Seeing Teng Kang and Wei Fang's sudden faces, Yin Hua slowly said his conjecture: "As I expected, Senior Brother Yan Ming has died at your hands." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Seeing that Yinhua had even guessed Yan Ming's matter, Teng Kang was frightened, but also lost the last trace of the will to resist, and told the cause and effect of the matter.
At the beginning, Teng Kang and Wei Fang were both miscellaneous disciples of Taihui Peak, although they were lucky enough to embark on the immortal path, but because of their poor qualifications, their cultivation was stuck at the bottleneck, and they were not allowed to advance for more than ten years.
Seeing that the immortal path was bleak, the two of them were disheartened, and they both applied to go down the mountain, planning to be the outer deacon of the Taibai Sword Sect together, and they could be regarded as having a companion with each other.
But because neither of them has any background, even if they are deacons of the outer gate, they can only be sent to a city like Xian Shui City, which is dominated by mortals.
However, because it is a mortal city, no other disciples of the Taibai Sword Sect are willing to come, so as soon as they come, they can directly take over the contact point of the Taibai Sword Sect here, and they don't have to look at other people's faces to live, and their lives are leisurely.
Later, there was another Yan Ming of Taizheng Peak, and the three of them cherished each other because of the same experience, and because they were far away from the sect, there were fewer conflicts of interest, so they have been getting along relatively well.
It wasn't until more than a month ago, when Teng Kang and Wei Fang went to the small barren mountain outside Xianshui City to look for elixir, that they found the remains of a cave that was suspected to be an ancient overhaul, and things changed.
Originally, Teng Kang and Wei Fang, one with three layers of condensation and one with four layers of condensation, had low skills, even if they found the ancient overhauled cave, they were unable to open it, at this time, the wisest thing to do was to report to the Taibai Sword Sect and ask the people from the Taibai Sword Sect to open the cave, and then, they themselves could also get a certain reward.
However, they found a gap in the forbidden place at the entrance of the cave, and picked up a few things near the gap, including the black sharp cone in Teng Kang's hand and some jade slips.
They carefully observed the things they had picked up, and finally determined that none of these things were from the recent world, and, looking at the faint demonic aura on the black sharp cone, they also guessed that this cave was probably related to the demon path side.
If it was an ordinary disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect, after having this inference, he would definitely report it in time and let the sect deal with it.
However, the hardships of the immortal path made Teng Kang and Wei Fang suffer from white eyes and torture, and they were sent by the Taibai Sword Sect to this place that was almost isolated from the monk world, so naturally they did not have much reverence and dependence on the Taibai Sword Sect.
Coincidentally, among the jade slips they picked up, there was a jade slip that recorded a formation that could break through the prohibition by brute force, called the Blood Light Breaking Forbidden Array.
There was already a gap at the entrance of the ancient monk's cave mansion, and with the assistance of the blood light breaking the forbidden array, Teng Kang and Wei Fang felt that there should be a great chance of breaking through the forbidden mansion of the cave mansion.
It's just that although this method works, it is a formation that belongs to the side of the Demon Dao, not only needs to collect 108 boys and girls for blood sacrifice, but also needs to sacrifice the flesh and soul of a monk as a formation, showing the ruthlessness of the Demon Dao.
Such a cruel thing, the two of them were also very hesitant at the beginning.
But as the saying goes, support the bold and starve the cowardly, Teng Kang thought, if they gave up this opportunity, even if they reported to the Taibai Sword Sect and got the reward of the Taibai Sword Sect, they would only get a temporary improvement in cultivation.
If they choose to open the cave by themselves, maybe they can get some great opportunity to change their qualifications, and besides, the Demon Dao is the Demon Dao, since they are not good on the right path, it is not impossible to switch to the Demon Dao.
And that Wei Fang has always been superficial and impatient, and has no assertiveness in case of trouble, on the way of cultivation, Teng Kang has been blessed a lot, and he is also used to listening to Teng Kang's opinion in case of trouble, so in this matter, since Teng Kang has decided, he has no objection, just follow Teng Kang to do it.
The rest is Yan Ming, originally, they didn't think about killing Yan Ming, not only did they not think about it, but they thought of getting along day and night all these years, and they were willing to share their secrets with him and invite him to explore the cave together, which was also one more person and one more guarantee.
However, Yan Ming did not agree to use the blood light to break the forbidden array no matter what, nor did he support them to harm people in order to break the ban of the Cave Mansion.
If you want to say, how kind and caring Yan Ming is, not necessarily, it's just that he has a bit of a bottom line in doing things, if he hides the situation of the cave from the sect alone, and the three of them explore it on their own, he is still willing to agree, after all, the monks are all fighting with the sky, and they can get a chance to fall from the sky, so that the cultivation will make great progress, and no one will refuse.
However, in order to break the ban, he sacrificed the lives of 108 boys and girls, and he could not do this no matter what.
Teng Kang and Wei Fang saw that Yan Ming didn't agree, and they didn't say anything, after all, everyone had their own choice, but they didn't plan to give up this opportunity, so they began to abduct boys and girls everywhere in Xian Shui City, and they acted very secretively, and tried their best to avoid Yan Ming.
It's just that after getting along for so long, how could Yan Ming not notice the changes in the daily behavior of the two, seeing that there were more and more abducted children in the city, Yan Ming finally couldn't stand it, and found the two to persuade them.
It's a pity that Teng Kang and Wei Fang have fallen into a state of madness in order to get the opportunity, how could they listen to Yan Ming's persuasion, and even, not only did they not listen, but they were afraid that Yan Ming would tell the matter after they knew about it, so they forced Yan Ming to join their camp and follow them, otherwise they would kill Yan Ming.
Yan Ming naturally did not agree, and the result can be imagined.
And Teng Kang and Wei Fang did not report this matter to the sect after killing Yan Ming, because they knew that deacons like them of the outer sect were not concerned by the sect, and even if they did not report it in time, they would not be discovered immediately.
As long as the prohibition of the cave mansion is broken as soon as possible, and then leave quickly after entering to get the opportunity, even if it is discovered in the future, the Taibai Sword Sect will not be able to do anything with them.
It's just that they didn't expect that Yin Hua would be so careful that he would investigate the deacons stationed in Xian Shui City in advance before going out to complete the task.
They thought it was good, maybe it was because she had suffered a lot of losses recently, and she had sharpened Yinhua's character a lot more cautiously, and after she took over the task jade slip from Zheng Tianxing, she conducted a careful investigation of the content related to the task.
This includes the geographical features and cultural environment of Xian Shui City, and to put it mildly, although Yinhua has never been to Xian Shui City before, if she asks her about a landmark building in Xian Shui City, she can answer them one by one.
In addition to the situation in Xian Shui City, she also conducted an investigation on several outer deacons stationed in Xian Shui City, and even went to Taizheng Peak and Taihui Peak in person to learn about the past and origin of the three people in Xian Shui City.
Unexpectedly, under his own efforts, he really found out something, in the Taibai Sword Sect, all disciples will have their own soul lamp, the soul lamp has the soul mark of this monk, the sect is to judge the safety of a disciple through the soul lamp, on weekdays, each peak will also send someone to take care of the soul lamp, once it changes, it will be reported to the sect, and then the sect will conduct an investigation, after all, you can't let your disciple die inexplicably.
It's just that this concern is mainly aimed at the "disciples in the sect", as long as the disciple is sent out, his soul lamp will be placed in another place, and that place is all the soul lamps of the foreign disciples, for these soul lights, it is impossible for each peak to send people to watch it every day, at most every once in a while, send someone to investigate, if there is a change, send a text message to the place where the disciple was sent out, and understand the situation a little, even if the matter is solved.
Therefore, the two completely different attitudes towards the disciples in the sect and the disciples outside the sect made Teng Kang and Wei Fang easily exploit the loopholes.
This time, if it weren't for Yin Hua personally asking Taizheng Feng, then Tai Zheng Feng saw that Yin Hua was a disciple of the Discipline Hall and promised to help her take a look at Yan Ming's soul lamp, and Yin Hua would not have known that Yan Ming's soul lamp had been extinguished more than half a month ago.
Of course, since Yan Ming's soul lamp was asked by her, she naturally learned about Teng Kang and Wei Fang's soul lamp, but the soul lamp of the two showed that both of them were safe and sound.
This is strange, as deacons of the outer gate in the same place, Teng Kang and Wei Fang's soul lamp was not extinguished, but Yan Ming's soul lamp was extinguished more than half a month ago, and according to Taizheng Feng's disciples, there was never any text message telling them that Yan Ming was dead.
This kind of strangeness made Yin Hua very suspicious in his heart, combined with the time when Yan Ming's soul lamp went out, and the time when the things mentioned on the task jade slip happened, Yin Hua faintly guessed that this matter in Xian Shui City was by no means so simple.
Of course, after all, there has been no on-site investigation, and Yinhua can't make a conclusion about it, in addition to man-made disasters, it can't be ruled out that there are evil spirits and demons at work.
Because the jade slip said very clearly, the captives are all children, and it is related to the immortal family, and the power of extraordinary people can solve it.
And Zheng Tianxing is afraid that he also regards this matter as an evil spirit demon is making trouble, and he feels that Xian Shui City is very close to the Taibai Sword Sect, and the powerful evil spirit demon will definitely not dare to come, otherwise he will be detected a long time ago, and the strength is worse, with Yinhua's ability, he can completely deal with it, and he can also help Yinhua cultivate the Qingguang Sword Technique by the way, so he handed over this task to her.
But I didn't expect that although this incident was not the real evil spirit and demon that was doing it, it was the evil spirit and demon in people's hearts.
As long as she thought of the hundreds of children who had ended up in an unknown fate and missing because of the selfish desires of the two people in front of her, Yinhua felt a burst of sadness, and after sorting out everything, she didn't dare to delay any longer, and asked fiercely: "Where are those children, you better say quickly, don't challenge my patience." ”
