Chapter 441.
The conversation was brief, and the two men knew nothing of what had been said before.
Only these last two sentences were heard.
But just the elements revealed in these two sentences alone had already caused Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi to be dismayed.
The person with the resounding voice, the honorable lord he spoke of, should be Jun He Ya.
He bluntly stated that after this matter, the past would be written off.
Then what happened in the past?
The old man whose voice was permeated with compassion should be the monk of this Yongning Temple.
He said one wrong step, one wrong step ……
It seems that he should have done something in the past and thus been taken advantage of.
Combined with that phrase ‘one wrong step’, it made Jiang Ran think that this old monk should have done something that was discovered by Jun He Ya, and used it as blackmail to make the old monk do something for him.
But this matter, however, made both Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi unable to understand.
The last thing the old monk said was that he was going to take this person with him, to meet that Shi Master underground?
Zhen Cheng had said that what was locked up underneath the Yongning Temple was the current old sect master of the Devil Sect ……
But wasn’t the old Sect Master captured by Jun He Ya and then locked up underground at Yongning Temple?
And why let people bring to see again?
Or does …… he want to see, not the old sect master, but someone else?
After glancing at each other with Tang Yuyi, the two of them quietly flew into hiding.
They had come here to find the underground passage to Yongning Temple, now there was someone to lead the way, naturally there was nothing better.
In fact, if they couldn’t find it again, Jiang Ran was going to grab someone to ask.
Anyway, with Tang Yuyi’s heart demonic thoughts in place, if the old sect master was really inside the Yongning Temple, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find him.
But it seemed like it wouldn’t be useful right now.
Just then, they heard the door of the room creak open, and a man with a half iron mask on his face walked out of the room in tandem with an old monk.
The old monk currently led the way, with the iron mask following closely behind.
Finally, Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi followed.
Between the fast and slow steps, they had soon arrived at the Great Hall of the Yongning Temple.
In front of them was the statue of Buddha, surrounded by incense and candles.
The old monk knelt in front of the Buddha with his hands folded in front of him, sincerely saluting the Buddha.
Iron Mask stood with his arms folded, but he didn’t even look at the clay statue in front of him.
Finally, the old monk stood up, walked to the Buddha’s niche, reached out and fumbled for a few moments, before leading the iron mask to the Buddha statue behind.
Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi followed carefully, and only then did they realize that a door had opened behind the statue.
After waiting for the old monk and that iron mask to go in, this door quietly closed.
“Interesting ……”
Tang Yuyi let out a cold laugh:
“Sincerely saluting the Buddha, as if he was pious to the core.
“Only to end up opening the back to the Buddha’s behind ……
“With the Buddha’s golden body as a cover to perform that shady thing, what do you think he’s really considered?”
“Some people’s faith is not faith, it’s just a layer of decoration.
“Decoration naturally can only play the role of decoration ……”
Jiang Ran casually responded to two sentences, then came under the Buddha niche, reached out to touch, under the seven celestial craftsmen’s hands, he soon found where the mystery was.
A moment later, he withdrew his hand.
Leading Tang Yuyi towards the back of the Buddha statue.
Sure enough, he saw that the Buddha statue gave open back again, the two of them went inside in a smooth manner, and after entering the door, their feet slightly shook, and the portal behind them was closed.
Tang Yuyi looked back:
“Brother-in-law, the mechanism under your feet is convenient for closing this mechanism door behind you, but if you go out, what should you do?”
“……”
Although Tang Painting Yi always called him brother-in-law, it always felt like this sentence of brother-in-law at this time made Jiang Ran’s heart a bit weird and messy.
He pointed to a bump on the wall:
“I guess it’s this one.”
“Try it?”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran didn’t hesitate, the retreat was ready, so he could naturally move forward.
His Seven Dexterous Heavenly Worker hand probed in and gently pinched his finger on top of the protrusion, turning it slightly, and any slight change in the internal mechanism could not escape the Seven Dexterous Heavenly Worker’s perception.
That’s the case, Jiang Ran turned forward and backward five times in a row.
The door behind him opened quietly.
Tang Yuyi slightly exerted her feet and stepped down on the floor.
The door instantly re-closed again.
“Interesting.”
She sighed in admiration.
“Wait until we turn around and build a big manor, and build some of these mechanism dark passages in the manor as well, so you can play with them every day, okay?”
Jiang Ran said with a smile.
Tang Yuyi immediately nodded in favor.
Then with a slight turn of her eyes, she suddenly smiled foolishly.
Jiang Ran was surprised:
“What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing nothing, just thought of something interesting.”
She stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Jiang Ran:
“Let’s go, the old Sect Master has just been suffering there, the two of us kissing here, I’m worried that after the old Sect Master knows about it, his beard will have to be pissed off.”
Although Jiang Ran felt that Tang Yuyi must have thought of something unseemly in that moment just now.
However, seeing that she didn’t say anything, Jiang Ran didn’t ask any more questions.
He led her down the tunnel.
Within a few steps, there was a burst of Sanskrit sounds in his ears.
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Yuyi with an odd expression, while Tang Yuyi was also aware of it at this moment.
After a moment of silence, the two continued forward.
Not long after they resumed their journey, the sky opened up in front of them.
In front of them was a wide underground space, and on the rock walls on both sides, a grotto had been dug out.
In each grotto, there was a monk, and beside the monk was a lamp.
The lamps were connected, and Sanskrit sounds were heard.
The sound was carried in all directions.
Although they had sensed the situation underground earlier, seeing so many monks sitting in this grotto chanting sutras still left Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi a little stunned.
These monks had also discovered Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi.
After all, there was only one path here, and if they wanted to go down, they would have to pass through the monks.
Other than that, unless one knew the art of hiding, there was no other way.
But these monks do not even look at Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi a glance, just eyes seem to open non-open, mouth to send Buddhist scriptures, seems to have long been two things.
After Jiang Ran was silent for a while, he simply continued to move forward.
Tang Yuyi followed closely behind.
The sound of chanting was getting louder and louder, and in the end, it seemed not to be ringing in the ears, but to be born from the heart.
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi were both people with firm hearts.
They were unmoved by it, and didn’t even need to use their energy to resist it.
They soon passed through the place where the monks were chanting sutras.
Until they came to the very end of this Buddhist chanting cave, there was an old monk sitting at the top of the end passage.
He barely opened his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi.
Softly, he opened his mouth, while his voice was quietly sent to Jiang Ran and Tang Yingyi’s ears:
“The two monks, the sea of bitterness is endless, turning back is the shore.”
When Jiang Ran heard this, he smiled:
“What if I don’t want to turn back?”
“Woe and fortune have no door but people call their own.”
With these words, the old monk slowly closed his eyes.
It seems that he did not want to speak again, nor did he stop Jiang Ran from going inside.
If Jiang Ran thought about it, he clasped his fists:
“Many thanks.”
After saying that, he led Tang Yuyi to take a step out to the second portal.
Up to this point downwards, the sound of chanting didn’t stop in the slightest not to mention that it became louder and louder.
Jiang Ran pondered, this underground space should be another mystery, a group of old monks sitting above chanting, but the sound can be transmitted through the organs to all the underground space.
And further down, will see the intention of this move.
A cell appeared in Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi’s field of vision.
The sounds of screams were also coming and going, but compared to the sounds of chanting in the sky, they were not worth mentioning.
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi looked one by one, there were all kinds of people here.
There were men and women, old and young.
But while most of them were in a sorry state, there was also a portion of them with kind brows, sitting cross-legged and in a peaceful state.
In the midst of this chanting, they were at ease.
Just as they were walking forward, they saw a screaming man on the side, suddenly sensed them, and fiercely took a step to the front, reaching out and hitting the iron door with a palm.
Only the expected loud sound did not come out, instead, the hand of that man instantly swelled up.
He sucked in cool air in pain, and then said loudly:
“You …… guys save me, I am Northwest Mad Dragon Ruan Xingtian! As long as you guys save me out, I’ll …… I’ll teach you everything I’ve learned in my life!!!”
Northwest Mad Dragon Ruan Xingtian?
Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Wuyi, originally thinking that Tang Wuyi wouldn’t be able to know about this Qing Guo Jianghu master either.
However, he didn’t expect Tang Wuyi to have a face of dawning realization.
When she looked at Jiang Ran’s insular look, she couldn’t help but laugh again:
“Northwest Wild Dragon that’s what he said himself, it’s actually Northwest Wild Thief.
“This person is a great thief who roams across the northwest of the Green Country.
“His methods are cruel and his martial arts skills are strong.
“Under the banner of robbing the rich to help the poor, but never really helped the poor.
“That year in the northwest of the solid broke out a lot of fame, but later did not know where.
“So it was locked up in this Yongning Temple underground.
“Baptized by this Buddhist scripture every day.”
Jiang Ran blinked:
“You know all this?”
“Naturally I know.”
Tang Yuyi said with a smile:
“Although the focus, all these years, has been on you.
“But all the various information among the five countries will also be presented to us as much as possible.
“It’s just that over the years we’ve fallen apart, and the intelligence system is no longer the same as it was in the past, so the information we get is not as thorough as it was in the past.
“Times have changed, and many things are different.
“Otherwise, we wouldn’t be unaware that there is such a location under the Yongning Temple.”
Jiang Ran nodded and stopped paying attention to that Ruan Xingtian.
Continuing onward, and after this gang saw Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi, except for those who already had peaceful faces, most of them rushed forward and opened their mouths loudly to ask for help.
And this gang of people which are famous, once a long time of experts.
The more he walked, the more Jiang Ran was stunned.
Finally, he sighed softly:
“So it seems that Yongning Temple is actually a heavenly prison.
“It is specially used to imprison those who commit crimes in the Jianghu Lake.
“Otherwise, with the capabilities of this one temple, Yongning Temple, how could it be able to capture so many people?”
“And their internal power should also be controlled, being shocked …… by this Buddhist scripture here every day is also strange and pitiful.”
Tang Yuyi gently shook her head and said to Jiang Ran:
“Otherwise, let’s kill them all, I’m looking strangely intolerant.”
A Jianghu man who was about to rush up to ask for help, his face suddenly changed at the words, and he immediately shrunk back.
Jiang Ran laughed dumbly:
“Confusing words, we have no grievances or enmity with them, why kill them?”
The Jiang Ran of the party nodded his head repeatedly.
That’s right, there is no grudge in the distant past, there is no enmity in the recent past, somehow why would we do this to them?
Although this man’s appearance is not good, but is a good person ah.
The heart for help rekindled, was about to move forward, then heard Jiang Ran said:
“After all, there is no benefit to killing, there is no need to waste that idle time.”
“……”
That Jiang Ran opened his mouth and shrunk back again, so it wasn’t because of a good heart.
Rather, it felt like a waste of time?
These two are really the same raccoon, both are not good people!
But it’s also right …… How could a good person appear here?
Tang Yuyi skimmed her lips:
“That’s true, you don’t have that brand on this side of the Green Country, get them out and say you arrested them, I guess the officials won’t believe it.
“There really is no point in fooling around.”
The two people said as they walked forward.
After crossing this dungeon and continuing down, the sound of chanting was even louder here.
But there were very few cells.
There were a few scattered ones, some sitting on their knees, some hanging on for dear life.
That chanting sound couldn’t be said to be useless to them, but it was clearly much more relaxing than the ones on the previous floor.
Among them, there was also one with a straw stick in his mouth, wiggling his feet.
It looked like the posture was very relaxed.
After seeing Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi, these few people were a bit stunned.
Just then, they heard the voice of the one with the grass stick in his mouth clearly penetrate between the roiling Sanskrit sounds:
“So rare, it’s usually rare to see a living person on this floor.
“This one night unexpectedly came four.
“Where did you two come from?”
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi glanced at each other, and without waiting to open their mouths, they heard a man with a head full of red hair sneer:
“Why should someone who is about to die say so much to them?”
“That’s not necessarily true, for those who have the ability to break into this place, how many unusual people are there?
“Maybe soon he will be our neighbor.”
The man with a grass stick in his mouth, smiled and glanced at both Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi:
“Tell us, what’s your name, where did you come from, and why are you here?”
“Your honor’s posture is so relaxed, it’s evident that you haven’t lost your internal strength, now that you’re staying here, could it be that you’re willing?”
Jiang Ran replied.
The man didn’t care and said with a couple of grunts:
“You know shit.
“But where there is a choice which one would willingly suffer here?
“You can’t even get out, and you eat, drink, and shit all within the cells on this floor.
“It’s annoying as hell. ……”
“Then why don’t you go out?”
“Can’t get out.”
As he said that, he stood up and casually wrenched the iron door, the iron door was instantly wrenched open by him, and he took a step out of the cell, pacing in place with his hands behind his back:
“You should have seen that chanting cave when you came, right?
“Let me tell you, the monks there aren’t simply just experts from the Yongning Temple, there are also experts from the Da Fan Zen Academy.
“This group of monks in collusion to get a painfully correct big formation.
“When they come in they don’t care, when they go out, they strike.
“Either they come back to change their ways, or they have to be beaten to death.
“Our gang has broken into the formation one after another, four or five times now.
“As a result, every single time, we’ve returned with no success.”
Tang Yuyi almost didn’t burst out in joy at the words.
Everyone was surprised as they looked at Tang Yuyi, hearing this kind of thing and still being able to laugh?
Is this a fool or a nerd?
Jiang Ran also gave her a strange look.
When Tang Painting Yi saw this, she said to Jiang Ran:
“I just thought of what you said to that old monk just now, he said something about the sea of bitterness having no boundaries, turning back is the shore.
“Now listening to what they said …… again it feels very interesting.
“They don’t care if we step into the sea of bitterness, but after giving the opportunity for the first time, and then want to go to that shore, these monks are standing on the shore, holding a big mallet, and see who shows his head to smash who.
“Wouldn’t that be fun?”
“…… Well, if you put it that way, you can’t blame them.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“After all, people should have said what they said and persuaded what they persuaded.
“Still want to come in …… come in and then regret, want to go out …… then it’s too late.”
“You can still gossip this easily?”
The man with the grass stick in his mouth looked at Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi in surprise:
“In the end, is it because the artist is bold, or is it because he has a persistent head problem?
“Well, let me try!!!”
With those words, he suddenly struck out.
His fists interlocked, and the shadows of his fists filled the air, stirring up gusts of wind.
Jiang Ran raised his eyes to look at him:
“This boxing method is somewhat interesting.”
As the words fell, he took a step forward and reached out with one hand.
In an instant, it passed between the densely packed arm silhouettes.
With a snap of his five fingers, he landed on the opponent’s shoulder.
With a slight exhale of internal force, that person immediately let out a muffled grunt and dropped to one knee.
“Aigoo, let go let go let go let go ……”
That person’s tears were falling from his eyes in pain:
“I admit defeat, admit defeat, admit defeat …… You do have rampant capital.”
Defeated between this move, not only was the person who made the move stupid, but the few spectators around were also stupefied.
After looking at each other, their eyes all burned with hope.
Just heard one person say:
“So powerful, this grab looks simple, but is actually trackless.
“To change a move with a move, to change a move at the drop of a hat, all are high moves.
“I can’t break this move.”
“I can’t even beat Geng Qianqiu, and if he beats Geng Qianqiu in one move, I’m even less of a match.”
“With him, maybe we’ll be able to break through that Painful Change Formation?”
“It’s hard to say ……”
And Jiang Ran had already let go of that Geng Qianqiu by now.
He saw this person rubbing the head of his shoulder, looking at Jiang Ran with a face full of shock:
“Who the hell are you? What are you doing here?
“If you want to save someone, who do you want to save?
“When are you leaving? Can we join you?”
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment as he sniffed and looked around again:
“You’re the only ones here?”
“That’s right.”
Geng Qianqiu nodded:
“We are the only ones here …… The person you are looking for is not from our area? Could it be that ……”
As he said this, he suddenly frowned:
“One level further down, there is indeed another cell.
“Only, what is imprisoned there, is really poor and vicious martial arts covered generation.
“Those two people just now went to the next level of cells.
“If you …… also go there, I am only afraid that it will be difficult to come up again.
“Listen to my advice, life is a hundred years, it’s not worth it to take your own life for others.”
