Xue Yu was involved in the matter of Qingyunjue in Chenzhou Loucheng eight years ago, but it was five years later, and he did not die "accidentally" outside until three years ago.

For his father Xue Yu's codex, Xue Yu remembered that at first it was just a booklet that he used to occasionally memorize what he saw, and I don't know when Xue Yu always looked a little heavy every time he picked up the codex again, and he would often look through it and occasionally pick up the pen to add something. Although Xue Yuan was also curious about the handbook, it was not until his father Xue Yu and mother Li Jinglan passed away one after another that he inadvertently turned it out, and he had the opportunity to read some in a hurry, but unfortunately he only read part of it, and it was taken away by the people of the Xue family again, and he could not keep it.

I was in a hurry at first, and I didn't pay attention to many details, until I listened to Xiao Luo's speculation now, and I remembered that although that sentence was recorded in the codex in the position recorded in the trip to Loucheng eight years ago, it was not necessarily written eight years ago, and it was very likely that Xue Yu found something in the next few years, so he was moved to add this sentence of emotion on that page.

So the Qingyun Jue incident in Loucheng eight years ago is afraid that it is quite similar to the old incident, and it is even very likely that Xue Yu found some clues in this matter, and he was involved in another one step by step.

So, Xiao Luo and Xue Yun decided to continue to investigate the affairs of Qingyunjue, Yuan Che, and Shangguan's family, and maybe they could find some clues of the "past" that were hidden more deeply.

To find out about Yun Jue, the whereabouts of the Shangguan family are unknown, and there are no more clues about the whereabouts of the assassins who were let go by Xue Yu back then, and now it seems that they only have one definite direction, although this road should have been cleared by people, especially the Feng family, but ...... I hope there's something missing, right?

Yuan Che.

Yuan Che, since the announcement of the Qing Yun recipe more than 100 years ago, has been honored by many monks in the Kyushu continent as "Yuan Che Zhenjun". Yuan Che is a casual cultivator whose talent can only be regarded as middle and upper-middle, and he has no big family background, nor does he have any prominent teachers, but he is smart and sleek, and it is easy to win people's favor. After the announcement of the Qingyun Formula, Yuan Che was very sought after, and then gave up the opportunity to rely on the Qingyun Recipe to attract talents to form a force, and turned to the Feng family among the four major families, in order to seek the best resources and the most manpower and material resources, and develop the Qingyun Pill that made the practitioners need to be prepared because of the slight flaw in the Qingyun Formula, which erased the concerns of people who damaged the meridians caused by the minor cultivation of the Qingyun Formula, although he was no longer as free as in the past because of his dedication to the Feng family, and also cut off the hope of forming his own forces to reach the top, but because of this, he gained the respect and gratitude of more people, and his prestige was further improved a lot。

Yuan Che is now in the Feng family in Zhongzhou, Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan naturally will not venture there, so they plan to go to another place to find clues first, this place is Yuan Che "created" the Qing Yun recipe and announced, Xiangcheng, Chenzhou.

Seeing that the families were approaching to come to Loucheng, Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, who had a plan, were not ready to stay in Loucheng for longer, and planned to leave Loucheng and go to Xiangcheng to continue looking for clues.

Before leaving, they went to say goodbye to their friend Lu Yan, who they had met in Loucheng.

Lu Yan was also very happy to see Xiao Luo and Xue Yun come to the door, and he was not surprised by the resignation of the two.

"Brother Xiao, Sister Xue, I know that you still have things to do, most of them...... It's a little bit related to what I said two days ago. I'm here, replacing wine with tea, and I wish you ...... Everything went well, and there was a good one. ”

Xiao Luo and Xue Yun smiled and raised the cup in front of them and drank it happily.

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows at Lu Yan and smiled: "Loucheng and his party, it is the luck of the two of us to get to know Brother Lu. ”

Xue Yun also nodded: "Yes, these days, Brother Domeng Lu has taken care of it." ”

Lu Yan waved his hand: "Since you recognize me as a friend, don't be so polite." Besides......"

"Brother Lu?"

Lu Yan sighed: "Although I don't know what you want to find out and what you want to do in the end, ...... Now that you have the courage to continue to pursue that incident, it is enough to impress me, and ...... I'm ashamed very much. ”

Xue Yun shook his head: "Brother Lu is willing to take the risk to tell us about this, and he is already very courageous. Brother Lu's words from his friend surnamed Shangguan back then, Brother Lu has always kept in mind. ”

Xiao Luo also spoke: "Brother Lu is different from us, your parents and relatives are in Cangzhou, you have a small property and a comfortable life, you have your concerns." If you really can't help but be at this point...... What did you do, forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of Brother Lu, with Brother Lu's strength, connections and background, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, maybe it won't even make a splash, but it will harm the lives of relatives and friends, and it will not be ...... at all I can't really help Brother Lu's friend surnamed Shangguan. In this case, why not outweigh the losses?"

Xue Yun turned her head sideways and glanced at Xiao Luo when she heard this, and couldn't help but think of what Xiao Luo said to her father Xue Yu the day before, pursed her lips and fell silent.

Lu Yan hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "Even if you say that...... Oh, why not be ashamed...... However, even though I was upset, I never regretted doing it myself. I can't afford to be impulsive, even though I know it's against morality and heart, but I really can't...... Affect my family and friends. I'm just a cowardly layman, am I?"

Xiao Luo shook his head: "Even if Brother Lu has the ability to give it a try, it is not wrong to still choose to put his family and friends first, not to mention that now, he knows that he can't do it? ”

"Brother Xiao overestimated me, I ...... After all, I have received the favor of Brother Shangguan and the benefits of the true pure essence, and I must repay the kindness, and now this little bit is nothing compared to the favor I have received?" Lu Yan said, let out a long sigh, and shook his head: "That's it, don't talk about this...... Brother Xiao and Sister Xue, can you go to Xiangcheng?"

Knowing the involvement of Qingyunjue and Shangguanjia and Yuan Che, it is not difficult to guess the destination of Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan's next stop.

Xiao Luo and Xue Yun didn't deny it, and nodded towards Lu Yan.

"Xiangcheng is the place where Yuan Che lived for many years, and his Qingyun secret was also made public there, and almost everyone knows this. So...... In the past many years, even if there were some clues or old people there, they have probably been cleaned up. I'm also talking too much, Brother Xiao and Sister Xue, maybe you can ...... Try to find out how to see that the secret was announced before staying in the building, and then moved away and escaped the ...... of people. ”

Xiao Luo's eyes flashed, smiled and raised his glass: "Brother Xie Lu reminds." ”

Xue Yun nodded, but remembered in his heart that when he decided to go to Xiangcheng the day before, Xiao Luo ...... That's how it was intended.

In order to protect Yuan Che, in addition to Yuan Che himself, the Feng family must have cleaned up a lot of human and physical evidence about the truth, and all they could hope to find were the people and clues who escaped this catastrophe in the first few years of the most tense situation.

Coming out of Lu Yan's residence and on the way back to the inn, Xiao Luo couldn't help but sigh at Xue Yuan:

"Brother Lu...... In fact, he is a much smarter and more transparent person than we think. ”

The most rare thing is probably that he is kind-hearted, upright and persistent, but he is not impulsive, knows how to hibernate and knows how to wait.

If it's not limited by talent...... Lu Yan's achievements must be limitless.

Chenzhou, Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng, as the center of Chenzhou, is naturally much more prosperous than the building city that can only be lively once a year because of those two special medicinal materials.

Xiangcheng can be regarded as the place where Yuan Che made his career because of the Qing Yun Jue, although he had been prepared, but Xue Yuan, who came here for the first time, was still a little surprised when he saw a lot of merit cards set up for the Yuan Che True Monarch in the city for people to pay homage to and worship.

In the same territory of Chenzhou, compared with Loucheng, which is no different from other places, many places in Xiangcheng have the shadow of Yuanche's "great shore and selflessness", and this Yuanche Zhenjun is the pride of Xiangcheng and even the entire Chenzhou.

Naturally, if it weren't for knowing the existence of the true version of the Qingyun Recipe and the Shangguan Family, and having doubts about Yuan Che and Yuan Che's Qingyun Jue, Xue Yuan would not have expressed surprise at this situation, but would probably feel that it should be taken for granted like everyone else.

It's just that nowadays......

Xiao Luo and Xue Yun temporarily settled down in Xiangcheng.

When they were in Loucheng, because of the consideration of the people from the various families who would gather in Loucheng soon to purchase medicinal materials, Xiao Luo and Xue Yun didn't plan to stay in Loucheng for too long at first, so they temporarily stayed at the inn. And now that they have come to Xiangcheng, firstly, there is no urgent need to dodge, and secondly, it is difficult to find clues in Xiangcheng that have escaped the former Feng family and Yuan Che a hundred years ago, and I am afraid it will be more time-consuming, so the two of them found a small courtyard with a protective enchantment to rent.

This is also the first time Xue Yuan has lived in this kind of house, which will be found in various towns for casual cultivators who come here to repair or cultivate, a few rooms, a little cheap and common elixir is planted in the courtyard, and the lowest and most basic spirit gathering array is arranged, and there is an enchantment outside the house that requires a specific talisman to enter, the level of the enchantment is not high, and it can't carry anything, but it can be used in a city that has always been peaceful and few people cause trouble.

Naturally, this is also because the small courtyard that the two of them rent is relatively cheap, in fact, as long as they can afford the price, they can go to the shop to which the Treasure Pavilion belongs, and the high-level spirit gathering array arranged with high-grade spirit stones and the protective enchantment that can resist the siege of many Yuan Infant Cultivators have rent. Let's not talk about the number of spirit stones in the hands of the two, but that is too attention-grabbing is not suitable for Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, who need to look for clues in a low-key manner.

Staying in the small courtyard rented in Xiangcheng and repairing it for one night, Xue Yuan walked out of the door the next morning and smelled a familiar fragrance.

On a stone table under the willow tree in the courtyard is a steaming and fragrant breakfast.

Congee, side dishes, soup dumplings.

Xiao Luo was not in the courtyard, Xue Yuan looked left and right and saw that he didn't see Xiao Luo's figure, so he walked to the stone table first.

In the past, he was in a hurry on the shuttle and naturally ate simply, and sometimes he even served Bigu Dan directly, and when he was in the city, the inn where the two lived was mostly looking for something to eat outside. Now goodbye to Xiao Luo's craftsmanship, it is ...... Some nostalgia.

At that time, she was still her father's pampered palm bead, and often followed her father to live in the valley where Uncle Xiao lived in seclusion.

In that valley, she witnessed the whole process of Xiao Luo's cooking skills, from not being able to distinguish sugar, salt, flour and alkali to being able to achieve both color and flavor. Some of her favorite dishes and snacks are exactly what he has practiced the most.

Like what...... The soup dumplings in front of you.

It was the first time she was taken by him to sneak around the town, and when she was tired and hungry at the roadside stall, the first time she ate a small soup dumpling that was completely different from what she could eat on the Xue family's table. She still remembered that she didn't eat the soup dumplings she never forgot at that time, and even cried aggrievedly.

She doesn't remember how Xiao Luo coaxed her at that time, but she ......

Looking back now, when Xiao Luo studied cooking skills and made it look like a little bit and served it in front of him, the first food was soup dumplings.
