The awe-inspiring sword light illuminated Rong Ran's pale face.
The gazes of all Tianzong disciples were projected over.
Rong Ran raised her eyes slightly, and saw Ye Yunlan's indifferent gaze, as if she was looking at an indifferent person, as if the friendship between them had never existed.
He remembered that in the cave before, he was covered in countless poisonous snakes, drowning in the water, struggling to ask the other party for help, only to see the other party hugging his apprentice, standing on the side with the same indifferent eyes ? as he sank to the bottom.
The feeling of being bitten by a poisonous snake was extremely painful, but what was even more painful was Ye Yunlan's disregard and betrayal of him over the past few years.
His thin lips were curved, and there was no smile in his eyes.
"What did the apprentice ask me to do? You should know that, because your apprentice asked the apprentice to go to the front of the killing formation alone to explore the way. The apprentice was seriously injured and has not recovered. Now the senior apprentice is unable to deal with this stall, isn't it? Want to find a place to heal your wounds quietly? Can you?"
The disciples were in an uproar.
They all know that Rong Ran and Ye Yunlan and Shen Shu fell into the trap of the killing formation together when they were exploring the road ahead of the mountain road. But when I met Rong Ran before, Rong Ran was alone, spitting out blood, clearly suffering from serious injuries. When asked where the other two were, Rong Ran said nothing. • Have depression. After that, the disciples of the sect were slaughtered, and now Ye Yunlan's master and apprentice appeared here, and they seemed to be unscathed.
Since Shen Shu would use such a vicious hand on his senior brother who fell into the killing formation, he would definitely regard the lives of his disciples as a matter of course. He would kill people for robbing treasures, which is even more natural!
Gong Ze, who was sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment, immediately pointed at Shen Shu and scolded: "Senior Brother Rong has already suffered this way, Senior Brother Cheng Xu, why waste time with this kind of sect? scum?"
Cheng Xu frowned and looked at Ye Yunlan, "Junior Brother Ye, what Junior Brother Rong just said is true?"
Ye Yunlan did not answer silently.
Cheng Xu's complexion changed slightly, "Junior brother is confused! Even if Shen Shu is your only direct disciple, you shouldn't condone his evil deeds. As a teacher, you should set an example by yourself. If your disciple is not tame, you should be strict. Words and disciplines. Evil starts from small things, small things are not disciplined, what about big things? Now that he has made such a big mistake, he should be punished and pondered. ."
Ye Yunlan said indifferently: "There are so many paths in the world, which one can be called the right path? I am a master, and I have only taught my apprentices that they are worthy of their true heart, so they are the right path."
He was dressed in white, his face was cold, and when he looked at someone with his long eyes, it was like a cold sword unsheathed.
Seeing his appearance, Cheng Xu couldn't speak for a while.
"Look at Rong Ran, he can't leave." Ye Yunlan said, "Go to the autopsy."
Rong Ran: "Junior brother, are you doubting me?" He laughed at himself, "I didn't expect you to hate me like this. If you want to confuse right and wrong, you will also teach me to convict me. My suicide formation was abandoned by you. After escaping by chance, I met Brother Cheng Xu and his disciples. After that, they went all the way to heal their wounds. Twelve fellow students? When they were killed by your apprentice, they never left? Same door??"
Cheng Xu replied: "I can testify about this. Even if the murderer is not Shen Shu, Junior Brother Rong is not likely to be the murderer."
Ye Yunlan was silent for a moment, and did not immediately refute the words of the two.
Instead, connect all the possibilities in the mind to one place, from the past life to the present, to deduce where and why this farce started.
He thought of a treasure
But not sure yet.
So he walked over to Gong Ze, "Take a photo of the stone and show it to me."
Gong Ze clung to the shadow stone with both hands, his face full of unwillingness, "No. Give it. What if you deliberately destroy the shadow stone? If the evidence is gone, you can deny it for your apprentice, right? already?"
Standing beside Ye Yunlan, Shen Shu glanced at Gong Ze with caring and foolish eyes.
"If Shizun really destroys the shadow stone in front of everyone's eyes, wouldn't it be a self-inflicted move? Even this? Don't you understand? Are you a stupid donkey?"
Gong Ze's face turned red and white, and he said angrily, "Shen Shu, I'm going to kill you!"
Shen Shu: "If it's a stupid donkey, it's only a matter of going back and forth. You can't even tell the difference between life and death."
Gong Ze raised the sword in his hand tremblingly, "You—" Cheng Xu quickly stepped forward and separated the two, but said helplessly: "Who is the murderer has not yet been determined, not now? Right? When the same sect is fighting against each other. Brother Gong Ze, keep taking the image stone and keep it for me for now. In any case, the senior brother will definitely pay back all the fellow students who died in vain. "Justice."
Gong Ze glared at Shen Shu, and finally handed the photo stone to Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu injected spiritual power, and the image on the image stone began to play again.
The beginning of the picture is a chaotic scene, there are roars, screams and footsteps, the picture recorded by the photo stone is also very shaky, and the end of the picture is inclined upwards, Shen Shu is holding the bloody long. Jian, standing among the corpses on the ground?, looked towards the disciple holding the photo stone, and a frantic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Yunlan: "Are you the disciple who opened the photo-taking stone record?"
Gong Ze: "It's me."
"And after that?"
Gong Ze's face was full of doubts, "After what?"
"The record after the Photo Stone. After he killed everyone, why didn't he kill the two of you?" Ye Yunlan asked.
Gong Ze reacted, his face flushed, "Jiang Feiyu and I escaped, only we escaped! How could there be any evidence of mood records when we escaped?"
Ye Yunlan: "Where did you escape to?"
Gong Ze: "Who knows? When will that murderer catch up? Should we panic? Choose a path, escape all the way, escape all the way, and escape to..." He paused, showing a little confused look, "Yes, we escaped." Arrived at the exit of the front hall of Fuyou Palace, and then joined Senior Brother Cheng Xu and the others."
"It's the other way around." Ye Yunlan said, "You were chased by him to the apse, and you were killed before you even got to the exit. He used the bell to wake you up, erased some of your memories, and let you go to the front hall again. Reconcile with other colleagues."
Gong Ze suddenly burst out laughing, "You said my memory is fake? Is the photo stone also fake? It's fake, so what you said is true? It's ridiculous!"
He staggered to his feet, opened his arms, and said to the disciples behind him, "Everyone, do you believe in such a funny joke?"
"It's really absurd..."
"The treasure of the Great Emperor Nether? It has never been seen before, and there are many incomplete records in the history books. How can he explain the function of the summoning bell so clearly, isn't it? It's made up."
"I feel the same way..."
While whispering, many people set their sights on Ye Yunlan.
Ye Yunlan didn't see any waves, but said to Gong Ze, "After three days, you will disappear."
"Anyone who has been used to summon the soul of the secluded bell will surely dissipate the soul after three days, and will not enter the reincarnation."
In the previous life, the few people who stood up and said that they had witnessed him with their own eyes also died, either on the mountain road when they descended the mountain, or in other traps in the secret realm. In the Nether Secret Realm? The casualties were heavy, and no one felt the difference. And he was convicted by everyone, and he no longer had the opportunity to confront and explain
Gong Ze still wanted to laugh, but looking at Ye Yunlan's cold eyes, he couldn't seem to laugh.
Do not enter reincarnation.
This is the most severe end for every practitioner. Death can still be reincarnated and rebuilt. If you become a true immortal one day, you will be able to recall all the memories in reincarnation, but if the soul dissipates and does not enter reincarnation, it will really turn into dust in the world, and never again No? Exist.
Gong Ze was a little scared.
He could only keep telling himself that everything was fake and that Ye Yunlan fabricated it to cover up his apprentice's killings.
How could he possibly be dead
He still has a lot of longevity, and his cultivation path is still very long. He has a fairy he likes that he wants to pursue. The newly built cave dwelling has not yet had time to live in, so how could he be dead
impossible.
Absolutely not possible.
"Play the shadow stone again." Ye Yunlan said.
Cheng Xu frowned: "I don't think we need to waste time here. If what the younger brother said is true, let's go directly to the autopsy, right?"
Ye Yunlan: "Play it again."
Cheng Xu: "...Okay."
The image on the Photo Stone was played again, and when the screen turned to Shen Shu facing the direction of the Photo Stone, Ye Yunlan said: "Stop!"
Cheng Xu's control screen paused.
The photo stone can not only record the picture, but also record the breath of the person in the picture at that time. Although the breath of Shen Shu is too manic and violent, it is no different from the breath of Shen Shu in reality.
But what Ye Yunlan perceives is not Shen Shu's breath, but a treasure.
Treasure?'s breath is very secretive, hidden under the aura of manic riot, it is extremely difficult to distinguish and detect.
It's just that in his previous life, he has come into contact with this treasure? Many times, he is already very familiar with it.
And with his memory, once he touches it, he won't forget it.
"Dark fragrance and sparse shadow?" Ye Yunlan whispered.
His voice was not loud, but the cultivators present were all smart and discerning, and they all heard what he said, and a few of them thought of something and changed their faces.
Cheng Xu was a little unsure and said, "Junior Brother Ye, you are talking about the magic weapon that ranks twelfth in the weapon map in the Heavenly Secret Ranking, 'Dark Fragrance Sparse Shadow'?"
Ye Yunlan: "That's right."
Cheng Xu: "The origin of this magic weapon is mysterious and its power is unknown. What is the purpose of junior brother suddenly mentioning its name?"
Ye Yunlan said: "This device can make the holder disguise the appearance and breath of others, and even separate a shadow clone to cooperate with it and hide."
Cheng Xu quickly figured out the connection, and said: "Junior brother thinks that the person who killed many disciples in the photo stone is not Shen Shu, but just a disguise of a person with a magical weapon and a dark fragrance. ?"
Ye Yunlan: "That's right."
This sounds as absurd and ridiculous as the assumption that you just called You Ling.
Most people think so.
There are only two exceptions.
Rong Ran stood alone in the shadows, her fingers were clenched tightly in her sleeves, her thin lips were pale.
Chen Xianyu hid in the crowd and peeked at the tall figure standing opposite the crowd.
He was surprised.
Because "Dark Fragrance Shuying" is a magic weapon in the Chen family's treasure house. Although it is ranked in the weapon spectrum, its specific function has never been passed down. Only the family cronies and the dark guards loyal to the family are qualified. know.
What's more, Ye Yunlan only judged that the person who attacked and killed the fellow was wearing a "dark fragrance and sparse shadow" just through the little bit left in the photo stone.
Surprised and happy at the same time.
He has always felt that beauty should be appreciated from a distance, especially a beauty as rare in the world as Ye Yunlan, who should be cared for and favored, and should not be slandered and spoiled by others.
Although the treasure is revealed, it may disrupt the brother's plan...
wrong.
The elder brother's prediction is like a god, and Ye Yunlan can detect the existence of "dark fragrance and sparse shadow", maybe it has already been in the elder brother's calculation.
That being the case, what is the reason why he wants him to send this treasure
"Since Junior Brother Ye is sure that the sneak attackers used 'Dark Fragrance Shuying', how can you prove it?"
Cheng Xu's voice sounded again.
Ye Yunlan closed his eyes.
After he and Chen Weiyuan became a Taoist partner, Chen Weiyuan gave him the first magic weapon, the "Dark Fragrance Shuying".
…
The summer is warm and the lotus pond blooms
He sat on the railing of the pond and watched the koi swimming in the lake.
The Chen family has strict clan rules, and there are people guarding the courtyards. He can go to not many places on weekdays.
What's more, apart from Chen Weiyuan, many people in the Chen clan had a lot of criticism for him.
Especially at that time, several elders of the Chen clan even said bluntly in front of him, that he is ugly, has no talents, can't get on the stage, don't go out, it's shameful.
He quietly watched the koi frolic.
Only occasionally, some envy their liveliness.
There were light footsteps behind him, and someone lowered his body to surround him and asked with concern.
"Yunlan, why are you sitting here alone again?"
He said: "Just to kill time."
The person behind him sighed, "It's because my husband is too busy on weekdays... When my husband finishes dealing with the latest affairs, I will take you to the cloud platform to enjoy the scenery, okay?"
He said softly: "Okay."
The people behind him liked his cuteness very much, stroked his hair, and said: "Yunlan, do you remember that today is the third year that I have met you, and it is also the first year that I have formed a bond with you. ."
"Remember."
The man behind him laughed softly. "I want to give you a present?"
He saw a vest.
That robe shone brightly in the sun and was extremely beautiful.
So he took it and put it on under Chen Weiyuan's gentle gaze.
"It? It has a very pleasant name—" Chen Weiyuan smiled and said, "'Dark Fragrance Shuying'."
…
Floating Palace.
Ye Yunlan opened his eyes, his face was as indifferent as snow on the mountain.
He said: "This thing can hide its appearance and aura, and it can be incarnated outside the body, but it has a fatal flaw."
"—No? Look in the mirror."
"Once you look in the mirror, your clone will disappear, and your true face will be revealed in the mirror."
For a long time.
There is no mirror in Chen Weiyuan's study.
He was often told to wear new clothes, sit beside him, and stare at him from time to time.
Cheng Xu originally thought that meeting was such a difficult method, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. He clapped his hands and said, "In this way, it will be easy to distinguish. But if you have a dark fragrance and sparse shadows, you don't use it to change your face. It is also true that it is reflected in the middle, so what should I do?"
Ye Yunlan: "No? How about it."
Cheng Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he was thinking.
It took a lot of effort to look in the mirror, and even if the real culprit could not be found, there would be no loss to them.
And since Ye Yunlan could say such a thing, he wanted to come to his heart.
So Cheng Xu took out a mirror that was very large, about a person's height, from the storage ring, placed it in front of him, and said to the disciples behind him.
"In this case, I would like to ask you all to verify your true body one by one before coming to this mirror to see if there are people who are carrying strange treasures and fish in troubled waters."
Cheng Xu had a high prestige among his disciples. Although many people thought it was absurd, they could only nod their heads and look in the mirror one by one.
After a disciple took a look in front of the mirror, he asked curiously, "Senior Brother Cheng, why do you carry a mirror with you? Could it be that this is your newly refined magic weapon?"
Cheng Xu coughed lightly and said: "When you practice outside, you should also dress properly and repair your appearance to show my Tianzong disciple's bearing."
The disciple suddenly realized, respectfully said: "So that's the case. Brother's act of bringing a mirror, it's time for me to study!"
Cheng Xu coughed a few times and waved his hand, "Hurry up, next one."
The flow of people surged past, and soon only Rong Ran in the corner was left.
Cheng Xu has been paying attention to Rong Ran's situation. At this time, he raised his eyebrows and called out, "Junior Brother Rong, why not come and have a try?"
Rong Ran's expression was stiff, and his heart was filled with hatred.
When Chen Weiyuan handed the treasure to him, he didn't tell him about the defects of the treasure at all. If he had known this earlier, he would have set up a more subtle layout, why is he now forced into such a situation where he cannot advance or retreat.
The wound on his face has not yet healed due to Shen Shu's sword qi. After being poisoned by snake venom, his entire body became even more swollen and bruised. It was terrifying. If this appearance was forced to be exposed in front of so many disciples - he would rather die!
Following Cheng Xu's shouting, Rong Ran became the center of attention again. He gritted his teeth secretly, just as he was trying to say something, he suddenly heard a scream.
"Ghost!"
Then there was the sound of the mirror smashing to the ground.
A female disciple who was close to him looked at him in horror and kept backing away. Just by looking at her eyes, Rong Ran knew what was going on—this woman took a mirror and looked at him privately!
The quick-witted disciple fished out Cheng Xu's clothes and mirror, and stood in front of Rong Ran.
In the mirror, a completely different appearance was reflected—the bruised and swollen limbs, and the bloody half of the face, which was indeed no different from a ghost.
"No?—" Rong Ran screamed, her soft and delicate face distorted outside the mirror, "No? Look?!"
With a clatter, the front mirror was shattered by him.
Cheng Xu felt very distressed about his mirror, but made a decisive decision: "Stop him!"
A group of disciples rushed up. Seeing that the situation was not right, Rong Ran turned around and ran away. He is a cultivator of Nascent Soul, and he has a magical weapon. His strength is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators. He walks among the crowds, and no one can do anything for a while.
In front of him, he was about to break out of the siege and run away, Ye Yunlan was about to shoot, but the back of his hand was held by Shen Shu.
Shen Shu: "No? I have to trouble Master to take action. He can't escape."
The unnoticeable shadow was spreading, and it had quietly arrived at Rong Ran's feet. At the moment when he was about to escape from the encirclement and make a leap of luck, he silently blocked it.
With a bang, Rong Ran's body was unbalanced, and he fell on the ground with his face on the ground, raising a burst of dust.
The people who were chasing suddenly fell into silence.
A few couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Cheng Xu coughed lightly, and only a few disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall rushed out and tied Rong Ran with a trapped magic rope. Cheng Xu walked up, looked at the disgraced Rong Ran, and sighed, "Junior Brother Rong, can you explain why you have a dark fragrance on your body?"
Rong Ran turned her head away, her body trembling.
He never imagined that he would have such an embarrassing day.
"I was in the killing formation? I was injured, and I just covered the wound with a magic weapon. What's wrong."
Is this dead? Accept the account.
Cheng Xu said?: "Is Calling You Ling on you?"
Rong Ran showed a hint of self-deprecating sadness, "Senior Brother Cheng, Junior Brother Ye? After a few words, will you doubt me?"
Although his face was covered with ashes, he was still very soft and moving.
No matter what he did, ordinary people would have a little pity.
It's just that Cheng Xu looked at him, but remembered Ye Yunlan's awe-inspiring glance just now, and the fiery tear at the end of his eye.
He sighed and didn't respond to Rong Ran's words.
Gong Ze and Jiang Feiyu were already panicked when they saw this change. Gong Ze stood up from the ground, looked at Rong Ran who was described as embarrassed, and looked at him with sympathy from all around, and suddenly shouted, "I don't believe it!"
He pointed at Ye Yunlan, "He made it up, he knew that Senior Brother Rong had a dark fragrance on his body, so he deliberately set up a situation to frame it, the truth was mixed, did you easily believe his lies! Look at me? Junior Brother Jiang is a living person, a living person, with a soul and body, how can it be? It's a summoned soul!"
This time, however, he couldn't wait for someone to respond to his words.
The silence was terrifying, Gong Ze was restless, and suddenly heard a voice as cold as a spring.
"Those who are called ghosts must have complete physical corpses as a guide. If you burn your corpses, all spells will be ineffective."
Gong Ze stared at Ye Yunlan with red eyes, "You are talking nonsense! I don't believe it!"
Shen Shu folded his arms and stood, "Master never lies, do you believe it or not."
Gong Ze: "You!"
Cheng Xu sighed again.
He always seems to be sighing today.
He cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, since that's the case, let's go to the autopsy."
A group of people hurriedly walked through the palace aisle, and soon, they went to the hidden corner of the apse.
In the shadow of the corner are two corpses with blood and flesh, dressed in the costumes of Tianzong disciples, and one corpse wears a sapphire around the waist.
Cheng Xu raised his hand, told everyone to stop, and went up to check by himself.
"There are sixteen scars on the corpse on the left, and two on the corpse on the right, one on the chest and one on the waist. It's exactly the same as what Junior Brother Ye said earlier," Gong Ze said angrily: "Remember. It's so clear, maybe it's because he found two corpses in advance and hid them here, so he's going to frame them? What is it called Spiritualism, I don't believe a word!"
Cheng Xu sighed, and a red flame ignited in his palm.
Jiang Feiyu, who had been silent all the time, wanted to go up to stop it, but he was a step behind.
Flames have been thrown over the two bodies.
What Cheng Xu practiced was the fire technique, and the refining Nanming Lihuo was able to refine gold and stone in an instant, not to mention the fleshly bodies of two Jindan stage disciples.
As the corpse was engulfed by Mars, the bodies of Gong Ze and the others, which were indistinguishable from the living, slowly began to become transparent.
They touched their body in a panic, and wanted to grab the hand of the disciple next to them, but they could only pass through the disciple next to them, and all their anger suddenly turned into a daze.
"We...really dead?"
Numerous peers watched them silently.
No one answered their questions.
Gong Ze's illusory face suddenly distorted, and before it was on the verge of dissipating, he suddenly rushed towards Rong Ran.
Ghost's fingers grabbed Rong Ran's cheek, "It's you! It's you who killed us! Rong Ran, I curse you to go to hell, won't you die?" Gong Ze's twisted look and the palm of his hand were filled with The vision, the cheek seems to be able to feel a sharp pain.
Rong Ran's pupils contracted and she wanted to struggle, but was firmly held down by the disciples on both sides.
Gong Ze put his palm through it, but the half of his body had disappeared, and he was powerless to do harm to the living.
However, there was a strong resentment left behind, which turned into a mass of black air, which suddenly merged into the wound on Rong Rong's cheek.
"Ah—" The wound was already raging with sword qi, but now it was eroded by resentment, causing extreme pain, Rong Ran's face twisted, and his body twitched in pain, but no one sympathized with him at the moment.
Rong Ran's vision is blurred.
He wanted to ask for help, he wanted to continue to argue, and he wanted someone to stand up and say a word for him. He used all his methods in the sect to build up his prestige. He didn't believe that no one would save him.
It's just that no one came forward.
not a single one.
Cheng Xu: "Since the matter is clear, then let Junior Brother Rong... Rong Ran be taken into custody and sent back to the sect for trial."
…
Wanbei Forest.
Ye Yunlan and Shen Shu had already descended the mountain ahead of schedule. They are not interested in the remaining treasures in the Netherworld, and they are too lazy to fight.
Suddenly, a young voice came from behind.
"Junior Brother Ye, please wait!"
When he turned around, he saw a handsome young man in gray robe hurried over.
Shen Shu folded his arms and looked? He, squinting slightly, recognized who this person was, "Are you the rude person who hid in the bamboo forest and stole the painting of the master?"
Chen Xianyu's face turned red, and he sincerely apologized: "I was rude about what happened back then."
Shen Shu: "Why are you looking for Master?"
Chen Xianyu touched his head with a wry smile and said, "Someone wants me to convey it on his behalf."
He said to Ye Yunlan again: "Junior Brother Ye, I told you my name before, but you have forgotten it after thinking about it for so long."
Saying that, he bowed and performed a very strange ancient ceremony.
Ye Yunlan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"My surname is Chen. Tianji doesn't say anything, and the thing is Chen Yu's Chen. Chen Xianyu."
- The secret is not a word, and the thing is Chen Yu.
Chen family.
Ye Yunlan's expression turned cold.
He remembered the dark fragrance and shadow that Rong Ran used.
In this life, Rong Ran's conspiracy was exposed, let's not mention it. If he was framed and kicked out of the sect in his previous life, if it was also Rong Ran's actions, it means that Chen Weiyuan has been in touch with him since then, and even participated in that. In a design
He saved himself before the mountain gate, and he had already planned it.
Ye Yunlan: "Why did he call you here?"
Chen Xianyu glanced at Shen Shu hesitantly, "Can you ask your apprentice to retreat a little?"
Ye Yunlan: "Speak directly here."
Chen Xianyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Brother asked me to send a message..."
"He said, can the lady bear the pain of the Seven Love Needles?"
