A few people were talking when the door opened and Yan Shuang, whose eyes were still covered with a white veil, walked out. Although her perception was much worse than that of Li Jian, she was still a sword cultivator. Even if she was blindfolded, she could Yan Shuang walked out of the room without any worries, and even said at the door to the inside:
"Brother Ma, there is no need to come out, just practice more."
"Hey, it's easy to talk, it's just two steps away."
Following Qian Chao's familiar voice, Ma Hu also walked out of the room, but his appearance was extremely weird. His head was covered with fine linen cloth, and only a pair of eyes and mouth were exposed, which looked extremely funny.
Seeing Luo Ying and the three people outside the room, Ma Hu's small eyes exposed in the fine linen suddenly narrowed into slits, seeming to be smiling:
"Hey, why are you three at the door? Ma is not polite enough. Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
It's rare for Ma Hu to understand etiquette so well, but he got a big look from Luo Ying.
"Forget it, we are here to protect Yan Shuang. As long as we hear Yan Shuang's screams outside or hear your screams, we will always rush in to prevent you from taking advantage of others. ,Ha ha!"
Yan Shuang couldn't help but said angrily: "Sister Luo!"
Lu Shuang also smiled and said:
"Forget it. Your face didn't look good to begin with. Even though it's covered now, it looks like this. It's so scary. How can you still be in the mood to drink tea?"
"Hehe," Ma Hu didn't care at all about what the two of them said. Although his face was covered, he must have said with a smile on his face, "Then please forgive me for being rude."
Wenyuan finally couldn't help but said:
"It's really rare that Senior Brother Ma was so polite today..."
"hey-hey."
She thought she heard Qian Chao's voice outside the room. Yan Shuang turned her face towards Qian Chao, bowed slightly and saluted:
"Is it Junior Brother Qian?"
"That's right." Qian Chao quickly replied, "Senior Sister Yan's eyes are feeling better?"
"Well, it's much better. I would like to thank Junior Brother Qian for that day. I heard that I was possessed by a kind of soul-drawing magic. Thanks to Junior Brother Qian, he solved the magic for me in time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable. "
"Well... this is the first time I've seen that kind of method. The method used to break it was a bit too violent. It was all because Senior Sister Yan's situation at that time was too late. Otherwise, I would never dare to take action rashly, so I let Yan Senior sister’s eyes were injured…”
"No, Junior Brother Qian, I heard from my master that the sooner this method is solved, the less harm it will do to sword cultivators. It is also thanks to Junior Brother Qian that my practice has not been damaged. I am in a hurry today. I will wait for a while. After my eyes are healed, I will go to visit you to express my gratitude."
"I dare not take it seriously." Qian Chao said quickly.
Yan Shuang's master, Senior Lu of Mu Xiufeng, did not go with them to deal with Mu Yang Sect this time, but was ordered to sit in the sect. Therefore, when Yan Shuang returned to the sect with his eyes injured, Senior Lu also saw him. He was shocked, and after hearing about the cause and effect, he did not hesitate to use his true energy to completely drive away the remnants of the evil spell from the female disciple. Of course, as for the injuries to the eyes, even if there is a panacea, they still need to be carefully cultivated for some time. of.
Yan Shuang was very moved by Senior Lu's treatment of him. Since then, he has truly found a sense of belonging in the Wuling Sect and on Muxiu Peak.
…
After sending Yan Shuang and others away, Qian Chao and Ma Hu entered his room.
As soon as he entered the house, Ma Hu first looked through the window to see if the women were really gone, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, while Qian Chao was stunned, he pulled off all the linen cloth on his head. .
"Senior Brother Ma, you..."
"Hehe, it's nothing to make a fuss about. A few skin injuries are almost healed already."
Sure enough, after Ma Hu pulled off the layer of fine linen, his big face was almost healed, but you could easily see the previous scars on his face without looking carefully. After all, the color of the skin and flesh were a little different. His face was criss-crossed with scars like this. Think about how hard Yan Shuang must have scratched his face when he was in a frenzy!
"Now that it's fine, why just..."
"Hey, I don't understand, Junior Brother Qian, if she doesn't come, maybe I will be a little disappointed, but at worst I will go out in two days, but I expected that she will definitely come, hehe, now that she is here, I have to show it to her. I have to let her know that I was the one who risked my life to protect her in that dangerous and abnormal situation and was grabbed by her with my own hands. I have to make her feel guilty. In this way, she Look at me, I'm different from others, haha, let me tell you, Junior Brother Qian, women are very important, at least this is the case with Yan Shuang. Whenever she feels she owes someone else, she always thinks about paying it back, hehe, but I won't let her pay it back. , and let her owe more and more, when the time comes..."
Ma Hu said proudly, and Qian Chao looked at his proud expression and really doubted whether he had deliberately spread the rumor.
"But Miss Yan Shuang is blindfolded. With your head wrapped like this, she can't see it at all?"
"It's okay if you can't see it. You can touch it, hehe..." Ma Hu smiled more and more proudly.
Qian Chao was really convinced by Ma Hu, but this time he came to return the repaired armor, so he stopped dwelling on the topic and returned the armor to him. Ma Hu asked him to sit down and watch. He seemed to have something to say.
"Junior brother Qian, thanks to your armor this time, I didn't know the benefits of this thing before, but this time I finally realized it. Although I saved Yan Shuang several times at that time, I was still scared afterwards. Without this armor I must be dead, and if Yan Shuang really commits himself to me in the future, you will be considered a part of the credit."
"Uh... some trivial matters are insignificant. Senior Brother Ma, it seems that you have something to say to me, so you might as well say it."
"Well, there is something that originally had nothing to do with you, but firstly, I felt uncomfortable after hearing it. Secondly, I told you to tell it, and it also allowed you to recognize the true face of the two people. If anything happens in the future, It’s better to be more careful when dealing with them.”
"Oh? Brother Ma, please speak."
"These days, there are a lot of rumors in the sect, some about your Junior Brother Qian, and some... about me, haha, but there is one rumor among them. I wonder if Junior Brother Qian has noticed it?"
"which one?"
"That's Lin Jian. Lin Jian has returned to his Lin family. Have you heard the rumors about him leaving the sect?"
"Well, I heard it from others. It is said that a Korean girl died in the tide in Hanquan Valley. Senior Brother Lin, who was in love with the Korean girl, was so sad that he temporarily returned to the Lin family."
Speaking of which, Qian Chao is now also curious about the whereabouts of Han Tian and Ning Han. During the great tide in Hanquan Valley, he rescued the two of them under Lin Jian, but the situation was chaotic at that time and he could not take care of them at all. , seemed to have been taken away by Song Zhen and others. I didn’t know what happened to those two people later. I didn’t know that Han Tian and Ning Han were rushing to the Song family. I only knew that after the big tide, these two people They all disappeared, and then they heard rumors that Ning Han died in the tide. As for Han Tian, some people seemed to say that he was also killed in the tide that day, but not many people cared.
Qian Chao didn't believe this rumor. Back in Ruixuan Town, Tang Ping had promised Mr. Liu that he would resolve the alliance between the Han family and the Lin family. This must involve Ning Han. Now Ning Han Han's life and death were unknown, and Han Tian who was with her also disappeared. Although it seemed that she had fulfilled Mr. Liu's entrustment, Tang Ping was still thinking about Ning Han when she talked to him about it a few days ago. Life or death, she didn't want that poor woman to really die in the tide.
But since Ma Hu mentioned this rumor, he must know something inside, so he immediately asked again:
"Senior Brother Ma must know something inside. If nothing else, let me first ask if Miss Han, who was rumored to have died during the tide, is dead?"
"Hey, why do you care so much about her?"
"It's not that I care, it's Tang Ping. She once promised others to do something, and that girl Han was involved."
"He's not dead. Also, that kid Han Tian isn't dead either. He should probably be in Senior Brother Song Zhen's family now."
"Oh, so it's Senior Brother Song who protected the two of them?"
"Yes, let's assume that both of them died in the tide, and then let them leave the Wuling Sect and go to the Song family. Well, the Song family is also a powerful family. Although it is not as good as the Lin family. It's a bit worse, but the Lin family wouldn't dare to provoke him easily."
At this point, Qian Chao finally knew the whereabouts of Han Tian and Ning Han, and was relieved. He planned to tell Tang Ping when he saw her later.
"Don't you find it strange?" Ma Hu asked.
"It's a little strange. That senior brother Song Zhen should not be familiar with Han Gao or Ning Han. Why is he so kind to these two people?" Qian Chao could naturally grasp the key points from Ma Hu's words.
"I didn't tell you much about Senior Sister Bai Yun before. Now I'll tell you in detail. You'll understand after I finish."
…
"Senior Sister Bai Yun used to have several good friends around her, including Senior Brother Cui Yuan, Senior Brother Song Zhen, Senior Brother Ruan Tian and Senior Sister Bao Xian. The five of them were inseparable and had very good friendships with each other. Well, among them Well, Senior Sister Bai has always been interested in Senior Brother Cui Yuan. What’s rare is that Senior Brother Cui also admires Senior Sister Bai. The two of them are...well...if they are still together, of course they are still together, and they will surely be a happy Taoist couple in the future. , what a pity..."
When he said this, Ma Hu sighed and his expression became sad.
"However, Senior Brother Song Zhen among the five has also fallen in love with Senior Sister Bai Yun. His heart and eyes are full of her. However, Senior Brother Song is a person who observes etiquette. He knows how to advance and retreat. He knows that Senior Sister Bai has no thoughts in her heart. I am not angry at Senior Brother Cui. On the contrary, he and Senior Brother Cui are considered close friends. Hey, there is also Senior Sister Bao Xian who has always been in love with Senior Brother Cui. She is also full of bitterness, but she is still with Senior Brother Cui. Senior Sister Bai is a good sister, hey, these five people, it would be good if they were Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Bao Xian..."
After hearing this, Qian Chao realized that there was such a complicated relationship among the five people including Senior Sister Bai Yun.
"I told you what happened later. Something happened to Senior Sister Bai, and Senior Brother Cui also died. The reason why Shangguan Hong was expelled from the sect was because of the death of Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Cui. That was a trick. The poison of a venomous scorpion insect named Jin Pipa. Golden Pipa is a rare high-grade demon insect. The only person who had that kind of demon insect in the sect at that time was Shangguan Hong, so naturally she was the biggest suspect. Thanks to Shangguan’s master, Qiu Huahe, Yu Ling’s Dan-forming senior, she managed to save her life, but ended up being expelled.”
"After that incident, the remaining three of the original five people, Senior Brother Song Zhen, Bao Xian and Ruan Tian, because they felt uncomfortable staying in the sect, they each returned to their own aristocratic families. .”
"Here we are going to talk about Shangguan Hong. After she was expelled, she has not been idle at home these years. The Shangguan family is also considered a powerful family. It is also the case that her daughter was expelled from the sect. Shangguan Hong Killing myself to death had nothing to do with that matter, so I naturally had to investigate it carefully, but after years of secret visits and inquiries, they really found out the clues."
"Junior brother Qian, on the day of the great tide in Hanquan Valley, do you still remember the person who was defeated by your mirror?"
"Of course I remember." Qian Chao replied.
"Well, that person's name seems to be Shu Hai, and he was the one who killed Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Cui Yuan back then."
Qian Chao suddenly remembered the method used by the guy named Shu Hai. Different beast souls were banned on that person using the method of talismans, and then used this method as a method. It can almost be classified as a sorcery. At that time One of his arms turned into a long black scorpion tail, and the poisonous needle stabbed Tang Ping directly. He used the "Flame Mirror" refined in advance to break the formation that sealed the beast soul, and then Tang Ping was saved. Ping.
Thinking of this, Qian Chao's heart moved and he followed what Ma Hu said and guessed:
"Could it be that... what is sealed in the formation carved on his body is the soul of a monster like Jin Pipa?"
"Hey, I don't understand much about this, but that's pretty much what it means. The people he killed with that method died in the same way as Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Cui back then. In Hanquan Valley, Senior Brother Song Zhen and others saw it with their own eyes. It was confirmed that Shu Hai committed the murder. And Shu Hai... hehe... he is from the Lin family!"
"What!"
Qian Chao was a little surprised when he heard this. If you put it this way, then the person who ordered Shu Hai to kill Senior Sister Bai and Cui was Lin Jian!
"Lin Jian?"
"Yes, it was him. When Shu Hai was defeated in front of your mirror, that man was taken away by Brother Song Zhen, right? Then they took Shu Hai to find Lin Jian who was hiding in secret, and in front of Lin Jian Jian's face... Well, anyway, Shu Hai had to die a good death. But before Shu Hai died, Senior Brother Song Zhen and Shangguan forced him to find out something. Well, it was Lin Jian who asked Shu Hai to kill him back then. Got Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Cui!"
"Why...why is he like this?" Qian Chao asked.
"This involves the Korean girl. It was a big tide day, so I didn't have time to take a closer look. Alas, this Han girl usually keeps a low profile and has no reputation at all. It was only this time that I found out There is such a woman in the sect, so for so many years, such obvious evidence has been ignored..."
"What evidence?"
"Although that Miss Han is very different in temperament and temperament, her appearance is almost the same as that of Senior Sister Bai back then!"
Hearing this, Qian Chao finally realized. No wonder, no wonder Tang Ping was very curious. Ning Han was not an outstanding beauty. Why was Lin Jian always fascinated by her? Tang Ping was even a little malicious. I wonder if Ning Han has any tricks to confuse people. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. Lin Jian was also one of the people who admired Senior Sister Bai back then, and he was the kind of person who had deep intentions but couldn't get what he wanted. Ning Han didn't use any tricks to confuse Lin Jian. It was Lin Jian who killed Cui and Bai out of jealousy when he couldn't get Senior Sister Bai. After seeing Ning Han in the sect, he was immediately attracted. If he really couldn't get it, he could get a fake one. To comfort him, he kept controlling Ning Han.
"Not only that evidence, but you also saw it that day. Lin Jian wanted to kill Han Tian and Han Ning. Before that, Senior Brother Song Zhen also overheard Lin Jian's conversation with Han Tian and Han Ning in the forest. , it seems that Han Tian and Han Ning were about to escape and were caught by Lin Jian. Lin Jian said it himself at that time. He only wanted to kill Cui because of jealousy, but Senior Sister Bai came to find him. When Shu Hai attacked Senior Brother Cui, Senior Sister Bai sacrificed her life to save him, and then... Well, he had already planned to blame Shangguan Hong."
"I see..." Qian Chao nodded. He didn't expect that what happened more than 20 years ago would be so complicated and tortuous, with so many hidden secrets.
