Battle for Rebirth

Three days later, the secret realm opened again, but Yuan Xingnian did not wait for Zhao Chen and the others to come out.He looked around, but none of the monks came out of the secret realm.The more he waited, the more flustered he became. Yuan Xingnian had a bad feeling in his heart, and wanted to rush in but was ejected again and again.He frowned and watched Jun Zheng walk past, but he was not ejected but still couldn't get in.

"Damn it, what is going on in this secret realm." Yuan Xingnian became anxious, he was really worried about Zhao Chen.He could barely keep his composure from what had happened.

Jun Zheng frowned, and he comforted, "Maybe they will come out later, don't worry too much."

"Senior brother, there is no one you care about, of course you don't worry." Yuan Xingnian regretted it after finishing speaking, he rubbed the bridge of his nose, and looked apologetically at Junzheng, who changed his expression instantly, "Sorry, I'm not this means."

Jun Zheng turned his face to look at the entrance of the forest, where a figure gradually became clear, it turned out to be Gong Anqiu who had left with Hua Lian before.

Yuan Xingnian also noticed that there was nothing between the two of them for a while.

Why did Gong Anchou come back suddenly?

"As expected, you didn't leave." Gong Anchou breathed a sigh of relief, he waved the branches and leaves on his sleeves, and said anxiously, "I was thinking that if I couldn't find you here, I would have to go to Tianmen Sect."

Just as Yuan Xingnian was about to speak, Jun Zheng took the lead and asked, "Brother Gong has something to do with us?"

"It's like this. We went to Yonghe Town temporarily without the whereabouts of the Resurrection Grass. As a result, Ah Lian met a strange monk on the road today. He recognized it as Tianmen Sect, and he entered the secret realm before." Gong Case Qiu said the latter in one breath, and gasped again, "He found that the monk had lost his soul, so he only chanted a word of lotus, and he noticed something strange. Then we found that several of them were like this. So Ah Lian asked me to come here to see look."

Jun Zheng frowned, "How many people did you find?"

"Seven."

"Does that mean there are still five missing?" Junzheng bowed his head and thought for a while, "Can I trouble you to take us there?"

Gong Anchou nodded, "I came here for this matter."

The three rushed all the way, Yuan Xingnian wanted to ask if there was Zhao Chen among the seven, but he was afraid of getting bad news, so he followed them silently.They walked to an inn and stopped. Yuan Xingnian looked up and saw a piece of white silk fluttering on the eaves, so he couldn't help but take a second look.In the end, he accidentally bumped into the shopkeeper who was about to go out.

The shopkeeper was probably a little taller than him. The middle-aged man was a bit fat, with a naive expression.

"Sorry." Yuan Xingnian smiled apologetically, cupped his hands to the shopkeeper, and quickly followed Gong Anchou's pace.

The shopkeeper stared at Yuan Xingnian for a long time, and left in a hurry until Yuan Xingnian's figure disappeared.

Gong Anchou knocked on the door.

Yuan Xingnian was still thinking about the shopkeeper. There was a familiar smell about him, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

There were seven Tianmen sect disciples standing in a row inside, Yuan Xingnian swept them one by one, disappointed that he didn't find Zhao Chen.They seem to have regained some sanity, but some are still mumbling something.

"Is that all?" Junzheng asked.

Hua Lian nodded while administering needles to those disciples who lost their minds.Initially, it seems that these people were just temporarily frightened out of their wits, and there were no serious consequences.

"I'll go and tell the suzerain first." Junzheng turned around and walked out of the room, and told Yuan Xingnian, "If one of them wakes up, ask them what happened in the secret realm."

Yuan Xingnian wanted to help, but he didn't understand medical theory.After sitting dryly for a while, he felt that the atmosphere inside was uncomfortable, so he went out too.Unexpectedly, he met the shopkeeper who accidentally bumped into him before, and he looked busy before.Didn't expect to come back so soon.

"Shopkeeper, is the silk on your eaves a custom?" Yuan Xingnian simply asked about the silk he had accidentally seen before.

The shopkeeper's chubby face showed an amiable smile, and he slowly replied, "It's my daughter. She left home. I was worried that she couldn't find the way back, so I hung up the silk."

Yuan Xingnian thought this method was weird, but nodded with a smile on his face.He also asked if he had seen any strange monks wearing Tianmen sect clothes recently, and the shopkeeper said that he was busy with the affairs of the inn and basically didn't have time to care about them.

After thanking the shopkeeper, Yuan Xingnian put his hands on the railing on the second floor to watch Junzheng fly out the voice-transmitting bird Fang.He was really bored, so he simply scanned the first floor carefully, his face became a little weird, he only realized now that the threshold of this inn is very high, almost abnormal.

And in this way, it is easy for the guests who come and go to be tripped.Sure enough, a guest who walked in almost fell down without paying attention.He complained to Xiao Er in embarrassment, but was ignored by the white-faced Xiao Er who was always smiling.Yuan Xingnian felt weird, and when Junzheng came up, he told him what he thought.

"We don't care about other people's affairs." Jun Zheng said lightly, then skipped him and walked into the room.

Yuan Xingnian shrugged, followed Jun Zheng and walked in.

Among the seven, there was a disciple with a high cultivation base who had fully recovered his sanity. He cried loudly as soon as he woke up, no matter how Yuan Xingnian tried to comfort him, he couldn't stop.

Yuan Xingnian was almost speechless.

When the man had cried enough, Yuan Xingnian had already stood outside for a while.He was already irritable, how could he stand that man crying like that.After he confirmed that there was no more crying from inside, he hurried in.Among the five lost people, whether Zhao Chen was in danger or not, he was always worried.

"Woo," the man choked up, his eyes were red and swollen, he tried not to shed tears, and looked at Junzheng anxiously before he said slowly, "When we first went in, we found that everyone was teleported to one place. , We were very happy at first, after all, it was the first time for everyone to enter the secret realm. But Zhao Chen... Zhao Chen insisted that we disperse, and we naturally disagreed. Zhao Chen left alone."

Zhao Chen hastily urged them to disperse, obviously he found something.It's just that no one listened to her, and when the group of disciples gathered together realized that someone was missing, they panicked.And they disappeared a total of four people.

When they found Zhao Chen, no one was missing, but they were all frightened crazy.And Zhao Chen was standing in front of a coffin, staring at something with his head down.

"She asked us to hide in our coffin, and we all felt that the coffin was so small that it couldn't hold many people." The surviving person was still panicked when he recalled what happened in the secret realm. He shrugged and continued, "But one day One person went in first, and the people behind squeezed in one after another. Zhao Chen did not come in. When we urged him, he said that the coffin had to be closed from the outside. We were scared at that time, thinking that Zhao Chen was lying to us and locked us up go in."

He heard a loud closing sound. At that time, he was afraid that the rest of his life would end like this. He didn't expect that when he woke up, he regained his life.

"You mean, Ah Chen is still in the secret realm?" Yuan Xingnian's expression turned cold, and he stared at the man.

The disciples of Tianmenzong flinched, not daring to speak any more.

They can't enter the secret realm, and they don't know the weirdness of the secret realm.What did Ah Chen find in it? Why didn't she tell them directly, but beat around the bush and let them scatter.Yuan Xingnian closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down and think, but he had no idea what was going on inside, and he didn't have any clues at all.

There are more and more cries, and more and more people are awake.

Yuan Xingnian "tsk" and walked out of the room again.This time, he went directly downstairs, glanced at the shopkeeper who was bowing his head to settle accounts, and walked out of the inn slowly.When he was leaving, he was absent-minded and almost tripped over the threshold, which was so much higher than the usual threshold, which always made him feel weird.

Unknowingly, he came to the broken bridge. The gentle clay figurine in front of the tomb was still lying quietly. Yuan Xingnian slowly sprinkled the wine he brought in front of the tomb, his eyes fixed on the broken bridge.

"Senior sister, you have to protect Ah Chen from any accident."

Yuan Xingnian sat for a while, talked about the agreement he had reached with Junzheng, and then walked to Zhao's sword casting shop.

It feels a lot colder in front of the door, maybe because of the scorching heat, many people are reluctant to go out.Father Zhao was sitting at the door shaking his fan, and he raised his eyes when he saw a familiar person appearing at his door.Yuan Xingnian looked at Father Zhao's aging face, and felt sore again.

If something really happened to Zhao Chen, how would he tell Father Zhao.

"Young man, how is our Shen'er?" Father Zhao obviously recognized Yuan Xingnian, and he said before that he never wanted to care about Zhao Chen, but now he obviously still cares about her.

Yuan Xingnian choked up, and said with a smile, "Ah Chen is very hardworking."

"Well, she has been like this since she was a child. Once she made a decision, she never looked back." Zhao's father was a little relieved and sad, "Mr. Lin came here several times, and the last time he came to tell me that he was going to marry Jiang Huanhua's proprietress." .”

Yuan Xingnian couldn't remember her face clearly.

When Yuan Xingnian walked back to the inn, he saw the silk fluttering with the warm wind from a distance, like wrapping around a woman's neck.He shivered unconsciously, seeing the square appearance of the entire inn.He suddenly remembered what Zhao's father said. It was said that the inn was destroyed by a fire half a year ago, and it was only recently that it was rebuilt.

No wonder he smelled a strange smell, especially when entering the inn.

It smells like women's powder, and it smells like rotten meat.
