There are some mysteries that cannot be solved.

Di Tong knew the attraction of the ancient ruins, so he naturally sent a lot of people to investigate, and even arranged a group of personnel to be stationed in Hanji Bay.

But the person is missing, and the clue is broken.

Even if you dig three feet into the ground, it is impossible to find clues from the vast sea.

The sea has no memory.

Ditong handed Lin Qingyue the map and turned to leave.

Since Lin Qingyue didn't mention anything more, it means that Lin Qingyue didn't take Wanli's matter to heart at all, and the Ten Killings Society would not cause trouble because of this.

Xing Yin walked out of the room, saw Lin Qingyue holding a map, examined it carefully, and couldn't help but approach and whispered: "I have also sent someone to check over there in Hanji Bay, and there is indeed no clue." ”

Lin Qingyue pointed to the map, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, and said: "Hanji Bay, a barren and inconspicuous bay, is now being concerned by the major forces of Xuanling, and there are no less than tens of thousands of people sent in the open and secretly, so it can be seen that there are still some mysteries here that have not yet been solved." ”

Xing Yin pulled over the chair, sat down, took the map from Lin Qingyue's hand, unfolded it, and said: "The timing of this matter is a little unfortunate, it coincides with the eve of the alchemy conference, and most of our strength has been transferred to Zhongdu, and when we react, everything has become a mystery." Although I have been exploring for two years, there is no result, as if the matter of the ancient ruins is just a wave, and when it comes out, it is gone. ”

Lin Qingyue got up and said softly: "I asked for a map for the Ten Killings, just to see if they have anything to do with the disappearance of fishermen." Now it seems that they are unaware. There is something strange about it, the ancient things suddenly appear, they are sold abruptly, and then they disappear abruptly, everything seems too abrupt, abrupt, as if it had been designed. ”

Xing Yin grinned, put down the map, and fiddled with Zhu Hai on the table with her fingers and said, "There's nothing to be abrupt about, right? Everything can be explained, after all, it is completely explainable that any force wants to monopolize the ancient ruins, and the fishermen are missing. ”

Lin Qingyue put her hand on Xing Yin's shoulder, leaned over and said, "Yes, what can be explained may not be the truth, I still want to see it for myself." ”

Xing Yin put a string of red beads on her white neck, looked in the mirror, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that there have been no auctions in the past few days, so I'll go with you." By the way, where is Changtian?"

Lin Qingyue smiled and said: "He went to deal with some trivial matters, don't worry about him, leave him a message, and he will find it." ”

Lin Qingyue walked into the room, looked at Liu Shaoqing and Song Chen, who were sitting at the table a little cramped, smiled gently, and said, "Why, knowing my identity, are you nervous? ”

Liu Shaoqing and Song Chen got up to salute, and were pressed on the stool by Xing Yin again.

Lin Qingyue poured three cups of tea, served them to the two of them, raised her glass and said, "Although the door master agreed, I still need to ask the two of you if you are willing to join the Heavenly Gate?"

Liu Shaoqing and Song Chen were stunned.

Liu Shaoqing stared at Shui Lingling's big eyes, and his hand grabbed the placket of his clothes uneasily, looking shocked. Song Chen was obviously dizzy, his eyes were full of small stars, and he didn't seem to understand what it meant.

"Speak. Xing Yin joked with a smile on the side.

Liu Shaoqing reacted and asked in a low voice, "The door master agreed?"

Lin Qingyue chuckled and said, "Haven't you seen him? You also ruined a meal for him, well, this Song Chen also invited him to a meal with a top-grade spirit stone." Forgot so quickly?"

Liu Shaoqing opened her small mouth, and the long night of her feelings was Ye Changtian!

Song Chen was shocked, he actually said that the master of the Heavenly Gate Gate was a hillbilly? Am I too kind! Thinking that he had followed Ye Changtian, he slapped his thigh violently, and shouted with grinning: "Damn, I have become the little brother of the master of the Heavenly Gate?"

Xing Yin arranged for Feng Window to send Liu Shaoqing and Song Chen to the Tianmen headquarters, followed Lin Qingyue to the coastal city of the South China Sea through the teleportation array, and then went all the way to the west, galloping hundreds of miles, and finally arrived at Hanji Bay.

From the air, Hanji Bay seems to be a long and skinny snake bone, the long and narrow body directly pounced into the deep sea, the trees on the mountain are relatively scarce, and the bare black and gray rocks can be seen in many places, and there are few decent buildings for more than 100 miles.

"Light Moon, Hanki Bay is different from other areas, the wind direction here is extremely changeable, when the monsoon comes, the wind is very strong, there are no mountains to cover here, and it goes deep into the sea, and occasionally it is flooded by the sea, so there are not many people here. However, to the east of Hanji Bay, there is a leeward and sunny town, called Hanji Town, and the fishermen who found ancient things are from Hanji Town. ”

Xing Yin pointed to the distance and introduced carefully.

Lin Qingyue looked at the long and narrow mountain range, and sighed: "Sister Xing, look at this mountain range, does it look like a snake trying to survive and want to run into the sea and turn into a dragon?"

Xing Yin replied with a smile: "It's true, but the people who have lived here for generations call this mountain 'Punishment Mountain', the punishment of punishment." ”

"Oh, that's interesting. Lin Qingyue smiled and flew with Xing Yin in the direction of Hanji Town.

"Yes, they think that this mountain is the beginning of barrenness, and that when the mountain is here, barrenness will never end. Most of the people here make a living from fishing, but they have very little harvest, plus the majority of mortals are monks, and their goods are sold very poorly, so they can only live a barely full life, but they have no extra spirit stones and opportunities to cultivate. Xing Yin introduced.

"It would be a bit biased to attribute the barrenness of a place to a mountain. If they are all complaining about the heavens, blaming foreign objects, not striving for survival, and not pursuing progress, even if they are given opportunities, they may not be able to grasp the ground. Lin Qingyue said.

The two fell into Hanji Town, Lin Qingyue glanced at it, her face was a little suspicious, and she turned her head to Xing Yin on the side and asked, "This is the barren fishing village you are talking about?"

From the west entrance, there is a high arch of a rainbow bridge, and the stream under the bridge is gurgling and crystal clear. Climb the Hongqiao to see, the east is a crescent-shaped freshwater lake, and on both sides of the crescent lake, there are rows of buildings, the architecture is exquisite, magnificent. To the north, there are inns and restaurants, and to the south, it resembles a market, specializing in selling all kinds of ingredients and seafood.

On the left and right, there are some courtyard-style buildings, which look like willow green and red, and the courtyard is deep and very attractive.

Xing Yin was also a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "I came here a year and a half ago, this is just a dilapidated small fishing village, at that time it was only a bamboo house, there were only 500 households, and some families only had thatched houses, this has changed too much......

Lin Qingyue smiled lightly and said, "Sister Xing, it seems that the news of the ancient ruins is spreading more and more, attracting many sect forces to enter, and then this place will be rebuilt. With the ability of a monk, it is still easy to transform a piece of land. ”

Xing Yin knew that it could only be this explanation.

Lin Qingyue and Xing Yin had just walked off the Hongqiao, and they were greeted by a dark-skinned woman wearing a square scarf.

"The two of you need a guide, I am most familiar with Hanji Town, my ancestors have been here for more than ten generations. The woman smiled diligently, with a thick local accent.

"Oh, I need an acquaintance. Lin Qingyue smiled and agreed.

"Then let me introduce it, do you want to talk while eating, there are thirty-six restaurants in Cambrian, each of which has its own specialty, do you want to eat something?"

"Now that you're at the beach, you still want to try seafood. ”

Lin Qingyue smiled slightly. Obviously, the so-called guide here is more like a solicitor, needless to say, as long as the two of them are brought to the restaurant and eat the food and drinks, the woman can get some income.

The smile on the woman's dark face became even stronger, and she led the way in front of her, and walked to a restaurant that was "unique in the sea", and after ordering the wine and food, the woman stood aside and asked Lin Qingyue and Xing Yin: "The two of you came to this Hanji Town to find the legendary ancient ruins, right?"

Lin Qingyue nodded slightly, what a woman knows, there is really no need to hide it.

"Hey, this ancient ruins are really uncertain, although in the past two years, everyone has been looking around, but they have not found any more ancient things, it seems that the previous discovery is just a gift from the sea. ”

"Can you tell us how the ancient ruins were discovered at that time?" Lin Qingyue asked directly, giving Xing Yin a look, Xing Yin took out some high-grade spirit stones, put them into the spirit stone bag, and stuffed them directly into the woman's hand.

The woman stopped thinking about looking at the spirit stones in the spirit stone bag again, and said excitedly: "You are asking the right person, I will tell you, it was like this at the time......"

Lin Qingyue listened to the woman's story while eating.

The woman's account obviously has a certain mythological overtone.

It is said that at the beginning, four fishermen went out to sea by boat at dawn, but encountered sea beasts, resulting in the loss of two fishermen, and seeing that the remaining two were also buried in the sea, who knew that at this time, the waves on the sea surface were surging, and the sea beasts were directly washed away, and the fishing boat was also washed on a small island, which is not far from a small island of 100 steps.

The two surviving fishermen picked up a lot of ceramics on the beach of the island, some broken strange swords, and some broken bamboo slips, and then carried these things to the boat and brought them back.

After that, the two fishermen heard from the old man of Hanji Town that these things were ancient relics, but they were valuable. The old man of the rotten wood asked some monks in the town to help, and sold these things, exchanging them for as many as more than 2,000 high-grade spirit stones, which became a huge fortune.

Later, the two fishermen led everyone out to sea, but they couldn't find the ancient relics, and it didn't take long for the two fishermen to go out to sea all the time, and the people and boats disappeared, as if they were swallowed by the sea.

"So, these ancient things are all ominous, with some kind of curse. I advise you not to look for them, but to let them sleep quietly in the sea. The woman chattered.

Lin Qingyue nodded slightly, this information is basically not much different from the information she has.

"Who is the old man of Rotten Wood, and where is he?" Lin Qingyue said with a sharp gaze as she stared at the woman.

"Old Man Rotten Wood is the oldest immortal cultivator in our Hanji Town, and it is said that he has lived for almost two hundred years, but because he desecrated the ancient things, he advocated selling the ancient things for spirit stones, and he was cursed, and died violently on the third day after exchanging them for spirit stones. The woman sighed.

"Dead?" Lin Qingyue exerted some spiritual power.

"Dead, our family dug a pit and buried it, and the grave is to the west, under a pine tree. Without the slightest hesitation, the woman said directly.

Lin Qingyue turned around, picked up the tea bowl, and fell into thought.

The key characters either disappeared or died, and they really had no clue.

It is clear that the woman is not lying, which can only tell one thing:

The woman told the truth as she knew.

But is the fact that she knows really the truth?

Ancient things come with curses?hehe, that's a good explanation.
