The young man was obviously not from Middle-earth, but for some reason, he looked like he had known Li Xun for a long time. Li Xun, who had always had a cold face, had a slight smile on his face when he saw this young man, rubbed the young man's head, and said, "Ah Lanhua, did you miss me?"

The young man looked at Li Xun's eyes full of admiration, and nodded hurriedly when he heard the words.

This scene surprised everyone in Qingyunmen very much, they had always had no good face towards Li Xun, and even Lin Zhuo, who still had Liang Zi between the two, looked at Li Xun strangely.

Li Xun said a few more words to the young man, then let go of his body and walked into the inn with the Qingyun people.

Entering the inn, it is obvious that the tables and chairs are very influenced by Middle-earth culture, but the boss and the guys are locals.

Li Xun beckoned everyone to sit down first, then got up and went to the counter, and said something to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly after listening, and went to the inn to prepare.

After a while, some delicate side dishes were brought up from the back kitchen, and after everyone in Qingyunmen had a light meal, they went to the rear inn under the leadership of the young man and rested.

...

Incense Valley...

In a quiet place deep in the valley, there is an exquisite courtyard built against the mountains. It is surrounded by a towering wall on three sides, and only the main entrance is hidden, making it difficult to see inside.

And on the door plaque, the three big characters of 'Tianxiangju' are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, and the momentum is extraordinary.

This is the place where the valley lord Yun Yilan has been retreating, except for Shangguan Ce, who has always been deeply relied on by Yun Yilan, only his personal disciple Li Xun can enter and leave here freely.

"Squeak..."

With a soft sound, someone pushed the door open and slowly walked in.

The person who came was dressed in a gray robe, it was Shangguan Ce himself, he seemed to hesitate about something, but he stood still. After a long time, he gently brushed away the dust on his body, waved his hand to close the door behind him, and walked towards the hall.

In the small courtyard, a few linden trees gently shook their branches in the breeze, and except for a path in the middle, surrounded by green grass, there was nothing else.

Shangguan Ce walked over, pushed the door open, and closed it again.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, as if the distractions of the world had been shut out of the house by raising his hand.

There was no one in the room, he raised his eyes to look around, but walked to the side of the wall, raised his hand and gently punched out.

In a flash of light, the wall in front of him suddenly cracked, and in a low sound, a dark passage gradually appeared in front of him.

The dark passage is not dark, on the contrary, on the rock walls on both sides, there is a night pearl inlaid on it every few zhang, illuminating the entire dark passage.

Shangguan Ce didn't stop, he stepped into the dark passage, and behind him, the wall slowly closed again in a dull sound.

The dark passage was not long, and he quickly walked to his destination, which was a stone room about the size of the outer room just now, and there was nothing in the stone room, but there was a screen, horizontal in the middle, blocking his vision.

Yun Yilan's voice came from behind, "You're back?"

Shangguan Ce hurriedly stopped, bowed down, and said, "Yes, senior brother." ”

There was no movement behind the screen, but there was silence for a while, but Shangguan Ce didn't dare to get up, so he maintained this posture like this, silent.

After a long time, Yun Yilan's voice rang out again.

"Alright, get up. ”

Shangguan Ce straightened up at this time, and stood in place with his eyes slightly closed, but heard Yun Yilan say again: "During the time I was in retreat, I was first offended by those fishmen, and then I even escaped the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox that had been suppressed in that Xuanhuo Altar for more than three hundred years, and even attracted the snooping of Qingyunmen. ”

After a pause, he continued: "What my ancestors in the Incense Valley have worked hard to plan for several generations has almost come to naught, you... That's a great job!"

Shangguan Ce's body suddenly paused slightly, but for a moment, the voice behind the screen was suddenly full of majesty, and it weighed heavily on his heart, only making him breathless.

There was silence for a while, but after a long time, he sighed lightly, and Yun Yilan behind the screen continued: "Forget it, how about the things that let you do?"

When Shangguan Ce heard this, he hurriedly took out a scroll from his bosom and said, "They are too cautious, and the method of urging only gives half of it, saying that they will not give the other half until the news is confirmed to be true." ”

Suddenly a red light flashed behind the screen, and a large sleeve swept in, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped the scroll and retracted behind the screen.

There was a sound of surprise, but it was Yun Yilan who was checking, and after a long time, he finished checking, snorted coldly, and said, "I expected that before the beast demon broke the seal, they would definitely not give this thing to us so easily." ”

When Shangguan Ce heard this, a trace of complexity flashed on his face, he gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Senior brother, is it... Do you really want to release that monster? Once that monster breaks the seal, the people of this world, I'm afraid..."

At this point, he opened his mouth and did not continue.

Yun Yilan behind the screen also fell silent, and after a long time, he said slowly: "What's the hurry, that ten thousand swords... Isn't it in the past..."

When Shangguan Ce heard this, he was still not very relieved, but he didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Yun Yilan chuckled lightly and gloated: "Don't worry, those ten thousand swords have cultivated one by one, even after I broke through, I still can't see this person, that beast demon, this time it's really troublesome." ”

After a pause, his voice was low again, and he sneered, and said, "What a Qingyunmen, there is still such a hand hidden..."

Shangguan Ce listened silently, waiting for Yun Yilan to finish speaking, then he slowly hugged his fists and said: "There is one more thing, Master Li Xun said two days ago that the person who sneaked into the Xuanhuo Altar that night to make trouble was a ghost, and to rescue the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, without the secret spell of our Incense Valley, only by using the Xuanhuo Jian of the Spirit of Ten Thousand Flames can we unlock the confinement of the Xuanhuo Chain." In his opinion, he was only afraid that Xuanhuo Jian would be on Ghost Li. ”

Yun Yilan was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "What do you think?"

Shangguan Ce's face changed through the screen, and after a moment, he said respectfully: "I also think it's very possible." ”

When Yun Yilan heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay, you go down, this matter will be handed over to you, after this matter, the ghost king is powerful, I want to see him!"

Shangguan Ce's eyes flickered, nodded, and turned away.

Soon after, his figure disappeared into the dark passage, and a moment later a muffled sound sounded, apparently he had opened the secret door and went out.

In the silent stone room, Yun Yilan's laughter suddenly rang out, with a hint of desolation, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery.

"What a good junior brother of mine... I don't blame you for your dereliction of duty and the loss of Xuanhuo Jian back then, but now... You still haven't made any progress..."
