He likes to eat, drink, whore, and gamble...at least he doesn't involve deceit or deceit.
Jiang Ran reached out and touched the back of his neck. For some reason, Jiang Ran suddenly glanced at Li Tianxin.
Li Tianxin's eyes widened.
When he noticed Jiang Ran looking at him, he quickly straightened his expression and grinned:
"The descendant of the majestic Ghost King...he has quite a wide range of hobbies."
"hehe."
Jiang Ran's mouth twitched.
"..."
The Infernal Ghost King didn't know what to say for a moment.
But that’s it for now, so let’s just drop the jar.
"Most of his time in a day is spent gambling.
"Besides, he is good at making mistakes.
"The technique is so powerful that almost no one can break it.
"After he finished gambling, he went to Pinxin Restaurant to eat, and he ate whatever the naughty guy wanted.
"I have to ask the owner of Huangquan Winery to send him wine...the best wine.
"Finally, after he has eaten and drank enough, he will go and rest in the Duopo Tower.
"But I heard that the girls in Duopo Tower all like him.
"He is so busy, and it is very valuable to be able to devote an hour to practice every day.
"But... martial arts have advanced rapidly into the country, which is incredible."
"Things in this world are always so unfair."
Ruan Yuqing felt a little uncomfortable hearing this.
They lived such a carefree life, but their martial arts improved by leaps and bounds. They practiced hard day and night, but they were not as good as Wan Yi.
This is naturally unfair.
But when has there ever been absolute fairness in this world?
"Master once said this too. He told me that he was unconvinced at first. He was obviously a senior brother, but he was always weaker than his junior brother..."
The Infernal Ghost King murmured:
“But as time went by, I let it go.
“People can fight with other people, but they cannot fight with those beings that cannot be called human beings…
"So at the end, when my uncle wanted to leave the Ghost King's Palace and set foot in the world.
"Master didn't feel happy at all.
"Because at that time he also felt that my uncle, the master, was the most suitable person to become the master of the Ghost Palace."
"and after?"
Jiang Ran said: "Zhuge Mingyu said before that if you want to leave the Ghost King's Palace, you need to pass through the Pagoda. What's going on?"
"This king has already said it just now."
The Infernal Ghost King frowned slightly, feeling that he had talked too much tonight.
But that’s it for now, so I just made it clear:
"Ordinary people who want to leave the Ghost Palace need to pass through the Obsessed Ghost Wall.
"If a master wants to leave, he must personally take action to erase his memory and impression of the Ghost King's Palace.
"But I, Master Uncle Wang, am such a master and have such status.
"If you want to leave here, you can only go through the Pagoda, the most dangerous place in the Ghost King's Palace..."
"However, although it is said to be the most dangerous place, its construction only took more than a hundred years.
“But even though it doesn’t last long, everyone who steps into it goes in alive and comes out dead.
"So, when my master heard that my uncle wanted to break through the pagoda and leave the Ghost King's Palace, he found him... and had a fierce fight with him."
"..."
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:
“The results of this period can probably be imagined.
"He entered the Pagoda and came out alive?"
"kindness."
The Infernal Ghost King nodded slightly:
"He came out alive, but unfortunately, all the endless paintings he had worked hard on for many years were ruined."
"Has he lost all his martial arts skills?"
Jiang Ran was stunned. These previous details made Jiang Ran feel that the uncle of the Infernal Ghost King looked very similar to an old drunkard.
But if you lose all your martial arts, you won't be able to cope with it.
After all, among everyone's word of mouth, the old drunkard's martial arts is the best in the world!
Moreover, if he was a descendant of the Ghost King Palace, how could he inherit the Nine Shocking Swordsmen?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran shook his head, feeling as if he was neurotic.
Whenever something happens, I think of the old drunkard.
Old drunkards are not the only ones who like to do things like eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.
"That's right."
The Ghost King Wujian nodded: "He has lost all his martial arts, but the master said that despite this, he still has a relaxed smile on his face.
"Later, the ghost king from that meeting, my master, appeared.
"I helped him stabilize his injuries, and then personally assigned the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, the old, the old, the sick, and the dead to follow him and leave the Ghost King's Palace.
"The purpose is to protect him.
"It's just that it's been so long since then that they have never come back to the Ghost King's Palace."
"Your uncle...what's his name?"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask this question.
"have no idea."
The Infernal Ghost King said very handsomely:
"The Ghost Palace is full of lonely ghosts, where did the name come from?"
"..."
Pretending to be your sister!
Jiang Ran let out a soft breath, feeling that after hearing the story until the end, he was not sure who his uncle was.
His mind moved slightly, and he suddenly asked again:
"Speaking of which, since you are the current Ghost King, what happened to the previous Ghost King?
"Are you still alive today?"
"...No more."
The Infernal Ghost King spoke calmly:
"Twenty years ago, my mentor left the Ghost Palace for unknown reasons and started fighting with others, leaving him covered in wounds.
"It was also in the winter of that year that he met me, took me back to the Ghost King's Palace and adopted me, and taught me all he had learned.
"But this old man is suffering from internal injuries day and night.
"I persisted like this for seventeen years, until I felt that I could support this ghost palace... and then I gave up and went back."
"I see……"
Jiang Ran nodded, but his brows furrowed even more.
Twenty years ago…
Twenty years ago, I was picked up by an old drunkard and brought home on a snowy night.
Twenty years ago, the previous Ghost King fought with someone unknown and was seriously injured.
Is this a coincidence, or did something extraordinary really happen that winter twenty years ago?
With this thought rolling in his mind, he glanced at the Infernal Ghost King again.
The eyes of the Infernal Ghost King were full of impatience, and he waved his hand:
"If you have anything else to ask, just ask it in one go!"
"...Nothing, I just want to ask, where is this pagoda? Can I pay my respects to it?"
Jiang Ran smiled and said this without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
The Infernal Ghost King glanced at him and sighed:
"You can go, I will take you there."
"Thank you."
Jiang Ran was immediately happy.
He actually didn't know why he wanted to see the pagoda, but after hearing so many stories, he always felt at ease after taking a look at it.
Everyone immediately set off and followed the Infernal Ghost King towards the pagoda.
The 'evil ghosts' surrounding the royal palace have long since been driven away by the Ghost King Wujian.
Now there are traces of 'ghosts' on the streets, but they all seem to be a little confused. They gather together in twos and threes, doing their own things, but they can't help but discuss what just happened.
Seeing the Ghost King Wujian leading a group of strangers swaggering through the market, there was even more discussion.
Along the way, Ruan Yuqing gave an answer to the question raised by Jiang Ran just now.
When Bi Chenzi met Ruan Yuqing before, he once said that he had an old acquaintance with the Shuiyue Sword Sect.
Naturally, this is not a relationship, but a grudge.
Ruan Yuqing told Jiang Ran that Bi Chenzi was greedy for women, and the Shuiyue Sword Sect was a women's sword sect, so he could not help but be remembered by this person.
A senior in the sect met this man on the wrong side and died in his hands.
Everyone in the Shuiyue Sword Sect worked together, and after knowing the truth, they would naturally fight to the death with Bi Chenzi.
He was chased and intercepted several times, but he escaped every time.
Later, what this person did became known to more people, and he disappeared from the world.
Of course, now everyone knows that he actually went to Wuxin Ghost Mansion.
Ruan Yuqing never thought that she would meet him here.
But as soon as the green hills and green hills appeared dimly, his identity was exposed.
This is naturally to avenge the elders of the sect.
Jiang Ran nodded when he heard this: "You can kill him if you want. He was captured by you. When the time comes, just leave his head to me."
"For this matter, I, the Shuiyue Sword Sect, will also appreciate your favor."
Ruan Yuqing chuckled: "It's just that the debt to Hongye Villa has not yet been repaid, and the debt seems to be getting more and more."
"If it doesn't work out, just pledge yourself to me."
Jiang Ran didn't say this, it was Li Tianxin who rolled his eyes and muttered.
Ruan Yuqing was stunned, glanced at Jiang Ran, and then shook his head:
"Not to mention that there is Miss Ye, even if there is not... I am still two or three years older than him. If I promise you my life, wouldn't this be repaying kindness with hatred?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Li Tianxin and said with a smile:
"Brother Li, after we leave this ghost palace, can you and I have a good talk?"
"..."
Li Tianxin suddenly lost his mind to speak.
While chatting, the Infernal Ghost King soon led them to the gate of a large courtyard.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and looked around but saw no sign of the tower.
The Infernal Ghost King casually opened the door of the courtyard, and with a creaking sound, the situation in the courtyard was revealed to everyone.
Jiang Ran looked at the ruins in the middle of the yard and glanced at the Ghost King Wujian:
"Collapsed?"
"kindness."
The Infernal Ghost King nodded:
"After my uncle came out of the pagoda, the pagoda collapsed.
"It seems like something has been triggered.
"That's why Uncle Master was so seriously injured.
"The Pagoda of the Pagoda is of great significance to the Ghost King's Palace after all, so the master refused to let people clean it and kept the ruins.
"Master said that it was because Master couldn't let go of Uncle Master, so he left this trace behind. It was an extra thought."
Jiang Ran sighed softly:
"Then why are you here to see..."
"You're here, let's take a look."
Infinite Ghost King said:
"After reading this, it's time for you to leave from here."
Jiang Ran didn't say anything and stepped into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard a brief scream from outside the door. It seemed that Ruan Yuqing had killed Bi Chenzi.
Jiang Ran didn't care, this man was going to die anyway.
It doesn't matter if you die early or die late.
Walking among the ruins, Jiang Ran's eyes wandered among the dilapidated bricks and tiles, not knowing what he was looking at.
He sighed softly and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he frowned.
Following the trajectory of his gaze, he looked back a little bit... and finally landed on a broken wall.
There is a mark on the broken wall...
The marks are weird. They are obviously not knife marks, but they contain the meaning of the knife.
It seems that someone pointed at the knife and cut it out.
Jiang Ran looked at this trace quietly, and after a moment, a glint of a knife seemed to be reflected in the depths of his eyes.
He immediately clicked the Heavenly Stems nine steps, trying to get out of the way.
However, he discovered that this sword followed him like a shadow. No matter whether it was the Heavenly Stem Nine Steps or the Hidden Shadow Steps, it was impossible to escape from the range of this sword.
"How could this be?"
Jiang Ran's heart was determined, and the Good Fortune Sutra turned around.
With a clear mind, I thought that the knife marks would disappear, but I found that the knife marks in my eyes became clearer and clearer.
A sudden flash!
The sword light finally fell on Jiang Ran's left shoulder.
He looked down and saw that his shoulder was not injured.
That sword light is not real after all.
"Master!"
"Young Master Jiang."
"Owner!"
When Ruan Yuqing, Luo Qingyi, the bad gambler and others saw Jiang Ran jumping around, they all knew something was wrong and rushed forward.
Li Tianxin stared at the Ghost King Wujian.
The Ghost King of Infernal Affairs also felt a chill in his heart...
Just as he was about to look for the source of this look, Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"I'm fine."
Only then did Li Tianxin look away, then raised his neck, held the knife in his hand, and slowly walked towards Jiang Ran and the others, saying as he walked:
"You still have a childlike innocence. You are still so playful at your age."
"...Come and take a look at this wall."
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and pointed.
"What's wrong with this wall?"
Li Tianxin followed Jiang Ran's fingers and saw the marks on the wall:
"Isn't it just a fingerprint?
"It's normal for an expert to use his finger as a pen to write on huge rocks and cliffs. It's just a scratch on the wall. What's the big deal?"
"...You didn't see it? Look carefully!"
"??"
Li Tianxin frowned slightly and looked carefully. After a moment, he looked at Jiang Ran doubtfully:
"What do you want me to see?"
Jiang Ran was stunned. Looking at Li Tianxin's appearance, he really didn't seem to notice anything.
In addition to Li Tianxin, Ruan Yuqing and others were also surrounding the wall and taking a closer look.
But looking at it, I don't think there's anything weird about it.
The Infernal Ghost King also came to Jiang Ran at some point:
"It seems that only you can see the weirdness on this wall..."
"What exactly did you see?"
"……knife."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly: "A very sharp knife!"
"A sharp knife?"
Everyone looked at each other and Ruan Yuqing said softly:
"Could it be that this is the truth about the pagoda? Someone set up a martial arts trap in the pagoda to lure people into a state of trance and then kill them with a sword?"
"It shouldn't be that simple."
Jiang Ran breathed out lightly:
"If this is the case, this mark should not appear on the wall.
"This shouldn't be the only place...
"This should be left by the people who stepped into the pagoda back then.
"This man must have had some enlightenment while in the pagoda."
When Jiang Ran said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the trace again.
After a moment, the sword light was reflected in the depths of his eyes again.
Only this time, Jiang Ran was prepared, looked carefully, and found the clues.
But even if I want to get out of the way, I still can't.
The last time the sword light fell on his throat.
At this moment, Jiang Ran felt a little bitter.
"This is a knife mark he left decades ago, but to this day, I have been killed twice by this knife mark.
"Over the years, to what extent will the swordsmanship of the person who left this mark improve?"
Jiang Ran took a deep breath and looked at the knife mark again.
This time was different from the previous two times. He had a plan in mind, so this knife that was somewhat familiar to him suddenly became clearer.
But this time he was not killed directly by the sword.
Because as soon as the broken gold knife came out, the blade and the light of the knife collided in his eyes and dispersed each other.
Everyone saw that Jiang Ran had drawn his sword, and they immediately gave in.
Jiang Ran obviously wanted to learn about martial arts. They stayed by his side, firstly to disturb them, and secondly, if Jiang Ran forgot about things and me, and took them to test the sword... wouldn't he die unjustly?
The brilliance in the eyes of the Infernal Ghost King was a bit complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking of.
Everyone gathered together and waited quietly.
This wait is just the effort of one stick of incense.
Jiang Ran seemed to be fighting with someone.
At the beginning, he mainly focused on dodge and response, but unknowingly, the process began to lengthen.
It seems that he can see more and more moves, and the changes are becoming more and more complex.
At the extreme moment, the broken gold knife in Jiang Ran's hand flashed with a ball of gold, and the dance was airtight.
The evolution of moves is even more exhaustive, which is frightening.
However, in the second half of this stick of incense, Jiang Ran began to use fewer and fewer moves.
It seemed that he could see less and less.
By this time, his eyes had returned to calmness, and the traces of his knife were extremely strange.
It makes people afraid to look at it.
It seems that when you stare at the knife, the knife will suddenly strike in your heart.
"He...his sword skills have improved again."
The face of Infinite Ghost King changed.
At this moment, Jiang Ran suddenly sheathed his sword, used his fingers as a knife, and cut lightly with the blade.
There was a sneer.
The wall on the opposite side was immediately split into two.
At this point, Jiang Ran let out a sigh of relief:
"let's go."
Turning back to look at the bad gambler:
"You take these six of your men and stay in the Ghost King's Palace for the time being to assist you, the hapless fool, in reorganizing the Ghost King's Palace.
"When the time is right, I will come back to you."
The bad gambler was stunned: "Then...then we had previously agreed to gamble once a month?"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment: "That's easy, how about we just gamble dozens of times and compress these dozens of months into one place?"
"good!"
The bad gambler nodded immediately, his face full of excitement, feeling that he was about to win the game.
Half an hour later, the bad gambler looked at Jiang Ran pitifully:
"Master, bet again, just once!"
"Let's talk next time."
Jiang Ran glanced at the Infernal Ghost King:
"Farewell."
"..."
The Infernal Ghost King looked at the bad gamblers and the six dice weirdos around him, and sighed, knowing that Jiang Ran should have found the answer.
Seeing him turning around and really going to leave, I couldn't help but ask:
"What sword skills did you master on that wall?"
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, then smiled:
"Children should stop asking about social affairs."
