Jiang Ran smiled dumbly, but had some doubts in his heart.
Where did the old drunkard get these Nine Frightening Knives?
Creating such things yourself is indeed nonsense.
But if he had such unique skills when he was young, how could he become like this when he gets old?
Jiang Ran suddenly felt that the old drunkard in his memory was starting to become a little blurry.
It seems to be changing into another image that makes him feel a little strange...
Mr. Da didn't stay too long at Jiang Ran's side. It seemed that he came here just to answer Jiang Ran's questions.
After saying these words, he said goodbye and left, saying that he had gained a lot today and that he needed to go back and meditate, burn incense and bathe, and then compile it into a book.
Jiang Ran was somewhat looking forward to how he would tell today's story.
After seeing off Mr. Da, Jiang Ran returned to the room.
I checked my system and found that I received more tasks this time.
The entire Feiyun Village, and all the heads under Li Feiyun, were all taken over by him.
Now there are seven rows of tasks waiting to be handed in tomorrow.
"I don't know how much life I can gain this time."
Jiang Ran took a long breath, took a look at his remaining lifespan, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Mr. Da said that he had gained a lot today.
Jiang Ran felt that his gains were not bad.
At least, from Dao Wuming's mouth, he knew the origin of the Creation Zhengxin Sutra.
I also learned the origin of my nine swords from Mr. Da.
Unfortunately, so far, there is still no news of the old drunkard.
Jiang Ran planned that if there was no movement tomorrow, he would have no choice but to search all over the world.
After all, we can't let this old drunkard really lose it.
There was no talk that night. The next morning, after Jiang Ran tidied up, he went to the government office.
Today's government office is lively.
Yesterday's battle was so big that ordinary people didn't feel anything at all. Everything happened silently.
But for these yamen servants, so many things suddenly happened, and they were not used to it.
In the entire government office, everyone was busy running around like clockwork.
The government officials who knew Jiang Ran before were not there, so Jiang Ran went directly into the government office with the sword-catching order.
I was planning to find someone to find Mr. Liu.
As a result, he saw Master Liu coming in a hurry. Jiang Ran was happy and clasped his fists to say hello. However, he saw this man with his head lowered and hurried past Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran quickly turned around:
"Master Liu!"
Master Liu stopped as if reflexively, and looked back, his eyes slightly confused.
The dark circles under his eyes were comparable to those of Dao Wumingyou.
With their eyes facing each other, Master Liu finally saw clearly who the person was, and he immediately patted his thigh:
"My lord, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I... forget it. You know the way. You can go on your own. If I have something important to do here, I will take the first step."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, he walked towards the small courtyard where Guo Chong lived.
The small courtyard that used to be clean in the past is no longer so clean now.
Occasionally, government officials would come in and out. As soon as they crossed the courtyard gate, they heard Guo Chong yelling and cursing loudly, and the table was banging.
Several government officials walked out of it with disgraced faces, and were startled when they saw Jiang Ran:
"How did you get in?"
Just as Jiang Ran was about to explain, he heard Guo Chong's angry voice shouting:
"You care how he got in?
"You can't tell the difference between a few bandits and they just put a sack on his head, and you all think he is a bag of cabbage.
"Still asking? Get out of here right away. If you don't leave, I'll be careful to punish you and offend you!!"
When the two yamen servants heard this, they immediately complained repeatedly and hurriedly rubbed oil on their soles.
Jiang Ran clasped his fists, and without waiting to speak, he heard Guo Chong shout loudly:
"Come in!"
Jiang Ran simply walked in directly.
I saw that this room, which was usually filled with the aroma of various kinds of rice, was now filled with the aroma of books and ink.
Guo Chong was wearing an official uniform, and it was so stretched that it felt like it would fall apart if he exerted even the slightest force.
The official hat looked neat and tidy, but Jiang Ran always felt that Guo Chong was about to reach out and pull it away, so he held back every time he came near.
Then he grabbed the brush and scratched it out on the table, leaving all kinds of papers scattered on the floor.
After seeing Jiang Ran, she glared at him fiercely:
"What poison did you give them?"
"Autumn dew."
"Autumn Queen Lu? What a stupid name...it doesn't sound right to you."
"You are quite poetic."
As soon as Jiang Ran heard the words 'poetic and picturesque', his expression froze, he shook his head and said:
"This is called arty.
"To put it simply, it means that grasshoppers after autumn...can't jump around for a few days."
"...You are really a prodigy at naming!!"
Guo Chong gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Ran grinned:
"Where's the silver?"
"Are you so confident?"
"The documents for the sea arrests were issued by your lord. Since I killed them, it's not a bad thing to come to get the money. Why can't I be honest?"
"That makes sense!"
Guo Chong burst out laughing:
"I just like your no-nonsense energy, unlike those people who are obviously just accepting rewards and getting money, and it's a matter of course, but they all act like thieves.
"Those who don't know better think they are being rewarded."
After he finished speaking, he reached under the table and pulled out a box, then threw it to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran reached out and grabbed it, only to feel a brute force contained in it, trying to push him back.
He immediately smiled, put one foot on the ground, turned his palm, and the box immediately flew into the air spinning.
He stretched out his hand again and the box just fell down.
Not a step back.
He raised his head and looked at Guo Chong:
"Master Guo, you are too narrow-minded."
"Who would hit me with a box belonging to such a big boss when we first met?"
Guo Chong glared at him:
"I use such a small box to repay you, how dare you complain?
"I'm not afraid that I will offend you by punishing you.
"Li Feiyun offered a reward of 5,000 taels, Zuo Kuangge offered a reward of 3,000 taels, and the others added up to a reward of 5,500 taels.
"There are a total of thirteen thousand five hundred taels of silver notes in it.
"Check it yourself."
There is no need to look at it. Although Guo Chong is a bit special in his behavior, he will not cheat on such matters.
More importantly, Jiang Ran had a large number of prompts pop up in front of him.
Above it is a whole row of [Complete Mission].
Below is a whole row of [Get Rewards].
It's so densely packed that it makes your eyes dizzy to see it.
He waved his hand and ignored everything else. He opened his task panel and glanced at the line of content he was most concerned about.
[Remaining life span: one year, ten months and seven days!]
Jiang Ran was overjoyed, he still had nearly two years to live!
