In the front yard, a huge black and white mourning shed was erected.
A fine coffin was placed in the funeral shed, and a large "Dian" sign was hung in the center.
On the desk in front, there are all kinds of spiritual tablets, white candles, and incense sticks.
Kneeling on both sides were disciples of Qingyuan Temple wearing sackcloth and mourning.
The two girls closest to the coffin are Chu Ling'er on the left.
Chu Ling'er cried until she fainted several times in the past few days. She woke up and fainted, fainted and woke up again. She lost more than ten kilograms, her eye circles were red and swollen, and her mouth was white... She was the one who died in that war.
One of the survivors, all the more than 20,000 monks in Juxian Town were buried there.
At the moment of the explosion, she pinched the life-saving seal that her master had left for her, and led several people to fly to the top of the city.
Kneeling on the right is Xiong Miaoyun. She is also wearing sackcloth and mourning, and her expression is depressed. This also expresses a meaning to everyone who came to express condolences. Those rumors that are spreading wildly in the market are true. The Giant Bear Sect is about to marry with Qingyuan Temple.
, but Jiang Yang died there before they could get married.
Then came Cui Ru, Xiong Da and others, all of whom were disciples of Qingyuan Temple.
Several of the helpers all wore white silk ribbons around their waists.
Among them are Lao Huang, Xun Yijian and several others...
Tread——
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and someone went up the mountain to express condolences again.
The "filial sons" bent down and kowtowed, then raised their heads and found old acquaintances offering condolences.
Zhao Juan of Shuxian Sect, now he looks bad and often covers his mouth to cough. It would be better if the palm from Shentu City that attacked him didn't kill him.
There was another person in front of him with gray hair on his temples and some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He was County Sheriff Yan!
After hearing the bad news, County Sheriff Yan rushed over from Wushan County.
As soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to come over to express his condolences.
When he really saw a coffin placed in the mourning hall, with the words "Qingyuan Guan Jiangyang Jiang Gong's spiritual place" written on it, County Sheriff Yan couldn't help but sigh, with slightly red eyes.
After putting on three sticks of incense, Governor Yan left the mourning shed without saying anything.
Zhao Juan followed closely, feeling heavy.
.....
In the evening, several people gathered in the backyard of Qingyuan Temple.
The waterfall rumbled, but the owner of the Taoist temple could no longer wait.
There have never been so many lanterns lit under the eaves. The bright candlelight dispels the darkness, but it cannot dispel the sadness in everyone's hearts.
There were several people sitting around a table.
Xiong Miaoyun, Shangguan Feng, Xun Yijian, Yan County Sheriff, Zhao Jun.
Lao Huang and Xiong Da stood on one side.
Xiong Miaoyun was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing sackcloth and mourning, with a gloomy expression and swollen eyes, perhaps because he had been crying a lot in the past few days.
Sheriff Yan glanced at Xiong Miaoyun, finally looked at Shangguan Feng, and said:
"This little brother, you were also in Zhennanguan at that time. Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"
When County Sheriff Yan received Zhao Jun's letter, Zhao Jun said in the letter that more than 20,000 innocent cultivators had died in Zhennanguan Pass, and asked him to come and find out clearly.
On the way, Magistrate Yan briefly learned about the incident, but what he learned was not very clear.
Shangguan Feng put away his usual look of wanting to be beaten that didn't look good to anyone, and he no longer kept saying "this young master" on his lips.
"When I arrived, it was already the second day of the war. At that time, there was a fifth-level dark moon white tiger in the canyon that had transformed. It was confronting the only remaining monks with more than a dozen dark moon white tigers."
Except for a few people present, everyone who did not participate in the battle took a deep breath.
Especially Governor Yan and Zhao Jun, one was far away in Wushan County at that time, and the other stayed in the temple waiting for news.
A fifth-level one has transformed, and there are more than a dozen Dark Moon White Tigers... This is a configuration only found in the passes near Wushan County.
It’s really hard to imagine how the small town of Nanguan managed to survive?
"When I arrived, I found that the underground formation at Zhennanguan had not been completely closed. After scaring Shentu City away, I hurriedly went to the underground formation..."
"There, I met the elders of the Giant Bear Sect fighting with the three masters and disciples of Shentu City. When they saw me coming, they immediately ran away. I worked together with the elders to close the underground formation."
"As for the fighting situation outside, I don't know exactly how it was fought, but I found these things underground..."
As he spoke, Shangguan Feng took out a few small flags and threw them on the table.
"The Soul-Calling Flag!"
Several people who know the goods recognized this thing at a glance.
Shangguan Feng added: "It is indeed a soul-calling flag, a product of the Demon Sect. It should be that the three masters and apprentices from Shentu City saw me coming and didn't have time to take these things away, so they kept them."
"In other words, someone used the monster hunting conference and the hands of monster beasts to kill our monks in Juxian Town... set up formations underground, summon souls, and refine evil objects?"
Shangguan Feng nodded: "It's Shentu City!"
"So that's it." Zhao Juan said angrily, clenching his teeth, "Not only do they want to capture the four-eyed spirit fox, but they also want to refine evil things!"
"Four-eyed fox?" Xun Yijian wondered.
"Is Xun Jianxian still pretending to be crazy and acting stupid at this moment?" Zhao Juan glanced coldly, full of hostility towards Xun Yijian.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xun Yi didn't understand why.
On the day of the incident, he was not present at all. He and Lao Huang were drunk at the back of Qingyuan Mountain and were not awakened until the loud noise. When they arrived, Zhennanguan had been buried and reduced to ruins.
"You're still pretending!"
Zhao Juan slammed the table, stood up, grabbed Xun Yijian's collar, and was about to punch him hard.
Xun Yijian blocked it easily and said doubtfully:
"What am I pretending to be? Tell me clearly!"
Lao Huang, who had been standing all the time, took a sip of his wine and said at the right time: "Zhao Juan, you have misunderstood him. Xun Yijian doesn't know about this at all."
"Senior Huang, you were present when the three disciples of Shentu City were interrogated. The bald man said that they came here to open the Zhennan Pass and capture the Four-Eyed Spirit Fox."
"At that time, we were still wondering, how could a Shentu city in the divine elixir realm have the confidence to catch the four-eyed spirit fox?"
"Until Xun Yijian arrives!"
"He and Shen Tucheng are in the same group!"
The more Xun Yijian listened, the more confused he became. What does this mean?
As mentioned just now, Shentu City was the main culprit of the Zhennanguan Massacre, which killed more than 20,000 monks.
I, Xun Yijian, am an upright person, so why am I on the same side as Shen Tucheng?
Lao Huang raised his eyes and said again: "We were all misled by Xun Yijian's sudden arrival!"
Zhao Jun: "???"
Lao Huang looked at Xun Yijian and asked directly: "Why did you come to Juxian Town?"
Xun Yijian did not hide anything and said truthfully: "In the early morning of that day, I saw a sword energy rising to the sky on the top of Xuanyuan Hall, Mingchen unsheathing it, so I came. Cui Ru can bear witness to me!"
Cui Ru said: "That's the truth."
After Zhao Jun heard this, he frowned:
"Aren't you here to capture the four-eyed spirit fox?"
"Of course not!"
Xun Yijian immediately shook his head and said: "I don't know about the four-eyed spirit fox at all. What four-eyed spirit fox does it have to do with this matter?"
Lao Huang shrugged: "Look, he is indeed innocent... That day, we learned some news from the big bald man. Xun Yijian appeared in front of us at this time. We took it for granted.
The one who captured the four-toned spirit fox was Xun Yijian, but in fact, he was not!"
Xun Yijian became more and more confused, what is this and what is it?
Is there anyone who can explain this to him clearly?
Zhao Juan let go of his hand the next moment, staggered and sat back, muttering to himself:
"In other words, even if the four-eyed spirit fox appears, no one can catch it! Shentu City is not prepared to catch it at all."
"He just wants us to die! He's good at summoning spirits and refining evil things!"
Xiong Da suddenly spoke with a serious expression:
"The four-eyed spirit fox is just an excuse used by Shen Tucheng to deceive the world. Refining evil objects is the real purpose of Shen Tucheng!"
Lao Huang nodded: "Exactly!"
.......
Sheriff Yan already understood and took a deep breath:
"It turns out to be like this, it turns out to be like this..."
Everyone was silent.
"But why did all the 20,000 monks die in the valley? The combat power of Juxian Town has always been fierce. In the past few years, I have met Guan Kuitong. Even if the monsters of Guimu Mountain come menacingly, you can still retreat to the pass.
..."
Sheriff Yan couldn't understand.
I can't figure it out at all.
"Lord Sheriff, do you still think that the 20,000 monks in Juxian Town are just a bunch of fools who only know how to rush into battle and don't know how to cherish their lives?"
Big tears welled up in Xiong's eyes.
They say that men don’t shed tears easily, but...
"What do you mean?"
Sheriff Yan stood up subconsciously and frowned.
Xiong Da wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes fiercely and said:
"With Sir Guan's talent in commanding the army, we will not fight to the death with those monster beasts... However, when those of us who had fought a battle retreated, we discovered that Shentu City had ordered an urgent
The city gates were closed and we couldn't open them even if we screamed. The medicines given out were actually mixed with poison. Even the most powerful firepower to suppress the monsters, the hundreds of artillery on the city walls, were stopped for us..."
"What did you say?"
Sheriff Yan's eyes widened, almost bulging out. He staggered and almost fell, but luckily someone helped him behind him.
"Actually, that battle should have been fought on the first night. At that time, 20,000 of us had just experienced a day of fierce fighting and were exhausted. That night, the demonic beast organized an army to attempt a sneak attack. Three dark moon white tigers, for a whole
Three!”
When he said this, Xiong Da's whole body was trembling.
He would never forget the eyes of countless ghost wolves in the dark night, and the three huge tiger bodies.
Xiong Miaoyun stroked his arm to calm Xiong Da's mood.
Xiong Da is one of the few survivors. Only those who have experienced it personally will know how hard it was that night.
"What happened next?" Zhao Jun asked anxiously.
"Later... Chief Cang Wu died in battle, and Chief Jiang temporarily took over the command of the entire army and led us to kill the enemy without hesitation, from the dark night until the early morning of the next day, until the last trace of strength was exhausted
, we finally repelled the attack of the monsters! We also lost most of our combat power. That night, nearly 10,000 of our troops died,"
"Ling Ming, we are taking a rest, but Chief Jiang told us that we must not sit still and wait for death."
"We climbed up the cliff, set up a trap, and beat back the vanguard of the monsters until the transformed Dark Moon White Tiger joined the battle..."
Sheriff Yan looked at Xiong Da, "Based on the time, the underground formations had not been shut down at that time. How did you survive? Did Shentu City join the war?"
"If he joins the war, he will be a human being for once." Xiong Miaoyun suddenly spoke, and after sneering a few times, he held back tears.
"Didn't he fight back?"
"Of course not."
Xiong Miaoyun shook his head, and the scene from a few days ago resurfaced in his mind, where the young Taoist priest, one man and one sword, took the lead in attacking the monster.
Tragic and desolate.
Even though his legs were broken, even though he was beaten so hard that he couldn't stand up, he still didn't take a step back!
As long as he is here, the human race will not lose!
In the following time, Xiong Miaoyun described the scenes he saw on the city wall.
That kind of impact made people like Lao Huang and Xun Yijian, who were accustomed to big scenes, couldn't help but be speechless.
"It's him who is trying to keep the Nanguan Pass intact!" This chapter has been completed!
