here and tell me your son's appearance again. I will ask you when I go out."
After hearing this, the old man was immediately surprised and said: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
Then he saluted Jiang Beiran and said, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
Seeing that the real person was actually willing to help, the people who had been watching for a long time also came up with a "hoo!"
"Real person! Help me find my mother! I have her portrait!"
"Real person, me! My daughter has not been found yet. She is only six years old. She was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket when she left. Please help me pay attention to see if it is possible. I will kowtow to you."
"Master, my brother hasn't come back yet. He is blind in one eye, and..."
Seeing all the people rushing towards him, the hundred commanders frowned and shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing! Do I look so empty!?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Beiran again and wanted to say, "Look at the trouble you caused me." But he felt inexplicably unsure.
"Let me help you remember it together." At this time, Jiang Beiran smiled and took out a pen and paper from the Qiankun Ring and said.
Hearing what Jiang Beiran said, Bai Chang lost his temper and said: "Okay, okay, it's really... why did I meet a master like you."
Seeing that the chief had agreed, Jiang Beiran said to the people who were frightened by the scolding: "Come on, everyone line up and come one by one."
"Great! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
Amidst the cheers, everyone immediately lined up in an orderly manner and described their family members in detail.
After a cup of tea, Baichang gradually lost his initial irritability as he listened to the sincere "thanks" and began to carefully record the characteristics of each person's words.
"Master Jiang, it turns out you are here, making it easy for me to find you."
At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded next to Jiang Beiran. After Jiang Beiran heard it, he turned around and looked at the somewhat familiar sect leader and said, "Greetings to Sect Master Guo."
"Don't dare to take this as a word of worship, are you...?"
Looking at the kind old man in front of him, Bai Chang's jaw dropped in shock.
"Zong, Zong, Zong... Sect Master!?" After shouting, he immediately saluted and said: "Meet the Sect Master!"
Guo Xin was stunned when he heard the centenarian calling him, but he really didn't know this young disciple, but since he called him the master of his sect, he should be from his sect.
"No courtesy, just keep doing your thing." After that, he continued to Jiang Beiran: "Mr. Luo said you have something to do with me?"
"Well, I just want to find a few people in your realm." After speaking, Jiang Beiran looked at the trembling Baichang and said, "Besides, you are really good at managing things, and all the disciples in the sect are very good at doing things."
After hearing this, Guo Xin stroked his beard and laughed and said, "Hahaha, Master Jiang is so complimentary." After saying that, he glanced at the hundred leader and said, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to the sect leader, my disciple's surname is Cen and his given name is Gao. He is the centenarian of Luo Ya Hall."
"Okay, I'll remember it." After speaking, he turned to Jiang Beiran and said, "Master Jiang, please, let's find a place where there are few people to chat."
"Okay." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he said to Cen Gao: "Then I'll trouble you about the next thing."
Cengao's mind was numb at the moment and he had no idea what was going on.
But he knows better.
That is, the young man in front of me who just used the token to contact is really Luo Jingtian! Luo Tiansheng, the first sect leader in Tan Kingdom!
Otherwise, how could my sect leader come in person at such a fast speed, and not even dare to say a word of respect to him?
Thinking of this, Cen Gao couldn't help but swallow hard, and his back felt chilly.
Because he knew that with this influence, he would kill himself, otherwise... it would be a matter of just a few clicks to make himself worse than death, but he did not do it... He did not even scold him in the whole process.
Now he even helped himself to say good things in front of the sect leader, but he knew that he couldn't afford this praise at all.
"Master Jiang, me!"
However, just when he was about to admit his mistake, Jiang Beiran's voice rang in his ears.
"Recognizing mistakes can greatly improve things. If you feel that you deserve this award, then redouble your efforts to do things well."
After hearing this, Cen Gao couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he shouted loudly in the direction where Jiang Beiran left: "Please rest assured, Master Jiang, I will keep your teachings in mind!"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran waved to him and then left with Guo Xin.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's leaving figure, Cen Gao couldn't calm down for a long time. He couldn't imagine that there was such a noble person in the world...
'Wait a minute, Master Jiang...Master Jiang!?'
Cen Gao's eyes widened suddenly, realizing who he was meeting!
