At the west end of Guangling City, next to a quiet street, there is a house with an extremely large area.
There are no high walls and red tiles here, only a small stream surrounding it. The stream has many branches, all flowing deep into the yard.
There is a thick fog surrounding the depths of the courtyard, and I don't know what kind of formation it is, but it can actually block the exploration of Tongxuan realm monks.
In the eyes of ordinary monks, this house is extremely mysterious, and they have no idea who its owner is. Only a handful of monks in Xuanyuan City know that this is an estate of the Sixth Princess Xuanyuan Lingwei, and is only used when receiving distinguished guests, or
I would only move here when discussing secret matters.
At this moment, a tall man wearing a cloak came outside the gate of the house.
The two monks at the door seemed to have been waiting for his arrival. They did not speak after meeting, they just bent down and saluted, then turned around and led him towards the inner courtyard.
After passing through several corridors and small bridges, the tall man came to an antique pavilion.
The two people who had led the way before retreated wisely.
There were only two people left in the quiet pavilion, one was a tall man who had arrived as promised, and the other was an exquisitely dressed woman in palace attire.
"Mr. Liang, you are impatient. I was about to send someone to invite you, but I didn't expect you to come here first." The woman in the pavilion smiled.
A chuckle came from the tall man's cloak, and then a hand pulled off the cloak, revealing the face underneath, it was Liang Yan!
"Liang came here uninvited today because he has something to ask His Highness for help."
When Liang Yan said this, he paused slightly and then continued: "But before that, I am a little curious. Is there anything you want to do when you send someone to invite me?"
"Sit down and talk."
Xuanyuan Lingwei stretched out her hand and pointed, dignified yet somewhat casually. Liang Yan nodded after hearing this and sat down as he was told.
"Remember what I told you about the Rakshasa Demonic Cow last time?"
"Are you fully prepared?" Liang Yan was slightly surprised.
"Yes, the trip to Jiuyun Mountain is approaching. I was about to send someone to invite Mr. Liang, but I didn't expect to receive your message in advance, so I simply arranged to meet Mr. Liang here."
Xuanyuan Lingwei smiled slightly and continued: "Can you tell me now the purpose of your trip?"
"I would like to ask you to help me investigate a person." Liang Yan said solemnly.
"who?"
"Commander of the 'Sky Fire Camp', Ningyang Xia!"
Hearing this name, Xuanyuan Lingwei's expression did not change much. She just looked at Liang Yan and asked in a calm tone: "Why do you want to investigate him?"
"Your Majesty, I don't need to worry about this."
Liang Yan shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.
"Your Highness just needs to help me find out why he purchased large quantities of the two medicinal materials 'Ghost Talk Flower' and 'Zhu Snake Fruit' in Guangling City, and who he gave these medicinal materials to afterward."
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Lingwei pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Commander of the Sky Fire Camp, that is directly under the command of General Tianwei. You are quite courageous, and you actually dare to find out about him."
Liang Yan's expression remained unchanged and he just smiled.
"If this matter is not difficult, Your Highness will not be troubled. I wonder if Your Highness can help me with this?"
"It's not impossible to help you investigate"
Xuanyuan Lingwei smiled and said: "It's just that you have to go to Jiuyun Mountain with me first and help me catch the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. As long as this goes well, I will use my connections in Xuanyuan's army to help you investigate Ningyang."
Xia’s trends.”
Liang Yan frowned after hearing this.
"When does Your Highness plan to leave for the trip to Jiuyun Mountain?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Liang Yan nodded this time, without any hesitation on his face.
"Since His Highness has said what he said, Liang will not hesitate and will go with you to Jiuyun Mountain first. I hope that after catching the Rakshasa Demon Cow, His Highness can fulfill his promise and help me pursue this matter with all his strength.
.”
The reason why he answered so simply was because he had his own considerations.
Eavesdropping outside the Taoist temple that day, Gou Qi and the old man Ying-nosed once mentioned "city lord" and "informant". Judging from the level of cultivation of these two people, this "city lord" must be one of the city lords of the seven mountains and twelve cities.
One, and it is absolutely impossible to be the city lord of Xuanyuan City.
They were obviously eager to go back and report someone, but they did not continue on their way. Instead, they took a detour to Xuanyuan Region and came to Guangling City, where the answer was ready to come out.
"With the hawk-nosed old man's injuries, he can't even return to the city at the moment!"
That's why they came to the place where the "Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference" was held, because they saw the gathering of merchants here and wanted to purchase as many life-extending medicinal materials as possible.
Judging from what was observed outside the Taoist temple that day, the eagle-nosed old man's injury had penetrated deep into his bones. The quantity of the 'Ghost Talk Flower' and 'Red Snake Fruit' sold by the Smell the Incense Chamber of Commerce was not enough.
If nothing else happens, Ningyang Xia will purchase these two medicinal materials from other chambers of commerce in the next few days.
In other words, I still have a few days left.
It's just that in the past few days, it was impossible to find out clearly by myself and the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce. Only by relying on the Sixth Princess Xuanyuan Lingwei and using her connections in the military to help investigate, could there be a slight possibility.
Liang Yan just thought about it slightly and thought about the whole thing in an instant. So when faced with Xuanyuan Lingwei's request, he didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Lingwei showed a hint of joy on her face, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liang, everyone in Xuanyuan City knows that I, Xuanyuan Lingwei, will never break my promise, as long as you help me get the Rakshasa Demonic Cow.
I will definitely help you investigate Ningyang Xia thoroughly."
"good!"
Liang Yan also showed a trace of satisfaction on his face.
In fact, he was also a little curious about why Xuanyuan Lingwei got the Rakshasa Demonic Cow.
Although this woman was well hidden, Liang Yan's "Eight Parts of Yanyuan" was so magical that he could still see some details about the other party.
He was almost certain that Xuanyuan Lingwei was not practicing lightning-based Taoism. If that was the case, why was he so interested in a thunder-based monster?
However, Liang Yan would not ask this question out loud. After all, Xuanyuan Lingwei did not inquire about his purpose. There was just a transaction between them. If he asked too many questions, it would inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion.
The two reached a consensus and seemed to be in a good mood. They each had a drink in the pavilion, and then heard Xuanyuan Lingwei speak again:
"Actually, Jiuyun Mountain is not an ownerless land. There is a sect on the mountain called 'Luofeng Temple'. These days, I have been sending people to contact the temple director and sent a lot of treasures. After many negotiations, I finally
With his approval, we were allowed to enter the forbidden area of Jiuyun Mountain and capture the Rakshasa Demonic Cow hiding there."
"Luofeng Temple?"
Liang Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
You must know that there are very few Buddhist sects in Antarctica. There is only one famous "Luotian Mountain". Apart from Luotian Mountain, there are no major Buddhist sects at all. What is the origin of this small Luofeng Temple? Xuanyuan Lingwei has to ask many times
Negotiate and get permission before going up the mountain?
"It seems that this Luofeng Temple is not a small sect." Liang Yan looked thoughtful.
"You are wrong about this." Xuanyuan Lingwei smiled slightly.
"Actually, the director of Luofeng Temple is just a monk in the early stage of Tongxuan, and his magical powers are average. Moreover, Luofeng Temple is not an ancient sect. The temple itself is not worthy of my Xuanyuan Ling.
Wei is so respectful."
"Oh? Is there something hidden in this?" Liang Yan asked with confusion.
"This matter has some twists and turns. The first abbot of Luofeng Temple was named Master Xuanqing. This person was just a wandering monk in the Golden Core realm. At that time, he took a fancy to the treasure land of Jiuyun Mountain and wanted to open a business here.
Zong established the sect, but he didn’t expect that there are already people living in this mountain.”
Xuanyuan Lingwei said slowly at this time:
"The man living in the mountain is also a monk, with a weird temper and profound magic power. Master Xuanqing knew that there was a huge difference in strength between the two, and was about to say goodbye and leave, but he did not expect that the man actually agreed to establish a sect in the mountain, and
Promise never to interfere."
"From that day on, the sect 'Luofeng Temple' was established on Jiuyun Mountain. As expected, the strange monk did not interfere. On the contrary, he promised to teach magical powers every thirty years."
"At that time, Master Xuanqing had an apprentice beside him. The two of them studied Buddhism from the eccentric monk. Unfortunately, Xuanqing's end was approaching and he was not qualified enough, so he was unable to break through the entrance and finally passed away in Jiuyun Mountain."
"But the disciple he accepted was extremely intelligent. After receiving the guidance of the eccentric monk, his cultivation progressed rapidly. He finally broke through the Mysterious Pass and became a master of the Mysterious. In his cultivation, he has surpassed Master Xuanqing, the founder of the sect."
"Today's Luofeng Temple is very prosperous, with eight hundred disciples, and the master of the temple is Master Xuanqing's disciple at that time, whose name is 'Jingru'. But there is an iron law in Luofeng Temple, and that is Cuiyun
No one can approach the forbidden area at the back of the mountain, because it is a place of cultivation for eccentric monks."
After listening to Xuanyuan Lingwei's description, Liang Yan pondered for a moment.
"There is such a thing in the past. So, isn't Jiuyun Mountain divided into two sections? The front mountain is under the control of Luofeng Temple, and the back mountain belongs only to that weird monk?"
When Liang Yan said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "If my guess is correct, is the Rakshasa Demonic Cow you are looking for located in the back mountain of Jiuyun Mountain?"
"good!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei nodded and said: "According to my tracking over the years, the strength of the Rakshasa Demon Bull should have reached the peak of Tongxuan. It sneaked into Jiuyun Mountain a few years ago and hid in the back mountain."
"Then the monks in the back mountain should have high levels of cultivation, right? Otherwise, why would you spend so much time negotiating with the people at Luofeng Temple?" Liang Yan asked again.
"indeed so."
Xuanyuan Lingwei said with a serious face:
"Although this weird monk has been living in seclusion in Jiuyun Mountain, judging from some events in the past, it is very likely that this person has entered the realm of catastrophe, and the reason why he is hiding in Jiuyun Mountain may be to cope with this catastrophe.
Even I must give due respect to a strong man of this level and not trespass rashly."
"Understood."
Liang Yan nodded. After listening to what Xuanyuan Lingwei said, he finally understood a little bit.
This trip to Jiuyun Mountain is definitely not just about dealing with the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. At the critical moment, I am afraid that I will have to act as her bodyguard.
Xuanyuan Lingwei is a meticulous and thoughtful person. That night, she was hunted down by the Confucian God General. She had no choice but to use several trump cards. Although she finally escaped calmly with the cover of the Princess Palace, Xuanyuan Lingwei's keen sense of smell
, he should also have guessed some of his own strength.
In her mind, she probably already regards herself as the number one person among the divine generals.
Knowing that there might be monks in the Tribulation Realm stationed on Jiuyun Mountain, Xuanyuan Lingwei also wanted to find a helper for herself, so that if the negotiations failed, she could at least retreat safely.
"Why don't you send some divine generals to help?" Liang Yan was silent for a while and then suddenly asked.
"Young Master Liang thinks too simply. Although I am the princess, the twelve divine generals are important weapons of the country. I usually only listen to my father's orders. Even when I meet the prince and grandson, I don't have to show any courtesy. On the contrary, I
We must treat them with great respect and dispatch them wherever we can."
When Xuanyuan Lingwei said this, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and she slowly said: "Among the twelve divine generals, only Divine General Wu An is willing to give me some favor, but he is not in Guangling City now.
, and the government is controlled by the second brother, if I rashly transfer General Wu An, I am afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the second brother."
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded, his heart clear.
Although Xuanyuan Lingwei has many subordinates, the master who can take charge is not around, so he looks for an "outsider" like himself to help.
"Besides me, does Your Highness have any other helpers?"
"There is also Sun Qianli. There is also a master of the Tribulation Realm in the family chamber of commerce he took over. Then we will rely on the two of us to work together!" Xuanyuan Lingwei said with a smile.
Liang Yan also felt relieved when he heard that there was a helper in the Tribulation Realm.
Although he thinks that his current strength has far exceeded the level of Tongxuan Realm, after all, he has never fought a life-and-death battle with a monk in the Transformation Tribulation Realm, so he cannot be sure to what extent his strength has reached.
According to Liang Yan's estimation, he should be able to fight against the monks who have overcome the first difficulty. As for whether he can defeat the monks who have overcome the second difficulty, it is hard to say.
Moreover, this kind of fight must be done when he has exhausted all his cards, and when it comes to that point, either you die or I die. This is obviously not what Liang Yan wants to happen.
Liang Yan was of course happy to hear that there was a monk who was in the Tribulation Realm traveling with him. When the time came, this person would come forward. He only needed to help him secretly, and that was enough.
"Okay, this matter has been settled. Tomorrow morning, Liang will definitely come for the appointment." Liang Yan now had no problem, stood up and cupped his hands.
"Then Ling Wei thanks Mr. Liang a lot. We'll see you on the slope ten miles outside the city tomorrow morning!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei stood up and returned the gift, then clapped her hands. Immediately, servants walked out of the thick fog and sent Liang Yan out of Zuixiang Pavilion.
