Chapter 263.
“Willow Courtyard.
“Originally, it was the residence of a large family surnamed Willow.
“Half a year ago, this courtyard suddenly changed ownership and fell into the hands of a merchant surnamed Wang.
“But this Wang merchant has long since left Jinyangfu.
“Since then, this huge manor that stood less than ten miles outside of the Jinyang Mansion was as if it had been abandoned.”
Inside the Temple of the Martial God, the old drunkard didn’t care what Jiang Ran’s reaction was after hearing his words, so he talked about the situation of the Willow Courtyard on his own:
“But three months ago, there were again sightings of people within the Willow Courtyard.
“After my master investigated, he found that these people were hired by someone to clean up and clean.
“They also knew nothing about the identity of their employer.
“Other than that there isn’t much special about them.”
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Ran:
“I know you’re strong in martial arts, but I guess you’ve seen that letter as well. Just imagine how much they actually wrote?
“Within the Willow Courtyard, there’s bound to be a mix of dragons and snakes, and this isn’t a problem that can be solved by carrying a sword and rushing up to kill and kill.
“The vast majority of things in this world are also not set in tone by martial arts.
“The best of the best is the best of the best, but whenever there is a need to use martial arts, there is already nothing that can be done about it.”
Jiang Ran nodded gently.
He certainly knew this truth.
Putting the matter of Tang Shixiang aside for the time being, he had been considering how to deal with the matter of the Willow Courtyard for some time now.
There was only one ultimate goal, and that was to find and behead Abandon Heavenly Moon.
But Abandon Heavenly Moon had drawn many confusing formations within this Willow Courtyard.
Disrupting people’s vision, but also secretly plotting mysteries.
Many times it seemed seamless, but in reality, it had left traces long ago.
For example, ‘Bai Xichao’.
If Jiang Ran went to the Willow Academy with this identity, it would be a louse on the head of a bald man, clearly visible at a glance.
The advantage was that Abandoned Heavenly Moon might not be able to use it to do something to him, thus revealing his footsteps.
But the same, if people do not move, just staring at you, a slight slight movement can not hide from the other side.
Then can you still stand by and watch them make things happen?
Therefore, this identity is better not to use.
After he said this, Tang Yuyi glanced at him and spoke softly:
“I do have an idea.”
Jiang Ran and Old Drunkard looked at Tang Wuyi at the same time.
Tang Painting Yi smiled faintly:
“Bai Xichao is a lamp, and this lamp means the Amazing God Sword Jiang Ran.
“Once it appears within the Willow Courtyard, it will inevitably attract the attention of Abandoned Heavenly Moon.
“Therefore, brother-in-law absolutely cannot enter the arena cloaked in such an identity.
“But …… I can!
“When there are lights, there are lights.
“If brother-in-law steps into the Willow Courtyard draped in the identity of an unusual character, he will be careful to act unobtrusively.
“Under the shroud of this ‘bright lamp’ of mine, he will be able to go unnoticed. And yet, one can always observe this lamp.
“and thus capture the horse’s footsteps of the Abandoned Heavenly Moon.”
“You’re trying to lure a snake out of its hole and use yourself as bait?”
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and gently shook his head:
“Not good.”
The old drunkard glanced at Jiang Ran with a wry smile:
“What’s not good?”
“It’s too dangerous.”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“This trip to the Willow Courtyard is complicated. Good and evil have gathered, not just Abandoned Heavenly Moon, but also many people from the righteous path.
“Or even people from the Devil Sect ……
“Among them, it is not yet known if I am the one most worthy of Abandoned Heavenly Moon’s attention.
“But once Bai Xichao’s identity steps into the Willow Courtyard, many people in the righteous path will want to kill him before he is killed.
“The first commandment of the jianghu is prostitution.
“This matter is the most hated, the elimination of a mountain fortress is not as fast as killing a reputation of a lecherous thief.
“And Bai Xizhao such a big lecherous thief, which do not want to let his soul return to the sky?
“By the time Abandon Heavenly Moon didn’t come, waves of righteous masters lined up to kill you, and what to do?
“But if you move, Abandon Heavenly Moon will be able to realize that you are not me.
“Then today’s reckoning, it won’t work.”
Tang Yuyi frowned slightly, still wanting to discern, when she heard the old drunkard say:
“He’s worried about you and is heartbroken.”
“Hey!”
Jiang Ran instantly raised his wine gourd and crossed his eyes:
“You speak with discretion!”
It’s like if you say one more thing that’s not right, I’ll knock on your head with this wine gourd.
The old drunkard raised him, how could he not understand his nature, and did not take him seriously at all, saying with a smile:
“You do not see this kid usually ghostly, but some places, but the shaft is very.
“A lot of things to see very open, but there are a lot of things can not see open.
“And what is not open to see often lies in himself and in others.
“His mouth always says painfully, what people not for themselves heaven and earth, but in reality the heart is soft ……”
Tang Yuyi couldn’t agree when she heard this:
“It’s not his heart that’s soft, he just met with me and poisoned me.”
Saying this, she also poked her tongue out at Jiang Ran, as if she was a little girl tattling in front of her elders.
It was the face that topped Li Tianxin that made Jiang Ran very uncomfortable.
He had the heart to knock the wine gourd that was originally intended to knock on the old drunkard’s head, and knocked on Tang Yuyi’s head to forget about it.
“Then has he ever killed the wrong person?”
The old drunkard looked at Tang Wuyi with a smile.
Tang Wuyi thought for a moment and shook her head, “That’s really not true.”
“He is thunderous, not sparing a single person who should be killed, and not moving the slightest bit for those who shouldn’t be killed.
“To be honest, I’ve been keeping an eye on things regarding this kid.
“He has ruthless means, he once poisoned someone in front of his face, forced the other party to drink it, and controlled the other party to use it for himself.
“This means, more devilish than your devilish religion.
“But all the way until today, but never killed a person in vain.
“The people he killed, all have a way to take death.
“So, I say that in addition to his soft heart, for some things, in fact, he is also a bit indecisive.
“But when it comes to his own fate and the fate of others, he hesitates.
“It’s like, he’s heartbroken about you but doesn’t dare to say ……
“In reality, he is worried that if a love affair develops between you and him, and if he is unable to reciprocate, he will tire you for life.
“This, in fact, can not blame him …… After all, his first twenty years only feel that he has twenty years of life.
“The habit that was formed, not a day and a half can be changed.
“But it also shows that his mind is serious about these things, but where he recognizes it, it is a lifetime commitment.”
“Have you said enough ……”
Jiang Ran had already blackened his face like iron, just now he was still talking about Tang Shixi, and in the blink of an eye, what the hell did he say to Tang Wuyi ah?
The old drunkard glared at him, meaning ‘you stay out of it’.
Jiang Ran’s mouth twitched in anger.
Tang Yuyi, on the other hand, slightly lowered her head and said softly:
“I know, I listen to him anyway, whatever he says is fine …… I’ll just do as I’m told.”
The old drunkard looked at Tang Wuyi and sighed softly:
“You ah …… okay, since you listen to him, then the three words Bai Xi Chao can not be used.
“Throw it aside for the moment, nowadays there is still a need to prepare two new identities for you.
“This is something that I have also prepared for.”
As he spoke, he felt around in his sleeve, and a moment later, pulled out two crumpled balls of paper and threw them to Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi respectively.
The two took them casually, and Jiang Ran looked disgusted:
“Is this what you wipe your nose with?”
“Nonsense, isn’t it hard to wipe your nose with this?”
The old drunkard rolled his weird eyes and looked at the paper ball in their hands again, wondering:
“It was fine when I first put it in, why did it turn into a ball?”
Because you’re sloppy and your heart is still thick!
Jiang Ran found a reason for him in his mind and casually opened the ball of paper.
There was a face drawn on it in a subtle and slightly warped manner, and next to it was the person’s name and identity.
“Tong Qianjian?
“Knife Maniac in the jianghu?
“With a one hundred and two pounds of gold silk large ring knife …… height and physique is similar to me, but this knife …… where do I get it from?”
Jiang Ran looked up at the old drunkard.
“All ready, tomorrow you go to the west gate street entrance within the rice and grain store to find the shopkeeper to take is.”
The old drunkard said as he felt around in his pocket again, and finally felt out a small iron plaque and threw it to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran casually took it and saw that it was only an inch in size with a knife engraved on it.
Turning over the back, the words ‘Frightened God’ were written on it.
“This is the Shocking God Order.”
The old drunkard spoke indifferently:
“Your master has been hanging out in the jianghu for many years, and he is not without roots.
“Since leaving ……”
He said here with a slight lurch, gently shaking his head:
“Forget it, that one will not be mentioned, anyway, these years I have also created a foundation.
“The one in the rice and grain store at the west gate street entrance is not a person from the Devil’s Cult, it’s one of mine.
“When you meet him, call him an old devil even if it’s an honorific.”
“……”
Jiang Ran realized that this Master of his own, really was out of tune.
Old ghost is considered an honorable title, then what is the unusual title? Little ghost?
What kind of mess is this.
However, he still put this Amazing God Order away.
Then he heard the old drunkard say:
“Only, the means of changing face is extraordinary, Little Painting Intention has the Heavenly Chance Dueling Great Shifting Shape Method.
“Rabbit brat, what skills do you have?”
Jiang Ran let out a cold laugh, his face suddenly rippled, and in an instant his face changed into the old drunkard’s appearance.
In the next moment, the murderous aura on the old drunkard’s body rose to the sky.
His figure didn’t move, and the tiles on the Temple of the Martial God clattered and trembled endlessly.
Tang Yuyi’s figure was forced back by this murderous aura in a hula.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, sensed in an instant that there was sword intent in all directions.
Only his eyes flickered as he looked up at the old drunkard:
“You’ve had enough.”
“……”
The old drunkard’s eyes were then startled, and between his thoughts, he heard a few clatters, and the tiles on the head of the Temple of the Martial God fell down, but they had already been chopped off by the invisible blade.
“This is the Autumn Water Condensing Ice Decree?”
The old drunkard muttered, “This thing, how did you learn it?”
When Jiang Ran had performed it just now, it had really startled him.
He only thought that his precious disciple had been turtled up by Immeasurable Sheng.
That’s why, in a moment of shock, his killing heart rose.
However, after calming down, he knew that he was given a fright.
However, he didn’t understand how Immeasurable Sheng’s Autumn Water Ice Condensation Skill could have fallen into his own disciple’s hands.
Jiang Ran thought carefully for a moment and said:
“You allow me to think about it ……”
“Don’t you think about it!”
The old drunkard hurriedly waved his hand:
“Love to talk about it, the old man doesn’t love to know yet.”
He followed that hole in his head, looked at the sky, and sighed:
“It’s almost time …… for the master to leave first.
“The matter of the Willow Courtyard, you see to it. Although, it’s not something that can be solved by killing and slaying, but if you’re really impatient to deal with it, then simply kill them all.”
“You’ve been spending too much time with the Demon Sect’s people, haven’t you?”
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes.
Tang Yuyi muttered in a low voice, “We’re not like that, compared to us, you guys are more like the Demon Sect.”
The old drunkard laughed and didn’t argue with her.
He just looked at her before glancing at Jiang Ran and let out a light laugh:
“Let’s go.”
“Old thing.”
Jiang Ran suddenly spoke.
The old drunkard turned around at the sound.
Just as he heard a whirring sound, something flew in.
He casually caught it, but it was a knife:
“Broken Gold Knife?”
“Don’t use that wooden knife.”
Jiang Ran spoke softly:
“That was still given to you when I was ten years old, don’t hang it on your waist day after day to disgrace yourself.
“It’s a nice knife, but I’m not very comfortable with it, so I’ll give it to you.
“Don’t you take it and sell it for wine!”
As he said this, he unhooked the wine gourd from his waist again and threw it over as well with a flick of his hand.
The old drunkard caught it again casually and said with a smile:
“Isn’t this all one gourd?”
“This is not the same …… This is the wine of the Thousand Yun Mountain Village.
“Give you a taste ……”
Jiang Ran sighed as his gaze turned around him:
“A big age, I reckon you don’t have a few years to live, be good to yourself …… If you don’t have any money, you can tell me, I can’t take out a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver, but I still have ten or eight taels of broken silver.”
“…… Bullshit!”
The old drunkard burst into a rage when he heard this:
“Do you think Master doesn’t know what you have done? You must have at least more than a hundred thousand dollars now, right?”
“Probably more than that.”
Tang Yuyi helped out on the side.
The old drunkard blew out his beard and glared even more, but after glaring for a while, he let out a breath and let out a light laugh:
“Save up well and buy a big mansion.
“The master really counts on you to marry a few more good women, to have children for you, in the future, the house is small, but can’t live in this many people …….”
Speaking here, he threw back the broken gold knife:
“You keep this one, and I will take the wine.
“Your knife is too expensive, easy to be missed by thieves …… Once my old man is scared, I can not help but take it for wine, this is not for wine, this is for a peace of mind.
“Fortunately, there is this little broken wooden knife of yours.
“It is not worth money, and no one misses it, bring it to kill people is also quite numb.
“Bunny …… don’t worry about the teacher, no you around drag, the teacher is good.
“Let’s, then wait for the Jin Yang House affairs, and then have a good drink.”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t look back again, his figure only swayed, and he had already arrived outside the main hall of the Temple of the Martial God, and with another flash, he was already nowhere to be found.
Jiang Ran gripped the Shattered Gold Blade and gently exhaled.
Tang Yuyi came to his side and tilted her head to look at him:
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a look from your face.”
Jiang Ran reached out and covered her eyes:
“Then don’t look.”
Tang Yuyi subconsciously went to move his hand, and heard Jiang Ran whisper:
“Don’t want you to look ……”
The force in her hand then dissipated a lot, just gently holding his wrist:
“Then I won’t look.”
After easing up for a short while, Jiang Ran loosened his grip:
“Let Xuanyuan Yidao come in.”
Tonight’s events weren’t over yet.
The disciples of the Blood Sword Hall had come unexpectedly, lured by Gu Renlong as well as the Iron Blood Thirteen Riders.
Now that the Iron Blood Thirteen Horsemen had been taken down by the Blood Dagger Hall, this son of Gu Renlong had also fallen into Jiang Ran’s hands.
This matter, what should be instructed still had to be instructed.
Xuanyuan Yidao quickly brought people in.
Not only was there Gu Renlong’s son, there were also the Thirteen Iron-blooded Horsemen.
“Master En, although the Thirteen Dogs of Iron Blood are not good for people and have no guts, these thirteen fast horses are the rare good horses in the world.
“Even if it is the important minister of the dynasty and the palace, it is not easy to get such a horse.
“It’s a pity to kill them, why don’t you take as many as you can, Master En?”
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and didn’t rush to reject it, but instead glanced at Gu Renlong’s son.
What was this child’s name Jiang Ran didn’t know yet, and he didn’t need to know.
Instead, he looked at Jiang Ran with a mixture of fear and hatred.
Jiang Ran came to him, and he subconsciously cowered behind him, his teeth, which he had clenched with death, cackled because they were trembling.
“Do you know who I am?”
Jiang Ran spoke softly.
“I know …… that you are the Amazing God Sword ……”
The boy gazed at Jiang Ran:
“It’s my father’s murderer!!!”
At this instant, Jiang Ran’s heart was flooded with an emotion that was hard to separate.
I don’t know since when, he had also become an existence in other people’s lives that he was bound to kill?
He let out a light laugh:
“You are right, I killed your father.
“And from today onwards, you shall not practice martial arts, you shall not study, I will wear out your heart, let you be as peaceful as a pig, as timid as a mouse, no more claws and teeth of revenge, but you can live your whole life peacefully, what do you think?”
That child listened dumbfounded, unable to understand Jiang Ran’s words for a moment.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“It’s me who thought poorly …… line, a knife, this child for the time being is very important to you.
“You need to protect well, not to damage the slightest bit, also can not tell people to find.
“If the matter of Penetrating Thunder Hall comes to a critical moment, this son can be a hammer.
“In fact, the best way, is to let you accept him as a disciple ……
“It’s a pity.”
He gently shook his head and didn’t continue on, but instead came to that Iron Blood Thirteen Riders’ heel.
“Have you guys thought about your end?”
Jiang Ran spoke softly.
As soon as his words fell, someone shouted angrily:
“Kill if you want to kill, cut if you want to cut, don’t try to show off your tongue and cause shame for nothing!”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“I honor good men the most in my life, then as you wish.”
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Blood Sword Hall disciple standing behind him immediately raised his hand and dropped his sword, and a human head fell to the ground.
“Twelfth brother!!!”
Apart from Iron Blood Thirteen Riders, other than Tie Qing Shan, the others and others all cried out in sorrow.
Jiang Ran spoke again:
“Anyone else who wants to die can also say so, and I’ll have someone send you on your way one by one.
“Now that it’s freezing cold, the wolves of the mountain range have no one to feed them, throwing your corpses into the mountains would be considered a gift of nature for them.”
Tang Yuyi stood to the side, grinning straight as she watched.
He said in his heart that this old drunkard had gone …… Otherwise, he really wanted to show him how this disciple of his had a soft heart?
