Chapter 455: The Beginning
Heavenly Demon Great Freedom is a concept.
A yearning that does not set any shackles in the heart, does what you want, and is unbridled and free.
The so-called demon is in the human heart, that is, there will always be people who are unwilling to live according to the rules and regulations of this world.
As long as there are people who still yearn for it, the Demon Cult will never disappear.
When the power of the Demon Cult is weakened, it may be broken by a master who is extremely strong for a while, and it will be torn apart.
But this is only temporary.
There is no one who can truly erase the Demon Cult from this world.
Chu Yunniang understood this.
And after observing Jiang Ran for a period of time, she found that instead of being so persistent in fighting against the Demon Sect, she couldn't stop the spread of the Demon Sect, so it was better to stay by Jiang Ran's side while Jiang Ran was the Demon Venerable of the Demon Sect.
Try to change the Demon Sect from Jiang Ran.
In the same way, this is also what Jiang Ran did.
So, to a certain extent, the two of them are not enemies.
She didn't know if this was a one-and-done solution, but it was undoubtedly much easier than using force to break up the Demon Cult again.
You don't need a hammer to beat the drums, and you don't have to go so far to talk to smart people.
Jiang Ran understood what Chu Yunniang meant, and Chu Yunniang looked at Jiang Ran:
"So, what exactly do you want to do to them on this occasion?"
Jiang Ran touched his chin and said:
"If you want to join the Demon Sect, it's not easy.
"Although my Demon Sect is inclusive, I can let Chu Nanfeng's descendants join...... It's still a bit too much.
"Also...... I know what you want to do.
"But don't be too naΓ―ve in everything. As far as I've learned...... The word Demon Cult sometimes often means fear, sin, and some people just because you are involved with these two words, even if you don't do anything, you have to die. β
"You're talking about the three monks who abstain from evil?"
Chu Yunniang sighed softly, the death of the three monks, she had already guessed that it was Jiang Ran's hand.
This remark can be regarded as a corroborative evidence.
Jiang Ran poured a cup of tea and said softly:
"So, tomorrow is not destined to be too peaceful.
"Some people have to die eventually, otherwise, they won't be able to achieve the results I want.
"If you want to help them, don't think I can accept you......
"Also, a word of caution, what you said tonight has driven you to the tightrope of a cliff.
"I can put you in a dilemma if I want to.
"It's not a good idea to put yourself in such a situation."
Chu Yunniang fell silent.
As soon as he said that he wanted to join the Demon Sect, Jiang Ran did have a way to deal with her.
Just ask for a vote, and then tell the world about Chu Nanfeng's descendants joining the Demon Sect.
In Chu Yunniang's life, she never had the opportunity to stand on the right side and draw a sword against Jiang Ran...... She will not be allowed to be in the right path from now on.
You can only go one way to the dark.
If it fails, in the next few hundred years, whenever someone mentions Chu Nanfeng, they will pull out their unscrupulous descendants and scold them.
These are all facts before us.
"So, you can see my determination."
Chu Yunniang took a deep breath:
"You can think about this carefully...... If you and I don't think too much of each other, I'm willing to take a step back. β
Jiang Ran stared at Chu Yunniang and smiled dumbly:
"I'm worried that you can't help yourself at the end of the day, so you can only retreat again and again."
"If I really fell into such a situation, then I can only be regarded as me, and I don't know anyone......"
Chu Yunniang's attitude did not change.
Jiang Ran's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and then stood up:
"I'll think about it, and in the same way, think about it.
"Well, since your martial arts have been restored, there is no need to continue to restrict them, Miss Chu is just fine."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked straight out.
Chu Yunniang watched his back disappear from view, and then exhaled softly.
Tonight's action is not only a great determination, but also a huge risk.
She didn't dare to guarantee that Jiang Ran would not kill herself directly without doing anything when she found out that her martial arts had recovered.
Although Jiang Ran himself would say that he was greedy and lustful.
At the beginning, Chu Yunniang often had this kind of sense of crisis...... I was afraid that Jiang Ran would do something to her.
But after such a long time.
She could be sure that even if Jiang Ran's greed for flowers and lust was true, when he wanted to destroy flowers with his hot hands, he would definitely not hesitate at all.
Therefore, Chu Yunniang could not guarantee that she would be safe and sound.
Fortunately, she is still alive now.
And it has also taken a step forward......
She wanted to take a very different path than her predecessors, and now she didn't know if it was right or wrong.
But in the face of someone like Jiang Ran, this was her only way.
After closing her eyes and calming her mind a little, she closed the door.
Tonight is at this point, and it is completely peaceful.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day, Zhen Cheng got up early in the morning.
Although I don't know when the people of the Demon Sect will arrive today, they should naturally arrive earlier.
Therefore, after getting up and tidying up a little, he went to find Jiang Ran.
When he arrived in the yard, he didn't see Jiang Ran first, and saw Tian Miaomiao squatting on the ground washing his face.
His steps suddenly became lighter......
I didn't spend a long time with Tian Miaomiao yesterday, but this girl made a deep impression on him.
He really didn't want to disturb her if it wasn't necessary.
At the same time, there is another thing that Zhen Cheng has also recognized...... That is, there is no one around Jiang Ran who is easy to match.
It's good that he doesn't let go of his steps, but this step is light, but he was discovered by Tian Miaomiao.
Glancing back at him, he suddenly smiled:
"Wooden face, you're here!"
ββ¦β¦β
Zhen Cheng said with a dark face:
"Girl, my name is Zhen Cheng."
"You're not wooden-faced?"
Tian Miaomiao felt puzzled.
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
Zhen Cheng really couldn't refute it, half of his face was made of wood:
"But my name is Zhen Cheng."
"Then your face is still wood."
Tian Miaomiao suddenly relieved:
"Wooden face, you're here!"
Why do you have to say hello again?
Zhen Cheng decided not to waste his tongue with her here:
"Where's your son-in-law?"
"Childe is in the room."
She snapped a finger.
Zhen Cheng subconsciously wanted to go to Jiang Ran's room, and then listened to Tian Miaomiao say:
"Madame is there too."
Zhen Cheng didn't want to think about it, so he hurriedly took two steps back.
Then he clenched his fists and said:
"Brother Jiang, Zhen Cheng visits."
"Come in, the door is unlocked, and your clothes are neatly dressed."
Jiang Ran's voice came from inside the house.
Zhen Cheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that this tone seemed a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, so he pushed open the door and went in.
Sure enough, I saw Jiang Ran sitting on the bed, holding Ye Jingshuang with one hand and Ye Jingxue with the other, and was talking about something next to Ye Jingxue's ear.
The face and ears that Ye Jingxue said were red.
Zhen Cheng hated to gouge out his eyes.
What did you see early in the morning?
"Sit."
Jiang Ran seemed to be fine, and stretched out his hand to let Zhen Cheng sit down first.
Zhen Cheng was about to sit down obediently, but suddenly reacted:
"What are you sitting on? Time waits for no one, we have to hurry up.
"The Demon Sect may arrive when, and it will be too late to go."
ββ¦β¦ OK, OK, OK. β
Jiang Ran pursed his lips:
"That's it, then let's go, by the way, have you had breakfast?"
"Didn't eat ......"
"I'll eat some."
"Okay."
Zhen Cheng felt that this conversation was weird, as if he was chatting with the second brother of the neighbor, how could there be any grandeur of ambushing the Demon Sect?
However, Jiang Ran said that he was also moving quickly.
directly asked Tian Miaomiao to find Luo Qingyi, and soon the group was ready to go.
Jiang Ran, Ye Jingshuang, Ye Jingxue, Eldest Princess, Luo Qingyi, Princess Xiyue, including Liu Mucheng, everyone is available.
Zhen Cheng glanced at it twice, feeling as if there was one less person.
Recently, there seems to be a little girl around Jiang Ran, and he doesn't know who it is, the girl's family, and he can't ask around.
This will not be seen......
But it's not worth thinking about.
Maybe just a passerby?
Immediately, Chen Mu and other disciples of Xuanji Academy were called, and the group went out.
There is a big restaurant in this Qi'an town.
The restaurant quotes the name of the town, which is called Qi'an Building.
The Qi'an Building spans two parts of the street and is connected by a wooden cloister.
Standing on the top of the cloister, you can see the largest street in Qi'an Town, and you can also see the two entrances in front and back of Qi'an Town at a glance.
It can be said that standing here, you can bring Qi'an Town into view.
Now there are people in the cloister.
Although the second floor was overcrowded, no one came to fight for that spot.
Zhen Cheng explained to Jiang Ran:
"This person is the eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Baili.
"His family heirloom can enhance his ears and eyes, and with him here, he can detect the slightest disturbance in the two portals."
Jiang Ran nodded.
And just as he nodded, Xiao Baili seemed to hear them talking, so he glanced at them.
Jiang Ran immediately grinned at him.
Xiao Baili was not interested in this worthless smile, and after glancing at it with some disgust, he sat there again like an old monk in his meditation.
"It's pretty cold."
Jiang Ran smiled at Zhen Cheng.
Zhen Cheng also smiled:
"That's right...... The four great families all have their own pride. β
"Isn't the pride of the Qiu family just a succession?"
Jiang Ran said casually.
ββ¦β¦β
Zhen Cheng couldn't cry or laugh:
"The Qiu family's [Qianqiu Introduction] is also an immortal science...... Qianqiu Yin only passed on to the head of the family, otherwise, the second son of Qiu would not have made such a decision. β
And when it came to the Qiu family, Jiang Ran had already seen Bai Lu and Jin Ge.
Bai Lu and Jin Ge also saw Jiang Ran at this time.
They immediately stood up and wanted to invite him to sit with them.
Jiang Ran waved his hand and asked them to sit first, and there were other arrangements on his side.
The arrangement is not a particularly good arrangement, not even a window seat.
But the table was not small, and everyone sat down, and they were all able to sit down.
Of course, this is also because Chen Mu of Xuanji Academy took his junior brothers and sisters to meet the people of Xuanji Academy first, otherwise, it would be impossible to sit down.
Jiang Ran asked Zhen Cheng:
"You're not going to find the people from Baimumen?"
"I have a transcendent status, if their juniors don't come to me, how can I find them?"
"Amazing, amazing."
Jiang Ran stretched out his thumb, and then found the little second brother.
Although this is a place where a group of heroes gather, they are ready to fight to the death with the Demon Sect.
But at the end of the day, it's still a restaurant.
It's so full early in the morning, but if everyone comes to occupy a table and drink a glass of water, the restaurant owner will have to cry to death.
Jiang Ran found the little second brother and asked for a large table of wine and food in the blink of an eye.
"Anyway, it's still early, and everyone hasn't eaten, so let's watch while eating."
Zhen Cheng naturally has no opinion.
As the dishes were served, everyone began to move their chopsticks.
Jiang Ran looked around from time to time, and Zhen Cheng explained to him what the identities of these people were.
In the corner of the restaurant, a few big monks sitting on the ground naturally don't need to say much.
He is a high monk of the Great Buddha Temple.
Except for Xiao Baili of the Xiao family, everyone else of the four great families was also in this courtyard, and they each found a place by the window to sit down.
Most of the people from the Six Gates are in the opposite building.
There are also some scattered people.
There are always some masters in the rivers and lakes who are neither among the six sects nor from the four families of the two academies, but they can create a great reputation.
For example, the master who won the Divine Sword, the Melting Divine Sword won the White Eyebrows, is such a person.
In addition to him, there are also some good players who have become famous alone.
In addition to the six gates, two courtyards and four families in today's field, the most eye-catching are two people.
One is a white-eyed old man.
This man was dressed in white, with a white beard and white eyebrows, and was holding a wooden staff in his hand, fluttering like an old fairy descending to earth.
This person is known as the peach man and the peach man.
It is said that his martial arts cultivation is very amazing.
Zhen Cheng told Jiang Ran, don't look at Tao Shanweng's name and kindness, he is also kind, but when he was young, he was a not very kind master.
Carrying a peachwood cane, he dared to go to the six doors to block the door and challenge the six masters.
Often beaten by the six doors of the head of the rat.
But he was beaten today, and he dared to go tomorrow.
came and went, and the martial arts became more and more powerful.
At the peak, one person faced the two masters of the six gates, and he didn't fall behind.
Although this does not mean that his martial arts must be above the two major masters, after all, there are too many elements that can affect the final victory or defeat in the competition.
But after this battle, his reputation has also skyrocketed.
And as he gets older, his temper becomes softer and softer.
Now because of his smiling face, he is very loved by the younger generations on the rivers and lakes.
As for the other person, it was Shang Wuming who was sitting next to Bai Lu.
This man is also a legend.
Zhen Cheng told Jiang Ran that this person had a bad family background since he was a child, although he had a good martial nature and extraordinary qualifications, he had no way to study.
Either you meet a liar, or you have a bad heart.
So much so that at the age of twenty, martial arts are still only scratching the surface.
Not even a decent sword.
Later, he suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared in the rivers and lakes, it was three years ago.
The nameless businessman who reappeared in the rivers and lakes is no longer the unknown person of the past.
Although his sword still looked like a joke, no one dared to laugh at him.
Those who laughed at him had already been defeated by the long sword that seemed like a joke.
It is reported that in the past three years, this person has experienced 86 battles, ranging from street ruffians to famous places in the rivers and lakes, from killers to dead soldiers...... There were at least thirty of the most dangerous battles, but there was never a single defeat.
The long sword, which looked like a joke, was stained with the blood of all kinds of characters.
Of course, it is unknown whether this person's martial arts can surpass the patriarchs of the four major families, the masters of the six sects, one of the presiding officers of the two academies, and one of the heads of the academies.
They don't have much chance of fighting each other.
"With these two here today, it's probably not bad......"
Zhen Cheng gently touched his chin:
"Although the Demon Sect is as good as a cloud, we are not necessarily bad here."
Jiang Ran suddenly smiled at this time:
"Brother Zhen, do you think it's really the Demon Sect that came today?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhen Cheng, but also several people at the table around him looked at him at the same time.
Zhen Cheng was stunned:
"What does Brother Jiang mean by this?"
"Jiang Ran can win the Divine Sword, and the Demon Sect may not really be the Demon Sect......
"Your country's rivers and lakes are turbulent, and there are always unpredictable changes between true and false.
"Who can cut through the clouds and see the truth?"
Jiang Ran poured himself a glass of wine, but did not drink it, but picked up a piece of lamb rib with chopsticks, dipped it in the seasoning, and ate it with relish.
Zhen Cheng frowned when he looked at it:
"Eat mutton early in the morning, and you're not afraid of getting on fire?"
Hearing Zhen Cheng say this, the people on the table on the side suddenly couldn't help it:
"What does this brother mean by that?
"You saw that Jiang Ran thief?"
The sweat on Zhen Cheng's head came out at once.
shouted Jiang Ran a thief in front of Jiang Ran.
Why is there always such a long life?
Jiang Ran was not angry, and said with a smile:
"I saw it, but it's a pity, it's a fake.
According to his own words, he was actually a disciple of the Melting Divine Sword to win Bai Mei in the past, and he won the Divine Sword.
"Pretending to be Jiang Ran to assassinate Princess Xiyue of the Ancient Kingdom of Akiba.
"It's just to set up a blame......
"Of course, we don't care whether the latter is true or not.
"But the former is absolutely true."
Everyone in the audience looked at each other for a while.
Then a man stood up and asked in a deep voice:
"Little brother, is this true? What proof do you have? β
Jiang Ran glanced at him, it was the head of the Ye family who spoke, and Zhen Cheng introduced this person, named Ye Xuan.
Immediately laughed:
"What proof does the Ye family master want?"
"Evidence that proves what you say is true."
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and said:
"Then if I say that I once encountered the Winning God Knife, assassinated Princess Xiyue, and rescued Princess Xiyue, is the Ye family master willing to believe it?"
ββ¦β¦ How to prove it? β
"Does someone have a certificate count?"
"Human witness...... Naturally, it can be counted, but it also depends on who it is? β
"Him."
Jiang Ran stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhen Cheng, and then looked at the monks of the Great Fanchan Monastery who looked at their noses, noses, mouths, and mouths:
In addition, the master of the Great Fan Monastery was also present at that time.
"If you can't believe this Zhen Cheng, who is full of unbelief, you can also ask the senior monks of the Dafan Monastery present, is what you are saying is false or true?"
