A leisurely whistle suddenly sounded from a ruined temple halfway up the mountain.
Like a dragon roaring in the vast marsh, like a tiger roaring in the empty valley.
As soon as it started, the heavy rain in the sky seemed to have stopped slightly.
Its sound even spread to a radius of more than ten miles, and it would take enough tea to stop.
When the roar subsided, a figure flew out of the temple.
Before arriving at a stone tablet with the three characters "Mountain Temple" engraved on it.
They were about ten feet apart, and this man sent them away with one palm of his hand.
Then a loud noise was heard, and the stone tablet exploded with a palm strike from the air, causing rubble to fly everywhere.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, revealing the true appearance of the figure, who was actually a handsome young man.
At this time, he looked at his palm steadily, with a look of astonishment on his face, and murmured to himself:
"The inner strength of this armor is so powerful?"
Thinking of this, his heart moved.
A translucent panel appeared in front of him.
【Knife catcher system】
[Host: Jiang Ran]
[Target of arrest: Tie Yanzi Zhou Chang]
[Apprehension progress: Completed]
[Reward: One Jiazi internal strength (received)]
[Nine Deaths: Repairing...]
[Remaining life span: one year and twenty-nine days!]
"One year and twenty-nine days..."
Jiang Ran looked at this line of text and was not disappointed at all. Instead, he burst into low laughter.
The laughter was small at first, then became louder, and finally it was full of joy!
“This is God’s eternal destiny!!”
After a long time, Jiang Ran took a deep breath, stopped laughing, and his eyes flickered.
Turn around and step into the ruined temple again.
He came to the fire and sat down. Next to the fire were a baggage and a black sheathed sword.
He put the knife aside, took out a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper from the bag, skewered it on wooden sticks, and put it on the fire to warm.
But in my heart, I was thinking about the nine deaths recorded in the medical books.
Narrow death is an incurable disease.
This disease does not originate from the twelve regular meridians or the eight extraordinary meridians.
The root cause is that people with this disease have nine more hidden veins than ordinary people.
The disease is strange, not so much a disease as a physical constitution that is different from ordinary people.
There is a saying in medical scriptures: A person who has suffered nine deaths and has no pulse is like a funnel in his body, with vitality flowing freely and no medicine can save him.
Therefore, although there are not many people with this constitution since ancient times, none of them can live beyond the age of twenty.
And Jiang Ran is exactly twenty years old this year...
Ever since I traveled to this world twenty years ago and was brought home by that slovenly old drunkard.
In the past twenty years, nine deaths have been a knife hanging over his head.
He watched helplessly as the knife fell bit by bit, but there was nothing he could do.
It seems that since the day he traveled through time, his life has come to an end.
The old drunkard worked hard for this, and Jiang Ran himself was also tortured.
But all in vain.
When he awakened to this system, there was only one month left before his deadline!
"If the old drunkard hadn't suddenly sent a message asking me to go to Cangzhou Mansion to rescue him.
"If I didn't have enough money, I would have no choice but to catch the thief in exchange for some money.
"I'm afraid that even until I die, I won't know that there is still a system in my body...
"It's true that misfortune and blessing depend on it."
Jiang Ran let out a breath and looked a little weird.
After all, he really didn’t expect that the activation condition of this system was to reveal the list!
Moreover, he only completed one mission.
As a result, he not only received a reward of a dozen internal strength.
Even this incurable nine-death condition can be repaired by this method.
"Doesn't this mean that as long as I continue to capture those wanted criminals, I can even...can completely cure this nine-death situation?"
Thinking of this, my heart felt hot.
And it is not difficult to do this.
In today's world, there is not much else but sea arrest notices and wanted criminals.
Although the Jin Chan Dynasty was not a time of great chaos, it was not a time of peace and prosperity either.
Especially since the thirteenth year of Tianzong, the ten-year chaos of the Five Kingdoms ended, and the national power of the Jin Chan Dynasty declined, the world became more and more unfriendly to ordinary people.
The imperial court was weak, and disputes broke out everywhere.
There are many gangs in the market, and armed fights occur from time to time.
Every time there is a chaotic battle, a lot of corpses will be thrown away.
There are even masters who rely on their martial arts skills to run rampant in the world, doing evil and treating human life as nothing.
If the government is unable to capture the thief, it will issue a wanted document to capture the thief at sea and ask experts in the world to catch him on his behalf.
The sword catchers in the world of martial arts refer to people who make a living by offering rewards.
Judging from the name of his system, it also targets this item.
"In other words, this whole river and lake is full of good medicine that can save my life!!"
He gently clenched his fists, calmed his mind, and resisted the urge to rush into the county town immediately and reveal the notice.
Whenever there is a moment of calm in a major event, it cannot be accomplished overnight.
Now that my life has been extended by one year, I can take my time to make plans for it.
Don't make the mistake of being too hasty.
Thinking of this, he let out a breath and took off his soaked clothes, intending to use the fire to dry them.
Although it is written in martial arts novels that martial arts masters can dry clothes through internal force.
The reason why Jiang Ran didn't do this was simple...because he didn't know how to do it.
Just when he was about to find some logs to hang clothes on, he suddenly heard a burst of wind.
Jiang Ran was slightly stunned. In this kind of weather, there are still people walking outside?
And listening to this movement, it seems that they are coming straight here.
Sure enough, in just a moment, the visitor had already arrived in front of the ruined temple.
While Jiang Ran was using wooden sticks to set up a crossbar, he looked back and saw a woman with a cold face stepping into the ruined temple.
When their eyes met, Jiang Ran was slightly startled.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t sleep at night and the person running around in the mountains was a woman.
The woman stared at the shirtless Jiang Ran, her cold eyes suddenly widened.
Jiang Ran wasn't afraid of looking at him. He was just shirtless and still had his pants on.
I just looked at this uninvited guest silently...
She is not that old, so she should be about the same age as me.
He has delicate appearance, pale face, and looks a little downcast.
There were injuries on his body, in more than one place, and his plain white dress was stained with blood, which was melted away by the rain, leaving his whole body a faint red color.
That pale complexion also comes from this.
She has a sword in her hand, and the sword's light has already been drawn out of its sheath. The cold light is bright and unremarkable.
It's many times better than Jiang Ran's single sword that he bought from the blacksmith shop for twenty taels of silver.
No matter how you look at it, this seems to be a heroine who is walking around the world and has just experienced a lot of fighting.
It's just that this moment seems to be dumbfounded.
Jiang Ran was a little puzzled, is he so beautiful?
After taking a look at the sword in her hand, I felt that I should remind her.
Then he coughed lightly:
"Girl, you are holding a murder weapon. Are you planning to rob money or sex?"
