Yu Hongchen

After Ji Qing left, Xie Liuchen stayed with Shang Lixing for a while.

This person doesn't know how many weird thoughts he has. After the illusion, he has been cross-legged in meditation, but he is not awake. What exactly did he see in the illusion, and what did he do? Was he really confused by the illusion, or did he use his tricks to make a fool of himself? Xie Liuchen didn't know about Fu Changning's indifference.

But if you think about it for a while, the opportunity to change your business from business to business may not have left you with a trick.

The phrase "the doorkeeper's idea" left by Bai Xuan explained that when Shang Lixing would "get rid of the illusion" and wake up, it all depends on how he manages the time.

Xie Liuchen stretched out a finger, poked him in the face and said, "Senior Brother Shang, how many times do you have to scare me?"

He leaned on his shoulder again, and begged in a low voice: "Wake up quickly, Senior Brother Shang."

The next day, Bai Xuan brought all the casual practitioners to visit Shang Lixing.

Xie Liuchen sat obediently by the side, did not disturb them, and his expression no longer showed the same panic as yesterday.

Seeing his presence, Bai Xuan chuckled and said, "Did you see it?"

Xie Liuchen said proudly: "Hmph, I figured it out a long time ago. He has a lot of bad intentions, how could he be bewitched by Fu Changning so easily." After a pause, he nodded vigorously: "Of course, I am also very smart. of."

All the casual cultivators laughed.

Bai Xuan inspected the Shangli Bank as usual, and said: "The owner of the door can hear the voices from the outside world now, so you can report the results of yesterday's investigation here."

A casual cultivator said: "After the sect master came back, several of us were sent by Daoist He to go to the ruins of Zhoujiacun last night to investigate the origin of Fu Changning."

Xie Liuchen couldn't help interjecting: "It's been 50 years since the Zhou Family Village disappeared, and all the people from back then have passed away. What can we find?"

Na Sanxiu said: "That's right, here is the problem. We visited the villagers who came out of Zhoujia Village and found their descendants. Unfortunately, the age is too long, and their descendants have little knowledge of what happened in Zhoujia Village. What is the origin of Changning, and the truth of being able to live for so many years as a mortal, no one really knows."

"However, it was such a coincidence that we stopped by the town closest to Zhoujia Village, looked through the county annals, and found some clues."

Xie Liuchen became interested: "What clues?"

Na Sanxiu reported to Shang Lixing who was meditating: "Fu Changning is a native of Zhoujia Village. He bid farewell to his hometown 64 years ago and went to Beijing to take the exam. Unexpectedly, he lost his name to Sun Shan. He stayed at a Taoist temple and disappeared after that."

Xie Liuchen said: "I heard from Fu Changning that he was obsessed with cultivating immortals while staying at the Taoist temple, and even went to Yunshan, but no one showed him the way, so he could only return in disappointment."

That Sanxiu shook his head and said, "We don't know. Where did Fu Changning go after he left the Taoist temple? We couldn't find any clues. We only know that one day three years later, Fu Changning suddenly returned home. He bought property in the town, made a living by buying and selling letters, and lived alone. After half a year, due to his weak health, he moved back to Zhoujia Village to recuperate."

Xie Liuchen listened, and suddenly asked: "Have you gone to see that one?"

Na Sanxiu said: "Yes, a few of us went there overnight, but the Taoist temple has been abandoned for many years, and the incense has been cut off long ago."

Xie Liuchen heard this, and said in his heart: "The ins and outs they traced are basically the same as what Fu Changning told me before. It seems that the most likely reason for Fu Changning's adventure was during the three years when he disappeared."

But in those three years, Fu Changning traveled all over Qianshan, looking for immortals and Taoism, and his whereabouts were not so easy to find.

There was silence in the room.Bai Xuan sat by the bed, caressing her lower abdomen all the time, without saying a word.

The casual cultivator suddenly let out another ah, and said in a waking state: "By the way, sect master, when we checked the county records, we found another strange thing."

Everyone looked at him together.

He said: "Because Fu Changning's affairs are very involved and the clues are numerous and clueless, we focused on his past experience and found that the town where he settled happened to be the place where the most people were sucked from the spirit."

Xie Liuchen was surprised: "Could it be that this is where his cultivation came from?"

At this time, Shang Lixing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, moved his fingers, and everyone's eyes turned to him.Bai Xuan turned her head and asked, "The head of the sect also heard it?"

Shang Lixing still didn't open his eyes, just shook his slightly bent fingers a few times, and then returned to his original state.

Xie Liuchen watched from the side until he stopped breathing.

All the casual cultivators scratched their heads, completely unable to understand the meaning of Shang Lixing's gesture, and asked, "Miss Baixuan, what does the sect master mean?"

Bai Xuan shook her head: "I'm not very clear, but I guess he meant to let us stay calm." Fu sighed deeply again: "The more involved this matter is, it seems that the sect master still needs to decide it himself. .”

After the scattered cultivators reported about Fu Changning's past, they left immediately. Three days later, Shang Lixing still didn't wake up.

Xie Liuchen stayed by his side the whole time, never leaving the room.However, after discovering Shang Lixing's strong heart, not only was he not worried, but he was completely relieved, waiting for the other party to wake up.

In the afternoon, Xie Liuchen saw that Shang Lixing was in good condition, so he took advantage of the spring to slip out of the yard and squat lazily by the river to bask in the sun.

Lying with eyes closed for a while, footsteps sounded behind him, and a voice with a smile sounded from the grass: "Which young master is playing around here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xie Liuchen raised the corners of his mouth, grabbed the grass roots under his body, and said without turning his head, "Aren't you pretending?"

Shang Li walked to the river, said with a low smile, "Stop pretending, just lie in bed all day, bored to death."

Seeing that he was awake, Xie Liuchen was almost overjoyed. He still put on a cold face on the surface: "I've been guarding you for so many days without waking up. Whenever I get lazy, you wake up." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "" You clearly did it on purpose, to make me worry, didn't you?"

"How dare you?" Shang Lixing said, "Didn't you find out that I was pretending? What made you afraid?"

Xie Liuchen said: "I was really scared at first, you looked at me like that in the illusion, I really thought you would kill me."

Shang Lixing apologized: "I didn't tell you in advance, it's my fault. I was also deceived for a while that day, so I played tricks and pretended that I couldn't get rid of it. After the illusion came out, although he didn't follow, he kept following me Monitor my Sea of ​​Consciousness, I am worried that all previous efforts will be wasted, so I simply pretend to go all the way to the end."

Xie Liuchen snorted, and said, "This Fu Changning is really annoying. Brother Fu I know is completely two people. I didn't expect it to be him."

He frowned, "What are we going to do with him?"

Shang Lixing also squatted down: "The most troublesome problem now is that he doesn't know where his teacher came from, and he doesn't know what other abilities he has besides psychedelic circles and manipulating knowledge."

Xie Liuchen said firmly: "Fu Changning must have had some chance during those three years of disappearance to get rid of his mortal body."

Shang Lixing firmly shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

Xie Liuchen asked in surprise, "Why?"

Shang Lihang shook his head and said: "After learning such skills abroad, there is really no need to go back to my hometown to buy a house, a book, and a family business. Where this person got the opportunity and cultivation level is unknown. What exactly does he want to do? I'm not very clear now."

Xie Liuchen thought for a while, and said: "If he can't win you over, he may not go to other people. They are weak alone, and no matter how powerful they are, they can't do anything big. Will they—" He looked at Shang Lixing in amazement, "Could he have found other partners?"

Shang Lixing sighed and said: "Yes, so—" Seeing him take out a piece of paper that looked like letterhead from his pocket, Xie Liuchen's expression turned serious: "What is it?"

Shang Lixing said helplessly: "A letter from the Demon Race, inviting me to go to the border."

Xie Liuchen stood up in a panic: "What are they looking for from you? Are you going to fight again?"

Shang Lixing shook his head and said: "I don't know, Fu Changning is in Nanling, but he can kill many mortals at the same time and absorb their souls. It may not be that there are no demons to help in secret."

Xie Liuchen thought for a while, and said: "It makes sense. Fu Changning has been recuperating for 50 years, and the demons will have a 50-year truce. Once Fu Changning recovers, the demons will immediately send troops. If they say that they have no collusion, ghosts will believe it."

Shang Lixing said with a smile: "I just escaped from the phantom, and then I was envoyed by the demons. A leisurely life is always a luxury."

Xie Liuchen took the letter, read it over and over several times, and carefully looked at the correct human characters on it. The handwriting was upright and smooth, just like everyone's style, and the word "Zhong Lian" was written on the signature.

Xie Liuchen recalled that little Zhonglian hid in a rockery to avoid learning human characters.With a thought in his heart, he stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body: "I'll go with you!"
