Chapter 367.
Sharp pain around the body, strange itch drilling the heart, alternating hot and cold.
All sorts of sensations were intertwined in one place.
It could never be summarized by just the word ‘pain’.
If one had to describe it, it would be worse than death.
And once one screams, it is as if one’s throat has been stuffed with a branding iron.
It was even more torturous to the point that one could not die immediately.
If you don’t scream, it’s even harder to endure.
It can be said to be a dilemma.
This padlocked youth’s eyes were round and glaring, his eyes were full of blood, and his voice was like a broken gong:
“Kill me …… you guys …… you guys kill me!!!”
Jiang Ran looked all a bit heartbroken, but leapt to his feet and spoke softly:
“Old Uncle Chen, this Eight Bitterness Divine Needle of yours shouldn’t just make him feel unusual sickness, right?”
“Young Lord is right.”
Old Uncle Chen said with a smile on his face:
“On top of this silver needle of my old slave, there is Yan Wang’s Wrath hidden.
“But it doesn’t kick in as soon as the needle enters the body, rather, it really kicks in only after the Eight Bitter Divine Needles have displayed all sorts of visions.
“That is to say, he now feels all sorts of abnormalities, all by Yama King’s anger expanded more than a hundred times.
“I think that in a moment or three, his spirit will be weakened to the extreme.
“When that time comes, he will be able to speak without pain after relieving his throat needles.
“Whatever the Young Lord will ask him then, I think he will tell you honestly.”
“Impressive!”
Jiang Ran exclaimed with a beat:
“This tactic of Old Uncle Chen is truly great, and if used in the right place, it can be considered unbeatable.
“But I don’t know, does this method cause any damage to the body?”
“Good to call the young master to know, this method in the body actually does not have much damage.”
Old Uncle Chen said with a smile:
“The human brain is complex and bizarre, the old slave realized that all kinds of human feelings come from this.
“Therefore, the Eight Bitterness Divine Needle only works on the brain.
“It is like the illusion of the illusion of the world of the sea building.
“It may seem inscrutable, but it’s just a trick on the eyes and the brain.
“But it can also kill.
“When a person really thinks he’s dead, and his brain tells him that he’s dead …… then he’s really dead.
“Even the body will show corresponding manifestations.”
Jiang Ran listened and had to sigh with emotion that the wisdom of this ancient people could really not be underestimated.
Although he had never underestimated the intelligence of the people of this era, but Chen Laobo’s words still made him somewhat unexpected.
And then look at the padlock of the youth, really is already confused, the corners of the mouth drooling, eyes white, seems to have been close to the time of death.
Chen old uncle has been in control of the palm of the silver needle, see this is the silver needle is a movement, said softly:
“This person is mentally tough, it will take a little time to pry open his mouth.
“Please stay a little while.
“If you find it boring, you can go up there and look for two books on the wind and moon.
“The last time the young master came, the other untouched, only took away a book of the wind and moon magazine, the old slave privately thought that the young master at that time preferred this way.
“Therefore, I have entrusted someone to collect a few more classics.”
“……”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while:
“Old Uncle Chen you have misunderstood …… It is not me who likes to read the book of wind and moon.
“Rather ……”
When he said this, he saw Old Uncle Chen give himself a look with an expression that said ‘Don’t worry, I understand everything’.
The words that followed then didn’t make it out of his mouth.
Just thinking of Dao Wu Ming, he finally let out a long sigh.
In the future, he would not be able to hear his phrase ‘this is proper Fang Zhi’.
This padlocked youth is indeed a mentally tough generation, all the way to the torture of the mind drowsy, a full half an hour later, Jiang Ran also just asked his name.
His surname was Wu, Wu Qian Chong.
But other than that, not a single word was revealed.
Jiang Ran asked him what position he held in the Blood Cicada, and which one of the adults he followed, and this type of question, whenever he heard it, he touched his head to the ground, hating that he couldn’t die right away.
However, both of his hands and feet had already been cut off by Jiang Ran.
Touching his head to the ground was also powerless, and apart from making his head even more drowsy, it didn’t have the slightest effect.
Time was lost in this process, minute by minute, until the east saw white, this night completely passed, this person’s mouth was finally pried open.
And by this time, his spirit had completely collapsed.
His eyes were stagnant, besides being able to speak, he seemed like a living dead man.
Old Uncle Chen gently loosened the silver needle, wiped his hand and said:
“These people’s hearts are like iron, and even when faced with the Devil’s Cult’s Heart Demon Nen, they may not be able to spit out the truth.
“The old slave with the eight bitter divine needles this torture, although pried open the door of the heart, but this person in the future is only afraid that it will never be possible to restore the old view.
“If the young master performs this technique in the future, he also needs to be cautious.
“This method is irreversible, once it really leaves complete damage, it will only look like this for the rest of his life.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded gently, then asked that Wu Qian Chong:
“What position do you hold among the Blood Cicada?”
“Blood Cicada …… Cicada Wings.”
“Cicada Wing?”
Jiang Ran glanced at Old Man Chen.
He had opened his mouth to speak a few times earlier, so it was evident that this person had some knowledge of the Blood Cicada.
However, facing Jiang Ran’s gaze, Old Man Chen did not say a word.
He just stood there quietly, as if he had never heard his words.
Jiang Ran’s eyes turned, and he was already thinking.
Nodding lightly, he then asked:
“Do you know if there are any other cicada wings besides you?”
“The Blood Cicada Cicada Wings are divided into two colors.
“One is the Blood Cicada Wings and the other is the Colorless Cicada Wings.
“The former is counted as the commander, and there are four of them within the capital.
“The colorless cicada wings are spread all over the rivers and lakes and the four seas, secretly transporting the situation of the rivers and lakes.
“What I know …… is that besides me, there is another person …… who is in charge of the Heavenly Sound Penetrator.
“But what is the specific identity, I am not clear.”
Wu Qian Chong really already knew everything.
“Then with your understanding of this person, you think, who will this person be?”
“……”
Wu Qianzhong face suddenly emerged out of the pain color, as if a flood beast was hidden in the throat, said in a voice that was almost like a hiss:
“It’s …… it’s …… he’s …… he’s …… he’s ……
“Yu Wen Ting!!!”
The son of the Minister of the Household?
Jiang Ran looked up expansively:
“You’re talking nonsense, Yu Wen Ting is weak and sickly, he can’t practice martial arts, how can he become the Scarlet Cicada Wings who is in charge of the Heavenly Sound Penetrator?”
“I …… don’t know …… what you said, you said let me guess …… I have been guessing that this person should be Yu Wenting.
“Yu Wenting is weak and sickly, this person, this person is also coughing even if he moves a little twice ……
“In addition, Yuwen Ting is by no means a person who does not know martial arts.
“I once …… because of curiosity about the identity of that person, then secretly tried to probe Yuwen Ting.
“It was found that this person …… this person is armed with martial arts and has a deep hide ……”
Wu Qianzhong violently opened his eyes, and his eyes looked at Jiang Ran with horror:
“You …… you stop asking …… me, I can’t say, I can’t say!!!”
“In your cognizance, which one of this full court is likely to be a Blood Cicada senior?
“Or rather, within the Sword Execution Division, who are your Blood Cicada people?”
Wu Qian Chong’s face was filled with the color of rejection, yet his mouth opened:
“The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Feng Qinglian.
“The Ministry of …… Punishment, Guo Tian.
“As far as I know …… the two of them are bound to be my Blood Cicada’s people.
“In addition to this, it is …… is the Jianghu!
“I Blood Cicada secretly control the power of the jianghu, within the capital, the Hundred Treasures Society has Changsun Wuji, the Mountain and Sea Society has Shentu Hong, and the Dao Yi Zong …… Dao Yi Zong …… Law Enforcement Elder Dao Yuan.
“There …… is also …… more.”
As he said this, he looked at Jiang Ran and suddenly grinned:
“Within the Sword Enforcement Division, although I have no obvious evidence. But …… but as far as the eldest princess is concerned below, perhaps, perhaps all of them are my Blood Cicada people.
“You …… you should have listened to my Blood Cicada’s orders.
“Now but backfired on its master, when …… really when really wildly paradoxical to the extreme.”
Jiang Ran was listening attentively at first, but as he listened, he felt that something was wrong.
He hooked his fingers slightly and said thoughtfully:
“What about the Jianghu? Throughout the jianghu, how many people do you, Blood Cicada, control?”
“There are ten buckets of Jianghu martial artists in the world, and I, the Blood Cicada, control seven buckets alone.”
The corner of Wu Qian Chong’s mouth hooked up in a smile:
“How …… Jiang Ran …… though you are strong in martial arts, but, if I, Blood Cicada, am willing, you will be beaten into a thousand pieces in a moment!”
“What a thousand-footed.”
Jiang Ran glanced at Old Man Chen:
“Go fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.”
“Yes.”
Old Uncle Chen promised and quickly brought what Jiang Ran wanted.
He personally studied the ink and had Wu Qianzhong list all those Jianghu forces that had colluded with the Blood Cicada on it.
It was almost a full article.
It could be described as shocking!
Jiang Ran took the piece of paper and gently blew the ink dry.
“Then, besides the Cicada Wings, among the Blood Cicadas, who else is there?
“And what about their martial arts?”
“There …… is also the chief.
“From top to bottom, the Blood Cicada, in addition to the Cicada Lord, there are also seven chiefs.
“Each of their martial arts is unfathomable …… Even if we hold the Twelve Heavenly Coincidences, it is difficult for us to compete with them ……”
“Twelve Heavenly Coincidences ……”
Jiang Ran dragged up that Ruyi lock:
“Is this really the Ruyi Lock, one of the Twelve Heavenly Coincidences?”
“Give it back to me ……”
Wu Qianzhong subconsciously opened his mouth, yet after saying so, he realized that Jiang Ran couldn’t possibly give this back to him.
Then he highlighted a deep breath and let out a cold laugh:
“The world says that …… twelve heavenly dexterity to get one will be able to cross the jianghu.
“But it is an exaggeration.
“Although each of these things has great power, but in the end, it is only external power.
“To be fierce for a while, it is still possible …… to want the world invincible, that is a dream.”
When Old Uncle Chen heard this, he lowered his head and said in Jiang Ran’s ear:
“Young master, this person’s sanity is gradually recovering, I’m afraid his words are starting to become untrustworthy.”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly and thought for a moment, saying:
“Just as well, let’s call it a day.
“Old Uncle Chen, since the door to his heart is open, if he uses the Devil Sect’s martial arts again, can we inquire in more detail?”
“It can.”
Old Uncle Chen nodded:
“This Eight Bitterness Divine Needle of mine, if it is assisted by the Heart Demon Thought, it will be invincible.”
“Hmm.”
Jiang Ran glanced at Wu Qian Chong and suddenly smiled:
“Never mind, let’s ask another question.
“You said that in the Mountain and Sea Association, Shentu Hong is one of your people.
“What about …… Shen Tu Lie?”
“…… Shen Tu Lie is pretentious and is not qualified to enter my Blood Cicada.”
“I’m afraid that has to be heard in two separate halves.”
Jiang Ran stood up and said to Old Uncle Chen:
“For these few days, let’s leave this person here for the time being. It’s still up to Old Uncle Chen, to help take care of it.”
“Don’t worry, young master, with the old slave here, he won’t be able to escape even if he has a hair on his head.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded and turned to go out.
On the other hand, Old Uncle Chen locked Wu Qian Chong up before he cast some more means before chasing him out.
When he arrived in the middle of the bookstore, he saw Jiang Ran rummaging around in front of the bookshelves, seemingly intending to pick two books to look at.
However, Old Man Chen saw at a glance that Jiang Ran was flipping through the Wind and Moon Journal.
He immediately turned around and coughed.
Jiang Ran froze and turned back to look, somewhat puzzled:
“Old Uncle Chen, what are you …… doing?”
“No harm, no harm, the old slave has never seen the young master flipping through the wind and moon journal. The young master is not good at this path, the old slave already knows.”
“Feng Yue Zhi?”
Jiang Ran froze, lowered his head to look at the other basically on the bookshelf, flipped one by one, and realized that what was depicted in this, was really mostly unpleasant to look at.
Immediately shook his head helplessly, also did not distinguish anything, just said:
“Chen old uncle, I ask you …… where my master is now, do you know?”
“……”
Chen old uncle immediately reticent.
“Can he be in the capital?”
Jiang Ran asked again.
Old Uncle Chen sighed:
“He is not in ……”
“Where is he now?”
“Old slave doesn’t know either.”
Old Uncle Chen glanced at Jiang Ran, his eyes somewhat memorialized, and finally shook his head gently:
“Young master looks, really looks like your mother.”
“You’ve seen her?”
Jiang Ran was suddenly a little curious.
He had never had any concept of the two people, Jiang Tianye and Lady Qingyang.
The old drunkard had always avoided talking about them.
This matter would poke at his sore spot, and Jiang Ran was not in a good position to ask.
In fact, at that time in the Jin Yang Mansion, if the old drunk hadn’t run away first, Jiang Ran would have had to break the sand pot and ask to the end.
As a result, the old drunkard ran away, and Jiang Ran had no one to ask.
Although Officer Tang must also know something …… but as a person in the devil religion, he has a filter on both of them.
What Jiang Ran wanted to know wasn’t that people were singing their praises, but simply wanted to know what kind of people they both were.
So naturally, he couldn’t ask from the mouth of Elder Tang.
The old drunkard’s notes did mention Mrs. Qingyang.
In the records, he only wrote ‘Qingyang’, and his crooked handwriting, whenever he landed on the word ‘Qingyang’, his strokes would become extremely correct and gentle.
When he was writing, he thought that he was also thinking of people.
What would be in his heart, just by looking at the notes, he already had some idea.
Old Uncle Chen was silent for a while before he spoke:
“Qingyang girl …… Alas, to this day, the old slave still does not dare to imagine that she has already married and had children.
“Even if the young lord is in front of me now …… please forgive the young lord.”
“No harm.”
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
“Their older generation’s flings have nothing to do with me.
“And although they are my parents, I’ve never seen them …… Now it’s just that I want to hear about it from the mouths of bystanders. ……”
Old Uncle Chen nodded:
“Miss Qingyang is a thunderous and strange woman.
“Although she is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, she has a delicate heart and a gentle character.
“Although there is no lack of hot-handedness, she ultimately calls out for her good nature.
“When we first met, we didn’t know her identity.
“After several encounters, we thought we were destined to meet, so the master traveled with him.
“He was reborn after a great tragedy.
“He was full of curiosity and longing for the world, the jianghu.
“And Miss Qingyang, for him, was like the first glow of a new life.
“Those times we all look in the eyes …… are also very happy.
“But the young master rest assured, the master and Miss Qingyang, have always been sent out of love, never the slightest overstep.”
Jiang Ran nodded and shook his head again, his heart was more or less complicated, but he didn’t know how to describe it.
“Further on, we don’t know exactly how it has changed.
“Miss Qingyang’s identity is known by the master …… Between the righteous and the devil, it is always very entangled.
“The master was in the middle of it, and also went through a lot of thinking before deciding to let go of his preconceptions.
“But I didn’t expect that the two people would still end up being destined for each other.
“That will be exactly what happened we do not know, only know that the master with a knife and go, wounded and return.
“But the body of the wound healed quickly, the heart of the wound, but it is difficult to heal.
“Since then, the master has never mentioned Miss Qingyang.”
When Old Uncle Chen said this, he apologized to Jiang Ran as if he had thought of something:
“The old slave was negligent.”
Saying this, he came to one side and poured Jiang Ran a cup of tea.
Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:
“Old Uncle Chen doesn’t have to be like this.”
“Since I separated from my master, I’ve gotten used to living alone and forgot that I still have to serve others.”
Old Uncle Chen let out a bitter smile:
“Young master must not blame me for being old and confused.”
“Where are the words.”
Jiang Ran said:
“Last time, I hurriedly met with you, but I didn’t have time to ask in detail.
“How did you separate from the old drunkard.”
“The master was suffering from a love injury and was unwilling to see anyone, so he placed us in the south and north of the sky, each making our own living.
“Several years then passed in a flash.
“When the master gathered us together again, we were already very different.
“Unkempt, laughing at the world.
“He seemed to be smiling, but we could always see the misery hidden in his smile.
“He said he wanted to build the Amazing God Order and leave behind the Amazing God lineage.
“That time coincided with the chaos of the five kingdoms, and we all thought that our master wanted to take advantage of the chaos to claim his throne.
“But we didn’t realize that the reason he did it was still for Miss Qingyang.
“We integrated our affiliations, and we had accumulated quite a bit of power and eyes.
“Then we discovered that someone was intent on doing harm to Miss Qingyang.
“In a fit of rage, my master turned to the land of the five kingdoms and killed all of these people.
“But he didn’t want to fall into the trap of someone else’s plan.
“By the time he returned, Miss Qingyang’s life was already in danger.”
Old Uncle Chen’s eyes rippled as he said this:
“We rushed in, but we were ultimately one step too late.
“At that time, the sky was filled with snow, and Miss Qingyang was holding Jiang Tianye’s corpse, sitting alone on top of the green stone beside the riverbank.
“When she saw her master, she smiled and then told him that:
“‘I have no destiny in this life, and can only be responsible for you; if there is an afterlife, I will surely repay you. My son Jiang Ran, with the escort far away …… hope that you have mercy, can go to a rescue. Afterwards, if you think of the past favor, you can find a farmer to adopt it, the rest of his life is long, you …… you do not want to be alone, need to find a good man early.’
“These words, the old slave has not forgotten so far.
“The master does not want to go far away, want to save her, but she knows her life, flatly refused.
“Also said that he did not want the master to see her body dead soul …… let him leave as soon as possible.
“The master has always taken her nothing to do, only think first went to find the young master, and then come back to look for Miss Qing Yang.
“But when we come back, Qingyang girl and Jiang Tianye’s corpse are already nowhere to be found.
“I expect that they were buried by the corpse collectors.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ran suddenly looked up at Old Man Chen:
“In other words, when the old drunkard left, she wasn’t dead?”
