defend the truth

At the dinner table in the early morning, the atmosphere was as heavy as a pool of stagnant water.

There is a square table measuring two feet long and fourteen dining chairs with backrests, but there is only one person missing, except Xia Chan.

At the beginning, Li Weizhen already realized that the situation was wrong, but he still thought that maybe because of what happened last night, Xia Chan wanted to avoid him for a while.

However, this conjecture was quickly extinguished.An Lan was the first to respond. She took out a red sachet and put it on the table, saying that when she woke up in the morning, the sachet had already been hung by the bed.She knew very well that the spices in it were a special formula taught by Xia Chan, and the aroma it gave off had the effect of stabilizing emotions, nourishing the heart, and warding off evil spirits.

At first, An Lan was only full of joy after receiving the sachet.Because Xia Chan has always treated her very well, this unexpected little surprise has become very common.

However, when An Lan happily finished her breakfast and knocked on the door of Xia Chan's room, she didn't get any response.It was only then that I started to feel a little inexplicable uneasiness, so that I comforted myself, "Sister Xia, I guess I just went out to practice early!" I dare not be sure of such a reasonable explanation.

Immediately afterwards, there was Ye Tong. He didn't show anything, but said with a heavy face what was unusual that he had encountered.

Ye Tong also received an unexpected gift when he woke up this morning.On the tea table in his room, there was a new stack of thread-bound books, which contained knowledge about domesticating spirit beasts.On the page, there are beautiful hand-copied characters, and there is still a faint fragrance of ink.

All these coincidences, connected together, pushed the matter to the reality that no one wanted to see.

In the end, it was Li Weizhen who got up silently and walked around. In Xia Chan's room, he found a letter addressed to everyone.

"Please forgive me for saying goodbye to everyone in such a way! I am very grateful that there was a time in my life where I met..."

Without circulating silently, this affectionate farewell letter was read by Li Weizhen in a tone as calm and gentle as possible.He knew that this was the only thing he could do instead of Xia Chan.Let the painful farewell not turn into sharp thorns to add to the sadness.

In the letter, Xia Chan did not explain her whereabouts, but mostly expressed in a metaphorical way that she had the purpose of leaving this place temporarily.As for whether there will be a return date, there is no mention of it.

After listening to the contents of the letter, An Lan, who blinked her watery eyes, suddenly had a thought, and she quickly said what she was thinking: "Sir, sister Xia, did she go home?"

Not to mention, the possibility of this is really not small.Luo Yicheng, who had tried to go home before leaving his life, raised his eyebrows and gave Li Weizhen a look of agreement with this conjecture.

Because, when they went up the mountain to practice, they were only fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls, and most of them came out of ordinary people's homes.It is not surprising that there are brothers and sisters in the family, parents and parents.

If it is said that the monks on the mountain must be orphans with few relatives, that would be extremely absurd.It's just that immortals are different, and gradually cutting off their past thoughts is what most people do.

What's more, in the more than two months since I came to this place, the four words "conscientious and conscientious" are not enough to describe Xia Chan's contribution and diligence.During this time, no one heard her complain even a word.The environment here is not good, but everyone survived until today.It's only a little bit like a home, and it's getting more and more lively.

For a long time, thanks to Xia Chan's sacrifice of her own training time, and taking care of all the chores sooner or later, the place has been kept in order.It feels like the hostess of this mountain garden.

Therefore, as one of the first four people, Luo Yicheng, and after Zhao Hongxue lost his memory, as the person who watched the past with the deepest feeling, he really couldn't give an explanation in his heart: why Xia Chan just left a letter and wanted to Leaving with stars and moon?

Could it be that he was wronged by someone?

Thinking of this, Luo Yicheng looked at Li Weizhen's eyes, which changed in an instant, with suspicion and temptation, and the meaning of pointing was obvious.

It's just because Luo Yicheng is used to using waterfalls and cold springs to assist him in his practice when everything is still.And at midnight last night, just as he was returning to the woods outside the bamboo building, he saw Xia Chan walking out of the wooden house from a distance, and the direction he chose for the follow-up should be where Qi Hut was.

After Luo Yicheng had checked the time for a while, he was convinced that the last person who saw Xia Chan last night was undoubtedly Li Weizhen!

Li Weizhen looked at Luo Yicheng's eyes staring straight at him, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and pretended to be puzzled, and said: "Senior Brother Luo, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it. I'll read your eyes." I don't know what it means!"

If it weren't for the secret hidden in his heart, he wouldn't need to care about other people's eyes at all. Luo Yicheng believed in his own conjecture again, and he said, "What do you mean, you don't understand? Are you sure, let me spread the word out here ? If I guessed correctly, you and Junior Sister Xia met in private last night, right?"

Luo Yicheng put his right hand under the table and secretly knotted his fingers. His lips did not move, but his voice had already reached Li Weizhen's ears.But on the stage, he knew how to measure, and said something not salty or bland: "It's nothing, I just feel that this matter is strange!"

Surrounded by a group of smart people, there are advantages and disadvantages. Li Weizhen still did not change his face, trying to take his attention away from himself. He said in a deep voice: "Let's not think about what is hidden behind this. Or should we try to find Junior Sister Xia to see if she has any difficulties before making this choice suddenly. Does anyone know where she lived before?"

Two or three hours had passed, and if he wanted to leave, there would be no trace left.Instead of searching like a headless chicken, the first thing to do is to establish a general search direction.

However, facing this question, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one could answer.

It was Luo Yicheng who was the first to recall that when the four of them escaped from the mountain gate and crossed the Shadow Swamp by force.He discussed with Zhao Hongxue and Xia Chan about where they would go in the future.After he proposed that he would return to his hometown, Zhao Hongxue took advantage of the situation and asked Xia Chan, saying that she also had a family in the secular world, did she make the same choice?

As Xia Chan's close friend, Zhao Hongxue should know the answer, but the problem is that she lost her memory!

Those present here include senior brothers and sisters, and several people from the same sect.We have known each other for several years and have experienced life and death, but we are stumped by such a small problem.

Sui Wenyan and the others have remained silent on this matter, and Wen Renyu was the first to apologize and said: "Back then, Junior Sister Xia was not brought back to the mountain gate by us, and some of her information was never in our hands. .So, I'm sorry!"

Sui Wenyan also sighed softly: "I still remember the places where the Fairy Fate Conference was held in various places. I can write it down for you later. However, there are both big cities and small towns, which is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!"

Hearing this, An Lan hurriedly said, "I'll go to the study to get a pen and ink now!"

Li Weizhen quickly waved his hand and said, "Xiaolan, sit down! Senior Sister Sui, you dictate it, I can write it down!"

Although, no matter whose child can be selected into the fairy gate, it is a good story that can be passed down for a while.But now three years have passed, and it is still not easy to inquire about this kind of after-dinner conversation.

But even if the chance is slim, Li Weizhen still wants to try.If this matter is really related to me, how can I quit because of this?

Sui Wenyan nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll start with the place with the largest number of people and follow along! They are: Fuchun City, Qingyang Town, Nanfeng Town..."

Fu Jingzhang, who hadn't intended to interrupt, raised his hand after hearing the name of his hometown, and said cautiously: "Actually, I've always wanted to say that Senior Sister Xia's accent is a bit like someone from my hometown! But, I've always been embarrassed to ask..."

Li Weizhen's eyes lit up, "Go on!"

After Fu Jingzhang gained some confidence, his voice became louder, and he expressed his opinion directly: "Among the dozen or so surnames with the largest population in Fuchun City, the surname "Xia" does not exist. However, this is a good thing. Because there are at least 4 or 7000 people with the surname Fu, and there are as many as [-] people like me who live in the branch of the outer city. And I remember that in the southern area of ​​the outer city, there are a few alleys with the surname Xia Yes! As for the most prosperous inner city, it is occupied by the head of the big family, so it should be ruled out!"

A few alleys, with a population of several hundred at most, narrowed the search area a lot.Even girls in the mundane world have never been allowed to be included in the genealogy, and it is not difficult for each family to inquire about the past.Such definite news came too timely!

Without further ado, Li Weizhen hurriedly waved to Fu Jingzhang: "Then Lao Jingzhang, you come with me!"

Fu Jingzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh, yes!"

Li Weizhen is not the only one who attaches great importance to this matter, Luo Yicheng also got up and said: "Let me go too!"

Immediately afterwards, Sui Wenyan, Wen Renyu and others also expressed their willingness to help.

However, when the matter was discussed at this juncture, Li Weizhen had his calm plan. He said seriously: "Fuchun City is a big city, and there are many monks coming and going. There have always been many eyes and ears from other sects. If we mobilize people to go there Looking for someone, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

"If you can't find any news after walking through several alleys, then there's no need to spend any more time. Just a few of us, in a huge city with a population of nearly one million, can't get enough of it."

Luo Yicheng hesitated for a while, but finally recognized the status quo and compromised: "Alright then! I hope to hear good news from you!"

Li Weizhen didn't dare to boast about Haikou, he just nodded and said nothing.To be honest, if you really want to hide someone, will you be found so easily?However, until now, the thing of "doing one's best and waiting for the destiny" must be done after all.

Li Weizhen didn't stop any longer, he called out his Shuofeng sword, which was the fastest escape, took Fu Jingzhang with him, and rushed at full speed to the majestic city-state that he had heard about countless times, but had never been there in person until now!

It was Fu Jingzhang, who was suffering for the first time to set foot on Feijian of Xianjia, his eyes were closed during the whole process, and he didn't dare to look down.

In the vast sea of ​​clouds above the sky, the morning glow has not completely faded.A ray of sword light, dragged by the violent wind, tore apart a ten-thousand-foot long river!
