Incense Valley. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Tianxiangju.

It's a quiet place deep in the Valley of Incense, built against the mountains.

Three sides are surrounded by a towering wall, and only the main entrance is hidden, making it difficult to see inside.

Although the Incense Valley has undergone such tremendous changes in the past few days, there are still no disciples of the Incense Valley in this vicinity, because this is the residence of Yun Yilan, the lord of the Incense Valley Valley, and it is also his retreat place.

Ever since Yun Yilan began his retreat, all Incense Valley disciples had been forbidden to enter here, and of course, the Incense Valley disciples on the periphery were naturally defended like an iron wall.

And those who can enter Tianxiangju, except for Shangguan Ce, who has always been deeply relied on by Yun Yilan, only his personal disciple Li Xun can enter and leave here to meet his teacher.

As for others, including the elders, such as Lu Shun and others, they were also forbidden to enter and exit.

Even when the Xuanhuo Altar of the Incense Valley was infiltrated and let go of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox that had been suppressed for three hundred years, and even the legendary Xuanhuo Jian of the Burning Incense Valley, Yun Yilan did not even go out, but only let Shangguan Ce preside over the overall situation.

What kind of closure is he in that small courtyard?

This question lingered in the hearts of many Incense Valley disciples from time to time.

The sky gradually brightened, and Shangguan Ce gently pushed open the door in the slightly humid air of the early morning, walked in, and then closed the door.

What appeared in front of him was a small courtyard that he was already familiar with, a few linden trees, gently swaying their branches in the morning breeze, except for a small path in the middle, surrounded by green grass.

Other than that, there is nothing.

The leader of one of the three great factions of the righteous path in the world, but his residence seems to be simple to the point of simplicity.

At the end of the path, there is a two-entry hut with white tiles and gray walls, built against the mountain, and the door made of paulownia wood is painted purple, which is also hidden.

Shangguan Ce walked over, pushed the door open, and closed it again.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, as if the distractions of the world had been shut out of the house by raising his hand.

In the room, there was no one, only a few simple pieces of furniture, and there seemed to be a thin layer of dust on the tables and chairs.

Shangguan made up his mind, walked straight to the back room, came to a cabinet, opened the drawer on the left, put his hand in it and seemed to turn something, and after a while, a low voice sounded from behind him.

The entire wall slowly receded to the right, revealing the hard rock of the mountain wall and the dark passage carved out in the middle for only one person to walk.

Shangguan Ce did not hesitate and walked in, not long after his figure disappeared into the dark passage, the door slowly closed again, and there was no trace of it anymore.

In the dark passages, pebble-sized stones that glow are inlaid at intervals for illumination.

And while he was walking, he didn't feel bored, naturally there was another ventilation channel here.

The secret passage was not long, and he soon reached his destination, a stone chamber about the size of the inner room outside.

The stone chamber was empty, but there was a screen, horizontal in the middle, blocking his gaze.

Suddenly, from behind the screen, an extremely old voice came out: "Is it Senior Brother Shangguan?"

Shangguan Ce took two steps forward, stopped four or five steps away from the screen, and said respectfully, "Exactly, senior brother, is your body okay?"

That voice seems to be Yun Yilan, the world-famous Incense Valley Lord, but I don't know why, this righteous path giant who was as famous as Qingyun Sect Dao Xuan Zhenren and Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple in the past, at this moment, his voice almost sounded like a dying old man with a lack of energy and lack of energy.

I heard him laugh lowly, and said lightly: "Is my body okay, just wait for death." ”

Shangguan Ce's face moved, his expression was complicated, and he was about to say something, but he was cut off by Yun Yilan's weak voice: "What's going on?"

Shangguan Ce pondered for a moment and said: "I probably found out, it was the Golden Bottle of the Demon Sect that secretly provoked the fishman on the night of the accident, and I think she was killed by the fishman in the middle of the death, so she retaliated." ”

Yun Yilan was silent behind the screen for a moment, her voice suddenly sank, and she said, "Then is she aware of the big things we are secretly planning?"

Shangguan Ce's body suddenly paused slightly, and for a moment, the voice behind the screen was suddenly full of majesty.

"In my opinion, not yet. ”

"That's good. ”

Yun Yilan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Otherwise, if the matter leaks out, years of hard work will inevitably fall short." ”

Shangguan Ce nodded and said, "Senior brother, don't worry." ”

Yun Yilan paused for a moment and said, "The person who infiltrated the Xuanhuo Altar and let go of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Demon has found out?"

Shangguan Ce said: "Last night, Li Xun's nephew and Ke Ruhui tracked down the golden bottle near Tianshui Village, and I heard him come back this morning to tell that the ghost of the Demon Sect Ghost King Sect also appeared there, and made a plot, and caused Ke Ruhui to be attacked and killed, fortunately, Lu Xueqi of Qingyunmen, who came to Southern Xinjiang last night to inquire about his senior brother on behalf of Dao Xuan Zhenren, passed by halfway and gave him a helping hand, so that he was able to get rid of the attack of the two demons. ”

"What the hell?"

Yun Yilan's voice paused and said, "Could it be that Zhang Xiaofan who betrayed Qingyun ten years ago?"

Shangguan Ce nodded and said: "It is that person, when Qingyun Mountain caused a sensation in the world, Zhang Xiaofan betrayed Qingyun, and in just ten years, his Taoism has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now he is the number one general under the Ghost King." ”

Yun Yilan snorted and said, "The old guy Dao Xuan is old, and his head is a little confused, but he can't use such talents. ”

Shangguan Ce smiled, and then said: "Master Li Xun came back and said, he suspected that the person who sneaked into the Xuanhuo Altar that night and made trouble was Ghost Li, and to rescue the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, without the secret spell of our Incense Valley, only by using the Xuanhuo Jian of the Essence of Ten Thousand Flames can we unlock the confinement of the Xuanhuo Chain, in his opinion, I am afraid that the Xuanhuo Jian is on the Ghost Li." ”

Yun Yilan was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "What do you think?"

Shangguan Ce's face changed through the screen, and after a moment, he said respectfully: "I also think it's very possible." ”

Yun Yilan's voice came from behind the screen, and said: "When I met Dao Xuan Lao Dao back then, he prided himself on being a decent family, and he always had the idea of letting go and not killing mistakes, and praised me with this, do you remember?"

Shangguan Ce was stunned, not knowing why Yun Yilan suddenly mentioned this long-term matter, but he had to nod and say: "Yes, I was also by my senior brother's side at that time, I remember clearly, Daoxuan Zhenren did say so." ”

Yun Yilan smiled faintly and said, "But I see that ten years ago, on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, when he used the Zhuxian Ancient Sword to slash at that disciple named Zhang Xiaofan, what kind of mood did he have?

Shangguan Ce was silent.

Yun Yilan chuckled lowly, and then said, "You go! You are still in charge of the affairs here." ”

Shangguan Ce hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "That ghost over there..."

Yun Yilan's voice came clearly from behind the screen.

"I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go!"

The muscles on Shangguan Ce's face moved, and then he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Soon after, his figure disappeared into the dark passage, and a moment later a muffled sound sounded, apparently he had opened the secret door and went out.

In the silent stone room, Yun Yilan's laughter suddenly rang out, with a hint of desolation, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery: "What thoughts do you put on Xun'er, saying that he speculated, do you think I don't know? Three hundred years ago, you were derelict in your duties and lost the Xuanhuo Jian, but three hundred years later, junior brother, you still haven't made any progress!"

"Hehe, hehe..."

The desolate and somber laughter slowly echoed in the cold stone room......

Leaving Tianxiangju, Shangguan Ce walked out of the door, and somehow, with his kind of practice, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He settled down, pondered for a moment, and then walked outside, and along the way he came to a rather majestic looking hall, with three words hanging on the plaque:

The Temple of Mountains and Rivers.

This name is matched with this tall and majestic palace, but it really has a bit of a taste of the world, and I don't know if it was when the ancestors of the Incense Valley built this palace to meet guests, they also thought that one day, the taste of the world.

Shangguan Ce thought like this in his heart and slowly walked in.
