"Senior Brother Xiao Ran, why are you here?" Yun Ling asked.
The monk in front of her was none other than Baili Xiaoran. After leaving Longyou Secret Realm, he also established a foundation.
"Junior Sister Ling, why are you here?" Baili Xiaoran asked without answering.
"I was in Gujing Village, downstream of this stream, and I noticed that there was a high-level ban here. Now it suddenly disappeared, so I came here to have a look." She answered half-truthfully, not wanting to tell the real answer.
"Did Senior Brother Xiao Ran break this restriction??" Yun Ling asked next. She was very curious about Baili Xiao Ran's sudden appearance here.
Baili Xiaoran shook his head, and he released his palm to reveal a jade talisman, "I used this jade talisman to temporarily shut down the formation before I could come in."
Seeming to see Yun Ling's confusion, he explained: "After I established the foundation, I came to Xuanling Sect to pay homage to True Lord Qingwei. This restriction was set by her. She knew that I wanted to come here to take a look, so she placed it there."
Lend me this jade talisman."
Yun Ling was even more confused.
"This Gushu Village is just a mortal village. Why did Master set up a formation here? Why did Senior Brother Xiao Ran come here?"
Baili Xiaoran sighed softly, "Does Junior Sister Ling know the rumors about my birth?"
Yun Ling nodded.
There was such a sensation when he was born that no one in the entire Longyou world knew about it except those who were in retreat.
Even junior monks like her can hear anecdotes from twenty years ago every time they take a nap in the teahouse.
"Those rumors are true." Baili Xiaoran's tone was bleak, revealing sadness.
He didn't wait for Yun Ling to speak, and then continued: "Those rumors only know that my mother died tragically outside Xuanling City. In fact, she died in this ancient tree village, right in front of this ancient well."
"Only a few people know about this matter. Zhenjun Qingwei set up this formation and did not tell the outside world where my mother died. She just didn't want outsiders to pry here and destroy the traces here. Over the years, we have all
We are doing our best to track down the murderer. I also hope that Junior Sister Ling will keep it a secret."
"Senior Brother Xiao Ran, do you know where this Gushu Villager went?" she asked eagerly.
Twenty years ago, the same time.
Could it be that the disappearance of the people from Gushu Village was related to the death of her master?
Baili Xiaoran shook his head, "I don't know about that. When True Lord Qingwei came here, this village was already deserted. We all suspected that the murderer took them away."
Yun Ling staggered a few steps after hearing this. Could it be that everyone in Gushu Village had encountered something unexpected?
"Junior sister Ling, what's the reason for this Gushu Villager? Are there any mortal relatives among them?" Baili Xiao Ran asked with some worry when he saw Yun Ling acting so rude.
He knew the origin of Junior Sister Ling.
"Senior brother Xiao Ran, do you know that although I come from Gujing Village," she smiled sadly, "but I am not from Gujing Village, I am an orphan who was picked up."
"My adoptive father told me that when he picked me up, there were no missing children in the surrounding villages. I was most likely from this Gushu Village. I have been looking for them for so many years. Unexpectedly, their disappearance was actually related to
It's related to Master." Having said this, Yun Ling didn't want to hide it anymore.
"You said that Master died here tragically, and those villagers are no longer here? All my years of practice turned out to be in vain." She thought of this, and her grief was uncontrollable.
Baili Xiaoran didn't know that Yun Ling had such a life experience, so he felt a little pity.
Seeing her sad expression, he hurriedly comforted her and said, "Junior Sister Ling, please don't be too sad. Since the murderer took away all the mortals in this ancient tree village, there must be something they need to do. They should still be alive. Otherwise, there is no danger."
Why bother taking people away when you kill them on the spot."
Yun Ling was unmoved, "Maybe we just took them away, threw them into the land of monsters, and killed them with borrowed knives."
Most mortals are powerless and can do anything for the monks. It doesn't matter how many mortals the monks kill, but they cannot kill too many, otherwise a powerful nightmare will breed during the advancement. That person may be afraid of the nightmare's backlash.
They just used other methods to kill people.
"No, that person is a demon cultivator, they are not afraid of nightmares!" Baili Xiaoran said eagerly, losing his former gentleness.
Demon cultivator Yun Ling raised his head and stared at him.
He probably knew that he had made a mistake, and sighed: "The Nascent Soul Masters who rescued Kong Lingyan back then found residual demonic energy in its wounds. My master and Qingwei Master carefully investigated and found out that the Demon Qi was found in its wounds.
Jun Bailu seems to have appeared near Xuanling Mountain, but there is no conclusive evidence."
"Demon Lord Bai Lu?" She had never heard of this name, and she never paid attention to demon cultivators.
Baili Xiaoran knew that he had revealed too much, and Yun Ling was not an outsider, so he simply explained everything, "The demon cultivators all practice in Beiming, and rarely appear in our Longyou spiritual veins. It's natural that you don't know. This Bai Lu
He is a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. People in Beiming call him the Buddha Demon Lord. There are four sects of the Demon Sect, namely Demon Palace, Demon Camp, Xuanming Palace and Wanxue Sect. He is the third member of the Xuanming Palace.
One, the person in charge of the Pagoda Palace."
"Didn't the masters go to him?"
Baili Xiaoran shook his head, "He has been in seclusion in Beiming for many years, and my father couldn't find him even if he went there in person. Besides, our spiritual cultivators and demon cultivators had an agreement tens of thousands of years ago, with the Ming River as the boundary, and the well
Water does not interfere with rivers. Without conclusive evidence, Jianzong and Xuanling Sect cannot rush to attack."
"Then this matter must continue to remain unclear?"
"No!" Baili Xiaoran said with firm eyes and a firm tone, "I will not let my mother die like this. It is necessary to find the real murderer and kill the enemy with my own hands, so that she will not waste her life to give birth to me."
"Junior Sister Ling, you have to cheer up. If your relatives are really from Gushu Village, then they may still be waiting for your rescue somewhere. You must not lose heart. You still need to practice more and work hard to advance. Only those at the Golden Core stage can
Only by cultivating yourself can you cross the Ming River and go to Beiming."
"You are right, thank you Senior Brother Xiao Ran."
Demon Lord Bai Lu, she remembered.
"Junior sister Ling, why don't we make an agreement. When we both achieve the Golden Elixir, how about we go to the land of Beiming to find the truth together!"
"good!"
Yun Ling and Baili Xiao Ran high-fived each other and made an oath.
Thinking of Luo Ninghuan's message to her, she asked: "Senior brother Xiao Ran came to Xuanling Sect this time. In addition to visiting the master's home, will he also go to the Luo family in Lianhu to visit relatives?"
The Luo family in Lianhu is Baili Xiaoran's maternal grandfather's family, and according to etiquette, he should also pay a visit.
"Yes, I have made an appointment with cousin Ning Huan. When I return from here, I will meet her in Xuanling City and return to Lianhu Lake together."
For so many years, he has never had the chance to return to the Luo family. He heard from his cousin that there are other families that are trying to take action against Lianhu, and he wants to go back and have a look.
"Junior sister Ling, why don't you go as before?" he invited with a smile.
"I think so too!"
The message Luo Ninghuan sent her was to invite her to go back to Lianhu Lake to visit Master's family, and then go out to practice together.
