"It's not a big deal, don't take it personally. Qing Yan moved Ye Youlan aside, looked at Shao Heng and said, "Heng'er, worship Yuquan Peak, my master has not been able to teach you anything, but has to entrust the burden of Tianshu to you, I am really ashamed of you." โ€

"Master, don't say this, it is a disciple's luck to be able to enter the Yuquan Peak. It is also a blessing for disciples to be valued by their ancestors and respected masters, and to entrust Tianshu with the important responsibility. Although there are no other brothers and sisters in Yuquan, they all take great care of their disciples. What's more, the entire Shouyi Hall even allowed the disciples to choose a place to live, which was many times more comfortable than the rest of the senior brothers. โ€

Qingyan listened to Shao Heng's last witticism, smiled "haha", pointed to the chair next to him, and motioned for him to sit down.

Abel stood with his hands hanging down on the side, also smiling.

"Abel, you go and get busy with your business first. Qingyan suddenly said to Abel.

Abel was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Okay, you master and apprentice talk well." โ€

After only Qingyan and Shao Heng's master and apprentice were left in the house, Qingyan looked at Shao Heng with gentle eyes and asked, "Your ancestor, went to Yuxu Mountain?"

"Yes. Shao Heng looked up at Qing Yan and hesitated: "Master, is it ......?"

Qingyan raised his hand to stop him, and said lightly: "Don't worry. Heng'er, there is one thing that you must remember. โ€

Qingyan Zhenren's eyes were also as bright as stars, and with the brilliance of wisdom: "No matter what the situation, don't forget that you are a person from my Yuquan Peak, a disciple of my Qingyan, and a disciple of your ancestor." โ€

"Master?" Shao Heng didn't understand why Qing Yan suddenly said this, was he worried that what Jiang Huai had done would be revealed?

If so......

Shao Heng only thought about it for a moment, and then he understood that if Jiang Huai's matter was revealed to the world, Yuquan Peak would be criticized up and down, and he, the only disciple, would bear the brunt.

Even if they had cleared the portal themselves, it would be difficult to stop the crowd.

"I have been sick for many years, and although I have finally resumed my cultivation now, it is already difficult to find the road again in this life. And I, too, will follow the example of Senior Brother Qingjing, and there will only be one disciple like you. Qing Yan's gentle voice was like the heat rising from a cup of warm tea: "In the future, Yuquan Peak will always rely on you to inherit the mantle." โ€

"Disciple...... Thank you for your kindness. โ€

At this time, Qingyan was as leisurely as ever, and he couldn't see the slightest twists and turns in his heart.

"You are in a hurry to see me, you must have something important to figure out. โ€

"Yes, the disciple only felt a thousand things, but he couldn't find the thread to solve the puzzle. โ€

"Don't worry, it's still a long night, you can talk about it one by one. โ€

Qingyan's quiet voice suppressed all the worries in Shao Heng's heart, from the time he left Cunwei Mountain under the pseudonym "Falling" to borrow the power of Tianshu to walk, and at the same time found the clues to Yunlai Pavilion little by little, as well as what happened and encountered later, he told Qingyan Zhenren everything in detail.

"Master......" When Shao Heng finished speaking, it was already in the middle of the night, and just as he wanted to speak, Qingyan Zhenren interrupted him, and asked with a clear eye: "You have married Dan in Kunlun Mountain?"

Shao Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he unlocked the magic of the Heavenly Illusion Bead, revealing his true cultivation: "Yes, they all rely on the help of the Lord of Kunlun Mountain." โ€

Qing Yan couldn't hide his shock between his eyebrows, and he couldn't hide that trace of pride, so he said the word "good" three times in a row, and said: "Lord of Kunlun Mountain...... I've only heard your ancestor mention it once. This mountain lord, I'm afraid that she is indeed an immortal, and you are lucky enough to meet her, which means that you are blessed. โ€

After Qingyan sighed, he turned the topic back to business: "However, it can be seen from this. It is not surprising that Senior Brother Qingjing suspects that these things are related to the Ancient Tribulation. Otherwise, the Kunlun Mountain Lord would not easily pay attention to these worldly disputes. The Immortal Gate that can make the master behind the scenes and the Lord of Kunlun Mountain pay attention at the same time is the key to solving these puzzles. โ€

"Yes, the disciple thinks so. It's just that I didn't expect that after returning to the mountain, I learned that Chen Taichen said goodbye without saying goodbye, which was really a disciple's negligence. Shao Heng thought of the roll of yellow silk and Chen Taichen who disappeared without a trace, and couldn't help but feel a little remorseful.

Knowing this, he should have been more cautious about the other party.

"Don't chase after yesterday's events, I know from your words that the man is quite shrewd, and may have his own plans. If you have a chance, you will definitely be able to meet him again. As for what you said...... On that Shenzhou spiritual vein map, why the four factions have special marks, this matter, the teacher can answer a thing or two for you. โ€

Shao Heng's expression perked up and listened.

Qing Yan didn't say it directly, but mentioned another thing first: "You said that you met a strange person with a horn and blue skin in the Lingji Cave Heaven?"

"Not bad. Shao Heng took out the storage bag, "The disciple killed several of them and specially brought the corpses back so that they could be identified." โ€

With that, he untied the bag and threw it on the floor.

The blue-black dust scattered from the storage bag, like dust sprinkled on the blue-gold stone bricks, and was barely visible.

Other than that, there was nothing else, let alone the strange corpse in Shao Heng's mouth.

Shao Heng was immediately stunned, raised his head and said hurriedly: "Master, the disciple did bring three strange corpses......

"Don't panic. Qingyan Zhenren got up, squatted beside the small pile of black dust-like things, gently twisted a small handful and rubbed it on his fingertips, and then dusted off the remaining dust on his fingertips and straightened up, his eyes were slightly solemn and said, "Sure enough." โ€

"Master, what happened?"

Qingyan Zhenren sat down again, pointed to the pile of dust on the ground and said, "You did bring it back, but it was just ...... This is the Western Continent Demon Clan, and after death, the corpse turned into black dust and dispersed in the wind. โ€

He ignored Shao Heng's horrified gaze and said to himself: "In this way, it all makes sense." โ€

"You should know that the place where we are is the eastern continent of Shenzhou, not all of it. A mountain range from north to south of the Lianyun Mountains completely divides the continent into two sections, whether it is the ten sects of Xuanmen or the five sects of the Demon Dao, all the large and small families and countries are all on the eastern continent. โ€

Shao Heng nodded, his expression a little abrupt and a little confused: "But...... No one has ever crossed the Lianyun Mountains. It is said that this mountain range is boundless, and the west is uninhabited......"

"That's right, throughout the ages, countless predecessors have tried to explore the truth of the Lianyun Mountain Range, but no one can give an answer. No one knows how to get to the other side of China. The answer, however, lies in the four factions on that picture. Qingyan Zhenren said lightly.

"This matter is within our sect, and only the head of the sect, Uncle Tai Lawyer, your ancestor, and Senior Brother Qingning and his teacher know about it, and now there is another you. Qing Yan's words were like a bell, ringing in Shao Heng's mind, making him wait with bated breath.

"Ciyun Zhai, Cunwei Mountain, Danding faction...... Star Luo Sect ...... From north to south, rooted in the Lianyun Mountains, lined up in a row, it is the passage that guards the east and west continents of Shenzhou. โ€

"Shizun means...... Among the four factions, there is a secret passage to the Western Continent?"

"Yes. It's just that this passage has been sealed by the powerful since the day it was generated, and it has never been opened. Qingyan rubbed his brows, as if he was a little tired: "No one has been to the Western Continent, and no one knows who or what is there. But since there have been records, they have warned future generations to guard this passage and never break the seal, otherwise the world will be in chaos and the lives will be ruined. And the so-called 'demons' are also rumored to live in the Western Continent, but for some reason, these people are very different from us, and after death, their corpses turn to ashes and disappear in the wind. โ€

"That'...... Could it be that the seal was broken somewhere?" Shao Heng asked, remembering everything he had encountered in the Lingji Cave.

"No way. Qingyan Zhenren said categorically: "The seals of the four factions complement each other and are connected with each other, if something goes wrong, the rest of the sects should be aware of it...... And so far, the head of the master has never ......"

Speaking of this, Qing Yan suddenly stopped.

Shao Heng was also stunned: Taiwei Zhenren, the head of Cunwei Mountain, closed into a dead pass during the opening of the Lingji Cave Heaven.

"Could it be...... What else is wrong with the retreat?" Qingyan's expression was a little ugly.

Shao Heng's expression changed for a while and then said: "The real person in charge of the sect has cultivated to the heavens and the earth, and this matter should be a coincidence. โ€

"Yes. Shi Bo's cultivation has reached the peak, and there are people who are good at scheming and calculating can also deduce one or two, but I am afraid that these people are ...... Waiting for the head of the master to retreat, waiting for Qingzun to ascend, he dared to do all this. โ€

"If there is an obstacle to the seal somewhere, the disciple suspects that it is the Star Luo Sect. โ€

"I don't know about this yet. Don't look at the Star Luo Sect is now a Demon Sect, but 10,000 years ago, it was also considered to be among my righteous paths. It's just that the descendants are not good, and there is now. Lingji Cave Heaven is different from Shenzhou, you also said, Jiang Shi went straight to the Snow Peak Heavenly Palace in it, perhaps, there is another secret passage in the Cave Heaven that can connect the Western Continent and Lingji Cave Heaven. After all...... No matter which side it is, it will enter the Lingji Cave Heaven in full view of everyone. That demon person is completely different from us, how can he hide his identity and blend in?"

"The master is reasonable. Shao Heng nodded: "By the way, Master, where is the so-called seal? Moreover, what does the person behind the curtain have to do with this seal?"

"The place where the seal is located, the teacher doesn't know, and you don't need to know. As for luck...... That's something I didn't figure out. Maybe Chen Taichen, who led the immortal sect and drew the map of the spiritual veins of Shenzhou and marked the special features of the four factions, can answer for you and me. โ€

"What does the master think of the matter of Jinyun City?"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it's hard to make a conclusion, so let's discuss it after your ancestor returns. Qingyan Zhenren took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "It's a matter of several families in Xiaolang Villa and Mr. Xiao......

"There are many people who have grievances with Mr. Xiao, but there are few who have the ability to do this, and the disciples and others are also confused, so they can only rely on the news of the purple flame, and plan to find a way to visit those seniors to see if there are any clues. โ€

"Heng'er, do you know that not all grievances in this world will be resorted to. Qingyan Zhenren looked at his only disciple and said word by word.
