Chapter 140: Came
to the gate of Sanshui County Government Office at night.
Jiang Ran yawned and walked out.
Looking up, he saw a group of girls from the Shuiyue Sword Sect standing on the street. On the other side were Li Tianxin holding a knife and Luo Qingyi carrying a bag.
Ruan Yuqing glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Is the matter done?"
Jiang Ran could only nodded and looked at Ruan Yuqing:
"Miss Ruan is still here... I prepared your detoxification pill overnight last night. , now the Biluo poison in your body has been cured.
"I don't think there will be any more problems, so you can rest assured. "
Jiang Ran couldn't sleep well last night. Just
when he was about to lie down, Fang Li sent over all the medicinal materials he needed.
Thinking that he would be separated from Ruan Yuqing and the others today,
he simply made up all night . The elixir was ready.
I sent it to Ruan Yuqing early this morning.
However, Ruan Yuqing said that they had been delayed in the Sanhe Gang for a long time and could not stay any longer.
They decided to leave with Jiang Ran.
But they wanted to leave. , but instead of walking half way on the road facing the sky.
Instead, he followed Jiang Ran all the way to Sanshui County Yamen.
Jiang Ran came here, of course, for the silver reward from Wu Zhong and the Sanshui Demon Lord.
The Sanshui Demon Lord was the second Although the wanted criminal from ten years ago has now been cleared, Jiang Ran, as a hunter, holds the arrest warrant, which means that although the case back then has been eliminated, the person is still alive. He can still get the reward. As for Wu
Zhong
... ...
Although he is famous on the sword-wielding division list, as a master who escaped from Ouchi, he is naturally indispensable in the sea arrest documents. The
silver reward is still thirty-nine thousand taels, not a penny. Less.
Plus a Sanshui Demon Lord’s 20,000 taels of silver. If
you give 59,000 taels of silver, the magistrate of Sanshui County will be crying bitterly in the yamen. It’s
just a reward for these two people... Jiang Ran felt a little tangled.
Wu Zhong's reward was a set of palm techniques called [Heaven-Overturning Divine Palm].
And the reward of the Sanshui Demon Lord was eight years of inner strength.
Logically speaking, these two rewards him Just get it directly.
But the problem is that Jiang Ran still has four BUFFs on his body now. If he
can get it now, Jiang Ran feels that no matter which kind it is, it is not very cost-effective.
Especially the Tianfushen Palm... If this palm technique was really powerful, how could Wu Zhong be defeated so easily?
Even with the BUFF blessing, it is probably just the icing on the cake for Jiang Ran.
As for internal strength... I don't know the specific improvement mechanism yet. .
If each BUFF can increase the internal strength for ten years, it will be a total of forty-eight years of internal strength, which is quite considerable.
But even so, it is estimated that the improvement of the Zhengxin Sutra of Creation is extremely limited.
After all, there is still a lack of one Internal strength is used to fill the gaps in the three nines of the Right Heart Sutra of Creation.
Jiang Ran thought about it and decided not to receive these two rewards yet. Let them go first
... don't give up, don't receive them, and wait and see. Are there any other rewards?
At this moment, Jiang Ran's data panel is also quite rich.
[Knife Catcher System!]
[Host: Jiang Ran]
[Capture Target: None]
[Capture Progress: None]
[Get Rewards : Heaven-covering Divine Palm (twenty-nine years), not claimed.]
[Reward obtained: eight years of internal strength, not claimed.]
[Nine Deaths: Repairing...]
[Remaining lifespan: three years, six months and nine days !]
In terms of lifespan alone, it is no longer the same as before.
When Jiang Ran captured the Second Lord of Yangyue, his lifespan had already surged to two years and ten months.
Later, he won the Shiping Chapter respectively. , Wu Zhong and the Sanshui Demon Lord.
And some scattered little people.
After excluding the time wasted on the road... So far, life has made great progress. I
only occasionally look at these four "Nine Deaths" Jiang Ran will also have some questions.
When the system says 'under repair', is it really being repaired, or is it just... just getting rewards and injecting life?
This question will not be answered for a while.
However, if the system is really using this to repair the Nine Deaths, there will definitely be a certain degree of progress.
Perhaps after reaching a certain peak, there will be some external manifestations.
After thinking about these things in his mind, Jiang Ran left the county government office. As soon as he went out, he found that Ruan Yuqing and the others were still at the door.
That's why I said the above.
"Don't worry?"
Ruan Yuqing sighed:
"I want to feel relieved, but I really can't rest assured.
" News about Jiao Wei has begun to spread in all directions, and you will become the target of public criticism.
"How should I rest assured?"
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"So you can't rest assured of me..."
Li Tianxin on the side rolled his eyes again and sighed, his eyes full of dejection, as if he was too lazy to do anything more. Got it.
"That's right."
Ruan Yuqing said: "You admit that Jiaowei is on you because of our consideration. How can we abandon you now? At least, before going to Sunset Ping of Sanxian Mountain, I will Follow you."
"What about them?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the other disciples of the Shuiyue Sword Sect.
In the previous battle with Wu Zhong, none of their injuries were healed.
There will definitely be danger around Jiang Ran next, and if they follow... they may lose their lives if they are not careful.
Ruan Yuqing understood what Jiang Ran meant and said,
"I have already arranged that they will return to the Shuiyue Sword Sect first.
" "I will follow you alone... I know that you are strong in martial arts, but one person can be short-changed, even if I am in terms of martial arts." Not as good as you, but when it comes to something, it’s always better to have multiple people, multiple ideas, and multiple ideas.
"Since Miss Ruan has made up her mind, Jiang cannot stop her. Just let her do whatever she wants. " "
Now that the words have come to this, Jiang Ran doesn't know how to refuse.
Ruan Yuqing immediately nodded with satisfaction.
He also said goodbye to these Shuiyue Sword Sect disciples one by one and asked them to be careful on their way.
In fact, there is not much danger.
Ruan Yuqing specially found a person to lead the team, and the Shuiyue Sword Sect was indeed not someone to be trifled with.
Even Wu Zhong, if it hadn't been for Jiao Weiqin, would never have taken action against the Shuiyue Sword Sect.
Everyone knows that the Shuiyue Sword Sect has unprecedented unity, and the elders in the sect are extremely protective of their weaknesses.
Once you provoke one, a group of them will be killed.
As long as these people don't cause trouble along the way, they can reach the Shuiyue Sword Sect smoothly.
Then there is the person who leads the team, Ruan Yuqing carefully selected him.
He is agile and has strong martial arts skills, so he was entrusted with the important task.
Look at Ruan Yuqing's explanation of what needs to be explained.
Jiang Ran looked into the distance to see where the Sanhe Gang was.
When they left this morning, Fang Yinuo and Fang Li, together with a large group of hall masters, all came out to see them off.
For Jiang Ran, this small meeting on the waters of Sanhe was just an episode in the journey.
But for Fang Yinuo and the others, there are still many things to deal with.
Heishui Village can't just let it go... However, this is also a family matter, and Jiang Ran doesn't care about the specifics.
After looking at it twice, he withdrew his gaze and smiled softly:
"In that case, let's go."
...
...
The stars were dotted and the cold moon hung high.
Under the night, on the edge of the woods, a fire was lit.
Luo Qingyi took out two roast chickens, four pig feet, three water bags, and four sesame cakes from the bundle.
He quickly placed these things next to the fire.
Then he gave the water bag to Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing.
Ruan Yuqing thanked him and looked at Luo Qingyi. He really wanted to praise him for his virtuousness...
but considering that the other party was really a strong man, he swallowed his words in the end.
Li Tianxin held the knife and leaned against a tree. He opened the water bag and took a sip:
"Isn't it too quiet?"
"Yes."
Luo Qingyi nodded when he heard this:
"I thought the young master would kill Jiaowei. After the news about Qin spreads, it will inevitably lead to a manhunt all over the world.
"Who would have thought that these seven days have passed without any movement. "
Don't be careless. " Ruan
Yuqing said softly:
"The more this happens, the more careful you have to be on guard."
"Earlier when you were on your way, you could still see some bandits and road tyrants. Now even these people have disappeared. Obviously there is another mystery." "Probably,
they are secretly poking and preparing for some big moves."
Jiang The sound came from the trees.
He was sitting on a tree branch, drinking wine from a wine gourd.
Xu was drunk, and his legs were dangling.
Ruan Yuqing raised his head and glanced at him:
"What are you doing sitting so high?"
"Aren't you observing the surrounding environment?"
"Then what did you observe?"
"No."
Jiang Ran curled his lips and flew away from the tree. Up and down:
"Except for the wild beasts in the forest, which were a little bit agitated by the smell of barbecue, nothing else was found.
"Do you think these people are holding back their nerves to ambush me in front of Sunset Ping? "
Who knows..."
Ruan Yuqing said,
"You released the news too early. They may have done too many things."
"In this case, it's hard to guess."
"But it will come eventually..."
Jiang Ran stretched out and sniffed again:
"Qing Yi is good at hot rice recently." "
Thank you for the compliment, Master. ."
A smile appeared on Luo Qingyi's face:
"This is what I should do."
Li Tianxin curled his lips and glanced at Luo Qingyi: "Is there anything to be happy about?"
Luo Qingyi said matter-of-factly:
" It's natural to be happy to be appreciated by the young master."
"You're really promising."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran glanced at this more promising person and said with a smile:
"Brother Li, is it time to pay the recent food expenses?"
Li Tianxin snorted:
"What's the big deal if you just hand over the money? I have a lot of money!"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms.
Jiang Ran never ate alone, and he always had a lot to share with them.
Especially Li Tianxin, who has experienced Shi Pingzhang's incident since Yangyue Erjun. Although he is not as rich as Jiang Ran, he still has several thousand taels of silver.
He immediately clicked and took out a few silver notes and gave them to Jiang Ran:
"Here, one year's worth!"
Jiang Ran reached out and took it, glanced at it:
"It's not enough."
"I'll give you a full three hundred taels of silver. How could it not be enough?
“How much does an average person need for food and clothing in a year?
Li Tianxin was furious: "I gave you enough to feed me for several years! "
"It's not enough. Brother Li, you underestimate yourself... As the saying goes, a half-grown man is a poor man. You are now in this half-grown man stage. "
"As an old man, why don't I accept more?"
Jiang Ran chuckled and said: "In addition, Brother Li, I advise you to be more polite when talking to me. You know I don't have any other hobbies, I just like it. Shaking his hands and poisoning... Although he had no intention of killing anyone, his hands were itchy and there was no one around, so he had no choice but to attack the people around him." The
previous words originally made Li Tianxin want to curse.
The next words completely blocked the curse words.
He glanced at Jiang Ran bitterly:
"I'll make a list for you sooner or later...
" Okay, I'll give it! How much do you want! ? "
Jiang Ran didn't rush to make a conclusion, but said:
"Before asking this, I also want to ask you, how long do you plan to follow me to eat and drink for free? "
Li Tianxin almost hit Jiang Ran on the head with the scabbard.
This shameless person... while asking for money and food expenses from himself, he also said that he was eating and drinking for free!
Where can I eat and drink for free?
He gritted his teeth and said,
"You don't care..."
"Then let's count it as five years.
" "One thousand taels a year, five thousand taels." "
Jiang Ran held out five fingers.
"I'll chop them off for you! ! "
Li Tianxin finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so he drew out his sword and cut with a cry.
Jiang Ran grinned and didn't care. He flipped his five fingers to grab the knife, but saw the blade roll, and the rolling light made it difficult for him to strike easily. .
Then he entered the knife and swiped it, and heard a ding sound.
The blade of the knife was flicked by Jiang Ran's finger for some reason.
The blade suddenly flew upward.
Jiang Ran laughed and said:
"You kid, have you ever heard of the industry spirit? Yu Qin is desolate and Yu is playful.
"Your sword skills haven't improved much in the past few days.
"You're good at chopping firewood, but if you want to deal with me, you still need some strength.
"Besides... you are too grumpy, aren't you? You eat and drink for free with me, and I ask you for food expenses, and you draw your sword to kill people... This is the behavior of a demon." "
Lion Those who open their mouths are the behavior of a demon!"
After Li Tianxin waved his sword twice, he felt a little calmer.
In fact, Luo Qingyi and Ruan Yuqing were used to this kind of thing.
Jiang Ran would have some quarrels with Li Tianxin from time to time, and would make gestures at every turn.
When Jiang Ran got interested, he even took Li Tianxin to have a discussion.
The length of time varied, but the end result was the same, both ending with Li Tianxin suffering from a bruised nose and swollen face... Fortunately, Jiang Ran was a skilled doctor. Li Tianxin had a bruised nose and swollen face the day before, but he was back to normal the next day.
"Then you're going to give it to me, right?"
"Give it!"
Li Tianxin plucked the banknotes in his hand fiercely, as if they were not money, but Jiang Ran's face was printed on them.
However, after he finished, Li Tianxin was dumbfounded:
"It's not enough for five thousand taels..."
"Not enough, how much is the difference?"
"It's still three thousand two hundred taels short."
"..."
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, you are not enough. Five thousand taels? You don’t even have two thousand taels.
Finally he sighed:
"Forget it, let's pay one year's payment first, and pay for the rest later."
Li Tianxin snorted, took out a few more banknotes and handed them to Jiang Ran.
Seeing how serious they were, Ruan Yuqing couldn't help but said,
"Young Master Jiang... Do I have to hand it over too?
"But I have always been walking around in the world, and I don't have so much money..."
Jiang Ran looked at her. One glance:
"No money..."
Ruan Yuqing was stunned when he heard this, and saw Jiang Ran looking at him with a smile on his lips. His
heart suddenly tightened... His mind began to churn.
Jiang Ran did the same to this girl. I understand.
The Shuiyue Sword Sect, the pure and pure Roushui Sword...
the world knows this.
But Jiang Ran suspects that the Roushui Sword has not been out of the world in the past few years. He is probably just nesting in the Shuiyue Sword Sect, watching something every day. The strange and miscellaneous talk book was gone.
Even without even reacting to a sentence, this girl could interpret different car speeds from unexpected angles.
Immediately, her smile quickly faded:
"What are you thinking about?
"I...I didn't think about anything! " "
Ruan Yuqing's face was calm and calm for a moment.
"...Only a ghost would believe you. Jiang
Ran curled his lips and said,
"Don't worry, you are different from him. If you don't have money, you won't have money." "
That's unreasonable! "
Li Tianxin was furious: "Why is it different? "
" The starting point is different. "
Jiang Ran said: "People follow me because they want to protect my safety. "
"Am I not? " "
Of course not. " "
Jiang Ran spoke righteously: "Not to mention whether you have the ability to protect my safety, what was the reason you gave me in the first place? Could it be that you have even forgotten yourself... You see that I am used to causing trouble, and you want to look for clues around me to trace the traces of the Demon Cult.
"This is so dangerous, so the money you gave is not just food expenses..." "
I..."
Li Tian thought for a long time and found that he couldn't refute.
I was so angry that I jumped for a while.
Ruan Yuqing glanced at Li Tianxin in surprise.
Just as they were about to ask something, Jiang Ran suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them from speaking.
He looked up and looked deep into the forest.
After a while, there was the sound of rustling footsteps.
Luo Qingyi suddenly felt excited.
He stood up eagerly and said,
"Is there finally someone who is not afraid of death?"
As he spoke, the person had already passed through the dark area of the forest and stepped into the light of the fire.
Then he saw the roasted chicken next to the fire. Without thinking, he took a step forward and took a roasted chicken in his hand. He didn't bother to burn his mouth and opened his mouth to eat it.
Jiang Ran glanced at him silently, then waved to Luo Qingyi and told him to sit down.
Then he smiled and said,
"Is it delicious?"
The visitor nodded repeatedly.
"This is ours."
The man said while eating,
"I know..."
His mouth was so full of chicken that he couldn't speak clearly.
Then I heard Jiang Ran say:
"You have to give me money..."
"How much? I have it!"
The visitor was also happy.
Jiang Ran didn't even stutter: "One hundred thousand taels!"
"Pfft!!"
The visitor was unaware and was stabbed in the back by the number. He immediately choked and beat his chest repeatedly. Finally, he coughed and regained his breath. He came and glared at Jiang Ran:
"Young Master Jiang, I haven't seen you for ten months... If you don't want to be a knife hunter, why don't you start robbing families and homes?"
"Senior is joking. I didn't grab anything. It's obviously Mr. Da who came over and grabbed our roast chicken."
Jiang Ran was happy.
The person in front of me was none other than Mr. Da, whom I had met once in Cangzhou Prefecture.
