The golden-masked man was silent for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "What you said makes some sense. However, over the years, there have been spies lurking in Zhenxianmeng to investigate this matter, but they have not found anything. Do you have any new ideas?"
Chen He shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is the same. We can only investigate carefully and trace every little bit of the past. The 'Floating Clouds Division' of the True Immortal Alliance has always protected and protected those shadows whose identities and origins are extremely secretive. We don't know how many secrets are hidden within it, and it has also been the focus of our investigation for many years. It's just that the results have not been obvious all these years. "
At this point, Chen He paused for a while, then his eyes flashed and he said, "But I have an idea that might be helpful."
"Say it."
"In the past, we have always tried our best to track down those 'shadows' whose identities and origins are very mysterious, but it often takes twice the effort for half the result. However, these days, I have been secretly thinking, maybe we can change our idea and start from those who come into contact with the shadows?"
"Hmm?" The golden-masked man suddenly raised his head. Obviously, this sentence had aroused his interest.
Chen He immediately noticed this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but his expression did not change. He continued to say, "Zhenxianmeng has always attached great importance to the safety of the shadows, and the protection is extremely tight. However, people who come into contact with the shadows, such as inspectors, surveillance, and other people, although they also have their own ways of keeping secrets, are often in the open, such as the personal disciples of the major sects. So, if we start from these people and follow the clues …"
"Very good! Let's do this! " A shout directly interrupted Chen He's words. Chen He was not angry, but happy. He quickly bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey!"
The golden-masked man slowly stood up, his eyes staring at the terrifying skeletons in the fire in front of him. Suddenly, he let out a low roar, like the roar of an evil spirit, which made people tremble with fear. A sound of hatred came from behind the mask, and he said coldly, "The great foundation of the Divine Sect, and the lives of the three elders, should have been the most prosperous situation in the past five hundred years, but it was all destroyed in the hands of that traitor. If this fiend doesn't die, how can our God Sect live?! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved one of his arms, and with a boom, a ball of flames rose up, the fire blazed, as if it wanted to swallow the world, and in the roaring flames, that voice also seemed to be burning, like metal striking stone, like a hoarse roar, shouting and cursing towards the darkness!
"Crush the bones and scatter the ashes!"
"Soul extraction and soul refining!"
"Let him die …"
…
Night fell as usual. The strange and mournful wails of ghosts and the wind once again spread throughout the tea mountain. In the darkness of the night, Lu Chen stood outside the hut and glanced at the tea mountain. All he saw was silence and deep. The darkness was as thick as an ink-smeared painting.
He stood there expressionlessly for a moment, then walked back to the hut, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep without a sound.
…
The next time he saw Dingdang, it was already two days later. At that time it was morning, Dingdang was walking by a clear stream in the village. Her beautiful appearance was like the most beautiful peach blossom, dazzling, and in this season where the peach blossoms had already withered, she was still in full bloom, attracting the gazes of countless people in the village.
But she did not care about the surrounding gazes, her eyes were so bright, as if she was standing on the clouds, disdaining the dust, and also as if she was a person with a different fate, even the people who greeted her rarely paid attention.
She kept smiling, but did not show her smile to anyone. She was happy from the bottom of her heart, but only wanted to let herself be happy, and was not willing to give even a little bit to the people beside her. Until she saw Lu Chen standing at the entrance of the small wine shop, Dingdang stopped for the first time, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face, and then she warmly smiled at Lu Chen from afar.
Like a peach blossom in the spring wind, tender and beautiful, but also seemed to have a bit of reserved nobility, causing people to not dare to approach.
Lu Chen returned a smile, nodded to her, and then turned to walk into the small wine shop.
Old Ma sat at the table, the wine shop was still not doing well, so his face did not look good. Lu Chen walked to his side, sat down, and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
Old Ma glanced at him, and said unhappily, "You already know the answer, but still ask."
Lu Chen laughed, "You are not really relying on this wine shop to make a living, why are you looking at it so seriously?"
Old Ma snorted, went to the counter to get a jug of wine, and threw it to him, then said in a low voice, "The matter with Xu Yunhe from the Thousand Autumns Sect has already been spread back to Zhenxianmeng, I heard that the higher-ups are furious, and are investigating this matter."
Lu Chen poured a cup of wine, thought for a moment, and said, "This matter is indeed a bit over the line, but it is also a bit strange, at least for more than ten years, the Three Realms Divine Sect has not done something so out of line."
Old Ma shrugged, and said, "Maybe these years they have been suppressed too much, or maybe there is a new figure in the Evil Sect, and in order to establish their power, they killed the chicken to scare the monkey or something." As he spoke, he looked at Lu Chen and said, "Hey, tell me, why is it that the Evil Sect, this broken thing, how many times have they been beaten and destroyed, yet they are able to survive every time, dying like an unkillable bug."
Lu Chen was silent, after a while, his voice suddenly became a bit lower, and he said, "Maybe it is because the people in there are especially simple-minded, believing in some things to the point that even we can't understand."
Old Ma's expression changed slightly, looked at Lu Chen's expression, and then coughed, but changed the topic, and said, "Oh yes, there is news from Old Liu, he has already handed over all the matters at Immortal City, and will officially retire in a few days to go back to his original sect."
Lu Chen nodded, and said, "That is not bad, Old Liu is a good person."
The two of them chatted casually in the tavern, just like they had done countless times in the past. In this ordinary mountain village, the two of them looked like ordinary people, staying in the most ordinary corner of the world, quietly living an ordinary and leisurely life.
At noon, when Lu Chen was about to walk out of the door, he suddenly heard Old Ma suddenly said, "You seem to look good these days."
Lu Chen's body paused for a moment, smiled, and did not say anything, and walked out.
He walked all the way back to the hut at the foot of Tea Mountain, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed. Not long after, in his Qi Sea, the brand-new but the most ordinary Five Elements Divine Disk slowly emerged. Lu Chen's face was calm, and he just quietly adjusted his breath. Gradually, a very subtle spiritual power appeared in his Qi Meridian, and slowly flowed.
