The old naughty hermit smiled at his childish heart and said:
"Childlike boy, you finally remembered. You really want to ruin this old man like me."
The childlike innocence hugged the hermit and sighed:
"Hermit, I miss you too."
After Tong Xin and Yin Xiu hugged each other, they followed Yin Tianxue to the lobby.
In the lobby, Yin Tianqi and Yin Hao kept walking back and forth, and Yin Hao murmured:
"Why hasn't Tianxue come yet? The food will be cold by now!"
Yin Tianqi looked at Yin Tianxue and others walking in front and said:
"Dad, don't leave, Tianxue is coming."
Seeing Yin Tianxue walking into the lobby with a smile on his face, Yin Hao joked:
"What's wrong, good daughter, if you have something happy, please share it with daddy!"
Yin Tianxue shook his head and said:
"Nothing, nothing!"
Tong Zhan and the four others also walked in at this moment. When everyone arrived, Yin Tianqi opened his mouth and said:
"Everyone is here, it's time to eat.
Tianxue, dad knew you were back, so he asked me to go to the kitchen to give instructions and ask the kitchen to prepare your favorite food. You must eat more later!"
Under the laughter and laughter, the family had a lively lunch.
After lunch and a short rest, Tong Zhan proposed to leave.
He and Yin Tianxue originally planned to stay outside for a few more days, but after Tong Xin regained her memory, Tong Xin proposed to return to Shuiyuedongtian to worship their father.
Of course, Tong Zhan and Yin Tianxue also understand Tong Xin's mood. After being reborn as a human being and understanding family ties, Tong Xin certainly wants to go home and see them.
Yin Hao smiled and said:
"I know you are busy!
I welcome you here at any time, I still have the strength to add a few more pairs of chopsticks to Yujian Villa."
After confessing to Yin Tianqi and Yin Hao, several people rode horses and rushed to Shuiyue Cave.
But when a few people arrived in front of the barrier of Shuiyue Cave, Doudou proposed to go to Hell Valley first.
So several people turned their horses and came to Hell Valley.
The Hell Valley, a forbidden place of death that used to be filled with Zhurong Fire, now no longer has Zhurong Fire, and has turned into a valley full of cliffs.
The few people kept walking forward in Hell Valley, and by chance, they came to the caecal path where Duan Fengyun and Yueya once walked out of Hell Valley.
Everyone originally gave up the idea of moving forward when they saw the rugged road ahead, but the hermit, who had always been an old naughty boy, looked ahead with a heavy face and said:
"I want to go to the front and take a look.
I had a hunch that there was someone I knew in front of me, so I wanted to go and have a look.
It’s okay if you don’t go, just let me, an old man, go in alone.”
Since the hermit cultivators have proposed this idea, there is no reason why Tong Zhan and others should not go.
Tong Bo took the weak Doudou, Tong Xin took the hermit, Yin Tianxue and Tong Zhan were paired up. The six of them were divided into three teams, and they walked one after another to the place where Yue Ya and Elder Xuan had stayed.
.
Without the burning heat of the Zhurong Fire, after spending a certain amount of time with the skills of a few people, they successfully walked out of the caecal path and arrived at Yue Ya's former residence.
After looking at the tombstone in front of her, the hermit ran to the tombstone like crazy.
The hermit murmured to the words on the tombstone:
"The tomb of Elder Xuan of the Tong clan!"
After he finished reciting in seclusion, he hugged the tombstone and cried bitterly.
"Grandpa Xuan, I finally found you.
I didn’t expect that you’d been missing for so long and actually died under this Hell Valley. I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Grandpa Xuan.”
At this time, Tong Zhan and others had gathered around. Looking at the names on the tombstone, Doudou asked doubtfully:
"What is the relationship between Elder Xuan and the hermit cultivator?
I have never seen a hermit so sad!"
Tong Zhan opened his mouth and replied:
"This Elder Xuan should be the elder who led the great hermit cultivator since childhood.
His parents, a hermit, died for some reason when he was a child.
It was Elder Xuan who brought up the hermit who lost his parents and taught the hermit medical skills.
Later, Elder Xuan mysteriously disappeared. For this reason, the hermit cultivator searched for him for decades, but could not find him.
I didn’t expect to find Elder Xuan’s grave in this Hell Valley today. It seems that Elder Xuan has been missing in this Hell Valley all these years.”
Tong Zhan patted Yin Xiu on the shoulder and said:
"Retreat in seclusion, mourn and obey!"
Tong Xin, Tong Bo, and Doudou followed the cave behind the tombstone and walked in.
What caught the eyes of several people was a variety of tableware, tables and chairs, and Tongxin said:
"It seems that Elder Xuan has lived here for a long time.
And you see, there are women's clothes in the cabinet, which means that besides Elder Xuan, there should be a woman living there.
The inscriptions on the tombstone outside are vigorous and powerful, and you can tell at a glance that it was done by a strong man with strong martial arts skills.
This means that in addition to Elder Xuan and the woman living with Elder Xuan, there should be a young man here at that time."
Tong Xin analyzed things in an orderly manner. Tong Bo gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Childlike heart, you are so smart.
I never noticed what you said. I wish I could be as smart as you."
Tongxin replied with a look of shame:
"Brother, you were like this before, witty and thoughtful.
The wisdom I have now is all given to me by you!”
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Doudou quickly stood up and softened his words:
"Oh, don't discuss it anymore.
Since so many people have lived here, let’s quickly search to see if anyone still lives here.”
After Doudou spoke, the two brothers Tong Bo and Tong Xin stopped talking and continued to search.
When Doudou looked at the clothes in the cabinet, he felt that the scent on them was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
These are the clothes that Yue Ya wore back then, and they indeed still have the scent of Yue Ya on them.
But now Yue Ya has already experienced five years of changes in the human world, and the aura on her body has also changed a lot, leaving only a little bit of the original aura.
So Doudou only felt familiar, but did not remember the source of this breath.
After Tong Bo and Tong Xin walked into the depths of the cave, they saw the broken stone slabs that Duan Fengyun had broken in the past.
Childlike innocence looked at the stone slab and exclaimed:
"What a profound cultivation level. This person's cultivation level is comparable to that of my eldest brother in the past. He may be stronger.
I didn’t expect there to be such a strong master in this world.”
At this time, Tong Zhan, Yin Tianxue, and Yinxiu also came in.
After being comforted by Yin Tianxue, the old naughty boy Yin Xiu finally recovered his true nature.
After all, birth, old age, illness and death are natural phenomena in the human world, and even the Tong clan must follow this principle.
Seeing the slate, Yin Tianxue also expressed her guess:
"The people who have lived here are not simple.
The stone tablets outside and the stone slabs here all tell us that the people who lived here had profound skills. We don’t know whether they were enemies or friends."
Tong Zhan nodded and said:
"Whoever lives with Elder Xuan must not be a bad person, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time.
Maybe after Elder Xuan left, these two people went out through the path we just came from."
Doudou also expressed his thoughts:
"I always feel that the breath left by these two people is very familiar, and I always feel like I have seen them somewhere.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
Do you feel this way?"
Everyone shook their heads. They didn't realize that the people around them were related to this place.
Doudou thought it was because she was suspicious, so she didn't say anything more.
Tong Zhan said:
"Hermit, should you move Elder Xuan's tomb to Shuiyuedongtian?
After all, Elder Xuan is also a member of the Tong clan, so he should enter Shuiyue Cave and enter the Tong clan's ancestral hall."
Yinxiu nodded and said:
"You are the leader of the clan, so do as you wish!"
After Tong Zhan heard this, he took Tong Xin and Tong Bo to the stone tablet outside. After the three brothers looked at each other, Tong Xin took out the stone tablet directly.
Tong Bo and Tong Zhan picked up the tools on the side and started digging. Soon the ice coffin where Elder Xuan was buried appeared in front of them.
When Yinxiu saw that Elder Xuan in the ice coffin still looked the same as he remembered, his mood that had calmed down became sad again.
"Grandpa Xuan, Grandpa Xuan, I finally see you again!"
It's a pity that no matter how sadly the hermit cry, Elder Xuan in the ice coffin can't hear it.
When Tongxin saw the unchanged Elder Xuan in the ice coffin and the spell aura coming from the ice coffin, she sighed:
"Based on the degree of weathering of the stone tablets in this tomb, it was at least five years ago.
Five years have passed, but Elder Xuan's body has not changed at all.
Moreover, there are traces of spells left by the Tong clan on this ice coffin, and the caster of this spell is someone we all know!"
"Yin Zhong?"
Tong Zhan, Doudou, and Yin Tianxue said in unison.
Tongxin nodded and said:
"Yes, I feel the traces of Yin Zhong's magic on this ice coffin.
Yin Zhong must have worked on this ice coffin, and this may be the reason why Elder Xuan's body did not rot.
It’s just that I can’t figure out that Yin Zhong from five years ago should be with us in the spiritual mirror space.
Even if he goes forward, Yin Zhong personally will not come to Hell Valley.
So this ice coffin was left by Yin Zhong a long time ago, and this ice coffin has been modified by people.
As you can see, it is obvious that this piece was connected to the original ice coffin using frost energy.
Who does Elder Xuan live down here with?"
It has to be said that the child's heart, which possesses the profound wisdom of a child, is now as smart as a demon and can reason everything logically.
Tong Zhan smiled and said:
"Everything is not simple yet.
After we take Elder Xuan's body back to Shuiyue Cave for burial, we will go to Longze Villa to get the spiritual mirror, and let the spiritual mirror reveal everything to us and then we will know."
Only then did a few people realize the existence of the spiritual mirror.
So a few people took Elder Xuan's ice coffin and walked towards the Shuiyue Cave Heaven Barrier.
Hell Valley had already been torn apart because of Tong Bo's seal of Yin Zhong, so a few people found another way to Shuiyue Cave.
