Liu Qingyan pondered for a long time before saying: "It has been hundreds of years and many things have been forgotten, but that incident is like yesterday."
"Back then, I went out for training with my sect master. During the training, I met a group of people. They were all descendants of the Cheng family, and there was also a casual cultivator. I only remember his surname was Xiao, and everyone called him Brother Xiao. We were a group of twenty If there are many people, prepare to experience it together!”
Cheng Ling was shocked. Could it be that the man named Xiao was Cheng Xueyao. He did not interrupt Liu Qingyan, but continued to listen.
"At that time, Brother Xiao took out a broken leather map and said that he got the tomb map of an ancient strong man by chance. If he could enter and explore it, he would definitely gain something, but the tomb was very dangerous. He As soon as manpower was insufficient, he wanted to invite us to participate.”
"Both the Cheng family and the sect master agreed, and we all went to look for the tomb together. A month later, we finally found the tomb and we all went in together."
"But the tomb is really dangerous. There are not only many formations, but also some puppets and monsters. The escape route is also blocked. We can only keep moving forward, hoping to find other ways out."
"Everyone has been searching in the tomb for a month, and has experienced many dangers, and more and more people have died. At that time, I only had the cultivation level of foundation building, and I was always protected by my master, but I didn't suffer any injuries!"
"One day, everyone found two passages in the tomb. At this time, there were only eight people left. They discussed that someone should enter the passage first to test whether it was the exit. At that time, I was the lowest in cultivation, so they naturally thought of me! "
"Master refused to agree, so they forced me to enter the passage first. At that time, I also hated them. I experienced many dangers along the way. Even the golden elixir monks couldn't protect themselves, but they wanted me to be alone. I went to explore the path during the foundation building period, and it was obvious that I was going to die!"
"It's just that under the coercion of everyone, I could only choose one passage and go in. I was very lucky. That passage turned out to be the residence of the owner of the tomb during his lifetime."
"None of them expected that the owner of the tomb connected his residence with the tomb. After I entered, I saw the influence left by the owner of the tomb. He taught me how to enter and leave, so I walked in, and the influence was also Disappeared."
"After entering the residence, I saw a fairy-like scene. The space inside the residence is very huge, and the aura of heaven and earth is very rich. There are many spiritual fruits and medicine gardens planted in the residence. There are also many elixirs and cultivation resources. I decided to stay there and improve my cultivation."
"It's a pity that those elixirs have been stored for too long and have become weathered. I ate herbs and spiritual fruits to practice. Those things are very precious. A year later, I broke through to the golden elixir stage."
"I wanted to go back to pick up the master, so I left quietly and returned to the original fork in the road, but I couldn't see anyone. There were too many formations in the tomb, and I didn't dare to break in. The only way I could go in was through another passage."
"I entered another passage and found the bodies of the master and several others in a hall. Only Brother Xiao was still alive, but he was also dying."
"I fed him the spiritual fruit and rescued him. When he was unconscious, I saw many words and patterns carved on the walls around the hall. Those patterns recorded the owner's experience and inheritance."
"I found out after reading those words that the owner of the tomb got two thick books by chance. It is said that those books contain great secrets. As long as you can decipher the secrets, you can stand at the top of the monastic world."
Hearing this, Cheng Ling's heart moved. Two thick books? There are already three books in front of me. It seems that the owner of the tomb does not know the specific number of thick books.
Liu Qingyan continued: "I searched in the hall, but in the end I only found one. I also checked the storage rings of the dead people and found none. At this time, Brother Xiao also woke up and asked me how to break through. How did the golden elixir revive him?"
"At this time, I regretted that I should not have saved him. Now he is the only one left in the hall, and it is obvious that another book is in his hands."
"His cultivation level has reached the golden elixir perfection, which is much higher than mine. I just made up a random reason, saying that I got some elixirs in the passage, and then I broke through the golden elixir and saved him. I also said that I wanted to get the master's elixir. Once the body is properly buried, take the opportunity to leave.”
"Unexpectedly, Brother Xiao was not at ease and followed him all the way. Fortunately, his injuries had not fully recovered, so I could not catch up for a while, so I returned to that residence."
"He had no way to enter, so he could only stay outside. I wanted to leave the tomb, but he kept staying outside and couldn't get out at all. I had to keep practicing in the residence and wait for the opportunity to break out after improving my cultivation level."
"With the resources in my residence, I practiced very quickly. Four years later, I reached the perfection of the golden elixir and completed all the patterns in the hall. At this time, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I decided to go out and meet him Fight to the death.”
"After I rushed out of the residence, I started fighting with him. Our cultivation levels were even, but I had the spiritual fruit to replenish my spiritual power, and gradually gained the upper hand. He resisted for a long time, and I wounded him in several places before running away."
"I chased him for a while, but for fear of being trapped by the formation, I had no choice but to leave the tomb and return to the Wuxiang Sword Sect. So far, I have never seen Brother Xiao again."
"That's it, he and I each got one of the two thick books. After hundreds of years, we have been unable to understand the secrets of the books, and our hearts have become weak, so we put them in the sect's library, hoping to have them in the future. Disciples can understand it."
"Now, it seems that you have understood the secret of that book!"
Cheng Ling suddenly realized, no wonder Xiyan heard Chen Haoran say that there was a book in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, but why was the other one in the Chen family? Does Brother Xiao have any relationship with the Chen family?
What Liu Qingyan said only confirmed the origin of the book, but could not infer who the fourth group of people were.
He asked, "Has your uncle ever told anyone about these things?"
Liu Qingyan said: "When I put the book in the sect's library, several hall masters had seen it. I didn't say anything specific, I just said that there was a huge secret in the book."
Cheng Ling was shocked. It seemed that he had made an omission. The fourth group of people might be members of the Wuxiang Sword Sect. So who is it? The master can rule out the four heads of the Wuxiang Sword Sect. Chen Hai, Cheng Yuan, and Song Hanyu are all suspects, and there is another one, the sect leader Xuan Wuxiang!
He then said: "Uncle Liu, my master died to protect me. That night, four groups of people ambushed us. The two groups I know are the He family and the Chen family, and there are two groups I cannot confirm."
Liu Qingyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a huge aura spread out, and she said in a cold voice: "Four groups of people, Chen family, He family, okay! You are indeed very courageous, even the leader of Wuxiang Sword Sect dares to kill!"
Cheng Ling said: "The He family has been destroyed. As for the Chen family, I will take revenge. There are only two groups left. Please pay more attention to Master Liu."
"Do you see any clues?"
"Yes, I believe that of these two groups, one is from the Cheng family, and the other is within the sect!"
"Cheng family? But Yan Bing's family? Why do you say that!"
Cheng Ling sighed: "They were after that thick book. The swordsmanship I learned did come from that thick book. It was left to me by my mother, who was born in the Cheng family. Therefore, the Cheng family also knows the secret of the book. , just came to snatch it!"
"Do you have any evidence? This matter concerns Yan Bing and the sect. We cannot make any hasty conclusions!"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I have no evidence, so I can only ask my uncle to pay more attention."
Liu Qingyan pondered for a while and then said: "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention! But boy, six years have passed, what will happen to your engagement with Yan Bing?"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he could only prevaricate: "It's been six years already, so there's no harm in delaying it for a while. Let's wait until I avenge the master!"
"Nonsense, you also know that after six years, Yan Bing has been waiting for you for so long. When will you wait? Do you really want to wait until she becomes an old girl before you marry her? Brat, you have already taken advantage of me. Are you ready to leave her alone?"
Cheng Ling stroked his forehead, this silly girl wouldn't even tell Liu Qingyan about helping her get the poison, right? Why are you so impatient? How can it be better to be forced into a corner now?
He could only struggle and said: "Uncle, you have to wait until I settle the matter with the Chen family! Besides, there are also suspicions about the Cheng family at the moment, do you still want me to marry her?"
Liu Qingyan flicked her arm and said domineeringly: "Those are two different things. The Cheng family is the Cheng family and has nothing to do with Yan Bing! What? You still don't like it? My disciple will not let others take advantage of him easily. Today You must give me an answer, otherwise you will never come down the mountain!"
Cheng Ling was completely speechless. The master was right. Uncle Liu was really tough and he started to force the marriage in front of him.
He could only say helplessly: "Okay, then after I finish solving the Chen family's affairs, I will naturally give an explanation to my uncle!"
Liu Qingyan said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. Boy, Yan Bing is a good girl. You have to cherish her. Don't be like me and your master. If you miss her, it will be a lifetime thing."
Cheng Ling secretly cursed: You are not too proud, but to be disrespectful, the master is too cowardly. If she is a girl I value, I will definitely stalk her and have to get my hands on her.
"How are you going to deal with the Chen family when you are alone? What's more, that is your father?" Liu Qingyan asked with concern.
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief, finally avoiding Cheng Yan Bing, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, don't worry, I can do whatever I want. Now the Chen family may be fighting to the death with the City Lord's Mansion. When they both lose, I will take action." hour."
Liu Qingyan nodded. Since he had a plan, he didn't force it, and warned: "Then be careful. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me for help at any time. Remember, after settling the matter with the Chen family, you must rush back to the sect as soon as possible. , Yan Bing is still waiting!"
Cheng Ling's head was full of black lines. Uncle Liu was really aggrieved if he didn't want to be a matchmaker. Just these two sentences came back again, and he hurriedly said perfunctorily: "I know, Master Liu, please don't worry, I will end it as soon as possible, and I will resign now!"
Liu Qingyan waved her hands and said no more.
Cheng Ling was granted amnesty, he was busy using his skills, and left the Wuxiang Sword Sect in an instant!
