"There have always been rumors in the sect that there is a secret room in the old scripture building, but it is only heard, and no one has ever found it." Feng Zhangjun took out the fire book and walked in the front, softly said.

Lian Zhu Xian followed closely behind him, silently admiring the broad and straight back, while looking for something to say: "What's the use of the secret room?"

"I don't know, but I heard that some traps have been set up. In short, don't follow too closely."

"...Okay." The sudden reminder made Lian Zhu Xian a little embarrassed, and he immediately slowed down.

Different from the tunnel in the Gu Hall of the Five Immortals Sect, the passage below the Old Sutra Building is deep and winding.After walking about twenty or thirty steps, the surrounding neat brick walls turned into uneven rocks, and there were even stalactites intertwined with each other.

Lian Zhuxian's fingertips touched the cave wall lightly, and a layer of black ash appeared, indicating that someone passed here frequently with torches.There are still some broken stalactite fragments on the ground, the fractures are white, and they should have fallen off in the past few days.

The legend of the mechanism seems to be true - there are several hidden weapons and mechanisms left on the cave walls along the way, and there are hidden cold arrows hidden between the stalactites above the head; but all of them are rusty, like bones on an ancient battlefield .

To be on the safe side, Feng Zhangjun destroyed all the organs, which was nothing more than a trivial matter to Feng Quejian.

Lian Zhuxian, who was following behind, had nothing to do, looked around for a few times, and then fell back on that generous back.

It seems that, a long time ago, that boy named Ahua stood in front of him without hesitation.

The past and the future overlap in this dark cave, and nothing seems real.Lian Zhuxian suddenly wanted to reach out and grab the moon-white sleeve that was swaying in front of his eyes, to grab that old friend who was so close to him but seemed so far away.

But at this moment, Feng Zhangjun stopped and turned around.

The eyes of the two slowly met, and there was a moment of silence.

"Did you hear that?" Feng Zhangjun pointed out a general direction.

Only then did Lian Zhuxian begin to notice that there was indeed the faint sound of rushing water in the distance.

"It's a waterfall. We turned around the mountain and came near the waterfall."

Sure enough, I walked another forty or fifty steps along the cave, and it became more and more humid.Turning around a bend, there was a twilight ahead, and I saw a half-person-high cave entrance, completely covered by the waterfall.Only the word "Langhuan" is vaguely engraved on the side wall of the cave.

Although Lian Zhuxian is from Nanzhao, he also knows that "Langhuan" in the Central Plains refers to the library.If you want to come here, it should be the entrance of the legendary secret room, but it was covered up by the diverted waterfall hundreds of years ago, and there is no trace to be found.

Yun Cang is the number one cultivator in the Central Plains, and what kind of content should be recorded in the tome that Yun Cang solemnly collected?

Lian Zhu Xian couldn't help getting excited, secretly hoping that Feng Zhangjun wouldn't mind letting him take a fancy to him.

The cave is still extending in twists and turns, and the space is getting wider and wider.Because of the distance of four or five steps behind, Lian Zhuxian only saw the light of the fire zhezi in Feng Zhangjun's hand suddenly dimmed - the narrow corridor turned into a spacious stone room.

The situation in the stone room was still unclear, Feng Zhangjun reached out his hand to stop Lian Zhuxian from moving forward.Then he took out the pearl from the Qiankun bag and threw it to a high place.

The stone room was instantly brightly lit.After getting used to it for a while, Lian Zhu Xian looked out from Feng Zhangjun's side, but what he saw was completely different from what he had imagined.

Not like a library, but more like a storage room.

There are no bookshelves in the stone room, only many stone niches have been dug on the four walls of the cave.These stone niches contain all kinds of sundries - water basins, clay pots, iron boxes, wooden dolls and bundles of animal skins.Not only that, even various dried herbs are hung on the roof of the cave, and there are even strings of dead bats and lizards.

What's even more weird is that all these sundries are placed in a mess, even rickety, as if they have just experienced a catastrophe.

But in the center of this mess, there is a strange blank.

After confirming that there was no mechanism inside the stone chamber, Feng Zhangjun finally took a step forward, followed by Lian Zhuxian.They soon discovered that the blank area was actually a stone platform made of limestone. There were large black and brown stains on the gray-white stone slab, and it was roughly recognizable as a human figure.

"look."

What Lian Zhuxian was referring to was a vermilion lacquered wooden box on the right side of the stone platform. It was tilted miserably, and the unlocked lid spit out the hidden items.

There are all kinds of dresses in bright colors and exquisite workmanship.Pearls, jasper and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.There are also boxes of rouge and gouache... All these beautiful things that have attracted countless women are like a pile of useless garbage at this moment, gradually darkening and dusting in the cold and damp.

It seemed that these were gifts from Huaiyuan to Zeng Shan.What kind of relationship is it between them?

Although he despised what they had done, Lian Zhuxian still became curious from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps there are more clues hidden in this big wooden box.With this in mind, he bent down to straighten the wooden box.

But Feng Zhangjun suddenly stopped him: "Don't touch it!"

As soon as the words were finished, the lime and charcoal piled up next to the wooden box suddenly slid down, revealing what was covered.

There are thousands of animal bones of all kinds, large and small, stacked one on top of the other.

Bones, medicinal herbs, and all kinds of weird utensils—Zhu Xian, a practitioner who is familiar with Gu and poison, thought deeply.And Feng Zhangjun picked up a dilapidated book beside the pile of bones, flipped through a few pages, and immediately frowned.

"Sorcerer."

The evidence about Huaiyuan's crimes has been conclusive, but the culprit is still missing.

After the lime pile collapsed, the entire stone chamber began to be filled with a rotten stench.Before being overwhelmed by the smoke, the two of them retreated back to the old scripture building along the same road.Coincidentally, Yuncang's disciples who were sent to other places to search had also gathered in the courtyard.

No matter Yangtiantian, Jujingtang or the various temples that the disciples go in and out every day, there is no trace of Huaiyuan, and the disciples guarding the mountain gate definitely did not let him go.

But more than that, even Zeng Shan's corpse also disappeared from the Jujing Hall.

A cripple with a broken arm and a corpse with him, just disappearing under the eyes of thousands of people?This is easier said than done.Nine times out of ten, it is the ghost of the Yuncang faction - Lian Zhuxian is like a mirror in his heart, and he has already seen it through seven or eight points.

But at this moment, the only thing he was uncertain about was Feng Zhangjun's attitude.

Did Mr. Feng Zhang know about hiding Huaiyuan?Could it be that he used some means to disclose the information obtained from the Five Immortals to Yun Cang's people in advance.

Pure speculation will only make people upset, Lian Zhuxian decided to test directly.

"Let me see if I can find Zeng Shan's corpse." As he spoke, he summoned the black Gu worms from Zeng Shan's corpse from the bamboo tube.

Seeing the Gu worm come back out of the rivers and lakes, the disciples around immediately retreated a few steps to keep a safe distance.However, no matter how Lianzhuxian drives it, the Gu worms always stay on the bamboo tube without making any movement.

"What's going on?" Feng Zhangjun asked proactively.

"...I can't sense it anymore." Lian Zhu Xian was also a little confused about the displayed results, "Maybe the corpse is far away from the range that the Gu worms can sense, or the corpse has been destroyed."

Speaking of this, he took the initiative to look at Feng Zhangjun: "Huaiyuan has secretly preserved the corpse for many years, why choose to destroy it now? Could it be that he died for love?"

Feng Zhangjun didn't answer, because what is needed to practice Zhu Xian is obviously more than a simple shaking of the head.

He drew out the Feng Que sword and held it flat in front of his eyes, flicking the blade lightly.

There was only a clank, and a few lines of spells lit up on the sword.

Fengzhangjun recited the mantra silently, and waved the sword, countless light spots flew away from the sword.

Searching for the soul is the most commonly used spell by various sects of cultivation.After a person dies, it can be as short as a few days or as long as years, and the soul will not disperse.Through the art of searching for souls, one can search for and communicate with souls that have not yet been separated, and can solve many unsolved cases.

According to the strength of the spellcaster, the scope of the soul search also varies in size.For someone as powerful as Fengzhang Jun, it would be easy to search the entire Yuncang Peak with a cup of tea.

Sure enough, the man quickly opened his eyes.

"Huaiyuan is still alive." He was very sure, "I can't find his soul."

Huaiyuan is alive but his whereabouts are unknown, while Zeng Shan's body has probably been destroyed—there are all kinds of subtleties here, I believe anyone with a discerning eye can feel it.

Lian Zhu Xian fell into deep thought.

---

Although Huaiyuan is missing, the case of the dead ghost has been confirmed to have no direct relationship with the Five Immortals, so the most important thing at this moment is to report the truth to Lord Chunwu, and then spread the confession widely, for the Five Immortals and Zhu Xian. Remove the stigma.

Leaving a few trusted disciples to sort out and search the secret room, Feng Zhangjun led Lian Zhuxian out of the old scripture building, and was going to go back to his small courtyard to do some sorting.

Along the way, Feng Zhangjun remained silent until he entered the small courtyard and closed the door before turning to practice Zhu Xian.

"Before I go to see Mr. Chunwu, I have something to tell you."

"Could it be about Huaiyuan?" Lian Zhuxian said what he had been thinking about since just now, "Do you want to tell me: even if Lord Chunwu is willing to send out a petition to cleanse the grievances I have suffered with the Five Immortals? Slander, the truth about ghouls will not be revealed to the world?"

"That's right." Feng Zhangjun was not surprised by his transparent intelligence: "Although Huaiyuan is unconscious, he is a member of Yuncang after all. As the acting head, Mr. Chunwu will try his best to make big and small things small. melted."

As the head of the family, he naturally didn't want his family's ugliness to spread - Lian Zhuxian expressed his understanding of this, but he asked a more acute question.

"Speaking of which, Lord Chunwu is most likely the person hiding Huaiyuan and destroying Zeng Shan's body right now? How did he know that Huaiyuan was the one who concocted the ghoul? Did Huaiyuan turn himself in, or was someone secretly tipping him off? ?”

This is obviously alluding to Feng Zhangjun's leak.However, Feng Zhangjun was not moved at all.

"Even if I tipped off the news, so what? Imprisoning Huaiyuan and disposing of poisoned corpses, what's wrong with that?"

He looked directly at Lian Zhu Xian without any shame, but Lian Zhu Xian was momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed, this was originally an investigation initiated by the Yuncang faction.In the whole process, what I acted as was just an assisting role.Now that the truth has been verified, and the Yuncang faction internally took sanctions, why bother to inform him of this outsider?

It's really self-indulgent - after all, I and Feng Zhangjun are two people with different positions, and Chunwu Jun is the "family" who stands shoulder to shoulder with him.

But at the same time as self-denial, a different voice popped out of Lian Zhu Xian's mind.

"Since you have decided to send Huaiyuan internally, why did you take me deep into the secret room of the old scripture building?"

"..."

Feng Zhangjun seems to have made some kind of answer.But Lian Zhu Xian suddenly couldn't hear anything.

Because a tearing pain came from his abdomen, which instantly took away almost all of his consciousness.

Right in front of Feng Zhangjun, he opened his eyes wide and fell slumped...
