Chapter 188: On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month
, ever since Jiang Ran possessed internal power, he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats with the Jingshen Nine Swordsman.
Even when facing Zhuge Mingyu, a scholar of Tianji who was well versed in the "Sanjiu Sutra", Jiang Ran never fell into the slightest disadvantage.
On the contrary, it was because the technique of the Jingshen Nine Swordsmanship was so complicated and profound that even the Sanjiu Calculation could not calculate all its changes, which led Zhuge Mingyu to kill him at his neck.
Over time, Jiang Ran even thought that these nine shocking swords were the undefeated martial arts in the world.
But he didn't expect that today, due to an accidental move, the blade of the knife was broken open by this man, and his claws were already in front of his throat.
This flash of lightning was extremely thrilling.
Jiang Ran suddenly took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and kept himself calm. At the same time, he stretched out his body and shook his steps!
Suddenly, a soaring aura emanated from him.
It is like a saint coming to earth, making people subconsciously want to worship him!
This is [Haoran Xing], which is a wonderful footwork. The spirit and the will are in harmony, like a saint coming, shocking Xiao Xiaoxiao in all directions.
One step forward, but the moment the hand came close to Jiang Ran's throat, he subconsciously paused.
Just during this moment, Jiang Ran flashed the broken gold knife in his hand, and the blade arced, trying to take away one of the man's arms.
However, this person's method was extremely weird. He took advantage of the situation and softened his arms. His body rolled along with the blade, his feet flew up and he faced Jiang Ran at the same time.
Jiang Ran bent his arms and grabbed the person's ankle with his thirteen crazy claws.
But he took a step slower, and heard a snap. Jiang Ran's hand touched the sole of the person's shoe, and there was a tear. The person's boots immediately shattered, but the whole person flew away with this force, smiling softly. A voice:
"Nine Shocking Swords, that's all.
" "Jiang Shaoxia, you and I just wait for the future!" "
I want to leave! " ? "
The broken gold knife in Jiang Ran's hand suddenly slashed!
Silently, a blade of light ran like flying, and disappeared from the field of vision along with the figure.
Jiang Ran's face darkened, this person has great Qinggong, this I'm afraid it's hard to really hurt him if he attracts ghosts and spirits...
Moreover, listening to his voice, he is clearly the young master of Zuodaozhuang. He
glanced around again, but there was no trace of the four evil sects.
Presumably, he had already escaped while the two were fighting.
"...Jiang...ahem, Young Master Jiang..."
Jiang Ran wanted to chase after him, but Cheng Tianyang's voice reached his ears.
He turned around and glanced at him. , Jiang Ran's expression was a little strange:
"Mr. Cheng, the bodyguard?
Cheng Tianyang smiled bitterly: "It's guaranteed to be genuine. " Jiang
Ran nodded slightly and came to Cheng Tianyang:
"Where did Mr. Cheng go today?"
"I sent escorts to the Zhou family, but I didn't expect that this time the Zhou family would be captured by Li Daitao and the magpie's nest. "
"I didn't see through their trick. I was attacked by the Snake Sect. After a chaotic fight, I managed to escape from the encirclement. I made some adjustments and then planned to continue tracking the traces of this group. "Even if it doesn't work, I have to recover the things I escorted
.
"I thought this matter was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I didn't expect...ahem...but I didn't expect that I would actually find traces of them.
"That's when I found this place...I was a little late just now, and the... By that time, the Soul-Destroying Formation had already arisen.
"When I heard Jiang Shaoxia's voice in the formation, I started to think of ways to break the formation."
As he spoke, he put down the fireworks tube in his hand:
"The smoke of the soul-destroying formation was specially made by them. Before setting up the formation, These fireworks tubes are hidden underground. Just pull the thread and the smoke will billow out.
"But if the source is removed, the smoke will dissipate completely."
"But, why is Young Master Jiang here? And how come he is fighting with the people in Zuodaozhuang?" "
...Mr. Cheng, the escort leader, doesn't know something."
Jiang Ran told him what Gu Xizhi said after he woke up. Again.
Cheng Tianyang was also present at the time of rescuing Gu Xizhi, so he knew about it.
But after Jiang Ran finished speaking, Cheng Tianyang stayed on the spot.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh:
"If I could have saved the ancient hero at that time, my brothers who have followed me through life and death for so many years might not have died."
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and sighed:
"You and I have nothing to do with it . With front and back eyes, you and I both know five hundred years in the past, but I can't see what happens in the next moment.
"Things in this world are always so confusing that when people think about it afterwards, they always feel... I feel uncomfortable.
"This is what is called, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, but how can you force it?"
Looking back on the past, when Jiang Ran first entered Cangzhou Mansion, if he had not gone to the old drunkard first, he would have found a place to receive the reward. .
If we go to Tang Mansion again, the result will be different.
However, how many people in this life can look at the pros and cons of the overall situation from God’s perspective?
Jiang Ran didn't know about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty that day, and today he didn't know that Gu Xi had something important to tell him. This is the general truth.
Cheng Tianyang sighed:
"Young Master Jiang's words make sense...but Cheng's heart is like this.
" "Actually, after so many years of licking blood with the tip of a knife, I've pretty much seen life and death."
"That's all, let's not talk about this... Jiang Shaoxia, you and I will leave here. I will still follow their traces and find a way to recover those things." "Boss Mr. Cheng, you are seriously injured now..."
"
This This injury is far less than the pain in my heart."
Cheng Tianyang bowed and said, "Farewell."
"Please."
Jiang Ran stopped trying to persuade him after hearing this. It is impossible for people in this world to live according to one person's wishes.
They have their own goals and their own purposes.
There are always some things that others cannot control.
When Cheng Tianyang made his decision, Jiang Ran could only stand here and watch him drift away.
Then he saw Cheng Tianyang standing still, suddenly taking something out of his arms and throwing it towards Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran took it casually, but it was a snuff bottle.
He was slightly startled: "Who is Mr. Cheng's escort?"
"This is the only thing I snatched back from this single escort.
" If Zuo Daozhuang has a plan, this item can definitely help Jiang Shaoxia sort out his thoughts. .
"This batch of items is quite large. If we leave it alone, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster!"
When Cheng Tianyang said this, he bowed and turned away.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, looked at the snuff bottle in his hand, brought it to his nose and smelled it. He was stunned for a moment, then opened the lid and poured the contents into the palm of his hand. The black powder made Jiang Ran raise his eyebrows slightly:
"This is..."
...
...
The cold wind was blowing, and a violent coughing sound came from an uninhabited mountain col.
"Young Master!"
The four evil sects were all behind that man. When they heard this voice, their expressions changed dramatically.
After looking at each other, they knelt down on the ground with a plop:
"We...we have made arbitrary decisions, and we ask the young master to punish us."
The young master looked down at the blood in his palm and let out a breath:
"Twenty years ...Twenty years ago, that man broke into my Zuodaozhuang and killed countless people. No one could stop him. He just took away the most precious treasure of my Zuodaozhuang and walked away...
"His sword skills have been my father's for the past twenty years. Study hard all the time to find a solution.
"But even now, it still can't be broken...
"Nine Jingshen Swords... What a Jingshen Ninth Sword!" !
"Cough cough cough!!"
The young village master's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"But tonight, I finally managed to scare him."
Shenzong Boyan quickly took it out from his arms. Pill: "Young Master, please take the medicine quickly."
"I was injured by his sword energy, and the medicine cannot fully cure it, but if you want to kill me, these are not enough..."
"The matter of Jiaowei, the matter" The stakes are too high to slack off.
"With this thing in hand, major events in Jinyang Mansion will be more certain... After you have made your own decisions today, after this matter, return to Zuodaozhuang and collect the punishment from my father in person. "I can't be with you
. Stay here for a long time, lest... hum. You... act according to the plan! "
After saying this, he flew up and walked away in the blink of an eye.
The Four Evil Sects looked at each other, bowed, and then turned around and left.
After they had left for about half an hour, a figure came slowly, Cheng Tianyang He frowned, staring at the footprints on the ground, and after finally identifying the direction, he chased after him.
...
...
At this time, when the time is said to be slow, it always makes people live like years.
But if it is said to be fast, it seems to fly in the blink of an eye.
Nine The remaining days of the month seemed to be on a shuttle, passing by in the blink of an eye.
But at this moment, the entire Changqing Mansion became lively.
The eighth day of October is right in front of you, and there are many more rivers and lakes in the city. People, everyone in the Changqing Mansion was nervous.
Dao Wuming went out early and came back late, wondering what he was busy with.
Ruan Yuqing occasionally went out and met many old acquaintances, and many people came to Qifeng Villa Visit.
When they learned that Jiang Ran was here, their eyes flickered as if they had seen the future glory and wealth.
But when they found out that Jiang Ran had a disciple named Xuanyuan Yidao, they felt as if they were mourning for their heirs. After being unbelievable, they became dejected.
At the same time , , these days, people often visit Qifeng Villa at night, wanting to find out the details of Jiang Ran.
Unfortunately, these people were suppressed by the people of Qifeng Villa before the disciples of Blood Knife Hall could send them away.
From above After Jiang Ran helped Feng Xianzhi ask about the famous doctor Yan Wushuang, Feng Xianzhi felt grateful for Jiang Ran's kindness and was very respectful to Jiang Ran. Although his attitude was not comparable to that of Xuanyuan Yidao, his apprentice, he still had a destiny. Absolutely.
He didn't want Jiang Ran to be harassed by these Jianghu people when he was in his house.
Therefore, Jiang Ran lived a relatively clean life during this period. Ordinary Jianghu people were stopped by Qifeng Villa, The more advanced ones are waiting in the Blood Sword Hall, and even the masters will have to pass the level of Xuanyuan Yida. It is
worth mentioning that Jiang Ran personally improved the Unbreakable Seven-Star Sword, which opened Xuanyuan Yida's eyes.
Just when he saw this When the eighth sword was struck, his expression was a bit complicated.
It was both joy and loss.
Jiang Ran knew what he was thinking. Ever since the indestructible seven-star sword was handed over to him, he knew what the old man had planned. He didn't care about his official status, but firstly he
wanted to entrust him with a mantle, so as not to lose his inheritance of what he had learned, and secondly, he wanted to find someone to rely on in the Blood Sword Hall so that he wouldn't be in trouble after a hundred years. There was no one in charge of the Blood Sword Hall, and it eventually disappeared into the world.
Only then did he become his master, so as to achieve these two goals.
However, the eighth sword of the seven-star sword, which was indestructible, was created by Jiang Ran and taught to him, which was considered a solid foundation. He took the title of master and disciple.
Even if it had no impact on the little plan in his heart, it was inevitable that he would feel a little disappointed.
After being disappointed, he began to seriously seek advice from Jiang Ran on martial arts.
Xuanyuan Yidao's temperament was actually very pure, and he had no intention of doing so in this life. He has no partner and no heirs. He has dedicated his whole life to the Blood Knife Hall and has just reached the position of one of the thirteen gangs.
All the remaining energy is devoted to martial arts and formations.
Unfortunately, he Yu's talent in formation skills was limited, and he was always ridiculed by Jingtan layman.
Now, under Jiang Ran's guidance, he has made some progress in sword skills. This is something Xuanyuan Yida himself never thought of. Jiang
Ran Then, in this daily routine of playing chess with Ruan Yuqing, drinking tea, studying sword techniques with Xuanyuan Yida, and bickering with Tang Huayi, I slowly spent a few days of real leisure time.
However, as the eighth day of October approaches, Jiang Ran gradually loses his leisure.
Although it is said that everything is left to Yan Wushuang.
But he also had to choose what should be selected, and he had to make two trips to Sunset Ping to figure out how to arrange the table, how to display the Jiaowei Qin, and where Jiang Ran should sit.
No one else can make the decision for him in these matters.
Amidst all these things, time quietly came to the seventh day of October.
...
...
It's night.
In Qifeng Villa, Jiang Ran was playing with the wine gourd in his hand, sitting on a stone bench in the yard, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky.
Shake the gourd gently, open it occasionally and take a sip.
"The autumn breeze is very cool this night. Why don't you rest in your room and wait for the meeting tomorrow?"
Tang Huayi's voice came from one side.
Jiang Ran didn't look back, just pointed to the stool beside him:
"Drink a drink with me?"
"Ordinary wine will not enter my mouth."
Tang Huayi casually put the single knife on the table and sat down:
" What's wrong? You seem to be worried? Are you nervous?
"You started this show yourself. Tomorrow, all the people from all walks of life will come to watch your performance. If you are too nervous to go on stage, the joke will be big." Jiang Ran smiled after hearing this
. , and poured her a glass of wine.
Tang Huayi took it over and smelled it, his eyes lit up:
"Singing high?"
"Singing high, it's really a good wine."
Jiang Ran sighed softly: "Nowadays, the most interesting place for me when looking at the world is Qian Yunshan Villa. But I don't know what kind of place it will be?"
"Qianyun Villa..."
Tang Huayi picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently, as if he was a little reluctant to drink it.
There was no trace of the cow-drinking scene in the carriage that day.
After thinking for a while, she said: "I don't know what Qianyun Villa looks like. But I do know that their family's [Dionysian Art] is a Extremely amazing internal strength. It is said that to practice this martial arts, you need to drink alcohol. The more you drink, the deeper your internal strength will be." "
Oh?"
Jiang Ran's eyes lit up: "Is there such a martial arts in this world? Why do I I didn't know..."
"Aren't you still ignorant and ignorant until now?"
Tang Huayi grinned.
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes at her and played with the jade pendant hanging around his waist.
This jade pendant was hanging here, and he played with it from time to time, making it more and more crystal clear. Even if he looked at it occasionally, he would also think about people when he saw things, and he would think of the miserable Ye Jingshuang when they first met.
Tang Huayi glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, snorted and said,
"Although the Dionysus Technique is powerful, it is not that easy to master.
" Because to increase the power of this internal skill, you need to drink alcohol to avoid getting drunk. can do.
"Everyone's drinking capacity is different. The stronger the wine, the stronger the inner strength of the Dionysian Art will be. However, some people will fall asleep after just one sip of such a strong wine. How can they practice? "So, in order
to In order to cultivate the disciple's drinking ability, the people of Qianyun Villa have to soak in the wine vat since they were young.
"Drinking all day long to stay healthy... is quite difficult.
" "I guess if I were born in this Qianyun Villa, I would probably be the least valued disciple in the family. "
When she said this, her cheeks were slightly stained, and she glanced at Jiang Ran with blurred eyes.
Jiang Ran almost vomited...
A pretty and cute girl looked at a man with blurred eyes. Of course, that was It will make people's hearts flutter.
However, a man with a sallow face, looking at a man like this...
Jiang Ran asked himself,
he really couldn't bear it. He turned his head away unceremoniously:
"You drank too much. "
Not even a cup. " Tang
Huayi curled his lips: "What on earth are you thinking about?" Nervous or uneasy? What exactly will happen tomorrow? You have been busy these past two days, and it seems that not all of it is about things on Sunset Ping... I always feel like you are hiding something from me. Jiang
Ran was delighted when he heard this: "Guess what I'm hiding from you?" "
How did I know..."
Tang Huayi curled her lips: "Actually, I thought you would have a relatively simple mind." Although your master is full of the five poisons, he is not a good person, cheating, cheating, eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. But after all, since you were a child, you have rarely had contact with people with truly sinister thoughts.
"Even if you are a little bit thoughtful,
you are not so deep. "But I don't know what's going on with you. You are like an old monster with many years of history, your mood and anger are invisible... It's hard to guess. “
Even people who live together all day long may not be able to understand everything.
"What's more, you know me from my master's mouth...
" How can you really know me as well as you think, even though we are several worlds apart? "
Jiang Ran shook his head gently:
"Actually, I don't have anything on my mind, I'm just feeling a little emotional.
"All the ups and downs in the world come from profit, and the fighting between grudges and grudges is not as imagined. It's all about the word chivalry." "
These two words are destined to have no fate with you."
Tang Huayi said here At that time, he came to Jiang Ran.
It is true that she does not drink much, but she is also suspected of pretending to be crazy under the influence of alcohol. As soon as she leaned closer, she wanted to get into Jiang Ran's arms.
Jiang Ran's heart moved, and he immediately flicked his sleeves, swayed his figure, and was already in the room, closing the door.
When he lowered his head and took a look, he thought it would irritate his eyes, but he found that the appearance of the person in his arms had changed into Tang Huayi's delicate little face.
She had a peach-like face, and said with a hazy look in her eyes:
"This singing seems to be stronger than Zongyi... Why am I faintly drunk?"
"Why do you say that the word chivalry has nothing to do with me?"
Jiang Ran still remembered what Tang Huayi said outside the room.
Hearing this, Tang Huayi suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Ran. Her eyes were still not clear, and she tried hard to look into Jiang Ran's eyes, then stretched out her hand and dragged Jiang Ran's face.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Tang Huayi was rubbing his hands vigorously.
"..."
Jiang Ran's face was rubbed into various shapes by her.
Tang Huayi laughed proudly, and his legs swayed involuntarily.
Jiang Ran's face was as dark as iron for a moment, and when he was about to speak, Tang Huayi's fingers moved from his face to his heart bit by bit: "Are you a good person or a bad person?" "Huh?"
Jiang
Ran
said. Stunned, although he asked himself that he was not a good person, let alone a gentleman, it would be far-fetched to say that he was a bad person.
Just when he was thinking about how to answer, he heard Tang Huayi say:
"You have to ask your heart...
"Who are you? You have to ask your own heart...
"But, it doesn't matter. If you want to be a knight, just do it." Knight, if you want to be a villain, just be a villain.
"As long as you are you, everything else doesn't matter.
"If you want to be a hero who draws his sword to help when there is injustice on the road, I will...I will be your sword and cut off all the evil in the world. "If you...if you become a bad guy who commits murder,
arson, and commits all kinds of evil...then...then I will also collude with you and kill all the heroes in the world! Jiang
Ran raised his eyebrows and said,
"Why do you have to do this for me?" "
Tang Huayi didn't know whether she heard it or not. She rubbed Jiang Ran's chest and said in a vague voice: "
No matter what you want to do...it's fine...I will accompany you. On and on, until I die..."
In view of the controversial content of this chapter, I considered adding a paragraph. In fact, it is just to write out the content to be written later...
