Chapter 85.
It was night.
Jiang Ran changed into a set of night clothes and glanced at the portrait in his hand by candlelight.
Mingyue was still modest.
Her art of painting was not something she knew a little about, and she had painted Liu Wenshan’s facial features vividly.
But the most important thing about this portrait was to give Jiang Ran a comparison, lest he return with someone completely unrelated at that time.
Pushing open the window, Jiang Ran flew up to the room.
Just before taking two steps, he saw a swordsman dressed in black, holding a single sword, standing there.
The moon was cold tonight, but it couldn’t withstand his eyes.
“It sells really well ……”
Jiang Ran looked at Li Tianxin, and it was easy to let out this kind of emotion.
His temperament was cold and cold, and at first glance, he was a lonely swordsman.
Just this temperament alone would make people wonder if this person was the number one swordsman in the world, where could one think that every time he appeared, he was in such a sorry state.
“It’s just a sellout?”
Li Tianxin was a little unconvinced by this statement.
“Not important.”
Jiang Ran smiled, “You’re going too?”
“If I’m practicing chivalry, how can I let you specialize in beauty?”
Li Tianxin glanced at Jiang Ran:
“And how old is the other girl? You’re giving out favors like this, in case you incur this peach blossom, if you want to get rid of it in the future, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to do so.
“Having me to help share the load will save you a lot of trouble.”
“It’s none of your business ……”
Jiang Ran didn’t hold back and rolled his eyes.
“Good intentions as a donkey’s liver and lungs.”
Li Tianxin hummed, “If you don’t need it, I’ll go back here.”
“Be my guest.”
“You really do still have thoughts about other girls.”
“Are you an animal? How old is that child!?”
“At the age of maturity, it’s time to talk about marriage.”
“……”
This is not a generation gap, this is a chasm ah!
Jiang Ran was too lazy to say more to him, “Come if you want to come, go back to sleep if you don’t, I’ll go first.”
With a little bit of his foot, the person had already flown away.
Li Tianxin looked at Jiang Ran’s back, her brows knitted slightly, she hummed softly, and without much hesitation, she followed behind him.
The Mighty Tiger Mountain was only twenty miles away from this place, and the outline of the Mighty Tiger Mountain could be seen from afar when one spoke of Penma County.
Hiddenly, it seems to be a fierce tiger, whistling between heaven and earth.
With Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin’s footsteps, this distance is not a problem, not much effort has arrived.
Stepping into the mountain, looking for the Tiger Leaping Stream was a bit difficult.
Although Mingyue had already explained the path as clearly as possible, but people in the mountains have too few references, it is still easy to lose the path if you are not careful.
After circling around for half an hour, he came to a mountain stream.
There is no tiger in this mountain stream, and the name Tiger’s Leap echoes the name of the mountain.
Close to this place, Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin will slow down the pace, surrounded by already visible signs of people.
Further ahead, there is a hidden fire.
However, along with the firelight, there is also the sound of breaking wind.
“Someone is fighting?”
Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin exchanged glances, their feet became more and more careful, and a little further, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up.
They saw that between a mountain stream, two silhouettes were entangled.
Internal force stirred, hit the surrounding grass and trees flying, splashing water.
Suddenly, the two people who were fighting suddenly flew out two palms at the same time, the four palms touched, and immediately issued a loud boom.
The two silhouettes backed up at the same time, a man dressed in black, wearing an iron mask on his face, floating down on top of a boulder.
Another small old man with a gloomy face, who looked to be in his fifties, flew on the banks of the water stream.
As soon as the two men’s gazes touched, they heard that little old man let out a strange laugh:
“The Jade-faced Kirin from many years ago, his methods were never honorable.
“Just this many years of absence, even played a sneaky trick?”
“Where in the world is the Jade-faced Unicorn?”
The voice of the man with the iron mask rippled:
“Since the day my face was torn off by you, there is only one Ghost 13 left in this world.”
Ghost 13?
Jiang Ran’s brows furrowed slightly, the short black-robed man who once followed Dao Zhen around was called Ghost Seven by Dao Zhen.
This one in front of him was Ghost 13?
He was from the Heartless Ghost Mansion?
Then this little old man, I’m afraid that he also has nothing to do with Dao Zhen and the rest of them.
Between the turning of his mind, he heard that little old man’s laughter filled with complacency ring out:
“That’s right, that’s right, when you said this, old me remembered.
“This is one of the most proud things in the old man’s life …… You rely on a long set of good skin to leave love everywhere.
“I in order to less let you add a few more affair debt, this is to help.
“Aiya, now it seems that you are a dog biting Lü Dongbin and don’t know good hearts. I saved you from the peach blossom robbery, your tone is now full of resentment, what is this reasoning?”
“Nonsense, I have always been clean, how can I allow you to slander like this? You …… are really looking for death!!!”
Ghost 13’s eyes under the iron mask were suddenly filled with a stern color.
The figure of a roll, airborne and arrived, two palms flying out, in an instant the sky of the palm shadow enveloped the small old man’s body everywhere.
The little old man is not afraid, happily pounced up, hands as if wearing flowers, fingers and palms harsh end, once again after the exchange of hands in the four fields of vibration.
Li Tianxin eyes walked around the body of these two people, said in a low voice:
“This one wearing an iron mask is the Jade-faced Kirin?”
“You know this person?”
Jiang Ran glanced at him.
“You don’t know?”
Li Tianxin was surprised at Jiang Ran’s ignorance:
“This person used to be famous ten years ago because of his handsome appearance, high martial arts skills, and his bright and upright behavior, and he has always had a chivalrous heart,” he said.
“As a result, he charmed the hearts of many women.
“There is even a legend, when many famous female warriors, have had entanglements with them.
“But then suddenly disappeared into obscurity …… Some people say he was hurt by love, anorexia seclusion.
“There are also people who say that he suffered from the burden of women, has died horizontally in the rivers and lakes.
“But I didn’t expect that it would turn out to be the way it is now.”
Jiang Ran pondered:
“Can you tell where that little old man came from?”
Li Tianxin shook his head:
“That I can’t tell.
“But his martial arts are far above that Jade-faced Kirin, so he’s not a nobody.”
Jiang Ran nodded.
Although the current scene was scorching, it looked like it was hard to tell the winner from the loser.
However, the martial arts that this little old man had performed so far were some unusual routines.
He had not used any of his own martial arts, so it was evident that he was still hiding a winning hand and had not yet shown his true ability.
Jiang Ran’s mind drifted, his gaze crossing over these two people, looking towards a cave on the side of a mountain stream.
He was about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly his brows furrowed slightly:
“Someone is coming again ……”
That little old man seemed to be aware of this as well, and the originally light force suddenly increased to force back the Jade-faced Qilin.
Raising his head again, he saw palm shadows turning over the sky, as if it was a heavenly net, completely enveloping it.
“Thousand Changes Heavenly Law Palm!!!”
The little old man’s face sank, his hands split and closed, changing three times in succession, before he violently explored his palm.
With a muffled bang, where the two hands met, a huge internal energy suddenly swept through the eight directions.
Just then, he heard the little old man angrily shouting:
“Tong Wanli, you sneak attacked!?”
Jiang Ran’s heart stirred, the person who came was actually Tong Wanli?
Immediately, he looked towards where Tong Wanli was coming from.
Sure enough, there were footsteps behind him.
Not a moment later, the visitor showed his true face.
The first is a woman, all plain clothes holding a long sword, eyes as cold as moonlight.
It was Ye Shocking Frost.
And at her side were two young men.
One was covered in red, and the other was dressed in black.
As they raised their heads to look up at the changes in the field, they were still whispering something to Ye Shingfang.
Ye Jingshuang’s brows were heavy and she did not respond.
Jiang Ran first smiled when he saw this, it was good to reunite old friends, but the most crucial thing was that his own Life Renewal Pill’s medicinal guide had grown legs and ran back.
But soon he frowned again.
Tong Wanli and Ye Shocking Frost they were returning to the Red Maple Leaf family, how could they come here so quickly?
Was it because they knew that something had happened on Liu Wenshan’s side?
Or had they already investigated any clues?
While Jiang Ran was thinking about this, another change occurred in the field.
Tong Wanli appeared, a hand of a thousand variations of heavenly palm is really endless changes, two palms cover all directions, not only that little old man in his palm range, ghost thirteen also failed to get away alone.
Two people fight in the blink of an eye, it turned into a three-person tussle.
The little old man on the child Wanli is cursing, the child Wanli is a stuffy head stuffy brain, do not say anything, see people on the nature of the fight.
Let the opposite side of the scolding foam, he did not say a word, just raised his hands to fight non-stop.
Ghost thirteen martial arts than they are slightly weaker than a chip, in the cracks to survive.
From time to time with Tong Wanli wildly beat the little old man, but also in the case of necessity, and the little old man at the same time to face the palm in the sky Luo.
For a while it was also a difficult one.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran said softly:
“I’ll go explore, you be careful yourself.”
“En……”
Li Tianxin nodded, and then he saw Jiang Ran’s feet turn in the Tianqian Nine Steps, his figure dragging the remnants of shadows and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
He moved lightly, specializing in the dark and shadowy places, but in a few steps, he had already reached the cave on the side of the mountain stream.
Through the light of the fire, can see the ground lying on the several corpses are greenish-black, obviously was poisoned and died.
Another glance at the mountain stream before the fight a few people, while they did not realize, is a little foot, light turned into the cave.
This cave is quiet and humid, the flame burning is also quite choking.
The ground can be seen everywhere there are animal bone remnants, obviously this period of time, this group of people are in this cave within the temporary residence.
Just that little old man said, ghost thirteen now means despicable, presumably by him to find the door, secretly poisoned pit killed this group of people.
The little old man has not been poisoned, this is with the ghost thirteen fought.
The heart calculates this kind of idea, the ears move, will walk towards a place.
This cave is not big, not too far, under the firelight, already saw a person was bound hands, thrown in the middle of the cave.
Shadows of the firelight illuminated the appearance of this person, it is Liu Wenshan!
Just this will be his eyes closed tightly, although there is breathing but rather weak.
However, seeing that he was still alive, Jiang Ran was still relieved.
In the afternoon, he had already taken over the task of catching the knife.
If this person is already dead, this task will not be completed.
However, it was expected that the system would not release tasks that were absolutely impossible for the host to complete.
If Liu Wenshan had already died before this, then this mission might not even be triggered.
Thinking of this, he was about to go over to save the people when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him.
Subconsciously, he hid his figure in the shadows of the corner.
Within moments, there were three figures coming.
At the same time, one person was heard speaking:
“Sister Shiyi keep an eye on your feet, this cave hides dirt, I’ve already said that letting the two of us come in is just that, why do you need to follow this trip?”
The one who spoke was the young man wearing a red suit who was following Ye Jingfang around.
Ye Shocking Frost, on the other hand, frowned slightly:
“World brother is overstated, the matter is about my aunt’s life and death, how can there be a reason to pretend to be someone else?”
“Ah …… also right, also right.”
That red-robed youth gave a dry laugh:
“It’s me who didn’t think it through well, en, the front should be here.”
Jiang Ran couldn’t help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn’t rush to show himself.
It wasn’t that he intended to hide, wanting to give a surprise.
It’s just that now that this cave is divided into enemy camps, and he is all dressed in black and masked, before they save the people, showing up rashly might cause some misunderstandings.
Waiting for them to find Liu Wenshan, he then appeared to say the purpose, should be able to some good.
Thinking in this way, these few people then passed by their own heels.
These three people went further, and indeed, they had already seen Liu Wenshan.
Then they heard that red-clothed youth say:
“Shimei, do you see that person is your aunt?”
“Aunt left home for other reasons back then, and I have only seen my aunt’s father on one side since I was a child …… Nowadays it is not very good to distinguish.”
Ye Shocking Frost said:
“However, since he is trapped here, when there will be no other possibility.
“Let’s save the people first ……”
“Good.”
The red-clothed youth nodded immediately, “Let me do it.”
As the words fell, he stepped forward.
Ye Shockfang and the black-clothed youth also followed closely behind.
Jiang Ran hugged his arms and followed quietly, watching that red-clothed youth help Liu Wenshan up, and was pondering that it was almost time to show up when he heard a whirring sound.
Two chains rise out of thin air, like a python in the mountains, unfolding in the air, straight to the red-clothed youth and Ye Qingshuang.
This sudden change, not to mention the young man in red and Ye Qingshuang did not have the slightest awareness of this, even if Jiang Ran’s internal strength is deep, to this person hiding in the side, but also did not have a half notice.
Until this chain came to the back of the two people, the red-clothed youth and Ye Jingshuang only reacted.
The young man in red shook his hands, turned around in the middle of nowhere, and slapped out two palms one after another.
The palm force hit on top of the chain, but it only made the chain slightly lurch, followed by a sweep that landed on his chest.
This hit was quite miserable, that youth violently sprayed a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew out.
On the other end, Ye Shockfang abruptly unsheathed his long sword in his palm.
The blade of the sword was crossed, barely protecting his chest, and he heard a ding sound.
The blade and the chain touched, and immediately hit a succession of sparks, her feet did not move her body shape but horizontally withdrew to more than a zhang.
The blade of the sword buzzed and trembled endlessly, the tiger’s mouth crumbled, and blood dripped onto the ground.
“Tong Yan!”
The black-clothed youth was taken aback and didn’t bother with Ye Shockfang, subconsciously pouncing on the red-clothed youth.
At the same time, the two chains did not close at the touch, the black shadow turned and attacked again.
The black-clothed youth angrily shouted, between the internal breath running, probe hand to grab, but do not want to this chain is like a snake, instantly bypassed his grasp, directly will be wrapped around the whole person.
Ye shock cream face sullen, now she is the old force has been exhausted, the new force is not born at the moment, the chain hit a moment is not running, can only be forced to retreat.
But do not want to, a step out, shoulder is a tight.
Followed by involuntarily moved to the other side, a turn around, see a waist hanging knife of the man in black, his five fingers into a hook, abruptly a probe.
That seems to be like a spiritual snake general chain, one after another changes the orientation, but still can not get out of this grab cage range, was its a hand in the palm, heard his mouth softly shouted:
“Come out!”
