Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

That night, Xiao Wu knocked on Lin Jingzhe's door.

"Little Jingzhe, I haven't seen you for a year and you have grown a lot taller."

"Brother Wu." Lin Jingzhe shouted excitedly: "Didn't sister-in-law follow?"

"Sister-in-law, she took a break and didn't come." Xiao Wu said, "Let me tell you one thing, Winter Solstice is very talented. She has already reached the seventh level of Qi training."

Seventh level of Qi training?

Lin Jingzhe's heart sank. He still hasn't figured out whether the senior brothers really went down the mountain and plunged into nature after returning to secular life, or if there were other accidents.

"If nothing happens, he may be qualified for the position of senior brother next month. At this time, the master will go down the mountain to recruit disciples, and he will have the final say in the entire Star Reaching Observation."

"Brother Xiao Wu, can you please let Brother Dongzhi take it easy and don't let him become a senior brother so early?"

"Xiao Jingzhe, this is not something you can say." Xiao Wu frowned and looked at the young man who was already waist-high with him.

Lin Jingzhe explained: "I suspect that Senior Brother's position is a trap."

So, he told Xiao Wu about meeting his senior brother in the back mountain six months ago.

"Then we can't be sure that Senior Brother has really entered the cemetery." Xiao Wu said.

"I'm not sure whether the senior brother really entered the cemetery in the back mountain, but after the second day, he returned to secular life. Brother Xiao Wu, don't you think it's strange?"

"It's strange, but I'm not sure yet." Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "Would you like to go to the cemetery and have a look?"

"It's late at night now. We can use the darkness to sneak into the cemetery quietly. However, we have to dress up." After Lin Jingzhe finished speaking, he picked up a face towel from the bed.

"Give me the face towel, what about you?"

"I have this."

"Ye Xing Yi, where did you go to get it?"

"This is blackened with charcoal ash. It is not a real night clothes."

"Have you already started preparing?"

"Yeah, but my strength is too low, so I never dare to visit the cemetery at night."

"Okay, Brother Wu will accompany you this time."

The two of them tied up with scarves and did not deliberately disguise themselves, because they were still in the public eye, and if they did anything too hastily, it would attract the attention of interested people.

The two of them took advantage of the darkness and the terrain in the darkness to get into the back mountain.

There is a half-shaped crescent moon in the sky, and the crescent moon casts a dim moonlight.

"Brother Wu, there seems to be someone in front of you."

"Let's get closer."

The two of them crouched and slowly approached the figure.

"okokokok......"

There was a burst of ups and downs of music ahead, which suddenly made people think of it and make their hearts sway.

"It's so unlucky that there are still people working in the back mountain in the middle of the night." Xiao Wu spat and said, "Little Jingzhe, it seems we can't visit the cemetery at night."

"We have no choice but to retreat first." Melo's music struck Lin Jingzhe's vision, causing him to blush suddenly and gasp for breath.

As the two of them stepped back, they seemed to have finished their work and heard the man speak.

The two of them stopped when they heard the man's voice. The voice was extremely familiar, and it was clearly the sound of the winter solstice.

"This kid in Winter Solstice actually hides in the back mountain for a tryst at night."

"Is that woman my sister-in-law?"

"It's not like that." Xiao Wu said: "This boy is so lucky in winter solstice, he makes others envious!"

"Let's sneak away quietly. If we are discovered, everyone will be embarrassed to death." Xiao Wu added, then moved away, crouching and hiding in the night.

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Wu stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Jingzhe bid farewell to each other and watched his back fading away.

"Am I really mistaken? The position of the senior brother is not a trap? If it is really a trap, why didn't the friends accompanying them tell them? If they didn't know, why didn't they accompany the senior brother to return to secular life?"

Naturally, no one told him these answers, so he could only make some insinuations to find the answers.

A few days later, Xiao Wu did not come to the door. I wonder if he forgot the agreement.

Li Jingzhe could only wait, because he did not dare to visit the cemetery at night, and because his strength was too low, he could not bring the news out if anything happened.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month passes quietly.

The eldest brother returned to secular life, and Dong Zhi naturally became the eldest brother.

The position of the senior brother hovers between the seventh level of Qi training, and there are few who have broken through to the eighth level.

In four and a half years, he has gone from a muddy boy in the mountains to a senior brother who is respected by everyone and is a master of the seventh level of Qi training, which is enough to prove that he is very talented.

At this moment, the winter solstice is full of scenery and pride.

But at the critical moment when he was attracting the attention of thousands of people, he asked his disciples to return to secular life.

At this moment, once every six months, the master who came down to accept a disciple agreed.

After returning to secular life during the winter solstice, the second-ranked disciple will naturally take over.

In full view of everyone, Dongzhi sat on the fly whisk he had used when he went up the mountain four years ago. As Ziyu recited the spell, he floated away high into the distance.

Watching the two figures flying further and further away, Lin Jingzhe felt confused.

He didn't know the meaning of Winter Solstice's move, let alone the true intention of the Master of Ziyu Temple.

But as he made insinuations, he realized a possibility. Purple Jade Temple Master's move was to cover people's ears and dispel their wariness.

Twenty-nine senior brothers who have returned to secular life in the Star-Zhaing Guan will not be seen alive or dead, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of careful people.

However, Ziyu Temple Master suddenly came up with a fair and just way to return to secular life, which will eliminate the worries of those who are interested.

After all, their worries and doubts were only temporary, because those who doubted and worried for too long are already dead.

Watching the winter solstice go away, Lin Jingzhe slowly returned to the dormitory.

Before the dormitory bed was warm, Xiao Wu knocked on the door.

Opening the door, Xiao Wu walked in and handed over a package of spiritual stones.

"Brother Xiao Wu, what does this mean?" Lin Jingzhe wondered how he had accumulated so many spiritual stones.

"This is for you, Xiao Dongzhi."

"Brother Winter Solstice!" Lin Jingzhe was dumbfounded, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Why are you crying? You are a grown man now. Do you think you are still the little brat you were before?" Xiao Wu cursed and continued: "Winter Solstice has something to explain."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Jingzhe took the spirit stone, put it aside, and asked.

"He wants to ask you to help him take care of his family." Xiao Wu said while starting to curse again: "I don't know why I still say such unlucky words when I have returned to secular life and returned home during the winter solstice."

Lin Jingzhe seemed to have guessed something, and tears finally rolled down her face.

"Oh, little Jingzhe, why are you crying? I don't know how to comfort people."

"Brother Dongzhi may be dead." As soon as the words came to his mouth, Lin Jingzhe stopped himself.

If Dong Zhi really wanted Xiao Wu to know the truth, she might tell him directly without beating around the bush and let herself tell him.

Maybe, Dong Zhi didn't want Xiao Wu to hit an egg against a stone in order to avenge him.

Xiao Wu has a straightforward mind and a single-minded mind, and will not beat around the bush.

However, if he really knew that Dong Zhi died at the hands of his mentor, he might really fight for justice.

Lin Jingzhe didn't know what method Dong Zhi would use to deal with Ziyu, but since he had explained his funeral affairs to himself, he would definitely have a near-miss in life and a narrow escape from death.

But no matter what, I can't mess up now.

Li Jingzhe wiped away his tears and told Xiao Wu: "Brother Wu, don't tell anyone that I burst into tears today, not even Master."

"Why?"

"I don't want others to know that I'm weak."

"Okay, as long as only your brothers know about your scandal."

"Thank you, Brother Wu."

Looking at Xiao Wu's retreating back, Lin Jingzhe pinched her thigh and groaned in pain.

"Brother Wu, don't blame Jingzhe for being cruel, but this will at least allow us to live a little longer."

Lin Jingzhe raised his head and looked at the distant mountain peaks, and his belief became even stronger.

Late at night, Lin Jingzhe pushed open the dormitory, put on his homemade night clothes, crouched and walked into the back mountain.

In the middle of the month, the winter solstice has not yet come, and the snow has not fallen yet, but the autumn wind has arrived, and the cold air has entered the body, making me feel cold all of a sudden.

The autumn wind howls at night, and the full moon shines in the sky.

Lin Jingzhe crouched and walked through the back mountain, getting closer and closer to the forbidden area in the back mountain.

All the truth still lies in the Houshan Cemetery. If you want to know whether the senior brothers were really forced to return to secular life, you should visit the Houshan Cemetery.

Therefore, he must take the risk to find out, otherwise, all conjectures will be in vain.

The Houshan Cemetery was close at hand, and he couldn't wait to know what secrets it contained.

arrive.

When he stepped into the cemetery, his brows twitched.

At a glance, dozens of grave heads suddenly rose up in the cemetery, which made people feel as if they were among them, and a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.

In the back mountain cemetery, there are only tombs except tombs. These tombs have no epitaphs, only green weeds.

In the overgrown cemetery, Lin Jingzhe vigorously counted the large and small graves. There were more than forty in total.

"There are so many graves and not even an epitaph?" Lin Jingzhe frowned and suddenly stepped on a hard object. He lowered his head and saw that it was a jade pendant.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he looked carefully and saw that this jade pendant looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

A figure suddenly flashed in my mind. Four years ago, when I received the spiritual stone for the first time, I was blocked by a group of people and robbed the spiritual stone.

A young man who was collecting things used a fireball technique on them, but the leader of Ziyu Temple who came over used a fly whisk to tie him up and then took him away.

At that time, I was deeply impressed by that young man. The young man was wearing a jade-colored jade pendant on his waist, so naturally he could not escape his eyes.

Four years later, the jade pendant appeared in the cemetery again, which made him shudder even though he was prepared for it.

Shiqi's jade pendant appeared here, and all fools knew that Shiqi was not driven down the mountain, but was buried in the cemetery at the back of the mountain.

Just as he was stunned, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

He was suddenly startled, clenched his palms, turned his head and looked back, and saw a young man wearing a Taoist robe, disheveled hair, dull face, and wandering around with his eyes closed slowly walking over.

"Big brother."
