“Without further delay, let’s start taking action.”
As Liang Yan spoke, he took the jade stones on the ground into his hands, injected his own spiritual power into each piece, then divided the jade stones into four parts and placed them in four more conspicuous positions.
After placing the jade stones, Liang Yan set up traps and restrictions around the open space. As long as a living creature approaches, these traps will be activated immediately, forming a prison to trap the prey inside.
The Enlightenment Beast is a legendary spiritual beast that is very mysterious. Even Gu Xingyun and Qingqing don't know its level of cultivation.
The traps set by Liang Yan could only trap spiritual beasts in the Golden Core realm. To be on the safe side, he left a spiritual imprint on every piece of jade, just in case the enlightened beast had strength above the Golden Core and escaped from his trap.
, you can also trace the past by following the spiritual marks.
"The trap has been set, but we can't just wait and see."
Liang Yan glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "From now on, our troops will be divided into two groups to search for traces of the enlightened beast. The two of you together, as soon as you find anything, send a signal to me immediately."
"good!"
Gu Xingyun and Qingqing both nodded.
Liang Yan gave the two of them a Bagua Mirror. As long as spiritual power was injected into it, he would be able to receive the news.
After explaining some things, the three of them separated. Liang Yan went east, Gu Xingyun and Qingqing went west, and began to carefully search the entire Yunzhong Mountain.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye it was the early morning of the next day.
Liang Yan was alone, let go of his consciousness, and searched carefully for a whole day. In the process, he encountered many precious spiritual beasts, but unfortunately none of them matched Qing Qing's description of enlightened beasts.
There was not even a trace of the activity of this spiritual beast.
"Do spiritual beasts that bring good luck really exist in the world?" Liang Yan's face showed a hint of amusement. In his heart, this was just a mythical legend, and Qingqing's wish was destined not to come true.
But it didn't matter, the only condition he agreed to was to take her to the top of the mountain. If he still couldn't find the Enlightenment Beast in the meantime, then the mission would be considered completed.
Just as he was thinking about it, his waist suddenly vibrated. Liang Yan looked down and found that it was his Bagua Mirror.
"Huh? Did Gu Xingyun really find something there?"
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, without hesitation, he took up a ray of light, flew close to the surface of the mountain, and quickly returned to his previous position.
Looking from a distance, Gu Xingyun and Qingqing were already waiting here, but both of them looked a little disappointed, and they didn't look like they had caught the enlightened beast.
Liang Yan pressed down the escape light, landed in front of the two of them, and asked, "How? Did you find the trace of the enlightened beast?"
"Report to Master."
Gu Xingyun took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Master, we haven't found any trace of the enlightened beast yet, but the trap you left has been triggered."
"You mean, by 'people'?" Liang Yan quickly found the point.
"Well, it's not a spiritual beast, but a monk." Gu Xingyun nodded.
After hearing this, Liang Yan had a look of surprise on his face.
"Didn't you say that the Baisheng tribe has sealed off Yunzhong Mountain? There are actually other monks besides us?"
"I'm also surprised, so I sent a signal to Master to come back and see how to deal with this person." Gu Xingyun said slowly.
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded, his face returned to calmness, he sensed it for a while, and walked towards one of the four traps.
After a while, the three of them had arrived at the open space where the jade was placed.
In the middle of the clearing, there was a wretched old man with a white beard and a shiny face. He was hanging upside down from the treetop by a silk thread condensed by spiritual power. There was a spiritual cage around him, locking him tightly inside.
The old man's cultivation was the same as that of Gu Xingyun, he was in the early stage of the Golden Elixir. Because he was locked in a cage and hung upside down on a tree, he was looking sad and sighing.
Seeing the arrival of Liang Yan and others, the old man immediately opened his eyes wide and begged loudly:
"Fellow Taoist, have mercy on me, friend Taoist, have mercy on me! The little old man is obsessed with money. He didn't know that this was a trap set up by fellow Taoist, so he accidentally broke into the formation. I also ask fellow Taoist, for the sake of the friendship between the hundreds of tribes, to treat the little old man
Let’s open up the children’s net.”
Liang Yan ignored him. After looking at him carefully for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Who are you and which tribe do you come from?"
"The little old man's name is Li Banchi, and he is a monk from the Baisheng clan."
"Bai Sheng clan?"
Liang Yan frowned, looking unconvinced.
"Isn't the Baisheng tribe holding an Earth Spirit Conference? Why don't you go to participate? Moreover, Yunzhongshan has been sealed off for a long time. How did you get in?"
After hearing this, the old man smiled bitterly and replied: "The little old man is indeed a monk of the Baisheng tribe. The reason why I did not go to the Earth Spirit Conference is because I went wrong in my practice, which led to me going crazy. It is impossible to be in the totem."
Did you enlighten me to some magical power?"
"Obsessed?" Gu Xingyun raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "This is really rare. The magic powers of the Langhuan tribe are all learned from the totems. It can be said that they are the most suitable skills for their cultivation.
There are very few people who go crazy when it comes to magic. Although there have been a few in history, those people have all figured out extremely powerful secret techniques, and then they were eager for quick success and forced breakthroughs. The total number of these people probably does not exceed
Count it with both hands, right?"
After hearing this, Qingqing's eyes lit up, she looked at the old man hanging upside down on the treetop, and said with a smile: "If you put it this way, aren't you a peerless genius? Come on, tell me, what unique skills have you mastered that will make us all
Open your horizons?"
Faced with Qing Qing's teasing, Li Banzi's bitter smile became even stronger, and he sighed: "This little old man has mediocre qualifications, so how could he be a peerless genius? The reason why I became obsessed was not because I understood the totems of my clan.
What powerful secret technique, but rather?”
Seeing that Li Banchi was about to speak but hesitated, Liang Yan couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "Why on earth, come here quickly, don't hide anything!"
"well!"
Li Ban Lai sighed and said: "It's not because of my natal spiritual beast! This enemy actually mutated at the critical moment of my breakthrough, causing me to make mistakes in my performance, and finally went crazy!"
"Mutation?" Liang Yan frowned and looked at Gu Xingyun aside.
The latter immediately understood and secretly transmitted the message: "The skills of the hundreds of tribes are different. The Baisheng tribe mainly controls beasts. I don't know their details, but I have heard of the mutation of spiritual beasts.
It is said that when a beast-controlling monk makes a breakthrough, he needs the help of the soul of his own spiritual beast. If the spiritual beast mutates at this time, it may indeed cause him to become possessed."
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Li Banchan again.
"Where is your mutated spiritual beast? Call it out and show it to me."
"this."
There was a hint of embarrassment on Li Ban Lai's face, and he shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want fellow Taoists to see it, it's just that it's not with me now."
"Do you think I'm easy to fool?" Liang Yan said coldly.
"No no!"
Li Banchi waved his hands repeatedly and shouted: "Fellow Taoist believe me, everything I say is true. In fact, the reason why the little old man was able to sneak into Yunzhong Mountain was because of the ability of my mutated spiritual beast."
"My natal spirit beast is called 'Kongkong Beast', and it is usually clever. But I didn't expect that at the critical moment of my breakthrough, this enemy would mutate, causing me to go crazy. Afterwards, I checked carefully and found that it had an extra
A special ability, that is, the ability to exchange places with the master who is connected to his destiny."
"oh?"
When Liang Yan, Gu Xingyun, and Qingqing heard this, they all became interested and signaled him with their eyes to continue.
Li Ban Lai coughed and continued: "This ability sounds a bit useless, but what the 'Kong Kong Beast' is best at is hiding its traces and breaking restrictions. With this special ability, as long as it can go, I can also
go."
"At that time, I had gone crazy and urgently needed some medicinal materials from Yunzhongshan to cure my injuries. However, this half month was our Baisheng Tribe's Earth Spirit Conference, and Yunzhongshan was sealed off. In desperation, I used '
I have the power of Kong Kong Beast to sneak into the mountains and pick some elixirs I need here."
"So that's it." After hearing this, Gu Xingyun and Qingqing had a look of surprise on their faces, and at the same time they felt some sympathy for Li Banchi.
But Liang Yan didn't trust him. He thought for a moment and said, "You are a monk from the Bai Sheng clan. Since you have gone crazy, why didn't you tell your clan leader? Could it be that your clan leader would not save you and just watched you go crazy?"
Even if you become a demon, you won’t be allowed to go up the mountain?”
"What fellow Taoists from the Stone Spirit Clan don't know? In our Baisheng Clan, mutation of spiritual beasts is a taboo! Once the clan leader finds out, my stupid 'Kong Kong Beast' will only die! This little old man
Although my natal spirit beast cannot be said to be very powerful, it has been with me day and night for so many years and I have developed feelings for it. I really couldn’t bear to see it executed, so I sneaked into the mountains secretly."
"I think I've heard of this."
Gu Xingyun said at this time: "It is said that the method of controlling the beast requires connecting part of one's soul with the natal spirit beast. If the natal spirit beast mutates, it is likely to affect its owner. In history, there were people who had temperaments because of this.
There has been a big change, and it has become bloodthirsty and easy to kill. Therefore, the Baisheng tribe has made a rule that if one's own spiritual beast mutates, the spiritual beast must be killed and then find a new spiritual beast to tame."
After listening to Gu Xingyun's explanation, Liang Yan was still unconvinced.
But he did not continue to hang Li Banqi. Instead, he raised his hand and cast a spell to open the cage made of condensed spiritual power, and released the old man of the Baisheng tribe.
After Li Bankai regained his freedom, he smiled with a smile on his face, cupped his hands to Liang Yan and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, thank you so much, fellow Taoist! Fellow Taoist, great blessings have reached the sky, and the immortal road is prosperous! I won't hinder your eyes here, little old man."
Disappear now."
As he spoke, he backed away, walked to the edge of the open space, turned around, and wanted to leave.
However, he had just taken steps when he heard a cold voice coming from behind him:
"I didn't say let you go."
Hearing these words, the corners of Li Ban Lai's mouth twitched and his steps froze in place.
The next moment, he turned around, bowed to Liang Yan, and said with a smile: "Do you have any other instructions, fellow Taoist?"
"Aren't you injured?" Liang Yan smiled half-heartedly and said casually: "I happen to have a friend here who is good at healing injuries. Qingqing, go check on him. Is he really crazy?"
"good."
Although Qingqing is innocent and cute, she is not stupid, and of course she understands what Liang Yan means.
After walking to Li Banchan's side, Qingqing stretched out a hand, pressed it on the other person's back, and began to explore the situation inside his body.
Facing a girl who was a level below him, Li Banchi did not dare to resist at all, because he knew that Liang Yan and Gu Xingyun were not easy to mess with, and since his own spiritual beast was not around, he was definitely no match for these two people.
After a long while, Qingqing retracted her palm and looked at Liang Yan.
"I've checked, and the spiritual power in his body is very chaotic. It's okay as it is now. If he forcibly activates the technique, he might go crazy."
"Is this really crazy?" Liang Yan felt a little surprised.
"I'm afraid it's like this. In his current condition, he may not survive for three days. The reason why he can still stay awake is because he used a special technique to seal off the meridians throughout his body, making himself an ordinary person without magic power."
After listening to Qingqing's answer, Liang Yan finally let go of his guard and nodded slightly: "It seems that you really want to find a way out for yourself. I don't want to embarrass you, but you are a monk of the Baisheng clan after all. If this is the case,
I'm a little worried about letting you go."
"How about this, before we leave, you will stay with us, and after we leave Yunzhongshan, you will be free again, how about that?"
"This" Li Bankai looked embarrassed and sighed: "The little old man's life is not long. He went up the mountain to find the elixir. If you let me follow you, aren't you risking the little old man's life?"
"This is easy to handle!"
Qingqing smiled, stretched out her right hand and pressed it on Li Banchan's body.
A gentle force surged out and gradually began to repair the injuries in Li Banzi's body.
"Huh?"
Li Bankai's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.
This mysterious girl in front of me is actually using special power to repair the injuries caused by her obsession?
"Who are you?" Li Banchi asked the same question as Liang Yan.
But Qingqing did not answer him, but closed her eyes and focused on her spell casting.
After about half a cup of tea, the chaotic spiritual power in Li Banzi's body gradually calmed down, and the meridians all over his body were unblocked. Most of the injuries caused by the previous obsession were also repaired. Not to mention that he was back to his prime, at least he was no longer in danger of his life.
.
Li Banzai looked inside, first checked his own meridians, and then raised his head to look at the girl in front of him, with a look of shock on his face.
"Amazing! It's amazing! This little old man has lived for hundreds of years and this is the first time he has seen such a thing. Today is really an eye-opener!"
Faced with Li Banchi's compliment, Qingqing just smiled slightly.
This time the spell was cast, the amount of essence lost was much less than that on Longding Mountain, so she didn't look too strange.
"You don't have to look for any magic medicine now. Come with us." Liang Yan glanced at him and said calmly.
