Liang Yan realized almost instantly that one of the two monks in front of him must be Gou Qi in disguise!
"It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here!"
This surprise was really unexpected. Even though Liang Yan was as calm as he was, he was still slightly dazed at this time.
But he came back to his senses immediately and tried his best to suppress his emotions and prevent himself from showing anything strange.
The sensing range of the Black Lotus Sword is limited. Last time in the black market, Liang Yan sensed Gou Qi's sword only after the two of them entered the pavilion where Fatty Wang was.
In other words, the sensing range should not exceed five feet.
Just now Gou Qi was in the square under the stage, too far away from him, so Black Lotus Sword never responded, but they were so desperate that they actually invited Ying to come on stage and came in front of them, and only then were they discovered by Black Lotus Sword!
Since one of these two people is Gou Qi, then the other one is most likely the hawk-nosed old man.
The real Huiming and Huijue may have been eliminated by the two of them long ago, and then used their identities to hide in Luofeng Temple.
Gou Qi's disguise and concealment skills are not much worse than Liang Yan's. Liang Yan has "Eight Divisions of Evolution" in his possession, and his own insight is no less than that of ordinary monks in the Transformation Tribulation Realm. Even he can't see through it.
The hiding of the two people, let alone the host of the Tongxuan Realm of Luofeng Temple.
However, Liang Yan was not his original appearance at this time. He had changed his appearance along with everyone else in the car. Now he was a middle-aged man with a height of nine feet and a beard, so Gou Qi didn't recognize him.
.
The two people were able to hide each other from each other with their disguise skills. Originally, neither could detect the other, but Liang Yan had the Black Lotus Sword with him. As long as they were not far apart, he could detect the other, so he had the upper hand.
.
"No wonder there are no traces of them in Guangling City. It turns out that these two people have left long ago and have been hiding in Luofeng Temple." Liang Yan thought to himself.
After experiencing the initial surprise, his mind gradually became more active. Thinking of the holy energy of mountains and rivers promised to him by the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce, his heart couldn't help but feel hot.
But Liang Yan was not a reckless person. At this time, he did not immediately fall out and take action. Instead, he was secretly thinking about a question:
"The two of them are obviously being hunted. Since they have replaced Huijue and Huiming, why don't they just stay in the temple and be so high-profile and take the initiative to ask Ying to be the guide?"
This question was a bit intriguing. Liang Yan squinted his eyes and his mind raced rapidly.
"Is there something they want in the back mountain? They sneaked here not only to avoid pursuit, but also want to steal the treasures in the back mountain?"
Liang Yan thought about it a lot and found that this was the most reasonable explanation.
Although the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce acted ruthlessly and silenced all insiders except himself, Gou Qi was really too cautious!
Maybe this old dog really discovered the clues and saw through the "Holy Qi of Mountains and Rivers" scam.
When they left Guangling City, they probably completely gave up on the "Holy Qi of Mountains and Rivers", but the hawk-nosed old man's injuries were too serious. Without the "Holy Qi of Mountains and Rivers" to heal his injuries, they would have to find other methods.
The reason for being in Luofeng Temple is probably because there are medicinal materials in the back mountain that can slow down injuries.
It's just that because of the existence of the weird monks in the back mountain, even if they are good at disguise, they can't enter the forbidden area with arrogance.
So Xuanyuan Lingwei's trip is their only chance!
Liang Yan thought carefully and secretly calculated the causes and consequences of the two people in front of him. Although it was a long story, in reality it only lasted a moment.
At this time, Huiming and Huijue had just finished paying homage to Xuanyuan Lingwei. After getting the approval of the Sixth Princess, they stood in front of the girl, one on the left and the other on the right, as if they had already begun to play the role of "guide".
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind moved rapidly, his fingers moved in his sleeves, and finally he pressed down.
He did not choose to take action directly here.
The two of them, Gou Qi, killed the real Huiming and Huijue. Once the incident comes to light, no sect can let them leave alive. I am afraid that the weird monk in the back mountain will be alarmed by then.
This is definitely not what Liang Yan wants.
What Liang Yan wants is two living people. Only by keeping them in his hands can he use them as bargaining chips with the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce.
Now that I already know the true identities of these two people, I have plenty of opportunities. There is no need to do it in public, or it may expose my own affairs.
Moreover, Liang Yan was also a little curious. What was the plot of these two people who went all the way into the back mountain?
After thinking about this, Liang Yan did not rush to take action, but instead let the pretended "Huiming" and "Huijue" join the team.
At this time, Monk Jingru put his hands together, pronounced the Buddha's name, and said:
"These two people are my disciples, so I can feel relieved if they take His Highness to the back mountain."
"I, Xuanyuan Lingwei, will definitely remember Luofeng Temple's great help this time!" Xuanyuan Lingwei clasped her hands and said with a smile.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and then Huiming and Huijue led everyone away.
The group passed through the sect area of Luofeng Temple and soon walked out of the front mountain of Jiuyun Mountain and came to a steep forest.
There are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts here, as well as some local fairies. The ones with the highest cultivation level have already reached the Golden Core realm. And because Luofeng Temple does not care about the back mountain, most of the ferocious beasts and fairies here are extremely aggressive.
.
"No wonder Jingru is worried about Jingyuan coming alone and wants to send two third-generation disciples to escort him."
Liang Yan knew it in his heart, but although there were many beasts and fairies in this forest, they were not worth mentioning in their eyes. With Zishan alone, he quickly eliminated all the obstacles blocking the way.
Everyone walked through the forest and came to a winding mountain road.
This mountain road is extremely narrow and steep. From a distance, it looks like a slender thread leading straight into the clouds and mist, with no end in sight.
"This mountain road is called 'Qingyun Road' and goes straight up to 'Wangxianya'."
Young monk Jingyuan said at this time: "Wangxianya is the master's place of pure cultivation, and it is also the only entrance to the forbidden area in the back mountain. You can only enter with his permission."
"Then what are you waiting for? A section of mountain road will be here in an instant, let's go up there!"
Zishan's temper was the most impatient. At this moment, when he pinched the magic formula in his hand, his body began to light up with escape light.
However, the young monk Jingyuan said again: "You can't do it! There are restrictions set by Master on this mountain road. If you fly in the air, you will be attacked. You can only go up one step at a time."
"So troublesome?"
Yishu frowned, obviously impatient.
"Xiao Zi, don't mess around!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei scolded and said calmly: "Since these are the rules set by the seniors, we should abide by them, otherwise wouldn't it look like we are rude?"
"Yes" Yishu shrank his shoulders and helplessly pressed out the escape light on his body.
Xuanyuan Lingwei, as the daughter of a saint and of royal blood, did not show any pretense at this moment. She was the first to set foot on the steep mountain road in front of her and began to climb up step by step.
When the other people accompanying him saw this, they naturally had nothing to say and climbed up the stone stairs one after another.
The moment Liang Yan stepped onto the stone steps, he immediately felt a vague pressure.
This pressure was not there at the beginning, but as they walked more and more steps, the pressure became stronger and stronger. By the second half of the journey, this pressure had begun to overwhelm them.
Everyone was breathless.
Liang Yan felt strange. He looked around and found that everyone was panting except for two people.
One of them is naturally Fang Jun. He is a master of the Tribulation Realm. This kind of coercion cannot defeat him at all.
The other person was the young monk Jingyuan. From the moment he set foot on the mountain path, there was no sign of any abnormality in him. At this moment, he was still walking as fast as he could, and he didn't seem to be under any pressure at all.
"It seems that the weird monk from 'Wangxianya' did something to him. Only this child can go up the mountain freely. Anyone else, including the monks in Luofeng Temple, will be regarded as intruders. According to them
Their cultivation realms are under varying degrees of pressure."
Liang Yan secretly speculated that he himself was not greatly affected, but Xuanyuan Lingwei and others were not feeling well, especially Sun Qianli, who was sweating profusely and seemed a little unable to hold on.
Fang Jun obviously discovered this, and snorted coldly at this time, and said lightly: "It's just a strange trick. Do you think you can stop us by setting up such a mechanism?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a large brass cauldron flew out of his sleeve, releasing a large ray of light and covering the sky above everyone.
Covered by this ray of light, the pressure that was once a mountain was instantly dissipated, and everyone's expressions gradually improved.
"Thank you, Senior Fang, for taking the initiative!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei took a breath and thanked Fang Jun.
"Princess is so polite."
Fang Jun's tone was calm. He walked at the front of the crowd. When he heard the sixth princess's thanks, his expression did not change at all, and he did not even turn his head.
This person single-handedly resisted the pressure from everyone. Even Liang Yan secretly praised this method.
Under the cover of the big brass cauldron, everyone climbed up the stairs without any hindrance, and soon reached the top of the clouds and mist.
The place is surrounded by mist, with clouds on three sides, but the south side is surrounded by cliffs made of bluestone.
"This is Wangxianya. Just go over this cliff and go down to the forbidden area in the back mountain."
Young monk Jingyuan pointed to the valley to the east and introduced it to everyone.
"However, there are restrictions on the boundaries of the entire forbidden area. No one is allowed to set foot there, even our monks from Luofeng Temple are no exception. If you want to enter it, you must obtain the approval of my master."
After listening to Jingyuan's introduction, Xuanyuan Lingwei immediately asked: "Then where is your master now?"
"It's in the cave over there."
Jingyuan pointed his hand as he spoke, and everyone followed his gaze, and sure enough they discovered that there was a cave entrance about ten feet in size on the south wall of "Wangxianya".
"Senior is there?"
Xuanyuan Lingwei frowned, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
After boarding Wangxianya, she had secretly released her spiritual consciousness. Although she could not clearly see the appearance of the cave, she was sure that there was almost no spiritual energy flowing inside.
It is hard to imagine that a monk in the Tribulation Realm would retreat in such a spiritually deficient place.
But there is no need for Jingyuan to lie to himself. Since he said so, he should be inside.
Xuanyuan Lingwei tidied up her clothes, walked to the front of the cave, bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Old senior, junior Xuanyuan Lingwei is the daughter of the lord of Xuanyuan City. Today she wants to enter the forbidden area to capture a spiritual beast.
, please allow me, senior."
"To show my respect, I specially brought a meeting gift to the senior, which is Luo Tianshan's 'Heart-Quenching Pill'."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Liang Yan, Sun Qianli, Fang Jun and others all changed slightly. This "Heart-Quenching Pill" is not simple. According to legend, it can only be refined in a secret realm in Luotian Mountain. For the transformation of Buddhism,
Being a monk in the Tribulation Realm is of great benefit. It can not only improve your cultivation, but also stabilize your mind, which is very helpful in overcoming calamities such as inner demons.
"I didn't expect that Xuanyuan Lingwei actually had the 'Heart-Quenching Pill' in her hand, and she was willing to take it out. It seems that she really spent a lot of money this time. It's just a Rakshasa Demonic Cow. Is it worth the huge price she spent?
"
Although this doubt arose in Liang Yan's mind, it was impossible to ask it out at this time, so he just stood aside and watched the changes.
After Xuanyuan Lingwei finished speaking, Zheng Gongbu next to him stepped forward, took out a sandalwood box from his sleeve, and slowly opened it.
A refreshing aroma of elixir filled the air, and even if everyone did not practice Buddhism, they felt physically and mentally relaxed.
However, it was always quiet inside the cave, with no response at all.
"senior?"
Xuanyuan Lingwei frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
There was still no answer in the cave, only deep darkness. No one dared to probe too deeply with their spiritual consciousness. After all, there might be a senior in the Tribulation Realm inside, and no one dared to offend this person.
At this time, Jingyuan took a step forward and said softly: "Well, Master probably doesn't like outsiders. How about I go in with the elixir and see what he means?"
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Lingwei thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's fine, then I'll ask you, young master Lao. Please say a few kind words for me, senior, and I will thank you very much afterwards."
"good!"
Jingyuan nodded, stepped forward and took the elixir from Zheng Gongbu's hand, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked into the deep and dark cave.
Everyone was waiting outside the cave. After about half a cup of tea, they suddenly heard an angry shout coming from the cave, followed by an old voice from inside:
"You bastard, how dare you bring outsiders up the mountain to disturb my Qing Dynasty!"
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Lingwei hurriedly stepped forward, cupped her hands deep into the cave and said, "Senior, please calm down. Ling Wei has no intention of offending. This time, I just want to go into the mountain to capture a spiritual beast. I will leave immediately after that. I will never dare to disturb senior."
Clean up!"
The voice in the cave was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered and said:
"Hmph! That's nice to say, but it's a pity that I don't agree with you! For Jingyuan's sake, go back to wherever you came from, otherwise I won't blame you for being rude!"
