Chapter 9: Secrets
When Shen Yan woke up again, he was in a walking carriage.
Changsheng was the first to see her open her eyes, and he couldn't help but bend his eyebrows with a little joy: "Sister Yan, are you awake?"
Hearing her words, Qiuluo, who was originally sitting in a corner, also walked over, touched Shen Yan's forehead, and said with a sigh of relief: "The fever has finally subsided." Ah Yan, do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Shen Yan shook his head, and his voice was hoarse and weak when he spoke: "What's wrong with me?"
As soon as she finished asking, she suddenly remembered what she had heard earlier.
Seeing her suddenly froze, Changsheng couldn't help but get closer and asked with some concern, "What's the matter, Sister Ah Yan?"
Shen Yan pursed his lips and didn't speak, outside Cangming opened the car door and came in, seeing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Awake?"
Shen Yan looked at him sideways, with complexity in his eyes, but he was also silent and did not make a sound.
"What I said to Brother Bai before is true. Cangming said as he walked over and sat down on the side. At the same time, he also removed a thick-looking letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is the news found on the ninth floor." ”
Changsheng and Qiuluo sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, the latter quietly stepped aside, and the former blinked and fell silent without asking anything.
The ninth floor is a relatively powerful organization in the rivers and lakes, and it is not clear how many people are in the building, but everyone is named after numbers. However, although the name of the ninth floor was taken, none of the names of the people in the building were related to the nine.
Su Qing, the lord of the ninth floor, is said to be a beautiful woman with a beautiful complexion, but because he rarely appears in front of people, no one knows whether this is true or not.
Shen Yan had never heard of the ninth floor before, but after being rescued by Cangming, she would hear Qiuluo tell her some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and sometimes mention some sect organizations that are now famous, including the existence of the ninth floor.
Although the letter handed over by Cangming only said where it came from and did not mention what was written in it, Shen Yan was already able to guess what was inside.
She trembled and took out the letter inside, it was indeed a thick stack, and it was written in great detail the ins and outs of the Shen family's destruction except for her, and at the end she also mentioned a word to be more careful.
The Tulip Knight set his sights on the Shen family for the Jade of the Remnant Snow, but now he didn't get what he wanted from others, so Shen Yan, as the only living mouth of the Shen family, was naturally the target they wouldn't let go.
Previously, they were tracking Shen Baichuan, and they did not act rashly because of the name of the ghost doctor, but this did not mean that they would not make another move.
"Father is serious, he abandoned my ......." Shen Yan looked at the letter and said, Shen Baichuan arranged for the Dragon King Whip Seventh Master he had saved, and they took Shen Yan to attract the attention of the Tulip Knight. Unexpectedly, the idea of beating the Jade of the Remnant Snow was not just the Tulip Knight, the Seventh Master and they were stopped by the Zodiac, which exposed the truth of their voices.
Shen Baichuan himself did not escape, and was finally burned by fire in the Shen Mansion. Mrs. Shen and her eldest son Shen Mo, who took the first step, did not escape, the former died under the sword of the Tulip Knight, and the latter was forced to jump off the cliff.
Shen Yan looked at these, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help falling. The anxious Changsheng was a little confused: "Sister Yan, you, don't cry......"
Qiuluo pulled Changsheng and held her in his arms so as not to disturb Shen Yan again, although he didn't know what the specific situation was, but he could also hear from the words of Cangming and Shen Yan Fangcai that it was definitely not a good thing. At this time, it is best to ask Shen Yan to cry for a while to vent himself.
Cangming also didn't intend to comfort people at all, and picked up the tea that was put aside and drank it with great interest.
"It's a good acquaintance. I told Master Su to ask her to go and collect the bones of your parents and send them back to Jiuyuan. As for your brother, he jumped off the cliff of death, but ordinary people are not going down. When I return from Taixuan Mountain, I'll go and see it myself. ”
The cliff of the past is located in the territory of Helan, which is a deep cliff covered with miasma. The cliff wall has no vertical strength, and no one knows how deep it is. Taking the name of rebirth means that if a person falls, he will die directly and will have no chance of survival.
Shen Yan just grabbed the letter paper, pursed his lips and wept silently. Changsheng and Qiuluo, who were infected by the sad aura around them, couldn't help frowning.
After a long time, I heard her speak and say thank you, sir.
Cangming put down the teacup and said, "Left and right are just a matter of one sentence." But what are you going to do next?"
Shen Yan hung her head a little dazed, she didn't know where she could go or what she could do after her family was all dead.
Qiuluo looked at it for a long time, and finally spoke: "Sir, since Ah Yan has already encountered such a thing. No, why don't you be a companion with me...... "Although she herself is also an orphan, but she was abandoned by her parents since she was a child, and then she was lucky enough to meet Mr. after worry-free food and clothing, although it sounds like Cangming's maid, in fact, Cangming walks outside all the year round, and there is not much time to return to the small building, and there is no shortage of money in ordinary times, and no one bothered her for the sake of the face of the ghost doctor, and she is much more comfortable than many young ladies.
However, a maid is only a maid after all, and she cannot go beyond the master to call the shots. Therefore, when he spoke, Qiuluo said very hesitantly.
Cangming said indifferently: "If Miss Shen is willing, it doesn't matter. The small building on the left and right is still quite big, and a few more people can live in it. ”
When Shen Yan heard this, she couldn't help but look up at Cangming: "Sir, why would you help me so much?" She believed that no one in this world would be good to another person for no reason, and at first she was nervous and listened to Cangming's words that she had a relationship with her father, but later it seemed that this so-called friendship was actually just that Shen Baichuan was still Situ when he was called into the palace to treat the emperor by the emperor, and it failed.
Hearing this, Cangming sneered: "I never need a reason for what I want to do." "Otherwise, how did the world say that his temperament is uncertain?
"Your injuries are almost healed. But that day, I came into contact with Guan Mo'er and was poisoned by him, and this time I happened to go to Taixuan Mountain, and I had to use the fog hidden flower there as a medicine to detoxify. These days, I have been cultivating well. Don't overthink it. ”
After saying this, Cangming walked over and picked up Changsheng and said, "Didn't Xiao Changsheng say that it was boring in the carriage yesterday?
Changsheng looked at Shen Yan, then at Qiuluo, and saw that she nodded to himself, so he wrapped his arms around Cangming's neck and nodded repeatedly: "Okay." But where did Master go today?"
The two of them said as they got out of the carriage.
In the car, Qiuluo sent a warm cup of tea to Shen Yan: "Ah Yan, the deceased is gone, let's mourn and change." Since you are still alive, you should live well, and don't worry the dead. ”
"Will they still worry about me?" Shen Yan's gaze was a little hollow, his father had already decided to exchange her life for their safety and abandoned her, would he really worry about her?
Qiuluo pursed her lips and didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she couldn't help but sigh softly, and then fell silent.
The carriage kept moving forward. Outside, there would be the sound of Changsheng's laughter and the sound of talking to Cangming.
Shen Yan couldn't help but be a little envious of her.
She didn't know what the origin of Changsheng was, but she had a master who was very fond of her, and even the ghost doctor Cangming, who was notoriously difficult to get along with, treated her very well.
And herself, how happy she was in the past ten years, and now when she encounters a big change, her father's choice is so chilling.
However, her parents and brother have doted on her for many years, isn't it good that she can do something for them with her own life?
Thinking about it, Shen Yan couldn't help but cry again. Worried about disturbing the autumn fall, she covered her mouth and didn't even dare to make any movement.
She thought that she was lucky to be at the bottom, and when she had nothing, she could still meet Cangming, Qiuluo, and Changsheng......
In the cultivation world, Taixuan Mountain is a big school with the same name as Changlan Mountain and Tianyu Mountain. It is located at the intersection of Qingyun Prefecture and Yanling Prefecture in Dafu China. Below it were ordinary mountain ranges, but the sect base was hidden above the void, and ordinary people couldn't see or touch it. Only by being guided by the people in the sect can you step into it.
And Bai Zhi and the others, who were also cultivators, naturally did not have this concern, and calmly led Shen Yan and the others through the blinding formation and stepped on the stone steps outside the sect of Taixuan Sect.
In the cultivation world, if there are 100,000 urgent matters, in order to show politeness and respect, they will not directly fly to the center of other sects with the method of freeing their bodies, but will walk into it outside the mountain gate.
The more than 9,000 stone steps will open the trial formation when testing the disciples, making it very difficult for those who step on the steps to walk. However, when you usually receive visitors, it depends on how well the guests are cultivated.
Those who have cultivated to a high level can reach the top of the mountain in a matter of moments, and those who have cultivated to a high level will take a little more time.
Shen Yan followed Bai Zhi and they originally thought that they would have to walk up such a high stone step by step, but they didn't expect that it was only a few blinks of an eye, and a towering gate had already appeared in front of them.
There was already a young man wearing a blue and white Taoist uniform standing there, and when he saw someone coming, he saluted and said, "Huai Jin has seen two seniors and three girls. The family teacher ordered me to wait here and lead the way to Feiyu Peak for you. ”
Even though Shen Yan was still immersed in the bad news of the death of his relatives, at this moment, when he saw the style of Xianmen for the first time, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked, and even Qiuluo, who had a calm personality, was looking at the islands and giant swords around him with curiosity.
The demeanor of the two of them was not ridiculed by anyone, and Cangming said with some surprise after the young man who called himself Huai Jin spoke: "Mo Feiyu actually accepted an apprentice?"
Huai Jin's personality was a little restrained, but when he heard this, he still replied: "Huai Jin was taken in by the master seven years ago. In addition to me, Senior Brother Huaiyu is also registered under the Master's seat. ”
Bai Zhi is not a character who chatters with people when he has nothing to do, so Changsheng is not very clear about what kind of person Mo Feiyu is. At this time, when he heard Cangming ask like this, he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Senior Mo still said that he would not accept apprentices?"
"Not really. Cangming shook his head and said as he walked forward: "She has always been either in retreat or on the way to retreat. In the past, several Taixuan masters had mentioned that she should accept an apprentice to inherit the mantle, but she refused. ”
The main venues within the sect were equipped with teleportation formations, so before they could say a few words, Huai Jin had already said, "Feiyu Peak has arrived. ”
