Of course, it is a good thing that the night can be passed smoothly.
I just occasionally think of Lao Wang's breathing rhythm, and I'm always a little surprised.
He probably has some internal power, but he doesn't seem to know how to use it.
This reminded Jiang Ran of his previous self.
But... in his situation, how likely is it to be replicated?
Otherwise, Lao Wang is deliberately hiding his clumsiness.
If this is really the case, then there is really no need to expose it.
Suppose a master hides his name in an inn and acts as a waiter.
There must be some reason not to do so.
If exposed, it might become an enemy.
There is no reason for such extraneous matters.
The matter at the inn was temporarily forgotten by Jiang Ran.
But he found that his team seemed to be getting stronger.
Originally, he and Ye Jingshuang had Li Tianxin at best.
As a result, Zhang Zhihua chased after him and met Luo Qingyi on the way.
Finally, a Mo Tingsheng was captured.
The team of two people instantly became six people.
There are men, women, and a prisoner...why did the ingredients suddenly become complicated?
Looking up, he saw Zhang Zhihua riding his horse close to Ye Jingshuang, talking to her in a low voice.
Luo Qingyi also sat on the horse, holding Mo Tingsheng in front of him, looking around as he hurried on.
Li Tianxin, on the other hand, didn't love anyone, he looked so cold and cold, even his horse seemed to have its nostrils turned upward.
But soon Jiang Ran discovered that Li Tianxin seemed to be quite peaceful to everyone else.
He was polite when talking to Ye Jingshuang occasionally, and he could treat even Zhang Zhihua calmly.
Only when facing yourself, pick up your nose and eyes.
Jiang Ran originally thought that Zhang Zhihua was the one who provoked him, but now it was inexplicable why it seemed that he had provoked him?
But he and Ye Jingshuang slept peacefully in the room last night.
Where else can I offend him?
"Sure enough, he is seriously ill."
Jiang Ran gave an evaluation that he thought was fair.
The muddy road after the rain was not easy to walk on, and the horses' hooves sometimes slipped and split.
Naturally, everyone's actions slowed down.
Jiang Ran's ears twitched slightly, shook his head slightly, and asked Ye Jingshuang:
"Shuang'er, what are the forces near Hongfeng Villa?"
Ye Jingshuang looked back thoughtfully and shook his head:
"Qianliu Villa is one, and there are several small sects and small families.
“But it’s not as good as Qianliu Villa, and it’s probably just waving flags and shouting.
"Besides this, there is another place that is one of the five major sword sects... the Yunshan Sword Sect!"
"Five Sword Sects."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"I have always heard you talking about these five major sword sects. As far as I know now, one is your Liuyun Sword Sect, then the Danyang Sword Sect, and now there is another Yunshan Sword Sect.
"But I don't know what the names of the other two are?"
"The remaining two, one is the Qingsong Sword Sect and the other is the Shuiyue Sword Sect.
"But the Qingsong Sword Sect and the Shuiyue Sword Sect are both far away from here, and they won't be able to reach them in a while.
"The Liuyun Sword Sect is hundreds of miles away in Liuyun Mountain. It can't be reached in just a few days."
Ye Jingshuang said this and sighed softly:
“Actually, my father originally wanted me to join the Yunshan Sword Sect.
“With this incense love, we can also help each other.
"However, Master Guyun has other plans, so we have no choice but to drop this matter."
"I see."
Jiang Ran nodded: "In this case, they personally rejected this jade like you."
"Brother Jiang is joking again."
Ye Jingshuang rolled her eyes at Jiang Ran:
"What kind of rough jade am I?"
"Don't underestimate yourself."
Jiang Ran said: "I know your martial arts very well. Whether it is swordsmanship or internal strength, you have achieved success. At this age, you can be proud of having such martial arts."
This is actually not meant to be flattering.
When she was with Ye Jingshuang earlier, Ye Jingshuang's martial arts seemed to be mediocre.
However, she was seriously injured at that time.
The battle in the Valley of the Past is where he really showed his strength.
He can fight as well as Tong Wanli.
This skill should be superior to Li Tianxin and Luo Qingyi.
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran silently:
"Brother Jiang...you are speaking in an old-fashioned way, as if you are an old man.
"Aren't you about the same age as me?"
"this……"
Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment. He couldn't tell her that he was a loser and couldn't use common sense to judge, right?
Anyone who compares himself with himself is looking for discomfort.
Jiang Ran has never felt that he is better than these young heroes in the world.
After all, if they put each other on the same starting line, he may not be any better than them.
It's just that it's hard to say this.
Ye Jingshuang did not hesitate about this and continued:
“Yunshan Sword Sect has a long tradition and profound foundation.
"There are four peaks in the mountain, namely Guyun Peak, Hanhai Peak, Daqian Peak, and Baimu Peak.
"The four peaks are juxtaposed, each leading one, and all have inheritance.
"Guyun Peak is the first peak. Every leader of the Yunshan Sword Sect comes from this peak. After he succeeds him, he is called Gu Yunzi.
"And the swordsmanship of these four peaks each has its own merits.
"Even for the Five Sects Sword Club, they only choose one peak to go to..."
At this point, she paused, expecting the enemy to speak first:
"As for the Five Sects Sword Club, it is held every five years.
"Initially, it seemed that the disciples of the five sects met by chance in the rivers and lakes, and none of the swordsmen were convinced by the others, so they sat down to discuss swords.
"As a result, their swordsmanship has greatly improved.
"So we decided to have a small meeting every year to test each other's schools.
"And as their status became higher and higher, what was originally a small meeting between a few people gradually evolved into a conference with disciples.
“The time has also changed from once a year to once every five years.
"Three years ago, I went to a conference with my mentor. It was indeed an eye-opener and made me a lot better."
"Did you meet Shi Miao in this sword association?"
Jiang Ran was a little curious.
"That's not true."
Ye Jingshuang shook his head:
"Actually, the five major sword sects are also close to each other in private.
"The Danyang Sword Sect and my Liuyun Sword Sect have always been on good terms.
"Shi Miao's master and my mentor are sworn friends.
"So, I have known Shi Miao since we were young.
"The reason why we didn't see him for three years was because Shi Miao entered the sword realm.
"So she has been in seclusion for three years... and she has just recently come out to sharpen her sword."
Jiang Ran heard another word he had never heard before:
"Sword Realm?"
"You are really ignorant!"
Li Tianxin had been listening for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.
Naturally, this opening did not come in a good tone.
Jiang Ran glanced at him, not bothering to look further, so he looked at Ye Jingshuang, waiting for her to give an explanation.
As a result, Li Tianxin snorted:
"The so-called sword realm is a realm unique to those who practice swordsmanship.
"It is said that once you enter this realm, your swordsmanship will improve a lot.
"It's just that, as far as I know, if you want to step into this realm, you need to accumulate knowledge. If you are lucky enough to enter this level before the age of forty, you will definitely become a great swordsman in the future.
"I'm afraid Shi Miao has not yet reached his peak of 20 years. How could he reach this level?"
"This has something to do with the martial arts she learned."
Ye Jingshuang said softly:
"It's just this, I can't reveal it."
"Did her temper come from this?"
Jiang Ran asked.
"kindness."
Ye Jingshuang nodded.
Jiang Ran understood now.
Although he didn't spend much time with Shi Miao, Jiang Ran discovered that this girl had an innocent temperament and seemed cool, but in fact she was straightforward.
She didn't even seem to be afraid.
No matter what kind of opponent he faces, he will go all out and never take detours.
It's like a sharp sword.
It is better to take what is straight than to seek what is wrong.
This is by no means an advantage. After all, being square inside and round outside is the way to be a human being.
This is a flaw, the price she pays for being able to enter the sword realm in less than twenty years.
"This state seems too dangerous. If you are not careful..."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly.
Ye Jingshuang also nodded:
"Actually, with her appearance, a 'sword bearer' should be arranged for her.
"She is like a sword, and her temperament is like a sword.
“She doesn’t know how to beat around the bush on her own, and she needs someone to remind her to help her beat around the bush...
"It's like someone wielding a sword and wielding it.
"It's just like what happened to Brother Jiang when you and she went to pursue Zuo Daozhuang.
"According to her original temperament, the moment she found Zuodaozhuang, she would rush in and kill everyone.
"Either kill all your opponents or be killed by others.
"But you were by your side and helped her make another choice, so she wasn't so sharp."
"So, even though she is reckless, she is actually very obedient?"
"Not necessarily."
Ye Jingshuang smiled: "At least you have to be able to hold her in martial arts and make her admire her sincerely, then you can be the sword holder. Otherwise, although the sword is good, it will hurt you."
Jiang Ran felt that this description sounded somewhat awkward.
It felt like Shi Miao didn't look like a person, but really just a sword.
It seems a bit strange that the topic has shifted from the five major sword sects to Shi Miao.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Li Tianxin say:
"Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, there seems to be some discord between the Liuyun Sword Sect and the Yunshan Sword Sect?"
"Master Li is indeed well-informed."
Ye Jingshuang nodded:
“Because both factions have the word ‘cloud’ in their names.
"So, there is always friction between the two.
"But all in all, these conflicts are mostly concentrated among the five sects of sword guilds.
"After all, with the title of 'Five Swords', we can still take care of each other even when we are traveling around the world."
Jiang Ran had heard Li Tianxin say before that there were 'one sect, two guilds, five swords, seven sects and thirteen gangs' in the world of Jin Chan Dynasty.
The five major sword sects are indeed the ‘Five Swords’ among them.
With this in mind, I was about to talk about the Yunshan Sword Sect again, wondering if they would come to Hongfeng Villa to join in the fun.
Then I heard an extremely subtle but extremely dense tinkling sound coming from afar.
Jiang Ran suddenly looked up and saw that the sound came from quite far away. At this time, he could only hear the sound but could not see who was fighting.
But Ye Jingshuang, Li Tianxin and the others didn't even hear their voices.
He immediately spoke and said:
"There's someone fighting in front of us, let's move quickly."
Ye Jingshuang didn't doubt that he was there, so she immediately put her legs under the horse's belly and rode forward.
Li Tianxin and Luo Qingyi also speeded up.
Only Zhang Zhihua looked puzzled:
"Why didn't I hear anything?"
But seeing that everyone was already far away, he quickly followed:
"Wait for me……"
Everyone paid no attention to the small talk and after speeding up, several people rushed out from behind.
"No, they are going to run away!"
"Quickly, follow them. They are probably here for the Broken Gold Knife. This group of people are highly skilled in martial arts and are not ordinary people. Let's follow them quietly. Maybe we will have a chance to get a share of the pie."
There were seven or eight people in a row, some of whom knew each other, and some of whom did not.
People jumped out from both sides one after another, speeding up to catch up.
After Jiang Ran and the others walked forward for a while, Ye Jingshuang and the others heard the noise.
Going further, I saw two figures flying vertically and horizontally on the wild road in the mountains, waving their long swords, drawing thousands of colorful lines.
In addition, on both sides of the mountain road, there were two groups of people glaring at each other.
Ye Jingshuang just glanced at it and was stunned:
"He is my senior fellow apprentice of Liuyun Sword Sect!"
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, looked closely, and found that both groups were wearing white clothes.
However, one group of people had a cloud embroidered on their sleeves, while another group had a green mountain embroidered on their sleeves.
Liuyun and Yunshan...
As soon as I finished saying this, I saw someone.
At this time, the two people fighting in mid-air had already landed on the ground.
They were fighting each other with swords and lights, and both had superb methods.
Jiang Ran could tell at a glance that the sword technique performed by one of them had the shadow of Liuyun Sword Technique.
The swordsmanship performed by the man opposite was as steady as a mountain, and each sword seemed to be of great weight.
It seemed to be extremely slow, but it blocked the man opposite him from the three-foot-long green front, as if his swordsmanship was changing rapidly.
"Senior Brother Huang!!"
Ye Jingshuang couldn't help shouting at this time.
Hearing this sound, the two people fighting immediately turned around, were stunned at the same time, and then each flew a palm.
Just as a bang was heard, the gang energy dispersed, and the two figures suddenly separated.
"Hahaha, Huang Xuan, I haven't seen you for three years, your swordsmanship is not as good as before!"
The master of the Yunshan Sword Sect laughed heartily, his words full of jokes.
But Huang Xuan shook his head slightly:
"[The Great Thousand Peaks] seems clumsy but is skillful. The important thing is to lift a heavy weight but not to do it lightly."
"You only had the same appearance three years ago. See you today, and you still look like this...
"Ling Buyi, the way of martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. You said that I am not as good as before, but I think you... are not as good as eight years ago."
The two men suddenly spoke, not wanting to be outdone in their words.
When Ling Buyi heard what Huang Xuan said, he immediately became angry:
"You fart!"
"You smell it!"
"Are you a three-year-old?"
"That's two years older than you."
"Whoever is older will die first!"
"Then you will provide for me until the end of my life?"
"I'll fight you!"
"Come on, who's afraid of whom!?"
Listening to the two people arguing, Jiang Ran felt as if he was a seven or eight-year-old child suffocating here.
I couldn't help but glance at Ye Jingshuang.
Ye Jingshuang covered her face and whispered:
"Senior Brother Huang and Senior Brother Ling of the Yunshan Sword Sect have always been at odds.
"Two people can spend a whole day fighting for a chicken feather, and then yell at each other for three days and three nights.
"This... is something we have become accustomed to."
"..."
Jiang Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, other members of the Liuyun Sword Sect no longer cared about their senior brothers, and came to Jiang Ran and others one after another.
Around Ye Jingshuang:
"Junior Sister Ye, it's great that you're okay!"
"We just received the news a while ago, and we thought...Senior Sister Ye, you scared me to death."
"Senior Sister Ye, you have lost weight. This period of time must be difficult. If your master saw you like this, wouldn't he be heartbroken?"
"Who are they? Are they all friends of Junior Sister?"
Among the Liuyun Sword Sect, there are big ones and small ones. The big one is in his thirties and the younger one is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Ye Jingshuang was surrounded by chatter and chatter.
Li Tianxin silently took two steps back, feeling a buzzing pain in his head.
Zhang Zhihua, on the other hand, looked at this scene and felt inexplicably warm.
At this moment, the sound of ding-ding-ding-ding started again.
But Huang Xuan and Ling Buyi started fighting again.
Everyone looked up and heard a little girl next to Ye Jingshuang pouting:
"Senior Brother Huang, why are you still fighting him? We have already found Senior Sister Ye, so stop fighting!"
"That's right, I'm hungry."
"How long will they continue to fight? Is there no food to eat today?"
"Someone go up and stop him. If he continues to fight, he will lose his head."
"Who can go up and stop him? Senior Brother Huang's martial arts has become more and more advanced in recent years. Even Master can't win within a hundred moves."
"Can the person on the other side stop Ling Buyi?"
"It's hard to estimate...if someone had this ability, they would have taken action long ago."
"Eh...not good!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed:
"They're really on fire."
Liuyun Sword Sect and Yunshan Sword Sect are somewhat at odds with each other because of their names.
When disciples and disciples meet, they often refuse to give in to each other.
It's just that in the past, it was all concentrated on the Five Sects Sword Club, and any conflicts would be resolved there.
Even if something really happened, the elders in the family would still protect him.
But now, meeting each other at the foot of the Red Maple Mountain, what if something big happened after a fierce fight.
Then there really is no way to end it.
However, these two people are very powerful in martial arts and cannot be stopped by ordinary disciples.
Seeing the swords of these two men getting faster and faster, the swords pointed at each other's vital points.
Even Ye Jingshuang couldn't help frowning and stepped forward with intention, but she also knew that although Liuyun swordsmanship was superb, she could compete with them... but it was impossible to stop them.
.
As she pondered, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Ran:
"Brother Jiang...can you please take action to separate them?"
Hearing what Ye Jingshuang said, several disciples of Liuyun Sword Sect were stunned.
I couldn't help but look at Jiang Ran.
Seeing how young he was, I didn't immediately believe that he had such ability.
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and nodded:
"It's natural."
When the people of Liuyun Sword Sect heard what he said, they were a little hesitant to speak.
But Ye Jingshuang said so, and Jiang Ran was still so confident. If they stepped forward to stop him, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
So he had no choice but to stand aside and give Jiang Ran a sweat.
However, he saw Jiang Ran's figure swaying, stepping out of numerous shadows, and in a blink of an eye, he was already among Huang Xuan and Ling Buyi.
Huang Xuan rolled his eyes, and his heart suddenly froze:
