029 The corpse in the inn.
The next day, at the Yunzhong Disciple Acceptance Conference, Lin Qingfeng announced to everyone, "Last night, Zhao Cheng broke into the Yunzhong Forbidden Building privately, almost causing a big disaster, although he is not a disciple in the clouds, but he must not be tolerated if he commits such a big mistake, in this regard, Yunzhong finally decided to remove Zhao Cheng's name at the disciple collection conference this time, and he will not be allowed to enter the clouds again for the rest of his life." As for what he did to break into the forbidden building, what disaster he almost caused, and what other people he had, Lin Qingfeng didn't say a word. It's just that a few days after the Cloud Acceptance Conference that year, Ming Haoqi and Mo Han never appeared at the conference again.
According to rumors, that year, Mo Han was locked up in the library for a whole year for violating the taboo in the clouds, copying scriptures, and never left the clouds for half a step. And in the same year, Ming Haoqi didn't know why, she stayed in the clouds for a whole year, and she didn't go out either.
So much happened in the clouds that year that no one knew that after that night, there was a man who had also not appeared at the gathering in the clouds, and no one knew where he had gone, and even at that time, few people knew him. How sensational Zhao Cheng's removal from the conference was, how quietly he disappeared.
The longer the memory, the more profound it is, Ming Haoqi covered the sadness in her eyes without a trace, and looked at the high-spirited young man in the distance again, before he could speak, he only heard a leisurely voice in the audience speak, "This is simple, if you want to know, you can force one to try, I'm afraid you won't have that ability at that time!" ”
Chen Tao turned his head to look at the person who spoke, at this time, he also recognized Yan Jin in the crowd not far away, thinking of yesterday's restaurant, Chen Tao couldn't help but be angry, "You ......", the words that exposed Yan Jin's secret collusion with Yunzhong just came to his mouth, he thought about it, now he has no evidence, and no one will believe him if he says anything, so he can only stare at Yan Jin viciously, and said coldly, "You kid wait for me, let's see." ”
After Zhong Yang heard Yan Jin's words, his heart was shocked, and the incomparable expression when Mo Han said this in his memory slowly emerged, and the expression of the person in front of him at this time was the same as Mo Han at that time, and even the disdainful tone was the same, for a moment, Zhong Yang even thought that the person he saw was Mo Han.
Zhong Yang stared at Yan Jin for a long time, and it wasn't until everyone came to the Xuanxiao Dan Platform that Ye Xingchen stepped forward and lit the guiding incense, and he slowly withdrew his gaze.
Ming Haoqi also noticed Zhong Yang's strange gaze, but he didn't stop it, this is something that will be known sooner or later, it's just a matter of time, besides, for these, Ming Haoqi has never cared, what he really cares about is only that one person from beginning to end.
Yan Jin was busy cheering for Liu Yihao, and didn't notice Zhong Yang's meaningful gaze at him.
In the evening, Yan Jin specially found a luxurious restaurant and booked a private room, which was called to celebrate Liu Yihao's successful passage of the first pass of the apprenticeship conference.
During the meal, Liu Yihao suddenly said to Yan Jin mysteriously, "Brother Su, do you know whose name I saw on Zhen Xianshi today?" ”
Yan Jin just took a sip of the wine in the glass, and was pondering how the taste of this wine was so light, why it was not as good as the old man's return, and suddenly heard Liu Yihao ask, so he replied casually, "Who?" Ming Haoqi? ”
After Liu Yihao heard this, he shook his head, and then looked at Yan Nian and Tian Xin with anticipation. Yan Nian didn't want to guess, so he lowered his head and didn't look at him, but Tian Xin looked at Yan Jin hesitantly, and stopped talking.
"Guess what? Tian Xin, you say. Liu Yihao was on the rise, how could he stop there, and he looked at Tian Xin's appearance, as if he knew something, so he asked directly by name.
"Ink... Mo Han? Although it was just two simple words, Tian Xin said it very laboriously and carefully, as if he had some scruples and didn't dare to say it.
This is the second time that Yan Jin has heard the name Mo Han since he came to Yunzhong, and Chen Tao seems to have mentioned this person yesterday. In Yan Jin's memory, of course he didn't know any Mo Han, but in Su Zimu's memory, he had such an impression of this person, probably this Mo Han was also a disciple of Yunzhong more than 300 years ago, and then he killed a lot of people for some reason, anyway, he was dead more than 300 years ago.
In the first twenty years of Su Zimu's life, he was busy with how he could eat a full meal and how to live well, and he was not interested in these streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns at all.
Liu Yihao looked at Tian Xin and said excitedly, "It's him, of course, I also saw Uncle Ming's name, but if you want to say whose name is the brightest, Mo Han is still slightly better." ”
Yan Jin also heard about the reason for the brightness and dimming of the name on Zhen Xianshi at the conference today, and at this time she became interested and asked curiously, "Who is this Mo Han?" Isn't he a disciple in the clouds? Is it so unusual to see his name? In other words, is his name really brighter than Ming Haoqi's? ”
Liu Yihao looked at Yan Jin in surprise and said, "Brother Su, you have come to the clouds, but you don't even know Mo Han?" ”
Yan Jin came to Yunzhong only because Su Zimu was coming, and he was just making a fuss, for Liu Yihao's fuss, Yan Jin said indifferently, "What, should I know him?" Is he famous? ”
When Liu Yihao heard that Yan Jin didn't know Mo Han, he told Yan Jin a lot of rumors that he had heard in the street teahouse about Mo Han returning to slaughter the city after becoming the ghost master, and then he was jointly surrounded and suppressed by the world's immortal cultivators, and finally the rumors that his soul was scattered crackled a lot to Yan Jin. During this period, Yan Nian and Tian Xin kept bowing their heads and not saying anything, but since Liu Yihao started speaking, Yan Nian's face has been gloomy, his brows are tightly locked, and Tian Xin's face is also not good.
After Liu Yihao finished saying the last word, he licked his dry lips, picked up the teacup in front of him, drank a large sip of water, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Of course, these are also passed on by everyone, no one knows whether it is true or false, and it is estimated that only Mo Han himself knows all the truth, but he has already died, and no one knows where he is now." ”
In fact, what Liu Yihao said is very reasonable, like how Mo Han became the ghost master, and why those ghosts are willing to listen to him, how can he be so powerful and how can his soul fly away, and many other things are not known, and many of these estimates are also deliberately added by the storyteller in order to enhance the atmosphere.
It's just that when Yan Jin heard Liu Yihao talk about certain places just now, he always felt weird, as if he had the same experience himself, or as if he had heard someone mention it, in short, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
However, he didn't pay attention to these words, maybe Su Zimu had heard it and forgotten it.
Liu Yihao said just now that after Mo Han became the ghost master, he had a bell named Tianxia tied to his wrist, and it was this bell that could command hundreds of ghosts, but Yan Jin was not concerned about this bell at this time, but the thread that tied the bell.
Yan Jin subconsciously touched his chest, where he was wearing a bead, and the thread that tied this bead was the thread that Liu Yihao had just mentioned - the soul rope, and he gave it to Yan Jin in Guo Cheng Ming Haoqi.
"Yihao, more than three hundred years ago, did the soul rope really disappear from the world?" Yan Jin didn't seem to care, but she looked at Liu Yihao very nervously.
Liu Yihao was stunned at first when Yan Jin asked such a clueless question, but after understanding what he was asking, he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, no one has ever seen it again anyway, and I haven't heard anyone mention it again." After finishing speaking, Liu Yihao seemed to think of something again, only to see him think carefully and say, "By the way, it is said that there is something else, it seems to be called time and space leakage, yes, it is time and space leakage, and that has disappeared since then." ”
"Ming Haoqi must know what the hell is going on, and I must find time to ask him another day."
Yan Jin was bent on going to Ming Haoqi to figure out this soul-bound matter, but she missed the second half of Liu Yihao's words.
It's just that when Tian Xin heard the words "time and space leakage", he unconsciously glanced at Yan Jin, saw that he didn't care at all, and then hurriedly lowered his head, his face changed, but his eyes were slightly moist.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Yan Jin was woken up by the sound of talking outside, he put on his clothes and pushed open the door to see the back of Ye Xingchen hurriedly walking past his door, and there was another person in front of him, it was Ming Haoqi. The two walked quickly, Yan Jin hurriedly went back to get dressed, and followed Yan Nian and Liu Yihao, who also heard the voice.
Ming Haoqi and Ye Xingchen came directly to an inn in the clouds, Zhong Yang and a few disciples in the clouds had already come to the inn first, and they were looking around at the room in front of them at this time.
Ming Haoqi glanced at the person lying on the ground, frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ye Xingchen hurriedly explained beside him, "Third Uncle, it's like this, before dawn this morning, someone came to Budu in a panic and said that there was a person dead in their inn, and the deceased was a person who came to Yunzhong to participate in this disciple conference. ”
Ming Haoqi looked around, all the items were neatly arranged, and there was no trace of a fight, so he asked, "Who found the body?" ”
At this moment, a shivering person came out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice, "It's me." ”
Zhong Yang had already learned a little about the situation earlier, so he said, "He is a guy from this inn, he came to knock on the door at the beginning of this morning and found that no one answered in the room, and when he opened the door, he saw this person lying on the ground like now, and he was dead at that time." ”
At this time, the fellow gradually recovered from the earlier fright, so he intermittently explained, "The boy who lives in this room suddenly came to me last night before going to bed, and gave me a piece of silver, saying that I should knock on his door this morning to wake him up, and he didn't tell me what the specific reason was, but just told me that I must wake him up." However, I, I was busy until late last night, and then I accidentally got up late this morning, and when I came, it was already midday, and I knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, and I was afraid that this boy would sleep too heavily to hear, so I opened the door, and he was lying on the ground like this, with a sword in his chest, and the man was dead, and I didn't touch anything in this room. ”
Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, Ye Xingchen said, "Huh", "Master, Third Uncle, isn't this the person who was at the apprenticeship meeting yesterday?" ”
