Chapter 197.
“It’s not a scorched-tail violin? Then …… what is that?”
A look of confusion flashed across the ‘Young Lord of the Manor”s eyes.
However, Jiang Ran wasn’t going to answer this question of his.
At the same time, when Xuanyuan Yidao sent out that firework, violent shouts of murder came from the entire circumference of the Three Immortals Mountain.
Jiang Ran hadn’t lied earlier.
The entire Blood Sword Hall had already surrounded the Three Immortals Mountain.
Although the main place that was surrounded was around Sunset Ping.
But today, no matter if it is the Falling Flower Smoke and Rain Alliance, or the Left Dao Zhuang.
In fact, all of them were intentionally put in by Jiang Ran.
Now with the fireworks signal released, curled up in a blood knife hall disciples, suddenly connected to form a net, from the outside to the inside began to close the encirclement.
One could hear Xuanyuan Yidao laughing wildly:
“The master has a clear understanding, you and others in addition to death today, there is no other possibility!!!”
“Is the Blood Sword Hall coming out in full force?”
“Jiang Ran has made arrangements?”
“Hurry up and kill them, if those crazy people from the Blood Sword Hall come up later, I’m afraid we won’t have a part to play!”
“Don’t panic, the Blood Sword Hall disciples tend to win with many, but their kung fu is not as good as ours, they can join hands with us and we can too, make sure to kill a few more before they do.”
Although the people of the Left Dao Zhuang’s individual martial arts are extraordinary, but the Sunset Ping is indeed crowded, they can kill one or two, but it is impossible to kill all of them in a short period of time.
And now under the pressure of ‘Blood Sword Hall has surrounded Three Immortals Mountain’, each one of them had even used all their strength.
If they killed even one more person today, they would be able to add one more touch of splendor to the Jianghu.
Jianghu ……
Certainly is called teenagers full of fantasies, but at the same time is also a huge field of fame and fortune.
For the sake of fame and fortune, is still the unchanging core of the ancient times.
Only, some people do everything for fame and fortune, for the purpose.
Cultivating evil martial arts, killing people at will, thus becoming the evil way.
And some people are doing bright and righteous things, save people from fire, practicing righteous martial arts, which has become the right way.
Now on the sunset on the Ping this fight, is the whole Jianghu a small microcosm.
Whether it is for the sake of profit or chivalry, there is no change in what they want to do.
It was to kill all of the Left Dao Manor!
The ‘Young Lord of the Manor’ was terrified in his heart, apprehensive, no longer able to sit comfortably on top of the soft sedan chair.
One wrong step, the whole plate is lost, originally thought that planning to this point is already the best plan.
But I did not expect, Jiang Ran insight as if watching the fire, not only recognized their trick, now …… really let him panic is that he does not know Jiang Ran in the end want to do what?
Therefore, he had to do something before he could.
But just as he was getting up, Jiang Ran’s knife had already arrived in front of him.
The knives were the Nine Knives of the Surprising God, and the stance was not the one Jiang Ran had used earlier, the Scar of Life and Death.
Rather, it was the most basic of the Nine Blades of the Surprising God.
As soon as the blade was displayed, it had already arrived in front of the ‘Young Lord of the Manor’.
But the ‘Young Lord of the Manor’ was not the Young Lord of the Manor after all.
He rubbed his hands together, his claws were sharp, and although the martial arts he used was the same as that night’s Young Lord of the Manor, he was no longer able to penetrate Jiang Ran’s blade in a flash.
Seeing a flash of blood, that ‘young master of the manor’ only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, looking down, half of the tendons had been cut off, one hand only had skin and flesh left attached.
His eyes rounded, he gritted his teeth, and only a muffled grunt came out of his mouth.
The remaining hand gathered internal energy and still wanted to come and attack, but when he raised his head and looked into Jiang Ran’s eyes, his heart was half-cooled.
Jiang Ran’s eyes were all colors of disappointment.
At the end, he sighed softly, and the blade came together, the golden color filled the sky and glittered.
A flash of blade abruptly chopped through, stern, swift, indescribably fast.
By the time the ‘Young Lord of the Manor’ came back to his senses, he heard Jiang Ran shout:
“I’m going to help Warrior Man, Yidao, you lead the crowd to put the matter here to rest as soon as possible!”
When he heard these words, a look of utter dismay flashed across the eyes of the ‘Young Lord of the Manor’, immediately followed by a movement of his heart, vaguely capturing something.
But without waiting for this thought to extend, he only felt that he was already surrounded by endless darkness.
His head was also at that moment, casually taken off by Jiang Ran.
……
……
Three Immortals Mountain, in a cave.
Man Sheng Ming was sitting cross-legged, and above his knees was lying an ancient zither.
He reached out and gently stroked the strings.
“Jiao Tail Qin …… Jiao Tail Qin …… I finally got you.”
He opened his mouth at this time, his speech did not stutter, and his tone became low and serene.
It was completely incomparable to earlier.
Reaching out to his face, he gently wiped his hand on his face, and a human skin mask, which was exquisite to the extreme, was removed by him.
What was revealed was clearly the face of the Young Lord of the Manor.
“The world knows that there is a secret hidden within the Jiao Tail.
“After obtaining this secret, one can freely manipulate the Jiao Tail.
“Yet no one knows exactly how to open the Jiao Tail and how to find this secret.
“However, I left the road Zhuang stood in the jianghu for hundreds of years, in thirty years ago, has already found the Jiao tail opening method ……
“Gong Shang, Horns and Feathers, Feather Shang, Horns and Gong Zheng.
“Who would have thought that the way to open the Jiaowei is hidden within these five strings?”
He gently hooked his finger, and the zither trembled lightly, the first tone was precisely ‘Gong’.
The sound of the piano, even with the young master of the heart, also can not help but heart a fear, feel the piano sound did not backfire, the heart is a relief, but do not dare to be slow.
Because the method of opening, need to be completed in one breath.
Can not have the slightest pause, otherwise, even if only played a ‘Gong’ sound, slightly stop over a breath of time limit, will suffer backlash.
At that moment, he flicked his fingers, and the remaining few syllables came out in a single breath.
From the beginning to the end, the sound of the zither did not backfire on itself.
Until the last ‘zheng’ sound fell, the young master of the manor only then looked at the zither in his hand with a nervous expression.
He also looked at his front heart, and after determining that there was nothing wrong, he completely let go of his heart.
However, a moment later, he raised his eyebrows again.
He himself is certainly nothing, but this qin …… also did not see half a bit of change ah.
“What’s going on?”
Lesser Zhuang master frowned tightly, carefully picked up the anxious tail, carefully scrutinized, looked up and down, looked at half a day, but did not see what is wrong.
There was no organ to open, no mystery derived.
“Could it be that the secret of the Jiao Tail is that one needs to play these few syllables first, after which one can play freely?”
Thinking of this, the Young Banker’s mind was enlightened.
However, the next moment, doubt flooded back:
“It’s not right ah …… According to reason, every time Jiao Tail is played, there should be a sound wave impact.
“How is it that after I played it once, nothing changed?
“Could it be ……
“No, it can’t be!
“What kind of person in this world could fake the Jiao Tail? There could never be anything like that right ……”
He took a deep breath, but his face was definitely not as calm as he said it was.
If this was the Scorched Tail, the organ should have opened after he had finished playing those few syllables just now.
If he had played wrongly, he should have died by now.
But the fact is, he didn’t die, the burnt tail didn’t open, everything didn’t change.
This is not right ah …… this is absolutely not right!
But to say that there is someone who forged the focal tail, he did not believe.
The only person who can do this kind of thing is Jiang Ran …… Jiang Ran took a fake scorched tail piano to Sunset Ping?
What was the purpose of doing so?
The Tea Tasting and Qin Appreciation Conference …… was convened by himself.
He disguised himself as Man Sheng Ming and stayed by Jiang Ran s side, and a long time has passed since he first saw it.
Shouldn’t have missed any cracks right!
He has no reason to do so ah ……
With this thought in his mind, he suddenly frowned slightly, only to feel an uncontrollable strange itch rising from his throat, and couldn’t help but cough.
One cough was followed by several in succession.
The young banker s pupils contracted violently, this is not right ……
He has always been strong and healthy, how could he cough so violently for no reason?
And when the coughing came later, but also could not help wow sprayed out a mouthful of blood, blood spilled on top of the strings, dripping drops in the body of the piano Jiao Wei.
“Jiao Tail ……”
Young Master Zhuang tried to suppress his cough and subconsciously wiped the blood on Jiao Tail with his sleeve.
However, he didn’t want to do so, but under this rubbing, Jiao Tail’s antique-colored zither body was instantly wiped off with a large piece of brown traces.
Revealed the brand new body of the piano under it ……
The entire world, seemed to be quiet in this instant.
The only thing that came from the sky was a rumbling sound.
However, since the ‘Young Master of the Manor’ they appeared, the rain cloud that was brought about had finally kicked in.
This rain was originally pattering, but slowly, it got bigger and bigger.
The young manor master looked fixedly at the zither in his hand, let out a long sigh, secretly took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.
A soft sigh was heard coming from the cave entrance:
“Young Master of the Manor doesn’t mind if I come in to take shelter from the rain, right?”
The Young Lord of the Manor didn’t have too many surprises for Jiang Ran who had walked into this cave and simply asked:
“How did you find me?”
“I tampered with the zither and put a bit of poison on it, following its lead, it wasn’t difficult to find you.”
“This scorched tail is fake …… But you have displayed it more than once in front of people, those shouldn’t be fake too?”
The young banker looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“Those are all real, only this one is fake.”
“What a skillfully crafted fake …… Since Sanshui County, I’ve looked at it many times against the drawings, and I didn’t expect that I would still be fooled over.”
The young manor master let out a long sigh, more or less resigned.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, smiled:
“I this person bar …… originally thought that my luck was bad.
“Born with a disease, or can not be cured.
“Master gave a marriage proposal, but it turned out that the fiancée’s family weren’t good people.
“But now it seems that this luck of mine is, in fact, not bad.
“Originally I thought I wouldn’t live to be twenty, but now I’m still alive and kicking.
“And just as I was considering how to draw a successful conclusion to this Tea Tasting and Qin Appreciation Conference.
“In favor of let me meet a ghostly craftsman …… I pondered, you should know who he is.”
“Ximen Feng ……”
The young estate master really knew, and he glanced at Jiang Ran:
“That fool, I’m only afraid that he has already poured his heart out to you, right?”
“Not really.”
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“But he does hate you quite a bit right now, or rather, he hates your Left Dao Estate quite a bit.
“After all, it was you who swindled him into bringing ‘Cheng Tianyang’ to the Qifeng Manor.
“And because of that, it also made me suspect that he was colluding with you guys, joining forces to make a game, and was nearly killed alive by me ……”
This incident happened in the latter half of the night when Jiang Ran was introduced to the Soul Destroying Formation.
Having suffered such a big loss, and having his blade technique broken, Jiang Ran naturally couldn’t just let it go.
The root of the matter was because Ximen Feng’s hands and feet were not clean, and on the way, he came across Zuo Daozhuang carrying a box, and he felt that the things in the box were bound to be precious, so he took advantage of the chaos to steal it away.
But the problem is, this thing is too coincidental.
Zuo Daozhuang late at night, why would be found by Ximen Feng?
If Ximen Feng didn’t go and steal this box, then how could everything after that happen?
Therefore, within this coincidence, Jiang Ran expected that there must be a human factor.
After using Yan Wang Rage on Ximen Feng, Jiang Ran realized that in fact, Ximen Feng had known the people of Zuo Dao Zhuang for a long time.
Only he recognized the ghost sect Hai Tan.
And Hai Tan had performed a wave of chivalry in front of him.
Ximen Feng although this person means is some, but that will be fledgling, simple-minded awesome.
He decided that hearing is not believing and seeing is not believing, and seeing Hai Tan help people, he believed in it to death.
Hai Tan told him, although the left road Zhuang for people to criticize, but in the end there are still good people …… he believed.
Hai Tan also told him that the Hundred Treasures will gather the wealth of the world, take it from the people but not use it for the people, seems to be the right way, in fact, it is a treacherous …… He also believed it.
Hai Tan also told him that he wanted to change the left road Zhuang, can only rely on the young Zhuangzhuang master, but unfortunately, the world is too deep misunderstanding, gossip, cumulative destruction, but do not know that he has a chivalrous heart …… He still believed it.
Therefore, he has been laying hands on the Hundred Treasures Society for the past few years.
Some of the stolen treasures were handled by himself, but more were given to people assigned by Hai Tan.
When Hai Tan told him that the money gained after the sale was used on the people of wherever and wherever, Ximen Feng felt that the job hadn’t been in vain.
And that night the reason why he struck out against the Left Road Manor was because he heard the gang discussing that it was something stolen from the Young Master’s side, and that the Young Master must not be allowed to have his way…….
With Hai Tan’s words in front of him, Ximen Feng, who heard this, naturally did not have any hesitation and wanted to steal the item back and return it to the Young Banker.
As a result, there was what happened that night.
Jiang Ran had actually lied, Ximen Feng was far more stupid than he had imagined.
Even now, he still hasn’t suspected Hai Tan.
Nor had he ever suspected Young Lord Zhuang.
It was just that Jiang Ran wasn’t going to tell the truth.
And Jiang Ran hadn’t told him anything more about anything else other than having him imitate a scorched tail.
The Young Lord of the Manor then gently shook his head at this point:
“Believe it or not, it wasn’t me who made them do it that night.
“Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, Ximen Feng, a pawn, is far more useful than imagined.
“But the risk of using him against you …… is too great to be scratched.”
“In that case, it’s the Four Evil Sect that has taken matters into their own hands.”
Jiang Ran laughed, “So, you had to take the risk of showing up and taking the Four Evil Sect away from my hands …… In truth, you can’t break my blade technique at all.”
“You guess.”
The Young Banker looked up at Jiang Ran.
Although he had been following Jiang Ran around as a Full Sheng Ming for this period of time, after all, he had gotten along for quite a long time.
Therefore, he also knew about this vice that Jiang Ran liked to make people guess.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, laughed:
“No need to guess, if you can break my blade technique, there’s no need for you to leave that night.
“If you kill me, Jiao Tail will also be yours, why go through all this trouble?”
“……”
The young banker sighed: “It seems easy to guess …… the Nine Knives of the Frightened God, is the knot in the heart of my Zuo Dao Zhuang.”
As he said this, he couldn’t help but cough again.
At the same time, the arm under his clothes was flooded with a blue mark.
He slightly covered his sleeves to keep Jiang Ran from noticing.
Only after waiting for this round of violent coughing to end did he look at Jiang Ran:
“But you …… But you still, in the end, still don’t dare to fight me head on.
“That’s why you poisoned the zither.
“You’re afraid …… you’re afraid that I can really break your blade technique!”
Jiang Ran, however, shook his head:
“You’re wrong, I poisoned you precisely because I was certain that you couldn’t break it.
“Otherwise, the confidence that I lost that night, I’m bound to get it back from your body myself before I can do so.”
“…… Aren’t you afraid that you guessed wrong?”
“What does that matter?”
Jiang Ran spoke indifferently.
“……”
The Young Lord of the Manor was first stunned, then he understood.
For a moment he couldn’t help but laugh:
“It’s a pity …… it’s a pity ……
“If, if I can hold the real Jiao Tail, you would not have been enough to worry about …… Why, why would Jiao Tail fall into the hands of someone like you.
“This fight, although I am defeated, but, I am not convinced …… I can still fight with you again ……”
“Don’t you tease.”
Jiang Ran waved his hand, “Go to hell in peace, do you know that this head of yours, on the list of the Sword Execution Division, is worth a lot of geometry?”
“I naturally know.”
The young banker sneered, “Hair silver …… forty thousand taels!”
“Good to know.”
Jiang Ran smiled, “I’m just waiting for you to die, then I can get rich.”
“I have one more question ……”
The Young Banker looked at Jiang Ran:
“How exactly did you see through my identity?”
“I thought you wouldn’t ask.”
Jiang Ran laughed, “Because I know that apart from the initial time, you were really hit by the Seven Yin Extinction. All the subsequent things, all of them are you pretending …… that your poison, has long since been detoxified.
“Then the question comes, that night your so-called poison, in the end is really seven yin extinction pain.
“Or is it because it was wounded by my knife qi, so, don’t dare to show up in front of me?”
“…… But, how can you possibly tell?”
The Young Banker was even more puzzled.
“Because, I’ve learned the Hundred Poisons True Scripture.”
Jiang Ran’s first reaction since receiving the Hundred Poisons Venerable Reward was to go find Man Sheng Ming, wanting to cure him of his poison.
As a result, he realized that the man was not poisoned.
At that point, Jiang Ran already knew that there was something heavenly wrong with Man Sheng Ming.
Only, at that time, Jiang Ran didn’t know his real identity, so he didn’t move.
Until the night of the Soul Destroying Array, he was clearly fighting with the Young Lord of the Manor, and as a result, the one who was bedridden turned out to be Man Sheng Ming.
Then all of this is on the table.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran smiled gently:
“That elixir you took earlier, it’s almost time for it to work, isn’t it?
“Come on, it’s your turn to counterattack in death ……”
The young lord of the manor exclaimed with a change in color:
“When did you …… you come?”
“Since you cracked the Jiao Tail.”
The corners of Jiang Ran’s mouth hooked into a smile ……
