Chapter 296 Old Thief!

The old drunkard sat cross-legged on the bed.

He looked tired.

However, the breath has been adjusted evenly, and his life is obviously not in danger.

Jiang Ran glanced at him and frowned.

The old drunkard also looked at him and frowned... The frowning movements of the two people were almost the same.

I heard Jiang Ran say:

"Can't die?"

"And I can't die."

The old drunkard had a smile on his lips:
"I will still have to take care of your children in the future.

“If anything, it’s better to be a child.

"You were cute and well-behaved when you were a child. You would bring tea and water every day and ask for help.

"When I grew up, why did I become like this..."

Jiang Ran's face turned a little dark, which was considered a dark history.

After all, he has been born in two lifetimes, and he does not have the innocence that a child should have.

Knowing that he had no blood relationship with the old drunkard, he naturally had to be a little supportive of the old drunkard.

As a child, be well behaved and you will be lovable.

Otherwise, he is a naughty kid with no blood connection. The old drunkard will throw him away later. He really has no means of making a living at that age.

Later, the relationship became deeper and deeper, and I knew that the old drunkard would not abandon him.

Only then gradually did the true colors begin to emerge.

At this time, when he heard the old drunkard mentioning what happened back then, he couldn't help but wave his hands in disgust:

"Say a few words less."

"If I had known you were like this, I would have thrown you away back then."

The old drunkard spoke angrily.

Tang Yuanwai's eyes lit up:
"Why didn't you throw it away? I wish you had thrown it away earlier!"

"...and you pick it back up?"

The old drunkard gave Mr. Tang a dark look.

Tang Yuanwai scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Of course we have to pick it up. Young Master should have been raised by us."

"Thinking beautifully..."

When the old drunkard said this, he breathed out lightly and said:

"How did you know about the Five Desires Soul-Chasing Order?"

What I said to Yuanwai Tang before could only be said again this time.

After listening to this, the old drunkard nodded:

"I see... Is this the owner of Zuodao Village?
"Speaking of which, he is unlucky.

"However, he is still so useless. An unimplemented Five Desires Soul Hunting Order actually destroyed a pair of his eyes and an arm.

"If it had been him tonight, he would have gone crazy and turned into a monster obsessed with killing."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback:
"That thing still has this effect?"

"Why do you think your father created this Five Desires Soul-Chasing Order?

"To tell you the truth, your father is the most inhumane person I have ever met in the Demon Cult... I always feel that you have inherited part of this.

“But fortunately, you have inherited your mother’s gentleness and kindness.

"Otherwise, I will really throw you away."

This may be the case for older people. When they talk about one thing, they tend to move in other directions.

After you finish speaking, pull back:

"The reason why your father created the Five Desires Soul-Chasing Order back then was because he wanted to trick me so that I could lose face in front of your mother.

"The Five Desire Soul-Chasing Order itself does not have the ability to kill. It is most dangerous when the order is not completed.

"At that time, all the internal energy transported along the way was stored in this artifact, and then restrained by people's unique techniques and the blood of the five desires.

"The entire state is extremely unstable, and a slight touch can cause the internal force attached to it to backfire.

“The owner of Zuodaozhuang was injured by this layer.

"And what I won tonight... was the Five Desires Soul Chasing Order that they imprinted on me.

"It's a pity that it is said to be formed, but in fact it has not been formed.

"With the incomplete blood of the five desires, it can only be regarded as a half-hearted soul-chasing order. Otherwise, I would not be able to force the desires in my mind out of my body in an instant.

"Hmph, Jiang Tianye is such a genius, he couldn't defeat me, so he came up with this despicable method.

"It's really shameless."

After saying this, the three people present were a little embarrassed.

Especially Tang Yuanwai...

It didn’t matter that Tang Shiqing had never met Jiang Tianye. Tang Yuanwai was Jiang Tianye’s subordinate back then.

Being humiliated like this to my old master was still in front of my young master.

He couldn't help coughing twice:
"Almost got it..."

Jiang Ran also curled his lips:

"Isn't it useless later?"

"That's because your mother married him."

The old drunkard snorted:
"Then he had a conscience... He felt that what he had done before was too much, so he sealed the method and shelved it.

“It’s a beautiful name, but its purpose is unknown.

“As a result, it was stolen.

"It's okay to steal it and recover it, but he gave an order to destroy it on the spot.

"I can't even wipe my butt clean. I'm so tired that I'm going through this today... If I had known that this thing hadn't been destroyed back then, would I have been so unwary?"

"Okay, okay, it's all his fault."

Jiang Ran was speechless for a while:
"Why don't you find the body and whip it to vent your anger?"

Tang Yuanwai's eyes widened. He felt that he was worthy of being a young master. He could say these words and he had the style of my demon sect.

"That's bullshit."

The old drunkard rolled his eyes:

"His body has long since rotted away... In your words, I can give him a hammer."

Having said this, he coughed and said:
"Although I won't be controlled by the Five Desires Soul Chasing Order, once I am attacked by the Five Desires Soul Chasing Order, it will be very difficult to recover in less than three to five months.

“But Qi Tianyue estimates that he will take action within the next two days.

"You have to make preparations early...if it doesn't work, leave as soon as possible."

Tang Yuanwai shook his head:
"Lord Tian Que, you are a traitor to our demonic sect.

“What he is doing now is not just a matter for Tianshang Que and the Jin Chan Dynasty.

"It also involves the survival of our demon sect.

"We cannot retreat from this situation. Otherwise, if what happened 20 years ago happens again... we will have to spend many more years recovering."

Jiang Ran had heard the old drunk talk about this before in the ruined temple.

The war among the Five Kingdoms back then seemed to have been started by Jiang Tianye.

In fact, the fundamental reason is because of a magic weapon in the Demon Cult.

It is said that this thing can move mountains and cook seas, change the world, and has infinite power.

Although Jiang Ran always felt that these words were mostly nonsense...but these emperors believed it.

It was because of this incident that the Demon Sect, which had just regained some of its vitality, was once again shattered.

Now Lord Que in Tianshang is acting on the surface to inherit Jiang Tianye's legacy. To this end, he even attracted a group of demon sect disciples to gather in Jinyang Mansion.

Once things get serious and these people can't hide their identities, the Devil's Cult might be responsible for the blame.

At that time, the five major countries will take action against the Demonic Cult at the same time.

Can we still count on the Heavenly Tower to be at the forefront?
Therefore, the affairs of Jinyang Mansion will definitely have to cause trouble in the sky, otherwise the situation will be difficult to control.

The old drunkard naturally understands the stakes involved.

He immediately took a deep breath and said:

"In that case, let the soldiers come to block it, and the water come and the earth cover it.

"You all have to be prepared...

"Has the old ghost come back?"

old ghost?

Jiang Ran glanced at Yuan Tang when he heard this.

Tang Yuan laughed dryly:
"The leader has not returned yet."

Jiang Ran suddenly realized that it was him who was talking.

Just thinking of this person, Jiang Ran's expression became a little weird again.

Because according to the old drunkard...this man is his grandfather.

Ask Xiang Linnei that they had met before.

But it's just this side of the relationship.

Fortunately, he is not here now, otherwise, Jiang Ran really doesn't know how to face him.

"Inform him to come back as soon as possible."

The old drunkard said:
“In my current state, I can’t take action for the time being.

“When you really need it, the most you can do is scare people... If you can’t scare people, it will be self-defeating.

"And when I can't take action, the best experts on our side are this old ghost and Shiqing."

Jiang Ran couldn't help coughing:
"You don't take me seriously."

The old drunkard looked at Jiang Ran with some disgust when he heard this:
"Still those four knives?"

"……What's wrong?"

Jiang Ran felt a little unhappy: "Are the four knives not enough?"

"It's a little bit mean."

The old drunkard touched his chin and said:

"I have seen these four swords of yours in Mr. Da's story book.

"One sword strikes ghosts and gods... Those of us who practice the nine swords of Jingshen, the first sword is this, there is nothing to say.

"But I think there's something wrong with the way you used this sword... This sword is better at being silent, but it can travel thousands of miles.

“Why are ghosts and gods scared?
"It's because there is no sound before the sword is drawn, and there is no sound after the sword is put away. Even ghosts and gods can hardly detect it." When they saw the head fall, they would have to scream in surprise.

"In this way, we will be frightened by ghosts and gods, instead of being like you, showing off your holiness in front of people every day and showing off everywhere..."

"..."

After Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, he sneered:
"Why, you suddenly remembered that you are my master?"

"Listen carefully."

The old drunkard thought for a moment and said:
“The second sword and the third sword have different personal understandings and understandings.

"I don't have anything to tell you, after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes.

"What you practice is different from what I practice...

"But your fourth sword, if I guess correctly, have you been to the Ghost King's Palace?"

"I want to ask you about this too."

Jiang Ran said:

"Are you from the Ghost King's Palace?"

Master and disciple, you looked at me and I looked at you, and finally fell into silence.

It was the old drunkard who spoke first:
"That's where I got the inheritance of the Nine Shocking Swords. Your fourth sword should be taken from the scars on the wall.

"And that knife mark... was left when I was practicing my sword.

"It seems like you still owe this sword to me.

“This sword is the ultimate in skill, it has evolved the sword technique to the extreme.

"Normally speaking, no one can resist your sword attack... Unfortunately, martial arts in this world are also divided into tangible and intangible.

"For example, you send out a monkey to steal peaches, and I kill a black tiger to steal the heart. This is tangible.

"And invisible... Do you see any trace of Shi Qing's actions?
"When a visible sword encounters an invisible move, how can you defeat it?"

"Get the head start."

Jiang Ran spit out four words.

"it is good."

The old drunkard nodded: "That's it, but I plan to teach you the sword I have learned...

“This is an invisible sword, turned into a sword with your mind, and if you touch it, you will die.

"But of course, after this sword is taught to you, you have to understand every remaining move yourself.

“The most astonishing and brilliant thing about Nine Knives of Shocking Gods is self-enlightenment.

“What’s mine is mine after all… If you follow my path, you won’t reach the end.

"Only by following your own path can you have unlimited possibilities."

"Then I don't have to learn."

Jiang Ran said:

"With my current martial arts skills, I may not have a chance to cope with what's coming next."

"I know."

The old drunkard nodded:
"But you must learn this sword."

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at the old drunkard. When their eyes met, Jiang Ran suddenly smiled:
"Okay, I'll learn."

After saying these three words, I heard Tang Yuanwai say:

"In that case, Shiqing and I will go first.

"I'm going to gather people and prepare."

Jiang Ran heard what he said and said:
“When I was in Guzhang County before, I met the descendants of Wen Xinzhai’s lineage.

"Huayi revealed his identity in front of them, and now they have followed us to Jinyang Mansion... I will tell you their whereabouts, and you can bring them here."

Tang Yuanwai nodded:
"It doesn't get any better than that, thank you, Mr. Lao."

Jiang Ran looked at Tang Shiqing again:
"Don't forget to take the painting over to them."

"I see."

Tang Shiqing smiled softly:
"Don't be anxious, you are not the only one here.

"Before I fall, you can learn how to use the sword to your heart's content."

"...If it comes to that, I will take you away."

After saying this, Tang Shiqing's eyes lit up, and she seemed to think this was a good idea.

After watching Tang Yuanwai and Tang Shiqing go out, Jiang Ran looked back after a long time.

He turned to look at the old drunkard.

"Hey, finally remembered that you have a master here?"

The old drunkard glanced at him:
"Why, I heard before that you seem to dislike this marriage.

"Old Tang told me that you still want to break off the engagement with him.

"Now I see that your eyes are almost like those of others?
"Isn't the poetry so beautiful that it makes the hero sad to be a beauty?"

After Jiang Ran thought for a moment, he closed the door.

Then he walked towards the old drunkard.

The old drunkard sat still, letting Jiang Ran come to him, and then pulled him off the bed:
"You've been sitting here for a long time, let me take a break."

"...Now you not only disrespect teachers and moral principles, but you also don't respect the elderly and the young?

"My teacher is still injured."

The old drunkard was furious: "The Five Desires Soul Hunting Order!!!"

"You're hurt like shit."

Jiang Ran suddenly said something shocking:

"In Xintian Tower, when I reached out to check your pulse, I found that there was absolutely nothing wrong with you.

"This Five Desire Soul-Chasing Order is of no use to you, right?"

"Shhhhhhhhh!!!"

The old drunkard quickly stretched out his finger and made a silent gesture:

"Keep your voice down. They haven't gone far yet. Don't let them hear... They won't lie."

"I know..."

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes at the boss.

Or how can we say that there is a kind of disciple for every kind of master?

Jiang Ran was raised by an old drunkard, so the relationship between the master and the apprentice was naturally beyond words.

So when Jiang Ran first saw the old drunkard grabbing the knife, his heart was really cold and the blood all over his body was cold.

Later, Jiang Ran felt really distressed when he saw the old drunkard vomiting blood.

Going up and scolding the old drunkard was the most unique concern of his disciple.

But the moment he took hold of the old drunkard's meridians, he discovered that the old drunkard's body was full of energy, his meridians were not damaged at all, and his face was pale, as if he had been seriously injured...

I still don’t understand, this old guy is trying to trick people again! !
Jiang Ran realized this in an instant, but he didn't reveal any flaws.

Instead, he took advantage of the situation and pretended to be sad and angry, and asked Tang Shiqing and Tang Yuanwai to kill those people.

This scene was a perfect one. Jiang Ran didn't look happy because the old drunkard wasn't injured, nor did he stop there, not knowing how to proceed.

The whole process was smooth.

The old drunkard chuckled:
"At that time, my teacher was really worried that you would reveal your flaws.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...your boy is getting more and more outstanding now."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Ran frowned:

"Why did you even lie to them?"

"Didn't you just say it?"

The old drunkard is helpless:
"They are not very good at lying...otherwise, would they still need to use inner demons on you regarding the Tang Mansion incident?

"If I were to make the decision, you wouldn't even know that they are members of the Demon Cult until the children are born."

"...Yes, yes, you are the best."

Jiang Ran couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

The old drunkard licked his face and sat next to Jiang Ran:
“So, if you want to deceive Qi Tianyue, you must first deceive Old Tang and Xiao Tang.

"Otherwise, Qi Tianyue is such a thief, and he will definitely not be fooled.

"This old dog hides in the dark and stirs up the wind and rain, but his location is not airtight at all. I tried many ways but couldn't find him.

"Then we can only make him think that he has a chance to win and come to me personally."

"So, you acted out such a scene because you saw at a glance today that Qi Tianyue is not the real Qi Tianyue?"

Jiang Ran frowned slightly:

"You also knew there was something wrong with that knife?"

"Nonsense, who am I!"

The old drunkard sneered:
"I am your master, and their set of shabby things are all leftover from my play.

"You want to fool me? Are you making a fuss?
“It’s just that I didn’t expect that they actually used the Five Desires Soul Chasing Order...

"This does make me feel a little strange."

"Why is it strange?"

“Back then, your father was still alive, and the person he sent to recover the Five Desires Soul-Chasing Order was the current Lord Que in Heaven.

"This man has now gathered a group of old demon sect members under the guise of inheriting your father's legacy... But in fact, he was loyal to your father back then, and he was not that unswervingly loyal at all.

"This man... his true purpose is a bit intriguing."

The old drunkard winked at Jiang Ran and said:
"This time we will trick him first. If we are lucky, he will come in person, thinking that I am seriously injured and easy to bully, so I will wait for him to come over and jump up!

“If I didn’t chop him with a knife, I would scare him to death.

"If you are unlucky and only Qi Tianyue and the others come...

“Then we will chop off his right-hand man.

"I wonder what kind of monster he can be!

"The two people who came just now came to check the truth, so you let one of them go. It's good that this matter is confirmed.

"But Qi Tianyue is cautious by nature, and he will definitely bring people to investigate.

"When the time comes, let him see how there is nothing I can do. I can only force myself up and teach you my secret skills, so that you can... turn the tide."

Jiang Ran sighed in admiration when he heard this:

"If you want to be a thief, you have to be the thief... You are indeed an old thief. The older you get, the more thief you become."

"You bastard, how can you talk to your master?"

The old drunkard reached out and tapped Jiang Ran on the head: "No matter how big or small... Go, go, get me a drink."
