Chapter 01: Clues
Spring rain continues.
A vast plain in the northeast of Zhongzhou seems a little dim at this time, the sky is gloomy, and the light rain lingers and falls. Although there is a slight cool breeze, it is not cold.
The peach and apricot are fragrant, and the petals are sprinkled in the muddy soil.
Outside Fengyu Town, a tea shop fell on the side of the road. A few people who were in a hurry stopped there, each with a cup of hot tea, chatting in twos and threes.
On the horizon, a few spring thunders sounded from time to time.
"Did you hear that a corpse floated down the Nasi River last night. One of them said this, and immediately aroused the interest of others. Among the ordinary people, men and women weave on weekdays, their lives are monotonous and ordinary, and they occasionally get a rare thing, which is naturally the stubble after tea and dinner.
"No," replied one of them, "I came out of the town in the morning, and I heard that many of the masters and gentlemen in the Confucian halls in the city had come, and it seemed that the identity of the man who had drifted down was not simple. ”
"Is that dead?"
"They all say it's a corpse, but naturally it's dead. ”
Everyone said a word, but no one noticed that a man wearing a hat in the corner seemed to move, and the hand holding the teacup froze. However, there was no movement after that.
"It's so easy to die. ”
I only heard a few people in the other corner say a word, and joined the discussion of everyone, "I heard that it is a person from the Confucian Garden in the city of Jingzhou, who knows the immortal law and has long been alive." ”
"It seems to be the case, didn't I hear that something happened in Yunmengze some time ago, this West River is drained from Yunmengze, maybe it is really the person who floated down from there. ”
"I don't think it's so mysterious, eighty percent of them are bluffing you. ”
"Yes, they all say immortal law and immortal law, but no one has ever seen it, right?"
“......”
The conversation continued, but the man with the hat had already stolen himself, picked up a long sword from the table, straightened his clothes, and walked out slowly.
Purpose, Wind and Rain Town.
......
Afternoon.
The light rain stopped, and a bright sun peeked out from the clouds.
Stepping into the wind and rain town, Qin Chuan took off the hat on his head, raised his head, and smiled faintly. The words of a few people in the tea shop naturally seemed a little ignorant to the ears of a person who cultivated truth.
Of course, ignorance is also a blessing.
"Perhaps, we can start with this matter. ”
With a decision in his heart, Qin Chuan took off his coat again and walked towards the Confucian Garden in the town. In the Xiuzhen world, the Confucian Garden is close to the world, and it is also the missionary holy place of the world's literary talents and scholars, with the inner garden and the outer garden, and almost all parts of the Central Plains have the territory of the Confucian Garden.
Although not anyone can set foot in it, his status as a disciple of Fuximen at this time has also brought a lot of convenience. Since it was a Confucian disciple who had an accident, it was most likely the Demon Sect's doing.
If you look it up like this, you may be able to find out.
"Yaoyao, it should be at Luoyan Peak. ”
While walking, Qin Chuan had some thoughts in his heart.
Yesterday, Ye Qiuqi and Shangguan Yao set off from Yunmengze and rushed to Luoyan Peak. And because he was trying to explore clues, his pace was a little slower, and he just came to this stormy town at this moment.
It's just that although he was worried in his heart, Zihan inexplicably joined the Dark Gate, and he also cultivated such a profound demonic path cultivation, he had to find it out. If he is held hostage and lured by the Dark Gate, he will definitely make the Dark Gate pay a heavy price, even if it is the Zihan Demon Barrier, he must ask for an understanding.
Qin Chuan understands the consequences of the demons confusing people better than anyone else.
Wind and rain town is not too big, and he stopped here with Shangguan Yao last time, so he is not a stranger. After walking for a while, they came to the outside of a hall.
Immediately, a Confucian student greeted him, but he was not disrespectful.
"Where did you come from?
"Fuximen, Qinchuan. ”
Qin Chuan replied simply, and naturally there was no greeting. It's just that, with this identity, it won't be too rude to come to Confucianism. The momentum of Fuximen is no worse than that of Confucianism.
"Brother Dao is polite. ”
Sure enough, just after saying Fuximen, the Confucian priest arched his fists and made up a salute. Seeing this, Qin Chuan could only hold his palm in front of his chest and salute back. In his heart, he didn't like these false courtesies, especially among his peers, how casual and relaxed it was with Ye Qiuqi.
However, the next Confucian student's face seemed to be a little unspeakable.
"There was an accident in the hall this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain Brother Dao. He said apologetically, the people from Fuximen in front of him didn't dare to offend indiscriminately.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan naturally understood in his heart.
If it is really the same as what those people in the tea shop said, then the disciple of Confucianism who drifted down from Yunmengze is very likely to be Xue Hao. Xue Hao had abandoned them in the Battle of the Lonely Island, and was later declared missing by the exploration team of the East Thunder Pavilion.
If it's a hand under the Underworld, it's okay, but it has nothing to do with it. But if it is related to the Dark Gate, it may be a clue to investigate Mu Zihan's whereabouts.
This is also the reason why Qin Chuan came here.
"Below is the disciple sent to Yunmengze by my master half a month ago. ”
Qin Chuan responded like this, and the rest didn't need to be said much, thinking that Confucian scholars could also know the meaning. Ru Yuan wants to find out the reason for Xue Hao's disappearance and comeback, and he will definitely receive him.
"Brother Dao, please wait, I'll go and report here. ”
The Confucian student's face froze, and he ran towards the hall.
Soon, a gentleman came from among them, casually exchanged a few words with Qin Chuan, and hurriedly welcomed Qin Chuan in. That Xue Hao is an elite disciple of Confucianism, and his importance is self-evident.
The hall in this wind and rain town is extremely simple, and several people who came there came from the city not far away, and they only stayed here temporarily at this time.
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Xue?"
Sitting in the banquet, Qin Chuan asked. Although he doesn't like Xue Hao, as a fellow practitioner, he also has to be concerned, not to mention that from the modus operandi, he can also make some guesses about the person who did it.
"It seems that he has been severely punished by the Demon Sect, but his life has been saved for the time being, and he has been sent to Jingzhou overnight for treatment. ”
A gentleman in his forties, beckoned the students to make tea for Qin Chuan, and then said, "Regarding the changes in Yunmengze, please tell Xiaoyou in detail." ”
"It's okay, my fellow disciples have already rushed to Luoyan Peak, presumably the details of this will be conveyed to the Confucian Garden soon. ”
Qin Chuan replied, "That day, we encountered the Underworld Sect in Daze, a fight to the death, Senior Brother Xue was nowhere to be found, and he never appeared again, and then there was the intervention of the Dark Gate. Since Mr. said that Senior Brother Xue was severely punished, I guessed that he might have been accidentally taken captive by the Demon Sect. ”
This Xue Hao deserves it.
Saying that, Qin Chuan felt a little secretly comfortable in his heart.
But right now, it's important. The Underworld Sect has captured people in the righteous path, so naturally they will not use torture, and they will end up with a single knife, and even encounter perverts, life and death torture, and they will not be able to live forever. Since Xue Hao can still escape, most of the time it was done by the Dark Gate.
Investigating the matter yourself, it seems that it is really the right choice.
Then, the gentleman sighed, a little solemn.
"When Xue Hao woke up, he said that he was tortured by the demon sect demons, and asked him to secretly deal with my Confucian Garden as a spy, and it seems that there is a plan against my Confucian Garden in the near future. ”
With a long sigh, "The situation in the Central Plains is becoming less and less peaceful. ”
Against the Confucian Garden?
Hearing this, Qin Chuan was stunned.
Since Mu Zihan has become the so-called "Moon Shadow" of the Dark Gate, and this time he designed the Confucian Garden, doesn't it mean that Mu Zihan is very likely to be sent to Jingzhou to carry out a mission?
It seems that he still has to go to Jingzhou.
After a cup of tea, Qin Chuan told some things about Yunmengze under the questioning of Mr. Ruyuan, and did not find any new clues. After some planning, he has decided to leave for Jingzhou early tomorrow morning, and it is none of his business how Xue Hao is, but if he wants to see Zihan again, this is the only way.
"Thank you so much, little friend. ”
The gentleman got up and saluted Qin Chuan, "It's not early, if Xiaoyou doesn't make arrangements, let me do my best to be a landlord in the Confucian Garden, and entertain the distinguished guests of Fuximen." ”
"So tired ......"
Qin Chuan also stood up, but just as he was about to thank him, suddenly there was a bang in the backyard, a commotion, and the air was accompanied by the overflow of Zhenyuan, obviously something had changed.
"What's the matter?!"
With an exclamation, the gentleman couldn't take care of Qin Chuan, and urgently called the disciples in the door.
Soon, it was the student who poured tea who ran over, but in the presence of an outsider in Qin Chuan, the two of them took a few steps and walked into the courtyard to whisper.
"Isn't it the Dark Door?"
Qin Chuan was suspicious in his heart, and his face was a little solemn.
Immediately, his eyes were slightly closed, and a touch of spiritual sense was separated and transmitted, which greatly enhanced his auditory senses. The words of the two Confucian Gardens slowly entered their hearts.
"What's going on in the backyard?"
The gentleman asked. Although Qin Chuan at this time was only in the early stage of the Yuan Dynasty and could not reach the realm of expanding the hearing and hearing of the Liuyao Realm, it was not a long distance, and he could still hear it clearly.
"Mr. Huiyu, the room that was originally intended for Senior Brother Xue suddenly caught fire. ”
There was a sound of gnashing teeth, "Fortunately, it was secretly sent to Jingzhou overnight, otherwise it would ......"
"The Demon Sect is really vicious!"
"Don't talk about this, can you send someone to investigate?"
"The two senior brothers happened to meet, it was a black-robed man, and at this moment they had caught up, as if they were fleeing to the west. ”
"Calling them back and leaving this matter to Jingzhou is no longer within our power. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
After a few words, the two separated again, and Mr. Ruyuan returned to the hall, but he smiled at Qin Chuan and did not mention the matter of Fang Cai.
"I've already prepared dinner below, so I'll rest for a while. ”
"No need. ”
Qin Chuan bowed, "The disciple has other things to do, so I will leave." ”
These people are not cultivated enough and dare not chase them, but Qin Chuan himself has to chase them. If he can implement the fact that the Dark Gate designed the Confucian Garden, it will be of great help to him to track down Zihan.
With a thank-you, Qin Chuan sacrificed out of Zhenshan River, turned into a green mang in an instant, and flew towards the west.
