Chapter 141: Acceptance of the Marriage
"One hundred thousand taels for a roast chicken! You still say you are not robbing a house?"
Mr. Da wiped the oil from his beard and said angrily: "Which roast chicken is so expensive? "
It's mine."
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"Besides, I didn't buy or sell by force. Mr. Da didn't ask the price and ate it as soon as he came.
"It doesn't matter if Mr. Da doesn't want to pay. If my roasted chicken is returned to me intact, it will be settled. "
..."
Mr. Da looked at the half-eaten roast chicken and was speechless for a while.
He had already eaten half of it. Even if he could spit it out, how could he keep it intact?
Finally he sighed:
“Can I owe it? "
Okay. " Jiang
Ran glanced at Ruan Yuqing and said,
"Miss Ruan, you are an expert of the Shuiyue Sword Sect. Mr. Da eats my roasted chicken and owes me one hundred thousand taels. You have to be a witness." Mr.
Da also glanced at Ruan Yuqing and said,
"It turns out that Roushuijian was in front of her. He was so hungry just now that he didn't see Ruan Nuxia clearly."
"Please forgive me."
"Mr. Da, you have spoken harshly."
Ruan Yuqing rolled her eyes at Jiang Ran first, and then smiled at Mr. Da,
"Mr. Da's whereabouts are elusive. The dragon has always seen its head but never its tail. How could it appear here?"
"It's not because of the head of Jiang University."
Mr. Da stroked his beard and took another bite of the roast chicken.
If you owe one hundred thousand taels, how can you not eat this roast chicken?
While eating, he said vaguely:
"I heard that Young Master Jiang has done several big things recently.
" The young master of Zuodaozhuang showed up in Benma County, but he came back defeated.
"Twenty years later, the two kings of Yang and Yue came back to the world, but both of them died.
" After that, after returning to Hongfeng Villa, a release chapter attracted the five major sword sects to come out...but they disappeared without a trace.
"Jiao Weiqin's joy in choosing a wise master has caused a new disturbance.
"In the battle of the Sanhe Gang, Wu Zhong, the great eunuch who had been in the world for many years, was crowned.
"Back then, the Sanshui Demon Lord who was feared by people in the waters of Sanhe was killed by a knife in the palm of his hand.
" Even if I retell this series of incidents, I feel my blood is racing.
"Not to mention that you are now carrying the Jiaowei Qin and planning to go to Sunset Ping of Sanxian Mountain to hold a tea tasting and
Qin appreciation conference! "How can such a grand event in the world not include me?
"Then we chased him slowly all the way. We haven't eaten a grain of rice for several days. We were really thirsty for morning dew and endured our hunger.
"Who would have thought that after catching up, we would recover a debt of one hundred thousand taels.
"Mr. Da, this is also... not easy for you. " "
Ruan Yuqing resisted the urge to laugh. After all, she is a well-known master in the world.
Now she can be regarded as the face of Shuiyue Sword Sect in the world.
This kind of cultivation is still necessary.
"Yes. "
Mr. Da sighed, and then looked at Jiang Ran:
"Jiang Shaoxia, tell me.
"After the battle in Cangzhou Prefecture, how did you develop a grudge against Zuo Daozhuang? How did you kill the Second Lord of Yangyue? After that, whether Shi Pingzhang was alive or dead... How did you get to know the Sanhe Gang? "
Netherworld How mysterious is the magic power?
"I have already thought about it, and I plan to write a book and biography specifically for you in the future.
"The title of the book is... [The Legend of the Golden Cicada]!
"It will definitely be spread throughout the world in the future, and even spread throughout the ages!"
Jiang Ran grinned after hearing this.
In fact, he didn't find it strange whenever the old man appeared in front of him.
After all, he has indeed done a lot of things recently.
His reputation is growing day by day.
This is very attractive to organizations similar to Bai Xiaosheng in the world.
It's just that he's not interested in this...
and these questions he asked are nothing more than other questions. He really knows what is the mystery of this Nether Demonic Art.
Although from the reward of Sanshui Demon Lord, I did not get this person's martial arts.
But Jiang Ran obtained the true copy of the Nether Demonic Skill from his corpse.
He also looked through it two days ago, and there was indeed no written text on it, it was all pictures.
Several highly toxic substances marked in it have their own names.
At the same time, several kung fu skills are also recorded.
The Nether God Palm and the Netherworld Bone Claw are among them.
It's just that after Jiang Ran saw these martial arts, he didn't feel that they were too surprising.
The moves are not very subtle, and they have miraculous effects because they are activated by poison power, which makes them incredibly powerful.
What really concerned Jiang Ran was the several prescriptions recorded at the end.
Each of these types of elixirs has its own merits, but they are all based on the Nether Demonic Art.
Jiang Ran wanted to take these elixir recipes as his own, but for a while there was no suitable way to replace this skill.
If Jiang Ran is asked to practice by himself...he doesn't have the leisure to do so.
I have no choice but to keep it for now and leave it to be considered later.
In addition, Jiang Ran actually discovered that the reason why this martial art is called a magic skill is actually mainly because it is too bloody and cruel.
As far as martial arts itself is concerned, it is essentially different from those demonic martial arts that kill people.
Because practicing this martial art does not harm others...all the poison is introduced into oneself.
Except for the miserable poisonous insects used for cultivation, it does no harm to anyone.
What to do with it after cultivation and where to use it all depends on the cultivator's own character.
If you use it right, you will be right; if you use it wrong, you will be evil.
However, Jiang Ran was not interested in discussing these matters in detail with Mr. Da.
Li Tianxin was quite interested. After all, after leaving Cangzhou Mansion, he met Jiang Ran again at the Zuodaozhuang gathering.
The two of them have been together since then.
He also knew most of the things Jiang Ran knew.
Then I started talking casually with Mr. Da.
Mr. Da listened with great interest. He took out the pen and ink from his pocket, dipped the tip of the pen on his tongue, and began to write.
Listen while writing, and ask questions when you encounter something you don’t understand.
There was something Li Tianxin didn't know himself, so he went to ask Jiang Ran...
Until several people finished their meal, Mr. Da was still in high spirits. Li Tianxin's mouth was dry and he had to stop talking.
Mr. Da didn't care. He just smiled and said,
"Then let's wait until tomorrow. Let's talk tomorrow."
"Mr. Da, are you planning to follow?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
"It's natural."
Mr. Da smiled and said:
"The tea tasting and piano appreciation conference has already caused waves in the world.
"The legendary Jiaowei Qin is one of the twelve heavens.
"How many people will hear the news of this thing appearing in the world? Compared with the so-called heroes meeting in Cangzhou Prefecture, this is a real grand event. "Of course I have to
follow Young Master Jiang...
" Record What Jiang Shaoxia saw and heard along the way.
"My article [The Legend of the Golden Cicada] is going to take this tea and piano appreciation meeting as the first chapter. "
...As long as you are happy, old man. " "
Jiang Ran picked up the wine gourd and took a sip:
"But don't forget to pay back the hundred thousand taels of silver you owe me... I regard money as my life, so don't wait for me to ask you for it. "
..."
Mr. Da was speechless for a long time.
Ruan Yuqing frowned slightly:
"Mr. Da, maybe you can tell me how many people are already paying attention to the tea and piano appreciation ceremony in Sunset Ping?" "
That's hard to say..."
Mr. Da said with his fingers:
"As far as I know, there are Wenxiang Academy in Wenxiang Mountain, Tingyu Tower in Huanqiu Lake, and Qifeng in Changqing Mansion." Villa.
"There are also some arty people in the world, such as 'Zhuoqin' Yan Wenge, 'Yinling' Shang Yue'er and others...
"As for the secret ones, there are more.
"I just don't know the specific ones.
" But I know that Jiang Shaoxia had some grudges with Wufang Guike, and Tuwulang died at the hands of Jiang Shaoxia.
"The remaining four seem to be heading towards Sanxian Mountain recently... but we have to be on guard."
After hearing this, Ruan Yuqing frowned slightly:
"There are people from the 1st sect, 2nd society, 5th sword sect, 7th sect and 13th gang. Movement?"
"I have never heard of this."
Mr. Da said:
"The Thirteen Gangs are mostly a group of reckless men, and there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in them. It is hard to say whether they will show up.
"As for the Seven Sects... maintaining their own identities, even if they have something to do, If you pay attention, it probably won’t really come to an end.
"Not to mention the Five Swords. Seeing that you are by Jiang Shaoxia's side, I don't expect you to covet the Jiaowei Qin.
"As for one sect and two meetings.
"Daoyizong will definitely not care about Jiao Weiqin.
"But what Shanhaihui and Baizhenhui will do, only they themselves know.
"Especially the Baizhen Society... they like to collect rare treasures, and they may not be interested in Jiaowei.
" I heard that the whereabouts of Yan Wushuang, the vice-president of the Baizhen Society, has been a mystery recently, but I don't know if he will come. This Sanxian Mountain..."
"Baizhen Club..."
Jiang Ran glanced at Mr. Da:
"Mr. Da also knows something about Baizhen Club?
"I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who don't understand this Baizhen Society. " Ruan
Yuqing shook his head, but looked at Jiang Ran in surprise:
"Don't you know?" "
"He is so ignorant that he knows a hammer. "
Li Tianxin snorted, not missing any opportunity to ridicule Jiang Ran.
Ruan Yuqing was a little strange.
The hierarchy in this world is often based on martial arts.
The higher the martial arts, the higher the level, often The more powerful you are with your vision and knowledge.
It's a bit strange that Jiang Ran has such a high level of martial arts but so little knowledge.
However, he didn't pay attention to this thought. He just smiled and said:
"Speaking of the Baizhen Club, Jiang Shaoxia might as well take a look at his hands. of banknotes. "
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about why Baizhen was so familiar.
He immediately took a look at a banknote and saw the four characters 'Baizhen Bank' on the top. Naturally, there
was not only one bank in the Jin Chan Dynasty.
Each prefecture and county has its own bank, but Baizhen Bank is the only one that can open the entire Jin Chan Dynasty.
At the same time, other banknotes are often not interchangeable.
Only Baizhen Bank, even if it is with other banks If you take a banknote, you can also exchange it for silver, and vice versa.
Therefore, many vendors who travel around the world only recognize Baizhen Bank.
This can save them a lot of trouble.
"I see..."
Jiang Ran He sighed in admiration: "This is holding financial power... This Baizhen Society is probably not just an organization in the world, but also has inextricable connections with the imperial court, right?
"Although there is no evidence to prove this, it is not wrong to guess. "
Ruan Yuqing nodded: "After all, it is impossible for this court to let an organization in the world have such a huge wealth .
"It's just that we can't know what the relationship is."
Jiang Ran nodded thoughtfully.
Just listen to Ruan Yuqing say:
"Whether it is overt or covert, things will not be small this time. You have to be careful." "
Miss Ruan has said this eight hundred times."
Jiang Ran smiled hoarsely:
"I myself Be careful, don't worry."
After several people said this, Jiang Ran suddenly looked up at the sky:
"What's going on?"
Everyone also looked up at the sky, and saw the sky dotted with stars, the cold moon like a hook... there was nothing Strange.
Li Tianxin lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Ran again:
"Did you see something in the sky?"
"I didn't see it, I heard it."
Jiang Ran said with a strange expression:
"It's already Xu Shi, how could I hear it? Is there a sound of a wedding reception?"
"A marriage reception?"
Ruan Yuqing and others were stunned.
Jiang Ran has great martial arts skills and his ear skills are far superior to everyone present.
Since he said so, he couldn't be wrong.
But in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, who is getting married at this time?
"Is it a secret marriage?"
Ruan Yuqing spoke softly, looking at Mr. Da as he spoke.
As a member of Wenmo Pavilion, Mr. Da is well-informed and can probably give an answer.
As a result, Mr. Da couldn't hear, and he could see his eyes, nose, mouth, and heart...
"Huh?"
Jiang Ran noticed Ruan Yuqing's gaze and patted Mr. Da on the shoulder:
"Why doesn't Mr. Da speak?
" The gentleman smiled bitterly and said,
"Young Master Jiang, please don't embarrass me.
" Not to mention that I don't know what's going on. Even if I know, I can't talk about it.
"What I just said is even if I pick up the fare for Jiang Shaoxia on the road.
"Everything that happens after that, I will only be a spectator..."
Jiang Ran looked at this gentleman and nodded lightly:
"Okay. "
Mr. Da breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Then he wrote quickly and recorded what he saw.
Jiang Ran and the others did not make any preparations, but were just careful. After a while, Ruan Yuqing and others also listened. When we arrived at the sound of gongs and drums,
we followed the sound and saw a group of people gradually appearing from a distance.
However, what attracted everyone's attention more was the green firelight.
As the sound of beatings approached , , this group of people also completely appeared in front of Jiang Ran and others.
There were people beating gongs and drums to clear the way, some holding lanterns in their hands, and some holding high wooden signs with the words "Luan and Phoenix sing together, a hundred years of good harmony" and other words.
In the middle is an eight-carriage sedan.
However, ordinary sedans are red, but this eight-carriage sedan is pale.
Even the silk hanging on the sedan is white.
Lanterns are hung on the four corners of the sedan, and inside the lanterns But it wasn't the ordinary firelight, but a faint green light.
It didn't look festive, but there was a strange gloomy atmosphere.
Not only that, whether it was the gongs and drums in front, or the one following the sedan The beautifully dressed women all had pale faces and thick blush on their cheeks.
Each of them had a smile on their face.
They seemed to be cheering for the upcoming happy event.
But the smile was extremely stiff. .
It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands that forcibly pulled up the corners of their mouths and fixed them on their faces, making them unable to help but smile.
But no matter how bright their smiles were, there was no smile at all in their eyes.
Even... ...Without any anger!
Seeing such a scene, Li Tianxin suddenly took a step back subconsciously:
"Are they humans or ghosts?
"Could it be that a ghost is marrying you?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him with some surprise:
"What a fuss...where have you been who is usually aloof?
" "You are not afraid of anything, so why are you afraid of ghosts?"
"...Afraid, what's wrong with being afraid of ghosts? "
Li Tianxin said angrily: "How can there be anyone in this world who is not afraid of ghosts? " "
Please keep your voice down..."
Ruan Yuqing said softly:
"Are you trying to attract them to look over?"
"If you are captured by them and become a groom, don't say I didn't warn you..."
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Are you afraid too?"
Ruan Yuqing's face was calm and calm:
"What are you afraid of?
" Wherever there are any monsters or monsters, they are just people pretending to be gods. "
As soon as she said this, she saw the strange wedding team in front of her suddenly stopped.
As if she had noticed something.
The sound of gongs and drums was instantly quiet, and even the smiles on their faces suddenly turned into... His face was expressionless.
He began to look around at the same time, as if looking for traces.
Ruan Yuqing immediately covered his mouth tightly, turned around, and hid directly behind Jiang Ran.
But he touched someone on his shoulder, and when he raised his head, it was exactly Li Tianxin.
The two of them reacted exactly the same.
After being frightened, they hid behind Jiang Ran at the same time...
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while. He
had said his vows just now, what was he hiding now?
Luo Qingyi clenched his fists, faintly. He wanted to take action... He really believed that there were no monsters or monsters in the world, and that human hearts were far more sinister than ghosts!
At this time, the group of people had finished their search and seemed to have found nothing. Even
Jiang Ran and the others clicked None of the fires attracted their attention. He
started beating the gongs and drums again, put a smile on his face again, and continued to walk forward.
But after a while, the group of people had gone far.
Jiang Ran stared for a moment, then flew out and arrived. They briefly investigated where they were passing.
Luo Qingyi and Mr. Da followed closely behind.
Finally, those who followed hesitantly were Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing.
However, the performance of these two people was different.
Although Ruan Yuqing's expression was A little pale, but he still looked calm and calm.
Li Tianxin, who usually likes to hold his head,
was really frightened this time.
His whole face showed obvious rejection...
Jiang Ran Seeing it funny, he deliberately said in a deep voice:
"Why are there no footprints on the ground? Luo
Qingyi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the messy footprints on the ground and fell into deep thought.
Li Tianxin shrank back subconsciously:
"It's a ghost, it must be a ghost!"
"We must have bumped into a ghost bride."
"A ghost bride... is quite interesting."
Jiang Ran said, "Aren't you curious, what does the groom look like? Is the ghost bride pretty?"
Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing At the same time, he shook his head:
"Not curious!!"
"Then wait for me here. I'm very curious and plan to go and have a look."
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he jumped up and chased the team in front.
Luo Qingyi and Mr. Da quickly followed.
Only Ruan Yuqing and Li Tianxin were left looking at each other.
When the cold wind blows, it sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The two people were excited at the same time, looked at each other, and followed Jiang Ran's trail without thinking.
