Chapter 203: Blatant
Jinqiu's surname is Guan, and his name is Guan Jinqiu.
He and Gu Xizhi are childhood sweethearts and have grown up together since childhood.
These two people bowed to the Azure Twin Swords Sect respectively.
Gu Xi's teacher should be silent from the 'Heavenly Sword'.
Guan Jinqiu studied under 'Qingjian' Xiao Wumei.
originally thought that they would become a pair of fairy couples like the masters of the two people.
Unexpectedly, when he went down the mountain into the rivers and lakes, he met the Jingtan monks.
The three of them were entangled like this, and in the end, Guan Jinqiu and the two of them did not choose either, and married Meng Huan, the owner of Purple Moon Mountain Villa, as his wife.
The direction of Purple Moon Mountain Villa and Jinyang Mansion where Jiang Ran was going was not very smooth, so he had to take a slight detour and go in the northwest direction.
After passing through two big cities, enter the East County Palace, and then turn to the west, you can enter the boundary of Ziyue Mountain.
It's not too far, it's not too close.
Even people with carriages have to walk for more than half a month.
For the first few days, it was peaceful.
After the battle of the Sunset Ping of Sanxian Mountain, everyone knew that Jiang Ran had lost Jiao Weiqin.
Naturally, no one counted them.
But who is Jiang Ran?
Knife catcher!
As a knife catcher, he wants to target others when no one is targeting him.
Therefore, the route chosen afterwards was either a deserted and dangerous road, or after inquiring, I knew that there was a place where mountain bandits and road tyrants gathered.
Even if the rewards given by these people can't work, you can stack buffs.
It turns out that this buff is really fragrant.
As a result, it was still peaceful!
Jiang Ran was a little puzzled:
"Could it be that these mountain bandits and road tyrants are all washing their hands in gold, and they don't make a living by blocking the road, killing people and robbing the road?
"Then in this world, what's the use of asking me to wait for the knife catcher?"
"The knife catcher is not just to catch these bandits......"
Tang Huayi rolled his eyes: "You can also catch the thief." ”
"Now there is not even a shadow of a thief, I'll grab a hammer."
"It's only been a few days since An's birthday, so you can stop a little.
"Don't think about yourself, you also think about the ancient, big, chivalrous, and thinking inside."
When it came to the words 'Gu Daxia', Tang Huayi gritted his teeth a little.
As a little demon girl of the Demon Sect, she really can't get used to this kind of pedantic righteous person.
Although it is said that there is no deep hatred, the difference in ideas is also extremely obvious.
Moreover, Gu Daxia is a good teacher.
I hate to pass on my thoughts to all directions and benefit the world.
For Tang Huayi's 'crooked and evil ways', he couldn't help but teach earnestly, wanting to make him change his evil and return to the right.
As a result, it was a happy break up every time.
Of course, Tang Huayi is angry and wants to vomit blood, but Gu Xizhi is really angry and vomits blood.
He was already seriously injured, and after Tang Huayi's careful 'care', he estimated that the injury that would have been healed in three months would have to lie down for a few more years.
The Jingtan monks were happy to see it, and they smiled but couldn't see their eyes.
Tang Huayi also complained a lot about this.
Jiang Ran couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, but he also felt as if he had changed a lot.
I don't know when he started to get used to his birthday.
There was no one chasing after him, trying to plot against him and assassinate him, and he felt that his life was much less interesting.
Jiang Ran also realized that this kind of thought was actually very dangerous.
There is no invincible person on this river and lake, even if it is the best in the world, it can't stop the sinister villain's bright and dark arrows.
Tigers also have times when they take a nap, and who can say that they can always be well guarded?
When this idea of escape arises, you have to be cautious, but if something goes wrong, something may happen.
With such introspection in my heart, I heard the sound of breaking the wind.
Immediately after the carriage sank, there was already one more person on the roof of the carriage.
The man carried a large bow on his back, held his arms, and had a solemn look on his face:
"Big brother, you guessed it right, these mountain bandits are dead."
"Huh?"
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance back at Li Tianyu:
"How did you die?"
"I followed the mountain road to look up and found a cottage on the mountain.
"It's just that the cottage has been burned down, and only a ruin remains.
"I rummaged through the rubble for a while and found some bodies, but they were just ......"
When Li Tianyu said this, he hesitated a little, and after a while, he said:
"These bodies were all killed before they were alive.
"Most of the corpses are fragmented, and the death is quite tragic......"
Jiang Ran was slightly silent, and couldn't help but glance at Tang Huayi: "Go and see?" ”
"Let's go."
Let the Jingtan monks wait in the carriage, and Li Tianyu pointed out the direction to Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi.
The two of them performed light skills and rushed in the direction of the cottage.
The road is not far, and the speed of the two of them is fast, but in the blink of an eye, they have already arrived at the place.
The situation is just as Li Tianyu said.
The entire cottage was burned to the ground, and several charred corpses, as well as pieces of meat that could not be seen, were picked out and placed in one place, obviously found by Li Tianyu and selected to check.
Jiang Ran also checked it a little:
"There is no black ash in the mouth and nose...... It was indeed not burned. ”
"This trace ......"
Tang Huayi looked at the broken body of the corpse, and frowned:
"It's not like a sword splitting and slashing, it seems to have been shattered by an extremely strong internal force.
"It's not so easy to shatter a living person."
Jiang Ran's lips moved, and before he could speak, he was glared at by Tang Huayi:
"Shut up!"
"I haven't said anything yet."
"You want to say it!"
“…… Are you still unreasonable? ”
"I just don't want to tell you!"
“……”
Jiang Ran took a deep breath, resisted the urge to pinch her to death, stood up and said:
"Something is wrong with this man......"
"Yes."
Tang Huayi also nodded:
"If it is done by a person in the righteous path, it should not even spare the old and the young, women and children.
"I just took a look and found the bodies of several children."
The children in the cottage will inherit their father's business and become a new generation of thieves in the future.
But if it is a person in the righteous path, it is often not to be wiped out.
On the contrary, it will take people out and find a suitable place for them to be raised.
"If it was done by people in the evil way, they would not easily kill these children......
"For example, Zuo Daozhuang, if it were them, these children would all be brought back.
"Some people with good qualifications will become fresh blood in Zuo Daozhuang, and those with poor qualifications will ......"
When Tang Huayi said this, he pondered for a while, and then said:
"They will be refined into 'Heartless Children', the dwarfs you saw earlier."
"I've never heard you say that before."
It was only at this time that Jiang Ran learned that the dwarfs who followed the young owner were also called mourning children.
Moreover, these people are not born.
Was it refined by Zuo Daozhuang?
How is this made?
"You haven't asked before."
Tang Huayi frowned:
However, it is difficult to speculate on the identity of the person who did this.
"It's possible that someone who has made a feud with this cottage has come to take revenge...... It is also possible that the evil way passing by was offended by them, and in a fit of anger, they killed people and set fires.
"From this trace, I'm afraid I can't find any clues."
Jiang Ran sighed:
"Don't let me find this man, or I'll have to let him know that he's powerful.
"What is this he burned? Is this human? Is this a bandit? It's money!! ”
Most importantly, it's his life!
As a result, it was burned.
It's good now, let alone looking at the portrait, even if you have a photo, no one can tell who is in these people.
“…… Death asks for money, you are a bit like Yan Wushuang.
"Honestly, do you have a crush on someone?"
Tang Huayi suddenly glanced at Jiang Ran: "If you want me to say, this Yan Wushuang is much older than you, I'm afraid she will be thirty this year, right?" Let me tell you, a woman of this age, even if she is not married, she must have a lover by her side.
"Don't be foolish, go back and be someone's guest again......
"Well, but if you just want to be romantic overnight, not for a long time, my sister won't mind if you steal fish occasionally."
Jiang Ran didn't hold back this time, and stretched out his hand to hit Tang Huayi's head hard.
Tang Huayi's eyes were filled with tears: "I was told that I was in my heart, and I was annoyed and angry!" ”
"No more nonsense, I'll hack you."
Jiang Ran was really speechless, no matter what he said, he would end up in a strange place.
Shaking their heads, they walked around the cottage again, and the two of them returned to the carriage.
The carriage was unharmed.
Just told the Jingtan monk about the matter, and the Jingtan monk was also a little confused.
"This is a passing master of the rivers and lakes, doing the right thing for heaven?"
This is just a casual remark, and everyone has not studied it deeply.
But after two more days, they felt that something was really wrong.
In the past two days, they found another cottage.
Inside the cottage, there are still corpses everywhere, and the entire cottage has also been burned.
The whole technique is exactly the same as the previous cottage.
This had to make Jiang Ran and the others suspicious.
But even if it is speculation, it can only be said that there is such a group of people, who are jealous and hateful, and are looking for trouble with bandits all over the world.
It wasn't ordinary people who were killed, even if they were suspicious, a few people just casually discussed it and it was over.
As the time went on, the weather became cooler day by day.
I don't know when, the sky began to float with fine and dense snowflakes.
"It was raining some time ago, and it's going to be snowing."
Tang Huayi stretched out his hand to take it, and suddenly looked at Jiang Ran:
"In just over two months, it's time for the New Year."
Between the words, there seems to be some hidden excitement.
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"Chinese New Year, ......"
For Jiang Ran, this seems like a distant story.
He'd been there before the crossing, but he didn't feel like it had any taste.
It's nothing more than eating a meal, watching a party, waking up, and the year has passed.
After the crossing, the old drunkard had no idea about this.
However, he has seen others from afar for the New Year, and the family is happy and reunited.
I couldn't help but chuckle:
"Do you have any expectations for this?"
Now it is the hour, and it is not yet noon.
A few people were eating at a tea shop on the side of the road.
Tang Huayi took a sip of the tea bowl and gently exhaled a breath of white air:
"Of course I'm looking forward to it......"
glanced around, and saw that Li Tianyu and Jingtan Monk had already finished eating and resting in the carriage.
Then he whispered to Jiang Ran:
"In the past, every year during the Chinese New Year, my father and mother would prepare new clothes for me.
"Make dumplings at night, there are copper coins in them, whoever can eat them, has good luck all year round.
"That's right, that's right, there's also New Year's money, I had it last year!"
“……”
Would the little demon girl of the Demon Sect still care about this kind of thing?
Jiang Ran grinned: "Okay, if you like it, I will also prepare New Year's money for you this year." ”
"Really?"
Tang Huayi's eyes lit up: "How much to prepare?" Last year, my dad prepared 10 ...... for me No, 10,000 taels!!
"As my brother-in-law, you must at least give more than my father. Count you 50,000 taels! ”
Jiang Ran hated to use chopsticks to whip this demon girl with the lion's mouth wide open.
Pouted: "After eating, hurry on the road, and you will go to the carriage for a while." ”
"Why? I'm not sleepy, and there's an ancient hero in the carriage, so I won't go. ”
"You'd better sleep for a while, there's everything in your dreams."
“…… Cheapskate. ”
Tang Huayi muttered, stood up with Jiang Ran, and prepared to return to the carriage.
Don't wait for the two of them to walk out of the tea shop.
The sound of galloping horses was heard in a hurry, and at the same time there was a creaking sound.
Jiang Ran and Tang Huayi glanced up, and saw a carriage dragged by two horses in the distance, driven by an old woman, galloping wildly!
The old woman's face was full of fierce anger, as if the two horses had some deep hatred for her.
The whip fell on the horse's buttocks without money, and there were bloody marks.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it was there.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, but he didn't plan to meddle in things.
I just feel that this old woman's posture of beating horses is wrong, and if she continues like this, she is afraid that the car will be destroyed and people will die.
Just as he was ignoring it, he heard a very small sound of breaking wind.
The old woman's head tilted, and the whole person suddenly fell from the carriage.
His eyes were round, and he didn't bat at death.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a figure volleying into the air, stepping on the roof of the carriage with one foot, and then flew down, stretched out his hand and pulled the reins, and whispered:
"Appeal !!"
It's just that the horse is already frightened, where is it so easy to stop?
He had been running with the horse for a while, and then he turned his head, and when he had completely calmed down, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ran and the others also saw this person's appearance clearly at this time.
Dressed in white, with a handsome face, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and a nose like a ridge, he was born with a good skin.
In fact, Jiang Ran was also very handsome.
Tang Huayi has always felt that Jiang Ran may be the most beautiful man in the rivers and lakes.
It's just that he never likes to pry himself, and he doesn't change his color even if the wind and rain fall.
This man in white is different.
Not only is he good-looking, but he is also good-looking.
He was dressed in white like a cloud, wearing a jade belt around his waist, his hair was tied with a jade hoop on his head, and he also wore a hosta.
The hand snapped open, but it was a folding fan.
There are four big characters written on the fan: there are flowers that can be folded.
"This ......"
Tang Huayi originally looked at the beautiful man very pleasing to the eye, but when he saw these four words, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Not like the good guys......"
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"You're not like a good person, and you're still so engaged?"
"Huh?"
Tang Huayi was also stunned, staring at Jiang Ran.
But at this moment, I saw the man in white standing tall and said softly:
"There is a girl in the long-term Wenhua family who has grown into a ......"
"Pull out the mountain and fight the world?"
Jiang Ran didn't know why, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but interject.
Tang Huayi burst out laughing on the spot.
The man in white didn't react, nodded slightly, and repeated:
"That's right, pull out the mountain and work hard to cover the world...... Yes? ”
Then he couldn't help but glared at Jiang Ran angrily: "Nonsense, abrupt beauty!" ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Jiang Ran waved his hand: "Brother Tai continues." ”
"What did I say?"
"Pull out the mountains and cover the world."
“…… Is this what I'm talking about? ”
The white-clothed man had green tendons on his head, and after glancing at Jiang Ran coldly, he let out a sigh:
"Even if you have good luck, if you weren't afraid of scaring the beauty, I would have to kill you today."
"It's horrible."
Jiang Ran smacked his lips and said to Tang Huayi: "It's really not like a good person. ”
"I'll just say it."
Tang Huayi glanced at Jiang Ran with a look of 'you have finally understood'.
The boy in white really can't stand it:
"I think you're deliberately looking for death!!"
At this point, he shook his hand, and two flying needles came suddenly.
The old woman died under this flying needle.
Jiang Ran didn't move, he saw the knife light together, and there were two dings, and the two flying needles were stopped by Tang Huayi with a single knife.
As soon as the internal force turned, the flying needle did not fall off, but stuck to the knife, and she shook her hand and returned it to the man in white.
The man in white reached out and caught it, frowning slightly, feeling that he had underestimated these two people.
Immediately snorted coldly, looked at the carriage again, and then opened the curtain and dragged out a girl inside.
Although the girl was dragged out by him, there was no weakness on her face.
It's just that his face is pale, and it seems that he has been tricked by something.
When he raised his eyes, it was full of cold killing intent.
The boy in white was unaware of this, looked at the girl proudly, and said with a smile:
"Flower girl, come with me.
"Waiting for you and me to achieve good things and spread them out is also a good story on the rivers and lakes."
"Boom!"
The girl spat at the face of the boy in white:
"Bai Xichao, you'd better kill me now!
"Otherwise, but if I have a chance to recover, I will make you unable to survive and die!!"
"Now you are speaking ill of me, and you hate to kill me and then hurry."
Bai Xichao chuckled: "But ah, I promise it won't be long, let's just you and me, life and death, we won't be separated, let's go!" ”
When he had said this, he was going to get up.
But I saw a figure flashing, followed by a knife falling from the sky.
As soon as Bai Xichao's face changed, the whole person was like a frightened rabbit, suddenly turned, and then suddenly, almost in the blink of an eye, he had already taken the girl to ten zhang away.
Listening to Tang Huayi's frowns, he looked at Jiang Ran:
"I'm thinking about it, the two of us have never quit the rivers and lakes.
"Why are today's flower thieves so blatant?"
As a result, I saw that Jiang Ran was flipping through a booklet, and after a while, he raised his head:
"Oh, it turned out to be the little silver dragon Bai Xichao!"
