The sky is getting brighter, and the sun rises slowly from the east again, shining on the world.

Li Yinchen felt as if he had had a very long dream, in which he had died in an accident.

There were sparse chirping of birds in his ears, and he seemed to be covered with a soft quilt. He slowly opened his eyes, sorted out his vague memories, and then looked around.

here it is...?

It looks a bit strange, but it seems to be a place where humans gather. It is relatively quiet everywhere, with only the occasional voice coming from a distance.

He slowly sat up and looked at his hands and body. They had been bandaged and the pain was no longer so painful. No wonder he could sleep well, but who saved him? Could it be that what happened last night

Is it really not a dream? But such a scene is too dreamy and unbelievable.

He just sat quietly on the bed. After a long time, the door creaked and a little girl walked in and saw him sitting up.

"Ah, you're awake." This girl has cyan hair and snow-white skin. She looks like a child of the Zhen clan.

"Yes, please tell me where this is..." Li Yinchen looked at the girl.

"This is the deep valley in the mountains at dusk. I don't know the exact name. Anyway, people around me say so." The girl pressed her chin with her finger and answered thoughtfully.

"Then why should I..." Li Yinchen wanted to continue to understand the situation, but this girl seemed to know what he was going to ask, so she answered first.

"I know that you were rescued by Master Jialan last night, along with a man and a woman. They are now lying next door."

"After that, Lord Jialan used herbs and spells to treat you, and then asked me and others to take care of you. That's it."

Have you already arrived near the shrine? Li Yinchen thought to himself, and then he wanted to try to get out of bed and go out for a look.

"Hey, be careful, the injury hasn't healed yet." The girl hurried over, ready to dissuade Li Yinchen.

"It's okay. I'm used to this kind of injury. Thank you for taking care of me. My name is Li Yinchen." He refused the girl's support and stood up by holding on to the wall.

Seeing that this man did have some ability to move, the little girl put her mind down.

"My name is Caiwei. Currently, I am helping my mother and the shrine with some things." The little girl also introduced herself, and then saw Li Yinchen slowly walking out.

"It's better for you to slow down." Caiwei followed slowly and walked out of the house with Li Yinchen.

When Li Yinchen stepped out of this small courtyard on the hillside, the vast and lively valley scene came into view. There were people walking everywhere, everyone was bustling with people, but there were few quarrels. They were trading various things.

They were still sharing their experiences and practicing martial arts, etc., sitting and preparing for the subsequent battle.

Seeing this, Li Yinchen felt surprised. This was different from the silent valley he had seen a long time ago, so he stared carefully on the hillside.

————

There was silence inside the shrine.

Grandma Grotto sat on her knees in the main hall, listening to Lorraine Hill slowly describing what she learned at Zhaoye Palace yesterday.

"I didn't expect that so many things happened, and Yu Jian also died there..." Granny Geluo's words seemed to contain sadness and sigh.

"Mother-in-law, do you know the real person Jade Sword?"

"We know each other, we can be regarded as familiar old friends." Grandma Grotto sighed, and then said to Lorraine Hill.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, leave the rest to me. Speaking of which, your experience is about to end, and this place is no longer suitable for staying for a long time." Although Lorraine Hill will be a powerful help if he stays.

, but considering that the situation will only become more and more dangerous in the future, it would be a pity and regret if this important disciple of the Xiangyu Sect died here.

"Although the Xiangyu Sect and Zhaoye Palace were the same family hundreds of years ago, they are not so familiar with each other now. If you go to Zhaoye Palace for rescue, you may not be able to see the leader of the sect right away." Granny Ge Luo said slowly.

Said.

"So it's better to go back to the Xiangyu Sect first. It's safer and safer." She wanted the girl to leave this dangerous place.

"But..." Just as Lorraine Hill was about to defend, a rush of footsteps came from the outside world, and then he pushed open the curtain in front of the shrine and stepped in.

"Wait a minute, this lady." Caiwei's anxious voice came from behind.

Lorraine Hill turned around and saw a woman who was still injured walking in. She was wearing a cyan coat and bright yellow clothes underneath.

"Excuse me, are you the shrine maiden of this shrine?" The woman looked at Granny Grotto, who was wearing black clothes in the middle.

"That's right, I am. Who is this girl?" Granny Geluo could see that this woman was not from the shady clan in the mountains.

"I am from Luojing, and under the secret order of Jinzhanxuanhua Mansion, I came to investigate the situation in the Ximu Mountains."

The woman approached slowly, then stopped in the main hall, explaining her origins, but when she looked at Granny Groove carefully, she frowned slightly.

"Are you really the presiding witch in this shrine?" she asked again.

"Indeed." Grandma Grotto nodded again.

"You're so rude." Caiwei ran in panting from behind. She was a little angry when she heard this woman asking.

"Lord Geluo has been serving as a witch in the shrine, appeasing and mediating the dragon veins for more than 60 years. No one in these mountains knows the name of the witch." Caiwei explained.

"Is that so? But...you are not from a clan of monsters." The woman looked at Granny Gro's face, and finally said these words slowly, as if there was confusion and doubt in her voice.

Most of the filthy dragon veins in the Ximu Mountains are still disordered and uncontrolled, and it is extremely difficult to reconcile them. Over time, oneself will be corroded by the magic power of the Nine Netherworlds. It is a bad profession for anyone to think about. Generally speaking, there are demon clans

It's okay to take the responsibility within oneself, but Granny Grotto is not from a clan of evil spirits, so why should she take charge of this matter here and waste her years.

"Ah, this..." Hearing such words, Caiwei turned her head in surprise and looked at Granny Ge Luo. It seemed that she had never thought about this problem before. She subconsciously believed that Granny Ge Luo was also a murderer.

A clan.

"People have their own ideas and choices, and this is nothing unusual." Granny Grotto still waved her head calmly.

"Did you come here from Luojing for any specific matters? Maybe I can provide some help." Grandma Ge Luo asked again about the purpose of this woman's visit.

The woman also knew that now was not the time to dwell on such things, so she began to tell the story. "This is what happened..."

Then she talked about her origins, and it turned out that she came from the Marigold Hanging Flower House of the Plantagenet Dynasty. The predecessor of this organization was the pro-army around the founding monarch of the Plantagenet Dynasty, and was mainly responsible for intelligence-related matters. After the establishment of the dynasty,

It became the supervisory agency of the dynasty.

I came here this time because I received a secret report. It was said that the governor of Xiyouzhou deliberately concealed the chaos under his rule and was suspected of deceiving the emperor. Unexpectedly, no real phenomena and evidence were found in Xiyouzhou. After arriving here,

I heard that there were some strange changes in the Ximu Mountains nearby. I guess I hit the passenger car by mistake.

"That's it." Grandma Grotto nodded.

"Then what are your plans for this girl? Now you must have some understanding of the crisis in the Ximu Mountains."

The woman pondered for a while about this.

"Although I came prepared this time and didn't expect it to be such a big event, as a member of Jinzhanxuanhua Mansion, it's not over the line for me to participate." She recalled what she saw in the mansion that year.

History, slowly narrated.

"After the defeat of the country, Lord Chifeng brought all the immortals to deal with the trouble, but the Dragon Vein Cave Heaven was in chaos and could not be cured. Later, he recruited disciples from the three sects of the 'Xianyu Sect', 'Taiyin Palace' and 'Xuanhua Mansion' to assist

deal with."

"Among them, the 'Taiyin Palace' has placed a seal under the Nine Netherworld, coinciding with the lunar moon in the night sky to contain and seal those broken caves."

"The 'Xuanhua Mansion' sent out witches to offer sacrifices and cut off the dragon veins connected to the surrounding states and counties to prevent the spread of the underworld."

"The 'Xianyu Sect' left disciples of the Jiuyou Path to patrol the mountains to prevent outsiders from destroying the seal and to suppress the few demons that escaped."

"It's a pity that more than 300 years ago, Jiyue Taiyin Palace participated in the struggle to seize the direct descendants. Because of the failure of the struggle, its faction was disbanded and its disciples were scattered. The classics among them were also taken into the custody of Xuanhua Mansion. The Xiangyu sect remained at that time.

My disciples also formed their own sect many years ago and became Ningzi Zhaoye Palace."

"Although we don't see the disciples of Zhaoye Palace now, our Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion's intervention in this matter is part of our mission and does not count as overstepping."

After listening to his explanation, Lorraine Hill finally spoke.

"It's just that the scene in Zhaoye Palace now is probably not as promised back then..." She also told what she saw in the residence yesterday.

After hearing this, the woman was also very surprised. She did not expect that such a fierce internal fight would occur within the large sect.

"I'm afraid we can't solve this matter in a short time." She thought about the situation quickly.

"Now that Xiyouzhou is the closest, we can go there first to ask for help. As for Zhaoye Palace Master, it will probably take more than half a month to get there, and it will probably be a month before we get back. It's really too late," she said to herself.

Thoughts, of course this is estimated based on her own speed.

Lorraine Hill looked at the woman and asked carefully: "Do you have any method to get the state shepherd to send troops?"

"This shouldn't be a big problem." She nodded confidently and proudly. As a supervising official in the Xuanhua Mansion, no official in Xuanhua Mansion would be afraid of this.

"Okay." Although Lorraine Hill felt that the rumored state pastor was not an easy person to deal with, it was not easy to deliberately undermine him at this moment.

Seeing the two people in the hall analyzing, Granny Geluo nodded slightly, then took out the silk cloth from the drawer beside and started writing quickly.

"I will write down the current situation, but this time I will ask you to deliver the letter for me." After finishing speaking, she rolled it up and handed it to the two of them.

"Okay." Lorraine Hill didn't mind running another errand, but the woman in the hall seemed to have other ideas.

"Can you allow me to visit the valley for half a day and then go back?" As a member of the Xuanhua Mansion, she cannot rely solely on other people's descriptions to believe many things. She also has to investigate with her own eyes.

"That's okay. It's troublesome to the Imperial Envoy." Grandma Ge Luo responded.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you."

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bu Moyin. I come from the Bu family in Luojing."

Granny Ge Luo nodded as if thinking, and then the woman temporarily withdrew from the shrine, and Caiwei on the side had no choice but to follow.

After seeing him walk away, Granny Grotto slowly spoke.
