Chapter 175: What Happened

Yan'er's coffin had already been moved out of the second mountain room and placed in the corridor of the cave stone in a regular manner, making the already not spacious corridor even narrower.

A small bouquet of flowers was neatly placed on the lid of the coffin, which Shi An had just picked up and presented to this flower-loving girl, and he would go out every two days to pick some and come back, except for the more than two years that Xi Luyang had been trapped.

Shi An squatted in front of the coffin, and through the transparent lid of the coffin, he could see that Yan'er's body in the coffin was still moist, and she was as quiet as if she was sleeping, and there was still a faint smile on her face.

"It's going to be five years soon. Shi An sighed softly.

Yes, Yan'er has been gone for almost five years. Although it is said that time is the best medicine to dilute the scars in his heart, in fact, the pain in Shi An's heart has not diminished at all in the past five years, but has become heavier and heavier with the passage of time.

He also experienced the death of his master and mother, who treated him like a child, and he was also grief-stricken, but that grief could be suppressed. After all, they are all young, and they have all had wonderful and rich life experiences, and sooner or later they will have to experience the last stop of their lives - death. Therefore, for Shi An, the death of the second elder was something he could think of in advance, although it was emotionally difficult to accept, but intellectually he could still face the facts.

Yan'er is different, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, life has not really begun, and she has withered before she even tastes the ups and downs of life, and she is still the person Shi An cares about the most. He had imagined countless times that it was just a dream, and when the door of the hut by the lake was pushed open, he could still see the smiling face hidden behind the flowers, and the petite body lying on his stomach.

Therefore, in the initial period of time, Shi An had to practice hard to gain a moment of peace in his heart when he meditated, and once he made up his mind, his mind was all occupied by Yan'er.

"Yan'er, your soul has been taken away by my mother, she should be able to help you come back to life, and I will say sorry to you when then. Shi An lowered his head and muttered.

At this moment, a light cough interrupted his thoughts, and Shi An turned around to see Hai Ying's complexion that had greatly improved.

"Master, people can't be resurrected after death, and I ask you to mourn. Although Hai Ying couldn't figure out who was lying in the coffin, she could still guess a thing or two from Shi An's sad expression.

Shi An stood up, calmed down and said, "Hai Ying, although you recognize me as the master, I still have some secrets of my own that need to be kept, don't take this to heart, let's sit down and talk." ”

With that, he reached out and summoned two futons from the innermost corner of the hallway and placed them on the ground in front of them, instead of inviting Sakura into the mountain room to sit down at the stone table.

"Can you talk about it now?" Shi An stretched out his hand to the sea cherry and made a gesture to sit down, and sat on the futon himself.

After Hai Ying waited for Shi An to sit down, she leaned over and sat down and said, "Master, it's a long story, let the slave and maid tell you slowly." ”

"My fifth ancestor is called Haihe, and he was originally the lord of Wuluo Castle, and this Wuluo Fort is now Wuluo Fort. Four thousand years ago, when the ancestor of the sect founded the sect, the name was Wuluo Castle, he was the lord of the castle for 200 years, and then he left Yunyou, and when he left, he made a series of rules: there are no disciples in the fort, as long as anyone reaches the Yuan infant stage, he must enter a secret room left by him, and the secret room has an arrangement for the disciples of the Yuan Infant, and the disciples must obey. This is one of them;"

"The second is that the replacement of the castle lord uses the Zen concession system, the previous castle lord is married, or dies, the next castle lord is elected by the elders, and there is also a situation, that is, there is an elder in the infant period, and he can also directly elect the next castle lord, but in the past four thousand years, this situation has never appeared. In addition, no matter who becomes the lord of the castle, the first thing to do is to change the surname to 'Hai', which is the origin of my family's surname Hai. ”

"The third rule is that his old man also left another secret room for the previous castle masters, and the same secret room left for the Yuanying monk, there is also a jade key, these two jade keys are usually in the hands of the castle master, the castle owner can enter and exit the castle master's secret room at any time, and the jade key of the Yuanying secret room he can only keep, and can not enter, even if the Yuanying monk appears, he can only give the jade key to the Yuanying monk, and he is not allowed to enter the ......"

Shi An's heart moved when he heard this, this is too similar to the rules of the sect of the Four Elephants, the method that the Yuanying disciples must leave, the method of changing the sect master, and the fact that the sect master and the Yuanying disciples each have a secret room, etc., but the matter of the sect master changing his surname is not in the Four Elephants, but there are also rules for disciples to change the first word of the Dao number with the improvement of the realm, which further proves that the relationship between the two sects is different.

Kai Sakura continued, "More than five hundred years ago, my fifth ancestor was elected as the seventeenth lord of the castle, and according to what he later handed down to my family, there were many disciples in that generation, a total of eleven people. Among them, there is a pair of sisters and brothers surnamed Wu, who I don't know who instigated them, and privately colluded with many elders in a vain attempt to usurp the position of the castle lord. One of the elders had a good personal relationship with my Fifth Ancestor, but no one knew about it, and he was the last to learn about it. Because he strongly opposed this, he was imprisoned by the Wu sisters and brothers. On the day of the civil strife, he did not hesitate to harm the Taoist, used secret methods to release the confinement, and reported the situation to the fifth ancestor. But at that time, it was too late to organize the resistance of the forces, and my fifth ancestor had to flee with the man. ”

"When I left, my Fifth Ancestor only had time to take the jade key of the castle master and some of the items in the secret room, and fled to Xinyi Country overnight, and the elder died halfway through. After arriving in Xinyi Kingdom, my fifth ancestor no longer dared to call the relatively rare sea surname, but restored the original surname to the surname Shi, which is the origin of my name Shi Ying. However, since then, my family has never forgotten that I was originally the lord of the Fogfall Castle, and this sea surname has also been passed down, although I only dare to call it in my heart. ”

"What's the point with calling me master?" asked Shi An.

"That's when it comes to the contents of the castle's main chamber. When the fifth ancestor fled, he only brought out a few items, one was a painting scroll, which painted a portrait of the ancestor, and one item was a jade slip, which recorded a mental method that was not in the Fog Falling Castle, called "The Foggy Sea Journey", and the "Fog Falling Heart Method" that could be cultivated to the consummation of the knot, and the other things were not found in a hurry when they left. One hundred years after the fifth ancestor formed a family in the Xinyi Kingdom, he died after leaving a family legacy. There is a passage left in the family inheritance, which is that the ancestor once said that maybe after thousands of years, there is a person who looks very similar to him, whose surname is Shi or Hai, and who understands the yin and yang spells of the five elements, then the entire Wuluo Castle will be the master of him. I happen to have a water spirit root in my spiritual root, so I also learned the "Foggy Sea Practice", so I was able to cast that yin and yang water lotus, and then I saw that your three conditions were met, and then I decided that you were the master that the ancestor said. ”

Shi An suddenly realized that this was the result of his similar face to that of Wu Luobao's ancestor.

"Then how did you get caught by Wu Luobao?" Shi An asked again.
