Martial Arts: Gain a Jiazi internal force at the beginning!

Chapter 140
The gate of the Sanshui county government office.

Jiang Ran yawned and walked out from inside.

Looking up, he saw a group of girls from the Shuiyue Sword Sect standing on the side of the street, and at the other end were Li Tianxin holding a knife and Luo Qingyi carrying a bag.

Ruan Yuqing glanced at Jiang Ran:
"Is it done?"

Jiang Ran had no choice but to nod, and looked at Ruan Yuqing:

"Miss Ruan is still there...I prepared your detoxification pill overnight last night, and now the poison of Bi Luo in your body has been cured.

"I don't think there will be any more problems, you can rest assured."

Jiang Ran didn't sleep well last night.

Just when he was about to lie down, Fang Li sent over all the medicinal materials he needed.

Thinking that today she would be separated from Ruan Yuqing and the others.

So he simply prepared the elixir overnight.

Send it to Ruan Yuqing early this morning.

In the end, Ruan Yuqing said that they had been in the Sanhe Gang for a long time, and they could not stay any longer.

Decided to go with Jiang Ran.

But if you want to talk about walking, it doesn't mean walking half of the road facing the sky.

Instead, he followed Jiang Ran all the way to the Sanshui county government office.

Jiang Ran came here, of course, for the reward of Wu Zhong and the Sanshui Demon Lord.

Sanshui Mojun was a wanted criminal 20 years ago. Although the case has been closed now, Jiang Ran, as a knife catcher, holds a knife catch warrant, saying that although the case was gone, he is still alive.

Still can take this to get reward silver.

As for Wu Zhong...

Although he is well-known on the list of sword wielders, but also, as a master who escaped from the inner city, he is naturally indispensable in the sea arrest documents.

The silver reward is still 9000 taels, which is not a lot.

Plus a Sanshui Demon Lord's 2 taels of silver.

If 9000 taels of silver were given, the county magistrate of Sanshui County would be weeping bitterly in the yamen.

It's just a reward for these two people... Jiang Ran felt a little conflicted.

Wu Zhong's reward was a set of palm techniques called [Heaven-Overturning God Palm].

And the reward for the Sanshui Demon Lord is eight years of internal strength.

Logically speaking, he just received these two rewards.

But the problem is, now Jiang Ran still has four buffs on his body.

If you will receive it, no matter what kind of Jiang Ran it is, it doesn't feel very cost-effective.

Especially the Sky Overlapping God Palm... If this palm technique is really powerful, how could Wu Zhong be defeated so easily?

Even with the blessing of BUFF, it is estimated that for Jiang Ran, it is just icing on the cake.

As for internal strength... I don't know what the specific mechanism of improvement is.

In case each BUFF can increase the internal power for ten years, it will be a full 48 years of internal power, which is quite impressive.

But even so, it is estimated that the improvement of the Zhengxin Sutra is extremely limited.

After all, there is still a lack of internal strength, which is used to fill the gaps in the Zhengxin Sutra.

After much deliberation, Jiang Ran decided not to receive these two rewards yet.

Let it go first... don't give up, don't claim it, and wait to see if there are other rewards later.

At this moment, Jiang Ran's data panel is quite rich.

[Knife catcher system! 】

[Host: Jiang Ran]

【Target: None】

【Capture Progress: None】

[Reward received: Heaven Overlapping God's Palm (29 years), not claimed. 】

[Reward received: Eight years of internal strength, not claimed. 】

[Nine Deaths: Repairing...]

[Remaining life span: three years, six months and nine days! 】

In terms of life span alone, it is no longer the same as before.

When Jiang Ran took down Yangyue Erjun earlier, his lifespan had surged to two years and ten months.

Later, they took down Shi Pingzhang, Wu Zhong and Sanshui Mojun respectively.

And some little bits and pieces.

Then get rid of the time wasted on the road... So far, life has made great progress.

Just occasionally looking at the words 'Nine Deaths and Desperate Pulse', Jiang Ran would have some doubts.

The system said 'repairing', is it really repairing, or... just simply getting rewards and injecting lives?

This question will remain unanswered for a while.

However, if the system is really using this to repair the Nine Deaths, there must be a certain degree of progress.

Perhaps after reaching a certain peak, there will be some external manifestations.

After thinking about these things in his mind, Jiang Ran left the county office, but as soon as he went out, he found that Ruan Yuqing and the others were still at the door.

This is how the above words came about.

"rest assured?"

Ruan Yuqing sighed:
"I want to be reassured, but you really make people feel uneasy.

"The news about Jiaowei has started to spread in all directions, and you will become the target of public criticism next.

"How should I feel relieved?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback:
"It turns out that you are worried about me..."

Li Tianxin on the side rolled his eyes again, sighed, his eyes were full of despondency, and seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to it.

"That's right."

Ruan Yuqing said: "You admit that Jiaowei is on you, it's for our consideration. How can we abandon you now? At least, I will follow you until I go to Sunseting, Sanxian Mountain."

"What about them?"

Jiang Ran glanced at the other disciples of the Shuiyue Sword Sect.

In the previous battle with Wu Zhong, none of their injuries were healed.

Next, there will inevitably be danger around Jiang Ran, and if they follow... they may lose their lives if they are not careful.

Ruan Yuqing understood Jiang Ran's meaning and said:
"I've made arrangements, they will return to the Shuiyue Sword Sect first.

"I'll follow you alone... I know that you are strong in martial arts, but one person counts your weaknesses. Even if I am not as good as you in martial arts, it is always good to have multiple people, multiple ideas, and multiple ideas."

"Since Miss Ruan has made up her mind, Jiang can't stop her. Girls can do whatever they want."

When it comes to this point, Jiang Ran doesn't know how to refuse.

Ruan Yuqing immediately nodded in satisfaction.

Say goodbye to this group of disciples of the Shuiyue Sword Sect and tell them to proceed carefully.

In fact, there is not much danger.

Ruan Yuqing specially found someone to lead the team, and the Shuiyue Sword Sect is indeed not easy to provoke.

Even Wu Zhong, if it wasn't for Jiao Weiqin, he would never have attacked the Shuiyue Sword Sect.

Everyone knows that the Shuiyue Sword Sect is united like never before, and the elders in the sect are extremely defensive.

Once you provoke one, you will kill a group.

As long as this group of people don't provoke disputes on the way, they can reach the Shuiyue Sword Sect very smoothly.

Then there is the leader of the team, who was also carefully selected by Ruan Yuqing.

He is alert and not weak in martial arts, so he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Look at Ruan Yuqing explaining what should be explained.

Jiang Ran looked at the Sanhe Gang from a distance.

When leaving this morning, Fang Yinuo, Fang Lilian and a large group of hall masters all came out to see them off.

For Jiang Ran, this small meeting on the waters of the Three Rivers was nothing more than an episode in the journey.

But for Fang Yinuo and the others, there are still many things to deal with.

Heishuizhai can't just let it go... However, this is also a family matter, and Jiang Ran doesn't care about the details.

After looking at it twice, he withdrew his gaze and smiled softly:
"In that case, let's go."

……

……

Starry, cold moon hanging high.

Under the darkness of night, on the edge of the woods, a flame was lit.

Luo Qingyi took out two roast chickens, four pig feet, three water bags, and four sesame cakes from his bundle.

He quickly placed these things next to the fire.

Then he distributed the water bag to Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing.

Ruan Yuqing thanked her, looked at Luo Qingyi, and really wanted to praise her for being virtuous...

But considering that the other party is really a strong man, these words were swallowed in his stomach after all.

Holding the knife, Li Tianxin leaned against a tree, opened the water bag and took a sip:
"Isn't this too quiet?"

"Yes."

Luo Qingyi also nodded upon hearing the words:
"I thought that after the young master spread the news about Jiao Weiqin, it would definitely attract people chasing him all over the place.

"Who would have thought that these seven days have passed, and there is no movement at all."

"Don't be careless."

Ruan Yuqing said softly:
"The more this is the case, the more careful we have to be on guard.

"Earlier when you were on your way, you were able to see some bandit road tyrants, but now even these people have disappeared, obviously there is another mystery."

"Probably, they are secretly planning to make some big moves."

Jiang Ran's voice came from the tree.

He was sitting on a tree branch, drinking from a wine gourd.

Maybe he drank well, but his legs were drooping and swinging.

Ruan Yuqing raised her head and glanced at him:
"What are you doing sitting so high?"

"Isn't this observing the surrounding environment?"

"Then what did you observe?"

"No."

Jiang Ran pouted, and flew down from the tree:
"Except for the wild beasts in the forest, which are a little bit ready to move because of the smell of barbecue, I found nothing else.

"Tell me, are these people trying to ambush me in front of Luoyangping?"

"Who knows..."

Ruan Yuqing said:
"You put the message too early and they probably did too much.

"In this case, it's hard to guess."

"But it will come..."

Jiang Ran stretched and sniffed again:

"Tsing Yi is good at reheating food recently."

"Thank you for your praise, son."

A smile appeared on Luo Qingyi's face:

"That's what I should do."

Li Tianxin curled his lips and glanced at Luo Qingyi: "Is there anything to be happy about?"

Luo Qingyi said as a matter of course:
"It's a pleasure to be appreciated by the young master."

"It's really promising."

Hearing this, Jiang Ran glanced at this more promising one, and said with a smile:

"Brother Li, shouldn't the recent food expenses be paid?"

Li Tianxin snorted:
"What's the big deal if you just hand it over? I have plenty of money!"

While speaking, he took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket.

Jiang Ran never ate alone, and there was never a lot of what should be given to them.

Especially Li Tianxin, who has experienced Shi Pingzhang's affairs since the Second Lord Yangyue, although he is not as rich as Jiang Ran, but still has several thousand taels of silver.

Immediately clicked, and drew out a few banknotes to Jiang Ran:

"Here, for a year!"

Jiang Ran reached out to take it, and glanced at it:
"Not enough."

"I gave you a full 300 taels of silver, how could it not be enough?

"How much does an ordinary family spend on food and clothing in a year?"

Li Tianxin was furious: "I give these, enough for me to eat for several years!"

"Not enough, Brother Li, you underestimate yourself too much... As the saying goes, a half-child eats a poor father, and you are now at this half-child stage.

"I am an old man, why don't I charge more?"

Jiang Ran chuckled and said, "Besides, Brother Li, when I advise you to talk to me, you'd better be more polite. You know that I have no other hobbies, but I like to shake my hands and poison... Although I don't intend to kill, but This itchy hand is unbearable and there are no outsiders around, so I have no choice but to attack the people around me."

The previous words originally made Li Tianxin want to swear.

The following words completely blocked the cursing words.

He gave Jiang Ran a bitter look:
"Sooner or later, I will draw you a list...

"Okay, I'll give it! How much do you want!?"

Jiang Ran was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but said:

"Before I ask this, I want to ask you, how long do you plan to eat and drink with me for free?"

Li Tianxin almost smashed Jiang Ran's head with the scabbard.

This shameless... While asking himself for money and food, he also said that he eats and drinks for nothing!
Where is eating and drinking for nothing?

He gritted his teeth fiercely:
"Leave me alone……"

"Then count it as five years.

"1000 taels a year, 5000 taels."

Jiang Ran stretched out five fingers.

"I chopped it up for you!!"

After all, Li Tianxin couldn't hold it back anymore, he drew his sword and chopped it off with a choke.

Jiang Ran grinned, but he didn't care, he flipped the five-finger grasping knife casually, but saw that the blade rolled, and it was difficult for him to strike easily under the force of the rolling knife light.

Then, with a sweep of the knife, a ding sound was heard.

The blade was flicked by Jiang Ran somehow.

The blade flew upwards immediately.

I heard Jiang Ran say with a smile:

"You kid, have you ever heard that the good at work is the one that is good at work and that is good at play.

"Your sword skills haven't improved much in the past few days.

"Chopping firewood is okay, but if you want to deal with me, it's still a little too late.

"And... you are too irritable, right? You eat and drink for free by my side, and I ask you for some food expenses, and you draw your sword to kill people... You are acting like a devil."

"The lion who opens his mouth is the devil's behavior!"

After Li Tianxin swung the saber twice, the tone in his heart became a little smoother.

In fact, Luo Qingyi and Ruan Yuqing were used to such things.

Jiang Ran sometimes quarreled with Li Tianxin, making gestures at every turn.

When Jiang Ran became interested, he would specially drag Li Tianxin to the competition.

The length of time varies, but the end result is the same. They all end up with Li Tianxin's bruised nose and swollen face... Fortunately, Jiang Ran's medical skills are excellent, and Li Tianxin's bruised nose and swollen face the day before returned to normal the next day.

"Then will you give it or not?"

"Give!"

Li Tianxin ruthlessly grabbed the bank notes in his hand, as if these were not money, and all of them were printed with Jiang Ran's face.

However, after the scraping was over, Li Tianxin was dumbfounded:

"Not enough for 5000 taels..."

"Not enough, how much is the difference?"

"It's still 200 taels short."

"..."

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, are you not enough for 5000 taels?You don't even have 2000 taels.

With a final sigh:
"Forget it, let's hand it in for one year first, and make up the rest later."

Li Tianxin snorted, took out a few more bank notes and handed them to Jiang Ran.

Ruan Yuqing saw the seriousness of what they said, and couldn't help but said:
"Jiang Shaoxia... Do I have to hand it in too?

"But when I walk in the rivers and lakes, I have always had a breeze in my sleeves, and I don't have so much money on me..."

Jiang Ran glanced at her:
"No money..."

Ruan Yuqing was taken aback when she heard the words, and saw Jiang Ran looking at her with a smile on her lips.

My heart tightened suddenly... my mind began to churn uncontrollably.

Jiang Ran also knew this girl well.

The Water Moon Sword School, the ice-clean soft water sword...

This is what the world knows.

But Jiang Ran suspected that Roushuijian probably stayed in the Shuiyue Sword Sect and read some strange and miscellaneous talk books every day because he hadn't been out of the rivers and lakes for the past few years.

Even if she didn't understand a word, this girl could interpret different speeds from unexpected angles.

Immediately, the smile quickly converged:

"What are you thinking?"

"I...I didn't think about anything!"

Ruan Yuqing's face was calm for a moment.

"... Only ghosts will believe you."

Jiang Ran pouted:

"Don't worry, you are different from him. If you don't have money, you don't have money."

"No reason!"

Li Tianxin was furious: "Why is it different?"

"The starting point is different."

Jiang Ran said: "People follow me to protect my safety."

"Am I not?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Ran said righteously: "Not to mention whether you have the ability to protect my safety, what was the reason you gave me in the first place? You must have forgotten yourself... You see that I am used to causing trouble, want to Look for clues around me and track down the traces of the Demon Cult.

"How dangerous this is, so, the money you give is not just for food..."

"I……"

Li Tianxin thought for a long time, but found that he couldn't refute.

For a while, I was a little jumpy.

Ruan Yuqing looked at Li Tianxin in surprise.

Just about to ask something, Jiang Ran suddenly reached out and stopped them from speaking.

He looked up into the depths of the forest.

After a while, there were rustling footsteps.

Luo Qingyi was suddenly excited.

Standing up eagerly:
"Is there finally someone who is not afraid of death?"

While he was speaking, the visitor had passed through the dark area in the forest and stepped into the flames.

Then he saw the roast chicken beside the fire at a glance, and without thinking about stepping forward, he took a roast chicken in his hand, and opened his mouth to eat it, regardless of the burning of his mouth.

Jiang Ran looked at him silently, and waved to Luo Qingyi to let him sit down.

Only then did he open his mouth to laugh and say:
"Is it tasty?"

The visitor nodded repeatedly.

"this is ours."

The man ate and said:

"I know……"

Mouth stuffed with chicken to the point of slurring.

Then I heard Jiang Ran say:

"I have to pay..."

"How much? I have!"

It is also a pleasure to come.

Jiang Ran didn't stutter: "10 taels!"

"puff!!"

The visitor didn't notice for a while, and was stabbed by the number, choked immediately, beat his chest again and again, finally coughed, regained his breath, and glared at Jiang Ran:

"Jiang Shaoxia, I won't see you in ten months... You don't want to be a knife hunter, but you started to rob houses?"

"Senior, you were joking. I didn't snatch anything. It was clearly Mr. Da who ran over and snatched our roast chicken."

Jiang Ran was amused.

The person in front of him is none other than Mr. Da who had a relationship with Cangzhou Mansion at that time.
