Chapter 98.

The rumors in Penumbra County were not overly exaggerated.

After two days, it pretty much petered out.

And during these two days, Jiang Ran always stayed on Master Ma’s side.

Ghost 13 had finally decided to join forces with Li Tianxin Jiang Ran after these few days of thinking.

Only, nowadays, it has some nothing to do but stay in the room every day and wait for the right moment.

Master Ma’s investigation into the news of the man who met with Old Drunkard that day had not made much progress.

Not only him, but even Changnian, had not been able to find out any clues.

This made Jiang Ran feel a little strange.

Judging from that person’s features, if someone had met him, they shouldn’t be without the slightest impression.

However, with Master Ma’s and Chang Nian’s ability in the black and white world, they were hard pressed to find any trace of him, so either there was no such a person at all.

Either that, or this person’s ability is much greater than imagined.

However, although the investigation of this person does not have half a bit of news, but the left road Zhuang let perennial investigation of another thing, but smooth some extraordinary.

This is even more puzzling.

To know, after twenty years, the so-called clues, but also just a swordsman with a child hit this Penma County passing.

Borrowing human milk and feeding the child.

Up to twenty years of years, this little thing, and which direction to check?

But in the end, there was already news.

After two days, Changnian had already found out that this family had moved out of Penma County three months ago.

Now it was settling ten miles outside of Penma County, in a place called ‘Ask the Fragrant Forest’.

“The traces are too obvious.”

Inside the county office, in the middle of Chang Nian’s room, Jiang Ran said thoughtfully:

“However, Lord Chang, if you were in your position, whether the traces are obvious or not, and whether or not there is a possibility that someone is plotting behind the scenes, you actually don’t care, right?”

Chang Nian smiled:

“Exactly, not only will I not care, I will also make a rather difficult position.

“Hold off for another two days before informing the other party of this matter.

“Lest they find out that this matter was investigated so easily.”

“In that case, it seems that the reason why the person behind this dared to be so bold as to drop clues is that he has calculated your lordship’s state of mind.

“Only, he has likewise counted on the fact that the people from the Left Dao Zhuang will come ……”

Jiang Ran sighed softly:

“What’s more, he deliberately leaked out his whereabouts.”

The person scheming behind this is the old drunkard, right?

What exactly is the purpose of his move?

Was it simply to try and deal with the Left Road Village?

This isn’t right …… twenty years ago he was able to penetrate the entire Left Path Manor and snatch away the Autumn Moon Cicada Molts with his own strength.

If he wanted to deal with them, why would he have to go through all this trouble?

Otherwise, could it be that he had undergone some changes during these twenty years? His martial arts skills are not as good as they used to be?

So they have not seen for twenty years, he is so deep?

But if this is the case, why would he disclose the traces, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, the intention of this move does not make sense ah.

After calculating the old drunkard’s intention in his heart for a while, he found that how this old thing thinks, with the situation he knows now, it is really speculative.

Solely no longer think.

Instead, he inquired with Chang Nian about another matter.

“Does Lord Chang know if there are any sinister places near Penma County?”

“Dangerous places?”

Chang Nian said after thinking carefully for a moment:

“There is not no …… Penma County to the north, about less than twenty miles away, there is a valley.

“Within the valley there is perennial miasma filled, mistakenly entering it regardless of people and animals, will fall to the ground, and finally died inside.

“That place is called ‘The Valley of the Living Dead’ by the locals, and it is very unsettling.

“In addition to that, there are several villages left behind after the military disaster back then.

“This will also only be left in ruins, I heard that there are a lot of people who mistakenly enter late at night, are trapped inside, as if there is a ghost to beat the wall ……

“But whether this is true or not, it’s hard to say, let’s just say, let’s hear it.

“One more place is the ‘Yinlong Slope’.

“That place is often disappeared things happen, obviously just a slope, a glance can see the head, but the people who play that through, say no.

“The last magistrate once went to investigate personally, what exactly he found, he did not make a case file, this official also do not know.

“But after that, Gin Long Po was forbidden to set foot on it.

“If you want to talk about sinister places, it’s probably these three.”

Jiang Ran was a bit surprised to hear this, thinking that this Prancing Horse County wasn’t big, but there were crises everywhere.

He nodded his head after a slight contemplation:

“Many thanks to Lord Chang, En, about the matter of asking about the Fragrant Forest, your honor should press on for now, and not go into detail with the Left Road Zhuang side.

“But in two more days at most, I will give Your Excellency an explanation.”

“Good.”

Chang Nian nodded, “Then I will trouble Young Scholar Jiang.”

“Your Excellency is polite.”

Jiang Ran stood up and cupped his fists in farewell.

In the two days thereafter, Jiang Ran didn’t continue to enjoy himself at Master Ma’s place.

He ran around for two days in a row, both leaving early and returning late.

Li Tianxin and Ghost 13 just watched him go in and out every day, but they didn’t know what he was busy with.

When they asked him, he said that the time hadn’t come.

The two of them wanted to join hands to hold him there and torture him to make him confess.

The only thing they were worried about was that they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to beat him and then let Jiang Ran clean him up.

These two days were another snap of the fingers.

On the morning of the third day, in the inn, Liu Wenshan, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes.

At this moment, quite a few people had already converged within the inn.

Tong Wanli’s group of friends had already arrived.

After Liu Wenshan woke up, he first thanked Tong Wanli profusely, and then hugged the bright moon and cried bitterly.

After eating and drinking some food, Tong Wanli began to ask about the whereabouts of the Jiaowei Qin.

He said that the Jiao Weiqin has become a target for everyone, and that if he can’t find it, he won’t be able to rest for a day.

Liu Wenshan agonized for a long time before he let out a long sigh and gave a reply:

“I will take you there.”

Ye Jingfang’s heart tightened as she listened, and she had the intention to send a message to Jiang Ran.

Nay, she had been in the inn ever since she came to this Prancing Horse County and hadn’t been to any other place.

If she wanted to find Jiang Ran, she didn’t even know where he was now.

Then she could only get down to earth.

After all, Jiang Ran had taken himself out of the open just to act in the dark.

It was expected that he would be clear about the situation within the inn.

He then followed the crowd to pack their clothes, and found a soft sedan chair to carry Liu Wenshan out of the door.

After leaving the house, they traveled north.

While walking, Liu Wenshan said:

“The location of the Jiao Tail Qin is relatively dangerous, among the people traveling with Brother Tong, are there any who are proficient in medical skills?”

“There are.”

Tong Wanli nodded:

“Brother Liu don’t worry that’s it, the experts that we have gathered here nowadays, looking at the world, there is nowhere that can’t be explored.”

After Ye Jingshuang heard this, her gaze also turned around on the bodies of these people around her.

The ones gathered around today, plus her, Tong Wanli, Tong Yan Zhouwang, and Liu Wenshan …… were a total of thirteen people.

This number of people was actually not too many.

And surprisingly, Ye Shockfrost had never heard of any of these people.

Asked Tong Wanli, Tong Wanli said with a smile, these people are some not out of the jianghu masters.

In the jianghu fame is not big, he is also accidental party with the relationship.

Ye Jingshang do not recognize, is really common sense.

Ye Jingshuang still want to ask, Tong Wanli but already do not want to say again.

Coupled with the fact that there is also a Tong Yan …… following behind him, there is no opportunity to ask again.

Tong Yan after this period of time to recuperate, has basically recovered.

Every day, he followed Ye Jingshuang’s back.

A mouthful of a world sister, comforting her not to be sad because of the rumors of the outside world.

The tone of her voice was so sincere that people were moved.

If Ye Jingshang didn’t already understand the reality here, she would really be moved by this.

But now, she only wanted to draw her sword and kill.

Especially now that she heard Tong Yan call her Shi Mei, she felt an indescribable nausea and discomfort.

Forcibly resisting, she told herself that a little impatience would lead to a big plan.

Only then did she barely make a move.

A group of people walking and stopping, not long effort, already out of more than ten miles.

Liu Wenshan pointed out the path along the way, sometimes stopping, sometimes traveling again.

After walking out a few more miles, the crowd already felt the ground under their feet, gradually spreading downward.

Surrounded by the shadow of the emergence of a few mist.

As the footsteps deepen, this fog is also more and more dense.

Gradually into the state of not being able to see the fingers.

“What is this place?”

Tong Wanli couldn’t help but frown as he looked at the heavy mists.

“This is the Past Life Valley.”

Liu Wenshan said softly:

“This place is shrouded in mists, and further on there is even miasma all over the place, it’s treacherous.

“Back then, I and …… Ye Konggu hid the scorched tail qin here, and with this heavenly danger blocking the way, it can keep the scorched tail free from worry.”

Tong Wanli thought carefully and nodded:

“It is indeed a good place.”

“The place is good.”

Liu Wenshan smiled:

“It’s just that this place is too treacherous, so all of you should be careful.”

Between his words, he shouted again:

“Shocking Frost.”

“Auntie.”

Ye Wenshuang hurriedly came to the front.

Liu Wenshan smiled and said:

“Shocking Frost, you’ll follow me.”

“Good.”

Ye Jingshuang nodded, “I will definitely protect auntie.”

“Good boy. ……”

Before the words were finished, Tong Yan also came up:

“I will also protect aunt …… Uncle Liu well.”

Liu Wenshan glanced at him and nodded with a smile.

This move seemed to have given Tong Yan great encouragement, and for a moment his spirits were lifted.

Tong Wanli, on the other hand, frowned, always feeling as if something wasn’t quite right.

But for a moment, he couldn’t figure it out.

Immediately, he had someone distribute some antidote medicines, and then continued to walk inside.

The so-called miasma was actually not mysterious.

Apart from some specific illnesses, the poisonous gas that coalesced after the decay of the dead leaves of the animals and trees in the mountains and forests was the so-called miasma.

The crowd took the antidote pills and continued to walk forward.

Ye Alarming Frost originally wanted to take the antidote pill given by Tong Wanli as well, but Liu Wenshan tugged on her sleeve and stuffed another pill in her hand.

This caused Ye Alarming Frost’s pupils to contract violently.

Liu Wenshan did not allow himself to take Tong Wanli s medicine …… Does this mean that Liu Wenshan does not trust Tong Wanli!

Thinking of this, her brain had begun to gradually come alive.

But here and now can not allow her to do more thoughts, secretly that antidote Dan stuffed into the mouth, then continue to rush.

Suddenly, Tong Wanli softly shouted:

“Stop!”

The crowd stopped at the sound, while Tong Wanli frowned: “Did you hear any sounds nearby?”

The group of people looked at me and I looked at you, and then they heard one of the people in the entourage laugh softly and speak:

“Old Tong, this realm is certainly treacherous, you’re so suspicious, it’s even more appalling.

“People scare people to death, you must not bluff.”

Tong Wanli was silent for a moment and reached out to point:

“Look guys, is there a shadow over there?”

The mist in this place was a bit better than the outside, although it was not highly visible, the people standing around it were not so bad that they could not see it clearly.

The crowd went to look with the direction of Tong Wanli’s finger.

For a moment they were all a little creeped out.

See a figure of two feet, upright posture is standing in front of a tree.

Shadows and shadows couldn’t really be seen, but it really seemed to be a person with a sturdy figure.

It was just that the location of this person was not too far away from them.

But they walked here, surprisingly, all of them did not have the slightest awareness of this.

Once this person made a sneak attack …… on them, how many people would be able to resist?

Thinking about this, between the people looking at each other, they heard one person coldly snort:

“A generation that pretends to be a god, how dare you go wild in front of me!?”

As his words fell, his figure swiftly left.

It was like a floating shadow in the forest, like a mist in the darkness, but in a single movement, he had already arrived in front of the figure.

None of the people present drank to stop this person’s behavior.

As a result, after that person arrived in front of him, he let out an ‘eek’.

Immediately afterward, he even returned with that huge figure.

In this moment, all the people present raised their hearts and minds, fearing that this mysterious person had restrained his own side’s companion, and was being questioned by others at the door.

But to wait for these two shadows to the front, the crowd only then see clearly.

Where is that what stout person?

It was simply a bear that was rotting!

The crowd looked at each other for a moment.

This bear died here, but it is unusual …… After all, there is a poisonous miasma around.

But the question is, how did it die like a person?

Tong Wanli endured the stench emanating from this bear, came to the front to take a closer look, and suddenly his pupils contracted violently:

“No! It was not victimized by this miasma, it was killed by someone!

“And, just between these two days.

“You guys look at its throat!”

The crowd immediately went to look at it when they heard this, and sure enough, they saw a thin mark right above this bear’s throat.

“Is it a sword mark?”

If it was a sword, it was mostly a penetration.

The sword was the main stabber, it was the blade that was the main chopper.

The sword body was slender, and if it was used for chopping, it would most likely damage the sword body.

Especially this bear, with its thick skin, I’m afraid that no one would be willing to use a sword to chop its neck like this.

And when this thought flooded his mind, the uneasiness in Tong Wanli’s heart had already reached the extreme.

“There’s someone here!”

The moment this four-word thought flooded his heart, he heard brushes and brushes, successive footsteps swiftly arriving.

At the same time, a whistling sound was emitted from the air.

It was as if something huge was coming through the void.

A voice was heard shouting:

“There are uninvited guests, 80% of them are also here for that thing!!!”

Tong Wanli’s sweaty hairs stood up when he heard this, and the first thought that flooded his mind was …… they are here to rob the burnt tail qin!

But the problem was that his side had gotten the news from Liu Wenshan’s mouth.

How would these people know that the Jiao Tail Qin was hidden here?

Without waiting for him to react, he heard a dull sound of breaking air, and when he looked up to see, he saw a golden tripod pressurizing the air and smashing down fiercely.

Tong Wanli froze:

“Golden Three Tripods?”

However, at this moment, there was no time to think much of other thoughts.

The two palms came together, the Thousand Changes Heavenly Law Palm was abruptly sent out, and a muffled boom was heard.

That golden cauldron trembled, and the wolfish howls and ghostly screams of the Golden Three Cauldrons came from within.

Tong Wanli is also a heavy face, Jin Sanding’s martial arts thief to death, itself internal force is strong, but also added the weight of a tripod.

Reaching out and catching it is really a move of no choice.

At this time by this huge force, although the feet do not move, the whole person was pushed by this huge force, can not stop backward.

The surrounding sides were vibrated by this internal force, a moment of shock and explosion of sound endlessly.

At the same time, around a group of people dressed in strange shapes and sizes also have rushed forward, without saying, directly out of the killer.

Tong Yan and Zhou Wang looked at each other in disbelief, not knowing exactly what had happened.

Ye Qingshuang, on the other hand, was holding a long sword, protecting Liu Wenshan’s front.

The remaining few people then glanced at each other and then laughed:

“A bunch of things that don’t know how to die!!!”

Immediately, they all jumped up and killed into the crowd.

The martial arts skills of this group of people, each one of them was not below Tong Wanli.

Wherever they passed, there was hardly a single enemy.

These people brought by Jin Sanding, but in the blink of an eye, more than half of them were already dead or injured.

Ye Shockfang’s face changed greatly as he watched.

Where did Tong Wanli find this many experts?

When she didn’t pay attention, a figure touched her side at an unknown time.

By the time she realized something, her shoulder had already been clasped by someone.

As soon as her heart tightened, she felt that her entire body was already in the clouds.

Tong Yan and Zhou Wang realized that something was wrong and hurriedly turned around to see that Ye Jingshuang and Liu Wenshan were nowhere to be found.

Ye Jingshuang only felt the surrounding shade change, to wait for the figure to settle, but stopped on a rock not far away.

From a distance, the mist can be seen in the shadow of the rolling fight.

But the specific can not see clearly.

Her shoulders shook, her internal energy turned, wanting to break free from the clamp.

But without waiting for her internal energy to open that person’s palm, that person had already released his hand first.

“The situation of sandpiper and clam has been finalized, the next step is for the fisherman to reap the benefits.”

Liu Wenshan’s voice entered Ye Jingshuang’s ears at this moment.

It caused Ye Jingshuang to widen her eyes.

Snipe and clam?

Could it be that ……

The next moment she heard a voice familiar to the bone laugh:

“This is thanks to senior’s help.

“Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been as simple as this to lure them all here.”

“…… Big Brother Jiang?”

Ye Shockfang twisted his head to look.

As a result, he saw a young man who was dressed in a flowery outfit, dressed in such a way that he could barely see his original appearance, was carrying a wine gourd and tilting his neck to pour it into his mouth.

Hearing Ye Shingfang’s voice, he turned back to look at the girl and smiled as he presented his own wine gourd:

“Have a sip?”
