Chapter 158.
Jiang Ran said these words.
Gu Xi Zhi and Jing Tan Jushi, however, glanced at each other, realizing that in each other’s eyes, there were all colors of astonishment and uncertainty.
He saw that Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword’s lips open and close, talking to Jingtan Jushi with the method of transmitting sound into the secret:
“What he used just now seems to be the Subterranean Shadow Fascination Steps!
“Is he a member of the Soothsayer Sect?
“This sect leaked too many secrets back in the day, and eventually perished in the jungle.
“Only left a Liao Chengfeng, every day nonsense, and later also do not know where.
“Is this son …… a disciple of Liao Chengfeng?”
Jingtan Jushi, however, frowned:
“No, you see that ice nail …… that is clearly the Yang Yue two monarchs in the middle, the moon monarch Yin Yue Niang’s cold moon nail.
“But when he performs, but do not see the cold moon big – method of Yin cold gas.
“The condensation of Qi into ice yet it is done in a single breath.
“The depth of attainment, I’m afraid it’s still above the Yin Yue Niang in the past.
“How could such a person worship Liao Chengfeng as his teacher? Liao Chengfeng doesn’t have such qualifications.”
These two people were both good fighters in the jianghu, and although they had no clan or sect, they had seen a lot of things.
Watching Jiang Ran perform his martial arts, they easily recognized the way it came.
It was just that Gu Xi Zhi didn’t quite recognize what Jing Tan Jushi had said:
“When the Cold Moon Great – Law is executed, the cold air is so cold, but this son’s internal energy is neutral and calm.
“Although I don’t know what method he used to condense that ice nail, it is definitely not the Cold Moon Great – Method.”
“Then what other martial arts do you think there are under the heavens that can condense qi into ice?”
“That’s too many …… Autumn Leaf Ice God Palace in the [Lei Frost Cold Qi], Lei Guo Xiaochun Zhuang’s [Severe Frost Knotting Court Orchid], and Qing Guo ……”
Seeing Gu Xi Zhi rambling, talking endlessly.
Jingtan Jushi hurriedly interrupted:
“You shut up …… the more you talk, the more you lose the edge.”
Gu Xi Zhi skimmed his mouth, feeling that what he said was still very reasonable.
You can’t see someone condensing an ice nail and say that they must be practicing the Cold Moon Great – Method.
There are many different kinds of martial arts under the sky, and it is precisely the case that a hundred flowers blossom and each excels in its own way.
How can you directly define because of a little similarity?
Just at this moment, the two people suddenly heard a miserable scream coming from Chen Zixuan’s side.
Only then did they come back to their senses from the exchange and hurriedly looked up to see.
They saw that Jiang Ran’s hands were drenched in blood, while one of Chen Zixuan’s arms had an additional bloody channel.
His body was trembling in pain, but he was still clenching his teeth and shouting angrily:
“You …… you dare to hurt me, the Blood Sword Hall will never let you go!
“Since my Blood Sword Hall was established, I have never been threatened like this.
“I advise you a word …… you let me leave, hands on the scorched tail qin, my master …… may still be able to be lenient and leave you a whole body.
“Otherwise, you, you must die!”
“Offer the Jiao Tail Qin with both hands, and still have to let you go so that I can leave a whole body?”
Jiang Ran smiled, “To be honest, I can’t even bear to kill you a bit. Since I came out of the jianghu, you’re really the first person I’ve met who’s so interesting.
“Some of the people who have fallen into my hands have begged for mercy on their knees, while others would rather die than submit.
“But you’re the first one who’s so insistent on begging for death.”
“You dare to kill me?”
Chen Zixuan seemed to have heard something strange, and for a moment his eyes glazed over.
Jiang Ran let out a light laugh, one hand already pressing on top of the hilt of the blade.
Gu Xi Zhi’s heart tightened and he hurriedly said:
“Little brother stay under ……”
A ‘love’ word did not remember to say, see a flash of golden light in the night, a human head rolled down to the ground with a grunt.
Only then did Jiang Ran turn back to look at Gu Xi Zhi:
“What else does senior have to say?”
“……”
Gu Xizhi was dumbfounded, “This, how did you kill it?”
“Ah?”
Jiang Ran was also a bit bewildered:
“If we don’t kill him, do we really release him? Wait for him to return to the Blood Sword Hall, gather all the men, and then come back to kill me?”
“This ……”
Gu Xi’ichi lost his words.
Although it still felt that Jiang Ran killing someone who was already defenseless was just not heroic and chivalrous enough.
However, the consequences of what he said were also bound to exist, and it was beyond reproach.
For his part, the Jingtan Jushi smiled:
“A good kill, a quick revenge is the way of my generation.”
“Vice Hall Master!”
The remaining Blood Sword Hall disciples in the field, at this time, as if awakening from a dream, could not help but cry out in sorrow.
“You …… you plotted to murder the Vice Hall Master, my Blood Sword Hall, will definitely not let you go!!!”
The young man and woman who had previously been thrown to the ground by the Jingtan Jushi, spat out blood as they climbed up from the ground, gritting their teeth and shouting angrily.
Jiang Ran ignored them and just smiled at Jingtan Jushi:
“Senior’s fallacy.”
Only after saying this did he gently wave his hand:
“Kill them all.”
Although it was said that the Blood Sword Hall disciples were remnants, most of them hadn’t actually suffered any injuries.
Especially those who had set up the Blood Stabbing Formation, they had only been casually thrown by the Jingtan Jushi, who had lent them the change of formation and made them fall on their own.
At this moment, when they heard Jiang Ran make such a claim, each of them were also furious.
Immediately swarming up, they heard someone in the crowd shout:
“Kill them, avenge the Vice Hall Master!”
“Rob Jiao Tail and absolve us of our sins!”
“Tonight’s bloody battle will not end in death!!!”
In this moment, the momentum was actually enough.
It was only a pity that the opponent faced was not an unusual character.
Luo Qingyi’s Elephant Divine Fist, Tang Yuyi’s Great Transformation Divine Blade, plus a Soft Water Sword.
Even if Jiang Ran didn’t put up a fight, just with this group of people, they were by no means opponents.
If Chen Zixuan hadn’t died, and they were still able to set up a formation under his command, then there would still be a fight to be had.
Instead, Chen Zixuan was already dead, and with their own judgment of the situation, the changes in the formation simply could not be performed.
As a result, at the first touch, someone died on the spot.
Before and after only a few moments, the ground has more than ten corpses.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, leaned to the side and ate and drank like nobody’s business.
Gu Xi Zhi, however, couldn’t stand it any longer, this was clearly a massacre of the strong and the weak.
He could not help but take a step forward and point the long sword in his hand.
But right at this moment, a flash of stern qi enveloped his entire body.
It made it impossible for Gu Xi Zhi to take a step out at all.
Just then, he heard Jiang Ran’s voice come out leisurely:
“What does senior want to do?”
“…… They are not rivals, so why rush them?”
Gu Xi Zhi sighed:
“As the saying goes, leave a thread of truth in everything, and we will meet again in the future. Don’t let the situation, become irreparable.”
“Senior is joking.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“With this scene tonight, I’ve made a blood feud with the Blood Sword Hall.
“Even if we meet in the future, we’re bound to be enemies.
“If we don’t kill them now, are we waiting for them to meet up with the Blood Sword Hall and then come back to kill them?
“At that time, if you want to kill them again, it won’t be as simple as it is today.”
“But ……”
Gu Xi Zhi clenched his teeth and said:
“You’re killing like this, but what’s the difference with the Blood Sword Hall?”
“There’s no difference.”
Jiang Ran said rightfully:
“Why should there be a difference? If a gentleman treats me with sincerity, I should treat him with sincerity.
“If an enemy treats me with evil, I shall repay him with evil.
“What senior is saying now, could it be that he wants me to repay him with virtue?
“Let’s not talk about it, to repay the grudges with virtue what to repay the virtue, on this hot face to cold ass thing, who likes to do who do, don’t involve me.
“What they did tonight, die a thousand times are never innocent!”
Gu Xi Zhi gave Jiang Ran a dumbfounded dislike.
He wanted to make a move to stop him, but he was covered by Jiang Ran’s qi and didn’t dare to move at all.
For one thing, Jiang Ran’s martial arts skill was so high that it gave Gu Xizhi an indescribable sense of danger.
It seemed that as long as he moved, he would have to face torrential rain and thunder.
Secondly, his trip was for the sake of borrowing the qin, not wanting to cross swords with Jiang Ran.
Although Jiang Ran’s bullying and ruthless tactics can not be approved, but really want to turn the tables with Jiang Ran, but there is no such need.
Finally, he sighed and closed his eyes, not wanting to see any more.
On the contrary, Jingtan Jushi looked at Jiang Ran with somewhat different eyes.
After waiting for the last person to be killed by Luo Qingyi’s punch, Jingtan Jushi then spoke:
“Now that the external enemies have gone, you ……”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Tang Wuyi had already scurried over to the surrounding corpses and began to pick at them to find something.
“This ……”
Jingtan Jushi froze.
Gu Xi Zhi couldn’t bear to see Jiang Ran’s unilateral slaughter.
He could accept it ……
But he was a bit unable to accept that after killing someone, he was still rummaging through the corpse and stealing this dead person’s belongings.
Jiang Ran was going to hold a tea tasting and qin appreciation conference.
About his name, Jingtan Jushi is heard of him.
He knew that he had a reputation for chivalry, and that in the battle at the Cangzhou Heroes’ Meeting, he had killed several mountain bandits from the Flying Cloud Walled City and saved many people.
He is also a knife for a living, capture and kill a lot of evil demons and foreigners.
But now look again, and feel Jiang Ran himself seems to be not what the famous sect …… really do anything.
Turn back and look at the remaining few people.
Mr. Big didn’t know when, but had long since scurried to the trees.
After Luo Qingyi killed someone, he returned to snooze next to the fire.
Ruan Yuqing, on the other hand, pulled out a piece of cotton cloth and carefully wiped the blood stained on the blade of his sword.
Looking at them as if nothing had happened, Jingtan Jushi momentarily forgot what he was actually going to say ……
Tang Yuyi’s hands and feet were nimble, and she quickly gathered the collected belongings in one place.
Pulling Ruan Yuqing and Luo Qingyi began to divide the spoils.
Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:
“Leave Chen Zixuan’s for me, I killed that one.”
“Cut ……”
Tang Yuyi reluctantly threw a bunch of silver tickets to the side:
“It’s really worthy of being one of the thirteen gangs’ deputy hall masters, going out of the house with several hundred taels of silver bills on you.”
“Several hundred taels!?”
Jingtan Jushi was taken aback.
Tang Yuyi waved her hand:
“You don’t have to make a big fuss, after all, this person has no one in sight, thinking that no one in the Blood Sword Hall dares to mess with him, and he won’t lose the silver tickets when he carries them on his body.
“Obviously did not expect that he would die across the river and lake.
“And not only him, even these disciples of the Blood Dagger Hall have a lot of money with them ah.
“It seems that the Thirteen Gangs are really lucrative.”
“They trade quite a bit, in all walks of life.”
Ruan Yuqing gently shook her head, “In comparison, our five great sword sects are nowhere near as rich as them, and our industries are all quite limited.”
“It can’t be compared.”
Jiang Ran carried the wine gourd to sit down in front of him, casually picking up the silver ticket and placing it in his bag.
Chen Zixuan didn’t have a bounty on him, killing him really didn’t mean much, but with these silver tickets, it wasn’t a wasted game.
Tang Yuyi took a look at the baggage, knowing that there was so much silver in it that it would make people’s jaws drop.
Her eyes rolled, and she began to consider what the probability of success would be if she took advantage of Jiang Ran’s inattentiveness and secretly stole the silver tickets from inside.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, took a sip of wine and said:
“Sects mainly pass down martial arts and tend to hide from the hustle and bustle in the deep mountains,” he said.
“Some are self-sufficient, while others have some industries within the city that can supply food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
“But gangs start in the city, gathering power with martial arts and money.
“From the initial roots, it is not the same …… Their fights are often for money as well, and naturally they are much richer than the five major sword schools.”
“Even richer, but not as rich as the Hundred Treasures Society.”
Tang Yuyi laughed:
“Now that the Blood Sword Hall has appeared, do you think the Hundred Treasures Society will also intervene across the board? If you have the chance to get your hands on a few exotic treasures, you’ll have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life.”
Gu Xi Zhi felt like he couldn’t listen anymore.
Where is this still a jianghu warrior?
It’s clearly a group of river pirates!
He had the intention to say something else to express his position as a knight-errant.
But the words came to the mouth, but could not say out.
Today, this matter is also the Blood Sword Hall’s fault, wanting to rob things, threatening and striking.
It was reasonable for Jiang Ran to kill them.
If one had to say, it was Jiang Ran and the others who were too ruthless, not leaving a single survivor.
Finally, he sighed and turned to go.
Jiang Ran glanced at his back and smiled faintly:
“There really are people like him in Jianghu.”
“Senior Gu’s reputation has always been very good, it is rumored that when he was in his prime, no matter if he was an enemy or a friend, they all admired him.”
Ruan Yuqing laughed, “It’s normal that he can’t see you doing this.”
“The older generation of Jianghu people, at this age, ultimately have their own persistence, it’s quite good.”
Jiang Ran smiled and didn’t care.
He was surprised that there were still people like Gu Xi Zhi in the jianghu who had lived to this age and had not been victimized by petty conspiracies.
Is really not easy.
Turning back to look at Jingtan Jushi again, he laughed:
“Senior, senior Gu has left, you do not follow?”
“What am I following him for.”
Jingtan Jushi shook his head, “Moreover, he will be gone this time, and he will still have to follow tomorrow. This person has been a pedant for half his life, after all, there is only one obsession that he can’t let go of no matter what.”
“Is it that Senior Jinqiu that you two seniors are talking about?”
Jiang Ran asked casually:
“The two seniors want to borrow this burnt tail, is it also for this person?”
“……”
After Jingtan Jushi was silent for a moment, he nodded in the end:
“Precisely.
“The old story, in fact, should not have been said more, but you are the owner of the Jiao Tail Qin, so you do not dare to hide it.”
The man said this and came to sit down in front of him.
Glancing at the unconscious Man Sheng Ming, his heart was vaguely puzzled.
However, he did not open his mouth to ask, but instead told the story of himself and Gu Xi Zhi and Jin Qiu, so and so.
This story was actually rather clichéd.
Nothing more than two people at the same time adore a woman, and ultimately did not succeed in the love story.
If you want to say some special place, is that Jin Qiu and Gu Xi Zhi, in fact, is a childhood friend.
The difference between the two is five years.
Jingtan Jushi is seven years younger than that Jinqiu.
When we first met, we fell in love at first sight with this woman, and could not help ourselves.
The three were entangled in a feud that lasted for more than twenty years.
Seven years ago, the two people made a decision that they would regret for the rest of their lives, that is, the martial arts to determine the winner, the winner and Jinqiu together, the loser died.
The two people would not be young people anymore, and still able to make such a childish move, also called people surprised.
As a result, there was no winner or loser in this battle at all.
Because they didn’t finish the fight, they learned that Jin Qiu had already married someone else.
While they were fighting, a letter was sent to them.
He said that he could not bear to see them fight to the death for himself, and that it would be better to forget each other in this way than to continue to be involved in pain.
To wait for two people to give up the competition, to find Jinqiu, has long been too late.
Wood has become a boat, the past is difficult to continue.
Jingtan Jushi heart sadness, return to the elegant heart of the small building to heal the emotional wounds.
Ancient Xi Zhi is wandering two years, and finally went to the heart of the building to find Jingtan Jushi drink a meal, and since then goodbye, only thought that this life is no longer see the period.
But I did not expect, five years later, the two people reunited here.
Five years ago, the two people have not shaken hands and said peace, but at that time each heart broken, where to care about the fight?
Five years later, see you again, new grudges and old grudges, are more and more think the more angry, naturally inevitable fight.
Just this twenty years of grudges entanglement, each other although hate each other, but also because of a variety of reasons, saved each other’s lives.
When they were young and spirited, they used to drink and talk about the heroes of the world.
These past events are brewed in the present time, feelings have long been complex and difficult to understand, even if the big fight did not really want to kill each other.
Tang Yuyi and Ruan Yuqing looked at each other in dismay, not expecting to hear such a secret story.
On the contrary, Luo Qingyi was not interested in any of this, but instead felt that the words of Jingtan Jushi were very hypnotizing.
She slept more soundly, her snores getting louder and louder, suppressing the insects and birds in the forest.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, had an odd expression on his face, and for a moment he didn’t know how to evaluate the white moonlight in the hearts of these two.
In order to stop the two from fighting for their lives, they even married someone else.
Is this …… afraid that after marrying one of them, the other one will be sad and desperate?
So just don’t leave a single living soul, destroy them together?
Moreover, they have come to this point, the hearts of both people are very clear, this Jinqiu unless both like, otherwise, there will always be a choice is right.
If they could have made it clear earlier, it wouldn’t have come to that.
In the end, this person said to marry a man can marry a man …… It seems that in this story, far more than just the three of them this simple.
Of course, these Jiang Ran also only in the heart of their own secretly analyze.
It’s not good to just say anything, and turned to ask:
“Since the two of you went into seclusion five years ago, why did you re-emerge five years later for the sake of Jiao Wei? Moreover, it is also said to be for this Senior Jin Qiu?”
“This is because, Jin Qiu suddenly sent me a letter.”
Jingtan Jushi said softly:
“In her letter, she said that she should not have disturbed my purity.
“It’s just that she has loved the zither all her life, and now that Jiao Wei is out in the world, she wants to fulfill her long-cherished wish by catching a glimpse of it.
“Bias now she is infected with a malignant disease is not long to live, lingering in the hospital bed, want to participate in the Sunset Ping’s Tea and Qin Appreciation Conference can not, then I had to ask me to come forward, in view of the kindness of the past on the part of, to help her a hand.”
Jiang Ran opened his mouth thoughtfully, do not know the side of Gu Xi Zhi, is not also have a letter exactly the same?
