Chapter 237.
Jiang Ran’s sentence didn’t just leave the Blazing Blade Sect, as well as Ye Jingxue and Hu Nan, who had just entered the door, with their jaws agape.
Even the Devil’s Leaving Monstrous Man, Ke Beisheng, was dumbstruck.
He looked at Jiang Ran and pointed at himself:
“What did you say?”
Jiang Ran looked at his old age and figured that he was mostly out of earshot, so he repeated it with a smile:
“I told you to kill yourself.”
“Hahahahaha!!!”
Ke Beisheng let loose a wild laugh:
“The old man has been in the jianghu for more than forty years, but he has never heard such ridiculous words before.
“Junior, your reputation has been growing recently, but you have underestimated the people of the world!
“In a nutshell, it is …… looking for death!!!”
Words to this, Ke Beisheng footsteps a turn, the figure of madness straight to Jiang however, to the front, seven fists and eight kicks all hit.
His style of martial arts is by no means unusual.
Body law has a name, called [upside down three, upside down four], to the mathematical theory into the Xuan Gong, odd in the but also the mystery of the mysterious.
The martial arts used is its specialty, named [seven up and eight down].
The name of this martial arts, in a crowd of all kinds of bullish and bombastic martial arts name, seems so simple and unadorned.
It’s so subtle that it’s a perfect match between the real and the imaginary, and the positive and the strange.
Jiang Ran just look at his hands, know that this person moves of the subtle, is Jiang Ran since the start of the Jianghu have seen the highest several people.
The old man in front of him had a seizure and immediately smiled.
Footsteps a shock, boom a muffled sound, the entire Taoist temple were shaken seemingly to collapse.
Hula a wind sound, immortal style Taoist phantom has risen to the sky.
A single fist was clenched, and a fist from the top to the bottom ruthlessly smashed down.
The fist of the phantom with white light, almost poking a hole in the entire broken temple.
The force contained in this fist even called the faces of all the people present to turn white, and they all retreated to avoid it.
Especially the people of the Blazing Blade Sect.
Looking at Jiang Ran’s phantom, as well as this punch, it always felt plausible.
Looking around the Jianghu Lake, it was not unheard of for those who were able to perform this kind of phantasm of Jiang Ran……
The Great Brahma Zen Academy’s Great Brahma Vajra Skill would be able to do it.
But …… what people coalesce is a Lohan Dharma phase, how can this be a Taoist priest? And looking at the appearance, it seems to be somewhat similar to Jiang Ran?
This boxing method has some Zen flavor, but it is not the Da Brahma Vajra Fist in Da Brahma Vajra Skill.
Rather, it is a bit like another Buddhist discipline, Vajra Vajra Fist.
It is powerful and suppresses everything.
After all, the Blazing Sword Sect was one of the seven sects and had seen a lot, and the senior brother at the head was also well educated.
A look at Jiang Ran shot, will already be in the heart of the calculation, just …… let him how to calculate, also can not think of Jiang Ran used in the end is what kung fu.
Seems to be, seems to be, and not like, really want to break the head.
And at this moment, only he still has the mind to ponder these.
Ke Beisheng had thought that with all his skills, even if he could not beat them, it would be easy for him to leave.
Who would have thought that Jiang Ran simply did not follow common sense.
His own side just out of the intention to test a little, people directly gave himself a tough move.
Looking up, where was the time to continue to strike?
He used his hands and feet to resist Jiang Ran’s punch in the air.
The palm of his hand connected with the shadow, and he immediately stifled a grunt and spewed out a stream of blood from his mouth.
He only felt that there was no place around his body that didn’t vibrate, and his bones made a toothsome sound.
This was not a fist!
This was a mountain!
A mountain that descended from the sky and crushed.
He was only able to resist this mountain for three breaths, and after three breaths his entire body snapped and was pressed to the ground by this fist.
Although the tendons and bones of his limbs were not shattered, they were already half-strong.
At this moment, the right hand of the Dharma Phase was raised again, and this time when it fell, it was bound to smash him into flesh.
Ke Beisheng at this instant, without even thinking, suddenly clenched his hands:
“Spare his life!!!”
As he said this, Jiang Ran’s second punch had already reached the top of his head.
If he had said this a little bit slower, his head would have been cracked on the spot.
Jiang Ran gave him a crooked look and said with a smile:
“Senior, do you know what I am?”
“……”
Ke Beisheng hurriedly said, “I know! You are Jiang Ran …… Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran! The person with the loudest reputation and the most popularity in Jianghu recently.”
These words were not boasting.
After the battle at Sunset Ping, Jiang Ran’s reputation had rocketed.
The battle at Purple Moon Villa had even elevated his reputation.
Coupled with the fact that the book on Jiang Ran written by the previous great gentleman had also begun to circulate in the market.
For a while, teahouses, restaurants, and the like were all talking about Jiang Ran.
It was precisely for this reason that after Ke Beisheng heard the name Jiang Ran, he immediately lost all his hostility.
Later, if Jiang Ran did not let him kill himself, he did not want to fight with Jiang Ran, only thinking about the gap to get out.
Jiang Ran was shaking his head after hearing this:
“Senior doesn’t know, I am a sword catcher.
“The imperial court opened the Sword Enforcement Division and issued knife catching orders, and I have one in my hand.
“Your honor is on the list, worth 4,000 taels of grain silver, life or death.
“In that case, what reasoning do you think the latecomer has to spare your life?”
Ke Beisheng froze and said in a hurry:
“Unjustified!
“Jiang Warrior is clear about this, although my old man has a bad reputation, it was all a misadventure.
“I ask myself that I’ve never done anything half as evil!”
“Bullshit!!!”
That senior brother of the Blazing Blade Sect was furious at his words:
“Thirty years ago, wasn’t the Zhao Family extermination tragedy in Ninglan County, Cangzhou Prefecture done by you?
“After that, you went around bragging that the reason why you did it was because the Zhao family head looked down on you and had a verbal argument with you, so you killed the entire Zhao family, and even insulted Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao, so it’s really abominable to the extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“This matter is not like this!!!”
Ke Beisheng sniffed but his face showed an almost maniacal hatred:
“In previous years, old me and Zhao Song did indeed have a couple of verbal arguments.
“Old me also therefore really harbor a grudge, but after pondering over it for a day, I did feel that this Zhao family piker’s words seemed to have a point, so I planned to go and find him to continue to theorize about theories.
“Who would have thought that when I rushed to the Zhao family home, the Zhao family had already sunk into the sea of blood.
“I found Zhao Song in the house, he was still breathing, I was going to ask him who did it.
“As a result, before he could say anything, you so-called righteous people arrived.
“As soon as he saw you people, he died in a fit of excitement ……
“Then you guys say that I killed the Zhao family, I have no defense, for what?
“Can only find a way to get out of it and go.
“But this thing …… actually has nothing to do with me ah!!!”
The crowd listened in disbelief.
Tang Yuyi asked with a bit of curiosity:
“Since you didn’t do it, then why are you bragging about it? Why not go to the defense?”
Ke Beisheng’s brain was horizontal, lying on the ground still full of loneliness, he said:
“I have acted all my life, why do I need to explain to others?”
“He’s a big old man, but he’s still an old middle-aged man.”
Afterwards he leaned back, picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine and said:
“Come on, continue to tell your story, I’m quite interested.”
Ke Beisheng tried a few times, found Jiang Ran’s acupoint technique is extremely special, although the limbs walking and sitting and lying down without any obstacles, but a mouthful of strength can not be lifted, not to mention can not be easy to break open the power, it can only be honestly said:
“But also what can be said ……
“After that incident in the Zhao family, I was hunted down by these self-proclaimed righteous people of theirs for a long time.
“They didn’t ask any questions, they didn’t distinguish between right and wrong, they just wanted to make me pay for the Zhao family’s life.
“…… In fact, the old man initially tried to explain.
“But they wouldn’t listen, and decided that it was me who did it.
“Subsequently, in the midst of a few killings, I killed a few of them, and the initial reason for this matter is not so important.
“Anyway, they all want to kill me afterward, why should I do more climbing?”
In this Ke Beisheng’s mouth, it was also because of this matter that he was able to see the true colors of these famous sects.
He claimed that they were all moralistic, but in reality, they were indiscriminate hypocrites.
This senior brother of the Blazing Blade Sect listened with jaws agape, his brows furrowed for a moment:
“This is impossible …… How could this be?
“Although the Zhao Family’s matter wasn’t crashed by my Flaming Blade Sect, but back then, the Ancestor had been out in the jungle for this reason.”
“Nonsense!”
Ke Beisheng sneered:
“Old man Flame sells his reputation, so how could he let go of this good opportunity that can gain him fame?”
Speaking here, he reached out and touched his face.
The grin became even more hideous:
“Back then, this knife of his nearly took my life.
“If not for that, today, with the old man’s identity and martial arts skills, would he have made things difficult with a few of you juniors?
“And …… why would I have fallen to the present state?
“Back then, how exactly has been untraceable.
“Just, Jiang warrior, you want to kill just kill.
“I was hunted for many years, three times was forced to the desperate situation, you are still the first of these people are willing to listen to my self-defense.
“It’s better to die in your hands than in the hands of those so-called righteous people!”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment as he listened, how did this statement seem to expel himself from the ranks of the righteous path.
He didn’t pay attention to Ke Beisheng, but instead looked towards that senior brother of the Blazing Blade Sect.
Smiling, he clasped his fists:
“Haven’t you asked for guidance yet?”
That senior brother was still in a state of dismay, and it was only when he heard Jiang Ran speak that he woke up as if from a dream.
Hastily clasping his fists, he said:
“I wouldn’t dare, my name is Dong Qingcheng.”
“So it’s Brother Dong.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Brother Dong, do you know if this person has done any other evil deeds besides the Zhao Family’s matter?”
“I’ve also heard about it, but he’s mostly been in trouble with people in the righteous path. Rescuing some spirits and demons ……”
Dong Qingcheng frowned:
“But to say that he used the same techniques to do something similar to the Zhao family, this is nothing.”
This was also the reason why Dong Qingcheng hesitated after hearing Ke Beisheng’s self-defense.
But hesitation was a matter of hesitation, and at this time, he still opened his mouth and said:
“The matter of that year is too far away, his words are not supported by evidence, in the final analysis it is only one side of the story ……”
“Then if you guys are capable, find out the person from the Left Clan and confront me face to face!”
Ke Beisheng laughed out loud:
“Can you?”
“The Left Clan?”
Jiang Ran heard another fresh term and felt that tonight was really interesting.
Accidentally it seemed as if he had heard a wrongful conviction that had been backlogged for decades.
Dong Qingcheng spoke:
“Back then, the Zhao Family’s matter was discovered by the people of the Zuo Clan.
“They had disciples going out to practice, and that night they had planned to go to the Zhao family to borrow a room ……”
“Oh, then what happened to this Zuo Clan later?”
Jiang Ran asked.
“Died out.”
Ke Beisheng didn’t wait for Dong Qingcheng to open his mouth, “And, just like the Zhao family, they all died in the hands of the old man!!!”
“Really?”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
The arrogant look on Ke Beisheng’s face instantly dissipated cleanly:
“Of course it’s not true, it’s all planted by these righteous disciples.
“The Zuo disciples came to the Zhao family back then, and when they saw me there, they couldn’t help but come up to fight and kill.
“I was hunted for three months because of them.
“When I got rid of the people who were chasing me, I planned to go to the Zuo Clan to find them to reason clearly.
“As a result, when I arrived at the time …… left’s full family, was also slaughtered.
“When I was searching for the survivors among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
“The people from the Blazing Sword Sect arrived.
“This scar on my face is what was left by the Flaming Old Man at that time.”
“People from the Blazing Blade Sect, why did they go to Zuo at that time?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Dong Qingcheng:
“They should have all been chasing after this Ke Beisheng at that time, right?”
Dong Qingcheng shook his head:
“I don’t know either, this matter has not been straightened out by the ancestor ……”
Jiang Ran gently let out a breath and smiled:
“So it seems that the events of that year were really fishy, and it can’t be decided that it was this Demon Leaving Monstrous Old Man who killed the people.
“The Blazing Blade Sect seems to have some suspicion of arbitrariness in this matter.”
The Blazing Blade Sect’s group was all a bit uncomfortable at once.
It was more or less like they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Instead, it was Dong Qingcheng who clasped his fist:
“Jiang Warrior has a point, but now it’s all on the side of this Demon Leaving Monstrous Old Man.
“The destruction of the entire Zuo Clan and Zhao Clan has also long been a foregone conclusion.
“These decades down, many people even already do not know that there are still these two families in the jianghu ……
“I’ll write a letter back to my master about this Devil Leaves Monstrous Old Man and ask my ancestor about the details back then, hoping to find the truth.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Then I will trouble Brother Dong.”
“If it is true that the wrong person is blamed for the other side, tired of people being good and becoming evil demons and foreigners ……
“This trouble of mine is nothing.”
Dong Qingcheng said this, and looked at Ke Beisheng again:
“But tonight, our masters and brothers have also really been taken care of by senior.”
“Hmph, if the old man starts killing, do you guys really think that you can get away?”
Ke Beisheng sneered:
“But it’s just to scare you all, all these years when I walked the rivers and lakes, it’s because I saw that you people who boasted of being famous in the rivers and lakes are not happy.
“Especially you people of the Blazing Sword Sect ……
“The Flaming Old Man nearly took old me’s life, and when old me sees you guys, it would be duh if I were to treat you guys to a meal and a drink.”
“That’s …… true.”
Dong Qingcheng let out a bitter smile:
“That’s reasonable.”
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, glanced at Ke Beisheng and stroked his chin with some curiosity:
“Speaking of which, why are you here?”
Ke Beisheng was silent for a moment, and took out a letter from his pocket, handing it to Jiang Ran with both hands:
“A short while ago a familiar old friend suddenly sent me a letter, stating that we will meet at the Willow Courtyard on the eighth day of the first month of the Lunar New Year, and that there will be a great event then.
“I am a man of leisure, and go wherever I please.
“Since there will be a lively event, naturally I am willing to make do with it.
“That’s why I was planning to head to the Jinyang Mansion, but I didn’t expect to meet them on the way.”
“So you’re going to the Jinyang Mansion as well.”
Dong Qingcheng frowned: “On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Willow Courtyard?”
“You also have this letter?”
The one who said this was not Jiang Ran, but Ye Jingxue who was standing in front of the door.
She took two steps forward and reached out to take the letter from the hand of that Devil’s Leaving Monster.
After checking it for a while before opening it, and after a glance, she took out a letter from her bosom as well, and comparing the two, although the handwriting wasn’t exactly the same, the content was almost exactly the same.
She looked back at Jiang Ran and grinned:
“Big brother Jiang …… can I call you that?”
“Can.”
Jiang Ran nodded.
This sister of Ye Jingshuang had always existed in Ye Jingshuang’s memories or in the dictation of bystanders.
For example, Liu Wenshan had once said that the dowry that he and Ye Konggu had prepared back then, one portion was for Mingyue, one portion was for Shocking Frost, and one portion was for Shocking Snow.
Jiang Ran had seen her dowry, but this was the first time he had seen her.
But with Ye Jingfang’s relationship in it, naturally, he couldn’t help but feel close.
Ye Jingxue smiled at her words, and then handed over both letters to Jiang Ran:
“Big brother Jiang, do you think this matter is a bit odd?”
Tang Yuyi crossed Ye Jingxue’s eyes:
“Where is it odd?”
“I found this letter from an evil master I encountered on my way towards the Jinyang Mansion after descending the mountain for wrongdoing, after killing him.”
Ye Jingxue said:
“The purpose of this trip for the brothers and sisters of the Blazing Blade Sect was also the Jin Yang Prefecture, and then they encountered this Demon Leaving Monstrous Old Man.
“There is a blood feud between the two, no matter which side wins, it is expected that they will not allow the other to live.
“Once Ke Beisheng is dead, this letter will also inevitably be discovered by Master Dong ……
“Since they are going to have a secret meeting in the Willow Courtyard, how could they be so rash?
“They even had to use this letter as a token, this move was only intentional, just to make the righteous experts look for opportunities to sneak into the Willow Courtyard in droves, right?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Ye Jingxue with some surprise.
Slightly musing:
“This is not impossible …… truth be told, in fact, in my hand, I also have a letter like this.”
At that time, Tang Wuyi had told herself that the Blue Sect’s Vice Lord had personally admitted before his death that this was the Abandoned Heavenly Moon’s layout.
I had thought that it was specifically targeting Jiang Ran …… but I didn’t realize that people seemed to be playing a very big chess game.
The situation within the Willow Court, when the time comes, is bound to be extremely complex.
There are people in the righteous path who have gotten this letter and are mixed up in it.
There are also real evil demons ……
If Abandoned Heavenly Moon were to blend in and not reveal her true identity.
Then how to find his person from amongst all these various disguises?
After Jiang Ran pondered a little for a moment, he suddenly looked at Ke Beisheng in front of him.
His eyes flickered, and after a long time, he took out a bottle from his bosom.
“This is the Four Seasons Dan …….”
Jiang Ran said, “It’s not too easy to say whether what you did in the past was true or false, but killing you like this is ultimately easy to kill the innocent by mistake. This Four Seasons Dan attacks once a year, and when it does, it requires my unique antidote to relieve it.
“You take it, I also happen to be missing an errand boy on my side, since then, you will follow me.
“Are you willing?”
