Chapter 302.
As soon as Jiang Ran opened his eyes, the first thing he did was not notice any difference within his body.
Instead, he met Tian Youfang’s eyes.
Jiang Ran blinked, and Tian Youfang blinked back.
Then he spoke:
“What kind of martial arts are you practicing here?”
“Not pretending?”
Jiang Ran smiled, followed by flexing his fingers, a wisp of strong wind landed on top of Tian Youfang’s brow, and Tian Youfang didn’t even grunt, his head tilted, unconscious ……
This is not a pointing technique.
Instead, it was a martial art that Jiang Ran had previously obtained from Sect Master Bai.
The name is Xiaguang Finger.
A total of one hundred and thirty-six strokes, the finger force was fierce and vicious, completely incomparable to the Da Fan Du Shi Finger.
Tian Youfang’s body acupuncture points are different from normal people, no one in the world can point his acupuncture points.
This mute point had never been hit.
He was merely hiding his disguise, hoping that Jiang Ran would forget about this matter, and finally see if he could spot the opportunity and find a way to escape.
Although the specific way how to think about, but can retain can hide a little, the future escape will be more hopeful.
However, I didn’t expect to see Jiang Ran cultivating the Ten Thousand Shadows Invisible Sword, and under the momentary shock, he forgot about this matter.
In that case, Jiang Ran didn’t treat him politely, and pointed him out with a finger.
Then only then did he look at his own hands, his brows slightly knitted ……
“This Ten Thousand Shadows Invisible Sword …… is very difficult to evaluate.”
Jiang Ran gently let out a breath:
“Should I say, it really deserves to be the martial arts of Zuo Dao Zhuang?
“The sword goes off the beaten path, good at traveling under extremes …… yet with the ability to excel …… is also truly formidable.”
The martial arts in the world, all changes are not different, except for a very few exceptions, most of them are practicing the way of internal and external compatibility.
The so-called internal, is the internal power, external is the moves.
The internal work is performed in the internal, enhance the brawn, enhance the power of the front, the moves are performed in the external, on top of the technique, so that people can not be blocked.
The two together, is indestructible.
With the deepening of the work, just take the sword as an example, in the novels of the past life, there is a famous saying that has been elaborated to the fullest extent, that is, ‘do not stagnate in things, grass, wood, bamboo and stone can be a sword, and gradually into the realm of no sword is better than the sword.’
This is the process of going from the outside to the inside, taking the meaning and forgetting the form.
Emphasizing the intention rather than the form, everything is a sword, so why should one care whether there is a sword in one’s hand or not?
At this point, sword intent is in the heart and not in the hand.
If you can do it with your hand, it is all sword power.
Jiang Ran felt that Zuo Daozhuang’s Ten Thousand Shadows Formless Sword, the sword goes off the beaten track is here.
People are progressive, gradually stepping into the realm where no sword is better than a sword.
However, the Ten Thousand Shadows Invisible Sword had never used a sword from the very beginning.
As the saying goes, how can you see through the red dust without entering it?
Without ever using a sword, how can you give up its form and take its meaning?
This is the cart before the horse, completely unreasonable.
But Zuo Dao Zhuang is such a place, no matter what you say, it can be made for you.
Even if the reasoning does not work, the effect is also made for you.
Ten Thousand Shadows invisible sword practitioners, from the beginning is to take its meaning and forget its shape, only practice sword qi, do not practice sword moves.
In this way, when this skill is first completed, although the sword gas is sharp, the sword intention is flat.
After all, telling a person who never practiced sword, only practiced sword qi, how to raise their own sword intent?
Therefore, the person who created this martial art incorporated the essence of spiritual martial arts into it.
Making this sword qi weird and unpredictable, it can rise out of thin air and cannot be defended against.
So in the hands of Zuo Dao Zhuang’s master, it is a thought that moves, all the swords are born.
Jiang Ran speculated that the Zuo Dao Zhuang master was able to cultivate this martial art to this extent, and that he himself should have at least one special skill that specializes in cultivating the spirit.
Jiang Ran only knows the Evil Dragon Prison Shattering Fist, the Heaven’s Will Inverted Imperishable Divine Power, and the Ten Thousand Shadows Invisible Sword.
Among the remaining four divine skills, who knows if there will be a spiritual martial art?
And at that time in Penma County, the Young Lord of the Manor had once used this type of tactic to deal with Tong Wanli’s son.
This was also something that Jiang Ran had seen with his own eyes.
Thus Jiang Ran pondered that this guess of his was possible.
However, Jiang Ran didn’t need to specifically seek out another spiritual martial art, thus leveling the power of this martial art.
Even if he practiced it, it might not be the right match.
He used his own stored buffs to directly raise this Ten Thousand Shadows Invisible Sword to the level of a hundred years.
It was already unprecedented.
Even within the Left Dao Zhuang, all the experts who had practiced this martial art throughout the generations stood out and were dwarfed by it.
And thanks to this, Jiang Ran only felt that he had made incredible progress in terms of his spirit.
Sword qi, internal force, and spirit.
The unity of the three was the fundamental essence of the Ten Thousand Shadows Invisible Sword.
It couldn’t be said that it wasn’t powerful, and it couldn’t be said that it wasn’t subtle either…….The only thing that made Jiang Ran quite criticized about it was this:
“Is this really a sword technique?”
Only the sword qi, the sword intention is also because of the enhancement to a hundred years degree, and the sharpness of the sharpness.
But …… there is no half a point sword moves sword momentum, and what kind of swordsmanship?
“No wonder when the Zuo Dao Zhuang master performs this technique, he only knows to utilize the sword qi that is like a sea to hurt people …… Otherwise, he is utilizing the characteristics of this martial art that is extremely difficult to be detected to sneak attack ……
“What a shady tactic.”
Jiang Ran shook his head helplessly, but also gently exhaled a breath.
Regardless of whether it was a shady tactic or not, what had to be recognized was that this martial art was extremely powerful.
It was stronger than the Heavenly Covering Divine Palm that Jiang Ran had previously obtained, the Kun Zi Thirteen Crazy Devil Claws, and even the Heaven’s Will Inverted Undying Divine Skill.
The main killing power of this power, a thought, ten thousand swords will be born, let you move a thousand changes, and how can resist the rain of thousands of swords?
Jiang Ran has hundreds of years of internal strength to assist.
Although in some characteristics, not as good as the nine knives, such as the invisible or life and death marks ……
But in terms of power alone, it is by no means weak.
Jiang Ran gathered his mind:
“The old drunkard said that by giving up the form and taking the meaning, no move is better than a move.
“How can a tangible force win over an intangible move?
“The only way to win is to make a first move.
“Nowadays it’s good …… I’ve really got an invisible martial art ……
“This is simply forcing me, to create the fifth blade of the Nine Blades of the Amazing God!”
With this in mind, Jiang Ran simply closed his eyes.
The aura around his body shifted, turning from sword qi to blade intent.
Just a few moments later, but then turned into sword qi …… Blade intent and sword qi both facilitate this process, repeatedly pulling, entangled constantly.
……
……
The night is speechless.
In the blink of an eye, it is already dawn.
As the first ray of sunlight shone into Jiang Ran’s room, the first one to wake up was not Jiang Ran.
Instead, it was Tian Youfang who was sitting on the floor.
As soon as he woke up, he felt that there was no place in his body that didn’t hurt.
However, what hurt the most was his head ……
The things that happened last night were like a walking lantern, sweeping through his mind.
Only then did he raise his head and look at Jiang Ran who was sitting on the bed.
Jiang Ran still maintained the appearance of sitting cross-legged last night.
However, his body was no longer floating in mid-air, he was sitting on his knees above the bed, and there was no longer the slightest ripple around his body.
There is no longer that the extreme coldness of the sword, also do not see the astral wind flow.
It even …… seemed like even the breath was gone.
“Dead!?”
Tian Youfang froze, could it be that after he knocked me out last night, he suffered retribution? Finally went off the deep end and died?
For a moment, Tian Youfang didn’t know whether to be happy or not.
Being happy is naturally gloating …… This guy kidnapped himself and wanted to make himself serve him, it is really outrageous.
Now dead, that is deserved!
But the problem is that …… if he dies, he himself 80% must also die.
This person is a person of the devil religion …… surrounded by all the experts of the devil religion.
Even if this thing has nothing to do with himself, is it that the people of the devil’s religion will still talk to their own reasoning not?
Just thinking about it, suddenly saw Jiang Ran chest slightly undulating.
Only then did it suddenly …… not die …… is that the breath is too long.
This night down, this person’s internal strength is not again refined?
This made Tian Youfang couldn’t help but shiver.
This person’s martial arts was already ridiculously high.
Now there is another refinement …… overnight He is going to go to heaven! To go beyond the ninth cloud to become a god?
At this moment, Jiang Ran also slowly opened his eyes.
Then he met Tian Youfang’s eyes ……
Jiang Ran suddenly felt that putting this guy in his room last night was really not a good choice.
It led to the fact that both times he opened his eyes, he could see a dirty man.
On the contrary, this man was still looking at himself without blinking.
Jiang Ran gently exhaled:
“Did Brother Tian sleep well last night?”
“…… Good, great!”
Tian Youfang nodded his head fiercely, what hammer did he sleep last night? Obviously, he was knocked out by you. The head drooped and passed out all night, and now the neck pain is almost falling off.
This guy is really hypocritical …… not a good person!
Jiang Ran smiled:
“That’s good, then, taking the liberty of inviting Brother Tian over is also slack.
“Speaking of which, has Brother Tian ever decided? Do you want to work for me or not?”
Tian Youfang was silent again for a moment.
Yet, he did not insist on refusing as he did last night.
Finally he thought for a moment and said:
“It’s fine if you want me to help you …… but, you have to promise me two things.”
“Brother Tian thinks that you are qualified to bargain with me?”
The tone of Jiang Ran’s voice was still polite, that is to say, not polite at all.
Tian Youfang let out a bitter smile:
“It’s not bargaining, but if these two things aren’t done, it’s impossible for me to help you …… Even if you kill me, I can’t serve at your heels.”
“Then Brother Tian will speak for a moment, and Jiang will listen for a moment.”
Jiang Ran laughed, “If it’s really not possible, Mister Jiang will have to kill you.”
“Good.”
Tian Youfang wasn’t polite:
“First thing, get Hong Hong back for me.”
Hong Hong was the Compassion King of the Flute Clan.
It had previously been sealed in Niangzi Wu’s body by Wu Di using the Five Compulsions Locking Heart Pass.
Jiang Ran gently nodded his finger:
“This matter …… is not difficult.
“As long as Wu Di keeps his promise and works by my side for a year.
“Between this year, I have plenty of opportunities to find this item for you.
“But before that, if you are not under my tent, I am not reasonable to help you do this thing.”
A paradox was formed here, and naturally, it was a trade-off for Tian Youfang.
If he wanted Jiang Ran to help, he would have to follow orders.
In this way they would have a year’s chance to get that Compassion King.
On the contrary, if Tian Youfang didn’t come, Jiang Ran wouldn’t get the Compulsion King.
It was up to Tian Youfang to decide whether he believed Jiang Ran would keep his promise or whether he felt that Jiang Ran was just trying to swindle him into serving him for a year, it was all a matter of thought.
After Tian Youfang was silent, he said:
“The second thing …… if you promise, the first condition, can be put on hold.
“At least, I can also work for you for a year, as long as within this year, you give Hong Hong to me.”
“You say.”
Jiang Ran let out a light smile.
“I want you to help me kill someone!!!”
Tian Youfang looked up at Jiang Ran.
“Your old grandpa?”
Jiang Ran asked casually.
“……”
Tian Youfang fell into silence and said after a moment:
“I can’t tell you who it is right now, I can only tell you that this person is vicious and evil.
“Killing him will do no harm to the world!
“But I can not kill him …… You martial arts skills of the world, far above me, if you are out of this person will die.
“Therefore, I can only beg you.”
“This matter …… I can temporarily promise you.”
Jiang Ran said, “But when to kill, I have the final say, the same …… is also your final say.”
“What do you mean?”
Tian Youfang looked at Jiang Ran in shock.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“When you tell me everything, I’ll make the decision.”
“……”
Tian Youfang took a deep breath:
“So, it’s a tentative promise?”
“That’s right, are you willing?”
“Good.”
Tian Youfang nodded, “I’m willing, give me some tea.”
“Up the road.”
Jiang Ran smiled and didn’t hesitate, directly getting off the bed and walking to the table, picking an empty cup and taking out a small bottle from his arms:
“You people of the Flute Clan are all connoisseurs of using poison and parasites.
“Good thing I have learned quite a few skills since I was young, and there happen to be some of them that can restrain you …….”
He said, poured some powder into a cup and added tea.
It was sent to Tian Youfang’s nose:
“Smell it.”
Tian Youfang lifted his nose and smelled it, and immediately his face changed:
“You’re not poisonous ……”
“Sure enough, I can see that this thing is aimed at the parasites in your body.
“Take half a year as a limit, if there is no antidote from me, the parasites will turn back on you ……”
Jiang Ran said, “How, dare to drink?”
“…… you speak, can you count?”
Tian Youfang looked at Jiang Ran before drinking.
Jiang Ran nodded:
“When Jiang Mou speaks, he has always been a man of his word.”
“…… I must be crazy.”
Tian Youfang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth, “Come.”
Jiang Ran obediently poured it into his mouth.
Tian Youfang drank it in one gulp, following which he said with a somewhat white face:
“I can’t believe that I would trust a person from a demonic sect ……”
“Although I ask myself that I’m not yet a member of the Devil Cult.”
Jiang Ran laughed, “Still, I have to say that not all of the devil sects are bad people, you will get used to it in the future.”
He said casually putting the teacup away, and then gave Tian Youfang the bones in his body to attach.
He had high martial arts skills, although the dislocation took a long time, but with a little bit of mediation, he was almost recovered.
After opening his eyes, he gave Jiang Ran a somewhat strange look:
“Why don’t you kill me ……”
He wasn’t talking about now.
Rather, that night, after Jiang Ran helped Wu Di capture him, he suddenly turned around and left.
If not for that, Tian Youfang wouldn’t have exposed such a big secret in front of Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:
“The day you first entered the Willow Courtyard, that little boy was not half related to you, yet you were willing to save him.
“If you are truly ruthless to this extent, what is the life of a passerby to you?
“Although not enough to show your nature, but also worth a try, this is not, try out the funny thing ……”
“It’s not funny at all.”
Tian Youfang’s face did not look good.
Jiang Ran laughed:
“Well, since you’re already planning to work under me, it’s time for you to get busy.
“I need you to go scout around Zhongnan Lane.
“If you find anything suspicious, don’t act rashly, you need to come back and report quickly.”
“…… Yes!”
Tian Youfang answered, but always felt as if there was something odd somewhere.
After a long time, he reacted that Jiang Ran often ordered himself like this when he was a child jack.
It was just …… that this was the first time he had spoken without bringing the word ‘Laozi’ with him.
He shook his head, no longer thinking about it, flew out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Once he waited for Tian Youfang to leave, Jiang Ran glanced at the door:
“Come in.”
With a creak, the door to the room opened, and Tang Wuyi popped in through the door:
“Brother-in-law, father asked you to go to the front hall for dinner.
“Then we’ll all discuss …… what’s next.”
“Just in time, I also have something to say to Elder Tang.”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“Let’s go.”
The two of them went out the door and brought the old drunkard with them, and the group went to the front hall.
Inside this hall, Jiang Ran looked familiar, exactly the same as the Tang family in Cangzhou Prefecture, and there were already people sitting around the dining table.
Mr. Tang was sitting at the top of the table, sitting on pins and needles, only looking at Ye Jingxue in the center of the room, he still didn’t stand up.
After Tang Shixie saw Jiang Ran come over, she hurriedly got up and helped him push the old drunkard into his seat together.
“Come, let’s eat first.”
Elder Tang glanced at Jiang Ran and spoke softly.
Jiang Ran’s gaze then looked to see a few women sitting on the side.
Among them, the most notable one was a graceful and luxurious woman.
This person, whom Jiang Ran had met earlier in Cangzhou Mansion, was the mother of the two Poetic Sisters.
Seeing Jiang Ran looking towards her, she immediately smiled faintly at Jiang Ran.
With a slight forehead, Jiang Ran said softly:
“Outside of Tang …… there’s something we need to discuss.
“Yesterday, I went to the Sword Execution Division.
“From the side of the Sword Execution Division, I got a message ……”
He said, and took out the pieces of paper that the Princess had taken to him:
“Everyone, let’s see.”
Tang Shixiang on the side was the first to take it over, and just swept a glance and froze.
Then he hurriedly handed it to Mr. Tang.
Elder Tang and the old drunkard got together, and after reading the lines, the two old men looked at each other:
“This sword executing division, good ability ah ……
“Old Tang, you didn’t show your tail, did you?”
Officer Tang gently shook his head and looked at Jiang Ran:
“Xian son-in-law …… what do you think?”
“Last night was safe and sound.”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“But Abandon Heavenly Moon, would never give up this great opportunity now.
“And I am now thinking ……
“The Sword Execution Division’s skills are no longer good, want to discover the traces of the Devil’s Cult is only not so easy.
“…… the contents of these two pieces of paper, would it be a little too much.”
