Chapter 217.

Jiang Ran and Yan Wushuang trailed the man in black into the courtyard.

Pushing open the door of the room, it was already empty.

“There’s a mechanism in the room.”

Yan Wushuang glanced at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran, however, seemed as if he had already realized it, and directly came to the bookshelf on one side, stroking his two fingers over inch by inch.

Yan Wushuang was slightly flabbergasted at this, gazing at Jiang Ran’s fingers in silence.

It was then that Jiang Ran suddenly reached out and grabbed a book, yanking it violently.

This book was a fake, with adamantine silk hidden inside.

Now with a tug, the bookshelf opened up and a secret door was hidden inside.

“Go.”

Jiang Ran took the lead and drilled into the secret passage.

Yan Wushuang then followed him, only asking softly:

“The one that Senior Jiang used just now, isn’t it the rumored Seven Dexterous Heavenly Worker’s Hands?”

“……”

Jiang Ran was stunned, but he did not expect that he would be seen by Yan Wushuang, but pretended to ponder:

“What is the Seven Dexterity Heavenly Worker’s Hand?”

“It’s a special skill ……”

Yan Wushuang couldn’t see Jiang Ran’s face, and from within his voice, he couldn’t hear anything different, so he explained:

“Although there are many different kinds of organ techniques under the sky.

“But in the final analysis, they tend to start from the source, and eventually, after their respective development, they are then fused together by the mastermind.”

“The world’s general trend of combining for a long time will always be divided, and dividing for a long time will always be united?”

Jiang Ran had an odd expression.

“…… feel very coincidental? But the truth is that this is the case, and everything in this heaven and earth is always functioning according to a certain law.

“And the last mastermind of organ art was the one who personally created the Twelve Heavenly Coincidences of Wind and Fire Lashan.

“The Seven Celestial Artifice Hands were also created by him …… It is rumored that this is the foundation for those who want to become a generation of organ masters.”

“I see.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“But you’ve misunderstood, this is not the Seven Dexterous Heavenly Worker’s Hand of mine, and just now, I only noticed that the book wasn’t right.”

“En.”

Yan Wushuang nodded: “It should be that I am thinking too much, the Seven Dexterous Heavenly Crafting Hands want to be refined is rumored to be extremely difficult, one needs to spend a lot of money and material resources, and spend half of one’s life being adept at this path before there is a chance that one can achieve it.

“You are young, martial arts to this, it does not make sense that you can still be on top of other arts, consume this much mind ……

“En, the front seems to be going out.”

The front is indeed going out.

The cool starlight, through the gap in the portal, broke into the secret passage.

Jiang Ran carefully pushed open the portal and stepped out, only to realize that he and Yan Wushuang were now no longer within the Purple Moon Villa.

Outside was a slightly empty forest.

This caused Jiang Ran to frown slightly.

In front of the Yue Mountain Hall, the corpse of Wild Dog Daoist hung there.

There wasn’t really much of a problem with Dugu Xiong’s speculation, even in Jiang Ran’s opinion, there should be organs and dark passages on the side of the Yue Mountain Hall.

Therefore, this evening, when he found out that this black-robed man who stole the burnt-tailed zither was familiar with the dark passageways of the Purple Moon Villa, he was quite expecting that he might be able to use this to find the hub of the dark passageways underneath the Purple Moon Villa.

But did not expect, this one dark tunnel was so unskilled, directly dug from the Purple Moon Villa to the outside of the Purple Moon Villa ……

Yan Wushuang, on the other hand, compared the traces on the ground and pointed in a direction, “That way.”

“Go.”

Jiang Ran didn’t doubt it either.

The two of them flew up, and in just two rises and falls, they had already sought out that person’s traces.

It was just that that person was not far away even now.

Or, they felt that this distance, was already enough.

In the depths of the forest, on top of a huge rock, there was a black-robed man with a cloak sitting on it.

The man who stole the Jiao Tail then offered the Jiao Tail with both hands:

“I’m glad I didn’t dishonor you.”

“En.”

The man in black wearing a cloak hummed out a syllable softly, and then received the zither case with both hands:

“Then has Jiang Ran ever noticed the slightest thing?”

“Not yet.”

The person on the opposite side gently shook his head:

“It’s actually hard to live up to the reputation, are we not placing too much importance on this person?”

“He is that person’s disciple after all.”

The voice under the cloak was vague and odd, and for a moment it was unclear whether it was a man or a woman:

“No matter how careful, it is not too much ……”

“Then why not kill it?”

“The jianghu has a precious knife, sharp to the extreme, take someone’s head like a bag.

“You heard of this knife, alarmed by its ability to take the head, you want to destroy it?”

“This since will not!”

The person on the opposite side laughed dumbly:

“Such a precious sword should naturally be kept for yourself.”

“Jiang Ran is such a sword.”

The person under the cloak said indifferently:

“The higher his martial arts skill, the sharper this knife will be, and for us, the more favorable ……

“Therefore, it cannot be killed, it has to be used properly.”

Hearing this, Yan Wushuang couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ran and grinned.

Jiang Ran was expressionless, but in reality, his heart was also half-unable to ripple, feeling that this kind of thing was quite normal.

Walking in the world, it was always inevitable to be utilized by others.

Of course, how to think is people’s thing, how the final result, but have to look at their own skills.

The man in black on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and finally clasped his fists:

“Taught.”

The man in black wearing a bucket hat did not give a response, but instead looked down at the burnt-tailed zither in his hand.

Gently exhaling a breath:

“In the past, when this qin was obtained by the Ye Family, there was once a proposal to retrieve this item.

“Unfortunately, back then, the Lords were too deep in their schemes, and this qin is still useful to stay in the Ye family, which is why it has been delayed until now ……

“Now the Ghost Mansion Lord is seriously injured.

“Shi Pingzhang has been sent away from the country ……

“Jiang Ran a tea tasting and qin appreciation conference, almost took away everyone’s sight.

“But I didn’t expect that he would quietly hide Jiao Tail ……

“If not to see him and Jingtan Jushi, all the way to the Purple Moon Villa.

“Even we might have been fooled by him, it can be said to be a rare occurrence.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the black-robed man opposite him:

“Stand down.”

The man in black was silent for a moment:

“You really want to try? Although back then, the old venerable master obtained that page of the Twelve Heavenly Coincidences Record, there was a record of a way to open the Jiao Tail Qin.

“However, even his old man couldn’t tell if it was true or not.

“That’s why it was sent over and over to the Left Road Zhuang ……

“On the Sunset Ping, the young master of the manor can not be used, this death.

“Less this substitute for death, there is no reason to let you personally risk ah.”

“Jiao Mei is a big deal to us, and we can’t delay now.

“Every minute of delay is one more minute of danger.

“Although the precious sword is good, it may also backfire on you. After all, we have to get Jiaowei into our hands before he realizes it.

“This risk, ultimately have to take a risk, not to mention the old venerable master personally out to find the Twelve Heavenly Coincidence Records, there is absolutely no mistake …… Retreat!”

“Yes!”

That person had no choice but to promise, his figure swayed and came behind the black cloak.

At this point, that black cloak then flexed his fingers to play the zither.

And the rhythm that he played out was indeed also ‘Gong shang jiao zheng yu, fe shang jiao gong zheng.’ !

Jiang Ran gently exhaled a breath at this.

The method of unlocking the zither that the Young Lord of the Manor had obtained had originally come from them.

Yan Wushuang, on the other hand, had her mouth wide open.

She had already begun to doubt whether this was the real Jiao Tail or not.

Wasn’t it said that the Scorched Tail could not be played?

Why could this person play it?

And where did they find the Twelve Heavenly Coincidence Record?

Old Honorable Lord …… Could it be that they are?

Between the thoughts in his mind, he saw that the black cloak every syllable played, a wisp of sharp to the extreme waves of sound, will be scattered in all directions.

Surrounding trees, the ground, from time to time issued a popping sound.

As he finished playing the last syllable.

A click was heard.

Jiao tail side has opened a hidden compartment, wearing a black cloak of people reach out to go to the box to fumble.

It could be seen that at this moment, he was a bit nervous.

So much so that that hand was slightly trembling.

And the man in black standing behind him, his eyes were filled with excitement:

“Surprisingly, it really opened!”

As he was saying this, he saw that the black cloak had already taken out a piece of iron from the dark box.

The black cloak and the man in black simultaneously placed their eyes on this piece of iron.

Just then, a voice slowly came out:

“The two of you are quite good at it, not sleeping at night, but actually enjoying the qin and the moon here ……

“However, if I am not mistaken, this zither …… should be mine, right?”

The two people who were looking down to check the contents above the iron piece, simultaneously their bodies shook.

The black cloak subconsciously glanced at the man in black.

The man in black, on the other hand, snapped his head up to look into the darkness of the forest.

Jiang Ran took Yan Wushuang step by step and slowly walked out from the darkness, letting out a light laugh:

“This qin has fallen into my hands for many hours, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone who can open the hidden compartment in it.

“Here, Mister Jiang would like to thank you two friends from Heavenly Que for your help.”

Yan Wushuang, who was beside him, suddenly had an urge to turn around and leave.

Earlier, when she had heard that black-robed man mouthing the words ‘Old Venerable Lord’, she had already made a guess.

Now that she had personally heard Jiang Ran utter the words ‘Heavenly Que’, she knew that there was no longer any reason to be spared.

This trip of her own, she had really inserted herself into the muddy waters of Jiang Ran and the Heavenly Palace for no reason.

This was definitely not a good thing for herself, or for the Hundred Treasures Society.

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran let out a light laugh after sensing her gaze:

“By the way, I haven’t introduced you two yet, this is Yan Wushuang, the Vice Head of the Hundred Preciousness Society, Head Yan.”

“……”

If just a moment ago, Yan Wushuang was still unsure if Jiang Ran was intentionally counting on him.

Then after this sentence, Yan Wushuang completely understood.

Ever since Jiang Ran handed Ximen Feng over to himself, he had been counting on himself.

He had long suspected that Heavenly Que wanted to lay hands on Jiao Wei …… and he, himself, would inevitably tail him because of Ximen Feng s words.

At that time, he would be able to use the Hundred Treasures Society to deal with Heavenly Que.

He himself had fallen for Jiang Ran’s evil trick!

And the truly fatal part was that even if she knew that she had fallen for it, it was already too late.

“So it’s the head of the Yan Association ……”

The voice under the black cloak was slightly helpless:

“Young warrior Jiang, played a good game of chess.”

“I’m not good at chess, I only know how to fish, my methods are crude, I’ve made you two laugh.”

Jiang Ran gently shook his head, “It’s just that I didn’t expect that I would be able to see you guys this easily tonight. Speaking of which, I have yet to ask the two of you, which one of the two honors, the five gates, and the three divisions are you?”

The Heavenly Que had a strict structure.

Since the Supreme Lord was below, there were the left and right Two Honored Ones.

There were the five gates of red, black, green, blue, and white, as well as the three departments of wind, clouds, and thunder.

That day, outside the Cangzhou Prefecture, there was the Cloud Ministry stationed there, which nearly caused a major disaster.

Jiang Ran suspected that Heavenly Que had designs on the Jiao Wei Qin, but it was actually a long time ago.

The reason why Shi Pingzhang was able to know that Jiaowei Qin would be at Red Maple Villa was because of Heavenly Que’s Right Honorable Abandon Heavenly Moon.

Subsequently, the Jiao Tail fell into Jiang Ran’s hands.

All the experts from the various sects and schools in the Jianghu Lake wanted to obtain this qin.

The result was that the originator, Heavenly Que, did not react.

Jiang Ran how to think, all feel they will not let go, and finally the idea of suspicion, fell to Guan Jinqiu body.

Of course, up to this point was only suspicion, after all, there is no proof.

But now it seems that although it may not have been a letter written with Guan Jinqiu himself, Heavenly Que did make use of this person to try to take the Jiao Wei Qin into their hands.

The most crucial figure in this.

Naturally, it was Meng Huan, the owner of Purple Moon Villa.

He and Guan Jinqiu have been married for many years, and it is by no means difficult for him to want to impersonate Guan Jinqiu’s word and use it to invite Gu Xi Zhi and Jing Tan Jushi ……

Especially since he claimed to be sick and stayed away immediately after the incident at the Remnant Sun Sect was revealed.

It was almost as if he had carved words on his brain, clearly stating that he had colluded with the Remnant Sun Sect.

How could Jiang Ran not suspect him?

Need to know …… what the foundation of the Remnant Sun Sect is.

It is the Shifting Star and Heavenly Killing Demon Technique in the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Record.

Before the appearance of the Remnant Sun Sect, the East County Prefecture had never seen the slightest trace of this magic skill.

Now that the Heavenly Que had come, the Remnant Sun Sect had come, and so had the Demonic Skill.

How could Jiang Ran ignore this?

Feiyun Mountain, Feiyun Walled City, wasn’t Li Feiyun likewise?

When the people from Heavenly Que arrived at the Cangzhou Prefecture, they brought with them the Blood Cauldron True Scripture of the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records.

The paths of these two are exactly the same.

Therefore, what Jiang Ran had wanted to say to Tang Yuyi before the dinner party was that he intended to go and find this Meng Huan.

It didn’t matter if he was the Sect Master of the Remnant Sun Sect or not.

If he found this person, he would be able to directly solve all the mysteries in front of him at the fastest speed.

However, he didn’t expect the Wild Dog Daoist to suddenly die.

This made Jiang Ran certain that the Remnant Sun Sect or the Heavenly Que was indeed within the Purple Moon Villa.

If their purpose was truly the Jiao Tail Qin, then perhaps there was no need for them to go to Meng Huan at all, they would have come to find themselves in person.

The way things turned out was that the first one to come at night was actually Yan Wushuang.

It was only afterward that the …… party came back with the real ‘noble guest’.

Now that the guest of honor was already on top of the chopping block, Jiang Ran as the ‘master of the house’ naturally couldn’t help but show up to meet him.

In the face of Jiang Ran’s words, the man in black only gently shook his head:

“We have nothing to say to you.”

“Didn’t you say it quite well earlier? It’s already cleared up quite a few doubts for me ……”

Jiang Ran smiled faintly:

“Your plotting against the Red Maple Villa is not for the Jiao Tail Qin.

“Instead, you used the Jiao Tail Qin as a bargaining chip to scheme against the Heartless Ghost Mansion’s Mansion Master ……

“Shi Pingzhang once told me that he and several other experts joined forces together before seriously injuring the Mansion Master.

“But even so, they themselves paid a great price.

“As a result, the Heartless Ghost Mansion was in internal turmoil, so much so that a group of demons and monsters showed up in the jianghu to commit crimes.

“And now that the burnt-tailed zither has been turned by my hand, it has even made the stable Thirteen Gangs no longer stable ……

“You insist on stirring up this muddy water of the Jianghu, its purpose, what exactly is it?

“I sincerely ask for advice, I hope that the two of you will be able to give Jiang Mou to solve the confusion.”

When Yan Wushuang heard this, he had already despaired of turning around and leaving.

What should be heard and what shouldn’t be heard had now been heard.

There is no way for oneself to stay out of it. ……

Just, the original Heartless Ghost Mansion’s prefectural lord, was seriously injured, and didn’t know where he was?

No wonder recently there are rumors in the jianghu, there are some old devils who have not seen for years, recently this period of time, not moving to appear in the jianghu.

Although today is only a small flame, but if no one pay attention to it, I am afraid that this mess is still on top of the thirteen gang turmoil.

As for the Thirteen Gang’s own matters, how could Yan Wushuang not know?

As Jiang Ran said, this Jianghu chaos has already begun!

And the source of all this was from the Heavenly Que in front of them.

The black cloak looked at Jiang Ran, who was close at hand, and suddenly sighed:

“You shouldn’t have come.”

“……”

Jiang Ran thought about it for a moment and felt that he should have responded.

Just thinking about it, he felt a little embarrassed again:

“You have something to say.”

“I don’t want to kill you.”

The black cloak’s tone was tinged with regret as he glanced at the iron piece in his hand:

“The scorched tail qin …… is one of the twelve heavenly coincidences.

“I know that you are the heir to the Nine Blades of the Surprising God.

“If I didn’t have the Jiao Tail Qin, I’m only afraid that I wouldn’t be a match for you.

“But now, since I have the Jiao Tail, you are no match for me.

“The problem is that I can’t show mercy …… so once I do, you can only die.

“Therefore, you shouldn’t have come tonight.

“I don’t want to kill you …… It’s the truth.

“You are far more useful alive than a dead man.”

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment:

“After listening to you guys tonight, I was also thinking about how I would actually be used by you.

“As far as Jiao Tail is concerned, my holding the Tea Tasting and Qin Appreciation Conference on Sunset Ping is already considered a good use of my resources.

“I killed Gu Renlong, and the chaos of the Thirteen Gangs is just around the corner ……

“But you still think I’m useful.

“Then in that case, it seems that my usefulness can only be that one place.”

“…… Which one?”

Yan Wushuang couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran said softly:

“Where the Heavenly Que is located, the first encounter was in the Cangzhou Prefecture.

“The second time it’s crucial and I must be used, it should naturally be the Jinyang Prefecture.

“Because if there is no mistake, my master is there.

“It is rumored that the Abandoned Heavenly Moon is also there.

“And of these two places, one is adjacent to the Leaving Kingdom.

“The other place …… borders the Green Country.

“Heavenly Que, do you guys want to set off another chaotic war between the five kingdoms?”

When these words came out, the black cloak’s circumference suddenly shook.

Sighing softly:

“I can’t keep you!”

In the next moment, he mouthed the words:

“First strike the head and tail on both sides ……

“Then tap the body of the zither three times ……

“Finally snap the Gong Shang Yu three strings …… endeavored to exhaust his strength, and began to come out without regret!

“Jiang Ran, you should also feel honored, you are these years, the first person who really died under the jiao tail qin.”

With these words, the three strings in his hands had been pulled to the extreme.

Yan Wushuang, on the other hand, was covered in hairs of sweat.

Wanting to leap forward to dodge, she was pulled by Jiang Ran to her death.

In the next moment, the strings were loosened, buzz buzz buzz!

Three buzzes came together, and three puffs of blood splashed out from around that black cloak, and the entire person, broke into three sections.
