The old lady paused and quickly relaxed again.He patted his hand and said: "When I went out earlier, it looked good. That's fine, you should rest too."

"You have other things to do, don't hang around Grandma Huang's side all the time, go and get busy with yours."

Qi Mo recalled deeply that there was more than half of the hill left on the table, and nodded, "Then Grandma Huang, I will go first! After eating the fermented eggs, Shuangshuang hurriedly asked Shuangshuang to hide the jar! And don't be too tired! "

The old lady chased him away dumbfounded, "Okay, you can go now! Why can you chatter better than an old lady like me."

Qi Mo yelled and ran away.

After he left, the smile on the old lady's face faded. She reached out and touched her neck. After a while, she picked up the needle and thread at hand again as if she had just woken up from a dream, and continued the previous action.

The jar of fermented eggs has been kept there, exuding the mellow aroma of old wine.

The four of them traveled all day and night, and finally arrived at the foot of the Jingchuan Jianzong Lipai on the morning of the fifth day.

This mountain is extremely high, and you can see some greenery in the mountain from a distance. Among the looming houses and palaces, you can only see bright red wintersweet on the branches covered by winter snow. The heavy bells are heard from the misty From the top of the mountain shrouded in cloud and mist.

There were two disciples with swords standing at the door. They were both dressed in dark green disciple uniforms. When they saw Hongyue, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Hall Master Red Moon."

The four got off their horses, Hong Yue said: "Who is in charge on the mountain? Didn't you receive our letter?"

This... the two disciples looked at each other with some embarrassment.

The one on the left replied: "Lord Hongyue, you have been outside these days and you don't know. It is the suzerain who issued the order to seal the mountain, cutting off all connections inside and outside the Jianzong. Now the mountain is under full martial law. What happened? Those of us outside disciples don’t know about it.”

Close the mountain?Hongyue frowned when she heard the words, Jingchuan Jianzong would only close the mountain when the suzerain of the past was critically ill, and the elders elected a new suzerain.

But he obviously didn't receive any news, and the elders of the Yinshan faction are still traveling outside. What's going on?

"Then I'll go and see for myself." As he said that, he took a few people to go up the mountain.

The two disciples hurriedly stopped him, "Master, these few..."

Hongling said: "These two are Daoist Qi of Kunlun and Shen Yan, a disciple of Qingwu, both friends of Master and me. Don't you guys recognize me? I am your Senior Sister Hongling!"

The gazes of the two disciples moved to the sword in Shen Yanhuan's hand at the same time. This is the treasure of Jingchuan Sword Sect's town sect...

However, the disciple said: "Senior Sister Hongling has been on the mountain for the past few months."

It's Xie Ling...

Several people thought at the same time.

"You don't need to ask any more questions, I can't prove that she is my apprentice here?" Hongyue said.

The two disciples hurriedly said that they dare not dare, they whispered a few words, one of them turned and went up the mountain, and the other said: "Please wait a moment, wait for him to report."

Qi Yuan fiddled with his small bamboo pole in his hand, and suddenly sneered, which not only made everyone present shudder.Shen Yanhuan poked him, "What are you laughing at?"

Qi Yuan whispered in his ear: "Look at this mountain, new shoots are sprouting in the middle of winter, I'm afraid it's the end of the battle, and when spring begins, it won't be able to withstand the cold spring."

"Can you speak human language?" Shen Yanhuan gritted her teeth next to his ear.

Qi Yuan smiled, "Jing Chuan seems to have come to an end."

Shen Yanhuan's breathing was stagnant.Jingchuan Sword Sect is a century-old swordsmanship family. Although the old man doesn't like them, he always talks about them with some respect. Jingchuan Swordsmanship created a precedent for Daliang swordsmanship, until swordsmanship was revered as the best art in the country. Its development has the shadow of Jingchuan Jianzong.

Such a powerful force...

The disciple who went to inform came back soon, he nodded to his companions and pushed open the simple door, "The suzerain invites everyone to enter the mountain, the guest room has been prepared, but the suzerain is not very well recently, please forgive him for not being able to come to meet .”

"It's strange, Uncle Song is not feeling well? Then why didn't anyone inform me? Looking at Jingchuan, there is someone who has a better way of curing diseases and saving lives than me?" Hong Ling was puzzled.

The disciple led the way in front, "This... I have already told my senior sister, and the prescription that the suzerain is drinking now is also from... er, your subordinates."

It's Xie Ling again...

"Then Uncle Song is getting better?" Hong Ling asked.

What exactly is Xie Ling trying to do?Why didn't Hong Xiao contact them?It is impossible for him not to see that she is not the original Hong Ling.

The disciple replied straightforwardly: "Yes, the world's medical skills are superb, and the suzerain's complexion has improved a lot."

I don't know what kind of exquisite formation has been set up in this mountain, but within a few words of their words, they have arrived at an exquisite courtyard. This courtyard is halfway up the mountain, with a large bamboo forest at the entrance.

Thinking about it, maybe Song Feng heard that they were Hongyue's friends, so this yard is very close to Hongyue Hall, which is a bit convenient for them.

The yard is not big, a main house and two bedrooms have been cleaned up.

Hong Ling rolled her eyes and said, "Can I live here with you? It doesn't seem like two of me appearing in the Red Moon Hall, so I just took this opportunity to see what Xie Ling is really trying to do. "

Before Qi Yuan could speak, she answered again, "Don't worry, I'm deaf and blind and can't see or hear anything, so just pretend I don't exist!"

Qi Yuan, Shen Yanhuan: Of course, it turned out that she lived in directly, and one of the two rooms that Song Feng arranged for them happened to be cheaper than Hongling.

After they stayed here, it was as if they had been forgotten. For several days in a row, except for the disciples who came to deliver meals every day, they had never seen anyone else, and there was no news about Hongyue.It's not that Qi Yuan didn't try to ask, but the answer he got was that it was inconvenient for the suzerain to meet guests.

"I didn't find him." Hong Ling came back from the wind and dust outside, sat cross-legged on the stone table and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"The Red Moon Hall was sealed off. I checked inside and saw that there was no one there."

But even though the Red Moon Hall was sealed off, the contents inside were well protected without any damage, so I thought they just went out as usual.But Hong Ling knew that not only Hong Yue, but also Hong Xiao and Xie Ling should be here.

Qi Yuan said: "I think we'd better go to the front mountain to have a look, the disciples who came to deliver food these days don't feel right."

Shen Yanhuan nodded. Indeed, their current situation is more like being under house arrest.

Just do what you say, the three of them are not hesitant, so they turned around and left the courtyard.

Scattered on the path in front of the gate were a few sword-wielding disciples patrolling the mountains. The mountains were foggy, so Qi Yuan and the others would not just walk in front of them swaggeringly. The branches still covered with dew go to the front mountain.

"What..." The sword disciple in the dark purple uniform drew his sword out of its sheath, and before he could utter a word, he was hit on the back of the neck by an inconspicuous twig and fell limply.

Shen Yanhuan dragged him into the woods to hide him, and took the token from him.According to Hong Ling, these sword disciples wearing purple disciple uniforms have a relatively high status in Jingchuan Sword Sect, second only to her and Hong Xiao, the elders' personal disciples.

Those outer disciples in dark green disciple uniforms didn't know where they went, and they didn't see any of them during this trip.

Hong Ling took the sandalwood disciple seal from Shen Yanhuan's hand, "I'll go up and knock on the door, you guys observe in the dark first, if something happens, you must come and save me!" She strongly urged.

After knocking on the door three times, a person opened a crack from the inside. He was not surprised to see the person in front of him, and he saluted gracefully and invited her in.

Hong Ling took a deep look in their direction, turned around and went in with her.

Xie Ling led her to walk quickly in an empty courtyard, no matter what questions she asked behind her, she just smiled and did not answer.

Hong Ling didn't know where she was taking her, and didn't know if Qi Yuan and Shen Yanhuan outside had followed.

There was no one in the courtyard, and it seemed that only she and the unidentified "Xie Ling" were left in the quiet space.

"Here we are." This was the first sentence she heard from Xie Ling.

In front of him was a hollow carved wooden door painted with a beast totem, the inside was dark, only the tiny spots of light that jumped in from the tiny gaps in the hollow could bring a weak light source.

On the bottom near the door, there was a layer of gray cloth. I don't know what was covered under it. It rolled up and down until it couldn't be seen in the dark of the room.

Hong Ling took two steps back vigilantly, with a silver thread and red lock wrapped around her wrist, "What's inside?"

Xie Ling stared at the thing in her hand with great interest, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, "Don't you know if you push it away and take a look?"

The fog in the forest thickened again, and a few chilly birdsong could be heard in the distance.Hong Ling pursed her lips, her eyes did not leave Xie Ling's face, she swayed but did not move.

"Aren't you going in? Your master... and brother? They're all inside." As he spoke, Xie Ling suddenly had a strange smile on his face. She pushed open the door, and the silence inside was suddenly broken. Weak sunlight penetrated through the layers of fog and poured into the room. Under the gray cloth, people could be vaguely seen lying on the ground.

Hong Ling couldn't help but asked aloud: "Who the hell are you?! Xie Ling, you're not Xie Ling, right? How could Xie Ling..."

"Look at me..." Xie Ling took her hand and stroked his face, "Sister..."

"Ahhh!" Hong Ling covered her ears trying to block her voice.But how is that possible, Xie Ling replied, "Sister, you and I have been separated since we were young. I have been investigating our life experiences since I met you on Chenghuang Street. But when I found the truth, I couldn't find it. You. Why did you leave, why did my brother only find you, why didn't you come to see me?"
