Chapter 141
"A roast chicken costs 10 taels! You still say it's not a robbery?"

Mr. Da wiped the oil from his beard, and said angrily, "Which one sells roast chicken so expensive?"

"My house."

Jiang Ran said with a smile:

"Also, I didn't buy or sell by force, Mr. Da didn't ask the price, he rushed up and ate it.

"It doesn't matter if Mr. Da doesn't want to pay. If you return my roast chicken intact, it will be considered a settlement."

"..."

Mr. Da looked at the half-eaten roast chicken, and was speechless for a while.

I have eaten half of it, even if I can spit it out, how can I keep it intact?
Finally sighed:
"Can I owe you?"

"Row."

Jiang Ran glanced at Ruan Yuqing:

"Miss Ruan, you are an expert of the Shuiyue Sword Sect. Mr. Da owes me 10 taels for eating my roast chicken. You have to be a witness."

Mr. Da also took a look at Ruan Yuqing:
"It turned out that Roushuijian was in front of him, and he was so hungry that he didn't see Xia Ruan clearly.

"Please forgive me."

"Mr. Big is too serious."

Ruan Yuqing gave Jiang Ran a blank look first, then smiled at Mr. Da:

"Mr. Da's whereabouts are indistinct. The dragon has always seen its head but never its tail. How could it appear here?"

"It's not because of the head of Jiang University."

Mr. Da stroked his beard and took another bite of the roast chicken.

I owe 10 taels, how can I not eat this roast chicken?
While eating, he said vaguely:

"I heard that Jiang Shaoxia has done several important things recently.

"The young owner of Zuodaozhuang appeared in Benma County, but returned in defeat.

"Yangyue Erjun returned to the world after 20 years, but both died.

"Afterwards, I traveled to the Red Maple Villa, and one Shi Pingzhang attracted the five great sword sects to come out...then they disappeared without a sound.

"Jiao Weiqin's joy in choosing a virtuous master has caused a new disturbance.

"In the battle of the Three Rivers Gang, Wu, the great eunuch who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, finally took the lead.

"Back then, on the waters of the Three Rivers, the Sanshui Demon Lord, who was feared by the rumors, was killed by the knife in your palm.

"This series of incidents, even if I retell it like this, I still feel excited.

"Not to mention that you are carrying the Jiaoweiqin on your back, and you plan to go to Sunseting, Sanxian Mountain, to hold a tea-tasting and piano-appreciating conference!
"Such a grand event in the Jianghu, how can I miss the old man?

"It was only now that I was chasing after me all the way. I didn't get a grain of rice for several days. I was really thirsty to drink the morning dew, and I endured it when I was hungry.

"Who would have thought that after catching up, he would also recover a debt of 10 taels."

"Mr. Big, you are also... It's not easy."

Ruan Yuqing resisted the urge to laugh, after all, she was a well-known master in the world.

Now it can be regarded as the facade of the Shuiyue Sword Sect walking the rivers and lakes.

This training is still necessary.

"Yes."

Mr. Da sighed, then looked at Jiang Ran again:

"Jiang Shaoxia, tell this old man.

"Since the Cangzhou Mansion battle, how did you feud with Zuo Daozhuang? How did you kill the second Lord Yangyue? Afterwards, whether Shi Pingzhang lived or died...how did you and the Sanhe Gang get acquainted?

"How mysterious is the ghost magic art?

"The old man has already made up his mind, and plans to publish a book and biography for you in the future.

"The title of the book is... [The Legend of the Golden Cicada]!
"In the future, it will definitely be passed down in the rivers and lakes, and even passed down through the ages!"

Jiang Ran grinned.

In fact, he didn't find it strange whenever the old man appeared in front of him.

After all, he has indeed done a lot of things recently.

The reputation is also growing day by day.

This is very attractive to an organization similar to Bai Xiaosheng in Jianghu.

It's just that he's not interested in it...

And these questions he asked, other things are nothing, he really knows what is the mystery of this Nether Demon Art.

Although from the reward of Lord Sanshui, he didn't get this person's martial arts.

But Jiang Ran obtained the true copy of Nether Devil Art from his corpse.

He also looked through it two days ago, and there was indeed no text entry on it, and it was all pictures.

The several highly poisonous substances marked in it have their own names.

At the same time, it also recorded several kung fu.

Nether God's Palm and Nether Bone Claw are among them.

It's just that after seeing these martial arts, Jiang Ran didn't think they were too surprising.

The moves are not very subtle, and the miraculous effect is due to the use of poison kung fu, which is amazingly powerful.

What Jiang Ran really cared about was the few recipes recorded later.

These kinds of elixirs have their own advantages, but they are refined based on Nether Demon Art.

Jiang Ran wanted to keep these kinds of pills for himself, but there was no suitable way to replace this skill for a while.

Let Jiang Ran practice by himself...he doesn't have this leisurely attitude.

So I had no choice but to keep it for the time being, and leave it for future consideration.

In addition, Jiang Ran actually discovered that the reason why this martial art is called magic art is actually because its power is too bloody and cruel.

As far as martial arts itself is concerned, it is fundamentally different from those magic arts that kill people and practice them.

Because practicing this martial art, you don't harm others... All the poison is introduced into yourself.

Except for those poisonous insects used for cultivation, which are more miserable, it does no harm to anyone.

Afterwards, what to use and where to use it when you have completed your cultivation depends on the character of the practitioner.

Use it for good, and use it for evil.

It's just that Jiang Ran is not interested in discussing these things in detail with Mr. Da.

On the contrary, Li Tianxin was very interested. Anyway, after leaving Cangzhou Mansion, the next meeting with Jiang Ran was the Zuodaozhuang meeting.

The two have been together ever since.

He knows most of what Jiang Ran knows.

So I casually talked with Mr. Big.

Mr. Da listened with great interest, took out a pen and ink from his pocket, dipped the tip of the pen on his tongue, and began to write.

Listen while writing, and get to the bottom of things you don't understand.

Some things Li Tianxin didn't know himself, so he went to ask Jiang Ran again...

Mr. Da was still in high spirits until several people finished their meal, so Li Tianxin's mouth was dry and he had to stop.

Mr. Da didn't care too much, he just smiled and said:

"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Mr. Big is planning to follow?"

Jiang Ran frowned.

"It's natural."

Mr. Big smiled and said:
"The Tea Tasting and Piano Appreciation Conference has caused waves in the Jianghu.

"The legendary Jiao Weiqin is one of the Twelve Heavens.

"How many people will come when this thing appears in Jianghu? Compared with the so-called hero meeting in Cangzhou Mansion, this is a truly grand event in Jianghu.

"Of course the old man has to follow Shaoxia Jiang...

"Record what Jiang Shaoxia has seen and heard along the way.

"My article [The Legend of the Golden Cicada] is precisely to focus on this tea-tasting and piano-appreciation conference as the first chapter."

"...as long as your old man is happy."

Jiang Ran picked up the wine gourd and took a sip:
"But don't forget to pay back the 10 taels of silver you owe me...I take money like my life, so don't wait for me to ask you for it."

"..."

Mr. Da was speechless for a while.

Ruan Yuqing frowned slightly:

"Maybe Mr. Da reveal, how many people are already watching the Tea Tasting and Piano Appreciation Conference in Luoyangping?"

"That's hard to say..."

Mr. Da scratched his fingers and said:
"As far as I know, there are Wenxiang Academy in Wenxiang Mountain, Tingyu Tower in Huanqiu Lake, and Qifeng Villa in Changqing Mansion.

"There are also some arty people in the world, such as the 'clumsy piano' Yan Wenge, the 'music actress' Shang Yueer and others...

"As for the secrets, that's more.

"It's just that the old man is not clear about the specific ones.

"However, the old man knows that Jiang Shaoxia has some grievances with the five tricksters, and Tuwulang was killed by Jiang Shaoxia.

"The remaining four seem to be rushing towards the Three Immortals Mountain recently... we have to guard against it."

After Ruan Yuqing finished listening, she frowned slightly:

"One sect, two clubs, five swords, seven sects, and thirteen gangs, is there any movement?"

"I've never heard of this."

Mr Big said:
"The Thirteenth Gang is mostly a group of reckless people, with dragons and snakes mixed in it, it's hard to say whether they will show up.

"As for the Seven Sects...if they maintain their identities, even if they pay attention, they probably won't end up in the end.

"Not to mention Five Swords, seeing that you are by Jiang Shaoxia's side, I don't think you will covet Jiao Weiqin.

"As for one case and two meetings.

"Dao Yizong will definitely not care about Jiao Weiqin.

"But what the Shanhaihui and Baizhenhui will do, only they know.

"Especially the Baizhen Society...they like to collect rare treasures, so they may not be interested in Jiaowei.

"I heard that the whereabouts of Yan Wushuang, the vice president of the Baizhen Society, has been a mystery in recent days, but I don't know if he will come to the Three Immortals Mountain..."

"Baizhen will..."

Jiang Ran glanced at Mr. Da:
"Mr. Da also knows something about the Baizhen Society?"

"I'm afraid there are not many people in Jianghu who don't know about this hundred treasures."

Ruan Yuqing shook her head, but looked at Jiang Ran in surprise:
"Don't you know?"

"He is so ignorant that he can know a hammer."

Li Tianxin snorted, not missing any chance to ridicule Jiang Ran.

Ruan Yuqing was a little strange.

The class in this arena is often discussed in terms of martial arts.

The higher the martial arts, the higher the level you are in, and often the more powerful your vision.

It's a little strange that Jiang Ran's martial arts skills are extremely high, but his knowledge is shallow.

But this thought flashed, and he didn't care about it, he just smiled and said:

"Speaking of the Baizhen Club, Jiang Shaoxia might as well take a look at the silver ticket in his hand."

Jiang Ran was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he realize why Baizhen was so familiar.

Immediately took a banknote and took a look at it, on the top was the four characters of 'Baizhen Bank'.

Naturally, Jin Chan Dynasty does not have only one bank.

Every prefecture and county has its own bank, but the only one that can open the entire Jinchan Dynasty is the Baizhen Bank.

At the same time, other bank notes are often not interoperable.

Only Baizhen Bank, even if you go to other banks with banknotes, you can exchange for silver, and vice versa.

Therefore, many merchants who walk in the rivers and lakes do not recognize others, but only recognize the Baizhen Bank.

This saves them a lot of trouble.

"I see……"

Jiang Ran sighed in admiration: "This is holding the financial power... Maybe the Baizhen Society is not just an organization in the Jianghu, but also has inextricable connections with the imperial court?"

"While there is no evidence for this, it is to be expected."

Ruan Yuqing nodded: "After all, it is impossible for the imperial court to let an organization in the rivers and lakes sit on such a huge wealth.

"It's just that what is the relationship is beyond what we can know."

Jiang Ran nodded thoughtfully.

I heard Ruan Yuqing say:
"No matter whether it's overt or dark, things won't be small. You have to be careful."

"Miss Ruan has said that eight hundred times."

Jiang Ran dumbly smiled:
"I'll take care of myself, don't worry."

After several people said this, Jiang Ran suddenly looked up at the sky:

"How is this going?"

Everyone also looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was dotted with stars, and the cold moon was like a hook... nothing unusual.

Li Tianxin looked down at Jiang Ran again:
"Did you see something in the sky?"

"It's not seeing but hearing."

Jiang Ran said with a strange expression:

"It's Xu time now, why did I hear the sound of a wedding reception?"

"Pick up?"

Ruan Yuqing and the others were taken aback.

Jiang Ran's martial arts are superb, and his hearing is far better than that of everyone present.

Since he said so, he can never be wrong.

But in the middle of the night, late at night, who is getting married at this time?
"Could it be a shady marriage?"

Ruan Yuqing spoke softly, and looked at Mr. Da while talking.

Mr. Da, as a member of the Wenmo Pavilion, is well-informed and well-informed, so he might be able to give an answer.

As a result, Mr. Da didn't hear with both ears, and watched his nose, nose, mouth, and heart...

"kindness?"

Jiang Ran noticed Ruan Yuqing's gaze, and patted Mr. Da on the shoulder:

"Why didn't Mr. Big speak?"

Mr. Big smiled wryly:
"Jiang Shaoxia, don't embarrass the old man.

"Not to mention that the old man doesn't know what's going on, even if he knows, he can't say it.

"What I said just now is considered to be the old man's expense for Jiang Shaoxia's journey.

"Everything that happened after that, the old man is just a spectator..."

Jiang Ran looked at the big gentleman and nodded slightly:

"it is good."

Mr. Da breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After that, he swiped his pen and wrote quickly, recording what he saw.

Jiang Ran and the others didn't make much preparations, but were just careful. After a while, Ruan Yuqing and the others also heard the sound of gongs and drums.

Following the sound, a group of people gradually appeared from a distance.

However, what attracted everyone's attention was the blossoming green flames.

As the sound of beating approached, the group of people completely appeared in front of Jiang Ran and the others.

In front, there are people beating gongs and drums to clear the way, some people are holding lanterns in their hands, and some people are holding high wooden signs, writing "Luan and Phoenix sing together, a hundred years together" and other words.

In the middle is a large sedan chair with eight lifts.

It's just that the ordinary sedan chair is red, but this eight-carrying sedan chair is pale.

Even the silk hanging on the sedan chair is white.

Lanterns were hung at the four corners of the sedan chair, but the light inside the lantern was not the usual fire light, but a faint green light.

It looked devoid of festiveness, but instead revealed a treacherous yin.

Not only that, whether it was the person beating the gongs and drums in front, or the gorgeously dressed woman following the sedan chair, all of them had pale faces and thick blush on their cheeks.

Every one of them had a smile on their face.

It seems to be cheering for the next happy event.

But this smile is extremely stiff.

It seemed that a pair of invisible hands forcibly pulled up the corners of their mouths and fixed them on their faces, making them unable to stop smiling.

But no matter how brilliant the smile was, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Not even...not angry at all!
Seeing such a scene, Li Tianxin suddenly took a step back subconsciously:
"Are they humans or ghosts?
"Could it be a ghost meeting?"

Jiang Ran glanced at him in surprise:
"What a big fuss... where did you go in your usual coldness?
"Could it be that you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, but are you afraid of ghosts?"

"...Afraid, afraid of ghosts, what's wrong?"

Li Tian said angrily: "How can there be anyone in this world who is not afraid of ghosts?"

"Keep your voice down..."

Ruan Yuqing said softly:
"Are you going to draw them over?

"If they catch you and become the groom at that time, don't say I didn't warn you..."

Jiang Ran was stunned: "Are you afraid too?"

Ruan Yuqing's face was light and calm:
"Afraid of what?
"Where are there any monsters and goblins in the rivers and lakes, it's nothing more than someone pretending to be a ghost."

As soon as she said this, the weird wedding reception team in front of her suddenly stopped.

As if aware of something.

The sound of beating gongs and drums was instantly quiet, and even the smiles on their faces instantly became expressionless.

Start looking around at the same time, as if looking for traces.

Ruan Yuqing immediately covered her mouth tightly, turned around, and hid directly behind Jiang Ran.

But he touched someone on the shoulder, and when he raised his head, it was Li Tianxin.

Their reactions were exactly the same.

After being frightened, they hid behind Jiang Ran at the same time...

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while.

Just now he said so swearingly, so what is he hiding?
On the other hand, Luo Qingyi clenched his fists, vaguely intending to make a move... He truly believed that there were no monsters and ghosts in this world, and that the human heart was far more sinister than ghosts!

At this time, the group of people searched and ended, as if they found nothing.

Even the fire that Jiang Ran and the others lit did not attract their attention.

Start beating gongs and drums again, put a smile on your face again, and continue to move forward.

But after a while, the group of people had gone far away.

Jiang Ran stared for a moment, then flew out to check the place where they had just passed by.

Luo Qingyi and Mr. Da followed closely behind.

In the end, Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing followed hesitantly.

It's just that the performance of these two people is not the same.

Although Ruan Yuqing's complexion was a little pale, she still looked calm and calm.

It was Li Tianxin who usually liked to carry it.

This time it was really scary.

The whole face showed a clear refusal...

Jiang Ran looked funny, so he deliberately said in a low voice:

"Why are there no footprints on the ground?"

Luo Qingyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and fell into deep thought when he saw the messy footprints on the ground.

Li Tianxin shrank back subconsciously:

"It's a ghost, it must be a ghost!
"We must have bumped into a ghost to marry."

"Ghosts marrying each other...it's interesting."

Jiang Ran said: "You are not curious, what does this groom look like? Is the ghost bride pretty?"

Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing shook their heads at the same time:
"Not curious!!"

"Then wait for me here, I'm curious and plan to take a look."

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he jumped up and chased the team in front.

Luo Qingyi and Mr. Da also hurriedly followed.

Ruan Yuqing and Li Tianxin were left looking at each other.

When the cold wind blows, it is like howling ghosts and wolves.

The two of them trembled at the same time, looked at each other, and followed Jiang Ran's trail without even thinking about it.
