In the forest, Jiang Ran picked up the head of the young village owner and looked at it carefully.
Then I heard a whirring sound and something flew over.
Jiang Ran ignored it and the thing fell next to the body of the young village owner.
This is also a human head.
"What are you looking at?"
Tang Huayi's voice reached his ears.
Jiang Ran spoke softly:
"It's hurt."
There were several wounds on the head of the real young master in his hand.
The young owner of the village dispersed Jiang Ran's ghosts and spirits with the divine power of heaven's will, causing his whole body to be covered in bruises.
Naturally, it is also inevitable on the face.
"Then use this one on the ground?"
Tang Huayi came forward and saw that the head on the ground was the stand-in for the young village owner just now.
When Jiang Ran came to see the young village owner, he also brought this head with him.
"never mind."
Jiang Ran shook his head: "What is true cannot be faked, what is false cannot be true, and one cannot really treat the people of the imperial court as nothing more than a loser.
"Well, have Dao Wuming and the others arrived?"
"Here we are, together with the people from Blood Knife Hall, we are surrounding Zuodaozhuang."
When Tang Huayi said this, he glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Actually, I don't think there's any need to go to a lot of trouble, right?
"After today's battle, you can already get Jiaowei justifiably... Why bother?"
"There is something that concerns me more."
Jiang Ran said while taking out a bottle from his arms.
The things inside were not too unfamiliar to Tang Huayi.
Save effort.
This is a good medicine that destroys corpses and eliminates traces.
It can destroy every bit of the corpse.
But before throwing this thing on the young owner of the village, Jiang Ran searched his body from top to bottom.
Not much was found.
Three to five taels of broken silver, a hundred and ten taels of silver notes, a bottle of detoxifying pills, and nothing else.
Jiang Ran squatted and watched for a while, frowning slightly.
"What are you looking for?"
Questions about the meaning of Tang paintings.
Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly fell on her:
"In Wenxiang Lin, the leader of your demon sect showed up and gave the young village master a token with the word 'freedom' written on it.
"What is the use of this token?
"Your leader said this is a token... What is it used for?"
"Oh, you're looking for it."
Tang Huayi suddenly realized, then shook his head slightly:
"You are talking about the 'Demon Order of Freedom'. In our Demon Cult, this is indeed a very important token.
"You can mobilize the Seven Emotions Hall, Six Desire Hall, Wen Xin Zhai and other series belonging to the Demon Sect.
"The leader gave this thing to Zuo Daozhuang?"
After speaking, she was quite surprised.
Jiang Ran glanced at her in disbelief:
"You really don't know?"
"I have been by your side since the beginning of Cangzhou Mansion. What can I know?
"Right now, I'm like a kite that was flown out by them, and the string has been cut off... In order not to make you suspicious, I'm not even allowed to have any contact with you.
"Last time the leader showed up in Wenxianglin, I planned to meet him, but this old guy actually avoided seeing him. It's simply unreasonable."
When Tang Huayi said this, he felt a little indignant.
Jiang Ran noticed that when the girl talked about the leader of the Demon Cult, she didn't seem to have much respect.
Can't help but smile:
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, what are your and Tang Shiqing's identities in this demon sect?"
"Then our status is quite high!"
Tang Huayi raised her head proudly: "We are the saints of the Demon Sect, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!"
"With all due respect, I didn't see it..."
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while. With such a faithful saint, the defeat of the demon sect was not unjust.
"You look down on me?"
Tang Huayi rolled her eyes at him: "Believe it or not."
Jiang Ran ignored her and began to think about another issue.
Why did the leader of the Demon Cult give the Demonic Order of Freedom to the Young Master?
The purpose of the young village owner's appearance in Benma County was to find Duandongliu, but he got the Order of the Demon of Freedom.
According to the leader of the Demon Cult, Duan Dongliu is most likely in Jinyang Mansion.
So is there any relationship between the two?
Now that the Demonic Order of Freedom has disappeared... to whom did the Young Master hand it over?
Is it the owner of Zuodaozhuang? Or... someone else?
After making some calculations in his mind, he spent all his energy on the body of the young village master.
The body was completely destroyed.
"From this moment on, Man Shengming and Jiao Weiqin's whereabouts are unknown.
"Become a legend in this world again...
"Many people will try their best to look for it, but unfortunately, no matter what, they can't find it."
"Let's just say you went through a lot of trouble. What do you care about?"
Tang Huayi looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and said:
"Because so far, the instigator of the whole thing has not yet appeared."
"So, you plan to drag yourself from the bright side to the dark side?"
The meaning of Tang paintings is thoughtful.
"Let's go back."
Jiang Ran just smiled, turned around and left.
"Wait for me, tell me first, what exactly do you think."
Tang Huayi quickly caught up.
Of course, Jiang Ran did another thing before leaving.
Just destroy the fake Jiaowei Qin.
…
…
On Sunset Ping, the battle has stopped at this time.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Ran dropped a net on Sanxian Mountain today.
Finally, when the young owner of the village left with Jiao Weiqin, it was time to put the net away.
There is the Blood Sword Hall, where Dao Wuming and others are looking from the outside in, and then there are the martial arts masters on Sunset Ping, who are looking from the inside out.
Naturally, none of the fish in the net can escape.
Now, there are corpses everywhere on Sunset Ping.
There are those who are on the right path, and there are those who are on the left.
There are also many evil heretics who were seriously injured and restrained, as well as those who wanted to defect in the face of battle, betraying the so-called right path of chivalry.
Dao Wuming led a group of masters who came from nowhere and were counting their heads.
Xuanyuan Yidao is relatively busy.
Not only did he have to lead the disciples of the Blood Sword Hall to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded, he also had to collect the corpses of the disciples of the Blood Sword Hall.
However, after this battle, the reputation of Blood Knife Hall will definitely improve again.
After the battle of Sunset Ping, the seating arrangements of these Thirteen Gangs will also undergo earth-shaking changes.
First of all, Benleitang will probably decline after this battle.
The main hall patron is Gu Renlong, the second hall master is Dong Huaizong, and the third hall master is Chi Lin.
He was beaten to death by Jiang Ran one after another.
Although Benlei Hall is not limited to these three hall masters, there are also other masters who serve as pillars.
But compared with these three, it is obviously far behind.
Even if a lot of disciple power remains, it will be difficult to create big waves.
Such strength is not enough to continue to be one of the Thirteen Gangs.
There will definitely be a vacant seat.
Secondly, the Luohua Yanyu Alliance tried to make a trick, but Jiang Han himself was caught.
Now he was being attacked by a disciple of the Blood Knife Hall. Several knives were pressed against his chest and back, and the acupuncture points on his body were tapped again and again, without giving him any chance to take advantage of them.
I can only sit aside and say nothing.
As for what will happen to the Luohua Yanyu Alliance after this incident, it still depends on how Jiang Ran deals with this person.
Put these things aside for now.
When Jiang Ran came back with Tang Huayi, Ruan Yuqing, Gu Shengyan and others were surrounding a golden cauldron, banging:
"Are the people inside still alive?"
There was no movement at all inside.
Several people looked at each other, then one of them grabbed the leg of a golden cauldron, flew up, and at the same time used force to pull the big cauldron out of the ground.
There was a crash, and countless dust was raised.
Inside, Jin Sanding, who was short and short in stature, was already as angry as a gossamer and his face turned purple...
If it had been a little later, he would probably have been suffocated to death.
He has been playing with tripods all his life. This golden tripod is not only his weapon, but also his treasured clothing, and also his daily necessities, food, housing and transportation.
But he never dreamed that it would almost become his coffin in the end.
But after this person opened his eyes, his first reaction was to look around:
"Ms. Wu..."
After his reminder, Jiang Ran subconsciously searched around:
"Where's Madam Wu?"
Jiang Ran's impression of this person was quite profound.
After all, the first time I saw her, the scene where she used a centipede to kill people and finally emerged from the human body was quite shocking.
Ruan Yuqing glanced at Jiang Ran and said:
"This guy...I did notice it.
"She seems to have been kidnapped."
"Taken away?"
Jiang Ran was stunned: "Who was kidnapped?"
"By a young man."
Gu Shengyan said quickly: "I saw it. The young man seemed to have taken a liking to Mrs. Wu. After finally taking down Mrs. Wu, he just carried her and ran away without looking back."
"It's okay not to look back!"
Jiang Ran was also surprised and asked others if anyone had noticed this young man's appearance? Do they know him?
The results obtained are all unclear, unknown, and unseen.
But one thing is certain.
This man has good martial arts skills. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to occupy a seat on Sunset Ping today.
Secondly, this person should also be proficient in poison techniques.
Otherwise, when faced with someone like Madam Wu, it would be too late to hide, so how could she just run away carrying her?
Finally, Jiang Ran called Xuanyuan Yidao, and after some questioning, he found that a disciple of the Blood Sword Hall had indeed seen them.
At first, I thought it was a demon from Zuodaozhuang, so I tried to stop him.
As a result, the young man didn't know what to do, leaving several disciples of the Blood Knife Hall unable to move.
Then he escaped and ran away.
It's been a long time since we left, and if we try to catch up, we probably won't be able to catch up.
Jiang Ran called these people for a little investigation and found that each of them had some traces of medicinal residue in their bodies.
It is certain that this person is indeed proficient in poison.
Since he can't catch up, he's not on the same road as Zuodaozhuang, and not many people know him.
Jiang Ran did not intend to continue to delve into this person's situation.
As for his kidnapping of Lady Wu, it was probably not for sex... Although Lady Wu is good-looking, she shouldn't be to the extent that people would be interested in her.
Jiang Ran thought that since this person was good at poison, he might have taken a fancy to Mrs. Wu's ability to drive away poisonous insects.
Of course, Jiang Ran didn't know what the specific purpose was, and it was just a guess now.
Afterwards, he told everyone present that he had not found Man Shengming.
Zuodaozhuang should have another plan... Man Shengming's life or death is unpredictable, so everyone needs to work together to search the surroundings.
After everyone listened, they were immediately obliged!
Some people do it purely for the sake of benevolence and righteousness, some people listen to what others say, and some people have secret calculations in their hearts.
What if they found Man Shengming first, and Man Shengming happened to be seriously injured.
Wouldn't it be perfect to kill Man Shengming, steal the Jiaowei Qin, hide it secretly, and then come back to look for it after the incident is over?
In fact, sometimes, the so-called chivalrous way is not all chivalrous people.
Some things are about the mind but not the traces, and some things are about the merits but not the heart.
The so-called chivalry is often the latter.
Regardless of whether it is for fame or fortune, at least on the surface, if someone does something chivalrous, they are a chivalrous person.
In the future, for their own purposes, they will do something harmful to nature, that is, they will make mistakes and fall into the evil way...
People's hearts are unpredictable. Who can say that this world has always been black and white?
Then everyone searched for it for seven days.
After seven days, there was basically no one on Sanxian Mountain.
With their large numbers, they plowed almost the entire Sanxian Mountain in these seven days.
As a result, I couldn't find even one of the famous clothing corners.
It disappeared so cleanly.
Therefore, various rumors started to spread.
Some people say that Man Shengming was greedy for Jiao Weiqin, and that he and Zuo Daozhuang were both in the same group. Jiang Ran entrusted Jiao Weiqin to Man Shengming, and he was like a meat bun who beat a dog and never looked back.
Some people also say that the Jiaowei Qin may have fallen into the hands of Zuodaozhuang. After all, Manshengming disappeared so simply that the traces were probably erased artificially, and the only one who can do this is Zuodaozhuang.
.
Therefore, it is speculated that the Zuodaozhuang disciples who chased Man Shengming killed Man Shengming, took away the Jiaowei Qin, destroyed the body and destroyed the traces, thereby disturbing the sight.
In addition to these two speculations, there are various theories that are also popular.
Man Shengming stumbled and fell off a cliff, Man Shengming became an immortal and soared, Man Shengming somersaulted and flew thousands of miles away... He had already reached the top of the sea of clouds, guarding Jiaowei for the rest of his life...
They say everything, but they are becoming more and more unreliable.
But in this scene, everyone felt that the most miserable person was Jiang Ran.
He has clearly won the first place in the tea tasting and piano appreciation competition.
In terms of martial arts, he is extremely skilled. Fighting two gang leaders alone is like an old father beating an unfilial son.
What about the Four Evil Sect? One by one, they didn't even organize a decent resistance.
Only Shenzong Boyan escaped because he ran too fast.
Even the young owner of the village is not Jiang Ran's enemy.
After this battle, everyone knew that there was an untouchable knife hunter in the world.
He has great martial arts skills and superb piano skills. It is already a certainty who will win the prize of Jiaowei Qin.
As a result, with Zuo Daozhuang's interference, the Jiaowei Qin that he finally got his hands on grew wings and flew away.
There are people who gloat about misfortune for a moment, there are people who have had similar experiences, and there are people who feel the same way.
There are also those who are watching the excitement and don't mind the big deal. They want to see if Jiang Ran, in his anger, will directly go to Zuodaozhuang and pick on this Jianghu force that has been doing wrong for hundreds of years.
As a result, after everyone watched for a long time, they discovered that Jiang Ran returned to Qifeng Villa and never came out after failing to find him in Sanxian Mountain.
Little does he know that at this moment, he is in a secret room in Qifeng Villa.
Jiang Ran took Tang Huayi with him, and Ruan Yuqing and others stepped aside from a distance.
In the middle of the secret room, Jin Sanding wished he could break his back teeth and tried to raise his head to look at Jiang Ran:
"You...you are despicable and shameless!!
"Even if I die, I will never let you go as a ghost!!"
Jiang Ran nodded:
"If you really die and turn into a ghost, you must come to me and let me open my eyes. I can also go and find out if there is a way to cultivate immortality in this world.
"But for now, you'd better play the piano first."
The harp is naturally the Jiaowei harp.
Let Jin Sanding flick the burnt tail, which is why Jin Sanding angrily scolded Jiang Ran.
Everyone knows that Jiaowei cannot be flicked lightly. Although there is a huge secret inside, no one can open it. Therefore, there is nothing they can do.
As a result, after Jin Sanding was brought back from Sanxian Mountain by Jiang Ran, he told him that he could open Jiaowei.
But I have to ask him for a favor.
Jin Sanding was naturally unwilling to help, because if he was not careful with this task, his life would be lost.
But how could Jiang Ran allow him to refuse?
He directly painted one of his arms with the wrath of the King of Hell, and then broke his arm with him.
Trick him in different ways.
Jin Sanding had never suffered such a crime in his life, so he could only agree with tears.
Of course, just agreeing is not enough.
Jiang Ran had to ask him to play those syllables clearly.
This took most of Jiang Ran's time.
Jin Sanding was actually pretty good at martial arts, but he knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Jiang Ran taught the five tones of Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu for five hours.
Later, it was only under the intimidation of the King of Hell that he made rapid progress.
Then when he played the harp, he was also wrong.
It took several days to finally understand the ten tones before and after.
But even so, when he saw Jiao Wei right in front of him, and when he saw Jiang Ran and his group hiding at the door of the secret room, they seemed ready to run away if there was even the slightest abnormality.
Jin Sanding's heart was still filled with despair.
And just when he was about to drop his finger, he suddenly looked at Jiang Ran:
"You can also let me play the piano...Can you do something for me?"
"……What's up?"
"Find Mrs. Wu and ensure her safety."
When Jin Sanding said this, his face turned red from suppressing his emotions. He took a deep breath and said, "As long as you promise me, I will play the piano!"
Jiang Ran frowned and looked at a pop-up prompt.
[Knife-catching mission: Find Mrs. Wu and ensure her safety!]
【Accept?】
This thing has really been a long time coming.
He nodded immediately: "Okay, I promise you."
He said casually and closed the task interface.
The previous experience told him that knife-catching tasks are often very tricky.
So he didn't intend to take it.
Jin Sanding was happy to hear Jiang Ran's promise and no longer hesitated. After taking a deep breath, he moved his fingers slightly... and the sound of the piano suddenly sounded.
Gong Shang Jiao Zheng, Yu Shang Jiao Gong Zheng!
After several days of hard practice, I finished ten syllables in one go.
And as this syllable came out, there were already ten more cracks in the secret room.
Jin Sanding looked at Qin in front of him in a daze, and then at himself...
"I'm alive……"
As soon as these four words fell, a click was heard.
On the side of Jiaowei, a small hidden grid popped up.
