The Xuanyue Sect's intelligence network has always been very efficient, but in just three days, Xiaolan investigated what Su Xian wanted to know.

"Wan Sheng is not a good person." At this time, it was night, and the night of the Empty Cicada Sect was always chilling, Yao Lan closed the window of the room, gathered her clothes and sat down in front of Su Xian, and whispered, "He is from a small sect called Qianhemen, and there are not many people in the sect, but all of them are highly accomplished puppeteers." If it were their reason, they would have accused them of creating a puppet that could set off a lot of turmoil in the world, but the people in that sect were all concentrating on the study of puppet techniques, and no one wanted to wade into this troubled water. ”

"Among them, only Wan Sheng is an exception, Wan Sheng is the most powerful puppet master among them, and his skills are far superior to their master, and because of this, he began to be dissatisfied with such a secluded life." Yao Lan gently twisted the plum blossoms inserted in the vase on the table, and said in a deep voice, "More than thirty years ago, Wan Sheng manipulated hundreds of puppets he created, killed everyone in the master's sect, took the master's puppet classics, left the Qianhemen, and took refuge in the Sanssouci Valley, which was extremely powerful at that time. ”

Su Xian knew that Sanssouci Valley, this was a force that had always been hostile to the Xuanyue Sect, both good and evil, and when Wan Sheng took refuge in Sanssouci Valley, it was the time when the confrontation between Sanssouci Valley and the Xuanyue Sect was the most intense.

Yaolan only said what Su Xian was thinking, and then said: "Wan Sheng has made great contributions to Sanssouci Valley, but because of his identity and origin, he is still not trusted by the owner of Sanssouci Valley, Wan Sheng is unhappy in his heart, and later in the battle between Sanssouci Valley and Xuanyue Sect, he defected from Sanssouci Valley, and then disappeared for three months, and when he reappeared, he took a puppet to take refuge in the ghost gate. ”

"That puppet is the one you asked me to check, the later ghost four." Yao Lan mentioned Ghost Fourth, but she frowned again, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chu, who was standing quietly next to her, "Ghost Fourth is the first puppet to act as a killer, and he has been ruthless and has completed many dangerous tasks. Speaking of which, the ghost four and Xiao Chu are really a little similar, but they are a little different. ”

Su Xian asked, "What's the difference?" ”

"Ghost four has no face." After Yaolan finished speaking, she was afraid that Su Xian would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, "I mean, that puppet's face was crossed out, and he couldn't even see his facial features clearly. ”

Su Xian lowered his eyes and said, "The fourth ghost is Xiao Chu." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Lan glanced at Xiao Chu in a daze.

Su Xian said: "Xiao Chu's face was fabricated by me to Wan Sheng, and he was originally a puppet without a face. ”

Xiaolan: "......"

Su Xian pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something and said, "You just said that Wan Sheng disappeared after the battle between the Xuanyue Sect and Sanssouci Valley?" After disappearing, the ghost four appeared? ”

Xiaolan nodded, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Xian's expression did not change, but countless thoughts flashed in his heart. At the beginning, the battle between Sanssouci Valley and the Xuanyue Sect was the day when Chu Qingjiu took her away from the Xuanyue Sect, Chu Qingjiu was seriously injured and was sent to the Chu family by her, but she did not expect that it would cause Chu Qingjiu to die, and was ruined by the Chu family and thrown to the bottom of the river.

"Disfigured." Thinking of this, Su Xian couldn't help frowning and muttering, and then stood up suddenly.

This time and circumstance are too coincidental.

Xiaolan was startled by her movements, and hurriedly jumped up and said, "What's wrong?!" ”

Su Xian's face was pale, but he didn't immediately respond to Xiao Lan's words, but looked at Xiao Chu with a complicated expression. Xiao Chu's expression did not change, and he looked at her indifferently, or there was nothing in his sight. The ball of light on his shoulder glowed blue and flickered weakly.

Su Xian's voice trembled slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Could it be you, Xiao Chu?" ”

The ball of light seemed to shrink slightly, but after a moment there was no movement.

Su Xian stood in the hut, but suddenly felt as if she had returned to the overwhelmed escape three years ago, she and the seriously injured Chu Qingjiu walked forward without knowing the way forward, full of exhaustion and despair.

"What are you talking about?" Yaolan still didn't understand what Su Xian meant.

Su Xian didn't want to explain, because this idea seemed a little ridiculous, so absurd that even she couldn't believe it, she was silent for a moment and said, "I'm going to leave the Empty Cicada Sect, maybe I'll leave tomorrow." ”

Xiao Lan was stunned: "When will you come back?" ”

"Come back before the Xuantian test starts."

Xiao Lan looked at Su Xian's expression and knew that this matter must be very important, so she didn't say anything more, only nodded and said, "Be careful yourself." ”。

Early the next morning, Su Xian went to find Shu Wuzhi.

After knowing that Su Xian was leaving, Shu Wuzhi's reaction was very calm, he responded casually, and only advised: "Cultivation can't be broken, you have to practice the mental method I taught you every day, you must rush back before the Xuantian test, I don't want to have one less person to participate in the Xuantian test when the time comes." ”

Su Xian agreed to come down, and then turned around and planned to leave Zhimingzong, but after turning around, Su Xian thought of something again, turned around and asked in a low voice: "Since Master knows that there is a problem with my identity, why is he still willing to help me?" ”

"That's what you think I'm going to kick you out?" Shu Wuzhi smiled, "I said that I can't be wrong to look at people, whether you have hostility towards me or not, I can see at a glance, since you have no hostility towards the Empty Cicada Sect, I can be regarded as picking up a talented and intelligent apprentice, what's wrong?" ”

Su Xian was silent and nodded lightly at Shu Wuzhi, and then withdrew from the Zhiming Sect.

Shu Wuzhi didn't remember that he had missed it once, and that mistake had caused him to almost lose his cultivation.

After leaving Zhimingzong, Su Xian met Yaolan who was waiting outside, and when Xiaolan saw her come out, she hurriedly asked, "How is it, Shu Wuzhi agreed?" ”

"Nature." Su Xian walked outside, and asked as he walked, "Xiaolan, can't you let go of Master?" ”

When Xiaolan suddenly heard her ask this question, she couldn't help but pause and look at her with wide eyes.

Su Xian lowered his eyes and said: "He knows more things than I thought, I think, maybe when you approached him, he would have already noticed that you had another purpose." When she said this, she looked at Xiaolan seriously and said in a low voice, "He just chose to believe you." Just like now, Shu Wuzhi also chose to believe in Su Xian.

Even though he lost that memory, he still made the same choice when he did the same thing all over again.

Xiao Lan froze in place, listened to Su Xian's words in a distracted manner, and forgot to respond.

Su Xian took one last look at Yaolan, knowing that she understood what she meant, and quickly left......

Su Xian went to find Feng Yaochu.

After coming to the Empty Cicada Sect for a long time, Su Xian rarely went to other places except for her disciple Ju and Zhiming Sect, and this was the first time she came to Lingguang Sect.

Lingguang Sect is completely different from Zhiming Sect, Lingguang Sect is located in the westernmost part of the Empty Cicada Sect, during which the pavilions and pavilions are endless, and the cloisters and water pavilions are spread out, not like a cultivation sect, but like an elegant garden. It's just that there are no graceful flowers and plants in this garden, and those that can grow in the cold empty cicada sect are just pine, bamboo, and plum.

The people of the empty cicada sect seem to love plum blossoms, Su Xian walked into the cloister of Lingguang Sect, and felt that the fragrance of plum blossoms came to his face, faint and fragrant, which made people's hearts seem to be quiet.

After passing through the long pavilion, I saw several disciples of the Lingguang Sect practicing swords under the plum tree in the courtyard, and I was not surprised to see Su Xian coming, but nodded slightly. Su Xian nodded to them as if he had said hello, and then walked forward, and then saw an attic. There was a large piece of plum forest outside the attic, and the small window upstairs was slightly open, and Su Xian raised his eyes and saw the figure standing in the building.

Su Xian had never seen such a cold person, and there was indifference from thousands of miles away.

The man seemed to notice Su Xian's gaze, and Frost's gaze fell on Su Xian.

Su Xian was thinking about the identity of that person, and then he heard a voice belonging to Feng Yaochu behind him: "You are in the wrong place, I am here." ”

"The wind is far away." Su Xian looked back at the faint smile on Feng Yaochu's face, and said seriously, "I promised you." ”

Feng Yaochu's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said: "In this case, I'll go and clean up, and we'll set off immediately." ”

Su Xian didn't say much, nodded and said, "We'll see you at the mountain gate when we're ready." ”

Feng Yaochu cleaned up quickly, and he didn't bring anything with him after some preparations, so he waited at the mountain gate before Su Xian.

Su Xian followed Xiao Chu behind him, Feng Yao Chu turned his head and smiled at Xiao Chu, went down the mountain with Su Xian, and whispered as he walked: "I have also seen Ghost Si several times in the past when I was in the Ghost Gate, although he is a puppet, but he is full of evil energy, and now that he is following you, there seems to be a lot less evil energy on his body." ”

"Xiao Chu is not a killing tool in the first place." Su Xian has now determined that Xiao Chu is the fourth ghost, but when he heard Feng Yaochu mention Xiao Chu's past as a ghost four, he was still a little unhappy. She never thought that Xiao Chu would be a killer in Wan Sheng's hands.

Feng Yaochu saw her thoughts, so he didn't say more, and only asked, "Where was Wan Sheng saved by you in the first place?" ”

Su Xian said: "On the outskirts of Frost City, on the banks of the Autumn River. ”

It took them ten days to finally arrive at Frost City, Frost City is the range of the Bai family among the four great families, and then to the west is the Chu family, and the Qiu River flows east through the Chu family.

It is the autumn coolness, the maple leaves on the outskirts of Frost City are like fire, the leaves fall all over the ground, Su Xian took the wind to walk through the maple forest for a while, and finally stopped under a hidden tree, there is a small tomb behind the tree, and a stone tablet was erected in front of the tomb, but there was no inscription on the tablet, just standing quietly in this maple forest.

Seeing Feng Yaochu's puzzled look, Su Xian explained: "When I buried him here, I didn't know his name, so I didn't carve an inscription for him. ”

Feng Yaochu couldn't help laughing: "A person like him, when he died, someone collected his body for him, and it can be regarded as a cultivation in his previous life." His eyes sank, and he gently patted the stone tablet with his hand, and said, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid he's not dead yet." ”

Su Xian said: "You want to dig a grave? ”

"No need to dig, get out of the way." Feng Yaochu shook his head and said softly to Su Xian.

Su Xian took a step back as he said, Feng Yaochu's hand was still on the stone tablet, his expression suddenly froze, and his spiritual power gathered in his palm, and it suddenly skyrocketed. In an instant, the sand and rocks flew, the dust and smoke billowed out, and the fallen leaves all over the ground were stirred up again by this huge force, and fell down.

And in front of Feng Yaochu, the tomb had been shaken open a deep pit, and at the bottom of the pit, it was empty, and there were no bones at all.

Su Xian was silent, and Feng Yaochu laughed: "He really cheated on you." He then frowned again, "It's just that he cheated to death and left, and we have to find him again, but it's not easy." ”

"I might know where he is." Su Xian said.

There has been no news of that person in the world for a whole year, and there is no place in this world that is completely secluded, and if there is, it is only a few places.

Su Xian said to Feng Yaochu: "He once mentioned a place to me. ”
