After Nangong Lan left, Gu Chen floated down, quietly looking at Nangong Lan's disappearing back, he turned his head to look at the big tree beside him, his eyes emitted a bewitching red light, his fingers slowly stroked from the place where the spider had just crawled, and finally put it under his nose.

The red light in his eyes gradually receded, and Gu Chen muttered, "Sure enough, there is the taste of the Spider King, it seems that there is an inseparable relationship between this Nangong Lan and the Spider King, I am really curious, what is the conspiracy?"

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Chen finally shook his head, and then disappeared into the darkness before dawn.

......

The red sun rises in the east, the glow is thousands of miles, the golden red sunlight is sprinkled on the rolling cloud mountain, making the whole rolling cloud mountain look more majestic, in front of a separate courtyard, Gu Chen waited quietly, finally, after about half an hour, the courtyard door opened, and Liu He walked out.

Seeing Gu Chen standing in front of his courtyard, Liu He was stunned at first, and then said impatiently, "What are you doing, pretending to be a ghost early in the morning is scary." ”

Gu Chen clenched his fists, "Senior Brother Liu, I've finished my night patrol. ”

"The night patrol is over?" Liu He nodded, "Okay, I know, let's go." ”

"Senior Brother Liu. Liu Hegang wanted to leave, but Gu Chen stepped forward to stop him, "Senior Brother Liu, didn't you say that every night patrol, there will be three stingy pills?"

"What?" Liu He's voice suddenly raised an octave, "Who said there are three stingy pills?"

Gu Chen's face was unwavering;" Senior Brother Liu kissed who yesterday. ”

"You must have heard it wrong!" Liu He said loudly, "It's one for three days!"

"But ....... ”

"I said that you heard it wrong, you heard it wrong!" Liu He said unhappily, "Okay, don't bother me, I still have something to do, come to me in two days to get it." ”

After saying this, Liu He was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again, because Nangong Lan was walking towards the two.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Liu He's voice was a little cold.

Gu Chen clenched his fists, then turned to leave, and when he staggered with Nangong Lan, he nodded and smiled, but Nangong Lan sneered and didn't glance at him.

Approaching Liu He, Nangong Lan smiled like a flower; "Senior brother,"

A delicate shout almost made Liu He slump, and his big hand gently pinched Nangong Lan's buttocks, Liu He said, "How was your rest last night?"

Nangong Lan nodded, "It's just that one person is a little lonely. ”

Liu He understood and said in a low voice, "Why don't you come to Senior Brother tonight?"

"Nasty. With a coquettish sound, Nangong Lan suddenly looked at Gu Chen's slowly departing back, and said, "Senior brother, what is this white hair coming to you for?"

Liu He recounted the matter, and Nangong Lan looked adoring, "Senior brother is simply too manly." ”

"That's, who let him offend my precious junior sister, wait, I have a way to clean him up in the future. ”

......

In an old courtyard, Gu Chen stood quietly, and now his heart was full of questions, that is, what did Nangong Lan come to do?

Gu Chen is now sure that there must be a relationship between Nangong Lan and the Spider King, and she doesn't know herself, but what is her purpose? If the Spider King really wants to attack here, she will take action directly, is it possible, is she afraid of the power here?

It doesn't make sense!

What kind of three-talented sect is this, although Liu He's boast will definitely be the first major sect of Evergreen Mansion in the future, but it is also to fool those 'little children'.

If the Spider King really does it, it will definitely not be a problem to annihilate the Sancai Gate, but this is the doubt of all the problems, in this case, why not just do it? What other purpose is there?

Gu Chen thought for a while, and finally took out the sound transmission jade.

"What's wrong, Gu Chen?" Jin Kun's voice came from it.

Gu Chen said, "Jin Kun, you have been staring at the Spider King for so long, I want to ask you, do you know anything suspicious about her actions?"

"Where is the action suspicious? How do you say this, the whereabouts of the Spider King have always been erratic, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that it feels a little strange, it feels like the Spider King isn't just killing, she seems to have some purpose. ”

"Isn't the purpose to be hostile to humans?"

Hostile to humanity?

As Jin Kun spoke, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Gu Chen's mind, and he said, "Jin Kun, let me ask you, are the people the Spider King killed all the way cultivators?"

"This, definitely not, according to the arc of her massacre, there are many ordinary villages and towns, all of which have been slaughtered, these are ordinary people. ”

Gu Chen's forehead wrinkled tightly, this is unreasonable, even though the Spider King has lost his mind, but in the eyes of ordinary people in their realm, they belong to harmless beings and animals, and they have no reason or desire to do it at all.

Even if the Spider King targets humans, he should be human monks, and it is absolutely unreasonable to slaughter ordinary people.

"Gu Chen?" After not hearing Gu Chen's voice for a long time, Jin Kun couldn't help but shout.

Gu Chen came back to his senses and said, "It's just that something suddenly came to mind, I'll go to you tonight, and there are some things to confirm." ”

"Well, that's good, I'll see you in the evening. ”

After Gu Chen and Jin Kun broke off the call, he couldn't help rubbing his chin and slowly pacing in the courtyard, the more he thought about it, the more unreasonable he felt, and even his intuition told him that behind what the Spider King did, there must be a big conspiracy hidden.

Time passed quietly, the time of the day passed, night fell, Gu Chen, under the supervision of Liu He, walked into the back mountain of Rolling Cloud Mountain, and began to patrol the mountain, of course, Liu He didn't see it at all, not long after Gu Chen entered the back mountain, there was an illusory shadow flying into the sky.

......

"Gu Chen, what did you find?" On a mountain peak, Jin Kun saw Gu Chen flying in, and hurriedly asked, in fact, when Chuanyin Yu was talking today, he heard that it was abnormal, otherwise Gu Chen would not have lost his mind.

Gu Chen said, "I haven't found anything yet, but I have some suspicions. ”

"Doubtful?"

"That's right, it's the line you drew that gives me a feeling that the Spider King definitely didn't kill people according to that line casually, and there must be some conspiracy behind her brewing. ”

"It's ....... ”

"Of course, this is just my guess for now, and now I'm about to verify it. ”

"How do you verify it?"

"Take me to the place where Spider killed people, first to the villages and towns where she slaughtered. ”

Jin Kun thought for a moment, "Okay, then I'll take you to a town first." ”

After saying this, Jin Kun directly rose into the air and disappeared into the dark night sky.

......

Under the dark sky, a town that has been desolate for an unknown amount of time, Jin Kun and Gu Chen said while walking in the town, "This is a town that the Spider King slaughtered two years ago, there is not a single living mouth in the town, and the corpses were piled up at that time, and they burned for five days and five nights.

Gu Chen looked around and said, "Something seems wrong. ”

Jin Kun wrinkled his forehead for some reason, "What's wrong?"

"There is no breath of death. ”

"What?"

"There's no smell of death. Gu Chen said, "After a person dies, he will leave a special breath of death, that breath is very special, especially the people of this town, the breath should be very strong, but I didn't feel it, I only felt desolation, but this feeling is not the same as that breath of death." ”

Jin Kun didn't have the experience of Gu Chen, nor did he have the bloodline of Gu Chen's Fire Phoenix and Yin Evil as his nemesis, so he wondered, "It's been two years, isn't it strange?"

"Strange. Gu Chen said, "It's not a matter of time, but I haven't noticed a little death breath, which is too strange, two years is not enough time to dissipate the death breath emitted by the death of a town person, not even twenty years." ”

"And what do you mean?"

That's where the suspicion lies. As he spoke, Gu Chen suddenly stood up lightly, suspended directly above the town, his bright eyes glanced for a while, and finally stared at a dilapidated courtyard and flew down.

Seeing this, Jin Kun knew that Gu Chen must have made a discovery, so he hurriedly followed, and when he arrived, he saw Gu Chen painting on the ground in the courtyard.

Jin Kun said, "What did you find?"

"Don't come here. Gu Chen stopped Jin Kun from advancing, and carefully cleaned up in the courtyard alone, time passed little by little, about two hours later, Gu Chen gave up, and in the courtyard at this time, a strange pattern appeared on the ground.

It looks like some kind of animal, but if you look closely, you find that it is not, it seems to be composed of strange symbols, revealing an inexplicable mystery and weirdness.

Jin Kun said, "Gu Chen, what is this?"

Gu Chen shook his head, "It looks like a formation, but there is no fluctuation of the formation, it seems to be just a strange pattern." ”

"Could it be that this family messed around before they died?"

"Probably not. Gu Chen pointed to the ground and said, "These strange symbols are definitely not something that ordinary people can draw. ”

"But what's the point?"

Gu Chen shook his head, "I don't know yet, I still have to find some more places, go, go to the next place." ”

......

In one night, Gu Chen, under the leadership of Jin Kun, drove to five places, three of these five places are ordinary villages and towns, and the other two are two unknown small sects, although these five places have no connection, but the same thing is that these five places have all found that kind of strange pattern.

Jin Kun didn't find it before, because these patterns were either destroyed or buried before, and Gu Chen finally restored them.

As the red sun rose, Jin Kun handed Gu Chen a pot of wine and said, "It's dawn, if you don't go back, be careful of being discovered." ”

Gu Chen shook his head, "Don't go back first, things happen here are too weird, I have to find someone first." ”

"Looking for someone, looking for whom?"

Someone who might be able to give me the answer.
