Xuantian Law Envoy

Chapter 193 Old News
"Going back? Have you finished investigating the village?" Lian Zhen was puzzled when he heard Xu Qing and Yu Qingzi's plans.

He felt that a group of people had just arrived here.

The chairs are not even warmed up, so I have to go back again.

"I learned something." Xu Qing told Lian Zhen about the fairy cave.

After hearing this, Lian Zhen was eager to try: "Is there such a place? Why don't we go and see it?"

Xu Qing and Yu Qingzi looked at each other, and said speechlessly, "I'm afraid you don't know how to write dead characters?"

However, Lian Zhen shook his head: "You guys are wrong, of course I know it's dangerous there, but it might be a fairy burial place! There must be a peerless treasure!"

"There are many monks in this world who are not afraid of death in pursuit of wealth."

"If this matter gets out, the whole Beizhou and even the surrounding states will be disturbed."

"If that place is really that dangerous, maybe this incident will cause a terrible and bloody storm. It's no wonder that the Chen family suppressed this incident and didn't tell the outside world."

Hearing Lian Zhen's words, Xu Qing nodded thoughtfully: "It's true, all along, because of the protection and training of the sect, I have never been poor in terms of spirit stones and magic weapons."

"It is often overlooked that this is a cruel and cruel cultivation world."

Yu Qingzi also nodded: "Our origin determines our way of thinking, which is normal."

"Speaking of it, disciples of great sects and monks of great families are often more naive and immature."

Xu Qing waved her hand: "It's far away, let's get back to business, I'll go to the Chen family's old house and look at it later and we'll go back."

"Brother Wang, please inform Chen Wuhai so that he can gather the elders from the branches of the Chen family first."

Wang Gengzheng, who was at the side, listened to the discussion of the three with great interest, but when Xu Qing called him that, he was taken aback for a moment, and soon came back to his senses.

Yeah, they still have work to do.

Chen's old house.

A large house with five or six courtyards.

Since the death of the Chen family member, no one in the Chen family dared to live here, so they moved away directly and took refuge in the main line.

So Xu Qing was not surprised when he saw barrenness and weeds all over his eyes.

"Well, although it can be seen that there are occasional maintenance here, it is indeed a bit gloomy, but I don't think Chen Zhankong will go to this place to pay homage to his ancestors or miss his old hometown?"

Yu Qingzi stood in the courtyard and shook his head.

At this moment, the night was falling and the moon was shining. A group of four people were standing in the courtyard and observing the old house of the Chen family.

Except for Xu Qing who was looking around, the other three were unwilling to step into any building.

Especially after listening to the legend about the fairy cave and the weirdness.

When the old people in the village heard that they and others were going to enter the Chen family's old house, they closed their doors one after another.

Even the old man named Luo Yi reasoned that he had a sudden stomachache, so he took the four of them to the door and slipped away.

This kind of lame reason besides showing the fear in their hearts.

It also added a haze to the hearts of Yu Qingzi and others.

Emotions are contagious, although they are all monks, and they are very powerful.

But Chen Zhankong is so strong, isn't he also dead?

"Have you found anything?"

Finding that Xu Qing didn't seem to pay attention to him, Yu Qingzi couldn't help asking.

Xu Qing flashed out from behind a certain room and shook his head: "Except for dust and weeds, there is nothing else, and no special traces were found."

"Let's go, let's go back to the city."

Yu Qingzi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked outside.

At the courtyard gate, Xu Qing looked back at the gloomy mansion and shook his head.

I thought I would find some clues here.

The reality still disappointed him.

Xu Qing also deliberately took out the weird picture scroll he found from Chen Zhankong's home and searched around.

But no traces related to it were found.

It's just that Chen Zhankong's death is somewhat similar to what Luo Yi and others said about the death of the ancestors of the Chen family who were possessed by evil spirits.

It might be possible to learn some old news from the elders of the branch of the Chen family, and it might be able to help them solve the case.

It only took an hour to go back to the city, which was the result of Xu Qing and the others not rushing on their way deliberately.

As soon as he entered Chen Zhankong's mansion, Xu Qing saw Chen Wuhai sitting in the main hall with two old people, with a respectful attitude.

Seeing Xu Qing and the others, Chen Wuhai hurriedly got up and introduced: "Grandfathers, these are the alliance envoys and the main dark guard masters."

"Master Law Enforcement Envoy, these two are the elders of the branch of my family, and they are my great-grandfathers according to their seniority."

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they sat down.

Xu Qing was a little surprised: "There are only two people?"

Chen Wuhai said helplessly: "Actually, the branch of the Chen family has gradually become lonely since a hundred years ago, and it is almost withered now. There are not many people in the branch, but our branch is the strongest."

"About what Wang Geng said, I asked a lot of clansmen, and most of the clansmen in the branches don't know anything about the Immortal Cave."

"I also expanded the scope and found two old people who were still alive in the branches of the Chen family."

"The two grandfathers are both Jindan monks, and their lifespan is running out."

After Chen Wuhai finished speaking, he looked at the two old men, feeling a little embarrassed.

One of the two old people said with emotion: "If Wu Hai hadn't mentioned this matter, I'm afraid this matter would disappear like dust with the end of our lifespan."

Xu Qing politely clasped his fists and said, "It seems that the two seniors already know what we want to ask."

The two old men nodded, and one of them asked, "Is it about the Immortal Cave?"

Xu Qing nodded: "The few of us heard from the old man in Luojia Village, the hometown of the branch of the Chen family, that some of the ancestors of the Chen family once went to the Immortal Cave to get ominous."

"After coming back, he died of an evil spirit. His death was miserable and terrifying. It even involved many members of the Chen family at that time. Is it true?"

"What was the specific situation at that time? Please tell me the two seniors carefully."

After hearing Xu Qing's question, the two old men looked at each other, and one of them said, "Fifth brother, you already remember things back then, and you know a lot, so let's talk about it!"

The other old man nodded, and said in an old voice slowly: "Yes, I remember that incident."

The old man's voice was vicissitudes and gentleness, instantly pulling everyone back to that weird and terrifying time and space.

"I remember it was a summer evening"

boom!
A thunderbolt flashed by.

Instantly brighten up the dark house.

The afterglow of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon with the last ray of skylight.

The night gradually shrouded Chenjiazhuang.

"Chen Wu! Chen Wu!"

A rush of calls sounded from outside the yard. Chen Wu, who was only 12 years old, just came back from playing outside and was dozing off when he was awakened by this familiar call.

"Mom! What's the matter?"

Chen Wu woke up suddenly, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, got up and ran out of the room.

I saw a middle-aged woman in a blue plain robe walking into the yard quickly, with an indescribable panic and anxiety on her face.

"Hurry up! Take Lao Qi in your arms and go with mother!"

As soon as the woman entered the yard, she rushed into the house in a hurry and began to pack her salute clothes.

Although Chen Wu is only 12 years old, he already knows how to read words and expressions, and he has also seen the strange state of his mother.

The woman quickly packed up some simple salutes, pinned a storage bag hidden under the bed to her waist, and urged her son to walk out of the yard with the younger son in his arms.

After locking the door, Chen Wu asked in a panic, "Mother, what happened?"

The woman forced a smile, and said softly to him: "It's okay, it's just that the patriarch called us to move, to Taiwu Immortal City!"

"Because of the sudden notification, I was a little confused."

"Hurry up and take your magic weapon to salute, hug Lao Qi and go to your Ninth Uncle's house to wait for me."

"Stay with Chen Hai from Uncle Jiu's house, don't run around!"

"Did you hear that? Protect your brother."

The woman took a deep breath, knelt down and said to her son.

Chen Wu nodded: "I remember, what about you?"

The woman got up and looked towards the center of the village: "Mother went to find your father, your old man is still there, hurry up, remember what mother said!"

Chen Wu carried his brother on his back, saluted with a big bag, and ran to Uncle Jiu's house at the entrance of the village under the watchful eyes of his mother.

Although I don't know what happened.

But little Chen Wu already felt an unusual atmosphere.

Especially when he arrived at Uncle Jiu's house, he realized that many juniors of the Chen family had gathered here, most of them were below.

There are twenty people in total.

But there is no elder in the clan.

"Five brothers!"

A little boy who looked like he was only eight or nine years old squeezed through the crowd and came to Chen Wu's side, complaining, "Fifth brother! Why did you come here!"

Chen Wu looked confused: "What's the matter? Does anyone know what happened?"

Many teenagers and girls present shook their heads, obviously no one knew what happened.

At this moment, a silent young man who seemed to be almost an adult suddenly said: "Someone from the clan broke into the Immortal Cave and brought back the unknown. Three clan elders have already died in the village."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately exploded.

In Chenjiazhuang, from the elderly to the young children, everyone knows that there is a taboo a hundred miles away from the village, and they must not go there.

That is the fairy cave.

"What? Someone broke into the Immortal Cave? It's over! It's over!"

"If you offend the immortal, will we all die?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"!"

"Chen Zhanfeng! What nonsense are you talking about?! Don't scare them!"

Another teenager who seemed to be about the same age as him immediately stood up and yelled loudly.

But nothing could stop the teenagers from panicking.

"I'm telling the truth! Uncle and grandpa were killed by ghosts in the Immortal Cave! He is a master of golden alchemy!" Chen Zhanfeng seemed to be very scared, but he said loudly, sticking his neck, as if to embolden himself.

"Seventh Elder, too!"

"Otherwise why are we gathered here?!"

"The elders are protecting us!"

"That is."

Chen Wu didn't listen to a word of the subsequent quarrel.

He hugged his younger brother, pulled Chen Hai to sit in the corner of the yard, shrinking his neck, thinking about his parents.

If what Chen Zhanfeng said is correct, aren't the parents very dangerous?
"Okay! Stop arguing!" At this moment, a middle-aged man in a short black robe suddenly opened the courtyard door and walked in.

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Jiu, you're back! What's the matter?"

"Uncle Jiu, why are we gathered here?"

A group of children immediately surrounded the man like sparrows.

Boom!
at this time.

Suddenly, a violent vibration erupted in the center of the village.

All the teenagers in the courtyard stood up one after another, and many teenagers who had already cultivated spiritual energy even jumped onto the wall and looked towards the center of the village.

The expression of the man known as Uncle Nine changed instantly.

Jump on the roof and look towards the center of the village.

Then he jumped into the yard with a gloomy expression and called all the teenagers to surround him.

"Listen to me, those who have not cultivated their spiritual energy should walk in the middle of the team."

"Leaders with Qi Refining Level [-] and above."

"Those below the third floor, those brothers and sisters who have no cultivation level on their backs."

"Listen to my password and run in the direction of Taiwu Immortal City."

"Do not look back!"

"Did you hear that?"

Uncle Jiu sternly said, "I'll say it again!"

"Do not look back!"

"Walk!!"

Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, the younger children panicked and froze in place without responding.

And those older children had already carried their younger brothers and sisters on their backs and ran out.

Before leaving, Uncle Jiu grabbed Chen Hai and Chen Wu, stuffed a black jade slip into Chen Wu's hand, and said to them:
"Hold this, if it turns red, hold your breath immediately, squat down in place and don't move, and don't open your eyes to look!"

"Father!" Chen Hai looked at Uncle Jiu with snot and tears on his face full of fear.

Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Wu and said solemnly, "Take care of your brother and Xiao Hai!"

Chen Wu nodded vigorously, took Chen Hai's hand and walked out.

He is also afraid, but he still has his younger brother and Xiao Hai to take care of.

Just left the courtyard of Uncle Jiu's house.

Before Chen Wu and Chen Hai took a few steps, they saw two figures suddenly falling from the sky.

It landed in front of the two with a bang.

The old Qi on his back was so scared that he burst into tears instantly.

Uncle Nine's figure approached in an instant, grabbed Chen Wu and Chen Hai, and threw them forward forcefully: "Let's go!!"

In the process of soaring into the air, Chen Wu only heard a roar and terrifying screams.

After a few breaths, he fell hard to the ground, ignoring the pain.

Pulling up Chen Hai, he ran out of the village with his younger brother on his back.

There was no turning back.

After walking for an unknown distance, the jade slip given by Uncle Jiu turned red twice.

Chen Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly followed what Uncle Jiu said, hugging his younger brother and Chen Hai and lying on the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, a rainbow flashed from the sky and saved them.

It was the person from Taiwu Immortal City.

From then on, Chen Wu never saw Uncle Jiu or his parents again.

As for the branch of the Chen family, only these juniors are left.

None of the elders survived.

"Not one elder survived?!"

Inside the main hall.

Xu Qing and the others looked at the two old men in shock and looked at each other.

Even Chen Wuhai, hearing these things for the first time, was so shocked that he sat on a chair and couldn't say a word.

Chen Wu nodded: "Yes, I thought so at first."

"but then"

He glanced at Chen Hai at the side: "After more than ten years, we met Uncle Jiu outside the Immortal Cave."

"It's just that he—"

The old man on the side suddenly shook his head and said, "That's not him!"

"That's definitely not my father!"

"What else is that!"

"My father is already dead!"

Everyone in the main hall suddenly felt terrified.

Even the well-informed Yuqingzi couldn't help shrinking her neck for a moment.

Only Xu Qing asked calmly and rationally with a surprised face at this moment: "You said you went to the Immortal Cave again?"

"I saw an old friend outside the cave that I haven't seen in more than ten years?"

Chen Wu nodded, looked at Chen Hai, and sighed: "We...are not reconciled."

"So, after Golden Core, we plan to go back and see what happened back then."

"then."
