The miscellaneous room under Yunlong Peak.
Luo Qingyun stood in front of the cupboard door and slowly arranged the food boxes, dishes and chopsticks.
This is a dining room specially designed to prepare uniform meals for the disciples in the peak who have not yet entered the Tao. There are many servants, and she has been hanging out here for two days without anyone noticing.
This place is very busy except for three meals a day, and the rest of the time is relatively free. Luo Qingyun can hear what's going on inside the door from other people's conversations without having to pry, so it is a good place.
"I heard that the last person from the five major sects came down from the mountain today."
"I heard that the five major sects came together this time, and there were many dangers. Fortunately, the sect master survived."
"I don't know why the disciples from the Thousand Stars Palace stayed for a few more days, which kept me awake all night."
"I heard that it is related to the genius in the sect."
"That person named Tang Yin is really gone?"
"Is that still false? I saw her go down the mountain with my own eyes."
"..."
Luo Qingyun's tidying up movements paused, showing no abnormality, until night fell, she quietly followed the mountain path up the mountain, until she was in front of the small courtyard, and listened attentively.
When he heard the only sound of even breathing inside, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he opened the door silently.
The lights in the courtyard have been turned off and it is pitch dark.
Luo Qingyun walked out of the room in the dark, and just when she opened the door, the lights inside suddenly turned on, revealing two extremely familiar faces.
"Sister..."
Tang Yin's eyes were red and her tone was harsh, "You are really cruel."
Luo Qingyun stayed there for a moment and sighed helplessly: "You two actually joined forces to lie to me."
After a while, the three of them sat down around the round table.
Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless for Luo Qingyun to evade, so she simply confesses: "Yin'er, it's not that senior sister doesn't miss you, senior sister also has unspeakable difficulties..."
"Is it because of the Demon Palace?"
Tang Yin rushed to say, "If it's because of this, senior sister, you don't need to worry."
Luo Qingyun looked shocked, "You all know?"
When Tang Yin heard this, she was even more shocked than Luo Qingyun, "Senior sister, was it really because of the Demon Palace that you disappeared eleven years ago?"
Luo Qingyun looked at her appearance and frowned slightly, "Has the Demon Palace been born recently?"
"Roughly the same."
Tang Yin took a slight breath and glanced at Xiang Shen next to her.
Xiang Shu knew what she was thinking, and immediately said: "I have grown up, and I also want to listen. This matter is also related to the safety of my sect, so there is no harm in listening more. Senior Sister Tang, don't you think so?"
Tang Yin opened her mouth, but found that she had no way to refute. Seeing that Luo Qingyun had no intention of stopping her, she couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "I just received the news today. Just the day before yesterday, the Demon Palace near the Second Capital City A secret stronghold in the stronghold was overthrown, and no one of the 3,528 people in the stronghold was spared."
Luo Qingyun's pupils shrank suddenly, "Did the Lord take action?"
"no."
Tang Yin shook her head and smiled bitterly, "This is weird. We don't know who did it."
At this point, Tang Yin simply told Luo Qingyun everything that happened on the day the five major sects came to visit.
After Luo Qingyun heard this, she was completely shocked.
She only hid for three or two days, but the whole Dongzhou changed?
All of this seems to be related to the Supreme Leader of Wanjianmen?
"Elder brother also suspects that this matter has something to do with the Supreme Master of Wanjianmen. However, according to Ying Changfeng, the Supreme Master of Wanjianmen is old and frail. There is no way he could have chosen the entire Demon Palace stronghold by himself."
Luo Qingyun nodded thoughtfully, "The Demon Palace has committed so many evil things, it's not surprising that it was destroyed by anyone, but this matter is indeed a bit shocking. It can kill an entire city in an instant. The person who took action Your cultivation level must be above the out-of-body stage, otherwise no matter what happens, someone will escape by chance."
Luo Qingyun's analysis was sound and logical, and the initiator of this incident was sitting between the two of them, looking at his nose, his nose and his heart.
With a hint of embarrassment.
Listening to these two people talking about themselves, it felt really bad.
Fortunately, both Luo Qingyun and Luo Qingyun were thinking, and no one noticed the difference in Xiang Shen's expression.
"Sister, please tell me about what happened back then."
Tang Yin finally couldn't hold back the conversation, "My senior brother and I both feel that you are afraid of injuring the sect, so you don't choose to show up, but for this reason alone, it is really unjustifiable to remain anonymous."
Luo Qingyun struggled with her eyes for a moment, and finally sighed softly: "Indeed... there are other reasons."
Luo Qingyun seemed to be lost in memories, with deep pain in her eyes, "The thing that caused me eternal damnation was not the Demon Palace, but... my younger brother, Qingchen."
"What?!"
Tang Yin was shaken all over, "Senior Brother Qingchen? How could..."
In her memory, she remembered the young man who always liked to tease her. His temperament was a bit unruly, but he had a good heart and never bullied her like other senior brothers and sisters.
How could such a warm-hearted senior brother attack his fellow disciples? And the target of the attack was none other than his own sister.
"Back then, our five major sects worked together to explore the strange land. Although there were many demons causing trouble, we and the true disciples joined forces and we were not at a disadvantage."
Luo Qingyun pursed her lips tightly, "While we were exploring, we deduced the regular changes in the land until... we reached a door."
Xiang Shen's eyes flickered.
The door again.
The Demon Palace can use the Boundary Breaking Stone to break through space channels anywhere, so why does it have to use the door as a medium?
She also remembered that in the ghost stream branch, she, Dong Jinghuan and others were trapped in the illusion, and the door was also the boundary.
The door seems to have an unusual significance in this Dongzhou world.
She was thinking in her mind, and at the same time, her ears did not miss the ensuing conversation between the two people at the table.
"In front of that door, everyone's inner demons exploded and killed each other."
Luo Qingyun's eyes were filled with sadness, "In less than an hour, the team was in the hands of our own people, with all the casualties. What's even more hateful is the Incense Palace!"
Luo Qingyun's face showed murderous intent, "The monks from Incense Palace who entered the strange place with us are all demonic cultivators!"
Tang Yin looked pale, "How is that possible? The Incense Palace was jointly created by the five major sects. It was founded not long ago. Even if the Demon Palace wanted to infiltrate, it would take time. How could it be so fast?"
"The female is good."
Luo Qingyun's tone became softer, but the content of her words became heavier, "I said those people went crazy in front of the door back then, but Qingchen... wasn't crazy."
"He's awake."
Luo Qingyun's face showed mockery, "He just soberly drove the Yin Stone into my body, and then stood together with the monks of the Demon Palace."
Tang Yin's heart twitched when she heard this, but after all, it was an old thing eleven years ago, and the sadness had long since passed. Even though she was extremely shocked, she still retained her rationality. She immediately grasped the key and asked, "Yin stone?"
This was the first time she heard this name, "Senior sister, you don't hesitate to use the forbidden art of pulse sealing because..."
"Um."
Luo Qingyun nodded lightly. After speaking, the pain in her eyes disappeared a lot, "The Yin Stone penetrated into my body, and an indescribable chaos rushed straight into the sea of my consciousness, causing me to quickly turn to the Earthly Yin Demon. change."
Tang Yin's face changed in shock, "Is this happening? But the seniors of the sect who have entered the mysterious land to explore these years have never had similar experiences."
"That Yin Stone should be quite precious."
Luo Qingyun was silent for a moment and continued: "In the chaos, I heard a few scattered words between Qingchen and them. It is not easy to condense the Yin Stone. Among the disciples who led the team back then, I was the most profound in cultivation, so they chose Determine me to transform demons and use them in the underworld."
Tang Yin looked at Luo Qingyun, her eyes moist: "What happened next?"
Luo Qingyun saw her junior sister's appearance and chuckled: "You should have guessed what happened next, right?
Although the sealing of my veins temporarily prevented me from being harmed by the Yin Stone, the dissipated cultivation level increased my strength dramatically, and the loss of control caused by the short-term demonization did not disappear.
It dissipated immediately. At that time, I lost my mind. "
Luo Qingyun closed her eyes, and finally said the words that she least wanted to face in her heart: "I killed Qingchen, and I also killed...all the living people present at the time."
Whether it was the survivors of the five major sects or the monks of the Demon Palace, regardless of whether they were friends or foes, they were all killed by her.
Tang Yin opened her mouth slightly and looked at Luo Qingyun. She was stunned and had forgotten to speak.
It turns out that this is the truth behind the tragedy.
She stayed for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Luo Qingyun's hand tightly and said urgently: "Senior Sister, this is not your fault!"
"I know."
Luo Qingyun comforted her softly and sighed softly, "But I can't get over the hurdle in my heart, and if I show up for this matter, I won't be able to withstand investigation. Putting the blame on the illusory Demon Temple back then will only make people think that I am Excusing myself.
After I regained my senses, my cultivation was about to dissipate. I was so disheartened that I simply found a random place and prepared to kill myself. "
Having said this, Luo Qingyun tilted her head and cast her gentle gaze on Xiang Shen's face, "It was at this time that I picked up Shen'er. When she saw her floating from the river, she smiled at the first sight of me. , I suddenly didn’t want to die.
So I found a village to live in, and by chance, Shuan'er was spotted by Wan Jianmen, and that's how we met today. "
After saying this, Luo Qingyun breathed a long sigh of relief and her eyes became relaxed.
The stone that had been weighing on her heart for eleven years disappeared.
After that, Luo Qingyun and Tang Yin talked about many past events, and Xiang Yu simply got up and went back to the room, leaving the two of them alone.
Back in the room, Xiang Shu didn't take a rest. He concentrated on sorting out clues while no one was disturbing him.
Before in the strange land, she speculated that the origin of chaos consists of two parts. One is the white mist in the strange land. Except that it cannot be removed with true energy, it itself is almost harmless to the monks. It is more like the appearance of the space channel in the East Continent. The stress response produced.
Combined with what Luo Qingyun said and another part of the origin of chaos, it is most likely the Yin Stone.
But if we further speculate, why the origin of chaos condensed between Yinshi and Baiwu, and how much connection it has with the puppet sect leader, is unknown.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu, instead of being depressed, showed a smile.
Although the calculation to this step is not perfect, it is more than enough for solving the problem.
