13, the deceased
However, how can it be so easy to find someone in the huge cultivation realm, plus Lu Bowen and Chen Ling'er don't have much contact in private, every time they just want to go on a date, they will be disturbed by Senior Sister Qingyun, so they don't know much about each other, and they know very few clues, and they are like headless flies for two days in a row, doing useless work.
On the third day, Lu Bowen suddenly remembered something: "Senior, why don't we go to Lotus Lake to find it." ”
"Lotus Lake?" Du Yushang was a little stunned, Lotus Lake, that place was like Phoenix Fall Valley to her, full of unpleasant and even painful memories.
Lu Bowen thought that this old-timer didn't know about Lotus Lake, so he hurriedly explained: " There is a lotus peak next to the station of the sect, there is a big lake at the foot of the lotus peak is the lotus lake, more than a thousand years ago there was a lotus flower cultivated here into a human form, so this lake is called the lotus lake, but more than 600 years ago, the lotus essence because of the charm of human monks, absorb the essence of the monks, create too many killings, so it was killed by the ancestors of the younger generations, the soul is destroyed, but its body is retained, it is not born and does not die, and the lotus flower in the lake also blooms all year round, never withered. Senior Sister Ling'er has always wanted me to accompany her to see the Lotus Lake, but she has not been able to make the trip by mistake, so she ran away from home this time, and it is very likely that she will go to Lotus Lake. ”
"Fake!" Du Yushang said faintly.
Lu Bowen was a little confused, and he didn't understand what Du Yushang was talking about for a while.
Du Yushang said abruptly: "She didn't absorb people's spirit, what she said to charm human monks to absorb essence, it was a crime to add to it, she has never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, the only mistake is probably that Chengtian is lucky to give birth to such a holy thing as the Nine Trick Lotus Root, do you know, the Nine Trick Lotus Root can prolong her life for three hundred years, and your ancestor actually killed her for those three hundred years of longevity." ”
She couldn't help but think of the day when the Lotus Lake changed, she knelt in front of Shizun, hugged his leg and begged him to spare Bai He, that is the Taoist companion of the senior brother, the senior brother and the white lotus have been in love for hundreds of years, if the white lotus dies, how can the senior brother live alone, as long as the master is willing to let go of the white lotus, she is willing to give up her longevity to supply the master.
What did Master Venerable say that day?
He said, "I have pampered you on a daily basis, giving you what you want, but now when it comes time for you to give back to me, why are you reluctant?
Then, the master fixed everyone and dug out the nine-trick lotus root from Bai He's body alive, just because the effect of taking it alive would be better.
Bai Lotus died on the spot, and only a piece of his body remained in the Lotus Lake, never withering.
The senior brother was grief-stricken, and immediately disarmed himself, turned into stumps and fell into the lotus lake, becoming the nourishment for the remnants of the white lotus.
Therefore, those beautiful and undefeated lotus flowers in the eyes of the world are all grown up by absorbing the flesh and blood essence of the senior brother and the white lotus.
Lu Bowen was shocked when he heard this, inexplicably, he felt that what Du Yushang said was the truth of the matter, although this truth sounded too cruel.
"How did the seniors know this?"
Du Yushang smiled miserably and said: "Not only do I know this, but I also know that the Taoist companion of the lotus essence is your uncle, so in fact, the lotus essence is your aunt." ”
"After listening to what my predecessors said, I don't really want to go to Lotus Lake, it's weird. Lu Bowen touched his shoulder and shivered.
Du Yushang said with a smile: "Go, why don't you go, the sacrifice of the predecessors is to warn future generations, don't repeat the mistakes of the past, you should go to pay tribute to the elders of the same family." ”
The tragic situation of the senior brother and Bai He was indeed a wake-up call for Du Yusheng, and later she was secretly married to the knot, and because of this, when the master tore his face and wanted to use her as a Ding furnace, she was able to turn the tables unexpectedly, but it was a pity that the senior brother and Bai He, because of the three hundred years of life lost their lives, but the master had no blessings, and went underground to make amends for their husband and wife in less than a hundred years.
"How could a senior know so much about the past?" Lu Bowen intuitively felt that this senior was related to his master, otherwise he would not be so clear about those past secrets.
Du Yushang smiled evilly, and his voice suddenly became weird: "Of course I know, because I am your uncle~"
Lu Bowen was so frightened that his face turned white, and the "little chick" he was holding in his arms couldn't throw it, and it wasn't if he didn't throw it.
"Hey, you're afraid of ghosts!" Du Yushang laughed to death: "There are monks who are afraid of ghosts!"
Lu Bowen argued with a white face: "What's so funny about being afraid of ghosts, fear comes from the unknown, isn't it scary to be formless and substantial?"
Du Yushang said: "Ghosts are not formless and substantial, when the evil spirit is combined with the wandering remnant soul, it will produce ghosts, the more complete the soul of the remnant soul, the more complete the consciousness of the ghost, the ghost with a complete consciousness can practice exclusive exercises, and then become a ghost cultivator, so, what is there to be afraid of ghosts? If you really want to talk about terrible, it is better to be terrible than ghost cultivation." ”
Although the truth is like this, he is still afraid, this is something that cannot be helped, Lu Bowen didn't want to continue to discuss the topic of ghosts, so he slapped the magic talisman and rushed to Lotus Lake with a sullen head.
Returning to his hometown, Du Yushang couldn't help but fall silent, immersed in his thoughts, and handed over the work of finding people and clues to Lu Bowen.
In half a day, Lu Bowen looked around Lotus Lake, and he really found a clue.
To be precise, anyone who comes can find clues, because people have put clues in the most conspicuous position, as long as they are not blind, they can find them.
A hairpin and a handkerchief with writing on it. The hairpin nailed the handkerchief to the treetop of the tallest tree on the shore of the Lotus Lake, and whenever the wind blew, the handkerchief would swagger, as if there was a pretty woman standing below who would shout "Uncle is here to play".
Lu Bowen used the body method to add props, and it took some effort to take off the handkerchief and hairpin, after identification, these two things should be Chen Ling'er's, the hairpin foot of the hairpin is engraved with the word "Ling", and the corner of the handkerchief is also embroidered with the word "Ling", and then look at the blood-colored message on the handkerchief: Chen Tianxing (Hongming Daojun)'s life for Chen Ling'er's life, fifteen days later, Phoenix Fall Valley, the Demon King left a word.
That's the big guy who has been working against Chongxian Sect for hundreds of years and hasn't been wiped out!
This kidnapper is famous and has a bigger mouth. Hongming Daojun's change of Qi refining period to a little monk is really beautiful.
Lu Bowen's mission to find people has barely been completed at this point, and the Demon Lord has made a move, and the matter is not something that a small foundation building period monk like him can solve. However, since it was the Demon Lord's hand, Senior Sister Ling'er would not suffer much until the last moment, and a Yuan Infant Boss like the Demon Monarch should not be able to do anything to embarrass the little cultivator of the Qi Refining Period, it is too cheap.
Lu Bowen brought the handkerchief and hairpin back to the sect, presented them to his master Hongming Daojun, and explained the ins and outs clearly.
After Hongming Daojun saw the words, his expression changed several times, and the thin handkerchief was almost crushed by him.
Five hundred years ago, he used this method to lure his sister Chilian Witch to the Phoenix Fall Valley, and finally killed her in one fell swoop, and now, with the same means and the same place, the bait has become his daughter.
And he is not the stupid junior sister back then.
