A fishy smell hit everyone's face, making everyone feel nauseous.

"Why does it stink so bad!"

Yu Xiaolong exclaimed.

The next moment, everyone's eyes glanced around, with shock on their faces.

All around the secret room, there were piles of bones, rotting pieces of meat, and containers filled with blood. The fishy smell that was smelled in the secret passage just now emanated from here.

"Is this...really Wuzhuang Mountain?" Nan Youyue said in horror.

Although Liang Yan was also surprised, he had already been mentally prepared. At this time, he just frowned and looked around intently.

I saw a rusty bronze cauldron behind the secret room.

Bones were used as firewood under the stove. The flame had been extinguished and the stove lid had been lifted. It looked like it had not been used for a long time.

Liang Yan slowly walked to the stove while focusing on vigilance.

He carefully checked the stove and found that there was nothing inside, except for some black ash, which was the remains of something unknown.

There are several pieces of paper taped to the side of the cauldron, most of which have some scrawled runes, the meaning of which is unclear.

But there were a few lines of small words written on one of the notes:

"After many years of trying, I finally succeeded today. It requires one point of spirit as a guide, five points of soul, three points of flesh, two points of true spirit, and supplemented by four points each of bone and blood. This is the optimal solution."

After reading this note, Liang Yan's frown deepened.

It seems that Canglong Laodao has been conducting some kind of secret research here, and it has been quite a long time.

What is his purpose? Is this research related to this tribulation? Are other monks in Wuzhuang Mountain, such as Lu Qinghe and others, also aware of this matter?

"Sister!"

Just as he was thinking secretly, Yu Xiaolong's exclamation suddenly came from behind him.

Looking back, I found this woman squatting among the bones, holding a ring in her hand, with a strange expression on her face, a mixture of surprise and fear.

Nan Youyue also walked over at this time.

"This is......."

Although you couldn't see her expression behind the veil, you could hear her shock from her tone.

"It's Master's 'Mo Xuejie'! Master, she...she..." Yu Xiaolong's voice was choked with sobs, and he couldn't say the next words.

Liang Yan temporarily put aside the cauldron matter, walked to the two women, and asked:

"Have you found any clues about Baili Xuanyin?"

"Um."

Nan Youyue took the ring from Yu Xiaolong's hand and said softly: "This is Master's 'Mo Xue Ring'. She has always been inseparable. Now the ring is still there, but the person is not. I'm afraid..."

"This doesn't mean anything." Liang Yan didn't take it seriously: "Maybe your master lost it when he was fighting with others. Maybe she escaped safely, but kept the ring."

"impossible."

Nan Youyue shook her head and said solemnly: "This ring has special meaning to Master. Her Taoist companion died trying to save her, and the relic left behind before his death was this 'Moxue Ring'. The ring

It doesn't have much effect on its own, but Master swears that he will never take it off in this life. Unless she dies, as long as she still has breath, she will come to snatch this ring back."

"There is such a story..."

Liang Yan sighed.

If this is the case, then Baili Xuanyin is indeed in danger.

Nan Youyue was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although she was also pessimistic about Baili Xuanyin's death, she did not lose control of her emotions at this time. Instead, she took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

"Long'er, don't cry, things may not be as bad as you think."

She pulled Yu Xiaolong out of the pile of bones and said firmly: "No matter what, we have to find the master. As long as we don't see the master's body for a day, we can't conclude that the master is dead!"

After listening to Nan Youyue's words, Yu Xiaolong's mood gradually stabilized.

"You're right...I shouldn't have given up."

Nan Youyue's eyes were complicated, and she wiped the tears on her face, and said softly: "Long'er, even if the master has really left Hexi, we still have to bring her body back to Yuzhu Mountain so that her soul can return to her hometown.

.”

"Yeah!" Yu Xiaolong's eyes became firm.

Liang Yan saw this scene from the side and nodded secretly.

I have to say that the relationship between master and disciple in Yuzhu Mountain is very deep. I don’t know why Hu Shisan betrayed the sect back then.

"You two, this secret room has been abandoned for a long time. There shouldn't be any clues here. Let's go back first." Liang Yan suggested.

"good."

Nan Youyue nodded and left the secret room with Yu Xiaolong.

The three of them returned along the secret passage and soon returned to the hall of the attic.

As soon as I came out, I saw a flash of golden light in the distance, and Lian Xin walked out from behind the screen.

He smiled slightly at Liang Yan and gave a thumbs up with his right hand.

"Junior brother really has a way of dealing with women. I have put the Gu insect into the 'Tongtian Eye'. In the next few days, we can sit back and relax!"

Of course, these words were conveyed to him through a message.

Liang Yan ignored him and glanced at the "eye of heaven" behind the screen. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming from the attic.

Then there was a loud shout:
Chapter completed!
