Chapter 336 The Monk in the Cave
After Leng Zhuxin dealt with Song Mei's body, he set out again.
This time we got out of the maple forest smoothly.
Outside the maple forest is a valley. On the stone wall facing it, there is a mark carved by humans.
It looks a bit like the sect mark of Qingxuan Sect.
Leng Zhuxin did not take it lightly just because it was the mark of his own sect, but walked into the valley with extreme caution.
The valley was covered with weeds half a man's height, and there was no sign of any demonic beast.
There is a sense of some people living there.
Leng Zhuxin tried her best not to make any sound, and when she walked through the weeds, she discovered that there was a cave on the stone wall!
The upper half of the cave entrance was blocked by vines, leaving only the lower half exposed.
Traps were dug near the cave entrance and a simple protective fence was set up.
Looking down inside, you can see a straw bed that seems to have been there for a long time, with a blue-gray robe spread on the straw.
The robe seemed to be dirty and turned gray. The fabric and original color should be the sect uniform of the inner disciples of Qingxuan Sect.
Leng Zhuxin held the Feishuang Sword carefully and walked closer, then he heard breathing sounds in the cave.
The people in the cave seemed to be deliberately controlling their breathing, and it wasn't loud.
If Leng Zhuxin didn't have such sharp senses, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.
The people in the cave didn't seem to be very alert. Leng Zhuxin had already walked to the entrance of the cave, but had not noticed anyone breaking in from outside.
After using the Feishuang Sword to cut off a part of the hanging vines, Leng Zhuxin looked into the dim cave again and saw a male cultivator wearing the uniform of a Qingxuan Sect disciple!
There was a shallow scar on the monk's forehead, which looked a bit like the one left by the foot of a medicine cauldron.
Judging from the size of the scar, it is somewhat fatal.
This is also why the scars do not disappear.
The male monk was practicing with his eyes closed. His skin was abnormally pale and his lips had lost some color.
But his appearance inexplicably made Leng Zhuxin feel familiar.
He had his hair untied, and it was long and fell down behind him, obviously not having been trimmed for a long time.
The disciple's uniform he was wearing was without his outer robe, which was cleaner than the outer robe spread on the ground. He looked a bit like a mountain ghost in some strange stories.
But he is breathing and alive.
Leng Zhuxin carefully avoided the traps in the cave and walked closer, seeing the full appearance of the male monk.
The face of this male monk gradually overlapped with Chen Wei's face, especially the nose and mouth, which seemed almost as if they were carved from the same mold!
Chen Wei’s brother Chen Ke!
Chen Ke’s name suddenly appeared in Leng Zhuxin’s mind!
She looked in disbelief at Chen Ke, who was obviously alive, in front of her. After making preparations, she woke up Chen Ke, who was immersed in cultivation.
Chen Ke's eyelashes fluttered, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
Perhaps because he hadn't opened his eyes for a long time, it took him a long time to blink before his eyes could focus again.
His natal spirit sword was unsheathed instantly, and only after he saw Leng Zhuxin wearing the disciple uniform personally taught by Qingxuan Sect did he retract the sword energy.
"Which elder of the Qingxuan Sect are you the direct disciple of?"
Chen Ke asked Leng Zhuxin cautiously.
Leng Zhuxin also looked at him warily, but still replied in a calm tone: "I am the master's direct disciple. Do you know Senior Sister Chen Wei from Danfeng?"
"Weiwei! Is Weiwei okay?
I am her brother, and your senior brother is Gu Wangchen?"
When Chen Ke heard Chen Wei's name, he became excited and tears welled up in his eyes. He asked Leng Zhuxin anxiously.
Leng Zhuxin finally confirmed Chen Ke's identity, but she couldn't guarantee whether Chen Ke was possessed by someone else, so she was still a little wary.
"Senior Sister Chen Wei is very good, and Gu Wangchen is my senior brother.
The sect has always said that you are dead."
Leng Zhuxin didn't know how to address Chen Ke. Chen Ke was an inner sect disciple, and according to the sect rules, he should be called "Junior Brother", but he was also Chen Wei's older brother.
Chen Ke didn't care about the name, and even bent down and called out, "Junior Sister."
Then he continued, “Is it ten years later now?
I couldn't get out back then, so in the sect's eyes I must have been dead."
Chen Ke smiled bitterly, with a hint of bitterness in his tone.
He hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and his voice was dry and hoarse when he spoke.
When he heard Leng Zhuxin say that the Hengyuan Realm had been opened ahead of schedule and not ten years later, he suddenly raised his head.
“Not ten years from now?
Did Zhang Wulin come in with you?"
Chen Ke's eyes were full of hatred, and his teeth seemed to be broken when he mentioned Zhang Wulin's name.
Leng Zhuxin, who knew about the feud between him and Zhang Wulin, shook her head again, "Not really.
Zhang Wulin's cultivation had been destroyed and he was taken back by the Zhang family. I don't know whether he is dead or alive.
Was it really Zhang Wulin who killed you back then?"
Hearing that Zhang Wulin's life or death was unknown, Chen Ke was a little dazed.
He had always been thinking about the day when he would seek revenge on Zhang Wulin, and when he heard this he couldn't help but mutter.
The color of his eyes was also somewhat complicated.
After a long pause, he said, “I didn’t expect that he would return to the Zhang family so easily.
Yes, it was he who colluded with the demons, used poison incense on me in the secret realm, and tried to kill me.
The weapon used was even the medicine cauldron I used to make the detoxification pill for him.
The scar on my forehead was left at that time.
If the secret realm had not been closed, they would have been teleported out.
I'm afraid the body has already been destroyed.
The poisonous incense at that time, coupled with the wound on my head, put me into a state of suspended animation and I was unable to be discharged in time.
When I woke up with one last breath and swallowed a seventh-grade spiritual herb, I found that I couldn't get out.
Later, they found this relatively safe valley in the secret realm and settled down there temporarily.
I thought I would have to wait ten years until the secret realm opened again before I could get out, but I didn't expect that Hengyuan Realm would open ahead of time.
Is my sister here?"
Chen Ke knew that his sister should have already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. The relationship between the two siblings was very good. Now that the Hengyuan Realm was open, Chen Wei would most likely come in to find her.
After seeing Leng Zhuxin nod, his eyes, which had been gloomy, finally lit up with joy.
He quickly picked up the robe lying on the ground, cast a cleansing spell on it, and only put it on after the robe showed its original green color.
She performed another trick and tied up her hair.
He didn't want his sister to see him in such a miserable state.
After cleaning himself up, Chen Ke bowed to Leng Zhuxin again.
"I still don't know the name of Junior Senior Sister. If she hadn't brought me the news that Hengyuan Realm was opening early, I would have been so immersed in cultivation that I wouldn't have known anything about it, and I would have been stuck in Hengyuan Realm for who knows how many more years."
After tidying himself up, Chen Ke looked quite handsome.
However, what he said was a bit serious. Even if Leng Zhuxin had not entered the valley by accident, when the Hengyuan Realm was closed, he would still be thrown out by the Hengyuan Realm if he did not fall into a state of suspended animation again.
The reason why he said this was just because he wanted to get closer to Leng Zhuxin.
