Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a family surnamed Ye rose in the Central Plains, starting as a businessman and accumulating a lot of wealth. However, despite its rise and fall, it is still standing.

Later, an ancestor entered the Confucian Garden to practice, got the true inheritance, and became famous. Since then, the Ye family has entered the realm of cultivation, with many talents, entering its heyday, and has never decayed.

Today's Ye family has a close relationship with the Confucian Garden, but it is independent, to put it bluntly, more than half of the wealth base of the Confucian Garden comes from the support of the Ye family. At the same time, there is no shortage of prominent heirs of the Ye family, whether in the world or in the realm of cultivation, they all have a pivotal position.

Zhongzhou, a city no less than Jingzhou, is named after the ancestor of the Ye family:

Anyang.

"Whew!"

At this time, the sky was high and crisp, and a flash of light crossed the sky.

Qin Chuan resigned from the Su family before dawn, set off from Jingzhou, and near noon, he had already arrived at the outskirts of Anyang City. That's a lot earlier than the expected arrival time.

Of course, it was not that Qin Chuan was so eager, but that he wanted to get rid of the person who was chasing after him.

"This Lin Zixuan, why is she on the same page with me again. ”

With a sigh, Qin Chuan's heart was full of helplessness.

Lin Zixuan of the Confucian Garden Yijian Pavilion, I don't know when she started staring at her, but the conversation between herself and Deng Yuanbo last night who disguised herself as a dark door person must have been heard by her. Of course, she may not know that she is the former Qin Chuan, but yesterday's posture of herself, anyone would be regarded as a person of the Demon Dao.

Moreover, he is an extremely dangerous master of the Dark Gate.

Presumably, this is also the reason why Lin Zixuan did not dare to make a rash move. But it was precisely because he was so secretly tracking and monitoring, and it was not good to make a move on her, which made Qin Chuan feel very troublesome.

What the people of Yijian Pavilion are good at is tracking and surveillance, and it is not easy to get rid of it.

"That's it, let her watch. ”

Shaking his head, Qin Chuan didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Based on what she saw and heard yesterday, Lin Zixuan would definitely not dare to make a move without permission, and if she summoned the people of Yijian Pavilion to besiege her, it would not be too late to plan at that time. Anyway, I already know about her existence.

Besides, she thought she didn't know.

After settling down, Qin Chuan focused his attention on the vast plains beneath the clouds. Wuchenzi said that the pear orchard was on the outskirts of Anyang City, but he didn't know which family it was in, but he secretly investigated, and he didn't care who the owner of the pear orchard was.

Soon, a forest fell into view.

The suburbs of Anyang are open and flat, with many fields and few forests, so it is easier to find. Somewhere in the southern suburbs, in a remote place, against a hill, is a pear orchard. The branches are luxuriant, and the green pears that are not yet ripe are hung.

However, it seems, is not left unattended.

"Huh?"

Qin Chuan had doubts in his heart, and the imperial sword landed straight down.

Sure enough, I saw that between this pear orchard, there were overgrown weeds, and there was a wooden house among them, but it had long been dilapidated, and it seemed that no one had cared for it for many years. This pear orchard has become a wild forest.

While walking, Qin Chuan's heart sank slightly.

"If it's an ordinary tree, it makes sense to leave it unattended. But how could such an orchard become such a desolate scene?

Mu Zihan said that the change of the pear orchard?!

Soon, Qin Chuan thought of something unpleasant, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

If this pear orchard is the pear orchard that Zihan said, and his guess is correct...... Once, Zihan's father was killed by many masters led by Jin Xuzi of Fuximen in this pear orchard, leaving terrifying rumors among the people, or obvious murder scenes, and no one cared about them.

Ordinary mortals are naturally afraid of such an event.

Otherwise, there is no other explanation.

"Hoo ......"

With a heavy breath, Qin Chuan walked towards the dilapidated house.

It was a wooden house, which looked to be decades old, in disrepair, with a collapsed roof, and a cobwebbed of dust, and the bottom of the collapse was blown into the soil by the wind, and overgrown with weeds.

But there were no clues.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Qin Chuan's eyes were suspicious.

I saw that behind the house, there were two simple tombs, close together, overgrown with weeds, and in front of each of them stood a wooden tombstone, which was so old that the handwriting on them was completely unclear. If it is correct, it must be the owner of this pear orchard or this house, and more likely, it is Zihan's closest relative.

Judging from the words of Jin Xuzi in the Forgetful Gorge at that time, the change in the pear orchard back then must have killed more than Mu seniors, otherwise, he would not have said such things that even Zihan didn't want to let go.

Thinking about it, Qin Chuan walked to the tomb and bowed.

Immediately, it was the strength of the mind that radiated, and he probed the two tombs.

"Empty grave?!"

Suddenly, Qin Chuan's face sank and he felt a little surprised.

There was nothing in these two tombs, no bones, no clothes, not even a coffin, not even two dirt bags piled up at random.

Perhaps, it is an empty tomb built by later generations in order to reminisce.

But who will it be?

Pursing his lips, Qin Chuan fell into deep thought. At this moment, I am not sure if this is the pear orchard of the year, and I am not sure who these two empty tombs belong to, the only thing that can be known is that what has definitely happened in this pear orchard.

"Well, let's go into the city first. ”

With thinking in his heart, Qin Chuan walked outside. When I arrived in the city, I asked who the owner of this pear orchard was, not to mention, I also promised the Su family to do something.

Unexpectedly, he visited the Ye family for this matter.

With a sigh in his heart, Qin Chuan followed the path in the forest and slowly walked out of the orchard. Not long after, I saw an ordinary man from the world, about twenty-five or sixteen, who was burning incense and worshipping at the exit outside the pear orchard. I didn't dare to set foot in the garden, but it was clear that the two empty tombs should be worshipped.

Who is this man?

Qin Chuan was a little puzzled. Perhaps, you can ask him.

I saw that the man burned incense and paper, and it took a while to find Qin Chuan, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, pointing at Qin Chuan and asked intermittently:

"You...... You come out of it, you come out......? Who are you?"

"Hoo ......"

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that something terrible had really happened in this pear garden, "Brother Tai, don't panic, he is a person who cultivates the truth, and he saw that it was strange here, so he came down to take a look." ”

"Cultivators?"

The man stared at Qin Chuan for a moment, and finally seemed to be relieved, and he was not surprised by the identity of the cultivator, he should have a little understanding of the affairs of the cultivator. Immediately, he bowed to Qin Chuan and asked, "I don't know where the immortal chief came from......?" But what did you find?"

"I've traveled all over the world, and I don't even mention it. ”

Qin Chuan waved his hand, but he was a little confused, "You don't know what happened in this pear orchard?" Also, you came here to worship, I don't know if you can tell me why?"

"It's a long story. ”

The man sighed, Qin Chuan is a person who cultivates the truth, and this pear orchard is not a secret, everyone knows it, and there is nothing that cannot be said, "About twenty years ago, I heard that there was a time when this pear orchard was shrouded in fog and lasted for three days and three nights, and then the people inside never came out, and they all said that they were dead." ”

"Dead?"

"Rumor has it that it goes. Later, I heard that the fog was poisonous, and it took several years before anyone dared to enter it, but after entering, the people who came out died one by one. ”

The man said, and seemed to have palpitations, "Everyone said that this pear orchard was haunted, and no one dared to enter it again." Now, it has been abandoned for more than ten years. ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan's heart sank.

This Zhongzhou is a peaceful place, it is impossible to have poisonous mist miasma and the like, the only possibility is man-made. And the so-called haunting, although it may be caused by the yin spirit, but such a large pear orchard is a big asset, and it is impossible for the wealthy families in the city to give up for no reason, and of course, they will also find people who cultivate the truth to get rid of the yin spirit.

However, it didn't.

Or they found someone to come, but it didn't work, but it was just a yin spirit, how could it have no effect. That is to say, it is not a ghost haunted at all, and someone is also doing it.

As long as the cultivators are scared away in a targeted manner, it won't take long for the news to spread, and no one will dare to care about it anymore. This must be the reason why this pear orchard has become what it is today!

Who, then, is to blame?

"I don't know who the former owner of this pear orchard was?"

Thinking about it, Qin Chuan asked.

"Oh, I heard that it used to be an external asset of the Ye family. I worked in the Ye family in the early years and served the second son until I became an adult. It was the second son who asked me to come here every month to worship. ”

"Ye Qiuqi?"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was surprised.

"Immortal Chief knows our second son?"

"Slightly familiar. ”

Qin Chuan responded lightly, thinking for a while in his heart.

Since it is said that this pear orchard belongs to someone outside the Ye family, then among those who died, there may be someone who Ye Qiuqi is familiar with, which is probably why he asked the man in front of him to come to worship every month. However, does this have anything to do with Zihan's father, who has come to this pear orchard with no dust?

It seems that even if it wasn't for Su Quan's entrustment, the Ye family would have to go through it themselves.

"The fairy is polite. ”

Qin Chuan's thoughts, the man didn't know, hearing that Qin Chuan and Ye Qiuqi were familiar with each other, he seemed to be a little excited, and respectfully made up a salute, "My name is Ade, I was sold to the Ye family, and I have served the second son since I was a child, and the second son only solved the contract for me after he went out to practice." Ade has today, thanks to the second son. ”

Qin Chuan smiled.

Unexpectedly, this person named Ade was Ye Qiuqi's former follower.

"I don't know what happened to the Immortal Chief's return to Anyang, I need Ade's help, just ask. ”

Ade continued, words of reverence.

He naturally knows what kind of character Ye Qiuqi is, and the people who can get acquainted with Ye Qiuqi are not ordinary people. Coupled with his respect and gratitude to Ye Qiuqi, he naturally also had great respect for Qin Chuan.

"Oh, I'm here this time to do something at the Ye family. ”

Qin Chuan responded. I am not familiar with Anyang, and it is not bad to have this Ade to help.
