"How can this be?" Li Mengluan stood in place sluggishly, with a look of loss on his face.

Seeing this, Qingling walked up, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted: "After all, five hundred years have passed, and it is normal to not find the traces of the original." According to the Night Prince, the abyss of Beiju Luzhou and the Valley of Broken Dreams in Xiniu Hezhou are the best places to find the vortex of time and space. ”

Ye Yichen said at this time: "Actually, we can go and find the descendants of the surviving villagers, they may know something about what happened at the beginning, but they just don't want to say it." ”

"If they don't want to say it, we don't need to bother them. And we don't know where they are now. Li Mengluan's face showed a look of incomprehension.

"If you don't try it, how do you know if they want to mention it, I vaguely think that as long as I can meet them, I can get some clues about the past. Ye Yichen said seriously.

"But..."

Li Mengluan had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Ye Yichen's words.

"Mengluan, I know what you want to say. But when you think about it, they are all fishermen, and the Apocalypse Sea is the place they have lived on for so many years. Do you think they will leave easily? There are not many villages along the Apocalypse Sea, as long as you inquire carefully, you will definitely be able to find them. ”

Qing Ling nodded when he heard this, and said, "What Ye Gongzi said is indeed true, and only the descendants of those villagers know what happened at the beginning, so it is indeed necessary for us to meet with them." ”

"I don't mean to object, it's just that I don't know enough to ask those questions. Now that you've made your decision, let's go. Li Mengluan hurriedly said, afraid that the two of them would misunderstand what they meant.

Ye Yichen and Qing Ling both smiled, and were infected by Li Mengluan's innocent and pure heart.

The three of them searched for the existence of the village along the seashore, and every time they passed through the village, they asked the villagers about the whereabouts of the remnants of Jinsha Village, but the answer they gave was simply to shake their heads.

After traveling to more than a dozen villages and going through a lot of twists and turns, the three of them finally got a definite message.

Five miles further from here was the village where they were now. A septuagenarian woman said.

The three of them hurried on their way, and finally came to the front of the village before the sun went down on this day.

The sudden visit of the three alarmed the village chief, a middle-aged man in his fifties with kind eyebrows.

"Here is the village chief here, his name is Ye Chuan, you are here to stay overnight?"

"Ye Village is good, under the name Ye Yichen, these two heroines are Qingling and Li Mengluan. We are here today to ask the village chief about something. ”

"Then come to my house. ”

Ye Chuan seemed to be accustomed to receiving these visitors who came to "ask questions", and there was no displeasure on his face, and he was still smiling.

What the three of them didn't notice was a helpless look flashing on Ye Chuan's face, as if he was reluctant to receive the three of them, which looked very strange.

In Ye Chuan's mind, what came to mind at this moment was what happened last night.

Someone knocked on his door in the middle of the night, and Ye Chuan had no idea how he had sneaked into the house. Although the fear of the unknown made Ye Chuan a little masterless, he still sent the gods to the ground

The door was opened.

I saw a mysterious man in a dark robe and a mask standing in front of him, completely unable to see each other's faces in the dark night.

The man didn't greet him or hurt him in any way. He just took out a piece of jade pendant that emitted a dark purple light from his arms, and the jade pendant was in the shape of a hook jade, like half of the Taiji diagram.

The moment he saw the jade pendant, Ye Chuan suddenly remembered the relics left to him by his father before he passed away and those extremely serious confessions.

His father handed him a dark purple jade pendant engraved with a strange pattern like a rune.

"Chuan'er, this is a token that has been passed down from generation to generation from the hands of the village chief more than 400 years ago, and it is only kept by the direct descendants of the Ye family. This jade pendant is in the shape of a magatama, which proves that it has another half. The ancestor said that the other half was in the hands of my Ye family's greatest benefactor. If, one day, the owner of the other half of the jade pendant comes to visit, you must do your best to fulfill any of his requests. Although there has been no news of a benefactor for 400 years, I believe that he will appear one day. ”

"I see. Father, the benefactor you spoke of was 500 years ago..."

Without waiting for Ye Chuan to finish speaking, his father nodded.

"That is the eternal shame of the Ye family. Chuan'er, remember, you must be strict with yourself in the future, and you must not neglect the education of your children and grandchildren's virtues, and the tragedy of five hundred years ago must not happen again in my Ye family. ”

After a short memory, Ye Chuan came back to his senses, and he hurriedly took out half of his jade pendant from a locked box in the room, and asked the mysterious man for his jade pendant, and put it in one place to examine it carefully.

When Ye Chuan spliced the two jade pendants together, a complete pattern appeared in front of him, like a magnificent palace.

After Ye Chuan returned the jade pendant to the mysterious man, he knelt down in front of him reverently.

"I don't know if the benefactor came, I missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness. If you have any instructions, please come, and you will do it immediately. ”

The mysterious man spoke at this point, his voice low and magnetic, exuding a peculiar charm.

"Tomorrow, if a man or two women come to visit and ask about the ins and outs of the incident in Jinsha Village five hundred years ago, there is no need to have any scruples or concealments, and tell them everything you know. However, we must not reveal the identity of our family, and we must be cautious when talking to them. ”

Seeing that he no longer continued to command, Ye Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Just do this one thing, the benefactor has no other needs?"

Ye Chuan obviously didn't think that the things that his benefactor explained would be so simple.

"Just do this one thing, when the couple sacrificed their lives to save the villagers, they never thought of anything in return. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, we will always remember the kindness of your family. I'll take care of this, so don't worry. ”

Ye Chuan lowered his head and finished saying this, but when he raised his head again, he found that the figure of the mysterious person had disappeared, like a scene in a dream.

Ye Chuan looked up at the night sky and sighed.

"The ugly things that the Ye family did back then still have to be made public after all. ”

Ye Chuan took the three of them to his house and entered the hall to sit down.

"What do you want to inquire about? Ye Chuan Xiang three at this time

The man asked.

Ye Yichen hurriedly replied: "Although it is a little presumptuous, may I ask if the village chief is a descendant of the villagers of Jinsha Village five hundred years ago?"

"That's right, did you come this time to ask about the incident that happened in Jinsha Village five hundred years ago? Ye Chuanzheng said.

"Why does the village chief know our purpose?" Li Mengluan interjected at this time, with a look of surprise on his face.

"This girl is so innocent, you must know that many people have visited this village for the same purpose in the last five hundred years. Most of them are compilers of history books, and everyone in the world wants to know the truth about Wushuang's disappearance five hundred years ago. But our Ye family didn't say a word for two reasons. First, we don't really know the full story, because the surviving Ye family escaped from Jinsha Village before Wushuang disappeared. Second, this incident involved the Ye family's most disgraceful experience, and no one was willing to make this past public. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Chuan sighed deeply.

Li Mengluan was shocked again when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Don't you know how Wushuang disappeared?"

Ye Yichen showed a slight hint of reproach on his face, and said to Li Mengluan: "Mengluan, you can't be so unreasonable. ”

Li Mengluan's face was slightly red, and she didn't say anything anymore.

Seeing this, Ye Chuan smiled and said, "The little girl is right, the reason for Wushuang's disappearance is a mystery to us. ”

After hearing this, Li Mengluan's face immediately changed, and his disappointed expression was undoubtedly revealed.

Seeing Li Mengluan's expression on his face, Ye Chuan asked curiously, "Can you tell me the reason why you want to know the truth?" After all, you don't look like the compilers of those history books or miscellaneous talks. ”

"Our friend suddenly and mysteriously disappeared some time ago, and after investigation, we suspect that the disappearance of Musou five hundred years ago has something to do with it. Ye Yichen replied with a serious face.

"I see. I'm sorry, but I don't really know anything about Mushuang's disappearance. Now I can only tell you what happened in Jinsha Village, I don't know if you are willing to listen to the nagging. ”

Li Mengluan obviously has little interest in listening to stories, and now she just wants to quickly find Xuantian's whereabouts. But she didn't dare to refuse on her own, so she looked at Ye Yichen and Qingling with an inquiring eye.

Qing Ling's eyes at this time obviously revealed a strong interest, she had not opened her mouth to say half a word, but at this time she lightly opened her lips and said, "Please tell us about it." ”

Ye Chuan bowed his head and began to talk about everything that happened in Jinsha Village five hundred years ago.

When Wushuang led the Demon Domain army to attack Jinsha Village, it was around midnight. The people in the village were resting, and Wushuang led the army to kill. The villagers were unprepared, and about seventy percent died in a daze before they could escape.

At that time, the only people in the village who were proficient in martial arts and spells were a couple who were disciples of Shangwutang. They were the first to react, but they did not flee quickly with their own skills. The kind-hearted couple chose to do their best to cover the escape of the villagers, and entrusted their five-year-old son to the village chief's family, hoping that these people could take good care of him.

The brave couple then fought to the death against the Demon Army, giving the surviving villagers precious time to flee for their lives. However, after all, the strength of the husband and wife is limited, and they can't resist for long, and they both sacrifice without a cup of tea.
