It's night.

There was no wind tonight, no stars, and clouds covered the sky, making the whole heaven and earth extremely depressed.

A figure quietly rushed into the darkness, tossing and turning, extremely fast.

Every step fell, and a lot of phantoms dragged out behind him.

After a few moments, they were already in front of a village.

There is a monument at the entrance of the village, and there are three big characters on it...... Sunjiazhuang!

The man raised his head and ripped off the mask on his face, it was Jiang Ran.

"At the east end of the village, the third family ......"

He muttered to himself, pointing out the directions, and counting them one by one.

When I got to the third household, I flew in.

This house is uninhabited, but the yard is not overgrown with weeds, but it is very clean.

It can be seen that someone cleans it up on weekdays.

Ye Konggu and Liu Wenshan hid things here, so naturally they wouldn't really leave this house unmanaged.

Otherwise, it's okay for a day or two, but after a long time, it will be taken up by others.

It is necessary to ask someone to take care of it, so that people know that although it is uninhabited, there is always a master's house, so as not to make people covet it.

The house is not large, and after a little exploration, I have found the location of the study.

Liu Wenshan said that behind the bookshelf in the study, there is a secret passage.

"In the secret room below, there is a Jiaowei qin.

"But where is this mechanism?"

Jiang Ran groaned and looked at the bookshelf in front of him.

The bookshelf is not placed in front of the wall, but is embedded in it.

Jiang Ran's fingers touched it inch by inch.

He is armed with a seven-trick heavenly craftsman, and at this time, when he breathes inside, every place that his fingertips touch, there is extremely detailed feedback.

"This bookshelf isn't made of wood."

The hardness and temperature that came back were not enough for Jiang Ran to distinguish the specific material.

But it's clear that this thing is made of metal.

Suddenly, when Jiang Ran's fingertips crossed the horizontal board on a bookshelf, his expression paused slightly.

"I thought it would be a candlestick, an ornament or something...... You're a bit of a surprise. ”

With a muttering in his mouth, he put his palm on the horizontal board and pressed it down hard.

I heard the sound of a snap, the sound of the machine expanding, and immediately after, the entire bookshelf rolled to one side.

The voice was extremely deep and deep.

A secret passage was presented in front of Jiang Ran like this.

Jiang Ran casually took an oil lamp from the table, took out a fire fold and lit it, and the brilliance of the bean size shone on the surroundings, pushing away the darkness.

When I looked down, the slightly sloping steps appeared in front of me.

After walking down the stairs, he turned another corner, and after walking about a few meters, another portal appeared in front of him.

The mechanism for this portal is not hard to find, just above the candlestick on one side.

With a snap of his hand, a rumbling sound sounded, and the stone gate had naturally been lifted.

The light emanated from the room, and when Jiang Ran glanced inside, he saw a night pearl on a wax table in the middle of the room.

“…… Is there any radiation in this thing? ”

Jiang Ran muttered in a low voice and walked into the room.

A lot of gold, silver and jewelry were piled up randomly all over the room, and they shone even brighter under the light of the pearl at night.

And under the wax table of the Night Pearl in the middle, there is a table.

A guqin, which doesn't look very inconspicuous, is placed here in a dignified manner.

"This is Scorchtail?"

Jiang Ran didn't say this.

The voice was old and low and hoarse, coming from behind Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran suddenly turned around.

I saw an old man with messy hair and down-to-earth clothes, with strong curiosity in his eyes, looking at Jiao Weiqin behind Jiang Ran.

He licked his lips:

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

"I thought that the one who knew where this Jiaowei Qin was should be Ye Jingshuang.

"But I didn't expect it to be you......

"How do you know this East XZ is here?"

He looked at Jiang Ran with some surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Ran suddenly said:

"You thought it was Ye Jingshuang who knew where this thing was, so when you wanted to kill Cheng Tianyang, Shuang'er and I appeared, and you left quickly.

"Do you want to hurt her?"

"If I hurt her, where should I go to find Jiaowei?"

Shi Pingzhang nodded:

"After all, she is the only heir of the Ye family."

"Then why did you kill me?"

"You have good martial arts, but you are prone to bad things."

When Shi Pingzhang said this, he suddenly gave up:

"It's just that I didn't expect that it was you who brought me here in the end......

"Thinking about it like this, what I did before is really sorry for you."

"You really don't know where Jiao Weiqin is hiding."

Jiang Ran sighed:

"This time it's a brick throw?"

"You're pretty smart."

Shi Pingzhang nodded:

"Not many people in the Ye family know about Jiaoweiqin.

"I thought about it at the time, if I wanted to find this qin, I couldn't hurt Ye Jingshuang.

Otherwise, the whereabouts of the piano may be lost.

"But I didn't expect that the person who really knew the whereabouts of this qin was you......

"Second, I have to let you know that I don't have a piano in my hand right now.

"The Troubled Heart Funeral Chapter is driven by the rhythm of music, although I don't refer to the piano alone, but I can only use the piano.

"Therefore, I use this credit to lead the four factions to fight in front of the Red Maple Villa, not just to kill you.

"It's also about losing the piano.

"It's just a broken string, it's not hard to continue, why abandon it?

"Naturally, it's because there's a better alternative.

But where does this substitute come from?

"The old man has been hidden in the rivers and lakes for decades, and today he is reappearing, why don't you go anywhere, but come to this Red Maple Villa?

"If you are the heir of Red Maple Villa, you know that there is a scorched tail hidden near here.

"How can his heart not be chaotic, how can he not panic?

"If I can't say so, I'll come here to check it out...... So as to show the way to the old man. ”

Jiang Ran smiled when he heard this:

"It's not a clever ploy, and many people have used it."

"So what?"

Shi Pingzhang smiled:

"As long as it works."

However, when he said this, he tilted his head and looked at Jiang Ran twice:

"Speaking of which, the first time I saw you, the old man, was suspicious.

"The old man just gave you a solution, you may also explain the old man's confusion?

"You...... Why is it so weird? ”

"Weird?"

Jiang Ran was stunned: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Shi Ping Zhang says:

"Why do you smell of the Demon Cult on your body?

"It's the Xuanmen Sect that cultivates.

"It's weird, it's so weird.

"If it weren't for the old man's own creation of this [Unkind Book], but it was a peerless study in the world, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the mystery of your inner demons and outer ways."

Inner Demon Outer Path?

Jiang Ran smiled dumbly:

"You're a nonsense ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ran suddenly lost his speech.

Because he suddenly thought of the Cangzhou Heroes Club that day, Li Feiyun's blood tripod true scripture among thousands of families.

Why did the strange study of the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records of the Demon Sect have no effect on him?

Inner Demon Outer Path......

Is it really nonsense?

Or is there a mystery in your body that you don't even know?

"Look at you like this, it's the old man who asked Yu Blind."

Shi Pingzhang shook his head slightly: "That's it, there are thousands of incomprehensible things in this world." My generation has been searching tirelessly, but it is difficult to solve all these questions.

"The way of heaven and earth is vast and ethereal...... It's not humanly available.

"I don't understand this question today."

At this point, he suddenly reached out and went straight to Jiang Ran's door.

This palm was struck, and the surrounding area suddenly surged.

is murderous and striking.

However, this is not enough, as soon as Jiang Ran raised his eyes, he saw that on the palm of this old man, there was even a word 'kill' written on it!

This word seems to have an indescribable magic, and when people see it, they can't help but put their eyes and even their hearts on this word.

For a moment, it seemed like an independent firmament.

Silently overlooking the world, I only feel that there are sins everywhere, filth everywhere, and only the word 'killing' can stop this great sin in heaven and earth!

At this moment, the Creation Positive Heart Sutra turned violently.

Everything around him was shattered in an instant.

Jiang Ran raised his head suddenly, and handed it out with a palm.

The two palms touched, but there was no sound.

Not only is it silent, but what is even more terrifying is that Shi Pingzhang's palm penetrates directly from Jiang Ran's palm, as if Jiang Ran is not a hand, but just an illusory phantom.

Shi Pingzhang's eyes were filled with a look of astonishment.

Lowering his head again, Jiang Ran's palm was less than three inches away from his heart, turning his palm into a claw, as if he wanted to cut his heart.

"I see!"

Shi Pingzhang seemed to suddenly realize, his figure suddenly turned, and he struck Jiang Ran's five fingers obliquely with his fingers.

His move was strange, and he couldn't make a move, and he shot one after another to resist Jiang Ran's attack.

And when he made a move, the wind swept across the void, as if he had hit a hook that was a little bit, a horizontal and a vertical hook.

"He's writing?"

At this time, the word was halfway written, and the overflowing finger force had already shattered the surroundings.

Those gold and silver jewels were scattered everywhere, and there were dozens of marks on the walls.

The pearls of the night flew out.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, and at the same time, Shi Pingzhang cut off with one finger and wrote a stroke.

Followed by him, pointing like a sword, and like the tip of a pen, staring at Jiang Ran, reaching out a little.

This point seems to condense all the previous moves in one place.

Above the fingertips, there is a faint condensation of brilliance, and the point is extremely slow, but it is born under this point, and even the air around it has become scorching and sticky.

And every inch of strength he exuded seemed to be filled with soft whispers, expounding the truth of heaven and earth, and telling the meaning of small words.

Every word is leading people to kill.

It gives people a feeling that they must be killed.

Under this blessing, this finger even made Jiang Ran feel that he was facing death.

It was as if there were thousands of voices constantly telling Jiang Ran...... You have to die!

It made Jiang Ran feel that no matter what kind of divine skill he had, how profound his internal skills were.

Once this finger falls, you will inevitably die!

This finger does not seem to be breaking life and death, but the inevitable result.

In this world...... How could there be such martial arts?

Is this the book of inhumanity?

Jiang Ran watched the changes in this finger quietly, and only felt that this move was extremely varied, and it was really the most exquisite martial arts he had ever seen since he came out of the rivers and lakes.

And at this moment of life and death, Jiang Ran's hand had already pressed the handle of the knife.

Slippery gold, shining all over the sky!

Shi Pingzhang's finger seems to have expounded all the truths that Jiang Ran must die.

But Jiang Ran's knife ...... Never reasonable.

The blade mixed with the brilliance of broken gold did not make this secret room more gorgeous.

But when the blood is sprinkled, it adds a new color.

A finger that made Jiang Ran have to die quietly flew out.

Shi Pingzhang looked at his severed finger, but he didn't see how the finger was broken.

It's as if he didn't see how Jiang Ran's knife was struck.

He only saw the golden color in the sky, and he didn't even notice the pain!

The next moment, the cold sound of knives rose again.

Shi Pingzhang felt the sharp pain in his fingers pass to his heart, and followed him to the next step, as if shrinking into inches, and in one step, he had moved from Jiang Ran to the steps outside the door.

With a wave of his hand, he heard a loud noise.

The stone gate fell with a bang.

But before the stone gate completely landed, he felt that Jiang Ran was already standing outside the stone gate.

Shi Pingzhang didn't dare to delay for a moment, and the footwork under his feet changed again, and the person had already arrived in the study.

Looking back, I wanted to find a mechanism to close the bookshelf.

Just now he also noticed that this bookshelf was heavy, and the material must be special, if he could use this to trap Jiang Ran in it.

You can escape today.

However, after glancing at it twice, I really didn't know where this mechanism was.

The mechanism that opened the door had been moved to the wall along with the bookshelves.

I want to close the door, but I don't know how to close it.

Shi Pingzhang only glanced at it twice.

Someone behind him was chasing and killing, where can I see more, these two eyes took less than a breath, and the next moment, there was a bang, and he had already flown out of the study.

But before he could stand firm, he only felt as if he had fallen into a fog.

The sky is full of smoke and clouds, and there are strange creatures everywhere.

The poignant edge lingers in all directions.

"It's ......"

Shi Pingzhang's heart moved, and he suddenly raised his head, and saw a flash of light, followed by but disappeared.

One step further, the two long swords reached three inches straight to their feet.

He flew to his feet and whispered:

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, only killing is the way!"

As soon as these eight words fell, the surrounding clouds and mist suddenly rolled, faintly visible, and hidden in the clouds and mist were a group of disciples of the four sects with black cloth on their eyes and long swords.

"It's ...... them"

Shi Pingzhang's heart jumped, and he suddenly looked back in the direction of the study:

"It's you!?"

Jiang Ran's voice came from beyond the clouds:

"It's me.

"Although I think that this is enough for me alone, and I can't make a big fuss.

"After all, it's the heart demon that is dealing with the inner demon Shi Pingzhang.

"Your martial arts are too sinister for others......

"I'll deal with you myself, and I'll have a better grasp.

"But...... The big guys all think that there is a lot of power in slaying demons and eliminating demons.

"Just let me take the lead, and the big guy will set up an ambush for you outside.

"Brother Huang told me that this [Cloud Sea Shengbo Great Array] of their Liuyun Sword Sect can restrain your Murderous Heart Demon Sticker and Chaotic Heart Funeral Chapter to a certain extent.

"Oh, by the way, you don't need a funeral chapter for a chaotic heart, you won't be able to get Jiaowei anyway."

“…… Do you already know what the old man is up to? ”

For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on Shi Pingzhang's face.

Wrong didn't know it a long time ago, how could Jiang Ran arrange it like this?

"I told you just now."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"Your plan is not clever, and many people have used it......

"In other words, it's too old and too easy to see through."

Tonight, Jiang Ran gathered the leaders of the Five Great Sword Sects together and asked them if they dared to fight Shi Pingzhang.

Actually, it's for now.

Jiang Ran knew where Shi Pingzhang was going, and the time when he went was not set by Shi Pingzhang himself.

It was set for him by Jiang Ran.

When Jiang Ran will leave, he will also leave.

Therefore, as long as the five major sword sects dared to come, then the opportunity would be after Jiang Ran left.

After Jiang Ran casually talked to Shi Pingzhang in that secret room, the disciples of the Five Great Sword Sects could arrange the formation outside.

Of course, Jiang Ran said that the [Cloud Sea Generating Wave Array] was actually not complete.

This array relies on the mental method of the Liuyun Sword Sect, communicates with each other's internal forces, and forcibly achieves the vision of 'self-generated clouds'.

This 'cloud' is Qi, which can block the field of vision, and can also attack and kill.

But if you want to really make Shi Pingzhang's magic skills not affect everyone present, you not only need the sea of clouds, but also the protection of the Danyang Sword Sect [Danxin Sword Array].

Of course, combining the two formations is naturally not so simple.

The Partial Liuyun Sword Sect and the Danyang Sword Sect have been friends for many years.

Many years ago, the two families had an idea based on this formation.

I have tried more than once, and I have already gained something.

But tonight was the first time it was performed.

The Liuyun Sword Sect and the Danyang Sword Sect were used as the guards, and the Qingsong Sword Sect, the Yunshan Sword Sect and the Water Moon Sword Sect were attacked.

It is the advance that can be attacked, the retreat can be defended.

This formation is powerful, but the only problem is that I don't know what kind of method to use, and the introduction of Shi Pingzhang into it lacks the power of Dingding.

But Jiang Ran made up for this.

As a result, this Shi Pingzhang is already a caged bird!

It's just that this is just in case.

If Jiang Ran could directly behead Shi Pingzhang in that secret room, all this would not be needed.

And this will ...... Even if this formation can't kill Shi Pingzhang, if he wants to escape from here, it's a fantasy.

Shi Pingzhang was not ignorant, but he was overconfident, thinking that he only needed to perform the small skills of carving insects to make the people of the five major sword sects play around.

But I didn't expect that I was treated as a caged bird, and one of them took the opportunity to invite you into the urn, and I fell into such a field.

For a while, he was also furious, and looked around with a sneer:

"Just a formation, and you want to trap the old man?

"Don't you know that the old man is a celestial man??"

At this point, he turned his steps and began to investigate all directions.

However, at this moment, long swords attacked from all directions.

Some swords are as heavy as mountains, some are vigorous and majestic, and some are soft as water......

Many years ago, Shi Pingzhang had already seen these five factions of swordsmanship.

I know what kind of sect the people who make the sword.

His face turned blue for a while:

"Roll !!"

As soon as his sleeves were rolled, the moment his inner breath was played, there was a slight speech, and the sound entered his ears.

The long swords that came came withdrew one after another.

From the gap in the formation, return to safety.

Shi Pingzhang also wanted to continue to look for flaws in the formation, so as to break out of the formation, but suddenly looked up and saw a golden trace, falling from the sky.

Immediately, his face changed, knowing that it was Jiang Ran who made a move, and he didn't dare to take it hard for a while.

He had just pointed out that finger with what he had learned all his life, but it turned out that he was missing a finger.

Where would you dare to make a mistake?

But he didn't want to, as soon as he retreated, the blade that was originally in mid-air suddenly came to his side.

Diagonally slashed, silent.
