Chapter 347: Ruyi Lock
Jiang Ran's face showed a look of 'surprise' appropriately, but his heart was far calmer than he imagined.
It seems that in this river and lake, whenever it comes to the First World War twenty years ago, it is always impossible to avoid the battle between the five major powers and the Demon Sect back then.
It's just that the cause of that battle was because of a magic weapon of the Demon Sect.
It is said that this thing can change the day and has unpredictable power.
If you get it, you can win the world.
It is rumored that the reason why the Demon Sect was able to create a huge demon kingdom back then was precisely because of this divine weapon.
After this matter was known to the Lord of the Five Kingdoms, there was the battle of the Five Kingdoms back then, in order to find the divine weapon hidden by the Demon Sect.
Jiang Ran felt that this matter was actually a bit unreliable.
Let's not say whether this divine soldier is real or not...... If it is true, a hundred years ago, when Chu Nanfeng destroyed the main altar of the Demon Sect, why didn't the Demon Sect use this thing to resist?
Not to mention...... If the Demon Sect really had such a thing back then, how could this great Demon Kingdom fall apart? Transformed into today's five-nation pattern?
But now that Guanlan is allowed to say this, maybe the blood cicada really discovered it in that battle...... Or maybe it's found something.
That's what has changed since then.
Not only that, Jiang Ran thought of more things.
At that time, when I was at the Autumn Resignation Station, I mentioned that the first emperor had sent people to find the method of immortality.
In fact, it is the first sorrow of the eternal to find the Demon Sect.
But in the end, it didn't matter if it was not found, and the court suddenly died down, as if all this had never happened.
This is very unconscionable.
Jiang Ran mentioned this matter to Dao Wuming at that time, and the two of them actually suspected that there was something wrong in the capital at that time.
I am afraid that there are people around the emperor who have bad intentions.
Now I heard Ren Guanlan say that the blood cicada has a heart of disobedience.
Judging from the performance of the eldest princess, she really thinks that the blood cicada has disappeared, but in fact, if Ren Guanlan's words are true, then this blood cicada is only hidden deeper.
While stirring up the wind and rain in the court, he reached into the rivers and lakes and secretly manipulated the situation.
If this is the case, then this blood cicada is indeed more terrifying than imagined.
Even...... Jiang Ran couldn't help but wonder if Heavenly Que was also part of the Blood Cicada Plan...... Or, simply the Heavenly Lord, who had already joined the Blood Cicada?
After all, after Jiang Tianye died, this Venerable Lord secretly joined the Heavenly Que, and later mixed up to the apex position.
Under the pretext of inheriting Jiang Tianye's legacy, he began to do anything wrong in this Jianghu area.
Using the right respect's plan to abandon Tianyue, it has contributed to the situation that Qingguo and Jin Cicada are now in the city, and it is also called the blood cicada in Jin Cicada, and it has the possibility to play by using the topic.
It's just that the idea is just one idea nowadays.
There is no evidence to prove the relationship between Jun He Zai and the Blood Cicada.
What's more, except for Ren Guanlan, there is no evidence to prove the existence of the blood cicada.
The thoughts in his heart rolled over and over again, and the eldest princess also fell into silence unexpectedly.
After a while, he slowly spoke:
"In other words, the reason why you colluded with Qingguo was because of the instructions of the blood cicada?
"Because you know that you can't resist, you don't dare not listen?
"But this is a great sin of treason!
"Even if you are the leader of the gangs in the rivers and lakes, when you encounter this kind of thing, haven't you thought of directly exposing the blood cicada to the imperial court?"
"Yes."
δ»»guanζΎ says:
"It's not me, but I know that they're just as controlled by the Blood Cicada as I am.
"At that time, the blood cicada did not express its position so directly...... But from their inconsistent attitudes, it is not difficult to see that they have a heart of disobedience.
"Therefore, those people reported to the imperial court, hoping to attract the attention of the emperor."
"The result?"
Although the eldest princess asked so, when she asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart.
Sure enough, I heard Ren Guanlan sigh softly:
"They were destroyed overnight.
Although it was said at the time that the murderer was someone else...... And it was soon conferred.
"But I knew that the murderer was not him.
"It's a blood cicada...... Because, there was another thing back then, which came from the hands of blood cicadas.
"The golden cicada in it sheds its shell and plants the blame, which is exactly the same."
"Oh?"
Jiang Ran asked:
"How did the golden cicada get out of its shell, and how did it plant the blame?"
"Speaking of which......"
Ren Guanlan was entangled for a moment and asked:
"I don't know if you two have ever heard of it, the demon is away from the monster Ke Bei gave birth to his person?"
The eldest princess nodded slightly, the name of Ke Beisheng is actually not small, she naturally knows it.
Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed slightly:
"Do you want to say that the Zhao family's affairs back then were done by the blood cicada?"
"Jiang Daxia actually knows much about this?"
Ren Guanlan was also a little surprised: "I didn't expect Jiang Daxia to be so well-informed at such a young age." β
Jiang Ran couldn't care about being happy.
When he met Ke Beisheng, it was before he arrived in Jinyang Mansion.
Because of the grudge with the Fierce Sword Sect, Ke Beisheng went to Dong Qingcheng for their trouble.
And the cause of this grievance was because the Fierce Sword Sect thought that the Zhao family was slaughtered by Ke Beisheng, and then chased and killed them along the way, and finally Agni gave Ke Beisheng a knife and almost cut his head in half.
Ke Beisheng was originally just a young man who had just come out of the rivers and lakes and was full of spirit.
But because of this incident, he became an old man from a young man.
has lived in the shadow of being hunted down all his life...... The personality is naturally extreme and eccentric, which is why he has the name of a demonic monster.
Although Jiang Ran was not sure whether these things were true or false at that time, he did not cut off his head.
It's just that the real reason is not because he wants to find out the truth of this person, but because Liu Yuanzhi's meeting is imminent, and a few of them impersonate it, and there will inevitably be a risk of exposure.
But Ke Beisheng doesn't have to pretend...... He went in directly and brightly, which was one of Jiang Ran's best internal responses.
As a result, the ending of this scene in Liuyuan was unexpected.
Because of the appearance of the owner of Zuo Daozhuang, the secret of the underground of Liuyuan was revealed in advance, and Jiang Ran had to leave Liuyuan one step ahead.
Ke Beisheng was left behind in Liuyuan.
After that, he made a little trick, and planned to use this to capture all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the willow courtyard.
But I didn't expect that I was unintentionally the lord of the mansion who did something nonsense, and the destruction was clean.
In the end, even Ke Beisheng was taken away by the Wuxin Mansion Master.
Now that Ren Guanlan mentioned this matter, in this way, Ke Beisheng is really innocent?
Then the grievances of his life have to be counted on the head of the blood cicada?
Ren Guanlan's words continued.
said why the Zhao family was targeted by the blood cicada, how to destroy the full door, how the golden cicada came out of its shell, and how to plant the blame.
The means are truly extraordinary.
At the end, Ren Guanlan sighed:
"We have seen this method with our own eyes, and then they will use it again, and naturally they will not be able to hide it from our eyes.
"It's also an example of what they're doing."
"What about the court?"
The eldest princess hurriedly asked.
"The Imperial Court? The court meeting of the imperial court was held as scheduled, and there was no trace of this matter at all.
"They fought for their lives, and in the end, they only ended up with the whole family's head hanging in front of their own door."
The eldest princess closed her eyes.
And Jiang Ran asked softly:
"Is there a way to contact them?"
Ren Guanlan shook his head:
"Every time they look for me, I can't go to them."
"Who is the person looking for you?"
"It's a young man with a little pale."
What surprised Jiang Ran was that the young man who went to see Ren Guanlan was unmasked.
As Ren Guanlan said this person's voice and appearance little by little, Jiang Ran's heart already had the appearance of a young man with a pale face, narrow eyes, and sharp eyes.
"By the way, the most impressive thing about this person is that there is a lock around his neck......"
"Longevity lock?"
The eldest princess was stunned: "What's impressive about this, although it's old...... But if you like it, hanging is nothing. β
"No, it's not a longevity lock...... It is a wishful lock. β
Ruyi lock!
As soon as these three words came out, Jiang Ran and the eldest princess glanced at each other.
Just because, this is one of the twelve heavenly coincidences!
There are a total of twelve pieces of Twelve Heavenly Skill, and Fenghuo Lanshan wrote a volume of Twelve Heavenly Clever Records for this purpose.
It's just that in the inheritance of these twelve days, after several ups and downs, it was finally divided into two.
Half of the volume is missing, and the other half of the volume is shelved by the Qingguo Baimu Gate.
The six pieces of the Twelve Heavenly Fortunes known to the world are from the half volume of the Hundred Wooden Gates.
They are the Jiaowei Qin, the Eternal Candle, the Ruyi Lock, the Tianyin Xiao, the Purple Jade Futon and the Star Picker.
Jiao Weiqin is now eating ashes in Jiang Ran's hands, although the power of this thing is huge, but Jiang Ran's martial arts are too high, and it is really useless to bring this thing.
It's been hidden in the secret compartment of the carriage.
But I didn't expect that after walking the rivers and lakes for so long, I finally heard the second twelve-day coincidence...... It turned out to be in the hands of the blood cicada?
Jiang Ran and the eldest princess could see the look of surprise in each other's eyes.
It's just that Jiang Ran found that in addition to surprise in the eyes of the eldest princess, there was some inexplicable brilliance.
Ren Guanlan hurriedly waved his hand:
"I don't know if it's ......
"He never used it to defend himself against an enemy.
"I've never seen anyone do it...... It's just that the lock is so big that it hangs around his neck, and it's too eye-catching.
"Not only that, but there are also two big characters written on the lock, 'Ruyi'.
So I couldn't help but call it a wishful lock.
"But whether it's the twelve days of the year or not, I don't know."
"Even if it's not, it's probably not far away."
Jiang Ran chuckled:
If not, who would write the word Ruyi on the lock, and hang it around their necks like this.
"Speaking of which, what is the magic of the Ruyi lock, can you two know?"
Ren Guanlan shook his head:
"I have limited knowledge under it, and I don't know if it's true."
"Ruyi Lock...... is a shapeshifting weapon. β
The eldest princess said:
"Wishful thinking, change as you like, it can be a long sword, it can be a spear, it can be a steel whip, it can be a heavy axe."
"If that's all, it doesn't seem to be as good as the Jiaoweiqin?"
"Hongu hasn't finished yet."
The eldest princess glanced at Jiang Ran:
"The most surprising thing is that in the Ruyi lock, there are one hundred and eighty-three hidden weapons, seventy-six kinds of poisons, three of which have no cure."
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly:
"After all these years, these poisons are still useful?"
"Nature is useless...... However, new poisons can be added. β
The eldest princess smiled:
"This is the 'skill' of the wishful lock.
"Fenghuo Lanshan did not explain how these poisons should be arranged, but only reserved holes for adding poisons.
"Once the poison in the Ruyi lock is exhausted, all kinds of poisons can be sent through the holes in different categories.
"These poisons will be sorted into categories and blended according to a specific proportion.
And ...... These poisons don't just work on hidden weapons.
"It can also be used on all kinds of transformation soldiers of the Ruyi Lock.
"Where exactly is it toxic...... Even if it's the person in control of the wishful lock, it's not clear.
"So when you use this thing, you need to be cautious.
"Three hundred years ago, Ruyi Lock appeared in the rivers and lakes, causing a series of bloody storms, and was finally snatched by one person, and hundreds of masters used killing tricks at the same time to snatch it.
The man directly activated the wishful lock.
"Almost instantly, those hundreds of masters were already dead and wounded!
"Those who survived were less than a handful.
"You need to know that those masters are not ordinary martial artists, and all of them are masters who can take charge on their own.
"After this battle, the wishful lock is missing again......"
Ren Guanlan was dumbfounded:
"There is such a thing?"
"The eldest princess knows so well?"
Jiang Ran was also a little surprised.
The eldest princess thought for a moment and said:
"Because the person who won the Ruyi lock back then was a member of my royal family.
After his people returned to the capital, they sealed all the news of the battle, and the five people who survived were also scared to dementia.
"Since then, the Ruyi lock has been included in the treasury of my golden cicada royal family.
"All the way up to ...... All the way up to ...... Alas...... Until my imperial grandfather gave him to the leader of the blood cicada back then.
"Since then, the Ruyi lock has been one of the treasures of the blood cicada.
"Twenty years ago, after the First World War, they said that wishful locks ...... It's been lost. β
"I see."
Jiang Ran nodded, no wonder the eldest princess had a different look in her eyes.
However, he didn't say much about it, but asked Ren Guanlan some more things.
It wasn't until it was certain that the person's knowledge was limited, and that he stopped.
Then asked Ren Guanlan:
"What is the next plan for the Alliance Master?"
ββ¦β¦β
Ren Guanlan didn't know what to say for a while.
I was originally a good person, and my family had grain, land, and a foundation...... As a result, it was sandwiched between the battle between the blood cicada and the eldest princess.
became an inexplicable victim.
Jiang Ran used the means of stealing the sky and saving his life.
Now I ask about the future......
How can you make your own decisions in the future?
If he leaves like this, can Jiang Ran rest assured?
Jiang Ran is at ease, and the eldest princess is not at ease either.
After a moment of silence, he clenched his fists and said:
"It's all up to Jiang Daxia and the eldest princess."
"That's ......"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:
"You're going to stay with me for a while.
"However, I can't show up for the time being, and I need to do a little trick to get into the 'newcomer'.
"After waiting for my trip to the capital, I expect that Blood Cicada's suspicion of Madame Zun and Ling Gongzi will also dissipate.
"At that time, the leader of the alliance can return to the Iron Cavalry Alliance.
"Just ......"
"I understand it below!"
Before Jiang Ran finished speaking, Ren Guanlan had already blurted out.
He knew what Jiang Ran was worried about......
Jiang Ran tossed around, and his purpose was nothing more than to help Xuanyuan expand the power of the Blood Sword Hall with one sword.
In fact, there are some theories about this matter.
At that time, Xuanyuan worshiped Jiang Ran as a teacher, although it was said that it was because of his words, and his words must be practiced.
But it also made a solid joke for many people.
After all, one is seventy or eighty, and the other is not standing in time, such an apprenticeship, it is true to laugh at other people's big teeth.
The result is good, since Xuanyuan apprenticed with a knife, the Blood Knife Hall has grown rapidly.
It has only been a long time, and the power has spread rapidly.
Not long ago, something happened on the side of Jinyang Mansion, and the Blood Knife Hall had completely used the excuse of Gu Renlong's son to clean up the power of Benlei Hall.
The entire expansion has been doubled.
At that time, some people were not convinced, but the Falling Flowers and Fireworks Alliance openly and secretly helped the Blood Knife Hall to speak.
Until this time, the Blood Knife Hall and the Falling Flower Smoke and Rain Alliance no longer covered up, and directly took down their Iron Cavalry Alliance with open fire.
There will be such a change in worshipping a teacher, if it is a change of place, Ren Guanlan will want to apprentice.
Of course, the people who laughed at Xuanyuan back then will have something to say when they arrive...... said that the reason why he apprenticed to the master was that he took a fancy to the martial arts of the amazing sword, and wanted to use the master to fight the country......
In Ren Guanlan's view, this is just that he can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
And now Jiang Ran is worried about nothing more than whether he will get in the way after he returns to the Iron Cavalry Alliance, so that his original plan will collapse.
So he didn't think about it and said:
"Jiang Daxia saved my life, since today I have finally escaped from the control of the blood cicada, if I still get in the way of this, and my true identity will come out, it will not only be my Iron Cavalry Alliance unlucky, but most of my family's lives will have to be explained.
"I'm going to keep my mouth shut about this matter no matter what.
"Please rest assured Jiang Daxia!"
When Jiang Ran heard him say this, he nodded lightly:
"The leader of the alliance is naturally able to distinguish the importance clearly......
"However, the Iron Cavalry Alliance is still your Ren Guanlan's Iron Cavalry Alliance.
"When everything is settled in the future, the Iron Knights will return to you.
"As for your son...... With such a big enemy as me standing in front of him, I expect him to be more diligent in practicing martial arts.
"I can't say it, but it's more successful."
Hearing Jiang Ran say that the Iron Cavalry Alliance would be handed over to him, Ren Guanlan was happy, but he didn't care too much.
But when he heard that Ren Chaosheng could become a talent, Ren Guanlan couldn't help but crack the corners of his mouth, but he hurriedly suppressed it, not daring to get too carried away:
"To borrow Jiang Daxia's auspicious words, alas, that kid, if I can have one out of ten out of Jiang Daxia, no, one out of a hundred, even if I die now, there is nothing to worry about."
