The second day of February. On the bank of the Moon Pool, groups of Immortal Sect disciples gathered. The three elders, Pingyangzi, E'an, and Yingling, will lead people to Anping County in Shuofang, Hongnong County in Kunfang, and Rinan County in Lifang.
The only important task of this trip is to find the whereabouts of the artifact. This is the covenant that the six immortal sects have gathered in Tianwu Mountain and reached again.
Beginning this year, the nineteen and eighteen counties in Yanzhou will stop fighting and work together to find the artifact, striving to get what they want within ten years.
More than two hundred years ago, the road to the underworld was once unobstructed, but was forcibly closed by the Seven Kills Sect's magical machine, thus cutting off Yanzhou's only way to the outside world.
No matter what was true or false in the past, the six immortal sects vowed to open the Netherworld again, open the door to the fairyland, and open the road to the sky.
As for such a large immortal sect, there must always be someone to look after the house, so the three elders Lang Wei, Qi Shang, and Fang Yuan stayed at Tianzhu Mountain, while Pingyangzi, E'an, and Ying Ling took their disciples on a long journey.
How will we find the artifact? It is reported that when the Seven Kills Sect was destroyed, countless treasures were abandoned, and it was inevitable that someone would take advantage of the wealth.
A group of disciples from the Tianji Sect stole the artifact, and its whereabouts have remained unknown for more than a hundred years. Now is the time to go to the hiding place of the disciples of Tianji Sect. Once you find any clues, you will continue to pursue them until you finally find the artifact.
But the time has not come yet, and the three elders have not appeared. Yu Ye and everyone were waiting by the lake. The disciples of Tiansha Hall who are traveling this time are twelve golden elixir masters. Of course, Wen Gui, Zhan Kun and Cheng Shi are indispensable. The other eight people are meeting each other for the first time and are quite strangers to each other.
Tianqi Hall and Tianji Hall each also sent out twelve disciples. But you haven’t seen Gui Yuanzi? I wanted to find someone to ask, but an old man walked along the lake.
It was Gui Yuanzi. Yu Ye couldn't help feeling relieved, and walked through the crowd to greet him. Gui Yuanzi was only busy chatting with the disciples of Tianji Hall and ignored him.
Instead, he became bored and could only hide aside silently. After a while, I suddenly heard a message——
"Don't get close to my old man in public!"
"Hey, I thought you gave up on this trip, but why are you so cautious?" Yu Ye walked to the lake and stood by the water, with a smile on his lips.
In Yanzhou, Gui Yuanzi had known him the longest, and was the only old friend who knew his origins and witnessed his step-by-step journey to where he is today.
Especially with his help, dangers were saved time and time again. With his company, this trip would undoubtedly be a little more courageous.
"Hmph, do you think you escaped a disaster last month and everything will be fine from now on?"
"The three elders promised not to cause trouble to me again..."
"Promises are nothing, but you actually take them seriously. Don't you hear that what a charming person says is what a wise person thinks?"
"Well, thanks for the advice!"
"And what I'm talking about is Hongyi. You tricked her into looking for Lai Mian. If she realizes that she was deceived, she will definitely look back for you. How can I be lucky enough to return to Yuan? Now the only way is to go out and hide. You're doing a lot of harm to people." !" Yu Ye was embarrassed and silent.
At that time, I had no time to deal with Lai Mian. But in hindsight, there was something wrong. Once Hongyi finds Tianjimen, Gui Yuanzi will have nowhere to hide.
"You don't have to be grateful or feel guilty. If you count ten jars of wine, the friendship and friendship will be clear!" Gui Yuanzi did not suffer at all. Whether he was teaching the skills or secretly giving guidance, he never forgot to ask for reward.
"Well, I'll give you another jar of fifty-year-old wine!"
"Oh, fifty years of aging wine, I'm already salivating, haha!" Yu Ye couldn't help but look back.
Gui Yuanzi was chatting and joking with several of his classmates. It was impossible to tell that he was transmitting a message, but he blinked through the crowd, his joy and expectation unspoken.
He also heard: "My old man is not coveting a few jars of wine, but there are rules in the world."
"What rules?"
"The law is not taught lightly, the Tao is not sold cheaply, the teacher does not follow the path, and the doctor does not knock on the door. The world of mortals comes and goes, and the ordinary mind is not attached to worldly thoughts."
"Teachable!"
"Hmph, you are good at hiding wine. But I think you are better at hiding people, right?" Yu Ye turned around and pretended not to hear.
And the sound of Gui Yuanzi’s words continued to come——
"If no one helps you, you can't get rid of the suspicion, but it has nothing to do with Zhan Kun, then who is helping you secretly?" The old cunning man finally found out the clue.
"If you want to know the truth, you might as well tell the origin of the grudge between you and the senior in red."
"Humph, not interested!"
"Junior Brother Yu——" Zhan Kun walked closer. Yu Ye nodded in greeting. He had truthfully informed Zhan Kun about Tian Juezi's suspicion and the calculations of the three elders, but he lied that he had hidden the spirit ring and the gift ring beforehand.
As for Qingluo's existence, it is his personal secret. Even if it was Gui Yuanzi, he didn't dare to reveal even half of the truth.
Since it is secret, it is not known to others.
"This trip is of great importance."
"Um!"
"Fortunately, Birch is dead, otherwise Qizhou would be in disaster!"
"Oh, I'm just afraid that people will die but the disaster will not be over!" Yu Ye sighed. He didn't understand Zhan Kun's thoughts, but he didn't dare to take any chances.
Back then, Qiu Bo and several disciples of the Tianji Sect fled to Qizhou and Daze with the artifacts. Although he and his companions had died, and Bo Qi was buried on an overseas island, as long as the six immortal sects work together, there will be no It is difficult to find the whereabouts of the artifact.
Once E'an, Ying Ling and others get to the bottom of it, Qizhou and Daze will once again be shrouded in blood and blood.
What if I hand over my three artifacts? But I am afraid that it will be difficult to face the doubts from all parties, and I may be self-defeating and regret it later!
"Meet the elders——" At this moment, three figures came across the lake. They are Pingyangzi, E'an and Yingling.
The three elders fell down and said one after another——
"From now on, the disciples of Tianji Hall will follow me to Luo Lei Valley in Hongnong County."
"Tiansha Hall heads to Sifang City in Anping County..."
"Tian Qitang heads to Shenglong Ridge in Nichinan County..."
"Then we will meet in Fufeng City. We will decide whether to go overseas or return to Lingling County..."
"Let's set off -" Following the order, everyone stepped on their swords and rushed towards the front mountain. But Yu Ye took the opportunity to get close to Gui Yuanzi and said hurriedly: "Old Taoist, aren't you and I?
"How about you and I go traveling together and enjoy the mountains and scenery?"
"If senior in red comes looking for her, how should I explain to her?"
"I don't care what you say, if you dare to betray me, I will definitely make you look good, huh!"
"..." Gui Yuanzi felt relaxed all over. Not only did Yu Ye lose a strong supporter, he was also afraid that Hong Yi would cause trouble for him.
However, the three elders had decided to act separately, so he could only adapt to the situation. Arriving at the teleportation array on the front mountain, Pingyangzi took Gui Yuanzi and other disciples to teleport away first, followed by Tiansha Hall and Tianqitang... Two hours later, Yu Ye followed everyone out of the formation again.
Ping Wang City. It is a small town located at the junction of Yunxia County and Anping County. The Sifang City we were going to was still 50,000 miles away, and there was no direct access to the teleportation array, so we had to fly over with our swords.
It was not easy to travel a long distance, so E'an ordered everyone to rest in the city and buy relevant items before continuing on their way after two days.
Pingyu Inn. After checking into the inn, seeing that it was still early, Yu Ye, Zhan Kun and Cheng Shi went for a stroll on the street.
The small town where it is located is very ordinary, but it has gathered hundreds of monks. It is said that they are immortal disciples and casual cultivators from Lintun, Yunxia, Xuantu, Anping, Shanggu, Jiangxia and other counties, and they also come here to find the artifact.
The so-called watch the wind and move with the wind; the advantage lies in everything. It's human nature. The three of them found several wine shops one after another, but they were all full, so they had to buy wine and meat and sit in a stone pavilion on the corner of the street, eating and drinking while talking about what they saw and heard.
"Senior Brother Zhan, you are highly skilled and well-informed. Do you know about Sifang City?"
"Haha, I know very little."
"It was an ancient city, and a group of Tianqitang disciples once hid in it..." The four-corner stone pavilion is very dilapidated, but there are stone benches and stone tables for resting, and it is close to the street, and all the pedestrians coming and going can be seen.
Yu Ye drank wine, ate meat, looked at the street scene, and took out a picture slip. He wanted to find Sifang City.
However, there is no such city in the map of Anping County. Instead, there is a valley called Sifang Valley. I wonder if there is any relationship between the two.
"Aren't the disciples of Tianqi Hall the disciples of Elder Ying Ling? Why are they hiding in Sifang City? Could it be related to the artifact?" While eating and drinking, Zhan Kun and Cheng Shi chatted.
"Senior Brother Zhan actually knows nothing?"
"Haha, forgive me for being ignorant."
"My little brother, I just heard it from hearsay. It is reported that there was another elder of Tianqitang back then, named Boqi. It was his disciple who stole the artifact. He couldn't blame him, so he chased and killed him personally. His whereabouts from now on are unknown. It is rumored that he traveled overseas, details of which are unknown."
"Where did the news about Elder Birch going overseas come from?"
"Senior Lai."
"Lai Mian?"
"A disciple of Elder Ying Ling once mentioned this person..." The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Yu Ye glanced at Zhan Kun, silently thinking about his thoughts.
For decades, he has been closely related to the artifact, and with the collection of many relics, the truth of the past seems to have gradually emerged.
Back then, five immortal sects joined forces to destroy the Seven Kills Sect, and a group of Tianjitang disciples from the Tianji Sect accidentally obtained the artifact.
Among them, Qiu He, or Qiu Bo, suddenly became greedy and wanted to take the artifact as his own. As a result, he was hunted down and fled overseas.
Birch chased him away, not wanting both sides to suffer losses. Birch was rescued by Xie Luozi, but he was imprisoned by Xie Luozi for hundreds of years and suffered a lot.
Qiu He and others suffered all casualties, and the three artifacts were left everywhere. Presumably, there will inevitably be some discrepancies, and the whole story is probably this.
But why did Birch go overseas alone? If he had brought a few helpers, Qiu He and the others would never be able to escape.
The so-called lost artifact would never fall into his hands. Does he have other reasons or hidden secrets?
Inadvertently, Yu Ye glanced at him. On the streets, people were coming and going, but most of them were immortal cultivators, with different looks, expressions and cultivation levels.
At this moment, a woman walked through the crowd. Her back looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who she was.
Yu Ye suddenly felt something in his heart and rushed out of the stone pavilion. But in the blink of an eye, the woman's figure had disappeared without a trace.
He couldn't help but stand at the street entrance in a daze, looking around blankly. A momentary hallucination? In other words, I saw the wrong person...
