When the time crept on, it was late September.

The scorching sun hanging high in the sky gradually retracted a little irritable and a little more feminine.

Today, I can't even see this bit of femininity.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, the mountains were heavy and the water was heavy, and it was obvious that there was rain coming.

"Brother Jiang, I haven't seen a broken temple inn around.

"I saw a post station, but it looked quite old."

The black figure flashed, and Li Tianyu came to Jiang Ran.

Along the way, Li Tianyu has gradually adapted to today's life.

And Jiang Ran also realized the usefulness of this person.

He has very strong eyesight and excellent skills, and that day in that Wusheng Town, if he hadn't met Tang Huayi, a little demon girl of the Demon Sect, it would not be easy to take down this person.

Even if you touch a close place, it is easy for it to escape.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly and said softly:

"Judging from the path I inquired about before, this should be the Autumn Resignation Station.

"But I heard that this post has long been abandoned, and the new post is still twenty miles away.

"It seems that there will be tiles to cover my head tonight, so I won't be rushing in the rain."

The post station itself is not open to the people.

Although Jiang Ran and the others are all good players in the rivers and lakes, they are still a cloth cloth.

Even if Jiang Ran has a knife arrest order, he is not a person in the public family.

The inn will not be open to him.

However, the serious post station is not open, and this kind of abandoned and unmanaged post station does not need to be cared about.

To Jiang Ran's surprise, this post station was abandoned, but it was not demolished, so that travelers who came here could have a place to rest, which could be regarded as immeasurable merit.

It has been about ten days since I came here from Wusheng Town on that day.

During this period of time, it has been extremely calm, and there have been no twists and turns.

The whereabouts of the Blood Knife Hall are nowhere to be seen.

There was no more news from Benleitang.

Even the lifeless building really seems to be silent.

I don't know where the slow poison is now, whether it is here or not?

In addition, there is actually another force that Jiang Ran cares about more.

It's the heavens.

On that day, Shi Pingzhang was able to know where Jiao Wei was, and Tianshang Que was the initiator.

Later, Jiaowei's news was also leaked, and this organization definitely contributed to it.

But along the way, all the clowns who jumped off the beam came out.

But there is no news in the sky.

This made Jiang Ran a little unsure what their purpose was.

Thinking about it in my heart, I didn't delay the trip.

Everyone followed the direction Li Tianyu said, and soon arrived at the post station.

As Jiang Ran said, this place is indeed the Autumn Resignation Station.

It's just that now the plaques have fallen to the side of the gate, and they look full of dust, which shows that they have long been abandoned.

But when Jiang Ran stretched out his hand to push the door, he was slightly stunned.

He looked down at his palm, then at the knocker and lock on the door, and said softly with a slight groan:

"There may be other people passing by who are staying here, so be careful."

Everyone nodded immediately.

Jiang Ran pushed open the door at this time, and with a creak, the quiet and desolate garden of Qiu Ciyi appeared in front of Jiang Ran and the others.

The barren grass in the garden has obviously not been taken care of for a long time.

However, you can still see rut marks passing through the garden, stopping.

Look at the traces, that is, the situation of the past two days.

Jiang Ran and the others were accompanied by a carriage in addition to a few horses.

Man Shengming's body is highly poisonous, and it is somewhat inappropriate for him to ride around on horseback.

So he let him rest in the carriage.

Now open the gate and drive the horses inside.

Luo Qingyi helped Man Shengming get out of the car, and saw Jiang Ran suddenly look at the entrance of the post station.

The sound of creaking and rattling also reached everyone's ears at this time.

A tooth-aching sound sounded from the door, and a crack slowly opened.

An eye appeared in the crack of the door, silently spying on everyone's every move.

Now it was dark, and the grass was full of untouched places, and the crack in the door of a broken building opened to reveal a prying eye.

The combination of this scene is really terrifying.

Tang Huayi reacted the fastest, she didn't even think about it, and rushed behind Jiang Ran like a rabbit.

Behind him, the probe probed into his brain.

When I turned around again, I found that Ruan Yuqing had also come to the old place.

The two of them grabbed Jiang Ran's sleeve one by one, and Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh again and again:

"Those who know are afraid, and those who don't know think that you are going to sell me for glory and give me away."

“…… Less, less nonsense, is it a person or a ghost? ”

Tang Huayi's voice trembled in fright.

Luo Qingyi was stunned, and when he saw this, he immediately shouted angrily:

"Who pretended to be a ghost and didn't let me out?"

At this point, he stepped a little, his body changed several times in succession, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the door of the pavilion.

With the five fingers open, the probe hand will grab.

The owner of the eye inside the door also seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly closed the door.

But where is the time?

Hearing a bang, the gate was suddenly broken open on both sides by Luo Qingyi.

followed by five fingers, grabbed a person's neck collar, shook his hand and pulled it out, and raised one arm above the top:

"Who are you? Why are you here? Why snoop on us? ”

Everyone raised their eyes and looked at it, and they were all stunned.

I saw that the person Luo Qingyi was holding in his hand had to be over sixty years old, with a rickety figure and a big bag bulging behind his back.

The expression was cringe, with only one eye.

At this time, the wind that was thrown by Luo Qingyi was messy, and his eyes were full of fear.

Seeing this, the Jingtan monk said softly:

"Little Brother Luo, don't be impulsive first."

Luo Qingyi also saw this person clearly at this time, glanced at Jiang Ran, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he slowly put down the rickety old man.

When the old man arrived at this time, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Tears almost came down:

"You ...... Who are you? ”

Luo Qingyi's face sank:

"Is it your turn to ask us?"

He did evil deeds, and the old man was startled again, and said in a trembling voice:

"I, I'm here to watch the post.

"You ...... Who are you?

"Yes...... Is it an official who stayed overnight in the past?

"Or ...... Or a strongman who wants to come to the pavilion to loot?

"I, I tell you...... This place is not far from Qiuci County.

"If you dare to make trouble here, the official of Qiuci County is not easy to mess with."

When he said this, his eyes were full of evasion, and he seemed to be very afraid.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly:

"Don't be afraid, sir. We're not strongmen, we're just passing through. ”

"That's it...... Official? ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately straightened his waist, and couldn't help but say angrily:

"What the hell is going on with you officials? Can you discipline your men...... What if it hurts someone?

"I'm an old man, how can I withstand this toss?"

Jiang Ran grinned:

"We're not officials."

“……”

The old man's waist pole suddenly bent down at a speed visible to the naked eye:

"That'...... So who are you? ”

"Passers-by."

Jiang Ran said softly: "Seeing that the sky is gradually changing, I happened to pass by here, so I planned to come here to spend the night." ”

"No, no, no."

The old man shook his head again and again:

"This place is a pavilion, and there are officials who come and go, and there are also key secrets for the imperial court to pass on books.

"How can idle people linger? What if the secret is leaked?

"You ...... Go away quickly and find another place. ”

Tang Huayi glanced at the old man and said to Jiang Ran in a low voice:

"He's either pretending to be a ghost, or he's really confused."

Jiang Ran groaned slightly, and then said softly:

"Don't you know that this place has been abandoned for many years?

"The new autumn post is still twenty miles away."

"Autumn Resignation...... Twenty miles away? ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and the whole person stayed in place.

His eyes were full of confusion.

After a long while, this confusion recovered for the time being, and when I looked at Jiang Ran and the others again, it seemed like the first time I saw them.

Visibly taken aback:

"You ...... Who are you?

"What are you doing here?

"Is it an official who stayed overnight in the past?

"Or a strongman who wants to come to the pavilion to loot?

"I, I tell you...... This place is not far from Qiuci County.

"If you dare to make trouble here, the official of Qiuci County is not easy to mess with."

“……”

As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at each other.

Jiang Ran's expression was strange:

"Is this a memory rollback?"

groaning slightly, he said softly:

"Don't worry, boss, we are officials who went to Changqing Mansion to take office.

"Look, this is my token."

He casually took out a token and shook it in front of the old man.

Before he could see it clearly, he had already taken it back.

The old man was stunned, then nodded:

"I see, then you can come in with me."

Ruan Yuqing smacked her lips:

"It's that simple?"

"It's not that simple...... Isn't this old man confused? ”

Jiang Ran said: "I also tried to fool it, but I didn't expect it to be really fooled." ”

"It's better to be careful, this old man is weird, I'm afraid that you think you're fooling him, but in fact he is fooling you."

Tang Huayi obviously knew this very well.

After all, she is a demon witch, and she has an extraordinary study in this way.

Jiang Ran glanced at her and felt that this was a good word and worth remembering.

settled the carriage and horses, and beckoned everyone to follow the old man to the pavilion.

By this time, it was completely dark outside.

The rickety old man didn't know where it came from, so he took out an oil lamp, took out a fire fold and lit it, and the faint light pushed away the darkness, but made his own figure look more and more terrifying.

The oil lamp was placed on the table in the lobby of the inn, and it barely shone a little.

Only then did the old man speak:

"There are three floors on the first floor, and there are six rooms on the first floor.

"You can distribute it yourself.

"I'm hungry here, so I'll go and get you something to eat and drink."

"Don't dare to trouble my husband."

Jiang Ran whispered to stop him:

"Dare to ask where is the kitchen? We have food with us, so we can borrow it from the kitchen. ”

"Okay."

The rickety old man's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Ruan Yuqing's body:

"Then come with me, girl."

Ruan Yuqing:

“……”

Luo Qingyi stood up with a hula:

"Lead the way."

"Huh?"

The rickety old man was stunned:

"You cook?"

"No?"

"It's not ......"

The rickety old man turned his head and shook his head as he walked:

"Hey, girl now......"

He led the way in front of him, and Luo Qingyi walked behind him, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a cook.

Actually, he wasn't ......

It's just that in their group, he can cook and eat.

Over time, it is not a chef but also a cook, and the craftsmanship is getting better and better, attracting praise from everyone.

Luo Qingyi was also in this voice of praise, and gradually lost himself.

forgot that he was originally a heroic figure.

also once infiltrated Feiyun Village, fought thieves, and turned things around.

Jiang Ran asked Li Tianyu to join him, and they also had to take care of each other.

After the three of them left, Jiang Ran assigned a room to everyone.

There's not much to say about that.

It's just that everyone is a little hesitant about this post station and this old man.

Jingtan Lay Priest says:

"If this place has been abandoned for so long, why has this man not left here?

"The post station is relocated, if he is an old man in the post station, he should also leave, there is no reason to stay here......"

"When we opened the door of the inn, we found that there was no dust on the knocker and the door had not been locked.

"I thought someone had entered the post station before us to spend the night. Unexpectedly, there were already people in this station. ”

Jiang Ran groaned and spoke:

"And this old man is confused, and he doesn't know if it's true or not, so be careful and be careful of deception."

Everyone nodded.

And at this moment, Jiang Ran suddenly looked out of the door again:

"Someone's coming."

Not long after his words fell, everyone heard a few footsteps slowly approaching, and heard a soft shout:

"Anyone?

"I see that the lights in the room are still on, and passers-by suddenly encounter the night rain, and want to take advantage of it, I don't know if it is convenient?"

The people who came obviously knew that this post station had been abandoned, so it was naturally on a first-come, first-served basis.

Words are also polite.

It's just that Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi heard this person's voice, but they couldn't help but glance at each other.

I saw Jiang Ran wave his hand.

The door of the pavilion opened violently.

Several people outside the door suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The leader was a white-robed scholar.

With a smile on the front, curious to watch.

When he saw Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi, his expression stiffened slightly.

And beside him were four young men and women.

Some dress up as laymen, and some dress up as Taoist priests.

Ruan Yuqing glanced at the robe and suddenly changed slightly:

"A man of the Tao Sect."

Jiang Ran's expression moved slightly, but he chuckled:

"It's really a place where you don't meet in life, Brother Dao, it's been a long time."

"Hahaha."

The scholar at the head was immediately happy:

"Indeed, it has been several months since Benma County parted so far.

"I didn't expect to see Brother Jiang here, Brother Jiang's demeanor is still the same, which is worth celebrating.

"Come on, come on...... As the so-called long drought meets nectar, when you meet your old acquaintance in another country, the candle night in the cave room, and the title of the gold list.

"These are the four great joys of life.

"Being able to reunite with Brother Jiang here this time is really worth a lot!"

As he spoke, he led a few people in.

I heard a woman behind him whisper:

"Ruan Yuqing?"

Hearing this person speak, Ruan Yuqing just fell on her, looked at it a little, but was a little unfamiliar, and couldn't help asking:

"Your Excellency?"

As soon as these words came out, it made the girl's face darken:

"You don't remember me?"

“…… Forgive my clumsiness. ”

Ruan Yuqing hugged her fists a little embarrassed.

"Two years ago, I went to the Water Moon Sword Sect to ask for advice on your sect's swordsmanship.

"I once had a relationship with you, and I fought three moves.

"With the guidance of Sister Ruan...... But I didn't expect that Sister Ruan was a noble person who forgot a lot, but she forgot about my defeat and forgot it cleanly. ”

When the girl said this, although she forcibly suppressed the anger on her face, she was also a little indignant.

"Two years ago?"

Ruan Yuqing thought about it carefully for a while, and then asked with some uncertainty:

"Listen to the rain building...... Flip the sword Gu Shengyan Gu junior sister? ”

Hearing Ruan Yuqing say this, Gu Shengyan turned his anger into joy:

"Sister Ruan, do you remember me?"

"How could you not remember?"

Ruan Yuqing smiled when she heard this: "I have experienced a lot of things recently, and I have seen too many people. So much so that the brain is a little less clear...... Senior Sister Gu must not be blamed. I still remember that Senior Sister Gu's three swordsmanship skills that day were 'Hearing the Night Rain', 'The Rain Hitting the Plantain', and 'A Thousand Sounds in a Bunch'.

"I have really cultivated this set of [Xiaofeng Listening to the Rain] swordsmanship to the realm of perfection.

"If it weren't for me being a few years older and having the soft water sword by my side, I'm afraid I would have been defeated a long time ago."

Gu Shengyan's face was even more happy when he heard this, but he shook his head again:

"Sister Ruan can talk and make people happy, if I really have that ability, how can I be defeated in three moves?

"Actually, my sister's swordsmanship is very powerful...... Hey, after two years of grinding, I have improved my martial arts, but I don't know when I have time to ask my sister for two more tricks. ”

Listen to what they have to say.

Jiang Ran couldn't help but set his eyes on them.

The nameless took the opportunity to introduce Jiang Ran to the people around him.

That little Taoist priest is indeed a member of the Taoist sect.

The road number Qingyuan, standing tall, humble and polite, does not have the slightest support as the first golden cicada, but is a gentle drizzle, with a breeze on both sleeves, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

The rest except for Gu Shengyan who listened to the rain building, the man and the woman were all from Qifeng Villa.

The identities are extraordinary.

The man is the son of the owner of Qifeng Villa, Fengwu.

The woman is his senior sister, Ning Jiu Kite, the eldest disciple of Qifeng Villa.

Jiang Ran's side naturally reported his identity.

When they heard the names of Jingtan monks and others, these young juniors naturally couldn't help but be courteous.

And some of them have heard of the famous name.

knows that this person cherishes words like gold, has strong martial arts, and is not an ordinary person.

It's just that when I finally heard Jiang Ran's name.

The expressions of several people changed.

Feng Wu looked at Jiang Ran:

"Original...... You are the Amazing Knife Jiang Ran.

"On the eighth day of October, a tea tasting and piano appreciation conference will be held on the sunset floor...... Do you know that if you are careless, you will bring about your own destruction? ”
