As soon as the sky was bright, in front of the boulder of the Danxia Sect Mountain Gate, Lin Yang, Hu Xianyong and Guan Lingling stood quietly, all three of them deliberately kept their distance, and no one spoke.

After a while, You Zhitan came into the sky.

"I've seen Elder You!"

Lin Yang and the three of them saluted You Zhitan successively.

After You Zhitan stopped, he nodded and said, "This trip is a long way, and there may be dangers in it, so you must be careful." Xianyong is the oldest among the three of you, and his cultivation is the highest, so the three of you will take him as the main one on this trip and discuss everything. In addition to investigating the cause of Qingchi's death, you also have to bring one thing back to the sect this time. Before his death, Cheongchi had summoned the sect that he had hidden his things in Heming Mountain in Changguo. But we don't know whether the thing is in Heming Mountain now, because the place where Qingchi finally died was in Ganyuan City, Changguo, and the difference between the two places was more than 100 miles. Even if the thing is still in Heming Mountain, we don't know where Qingchi hides the things in Heming Mountain, Heming Mountain is dozens of miles in radius, if you look for it inch by inch, the effort may be in vain in the end. Therefore, it is only possible to find out such a thing only by first finding out the cause of Qingchi's death and then looking for clues from it. ”

After Lin Yang listened to You Zhitan's introduction, he faintly felt that the sect said on the surface that it was to find out the cause of Qingchi's death, but the real purpose was such a thing. Moreover, You Zhitan has never revealed what such a thing is. Proving that such a thing must be extraordinary, it is very important to the Danxia faction, and it is even important enough to conceal and prevent the three of Lin Yang.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang's heart gradually became unhappy. At the same time, he comforted himself that maybe the sect didn't know what such a thing was, but this explanation was very weak.

"Elder You, do you know what such a thing is?" Lin Yang thought about it again and again, and finally said the question in his heart, and after speaking, he observed You Zhitan's expression with all his heart.

"The old man didn't know what it was, and Qing Chi only said in the interrogation that it had a lot to do with it, but did not explain what it was. As you know, although the communication jade pendant is convenient for communication, it also has its drawbacks, the content of the communication is easy to be mutilated and lost during transmission, and the farther the distance, the more obvious the disadvantages. Changguo is too far away from the sect, and Qingchi may have informed the sect of the details of this item, but it was lost during the transmission. You Zhitan glanced at Lin Yang and patiently explained.

"Did I guess wrong? The sect didn't know what it was. Lin Yang paid attention to You Zhitan throughout the whole process, and found that You Zhitan's expression was not unusual.

"Lin Yang, our task is to retrieve things, what are you asking so much for?" Hu Xianyong interjected, and his tone was not very friendly.

Lin Yang glanced at Hu Xianyong and thought to himself, "Isn't it just that Elder You casually said that he wants you to be the main one?" This has not yet started, and he has put on a posture of teaching people. If I don't give you some color, I might be able to kick my nose and face on the road behind! ”

"I don't even know what it is, and if I take something wrong, won't I run in vain? Or maybe in order to complete the mission of the sect, we randomly took something back? Lin Yang actually felt that Hu Xianyong seemed to have an opinion about himself, so he replied unceremoniously.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Guan Lingling stood quietly to the side, looking like he didn't care about himself.

Hu Xianyong's face darkened, and he was about to speak, but he heard You Zhitan speak: "What are you doing?" Before you start leaving, you're going to get into a fight? How many times have I told you, this journey is a long way, and there are dangers in it, and you need to be sincerely united. Let you discuss everything, not let you quarrel as soon as you open your mouth, it's normal for young people to be angry, but don't spend your energy on arguing. You Zhitan snorted coldly and continued: "Let you go to Changguo, it's not that you have to look around like headless flies without a clue. You take these three communication jade plates, and when you arrive in Changguo, someone will answer you, and he will provide you with some clues. ”

While speaking, You Zhitan handed over a piece of jade pendant to Lin Yang and the three of them. This kind of communication jade pendant, Lin Yang had seen Qingchi use it.

"I've also told you about the disadvantages of communicating the jade pendant, so you can use it for daily contact, but it's better not to rely on it when delivering urgent and important information." You Zhitan solemnly instructed.

Lin Yang and the three of them put the jade pendant away and nodded one after another.

"Well, you guys can go now. Remember, be careful, be safe! You Zhitan waved his hand and motioned for Lin Yang and the three of them to leave.

After Hu Xianyong, Lin Yang and Guan Lingling successively bowed to You Zhitan, they rode on the bull-headed bird and soon disappeared into the sky.

You Zhitan watched the departure of the three of them, shook his head, and sighed: "None of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and I am afraid that there will be stumbles along the way!" ”

……

Ten days later, a group of three young people, two men and one woman, stepped into the territory of Changguo, they were Lin Yang, Hu Xianyong and Guan Lingling.

After a long journey of thousands of miles, the faces of the three of them were tired.

Along the way, the communication between the three of them was pitiful. After Lin Yang and Hu Xianyong had an unpleasant quarrel before leaving, the two barely talked later. Guan Lingling occasionally talked to Lin Yang, but it was often out of polite daily greetings.

At the same time, Lin Yang discovered an interesting thing, that is, all the way down, Hu Xianyong seemed to have an interest in Guan Lingling, and would be courteous to Guan Lingling from time to time. It's just that Guan Lingling doesn't have any feelings for Hu Xianyong.

Watching Hu Xianyong shave his head and his burden was hot, Lin Yang felt that the boring journey was a little interesting.

On the second day after stepping into the territory of Changguo, Hu Xianyong's summoning Yu Pei had a movement, and a man named He Dongyuan asked them to meet in Xiliucheng of Changguo.

Xiliu Fortress is the border city of Changguo, but its scale is far greater than that of Xian'an City. It is not very far from the location of Lin Yang and the three of them at the moment, and it will be half a day's journey.

At the banquet of the He family in Xiliucheng, the table was full of delicacies, sheng songs and dances, wine and beauty, He Dongyuan warmly entertained Lin Yang and the three of them.

He Dongyuan was originally a disciple of the Danxia faction, after cultivating to the Yuanji realm, he knew that his qualifications were limited, and he did not enter the realm on the way to cultivation, so he returned to his hometown Xiliucheng, and after more than ten years of hard work, he created a foundation in Xiliucheng, and now the He family is the premier family in Xiliucheng.

At the same time, He Dongyuan did not cut off contact with the Danxia faction, and became the eyeliner and peripheral force of the Danxia faction in Changguo.

He Dongyuan was short and fat, with a fat head and big ears, and a ruddy face, and when he saw that Lin Yang and the three of them didn't seem to be interested in Shengge and dance, he waved away the dancing girl.

"The three teachers and nephews came from afar, and the hospitality was not considerate, please forgive me." He Dongyuan was humble with a smile on his face, he knew that although the three people in front of him were young, they were hot people in the Danxia faction, and their future was limitless, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"Uncle He is polite." Hu Xianyong responded with his hand, and then cut straight to the point, saying: "Uncle He, I am pressed for time, please inform Uncle Qingchi about it." ”

He Dongyuan sighed, and then said sadly: "I am very guilty of Senior Brother Qingchi, if I can persuade him again, he may not have an accident!" ”

Stretching out his sleeve and wiping away the tears that didn't exist, He Dongyuan continued: "Even if Senior Nephew Hu doesn't urge, I am about to tell the three Senior Nephews the specific context of the matter. ”

Speaking of this, He Dongyuan instructed the slave maid to remove the banquet, serve tea and snacks, and light sandalwood before continuing to talk about Qingchi.

It turned out that after the ceremony of activating the dark veins in Xian'an City that day, the jade pendant message that Qingchi received before leaving Xian'an City was sent by He Dongyuan.

The reason why Qingchi left in a hurry was because He Dongyuan got a piece of news: a corpse appeared out of thin air in a village at the foot of Heming Mountain in Changguo after the sudden spatial distortion. The people in the village were shocked and inexplicable, but Yuan Xiu, who had a little knowledge, soon knew that this corpse had been teleported through space.

Heming Mountain was between Xiliucheng and Ganyuan City in Changguo, and when the news of the vision reached He Dongyuan's ears, He Dongyuan immediately reported to the Danxia faction, and the Danxia faction instructed He Dongyuan to contact Qingchi, who was in Xian'an City, Changguo, and asked Qingchi to go to investigate the situation.

After Qingchi received the news, he rushed to Heming Mountain as soon as possible.

But Xian'an City is not close to Heming Mountain, and when Qingchi arrived at Heming Mountain, the corpse had already been taken away, and it was the Changguo Yuan Xiu Sect Baihemen set up by the sect in Heming Mountain.

The White Crane Gate is in the Changguo Yuan Cultivation Sect, which is not big or small, it is considered a midstream force, the door master is the Yuan Xiu in the late stage of the Yuan Base Realm, and there are two deputy masters in the early stage of the Yuan Ji Realm, and the cultivation of the other sects is under the Yuan Ji Realm.

Soon after the White Crane Gate took away the corpse, news came out: the White Crane Gate found many heavy treasures from the corpse! The news was extremely reliable, because the news came out of one of the two deputy masters of the White Crane Gate, and this deputy master may have been too excited to get a heavy treasure, and after drinking too much, he said that he leaked his mouth.

After Qingchi knew that Baihemen had taken away the corpse, he did not act rashly, but first went to He Dongyuan to inquire about Baihemen's background and strength, so that he could act next. At the same time, Qingchi also summoned the sect and asked the sect for instructions on how to act.

But because the news of the heavy treasure on the corpse leaked, not only Changguo Yuanxiu, but even Yuanxiu outside Changguo flocked to Heming Mountain.

After waiting for the reply of the sect for a long time, and seeing more and more Yuan Xiu appearing near Heming Mountain, Qingchi decided to go to Baihemen to explore the truth first, planning to use the name of the Danxia faction to let Baihemen allow him to see the corpse, and then explore what the treasure is.

There is a precedent for the Heavenly Ruins Realm, and Qianzhou Yuan Xiu has a great enthusiasm for things that appear in the form of spatial teleportation, not to mention that this corpse is also carrying a heavy treasure.

He Dongyuan had reservations about Qingchi's decision to go to Baihemen alone, and he thought that he should wait for the instructions of the sect to arrive before making plans, or he should go with Qingchi, because Xiliucheng and Heming Mountain are not far away, and He Dongyuan has had several encounters with the master of Baihemen. But Qingchi was resolute, he had to go to investigate alone first, and told He Dongyuan that he would keep in touch with him at any time, and if there was danger, he would be notified in time.

However, on the second day of Qingchi's trip to Baihemen, He Dongyuan heard the news: Baihemen was destroyed, and there were 360 people, none of whom were spared, and died tragically.

He Donglai was shocked inexplicably, he knew that this was definitely not done by Qing Chi, because Qing Chi did not have this strength. However, Qingchi has not been heard from at all.

It wasn't until more than half a year later that He Donglai received news from Qingchi, who informed him that he was now in Ganyuan City and would return to Xiliu City after a while.

However, Qingchi eventually died in Ganyuan City, where he died a miserable death and suffered cruel torture during his lifetime.

"Uncle He, did Uncle Qingchi say where he has been for most of the past six months?" Lin Yang asked suddenly.

He Dongyuan glanced at Lin Yang, shook his head, and said, "I speculate that Senior Brother Qingchi has either been trapped in a certain place for most of the past half a year, or has been seriously injured. ”

"Is the person who killed Uncle Qingchi the same person who killed the White Crane Gate?" Hu Xianyong saw that Lin Yang still wanted to ask something that he thought was insignificant, so he preemptively asked.

He Dongyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there are similarities between Senior Brother Qingchi's death and the death of the people from Baihemen, and it is very likely that it was done by the same person."

"Uncle He, you have been in Changguo for many years and have a deep understanding of the major forces in Changguo, do you have any suspicions?" Guan Lingling didn't say a word at the singing and dancing banquet before, but at this moment, he finally spoke up.

He Dongyuan muttered: "After Senior Brother Qingchi died, I also did an investigation. Looking at the entire Changguo, the only Yuanxiu sect that can wipe out the White Crane Gate overnight is the first sect in Changguo, Jade Bone Mountain. But even if Jade Bone Mountain can destroy the White Crane Gate overnight, it needs to mobilize a large number of people, and it will definitely not be able to do it so silently. My guess is that nine times out of ten, the forces involved in this matter are not Changguo's forces. ”

"Uncle He, what other news did Uncle Qingchi pass on to you before he died?" Hu Xianyong continued to ask.

He Dongyuan took a sip of tea and shook his head with sadness on his face, tears still welling up in the corners of his eyes.

Hu Xianyong and Guan Lingling's faces showed disappointment, although He Dongyuan explained to them the ins and outs of the matter, there were still no useful clues on how to start investigating Qingchi's death.

"Uncle He, can you tell me where Uncle Qingchi is buried, and my nephew wants to go and worship." Lin Yang spoke again.

"Lin Yang, we are now discussing to find out the clues about the cause of Uncle Qingchi's death, when can't we worship, we have to go to worship now?" Hu Xianyong frowned and looked at Lin Yang, and said unhappily.

"Senior Brother Hu, you can discuss, if there is a result, just tell me, how to act, Lin Yang just listen to your instructions." Lin Yang responded lightly, and then set his eyes on He Dongyuan.

"You!" Hu Xian had the courage to flick his sleeves, but he was helpless.

He Dong came to look at Hu Xianyong and then at Lin Yang, obviously a little embarrassed.

"Senior Uncle He, you discuss with Senior Brother Hu first, I have an old relationship with Senior Uncle Qingchi, so I should go to worship his old man, so you can arrange for someone to take me and Senior Brother Lin Yang to worship." Guan Lingling actually opened her mouth at this time, and before, she had always watched the dispute between Lin Yang and Hu Xianyong.
