Jin Yutong

Chapter 145

Counting the days, it will be about a week before the final of the jade carving competition. For several days, Chen Ran has been practicing the eight-sword split-wave sword technique day and night.

Apart from buying daily necessities, Chen Ran stayed at home and practiced non-stop every day, but he still didn't break through the bottleneck of the eight-sword split-wave knife technique.

However, although he didn't break through the bottleneck, his knife work has been able to enter the room. Compared with before he got the eight-sword split-wave knife technique, he has improved a lot. If he is talking about knife work at this moment, he has definitely surpassed the level of most first-level jade carving masters , Even compared to the second-level jade carver, it is better than many people.

Of course, in the world of jade carving masters, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many hidden masters among the people. At this moment, Chen Ran can only be regarded as a small achievement, far worse than the masters.

Even Lu Tianming and his like are much better than Chen Ran. After all, the time for Chen Ran to obtain the Eight Sabers and Waves Saber Technique is too short. If he is given some time, he may be able to surpass them.

Although he has practiced for so long, he still hasn't broken through the bottleneck, but Chen Ran is not discouraged, and still insists on practicing every day.

As for the one-knife and one-knife technique before the eight-knife split-wave knife technique, Chen Ran has long been familiar with the practice, and his control over the knife technique has also reached an unimaginable level. Place, just carve any place, if it is darker, it will be deeper, if it is shallower, it will be shallower, absolutely exact.

When Chen Ran practiced, he still used marble to practice, and only when he found the feeling, he would use jade to carve. Even so, his room was full of large and small jade objects, which were only consumed by the cost of materials. Not less than one hundred thousand.

In the room, after practicing with marble for a long day, Chen Ran started to try jade carving again.

Chen Ran focused his eyes on a piece of Dushan jade in front of him, and with a huff, he exhaled all the air in his chest, and in the next moment, he had already moved!

But it was just a flash of shadow, and Chen Ran had already returned to his original position.

However, there was still only a trace left on the jade. Although this trace served as a finishing touch, it was obvious that this was not what Chen Ran wanted.

try harder!

Chen Ran clenched his fist and told himself in his heart.

It's just a pity that it failed again the second time!

Still failed the third time!

The fourth time is still a failure!

The sweat on Chen Ran's brows kept flowing down like pearls with a broken thread, which wet his clothes.Although he failed one after another, Chen Ran didn't stop, and was still moving. He still didn't believe in this evil, and he was only one step away from success. Could it be that this step was so difficult for him?

a day later.

Chen Ran couldn't hide the look of tiredness on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Squatting on the ground a little slumped, looking at the pile of failed jade wares in front of him, Chen Ran was a little dazed.

Where is the problem?

Could it be that there is an error in which link?

Chen Ran frowned, and violently pulled at his unkempt hair with his right hand.After pondering in pain for a long time, Chen Ran didn't figure out why. Instead, he squatted on the ground and leaned against the wall and fell asleep. He slept very deeply. For so many days, he hardly had a good night's sleep. At this moment , he was really tired.

Not long after Chen Ran passed out, someone knocked on the door of his room, and the person standing outside knocking was the landlord, a policewoman.

The landlord, a policewoman, was still wearing a criminal police uniform. Standing at the door, she was holding a black bag in her hand, and in the living room behind her, there was a large box with a handle, as if she was about to go on a long journey.

After knocking for a long time with no response, the policewoman landlord with a cold pretty face pushed the door open and walked in. After searching for a while, she finally found Chen Ran who was squatting in the corner and sleeping, and couldn't help but frown. I frowned.

Seeing Chen Ran sitting on the ground and falling asleep, she turned around and wanted to leave, but just stepped out of the room, but turned around again.

Gently placing the bundle by the door, she frowned and walked in front of Chen Ran, lowered her head, bit her lip, and gave Chen Ran a rather gritted look.

With a snort, she stretched out her foot and kicked Chen Ran lightly, but Chen Ran didn't respond.

After kicking hard, Chen Ran still didn't respond.

Another kick was made, but Chen Ran still didn't respond.

"What a dead pig!"

The landlord, a policewoman, grumbled angrily, then squatted down, and carried Chen Ran to the bed.

"Better sleep to death!"

After covering Chen Ran with the quilt, the landlady, a policewoman, stared at Chen Ran's sleeping face, gritted her teeth and murmured. At the end, she stretched out her hands and danced towards Chen Ran's neck, as if to pinch Chen Ran's neck. Then strangled to death in sleep.

It's just that she soon felt that it was too cheap for Chen Ran to die in his sleep like this, so let's use another method.

Chen Ran was lying on the bed when he woke up, which made him a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, he was a little unconscious at the time, and it was not impossible to crawl on the bed before going to bed.

He got out of bed, opened the window, and took a deep breath. The chilly air made Chen Ran wake up immediately.

Looking back at the pile of jade wares, Chen Ran sighed softly. Although there are only two days left before the jade carving competition, the eight-knife split-wave knife technique still has no breakthrough, but it has reached this point. Anyway, let's take a rest first.

If this continues, even if he can persist, his body will collapse.

Speaking of the body, Chen Ran suddenly thought of Master Miao. Since he returned to Zhongdu, he has never been to Master Miao's place. Until now, he has not figured out the reason why Master Miao treats him so specially.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Chen Ran felt that Master Miao would not harm him. He knew very well that if he hadn't had the soup "medicine" that Master Miao had given him to drink during the time he had been practicing the Eight Sabers and Waves Saber Technique, he would have suffered a lot. His body had already collapsed, and every time he drank the soup 'medicine' given by Master Miao, he could feel that his body was much stronger.

At this point, I felt the most profound when practicing the eight-sword split-wave knife technique.

Since the eight-sword split-wave sword technique still couldn't break through, Chen Ran decided to go out for a walk. After all, he might have to go to Huadu tomorrow, and he should deal with some things that should be dealt with in Zhongdu.

Go out for a walk, maybe you can find inspiration.

Chen Ran rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a while before finding out his mobile phone. For the past few days, his mobile phone has been turned off.Turning on the phone, I received a series of text messages.

Most of the text messages are reminders to receive calls. Chen Ran checked and found that these calls were from Uncle Huang, from Ning Wei, from Guo Hai and Yang Long, and from Bai Lao and Wang Zhiqing. Here, there is another strange number.

In addition to the call notification, there were five more messages, three of which were sent by Chen Xiaowen and Chen Xiaomei, and the fourth was a scam message, that is, a bank account number for money transfer.

This kind of information didn't feel fresh at all, so Chen Ran deleted it directly, and the last one was sent by an unfamiliar account.

"Lang Yalang, after a farewell, I have a lot of thoughts, thousands of thoughts, and all kinds of helplessness. I finally leave. I only hope to meet again in a year. Aran, give me a year. After a year, I will give up everything and return to the By your side, wait for me, wait for me..."

This message was sent by an unfamiliar account. Chen Ran scanned the beginning and the end, thinking who sent the blessing message, so he deleted it directly.

But he didn't notice the address in the text message.

It was his negligence, but it changed a lot.

After Chen Ran read the text message, he immediately called Guo Hai and Yang Long respectively. Guo Hai was fine, but he just said that he would drive to Zhongdu tomorrow, and when he arrived in Zhongdu, then Chen Ran, the two went to the capital together. Huadu.

Yang Long had nothing else to do, he just asked Chen Ran if he was back and was going to fight the local tyrants. Chen Ran told him that he had been back for a few days, which immediately provoked him to complain.

When Chen Ran said that he would leave tomorrow, he immediately said that he would come over at night, and when he learned that Chen Ran was going to Huadu to participate in the jade carving competition tomorrow, he also became interested and said that if he had time tomorrow , also went with Chen Ran.

After hanging up Yang Long's phone, Chen Ran was going to call Bailao, but after thinking about it, he decided to go directly to Bailao's shop.

Stepping into Beihuan Antique City again, Chen Ran's mood was a little different.Chen Ran observed while walking, not only the antiques on the street stalls, but also the people coming and going.

In the past, Chen Ran didn't pay attention to pedestrians, but now he pays attention to them. While paying attention, he ponders, and what he ponders is naturally people's hearts.

No good things were found, and Chen Ran was not disappointed.

I didn't see Bai Lao in Bai Lao's ceramic shop, so Chen Ran came to Bai Lao's tea shop.

"Xiao Ran, where have you been all this time? It's really not easy to see you."

Originally, Bai Lao was in the box, but when he heard that Chen Ran was coming, he immediately ran out of the box. When he saw Chen Ran, he laughed heartily, but complained for a while.

Chen Ran could only continue to apologize with a wry smile.

Bai Lao complained about Chen Ran for a while, and then enthusiastically pulled Chen Ran into the box.

The guests in the tea shop who watched this scene couldn't help being surprised, and asked who this young man was. After all, Bai Lao had a high status in the antique city, but he treated such a young man with such enthusiasm.

After learning of Chen Ran's identity, they suddenly realized one by one, which also caused Chen Ran to be surrounded by people when he left Bai Lao's box.

At noon, Chen Ran had lunch with Bai Lao.Before leaving, Bai Lao confessed to Chen Ran that Chen Ran had time to go to his house to look at his collection of good things.

Chen Ran fully agreed.

Back at the apartment, took out the key, opened the door and walked in, Chen Ran frowned.
