Chapter 305 Taihu Water Claw
Xiao Ran divided the silver tickets in his hand into three batches and said, "This 10,000 taels will be used to arrange the aftert of the dead brothers, 30,000 taels will be used to replace equipment, food and grass, and the rest will be recruited to make the stockade stronger. In the future, the widows who died for our religion will be brought back to spend their old age. Master Ning, let's take care of the specific matters. Fighting in the world is just to make a living. Without worries, the church will work harder. Although the previous masters also had similar measures, no one thought it was so thoughtful.
"Have you asked what message did the person who attacked frequently today?"
"This man is a man. No matter how he uses it, he insists that Liang Cheng came to help secretly. I have asked the returning religious people, and I have never seen such a number one person before. An old man in white robe replied.
Xiao Ran tapped the table with five fingers and said, "If you stay alive, you will bring someone here. Wait for the rabbit at that time. After a busy day, let's go back to the room to rest.
No one asked about the inexplicable cause of Mr. Qiu's death, and even if he asked, he could not get an answer. After all, this thing is too strange, and no one thinks of Xiao Ran. He can only secretly guess whether it is retribution for doing bad things. Xue Ling and Yang Fan just walked out of another room.
"Brother, what's going on today? Have you recognized the identity of the young man in black?" Xiao Ran has never been able to figure out about this matter, and he has never seen his eldest brother lose such a gaffe.
Yang Fan straightened his head and said, "Do you still remember the man in black that Wudang Mountain Taiqing Palace met?"
Xiao Ran nodded solemnly. That time was very dangerous, and he inadvertently overheard some martial arts secrets, so he remembered it very clearly.
"Brother, second brother, what kind of riddle are you playing? Why are you still involved in Taiqing Palace?" Xue Ling is full of puzzles.
Yang Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't hide it from you now. Since Shaoshi Mountain separated, my second brother and I have sneaked into Wudang Mountain. At that time, you were with Qianqian, and the second brother didn't pull you to go through the muddy water, so..." Yang Fan roughly explained the certificate. As for the secret of martial arts that I overheard was too appalling, I thought about it and repeatedly and didn't mention it.
"It's not that there are blessings and difficulties. Why don't you call me?" Xue Ling said angrily.
"This is the second brother's fault, but the situation was special at that time. Wudang Mountain masters are like clouds, and even I can only respond outside. If it hadn't been for the big brother's light skills and refined, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you now. I don't want any of our brothers to have any accident..."
After Xiao Ran's patient explanation, Xue Ling finally calmed down and couldn't blame him anymore. After all, the other party was also kind.
"What does this Mr. Qiu have to do with the man in black you met?"
"The swordsmanship of these two people is somewhat similar, and even the swordsmanship used by Liang Cheng evolved from one of them. So I suspect that there is a connection between the two. I don't know when the other party stretched out his hand to the seven killings. It would be terrible if he had made a plan earlier.
"What? Did a swordsmanship evolve? Then how powerful this man's martial arts should be.
Yang Fan nodded solemnly and said, "I still remember that when I left Wudang Mountain in a hurry, I felt someone behind me. If it is well expected, the Taoist priest Qingsong was killed that day, and now he is planted on his second brother. There is also a master who appears in Shuangmu Town carrying a big clock, which is likely to be the same person!"
Xue Ling recalled that the five masters besieged this person at that time, and the other party still came and went calmly. For a moment, it was dumb.
"First...connate master?"
Xiao Ran and Yang Fan nodded slightly at the same time, and only innate masters can do it. There are 40,000 people in the Tang Dynasty, and it is rumored that there are only 50 masters in the world who have reached the innate realm, which is very difficult. These people are undoubtedly not powerful. No matter which school of disciples in the world breaks through the innate realm, they will send wedding invitations to celebrate for three days. Even to some extent, the strength of a sect depends largely on the number of innate masters. In the heyday of the Tianmo sect, the first faction of the demon religion, there were five innate masters who were in power to suppress other factions. For example, although there is only one innate master on the surface, there are several unknown old monsters in the dark, and the door will appear at the critical moment of death. This is the support they have inherited for a hundred years.
The three-person martial arts skills are no lower among their peers, but they are far from affecting the pattern of power on one side. Unless you reach the innate realm one day, you can truly be free in the world. Xiao Ran was silent and cleared his thoughts in his mind. All the time, he felt that there was a pair of invisible big hands manipulating everything. This feeling was very wonderful, perhaps like the old monk Xuan Ku's calculation: there will be a catastrophe in the world!
He doesn't know what will happen in the future, but there is a sense of urgency in his heart urging him to become strong and have the ability to protect his friends and relatives in the storm. Unfortunately, I didn't see any clue at that time, otherwise I would have paid some price to forcibly take down Mr. Qiu. The only clue that may be traced has been broken, which is really unwilling.
"To the way, let me show you something. This was found on the body of the man in black." Yang Fan patted his head fiercely, as if thinking of something, and took out a small package from his arms. Spread out layers of cloth film, which is wrapped in a finely shaped silver item. It is about two inches long and looks like a willow leaf, just like the feathers of some kind of bird. There is nothing special. The only use may be to exchange a few taels of broken silver. Xiao Ran took it in his hand and looked carefully, and finally saw some ways from the pattern above. Pointing to the curved and twisted bumps, he said, "This is an ancient Chinese word "land", which is only used by the earliest Daqin. I don't know if it's this person's code name or other meanings.
Xiao Ran reads books and is almost unforgettable. He will definitely not read it wrong, and the two of them are also very impressed.
"I think this should be an extremely mysterious organization, and things may have a token-like effect. People from the same organization use it to distinguish identities. Put it away first. I'm afraid that killing this person has caused some unnecessary trouble. It's better to be careful in the future.
Although the two elders confessed that it is better to subdue the two branches, the stars are located in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are also at the junction of the Qinglong Gang, Cao Gang and the twelve consecutive dock forces, and the relationship is complicated. There is no need to use too many people to attract attention from the other party. Let's explore the letter before making plans on how to act. Xiao Ran has completed the task, and there is no need to take risks. However, due to the situation, we should at least go once to avoid being realistic. This cheap master is not so good. He is only the nominal heir and does not completely seize the power.
"I heard that the twelve serial docks have shocked the court. Xia Zhong, Yan'er's eldest brother, has issued a military order to defeat the enemy within a month. It has been almost half a month. I don't know if there is any progress. I think the second brother is drunk. Yang Fan seemed to smile.
Xiao Ran smiled and should not be embarrassed to be broken by the other party. Although the misunderstanding between him and the Xia family has not been explained clearly, it does not prevent him from liking cigarettes. If you like a person, you have to like everything about her, including her shortcomings. Because I have been guarding the border gate for many years, I didn't see Xia Zhong last time I went to Xiafu. Of course, it's best to find a breakthrough from him. This time, I went to explore the attitude of the major forces in the world and plan for the development of the seven killings in the future. On the other hand, I want to see how Xia Zhong is. As long as his real identity is not exposed, there should be no danger. Two days later, Xiao Ran went south again with 500 strong teachers.
Since ancient times, Taihu Lake has been the north-south road, known as "36,000 hectares, 800 miles around". There are more than 180 large and small lakes, forming a cobweb-like water system, which is very important for shipping and water conservancy. At this time, the warships dense on the surface of the water blocked the waterway, and at a glance, they were full of officers and soldiers wearing armor and holding knives and guns.
Xia Zhong looked at the vast lake and felt a little powerless. 50,000 officers and soldiers said more or less. However, this terrain is too complicated and densely undercurrent. If you accidentally hit the reef, you have to choose a few more stable terrain to guard it. It has been half a month, and I don't know what news the other party has received. Except for a few small-scale exchanges, most of the time it has been shrinking. Because of the terrain, it can't occupy the advantage of many soldiers.
has also sent several mobile troops to explore, all of which are in and out. It has been half of the time since the military order defeated the enemy in January. If you fail, even if he is the son of Xia Shuangtian, the "God of War", he will never avoid the disaster of killing his head. Zheng and Wu will increase their efforts to suppress it. Unless you lead the snake out of the hole, you can seize the opportunity to win the battle.
