At the same time that Liang Yan was escorting Shennong's troops back to Shennong Mountain, outside an unknown cave on Langhuan Continent.
A stocky, dark-skinned peasant woman walked slowly over.
The peasant woman paused outside the cave for a moment, seemingly observing her surroundings secretly, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, she slowly walked into the cave.
As soon as she entered the cave, the appearance of the peasant woman changed.
The originally dark skin gradually became fairer, the figure became slim and graceful, and the face even changed its appearance, with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, and it was charming.
If Liang Yan were here, he would surely recognize that this woman was Zi Lan who escaped from the underground palace that day!
However, her breath is a little weak now. It seems that there should be an injury in her body, which she used to temporarily suppress with magic, so she did not show fatigue.
After Zi Lan entered the cave entrance, she did not take action immediately, but stopped and watched for a while, with a look of contemplation on her face.
After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and slowly walked towards the depths of the cave.
The further we walked in, the darker the cave became. I don’t know how long it had passed before the sound of gurgling water came from the front.
Zi Lan stopped and looked forward, and saw a cold pool in the darkness. There was a stone platform in the middle of the cold pool, and a figure could be vaguely seen on the stone platform.
This man sat cross-legged in the darkness, like an old monk in meditation. Even when Zi Lan arrived, there was no reaction.
"Something happened over there with the formation."
Zi Lan suddenly spoke, her eyes fixed on the figure in the dark, as if she wanted to see through this person's thoughts.
However, there was no answer.
It was very quiet inside the cave, except for the sound of gurgling water, there was no sound at all.
"The Shennong Husband was rescued!"
Zi Lan spoke again, her voice already a little sharp.
Hearing this, a chuckle finally came from the stone platform: "There are no absolutes in the world. Poison Star Officer's defeat today may be destined by God, so don't worry too much."
"What nonsense!" Zi Lan narrowed her eyes, seeming to suppress her anger: "The plan here is the arrangement of that adult. Do you know the consequences of failure? Or are you waiting to see my joke?"
"hey-hey."
The person on the stone platform chuckled lightly and said: "Xiao Monk has warned you a long time ago. It's just that you don't trust Xiao Monk. Otherwise, how could you have suffered today's defeat?"
"Trust?" Zi Lan sneered: "You were not included in the plan here. You entered this place inexplicably. How can I trust you? And that dog thief named Liang, do you know him? Why do you know him so well?
"
"Amitabha!"
Faced with a series of questions from Zi Lan, the person on the stone platform just announced the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "This boy has a predestined relationship with my Buddha. He is a member of the Buddhist cultivator. As a disciple of Buddhism, of course the young monk knows a little bit about it."
"Nonsense!" Zi Lan snorted coldly and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Foxing Officer, you are a sanctimonious person, but in fact you are full of evil. Who knows what you are thinking. Among the nineteen star officials in Tiangong City, I
The person I distrust the most is you!"
"Haha, Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows because he sees all living beings. I, the Buddha, help people, but there are people who don't help themselves." The person on the stone platform sighed and said: "Since Official Poison Star doesn't trust this young monk, then please go back."
"you!"
Zi Lan's eyes were sharp and she hesitated to speak. Her expression changed several times, as if she was suppressing her anger.
There was a brief silence in the dark cave.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sharp look in Zi Lan’s eyes finally disappeared. As the anger on her face disappeared, she took another look at the figure in the darkness and said lightly:
"Official Fo Xing, the matter has come to this, what else can you do to save the overall situation? As long as you help me complete the task here, I can agree to all your conditions!"
"hey-hey."
The figure on the stone platform seemed to have expected it. At this time, he smiled slightly and said: "Official Poison Star is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat. In this case, you can first complete the request I made before."
"good!"
Zi Lan nodded and said in a deep voice: "You want five-color soil, right?"
Two days later.
The dark clouds dissipated and the wind became clear.
On a certain peak of Shennong Mountain, Liang Yan and Wu Xin were sitting opposite each other.
A stone table was placed between the two of them. There was a tea stove next to the stone table. The sweet spiritual tea was boiling in the teapot. Wisps of smoke emerged from under the lid of the pot and drifted into the air.
“I haven’t felt this relaxed for a long time.”
Wu Xin leaned lazily on the wicker chair, playing with the haze surrounding him, while looking at the man opposite him with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"good mood?"
Liang Yan took a sip of the spirit tea and asked leisurely.
"Of course, we can turn the tide now, right?" Wu Xin stretched out and looked like he was enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
"hehe."
Liang Yan held the tea cup in his hand and smiled without saying a word.
He knew that what Wu Xin was talking about was the situation in Langhuan Continent. The Ye Ming Sect had been planning this time for a long time. Whether it was the forbidden area of the underground palace or the Shennong Husband, they almost succeeded. If Liang Yan and Wu Xin hadn't taken action at the critical moment, Juntian City would have been destroyed.
has fallen.
"Xuan Mizhu is fine, Shennong Hu has returned to his throne. Now the overall situation has been decided, Langhuan Continent can be said to be completely stable." When Wu Xin said this, he supported his head with one hand, looked at Liang Yan carefully for a while, and then said:
"But why do I feel that you still have some concerns?"
"Although the Yeming Sect was destroyed, only two of the three leaders died, and one is still alive." Liang Yan replied calmly.
"You mean Zi Lan?"
Wu Xin thought for a while and said: "In the battle in the underground palace, Zi Lan was besieged by the three of us and was seriously injured. During this time, he should have gone to find a place to recuperate from his injuries. Besides, the Ye Ming Sect used the strength of the whole sect to deploy the 'Twelve Yuan Magnet'
The formation was breached by you, Ghost Star Officer and Bone Star Officer were also killed one after another. Now she is the only one left, so I’m afraid she can’t survive on her own, right?”
"That's true, but cutting the grass without eradicating the roots will still leave hidden dangers after all." Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you worrying too much?"
Wu Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "Shennong Hu is a sub-sage cultivator, and having him take charge of Shennong Mountain is absolutely foolproof. The reason why the Ye Ming Sect almost succeeded this time is because they secretly instigated too many monks from the Langhuan tribe.
In the past few days and nights, the Mingjiao conspiracy has been exposed, and Shennong Hu has also sent people down the mountain. I believe that it won’t be long before the misunderstanding in Langhuan Continent can be resolved. As long as everyone in Langhuan Continent is united and a mere Zilan, there will be no trouble at all."
"I hope so"
Liang Yan sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers in the distance, feeling slightly dazed.
"Not to mention these things in Langhuan Continent, let's just say that this break should be a huge opportunity for you." Wu Xin's voice sounded leisurely.
"Oh?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What chance?"
"Asking even though you know it!"
Wuxin rolled his eyes at him and said: "You have helped the entire Shennong Mountain. Shennong Hu owes you a huge favor. He originally intended to lend you the "Shennong Emperor Sutra" for reading. Now even those elders may not be able to find it.
Don’t you have any reason to object?”
"hehe."
Liang Yan took a sip of tea with a noncommittal expression.
"I heard that the "Shennong Emperor Sutra" is a vast book about the human body, the acupuncture points, meridians, bones, skin and flesh in the human body. As long as it is related to the physical body, it can be said to be all-encompassing and everything. I don't know about this book.
Is it so magical and can it help me solve the wounds of the Great Dao in my body?" Liang Yan seemed to be talking to himself.
"It will definitely work!"
Wu Xin put away his smile, looked at Liang Yan, and said softly: "No matter what the outcome is, I will work with you to find a solution. If the "Shen Nong Emperor Sutra" cannot cure the wounds of the great road, then we will go to the Antarctic Immortal Continent and go to Qi
Twelve cities in the mountains, even if you travel to the ends of the world, I will accompany you."
Although her voice was soft, her tone was extremely firm.
After hearing this, Liang Yan was suddenly touched. He looked at Wu Xin, but saw that the other party was looking at him in the same way.
The two people's eyes met, and their hearts were touched. They seemed to have a thousand words to say. Just as they were about to speak, they heard a clear voice coming from a distance:
"Brother Liang, we are here to see you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two rays of light appeared on the horizon in the distance, one on the left and one on the right, flying quickly towards the direction of Liang Yan.
In just the blink of an eye, the escaping light has landed, revealing the appearance of a person, none other than Qing Qing and Gu Xingyun.
"Brother Liang!"
Qingqing yelled first, then showed a hint of doubt and said, "Brother Liang, why are you holding Sister Wuxin's hand?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan's face turned slightly red.
When he and Wu were in a strong mood just now, they couldn't help but hold each other's catkins in their hands. Who would have thought that Gu Xingyun and Qingqing suddenly arrived at this moment and were bumped into by their apprentices.
"Ahem!"
Although Gu Xingyun was a little dull by nature, he was at least much more mature and steady than Qingqing. Seeing this embarrassing scene, he coughed hurriedly, bowed and said, "Master, please come and see me!"
"Um."
Liang Yan pretended to be serious, nodded, and at the same time retracted his right hand without leaving a trace, but saw Wu Xin snickering across from him, looking not only not embarrassed, but also a little happy.
"Why do you two want to see me today?" Liang Yan said deliberately with an air of air.
"I was scolded by my father."
Qingqing said with a bitter look on her face: "Father said that I have been making trouble recently and almost caused a big disaster, so he issued a grounding order for me. This time he asked me to come to apologize to Brother Liang. He is in the underground palace.
If Brother Liang hadn't taken action at that time, I'm afraid Xuan Mizhu would have been lost because of me."
"That's it"
After hearing this, Liang Yan showed a thoughtful expression.
Before he could speak, Gu Xingyun had already taken the lead and said: "Master, in fact, this is not entirely to blame on Qingqing. She has a simple nature and good intentions, but she was taken advantage of by traitors. I will definitely teach you more in the future.
Let her understand the principles of this world."
Liang Yan was thinking about something. When he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Xingyun, with a half-smile expression on his face: "Okay! Gu Xingyun, you kid, since you said so, you will teach me from now on.
Qingqing."
After hearing this, Gu Xingyun lowered his head and said, "I will obey my master's orders!"
Although he has been practicing for a long time, the people in Langhuan Continent are simple and not good at pretending. Anyone with a little bit of care can see his love for Qingqing. Liang Yan has a clear ear and eyesight, so how can he not see the clues?
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other, only to hear Wu Xin say with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a matchmaker invisibly and find a marriage for your apprentice!"
"Maybe it's because when he was in Shiling Village, Gu Xingyun was deceived by his beloved and was hit too hard. Now seeing the innocent Qingqing makes him feel extremely sincere, right?" Liang Yan's voice analysis analyzed.
"In any case, this is also a happy event. As the master, you can help make it happen." Wu Xin said through the message.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, and helped Gu Xingyun and Qingqing up at the same time.
"I promised Shennong Hu to teach Qingqing swordsmanship before. Now that Langhuan Continent has been pacified, it's time to restart your practice. Starting from tomorrow, every day at Chen time, you two will come to my mountain to learn swordsmanship.
Bar."
"yes!"
The two of them responded at the same time, with smiles on their faces.
Among them, Qingqing's smile was relatively innocent, purely because she could learn the sword again. Before, she was afraid that Liang Yan would be concerned about her because of the underground palace. Now this worry can be said to no longer exist.
Gu Xingyun's mood was more complicated. He didn't know how he felt towards Qingqing. He just felt that being with her would make him feel very happy, especially when he saw Qingqing's innocent smile.
I can't help but want to protect this smile.
However, Qingqing is the only daughter of the Shennong Husband, and Gu Xingyun is just a monk outside the mountain. There are not many opportunities for the two to meet, especially after Qingqing was banned, such opportunities became even less.
Fortunately, Liang Yan had just spoken and asked the two of them to come here to practice every day, so that they would have the opportunity to interact with Qing Qing every day. Thinking of the days when they would practice sword together in the future, Gu Xingyun's dull face showed an innocent smile.
Liang Yan took in all this and felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He patted Gu Xingyun on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Being a teacher has given you an opportunity, so you should take advantage of it."
"Um?"
Gu Xingyun raised his head in confusion, but saw Liang Yan wave his hand and said: "Okay, you two go ahead. Remember to come to my place to practice swordsmanship tomorrow."
"yes!"
Gu Xingyun and Qingqing responded at the same time, not daring to stay here too long. They each turned into a ray of light and went away.
When the two of them walked away, Wu Xincai, who was sitting on the wicker chair, chuckled and said leisurely: "Sure enough, the disciples adopted by idiots are also idiots! Although your apprentice has excellent understanding, he knows nothing about emotions. No wonder he will be attracted by a idiot.
The scheming woman has deceived me for hundreds of years."
Liang Yan smiled a little after hearing this and said with a smile: "Maybe he doesn't know his own intentions. I just provided an opportunity. As for the final result, it depends on God's will."
"Maybe." Wu Xin was noncommittal, and after thinking for a while he said, "But I found that after the incident in the underground palace, Qing Qing's aura seemed to be a little different."
