Chapter 261.

Inside the Martial God Temple, Jiang Ran was silent for a long time.

He didn’t know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

A person he didn’t even know, in order to save his own life, without knowing anything about it, he was silently enduring the most terrible pain in this world.

When he was under the Autumn Rhetoric Stage, Jiang Ran had seen the patterns engraved on that stone pillar, and all the various things on it were like the eighteen layers of purgatory.

A girl, in the end what kind of determination perseverance, to be able to resolutely go to bear such pain.

Only for a …… stranger?

Instead of Jiang Ran’s heart being touched today, it should be said to be confused, as well as …… indignant!

No matter what kind of situation, it shouldn’t allow a person to give to this extent for the sake of another person.

“Why did …… not stop it?”

Jiang Ran slowly opened his eyes and looked at the old drunkard:

“You were able to stop it!

“She doesn’t owe me anything, there’s no reason for her to do such a thing.”

“When have the people of the Devil Cult ever been reasonable in their actions?”

The old drunkard let out a cold laugh, followed by an exhale:

“I can stop Elder Tang and make him dismiss this idea.

“What’s more, I can kill him and prevent him from forcing his daughter ……

“But back then, from the first moment that child and you met, some things were already doomed.”

“I …… have seen her?”

Jiang Ran was surprised, he was a traveler, and all his memories since childhood were in his mind.

If he had seen Tang Shixiang, even if the woman had changed, there would still be an impression in his mind.

“She has seen you ……”

The old drunkard glanced at Jiang Ran:

“And with her skills, how could you have discovered her?

“Truth be told, every year since she was ten years old …… she has come to see you.”

“Why has she never shown up?”

Jiang Ran frowned slightly and glared at the old drunkard again, “I couldn’t discover her, who should I blame?”

“Blame fate! Who let you be the Demon Sect’s Young Zun?”

The old drunkard sighed as he spoke:

“As for why you never showed up …… is because I didn’t let ……

“I promised Officer Tang to help him save your life. Teaching you the Nine Blades of the Surprising God was my selfishness, and not teaching you the internal martial arts was their request.”

After these words were said, it was clear what Old Drunkard and Elder Tang had in mind.

The old drunkard had kept Jiang Ran by his side for twenty years, imparting the Nine Blades of the Shocking God and teaching him to cheat and deceive.

The Nine Deaths Jedi Pulse lives twenty years, no more.

Since the beginning of this extinct disease, no one had ever lived past twenty.

Therefore, the old drunkard’s selfishness, in addition to teaching him the Nine Daggers of the Frightening God, was to keep him until he was twenty years old.

If there was no cure for this disease, then Jiang Ran would be given twenty years without the Demon Sect.

Undisturbed, he could live innocently and happily.

Afterwards, he would be sent to Mr. Tang, and married to Tang Shixie.

Let Tang Shixi love for his salvation ……

Whether it succeeds or fails, it is considered to leave a ray of hope.

Jiang Ran thought it was hard to tell whether this plan was good or bad.

He wasn’t an old drunkard, so it was difficult to understand the old drunkard’s state of mind, and he wasn’t a member of the Tang Clan, so he couldn’t understand the Tang Clan’s persistence.

Most importantly, he was not Tang Shixiang.

Even now, he still didn’t understand why Tang Shixie did what she did.

As if he could see the confusion on Jiang Ran’s face, the old drunkard did not intend to continue to use reasons such as ‘people in the Devil Cult do things without reason’ to continue to put him off.

After a slight contemplation, the old drunkard said:

“The reason why I agreed to this matter is because at that time, even though Elder Tang had such intentions, he never forced Tang Shiyi to do so.

“The Devil Sect asks for the heart, only the heart.

“That year, Tang Shixiang, who was only ten years old, came to me in person and said something to me.

“She said ‘The Devil Cult is falling apart, and Young Zun has a great deal at stake. However, my Demon Sect never acts in a forceful manner, even if it is my father.’

“‘But as a disciple of the Devil Sect, how can I bear to see my disciples scattered? For the sake of the greater good, I would like to cultivate this path.’

“‘But if the heart is not sincere, it will be difficult to cultivate for ages, even the person who created this method back then has not gained any results.’

“‘Therefore, from today onwards, give me three years’ time. I see him once a year, and then ask the secret method of the Heart Lodge, knocking on the door of the heart can be willing?’

“‘If you are willing, even if ten thousand blades are added to your body, it will be like drinking sweet rain. On the contrary,……, if he has doubts in his heart and finds it difficult to hold himself, this matter will be considered his destiny, and with my ability, it will not be enough to save him.’ .”

This was something a ten year old child could say?

Jiang Ran looked at the old drunkard.

The old drunkard sighed:

“It’s what she said, even though words can deceive, her eyes can’t fool anyone.

“It’s not that Elder Tang forced her to say it, she spoke with the utmost sincerity, she couldn’t hide it from my eyes.”

Jiang Ran exhaled softly and thought of another thing.

At that time, under the Autumn Rhetoric Post, Tang Paintings had once told him after arriving at that First Sorrow of the Ancient World.

This martial art had only been accomplished by one person since the beginning of time.

At that time, Jiang Ran thought that the one who accomplished this martial art was the rightful owner originally buried under the Autumn Rhetoric Stage.

But now it seems …… to be Tang Shixiang.

The old drunkard then continued:

“She also, as she said herself, has come to see you every year since then.

“Until the age of thirteen …… she suddenly told me that she fell in love with you, this love knocking at the door of the heart, absolutely no false.

“Just this statement I have not taken to heart, only think that she will not yet reached the age of maturity, and how to know what love?

“But after another year, this heart has not changed, and I remembered that this child has been different since she was a child.

“She is tough-minded, and young and old, far from the ordinary can be compared to ……

“And at that meeting, she was already firmly determined to begin cultivating the First Sorrow of the Ten Thousand Ancients.”

He paused slightly as he said this.

Thoughts flooded his eyes.

He remembered that since Tang Shixiang had truly begun to cultivate the First Sorrow of the Ancients, the old drunkard had seen her for the first time and could hardly believe his eyes.

“That was originally such a spirited, beautiful child.

“Yet suddenly, it seemed as if she had changed into a different person. Emaciated, pale without a trace of blood, she was no longer able to walk on her own, her injuries were deep in her bones, and when she moved, she could only sit on a chair and be pushed.

“Even when she opened her mouth to speak, her voice was dry as if she were an old crone.

“At that moment, I really hate can not kill the Tang clerk …… but that child’s eyes in the luster, but so burning.

“Her heart stored hope, although the body as a withered, but the heart is like the sun.

“I can not force her to give up …… then want to shake her mind.

“Since everything in the devil’s religion only seeks the heart, then if it shakes the heart, this matter, whether there is still room?

“So ……”

“So …… since the age of fourteen, you’ve been forcing me to hang around flowers and visit greenhouses?”

Jiang Ran suddenly found a reasonable explanation for the old drunkard’s unreliable behavior.

A young girl in the throes of love, if she knows that her sweetheart sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows, how can she not be shaken?

It’s better to be sad than hurt, and it’s still for a nebulous possibility.

Because even if Elder Tang’s method, no matter how feasible it was, whether or not it could save the Nine Deadly Veins was still an answer between two possibilities.

“That’s right.”

The old drunkard spoke indifferently:

“However, aside from that, I originally also wanted to let you experience the joy of the red dust and recognize the meaning of the red pink skeleton.

“If a similar situation occurs again in the future, you can naturally be as stable as Mt. Tai in your heart.

“Unlike my …… life for the beauty of the fascinated, and ultimately only ended up a to the old lover to raise children of the miserable end.

“But who can think, you kid oil and salt, but also directly from the greenhouse window jumped out, fell and broke his leg are not afraid of …… really do not know whether your guts in the end is big or small.

“But in this way, but even more determined her mind.”

But the old drunkard has also never given up.

Tossing Jiang Ran in different ways, the two opened up a six year long battle of wits.

And during this period, Tang Shiyi also still insisted on the habit of coming to see Jiang Ran once a year.

But also just watch three years ……

After three years, she could no longer tolerate long distance traveling.

She could only keep it in her bosom.

After that, it is Jiang Ran in that small courtyard, the moon on the willow tops, under the tree beautiful people like a dream meeting.

But now when I think of that scene, all the doubts at that time, seem to have an explanation.

Only, Jiang Ran still couldn’t realize what kind of thoughts Tang Shixiang would have at that meeting.

When she learned that there were still other ways to save her Nine Deadly Veins, was she happy, or was she sad?

Was she relieved, or …… somewhat disappointed?

That side of the few words, she is with what kind of mood, state of mind with their own words?

In this instant, Jiang Ran felt that his breathing became heavy.

He had a deep love, but he didn’t know how to return it.

“You’ve basically been told everything you want to know, how about it, what kind of thoughts?”

The old drunkard cocked his head and looked at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran gently shook his head:

“I don’t know ……”

“That’s why she’s not willing to tell you.”

The old drunkard said softly:

“Actually, by all rights, we shouldn’t have told you either ……

“There are times when too heavy a favor can make it hard to breathe.

“Shixiang is worried that if you treat her differently in the future, is it because, she is Tang Shixiang, or is it because of the suffering she once suffered for you?”

“How is she …… doing?”

Jiang Ran suddenly raised his head and asked the question afterward, but then lowered his head and muttered to himself:

“She’s fine ……”

If she was not fine, how would she be able to kill all of the Green River Gang and the Cloud Ministry disciples outside of Cangzhou City.

Not only was she fine, but her means were divine.

“It’s considered a blessing due to a disaster.”

The old drunkard said:

“The so-called First Sorrow of All Ages actually came from a delusional thought.

“The people of the Devil Cult deviate from the scriptures and act in an unconventional manner.

“While ordinary people dare to think but not to do, they do as long as they think.

“In former years, there is a master of the devil religion, once saw a sentence in a book …… the beauty of the person is far better than the stars.

“Borrowing this sentence, he then began to explore deeply.

“Discovering that the human body possesses the most precious treasure under the sky.

“He believed that we cultivate internal gong not because of the effect of the gong method.

“Rather, it is because, through just such a pathway, this gong method triggers the treasure within the body.

“Who does not see that the internal power is only within the body, but not seen outside the body?

“Because internal power is sensed from within, internal power is self-generated.

“Has there ever been an end to one’s cultivation of internal force? The path of martial arts is as vast as the sea, and there is never an end, so there is no end to tapping oneself.

“If you can dig up all the human body’s great treasures and turn them into medicines, you will be able to live a long life and see a long time.”

“……”

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while.

At that time in the Autumn Rhetoric Stage, he had heard that the late emperor of the Golden Cicada Dynasty had gone on a quest for immortality in the past.

As a result, this matter ended up being unsettled.

Jiang Ran suspected at the time that this matter might have been planned by someone else, so he asked Dao Wuming to keep an eye on it.

After the battle of Sunset Ping, Dao Wuming also left without saying goodbye, may not be really into the capital to track down this old case to go.

The old drunkard’s words are not yet finished.

Open the human body’s great collection, long life and long sight clouds, naturally, are all a thought.

But the devil disciples never dare to think and do, since they have this idea, they will put it into action.

But back then, that devilish master was not so obsessed, and came up to use himself to open and refine.

Rather, he captured many people and used various methods to try to stimulate them to open the treasure in their bodies.

Finally realized that pain is the unquestionable method to open the Xuanmen.

Ordinary people after his means, has not yet obvious feeling, but practicing martial arts in the jianghu, every experience can let the power greatly increased.

This is what gave rise to the First Sorrow of the Ancient World.

Since then, he destroyed countless people, made endless attempts, although never once succeeded, but thought he was on the right path.

The reason why he didn’t succeed was because those people who brought him to try didn’t have the appropriate heart and couldn’t be tough enough to make it to the end.

Therefore …… he finally came down hard on himself.

What is the result, look at the autumn resignation stage will also know.

But before he died, he still did not feel that the first sorrow of the ages was wrong.

So he left this cultivation method, a copy of it in the devil religion, and later compiled into the eighteen heavenly devils record, and the other copy was recorded in the stone pillar above the underground of the autumn resignation stage.

The reason why he took the name of the first sadness of the ages …… was actually not because he felt that this martial art was sad.

He felt that the sadness was himself.

He had discovered the unique method of heaven and earth, but unfortunately, he had not succeeded.

If it had succeeded, he might have become the number one grandmaster in the ancient world.

Wouldn’t that be sad?

Thus, the party was the first sadness in all of history!

Mr. Tang was trying to save Jiang Ran, the young master of the Demon Sect.

Painstakingly, rummage through the magic books, listing several secret methods, take the long and make up for the shortcomings, and finally let him create a divine power.

Taking its name as [heart devil nirvana big – law].

Can rely on the heart of the devil nirvana big – method, still too shallow.

That’s why he thought of the First Sorrow of the Ancient World.

If the two are practiced together, they can borrow the power of the Heart Demon Nirvana Method to create two Nirvana dans in the body.

But these two are not from the same source, so they can’t be combined, which also led to Tang Shixi’s inability to move afterward.

The body meridians everywhere constrained, all the time by the body of the internal force, every minute and every second is like to bear the torture of the lynching.

Even though the internal force of the body of God, but also half can not be used.

It is necessary to combine Yin and Yang to send these two Nirvana dans to Jiang Ran’s body.

Jiang Ran will have no internal strength in his body, so he can use this to let the Dan strength into the skeleton, reshape the sinews and bones, and re-tune the meridians.

Only in this way could he be reborn in Nirvana, transforming his body.

Not only can save Jiang Ran’s nine dead veins, but also allow him to cross the top, become one of the few masters under the sky.

This was also the reason why Elder Tang didn’t allow the old drunkard to teach Jiang Ran his inner strength.

And the reason why he wanted the two to get married.

For one thing, it was because the method of salvation required yin and yang to be in harmony, and only by practicing the way of husband and wife could it be accomplished.

Secondly, once this method is accomplished, even if Tang Shixiang is able to regain her ability to act, the injuries from practicing the First Sorrow of the Ancient World, coupled with the fact that her foundation was handed over to Jiang Ran’s Nirvana, she will also become an invalid.

And the most worrying thing was that once the obsession of saving Jiang Ran was completed, it was not unlikely that she would perish.

As Tang Shixiang’s father, how could Elder Tang not fulfill her wish?

So that she could marry Jiang Ran and fulfill her dream?

Who would have thought that all of this would not work out in the end.

Jiang Ran could save his own life, under the influence of Tang Shuyi’s demonic thoughts, this was undoubtedly true.

In the end, Mr. Tang had a change of heart, since the things he had prepared for so many years couldn’t be used anymore, it would be better to split them into two.

Both can give Jiang Ran to leave a point of confidence, but also can leave his daughter’s life.

Therefore, Jiang Ran was knocked out, and through the Heart Demon Nirvana Great Method, the two Nirvana Great Dans in his body, one was given to Jiang Ran, and one was left to Tang Shixiang herself.

This does not need to perform that husband and wife reality, is also considered to leave room for each other.

Only Jiang Ran’s one, deep within the dantian, does not show outside.

Jiang Ran had never practiced the devil’s inner strength, and it was also difficult to utilize the divine power.

On the contrary, after Tang Shixiang had lost the control of one Nirvana Dan, she was reborn in Nirvana, and not only had her martial arts skills recovered, but she had also reached an unimaginable realm.

This was also considered her reward for the many years of pain she had endured.

After the Tang family withdrew overnight, these things, Jiang Ran also know.

It was just that at that time, he didn’t know yet, what this family had actually paid for him.

He also didn’t know what kind of mood the Tang family was in when they found out that he was practicing Taoist internal martial arts in his body.

In the end, out of what kind of consideration, did not reveal his identity, chose to move the family.

He even had Tang Yuyi disguised as Li Tianxin, guarding him at all times to protect his safety.

After the old drunkard had finished talking about this series of things, the three people within the Temple of the Martial God all fell into silence.

The one who was the first to break the silence was still Jiang Ran, who looked up at the old drunkard:

“I want to see her.”

He had to see her!

Although he still didn’t know what he should say or do after meeting her.

But nowadays, he had to see her no matter what.

To see this woman who had burned to the ground for herself, who might even fall to the point where there was not even a bit of ash left, and who was still willing to do so.

That night’s pair of eyes, at this moment reflecting the door of the heart.

He suddenly realized the core teachings of the devil religion ……

Follow the heart!

The heart of the devil is greatly at ease!

However, the old drunkard glared at him:

“She doesn’t want to see you right now ……”

“…… Why?”

Jiang Ran froze, he felt that she should also want to see herself.

Why did she avoid seeing him?

“Because, you don’t even look at her much.”

Tang Yuyi was silent up to this point and finally spoke:

“There’s no need for me to give you a heads up on this, right?”

“Look at her ……”

Jiang Ran froze, how could he look at her? She is not around ……

With this in mind, he suddenly thought of the painting on the day he left the Tang family!

Could it be that …… there was another mystery on that painting?

But, but he did not take it at that time!
