Next to the Spirit Palace, there stands a bell tower that is two feet high.

Under the bell tower.

Yan San, who had a rough face, clasped his arms with both hands, and the copper bell scanned the surroundings with big eyes, and those curious pilgrims were all frightened by his fierce appearance and looked away.

On the bell tower, in the heaven and earth of a square circle.

The withered hand of the purple innocent person stroked gently on the brass bell.

Ye Qing and He Wen stood behind him, their eyes inexplicable.

Knock knock!

The knuckles tap the bell, making a slight muffled sound.

Zi Tianzhen looked at the brass bell that had gone through countless years and said:

"This bell has stood here since the beginning of the establishment of Chaotian Palace, and it has gone through five hundred and twenty-nine years of spring and autumn."

"It looks at what my Chaotian Palace has experienced in this panicked world."

Speaking of which.

Zi Tianzhen turned his head to look at Ye Qing and He Wen.

Finally, a bright gaze fell on He Wen.

He pinched the seal with both hands, bowed slightly, and said:

"Before He Cheng came to view, the poor road was already known."

"The three of them came here today, presumably for the fire back then."

He Wen and Ye Qing bowed their heads.

He Wen said: "Dare to ask the real person, what was so strange about the fire back then?" ”

This question is out.

Zi Tianzhen's body was a lot more rickety, and the drooping twilight appeared on his body.

The bright eyes are full of reminiscences.

After a few breaths, Zi Tianzhen slowly spoke:

"The fire back then burned strangely."

Speaking of which.

He turned to look to the east, where the Sanqing Hall was located, and said with a painful face:

"The Sanqing Palace, which has stood for more than 200 years, is not invaded by fire and water, and it will be destroyed in such a flash."

"The fire burned so suddenly and too big to be extinguished."

"The Sanqing Hall burned for almost an hour, and only the ruins and broken walls were burned, and the fire was extinguished."

"After entering, there is only a charred corpse left in the junior brother."

"When the autopsy was conducted, they said that the junior brother was murdered by someone, or by someone close to him."

"I can't believe it, my junior brother is kind to others and helps the world, why did I suffer a catastrophe."

Muddy tears flowed from the old man's eyes, and before they could reach his chin, they disappeared into the ravines and cheeks.

Purple Tianzhen, who closed his eyes and took a deep breath, exhaled turbid breath and calmed down.

He turned to look at the two people with solemn faces:

"Over the years, Poor Dao has secretly investigated the disciples in Guanzhong, and visited some pilgrims and monks who came to Guanzhong back then, but they found nothing."

"However, Poor Dao remembers that Lord Sun Xusun of Jinyi Wei Qianhu said that it was really strange for the junior brother to appear in the Sanqing Palace, and he might enter through the secret passage."

"The ruins of the Sanqing Palace can't be moved, and the poor road can't see anything."

"In the past month or so, according to his memory, he has walked countless times the deeds of his junior brother on the day of the accident."

Speaking of which.

Zi Tianzhen pointed to his feet and said:

"Poor Dao remembers that day when he came to this bell tower and rang the bell."

"Perhaps, the answer you are looking for is in this bell tower."

He Wen and Ye Qing immediately looked around and frowned.

Ye Qing asked:

"Dare to ask the real person, why do you think it is strange for the real person of Ziyuan to ring the bell?"

Purple Innocence Humanity:

"As the master of Chaotian Palace, the junior disciple should preside over the Fa, and he naturally doesn't need to ring the heavenly bell."

"But in the early morning of that day, he rang the bell and did not say anything, and even came to the bell tower again in the evening."

"This is something that has never been done in the past."

Then.

Zi Tianzhen raised his hand again, touched the brass bell, and said ashamedly:

"It's a pity that the poor road is really clumsy, and he didn't see anything unusual about the bell tower."

With his arms in his arms, his right hand raised Ye Qing, who was rubbing his chin, and asked out loud:

"Dare to ask the real person, why did you not mention this matter in the confession recorded by Dali Temple at that time?"

The purple innocence with a bitter smile is humane:

"At that time, the junior brother died, the poor road was grief-stricken, what the Dali Temple asked, the poor road answered, I didn't think about it so much."

"It was during this period of time that I was looking for pilgrims, Hongchen experienced a lot of experience, and my mood grew, so I calmed down and thought about this."

Ye Qing, who bowed to Zitianzhen to apologize, said:

"I see, it's the younger generation who is suspicious."

Zi Tianzhen, who shook his head slightly, said seriously:

"It's good to be suspicious, think too much, maybe you can think of the truth of the past."

Then, Zi Tianzhen turned his head again, looked at the east, and said with hope in his eyes:

"I hope that the water can be settled as soon as possible, and I can get the permission of the imperial court to rebuild the Sanqing Palace."

said.

Zi Tianzhen pinched the Dao seal, silently recited the Dao decision, and bowed down to the east with guilt and piety on his face.

Ye Qing and He Wen glanced at each other, then solemnly bowed their heads, and said in unison:

"We will do everything in our power to thoroughly investigate this case."

Zi Tianzhen, who straightened his waist, bowed to the two of them, and slowly walked down the bell tower.

Ye Qing and He Wen walked to the side of the bell tower, holding the ancient bluestone with both hands, and as far as the eye could see, Chaotian Palace was in full view.

It is the first to bear the brunt, the majestic Jade Emperor Palace.

Then, there is the splendid and atmospheric Qiu Zu Palace, even if it is a little farther away, it looks taller than the Jade Emperor Palace.

After that, the terrain was raised, and on the wide square, a huge bronze tripod stood on it.

The two of them are standing on the bell tower more than two feet high, and they must also look up.

It should have been the Sanqing Hall with the widest area and the highest specifications, but it disappeared behind the bronze tripod.

Ye Qing frowned and said solemnly:

"Brother He, I remember that the map of Chaotian Palace in the dossier indicates that the Spirit Palace is three hundred and sixty-nine zhang away from the Sanqing Palace, right?"

"It is the distance controlled according to the number of Taoist heaven, earth and man, the three talents, the six combinations, and the nine palaces."

"If this bell tower hides a secret passage leading to the Sanqing Palace, Ziyuan Zhenren will come to this bell tower from the beginning of the fire, enter the secret passage and return to the Sanqing Palace."

"How much time do you think it will take?"

In the bright eyes, full of thoughtful Hewen, he said quickly:

"Ziyuan Zhenren is not weak, under the sprint of the masters of the rivers and lakes, it is extremely easy to take one step at a time, and he can jump eight steps in one breath, and there are even more people who have achieved light skills, and he can jump down from his heights, and it is not a problem to take five zhang in one step."

"Chaotian Palace is lined up, plus to avoid the crowd, I want to come to Ziyuan Zhenren from the Sanqing Palace to the bell tower, according to fifty interest."

"I don't know the situation of the secret passage, not to mention the time of entering and exiting the secret passage, if the secret passage is wide and flat, people can run wildly, adding up to a hundred breaths."

Ye Qing muttered: "Between a hundred breaths, but in half a moment, will no one really find out that Ziyuan Zhenren has disappeared?" ”

"He is the master of Chaotian Palace, if he goes to the water, he will definitely take the lead, and someone will definitely seek him to preside over the overall situation."

"This point, which is not recorded in the confession recorded in the file, is a suspicious point."

He Wen, whose eyes flashed, said with his chin bowed:

"What Brother Ye said is good, but it is recorded in the dossier that at this time of walking the water, Sun Xu of Jinyi Wei Qianhu was the first to open his mouth to let everyone put out the fire, so I think it is because of this."

Hearing this, Ye Qing thought about it for a while, and remembered that there was indeed such a thing, so he said ashamedly:

"Brother He's ability to never forget is really enviable."

"I forgot about it, and if you hadn't reminded me, it might have been hard to remember unless I read the file again."

He Wendao, who waved his hand:

"Brother Ye, you envy me for never forgetting, and I envy your exit into poetry, each other."

Ye Qing, who was dumbfounded, shook his head with a smile.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the bell tower at his feet:

"Brother He, let's get started."

"Let's see if this bell tower is as Zi Tianzhen said, there is a hidden mystery."
