Chapter 4: Danxia Strange Stories



It was night on Danxia Peak.

A pretty and thin woman was walking alone on the mountain road.

After a moment, she stopped and looked up at a stone tablet in front of her. Three words were engraved on it - Qiluo Garden.

“This is it.”

Xia Qinglian muttered to herself coldly and walked slowly into the garden.

This is a huge forest park built on the hillside, with shady trees and houses lined up in an orderly manner.

The area outside is made of white wood and white tiles, neat and tidy. This is where the bronze-level outer disciples live.

Further inward is a small courtyard with larger and more stylish houses. Each house also has a small yard outside, and the environment is much better.

This is the residence of the silver-level outer disciples.

Xia Qinglian sneered in her heart. At that time, all the disciples of Qinglian Sect lived in houses of the same specifications. Even she, the Sect Master, and the eldest senior sister only had one room to themselves.

The Zhenyang Sect is indeed a famous and large sect with a strict hierarchy. The disciples are divided into different levels and even the places where they live are divided into high and low levels.

Each wooden house I passed by had a copper plaque hung on it with the room number engraved on it, starting from one and going in increasing numbers as I went further in.

The bronze plate on Ruomei's body is engraved with the number 98, so naturally she has to walk a little further inside.

Xia Qinglian was thinking in her mind as she walked. The head of Danxia Peak, Tan Tai Mingyue, attached great importance to alchemy, and her husband was an alchemist. Besides, he also wanted the Bingxin Rejuvenating Pill, so her husband would most likely come to Danxia Peak.

I will stay quietly in Danxia Peak as Ruomei, waiting for my husband to come.

Of course, I cannot recognize my husband, otherwise I will implicate him.

Xia Qinglian was quite happy to have come to Zhenyang Sect by accident.

Because in this way she can quietly practice and restore her skills, lurk inside the Zhenyang Sect to learn more secrets so that she can take revenge in the future.

She can also protect her husband silently without worrying about getting him into trouble.

This achieves three goals at one stroke.

At that moment, Xia Qinglian made up her mind to first understand all the situations about Ruomei, leaving no flaws, and then lie in ambush quietly.

Soon they arrived in front of the bronze-level house with the word "Ninety-Eight" on it. Xia Qinglian pushed the door open and walked in. Suddenly, a light shout rang out from inside:

"who?!"

Suddenly the long-burning lamp was lit. There were four beds in the room, three of which were covered with bedding and other daily necessities, while the other one was just an empty frame, apparently no one was living there for the time being.

There were two women sitting on the other two beds, they were the two women who had thrown the bodies on the cliff before.

When the two saw Ruomei, they turned pale and showed fear on their faces. They pointed at Ruomei and exclaimed:

"Ruomei?! You, what are you doing..."

Xia Qinglian's face once again showed a confused expression, and she said in a daze:

"I remember this is where I live. Did I go the wrong way?"

The two women were still in shock. After observing carefully for a moment, they found that Ruomei in front of them was not an illusion but a living person, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Ruomei's confused expression, one of the tall women boldly asked:

"Ruomei, do you... recognize us?"

Xia Qinglian looked at them in confusion and shook her head: "I seem to recognize them, but I also seem not to recognize them. I just woke up on a tree below the cliff. My mind is blank. I only remember that I live here. Who are you?"

This "amnesia" performance was very exciting. The two women looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not. The other woman with a sturdy figure and rough skin on her face asked:

"Then... Ruomei, do you remember how you fell off the cliff?"

Xia Qinglian shook her head in confusion again: "I don't remember. By the way, who are you two? Why are you in my room?"

The tall woman rolled her eyes and showed a friendly smile on her face: "Ruomei, have you forgotten? We both live with you. My name is Zhou Wan."

"My name is Xu Chengfang, hehe." The sturdy woman waved at her with a silly smile on her face. It was she who hesitated before about disposing of the body.

The tall woman named Zhou Wan had a smile on her face, but there was a fierce look in her eyes. However, Xia Qinglian could not hide her little action.

It seems that there are three people living in this house. Ruomei must have had a conflict with Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang over something and was killed by the two.

Most likely it was Zhou Wan who did it, and Xu Chengfang was an accomplice.

By the way, there is also the inner disciple wearing the purple sun brocade robe. He is probably the mastermind.

Now it's better to hide here quietly and slowly understand all the situations about Ruomei.

Xia Qinglian said to them, "Oh, so you all live with me? I remember this bed was mine. I'm sorry, I was confused today and forgot about you all. I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep first."

Xia Qinglian turned off the light and went to bed.

The room fell into darkness again and became quiet again.

After a long time, Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang quietly got out of bed. Zhou Wan, holding a long sword in his hand, walked silently to Ruomei's bed.

She raised her sword and pointed it at the naked Ruomei, but was held back by Xu Chengfang, who waved his hands repeatedly.

The two of them walked out of the house, closed the door, and came to a remote grove. Zhou Wan said angrily:

"Why are you stopping me? If she remembers and tells everyone about it, we'll be finished!"

Xu Chengfang hurriedly said: "Senior Sister Zhou, if someone were to be killed in Qiluo Garden, the peak would definitely investigate, and then we would be easily caught!"

When Zhou Wan heard her words, the anger on her face subsided a little, but she became more worried:

"We clearly saw her die with our own eyes, so why did she wake up? Could it be that the monks in the Western Emperor Land really have some secret method?"

According to her words, Ruomei should be from the Western Emperor's land, but no one knows why she came to the Zhenyang Sect of Dongxiu.

Xu Chengfang suddenly grabbed Zhou Wan's sleeve and said, "Sister Zhou, it's not really a ghost, is it?!"

Zhou Wan was startled by her action and stared at her, "Don't talk nonsense! I saw just now that there was a shadow under Ruomei, and she was breathing heavily when she spoke. How could it be a ghost?"

"What should we do now?" Xu Chengfang became more and more panicked and said to Zhou Wan:

"Why don't we go find Senior Sister Lin? She was the one who asked us to kill Ruomei, she can't just ignore us!"

Zhou Wan said with a sullen face, "Senior Sister Lin will follow the commanding disciples to the surrounding towns to kill monsters tomorrow. I'm afraid she won't be back for more than a month. During this period, we can't fall out with Ruomei. Let's wait until Senior Sister Lin comes back!"

"This..." Xu Chengfang bit her lip and finally nodded:

"I'll listen to Senior Sister Zhou."

"Remember, don't talk too much about the past with Ruomei, and try not to let her remember it, okay!"

After the two of them had discussed it, they tiptoed towards Room 98 of Copper, but they didn't know that there was a delicate and thin figure standing on the big tree above their heads.

The next moment, the figure flashed and disappeared.
