Jiang Ran and Yan Wushuang followed the man in black into the courtyard.
Pushing open the door, there was no one inside.
"There is a mechanism in the room."
Yan Wushuang glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran seemed to have already understood it, and went directly to the bookshelf on one side, caressing it inch by inch with two fingers.
Yan Wushuang was slightly stunned when he saw this, and stared at Jiang Ran in silence with his fingers raised.
Jiang Ran suddenly reached out and grabbed a book and pulled it suddenly.
This book is fake and contains diamond wire.
Now with a tug, the bookshelf suddenly opened, revealing a secret door hidden inside.
"Walk."
Jiang Ran took the lead and got into the secret passage.
Yan Wushuang followed him and asked softly:
"Could it be that what Jiang Daxia used just now is the legendary Seven Skills of Heavenly Craftsmanship?"
"..."
Jiang Ran was stunned, but he didn't expect that Yan Wushuang would see it, but he pretended to be silent:
“What is Qiqiao Tiangongshou?”
"It's a special skill..."
Yan Wushuang couldn't see Jiang Ran's face, but couldn't tell anything strange from his voice, so he explained:
"Although there are many types of mechanism techniques in the world.
"But in the final analysis, they often start from the source, and finally after their respective development, they are integrated into one by the master."
"The general trend of the world must divide and unite for a long time."
Jiang Ran had a strange expression.
"...Does it feel like a coincidence? But in fact, it is like this. Everything in the world always operates according to certain laws.
"And a master in the art of mechanism, he personally created the Twelve Heavenly Skillful Fenghuo Lanshan.
"The Seven Skills Heavenly Hands were also created by him... It is said that this is the basis for becoming a master of the machine."
"I see."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"But you misunderstood. I am not a skilled craftsman. I just noticed something was wrong with that book."
"kindness."
Yan Wushuang nodded: "Maybe I thought too much. It is said that it is extremely difficult to perfect the Seven Skills Heavenly Hand. It requires a lot of financial and material resources, and you have to spend half your life mastering this skill before you have a chance to achieve it.
"You are young and your martial arts skills are so good. There is no reason why you should spend so much energy on other arts...
"Well, it seems like we're going out ahead."
It's really time to go out.
The cold starlight broke into the secret passage through the gap in the door.
Jiang Ran carefully opened the door and stepped out, only to find that he and Yan Wushuang were no longer in Ziyue Villa.
Outside is a slightly empty forest.
This made Jiang Ran frown slightly.
In front of Yueshan Hall, the body of Taoist Wild Dog hangs there.
Dugu Xiong's speculation actually doesn't have much of a problem. Even in Jiang Ran's opinion, there should be a secret passage at Yueshan Hall.
So tonight he discovered that the man in black who stole the Jiaowei Qin was familiar with the secret passages of Ziyue Villa, and he was quite looking forward to it. Maybe he could use this to find the hub of the secret passages beneath Ziyue Villa.
But I didn't expect that this secret tunnel was so untechnical that it was dug directly from Ziyue Villa to the outside of Ziyue Villa...
Yan Wushuang compared the marks on the ground and pointed in the direction: "Over there."
"Walk."
Jiang Ran had no doubts.
The two people flew up, but within two seconds of rising and landing, they had already found traces of that person.
But that person is never far away now.
Or, they think this distance is enough.
Then he saw a man in black wearing a cloak sitting on a huge stone deep in the forest.
The man who stole the Jiaowei offered it up with both hands:
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
"kindness."
The cloaked man in black hummed a syllable softly, and then took the piano case with both hands:
"Did Jiang Ran notice it at all?"
"Never."
The person opposite shook his head slightly:
"It's hard to live up to his reputation. Do we think too highly of this person?"
"He is that person's disciple after all."
The voice under the cloak was vague and weird, and it was unclear whether it was a man or a woman:
"No matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful..."
"Then why not kill him?"
“There is a treasured sword in the world, it is extremely sharp, and it is like picking out an object from a bag.
"When you heard about this sword, you were frightened by its ability to take away heads, so you wanted to destroy it?"
"It won't happen!"
The person opposite smiled dumbly:
"Such a precious sword, of course I should keep it as my own."
"Jiang Ran is such a knife."
The man under the cloak said calmly:
"The higher his martial arts, the sharper this knife will be, and the more beneficial it will be to us...
"So, you can't kill it, you have to use it properly."
When Yan Wushuang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ran and grinned.
Jiang Ran's face was expressionless, but in fact he didn't feel any emotion at all. He felt that this kind of thing was normal.
As you walk around the world, it is inevitable that you will be taken advantage of.
Of course, it's up to others what they think, and the final outcome depends on one's own ability.
The man in black on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and finally clasped his fists:
"Been taught a lesson."
The man in black wearing a bamboo hat did not respond, but looked down at the Jiaowei Qin in his hand.
He breathed out lightly:
"In the past, this Qin was acquired by the Ye family, and someone once suggested that we should take it back.
"It's a pity that the adults were too busy planning things back then. There is still some use for this piano to be left in the Ye family, so it has been postponed until now..."
"Now the Lord of the Ghost Mansion is seriously injured.
"Shi Pingzhang has been sent to Liguo...
“Jiang Ran’s tea-tasting and musical instrument gathering almost took away everyone’s attention.
"But I didn't expect that he would secretly hide Jiao Wei...
"If I hadn't seen him and Jingtan layman coming all the way to Ziyue Villa.
"Even we may be deceived by him, which is extremely rare."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the man in black opposite:
"Back off."
The man in black was silent for a moment:
"Do you really want to try? Although the old Lord got that page of the Twelve Days Record, which contains a method to open the Jiaowei Qin.
"However, even his old man couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
"Then he was sent to Zuodaozhuang...
"On Sunset Ping, the young owner of the village was useless and died.
"Without this scapegoat, there is no reason for you to take risks yourself."
"Jiaowei is of great importance to us, and now we can no longer delay it.
“Every minute of delay brings more danger.
"Although the sword is good, it may hurt you. After all, you have to get Jiaowei in your palm before he notices it.
"This risk must be taken after all, not to mention that the twelve-day secret record that the old lord personally found will definitely not be wrong... Retreat!"
"yes!"
The man had no choice but to agree, and in a flash, he came behind the black cloak.
At this point, the black cloak just started playing the piano.
And the rhythm he played was indeed 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu, Yu Shang Jiao Gong Zheng.'!
Seeing this, Jiang Ran let out a sigh of relief.
The method of playing the piano that the young village owner obtained turned out to be from them.
Yan Wushuang opened his mouth wide.
She had begun to wonder if this was really Jiaowei.
Didn't it say that the burnt tail cannot be played?
Why can this person play?
Where did they find the twelve-day secret?
Old Lord...could it be said that they are?
As he was thinking in his mind, he saw every syllable of the black cloak pop out, and the extremely sharp sound waves spread in all directions.
The surrounding trees and ground made explosive sounds from time to time.
As he finished playing the last note.
Then a click was heard.
A secret compartment had been opened on one side of Jiaowei, and a man in a black cloak reached out and groped inside the box.
It could be seen that he was a little nervous at this moment.
So much so that the hand was trembling slightly.
The eyes of the man in black standing behind him were also full of excitement:
"It actually opened!"
Just as he said this, he saw that the black cloak had taken out an iron piece from the secret box.
The black cloak and the man in black focused their attention on the piece of iron at the same time.
I heard a voice slowly coming:
"You two are really in a good mood. You didn't sleep at night, but you are here listening to the piano and enjoying the moon...
"However, if I read it correctly, this piano...should be mine, right?"
The two people who were looking down at the content on the iron plate were shocked at the same time.
The black cloak glanced at the man in black subconsciously.
The man in black suddenly raised his head and looked into the darkness of the forest.
Jiang Ran led Yan Wushuang slowly out of the darkness step by step, and chuckled:
“This piano has been in my hands for a long time, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone able to open the hidden compartment inside.
"Here, Jiang would like to thank two friends from Tianshangque for their help."
Yan Wushuang, who was beside him, suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
She had already made a guess when she heard the man in black say "Old Lord".
Now that I heard Jiang Ran say the three words "Tian Shang Que" with my own ears, I knew that there was no longer any chance of being spared.
On this trip, he had indeed inserted himself into the muddy waters of Jiang Ran and Tianshangque for no reason.
This is definitely not a good thing for myself and the Baizhen Society.
Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Jiang Ran.
After Jiang Ran noticed her gaze, he chuckled:
"By the way, I haven't introduced you to you yet. This is Yan Wushuang, the vice-president of the Baizhen Association, and Yan Huitou."
"..."
Just now, Yan Wushuang was not sure whether Jiang Ran was deliberately plotting against him.
After saying this sentence, Yan Wushuang completely understood.
Ever since Jiang Ran handed Ximen Feng over to him, he has been plotting against himself.
He had long suspected that Tian Shang Que wanted to target Jiao Wei... and he would definitely follow him because of Ximen Feng's words.
At that time, he can use Baizhenhui to deal with Tianshangque.
I have fallen into Jiang Ran’s trap!
The really fatal part is that even if she knew she had been fooled, it was already too late.
"It turned out to be Yan Huishou..."
The voice under the black cloak was slightly helpless:
"Young Master Jiang, you played a good game of chess."
"I'm not good at chess. I only know how to fish. My methods are crude and make you laugh."
Jiang Ran shook his head gently: "It's just that I never thought that I could see you so easily tonight. Speaking of which, I haven't asked you two yet, which one of the two, five, and three tribes is it?
?”
The Tiantian Tower has a rigorous structure.
Below the self-respecting Lord, there are two deities on the left and right.
There are five gates of red, black, blue, and white, and three divisions of Fengyunlei.
That day, there were Yunmen stationed outside Cangzhou Mansion, which almost caused a catastrophe.
Jiang Ran suspected that Tianshangque had a plot against Jiao Weiqin, but it was actually a long time ago.
The reason why Shi Pingzhang knew that Jiao Weiqin would be at Hongfeng Villa was because Tianyue's right lord abandoned Tianyue.
Later, Jiaowei fell into Jiang Ran's hands.
Masters from various schools and sects in the world all want to obtain this piano.
As a result, the instigator, Tian Shang Que, did not respond at all.
No matter how he thought about it, Jiang Ran felt that they would not give up, and finally cast doubt on Guan Jinqiu.
Of course, this is just a suspicion, after all, there is no proof.
But now it seems that although the letter may not have been written to Guan Jinqiu personally, Tianshangque did use this person to try to get the Jiaowei Qin.
The most important person in this.
Naturally, it was Meng Huan, the owner of Ziyue Villa.
He and Guan Jinqiu have been married for many years, and it is not difficult to use Guan Jinqiu's name to invite Gu Xizhi and Jingtan layman...
Especially after the incident at the Setting Sun Clan was exposed, he immediately claimed to be ill and could not come out.
It was almost obvious that he had words carved on his forehead, clearly stating that he had colluded with the Setting Sun Sect.
How could Jiang Ran not doubt him?
You need to know...what is the foundation of the Setting Sun Sect.
It is the Shifting Stars and Yisu Heaven Killing Demon Technique in the Eighteen Heaven Demon Record.
Before the emergence of the Setting Sun Sect, there had never been any trace of this sect's magical power in the East County Mansion.
Now the Heavenly Palace has come, the Setting Sun Gate has come, and the magic power has come as well.
How could Jiang Ran ignore this?
Isn’t it the same for Feiyun Mountain, Feiyun Village, and Li Feiyun?
When the people from Tianshangque arrived at Cangzhou Mansion, they brought the Blood Cauldron Sutra recorded by the Eighteen Heavenly Demons.
The numbers of the two are exactly the same.
Therefore, what Jiang Ran wanted to tell Tang Huayi before the dinner was that he planned to find Meng Huan.
Regardless of whether he is the master of the Setting Sun Sect or not.
Once you find this person, you can directly solve all the mysteries in front of you as quickly as possible.
But he didn't expect Taoist Wild Dog to die suddenly.
This made Jiang Ran certain that the Setting Sun Gate or Tianshang Tower was indeed within Ziyue Villa.
If their goal is really Jiao Weiqin, then maybe they don't need to go to Meng Huan themselves at all, they will come to him personally.
What happened was that the first person to come in the evening was Yan Wushuang.
Come back later... and then you have a real ‘distinguished guest’.
Now that the distinguished guest is on top of Daozu, Jiang Ran, as the 'host', naturally has to show up to see him.
Facing Jiang Ran, the man in black just shook his head gently:
"I have nothing to say to you."
"Didn't you say it well before? It has solved a lot of doubts for me..."
Jiang Ran smiled slightly:
"You are planning Hongfeng Villa not for Jiao Weiqin.
"But he used Jiao Weiqin as a bargaining chip to plot against the master of Wuxingui Mansion...
"Shi Pingzhang once told me that he and several other masters joined forces to seriously injure the palace master.
"But even so, they themselves paid a huge price.
"As a result, there was internal chaos in the Wuxin Ghost Mansion, and a group of demons and monsters appeared in the world to do evil.
"And now that the Jiaowei Qin has been turned into my hands, the stable Thirteen Gangs have become no longer stable...
"You insist on muddying up the muddy waters of the rivers and lakes. What is your purpose?
"I sincerely ask for advice. I hope you two can help Jiang Mou clear up his doubts."
When Yan Wushuang heard this, she gave up the idea of turning around and leaving.
What should be heard and what should not be heard has been heard now.
There is no way for me to stay out of it...
But, it turns out that the master of Wuxin Ghost Mansion was seriously injured and missing?
No wonder there have been rumors in the world recently that there are some old demons who have not been seen for many years, but they have been showing up at every turn these days.
Although it is just a small flame now, if no one pays attention to it, I am afraid that this chaos will still be on top of the turmoil of the Thirteen Gangs.
As for the Thirteen Gang's affairs, how could Yan Wushuang not know about it?
As Jiang Ran said, the chaos in the world has begun!
And the source of all this comes from the heavenly palace in front of us.
The black cloak looked at Jiang Ran who was so close and suddenly sighed:
"You shouldn't have come."
"..."
Jiang Ran thought for a while and felt that he should respond to the scene.
Just thinking about it, I feel a little embarrassed:
"Speak directly if you have something to say."
"I don't want to kill you."
There was regret in the black cloak's tone, and he glanced at the iron piece in his hand:
"The Jiaowei Qin...is one of the Twelve Heavenly Skills.
"I know you are the descendant of the Nine Jingshen Blades.
"If it weren't for Jiao Weiqin, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your match.
"But now, since I have Jiaowei, you are no match for me.
"The problem is that I can't be merciful...so once I do it, you will die.
"Therefore, you shouldn't come tonight.
"I don't want to kill you...that's the truth.
"The usefulness of your life is far greater than that of a dead person."
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment:
"After listening to what you said tonight, I am also thinking about how I will be used by you.
"As far as Jiaowei is concerned, I have made the best use of everything by holding the tea tasting and piano appreciation party on Sunset Ping.
"I killed Gu Renlong, and the chaos of the Thirteen Gangs is just around the corner...
"But you still think I'm useful.
"Then it seems that my use can only be for that one purpose."
"...Which place?"
Yan Wushuang couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran said softly:
“The first time we fought in Cangzhou Prefecture was where Tiantian Que was.
"The second key point, and the one that must use me, should naturally be Jinyang Mansion.
"Because if nothing goes wrong, my master is right there.
"It is said that Qi Tianyue is also there.
“And these two places, one is adjacent to Liguo.
"The other place...is bordering Qingguo.
"Tian Shang Que, do you want to start another chaotic war among the Five Kingdoms?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole body of the black cloak suddenly trembled.
Sighing softly:
"I'll leave you alone!"
The next moment, he muttered something:
"Hit both sides first and the tail...
"Click the piano body three more times...
"Finally, hold on to Gong Shangyu's third string...try your best and never regret it!"
"Jiang Ran, you should feel honored. You are the first person to really die under the Jiaowei Qin in these years."
At this point, the three strings in his hand have been stretched to the extreme.
Yan Wushuang's hair stood on end.
He wanted to dodge, but was held tightly by Jiang Ran.
The next moment, the strings loosened and it started buzzing!!
Three buzzes sounded together, and the black cloak was splashed with three puffs of blood, and the whole person was broken into three sections.
