This is indeed a good sword, the body of the sword is inky blue, and its sharpness cannot be seen on the surface. Zhang Ran couldn't help but use the "Chasing the Wind" sword technique, the stainless steel sword buzzed, and there was no trace of stagnation in the internal force, and a white sword qi shot out. The craftsmanship of these two boys is really good, and in time, maybe they can really grow into a generation of swordsmiths.

Zhang Ran's plan was: to go to Hengshan City, the capital of the empire, and pass through Gushan City and Shitai City on the way. He had already calculated in his heart that the place where the crowd gathered the most, the channels of information sources were wider, and he had to go out and explore the news of the Qinghuang Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Entering Gushan City, Zhang Ran's heart moved, and he unconsciously came to the "Drunken Xiangyuan" restaurant. The guests who came to the restaurant went in and out, and the shopkeeper was so busy spanking that he had to squeeze out his energy to shout, eager to ask for some rewards from the guests. He also asked for a few dishes and a pot of wine, but in fact, Zhang Ran didn't drink, he just wanted to feel the atmosphere here.

After sitting down, he called Xiao Er, then threw a silver ticket of one hundred taels on the table, and said to Xiao Er: "This big brother, I want to ask you something, I don't know if it's convenient." ”

Xiao Er's eyes looked at the silver ticket hotly, and his eyes were about to fall.

Zhang Ran coughed and said, "I have two friends who don't know if they are in the academy now, if they are still there, you invite them here, and if you do a good job, I will add another hundred taels of silver." Zhang Ran told Xiao Er's name, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Er disappeared as if he was in smoke. Zhang Ran thought it was funny.

In less than an hour, Xiao Er was followed by two people. I haven't seen him for almost six years, and the general appearance is still there. Duanmu Jin Yushu is even more graceful in the wind, and the young man who bullied him is so short and fat that he doesn't talk.

Zhang Ran straightened up, arched his hand towards the two, and said with a smile: "It's really fateful to meet two old people here." ”

Duanmu Jin hesitantly arched his hand, tall and thin, dressed in black, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, especially a pair of eyes as bright as stars. It's him.

Duanmu Jin also smiled: "There is fate, I don't know where Brother Zhang is high." ”

"Well, my studies have long been abandoned, and I'm just traveling around the rivers and lakes, Brother Duan. ”

"In August this year, the imperial capital Dabi, I will go. "A look of pride. This character is still the same.

"Congratulations to Brother Duan Jinbang High School, I will take more care of my family in the future, by the way, my family has moved to Qingluoji. ”

The fat man opened his mouth wide, and looked at Zhang Ran's gaze as if he were looking at a rare object.

Zhang Ran casually picked up the stainless steel sword leaning on the table leg and placed it on the table seemingly unintentionally, and the heavy sword body "clanged", which attracted the attention of the diners.

Zhang Ran's intention was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, so as not to make trouble for the fat man to find trouble with his family. Seeing the fat man shrinking and shaking, Zhang Ran achieved his goal.

Coming to the "Zuixiangyuan" restaurant was Zhang Ran's impromptu idea.

Xiao Er's eyebrows are crooked, with this capital, who else are you serving, it is better to be the boss yourself.

Shitai City, hundreds of miles away, the red charcoal horse under Zhang Ran has strong feet and strong force. After half a day's effort, I arrived at the official road not far from Shitai City.

The jungle next to the official road is so dense that not even a bird can fly in.

Playing and cultivating the "Breaking the Trick of Pulse", Zhang Ran's induction is hundreds of zhang away. In the forest not far ahead, there seemed to be the sound of weapons colliding, Zhang Ran reined in his horse and observed cautiously.

Without warning, a person staggered towards Zhang Ran's position. Two figures in the back chased each other.

"Brother, help, someone killed me. The man shouted for help. Zhang Ran really didn't want to get into trouble, so he found him. To save or not to save, who is the one who is being chased and killed, Zhang Ran doesn't want to be involved for no reason. The person who fled for his life was only a few dozen feet away from Zhang Ran, dressed in white, with long hair scattered and bright red on his chest. Zhang Ran frowned, he didn't know why the man in white thought that he wanted to save him or whether he had the strength to save him, and when he ran to Zhang Ran, he suddenly fell.

Chasing after two young men, one in yellow with a knife, and one in green with a gun, saw the man in white fall in front of Zhang Ran, and drank with an unkind face: "Where did you come from, wild boy, get out of the way." Zhang Ran silently retreated to the side of the official road, he didn't want to interfere, more things are better than less, his temperament is like this, as long as he doesn't provoke him too much.

When the young man in yellow saw Zhang Ran retreat, he thought he was scared, and saw that the long sword in Zhang Ran's hand was good, so he threatened: "Leave the wrapped long sword, you can get out." When Zhang Ran heard this, things were difficult to get better, hehe.

The two glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their knives and guns to pounce on Zhang Ran, and the swords and guns sneered. For the first time since his debut, Zhang Ran met a master of acupuncture and pulse opening. For this level of fighting, he is not sure of victory, let alone two.

"Chasing the wind", Zhang Ran burst into tears, and without any reservations, the sword qi more than a foot long swallowed towards the two air currents with a violent wind and rain. "Dang", "dang" two loud bangs, shook a knife and a gun, Zhang Ran did not retreat but advanced, the steel sword stabbed one by one, and the sharp sword qi cut through the opponent's sleeve. The two looked at each other in shock, they had never met such a young person with such a vast internal force, and the knife and gun almost fell off.

It seems that one has to be solved first, Zhang Ran was secretly anxious. The two young men also cooperated, the young man in yellow attacked Zhang Ran with a knife, and the spear of the young man in Tsing Yi swept Zhang Ran's legs. "Shocking wind", Zhang Ran had a flash of inspiration, and the qi in the dantian was like a torrent that broke the embankment, and the meridians were swollen and painful. The steel sword shone brightly, and the shadow of the sword was scattered, taking advantage of the remaining momentum of the spear, Zhang Ran slashed at Tsing Yi's neck with a sword, and the three-foot-long sword qi silently cut his throat. The young man in yellow looked at the fallen Tsing Yi in disbelief, lost his mind, and turned around to escape. Zhang Ran snorted coldly, can you escape, killing one is killing, he doesn't want to leave hidden dangers. Zhang Ran once again carried the "Shocking Wind" sword technique, and the violent sword qi regarded the big sword as nothing, and pierced into the chest of the yellow-clothed youth, blood bloomed, and the yellow-clothed youth fell to the ground without looking at it.

Zhang Ran was extremely tired, there was not much internal strength left in the dantian, and the meridians were filled with pinprick pain. Zhang Ran gritted his teeth and ran the "Trick of Breaking Acupoints" to restore internal strength and heal the meridians. The "Shocking Wind" sword trick is too domineering, and the internal force consumed is incomparable, and he can lose his internal strength after sending out three moves at most. Fortunately, it is clear that the battle is clear, otherwise it is not known who will kill the deer. The cracks in the steel sword body were shocking.

The young man in white looked at Zhang Ran gratefully and admiringly, and when he saw that Zhang Ran had finished his work, he immediately bowed down and thanked: "Jiang Wangchen thanks Shaoxia for saving his life, I didn't expect that Shaoxia is also a cultivator, and he dares to ask Shaoxia's name." ”

Zhang Ran glanced at him with disdain, if you hadn't entangled me like a scoundrel, how could I have touched this moldy head.

Jiang Wangchen glanced at Zhang Ran's injured steel sword and felt Zhang Ran's dissatisfaction.

hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Shaoxia's loss will definitely be compensated, but it is just a life-saving virtue, and it is difficult to repay it in case of forgetting." ”

Practice? Zhang Ran keenly noticed these two words.

"Brother Jiang is also a cultivator?"

"I'm ashamed, Jiang's qualifications are average, and he only opens a knack and a vein. When he saw the sword of the young man, his eyes were bright, so he knew. ”

Zhang Ran didn't dare to report his real name, so he only assumed a fake name Zhang Cheng.

"Ask Brother Jiang, when it comes to cultivation, I really don't know very well, are there many cultivators like Brother Jiang in this Hengshan Empire?" Zhang Ran was like a long-drowning person, eager to grab the life-saving rope.

Jiang Wangchen saw Zhang Ran's excitement, and thought that he would not be lying, so he pondered for a moment and tried his best to answer for Zhang Ran.

It turns out that in this secular world, there is not only one Yokoyama Empire, but five major empires, namely the Daluo Empire, the Izumo Empire, the Li Dynasty, and the Nanhuai Empire. Behind every imperial royal family, there is a martial arts family. The entire continent is essentially the final say of the five major martial arts families. The Jiang family in Hengshan, the Luo family in Daluo, the Yun family in Izumo, the Li family in the Li Dynasty, and the Nangong family in Nanhuai. These families all have unborn masters, and most of the descendants of the family are enlightened and talented. Jiang Wangchen is the descendant of the Jiang family of the Hengshan Empire.

Jiang Wangchen said that, he saw that Zhang Ran was fascinated by what he heard, and his eyes were colorful. Sure enough, this Zhang Cheng happened to go on a cultivation by chance, and it was a casual practice. With deep internal strength and a young age, Jiang Wangchen had the idea of recruiting for his family.

Seeing that Jiang Wangchen was no longer speechless, Zhang Ran was not in a hurry to ask, but said, "Why was Brother Jiang chased and killed?

Jiang Wangchen, who was stained with blood in white, was very angry: "Jiang traveled to Shitai City and happened to meet a child with spiritual roots, who wanted to take it to the family, so the two wanted to snatch it, and Zhang Shaoxia also saw what happened just now." "Generally speaking, in order to grow the family, the disciples who travel outside, whenever they meet someone with a slightly better spiritual root, they will take ** to cultivate, see Zhang Ran is curious, and Jiang Wangchen is introduced by the way.

"That's right, one is Yun Hao of the Yun family, and the other is Luo Tao of the Luo family. ”

Zhang Ran couldn't help but be bitter, he inadvertently offended the two great families, once the news leaked, it would attract the pursuit of the two families, and he would just be it. Zhang Ran didn't dare to think about it, and his expression changed.

Jiang Wangchen was so smart, he guessed Zhang Ran's intentions at once, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Shaoxia, although rest assured, Jiang is definitely not a traitor. ”

Zhang Ran was noncommittal.

Jiang Wangchen had an idea, there were not many people with outstanding strength like Zhang Ran, and asked, "I don't know if Shaoxia has a good place to go?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ran didn't know what he meant.

"I don't know if Shaoxia can join the Jiang family, of course, he can also be a guest of the Jiang family, and there must be no big chance......" Jiang Wangchen smiled and said nothing, waiting for Zhang Ran to make a decision.

"Serendipity. Zhang Ran became interested. It is impossible to join the Jiang family, he does not want to be fettered by this, if he is a guest, it is not impossible. Now that he has decided, he has spoken his mind. Jiang Wangchen was overjoyed, he had gained a lot of help for the family, and some things were much easier.

Zhang Ran said again, you don't have to call me a young man in the future, everyone is commensurate with each other. Jiang Wangchen is more satisfied, strong, humble and low-key, he thinks Zhang Ran is a person who can be friends.

After cleaning up the scene, the two did not stay too long in Shitai City, and after finding the child, they went straight to Hengshan City.
