Ever since Wen Ruan didn't testify against Deng Xiao in the main hall that day, Wen Xun vaguely felt that something was wrong.Listening to what Wen Ruan said last time when he returned to Wen's house, it can be seen that he has always been deeply concerned about the death of his senior sister Yao Tan.
Wen Xun knew this hero in the original text very well, he was not someone who gave up so easily.
Since he wore the book, some plots have changed unconsciously.If this is the case, will something unexpected happen to Wen Ruan?
Taking advantage of the gradually chaotic scene, Wen Xun left his seat silently and walked towards the nearest seat of Liu Lanfeng's disciples.
Seeing this, Zhai Jinshu kindly asked, "Where are you going, Senior Brother Wen Xun? Do you need my help?"
He is underage, so he does not have the qualifications to participate in Xuandu to win the championship.This time I came here purely to join in the fun, and it can be regarded as preparation for Xuandu to win the championship three years later.
Wen Xun found a simple excuse, "No, I'm just going there for convenience."
He randomly found an unremarkable disciple of Liu Lanfeng, and took him out of the martial field where he won the championship.
I thought that the matter of him and Shi Xianyou hadn't been widely spread in Xuanji Sect, but unexpectedly, even an ordinary low-level disciple knew about it.
The disciple looked at him and said flatteringly, "Senior Brother Wen Xun, do you need help with anything?"
Wen Xun nodded, paying attention to the situation inside, and asked him, "Why didn't Wen Ruan come?"
The disciple replied: "It's not that he didn't come, it's that Senior Brother Wen Ruan hasn't returned to Lanfeng for several days."
Wen Xun continued to ask: "When did it start?"
The disciple replied: "Just a few days ago, senior brother Wen Ruan went down the mountain to watch the night, and I didn't see him after that. Everyone thought that senior brother Wen Ruan was practicing his sword hard to prepare for the championship in Xuandu, so no one cared."
Wen Xun said: "Where was the last time you saw him?"
The disciple thought about it for a while, and replied in a low voice: "The senior brothers who were watching the night that night were expelled from the mountain gate by the head. I heard from them that Senior Brother Wen Ruan left the restaurant halfway, so they didn't go back to the mountain together. Senior Brother Wen Xun, Wen Ruan Brother, is he alright?"
"You go back first, help me to convey to my master that I will go back as soon as I go."
Wen Xun didn't answer the disciple's question directly, because he didn't even know it himself.However, he has seen two sides of the people that this disciple said, and the facts are indeed as he said.
Wen Xun first went to the bookstore to find an artist to draw a portrait of Wen Ruan, and then took the portrait to the restaurant that night.
Recently, Xuandu won the championship, and the business of the restaurant is better than usual.He ordered a table of meals, and then asked the shop assistant to call the restaurant manager over.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Is this young master dissatisfied with the food?"
Wen Xun unfolded the portrait and asked, "Has the shopkeeper seen this person? He came here a few days ago. He is a disciple of Liulan Peak who is in charge of patrolling the night on West Street."
"It turns out that the young master is from the Xuanji Sect. The person in this painting is indeed somewhat familiar." The shopkeeper took the portrait and looked at it carefully. "It seems that there is such a person. Could it be that his surname is Wen?"
"That's right." Wen Xun said: "He left this restaurant halfway that night, does the shopkeeper know which direction he went?"
The shopkeeper probably also heard about the death of the disciple of Yinlu Peak in Hualiu Lane, and he was very cooperative with Wen Xun's question, "The young master in this painting did come to our restaurant. He was with a few other people at the time, and There was almost a dispute. It seems that he left halfway because he saw someone. As for the direction to go..."
The shopkeeper opened the window and pointed to him, "Well, it's over there. I didn't pay attention to who I saw."
Wen Xun followed his gaze, and that direction was Xuanji Bieyuan.
After all, who did Wen Ruan see?He suddenly changed his caliber, could it be related to that person?
Wen Xun paid the money and left the restaurant, put away the portrait and went to Xuanji Bieyuan.The shortest route from the restaurant was the street he passed that day, and it was there that he met the real Tianyin Pavilion Master.
But now that Xuandu's championship has just begun, it can be said that there is not even a gatekeeper disciple at the gate of Bieyuan.
Wen Xun walked around the Bieyuan, but found nothing suspicious, but he always felt that someone was following him from behind.
This feeling is different from the man in black before. There are more than one opponent, and his cultivation level is not too high.
He brought a saber when he came out, so he deliberately led people to the nearby remote streets and alleys, and then took the opportunity to find a corner to hide his figure.
The few people lost their way and began to search around carefully, talking in low voices.
"Won't he find out?"
"So what if he finds out, is it possible that he can deal with the three of us by himself? Don't forget, he is pregnant now, no different from a weak woman."
"But... if the head finds out about this, the head will definitely not let us go easily."
"We are no longer disciples of the Xuanji Sect, so we are afraid of the head of the sect. If it weren't for Wen Xun, how could we have fallen to such a point. If you are worried that he will sue the head of the sect, then don't leave him alive."
It turned out to be those disciples of Liulan Peak who were expelled from Xuanji Gate by Shi Xianyou...
Wen Xun removed his hand from the hilt of his sword, hesitating whether to go out.These people patrolled the night with Wen Ruan that night, so they must know what happened that night, and they would probably know where Wen Ruan was going.
He heard footsteps approaching, and was about to show up, when those people suddenly screamed at the same time.
After the scream, there was no more sound.
Someone shot them first and killed them?Wen Xun, holding such a guess, poked his head slightly to look, only to see a man in purple standing among the bodies of the three.
The murderer was none other than Wu Xin Palace Master Shuo Xuan.
Wait, you said Xuan came to Xuandu?
Shuo Xuan stood for a while, then turned to face him, and said slowly, "Come out, it's okay."
Having said that, it was obvious that this side must be seen, so Wen Xun had no choice but to walk out from the corner.
He glanced at the corpse on the ground and sighed silently in his heart.Helplessly, Xuan acted too fast, and he didn't have a chance to ask these people about Wen Ruan's whereabouts.
Said that Xuanxiang came alone, and did not see his loyal attendant.He changed into a purple robe, and his temperament was still outstanding among the crowd.It's just that it's different from Shi Xianyou, Shuo Xuan is full of evil spirits, and maybe even Moxiu will give people this feeling.
Seeing him sizing him up, Shuo Xuan said, "Luo Huang went to work."
Wen Xun then asked, "Why did you come to Xuandu? Didn't you agree to let me know in advance?"
Shuo Xuan's answer was very sincere and straightforward, "I couldn't help but want to see you, so I came here. The deity asked Shuo Meng to write you a letter, didn't you receive it?"
Wen Xun looked blank, "I didn't receive it, did you say Meng wrote me a letter?"
Said Xuandao: "Well, maybe he wants to surprise you."
Regarding this, Wen Xun said that there was no surprise, only shock!
Now it's all right, everyone is gathered in Xuandu, if we let them meet together... just thinking about this situation is scary.
No, this situation cannot be allowed to happen!
Said Xuan didn't know what he was thinking, and asked, "These are also disciples of Xuanji Sect, why would they attack you?"
Wen Xun couldn't bring up Shi Xianyou's name in front of him, and replied hesitantly, "Maybe it's because I'm jealous that I look better than them?"
Shuo Xuan approached him slowly, and unconsciously curled his lips, "Well, you are the prettiest."
Wen Xun: So disgusting...
Few people pass by this alley, so no one knows that there are three dead bodies here.It's a pity that, when he was about to get news about Wen Ruan, it was said that the clue of Xuan's move was cut off again.
Wen Xun was not angry about this, he clearly said that Xuanhui did this for him.But it was the first time for him to see three living beings die in front of him.
It can be seen from this that the rumors about Shuo Xuan's vicious methods are not false at all.
Shuoxuan saw what he was thinking, and said, "Laohuang will deal with it later, are you planning to go back now?"
Everyone is here, of course Wen Xun wants to find out Wen Ruan's whereabouts.Because he always had a premonition that this murderer had something to do with him.Rather than saying it was intuition, it was better to say that he heard Leng Xibie's words.
Wen Ruan is the hero of the original text, if he dies, what will the world be like?
"Don't go back yet." Wen Xun asked him as he walked out of this alley, "What about you? What are you going to do when you see me? Let me explain in advance that I can't go back to Wuxin Temple with you. It was agreed before that it is for You come to me after winning the championship in Xuandu, today is the first day of winning the championship in Xuandu."
Counting so carefully, Wen Xun couldn't help but lament how time flies.From the beginning to the present, not only did he fail to find out the biological father of the child, he even fell into even more chaotic thoughts.
"The deity knows." Said Xuan is indeed a man of his word, of course, except for the matter of feelings. "I just want to see you, and I won't let the people of Xuanjimen find out that you have contacts with Wuxin Palace."
Hearing him say these words seriously, Wen Xun felt an inexplicable sense of guilt towards Sai Xuan.He tried his best to hide this emotion until he walked out of the alley.
Wen Xun thought for a while, and gave a simple explanation, "Recently, several disciples died, and even my cousin was missing. I suspected that the murderer was related to me, so I came out to investigate."
Shuo Xuanwen said in a low voice: "Do you need my deity to help you? You are pregnant and a disciple of Xuanji, so it is not appropriate to get blood on your hands."
"No need." Wen Xun said while looking at the nearby shops, afraid that he would think too much, lowered his voice and said: "This is the boundary of Xuanji Gate, you are a demon cultivator, and your gestures will definitely attract their attention. Except Xuanji Outside the Ji Gate, there is Mount Pengying, and most people dislike Moxiu."
"What about you?" Shuo Xuan asked back off guard.
"Me?" To be honest, Wen Xun is not disgusted with Moxiu, "I think it's cute to talk about dreams."
He knew that Shuo Xuan would continue to ask him, so he quickly changed the subject, "Let's go to that teahouse to have a look. Also, remember not to take one deity later."
Said Xuan readily agreed, "Okay."
That teahouse opened at the place where Xuanji Bieyuan must pass, as long as Wen Ruan came here, he would definitely be seen by the people in the teahouse.
The proprietress of the teahouse has a very lively personality. Seeing them greet them warmly, "Please hurry up, two gentlemen."
Because Wen Xun often went in and out of the other gardens, the proprietress saw that he was familiar, and secretly looked at him several times.
Wen Xun took out the portrait and asked straight to the point: "Has the proprietress seen this person? It was probably a few nights ago."
The proprietress recognized the person in the painting at a glance, she nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, if I remember correctly, he is a disciple of Xuanji Sect. I have visited here a few nights before, and I am very handsome."
Wen Xun said: "That night, was he alone?"
"It's a person." The proprietress recalled carefully, "I remembered that he stood in that alley for a long time. I wanted to invite him in for tea, but he left with another person."
Both the proprietress of the restaurant and the manager of the restaurant said that Wen Ruan saw someone, but who was the 'other person' they were talking about?From the current point of view, Wen Ruan's disappearance without any reason has a great relationship with this person.
Naturally, Wen Xun would not give up on this clue, and asked: "Then have you seen who it is?"
The proprietress said: "It's too far away, I just looked at the profile. The man seems to be young and not tall."
A person's name flashed through Wen Xun's mind, a little unbelievable.But thinking of Wen Ruan's change of words, he felt it was possible.
He asked again: "Does the proprietress still remember the color of that man's clothes?"
"It was too dark at the time, so I couldn't see clearly." The proprietress suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "But I do know the direction they left, which is to the side of the foggy forest."
"Are you sure they went to the Misty Forest instead of Xuanji Bieyuan?"
"I'm sure they did go in that direction. Not to mention the night, no one would dare to go to that kind of place in broad daylight, so I remember so clearly."
The foggy forest mentioned by the proprietress is on the shadowy side of Midnight Mountain, a land that no one has set foot in.Even in the daytime, there is still dense fog and darkness, hence the name Misty Forest.
As for the origin, the original author did not write in detail.
Why did Wen Ruan go there with others?Wen Xun didn't know.But no matter what, he planned to go and have a look.
The two left the teahouse and headed straight to the direction of the foggy forest.
Although Shuo Xuan had never heard of this place, from the proprietress's description just now, he roughly guessed the danger.
"You wait for me here." Shuo Xuan said, "This deity will go and check for you."
"Let's go together." Wen Xun didn't want Shuo Xuan to take risks for him, let alone drag Shuo Xuan into this vortex.
There is only one road leading to the foggy forest, and the whole path is overgrown with weeds.The cold wind rushed past by itself, and the chill was piercing.
Walking to the entrance of the foggy forest, the sky has already dimmed a lot.The sound of the wind was too loud, as if there were countless vengeful spirits clamoring around.
It is hard to imagine that such a place exists at the foot of Ziye Mountain.
Wen Xun was concentrating on walking when he suddenly stepped on something and looked down to see it was a waist card.
Wufeng disciples all have a waist badge engraved with their name, which is convenient for entering and exiting and at the same time can prove their identity.
Wen Xun turned over the back and looked at it, and the word Wen Ruan was engraved on it.In other words, Wen Ruan has indeed been to the foggy forest.
Said Xuandao: "Is it that person's thing?"
"Ah."
A huge shadow hung over Wen Xun's heart, he put away his badge and decided to move on.At this moment, a cold arrow struck from the dark, and the target was Wen Xun who was wearing a waist card.
Said Xuan guarded the man behind him, and raised his hand to break the flying cold arrow.The surrounding area was terribly silent, and no one could see the direction of the arrow.
Obviously, someone wanted to prevent them from entering the Misty Forest.But the more this is the case, the more it shows that there are ghosts in it.
Wen Xun poked his head out from behind Shuoxuan, took a step or two boldly forward, and then shot out several cold arrows.
Taking advantage of this moment, Shuo Xuan slashed with his palm in the direction of the arrow.There was a clicking sound, and the forest fell silent again.
"It's a mechanism." Said Xuan came to this conclusion, "There are formations."
As soon as the words fell, the thick fog suddenly gathered and wrapped around them.
In order to prevent Wen Xun from walking away, Shuo Xuan held him tightly, "It's very strange here, I don't know much about the formation, and I still need Luo Huang to come and clear the formation."
Wen Xun didn't want Shuo Xuan to be imprisoned with him. This trial has confirmed his guess, and he should not hesitate again when it's time to leave.
He said decisively, "Let's go."
When they left the foggy forest, they realized that the sky outside had already darkened.
Wen Xun wondered whether he should go back to the mountain directly, in order to avoid being bumped by the people from Xuanji Gate, so he chose to avoid Bieyuan and take a detour.
He had already thought of an excuse in his mind, and if someone asked him where he had been, he would say that he was not feeling well and went to rest.
"I'll go back first, thank you for accompanying me today." Wen Xun said to Xuandao: "It's not safe to stay in Xuandu, you'd better go back to Wuxin Hall."
"Are you worried about the deity?" Said Xuan fixedly looked at the person in front of him, and was about to reach out to touch him, but Wen Xun rushed towards him and buried himself in his arms.
Shuo Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly put his hands on Wen Xun's back.
On the other side, two figures stopped not far away, they were Shi Xianyou and his swordsman Han Shi.
Wen Xun knew this hero in the original text very well, he was not someone who gave up so easily.
Since he wore the book, some plots have changed unconsciously.If this is the case, will something unexpected happen to Wen Ruan?
Taking advantage of the gradually chaotic scene, Wen Xun left his seat silently and walked towards the nearest seat of Liu Lanfeng's disciples.
Seeing this, Zhai Jinshu kindly asked, "Where are you going, Senior Brother Wen Xun? Do you need my help?"
He is underage, so he does not have the qualifications to participate in Xuandu to win the championship.This time I came here purely to join in the fun, and it can be regarded as preparation for Xuandu to win the championship three years later.
Wen Xun found a simple excuse, "No, I'm just going there for convenience."
He randomly found an unremarkable disciple of Liu Lanfeng, and took him out of the martial field where he won the championship.
I thought that the matter of him and Shi Xianyou hadn't been widely spread in Xuanji Sect, but unexpectedly, even an ordinary low-level disciple knew about it.
The disciple looked at him and said flatteringly, "Senior Brother Wen Xun, do you need help with anything?"
Wen Xun nodded, paying attention to the situation inside, and asked him, "Why didn't Wen Ruan come?"
The disciple replied: "It's not that he didn't come, it's that Senior Brother Wen Ruan hasn't returned to Lanfeng for several days."

"It's a mechanism." Said Xuan came to this conclusion, "There are formations."
As soon as the words fell, the thick fog suddenly gathered and wrapped around them.
In order to prevent Wen Xun from walking away, Shuo Xuan held him tightly, "It's very strange here, I don't know much about the formation, and I still need Luo Huang to come and clear the formation."
Wen Xun didn't want Shuo Xuan to be imprisoned with him. This trial has confirmed his guess, and he should not hesitate again when it's time to leave.
He said decisively, "Let's go."
When they left the foggy forest, they realized that the sky outside had already darkened.
Wen Xun wondered whether he should go back to the mountain directly, in order to avoid being bumped by the people from Xuanji Gate, so he chose to avoid Bieyuan and take a detour.
He had already thought of an excuse in his mind, and if someone asked him where he had been, he would say that he was not feeling well and went to rest.
"I'll go back first, thank you for accompanying me today." Wen Xun said to Xuandao: "It's not safe to stay in Xuandu, you'd better go back to Wuxin Hall."
"Are you worried about the deity?" Said Xuan fixedly looked at the person in front of him, and was about to reach out to touch him, but Wen Xun rushed towards him and buried himself in his arms.
Shuo Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly put his hands on Wen Xun's back.
On the other side, two figures stopped not far away, they were Shi Xianyou and his swordsman Han Shi.
