Chapter 166: Clues
This is the thirty-ninth night that Pei Qian has been looking for Gu Xijun day and night.
Summer to autumn, in just these days, he has searched all over the four ancient families, has been to the Lechuan stream, found the old sites of the city recorded in ancient books around the world, and traveled to most of the rivers and mountains of Yunnan. He even rushed back to the Wuyang Temple to implore the retreating master to divinate the auspicious fortune for Gu Xijun.
But except for the discovery of some conspiracies between the Lu family and the Ji family and the small actions of the Yun family in secret, they all ended in nothing.

"That person has awakened in this world, you just need to remember the instructions of the Enlightenment Temple. Others, if not in your part, do not meddle. ”
"However, the magic circle in the Lechuan Stream is becoming more and more ineffective, and the waves on the Ji family's side are turbulent, planning to reactivate the soul bathing spell. Now, Gu Xijun has disappeared with that person, how can the disciple complete his mission?"
"Ji family?sigh...... Due to fate, there is a certain number, and what is destined cannot be avoided after all. ”
"Master, so to speak...... ......It has become an established fact that the Lethe River Stream Circle has been broken?! How is Gu Xijun now? Is she in danger of life and death, can she return safely?"
"For the sake of the teacher, these days and nights to observe their natal stars, the stars are dim, there are dark clouds hovering around them all day long, it can be described as a dilemma, nine deaths! But although this is extremely dangerous, it is not an opportunity. After all these twists and turns, I can only hope that that person will finally abandon her obsession and resolve the anger in her heart......"

Thinking of the scene when the master had a conversation with him that day, Pei Qian thought about it repeatedly, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He was very scared, even more scared than the last time Gu Xijun broke into the Lechuan stream alone. Shi Zu said that her fate was dim at the moment, and she was trapped here with nothing to do! Sometimes, he really doubted whether Gu Xijun was still in this world!
He regretted it very much, regretting why he let her go to the sky with Mu Juechen by her temperament. He obviously knew the real purpose of Mu Juechen's approach to her, but he didn't tell her the truth!
Also, why did the ancestor say that he hoped that Mu Juechen, a person who had accumulated thousands of years of resentment in Lechuan Stream, would change for her?
This is obviously only half exposed, and it is plausible and ambiguous. said that he kept blaming himself, and he couldn't help but secretly feel a trace of sourness and nervousness in his heart.
If it was me who was by your side at the beginning, I would never have let you mess around like this......
After thinking about it, Pei Qian still decided to rush back to the original place where Gu Xijun and them disappeared overnight - this strange courtyard in the Lu Mansion with a quaint atmosphere everywhere.
Before, he had also looked for Lu Jiao, but she talked to him left and right, saying that the treasure house was a secret family secret, and it was inconvenient to talk to outsiders. Therefore, Pei Qian never knew why Gu Xijun and the others sneaked into the treasure house, and what unseen objects were hidden in it.
Moreover, whenever Pei Qian asked about the purpose of Lu Jiao's courtyard, it was obvious that she knew some inside information, but she was also perfunctory, and only roughly mentioned that this was an abandoned mansion that had long been in disrepair. And because of the rumors that it was haunted, the gate was locked and guarded by troops every day.
Pei Qian didn't believe it, because he felt that Lu Jiao didn't seem to be the same as before! Now she is not only mature in appearance, she likes to wear heavy makeup, but her temperament has undergone great changes.
Seeing Lu Jiao again, she no longer quarreled with him like before, on the contrary, her personality was much calmer and decisive. Her demeanor became calm and charming, and her speech was thoughtful and unremarkable. More precisely, it has become very urban!
In just over a month, she has changed so much. What's more, Gu Xijun's disappearance this time must have nothing to do with her!
In fact, since Pei Gan secretly found out that she had quickly replaced Lu Xu and secretly grasped the power of the Lu Mansion by extraordinary means, he was full of vigilance and had no trust in her. As for what means, Pei Qian had no way of knowing, and he was not interested in knowing.
It's just that at present, this matter always has to start with her, and let her understand the situation at the time and try to find clues.
Of course, I just understand that Pei Gan has always trusted only Wuyang Temple and Gu Xijun!
Raising his head lonely and looking at the starry sky full of stars, Pei Qian couldn't help frowning and thinking.
In the middle of the night, the cold voice came faintly, and he muttered to himself: "The white tiger in the west should stay in the west, the quality of Yingying, the sound of the pure, the threat of birds and beasts, the roaring mountains and forests, come to the right." The dragon retreated from the palace, and the white tiger went west. Xijun, it's almost autumn!"
Retracting his deep gaze, Pei Qian let out a long sigh of wistfulness, and focused his attention on the courtyard at his feet that he had already searched several times.
Sou!
After dodging a wave of Lu Mansion guards, Pei Qian fell from the branches, and his feet lightly stepped on the Xiaoxiao fallen leaves. With the sound of "crunching" dead leaves being trampled and broken, Pei Qian took advantage of the moonlight to start another search.
Two hours later, his forehead and nose were covered in fine sweat, and he was disappointed again.
The three rooms in the courtyard were empty, and every room, above and below the room, and even every wall in the secret room in the room, he carefully checked it again, but there was still no clue.
Although he knew that this would be the result, Pei Qian was still depressed.
The autumn breeze swept in, and the cool air hit, rolling up pieces of yellow leaves.
Looking at the floating leaves under his feet, Pei Qianming's eyes flashed, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he said to himself with some excitement: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of it earlier, since there are no clues in the house, why don't you investigate the courtyard outside the house!"
With a look of anticipation on his face, he immediately looked around, in addition to the stumps and leaves in the courtyard, the most suspicious thing was naturally the bottomless ancient well!
Quickly walking to the well, Pei Qian recited the mantra, lit a charm and threw it down the well.
Staring at the falling charm, he pursed his thin lips slightly.
Just as expected, the air in the ancient well was thin, and the spell was quickly extinguished before it could ignite for a few seconds.
Soon, the ancient well was like a black hole, and it was as black as an abyss. It's as if anything is accidentally sucked in and never gets out!
Swish!
But Pei Gan didn't think much about it, stepped over the edge of the well, and jumped down without hesitation!
At the same time as he fell, the sound of the wind swishing in his ears came, and his right hand quickly sacrificed the incineration marks, inserted it into the wall of the well, and slid down the wall of the well.
The sparks rubbed between the blade and the ink stone burst out continuously, bright and bright, and extremely dazzling in the endless darkness.
After counting for about ten seconds, Pei Qian felt that he had fallen to the bottom of the well.
Holding his breath, he pulled out another charm, one with the Soul Eater seal inside.
I wanted to cross you into another reincarnation, but now for the sake of the former monarch, I have to borrow your spirit to ignite the ghost fire of the netherworld to explore the way, I'm sorry!
After Pei Qian's heart secretly said, his eyes suddenly became sharp and fierce, and he made a gesture neatly, casting a spell and igniting a spell......
