As a time traveler, Jiang Ran is also a man in the world.
I never believe that the imperial court represents absolute justice.
Although his system is based on the premise of capturing documents at sea, catching people with knives and people in exchange for rewards.
But this is just the logic and mechanism of the system.
It does not represent Jiang Ran's own position and concepts of good and evil.
Therefore, when he saw the wanted list, the first thing he thought about was how many of them were true and how many were false? And how many of them were fake for public benefit?
Otherwise...
The appearance of the Sword Holder might have been to clear out the disobedient people in the world for the imperial court.
When I first learned about the Sword Holding Division and the Sword Holding Order.
The thought that came to Jiang Ran's mind was 'Learn the skills of the barbarians to control them'.
The rivers and lakes have been in chaos for many years, causing numerous disasters in various places.
It is reasonable for the imperial court to come up with such a method.
Jiang Ran had such a system, and although he was not happy to see it come to fruition, he felt it was insignificant.
But as soon as this list came out, he had some concerns.
He can kill people, but he doesn't want to be a knife in the palm of others.
Even if you can get benefits for this, you are not willing to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
This is the bottom line.
However, these things can be considered later. For now, from all aspects, the two Lords Yang and Yue are destined to die.
Either they die or you die.
Otherwise, he will die as an old drunkard.
Ever since the old drunkard chopped off their arms with a knife twenty years ago, this grudge has finally been settled with the death of one of them.
While his mind was spinning, Jiang Ran raised his head and glanced at Chang Nian, and said with a smile:
"Where's Dao Wuming?"
"He left already."
Chang Nian smiled and said:
"He comes and goes like the wind. When he comes, I don't know where he comes from. When he leaves, I don't know where he is going."
Jiang Ran nodded and did not ask any more questions.
At this time, a government servant had already arrived carrying a tray with many banknotes on it.
"Young hero, please take stock."
Seeing this all the time, he stretched out his arms as a guide and asked the yamen servant to hand the banknote to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded and took it smoothly.
The next moment, dense reminders appeared in front of him.
At this moment, I didn't bother to take a closer look, so I hid the system for the time being.
I took the banknotes and compared them, and found that the total was nineteen thousand six hundred taels.
Jiang Ran counted the money and looked at it eagerly.
Finally, when Jiang Ran put all the banknotes in his arms, he felt as if he had lost them.
Jiang Ran smiled when he saw this:
"Okay, the matter here is over, the common people should leave."
Ye Jingshuang immediately stood up and said goodbye.
Chang Nian smiled dryly and said:
"Why leave in a hurry? Why don't you stay for a quick meal?
"But now that there is no money in the county government, you two won't mind it if you have a simple life, right?"
"If you don't dislike it, you will naturally not dislike it."
Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"I'm just greedy today and want to eat meat, so I'll bother Mr. Chang next time."
"..."
I was speechless for a while and could only get up to see off the guests.
It wasn't until he sent the two people out of the county government office that he reluctantly turned around, feeling that Jiang Ran was not the one who was leaving, but wasted money.
Fortunately, the money is not lost. I will explain what happened in detail, and then find someone to compare the heads and verify the identities.
The court will transfer this money from the treasury to fill the Benma County government.
It's just that in this process, it's hard to say how many hands it has to go through, how many layers of exploitation it has to be exploited, and how many will eventually fall into your own hands.
Thinking of this, I feel pain in my body again all year round.
Jiang Ran was in a good mood, and he and Ye Jingshuang did not go back to the inn directly, but went to Ma Ye's place first.
All his things were over there, and he had to change his clothes. This colorful outfit was for the purpose of blending in with the Zuodaozhuang gang.
At that time, Tong Wanli and others entered the Valley of Purity first, followed by the people from Zuodaozhuang.
Jiang Ran was hiding nearby, waiting for the people from Zuodaozhuang to arrive, and then quietly blended in.
Only then can we determine when we will encounter Tong Wanli and his party.
Otherwise, if they don't fight at the beginning and go back to explain the situation clearly in a few words, the scene will be in vain.
And the reason why they were able to take action as soon as they met was due to Jiang Ran's first words.
Now that the big thing is over, it's natural to change into your own clothes.
Jiang Ran put the banknote into the bag and pulled it a little, feeling that he was really rich now.
After the incident in Cangzhou Mansion, Jiang Ran received thirteen thousand five hundred taels.
Now there are another nineteen thousand six hundred taels, plus the previous bits and pieces.
It is never an exaggeration to say that one is extremely wealthy!
What's more, he still has two heads in his hand.
Dugu Yu and Yin Yueniang wanted to communicate with each other, but they were not in the county government office.
But there is another place.
The nearest place is in Cangzhou Mansion.
If we go back to Hong Maple Leaf's house first, we can take a detour and go to Cangzhou Mansion first to hand over this matter.
And Jiang Ran didn't intend to keep all of the more than nineteen thousand taels of silver for himself.
After all, Li Tianxin and others helped with this trip.
It is really unjustifiable to ignore a little bit of money.
After getting ready, Jiang Ran led Ye Jingshuang to the inn.
When I entered the door, I saw Li Tianxin sitting alone in the inn, holding a wine glass and sipping it, holding a pair of chopsticks to hold a peanut to serve the wine, looking quite satisfied with the meal.
But I didn't see Shi Miao Gui Shisan and the others.
Jiang Ran led Ye Jingshuang to sit opposite Li Tianxin unceremoniously.
Li Tianxin raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his gaze:
"Did you get the money?"
"What about the rest?"
Jiang Ran asked.
"gone."
Li Tianxin did not beat around the bush:
"Gui Shisan said that he has something important to do, and he is probably going to see the Palace Master to report what happened here.
"Shi Miao said that she went down the mountain this time just to experience the world and sharpen her sword.
"So, I couldn't delay sharpening my sword, so I left."
When he said this, he glanced at Ye Jingshuang:
"She left you a letter in your room."
"Thank you for reminding."
Ye Jingshuang nodded.
Jiang Ran gave Li Tianxin a strange look:
"how about you?"
"Me what?"
"Why don't you leave?"
"...Why should I leave?"
Li Tianxin raised his head and glanced at Jiang Ran.
"That's right...forget it, your life is good."
Jiang Ran dug through his bag for a while, took out a handful of banknotes and slapped them in front of Li Tianxin.
Li Tianxin looked stunned for a moment:
"This is?"
"Divide the spoils."
While Jiang Ran was speaking, he took out another handful of banknotes and handed them to Ye Jingshuang.
Ye Jingshuang waved her hands quickly:
"Brother Jiang, I don't need it, right?"
"In the world of martial arts, you can't do anything without money. Haven't you heard that a penny can stump a hero?
"How can I not give you money when I'm exhausted? I'm not Zhou Papi."
Li Tianxin nodded:
"That's right, although I don't know who Zhou Papi is you are talking about, but at least he won't poison people casually."
"kindness?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him: "Aren't you going to drink this wine?"
"..."
Li Tianxin was stunned, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and then looked at Jiang Ran:
"You won't..."
"you guess."
"I guess your uncle!"
Li Tianxin snorted, collected the banknotes on the table, and stuffed them into his arms without counting them.
Ye Jingshuang thought for a moment, but did not refuse and put the banknote away.
Then he said to Jiang Ran:
"Then I'll go find my uncle and cousin first and talk about what's going to happen next."
"kindness."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"There's no rush. Let's rest here for the night and leave again early tomorrow morning."
"good."
Ye Jingshuang agreed and went upstairs first.
Li Tianxin glanced at Ye Jingshuang's back, then withdrew his gaze and fell on Jiang Ran:
"What are you going to do about this girl?"
"What do you mean?"
"What should I do? This girl is obviously interested in you. Are you not going to follow the trend and take her into the room?"
Li Tianxin winked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran's mouth twitched:
"Where did your aloofness go when we first met? You were ugly to begin with, but if you were a bit aloof, you could barely look at me. Now that your features are flying around, it's really an eyesore."
"Whether I look good or not is none of your business!
"Besides, I'm a grown man, so it doesn't matter if I'm ugly.
"Like you, you are oily and pink-faced, showing mercy everywhere..."
Li Tianxin rolled his eyes at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran suddenly became angry:
"Since when did I show mercy?"
"I'm afraid you'll be merciful without realizing it."
Li Tianxin sneered again and again: "I've ruined this girl's life, let's see if you feel guilty or not."
"What a mess."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"I'm too lazy to tell you more, I have other things to do."
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.
Li Tianxin's eyes lingered behind him for a long time, and he kept mumbling and said a few words in a voice that only he could hear.
Finally, he lightly stamped his feet and snorted:
"None of them are good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ran's voice was heard:
"Who are you talking about?"
"ah?"
Li Tianxin was startled, and looked at Jiang Ran who came down from upstairs again at some point:
"Didn't you go upstairs?"
"I suddenly thought of something and wanted to ask you."
Jiang Ran didn't hold on to what happened just now:
"Based on your knowledge, have you ever heard that there is a martial art in the Demon Cult that can make people disappear without a trace in an instant in front of you?
"It's like being invisible and escaping."
After Li Tianxin heard this, he was obviously stunned and stood up with a huff:
"Where is the man you saw now?"
"Left long ago."
Jiang Ran glanced at him:
"Do you know this guy?"
Li Tianxin frowned, glanced at Jiang Ran again, and then said:
"The Kung Fu you are talking about is a unique skill in the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Record.
"It's called [The Ten Thousand Thoughts Technique of the Great Self-Deviled Demon], and it is one of the most brilliant martial arts in the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records.
“You can use your inner strength to release it externally and use your thoughts to change your form.
"It is said that if you practice to an advanced level, you can become seven in one body.
"And each phantom retains a certain amount of skill in its own body, without losing its own skill.
"As the skill deepens, the distance between the phantom and the real body will gradually become longer.
“At first it was three feet in diameter, and with each level of internal strength improvement, the distance increased by one foot.
"At most eighteen feet.
"The time of simultaneous existence will also gradually increase with the depth of skill.
"It can last up to half an hour."
After hearing these words, Jiang Ran felt a faint sense of horror in his heart.
When I saw the old man today, I felt that his skills were unfathomable, but I didn't expect that he was not his true form.
His true body should be hidden within the eighteen-foot radius where he was at that time.
To my surprise, I didn't even notice this person at all.
"Who is he?"
Jiang Ran asked in a deep voice.
"If it is really the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon's Ten Thousand Thoughts Art, as far as I know, only one of the remnants of the Demon Sect has mastered this martial art.
"He is the leader of these remnants, the current leader of the Demon Cult!"
When Li Tianxin said this, he looked at Jiang Ran seriously:
"Where on earth did you see this person?"
"Ask Xianglin."
Seeing Li Tianxin's explanation, Jiang Ran didn't hide anything.
Li Tianxin got up and left.
"He left already."
Jiang Ran said.
"This is the first time in these years that I am so close to him. Even if I leave, I still have to take a look."
Li Tianxin looked back at Jiang Ran:
"Don't mind your own business."
"Are you sure?"
"Even if we meet, we still don't know who will win."
Li Tianxin said coldly.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know where Li Tianxin got such confidence.
But after hearing what he said, he still nodded:
"then you go."
"Farewell."
Li Tianxin took a deep look at Jiang Ran and flew out of the inn door.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't follow.
Li Tianxin has his own ideas, and his background is far from ordinary.
Now that I am determined to go, I really don’t have the right position to stop me.
After thinking for a while, he sighed and got up and went upstairs.
He really has business to do.
The heads of Duguyu and Yin Yueniang need to be dealt with.
Otherwise, given the current weather, these two heads would be rotten in just a few days.
Secondly, he must receive the reward.
I worked on the two heads back and forth for nearly an hour.
Jiang Ran then sat in front of the bed. With a thought, the system interface popped up in front of him.
[Reward: two years of strength!]
[Reward: three years of strength!]
【Earn rewards……】
The first few are all internal forces. Jiang Ran estimated that they add up to exactly twenty years.
However, Jiang Ran did not receive it.
Instead, keep looking down.
There are three more rewards next.
[Reward: Hidden Shadow God Step (Thirty-Five Years)!]
[Get reward: Split muscles and bones (thirty years)! 】
[Reward: Great Brahma Vajra Technique (twenty-seven years)! 】
Looking at these three rewards, Jiang Ran frowned.
Especially the hand that divides muscles and bones.
There are indeed many people who know this technique in martial arts circles, and in some martial arts schools you can even learn it for money.
Although there is no thirty years of blessing...but this is nothing more than a matter of proficiency.
Not to mention that there are many people who, based on this foundation, have innovated and developed different sects and more sophisticated techniques.
Therefore, this reward... is really a bit hard to describe.
As for the Latent Shadow Magic Step.
This skill should belong to Liao Chengfeng.
Liao Chengfeng was a remnant of the Shen Shen Sect. Jiang Ran didn't know much about this sect, but judging from what Dugu Yu and others said, most of its members were doing sneaky things.
Judging from the name, this reward should be one of Qinggong.
If you really have the ability to 'conquer gods with latent shadows', it wouldn't be too bad.
But the most important thing is the final [Great Brahma Vajra Technique].
Yesterday he could see the protective power of this skill.
Although it has flaws, its power is obvious to all.
This made Jiang Ran a little confused.
The thing that bothers him is that he has given up two rewards and received two buffs.
You can increase the next reward you receive.
Originally, there were so many rewards this time, but if there was anything unnecessary, Jiang Ran could give it up.
But now it seems that the most unreliable thing is the hand that has been broken and broken for thirty years.
But it feels a bit pity to give up.
If you only rely on two buffs, you don't know how far this Brahma Vajra Technique can be improved.
In addition, Jiang Ran had another worry in his mind.
He himself practices the Taoist Creation and Righteous Heart Sutra.
If one receives this Brahma Vajra Secret, can Buddhism and Taoism be integrated?
"Such a choice... is a bit risky."
Jiang Ran stared at the reward for a long time, and after much hesitation, he gave up on the splitting of muscles and bones.
This skill is a grappling technique, and I already have the [Kun Zi Thirteen Crazy Demon Claws], which is much better than this hand that splits muscles and bones.
As expected, Jiang Ran accumulated another layer of buffs.
Then he looked at the Great Brahma Vajra Secret and chose to receive it.
The next moment, a prompt appeared in front of Jiang Ran.
【Do you want to increase this reward?】
"yes."
[The Great Brahma Vajra Technique has been upgraded to thirty-seven years!]
【Do you want to continue to improve? 】
"How long does it take to be promoted every ten years?"
Jiang Ran suddenly realized, and then improved it twice more.
After making the last choice, no prompts appeared. The next moment, a vast sea of words appeared in my mind, and at the same time, an extremely pure internal force emerged from the Dantian.
This internal force is different from Jiang Ran's Good Fortune Meridian.
There seems to be golden light in the purity, and the sound of Zen is faintly heard in Jiang Ran's ears, and every word makes it look solemn.
And just when the internal power was diverging, the good fortune meridian in Jiang Ran's body suddenly turned.
Get out of the original trajectory and involve the inner power of the Great Brahma Vajra Technique.
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, thinking something was wrong.
Could it be that these two internal forces cannot coexist?
As soon as this thought came out, I found that I had broken through to the eighth level of the Right Heart Sutra of Creation, and it began to become more and more powerful.
And every time a little bit of the inner power of the Great Brahma Vajra Technique derived from the Dantian appears, it will be naturally involved in it and strengthened by the Zhengxin Sutra!
"this……"
Jiang Ran suddenly thought of all the rumors about the Zhengxin Sutra.
Some people have been cultivating their inner strength for many years to promote the Creation Right Heart Sutra, but then their inner strength has declined because they did not reach the sixth level.
However, no one has explained whether it is possible to switch to the original martial arts after the internal strength has declined.
Now it seems that it is impossible!
The Zhengxin Sutra of Creation looks like the breeze on both sleeves, and the Tao is natural.
In fact, it is so overbearing that it cannot allow other internal forces to coexist with it.
There is no hope of changing the martial arts, so I can only focus on this martial arts.
He fought until the end and ended up in a miserable state.
