But when I saw this jade plaque, I understood it in my heart.
I can't take Zhang Mingyu away from here. If nothing else happens, he left this jade token so that I could go on smoothly in Badong Village.
According to what he said before, people from Tianshi Mountain will go to Badong Village to participate in the Immortal Fair.
I put away the jade tablet and the three incense sticks with some complexity, and then walked out after taking another look at the entire temple. At this time, the thunder was still there, and the souls of the dead were still fearless of death.
I do not understand.
But it seemed like I understood.
Dissipation may actually be a relief for the dead souls here.
But does this have anything to do with Zhang Mingyu?
I couldn't figure it out, but I could only look at the statue standing on the temple for a moment and then walk out of the mountain forest.
"Zhang Mingyu, I'll wait for you in Niang'er Village."
I murmured quietly.
It wasn't until I got outside the forest that I slowly exhaled, calmed down my mood, and walked towards the direction of Badong Village.
Although this trip failed to take away Zhang Mingyu, it at least confirmed for me that Zhang Mingyu should be fine for now. Only with this point, I can feel relieved.
And next, I should continue to do what I should do.
When I saw Mr. Taishan Mansion again, I already knew that I had absolutely no choice and no way out. I could only keep walking until I saw him again and was sure that the last chance he mentioned was.
What.
Before that, what I need is to solve the problem in Badong Village, give an explanation to the five families, and also give an explanation to myself, and then find the clues to the fifth coffin.
Regarding the clues to the fifth coffin, I actually already have some guesses. Although there are no marks on the dragon-hunting map, I can actually figure out some things based on the people and things involved along the way.
Just need to confirm.
This time when I returned to Badong Village, I still didn’t waste much time. It still took me about three days to reach Badong Village.
What surprised me a little was that after this trip, including the time spent in the Dead Soul River, which was only about seven days, Badong Village had already undergone considerable changes.
Although the former Badong Village was not deserted, it gave people a feeling of being isolated from the outside world, and not everyone could enter. When I first came here, if it weren't for Liu Yunsheng, I might not have come here.
So easy to get in.
However, at this time, Badong Village seemed to be open to the public.
Although there are still disciples from five families guarding the place that must be passed to enter Badong Village, they are only guarding. At a glance, you can see a lot of people coming in and out, which is very lively.
I looked a little surprised, but after thinking about it, I understood.
The fair is coming soon.
Huangquan Road has been destroyed again.
Now it can be said that the five companies have no worries, so naturally there is no need to be as closed as before.
Thinking of this, I walked directly into Badong Village. The five disciples guarding the entrance looked at me with surprise in their eyes, and they all bowed to me in unison.
One of the Liu family disciples wearing a snake-shaped mask even trotted towards Badong Village immediately after saluting me. It seemed that he was going to inform the head of the fifth family that I was back.
This move also attracted the attention of many people who were walking in and out of Badong Village at this time. They focused their attention on me, some were confused and some were surprised.
Without exception, they all seemed to be guessing about my identity.
If it were before, I might be nervous, a little reserved and uncomfortable, but now I feel very calm.
Before the people from the five families came out, I looked at a disciple of the Huang family who was guarding the entrance and asked, "Where are the five family heads now?"
"Ancestral land." Huang family disciple said nervously.
I nodded and walked directly towards the ancestral land.
Not long after, Liu Yuncheng was driven out of the village, along with a young woman, Liu Yunting.
"Back."
Liu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was me.
I looked at him with a somewhat complicated mood.
"I want to go to the ancestral land."
Liu Yunsheng said: "I will take you there. The five family heads are also at the ancestral land. They are waiting for you."
I nodded slightly.
At this time Liu Yunting came over and patted me on the shoulder.
"Mumu, are you so proud?"
Liu Yunting walked around me curiously, as if she wanted to see through me. After walking around, she looked at Liu Yuncheng with some disappointment.
"Brother, he is not from our fifth family, why can he enter the Immortal Sect?"
"Also...he is so stupid."
"It's not interesting at all."
Liu Yunsheng looked at me apologetically, then knocked Liu Yunting on the head and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense when you get to the ancestral land later, otherwise you will be locked up and I won't be able to save you."
"pain!"
Liu Yunting muttered something and closed her mouth with some dissatisfaction, but she still looked at me.
I looked to the other side uncomfortably.
This was the first time I saw Liu Yunting after we said goodbye to the Immortal Sect. It was obvious that she had a very good relationship with Liu Yuncheng, her brother and sister, and her personality was no different from that in the Immortal Sect.
only……
I glanced at her and then at Liu Yunsheng. Finally, I didn’t think about it any more and just asked, “Have the people from Tianshi Mountain arrived?”
Liu Yunsheng shook his head slightly: "Not yet."
"Those who have come so far are basically some small sects from the Qiren Realm, as well as the vassal wild immortal forces of our five families, such as Maoshan, Miaojiang Gu Village, and the Corpse Exorcist lineage have not yet arrived."
"Tianshi Mountain has always been mysterious, so it should be a little later."
"However, this time, although most of the forces and capable people in the world of strange people were invited to the Immortal Association, this time the five family heads made a decision."
"What decision?" I asked as I walked.
Liu Yunsheng said with a complicated expression: "This fairy meeting is only for you."
When I heard this sentence, I paused slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Yunsheng explained: "In fact, it can be said that the previous immortal gatherings were held by the ancestors of our five immortal families in order to let the reputation of our five families shock the entire world of strange people."
"It is also for this reason that our five-family group has achieved its current scale and status in the Northeast."
"But now the five ancestors of the Immortal Family..."
Liu Yunsheng paused for a moment before continuing: "So although the Immortal Meeting is still held this time, it is different from the past, at least for a different purpose."
"The five family heads want you to ring the Immortal Burial Bell."
"When the Immortal Burial Bell rings, the Immortal Meeting will end."
"What exactly is the Immortal Burial Bell?" I asked.
From the first time I heard this word, they have been talking about the Immortal Burial Bell, but they didn't tell me what it was. I only knew it when I saw the five ancestors of the Immortal Family on Huangquan Road.
guess.
The Immortal Burial Bell may be a heritage artifact.
If it rings, I will be the only immortal of the five families.
And my guess seems to be right.
When I asked, Liu Yunsheng explained: "The Immortal Burial Bell is an inherited object of our five families. Generally speaking, it can only be seen when inheriting the position of the family head, but even the family heads of the five families are not qualified to ring it.
"
"From the time I learned about the Immortal Burial Bell to now, no one has ever rang the Immortal Burial Bell. It is said that only those with the approval of the five ancestors are qualified to try ringing it."
"But it's only qualified."
"You mean, even if you get the qualification, you may not be able to win?" I was a little surprised.
Liu Yunsheng thought for a moment and said, "That should be the case."
He smiled bitterly.
"But this is also my guess, because I don't have the qualifications."
"To be honest, I have never seen the Immortal Burial Bell."
"I only know that in order to ring the Immortal Burial Bell, it seems that you have to pass a test. As for what the test is, I don't know."
"But..." Liu Yunsheng looked at me.
"Since the five ancestors have chosen you, and the five family heads are also waiting for you to ring the Immortal Burial Bell, you should be able to ring it."
