Jiang Ran put on a set of night clothes and took a look at the portrait in his hand by candlelight.
Mingyue is still humble.
Her painting skills are beyond comprehension, and she painted Liu Wenshan's facial features so lifelike.
But the most important thing about this portrait is to give Jiang Ran a comparison, so as not to come back with a completely unrelated person.
Pushing open the window, Jiang Ran flew up to the room.
After taking only two steps, I saw a swordsman dressed in black, standing there holding a single sword.
The moonlight tonight is very cold, but it cannot match the look in his eyes.
"The sales look really good..."
When Jiang Ran looked at Li Tianxin, it was easy for him to express such emotion.
He has a cold temperament, and at first glance he looks like an aloof swordsman.
Just this temperament will make people doubt whether this person is the best swordsman in the world. Who would have thought that every time he appeared, he would be in such a mess.
"Just for show?"
Li Tianxin was a little unconvinced by this statement.
"unimportant."
Jiang Ran smiled: "You want to go too?"
"You are a chivalrous and righteous person, how can you be allowed to be a beauty in front of others?"
Li Tianxin glanced at Jiang Ran:
"And how old is this girl? If you are so kind to me, if you provoke this love, it will be difficult to get rid of her in the future.
"If I help share the burden, I can save you a lot of trouble."
"none of your business……"
Jiang Ran couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"Good intentions are regarded as the liver and lungs of a donkey."
Li Tianxin snorted: "If you don't want it, I'll go back right now."
"Please."
"Sure enough, you still have thoughts about this girl."
"Are you a beast? How old is that child!?"
"Now that I'm growing up, it's time to talk about marriage."
"..."
This is not a generation gap, this is a chasm!
Jiang Ran was too lazy to tell him more: "If you want to come, come. If not, go back to sleep. I'll go first."
As soon as he stepped down, the person flew away.
Li Tianxin looked at Jiang Ran's back, frowned slightly, snorted softly, and followed him without any further hesitation.
Menghu Mountain is only more than twenty miles away from here. You can see the outline of Menghu Mountain in the distance once you reach Benma County.
Faintly, it seemed like a fierce tiger, roaring between heaven and earth.
With the pace of Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin, this distance was not a problem, and they had arrived in no time.
Stepping into the mountains, it is a bit difficult to find Huyue Stream.
Although Mingyue has explained the path as clearly as possible, there are too few reference objects in the mountains, and it is still easy to lose the path if you are not careful.
After walking around in circles for half an hour, we came to a mountain stream.
There are no tigers in this mountain stream, so it is named Huyue to echo the name of the mountain.
As they approached this place, Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin slowed down, and there were already signs of people around them.
Further forward, there was a faint light of fire.
However, along with the fire, there was also the sound of breaking wind.
"Is there someone fighting?"
Jiang Ran and Li Tianxin looked at each other, became more careful with their steps, and moved forward a little further. The scene in front of them suddenly opened up.
Then he saw two figures entangled in a mountain stream.
The internal energy surged, causing the surrounding vegetation to fly and water splashing everywhere.
Suddenly, the two people who were fighting fiercely flew out two palms at the same time, and when the four palms touched, there was a loud bang.
Two figures retreated at the same time, and a man dressed in black with an iron mask on his face floated onto a boulder.
Another little old man with a gloomy face, who looked to be in his fifties, was flying beside the water.
As soon as the two people's eyes touched, they heard the little old man laugh strangely:
“Years ago, the Jade-faced Qilin’s methods were always upright.
"It's just that we haven't seen each other for so many years, and you're actually playing some sneaky tricks?"
"Where else in the world is there a jade-faced unicorn?"
The man wearing the iron mask said calmly:
"Since the day my face was torn off by you, there is only one Ghost Thirteen left in this world."
Ghost Thirteen?
Jiang Ran frowned slightly. The short man in black who used to follow Daozhen was called Ghost Seven by Daozhen.
Is this Ghost Thirteen in front of me?
Is he from Wuxin Ghost Mansion?
Then this little old man probably has something to do with Daozhen and the others.
As my mind was turning, I heard the little old man's proud laughter:
"That's right, that's right, I remembered it when you mentioned it.
"This is one of the proudest things in my life... You show mercy everywhere because of your good skin.
"In order to save you from adding more romantic debts, I came to help you.
"Oh, now it seems that you are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know a good heart. I saved you from the bad luck, but now your tone is full of resentment. What's the truth?"
"Nonsense, I have always been clean and self-sufficient, how can I allow you to slander me like this? You... are really looking for death!!"
The eyes under Ghost Thirteen's iron mask were suddenly full of fierceness.
His body curled up, he flew up into the air, and his two palms flew out. In an instant, the shadows of his palms filled the sky and enveloped the little old man's body.
The little old man was not afraid and happily rushed forward. His hands were as if they were pierced through flowers, and his palms were sharp and sharp. After the fight, the whole place was shaken.
Li Tianxin's eyes walked around these two people and whispered:
"Is this one wearing an iron mask a jade-faced unicorn?"
"You know this guy?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him.
"you do not know?"
Li Tianxin was surprised by Jiang Ran's ignorance:
"This man was famous ten years ago because of his handsome appearance, strong martial arts skills, upright character, and chivalrous heart.
“As a result, he has captivated the hearts of many women.
"There are also legends that many famous heroines at that time had entanglements with him.
"But then he suddenly disappeared... Some people said that he was emotionally injured and became tired of the world and lived in seclusion.
"Some people also say that he was burdened by women and died in the world.
"But I didn't expect that it would turn into what it is now."
Jiang Ran thoughtfully said:
"Can you tell where that little old man came from?"
Li Tianxin shook his head:
"I can't see that.
"But his martial arts skills are far superior to that of the jade-faced unicorn, so he can't be considered a nobody."
Jiang Ran nodded.
Although the current situation is tense, it seems difficult to determine the winner.
But the martial arts the little old man has performed so far are all ordinary routines.
None of the martial arts in this sect has been used, which shows that he still has a hidden advantage and has never shown his true ability.
Jiang Ran's mind wandered, and he looked beyond these two people to a cave on the side of the mountain stream.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly frowned:
"Someone is here again..."
The little old man seemed to be aware of this, and his originally light strength suddenly increased and forced the jade-faced unicorn back.
Looking up again, he saw the shadow of his palm turning over the sky, like a dragnet, completely covering it.
"The Ever-Changing Tianluo Palm!!"
The little old man's face darkened, he opened and closed his hands, changed them three times in succession, and then suddenly touched his palms.
There was a muffled sound, and where the two hands met, a huge internal energy suddenly swept across all directions.
Just listen to the little old man shouting angrily:
"Tong Wanli, you made a sneak attack!?"
Jiang Ran's heart moved. The person who came was actually Tong Wanli?
He immediately looked towards where Tong Wanli had come from.
Sure enough, there were footsteps following behind him.
After a while, the visitor showed his true appearance.
First there was a woman, dressed in plain clothes and holding a long sword, her eyes as cold as moonlight.
It was Ye Jingshuang.
There were two young men beside her.
One is covered in red and the other is dressed in black.
When he looked up at the changes in the field, he was still whispering something to Ye Jingshuang.
Ye Jingshuang's eyebrows were serious and she didn't respond.
Jiang Ran smiled when he saw this. It was a good thing to meet old friends again, but the most important thing was that his life-sustaining pill had grown legs and ran back.
But soon he frowned again.
Tong Wanli and Ye Jingshuang returned to Hong Maple Leaf's house, how could they arrive here so quickly?
Is it because we found out something happened to Liu Wenshan?
Or have you already investigated any clues?
While Jiang Ran was thinking about this, another change occurred in the scene.
Tong Wanli appeared, with his ever-changing Tianluo Palm, which had endless changes. The two palms covered all directions. Not only was the little old man within the range of his palms, Ghost Thirteen was also unable to escape alone.
The fight between the two suddenly turned into a fight between three people.
The little old man yelled at Tong Wanli, but Tong Wanli was dull, said nothing, and hit anyone he saw.
Even though the other person was yelling at him, he didn't say a word, he just raised his hands and kept beating.
Ghost Thirteen's martial arts skills are slightly weaker than theirs, and he has to survive in the cracks.
Sometimes he cooperates with Tong Wanli to beat the little old man wildly, and under forced circumstances, he and the little old man face the Tianluo in the palm of his hand at the same time.
For a while, it was also a difficult situation.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran said softly:
"I'll go check it out, be careful."
"kindness……"
Li Tianxin nodded, and saw Jiang Ran's feet turning nine steps, his figure dragging his shadow, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
He moved lightly, specializing in shadowy places. In just a few steps, he had arrived at the cave on the side of the mountain stream.
By the light of the fire, we could see that the corpses lying on the ground were all blue and black, and they had obviously died of poison.
He glanced at the few people he had fought with before in Shanjian, and without them noticing, he took a little step and turned lightly into the cave.
This cave is quiet and humid, and the burning flames are quite choking.
Animal bones can be seen everywhere on the ground. It is obvious that these people have been staying in this cave for a period of time.
The little old man said just now that Ghost Thirteen is now using despicable methods. He probably came to find him and secretly poisoned the group to kill them.
The little old man was not poisoned, so he started fighting with Ghost Thirteen.
With these thoughts in his mind, he started walking towards a certain place with his ears twitching.
This cave is actually not big, and we can't walk very far. Under the light of the fire, we can already see a man with his hands tied and thrown in the middle of the cave.
The dim light of the fire illuminated this person's face, it was Liu Wenshan!
It's just that his eyes were closed tightly at this moment, and although he was breathing, it was quite weak.
But seeing that he was still alive, Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, he had already taken over the task of catching the knife.
If this person is dead, this task will probably not be completed.
However, it is expected that the system will not release some tasks that are absolutely impossible for the host to complete.
If Liu Wenshan had died before this, then this mission might not even be triggered.
Thinking of this, he was about to go over to rescue people when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him.
Subconsciously, he hid his figure in the shadow of the corner.
In a moment, three figures came over.
At the same time, I heard someone say:
"Shimei, watch your steps. There is filth and evil in this cave. I told you, just let the two of us in. Why do you need to follow me on this trip?"
The one who spoke was the young man wearing red who was following Ye Jingshuang.
Ye Jingshuang frowned slightly:
"Brother, what you said is serious. It is a matter of my uncle's life and death. Is there any reason to resort to false pretenses?"
"Ah...that's right, that's right."
The young man in red gave a dry laugh:
"I didn't think it through well. Well, we should be there just ahead."
When Jiang Ran heard this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly. He thought about it for a while, but he was not in a hurry to show up.
I didn't mean to hide it, I wanted to give it a surprise.
It's just that this cave now belongs to the enemy camp, and he is dressed in black and masked. Before they can rescue people, his rash appearance may cause some misunderstandings.
It should be better if they find Liu Wenshan and reveal his purpose again.
Thinking like this, these people filed past him.
As the three of them moved forward, they saw Liu Wenshan.
Just listen to the young man in red say:
"Shimei, do you think that man is your uncle?"
"My aunt left home for another reason. I have only seen my uncle once since I was a child...it's hard to tell the difference now."
Ye Jingshuang said:
"However, since he is trapped here, there should be no other possibility.
"Let's save people first and then talk..."
"good."
The young man in red nodded immediately: "Let me do it."
After he finished speaking, he strode forward.
Ye Jingshuang and the young man in black also followed closely behind.
Jiang Ran folded his arms and followed quietly, watching the young man in red lifting Liu Wenshan up. Just when he was thinking about showing up, he heard a huffing sound.
Two chains rose out of thin air, like pythons in the mountains, unfolding in the air, reaching straight for the young man in red and Ye Jingshuang.
This suddenly became sudden. Not to mention that the young man in red and Ye Jingshuang were not aware of this at all. Even though Jiang Ran had profound internal skills, he was not aware of this person lurking beside him.
It wasn't until the chain came to the backs of the two people that the young man in red and Ye Jingshuang came to their senses.
The young man in red's hands trembled, and when he had no time to react, he turned around and clapped two palms in succession.
The palm force hit the chain, but it only made the chain pause slightly, and then swept it and landed on his chest.
The blow was quite miserable. The young man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out.
On the other side, the long sword in Ye Jingshuang's palm suddenly unsheathed.
The blade of the sword was horizontal, barely protecting the chest, and a clanging sound was heard.
When the sword edge touched the chain, a series of sparks immediately shot out. She did not move her feet but retreated more than a foot horizontally.
The sword's edge buzzed and trembled endlessly, the tiger's mouth cracked, and blood dripped onto the ground.
"Tong Yan!"
The young man in black was startled, ignored Ye Jingshuang, and subconsciously pounced on the young man in red.
At the same time, the two chains did not close at the touch of a finger. The black shadow turned and struck again.
The young man in black shouted angrily, and while his inner breath was running, he reached out to grab it, but he didn't expect that the chain was like a spiritual snake, bypassing his grasp in an instant, and directly entangled his whole body.
Ye Jingshuang's face turned gloomy. Now, at the moment when her old strength had been exhausted and new strength had yet to be regenerated, she couldn't move even for a moment when the chains were hit, so she had to retreat.
But unexpectedly, as soon as I took one step, my shoulders would feel tight.
Immediately afterwards, he was involuntarily moved to the other side. When he turned around, he saw a man in black with a knife hanging from his waist. His fingers were hooked and he suddenly looked around.
The chain, which was like a spiritual snake, changed its position one after another, but still couldn't get out of the grasping range. It was caught in his palm, and he heard a soft drink from his mouth:
