Chapter 204: The Plum Cave Incident

When Li Xuan saw this beautiful scene, he was a little stupid for a while.

He was immersed in the beauty, when he suddenly felt Lu Ran's big hand let go, pointed to a steep and upright stone wall in the depths of the colorful plum blossoms and asked, "Is this person Li Shimin?" Li Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and looked along his direction, and saw that there was a cave about a foot high under the stone wall, and a small piece of flat land shaped like a small courtyard was paved with gravel in front of the cave. A few old plum trees grow naturally in the courtyard, and next to the stone bench and stone table polished by a few bluestone under the plum tree, there is a young man with a calm demeanor writing with a pen.

The young man lowered his head, the corners of his eyebrows did not move, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but judging from his delicate, graceful, and luxurious bearing, and from his calm, dignified, and extraordinary aura, wouldn't it be Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong!

Li Xuan saw that Li Shimin was really here, and he was secretly shocked.

Lu Ran saw that Li Xuan didn't answer him, and he didn't ask any more questions, because he had also felt the extraordinary aura of the young man in front of the cave at this time.

He squinted his eyes and couldn't help but mutter, "Pretending to be upright is bound to be deceitful." Hehe, such an arrangement is too underestimating the old man. As he spoke, Shi Shiran walked forward, like an elder who loves his son who is studying hard in the cold window, as if he wants to give loving care.

How could Li Xuan let him pass so calmly! He was about to stretch out his hand to stop him, but he saw a golden hook tiger claw suddenly fly out of the black pine canopy in front of him, grabbing it directly towards the top of Lu Ran's head. Lu Ran sneered and said, "I knew there would be tricks here, and sure enough, it was not. Before he could finish speaking, his left hand flicked his fingers, and a tiger's claw flew in the middle. only heard a loud sound, if the golden hook and tiger claw from the meteor were flicked by him, it was like hitting the iron wall of the copper wall, and immediately bounced back. Although this golden hook tiger claw was knocked back, two more golden hook tiger claws flew from the black pine canopy, one hit Lu Ran's head and neck, and the other hit his legs. The two tiger claws are like two flexible arms, containing the clever moves of the famous holy hand, and the exchange of attacks is a perfect attack.

Seeing this, Lu Ran looked disdainful, and still approached Li Shimin calmly, without looking at the tiger claw that attacked the head and neck, and the left hand was holding the vertical and internal breath, and in a moment, the tiger claw deviated from the direction, and at the same time, his right foot was lightly clicked, and the flying claw that hit the foot suddenly jumped up inexplicably, and happened to be staggered and entangled with the golden hook tiger claw that hit the head and neck.

Li Xuan saw that Lu Ran was swaying freely, not only defusing the fierce attack of the two golden hook tiger claws, but also stretching his arms, catching the entwined tiger claws in his hands, and secretly said in his heart: "The person who casts the golden hook and tiger claw is only afraid that there is danger!"

The person who fell obviously didn't expect that the Golden Hook Tiger Claw move that he relied on to become famous would be cracked by Lu Ran. There was a huge difference between his internal strength and Lu Ran's, how could he resist the other party's pull! Just as he couldn't control the downward trend, another sword light pierced Lu Ran's throat.

Lu Ran didn't care who the person who fell, and when he saw a sword light flying over, he sneered: "It turns out that they are all rats hiding their heads and tails." As he spoke, he opened his right hand and pinched the sword light with two fingers, and with a bang, the sword light was like a wind blowing a lamp, and it was extinguished in an instant.

Li Xuanjian saw that from the sneak attack of the golden hook and tiger claws to the flying of the sword light, it was only a matter of blink of an eye. Although the raiders took advantage of the time and place, they did not hurt Lu Ran's hair and prevented him from taking half a step forward, but exposed himself when his move failed.

Lu Ran proudly glanced at the two people who attacked him, and saw that one was tall and thin, with a sallow complexion, and the other was slightly chubby, white and clean. He stopped and said with a faint smile: "It turned out to be Situ Manshan, the owner of the Huashan Changkong Stack Empty Wind Gate, and Xue Wanli, the owner of Xuzhou Wanma Village! Haha, with the two of you such a bluffing ability to scare chickens and dogs, do you still want to stop the old man from moving forward?"

Seeing that Situ Manshan of Weizhen Huashan and Xue Wanli, who had been crisscrossing Xuzhou for decades, were slammed to the ground by Lu Ran, spurting blood from their mouths, and there was no help, but Li Shimin was still as indifferent as an old monk meditating and a saint contemplating. Lu Ran was a little surprised, and in surprise, he couldn't help but stop, slowly glanced around, and saw that there were seven more people with different appearances surrounding him.

The first person was wearing a blue shirt, his expression was solemn, his eyes were shining with cold light, and he stared at Lu Ran with cold eyes, and said slowly: "Mr. Lu is really strong in martial arts, and he really deserves to be the number one master under Wang Shichong." Lu Ran shook his fan and said lightly: "Lan Ji'an, Meng Nianhua, you clowns who jumped off the beam were not happy to go to the mountains to snatch the position of the chief bearer of the rivers and lakes, but what did you do here? Hehe, is it to escape the world, or to enjoy the plum blossoms, are you here to find a feng shui treasure for yourself?"

Lan Ji'an, the blue-shirted man, laughed and said in a deep voice: "What are we doing here, and what do we have to do with you? Mr. Lu, what are you doing here?"

Lu Ran said lightly: "The old man came here to catch thieves and beat dogs!" Lan Ji appeased his palms and laughed: "So we are the same!" Lu Ran also stroked his palms and laughed: "Since you and I have the same purpose, let's slaughter the Li family's dog who pretends to be calm!"

When Lan Ji'an heard this, his face sank and said, "We slaughtered the Lu family dog." Haha, it's an old dog who guards Wang Shichong. Lu Ran listened to his scolding to the extreme, and he was not angry, and said with a faint smile: "Blue boy, you can take advantage of your tongue. As he spoke, he said to Li Shimin: "Li family boy, don't pretend to be calm, do you want to see these rabid dogs who are loyal to you die here?"

Seeing that he was still silent, Lu Ran shouted: "You continue to pretend to be dumb! Later, the old man will make you cry and laugh, and life is better than death." After finishing speaking, he put his hands behind his back and said to Lan Ji'an: "Why don't you guys who don't know whether they are dead or alive do it?"

Lan Ji'an said in a deep voice: "My master didn't let us take your life, why should we do it! Mr. Lu is a generation of grandmasters, why are you so anxious to appreciate the taste of failure, don't you cherish the reputation you have earned for many years with the hardships of life and death?"

Lu Ran was originally calm, but for some reason he was irritated by Li Shimin, who was speechless, and Lan Ji'an, who was full of soft and hard words, and sneered: "I originally planned to kill one or two people for fun today, but I didn't expect to meet you who don't know the height of the sky." Alas, the old man can't help it, I really can't help it! It seems that I have to wronged myself and kill you all. ”

Li Shimin listened to Lu Ran's arrogance, only blinked his eyes and stared at him, smiling faintly, as if he was in a good mood, but also seemed to be just grinning, not only didn't care what the other party said, but also disdainfully threw away his pen and turned into the plum blossom cave.

Lu Ran was stopped by Lan Ji'an and others, with his self-confidence, he didn't take these people in his eyes at all, and at this time, he saw Li Shimin turn around and enter the cave, because he didn't know if there was another passage in the Plum Blossom Cave leading to the outside, he couldn't help but get anxious, and shouted: "Don't go, boy." If you don't come with me to Lord Wang today, you'll die here!" he said, wanting to jump up and chase after him.

How could Lan Ji'an and the others let him pass, and in the midst of the shouting, they all showed their blades and fists to block them, but Lu Ran's martial arts were really much higher than them, and he broke through the encirclement in only five or six rounds. Pei Liuxing, the leader of the Laolongling Maniac Gang in Taihang Mountain, saw that everyone was invincible, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "The old man is very powerful, everyone should not lose their lives because of this!"

When Lan Ji'an and Xu Sangu heard this, they roared and retreated to Panasonic.

Seeing this, Lu Ran felt strange in his heart, and said secretly: "I have heard that Li Shimin, the assistant of several people, has been desperate, why did he have to retreat when it comes to life and death?" This thought swept through his heart, and when he saw Lan Ji'an and the others couldn't help but scatter and retreat, he didn't think about it, he jumped up and chased in the direction of Meidong, but before he landed when he was in the air, he suddenly heard a loud click in the air, and a dazzling electric light cracked down. The moon is frozen, how can there be an amazing flash of lightning in the cold sky?

He was very surprised and suspicious, but before he could react, the lightning had already come straight to him, if he was cracked, wouldn't it be turned into pieces?

Lu Ran was in the air, and when he saw another electric light attacking on the right side, in a hurry, his left sleeve rolled up, wrapped around a plum tree on the left, and moved three feet away in a loud shout, and at the same time, there was a bang, and the electric light cracked, hitting him on the side.

Isn't this exactly the Illusory Light Qimen Divine Sword Technique that Chu Duanmeng had used? But when he went down the mountain, Chu Duanmeng was not only knocked to the ground by Zhan Tong, but also surrounded by all the people of Yuwen Huodu, could it be that after he left Lingfeng Cliff, an unexpected change occurred at the top of the cliff? His mind was racing, and he subconsciously looked into the air, and sure enough, he saw a thick black cloud hovering rapidly, wanting to cover it down. Lu Ranzheng was shocked in his heart, and listened to someone around him singing: "Divine Soldier Heavenly General, Phantom of the Sea of Fog, Blind Eyes, Only Respect My Life" Before the voice fell, he saw two thin and tall men who looked very similar with red scarves wrapped in their heads, wearing red robes, each holding a diamond ring in their hands, and Lan Ji'an and others slowly appeared with words in their mouths.

Lu Ran stood under the plum tree, and suddenly felt that his eyes were in a trance, and a strange and fantastic scene began to fill his front and back at some point. He has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has extremely rich experience in both martial arts and rivers and lakes, if he hadn't seen Li Shimin turn around and enter the plum cave before, he was worried that he would have left without thinking, and he would never have almost been hit by lightning and fell into Meilin. Who are these two?

The fog in Merlin is getting thicker and thicker. Lu Ran knew that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to move rashly, and after a few thoughts, he already understood that he had fallen into the fantasy ambush set up by Lan Ji'an's people, and said secretly: "The people of Lan Ji'an are strangely defeated, it seems that it is not that they are not poor in martial arts or disloyal, but they deliberately led me to rush into Merlin, and while I was unprepared, they wanted to sneak attack me with the electric demon knife." If I want to dodge the Electro Demon Blade, I must use the plum tree in the air, so I will fall into the strange fog of Merlin. Hehe, such an accurate calculation is obviously a deliberate design!"

Lan Ji'an couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Lu Ran standing under the plum tree, covered by black clouds and mist, and said to the two tall thin men in front of him: "Lu Ran's old thief is really trapped by the divine magic of the two! Haha, he is now in the Qiankun circle arranged by the two, what should we do?"

The tall and thin man smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Although he was fascinated by the spell cast by my brothers, it was only a temporary thing. If you want to succeed, you need the help of a master with strong internal strength!" After speaking, he turned to Li Xuan and said, "Brother Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Li Xuan saw that after Lu Ran saw Li Shimin, he seemed to forget that he was by his side, and he was strange in his heart, and saw that Lan Ji'an and the others were defeated, Lu Ran took advantage of the situation to pursue Li Shimin, but was attacked by the electric light like a knife, although he barely escaped the electric light but fell into Merlin, only to realize that a circle had already been arranged here, just waiting for Lu Ran to be fooled. He looked at Situ Manshan and Xue Wanli, who were lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but feel sad, and said secretly: "It turns out that the death of these two people is just two chess pieces to activate the ambush circle! Li Shimin really lost his grace in making this arrangement!"

He was thinking about it, and when he saw the two thin and tall men and Lan Ji'an and the others appear, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked: "Why are the Xin brothers who obey the orders of the Flying Camel Holy Lord also here?"

Xin Jun saw that Li Xuan was stunned, his face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Li, are you wondering why we are here? Haha, it's not a secret, our two brothers have received the name of the Holy Lord this time, and it is here to cooperate with the Blue Sect Master and the head of Chu to destroy Lu Ran's old thief. Brother Lan, time is pressing, in order to solve the doubts in Brother Li's heart, you can briefly talk about it. ”

Lan Ji'an nodded and said with a smile: "Gang Leader Li, don't blame us for disappearing after we went up the mountain, in fact, we are here to set up a circle with the Xin brothers." ”

Li Xuanqi said: "How could you have expected that Lu Ran would come here?"

Lan Ji'an said: "This matter is a long story. Well, in fact, long before we went up the mountain, the second son had already made an appointment with the head of Songfeng Daoguan Hongzhen to use this hero conference to weaken Wang Shichong's power in the rivers and lakes, but the strength of just a few of us was far from enough, so the second son contacted several major gangs such as the Flying Camel Gang, the Twelve Chains of Qianzhuang and Hengshanmen to participate together. But people are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect Wang Shichong to have a plan, not only planned Hongshi Lao Dao to rebel against Songfeng Daoguan, but also imprisoned the head of Hongzhen, and changed and designed this hero conference into a chaotic situation to compete for the general leader of the rivers and lakes. Since the plan has been disrupted, we simply plan to make a plan, and let the Twelve Consecutive Qian Zhuang, Chu Duanmeng's envoy and Zeng Ren Tianmen master accompany them to stage a play in Lingfeng Cliff, and at the same time, in the name of Mo Xilai and the Ding brothers, Feige sent a letter to the nearby Lu Ran and Yuwen Huodu, telling them that the second son had arrived in Mount Tai. Although it is risky to do this, if he can take the opportunity to wipe out Wang Shichong's Jianghu forces and defeat his most powerful Lu Ran and Yu Wenhuo, it will be a fatal blow to Wang Shichong's Jianghu ambitions. It is also because of this that there is a Qiankun Fu Circle. ”

Li Xuan asked: "No wonder Zhan Tong didn't do it when he challenged me at the top of Lingfeng Cliff before, it turns out that he was also acting!"

Lan Ji'an laughed and said, "Now that the play is over, it's a real knife and a real gun!"

Li Xuanqi said: "Why do you say this?" Lan Ji'an said: "When you and Lu Ran went down the mountain, the head of Hongzhen was rescued by us. If he appeared on the top of the cliff, all the Xuanyi Daoists would surely realize that the situation on the top of the Lingfeng Cliff would inevitably be reversed at that time. Hehe, the Twelve Serial Qian Zhuang, Chu Duanmeng's Special Envoy, Zeng Ren Tianmen Master, Hongzhen Sect Master, and all the Xuanyi Taoist priests, the heroes who went to the meeting, and others joined forces, how can Yuwenhuo all be opponents! And if we destroy Lu Ran's old thief again, this will really be done. ”

Xin Ye waved his hand and asked: "Brother Li, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes recently that you have repeatedly had a strange fate, not only have a close relationship with the Tibetan Sword Villa, but also get the true inheritance of Shaolin Zhizhi and several Zen masters. Now that we have laid out the fantasy Qiankun ambush circle, although there is only a pillar of incense, if we can get the help of your strong martial arts, we will definitely trap the old thief Lu Ran inside. ”

Li Xuan was silent for a while, and then muttered: "You are really well-informed. However, I always feel that we can't do this!"

Xin Ye smiled and said: "Brother Li, do you know that Lu Ran once ate the brains of ninety-nine eighty-one boys and girls in order to practice miraculous skills? Do you know that fifty years ago, he personally created the tragedy of one hundred and eight members of the Red Gang that changed the color of the rivers and lakes? If you don't use all your means to treat such an immortal, you can't resist the opportunity given by God. ”

Li Xuan was secretly shocked, looked at Xin Ye's resentful appearance, and said in his heart: "Even if Lu Ran misbehaves, he should be annihilated, but what the Flying Camel Gang has done is just?

His mind was racing, he still clasped his arms to his chest, and said with a light expression: "Since you have already arranged the Qiankun Circle, you must have also formulated a plan on how to destroy Lu Ran, why do you want me to help?" After speaking, his eyes scanned the people of the Xin clan like lightning.

Xin Ye sighed: "Lu Ran's martial arts are very strong, it is difficult to destroy him without extreme means. Our previous plan was to trap it with the Qiankun Circle first, spray it with the Devil Black Oil of the Western Regions that ignited when it caught fire, and at the same time gather the internal strength of eight people to force the fire and burn it to death in the Fuquan. Although this method is good, it is also a bit risky, because once the fire starts, the phantom magic will gradually become ineffective, and if Lu Ran repeatedly impacts outward, we are not ten percent sure that we can withstand it, so it is best to have someone with strong martial arts to sweep the formation, and when he hits outward, he will be forced back into the ambush circle, and Brother Li is strong in martial arts, and he is the best candidate for the sweeping array. ”

Li Xuan was silent for a while, then turned his head to Lan Ji'an and said, "Sect Master Lan, please ask the second son to come out." I want to ask him to understand, although we need to act on the top of the cliff, why do we send people to hurt other gangs at the bottom of the mountain, and use other people's lives as a foil on the cliff? Even if such a shady plan succeeds, it is not righteous and bright enough, and if it spreads, it will be extremely detrimental to the stability of the second son. So, can we release Lu Ran and fight him in a life-and-death battle, can't we defeat him alone?"

Lan Ji'an shook his head and said, "If there is no subdued circle, it will be difficult to subdue him." ”

Xin Ye sighed when he heard this: "Brother Li is not pedantic. Since ancient times, who has not been a person who has become a great deal of great things in his robes and burdened with bloodstains and bones! We are in the rivers and lakes, and we must not be able to grow up in love with our children. Alas, you may not know that Lu Ran's martial arts have reached the peak a few decades ago, and now except for a few people who can compete with him, just a few of us will not be able to beat him with a hundred moves. Also, the second son is not on the mountain, where do you want us to invite him out?"

Li Xuan was taken aback when he heard this, and said curiously: "The second son is not on the mountain?

Xin Ye smiled: "That's just a trick used by my two brothers. After a pause, he said: "Don't you think that when Lu Ran came here with you, he not only forgot about your existence, but also only stared at the second son in front of Meidong?"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I do feel strange. ”

Xin Ye smiled slightly: "This is exactly the power of the blinding method. Hehe, Lu Ran's old thief forgot about you, because all his essence, qi, and spirit were attracted by the phantom magic we cast, so he forgot the existence of the people around him in a short time. However, if it weren't for Situ Manshan and Xue Wanli fighting for their lives, Lu Ran would have no time to think about the mysteries in the period, and with the low magic skills of my two brothers, it would be difficult to successfully introduce him into the fantasy Qiankun circle in Merlin. ”
