Earlier, at the time of the destruction of the Qianwu Gate, the Xianjian Hall on the southern front was still unaware of everything that happened in the Broken Intestine Valley, and was still in a calm and regular marching state.

The road from Nanying to Liushaping was not smooth, not suitable for horseback marching, Zhu Shihua led three hundred disciples to walk north without hurrying, Zhu Yafeng walked in the front, followed by Chen Shuqing and Gu Changping, then Zhu Shihua, and then three hundred ordinary disciples in gray battle suits, carrying dismantled tents and forty or so small-leaf red sandalwood cages of different sizes in their hands.

The sun is shining all the way, the spring is full of joy, the small-leaved red bean trees rustle in the wind, and there are birds squeaking and flying in the sky from time to time, but they are just ordinary birds such as chickadees and white pheasants, not monsters, but they make the valley look full of vitality, if it weren't for the stone monster that can create ghosts and walls in the valley with Pu Zixuan, Chen Shuqing couldn't believe that this valley was actually a place where monsters were messing around.

But for others, coming here during the New Year's Season and not meeting a monster is contrary to years of common sense, causing a long line of whispers.

Chen Shuqing had nothing to do, and asked Zhu Yafeng if she had something to say: "Senior Brother Feng, if it were in previous years, we had been gone for about two hours, how many monsters should you have encountered?" ”

Perhaps in Zhu Yafeng's eyes, Chen Shuqing is Pu Zixuan's old friend, and he looks at the surname Pu horizontally and vertically, and a beauty takes the initiative to talk to him, so he doesn't care about taking a second look, and responds lukewarmly: "It's hard to say, three or five, ten or so, who has nothing to do with this?" ”

Chen Shuqing asked kindly: "Then, the scenery here is so pleasant, why has it become a place where monsters emerge endlessly?" But where all things are demonized, they must go through thousands of tempers, and it is rare to have occasional changes, how can they be so intensively demonized every year? It's really hard to figure out. ”

Zhu Yafeng still kept his eyes forward, and continued to respond lukewarmly: "Cut, we are all businessmen, not scholars, as long as we know that there are monsters to capture every year, and there is silver to earn, why do you care so much?" ”

Chen Shuqing continued to put her hot face on her cold buttocks, she couldn't please her, she felt stuffy in her heart, spit out sullen self-deprecatingly, and didn't talk more.

is also a senior brother, but Gu Changping on the side did not have the arrogance of Zhu Yafeng at all, and when he saw Chen Shuqing open the chatterbox, he suddenly became interested, and took the initiative to ask: "Hehe, Miss Shuqing, do you want to know the answer to this question?" ”

Chen Shuqing was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I'm not curious at all, that's fake." If Senior Brother Gu has some information, you may wish to share it. ”

Zhu Yafeng glanced at Gu Xiangping with slanted eyes, feeling that the courteous appearance was unpleasant, but it was inconvenient, and he suddenly felt that his face was dull and he didn't say a word.

Gu Changping didn't care about this, and explained carefully: "Why is this canyon called the Broken Intestine Valley, but it has a great origin. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, there was a powerful purification messenger, who was supposed to take it as his mission to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but he was not interested in this cause, and his only hobby was just to desperately cultivate his purification power, hoping to reach the peak of the realm, but no matter how he cultivated, surpassing one master after another, there was always an insurmountable mountain in front of him, that was the most powerful purification messenger in history, Pu Songling, a resident of Liuquan......"

As soon as she heard Pu Songling's name, Chen Shuqing suddenly didn't care about the etiquette, suddenly interrupted Gu Changping, and said loudly: "What, you still have something to do with Mr. Pu Songling?" ”

Gu Changpingwei

Expecting Chen Shuqing to have such a big reaction, she was stunned at first, and then reacted: "Oh, yes, yes, I forgot, Miss Shuqing is Pu Songling's adopted daughter, and your companion Pu Zixuan is also Pu Songling's descendant!" ”

Chen Shuqing said: "As soon as you say this, I am even more interested, who is that purification messenger?" What happened? ”

Gu Changping cleared his throat and continued: "It's all just legends, who is that person's surname, I really haven't heard anyone talk about it, I only know that in order to avoid monster harassment, he has long chosen to cultivate in this canyon, and then every few years, he will go from Guangxi to Shandong to find Pu Songling to learn martial arts, hoping to defeat Pu Songling, in order to prove that he is the world's first purification messenger, and he has no choice but to challenge for more than 20 years, and he is not Pu Songling's opponent...... Speaking of which, I also want to ask Miss Shuqing, in those years, was there such a person who would appear in Pujiazhuang every few years? If the rumors are true, you must have seen him. ”

"Yes!" Chen Shuqing replied without thinking about it, "In view of the fact that Mr. is so prominent, in those years, there were indeed purification messengers from all over the world, and after hearing Mr. Da's name, he appeared in Pujiazhuang from time to time to challenge Mr., but they all returned. I also asked my husband where they were sacred, and he always smiled and said casually that the purification envoys of the world are all friends, so I can't name many people, and as for whether they are from Guangxi, I don't know. ”

Gu Changping said: "Since this is the case, then I don't care about his name for now." Anyway, legend has it that after he was depressed, he returned to Guangxi in May of a certain year, thinking that his lifelong pursuit could not be realized after all, he suddenly felt that there was no love in life, and his liver and intestines were broken, and he committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, so from then on, this ordinary canyon had a name, called Broken Intestine Valley. And this person's purification power has been cultivated to the point where it is second only to Pu Songling, and because he is too persistent, it is combined with his resentment to form a powerful evil qi, and those evil qi cannot escape from this small leaf red bean forest, so it has become a fertile ground for monsters to breed. I don't know if this legend is true or not......"

Chen Shuqing suddenly remembered what the old man Ma Fu said: "I heard that there is a strange law there: since more than 100 years ago, after the New Year every year, some monsters will breed one after another......"

Isn't this "more than 100 years ago" the era of Mr. Pu Songling?

The time is highly consistent, and Chen Shuqing said: "I think it's true, Mr. Pu Songling died about one hundred and fifty years ago, and the time when he became a purification messenger can be pushed forward by about forty years, that is to say, the time of this person's death was about one hundred and sixty or seventy years ago, and it was at that time that this law began to appear in the Valley of Broken Intestines, and in the next hundred years, our four major demon sects were gradually formed." ”

Gu Changping sighed: "In this way, just as water can nourish all things, and evil qi can also nourish all things, this will far accelerate the process of demonization of all things...... It is a pity that a purification messenger has brought such bad luck to the world! ”

Zhu Shihua squinted behind the two of them, listening without saying a word, of course he was already familiar with this legend, but seeing Gu Changping's indignant appearance, he couldn't help but interject: "What's the pity? And what's so sad? If there are no monsters to capture, how can the brothers have such a good life? Well, don't talk about it, the destination has arrived. ”

During the conversation, the team had walked down another hill, only to see a huge flat land appear in front of them, and the vision suddenly opened up, and a bunch of people dressed in black clothes stopped at the other end of the flat ground - it was none other than Guilin Yongshengmen, who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhu Shihua came from behind Chen Shuqing

walked to the front of the team and walked towards the other party, only to see three men in brocade standing at the front of the team on the opposite side, which were He Tianao, the head of the Eternal Life Sect, and his two purification messengers - Lin Huinan and Xu Qing'an.

The two sides were close to each other, and Zhu Shihua saw that the other party, as the leader of the alliance, had arrived before him, and he had been waiting for a long time, so he felt a little uncomfortable, quickened his pace, and arched his hand: "The old man is late, so he has been waiting for a long time." ”

"What did Hall Master Zhu say, we just arrived." He Tianao glanced at Zhu Yafeng and Chen Shuqing beside Zhu Shihua, judging from the position, he understood that these two people were capable people under the Immortal Sword Hall, he was slightly stunned, and asked: "I heard that Guitang has accepted a new disciple this year, called Pu Zixuan, I don't know where I am?" ”

As soon as Zhu Shihua heard this, he knew what He Tianao cared about, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Hehe, we did accept a purification messenger named Pu Zixuan, but it is not a love disciple, but it is just a temporary disciple, and he is about to leave when the year is over." At present, although the other person is in the Broken Intestine Valley, he has some other things to do, and he is on the way to come, and Master He will see him later. ”

He Tian sighed proudly: "Alas, I want to see what kind of charm this kid has, so that my daughter is so fascinated by him!" However, Master Zhu can rest assured, as far as my investigation is concerned, Pu Zixuan is not at fault in the matter of Xichen, but it is Xichen's wishful thinking, and he was calculated by Qin Yong's old thief, and he was directly victimized by the two villains, so I just want to talk to Pu Zixuan, and I will not embarrass him. ”

When Chen Shuqing on the side heard this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This He Tianao lost his beloved daughter, and he was extremely sad, but he had clear grievances and grievances, and he knew in his heart that the tragedy was not Pu Zixuan's fault, and he was worthy of being a person who understood righteousness and was admirable. However, it seems that he only knows that the mastermind behind the scenes is Qin Yong, and he doesn't know the drought, since this is the case, let everyone have the same goal to fight against Qin Yong, and it is better not to mention the drought for the time being.

Thinking of this, Chen Shuqing bowed and said: "Master He, Xichen died to save Shuqing, for this great kindness, Shuqing will always remember it, and I also hope to contribute to the early capture of Qin Yong. ”

He Tianao looked Chen Shuqing up and down, smiled sadly, shook his head and said: "Alas, if Xichen grows up, it must be a girl like a flower." That's it, maybe I'm so proud......"

Zhu Shihua saw that He Tianao took the initiative to be indifferent to the sensitive topic, and immediately took the opportunity to change the topic and said: "I don't know what happened in the Broken Intestine Valley this year, the pattern is completely different from previous years, and so far, not a single monster has appeared!" If the curse of the Broken Gut Valley has been lifted, and there will be no monsters after this year, won't we be cut off from the financial route? I wonder if the boss knows why? ”

Master He shook his head and said, "To be honest, we are also confused. ”

Zhu Shihua asked again: "Then, why did Master He invite Feishu to come here to discuss matters in Liushaping today?" ”

When He Tianao heard this, he frowned suddenly: "What? Didn't your parish send us a letter this morning, inviting us to meet here, saying that we had something important to discuss? ”

"This ......" Zhu Shihua was even more inexplicable, glanced at Zhu Yafeng, and saw that Zhu Yafeng was also at a loss, so he said, "Feng'er, you take the letter from the morning and take a look." ”

Zhu Yafeng took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Shihua, who unfolded it and displayed it in front of He Tianao.

He Tianao read the letter, and suddenly became uneasy: "This ...... Indeed, this is my handwriting, but I swear to God that I have never written this letter! ”
