Zhao Ji nodded in agreement, and then his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Is it possible that your senior sisters all went down the mountain because they couldn't bear your master's sudden departure?"

Zhao Yuannu shook his head slowly:

"impossible."

"Nearly all of my fellow apprentices and sisters were abandoned by their parents when they were young, so they have been staying in the mountains to accompany the master for decades."

"And this place is equivalent to the home of those senior sisters."

"Even so, where can those senior sisters go now?"

Zhao Ji sighed softly:

"That being said, it makes sense."

"Is it possible that your senior sisters were reluctant to let your master leave, so they all followed him?"

Zhao Yuannu pondered for a while, and then said:

"I guess it's unlikely, because the master has already planned to go into seclusion during her trip."

"In that case, how could she allow others to disturb her purity?"

"What's more, Master, she is taking a man with her on this trip. If she takes all the female disciples with her, it will be very inconvenient."

Zhao Yuannu's steps became more and more urgent. As he walked, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward:

"The place in front of us is a large open space used by our sisters and brothers to practice martial arts and hold daily meetings."

"After walking through the open space and walking a few dozen meters, you will reach the entrance of the cave."

"If we don't see a senior sister around here, I'm afraid something serious will happen in our sect."

Zhao Ji, who was walking on Zhao Yuannu's side, stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Yuannu's shoulder gently:

"Don't be anxious. Now that we are both free, we still have plenty of time."

"If you really can't find those senior sisters today, don't be afraid. At worst, I will accompany you to search for them tomorrow."

"I expect they will be found within a few days."

After Zhao Yuannu heard these words, his steps suddenly stopped.

When he slowly turned his head to look at Zhao Ji who was walking aside, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more gentle:

"Thank you."

Zhao Ji smiled calmly:

"You are my wife and one of the closest people to me in this world."

"Even if that's the case, why are you so polite to me anymore?"

Zhao Yuannu smiled shyly, then stretched out his hand, intertwined his fingers with Zhao Ji, and strode towards the open space in the distance.

But as soon as the two of them arrived near the open space, an extremely strange scene appeared in front of them.

But I saw that it was supposed to be a place for all the female disciples to practice martial arts with each other.

At this moment, it turned into a large area seeking death!

The young women were hanging their necks on the top of the stone top one by one.

Judging from the pale faces of those women, it was obvious that they had been dead for quite some time.

Counting from the front to the back, there are as many as 40 to [-] people!

Bursts of cold wind suddenly poured in from the entrance of the cave.

The hit on the body only caused goosebumps to appear on Zhao Ji's body one after another.

When Zhao Ji and Zhao Yuannu, who were standing here, suddenly saw such a scene, they couldn't help but were stunned.

Because this scene is really too weird.

For no reason, these thirty or forty women all hanged themselves here.

Along with the turbulence of the mountains, the dark wind swept past.

There was a chill in the backs of Zhao Ji and Zhao Yuannu.

I don’t know how long these two people were stunned.

Zhao Yuannu just cried sadly and rushed over.

As the junior sister of this sect, Zhao Yuannu is usually the most loved and loved by the senior sisters.

Whenever those senior sisters had any fun or delicious food in their hands, they would leave some for her, the little junior sister.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yuannu still can't forget this place even after seeing all the prosperity in Bianliang, Tokyo.

But now?

Those senior sisters who seemed to be Zhao Yuannu's closest relatives all hanged here one after another on the same day.

This couldn't help but make Zhao Yuannu's heart feel as if he was being cut by a knife. The pain was unbearable, but he could not vent it.

At this moment, he had no choice but to use his hands to touch the legs of the senior sisters.

But in the end, due to height issues, he was unable to rescue one person from it.

Zhao Ji, who was standing aside, could not help but feel heartbroken as he saw more and more tears on Zhao Yuannu's face.

So at this moment, he rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Yuannu, who was still confused, scared, sad, and in pain:

"Yuannu, you can't save them like this, let me help you."

As Zhao Ji spoke, he immediately hugged Zhao Yuannu's waist, then lifted him up and made him ride on his shoulders.

Although Zhao Yuannu was still quite resistant to this move in his heart, it also increased Zhao Yuannu's height invisibly.

Through his own efforts, he rescued a senior sister whose neck was hanging on top in a short while.

But at this moment, those women had been dead for a long time.

Even if Zhao Yuannu tried so hard to save, how could he save one person?

In this way, Zhao Ji carried Zhao Yuannu on his back and rescued the bodies of the women one by one from the top of the cave.

But among the women rescued by Zhao Yuannu, not one of them was alive.

All of them died of suffocation because their necks were strangled with hemp rope for too long.

At this time, Zhao Yuannu looked at the corpses of the senior sisters scattered on the ground with tears on his face.

The whole person was in great pain.

Keep crawling over, holding the arms of the senior sisters one after another, calling their names softly:

"Senior Sister Jinyi, Senior Sister Wanting, Senior Sister Yaqiu..."

"You guys, why are you so hard to think about?"

Zhao Ji stood in the distance, looking at Zhao Yuannu who was crying heartbrokenly, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Because he knew very well in his heart that the relationship between these people and Zhao Yuannu was just that of fellow disciples and sisters.

But after decades of getting along, they have become as close as a family.

But what about at this time?

In just one day, all the dozens of senior sisters were hanged here.

How could this make Zhao Yuannu, the younger sister, not sad?

Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but at the same time, he found many dark red blood stains on the wall on one side.

Zhao Ji felt a chill in his heart, and then hurried over.

What he saw before his eyes were several large characters written sparsely in blood:

"My dear, it's my mother who's sorry for you, it's my mother who's sorry for you!"
