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

Chapter 324 New Year's Eve
Zhao Chen felt that he might have encountered a psychopath.

Inexplicably, he came to the door and said that the sword skills he practiced were taught by his master...

And from his tone, it seemed like even he himself wasn't sure.

Isn't this neurosis?
So he turned around and left.

The young man didn't come after him either.

Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he went to the place where he practiced swordsmanship as usual the next day, intending to continue his hard training.

Then I saw that the young man was still there.

And he was still in the same position where he was lying... There were some snowflakes last night, and there was no waste at all. They all covered him.

Fortunately, the snow was not too heavy and only a thin layer. Otherwise, Zhao Chen might not be able to see him.

"Why are you here again?"

Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel a little angry.

I finally got the sword technique taught by the Sword Immortal, and I planned to practice it. The Sword Immortal asked someone to send a message, saying that if I mastered this sword technique, it would help kill the enemy.

It's time for you to make your own achievements.

Such a stumbling block came out of nowhere.

As a result, the young man glanced at him vaguely, as if he had just woken up, then yawned like the boss, turned over and sat up:

"What happened again? I didn't leave at all."

"...Don't tell me that you slept here all night last night?"

Zhao Chen asked, suddenly feeling a little unbearable.

The clothes this man was wearing were not tattered, but they were also very dirty.

There are scars all over the face.

It can be seen that I have suffered a lot in the past...

It was so cold that I didn't even have a place to sleep, so I slept in the wilderness all night.

He hasn't been frozen to death yet?
This head is probably frozen, right?
Thinking in his mind, he saw that the young man nodded.

"Why don't you go into the city and sleep?"

Zhao Chen asked again. After asking, he felt that he had asked nonsense. If you have money, who wouldn't want to go to the city and sleep in an inn?
Otherwise, if you have relatives and friends to seek refuge with, you won't be alone in the cold and suffering.

Then he saw the young man glance at him:
"lazy."

"..."

Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, and finally determined that this young man's mind was indeed broken.

"Are you going to practice sword practice today?"

The young man suddenly asked.

"……yes."

"Who taught you your sword skills?"

"Didn't you say it was taught by your master?"

Zhao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This man's words didn't match his words, and he had forgotten what he said.

Then I saw that the young man seemed to be thinking hard for a while, and then said:

"Actually, I'm not sure either...

“I just knew I was looking for someone.

“Keep looking, keep looking… But I don’t know why, I’m always one step behind him.

“When I arrived, he went to another place.

"Later, I found a big house, and there was an old man in front of the door who told me that he knew me and that I was looking for my master.

"But I didn't remember that I had a master, and then he said, your master is Jiang Ran, the Jingshen Sword, and his sword skills are very powerful...what the hell.

"Hey...but I thought about it and couldn't remember whether this person is my master or not.

"But one thing is, I do know this name, and I can say with certainty that I am indeed looking for this person."

Zhao Chen was stunned after hearing this.

Can we also talk about Dao Xian?
He thought for a moment and asked:
"Then...you don't even remember it. How can you say that my sword skills were taught to me by your master?"

"The old man showed me my master's martial arts, so that I would not find the wrong person and be deceived again.

"His intentions are hidden in your sword moves. You can't hide this from me."

The young man sneered:
"Old man, I know how to worry blindly. I'm extremely smart. Who could deceive me?"

"exactly……"

Zhao Chen thought it was better to follow what this lunatic said first.

I always feel that what this person said seems to have some meaning.

It's not just made up...

If this person is really Jiang Ran's lost disciple, he has to help him, right?
After all, he taught me his sword skills.

With this in mind, he continued to ask:
"What then?"

"Later I lived in that big house for a while and listened to the old man telling me about my master.

“Then later, I suddenly became impatient.

"I plan to go find my master and ask him clearly in person.

"Then I asked for news about him and found this place... But, just like in the past, whenever I came, he would leave...

"How can this person run away so well? Can't he just wait in one place and let me find him?"

"...This, maybe the fate of your master and disciple to meet has not come yet."

Zhao Chen said something perfunctory, and then asked:
"Then since you know he's not here anymore, why don't you set out to look for him?"

When he said this, he listed a lot of possible reasons in his mind.

Then I saw the young man roll his eyes:
"I'm lazy……"

"...I can see it."

Zhao Chen felt that this person was not lazy, but probably really sick.

And the illness is not serious...

But this made Zhao Chen confused.

What's next?
It seems that he is really the apprentice of the Sword Immortal. He has received a great favor and has to repay it.

But Daoxian, the old man, lacks everything, and he is ambiguous with the eldest princess of the dynasty.

Anything you say in return is a joke.

But...his disciple seems to be in need of help.

Then why don't you help him find the Sword Immortal?
This idea came to Zhao Chen's mind, but he felt it was a bit whimsical.

While I was thinking about it, I heard the young man rubbing his belly and saying:

"Junior brother, can you find me something to eat."

"Ah? Junior brother?"

Zhao Chen was stunned and looked around:

"calls me?"

"Of course, my master taught you sword skills, aren't you my junior brother?"

The young man showed a rare soft smile:

"Junior brother, be good. Senior brother, I'm hungry. Can you find me something to eat?"

"……Row."

Zhao Chen originally felt that he should repay Jiang Ran.

I was originally worried that there was no suitable way.

As a result, this door was opened to me.

Isn't it a way to repay Jiang Ran by treating this disciple of the Sword Immortal well?

As for junior brother and apprentice... Zhao Chen didn't even dare to think about it.

He has self-knowledge.

I am a small soldier in a border city, and I am not too young. I have long passed the best time to practice martial arts.

How could he possibly climb up to a person as high as Daoxian?

But it doesn't matter if you can't reach a higher level. This Sword Immortal disciple likes to scream, so I can just listen to him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.

He quickened his pace and went to buy a lot of food and drink for this Sword Immortal disciple.

There are everything from roast chicken to sesame seed pancakes.

Soon, Zhao Chen came back and saw that the young man was still in the same position...

Suddenly, I felt blessed and asked:
"Do you have any money on you?"

"Yes, I have."

The young man nodded, reached out to take the roast chicken, grabbed it and took a bite, and then took out two big ingots from his arms:
"When I was leaving, the old man gave me the money and the banknotes, which were sewn into my clothes."

"..."

Zhao Chen grinned: "Then why don't you buy it yourself?"

The young man raised his head and smiled unruly:
"Because I'm lazy..."

Zhao Chen didn't take a breath and glanced down at his bandaged leg.

Suddenly I felt that this young man looked disgusting.

As a result, the young man said while eating:
"I think you are trustworthy. How about, after I finish eating, you can come with me to find the master."

"what?"

Zhao Chen was stunned. What was he doing to find him?
Immediately said quickly:

"Actually, I'm not his disciple, he just taught me a sword technique.

"We just met once..."

The young man nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed.

He was actually looking forward to seeing Jiang Ran again.

If this Sword Immortal disciple kept inviting me, I wouldn't have to go without 'reluctantly'.

But now that the words are clear, people probably know that they are just a passerby.

He is not qualified to meet Dao Xian again.

Then he sat down and watched the young man eat.

He probably hadn't eaten in a few days, so he ate very quickly. In just a moment, only the bones of a roast chicken were left.

The sesame cakes come in two or three bites each...

Zhao Chen grinned when he saw it:
"Take it easy, don't choke, drink some water, yes, drink some..." Soon, the young man had enough to eat and drink, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then stretched out the boss's waist:
"Let's go."

"Where?"

"Look for Master."

"Ah? Didn't I just say that I wasn't...hey, what are you doing?"

"You talk too much."

The young man came up and grabbed Zhao Chen's shoulders. Zhao Chen felt that this man's hands were like iron pliers. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

Only then did he know in his heart that this man was truly remarkable and worthy of being a disciple of the Sword Immortal.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Chen felt like he was rising into the clouds and mist.

But he was dragged by this young man and flew away directly.

After watching Jinyang Mansion getting further and further away, he finally realized, had he been kidnapped?
"You...you at least wait for me to leave a message home..."

"What?"

The young man tilted his head and glanced at him:
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen..."

"..."

……

……

Jiang Ran naturally knew nothing about what happened in Jinyang Mansion.

Their journey was much smoother than expected.

Except for a slight twist when I met the North Road Stranger on the way, I didn't even see a bandit at other times.

The eldest princess said that this was because the Jin Chan Dynasty governed the country well.

The people have food to eat, so there is no need to turn into bandits.

Jiang Ran could only say hehe...

Although there is a saying that if there is food to eat, who wants to be a thief?
But in fact, some people really like to be thieves.

If you don’t engage in production and have no capital to make a living, you can get money by killing a lot of people. Woman, is there any better deal than this?

There are no such people in the world.

But there were no bandits along the way, which was a bit weird after all.

But that doesn't hurt.

On the contrary, it accelerated the pace of Jiang Ran and others, making their journey smoother.

And seeing that the New Year is approaching, they don't plan to sleep outside during the New Year.

So he simply stayed in a city called Sifang Mansion for the time being.

I reserved a courtyard in the inn and planned to spend the New Year here.

The delay could only last two or three days, and then we continued to set off.

Before it was completely dark, Jiang Ran was pulled out of the room by a group of people.

The eldest princess said that Sifang Mansion is the most lively around the Chinese New Year. The streets are full of colorful lanterns, and people go out to watch the lanterns, guess lantern riddles, poetry contests, and other activities.

Tang Huayi said that she had heard about it when she first entered the city. Tonight, in the Rouge Tower in the city, there was an oiran who had been performing arts but not selling herself, and planned to start accepting guests.

High-rollers from all walks of life want to spend a lot of money to buy this first night.

Then he asked Jiang Ran, do you want to buy it for him... to make up for the harm done to him by the old drunkard?

Even Tang Shiqing was eager to try it out and wanted to go shopping on the street with Jiang Ran.

It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Jiang Ran had no choice but to go out.

Li Tianyu and the others were left to look after the house, while Jiang Ran took the eldest princess, Shi Qingwen, Ye Jingxue, and Chu Yunniang.

I originally wanted to take Tian Miaomiao with me.

As a result, Tian Miaomiao was not interested in this and said that if someone sang an opera, she would be willing to go and see it.

Wu Di was not at the inn that time, so Jiang Ran ignored him.

Anyway, Arita Youfang was watching silently, so nothing could happen.

Several people looked here and there, and Jiang Ran was naturally a little bit wild.

Standing in front of a booth offering poems and gifts, I felt like a copycat.

Borrowing several masterpieces from his previous life, everyone was shocked and speechless.

The eldest princess and others were even more shocked when they looked at Jiang Ran.

Then there is no more.

Poetry is of little significance in this era.

He is a scholar and poet by nature, and he likes to dance and write, but he has nothing to do with people like Jiang Ran.

What's more, copying documents from the public is harmless once in a while, but copying all the time is boring.

Walking and looking at it all the way, when night falls, the lanterns all around are lit up, it is really beautiful.

Jiang Ran rarely saw such a scene.

When he was a child, he wasn't interested. Later, the old drunkard ran away from home every now and then. Jiang Ran was even more lazy to go out alone.

Now, all these thousands of fireworks made Jiang Ran suddenly have an indescribable feeling about the world under his feet.

Especially the poetic and picturesque scenery around him, one on the left and the other on the right, made Jiang Ran feel inexplicably more stable.

This night was not without any changes.

The most striking thing is that the oiran from Rouge House failed to find a real benefactor.

Because at the critical moment, a master of martial arts came.

Regardless of the reactions of the people around him, he took the oiran away by force.

It was said that the man had great martial arts skills, and the Madam of Rouge Tower sent many people to chase him...but they all came back defeated.

Some cannot be found, and some cannot be defeated and end up in a mess.

But this person became famous for it.

His surname is Mo, and his name is Mo Bufan.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Ran.

If we have to get involved, we can only say that Rouge Tower is the property of the Iron Cavalry Alliance.

The Iron Cavalry Alliance and the Blood Knife Hall are enemies.

As the master of Xuanyuan Yida, Jiang Ran had a grudge against the Iron Cavalry Alliance.

He did indeed kill many people of the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders in Jinyang Mansion at that time, including their horses and carriages, all for the purpose of robbing the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Riders.

Now that this person is causing trouble, he has actually offended the Iron Cavalry Alliance.

To a certain extent, he is in a similar position to Jiang Ran.

However, it would be meaningless to say so forcefully.

After watching the lanterns, one day later, it’s New Year’s Eve.

The inn was bustling, and the shopkeeper was also very happy.

He smiled at everyone he saw and even gave a few extra dishes to the guests staying overnight.

The waiters in the shop were all given big red envelopes, so they were all very happy.

Jiang Ran and his group naturally gathered a large table together, and he was pushed to the head seat. He was unwilling to do so at first, after all, the eldest princess was still there.

As a result, I couldn't evade it, so I just let it go.

Jianghu people are all about being unrestrained.

And everyone in this line of work was called over.

Including the prisoner Yi Cangming... they were all dragged over and found a small bench to sit at the door.

Jiang Ran raised the wine bowl and originally wanted to say something, but Tian Miaomiao was already in a state of rage and her face was covered with oil.

In view of this, Jiang Ran simply stopped talking nonsense:

"Hurry up and use your chopsticks, otherwise silly girl Tian will eat them all!!"

Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, eating and drinking one after another.

There was not much fuss about this meal, and there was no hidden turmoil.

Everyone ate happily and drank happily.

Jiang Ran himself really opened his belly, and the shopkeepers who drank so much came over to investigate with pale faces, fearing that they would drink to death during the Chinese New Year.

As a result, Jiang Ran's face looked as normal and there was nothing strange at all, so he began to wonder if someone under his command had used his own money to buy fake wine for him...

The excitement lasted until midnight, and everyone dispersed happily.

That night, everyone except Jiang Ran drank too much.

Tang Huayi rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays. Except for the famous Qianyun Villa wine such as Zongyi Gaoge, he doesn't even look at anything else.

I drank too much tonight.

If you pull Tang Shiqing, you have to bow to him.

Tang Shiqing was helpless when she saw her sister acting recklessly.

In the end, I really fell in love with her.

The result is that everyone worships together.

Tang Shiqing, Ye Jingxue, Chu Yunniang, and even the eldest princess were all brought over to join in the fun, and naturally Tian Miaomiao was also indispensable.

I wish I could die in the same year, same month, and same day...

Jiang Ran allowed them to mess around and probably would have forgotten all about it early tomorrow morning.

Until everyone was safely sent to the guest room to rest.

Jiang Ran then came to the roof alone carrying a gourd of wine:

"Go and rest, I'll guard you tonight."

Li Tianyu glanced at Jiang Ran, nodded, and turned over without asking any questions.

Jiang Ran dumbly smiled:
"So taciturn..."

Suddenly he turned his head and asked softly:
"Is this also the style of your Wushenglou?"

No one was in sight wherever he looked.

But a voice came from the darkness:

"The Wusheng Tower is a place of death and no life. Naturally, he is very talkative, but it makes Daxia Jiang laugh."

The voice came from the direction Jiang Ran was looking at, but Jiang Ran shook his head, raised the wine gourd in his hand, and handed it to his left side:

"I don't want to kill anyone during the Chinese New Year.

"Have a drink with me?"

The visitor actually picked up the wine gourd in Jiang Ran's hand, and then sat next to Jiang Ran:

"Someone from the Qing Kingdom went to Wusheng Tower and placed an order. They wanted Wusheng Tower to kill Shan Yuchan."
