Following.

Hu Xianyong, Guan Lingling and Lin Yang said goodbye to He Dongyuan and went to Heming Mountain. He Dongyuan sent the three of them to the door with a smile on his face, and sent someone to show them the way, it was Liang Yuan with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

"The three nephews, this is my brother-in-law, he is very familiar with Xiliucheng and Heming Mountain, and he is also a Yuan Xiu, so I specially asked him to be a guide for the three, hoping that he can help the three. If there's anything you don't know, just ask him. He Dongyuan introduced Liang Yuan to Lin Yang and the others.

Lin Yang knew that He Dongyuan clearly arranged Liang Yuan by his side to better monitor, but like Hu Xianyong and Guan Lingling, he still thanked He Dongyuan for his intimate arrangement.

Liang Yuan also greeted Lin Yang and the three of them with a smile on his face, and his eyes couldn't take his eyes off Guan Lingling for a long time.

Lin Yang glanced at Liang Yuan, only to see that he had two black circles under his eyes, presumably he had tossed a lot last night.

"Hello, my name is Liang Yuan, and I dare to ask the name of the fairy."

As soon as he saw He Dongyuan walking into the gate of He's house, Liang Yuan greeted Guan Lingling with a smile on his face, and a pair of eyes couldn't help but glance at Guan Lingling's chest.

Guan Lingling was disgusted at the first sight of Liang Yuan, and she coldly said her name: "Guan Lingling! ”

After speaking, Guan Lingling turned around and went to Lin Yang's side, pretending to discuss things with Lin Yang.

Liang Yuan was bored, laughed dryly, and raised his feet to lead the way.

Hu Xianyong found that Guan Lingling and Lin Yang had obviously gotten closer in the past two days, and now they got together again, and they didn't know what to talk about, and their dislike for Lin Yang intensified again, and it had risen to the level of disgust.

Lin Yang and Guan Lingling walked past Hu Xianyong with a smile and a smile, Hu Xianyong looked at Lin Yang's back coldly, his hands had been clenched into fists, he couldn't care about the advice of the upper side, and decided that he must teach Lin Yang a lesson if he had the opportunity.

Heming Mountain, there is a wetland in the mountain, attracting countless white cranes to inhabit in Heming Mountain, and the cranes sing endlessly every day, so it gets its name.

"Brother Liang, hasn't anyone escaped from the White Crane Gate?" Hu Xianyong stood in front of a house ruin and asked Liang Yuan.

The ruins are not far from the swamps where cranes chirp, stretching for miles, and everywhere are ruins blackened by smoke and fire.

Liang Yuan shook his head, pointed to a clearing in the middle of the ruins, and said: "More than three hundred corpses, regardless of men, women, old and young, none of them are intact, all of them are piled up there. It's so miserable, the people who attacked the White Crane Gate are really cruel. ”

"Brother Liang saw these corpses?" Lin Yang looked at the ruins quietly and asked.

"I saw it, not only me, but half of the people in Xiliu City saw it, and the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to Heming Mountain to pull the corpse, and it took two days to clean up the corpse. Baihemen didn't know who he had offended, and he ended up in such a miserable end. Liang Yuan sighed and made a sympathetic look.

"I wonder if Brother Liang has seen Uncle Qingchi's corpse?" Lin Yang then asked.

"See, the corpse was brought back from Ganyuan City by me! Hey, this elder of your Danxia faction has all his limbs broken, and one of his eyes has been gouged out, so he must have been tortured a lot before his death. Liang Yuan shook his head, and then said: "The first time I saw the corpses of the three sect seniors, I had a conjecture in my heart, if the three of them don't think I'm talking, I can say it to the three of them, but the three of them please keep it secret for me, don't let my brother-in-law know that I said it, because my brother-in-law doesn't allow me to get involved." ”

"Oh!" Hu Xianyong suddenly became interested, took a few steps closer to Liang Yuan, and said, "Brother Liang just said, I promise not to tell Uncle He." ”

Liang Yuan looked at Lin Yang and Guan Lingling.

Hu Xianyong understood, so he said to Lin Yang and Guan Lingling: "Senior Sister Guan, Lin Yang, you won't tell Uncle He either, right?" ”

Guan Lingling nodded, and also took a few steps closer to Liang Yuan, showing interest.

Lin Yang looked at Liang Yuan with a smile and nodded, but said in his heart: Hmph, Liang Yuan, you can pretend to me, make it up, I see what tricks you and He Dongyuan are going to play! ”

"Since the three of them said so, then I said it, if it is wrong, please don't blame the three of you!" Liang Yuan saw that Guan Lingling was finally looking at him, and his spirit was suddenly shocked, he straightened his waist, coughed twice, and said: "I have seen the injuries on the body of your sect seniors, and I have also seen the injuries on the people of the White Crane Sect, and I found that the injuries on their bodies are very similar, their limbs are broken, and their eyes are gouged out. I think that the person who killed the three uncles was the one who destroyed the White Crane Gate. ”

When Hu Xianyong heard this, his face showed a look of disappointment, because what Liang Yuan said was the same as what He Donglai said, and there was nothing new.

Lin Yang and Guan Lingling were also a little disappointed, and they both turned their attention elsewhere.

Liang Yuan saw the expressions of the three of them, and hurriedly added, "I don't know if the three of you have heard of the Dark Alliance?" ”

"Dark Alliance?" Hu Xianyong was puzzled, he looked at Guan Lingling, but saw that Guan Lingling also shook his head. As for Lin Yang, Hu Xianyong directly chose to ignore it, because he thought that Lin Yang was even more unlikely to know about the Dark Alliance.

"The three of them practice in Danxia Mountain all the year round, and the Danxia faction is far away from Changguo, so it's normal that you haven't heard of the Dark Alliance. The Dark Alliance is an organization that has only recently appeared in Changguo, this organization acts mysteriously, has huge power, and its methods are extremely cruel, and it has created several sensational bloody cases in Changguo, Changguo's original second-ranked Yuanxiu Sect Lvjian Lake was ambushed by the Dark Alliance because of a conflict with the Dark Alliance, and directly lost ten Yuanji Realm powerhouses, and his strength plummeted, and he collapsed. I guess that the murderer who destroyed the White Crane Gate and killed the three sect masters and uncles is likely to be the Dark Alliance. Not only do they have this strength, but they also have similar methods. Liang Yuan talked eloquently, obviously having typed the draft.

Hu Xianyong's eyes lit up, and he obviously thought he had found a clue.

Lin Yang and Guan Lingling shifted their attention to Liang Yuan again.

"Brother Liang, wait a minute, I have something to discuss with my junior sister and junior brother." Hu Xianyong arched his hand apologetically at Liang Yuan, and then called Lin Yang and Guan Lingling aside.

"Senior Sister Guan, Lin Yang, Baihemen is already in ruins, we can't find any clues at all, and Heming Mountain is too big, so we don't have any direction to look for something that may not be in Heming Mountain, it won't work at all." After Hu Xianyong finished laying the groundwork, he continued:

"Personally, I think that if what Liang Yuan said is true, the dark alliance is very suspicious of killing Uncle Qingchi. If we want to find out the real cause of Uncle Qingchi's death, and if we want to find the thing that the sect wants, we should start with the Dark Alliance. ”

Guan Lingling nodded lightly, but did not speak.

Hu Xianyong looked at Lin Yang and asked, "Lin Yang, what do you say?" ”

Lin Yang was silent for a while, and said, "What Senior Brother Hu said also makes some sense, but since Liang Yuan knows about the Dark Alliance, and Senior Sister Guan has also asked Senior Uncle He if he has any suspicions, but Senior Uncle He has not mentioned the Dark Alliance, this is suspicious. At the same time, listening to Liang Yuan, the Dark Alliance is strong, and it is too risky for us to rush to investigate. Moreover, we haven't been to Ganyuan City yet, so I think, for the sake of safety, let's go to Ganyuan City first and go to the place where Uncle Qingchi died. ”

Hu Xianyong snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Guan Lingling, and said, "Senior Sister Guan, go to investigate the Dark Alliance, or go to Ganyuan City, you decide." ”

Guan Lingling was obviously stunned, she didn't expect Hu Xianyong to actually give the decision to herself, she thought for a while, and said: "Senior Brother Hu, Senior Brother Lin, I don't think it's as good as this, since Senior Brother Hu thinks that the Dark Alliance should be investigated first, then Senior Brother Hu will investigate the Dark Alliance, Senior Brother Lin thinks that he should go to Ganyuan City first, then Senior Brother Lin will go to Ganyuan City." Elder You didn't say that the three of us had to act together, right? We could have gone our separate ways. ”

Hu Xianyong frowned and asked, "Then Senior Sister Guan will go with me to investigate the Dark Alliance, or will she go to Ganyuan City with Lin Yang." After speaking, he looked at Guan Lingling with a look of hope. He was thinking in his heart that if he didn't have Lin Yang by his side, he would be able to spark a little bit if he and Guan Ling Lingbao were not in line.

It's just that Hu Xianyong's illusions were soon shattered.

Guan Lingling didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Since it is a separate operation, I naturally have my own direction of investigation, you go to investigate the cause of Uncle Qingchi's death, and I will start with the thing that the sect wants." Although Heming Mountain is big, Uncle Qingchi naturally does not look for a place to hide things indiscriminately, he will definitely choose some places that are both remote and conspicuous, remote is to avoid too many people passing by, and conspicuous is to facilitate himself to come back and pick up things. As long as I follow these two principles and ponder Uncle Qingchi's character again, I may not be able to find things. ”

Although Hu Xianyong was a little disappointed that Guan Lingling did not plan to go with him to investigate the Dark Alliance, but when he heard that Guan Lingling was not going to go with Lin Yang, his heart was much more comfortable, and he said flatteringly: "Listening to Senior Sister Guan's words, I am like an initiation, Senior Sister can actually think of this, it is really Bingxue Smart, which makes Senior Brother admire!" ”

Although Hu Xianyong's sycophant level is really not good, it is always a happy thing to be praised by others, and the corners of Guan Lingling's mouth flashed with a light smile.

The first time he saw Guan Lingling smiling at himself, Hu Xianyong's heart suddenly burst into flames, and he was about to get closer to Guan Lingling while the iron was hot, but he heard Lin Yang say very beautifully: "Senior Sister Guan, if Senior Uncle Qingchi hid things in a hurry, aren't your reasoning completely wrong?" ”

Guan Lingling was obviously stunned, then glanced at Lin Yang and said, "How do you know that Senior Uncle Qingchi is hiding things in a hurry?" You investigate yours, I'll investigate mine, and none of us interfere with others! ”

After speaking, Guan Lingling angrily stepped aside.

Hu Xianyong finally found an opportunity to get closer to Guan Lingling, but he was disturbed by Lin Yang, and the anger in his heart rose up and rushed straight to the top of his head.

"Lin Yang, I said that I was going to investigate the Dark Alliance, so you said that you should go to Ganyuan City first. Senior Sister Guan proposed a way to find something, and you came out to pour cold water again! Are you trying to cause trouble? Hu Xianyong glared at Lin Yang angrily.

"Senior Brother Hu, am I pouring cold water on me? Am I making trouble? Can't I have a different opinion? Didn't Elder You say that we have to discuss things when we encounter them! Lin Yang responded without showing weakness.

"Lin Yang, I think you are just deliberately making trouble! If I don't give you some color today, you really think that you have defeated a He Lang, and you think that our core disciples are easy to handle! Hu Xianyong was obviously looking for an excuse to do something to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang snorted coldly and said, "I said, why did Senior Brother Hu look at me horizontally and vertically as soon as we met, it turns out that the root is here in He Lang." Senior Brother Hu wanted to stand up for He Lang and said bluntly, don't find these crooked reasons, I need to work together with the other two senior brothers from the outer sect to defeat He Lang, not to mention that He Lang is still the weakest of your core disciples, I dare to pinch you? ”

Hu Xianyong was frank, he said directly: "I don't have the leisure to stand up for He Lang, but if you beat him, it will be equivalent to hurting the face of our core disciple!" You've hurt my face, and you can expect me to give you a good face? Since it's all said, I won't hide it. Lin Yang, if you beat He Lang, I will beat you, this truth is not a loss, right? ”

Lin Yang didn't expect Hu Xianyong to be so direct and confident, so he sneered: "Senior Brother Hu, if you want to beat me, you can't just rely on the name of the core disciple. I know that from the beginning you not only looked down on me, but you also looked down on me. I don't blame you, after all, you are a core disciple, I am an outer disciple, and you think I am not qualified to walk with you. Senior Brother Hu, let me tell you the truth, I really don't have to walk with you! ”

Liang Yuan, who was in the distance, saw that Lin Yang and Hu Xianyong were about to make a move, and his heart blossomed, but he hurriedly ran over to dissuade him.

But unexpectedly, Guan Lingling stopped him, and said to him: "Don't care, this is our own business sent by Danxia, they have long stopped dealing with it, they always have to fight early and late, and it is better to fight early than late!" ”

Liang Yuan couldn't wait for Lin Yang and Hu Xianyong to fight, but since Guan Lingling stopped him, he was also happy to push the boat along the river and stand aside to watch the excitement.

"Lin Yang, three moves, if you can't beat you within three moves, count me as losing!" Hu Xianyong stood with his hands in his hands, very arrogant.

Lin Yang was not annoyed by Hu Xianyong's contempt at all, he said softly: "Senior Brother Hu, let's not talk about yawning for now, let's talk about it." If you lose, please don't point fingers at me for the rest of the trip; If I lose, I will obey you in the future. How is it? ”

"It's a deal!" Hu Xianyong agreed without hesitation, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

"Okay, we've made a bet, but the terms of the battle seem to be a little unfair, right?" Lin Yang scratched his head.

"It's all three moves, what else are you going to do?" Hu Xianyong narrowed his eyes.

"I mean, the three-move battle is really unfair to Senior Brother Hu." The corners of Lin Yang's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled: "Senior Brother Hu, how about three and a half moves?"
