Waves of light rippled on the water surface, and sword energy flowed in all directions, one after another.
But this sword energy seems to be endless.
Although Master Youdao Que tried his best to stop his hand, the true energy released was like that of a married daughter.
Where can I control it?
But Jiang Ran suddenly raised his hand and heard the sound of a sword.
The sword energy of the Dayan Boundless Sword broke through the clouds and actually tore a hole in the air, revealing a hole, leaking out the starlight hidden behind it.
Seeing this, Master Daoque wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then cursed:
"Do you want to die?"
Jiang Ran looked up at the clouds above his head and exclaimed:
"The old Taoist priest was too confident and underestimated Jiang.
"This little thing is not fatal...
"But I heard that there is an unknown Taoist who practices the True Heart Sutra of Creation and Creation, and can split the Qinghai Sea and shatter half a sky of smoke with one sword.
“In the past I just thought it was a rumor.
“But now it seems that the rumors may not be false.
"Old Taoist priest, your sword energy is quite good."
"That's natural!"
When Dao Que heard this, his beard immediately shook, and he stood with his hands behind his back, with a proud posture:
"This Great Evolution Infinite Sword comes from creation..."
When he said this, he suddenly paused.
He glanced at Jiang Ran with an awkward expression.
Jiang Ran seemed to be smiling but not smiling:
"Keep talking."
"...Oh, oh, oh, I'm doing something wrong."
The old Taoist priest laughed dryly:
"You are such a cunning and hateful boy. You are deliberately trying to make fun of me."
"It is extraordinary to be able to comprehend the infinite true meaning from the True Heart Sutra of Creation.
"This is nothing to laugh about."
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly.
Master Dao Que doesn’t see it that way:
"How could it be so simple to be like Yu Wuxian?"
"Oh? I'm willing to ask for advice."
Jiang Ran clasped his fists slightly.
The old Taoist priest snorted and flicked his sleeves:
"You are willing to ask for advice, but I am not willing to teach you.
"Stop talking nonsense, why did you risk your life to save him?
"Do you know how cruel Pindao must be to be able to do this cruelly?"
"Using your fake good intentions?"
Daoyuan sneered.
"It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin..."
When Master Dao Que heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Jiang Ran said:
"There is no rush to kill him...this person still has a lot of uses.
"Well, let me ask you something first. Where did you learn the Blood Cauldron Sutra?"
"Of course I learned it from the hands of Tian Que."
Master Daoyuan didn't even think about it, he just sneered and said:
"If you have any questions, just ask me.
"As the saying goes, tell everything you know, and tell everything you tell...it's all untrue!"
"..."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"So, you really didn't get the Blood Cauldron Sutra from Tian Shang Que, you got it from somewhere else.
"These people promise you that as long as you listen to them, they can make you the leader of Daoyi Sect.
"So, today during the day, the old Taoist priests directed and performed a good show, so you would naturally think that it was them..."
"so what?"
Doyuan continued to sneer.
Jiang Ran nodded:
"You are quite arrogant...but it doesn't matter. There is nothing I can do to deal with arrogant people.
"Old Taoist priest, it's time for us to go back.
"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly think of the drama of fake death?"
"The Holy One told Pindao that he wants you to escort the eldest princess.
"But I didn't expect that the prince would suddenly make things difficult for you during the Shanhai Meeting... The Holy Master told Pindao that someone knew about this matter and was instigating it.
"The result is obvious. One of the three of us told the story.
"I don't know about the other two people, but as far as Pindao is concerned, Pindao only occasionally mentioned this matter to Daoyuan and others.
"In other words, if this matter is missed in one case.
"It can only be one of them."
When the old Taoist priest said this, he curled his lips:
"However, while I was alive, it was not impossible to find these people, but it was difficult.
"If a person has too high martial arts skills and too much prestige, it is not always a good thing.
"For example, Jiang Ran...you are now very skilled in martial arts and have a great reputation.
"But as a knife catcher, with such a great reputation, do you still have wanted criminals who dare to hang out in front of you?
"The same is true for poor Taoists...
"So you have to give them a chance.
"But this is a risky move, and I need someone to help me steer the Taoist Sect.
"So after much thought, I decided that the best candidate is you.
"Since the Holy One has told you that you will only tell the three of us about your escort of the eldest princess, you will definitely come to visit me.
"You will know what happens next."
And he curled his lips because Jiang Ran didn't follow his routine at all.
The original plan was shortened to just one day and one night.
Jiang Ran smiled and lifted up the Daoyuan:
"Old Taoist priest, when you go back, you will say that Daoyuan is dead."
"..."
Master Dao Que's heart moved:
"Aren't you going to reply?"
"I will take this man away... After you declare that Dao Yuan is dead, tell them that Dao Yuan left clues in the room before he died.
"You can find the other traitors in the door.
"But you are not in a hurry to find this traitor now.
"It's about giving them a chance. As long as they stand up and admit it, forget about the past.
"Otherwise, once you find out, I will be punished according to the sect's rules.
"Then tell them that if they are worried that their disciples will know about this matter and cause estrangement among their fellow disciples, they can go to you and confess to them at night.
"You only give them one day and one night.
"If after a day and a night, they still refuse to admit it, then don't blame you for being ruthless.
"You will be waiting in the room all day and night.
"After that, just go to Daoyuan's room and wait."
After Jiang Ran said casually, the old Taoist priest pouted:
"It's a small skill, you think I can't do it?
"Huh, you look down on me too much."
"That's true. Your majesty, the Imperial Master, naturally won't make a city that doesn't even have this little scheming."
"but……"
The old Taoist priest changed the subject:
"This strategy is too obvious, I'm afraid they will also notice it."
"If you notice it, notice it. Even if you notice it, there are only three ways left.
"First, as you said, I will go to you and confess.
"At that time, you only need to arrange someone next to your bedroom to see who comes to find you alone, and you will basically understand everything.
"Second, even though I know it may be a ruse, I still have to go to Doyuan's room.
"In this way, it just fell into your hands.
"The third rule is to quietly leave Dao Yizong when no one is around, and live freely in the world since then.
"And for this, you only need to express that Dao Yizong is temporarily allowed to enter and not leave. If you leave Dao Yizong without your order, it is equivalent to betraying the sect.
"If they still leave...
“Then it’s clear what its quality is.
"Of course, if I have to say it, there is a fourth way.
“This person needs to have the ability to see through everything, the temperament to endure, and the determination to remain unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain.
"At that time, he can naturally wait until you finish the scene.
"But if it's such a person, then let him continue to hide.
"We'll find a way to find him out later."
After hearing this, Master Daoque nodded repeatedly:
"It makes sense, it makes sense..."
"You are indeed worthy of being a senior fellow disciple of Daoyou Zhenren."
"..."
Master Dao Que suddenly felt a toothache.
After pondering for a while, he glanced at Jiang Ran and said softly:
"The person behind Daoyuan, do you seem to know something?"
Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this. After all, he couldn't regard Master Dao Que as just a disrespectful old fool.
After all, he is the imperial master of the dynasty.
If he doesn't even have this bit of acumen, then he's in vain.
However, Jiang Ran did not intend to elaborate on this matter, and just said:
"What do real people think?"
"I thought it was bullshit!"
Master Dao Que rolled his eyes at him:
"You like to talk but not to talk...If you don't talk, you will be defeated.
"However, Qingyuan said that he and you felt like old friends at first sight, and Pindao doesn't know if this is because of the martial arts you have practiced, and there are some connections hidden in them.
"But no matter what, for you... Pindao will treat you as his nephew."
"Shut up and stop taking advantage of me."
"...I don't know what's good or not. Not to mention being my nephew, most people would not be happy even if they were to be my grandson."
"Similarly, people may not be happy either.
"Okay, okay, don't use your words. I just want to tell you that if anything happens to you, you only need to take out the buckle.
"Everyone in the Taoist sect, except Pindao, can be your help."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Shameless boy...poor..."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, then glanced at Daoyuan in Jiang Ran's hand, and a complex look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Sigh softly:
"If he dies, you can return his body to Pindao.
"At least a monument should be erected for him in the back mountain.
"If he doesn't die and is of no use to you, you can also return him to Pindao. Pindao kills him personally, which can be regarded as seeking justice for those who died because he used it to practice magic skills."
Jiang Ran nodded lightly when he heard this:
"good."
"Thank you very much."
After Dao Que said this, he sighed again:
"It would be nice if I had some wine at this time."
Jiang Ran looked at his wine gourd, then at Master Dao Que, and found that the old man was peeking at his gourd furtively.
He immediately rolled his eyes:
"Don't even think about it. The Taoist sect of Nuo Da is not even able to have a bottle of wine?"
"Isn't this the case? Is this the kind of person who begs for drinks from younger generations? How can I, a Taoist sect, be short of wine?"
Master Dao Que seemed to have been greatly insulted:
"I have a taste...but I don't have as good a wine as you!"
"...Emperor Jin Chan is indeed a garrulous person."
Jiang Ran's face turned dark. Master Dao Que even knew what kind of wine he drank. Emperor Jin Chan must have told him that.
This guy can't keep any secrets at all.
The mouth is not only broken, but also fast.
Say something to him and he will turn around and tell others.
He immediately hugged his fist:
"Farewell!"
With that said, he called Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue and ran away, as if there were hungry wolves chasing behind them.
Master Dao Que watched Jiang Ran Juechen leave and quickly waved his sleeves to disperse the dust in the sky.
"Ah, bah, bah, bah... he ran really fast... he is really addicted to alcohol."
Master Dao Que jumped and took a look twice to make sure that Jiang Ran was completely gone, and then he quickly ran towards the small lake just now.
When he came to it, he plunged in with a fierce thrust.
After half an hour, I came out of the water with a whisk in my hand.
"I finally found it... Just use your martial arts and throw away any dust. Is it really good-looking?
"Hmm... Qingyuan said, if I use the Dayan Infinite Sword, throw down the floating dust, and the sword light shines together, I will definitely look like a fairy.
"I remember this, but when I threw it away, why did I forget that there was water under my feet?
"It's not easy to fish it out in front of Jiang Ran... This fuchen has been with me for almost thirty years. If I lose it, how can I still get it?"
He muttered, shook off the water on the dust, and then rushed in the direction of Dao Yizong.
…
…
As it was still dark, Jiang Ran took Dao Yuan and Shuang Xue back to Langhuan Bookstore.
Old man Chen has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Ran coming back, he quickly stood up.
"Have you been waiting for me?"
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment.
Old man Chen smiled and said:
"Since the young master has said that he will return tonight as soon as possible, the old slave naturally does not dare to sleep and wants to wait for the young master here."
Jiang Ran couldn't laugh or cry:
"There is no such need...
"Just rest, I can come in by myself.
"Well, let's go down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Chen suddenly sniffed and looked at Dao Yuan.
Then he sighed softly:
"Young Master...you shouldn't have brought this person back."
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dao Yuan:
"Is there something wrong with him?"
"Young master, wait a moment."
As Mr. Chen spoke, he reached out to Dao Yuan, and after a moment, he took out a sachet.
But this sachet is tasteless.
Jiang Ran took it and opened it, his expression suddenly became strange:
"The secret fragrance comes..."
Having said this, he glanced at Old Man Chen:
"I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in this capital any longer."
Old man Chen's face looked a little more embarrassed.
He stayed in the capital because of the old drunkard's order. Now that something unexpected happened, Langhuan Bookstore has been known to the other party.
The so-called dark fragrance is a sign.
This kind of mark is much more advanced than the Thousand Miles Wind that Jiang Ran carries with him.
Because the production method is extremely complicated and difficult.
It will take several years to get much.
Therefore, there is nothing Jiang Ran can do...
However, this thing is colorless and odorless, so no matter how great an expert you are, it will be difficult to detect its existence.
Unless you open it and take a closer look...but it can be divided into two situations.
Those who know each other will naturally know what is going on and can use this to set up a trap.
If you don’t recognize it, you won’t know what it is even if you look at it… you will still fall into the trap that you should fall into.
But now, with such a twist, Langhuan Bookstore was exposed to the other party's eyes.
Even if Jiang Ran doesn't care, he still has to consider Old Man Chen's position.
This made Jiang Ran feel a little sorry:
"I was not careful, I didn't expect them to do something like this.
"For me, this isn't a bad thing, but for you... it's hurting you."
Old man Chen smiled:
"What are you talking about, young master...
"Since it is useful to you, there is nothing better.
"Moreover, it seems that there is no need for old slaves to take care of this in the capital now.
"Maybe the old slave should really leave..."
Having said this, he turned around and entered the room.
When he came out after a while, he had already changed his outfit and was carrying a small baggage that was not too big.
It can be seen that he has prepared these things a long time ago.
As long as there is any trouble, just take it and leave.
But at this time, he still had a baggage in his hand, which was square and seemed to contain several books.
He handed his hands to Jiang Ran and said seriously:
"Young Master, the things here need to be studied carefully by you."
Jiang Ran knew that there must be secrets about the Eight Bitter Divine Needles and antidotes to various poisons, so he did not refuse immediately.
Just said:
"Old man Chen may not have the only way to leave Beijing..."
"Young Master, there is no need to say anymore, now is just the right time.
"I don't know what my master is planning. The only thing I know is that once someone finds out where he is, no matter what, he will immediately run away thousands of miles away!"
Mr. Chen said:
"Young Master, please take care."
Having said this, he glanced at Ye Jingshuang again:
"Goodbye, young lady."
After saying these words, he didn't stay any longer and went straight out.
This turn of events really made Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue dumbfounded.
Ye Jingshuang looked at Jiang Ran:
"What should we do?"
"Old man Chen cannot appear in front of others because of my master's relationship.
"But if the secret fragrance comes, since they dare to let it go, they will naturally dare to come.
"I'm just afraid that not enough people come and their status is not high enough.
"So, just wait here."
As he spoke, he lit an oil lamp, and the light suddenly pushed away the darkness.
Even so, he was not in a hurry to interrogate Daoyuan, so he threw the person aside and put the things that Old Man Chen gave him on the table.
Looking at the thickness, it looks like there are several volumes.
Immediately reached out and untied it.
Ye Jingxue was immediately curious and moved forward to take a look.
Ye Jingshuang quickly stopped her sister:
"Don't rush to read other people's secret books."
"I'm not an outsider..."
Although Ye Jingxue said so, she also withdrew her gaze.
Jiang Ran smiled:
"She is right. Old Man Chen is good at poison medicine, so the things he left behind must be extremely precious.
"Let's watch it together."
When Ye Jingshuang heard what Jiang Ran said, she was no longer polite. Ye Jingxue even walked around and came to sit on the other side of Jiang Ran.
The three heads came together and Jiang Ran opened the baggage that wrapped the pages, revealing the name of the first book [Golden Chan Wind and Moon Record].
Ye Jingshuang's eyes suddenly widened.
Ye Jingxue was full of surprise:
"Hey, hey... I know this. Tang Huayi told me that this is the erotic storybook!
"She said, this is the most interesting thing.
"Old man Chen asked you to study hard... wu wu wu..."
The next words were blocked by Ye Jingshuang who rushed over to her and covered her mouth, so she couldn't say them out.
Jiang Ran's face was as dark as iron and he continued to look down.
They are [The Adventures of Rouge Tower] [Talk about Taoyuan Village] [Secrets of the Daqing Harem]... The more Jiang Ran looked at it, the darker his face became. It was not until the end that he turned to the thinnest and thinnest book, which only had three to five pages.
A piece of paper with six big characters written on it: [Eight Sufferings Divine Acupuncture Secret Technique].
But compared with those thick books above, this thing looks extremely shabby no matter how you look at it.
