There are hills at the lower reaches of the river, winding away, you can vaguely see the wilderness in the distance, everything seems to be the same as when they came before, but Chen Changsheng knows that there must be something wrong with this world.
Just as he looked at the world in silence, Zhuang Huanyu was about to leave.
"It's best not to leave alone."
Chen Changsheng turned around, looked at him and said seriously: "The gray line is not working. It must be something wrong. It's better to find out first, otherwise I'm worried that something will go wrong."
Zhuang Huanyu stopped in his tracks, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Sunday is only a hundred days away, and every moment in it is precious. Do you want me to waste time because of such trivial things?"
Chen Changsheng said: "You have already spent time watching the battle, why should you care about spending more time?"
"Okay." Zhuang Huanyu looked at him and said, "If something goes wrong, of course we have to go to the garden gate to check. We are at least tens of miles away from the garden gate. Who will go?"
As he said before, every moment in the Zhou Garden is extremely precious to the practitioners entering the garden. Going from the riverside where everyone is to the garden gate, going back and forth, even if it costs real energy to rush, It also takes at least half an hour, who would be willing to waste so much time for this kind of thing
Qijian looked a little moved and was about to say something, but Liang Xiaoxiao shook his head beside him. He thought about the important task entrusted by his master, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
The riverside was very quiet, and no one answered. Zhuang Huanyu looked at Chen Changsheng and said with a slight mockery: "Look, no one wants to go. Since it's your idea, why don't you go?"
Chen Changsheng didn't answer his words directly, but looked at the seriously injured Qingxu Guanzhu.
Qi Jian understood what he meant and said, "Let me see."
Then he looked at Liang Xiaoxiao, said something in a low voice, and his attitude was very firm.
"Good. I think you can look for it in the woods, but you'd better not go far."
Chen Changsheng knew very well that when the disciples of these sects entered Zhou Garden, just like the senior sister from the Holy Maiden Peak, most of them carried the task of being a master.
After saying this, he walked down the river, and Zhexiu followed behind him without saying a word.
Going to the turning point below the river and making sure that people by the river cannot see him, Chen Changsheng said to Zhexiu: "I'll go into the forest, you wait here for me."
Zhexiu didn't know what he was going to do, and didn't want to pry into his secret, so he nodded indifferently.
After entering the quiet dense forest and climbing up the mountain for a while, Chen Changsheng stopped, looked at the grassland burning in the sun in the distance, and the hills extending deep into the grassland, and held the dagger at his waist with his right hand. Sword hilt, said in a low voice: "Do me a favor and go to the gate of the garden?"
The black dragon landed on his shoulder at some point, looking at the mountain in the distance, a strange light appeared in the dragon's eyes, he felt a little confused, and always felt that there was something attracting him.
"I have a hunch that the gate of the garden is closed and I can't communicate with the outside world, so it's the same when I go to you, but be careful on the road, so as not to be seen."
Chen Changsheng turned his head, looked at the black dragon on his shoulder, and asked earnestly.
The black dragon withdrew its gaze from looking at the mountain mausoleum, looked at him and squeaked twice.
Chen Changsheng was a little distressed and said: "You don't like what I have. This sword was given to me by my senior brother, so I can't give it to you."
Heilong looked at him indifferently, the meaning was very clear, you dare to ask me to do something without paying any price.
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Well, I promise you a request... You know, I am the dean of the Orthodox Academy now, and I may get a lot of rare treasures in the future."
The black dragon's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the answer.
A cool breeze in the forest suddenly picked up, accompanied by a piercing sound of air tearing, the black dragon turned into a phantom and flew away in an instant.
…
…
Not long after, Chen Changsheng came out of the forest, looked at Zhexiu with a solemn expression and said, "The garden gate is closed."
Zhe Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't say anything, and didn't ask him how he knew the situation of the garden gate in such a short period of time.
Back at the previous river beach, the rest of the people had many doubts about Chen Changsheng's confirmation of the news so quickly. Zhuang Huanyu's indifferent eyebrows showed a slight mockery, and Liang Xiaoxiao asked directly: "You said it was closed, so it was closed?"
Chen Changsheng didn't explain, and said, "If you believe it, believe it."
Without waiting for Liang Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Huanyu to continue asking questions, he squatted down and continued to heal the wounded master of the Qingxu Temple.
Qi Jian said, "I believe it."
Liang Xiaoxiao looked at him and frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled why the junior brother trusted Chen Changsheng, the opponent of the Lishan Sword Sect, so much.
"Second senior brother said that if something happens in the Zhou Garden, Chen Changsheng is the most trustworthy person." Qijian said.
Chen Changsheng was taking the pulse of Qingxu Guanguan, his fingers were slightly stiff.
When leaving Tianshu Mausoleum, Gou Hanshi once asked him to take care of Li Shan's disciples. At that time, he thought it was just a casual talk, but he didn't expect Gou Hanshi to really think so. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his shoulders became heavy After a while, my heart became a lot more relaxed, and that feeling was very comfortable.
Confirming that the injury of the master of Qingxu Temple will not deteriorate too quickly, he stood up, asked Zhexiu to prepare the treatment equipment, and said to Liang Xiaoxiao and the others: "I have confirmed that Zhou Yuan's own rules have not been violated, but have been affected. Due to the interference of some external force, the gate of the garden should reopen within a hundred days, but I don’t know when it will open.”
Liang Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and said, "What power can interfere with a small world?"
Qi Jian thought for a while and said, "Either the power is strong enough, or the person who used this power knows Zhou Yuan very well."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "I think it's the latter."
Ye Xiaolian opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Who could it be?"
Chen Changsheng and the others looked at each other without speaking.
Hundreds of human practitioners entered the Zhou Garden, and those who wanted to do something were of course the enemies of mankind.
The enemy of mankind is the demons.
"Be careful."
Qijian looked at the field below the river, and said worriedly: "We must find a way to notify other people as soon as possible."
They were not sure, or did not expect that there would be demons sneaking into the Zhou Garden, but since the Zhou Garden has changed, the gray line is invalid, in order to prevent human practitioners from being too ruthless when they seize the treasure, causing irreparable losses , then it is necessary to spread the news of the closure of Zhouyuan as soon as possible.
It's just that the Zhou Garden is too vast. Seeing that there are a lot of hundreds of human practitioners scattered in it, it seems very sparse, and since everyone's purpose is to enter the Zhou Garden to hunt for treasure, many people must disappear without a trace. In this case, chance encounters are rare.
The reason why these people met by the river is because they all have ideas about Jianchi—no matter the Orthodox Academy, Lishan Jianzong or Tiandaoyuan, they probably all left some records about the traces of Jianchi, so they just Will go upstream and come here, for this, they know each other well.
As for the pair of masters and apprentices in Qingxu Temple, the pair of teachers and sisters who have been staring at the Saintess Peak since entering the garden, are really sophisticated enough to a certain extent.
The world of Zhou Garden is vast, divided into three large areas by three mountain ranges. The famous grassland that no one has ever dared to go deep into is located in the middle. There are several gardens on the edge of the mountains and hills, that is, the edge of Zhou Garden. Zhou Dufu's residence in the past is the most likely place to hide treasures, so most practitioners will first search for these places when they enter the garden.
Liang Xiaoxiao said to Qijian: "It's too far to go to those places, and it takes too much time."
He didn't finish what he said, Qi Jian understood the meaning, and in fact, everyone present probably understood the meaning as well.
It seems that the Lishan Sword Sect is very convinced about the news about Jianchi, or in other words, the elders of Lishan have analyzed something in the past few decades, so Liang Xiaoxiao and Qijian are of course in a hurry to leave.
In the Mausoleum of Books of Heaven, Chen Changsheng often treated Zhexiu. He was very familiar with the box and Zhexiu. It didn't take long for him to prepare what he needed.
Chen Changsheng didn't pay attention to what the Lishan Sword Sect brothers were thinking, took those things, squatted down on the ground and began to formally treat Qingxu Guanguan's wounds.
The bronze needle was inserted into the body, the blood of the master of Qingxu Temple had stopped, what he had to do at this time was to sew up the wound.
Ye Xiaolian glanced aside, and couldn't help turning pale.
Even the hand of the young Taoist priest from Qingxuguan trembling while supporting his master.
As a cultivator, whether it's a discussion in the sect or a battle in the world, of course you have seen blood, but it is rare to see a picture of a metal needle piercing through the flesh of a human being.
After sewing up the sword wound on the chest of Guanzhu Qingxu, and then bandaging it with a clean piece of cloth, Chen Changsheng did not end his treatment, but started to clear his chest and abdomen with copper needles, which was injured by Liang Xiaoxiao's sword intent. the meridian.
Looking at this scene, everyone's expressions were slightly different, especially that Senior Sister Tong of the Holy Maiden Peak.
The Nanxi Zhai of the Holy Maiden Peak and the Thirteen Divisions of the Qing Dynasty in Kyoto are the sects that are best at healing in the practice world. For thousands of years, in the tragic war between humans and demons, women in white sacrificial clothes can always be seen. They played an extremely important role in this war.
She did not expect to see such exquisite medical skills in the Zhou Garden today, and Chen Changsheng obviously did not practice the holy light technique of the state religion.
The riverside was quiet, only the gurgling sound of running water and the occasional muffled sound of Guanzhu Qingxu.
Everyone looked at Chen Changsheng, not daring to disturb him.
Zhuang Huanyu didn't like this kind of scene, raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded to Liang Xiaoxiao, and walked upstream into the woods.
Chen Changsheng saw this scene from the corner of his eye and did not try to dissuade him again.
Not long after, he confirmed that the injury of the master of Qingxu Temple should be fine, stood up, looked at Qijian and said, "I'm leaving too. I have to find a way to find someone else, just like As you worry, they don't necessarily know about the closure of Zhou Garden, once a dispute arises, they will definitely not leave a way out, they are extremely ruthless, and there will be problems, and people may die."
Liang Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly, he felt that what he said was aimed at himself, but he didn't understand that Chen Changsheng was just talking about the facts.
Qi Jian was a little embarrassed and said, "We also have reasons for leaving."
"Understood." Chen Changsheng looked at the pair of teachers and sisters on the Saintess Peak, and said, "Can I trouble you to take care of them here for a while? I should be able to come back before midnight."
Senior Sister Tong was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect him to make such a request, she agreed after thinking about it.
She was attacked by surprise before, but now she has to take care of the other party. If she is not a disciple of Shengnvfeng, it is really unacceptable.
Chen Changsheng smiled gratefully, and he and Zhe Xiu walked down the stream again.
The sun is shining brightly, and the eerie meaning in the forest has been dispelled a lot.
…
…
In the southeast of Zhou Garden, there is a garden built along the mountain. According to rumors, this garden was built after Zhou Dufu was middle-aged, and he liked to be quiet but happy with the singing of birds.
Panshan Linyu is not the garden at the entrance of Zhou Garden, but it is the closest to the garden gate.
The garden at the gate of the garden has been searched countless times because every practitioner who enters the garden will first pass there, so it is impossible for the practitioners who came later to find any leaks, so this year's practitioners entered the garden. , Many people first came to Panshan Forest Language.
The birds singing in the mountains are like music, the water in the garden is silent, the corridors are flying, the walls are painted and the windows are painted. According to the iron law defined by human practice, except for the magic tools and inheritance, the rest of the original furnishings in the Zhou Garden are not allowed to be tampered with, so even if After hundreds of years, this place still retains the seven-point tranquility and nine-point extravagance of that year.
It's just that in a certain room in the depths of this garden, there is only fear and uneasiness at this moment, and the tranquility and nobility have long been washed away by the smell of blood.
More than ten practitioners surrounded the field, their faces very ugly.
A cultivator fell to the ground, his abdomen was pierced by a sword, and a cut about five fingers wide was cut. He covered it with his left hand, but he couldn't stop the blood from overflowing, and he could even see his intestines being cut Squeezed out, he was already dying, and the gray wire held by his right hand had already burned out, leaving only some ash.
Another practitioner turned pale, and kept saying: "I didn't do it on purpose, I thought that the move of Qitong would at most hurt him, but how could he have thought that his true energy was stagnant at that moment, and the sword hadn't been raised. I really didn't do it on purpose, and... the gray wire is useless if it is burned!"
The injured cultivator had his abdomen pierced, the bleeding stopped, and he was about to die. The faces of the practitioners around became more and more ugly. What disturbed them most was why the gray line guide lost its effect? Could it be that people like myself can only watch this person die
At this moment, several women in white sacrificial attire came to Panshan Linyu, and shouts of surprise and greetings sounded in the garden.
There was a woman who didn't enter the house. She stood on the covered bridge, looking at the sun that was gradually falling towards the grassland in the distance, silent, and seemed to find something.
