Chapter 112

Ever since he came out of the Sword Enforcement Division’s courthouse, Jiang Ran felt a bit awkward.

This trip had given him some indescribable feelings towards the Sword Division’s office.

If he had to say that he was disgusted, it wasn’t so much.

However, there were always a few more scruples in his heart.

“Every knife catcher who has a knife catching order will be followed by a person like a green beaver.

“Although it is said that it is not always followed around, it still makes people feel awkward ah.

“Is it because you’re worried that the knife won’t work well?”

Jiang Ran shook his head, his purpose was actually very simple.

Through the sea arrest paperwork issued by the imperial court, he took people to live.

In the process, making more money, he could one day live to the end of his life, and after he washed his hands of the gold pot, he could also make his life a little better.

Why did the court open the Sword Enforcement Division, and why did they toss the Sword Enforcement Division Yamen into such secrecy.

Jiang Ran didn’t want to care, nor could he.

In the final analysis, he is just a man of cloth, the court is too far away, and he has nothing to do with it.

As long as there is no more than his bottom line, let them go.

However, if he let this green beaver follow him, even if it was not close to him, it would give Jiang Ran a feeling of being controlled by others.

More worried, under the subtle influence, inadvertently do something that he originally did not want to do.

Then the situation would become very troublesome.

Therefore, Jiang Ran refused very simply.

When he stepped out from the narrow alley and came to the crowded street of Cangzhou Prefecture, these things were put behind him for the time being.

Walking along the street, Jiang Ran still went back to the inn first.

He collected the rewards he had gotten from the Yang Yue Er Jun.

Ten years of internal strength was naturally unnecessary, he had long gotten used to it by now.

Rather, it was the Cold Moon Great – Law that was worth mentioning.

It was originally a superior martial art.

As Jiang Ran’s mind moved, a bias of the Vast Misty Heart Technique flowed through his heart at once.

Just like the Da Brahma Vajra Skill session, as the Cold Moon True Qi was born from the dantian, every bit of it sent out was swept away by the Creation Positive Heart Sutra.

This time, Jiang Ran had enough experience than the last time, so he first gave himself a Positive Heart Finger.

Only afterward did he assist the Creation Positive Heart Sutra in digesting the Cold Moon True Qi.

The time this time was quite a bit less than the last time, and after an hour and a half, Jiang Ran had opened his eyes and slowly landed on the bed from mid-air.

He spread out his palm, and a touch of cold qi naturally arose, followed by condensing into an ice nail, undulating and jumping on top of his palm.

“Cold Moon Nail ……”

Jiang Ran casually flung his hand, and the ice nail collapsed, but his heart was out of breath.

Now with the Cold Moon Great Law, Jiang Ran naturally knew a lot about the Cold Moon Nail.

It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Ran knew that this Cold Moon Nail could never be underestimated.

This nail is to cold moon true qi condensed into, among the wrapped in cold poison, once hit, the opponent is not only being broken by the pain unbearable, more will have cold poison into the body.

If there is no expert to help expel it, even if it seems to run away, it is just delaying the death.

Nowadays, Jiang Ran didn’t use the Cold Moon True Qi to catalyze it, but instead used the Creation Positive Heart Sutra, fused with the Cold Moon Great – Law’s coldness, and shaped the Cold Moon Nail, with even more of a ‘Seemingly Wielding Infinity’ essence in it, and a surge in its power.

“It can be said to be a relatively vicious martial art.”

Jiang Ran gave an evaluation in his heart.

And within the Cold Moon Grand – Law, there was not only the Cold Moon Nail as a means.

In addition to this, there was also a grappling technique called [Cold Moon Theater], as well as a set of [Condensing Water into Ice] techniques.

Especially the latter, the plasticity is extremely strong.

Only, need to have water to be able to perform.

Otherwise, one would have to use one’s own blood as a guide, just like Yin Yue Niang, and condensing blood into ice would be equally feasible.

Lastly, there is a move in the internal martial arts [Cold Moon in the Sky], which stimulates the body’s internal energy, leaps into the air, and is shaped like a cold moon, and hammers down with a loud bang.

According to the secret book, it is ‘cold air like boiling, ice burning the eight deserts’.

Whether this is an exaggeration or not is a matter of opinion.

Jiang Ran thought that the Great Brahma Vajra Skill and the Cold Moon Dafa, which were accommodated in the Creation of the Heart Sutra, seemed to be able to be linked together through the Creation of the Heart Sutra.

Only after he tried his hand at bull-dozing, he realized that it wasn’t as easy as he had imagined.

After all, these two martial arts were worlds apart and had no similarities, borrowing the Creation Positive Heart Sutra to thread the needle, only then was it possible to coalesce.

But this required careful attempts at deduction, and should not be ventured into.

Moreover, Jiang Ran carefully thought about it, if the combination of these two martial arts, when he performs the Great Brahma Vajra Skill, the vajra who is already wearing a robe, with a cold moon behind his back …….

Wouldn’t the painting style become a bit strange?

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ran stopped thinking about it.

Instead, he went to find Liu Wenshan to chat.

When it was late in the evening, Ye Shocking Frost returned with Ming Yue, and both girls were exhausted.

But the harvest was good.

Listed a lot of fancy mansions, large and small.

The most expensive price has a huge ten thousand taels, Jiang Ran glanced at the Tang House ……

This home is indeed large …… one after another, one courtyard after another.

The people of the Tang family were empty overnight, and this huge mansion was taken back by the government.

I guess Guo Chong is still in that will be the handiwork.

Now also marked price, to sell.

Jiang Ran thought for a moment, this mansion is too big, two people living is really not guilty, then naturally skipped.

It is estimated that even Ye Shocking Frost did not intend to really let Jiang Ran take this set of mansion.

But it is just to inform him.

The others are some more normal priced mansions.

Some of the more expensive ones are only a few hundred taels, and the cheapest ones are able to be taken down by a few dozen taels.

Only, this kind of is not very suitable.

At least Jiang Ran didn’t feel it was appropriate.

No matter what, on the surface, this mansion is not given to Liu Wenshan, otherwise there is no reason for Jiang Ran to pay for it.

If Jiang Ran were to purchase his own property, with his current wealth, he naturally would not buy a small house that could be taken down with a few dozen taels of silver.

After picking and choosing, he finally chose a moderately sized three-inch courtyard.

The price was a three hundred and fifty taels.

The courtyard wasn’t too big, and the three-entry gateway was also due to the layout.

Two people living will not feel too empty.

The front yard, the courtyard and the back yard, there are four rooms, plus the ear room and the main room, can live a lot of people.

The more Jiang Ran looked at the courtyard, the more he thought it was good, and after discussing it with Liu Wenshan, Liu Wenshan didn’t get too entangled, so he nodded and agreed.

Now the time is not early, it is not good to go to do, then with Ye Qingshuang agreed, tomorrow morning to go to the mansion to buy down.

This side of the crowd has decided, and then turned back, found Li Tianxin a lost look, walked into the door of the inn.

Raising her eyes to look around, her eyes were empty.

Jiang Ran was a bit puzzled:

“Why this look? Does this Zhi Painting still have the ability to eat people?”

Ye Shockfang was also a bit surprised, and her brain began to suppress her fantasies.

What if this ZhiPainting has evil intentions?

If Li Tianxin had followed her out on this trip, wouldn’t she have met with some misfortune?

Could it be that there was a conspiracy in this?

At this time, Li Tianxin finally focused his eyes on Jiang Ran and his party, and immediately darted over, picking up Jiang Ran’s wine bowl and drying it.

He let out a long breath, as if he had just come back to his senses.

After looking at Jiang Ran for a while, he stood up with a huff:

“I’ll go ahead! After you guys are done with your business, come back to me.”

“Huh?”

While Jiang Ran and the others were stunned, they saw that he had already hurried up the stairs.

A moment later, carrying his own bag, he came back down.

After nodding to Jiang Ran and the others, he grabbed the door and ran out, turning his eyes and running away without a trace.

Only Jiang Ran and the others were left staring at each other.

Liu Wenshan had a confused look on his face:

“What did this child encounter?”

“I see that sister, doesn’t seem like a bad person ……”

Ming Yue also voiced her opinion in a low voice.

Ye Shockfang and Jiang Ran glanced at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

This falling away posture, either being taken advantage of, or taking advantage of others, guessing that the third possibility could not be picked out left and right.

However, looking at his appearance, most likely did not suffer any losses, so he did not put it on his mind.

The remaining two days, Jiang Ran and Ye Shocking Frost in addition to busy house things, is to find people to Liu Wenshan arrange work.

To this end, Jiang Ran made another trip to the Sword Execution Department’s office to seek help from Boss Liu.

Mr. Liu took care of everything and put Jiang Ran’s mind at ease.

In fact, this was also true, for him, some things were just a greeting.

Jiang Ran went to him in the morning, in the afternoon things have been arranged.

Let Liu Wenshan in the Cangzhou Prefecture government-run academy as a teacher.

This was the end of the matter.

Other than that, nothing much happened during this period, it was all very peaceful.

That is, on the second day Zhang Zhi painting and door looking for Li Tianxin, know that Li Tianxin has run away, for a moment some soul.

After that, she didn’t continue to visit the door.

After Jiang Ran and Ye Qingshen had almost finished arranging things, they said goodbye to Liu Wenshan and Mingyue, and continued their journey to Red Maple Mountain.

Liu Wenshan and Mingyue were a bit reluctant to leave, and sent them all the way out of the gate of Cangzhou Mansion before stopping.

Looking at Jiang Ran and Ye Shocking Frost’s silhouettes gradually disappeared from view.

Liu Wenshan turned around to leave, but found Mingyue standing there still not moving.

He couldn’t help but be stunned and carefully sized up his daughter for a couple of moments before he sighed and patted her on the shoulder.

Ming Yue was dumbfounded and looked up at Liu Wenshan, her eyes a little red.

Liu Wenshan, on the other hand, smiled:

“Go home.”

“En.”

With this, father and daughter turned around and turned back to Cangzhou Mansion.

Just after taking two steps, Ming Yue couldn’t help but look back again, only at this time, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see the silhouettes of those two people.

……

……

Red Maple Mountain needed to go all the way south.

To say far, in fact is not too far, after all, that night the Ye family accident, Ye Shocking cream all the way to escape, but half a night’s work will run into Jiang Ran.

In accordance with the normal footsteps, playing this Cangzhou province departed, half a month’s effort basically able to arrive.

If you use light power to hurry, or ride a horse, the distance can be shortened by almost half.

Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshang were riding on horseback this time.

The two of them traveled at dawn and at night, and were in no hurry.

Although Jiang Ran had been worried about the old drunkard earlier, now that he knew that the old drunkard was extraordinary and was far away from the Jin Yang Prefecture.

He was in no hurry at all.

If he wanted to go to the Jin Yang Province, he would still have to cross the mountains, almost crossing the entire Golden Cicada Dynasty’s territory.

This wouldn’t be able to arrive in a day or two.

He has already calculated, this journey is to see the scenery of the rivers and lakes, no longer as eager as before.

Eat some delicious, see some good-looking, not to live up to their lives.

And the reason why I am determined to go to the Red Maple Leaf family line.

In addition to letting Ye Shocking Frost feel at ease, Jiang Ran also planned to make a trip to that Sun family home.

Although Jiang Ran felt that the rewards of the knife catching task were pitiful.

But …… the whereabouts of the burnt tail qin had finally been obtained by him.

Since he had gotten it, there was no reason not to go look for it.

Otherwise, if something unexpected really happened, resulting in the Jiao Tail Qin for the next person, Jiang Ran’s heart will still not be too comfortable.

This day, the two people traveled to a place where there is no village in front of them, and no store behind them, but they saw the clouds rolling in, and saw that the sky was about to change again.

“Recently this weather is really nonsense, hot when hot, cloudy when boring to death.

“It’s easy to look forward to a rain, right, and it’s taking advantage of the fact that we’re both rushing outside.”

Jiang Ran glanced at the sky overhead and couldn’t help but mutter a couple sentences.

Ye Jingshang, on the other hand, laughed:

“That’s how the sky has unpredictable weather.”

“That’s because there’s no weather forecast.”

“???”

Ye Jingshang was a little confused again, after spending a long time with Jiang Ran, she could always hear some strange and unheard of words from Jiang Ran’s mouth.

And whenever she wanted to look deeper, Jiang Ran would wave his hand:

“Don’t care about the details.”

Ye Qingshen also stopped dwelling on it.

Her eyes turned, but she suddenly froze:

“Big brother Jiang, look over there ……”

Following Ye Jingshuang’s finger, he saw a small building in the distance.

This place where there was no village in front and no store at the back, next to the avenue, there was actually such a place?

The two people glanced at each other, both feeling that something was not quite right.

“Have you seen it in the past?”

Jiang Ran casually asked Ye Jingshuang.

After all, this place was not too far away from Red Maple Mountain.

The moment Ye Jingfang shook her head, the rain stars in the sky had already fallen, bean-sized raindrops hitting all over, it was evident that this rain was holding back its energy.

Once it did fall, it would be a downpour.

Jiang Ran nodded at this:

“Riding a horse in this weather is too treacherous.

“This family is just the right place to take if there is a problem.

“If there’s no problem, we’ll borrow a night …… to wait for the rain to stop before we go on our way.

“But still have to be careful and keep an eye out for some, don’t turn over in the gutter.”

“Good.”

Ye Jingshuang nodded and had no extra comments.

Jiang Ran’s martial arts were world-class, and his own swordsmanship was also quite good, with this backbone, even if there was really something odd about this place, yet there was no need to worry too much.

At that moment, the two of them urged their horses forward.

That small building is not too far away from them, in a few moments, has arrived in front.

In front of the building there is still a small courtyard, which raised some chickens and ducks.

At this time are locked in the cage, shivering, waiting for the rainstorm to come.

In the courtyard around, there are some carriages scattered, but no horses.

It was expected to have been placed elsewhere.

In addition to this, on the wall of this small building, there was also a large strainer hanging.

If you go out and come across a house that doesn’t have an inn sign, and there is a big strainer hanging outside, it means that it is also an inn.

You can spend money to stay, buy food and drink place.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran also Ye Shocking Frost glanced at each other and rolled over and got off the horse.

As he was walking inside, he saw a middle-aged man welcome him out from inside the door:

“The two of you quickly enter the house, I’ll place your footmen.”

The so-called ‘footing’ was Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang’s horse.

Jiang Ran said thank you and handed the reins over to the middle-aged man, then led Ye Qingshuang into the door.

They had just entered the door, when they heard a loud bang and a thunderstorm, and then turned around, the rain had already fallen.

Jiang Ran shook off the water stains on his hands and looked back at Ye Jingfang:

“So close.”

Ye Jingshang nodded and looked inside, this first floor was made into a hall.

There were quite a few tables and chairs set up, and at this time, scattered guests were sitting in the middle, drinking tea and wine and gossiping casually.

Some of them were merchants who were on their way, and there were also some Jianghu people with weapons.

From the looks of it, it was quite harmonious.

For the two of them, they didn’t pay too much attention to them, and after sweeping a glance, they didn’t pay attention to them.

Behind the counter there was a shopkeeper who was taking notes.

Jiang Ran and Ye Shocking Frost came to the front, the shopkeeper glanced at the two of them, and without waiting for them to open their mouths, he said:

“There are still quite a few guests in a hurry today, but there’s just one room left up there today ……

“What do you two say?”

Ye Shockfang glanced at Jiang Ran, while Jiang Ran smiled:

“That’s just enough.”

In fact, even if there was still room in this inn, Jiang Ran planned to ask for a room.

It wasn’t that he had anything against Ye Jingshuang.

It was mainly because it was an extraordinary place, and someone had to be vigilant.

One room and one bed, with two people taking turns to rest, was the best way.

“Good good good.”

The shopkeeper nodded his head at once, and was about to be saying something when he saw that middle-aged man outside the door had already walked in, drenched to the bone.

That shopkeeper even waved at him:

“Old Wang, you take them upstairs.”

“Good.”

Old Wang’s face was full of simplicity, and when he sniffed, he just shook his head, then smiled at Jiang Ran and Ye Jingfang:

“The two of you follow me.”

As he spoke, he staggered past them and headed for the second floor.

Jiang Ran gazed at this person, just outside a hurried glimpse was not noticed, at this time listen carefully, this person’s breathing is light, if there seems to be nothing, there is a peculiar law hidden in it.

It seems that every moment, are running a subtle method of mind.

Paraphrasing his heavy footsteps, as if he will not martial …… arts

It is a bit odd.

The stairs were in disrepair, and every step on them made a creaking sound.

In a few moments, the three of them had arrived upstairs.

That old king led them to a room and said with a smile:

“This is the room for you two.

“If you need anything, just greet me anytime.

“Staying here, meals are free, but you can’t pick and choose, what’s in the store, you eat.

“If you want to eat something else, then you have to give silver at the price …… Right, you have to give silver for drinking as well.”

Jiang Ran listened while nodding his head, and just as he heard this, there was the sound of horses’ hooves arriving in front of the inn.

Obediently lowered his head to see, a few fast-footed have already entered the door.

Just saw a young man shouting out:

“Damn, this ghost weather, simply want to kill people.

“Where is the shopkeeper? What kind of good wine and good food are given to bring up, the silver can’t be short of you.”

Jiang Ran looked at him slightly stunned, this person …… is the young man who designed Zhang Zhi painting in the middle of the woods that day.

How did he run here?
