Chapter 49: No consensus After He Qing returned to his room, he remembered that he had not yet gone to look for Lu Li. Gu Changnian seemed to be confused and stood on the corridor for a long time without moving. After thinking it over, He Qing decided to give up and go tomorrow. But at dawn, Xuan Qingzi sent a message to several leaders early in the morning, including Chen Sanyi from Yuling Palace, to go to Tianshu Gate for a meeting. Before leaving, He Qing went to take a special look at Gu Changnian. He was arranging the day's affairs for the disciples of the mountain gate. Le Qingru was also very obedient. She followed Gu Changnian closely and refused to run around. And He Qing still hadn't seen Lu Li. He Qing went to his room and wanted to go in to take a look, but he seemed not to be in the room, and there was no sound in the room. Chen Sanyi was ready faster than He Qing, and was waiting for He Qing at the gate of the palace. After exchanging a few words, the two flew to the main peak. On the way, Chen Sanyi did not forget to tell He Qing that he had already warned his disciples not to bring trouble to the Yaoguang Sect. He Qing glanced at the peach wood sword at his feet and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Master Chen is indeed very advanced in cultivation. It is rare to be able to use a peach wood sword as a weapon." Chen Sanyi laughed twice, "Master He Qing, you are joking. This weapon control is just basic skills. How can it compare to Master He Qing?"
He Qing didn't ask any more questions, but he became more suspicious. The people in the Yuling Palace all use corpses as magical instruments, and they must travel in groups of at least "two" when they go out. However, Chen Sanyi does not seem to have his own magical instruments, and all he carries with him are some small items to exorcise evil spirits. The two of them came all the way to the main hall of Tianshu Sect, and the other leaders also arrived one after another. After sitting down, Xuan Qingzi first greeted Guanghan Sect leaders Yuntian and Chen Sanyi as usual, and then got to the point, detailing the scenes when the monsters appeared and were wiped out. Yun Tian nodded after pondering, "Since you have already carefully checked every part of Lingshan, there should be no trace left." "Uh, sorry," Chen Sanyi took over as soon as Yun Tian finished speaking. He smiled and said carefully, "I know that the five major sects in Lingshan are the pioneers of the immortal way. There are many talented people like Sect Leader He Qing. I shouldn't question it, but... although the demon beast didn't leave any traces, it didn't leave any corpses either, right?" When Daoyi heard this, he cleared his throat and said, "That's true." Chen Sanyi rubbed his hands and asked, "If that's the case, can you let me go to the Monster Mountain again?" This attitude could be described as "humble", and it made the other leaders feel uncomfortable. Xuan Qingzi said, "Of course there is no problem. I will take you there later." He paused and said, "However, the seal within your sect..." Chen San nodded in response: "Oh, yes, yes, before Sect Leader Xuanqing made it clear, I didn't know that my sect was built on the seal tens of thousands of years ago. When I return to the mountain this time, I will investigate carefully." "But," Xuan Qingzi said, "the seal was created by the first generation of our sect leader. I heard from Sect Leader Chen that the seal is in your sect's forbidden area. I asked Taoist Master Chen to come here to discuss whether we can enter?" "This..." Chen Sanyi hesitated for a moment, then said in embarrassment, "To be honest with Sect Leader Xuanqing, the forbidden area of our sect can only be entered by the Sect Leader. If an outsider wants to enter, I'm afraid..." After these words were spoken, the other people at the table all had different expressions. But Chen Sanyi said flatteringly: "However, for the sake of justice, I am willing to mediate. But Master Xuanqing, can you share the locations of the ten seals from that year?" Xuan Qingzi paused in stroking his beard, coughed lightly, and did not respond. Instead, Chong Ying took the initiative to explain: "Master Chen, it's not that we don't want to share the seal location, but once this location is made public, no one knows whether it will be obstructed by someone with ulterior motives. I believe Master Chen can understand the risks involved." "I naturally understand." Chen Sanyi smiled sincerely and said, "Then, I hope you can understand my difficulties." Everyone: ... Chen Sanyi used the most cowardly tone and gave the toughest attitude. The leaders of Lingshan were obviously not very happy, but they could not force others to open the mountain gate. Especially since Yun Tian, the head of Guanghan Sect, did not express any opinions throughout the whole process, judging from his expression, it can be estimated that he also hopes to know the specific location of the seal.
Finally, the plan to enter the forbidden area of Yuling Palace was not finalized after all and could only be put aside for the time being. When Guanyue led Yuntian and Chen Sanyi to the Monster Mountain, the remaining four leaders stayed behind to hold a small meeting. He Qing finally had the chance to ask the question he had been holding back for a long time - "Master, when the Yuling Palace established its sect on the seal, why didn't we stop it immediately?" Xuan Qingzi touched his chin awkwardly and said, "Those seals have existed for tens of thousands of years and have never had any problems. Over the years, the immortal sects have been constantly changing, so it is inevitable that they have been overlooked." That is to say, since the immortal sect sealed the demon god, no one has ascended to become an immortal. The personnel have changed frequently, and as time has passed, everyone has forgotten about this matter... It's really amazing. ■ In the evening, He Qing, who had been busy all day, returned to Beifeng. He first summoned Gu Changnian to confirm whether the disciples of Yuling Palace had caused any trouble. Gu Changnian was silent for a moment, then led He Qing to the guest hall. He saw that in the courtyard of the guest hall, which was shrouded in clouds and mist and penetrated by the afterglow of the setting sun, there was no sound at all. Even the cranes that occasionally stopped in the courtyard on weekdays were gone. Under the shadow of the eaves, outside the door of each guest room stood a cloaked "disciple" of the Yuling Palace, motionless, silent, and eerie. He Qing held his forehead helplessly: This Chen Sanyi knows how to disgust people. Last night I told him not to let his disciples and these magic weapons walk around, so he made all the magic weapons stand outside the door, scaring the disciples of the mountain gate so much that they dared not come over. He Qing said, "Let them be. Where's Qing Ru?" Gu Changnian replied: "She said she felt a little uncomfortable and has returned to her room." He Qing was startled, and after secretly calculating with her fingers, she realized that today was the night of the full moon. She had been busy recently and almost forgot about it. Since Le Qingru entered the sect, there has been a full moon every month. Usually, He Qing helped her set up a barrier at Tianmu Cave, which not only blocked her evil spirit, but also taught her how to avoid losing her mind and going berserk. "Where is Lu Li?" He Qing asked again. Gu Changnian said, "I didn't lead them in meditation these past two days, so I didn't see him." He Qing frowned slightly: What's wrong with this guy? Could it be... But in order not to arouse Gu Changnian's excessive suspicion, He Qing quickly suppressed her emotions. She calculated the time and said to Gu Changnian thoughtfully, "You should pay more attention tonight." "Yes." Hearing Gu Changnian's calm response, He Qing couldn't help but look at him carefully. It was obvious that Gu Changnian did not rest after they parted last night. He stayed up all night and his face showed a little fatigue. (End of this chapter)
