Chapter 563.
Tang Yuyi tsked in admiration:
“Brother-in-law, this fist of yours is still so rigid.”
Jiang Ran turned his fist to look at it and said softly:
“These ones are a bit unusual.
“The body is hard, just like steel, this place is indeed a bit menacing, no wonder no one has been able to set foot in it for years.
“Just those few strikes presented before us just now are enough to annihilate the vast majority of experts in this world.”
“However, they’re not your match yet.”
Tang Yuyi sent her hand to Jiang Ran’s palm:
“Let’s continue onward?”
“Good.”
The word ‘good’ fell, and the footsteps that were about to be lifted suddenly lurched.
A rumbling sound was heard, and a stone door opened at the end of the cave.
The silhouette of a person gradually appeared in front of Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi’s eyes, starting from the surface of their feet.
This was a person dressed in black, wearing a half black mask.
From the figure, it could be seen that it was a woman.
In her hand, she was also holding a piccolo, and was quietly scrutinizing the two people in front of her.
Following that, she swept a glance at the wreckage in the field and said softly:
“What a powerful skill …… the two of you, and follow me.”
After saying that, he didn’t care how Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi reacted, turned around and walked towards the inside.
Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi looked at each other.
Although they were a little surprised by the sudden appearance of this woman, they didn’t look away.
Jiang Ran pulled Tang Wuyi, and in one step, he had already reached the woman’s back.
The other hand grabbed towards the woman’s shoulder:
“Miss, please stay.”
The girl’s shoulder was short, her feet slipped out, turned in a half circle, stepped forward a little more, thought she had gotten out of the ascension, but didn’t want to look up, a hand was arriving right in front of her.
Immediately in the hands of the piccolo together, want to cross the fence.
But without touching Jiang Ran’s five fingers, they already feel the strong wind like a knife, the finger if you still want, then you can not resist.
Can only retreat …… but she retreated fast, but not as fast as Jiang Ran into the fast.
Snapped, the throat has fallen into Jiang Ran’s five fingers.
All of this is complicated, in fact, but the change of the blink of an eye, Jiang Ran a move out, it has been the girl to hold.
She grabbed Jiang Ran’s wrist and struggled hard, but she couldn’t break free at all.
Jiang Ran also didn’t lay his hands on her, directly breaking her neck, but softly asked:
“Dare I ask the girl …… what her name is?”
The girl’s eyes rolled:
“When Your Excellency asked the girl’s name in the past, did you always ask by the neck?”
“Not normally.”
Jiang Ran shook his head.
The girl raised her eyebrows:
“Then how?”
Jiang Ran let go of Tang Yuyi’s hand and took out a small paper packet from his pocket.
The black-clothed girl froze, and without waiting to react, her mouth was already pinched open by Jiang Ran, and the paper packet was pressed directly into his mouth.
The girl’s pupils shrank:
“You ……”
Jiang Ran, however, ignored this and removed the wine gourd from his waist, bit it open with his teeth, pressed the girl’s head, and poured the wine into her mouth.
The paper bag meets water, immediately broke, among the powder, mixed with the wine together down the belly.
At this point, Jiang Ran Fang released the girl and said:
“In the past, when I asked the girl’s name, I usually poisoned her first …… If she didn’t say it, I wouldn’t give her the antidote.”
“……”
The girl slowly closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, the corners of her mouth also spread a cold smile:
“It’s ridiculous that you don’t know your own strength, this is the Flute Clan.”
“So what if it’s the Flute Clan?”
“The Flute Clan specializes in parasites, and a mere poison can be broken with a flick of the finger.”
Jiang Ran flexed his fingers:
“Broken yet?”
“……”
The girl’s face darkened, “Broken with a snap of a finger, it’s just an adjective, okay?
You really snapped your fingers like that, but it’s a bit outrageous ah.
But she also didn’t want to admit defeat easily, so she tried several means on her own body, however, after using all sorts of methods, she was still confused about what was going on inside her body.
She looked up at Jiang Ran after some skepticism:
“When it comes to using poison to solve poisons, there is no one in the world who is better than my flute clan.
“I’ve tried all sorts of methods, and nothing has happened.
“Then either …… the poison you used is too clever, let me exhaust all means, also can not solve.
“Either …… is that you are bluffing, I am not poisoned at all.”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“The girl can bet as much as you want, the condition is your life.”
“Life ……?”
The girl’s eyes flashed with a touch of sadness as she spoke softly:
“This life of mine, has long been dead, and now to be able to live until now, is also considered to have stolen a lot of time.
“This will be even if I die, I don’t feel that there is anything to lose.”
“I think …… you this girl ah, talk a little too serious.”
Tang Yuyi turned out from behind Jiang Ran:
“My brother-in-law just asked you a question, what’s your name?
“This question is not excessive, right?
“After all, this haunted place is this treacherous, and just now we were almost killed by the villain you arranged.
“It took a great deal of effort to settle these eight inhuman things.
“As a result, you appeared, and did not explain a word about your identity, let us go with you ……
“This who can promise is not it?
“Let’s do it like this, let’s each take a step back, you say who you are, and then tell us, where will this go? How about we just follow you?”
“You call that a step back?”
The girl raised her eyebrows, her eyes vaguely glowing with anger.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“If the girl is unwilling, I don’t mind flexing my muscles.”
“My name …….”
As she said this, a flash of confusion appeared in her eyes, followed by a soft voice:
“You guys can call me, Ah Ghost.”
Tang Yuyi froze for a moment, not moving as she took a step back behind Jiang Ran:
“Ah Ghost?
“Then tell me, where are you taking us?”
“Taking you to, the place you’re looking for.”
“You know what we’re looking for?”
“The Compulsion King has long been taken away, you guys still stay here and don’t leave, naturally, you are looking for something else, and in this Compulsion God Cave, there are only two things that people call for coveting.
“One is the Compulsion King, and the other is the patriarch’s Way of Eternal Life.”
After Ah Ghost finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Ran:
“The antidote can be given to me, right?”
“Lead the way first.”
“……”
Ah Ghost exhaled:
“Follow me.”
Jiang Ran and Tang Yingyi didn’t hesitate this time and followed behind the girl named A Ghost.
While walking, Tang Yuyi asked:
“Miss Ah Ghost, it is said that in this Compassion God Cave, no one can step foot in it except for the matriarch, why are you here?”
Ah Ghost didn’t answer.
Tang Yuyi then continued to ask:
“What happened to those eight just now? And how much space is there beyond the stone crevices, and how many parasites are held inside?”
Ah Ghost still didn’t answer.
Tang Yuyi didn’t care either, and spoke insistently:
“Do you know Tian Youfang? It’s the person who stole the Compassion King …… at that time Oh yeah, his Flute Clan name is …… Ana.”
Originally thought that A Ghost would still be silent as gold.
However, she didn’t expect that when the word ‘Ana’ was mentioned, her footsteps suddenly lurched.
Tang Yingyi subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ran, who gave her a wink.
Tang Yuyi then continued to ask:
“You know Ana?”
“Ana ……”
The A ghost girl gently shook her head:
“Deja vu …… but can’t recall where I’ve heard it before.
“Why, why always feel this familiar?”
Speaking here, she gently patted her head, as if she could make the pain in her head lessen a bit.
After a long time, she gently exhaled a breath:
“I don’t know ……
“But the Compassion God Cave is not the only place the Matriarch can enter.
“The Compassion God Priests are then stationed within this cave.
“It’s just that they never go out, so no one knows about it.
“What you have just seen is a means set up by another person to prevent people from entering here by mistake.
“Their bodies have all been soaked in medicinal water.
“Swords and spears are invulnerable, and a hundred poisons are invulnerable, it is a first-class means of defense.
“But I didn’t expect that I still couldn’t stop you guys ……”
Perhaps because she didn’t want to mention Na’ana again, she actually answered all of the two questions Tang Wuyi had raised earlier.
Tang Yuyi then laughed:
“So, what’s the relationship between Ana and you?”
“…… I don’t know.”
Ah Ghost was a bit annoyed:
“I was told to bring you guys to find that item, not for you to ask questions of me here.
“I don’t know who Ana is or what his relationship to me is.
“I have no memories of the past, so don’t give me a hard time.”
“No past memories?”
Tang Yuyi laughed:
“How about I help you? You probably don’t know yet, I can be the best at this.
“Enough to help you find, your dusty memories.”
Ah Ghost suddenly glanced back at Tang Wuyi.
Tang Wuyi blinked, looking harmless.
“Pie won’t fall from the sky.”
Ah Ghost said softly:
“What do you want?”
“Nothing, I’m a person who just likes to help people.”
“??”
Ah Ghost didn’t believe half a word of this.
Then he heard Tang Yuyi say softly:
“Look at my eyes ……”
A ghost subconsciously looked up, only to feel that these eyes seemed to hide a huge whirlpool, just one glance, the soul could not help but sink into that whirlpool.
Favorably, everything around her didn’t seem to have changed at all.
She clearly knew that she had been tricked by Tang Yuyi, but she was in no hurry at all.
Just then, she heard Tang Yuyi say softly:
“Do you know Ana?”
The voice came into her ears like divine thunder falling from the nine heavens.
It instantly revitalized Ah Ghost’s spirit.
Subconsciously said:
“Recognize ……”
“Is the relationship between you guys good?”
After this was asked, the girl then froze again and then frowned:
“Good ……”
Her eyes flickered with a look of dismay.
Confused, why did she answer good?
Was it because this woman in black, hiding her head in front of her had done something to herself?
Or was it that he was really on good terms with Ana?
But who was Ana?
A slight tingling came from underneath the skull.
There was a strange feeling.
It was as if something had erupted from the depths of his mind, some fragmented pieces.
And yet, it was impossible to put it all together.
“When did you and he meet?”
Tang Yuyi’s voice was still coming.
A ghost was confused in her mind, how could she know what to answer to such a question?
But the speed of her mouth was faster than the speed of her brain:
“Four years old ……”
Four years old?
Agwee was stunned, she had known Ana since she was four years old?
Why don’t I know myself ……
Could it be that it’s not himself who’s answering this girl today, but those lost memories?
“You grew up together?”
“Yes.”
“You …… fell in love with each other?”
Tang Yuyi asked this question in a grave tone, appearing extremely cautious.
On the other hand, A Ghost felt a sharp pain in his mind for a moment.
It was as if many fragments had traveled in front of his eyes as if they were floating lights and shadows.
There were two figures in all of these clips.
One was himself, and the other …… was blurred.
Some of them were sitting together drinking tea and talking and laughing, some of them were discussing compulsion techniques, and some of them were strolling beside a small stream in the mountains and forests ……
These fragments, some of them are when the age is still young, some of them are gradually growing up, and some of them are already adults.
But …… what that person looked like, she couldn t see clearly.
Tang Yuyi’s question was like a nail, pinning these memories to the heart.
The intense pain caused her scalp to undulate, and Jiang Ran and Tang Wuyi on the side could see that her head was pounding, as if it was going to explode at any moment.
Tang Yuyi knew she couldn’t ask any further.
Just what she had gotten today was already enough to make a guess about this girl’s identity.
But if this is a raw stop, it won’t work …… so Tang Painting Yi directly turned her words around:
“Who asked you to come and take us to that thing?”
“It was the matriarch.”
As soon as these three words were uttered, the memories that had previously been nailed to the heart disappeared cleanly in an instant.
These three words were like a cathartic outlet.
Letting them drain away as much as they could.
A ghost felt that his head did not hurt …… but his heart hurt terribly.
And yet, I don t know, why it hurts so much.
Within the cave, silence instantly fell.
Jiang Ran looked toward Tang Wuyi, and Tang Wuyi also looked toward Jiang Ran.
Between the four eyes, A Ghost let out a long breath, wiped the sweat on his head, and looked at Tang Wuyi as if he had seen a ghost:
“Shall we …… continue walking?”
“Go.”
Jiang Ran spoke softly.
Ah Ghost then continued to lead the way.
Tang Yuyi and Jiang Ran followed behind her, and they heard Tang Yuyi whisper:
“In that case, the person who lured us into the Compassion God Cave earlier was probably the matriarch …… but how did he know your identity?”
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment and said softly:
“Do you remember, Qilan?”
“Remember.”
Tang Yuyi understood Jiang Ran’s meaning.
Since the previous generation, there had been an inextricable connection between the Demon Cult and the Flute Clan.
The people of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were either clueless about the outside world.
But the Flute Clan was not.
They were able to capture Wu Di on top of the battlefield on the northern road line.
Then how could they not guess that both Wu Di and Tian Youfang were now helping Jiang Ran?
It was hard to say how much the Flute Clan Chief knew about tonight’s events.
But where he knows Wu Di’s plan, Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu side of the cooperation, then want to know that now this black masked is today’s Demon Sect master, is really more than easy a thing.
But herein lies the problem.
This Flute Clan Chief, if he knew Jiang Ran’s purpose of exploring the Compassion God Cave.
Why would he lure Jiang Ran into the Compassion God Cave?
His step-by-step approach was only deliberate.
First, he stepped out of the formation, allowing Jiang Ran to discover the second path, and then further, stepping into the hall guarded by the eight puppets.
And then letting this A Ghost girl in front of him lead the way ……
All of this was by no means accidental.
Instead, it seemed like a trial, or perhaps a test?
Then associating it with the real identity that this girl might have.
Then the story that Wu Di and Tian Youfang and the others had once told might have taken a, no one would have expected, reversal.
“This kind of case that has been done to death, could there be another inside story?”
Tang Yuyi skimmed her lips.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, smiled:
“After the fog, there will be a real chapter, let’s just respond to all changes and watch.”
Also as the person leading the way, A Ghost was obviously more dedicated than everyone else.
Letting her lead the way, she led the way professionally.
And she walked very fast, the formation cloud, under her feet as if it never existed.
However, after a few moments, the coldness that Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi had felt earlier became more and more obvious.
At this point, when they exhaled, they could see white mist.
After walking forward for less than a cup of tea again.
A rugged cave entrance appeared in front of the crowd.
There was already cold ice spreading outwards from the cave entrance.
A light blue flesh worm was wriggling on top of that ice.
Ah Ghost reminded softly:
“This is the Cold Ice Compass, you guys have to be more careful and don’t touch it.
“Otherwise it will instantly condense you all into ice, and there is no cure for the medicine.”
Jiang Ran took a look and was instantly interested:
“How is this thing practiced?”
“…… I don’t know.”
Ah Ghost said softly:
“But I do know that the Flute Clan has another compulsion similar to this, only that one is of fire.
“It’s called the Fiery Flame Compulsion.
“Cold ice and fiery flames, originally incompatible, if there is a compulsion king to neutralize it, it can be merged into one, allowing one to have the power of ghosts and gods.”
“…… Sounds like two martial arts.”
Jiang Ran stroked his chin, remembering the two deceased people who died in his hands.
Just looking at the posture of this Cold Ice Compulsion, the power was probably far above those two.
Then he casually asked:
“And where is the Flame Compulsion?”
“…… That is the matriarch’s original life compulsion.”
Passing through the hole, in front of him was the world of cold ice.
Jiang Ran had long been invulnerable to cold and heat, and Tang Yuyi’s internal strength was profound, so she didn’t put the cold in her eyes.
On the contrary, it was A Ghost who froze with a squeaky voice.
She stretched out her fingers and said:
“The thing you’re looking for is right there ……”
Jiang Ran looked in the direction of her finger.
Before he saw the matriarch’s method of longevity, he saw a bed first.
There was also a person lying on the bed.
It was just that this person had been covered in ice, and only after walking to the front did he see that it was a beautiful woman.
Her appearance was stunning, not even below Tang Shixiang.
But now her eyes were closed tightly, seemingly dead.
In her palm, she held a roll of gold paper.
From the part that leaked out, one could see two big words in the front.
It was the word ‘Eternal Life’!
