Chapter 14: The Past
Valley of Ghosts.
The moon of the last quarter.
To the west of Xianyun Ridge, there is a deep depression, dense forests, and extremely deep. The starry sky is full of light, as if shrouded in a layer of silver halo, which is a bit wonderful.
On a boulder, the clothes are fluttering, and Qin Chuan stands in the wind.
Although I came to this ghost valley once before, the situation was critical at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it. In the shadows, the grass and trees moved, unknown insects hissed endlessly, and from time to time there were a few birds whispering, and the beasts howled lonely, which was also a little terrifying.
"The four seasons are like spring, but you don't see the light of day?"
With a groan in his heart, Qin Chuan's eyebrows frowned slightly.
The place that Aroye was talking about was not exact, and it was even like a mystery that had to be solved by itself. The huge Valley of Ghosts, but I don't know where to find it.
"Whew!"
With a flash of light, Qin Chuan rushed into the dense forest without hesitation.
Although the stars and moon were bright above, it was still pitch black under the overlapping mountains. Thorns and weeds are everywhere, and even ghost fires are inexplicably ignited from time to time, like a ghostly netherworld.
"How can this Ghost Valley have such a heavy Yin Qi?"
Walking in the forest, Qin Chuan couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Last time, I was evading the pursuit, and I didn't notice anything in a hurry, but this time I came to find the Demon Baby Flower, and after careful investigation, I made such a shocking discovery.
And, the more you go somewhere, the stronger the smell becomes.
"Could it be that it has something to do with the Demon Baby Flower?"
There was a doubt in his heart, and suddenly, Qin Chuan's divine sense quickly spread, and he was constantly searching for the source of that yin qi. Immediately, his figure flashed, and he instantly rushed towards a certain place.
A pine forest, rocky.
After walking here, Qin Chuan suddenly stopped.
The mind sensed it, but it suddenly sacrificed the dragon's back, and the true yuan qi quickly dispersed, cautiously taking precautions. Guy has one of the breaths, which is very weird, and even has the feeling of true yuan.
"Ghostcraft?"
Surprised, Qin Chuan was a little shocked.
In this western frontier, how can there be the ghost magic atmosphere of the Central Plains Ghost Valley?
Suddenly, a black gas appeared out of thin air, permeating more than once, accompanied by a few clouds of dark blue ghost fire shining for a moment, and a figure actually appeared, sitting casually among the chaotic rocks not far in front of Qin Chuan. But it was a handsome man, dressed in red, but there was always a sense of nothingness.
Soul?!
"After all these years, there are still people coming. ”
The man sat cross-legged on a rock and smiled at Qin Chuan, but there was a little confusion in his smile. There is a very mysterious aura all over the body, but it doesn't seem to have any malice.
"Who are you?"
Qin Chuan asked, taking a few steps forward.
"Before I died, I was a maple envoy of the Holy Witch Cult. ”
The man in red sighed with a little regret, and then said, "Now, it's nothing, it's just a wisp of remnant soul, don't worry, I can't pose a threat to you." ”
Maple makes?
Qin Chuan was stunned in his heart. After finding out that the other party was indeed just a wisp of remnant soul and did not have any strength, he also relaxed. That aura of the true element of ghost magic did not belong to him.
"Where did you get from?" the man asked.
"Yes. ”
"Since you can enter the Valley of the Spirits, you must have seen coral, right?"
"The former sect leader is dead. ”
Qin Chuan responded, looking at this man, he has probably been dead for many years, and it is reasonable that he doesn't know anything about the outside world. However, when he heard Qin Chuan's words, the other party looked stunned, and he unconsciously shed a little sadness.
"Who killed her?" he asked faintly.
"You are a dead person, and you don't need to know. ”
After saying that, Qin Chuan didn't want to sue the other party about Luo Ye. Perhaps, in his heart, he is still worried that someone is not good for Ah Luoye, after all, he still doesn't know much about this matter of the Holy Witch Sect.
It is not clear whether this self-proclaimed former maple envoy is friend or foe.
"yes. ”
Hearing this, the man sighed, "If I hadn't met two Central Plains people at that time, one of whom helped me imprison my soul, I wouldn't have stayed until today." Perhaps, then, it should not have been left behind. ”
"Central Plains?"
Qin Chuan was suddenly startled. Could it be that the master and his friend?
Immediately, I heard the other party reply: "One is called Wuchenzi, and the other is called Soul Death, who came to my western Xinjiang to seek medicine, and met me who had just died in this pine forest." Speaking of which, I don't know if they found it later. ”
As he spoke, he stared at the red maple totem on Qin Chuan's robe.
"What is the relationship between you and my maple clan?"
"You tell me first, what is the purpose of your soul remaining to this day?"
Qin Chuan said in a deep voice, his eyes also fixed on the other party's body. It is certainly impossible for the souls that should have been dissipated to be left for decades to be done by the dustless people, so is the one called the "soul death" the senior who came to the Western Xinjiang some time ago? Moreover, the ghost art that the predecessor actually practiced?
This reminded Qin Chuan of the ghost who tried every possible way to get his soul.
"Since you are from my maple tribe, it doesn't hurt to sue you. ”
The man in red sighed and slowly told Qin Chuan about the past of the Holy Witch Sect.
It turned out that in order to ascend to the position of the leader of the Holy Witch Sect, Coral had married the prominent Xia family and married a cowardly and incompetent husband. And then gradually fell in love with the maple envoy, the two fornicated, in order not to be discovered, Coral even ruthlessly killed her husband, determined to elope with the maple envoy.
It's a pity that the maple envoy didn't agree because he was afraid of the Xia family. In the end, the two parted ways, and under the full of self-blame, the maple envoy committed suicide in the bamboo forest of the Valley of Ghosts.
"That night Coral gave birth to a daughter, but she was kidnapped by someone, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. If I had agreed, how could this have happened? Now, I can only regret it. ”
The man in red said slowly, already choked up.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan was silent.
In my heart, I suddenly had a rather terrible guess. Luo Wolf said that the former sect leader Coral had identified Arroye as the heir, so didn't that mean that Arroye might be Coral's missing daughter.
The Xia family is undoubtedly Lou Xia.
In other words, under the deception of Lou Xia, Aroye killed his mother with his own hands?!
Hopefully it's just speculation!
After calming down a little bit of a turbulent state of mind, Qin Chuan continued to listen to what the other party said.
"I remember the man of the Xia family, I used to laugh at him in front of the coral for his poor tricks and lack of leadership, and he was a cowardly and incompetent person;
As he spoke, the man in red raised his head and looked at Qin Chuan, and made a request:
"I wanted to wait for someone to convey my apologies to Coral, but now it seems that I don't need to. If possible, will you help me find my daughter with Coral?"
"Why should I help you?"
Qin Chuan said coldly.
Although the story of this former maple envoy is a bit miserable, it is also his own doing, and he can't talk about half pity. What's more, this has nothing to do with himself, and the purpose of his coming to Xijiang is only the Demon Baby Flower.
"Why did you come to the Valley of the Spirits? ”
The man in red said, as if he wanted to make a deal with Qin Chuan. But more than that, it's still a heartfelt plea. From this point of view, his heart is indeed full of guilt.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan hesitated for a long time.
"In this ghost valley, where the four seasons are like spring and there is no daylight, do you know?"
In the end, Qin Chuan still said what he wanted, and it could be regarded as agreeing to the other party's request. Perhaps, it is also because this matter may be inseparable from Aroye. The Xia family was wiped out by coral, and Lou Xia was a member of the Xia family, and the eight achievements that robbed the child were Lou Xia.
In this way, it is very likely that Aroye is the missing child.
In any case, he also worshipped heaven and earth with Aroye, a nominal husband and wife. After all the calculations, this matter has actually become his own family matter......
Shaking his head, Qin Chuan glanced at the man in red and listened to his answer.
"In the center of the Valley of Ghosts, there is a sacred tree that will never wither, and the flowers and plants around it are generally not thanked all year round, probably, it is the place where the four seasons are like spring. However, I don't understand what it means to see the light of day. If you go there and take a look, you might find out. ”
The man said, as if he saw Qin Chuan's disappointment, and couldn't help sighing:
"In the past twenty years, although someone has helped me retain my soul, I have not cultivated your Central Plains method, and this time I appeared, half an hour will disappear. Only you can help me. ”
"What are the characteristics of your missing daughter?"
Qin Chuan pursed his lips, and finally couldn't bear it for a while, and asked.
"I had left Coral when she was born, but I had secretly asked Coral's servant about a birthmark below her clavicle in her left shoulder, and I knew nothing else. ”
“......”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan was stunned.
The last time I was in Chiyou Mound, I had seen Aroye's body, but there was also a birthmark in that position. Could it really be Aroye?!
Qin Chuan couldn't help but pat his forehead, but he didn't know what it was.
"Got it. He replied lightly.
"If you find her, don't tell her about her background, as long as she's safe, I have no regrets. If you can, take care of her for me...... Thanks a lot. ”
"That's not what I'm supposed to do!"
He replied in a cold voice, but Qin Chuan turned around and prepared to go to the center of the Ghost Valley, "Your daughter is now the leader of the Holy Witch Sect, she is doing well, you can rest assured." ”
“...... Yes, did Coral find her?"
The man in red seemed shocked and hurriedly asked.
"Yes. ”
Unable to bear it in his heart, Qin Chuan lied. If she was told that Ah Luoye was sitting on the position of the leader of the Holy Witch Sect because she killed Sango, then she would be too cruel to a person who was dying.
Let him go in peace.
"That's good, that's good...... Be careful, someone's coming!"
The man in red sighed with some joy, but suddenly, he exclaimed.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan also sensed that something was wrong, and his mind quickly dispersed, probing the changes around him. There were several Gu arts-specific aura, rushing from the east, murderous, as if the target was himself. In a matter of moments, it was all around the pine forest.
The comer is not good!
