Chapter 121 Broken Gold Knife
"Did you see anyone?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Li Tianxin and then turned aside the lyre in front of him.
This piano looks rather crude, not like an ordinary thing.
At this moment, all seven strings of the piano broke.
Li Tianxin shook his head slightly:
"I didn't see..."
"Where did you go just now?"
Jiang Ran asked again.
"..."
Li Tianxin stopped talking.
Jiang Ran glanced at him in surprise:
"Can't say?"
"Don't want to say..."
"Why?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't want to doubt Li Tianxin, all the people from the four sects were present and were worried. Got it.
He happened to be alone and escaped from the battle circle. When asked where he had gone, he was still unwilling to tell...
How could people not doubt this?
At least there has to be a reason...otherwise, it would be too difficult to explain.
Li Tianxin was silent for a long time, and he obviously understood the key to this.
Finally, he looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice:
"Cut down the tree..."
"?"
A trace of confusion arose in Jiang Ran's mind.
Li Tianxin slowly pulled out his knife.
There are many cuts in the blade, and some of them have even been curled.
On the edge of the blade, there are still some sawdust remaining at the edges and corners of the gap.
I heard Li Tianxin say quietly:
"Just now... after you left, the Yunshan Sword Sect came again. Ling Buyi wanted to continue to compete with Huang Xuan.
"Huang Xuan was naturally not afraid, and the two succeeded. After some good words, it's time to take action.
"At this moment, people from the Danyang Sword Sect also arrived.
" He declared that Shi Pingzhang was nearby.
"After saying this, I felt a sinister wind coming, and murderous intent suddenly came into my heart.
"I knew this situation was wrong, so in order to avoid accidentally hurting others, I quickly ran away..."
But I didn't expect that the murderous intent was uncontrollable.
"I With all his strength, he barely managed to maintain his sanity and look for the person who had done something secretly.
"But before I found him, the sound of the piano started.
"This time, I can't hold it anymore.
"I drew my sword and looked around. I felt that all the trees around me were abominable. I wished I could kill them with my sword..."
Although Li Tianxin said this with a cold face, it looked cool.
But in Jiang Ran's mind, the scene of Li Tianxin roaring in anger, treating the surrounding trees as sworn enemies, and attacking them in anger... He gently rubbed the corners of his mouth
.
Li Tianxin's eyes suddenly jumped and he gave Jiang Ran a cold look.
Jiang Ran subconsciously did not make eye contact with him.
Then Li Tianxin snorted:
"Laugh if you want to..."
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
Jiang Ran followed suit.
Li Tianxin's face turned even darker: "You're really smiling! I'm telling you, if this matter comes out of my mouth and enters your ears, if a third person knows about it, one of you and I will die!"
" It won't happen."
Jiang Ran rubbed his face and calmed down his sore muscles from laughing:
"Even if someone finds out about these little things, you don't have to kill yourself."
"You!"
Li Tianxin said bitterly glared at him.
I mean to refute, but considering each other's martial arts, it seems that fighting him desperately is no different from committing suicide.
"Now that we're gone, let's go back."
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and took the guqin with him.
The person who played the piano just now must be Shi Pingzhang.
The one used was most likely what Huang Xuan called the "Confused Funeral Seal".
But as a result, this person's martial arts has indeed changed again.
In the past, murderous stickers had to be written on the city wall.
Now that no one has seen it, so many people present are all confused.
This ability to sneak into the night with the wind is really a bit frightening.
But it's not all bad news.
Jiang Ran seemed to have secured the 30,000 taels of silver reward.
...
...
Waiting for Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin to return to Hongfeng Villa.
There was no one in front of the door here, only a few disciples of the four sects, Luo Qingyi and Zhang Zhihua were waiting in front of the door.
Seeing the two people coming back, Zhang Zhihua rushed to Li Tianxin immediately.
She didn't dare to speak, she just glanced at him to make sure he was okay, then quietly stood behind him.
Luo Qingyi hugged Jiang Ran and said,
"Miss Ye, please ask the others to go to Hongfeng Villa first, and let me wait for you here." "
Okay."
Jiang Ran nodded: "Let's go in too."
Stepping into Hongfeng Villa , the first thing that catches the eye is... Qi Kai.
He was still stuck on the wall behind the shadow, and no one bothered to take him down for a while.
After bypassing the shadow wall and walking in, the desolate scene in the courtyard suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The ground was covered with dead leaves, lampposts collapsed, and traces of dried blood could be seen everywhere, making the entire courtyard look dilapidated and desolate.
Just as he was about to identify the path, he saw Fu Chengen standing in front of a corridor.
Seeing Jiang Ran, he quickly said:
"Young Master Jiang, come this way, everyone is waiting for you."
Jiang Ran nodded, and Fu Chengen led the way.
As he walked, he said:
"The person who took action just now must be Shi Pingzhang.
" We have fallen into his trap, and the breath in our bodies cannot be harmonized, so we have to adjust our breath for a while.
"When I want to chase you, Junior Sister Ye said there's no need to worry... You are so powerful in martial arts that Shi Pingzhang may not dare to meet you.
"We have just entered Hongfeng Villa and are waiting here.
"Junior sister Ye really knows Jiang Shaoxia very well."
Li Tianxin glanced at Fu Chengen after hearing this.
Fu Chengen felt a little cold on his shin bones. Not knowing why, he heard Jiang Ran laugh and say:
"Brother Fu is joking. Shi Pingzhang has accumulated many years of experience and should not be underestimated.
"Besides, we haven't met each other until now, so we almost suffered a loss.
"This man's martial arts is really powerful. Fu
Chengen nodded repeatedly when he heard the words:
"That's true..."
While chatting casually with each other, they had already arrived in front of the main hall of Hongfeng Villa.
However, the plaque on the door of the main hall was placed beside the doorpost.
There are three big characters written on it, with iron paintings and silver hooks: Zhiqiutang. You can
know autumn by seeing a leaf, which is indeed in line with the artistic conception of Red Maple Villa.
At this time, the hall doors are open, and the disciples of the four sects, except for the leading few, are , most of them were sitting in front of Zhiqiu Hall. When
they entered the hall, they saw Ye Jingshuang sitting at the top of the table, watching Huang Xuan and Ling Buyi quarreling in the field, with helpless expressions on their faces.
Huang Xuan and Ling Buyi were quarreling, but there was nothing to do. That's what he said.
It's not as valuable as a three-year-old child.
The two of them just talked quickly and didn't care about what they said.
When they heard the sound of footsteps, they turned back at the same time.
Huang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found something. He said to Ling Buyi like a patron:
"Come on, tell me more!
"Brother Jiang is here. Believe it or not, I will let him beat you!"
"Tian Tang Tian Dou Jian, you are really promising!!"
Ling Buyi twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he said this, he subconsciously stepped back.
He had only seen Jiang Ran take action twice.
It was the first time that he and Huang Xuan had a sword fight, and they acted as if nothing had happened.
The second time was just now in front of Hongfeng Villa.
With his own strength, one finger directly broke the funeral seal of chaos.
In other words, with one finger, he directly knocked all the disciples of their four major sword sects to the ground.
With such martial arts, he is indeed no match for him.
Not to mention, now I am receiving favor from others.
After all, Jiang Ran had the ability to pin all the disciples of the four sects to the ground, so he also had the ability to kill them all.
Now that they are not killed, they are freed from the entanglement of the funeral chapter.
This is grace!
A great favor that cannot be ignored!
Not only Ling Buyi, but seeing Jiang Ran coming in, the ancient master uncle of the Qingsong Sword Sect and a middle-aged woman headed by the Danyang Sword Sect all stood up and greeted Jiang Ran: "I've met Young Master Jiang."
Obviously
this Over a period of time, Jiang Ran's situation has been clarified.
Jiang Ran crossed his fists and said,
"You're welcome, please take a seat quickly."
"Brother Jiang."
Ye Jingshuang came to Jiang Ran and led him to the main seat to sit down.
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"Isn't this appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate."
Ye Jingshuang said,
"Brother Jiang, just sit down."
Everyone nodded:
"Young Master Jiang, please take your seat quickly."
Jiang Ran saw this. He didn't hesitate any longer and sat down firmly.
Ye Jingshuang came to the chair on the right and sat down.
Li Tianxin touched the wall and stood still, holding the knife, looking at this scene, his brows furrowed, his eyes vaguely anxious and resentful.
Zhang Zhihua looked at Li Tianxin with a strange expression, and then at Jiang Ran.
Suddenly she opened her mouth slightly, as if she had discovered something incredible.
After being shocked, his eyes were full of sadness.
Finally, he stared at Jiang Ran and bit his lower lip, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luo Qingyi naturally stood beside Jiang Ran.
Nowadays, there is no tea that can be used to entertain guests in Hongfeng Villa. Jiang Ran put the guqin on the table and said, "Please
take a look, do you recognize this thing?" Everyone
glanced at it, and most of them had full faces. confused.
Only the middle-aged woman from the Danyang Sword Sect stood up and frowned:
"This seems to be... a hibiscus harp."
"A hibiscus harp?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the woman.
When we met just now, she also introduced herself as an elder of the Danyang Sword Sect.
Her surname is Su, and her name is Su Wanyi.
At this time, she nodded slightly and said softly:
"The hibiscus qin was what Shi Pingzhang used back then.
" Among the elders of the school, there was one who loved music and participated in the strangulation of Shi Pingzhang in the past.
"The only regret is that the hibiscus in his hand fell under the Broken Heart Rock.
"Every time I think about it, I sigh. Later, I also drew this hibiscus harp... I was lucky enough to see it several times, and I thought it was the same as this guqin. "
Jiang Ran nodded when he heard this.
In this way, Shi Pingzhang's identity was confirmed. But
he heard Ling Buyi burst out laughing:
"That's great."
"What's good? Huang
Xuan glared at him: "You are still crazy at your age. No wonder you are not as good as you were eight years ago."
" You fart! "
"I'll smell it for you! " "
You..."
Ling Buyi seemed to be about to enter the established process, and was about to launch the previous trick, but he held back and said:
"Shi Pingzhang has lost the hibiscus qin, and there is no use for the chaotic funeral chapter."
"It can be said that his martial arts has been greatly reduced!
"Isn't this bad? "
This..."
Huang Xuan thought for a while and found that it was indeed good.
But he was used to going against Ling Buyi, but he was unwilling to give up the opportunity so easily. He immediately snorted coldly and was thinking about what he could say to regain his position. , I heard the ancient master uncle say:
"Don't take it lightly.
"Although the strings are broken, it does not mean that his martial arts will be any weaker.
"And..."
He paused slightly and said to Jiang Ran:
"Where did Jiang Shaoxia get this piano? Have you ever met Shi Pingzhang? "
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly and explained the situation simply.
Master Gu frowned and said,
"If this happens, I'm afraid it won't be good.
"Although the strings are broken, it is not difficult to repair it with this person's ability.
"Why did you abandon this piano?
"Unless..."
"Unless he has something better to replace him with?"
Jiang Ran tapped his fingers on the back of the chair. After thinking for a while, he nodded lightly:
"These are all uncertain things. It is true that we should not be careless.
"This person's purpose is unpredictable, and it is difficult to say that he has really left Hongfeng Villa... You should be careful when you go there. "
Okay." "
Everyone nodded.
When the matter came to an end, Cheng Tianyang stood up and said,
"Miss Ye, Cheng was entrusted by Yi Jian Wu Sheng Jian Wu Sheng to hand over the Broken Gold Knife to Master Ye.
"I didn't expect that Hongfeng Villa would suffer such a disaster. Now that the owner of Villa Ye has passed away, this broken gold knife has to be handed over to Miss Ye." While
speaking, he took out a box from behind.
This box has always been carried behind him, and he has never left it for even a moment.
At this time, he brought it and handed it to Ye Jingshuang with both hands.
After Ye Jingshuang pondered for a while, he took it and said,
"Mr. Cheng, the escort chief, was entrusted by others and was loyal to others. He traveled thousands of miles to send this thing to Hongfeng Villa. It is really admirable." "
Ye Jingshuang took it ." The eldest lady said something serious."
Cheng Tianyang laughed and said,
"When you are in the world, you must practice what you say.
" "This is also an iron rule that our Tianyang Escort Agency has always abided by.
"If anything happens to Miss Ye in the future, you can entrust me to the Tianyang Escort Bureau.
" "Whether it's traveling thousands of miles across mountains or crossing vast oceans.
"But you have your trust, and our Tianyang Escort Agency will never let you down!"
Jiang Ran suddenly felt that Cheng Tianyang was really powerful, and he deserved to be able to make this Tianyang Escort Agency the best in the world.
He never forgets to advertise... He is truly an unusual person.
At this time, Cheng Tianyang asked Ye Jingshuang to open the box and check whether the darts were missing.
Ye Jingshuang didn't refuse, stretched out her hand to untie the baggage on it, and then gently pushed the lid of the box.
A black horizontal sword with gold carvings embedded in the scabbard slowly appeared in front of people.
Ye Jingshuang took a look, but did not take out the knife. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ran:
"Brother Jiang, magical weapons are always given to heroes.
"I'll give this broken gold knife to you. , I hope you won’t refuse.
Jiang Ran blinked: "
Give it to me?" I spend a lot of money on knives... I have to buy them every three days. When this knife fell into my hands, I was a little worried that it would break it. "
That can't be done. " Huang
Xuan said with a smile:
"Brother Jiang doesn't know that this sword was made by Tie Kaihe, a famous swordsmith of the generation, who took rare iron from the sky and fused it with gold."
"It has been passed down for so many years, and it has appeared in the world from time to time.
"It has gone through countless battles, big and small, but even today, the blade has not been damaged at all.
"So, just accept Junior Sister Ye's suggestion."
"Oh?"
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and reached out to take the knife out of the box.
He stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife and slowly drew it out.
Buzz! !
As the sound of the knife appeared, a golden light quietly emerged.
Jiang Ran immediately stopped hesitating, unsheathed his sword, and unfolded the blade. Before he exerted any force, he heard a crash, and a chair not far away was immediately split into two.
This sharp edge is far superior to any knife Jiang Ran has used before.
Of course, this is also because Jiang Ran has never used any good knives in the past.
They were all bought from the blacksmith shop.
It's no more expensive than twenty or thirty taels, and you can buy one for as cheap as twenty taels of silver.
This is the first time I have seen a knife of this level like the Broken Gold Knife, let alone using it.
At this time, I looked at the blade and found that the blade was full of pits and irregularities, but there was a faint golden light in the deep and shallow pits.
There is beauty in the dilapidation.
As expected, the blade was not damaged at all, as Huang Xuan said.
"It is indeed a good knife."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly, glanced at Ye Jingshuang, and smiled:
"In that case, I won't shirk it anymore. Thank you Shuang'er for giving me the sword."
"Brother Jiang, Don't be so polite between you and me."
Ye Jingshuang smiled softly.
Others also came to congratulate Jiang Ran on getting the sword, which was really gratifying.
Jiang Ran dealt with them one by one, and it took a long time before it was over.
And Ye Jingshuang let everyone choose a room to live in at Hongfeng Villa.
The disciples of each sect naturally have leaders in charge of each sect, but Ye Jingshuang does not need to worry about them.
But Ye Jingshuang was worried about Shi Miao and wanted to go and have a look.
Jiang Ran was a little surprised when he heard this:
"She hasn't woken up yet?"
The other people had already woken up and could still run to the door of Zhiqiutang to bask in the sun.
Shi Miao's martial arts was far superior to theirs, but it was difficult to wake up, but I don't know why?
After sorting it out immediately, he went to see it with Ye Jingshuang.
When she entered the door, she saw Su Wanyi sitting in front of the bed, looking at the sleepy Shi Miao and sighing softly.
When she looked up and saw Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang arriving, she immediately stood up and said,
"Miss Ye, Young Master Jiang."
After greeting each other, Jiang Ran looked at Shi Miao and said,
"No sign of waking up yet?"
"No..."
Amelia Su shook her head.
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran understood what she meant, so he took Shi Miao's wrist and gently explored it.
It felt like she had enough energy and no injuries at all.
His brows furrowed for a moment.
Su Wanyi said softly:
"Young Master Jiang, please don't make things difficult for yourself. Shi Pingzhang's martial arts goes straight to the heart.
"Shi Miao was simple by nature, and from then on he only used the sword as his heart, which is the purest thing.
"Perhaps it's because of this that her heart is covered in dust and she can't wake up..."
Jiang Ran nodded slowly. Since there were no injuries on his body, the only possibility was that Su Wanyi said it.
He sighed softly:
"In that case, I have no choice but to wait.
" Miss Shi had better wake up quickly so that you and I, Senior Sister Ye, can go out to kill people. "
As soon as these words came out, Shi Miao's fingers moved.
Everyone present saw this scene and looked at each other for a moment.
Jiang Ran was also a little stunned:
"You react when it comes to killing people? Are you a murderer?"
"Who to kill?"
Shi Miao suddenly opened his mouth and slowly spit out two words.
Then his eyes slowly opened, with murderous intent in them.
"Qianliu Villa... everyone is waiting."
Jiang Ran said: "Hongfeng Villa was evacuated by them, and Qi Kai died in my hands again. Regardless of whether Qianliu Villa can let it go, wait for the news to come back. , I’m afraid we won’t just wait at home to die.
“So, we have to go out early so that we can kill people and set fire to them. ”
