Su Xin and others led the disciples to the land of the Southern Demon this time. On the surface, they were looking for the remnants of the Demon Sect, but in fact, they were secretly investigating the cause of death of the two uncles.
The news that Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan were dead must not be known to outsiders.
Especially for people like Su Hongling who have a very high status in Lei Jian Sect, if she knew that Zhenyang Sect was now greatly weakened, Su Longxiang would be ready to take action immediately.
In addition, the Feiyun Sect, which has always been eyeing the position of the leader of the righteous path, if there is civil strife among the three major sects, the stability of the world will be broken again.
Due to all the above, Su Xin did not want Su Hongling to continue to follow them.
The little hammer carried the big hammer and looked sideways at Su Xin: "You go your way, I'll go mine, you control me!"
Xia Qinglian promised to go to the mountain to have a fight with her, how could she leave?
Su Xin didn't know what Xiao Chui was thinking, and thought she wanted to continue to pester Junior Brother He, so she had no choice but to say to Qin Gengyun:
"Junior Brother He, please talk to Fairy Su."
Everyone else also looked at Qin Gengyun with dissatisfied expressions on their faces, almost saying "scumbag".
Qin Gengyun was a little confused and could only say to Xiao Zhui: "Xiao Zhui, will you agree if I let you go?"
Xiaochui bared his teeth at him: "Why? I won't leave!"
This situation was a bit like a young couple having an argument. The disciples didn't want to be irritated anymore and walked up the mountain one after another.
Su Xin shook her head and exchanged glances with Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng and others. Su Hongling had always had her own way, and now there was no way to force her to leave. She could only take one step at a time.
Everyone hiked up the mountain, and not long after walking, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded in front of them.
"It's Junior Sister Xu!"
"Could it be the thief who killed Zheng Wei last night?!"
"quick!"
The Zhenyang Sect disciples' expressions changed and they quickly rushed towards the place where Xu Caihe's exclamation sounded.
What came into view was a row of wooden houses built on the mountainside, but these houses were burnt and most of them had collapsed.
Obviously this is a gathering place for the disciples of the Qinglian Sect.
At this time, Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling'er were standing in front of a charred house. They looked horrified, with their mouths wide open, looking at something hanging from the charred door beam.
Everyone took a closer look and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
What is hung on the door beam is a skeleton.
Moreover, the frame was very small, and it looked like a child of five or six years old.
It's just that the child has been dead for a long time, and his body has rotted away. Only a pair of bones and tattered clothes are left. His neck is tied with a rope and hung on the door beam.
It looked like he was hanged alive.
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling'er stood in front of this small skeleton. Xu Caihe covered her mouth, her eyes were red, and Zhou Ling'er clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Everyone else was also stunned.
"How could such a young child do this?"
"Too cruel!"
"Who is so cruel?"
Some people were filled with righteous indignation, suddenly remembered something, and immediately closed their mouths.
The disciples next to him also looked strange, showing anger and embarrassment.
Obviously, the one who killed this child was the Zhengdao Sect.
Back then, the three major sects raided Qinglian Mountain, crushing them all the way and defeating those who stood in their way, leaving no one alive.
This child was naturally killed by people from the three major sects.
Zhou Ling'er suddenly turned around and asked Su Xin, who was standing silently behind:
"Senior Sister Su Xin, was this child really killed by one of ours?"
Su Xin was silent for a moment and shook her head: "I was not in Qinglian Mountain that day."
At the beginning, the three major sects' troops were divided into two groups, with several elders leading ordinary disciples to fight up to Qinglian Mountain.
On the other side, the three sect leaders, elders and all the commanding disciples went to Tianlu Mountain to besiege the master of the Qinglian Sect and the Saint.
At that time, Su Xin went to Tianlu Mountain with Master Tantai Mingyue, so she was not present.
Regarding what happened on Qinglian Mountain, she only knew that the three major sects had killed countless demons and that the Righteous Sect had made outstanding achievements, but she did not know the details.
Seeing the small skeleton now, she felt for the first time how bloody and cruel the scene was.
Su Xin couldn't help but lower her head. For some reason, she felt guilty and didn't dare to look at the little corpse anymore.
Qin Gengyun and others stood at the end, but they could clearly see the situation ahead. Qiu Zhihe's face suddenly turned pale, his fringed eyes widened, and his expression was a little dull.
"Little Ape?"
She recognized the jade pendant this child was wearing.
Because it was given by her.
This is a disciple of the Qinglian Sect named Li Jin. He is married to a village girl at the foot of the mountain. The two are very affectionate. The village girl gave birth to a child named Yuan Yuan.
This child is very naughty and likes to follow Tassel all over the mountain.
Later, on the little Yuanyuan's sixth birthday, Liusu gave him a jade pendant.
The little Yuanyuan liked it very much and hung it on his body every day. The boy also said to Liusu: "Sister Susu, please give me a token of love. I will marry you when I grow up!"
Liusu explained to him that this is called a birthday gift, not a token of love. You are thinking of marrying a wife even before your hair is fully grown. You are so shameless!
But the little Yuanyuan is very stubborn. Every time she sees Liusu, she calls her sister and daughter-in-law.
After the Qinglian Sect was destroyed, Liusu rushed to Yunling Town to find Xia Qinglian. This was her first time back to Qinglian Mountain.
Unexpectedly, the first thing I saw was the skeleton of a young ape.
Liusu's vision was blurred, and her body suddenly swayed. Qiu Zhihe next to her raised her hand slightly, and a spiritual force held her up.
Liusu's eyes were red, and he turned to look at Qiu Zhihe, only to see that her face was expressionless, but there was a cold murderous intent in her eyes.
Liusu also clenched his fists and stared at the small skeleton hanging on the door beam.
"Okay, let's go."
Zhang Zheng spoke, and several commanding disciples continued to walk up.
"Wait a moment."
Xu Caihe removed the skeleton of the little ape, walked to an open space nearby, made a small pit in the ground with one palm, and put the remains into the pit.
Then he pointed with one hand, and the surrounding soil flew over to cover the small pit.
Zhou Ling'er found a piece of wood, and with flying fingers, she quickly carved it into a wooden sign and inserted it on the mound of soil to bury the child in peace.
However, they did not know the child's name and could not erect a monument for him. They could only replace it with a wooden sign without words.
Everyone watched the two men's actions without saying a word.
Suddenly, a sneer sounded: "There are too many children who died in front of us. Do you two plan to build a grave for each of them?"
"What?!"
Everyone looked around and saw Cheng Qingyu looking at Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling'er coldly with disdain.
Xu Caihe was startled and immediately asked: "Senior Sister Cheng, were you present when Qinglian Mountain was massacred?"
Cheng Qingyu sneered: "Massacre? This is what we call fighting for the righteousness of the world!"
She suddenly noticed that the fellow disciples around her were looking at her a little strangely, and said coldly:
"What expressions are you looking at? These are all members of the Demon Sect, and if you kill them, you will be killing them for the sake of the people!"
Xu Caihe said angrily: "But such a young child, what evil can he do?"
Zhou Ling'er muttered: "I'm afraid you were all trying to grab credit at that time, so you just killed people on sight, right?"
Cheng Qingyu was furious: "Zhou Ling'er! Do you know what you are talking about?! Your father is the head of a noble family in Zhenlian City, and you actually speak for the demon sect today? I can take you down with just these words." !”
Zhou Ling'er's face turned slightly pale, and Xu Caihe stood in front of her:
"Senior Sister Cheng, we righteous disciples are guarding the common people and justice in the world. If Ling'er sees injustice on the road, what's wrong?"
Cheng Qingyu sneered and was about to speak when her eyes blurred and a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. His eyes were red and he looked at her coldly:
"Did you kill this child?"
