["Someone has been here, and they have specially carved the Chongshan stele. Why did that man do this?"]
The martial arts conference was in full swing, Chen Jian and the others had no mind to focus on the martial arts competition, and after learning the true face of Gu Dao Feixin, they realized even more that it was imminent to find the trace of the exterminator.
When Wulin was trying his best to investigate the case of Gujingmen, there was also movement on the other side.
Thousands of miles away from Wudang, in the Eagle Bird Valley, a man and a woman, the two of them are setting foot in this forest that no one has cared about for a long time.
The monument that symbolizes the Hundred Bitter Sect has been covered with green vines and moss, and there are traces of insects and wild beasts everywhere, and since the disappearance of the Hundred Bitter Sect, it has once again become a natural paradise, where all creatures inhabit.
The resting tiger spotted the two intruders and quickly raised his head, and Huang Cheng's eyes locked on the woman walking in front.
I don't know if it knows that there are warriors in this world who are difficult to defeat, maybe its ancestors once told the story of the past that was driven out and killed, in any case, no one visited it for many years to completely forget this, it is the overlord of the mountains, all creatures submit to it, and the same should be true of the two apes walking upright in front of them.
It slowly got up and strode towards the man and woman like an emperor.
Hua Lingyan is used to it.
She and her senior brother Ding Sheng, who is also the young master of the Ancient Mirror Gate, have been in the Eagle Sparrow Valley area for more than four days, and have faced the attacks of many beasts, but without exception, they all ended the farce with their defeat, and the tiger in front of them should be the most vicious beast they have encountered so far.
But so what?
Hua Lingyan let out a breath.
The tiger suddenly felt murderous, and it realized that the two animals walking on two legs in front of it were invulnerable.
The clever mountain overlord immediately prostrate on the ground, showing weakness to the two of them.
Hua Lingyan didn't even look at it, and walked straight towards the Eagle Bird Valley.
"Senior sister, look over there. ”
Ding Sheng pointed to the depths of the Eagle Bird Valley, where there were still many wooden houses, but none of them seemed intact, all of them had been worn down by the continuous drizzle.
Hua Lingyan performed light skills, and Ding Sheng immediately followed.
They landed on the edge of the house and went in to check on the situation.
"It looks like no one has been here. ”
Hua Lingyan touched the tabletop, there was dust on it, and some places were washed clean by the rainwater that fell into the house.
"I'll look elsewhere. ”
"Hmm. Ding Sheng immediately left for the next room.
Two hours passed, and they looked up and down hundreds of houses in Eagle Bird Valley, but still found no trace of people.
"Where have all those people from the Hundred Bitter Sect gone......" Hua Lingyan muttered to herself.
Three years ago, after the fall of the Thousand Hands Poisonous Girl to the Lonely Crane Peak, thousands of disciples of the Hundred Bitter Sect were also dismissed by Wudang, and they went their separate ways, some were imprisoned, and some were in the market, to Hua Lingyan's surprise, none of them returned here.
"Destroy the door...... Is it really the Hundred Bitter Sect that did it?"
Every time Ding Sheng thought of his father's charred corpse, his whole body trembled, and his brain boiled.
He constantly reminded himself: to take revenge, it is necessary to remain calm, his enemies are stronger than ever.
"The method of arson," Hua Lingyan said, "has appeared in Qianshan, and I heard that it has also appeared in the East China Sea." After disappearing for so many years, the reappearance of the unique exercises that only the disciples of the Hundred Bitter Sect know about are inseparable from the Hundred Bitter Sect in any case. There is also the child in Qianshan who looks like a thousand-handed poisonous girl. ”
"That kid, she's not—"
Ross's one-sided statement. Hua Lingyan neatly interrupted his hesitation.
"You mean, there's something wrong with Rose?"
"Isn't that guy's problem less? ”
She pushed open the half-closed window, and the fresh air immediately poured into the musty room, and the window creaked in the autumn wind, and the old wooden house seemed to collapse at any moment.
Outside the window is full of life, the joy of the birds will never stop, they sing from early morning to evening, and then from night to the next day, different kinds of birds add colorful music to this uninhabited world, Hua Lingyan can already judge the time through the birdsong.
"I acted in a hurry this time," Hua Lingyan blamed herself, "When I went to Wudang, I should have met Rose." ”
"It's okay, he won't go anywhere else. ”
"I hope so. She said uneasily.
Now that she thinks about it, she and Rose are only two sides to each other, and every time they meet, they think he is a strange person. If he lied about the Thousand Hands Poisonous Woman, what was his purpose......
In order to cover up the fact that the Hundred Bitter Sect has reappeared?
Ding Sheng looked at his junior sister's distressed appearance, and he couldn't help it. Gujingmen is his home, Hua Lingyan only worshiped his subordinates when she was young, but now she is working harder than herself to find the truth, is he worthy of his ancestors?
"I remember," he said, "that the Hundred Bitter Sect had a dark room where poisons and mental methods were stored. ”
"yes, but where is it?"
Hua Lingyan kept an eye on this matter all the way, but she didn't find a place like a dark room, nor did she find a similar passage.
"It has been mentioned by an elder, and it seems to be in the Chongshan Monument. ”
"Go over and see. ”
Hua Lingyan thought that the Chongshan Monument was just a landmark built by the Hundred Bitter Sect.
They soon came to the monument.
The whole body of the Chongshan stele is white jade, about the height of two people, the length and width are the same, they are both arm length, the bottom is a standard rectangle, and the shape of the mountain is slowly revealed when you go up, this is the mountain north of the Eagle Bird Valley, and then up is the highest peak of the North Mountain-
"This is?!"
Hua Lingyan stared at the mountain peak for a moment, and immediately turned her head to look at the north mountain.
This peak was not at all the same as the peak of the North Mountain!
Ding Sheng on the side also found a problem, and he exclaimed: "This is Lone Crane Peak!"
That's right, the most famous Beishan peak of the Chongshan Monument has been re-carved, and the Lone Crane Peak is the place where the thousand-handed poisonous girl fell. This mountain peak was carved vividly, and Hua Lingyan even felt that she had seen the tragic situation of a thousand-handed poisonous girl falling from the peak to the bottom of the valley.
The corpse killed by the sword of life and death fluttered like a feather, shuttling through the mist, pulling out a pale straight line, and with a bang, she became a pool of blood.
"How can this be?" Hua Lingyan shook her head violently, driving the illusion out of her head.
"Someone has been here, and they have specially carved the Chongshan stele. Why did that man do that?"
Ding Sheng carefully observed the traces of the mountain peaks.
The skill of the carvers is very strong, if it weren't for the fact that they knew Guhe Peak, they might not have thought that the Chongshan Monument had been tampered with.
Why exactly?
The doubts in Hua Lingyan's heart became bigger and bigger.
She slapped the Chongshan monument a few times.
"It looks hollow inside!" she shouted, "Senior brother, find the mechanism, this must be the entrance to the dark room!"
"I've found it!"
Ding Sheng rotated the wrench hidden in the gap between the steps, and with a loud crunch, a hole was vacant in the middle of the seemingly complete Chongshan Monument, Hua Lingyan probed in, and in front of her was a vertical shaft hole that could not be seen, and it was pitch black, and several spiders crawled away from her ears.
