A look of confusion flashed across the eyes of the 'young village master'.
But Jiang Ran didn't intend to answer his question.
At the same time, when Xuanyuan sent out the fireworks with his sword, fierce shouts of killing suddenly came from the entire Sanxian Mountain.
Jiang Ran had not lied before.
The entire Blood Knife Hall has surrounded Sanxian Mountain.
Although the main place to be surrounded is around Sunset Ping.
But today, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Luohua Yanyu League or Zuodaozhuang.
In fact, Jiang Ran and the others put it in intentionally.
Now, as the fireworks signal was released, the Blood Knife Hall disciples who had curled up in one place immediately connected into a network and began to close the circle from the outside in.
I heard Xuanyuan Yidao laughing wildly:
"My mentor has known for a long time that there is no other possibility for you except death today!!"
"Is the Blood Knife Hall gone out in force?"
"Jiang Ran has already made arrangements?"
"Hurry up and kill them. The lunatics from Blood Knife Hall will rush up soon. I'm afraid they won't have our share!"
"Don't panic. Blood Knife Hall disciples often win with more, but their martial arts skills are not as good as ours. If they can join forces, we can do it. We must kill a few more before them."
Although the people in Zuodaozhuang all have extraordinary martial arts skills, there are indeed a large number of people on Sunset Ping. They can kill one or two, but it is impossible to kill everyone in a short time.
But now under the pressure of "Blood Knife Hall surrounds Sanxian Mountain", each one of them has used up all their strength.
Even if you kill one more person today, you can add a touch of glory to the world.
Jianghu...
Although it makes young people full of fantasy, it is also a huge fame and fortune fair.
The pursuit of fame and fortune is still the eternal core.
It's just that some people will do anything for fame, fortune and purpose.
He practiced evil martial arts and killed people at will, so he became an evil way.
And some people do upright things, save people from fire and water, practice upright martial arts, and this becomes the right path.
The current fight on Sunset Ping is a small microcosm of the entire world.
Whether it's for fame and fortune or because they are chivalrous, there is no change in what they want to do.
Just want to kill all Zuodaozhuang!
The 'young master of the village' was frightened and uneasy, and could no longer sit comfortably on the soft sedan chair.
One wrong move and everything is lost. I originally thought that planning to this point was the best strategy.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Ran was so perceptive that he not only saw through their tricks, but now... what really made him panic was that he didn't know what Jiang Ran wanted to do?
So, he had to do something.
But just when he got up, Jiang Ran's knife was already in front of him.
The sword is the Jingshen Nine Swords, and the move is not the fatal mark that Jiang Ran used before.
It is the most basic sword technique among the Nine Shocking Swordsmen.
As soon as the blade was unfolded, he was already in front of the 'young village owner'.
But the 'young village master' is not the young village master after all.
He rubbed his hands together, and his claws were sharp. Although the martial arts he used was the same as that of the young village master that night, he could no longer penetrate Jiang Ran's blade in an instant.
There was a flash of blood, and the 'young village master' felt severe pain in his wrist. When he lowered his head, he saw that half of the muscles and bones had been severed, and only skin and flesh were left on one hand.
His eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and only let out a muffled groan.
The remaining hand concentrated its internal strength and wanted to attack, but when he raised his head and looked into Jiang Ran's eyes, his heart felt cold.
Jiang Ran's eyes were full of disappointment.
Finally, with a slight sigh, the blades moved together, and the sky was filled with golden colors, shining brightly.
A flash of sword light suddenly slashed across, sharp, swift, and indescribably fast.
When the 'young master of the village' came back to his senses, he heard Jiang Ran shout:
"I'm going to help Manchu Daxia. With one blow, you can lead everyone to calm down the situation here as soon as possible!"
When he heard these words, a look of extreme astonishment suddenly flashed across the eyes of the 'young village master', followed by a movement in his heart, he vaguely caught something.
But before this thought extended, I felt that I was surrounded by endless darkness.
At this time, his head was casually removed by Jiang Ran.
…
…
Sanxian Mountain, in a cave.
Man Shengming was sitting cross-legged, with a guqin lying on his knees.
He reached out and gently touched the strings.
"Jiaoweiqin...Jiaoweiqin...I finally got you."
When he spoke now, his words did not stutter, and his voice became low and quiet.
It's completely different from before.
He reached out and lightly touched his face, and then he took off an extremely delicate human skin mask.
What was revealed was the face of the young village owner.
"Everyone knows that there is a secret hidden in Jiaowei.
"Once you get this secret, you can freely control Jiaowei.
"But no one knows how to open Jiaowei and how to find this secret.
"However, our Zuodaozhuang has been standing in the world for hundreds of years. Thirty years ago, we already found the method to open Jiaowei...
"Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu, Yu Shang Jiao Gong Zheng.
"Who would have thought that the way to open the Jiaowei Qin is hidden among these five strings?"
He lightly hooked his fingers, and the sound of the piano trembled slightly, and the first note was "Gong".
As soon as the sound of the piano sounded, even with the temperament of the young village owner, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He felt that the sound of the piano did not have any backlash, and he felt relaxed again, but he did not dare to neglect it.
Because the method of opening needs to be done in one go.
There cannot be any pause, otherwise, even if you just play a "gong" sound and pause for a breath, you will suffer backlash.
Immediately, with a flick of his fingers, the remaining syllables came out in one go.
From beginning to end, the sound of the piano never came back to bite me.
It wasn't until the last 'Zheng' sound fell that the young village owner looked nervously at the piano in his hand.
I looked at my heart again, and after making sure that nothing was wrong, I was completely relieved.
But after a moment, he raised his eyebrows again.
Although he himself is fine, this piano...hasn't seen any change at all.
"what happened?"
The young village master frowned and carefully picked up Jiaowei. He looked at it carefully and looked up and down. After looking at it for a long time, he could not see anything wrong.
There is no mechanism to open, no mystery to be derived.
"Could it be said that the secret of Jiaowei is that you need to play these few syllables first, and then you can play them freely?"
Thinking of this, the young village master's heart suddenly opened.
But the next moment, questions arise again:
"That's not right... Logically speaking, every time Jiao Wei plays, there should be a sound wave impact.
"How come after I played it again, nothing changed?
"Could it be...
"No, it's impossible!
"Who in this world can forge Jiaowei? That kind of thing is absolutely impossible..."
He took a deep breath, but his face was definitely not as calm as he said.
If this was Jiao Wei, the mechanism should have opened after he finished playing those few syllables.
If I had played it wrong, I should be dead by now.
But the fact is that he is not dead, the burnt tail is not opened, and nothing has changed.
This is wrong...this is definitely wrong!
But he didn't believe it that someone had forged Jiaowei.
The only person who can do such a thing is Jiang Ran...Jiang Ran came to Sunset Ping with a fake Jiaowei Qin?
What is the purpose of doing this?
The tea-tasting and piano-tasting conference... was held by himself.
He pretended to be Man Shengming and stayed by Jiang Ran's side. It has been a long time since we first met him.
There shouldn't be any flaws!
There is no reason for him to do this...
With this thought in his mind, he suddenly frowned and felt an uncontrollable itching rising from his throat, and couldn't help coughing.
One sound was followed by several sounds in succession.
The young village master's pupils suddenly shrank, something was wrong...
He has always been strong and strong, so why would he cough so violently for no reason?
And when the coughing got worse, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood sprinkled on the strings, and dripped on Jiao Wei's body.
"Jiaowei..."
The young owner tried hard to suppress his cough and subconsciously wiped the blood on Jiaowei with his sleeve.
Unexpectedly, under this rub, a large brown mark was wiped off the antique body of Jiao Wei.
Revealing the brand new body underneath...
The whole world seemed to be quiet at this moment.
Only a rumble and explosion came from the sky.
However, since the appearance of the 'Young Village Master' and the others, the rain cloud has finally broken out.
The rain was pouring at first, but slowly it became heavier and heavier.
The young village master looked at the piano in his hand intently, sighed, secretly took out a pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth.
I heard a sigh coming from the entrance of the cave:
"Young master, do you mind if I come in to take shelter from the rain?"
The young owner of the village was not too surprised when Jiang Ran walked into the cave. He just asked:
"How did you find me?"
"I made some tricks on the piano and added a little poison. Follow its lead and it won't be difficult to find you."
"This Jiaowei is fake...but you have shown it to others more than once. Could it be that those are also fake?"
The young owner of the village looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"Those are all true, only this one is false."
"What an ingenious fake... I've looked at the drawings many times since Sanshui County, but to my surprise, I've still been deceived."
The young owner of the village sighed, somewhat unwillingly.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"I am a person... I originally thought that my luck was very bad.
“If you are born with a disease, it cannot be cured.
"Master arranged a marriage, but it turned out that the fiancée's family were not good people.
"But now it seems that my luck is actually pretty good.
"I originally thought I wouldn't live past the age of twenty, but now I'm still alive and kicking.
"And just when I was thinking about how to bring a successful conclusion to this tea-tasting and piano-tasting event.
"It happened that I met a craftsman with extraordinary skills...I thought, you should know who he is."
"Ximen Feng..."
As expected, the young owner of the village knew it. He glanced at Jiang Ran:
"That fool, I'm afraid he's already taken care of you, right?"
"That's not the case."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"But he really hates you now, or in other words, he hates your Zuo Daozhuang.
"After all, it was you who tricked him into bringing 'Cheng Tianyang' to Qifeng Villa.
"This also makes me suspect that he colluded with you and joined forces to make a plan, and he was almost beaten to death by me..."
This incident happened in the second half of the night when Jiang Ran was introduced to the soul-destroying array.
After suffering such a big loss and having his sword skills broken, Jiang Ran naturally couldn't just let it go.
The root cause is that Ximen Feng's hands and feet were not clean. On the way, he encountered Zuo Daozhuang carrying a box. He felt that the contents in the box must be precious, so he took advantage of the chaos and stole it.
But the problem is, this thing is too coincidental.
Zuo Daozhuang was on his way late at night, why would he be discovered by Ximen Feng?
If Ximen Feng had not stolen this box, how could everything that followed have happened?
Therefore, Jiang Ran must have guessed that there must be human factors in this coincidence.
After using the King of Hell's Fury on Ximen Feng, Jiang Ran realized that Ximen Feng and the people from Zuo Daozhuang had known each other for a long time.
It's just that he knew Guizong Haidan.
And Haidan once performed a wave of chivalry and righteousness in front of him.
Although Ximen Feng has some skills, he is still a fledgling and has a simple heart.
I believe that hearing is false and seeing is true. When I see Hai Dan helping others, I will believe in him to the end.
Haidan told him that although Zuodaozhuang was criticized by others, there were still good people in it... He believed it.
Haidan told him again that Baizhen would gather the wealth of the world and take it from the people but not use it to the people. It seemed to be the right way, but in fact it was a treacherous thing... He also believed it.
Haidan also told him that if he wanted to change Zuodaozhuang, he could only rely on the young owner of the village. Unfortunately, the world misunderstood him too much. He spread rumors and destroyed his bones, but they didn't know that he had a chivalrous heart... He still believed it.
Therefore, he has been attacking Baizhenhui in the past few years.
Some of the stolen treasures were handled by himself, but more were handed over to people appointed by Haidan.
Hai Dan told him that the money obtained after the sale was used on people somewhere, and Ximen Feng felt that this work was not in vain.
And the reason why he attacked Zuo Daozhuang that night was because he heard this group of people discussing that this thing was stolen from the young village owner, and he must not let the young village owner succeed...
With Hai Dan's words in front of him, when Ximen Feng heard these words, he naturally wanted to steal the things back and return them to the young village owner without any hesitation.
As a result, what happened that night happened.
Jiang Ran actually told a lie just now, Ximen Feng is far stupider than imagined.
Even now, he still has not doubted Haidan.
I never doubted the young village owner.
It's just that Jiang Ran doesn't intend to tell the truth.
Besides asking him to imitate a Jiaowei, Jiang Ran didn't tell him anything else.
The young owner of the village shook his head gently at this time:
"Believe it or not, I didn't ask them to do that that night.
"Whether it succeeds or not, the chess piece Ximen Feng is far more useful than imagined.
"But using him against you...the risk is too great and it's not worth it."
"So, it's the Four Evil Sects who have made their own decisions."
Jiang Ran smiled and said: "So, you had to take the risk to show up and take away the Four Evil Sect from my hands... In fact, you can't break my sword skills at all."
"you guess."
The young owner of the village looked up at Jiang Ran.
Although he has been by Jiang Ran's side in a prestigious capacity these days, they have been together for a long time after all.
Therefore, he also knew that Jiang Ran liked the bad habit of making people guess.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"No need to guess, if you can defeat my sword skills, there is no need for you to leave that night.
"Kill me and Jiaowei is yours too, why go to all this trouble?"
"..."
The young master of the village sighed: "It seems easy to guess... The Nine Frightening Blades are the knot of my Zuo Daozhuang."
When he said this, he couldn't help but cough again.
At the same time, blue marks appeared on the arms under the clothes.
He slightly covered his sleeves to prevent Jiang Ran from noticing.
After this round of violent coughing ended, he looked at Jiang Ran:
"But you...but you still don't dare to confront me head-on.
"That's why you poisoned the piano.
"You're afraid...you're afraid that I can really break your sword skills!"
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"You are wrong, I poisoned you just because I was sure you couldn't break it.
"Otherwise, I will have to get back the confidence I lost that night from you."
"...Aren't you afraid? Did you guess wrong?"
"What does that matter?"
Jiang Ran spoke calmly.
"..."
The young owner of the village was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
For a moment he couldn't help laughing:
"It's a pity...it's a pity...
"If, if I could hold the real Jiaowei, you wouldn't have to worry about it... Why, why would Jiaowei fall into the hands of someone like you.
"Although I lost this battle, I still refuse to accept it... I can still fight you again..."
"Stop being ridiculous."
Jiang Ran waved his hand: "Go and die in peace. Do you know how much your head is worth if it is on the Sword Holder's list?"
"Of course I know."
The young owner of the village sneered: "Wen Yin... forty thousand taels!"
"It's good to know."
Jiang Ran smiled: "I'll just wait for you to die so that I can get rich."
"I have one more question..."
The young owner of the village looked at Jiang Ran:
"How on earth did you figure out my identity?"
"I thought you wouldn't ask."
Jiang Ran smiled and said: "Because I know that except for the first time, you were really hit by Qi Yin Jue Ming. Everything after that was all pretended by you... Your poison has been cured long ago.
"Then the question is, what you called the poisonous hair that night was really the result of the seven-yin-destroying pain that made you want to live.
"Or is it because you were injured by my sword energy that you don't dare to show up in front of me?"
"...But how could you possibly see that?"
The young village owner was even more confused.
"Because, I learned the Hundred Poisons Manual."
After Jiang Ran received the reward from Master Baidu, his first reaction was to go to Man Shengming and try to detoxify him.
It turned out that the man was not poisoned.
At that moment, Jiang Ran already knew that there was a big problem with Man Sheng Ren.
However, Jiang Ran didn't know his true identity at that time, so he remained calm.
Until the night of the Soul-Destroying Formation, he had obviously fought against the young owner of the village, and as a result, he became bedridden and became famous.
Then all of this is on the table.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran smiled softly:
"Isn't it about time that the pill you took earlier started to take effect?
