"good."
Qin Yan nodded. Fu Changling's excitement gradually subsided as he listened to his calm voice. He looked around and sighed, "Forget it. I won't be angry at this idiot anymore. He's been stupid for a long time. The most important thing now is to find Yue Sinan."
"Well," Qin Yan responded, looking up at him, "How are you going to find it?"
Fu Changling was silent for a moment, then said, "She'll probably come again. I've set up a barrier around the entire town. If she comes, I'll be able to detect her immediately. But there's a huge drawback to this."
"What?"
"My spiritual energy is too depleted."
Fu Changling turned around and looked around, then said with some concern, "It will take me at least a night to set up this formation. By then..."
"I'm here."
Qin Yan spoke directly. Fu Changling knew he would say this, so as soon as Qin Yan opened his mouth, Fu Changling immediately said, "I knew that Senior Brother would definitely protect me."
As he spoke, Fu Changling twirled the fan in his hand and continued, "Then let's go out of the city and take a look. After we've seen everything, if there's nothing unusual, I'll set up the formation tonight."
"good."
The two men discussed and decided, said something to Shangguan Mingyan, and then left the city together.
Shangguan Mingyan had been here before and led the way. The three of them went out of the city gate first and walked along the same path they came from. After a while, they felt the clouds and fog around them began to thicken.
"The further we go, the thicker the fog will be," Shangguan Mingyan said slowly. "Last time, we walked for about a quarter of an hour before we couldn't see the road at all."
As Shangguan Mingyan spoke, the fog around them indeed thickened. Fu Changling raised his hand and grasped Qin Yan's wrist. Qin Yan turned to look at him. Fu Changling said calmly, "This isn't ordinary fog."
Qin Yan raised his eyes and saw Shangguan Mingyan in front of him, with only his back left.
Fu Changling stopped Shangguan Mingyan: "Mingyan."
Shangguan Mingyan stopped, Fu Changling and Qin Yan walked forward. The fog became thicker and thicker, and the three of them stood face to face, but none of them could see the appearance of the person opposite them clearly.
"You go back first."
Fu Changling spoke, then raised his hand and waved it. The thick fog rolled aside like a flowing cloud, revealing a path. Shangguan Mingyan was stunned for a moment, then heard Fu Changling urging, "Hurry."
Shangguan Mingyan reacted and said anxiously, "Then be careful."
Then he turned around and hurriedly ran out using the path opened by Fu Changling.
After he ran away, the thick fog blended together again like flowing water. Fu Changling could not see the person next to him at all, and could only feel the warmth of the person he was holding.
"Can you see me?"
Qin Yan spoke up, and Fu Changling smiled and shook his head: "I can't see it."
"I can roughly see you."
Qin Yan's voice was calm. Fu Changling felt rather helpless when he heard this. "These mists are actually just a trick. They don't really exist. You practice the Way of Mercilessness, so your mind is much clearer than that of ordinary people. You can naturally see it."
Qin Yan got this and responded with a chuckle, “Then you pull me well.”
Fu Changling paused, and after hesitating for a moment, he responded, "Okay."
In fact, he could have set up a barrier to solve the interference of the fog, but when Qin Yan gently allowed him to continue pulling him, he suddenly didn't want to tell him this.
After the two walked in the fog for a while, Qin Yan paused. Fu Changling asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I saw the tombstone."
"How many?"
"A lot." Qin Yan glanced at it and after a long while, he said, "About a thousand or so."
"Pull me over."
Fu Changling spoke immediately, and Qin Yan pulled him to the front of the tombstones. Fu Changling secretly performed a magic spell and finally saw the tombstones clearly.
Those tombstones are actually graves with a stone tablet in front of them. The space on the tablet is blank, so no one knows who is buried there.
Fu Changling took a quick look and found a different tombstone in the middle. The tombstone was very well built and was clearly distinguished from other tombs. Fu Changling and Qin Yan walked over and found four simple words written on it: Tomb of Lin Chen.
Qin Yan turned around and looked at Fu Changling in surprise. Fu Changling stared at the four words on the inscription with a frown.
"Lin..." Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally chose a name, "Why is Senior Lin's grave here?"
Fu Changling also wanted to know this question.
As we all know, Lin Chen died on the Shenming Terrace. Her tomb appears here. Does it mean that she did not die on the Shenming Terrace, or that someone built a cenotaph for her here?
No matter why, why is Lin Chen’s grave here?
"According to what Yue Sihua said, Yue Sinan only hates her, right?"
Fu Changling murmured, and Qin Yan looked at him: "What?"
"Why didn't Lin Chen let us go even though Yue Sihua was dead? What else did she want to do with us?"
Qin Yan was silent.
Fu Changling looked at the person on the tombstone and continued, "Where is she hiding?"
"Can I go out?"
Qin Yan suddenly asked this question. Fu Changling glanced at him and said calmly, "No."
"Why?"
Qin Yan frowned, and Fu Changling smiled. He glanced around and said gently, "I can't find the center of this formation."
Qin Yan was quite surprised to hear this. He had never imagined that there was a formation in this world that Fu Changling could not break. Fu Changling saw his expression and understood what he meant. He explained, "Because the core of the formation is Yue Sinan himself."
"In person?"
Qin Yan repeated it, and Fu Changling nodded. He held Qin Yan's wrist, turned around, and walked back with him. He said calmly: "This Taiping Town is probably Yue Sinan's dojo. She must have been hiding here all these years, so everyone can't find her."
"This formation is different from ordinary formations. The core of the formation is on Yue Sinan. If we can't find Yue Sinan, we can try to break the formation by force. However, Yunyu must be in this dojo as well, so I'm afraid he will be implicated."
Qin Yan listened and understood for a long time before saying, "So, we are now in Yue Sinan's body?"
"You can understand it that way."
Fu Changling nodded and said, "This Taiping Town should now be integrated with Yue Sinan. If we completely break the formation, Yue Sinan will be gone. If Yue Sinan is gone, Taiping Town will completely collapse. No one living inside will be able to escape, naturally including Yunyu."
"Since Yunyu is in Taiping Town," Qin Yan said immediately, "let's go find him right away."
"Okay." Fu Changling nodded, then smiled, "But, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"Besides, Senior Brother," Fu Changling twirled the fan in his hand and said slowly, "Don't you think this Taiping Town has many secrets?"
Qin Yan didn't say anything. He knew Fu Changling had his own answer in his heart. Fu Changling continued, "In fact, I have a feeling."
"What?"
"I think Yue Sinan asked us to come here on purpose. She seems to have something she wants to tell us."
"for example?"
"I can't really explain it," Fu Changling laughed. "I just feel that Yue Sinan seems to do things without any method, but in fact, they all seem to have a reason. Ever since my rebirth, everything seems to be linked together. Look, at Shangguan Villa, Shangguan Hong used his granddaughter Shangguan Yuehua as a spirit gathering array. Shangguan Yuehua and Shangguan Yuemin both had water spirit roots born on an yin year, yin month, and yin day. Isn't Shangguan Yuehua's situation very similar to Yue Sinan's? Yue Sinan rescued Shangguan Yuemin from the array and directly catalyzed her soul into Wushiluo to avenge her. Isn't this situation very similar to those evil spirits in Wangu Cliff?"
"Every action of Yue Sinan seems to be hinting at something. She wouldn't have taken Yunyu away for no reason. Don't you think that we are here now because she led us here?"
“There’s a premise here.”
Qin Yan spoke calmly. Fu Changling said, "Hmm?" and then Qin Yan calmly pointed out, "That is, Yue Sinan knows that you are reborn."
Fu Changling was stunned by this. Qin Yan continued, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have guessed that you would come to Taiping Town."
Fu Changling didn't say anything. The two of them walked back. After a long while, Fu Changling suddenly said, "There's something I can't figure out."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked forward: "Why was I reborn? I always thought that my rebirth was a coincidence, but now you have given me another idea."
"Perhaps," Qin Yan understood what he meant and said coldly, "You were not reborn by chance."
"But this is too mysterious." Fu Changling laughed. "Before my reincarnation, I was already in the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing. If there is someone in this world who can do something that I can't do, I will know it."
"Once we find Yue Sinan," Qin Yan thought, "perhaps we will know."
"That's right."
Fu Changling relaxed his tone: "Let's take it one step at a time. Besides," Fu Changling looked at Qin Yan and said with a smile, "Senior Brother will always protect me, right?"
As they were talking, they had already walked out of the fog. Qin Yan paused and looked at him quietly. Fu Changling was a little scared by Qin Yan's eyes and said stiffly: "What...what's wrong?"
"You can see."
Qin Yan spoke with certainty. Fu Changling's heart skipped a beat and he quickly loosened his grip. He said awkwardly, "I can't see it clearly."
Qin Yan said nothing, staring at him intently. Fu Changling felt a little flustered and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I won't make such jokes again."
"You," Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You shouldn't have lied to me."
These words made Fu Changling hesitate. Qin Yan saw his hesitation and suddenly felt that his words were not very appropriate. He hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Stop joking."
"I understand." Fu Changling smiled bitterly and replied, "I will follow your orders, Senior Brother."
After saying this, the two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. After a moment, Fu Changling raised his head, looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "It's too late now, let's go back."
"Um."
Qin Yan responded and watched Fu Changling walk forward, then he followed behind.
The two walked away, one in front and the other behind. After a while, Fu Changling slowly said, "Brother, you know. Just now you told me not to lie to you, so why didn't I say anything?"
Qin Yan didn't understand. He looked up at Fu Changling's back and heard Fu Changling say with a smile, "If you promise not to lie to me, Senior Brother," he turned around, his peach blossom eyes curved, hiding the emotions in them, "I won't be able to joke around so often."
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly.
"You," he sighed softly, "you shouldn't be so fond of joking."
Fu Changling smiled but said nothing.
At that moment, he actually wanted to complete that sentence.
If he couldn't joke, then all his uncontrollable true emotions would be exposed.
