This is a quiet bamboo forest in the back mountain, and few people come here to disturb it on weekdays. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly, rustling footsteps sounded, breaking the silence of the bamboo forest.

Pushing aside the withered yellow branches that poked out, Zhou Zhihao said softly: "This is it." ”

In front of him is a tombstone, which is simply engraved with the four characters "Chen Yuan's tomb", but does not leave the name and surname of the person who erected the monument.

There are three residual incense sticks in front of the stele, and there are only a few fallen leaves on the ground, so it can be seen that there are often people worshipping and cleaning here.

Chen Yuan looked at all this in front of him a little speechlessly, and asked Zhou Zhihao, "Can you tell me what is going on?"

Zhou Zhihao glanced at Chen Yuan and explained to him: "Hmm, Master Fan had an accident back then, and then you disappeared, and then the news came that Feng Yiming was assassinated and there was a riot in the Spirit Refining Gate. ”

"That's right, I did it. Chen Yuan nodded and generously admitted the matter.

"Well, that's what we've all guessed in private," Mr. Zhou continued, "but after that, there was no new news." ”

"We are all very worried about you, and Senior Sister Yun, who seems to be particularly remorseful, once planned to go to the Spirit Refining Gate alone to find out your whereabouts. ”

It's just that before leaving, she leaked the news, and then she was locked up by the sect master, and she has not been released until today. ”

"Is Miss Yao okay?" Chen Yuan suddenly interjected and asked.

Senior Brother Zhou hesitated: "I don't know much about this, but the sect master is her father after all, and Senior Sister Yun should just be restricted from freedom or something." ”

Chen Yuan was silent, and after a moment, he sighed and motioned for Senior Brother Zhou to continue.

"Originally, this matter dragged on like this, and everyone never gave up their efforts to find you, as far as I know, the disciples who went down the mountain to train in those years have been told by the teachers to have an extra task, that is, to inquire about your whereabouts. ”

"But then, a very strange thing happened. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's heart lifted, and he understood that what Zhou Zhihao said next was probably the reason why he was recognized as dead.

I only heard Senior Brother Zhou say there: "One morning in May last year, the twenty-seventh assigned disciples guarding the mountain suddenly heard a soft sound from behind the stone carvings at the mountain gate, which seemed to be something on the ground. ”

Zhou Zhihao subconsciously glanced at Chen Yuan's right hand, and then said: "At that time, several mountain guarding disciples quickly looked around, but they didn't find any clues, so they reported the matter to the high-level people in the assignment. ”

"This severed arm also had a storage ring on its finger, and then Ling Daozun took action and forcibly erased the prohibition on the ring. ”

"When I opened it to check, I didn't find any information that could confirm the identity of the arm's owner, but in the corner of the storage space, I found a few scattered spirit runes. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan already roughly understood what was going on, but he still patiently listened to Senior Brother Zhou continue.

"According to the refining technique of this spirit rune, Ling Daozun has determined that it is from our Yingtian Sect Master Peak, and the owner of this arm is likely to be a disciple of our Yingtian Sect. ”

"The stakes are very high, this arm was quickly sent to Lian Tianfeng, and it was later identified by someone - Prince Su and I were also found, and we recognized that the storage ring was the one you used to use before, so the owner of this arm is naturally ......"

Knowing the cause and effect, Chen Yuan nodded clearly and asked, "So you are sure of my death?"

"Well, although it is difficult to accept it, neither we nor the elders think that you have met with misfortune. ”

"Before this incident, a skirmish broke out between our sect and the Spirit Refining Sect, and some elders analyzed that this arm was taken out by the people of the Spirit Refining Sect to demonstrate. ”

Chen Yuan pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "No, if you really want to demonstrate, it will be more deterrent to take out a head, just an arm, if you are negligent, I really don't understand what is going on." ”

"We have also considered this," Zhou Zhihao explained, "but some people have seen it from afar, on the day when the riot broke out in the Spirit Refining Gate, the sky above the mountain gate changed color, and the elders guessed that it was Mahayana who acted angrily, so it is likely to ......."

Senior Brother Zhou secretly glanced at Chen Yuan, and his words became slurred.

Seeing Senior Brother Zhou's hesitant look, Chen Yuan understood what was going on, and explained: "Don't be taboo, I won't mind, just say it." ”

"Oh......" Glancing at Chen Yuan again, to make sure that he really didn't care about this matter, Zhou Zhihao continued, "The elders suspect that you were beaten to pieces by the Mahayana monks on the spot, leaving only such an arm to be put away by the people of the Spirit Refining Sect, and then left for today's Fang to come in handy......"

Now it makes sense, Chen Yuan felt a little funny in his heart, in order to find a reasonable way to die for himself, these elders in the sect really took great pains.

At this time, Senior Brother Zhou finally couldn't help but ask in doubt: "Senior Brother Chen, where have you been all these years, and what is going on with that arm?"

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Among them, it's a long story......

Chen Yuan knew where that arm came from, and Chen Yuan also remembered very well this time period in May last year - it was the day when he first arrived in the Western Continent.

That day, he lost his hands as he did with all his might, blasting the space debris and crashing into the plane barrier.

It is estimated that in the chaos, this is the right arm that entered this world with him.

It's just that that small gap at that time corresponded to the entire world, and unlike himself, the separated arm happened to fall on the side of the twenty-seventh faction, and it turned out to be this oolong.

Chen Yuan briefly recounted his experience after going down the mountain, and listened to Senior Brother Zhou's eyes.

I only heard him exclaim: "I didn't expect that there would be such a magical place as a dimensional rift outside of our world, by the way, Senior Brother Chen, if you broke through the plane barrier at that time and went to another world, what would happen?"

"What will happen?" Chen Yuan smiled disapprenosingly, "I guess I won't be able to come back, at that time, for people in this world, I will be no different from really dead." ”

While talking, the two walked out, and at this time, Senior Brother Zhou suddenly paused, turned around and looked, and asked hesitantly: "Senior Brother Chen, do you want to ...... this tombstone?"

Chen Yuan understood what Zhou Zhihao meant, but he just smiled freely: "Why are you ruined, compared with the vastness of the world, life is only a short moment in the world, keep it, there is always a time to use......"
