Liang Yan used a bamboo stick to climb the ladder to the Fengxi Yunying Pavilion.
In the attic, there are actually mountains, rivers and lakes, stars and rivers swirling around, clouds lingering all around, and jade ponds in the distance. At a glance, it seems like thousands of miles of mist, like a dream.
Beside the Yaochi, there is a figure standing.
This person had his back to Liang Yan and was wearing a clean set of Confucian robes. Although he was dressed very casually, the scenery of the entire attic seemed to be focused around this person, as if he was the sole master of this world.
"The master of Bihai Palace, Liang Yan, has met the master of Linghu City!"
Liang Yan saluted from a distance and said respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Linghu Bai didn't even turn his head, only responded faintly, and the voice came through the clouds and mist, seeming to be far away but still close, and actually had an unreal hazy feeling.
The two of them were silent for a moment, and finally Liang Yan was the first to speak: "Thank you, senior, for giving me this opportunity! Liang's ability to achieve Tongxuan is all due to the help of senior."
"No need to thank me."
Linghu Bai suddenly chuckled and said lightly: "I just gave you a chance. Whether you can achieve Tongxuan or not is not in my calculation. If your body can withstand the attack of the eight masters,
By robbing, you can naturally make great progress in your cultivation, but if you can't stand it, I can still take out the reincarnation seal from your body after you die. So no matter what your outcome is, it will not affect my plan."
When Liang Yan heard what he said, his face was calm and he was not surprised at all.
In other words, this is the kind of person Linghu Bai is. He is not a vicious person, but he does not have the slightest sense of mercy. The biggest principle this person pursues is equal exchange.
He can give you various opportunities and benefits, but at the same time there are corresponding risks. Both parties are just getting what they need. If Liang Yan did not refine the heavenly machine box at that time, and his body was broken into pieces by the eight masters as a battlefield, then now
There would be another ending.
When dealing with this kind of people, you have to be careful at all times!
However, Liang Yan is still a little lucky now, because he at least knows one thing, that is, although Linghu Bai can see through the Juetian Daoji and Nine Turns Golden Pill in his body, he does not know the existence of the Tianji Pearl!
The reason why he was able to withstand the competition among the eight masters was, firstly, because the power of the Tianji Pearl had refined his physical body, and secondly, because the eight masters were seriously injured by Shen Lingtian and were still fighting among themselves.
Otherwise, given his current level of cultivation, he would most likely explode and die.
Since Linghu Bai said what he just said, it proved that he did not know the Tianji Pearl in Liang Yan's body, nor did he know the relationship between the Tianji Pearl and the Tianji Box.
"The Secret Treasure of the Origin. It seems not simple. It even hid it from the Saint!"
Thinking of the magical effect of the Tianji Pearl, Liang Yan's heart was so hot that he actually had an urge to ask Linghu Bai what the Origin Secret Treasure was.
But then he thought about it, wasn't he throwing himself into a trap? Liang Yan secretly laughed in his heart and suppressed the thought again.
"You don't have to think too much. After this incident, you are already the master of my Bihai Palace. No one in the Wushuang Domain will dare to touch you from now on!"
Linghu Bai turned around as he spoke, looked at Liang Yan and said: "If there are any blind sects or aristocratic families who dare to play dirty tricks behind their backs, I allow you to use the power of Wushuang City to cut off their foundations, destroy their orthodoxy, and let these
The power is gone forever!”
Although these words were spoken softly, they were full of momentum. Even if he did not use any magic power and simply said it from his mouth, there was still a domineering power sweeping over him.
Liang Yan felt a chill in his heart and said to himself, "He is indeed a saint from the hegemonic lineage of Confucianism!".
He knew that the reason why the other party said this was to give him reassurance. Even if he had sucked the luck of the eight major sects, as long as Linghu Bai was around, these sects would not dare to do anything to him.
"Thank you City Lord!"
Liang Yan bowed and saluted, then raised his head, only to see a birdcage floating behind him on the shore of Yaochi.
Look at the small world in the birdcage, but there are thousands of miles of volcanoes, thousands of feet of frost, sometimes lava erupts, sometimes the sky is freezing, sometimes the wind is howling, sometimes the poisonous gas is filled.
It’s a complete scene of purgatory!
And in such purgatory, there is actually a little man in blue, who is tied to a red-hot copper pillar, his eyes are slightly closed, and he looks like he has been unconscious for a long time.
"Lin Yueque!"
Although it had shrunk countless times, Liang Yan still recognized the person in the cage at first sight.
"Hmph, this person colluded with Gu King Mountain and betrayed Wushuang City, which is a big taboo of mine. If it weren't for his past merits, he would have been beaten to death by me long ago!"
Linghu Bai coldly snorted: "However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. He must be punished in my bird cage for five hundred years, and then his body will be destroyed, and only his soul will be allowed to re-enter the reincarnation."
.”
"Reincarnation."
After listening to Linghu Bai's words, Liang Yan murmured to himself and couldn't help but ask: "City Lord Linghu, is there really reincarnation in this world? What is the so-called underworld?"
"Of course there is reincarnation." Linghu Bai said with great certainty: "In fact, reincarnation is also one of the laws of heaven. As long as we do not ascend to immortality for a day, even saints like us must be bound by the laws of reincarnation. As for the underworld, it involves
The origin of a world cannot be understood by you now."
"Then after I die, can my soul really be reborn?" Liang Yan asked again.
"As long as the soul enters the underworld and enters reincarnation, it can naturally be reborn."
Linghu Bai said lightly: "It's just that after death, the luck of this life will dissipate from the body and return to the world. This can be regarded as a kind of feedback to the way of heaven. Even if you have great supernatural powers and great means,
A monk can only retain a little bit of qualifications after rebirth, and is only a little better than ordinary people."
"As for whether you can practice cultivation after reincarnation, it is completely unknown. If you do not achieve the true fruition in the second life, by the third life, that little bit of true spirit will have completely dissipated, and it will be no different from all living beings in the reincarnation.
, I can’t even tell whether he will be a human or an animal after reincarnation.”
"The way of reincarnation turns out to be like this, Liang has been taught!"
Liang Yan nodded slightly, and then sighed: "Mortals can still enter reincarnation after being killed by swords and weapons, but those of us who are cultivators, as long as we reach the golden elixir level or above, we can break up the opponent's spirit in a fight.
, when that little bit of true spirit disappears forever, there will be no such person in heaven and earth!"
Linghu Bai looked at his face and knew that Liang Yan had just heard the Tao of reincarnation, and there was an imperceptible crack in his Taoist heart. He immediately laughed and said loudly:
"Confused! The way to practice is to overcome all difficulties and move forward. If others want to kill me, I will kill them first! If I can't reach the extreme realm in this life, will I be like a pig or a dog in the next life?"
Linghu Bai's words were so shocking that Liang Yan felt like he was given a slap in the face, and the crack in Tao's heart was completely eliminated.
"The saint preached, and the results were extraordinary!"
Liang Yan looked respectful and bowed to Linghu Bai sincerely.
"Isn't that why you came here today to ask these questions?"
At this time, Linghu Bai smiled slightly and said: "I know you have doubts, and I also know that you will come here to find me, but I can only answer you three questions. You can think about it before asking."
"this"
Liang Yan frowned slightly and thought secretly in his heart for a long time before he said: "Well, the first question for this junior is: What is the relationship between Lord Linghu and that senior? Why doesn't he just tell the reincarnation directly?
The seal is delivered to you, but is it delivered through me?"
The "seniors" he refers to naturally refer to the old monk in yellow who was suppressed under the Jiuqu Yellow River Pagoda.
As soon as this question came out, the surroundings suddenly stopped. Although Linghu Bai was still standing where he was, he seemed to be separated from him by thousands of mountains and rivers. The haze curled up in the middle, and even his face was a little unclear.
But Liang Yan had a feeling that the other party's face was a little gloomy.
This strange silence lasted for half a cup of tea. Suddenly, Linghu Bai broke the silence, and his voice came from behind the curling clouds: "If anyone else had asked me this question, I would have killed him with one palm of my hand.
You are the only exception."
"The monk you know has an alliance with me. As for why he asked you to deliver this reincarnation seal, there is only one reason, and that is your body of the living dead!"
"The living dead?"
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and asked subconsciously: "What does this have to do with the reincarnation seal?"
Linghu Bai smiled and said: "The living dead can jump out of reincarnation and serve as the container for the reincarnation seal. But the most important thing is that as a living dead, no one can guess everything related to you!"
When Liang Yan heard this, his heart moved and he vaguely guessed something.
The old monk in yellow and Linghu Bai may be plotting something more than just a Gu King Mountain, and the two saints seem to have other fears, so they can only act in secret and do not dare to do it openly.
Although he has not been practicing Taoism for a long time, he has been wandering around for a long time. He understands that the more you know about some things, the better. If you know too many things that are beyond your cultivation level, not only will there be no benefit at all, but it will lead to killing.
disaster.
Liang Yan's mind was spinning, and he understood that asking this matter had already reached the limit. If he went further, even if Linghu Bai was willing to say it, he might not dare to listen.
He was silent for a moment, and did not ask about the origin of the old monk in yellow. He used the remaining two opportunities to ask questions on matters related to himself.
"Second question: What is the origin of "Dance of Fish and Dragon" and why should it be taught to me?"
""Fish and Dragon Dance" was created by Wen Lanfei, the first palace lord of Bihai Palace. He experienced three disasters and nine disasters, and finally became a saint and became the lord of Wushuang City at that time. Later, due to some reasons,
Wen Lanfei left the Antarctic Fairy Continent, but this "Fish and Dragon Dance" has been passed down."
Linghu Bai said lightly: "As for why I taught it to you, it's because I want you to serve as bait for me to test whether there are any traitors in Bihai Palace. Moreover, the previous palace owner of Bihai Palace had made an agreement with me. If he were to
When death is over, I can preach on his behalf."
After listening to his words, Liang Yan nodded slightly and said: "I see, no wonder this technique is so profound and profound. It turns out that it was created by a saint and can directly point to the great road!"
"Haha, if you want to become a saint, you can't do it with just one exercise."
Linghu Bai smiled faintly and said: "You must know that the human race has thousands of techniques and hundreds of schools of thought contend. Even these top sects will not think that the techniques they have inherited are weak, but how many people are there who have become saints?"
Liang Yan knew that what he said was true. Looking at the entire Antarctic Continent, the vast territory was vast and boundless, but there were only about twenty monks who could become saints.
Before becoming a saint, there were three disasters and nine disasters. Everyone was walking on thin ice, and no one dared to say that he would be able to survive it.
Liang Yan thought for a while and then asked his third question, which was also the question he was most concerned about:
"Senior Linghu, when I was practicing the first level of "Fish and Dragon Dance", an extremely subtle spiritual power was generated in the meridians in my body. This spiritual power seemed to have its own consciousness. Does Senior Linghu know why this is?
?”
"Dance of Fishes and Dragons" is so profound and mysterious that even with Liang Yan's qualifications and foundation, he still had only a partial understanding of it. After thinking for a long time, he still used the opportunity to ask questions here for the third time.
Although Linghu Bai did not major in swordsmanship, as a Confucian saint, his vision and knowledge must be much better than his own, and he might know the reason for this.
Sure enough, after hearing his question, Linghu Bai showed a smile on his face and said lightly: "As a sword cultivator, you have gone through a lot of hardships to cultivate the sword pill, but you know that the next journey of sword cultivation will be complicated.
What’s the scene like?”
"This junior doesn't know, please ask the senior to clarify his doubts!" Liang Yan cupped his hands and said.
"hehe!"
Linghu Bai smiled softly and moved his right hand forward. The surrounding clouds and fog dispersed, and only his voice was heard loudly:
"There are three types of sword cultivators in the world. Those of the lower grade refine their weapons, those of the middle grade cultivate their bodies, and those of the upper grade combine the Tao! The first three realms of sword cultivation: the sword embryo stage, the sword gang stage, and the sword pill stage are all about refining weapons.
In the eyes of masters, it is only a small path. But starting from the fourth realm is the stage of self-cultivation!"
Liang Yan was moved when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "What is the fourth realm of sword cultivation?"
"This is the 'Sword Infant Realm'!"
"Sword baby?"
"Yes, take the spirit of the refined sword pills, gather the essence of the five elements of heaven and earth, combine it with your own swordsmanship, blend the innate Qi of creation, and condense it into a baby. It is a 'sword baby'!" Linghu Bai said slowly.
"So. Could it be that the little bit of spiritual power in my body is related to the 'Sword Infant'?"
"exactly!"
Linghu Bai smiled and said: "The little bit of spiritual power in your body is the result of practicing the "Fish and Dragon Dance" technique and extracting your own swordsmanship. It is also the prototype of the 'Sword Baby'!"
"Because your foundation in swordsmanship is extremely deep, the process of condensing the prototype of the Sword Infant was very smooth. In just five years, you have completed the first level of "Fish and Dragon Dance". But if you want to practice the subsequent skills, even
For the success of 'Sword Infant', the four conditions I just mentioned are indispensable!"
Linghu Bai's words made Liang Yan suddenly enlightened.
"No wonder after I mastered the first level of skills, it became very difficult for me to practice further. It turned out to be because these things were not written in "Fish and Dragon Dance"!" Liang Yan suddenly thought in his heart.
