The three of them looked at the scene in front of them with stunned expressions. After a long time, Mo Guyuan finally realized the fact that shopkeeper Tong had passed away. He slowly stepped forward, brushed his eyes down with one hand, and at the same time turned back and said to the two of them.
"Shopkeeper Tong insisted on coming to this cave lake before his death. This place should be a very important place for him. How about we bury him here?" When Mo Guyuan said this, he looked more at Xiang Wan Ning, no matter what kind of unfamiliarity and misunderstanding there is between the two, shopkeeper Tong is always her biological father. Moreover, after experiencing the previous confession, I believe she has certain considerations in her heart.
Wan Ning looked at the figure that fell at her feet. At this moment, the man's hand was still tightly grasping the corners of his clothes. There was a lot of blood on the green clothes, which was eye-catching, and his face seemed to be... There are also thousands of regrets that remain unsaid.
"That's it, then bury it here." For a moment, Wan Ning turned away slightly, not wanting to look at him again.
Mo Guyuan and Yu Qinggong looked at it and quickly took care of the funeral affairs for Shopkeeper Tong. In this wilderness, the two of them met him by chance. Now that things have come to this, and Wan Ning has treated Shopkeeper Tong in these years It was difficult for her to fear the hatred with her own hands. In order not to waste time here, Mo Guyuan and Yu Qinggong simply cleaned up and dug a pile of soil next to the cloud viewing platform on the bank of the cave lake. After burying shopkeeper Tong in the pit, a dead tree was placed on top of it to serve as a tombstone.
After sorting out everything, Yu Qingqing originally planned to let Mo Guyuan leave with him. After all, some of the grievances and grievances had nothing to do with him. If he hadn't accidentally fallen into the water earlier, there wouldn't have been so many in the future. thing.
But Mo Guyuan just shook his head at her, as if he had to get to the bottom of this matter. Yu Qinggong knew Mo Guyuan's stubborn character. Maybe besides wanting to find out the truth of the matter, It's probably more of a worry about me going through the river this time.
"Miss Wan Ning, as for the anecdotes and secrets Jiang Chen once told you about Xinghua Village, since Shopkeeper Tong didn't let you say what he said before his death, you should keep it in your heart. Maybe it was a deep meaning he had hidden. We should Respect him and wait until we get to Xinghua Village to find out more if we have a chance." Mo Guyuan said softly to Wan Ning.
Wan Ning had been watching the two people's busy work from front to back. Seeing that Mo Guyuan still didn't forget to remind shopkeeper Tong of his last words, Wan Ning nodded and said
"I don't know the reason, but I will remember it."
"That's very good. In fact, I have already noticed the weirdness and magic of Xinghua Village when I stepped into this place earlier, but I have never thought about it carefully. Regardless of the Feng Shui or the landform structure of this place, according to the Taoist theory of the Five Elements and Bagua in the book, Judging from the inference, there are traces to follow, and it can be seen that there is still an expert plan, so Xinghua Village has been able to survive for thousands of years, even if it is isolated from the world, it can still stand evergreen." Mo Guyuan said slowly.
In this regard, Wan Ning did not answer the question, but just thought about what she knew. After carefully recalling what Mo Guyuan said, for a water monster of her lineage, she had a deeper understanding of the various signs in Xinghua Village. Mo Guyuan cast a bright light and his eyes flickered.
"Then why bother? Since everything is wrong in Xinghua Village, if we want to know the truth of the matter, we might as well go to Xinghua Village again." Yu Qinggong urged.
Mo Guyuan pondered for a moment, but did not directly agree to Yu Qinggong's opinion. He just waved his hand to indicate that he would not be in a hurry for a while, and at the same time continued to ask Wan Ning.
"I wonder if Miss Wan Ning remembers those years when you lived in Jiang Chen's house. Is there anything strange about him?" Wan Ning thought about it carefully for a while and said slowly.
"Aside from the weird atmosphere in their family, Jiang Chen is no different. In addition, he was still young at that time. Apart from being willful and playful, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him." Mo Guyuan frowned after hearing this. , subconsciously asked:
"About the last time you walked to Guanhe River, I once heard the village chief and shopkeeper Tong talk about it in Xinghua Village. They said that the floods in Guanhe River surged a few years ago. You were nowhere to be seen at that time. The villagers were worried about your safety. Many people were worried about your safety. I took the risk to go out to look for you, but after working all night, I still couldn't see any trace of you. But when Jiang Chen rushed home, he saw you killing his parents with his own eyes. Do you still remember?" Wan Ning was stunned. He was stunned, then said angrily
"That's nonsense. I have lived in his house for many years. His parents treated me very well. Although they sometimes behaved strangely, they never meant to hurt me. How could I be so cruel to his parents."
"Hey, why are things always wrong? What happened?" Yu Qinggong became more and more confused and couldn't help but ask.
Wan Ning said carefully
"The reason why the floods in the Guanhe River surged that night was indeed related to me, because I knew a few years ago that Jiang Chen had some interest and liking for me, so I took the opportunity to trick him into removing the iron rails under the three arch bridges. I stole the sword so that I could sneak across the river and succeed. But I didn’t expect that this guy had dirty intentions and actually wanted to take advantage of me. I was very angry at the time, but for my own plan, I could only pretend to cooperate with him and agree to it. As long as he takes off the iron sword at the bottom of the bridge and allows me to successfully walk across the river, then with the fortune my mother left for me and the road that fills the river, I will definitely be able to control the entire river. In this way, I will take revenge. The opportunity is just around the corner.”
"I remember that afternoon, Jiang Chen told me that when he was playing in the river, he had taken off all three iron swords under the bridge and secretly hid them in the sand on the shore. The moment he finished speaking, He wanted to push me down in their house, but by chance he was discovered by his parents who came back. Jiang Chen had no choice but to let it go because of his face. And I took the opportunity to secretly go to the lower reaches of Guanhe River and wait until I saw the bridge with my own eyes. When there was indeed no trace of the iron sword, I was overjoyed, so I didn't stop doing anything, and directly revealed my body and dived into the water, starting from the upstream area and heading straight to the bottom of the Guan River."
"Fortunately, it was much easier for me to walk along the river this time without the restraints of the iron sword under the bridge. I could even feel the combination of the spiritual energy in the Guan River and my physical body. It wasn't until I walked through the entire Guan River in peace that I finally When he came back to his senses with lingering fears, he saw that the floodwaters in the Guanhe River had surged, and many houses and apricot trees had been swallowed up by the floods. Because of the sudden strange phenomenon, it quickly attracted the attention of several monks on the mountain. In order not to be caught by the mountain The monk noticed it, so I put away my magical powers and rushed home. But when I got home, I happened to see Jiang Chen holding a long sword. The sword and his clothes were covered with blood, and he looked like a man on fire. The possessed monster not only killed his parents, but even swallowed their internal organs alive!" Wan Ning seemed to have recalled something, and said with a bit of horror on her face at this moment.
Mo Guyuan and Yu Qinggong were shocked when they heard this. If Wan Ning hadn't told it personally, they would never have imagined that things would have such a reversal and surprise.
"I heard from the head of Xinghua Village that you were the one who killed Jiang Chen's parents, but you said you saw Jiang Chen kill his parents with your own eyes. Which of you is lying?" Yu Qinggong asked directly.
Wan Ning naturally felt confident and said:
"If it's true that I'm going to kill you, why are you going around in circles? Don't talk about his parents. I'm going to overthrow the entire Xinghua Village with the flood of water. If I kill him, I'll kill him. If it's not me, then he's not me! Can I lie to you after seeing it with my own eyes? At that time, Jiang Chen found out that he was watching his every move in front of my door. He quickly turned his finger on me. He not only shouted loudly to stop my behavior, but also called several monks on the mountain to confront me. They hunted me down and said frankly that I was the human form of a monster on the mountain, and my purpose was to harm their village." Mo Guyuan listened to Wan Ning's words carefully, and then asked
"Then during those years when you were at Jiang Chen's house, did you foster your own inner elixir in the bodies of Jiang Chen's parents? This was used to stabilize your inner elixir soul."
"How is it possible? Monster beasts foster their own inner elixirs in the bodies of mortals. Not to mention that I don't worry about it. Even this method is extremely cruel. The inner elixir of monster beasts gathers the essence of each monster. If it is fostered in the body of ordinary people, Over time, it will not only make ordinary people possess demonic nature, but also slowly erode the blood and spirit in their bodies until they die." Wan Ning said truthfully.
Yu Qinggong on the side did not have any objections to this. Generally speaking, the inner elixir of the monster beast would not be easily revealed to others. After all, some of the taboos involved were rarely known, and more importantly, the consequences were unpredictable.
Mo Guyuan carefully filtered all the details. After a moment, he raised his head, smiled lightly at Wan Ning, and said seriously
"I believe what Miss Wan Ning said." Yu Qinggong also agreed.
"I believe you too. If you ask me, it's the one named Jiang Chen who has evil intentions." Wan Ning saw the two of them greeting her with smiles, full of sincerity, and was at a loss for a moment.
"you......"
"Miss Wan Ning, if we want to know the truth of the matter, I'm afraid we really have to go to Xinghua Village. What do you think?" Mo Guyuan asked with a smile.
Wan Ning came back to her senses and saw that both of them were looking at her. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded lightly.
After Mo Guyuan received Wan Ning's reply, he quickly looked at Yu Qinggong and said
"Miss Yu, Jiang Chen is now holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and he is quite suppressing you Zoujiang. Just to be safe, we can't rush into Xinghua Village to avoid disturbing the situation." Yu Qinggong asked immediately
"According to what you said, do you have any good ideas?" Mo Guyuan was confident. He winked at Yu Qinggong and said with a fake smile.
"Don't forget that I did a huge favor to Xinghua Village not long ago. I might be able to find out something if I go out in person this time. As for you, just hide in the dark and cooperate with me."
