Chapter 1977 Finding a Clue
Lu Zhaoling frowned.
Nanshao.
Eight Directions Cliff.
Is this the name of a cliff?
Weng Songzhi remembered and immediately shook his head, saying, "No. Although it is indeed a cliff, Bafang Cliff is not the name of the place, but the name of a sect."
"A sect?"
"Calling it a sect is not quite accurate; it should be understood as an organization."
Yin Changxing had been frowning and thinking, and now that he heard him say that, he remembered it too.
"Eight Directions Cliff, gathers treasures from all directions, accumulates wealth from all directions, and stabilizes souls from all directions?" he recited.
Weng Songzhi nodded, "Yes, Senior Brother remembered too?"
Lu Zhaoling was bewildered.
Rong Jingjing was also confused.
"When I heard Qian Dingxing say that, I thought it really was the name of that mountain, but it turns out it wasn't?"
"It can be called Bafanglou (Eight Directions Pavilion). However, because the place covers a large area and is not just one pavilion, and because it is built on the top of a cliff, people simply call it Bafangya (Eight Directions Cliff)."
Weng Songzhi said, "Actually, it's an organization, and a very wealthy one at that. They can collect all sorts of rare items and medicines from all over the world, and of course, you can go there to buy what you need."
"Then what does Master mean by 'stabilizing the eight directions of the soul'?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
She could understand things like "treasures from all directions" and "wealth from all directions."
It's a place where you can make money.
It's roughly the size of a shop like Jibaozhai, but expanded ten or a hundred times.
However, the idea of "stabilizing the souls of all eight directions" sounds a bit too arrogant.
"I heard there's a small building at Bafang Cliff. If someone has a strange illness like loss of soul, they can go to the building and meditate for a while and they'll get better."
Weng Songzhi added, "Some people say they were frightened or have other dream disorders, and they can also try it. I've heard that many patients have recovered after going to Bafang Cliff."
Rong Jingjing was surprised, "That amazing?"
"Its reputation is quite impressive. However, the Eight Directions Cliff was at its most famous after the First Profound Sect had already encountered trouble, so its reputation is after the First Profound Sect."
Yin Changxing said, "So although we've heard of this place, we've never been there or investigated it ourselves."
Because at that time, their First Mystic Sect was already facing a series of problems.
By the time word of Bafang Cliff's fame spread, they were almost too busy to care about anything else.
"Has Bafang Cliff existed for so long?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
Rong Jingjing said, "Several masters said that Bafang Cliff had actually been dormant for many years, and it has only become popular again in the last ten years or so."
More than ten years.
Lu Zhaoling looked at Rong Jingjing and asked, "Why did the masters mention this Eight Directions Cliff?"
“They said that recently a lot of powerful magical artifacts have appeared at Bafang Cliff, as well as relics of some masters,” Rong Jingjing said. “When the masters were chatting, their attention was focused on the relics, as if they wanted to go to Bafang Cliff to obtain them.”
Relics...
Not surprising then.
Therefore, the masters had no doubts or concerns about Bafang Cliff; they went there for the relics.
But Qian Dingxing...
"Did Qian Dingxing mention anything strange about the Eight Directions Cliff?"
“He didn’t say.” Rong Jingjing shook her head.
“I’ll ask him again this afternoon,” Lu Zhaoling said.
Upon hearing her say that, Yin Changxing immediately looked up at her, "You want to see him again this afternoon?"
“Yes, let’s not delay any longer, shall we?” Lu Zhaoling sat up straight. “Master, can you look at me? I’m really alright.”
"Is it because you saw Shi Yue?" Yin Changxing asked her.
Lu Zhaoling knew that her master would still ask.
She sighed.
"Yes."
Weng Songzhi's eyes flashed. Looking at her, it seemed that Zhou Shiyue had not yet told Xiao Ling'er what he had said.
However, he believed that Zhou Shiyue did not intentionally keep it from Xiaoling'er, because he had said that he would tell Xiaoling'er sooner or later.
Lu Zhaoling then repeated what she had told Zhou Shiyue to her master and the others.
Fortunately, there was soy milk; she was thirsty from talking about it.
If I had known, she would have waited until everyone was there before saying it, instead of repeating it twice.
Lu Zhaoling sighed and thought to herself.
After hearing her words, Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi exchanged a glance.
Neither of them expected that this time, Lu Zhaoling would be almost certain of Zhou Shiyue's past life.
Moreover, no one expected that Zhou Shiyue's past life was related to Qian Dingxing.
Moreover, the cause and effect are not insignificant.
"From this perspective, Qian Dingxing must have encountered someone who caused him to have such a fate," Yin Changxing said.
He told Lu Zhaoling what Qian Dingxing had said, that he had also encountered Yama back then.
Lu Zhaoling exclaimed in surprise, "So, King Yama has seen them too? Could King Yama know that former king with a different surname?"
Otherwise, why would he appear there by opening the gates of hell?
Could it be that he went to the battlefield to meet that king of a different surname?
Also, Du Bing's soldiers and their ghosts appeared after opening the Ghost Gate, but the one who opened the Ghost Gate was hiding in the shadows, and she hadn't yet figured out who or what kind of ghost it was.
Could that be Lu Ming's enemy?
If that's the case, could it be that Yama was also injured because he was dealing with that guy?
At this moment, the master and his disciples all felt as if they were about to grasp some clues.
But when you really try to understand it, you feel there are still many mysteries.
The group fell silent for a moment.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
Qingyin and the others waited outside, not hearing any sounds from inside, which was a bit strange. They peeked out and saw that they all looked thoughtful.
The princess was still resting her chin on her hand, seemingly deep in thought.
"They're working so hard," Qingbao couldn't help but whisper to Qingyin. "They have so many things to think about and do, and so many people to save."
The First Mysterious Sect is really too tough.
Moreover, the princess has just been injured, so this can hardly be considered a real rest. She may have slept, but once she wakes up, her mind will be constantly racing.
“Yes, they are all people who do great things.” Qingyin nodded as well. “Tell the kitchen staff to make chicken soup for the princess so she can have some nourishment. She has lost so much weight.”
"Uh-huh."
The two maids were there, feeling sorry for Lu Zhaoling, but Lu Zhaoling was unaware of it.
She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she simply slammed her hand on the table and said, "Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's find some time to go to Yunnan!"
As soon as she said that, everyone looked at her.
"To Yunnan?"
Rong Jingjing said, "Senior Sister, I thought we were going to Bafang Cliff in Nanzhao."
“I’ve always wanted to go to Nanzhao,” Lu Zhaoling said helplessly, “but I’ve been too busy to go. Now that we know there are people from Bafangya in Yunbei, let’s go and meet them!”
If the black umbrella was brought by them, could there be someone who has absorbed the power of the King of Hell?
