Tang Huayi and the others came from a different direction than Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing.
It can be seen that there is not only one entrance to this place.
The place where Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing came down was the original robbery cave and the earliest entrance here.
Tang Huayi and others entered through other locations.
When Jiang Ran asked, Tang Huayi naturally didn't hide anything and pointed to where he came from:
"There is a secret passage here."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
"In that case, take this old man down and let's go out."
The rickety old man is now standing on the chains of the sword array.
First he looked at Jiang Ran, then at Tang Huayi and others not far away.
His face turned extremely ugly for a moment.
There is a wolf in front of me and a tiger behind me. I am caught in the middle, and I am in a dilemma.
If it had been before, he might not have been able to escape from this crowd by relying on his strange skills.
But he had just exchanged blows with Jiang Ran, and it seemed like nothing happened, but in fact he was seriously injured.
It is extremely difficult to escape now.
He held Tou'er in his arms and looked to the left and right, feeling sad for a moment.
"how so?
"You, why do you treat me like this?
"I, I just want to save my son... You guys, can you let me go?"
His voice was so sad that it really touched people's hearts.
But after saying these words, Ning Jiuyuan was the first to shout angrily:
"You want to save your son, why do you want to harm my junior brother!?"
"oh?"
Jiang Ran glanced at the old man.
"I, I...I didn't mean it."
The old man shook his head repeatedly:
"I have no choice. I want to cultivate compassion. Only compassion can save my son's life.
"But, this greatest sorrow in all eternity is too difficult!
“Not only is the method of making medicine difficult to achieve, the ‘medicinal materials’ are even more precious and hard to find.
“It is necessary to endure both physical and mental torture and experience many catastrophes of death before one can turn his cocoon into sorrow.
"When I got this method at the beginning of the year, I used the secret method contained on the sword to refine my sorrow, but I didn't expect that I directly destroyed Lord Wan's head!
"When my wife saw this, she did not hesitate to turn her body into medicine and refine herself into sadness.
"I have been practicing this technique for these years, but... it just seems difficult to master.
"I cut off a human head and studied it carefully, but I couldn't make any progress.
"But, I have to save my son.
"Even if, even if some people die, even if some people are killed, as long as I can save him, I will do anything!
"You can even make me sad!!"
This man still spoke in a confused manner.
Not long ago, he said that it was because people from the Qintian Prison chopped up his wife, so he killed all the people from the Qintian Prison.
Now, his wife has turned her body into medicine.
Jiang Ran could clearly see that nothing the old man said seemed like he was lying.
But if these are all true, then there is probably only one reason...
"I'm afraid he has already gone crazy."
Jiang Ran shook his head gently.
The mind is divided into several sections, which are chaotic, and each section generates memories based on its own guesses.
Relying on "saving my son" as the overall obsession, it supports the whole person until now.
What else can such a person be than a lunatic?
With this thought in his mind, Jiang Ran stopped delaying and pulled Ruan Yuqing to the net in a flash, hoping to capture the old man.
When the old man saw Jiang Ran arriving, his eyes suddenly changed.
He let out a strange scream, turned around and ran away.
The cry was filled with joy.
It seemed that Jiang Ran was not here to catch him, but just to play games with him.
This person has been here for many years and has a very good knowledge of the formations on the formation network.
Although Jiang Ran could walk freely through this formation, his understanding was still far behind.
Now the old man was running wildly on the formation net. Even if Jiang Ran was far superior to him in Qinggong and Internal Skills, he still couldn't catch him in a matter of seconds.
But he doesn't have to do it. According to the current location of the opponent, even if he has great abilities, the final result can only be retreated to the position where Tang Huayi and others are.
So Jiang Ran only needed to force him over, and he was done.
The old man ran and jumped on the formation net, sometimes looking back at Jiang Ran, sometimes at Tang Huayi's end.
In a daze, his figure suddenly froze.
He no longer ran or jumped, but looked at his hands in confusion:
"What am I doing?
"What is this place?"
He looked around blankly with his eyes. When these swords appeared in front of him, he seemed to suddenly realize:
"It turns out this is here, Jiaqi, we found it, we found it!!"
Having said this, he quickly looked around, as if he was looking for someone.
But as far as I could see, the person I was thinking of was not in front of me.
The old man's eyes were suddenly filled with confusion.
After a moment, he laughed lowly:
"So that's it...that's it!!"
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed his head.
After groping for a moment, he suddenly pulled it out... a silver needle about half a foot long was pulled out by force.
"This is!?"
Ning Jiuyuan immediately thought of the silver needles stuck on Feng Wu's head:
"He actually treated himself so cruelly?"
"He is indeed crazy."
Dao Wuming sighed softly, feeling that what Jiang Ran said just now was on point.
What happened to this man in the past was not because of his superb acting skills, but because he was a lunatic.
It's just that his madness is different from ordinary madness, so people can't tell it for a while.
"The same sorrow throughout the ages! The greatest sorrow throughout the ages!"
After he pulled out the steel needle, the old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:
"False, false...it's all false!
"No one in this world can achieve the greatest sorrow in all eternity..."
"The devil's elixir of immortality is the biggest lie in history!
"These demons... these demons!
"They, they use a big lie to deceive people and take pleasure in it...We are just a joke."
After the old man's efforts, Jiang Ran was almost catching up.
But after hearing his words, she couldn't help but glance at Tang Huayi.
What does this old man mean?
The greatest tragedy of all time is not one of the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records, but a lie told by the Demon Cult?
According to the character of the people of the Demon Cult, it is not impossible for them to do this kind of thing!
It is entirely possible for them to tell a lie about immortality, trick others into going through all kinds of troubles to find it, and use all possible means to achieve their goals... In the end, they find that it is all in vain.
This group of people would laugh to death after seeing such a drama.
But when Jiang Ran looked at Tang Huayi, he realized that Tang Huayi was also looking at him.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Ran couldn't tell clearly what Tang Huayi's eyes meant.
The old man was already within a palm's reach of him.
Kunzi Thirteen's crazy devil's claws reached out to grab it, only to see the old man suddenly burst out laughing. He suddenly waved his hand and threw the thrower hanging on his body.
Jiang Ran was stunned.
This man loves his son as much as his life. How could he abandon his son at the critical moment?
But then I thought about it, since he was a madman, how could he reason with common sense?
Immediately, he clasped his five fingers together and grabbed the thrower in his palm.
Just listen to the old man laughing wildly:
"I want all of you to be buried with my family!!!"
There was no reason for what he did. After saying this sentence, his whole person suddenly changed.
He threw himself directly into the magma pool at his feet.
This time it can be said that it once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
Because things have developed so far, there is absolutely no need to die.
Even if he is caught by Jiang Ran, he will just become a prisoner. Why are he so anxious to die?
And it wasn't just him who died.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Continuous sounds came from all directions of the formation network. Jiang Ran turned around and saw that the chains connecting the swords all broke out of thin air.
His face turned pale for a moment.
The Tiangang Earth Evil Formation on the magma pool is closely related to the magma.
It has always been the case that one move affects the whole body.
If you make the slightest mistake, magma will erupt...
Now that these chains are broken and the formations are constantly being clashed, I am afraid that the entire magma pool will explode!
In fact, it is exactly as Jiang Ran thought.
After the chain was disconnected, the originally calm magma pool under the feet began to boil, and magma kept erupting.
Tang Huayi's expression changed and she quickly shouted:
"Come here quickly!!"
"Just come."
How could Jiang Ran not know that now was a critical moment?
He just glanced down at the position where the old man fell, then grabbed Ruan Yuqing, held the thrower with one hand, and rushed towards where Tang Huayi and others were.
When the old man destroyed the formation network, he completely destroyed the formation.
Therefore, Jiang Ran does not need to follow the formation trajectory now.
Anyway, this formation is full of holes now, and there is no time to worry about regular explosions.
He stepped directly on the Heavenly Stem for nine steps, his body transformed into nothingness, and he arrived in front of Tang Huayi in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Dao Wuming and others were already evacuating eagerly, looking back to see if Jiang Ran could get out of trouble.
Tang Huayi does not retreat but advances, wishing he could go up to meet him.
It wasn't until Jiang Ran's figure landed next to her that she felt relieved:
"Go, go, go!!"
Jiang Ran looked back and saw that the entire formation was collapsing, and the platform in the middle, together with the coffin, was sinking into the magma pool.
There was some regret in his heart. He was quite interested in the 'sadness' that was nailed to the coffin lid.
Unfortunately, it’s gone.
He and Tang Huayi immediately ran towards where they came from.
The corridor that Tang Huayi and others came through was a winding corridor. Although it was not too spacious, it was many times better than the previous robbery cave.
The group of people performed Qinggong and went all the way up.
When he ran to the hall where Feng Wu was found earlier, he stopped for a moment.
Looking back, I can see that the magma has not continued to rise, so it is considered safe.
Jiang Ran let out a breath, let go of Ruan Yuqing, and dropped the thrower.
The child, who was still very energetic and jumping up and down before, was now weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye after being put down by Jiang Ran.
He reluctantly curled up on the ground, finally closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
He actually died!
Everyone looked around and were speechless for a moment.
The meaning of Tang painting is unobstructed:
"Did you crush him to death?"
"...Can I commit the crime?"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to explore, and shook his head slightly:
"He is indeed dead...and, looking at his appearance, he has actually run out of gas a long time ago."
Everyone fell silent again.
Dao Wuming sighed:
"Jin Ling Yin Xian was a famous figure in the world back then, but he ended up with such a miserable end... It's really sad."
"Golden Bell and Silver Thread?"
Jiang Ran glanced at Dao Wuming in surprise:
"Who is this again?"
Dao Wuming explained it to him.
After listening to what Dao Wuming said about the Golden Bell and Silver Thread, the context of the whole matter was completely revealed.
As he had guessed before, these two people really surrendered to the imperial court for the sake of Luo Xingzhu.
Only later did things happen to seek elixir for the late emperor.
As a result, it is unclear whether they found the elixir or not.
But he found the most tragic thing in the history of the Eighteen Heavenly Demons.
This also resulted in tragedy for their family and countless people who passed by this place over the past few years.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran glanced at Tang Huayi.
I thought that although this Tang Huayi was cute and cute, the devil's methods were still absurd and weird. They seemed careless, but in fact they were extremely cruel.
You must not really be bewitched by this little witch from the Demon Cult.
But thinking that everyone was running away just now, only Tang Huayi was still waiting for him even if the lava was in front of him...
For a moment, I felt a little complicated.
Tang Huayi didn't seem to notice Jiang Ran's eyes. She reached out and groped for a moment on Tu'er's body, and suddenly said softly:
"There is something."
He reached out and took it out, but it was a scroll.
She glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Feng Wu, the young master of Qifeng Villa, had a steel needle inserted into his brain by Mr. Silver Thread.
"Since this scroll was obtained from his son, there may be a way to save it..."
When Ning Jiuyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Mr. Silver Thread's death was so inexplicable that she had no time to get someone to help him untie the silver thread.
Now that we have another clue, it couldn't be better.
Subconsciously, he reached out to grab it, but he controlled himself:
"Young Master Li, can you show it to me?"
Tang Huayi said nothing and threw it to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran checked it briefly and made sure it was not poisonous, then slowly reached out and opened the scroll.
Following the traces and looking all the way down, Jiang Ran frowned slightly:
"Is this happening?"
"What's wrong?"
Ning Jiuyuan quickly asked: "Young Master Jiang, what is written on this?"
"Wrote a few things about the past."
Jiang Ran said softly:
"The official who came here back then was indeed from the Qintian Prison. Their purpose of coming here was to find 'Sorrow'.
"Golden Bell and Silver Thread were the first to find Sadness through their secret Feng Shui skills.
"However, he did not intend to hand it over to the late emperor, but instead killed the Qintianjian official who was leading it at that time.
"After beheading him, this matter will be over for them..."
When everyone heard this, they frowned at the same time.
After all, judging from this situation, what happened back then was definitely not trivial. It involved the life and death of the late emperor. How could he let it go so lightly?
Jiang Ran glanced at Dao Wuming:
"Here, he also wrote a sentence: "They will take care of everything in the court, so there will be no difference."
"them……"
Dao Wuming's expression changed, and he quickly came over to check:
"In this way, they did not act independently back then. There were others who colluded with them... These people even dared to plot against the late emperor. What exactly did they want to do?"
What exactly do you want to do...
This question was asked, but no one answered.
Even the emperor dares to design, what else can others think of?
Dao Wuming's eyes were a little hollow, as if he thought of something, but then he sighed:
"That's all, let's just let this matter go."
"I guess you thought of something."
Jiang Ran glanced at him with a strange expression.
"...Don't say it!"
Dao Wuming shook his head: "Even if you are in the world, don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"What I want to say is that I guess you are wrong."
"wrong?"
Dao Wuming was stunned, looked around, pulled Jiang Ran to the corner and asked in a low voice: "Why? Logically speaking, the late emperor was lingering on the sick bed, and the one who was least willing to let him... let him recover must be that person
Got it!"
Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"But if that's the case, that person must also know the secret of this place.
"Is there any reason to let it go?"
"..."
Dao Wuming was stunned, and suddenly felt that what Jiang Ran said was very reasonable.
Moreover, the current emperor loves the people as his own son, and if he really knew about Qiu Ciyi's affairs, he would not let it go, either publicly or privately.
Thinking of this, Dao Wuming immediately took a deep breath and felt like he was motivated again.
Jiang Ran patted him on the shoulder:
"However, if you really want to pursue this matter, you have to be careful with your head.
"Don't show any trace...
"Because, if that person did this, if you investigate him, you are seeking death.
"And if he hadn't done it...this group of people was hiding in the court, manipulating the life and death of the late emperor, and what they were planning was absolutely extraordinary.
"Anything you reveal may lead to death.
"Finally, you'd better keep silent about Qiu Ciyi's matter, and everyone can just pretend it didn't happen.
"Otherwise, it will involve the late emperor's scandal... Tian family's face, hehe."
Dao Wuming curled his lips:
"Why do you feel like you are more like an official than a young student?"
"I am well-informed."
Jiang Ran touched the Falling Star Bead in his arms and continued to read the scroll.
The content below is that they have not really found the greatest sorrow of all time here.
I just found the ‘method of refining sorrow’.
After studying hard, but repeatedly hitting the wall, Mrs. Jin Ling finally suggested that Mr. Silver Thread refine it into sadness.
It was from here that many records began to fall apart.
Jiang Ran estimated that Mr. Silver Line's spirit began to gradually collapse from here.
The subsequent records are chaotic and disorganized.
There are many records in which people have the intention to die, and want to die...but then the records just ignore him.
Jiang Ran guessed that maybe back then, when Mrs. Jinling's death became tragic and their son could only rely on Luo Xingzhu to survive in this world, Mr. Silver Thread no longer wanted to live.
It's just that he tried to be the most miserable person in the world, and ended up driving himself crazy.
Obsession gained the upper hand, and the thought of death was suppressed. It was only then that many years were wasted, and numerous murders were caused.
Looking further back, Jiang Ran also discovered Mr. Silver Line's years of research, and there was indeed a way to rescue Feng Wu.
Just as he was about to try to save people, he heard a voice slowly coming into the hall:
"Child Jiang Ran, come out and lead me to death!!"
