I plant love Gu for Xianjun

Before tiptoeing, the Gu worm climbed over a threshold again and entered the second side hall.Here is another scene.

There are still tall terracotta figurines against the walls on all sides, but an altar has been built in the center of the hall. On the altar are five or six giant urn figurines as tall as a person, like dummy, creepy.

Feng Zhangjun was about to ask, but Lian Zhuxian had already given the answer in a few words: "These are the disciples of the Five Immortals who were martyred in the conflict with Yun Cang 200 years ago."

Late at night after the conflict ended, all the remains of the believers who died in battle disappeared mysteriously.After a few days, it unexpectedly appeared in a tiankeng deep in the mountains, but all of them had been burned to the bone.

Even the closest people can't tell the difference between these bones.So these pottery figurines were cast and worshiped together.

The Gu worms on the ground meandered all the way, and did not stop in front of any gray figurines.But the strange thing was that the dead Gu Hall began to make strange rustling noises.

Feng Zhangjun confirmed that this was definitely not an illusion: he saw the face of the big gray figurine moving—the previously faded features, which were neither sad nor happy, suddenly became bright and ferocious.

And those rustling sounds also came from the big gray figurine, as if something was hiding inside, whispering.

Something unexpected happened.

Two candles inserted on the incense table in front of the altar unexpectedly ignited automatically, and the turquoise flames shot up to a height of more than three feet.The candlelight elongated the shadow of the big gray figurine and cast it on the ceiling, making it creepy like a ghost.

"Stay here and don't move."

Lian Zhuxian signaled Lin Ziqing to accompany Feng Zhangjun, and he quickly returned to the main hall.He took three sticks of incense from the incense burner, put them on the altar respectfully, and explained in a low voice.

As soon as the voice fell, the candle was extinguished instantly.Looking at the gray figurines again, they all returned to normal.

"Thank you, senior, for your accommodation, thank you, senior, for your accommodation..." Lin Ziqing clasped her hands together, expressing her gratitude repeatedly, while reaching out and grabbing the corner of Feng Zhangjun's clothes, desperately leading him to the direction of the next door.

The following route became more treacherous: the Gu worm found an inconspicuous small gap in the corner of the side hall, and slipped in unexpectedly.

Where is this going?

Feng Zhangjun quickly got the answer——Lin Ziqing touched some mechanism, and after a rumbling sound at the bottom of her feet, a hole appeared.

"This is the secret passage leading to the basement." Lian Zhuxian didn't hide it, "The basement contains life-protecting Gu for sinners and traitors, which is dangerous."

Since the Gu worms have entered the ground, it means that Yun Cang's ghoul is most likely a traitor of the Five Immortals Sect. If this is confirmed, it will be able to disregard any relationship with other people in the Sect.

Lin Ziqing lit a candle for illumination, and the three of them walked down the tunnel.

Perhaps because the swamp is wet and soft, the tunnel cannot be dug too deep.The candlelight quickly illuminated a square stone room, and a pair of relief stone doors facing the sky and the earth on the north side were engraved with a strange scene of a group of bone-shaped death gods dancing with magic weapons.There was a sea of ​​blood under the bones, and someone in the sea reached out for help.

The whole body of the two doors is painted brightly, which looks gorgeous and ominous.

Lin Ziqing was trying to find a way to open the door, Lian Zhu Xian turned around and said to Feng Zhangjun in a low voice: "The underground here is already a forbidden area of ​​our faction. Please also ask Feng Zhangjun to wait outside the door, we will inform you as soon as there is a result."

While speaking, the door has been opened.A whiff of cold air surged out, mixed with an indescribable damp, musty and earthy smell.

Feng Zhangjun was a little thankful that he didn't need to go in.

Lin Ziqing ignited the lamp oil in the oil tank with a candle.The scale of the basement is not large, and the four walls and the top and bottom are all large pieces of granite that fit perfectly.There are also pits and pits on the rocks, and there are even clear marks of sword chopping.

And all the damaged parts were pasted with talismans and nailed with forbidden spells.

Calculated, the underground rock chamber should be directly below the main hall on the first floor, and the layout also echoes—there is a shrine in the center, enshrining the statue of the Bone God.

The two sides of the shrine are surrounded by three layers of stone platforms, but what are placed are not gray figurines, but stone urns.Talismans are engraved on each urn, and the mouth of the urn is covered with talisman paper, and some of them are wrapped with iron chains, fortified.

"……it's here."

Lian Zhuxian found the Gu worms that had disappeared for a short time. They had climbed up the edge of the lower stone platform on the right side of the shrine, and finally lingered on the top of an old stone urn.

Lian Zhuxian opened the bamboo tube and took the Gu worm back, but Lin Ziqing had already read the name engraved on the stone urn: "Zeng Shan, whose name is described with cinnabar, is a rebel in the sect."

"I've never heard of this person." Lian Zhu Xian searched for memories, but found nothing. "This stone urn has been around for some time, so it probably doesn't belong to our generation."

Lin Ziqing didn't intend to waste her time on this matter: "Maybe you should ask the brother in charge."

Having said that, he glanced at Feng Zhangjun standing at the door from the corner of his eye.

"Are you going to tell him the truth later?"

"Why not." Lian Zhu Xian obviously already had some concerns: "The name Zeng Shan is from the Central Plains at first glance, and now the corpse has appeared in Yuncang, no matter how you think about it, it should be that they have more problems in the Central Plains. Let's Wait and see."

After speaking, the two returned to the door and told Feng Zhangjun the name of Zeng Shan.

No surprise, Feng Zhangjun has never heard of this character.

There were no other clues in the Gu hall, and the three returned to Tingpu residence by the lake along the original road.This time, Lian Zhuxian proposed to let Lin Ziqing accompany Feng Zhangjun to sit in the main hall for a while, and ask the leader Xuantong to come out by himself.

As soon as he left, Lin Ziqing poured tea for Feng Zhangjun, and winked again: "Brother Xianjun has the smell of a night tour god, but he came from the cave in the back mountain?"

Feng Zhangjun nodded.

Seeing that he was willing to communicate, Lin Ziqing moved closer: "The other day after you and the head brother left, A-Ting was in a coma for three days before waking up. Before I opened my eyes, I cried and called your name, talking about dreams I saw you were eaten by the Night God."

Feng Zhangjun was still expressionless: "When did you give him the jade pendant?"

"I'll give it to him when he wakes up! But we've never been to Liuquan. At first, it was because Ah Tuo was recovering from his injuries; later, it was because we decided to join the Five Immortals Sect, which taught that minors are not allowed to go out without permission; later……"

Speaking of this, Lin Ziqing suddenly sighed softly: "Afterwards, many things happened. In short, you became the famous Yuncang Immortal Lord, while we are loyal to the Five Immortals Sect... We became strangers without knowing it. .”

As he said that, he suddenly moved closer: "But according to the current situation, is the relationship between our two factions about to ease? You don't know, when A-Zhe heard the senior brother in charge tell him to go to the cloud When I was pale, the tips of my ears turned red..."

"Lin Ziqing——!"

The sound of a ghost threatening his life sounded behind him, Lin Ziqing, like a cock whose neck had been strangled, quickly silenced and turned to look.

At the door, Lian Zhuxian stood with a sullen face, his pale cheeks were now stained with a thin layer of blush.And standing behind him is the leader of the generation of Five Immortals Sect, Xuan Tong.

---

"Zeng Shan, she was indeed a disciple of the Five Immortals Sect, but she only stayed in the Sect for less than ten years. Before and after that, she was Yuncang's person. An eyeliner who sneaked into the Five Immortals Sect."

Above the main hall, Xuantong made an astonishing opening.

For both parties in the conflict, this was undoubtedly an embarrassing topic.But to clarify the context, it is necessary to touch this old scar.

Xuan Tong looked at Feng Zhangjun: "This time I was invited by the noble sect to attend the Dharma meeting. I think we both have a goodwill to turn hostility into friendship. Just looking forward to the future does not mean avoiding the past, especially when it comes to Zeng Shan. Above all, it is even more necessary to talk about it and make it clear.”

Feng Zhangjun also nodded in response: "Seeking common ground while reserving differences, this should be the case."

The two sides reached a simple consensus, and Xuantong then slowly told the past.

Zeng Shan was the eye sent by Yun Cang to the Five Immortals Sect.She is not Zhong Yuan's first secret work, and she probably won't be the last.But she played a unique role in the catastrophe that year.

More than two hundred years have passed, and at that time even Xuan Tong was just a young boy.But in his memory, Zeng Shan was a very talented, intelligent woman.

One day many years ago, she fell off a cliff and fell to the bottom of the valley, and was rescued by the leader at that time, Nosoma.Shortly thereafter, he joined the sect of the leader and devoted himself to studying Gu art.In terms of seniority, he is still Xuantong's junior uncle.

However, this woman, who was deeply trusted and cared for by her fellow sects, turned against the Five Immortals when the Five Immortals were besieged by various factions in the Central Plains, and even betrayed the route to escort Nosoma out of the valley.As a result, dozens of elite disciples were slaughtered.If Gu King hadn't arrived in time, even the leader might not be spared.

The past is unbearable, even though Xuan Tong has downplayed it, Lian Zhu Xian is still nervous.

He stole another look at Feng Zhangjun, the man was still expressionless and his eyes were lifeless.

It was Lin Ziqing who asked, "I wonder what happened to Zeng Shan?"

Xuan Tong said: "After the bloody battle that day, Zeng Shan ran back to wander around the valley again. He happened to be caught by the guards and executed on the spot."

"What about the corpse?"

"I don't know." Xuan Tong glanced at Feng Zhangjun's moon-white robe, "After the truce, she was taken back by her fellow sect. I saw with my own eyes that the person who led the corpse was wearing Yuncang's robe."

This is exactly the key point, Lian Zhuxian asked: "Brother, do you remember who that is? What identity?"

This question was originally a bit difficult, but Xuan Tong simply nodded his head: "I remember that man very clearly because he only has one arm."

"One-armed?" Lian Zhuxian thumped in his heart, and immediately turned to Feng Zhangjun: "Has there ever been a person with a broken arm in Yuncang?"

Feng Zhangjun nodded: "There are indeed people who are disabled due to injuries. As for the specific people who have lost their arms, they have to go back to the mountain to get the roster from the Zongwu Office."

"Perhaps it doesn't need to be so troublesome." Lian Zhuxian provided his own experience: "Yesterday, I happened to meet a one-armed man outside the gate hall of Yuncang Mountain. He not only experienced the catastrophe of the past, but also hated my sect deeply."

"...Have you met Huaiyuan?" Jun Fengzhang actually knew this person.

Lian Zhu Xian nodded: "It seems that he is very famous on the mountain."

"I know him because he is in charge of Yuncang's old scripture building." Feng Zhangjun told the truth: "This person is not low in seniority, but he has a gloomy and eccentric temperament and moody. He has no relatives and reasons on the mountain. Arranging books in the building. That's all I know."

Lian Zhu Xian hypothesized: "Perhaps he took the initiative to keep a distance from other people in order to hide Zeng Shan's body in the old scripture building. It is not difficult to verify this point."

Feng Zhangjun nodded: "Go back to Yuncang to find him."

Now that the two sides have reached a consensus, it is natural not to delay.However, just when Fengzhangjun was about to say goodbye and leave, he was stopped by Xuantong.

"Ziqing, Ah Xian, you go out and wait first, Feng Zhangjun and I still have a few words to say."
