Chapter 13 Getting the Green Jade Fruit
There is a huge canyon in the Hengshan Mountain Range, called Luoyun Valley. The clouds are deep and misty, rolling and surging.
A group of dozens of people walked along the canyon, and as soon as they touched the edge of the clouds, the group stopped.
Zhang Ran suddenly remembered the scene of being plagued by fog in Wuhuang Mountain before, saw the white fog in front of him, and guessed whether this white fog was forbidden by the formation laid by someone.
Jiang Daolin, who was walking in front of the team, and a few old men who Zhang Ran didn't know seemed to be discussing something in a whisper, and their voices became louder.
Zhang Ran walked up to Jiang Wangchen's brother and sister, and vaguely sensed the invisible hostility. Zhang Ran looked at Jiang Wangchen puzzled, Jiang Wangchen whispered, the five great families are not harmonious, and in order to compete for the green jade fruit, when they compete in the ring, they often fight. The Jiang and Li families are at odds with the Yunluo family, and the Nangong family is more transcendent. In the end, Jiang Wangchen said that Brother Zhang must be careful, and he was also quite worried when he saw his sister Wangqin.
The Feiyun Sword is made of stainless steel, with a slender body and a thin groove on each side. The hilt of the sword is made of some animal skin, and it is engraved with delicate lines, and it is very comfortable to hold in the hand. Jiang Wangchen has a heart.
The rest of the people from the four major families saw Zhang Ran dressed in black, thin and tall, with a shawl and black hair on both shoulders, especially those eyes, which were as bright as morning stars. They were amazed, the Jiang family didn't have this young man before. The young men of the Yunluo family glared at Zhang Ran viciously, and looked at Jiang Wangqin with great eagerness, but Jiang Wangqin had a cold face and turned his head to look at Zhang Ran. Before the competition began, the audience continued to move.
The old men seemed to have agreed on something, and sat down cross-legged. Jiang Daolin patted the small gray bag hanging on his waist, and a palm-sized appliance suddenly appeared in his hand, throwing it towards the edge of the clouds, and several old men had to pinch the seal at the same time as if they had agreed.
Bright lights of different colors rose from the black utensils, and these bright lights became more and more numerous, and they converged and merged with each other, and the light clusters became larger and larger. Finally, several old men reached out at the same time and pointed at the light cluster, and the huge light cluster immediately pounced on the dense fog. Amazingly, the fog retreated as if it had been instructed to do so, until it disappeared.
In the middle of the canyon, a large stone platform with a radius of ** zhang stands quietly.
Jiang Daolin came out of the crowd and shouted: "The competition in the ring is about to start, please ask the head of the Nangong family to announce the rules of the competition." ”
A short old man walked out slowly, and smiled at everyone: "According to the custom, every twenty years, the five great families compete in martial arts, and the rules are the same as before. With that, he cleared his throat and began to declare the rules of the competition.
First, the competition process is divided into two steps, first for the chaotic battle, half an hour, and then for the challenge, without time limit.
Second, in the competition, no intentional injury is allowed, and anyone who admits defeat can jump out of the ring.
Third, the competition rewards, the first place will be rewarded with four, the second place will be rewarded with two, the third place will be rewarded with two, the fourth place will be rewarded with one, and the fifth place will be rewarded with one. Those who do not enter the top five will not be able to obtain green jade fruits.
After the rules were read, ten masters from the five major families jumped into the ring with their own methods.
Zhang Ran looked around, and the situation in the ring was clear. Zhang Ran and Jiang Wangqin stood with their backs to each other, guarding cautiously and not making the first move. The Yunluo family did not act rashly, and observed the opponents of the Jiang and Li families with fierce eyes, waiting for an opportunity to move. The scene was at an impasse for a moment.
I don't know which owner coughed outside the field, as if urging.
The Yunluo family took the lead in breaking the calm, they were not used to Zhang Ranyun's indifferent appearance. Two knives and two guns rushed towards Zhang Ran with all their might. Without waiting for Jiang Wangqin to react, the Feiyun Sword slashed through a sword light, and the sword qi of the ordinary sword spirit met the sword and spear without fear. Jiang Wangqin and the Li family also joined the battle group, and for a while, swords and guns collided, and the sword aura was permeated. The two members of the Nangong family are also ready to move, looking for the best opportunity. The whole scene was chaotic, and it was no longer as distinct as it had been.
Zhang Ran didn't dare to go too far, and he couldn't afford such a competition, what he did was to respond in vain.
Jiang Wangqin has already mastered the five knots and two veins, and his strength is not bad, but he does not have much experience in fighting, and he was accidentally besieged by the two members of the Yunluo family, and he was already on the edge of the ring. Zhang Ran was in a hurry to carry the "Phantom Step", and the sword qi more than three feet long was like a fierce beast, killing the two people who besieged Jiang Wangqin. The two of them were originally complacent, but suddenly a huge sword aura was about to engulf their chest and abdomen, which scared the two of them into tears, and they didn't want to jump out of the ring.
Jiang Wangqin's hair was messy, and she was drenched in sweat, and when she saw Zhang Ran helping her get out of danger, her eyes were moist with emotion.
"The time has come, stop!" Jiang Daolin burst out, full of anger.
"Old ghost Jiang, it's good luck, this kid's internal strength ......," a family head said with envy.
Jiang Daolin's face was proud, and he was really satisfied with Zhang Ran, a kid.
There were six people left in the ring, two from the Jiang family, and one from each of the remaining four families.
Next, the head of the Nangong family explained the challenge rules in detail, and the challenge began.
Maybe there was an outlier like Zhang Ran, but no one challenged him. After a scuffle just experienced, everyone basically knew each other's strength. Everyone has seen Zhang Ran's strange body and abundant internal strength, and it is really boring to challenge him again. After a few challenges, there was no lack of excitement, and the situation gradually became clear. The second is the Nangong family, Jiang Wangqin is the third, the Luo family is the fourth, the Li family is the fifth, and the Yun family was kicked out, which was quite unexpected.
The ring competition of the five martial arts families ended hastily, which was completely different from the vigorous transmission before.
The head of the Yun family had a bitter face, hey, his skills are low, how can he anger others, he can only wait for another twenty years.
The green jade fruit tree is full of vitality, and the ten jade clean and smooth fruits exude an attractive fragrance.
Several old men cast spells to break the ban, and the head of the Nangong family took down the green jade fruit and distributed it in public according to the results of the competition. Then he re-placed the spirit stone at the root of the green jade fruit tree and laid a prohibition.
Jiang Daolin had an extra white jade box in his hand, and put the green jade fruit into the box with great pity.
The young man of the Yun family, who did not obtain the green jade fruit, breathed fire in his eyes, if his eyes could eat people, Zhang Ran was afraid that there would not even be a little bone residue left.
No one expected that the Jiang family would become the biggest winner and harvest six green jade fruits!
In the valley of falling clouds, the fog filled the sky, and it returned to the same appearance when it first came.
The living room of the Jiang family was beaming with joy.
Jiang Daolin took out the jade box and put it on the table, and several people stared at the jade box.
Jiang Daolin said with a smile: "Zhang Xiaoyou and Wangqin have made a lot of meritorious contributions, and even the old man is a little red-eyed." After speaking, he took out four and handed them to Zhang Ran, and handed two to Jiang Wangqin.
Zhang Ran didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, but excused himself: "It is natural to do things for the family, and the younger generation only needs two pieces." ”
"I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be so generous, no matter what, it was Xiaoyou's gain. "Jiang Daolin is not hypocritical, one is sincere to envelop Zhang Ran, and the other is that there is no suitable candidate in the clan.
"In this case, the younger generation has a suggestion, the remaining two pieces will be given to Brother Wangchen, how about it?" Be a man to be content, Zhang Ran knows this very well. The words of the gentleman's teachings are still in my ears.
Jiang Wangchen was at a loss when he heard this, and his fair face turned red. Although he is the qualification of the Four Spirit Roots, he has never given up on his cultivation heart. Looking at Zhang Ran's eyes, it was more than gratitude.
Jiang Daolin smiled and nodded, and Jiang Wangchen took it tremblingly.
All this fell in Jiang Wangqin's eyes, and the girl's mind was gently plucked at this moment.
Zhang Ran returned to the small courtyard, and the remnants of flowers and leaves reminded him of the shadow of Jiang Wangqin dancing the sword a few days ago. He could feel that this woman had a good impression of him, and remembered that his mother was nagging him to say what he was going to say about his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't help but shake his head in disgrace, it's not the right time. Let's wait until I have enough strength.
He was very greedy for the utensils that Jiang Daolin and them had arranged, as well as a few small gray bags beside the old man, small and chic, and they could put so many things, if only he had one, he would save a package and many inconveniences. He also noticed that the spirit stone that Jiang Wangchen said was inch long and crystal clear, which caused his acupoints to tremble uneasily at that time, and he was really not qualified to have these good things.
Looking at the two green jade fruits in front of him, thinking of the dragon blood fruit that he had served in Wuhuang Mountain, his heart was furious. Once the green jade fruit is picked, it is best to take it in a short period of time, otherwise the aura will be lost. Without thinking too much about it, he resolutely sat down cross-legged, and a fragrant green jade fruit was taken into his mouth.
The juice quickly turned into aura, spread arbitrarily in the abdomen, and then penetrated into the flesh and bones. The painful tearing sensation made Zhang Ran hiss and exhale.
Zhang Ran immediately ran the "Trick of Breaking Acupoints", and the abundant aura of the green jade fruit was guided by the mental method, rushing towards the hot acupoints in the body. The spiritual power is like an invisible silver needle, piercing three points at once. After the two ends of the acupoint were opened, the spiritual power began to channel the meridians, and after a while, one meridian was connected. The remaining aura in the body continued to follow the route of the mental method, persevering in search of a new target.
The spiritual power seems to be uncaught, but it can't overcome that hurdle. Another green jade fruit was swallowed by Zhang Ran, and he stepped up his mental technique, and the speed at which he pinched the trick with both hands was dazzling.
The aura of the green jade fruit cannot be compared to that of the dragon blood fruit, but the effect is also very good. This time, five points were opened, and two meridians were opened. In addition to the last time, Zhang Ran opened a total of twelve acupoints and opened up five meridians. If this is transmitted to the Qinghuang Realm, I am afraid it will not shock the eyes of a place.
The preciousness of "The Trick of Breaking the Acupoint" can be imagined, as long as there are enough heaven and earth spiritual objects, you can quickly open the acupoints and pass the veins. Zhang Ran tightly tucked the treasure in his arms, and swore that he would not be able to say a word until he had the ability to protect himself.
Zhang Ran is in a good mood now, he used to grope alone on the path of cultivation, but now, he sees the dawn of this path of cultivation.
Zhang Ran is like an inconspicuous little tree in Gutang Village, as long as a drop of water and a ray of sunshine, it will grow into a big tree that reaches the sky one day, shading his family and friends.
