"Why, you've discovered this a long time ago and you still kept it secret in front of me?" Wu Xin feigned anger.
"It's not a matter of speculation, but I can't be sure yet."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about it, although Qingqing is of Shennong's blood, her blood has not touched the gate of the underground palace, so why can she still open the forbidden area?"
"This" Wuxin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to think about it. Looking back now, it is indeed a bit strange."
"I do have a guess in my mind, but I can't verify it until I see Shennong Hu." Liang Yan said lightly.
"Isn't this just selling out?"
Wuxin sneered, and suddenly thought of something again, and asked: "By the way, I remember that the enlightened beast has the ability to track the monk's breath? Why not let Qingqing order the enlightened beast to go to Langhuan Continent to find Zilan?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "The method you mentioned was already tried when we just returned to Shennong Mountain. Unfortunately, the Enlightenment Beast behaved very confusingly and came up with more than a dozen directions, but every time
Not sure about any of it."
"How could this happen?" Wu Xin was a little confused.
"Not surprisingly."
Liang Yan said lightly: "The reason why the Enlightenment Beast was able to find Shennong Hu was because Shennong Hu did not hide himself deliberately, and the aura on his body did not change in any way. But Zi Lan was different. This person was extremely good at the art of disguise. Her body
Her aura can be said to be ever-changing, even my 'Bodhi Mirror' phase cannot see through her disguise so close at hand, not to mention that she is now separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, even an enlightened beast would have a hard time detecting her location."
"If you analyze it this way, it does make some sense." Wu Xin nodded slightly.
"So, Zi Lan is always a hidden danger. This woman has a high level of cultivation, is good at disguise, and is good at deceiving people. I think she hasn't given up yet, but is hiding temporarily, like a ghost hidden in the shadows.
Poisonous snake, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time." Liang Yan said solemnly.
Unlike Liang Yan's seriousness, Wu Xin listened to his analysis and yawned lazily.
"Idiot, are you too nervous during this time?"
"Um?"
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked up, only to see Wu Xin already half-lying on the wicker chair, looking leisurely.
"Why do you say that?" Liang Yan frowned.
"You think too much about the enemy. In fact, the overall situation of Langhuan Continent has been decided. You can just wait for Shennong Hu to come out of seclusion and prepare to practice the "Shennong Emperor Sutra". As for Zilan, leave it to me. I will search for this place.
As long as she is still in Langhuan Continent, the woman’s traces will be revealed one day.”
When Liang Yan heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.
But soon, he reacted.
Wu Xin gained a lot from this trip to the underground palace. Not only did he survive the "soul" and "blood" calamities of the demons, but he also gained the inheritance of Ling Zi's skills!
Today's Wu Xin is almost as good as Zi Lan, who has survived two disasters and seven disasters. Even Liang Yan, without using the "Immortal Dragon Body" and the two magical powers of "Yin" and "Bitterness", is probably not Wu Xin.
opponent.
"I forgot that you are even stronger than me now." Liang Yan looked at Wu Xin and said with a half-smile.
"What? Do you know how powerful your sister is?" Wu Xin chuckled and raised her finger at him.
"Ahem."
Liang Yan coughed and didn't look at Wu Xin. Suddenly, he waved his sleeves and turned into a ray of light and soared into the sky!
Wu Xin's face was stunned. When she looked up, Liang Yan was gone, leaving only a voice echoing slowly in the bamboo forest: "When I come out of seclusion after practicing the "Shen Nong Emperor Sutra", I will come to you to discuss the Tao."
!”
"snort!"
Seeing Liang Yan leaving quickly, Wu Xin's face looked a little angry.
But then she thought of something again, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she spat: "You idiot, what are you going to discuss with me?"
In the following days, Shennong Mountain was calm.
Liang Yan lived in seclusion in a thatched cottage, practicing while coaching Gu Xingyun and Qingqing in their swordsmanship.
Because there was still excess of the five-color soil donated by Shennong Hu, Liang Yan gave it to Zhao Xunzhen and Hongwu, and both of them recovered to their peak cultivation levels.
I don't know if it was a blessing in disguise, but after being corroded by the evil spirit of reincarnation and being healed by the five-color soil, everyone's cultivation improved unexpectedly, especially Li Xiaosong, who had faintly touched the threshold of the next level.
Not only that, Li Xiaosong could only appear in the form of a monster before, but after this catastrophe, the civet cat seemed to have opened up the meridians throughout its body, and could actually transform into a girl again.
Liang Yan was very curious about this and asked Li Xiaosong specifically several times.
Unexpectedly, this silly girl didn't know what was going on in her body. She just felt a vague force appearing in her body, but every time she was about to feel it, this force disappeared without a trace.
Already.
"You stupid cat, can't you even figure out what's going on inside your own body? Did you sleep for too long and made yourself stupid?" Liang Yan was really angry with her.
"How can you blame me? It's like you have no father or mother since you were a child. Do you know what your name is?" Li Xiaosong responded confidently.
"you"
Liang Yan was unable to refute for a while.
After a long while, Liang Yan waved his hand and took Li Xiaosong back into the Taixu Gourd.
In fact, he had a guess in his mind that the power Li Xiaosong sensed was probably a kind of bloodline awakening, but the degree of awakening was not high, so she felt it was vaguely there.
"What kind of breed is this girl?"
Liang Yan secretly sighed, but it was a pity that he had never been to the Demon Clan Continent and knew too few types of Demon Clan that he really couldn't tell Xiaosong's background.
But no matter what, the power of bloodline was awakened only after reaching the "realm of creation". The conditions for awakening the bloodline were too harsh, right? If she had died before, wouldn't it mean that she would not be able to know who she was for the rest of her life?
"That's all. As for Xiaosong's identity, there will always be a chance to figure it out in the future. It's better to focus on your own practice now."
Liang Yan shook his head, got rid of distracting thoughts, and began to meditate.
Another ten days of such peaceful days passed.
In the early morning of this day, the sun had just risen, and two rays of light fell in front of the thatched cottage one after another. However, it was Gu Xingyun and Qingqing who came to practice as usual.
"Master!"
"Brother Liang!"
One deep, one light, two completely different voices sounded outside the thatched cottage at the same time.
Liang Yan opened his eyes from his trance, pushed the door open and came outside.
I saw Qingqing and Gu Xingyun both standing in the courtyard with their hands folded. Qingqing's face was a little excited, but Gu Xingyun was as serious as ever, or rather boring.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Liang Yan just glanced at the two of them and could already tell how diligent they were in their sword practice.
"The God is hidden within, the sword is hidden in the heart. It seems that you have successfully passed the entry stage. Starting today, I will teach you the second step."
"etc!"
Before Liang Yan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qing Qing with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Brother Liang, my father is out of isolation today, and he wants to invite you to sit in the cave!" Qingqing said with a smile.
"What? You said the mountain master has been released from seclusion today?" Liang Yan had a look of disbelief on his face.
The reason why he was so surprised was because he knew very well the extent of Shennong Hu's injuries. In the "Twelve-Element Magnetic Formation" that day, Shennong Hu almost ran out of gas, and killing Gu Xingguan even used up his last energy.
Spiritual power.
It can be said that if the four major disciples had not been with him to protect him all the way, I am afraid that he would not have been able to even return to Shennong Mountain.
According to Liang Yan's expectation, such a serious injury would take less than half a year to recover. No matter how impatient the Shennong Hu was, he couldn't be out of isolation in ten days?
"Are you sure? Your father has been released from prison, and you still want me to see him?" Liang Yan confirmed again.
"Sure!"
Qingqing looked very happy and said with a smile: "Dad has almost recovered. He is so anxious to see you, so he must thank Brother Liang in person!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan's face showed a thoughtful expression.
"Since it is the mountain owner who invites me, I will naturally go."
As he said that, he took out a roll of bamboo silk from the storage ring, gathered the spiritual power of his fingertips, and gently tapped it on the bamboo silk.
Countless spiritual energy condensed on the bamboo and silk, and finally turned into a series of oral formulas. In just a moment, a basic sword formula was completed.
Although this sword technique is not a rare skill, it is a training path tailor-made by Liang Yan for Gu Xingyun and Qingqing. It is divided into two parts, the first half is suitable for Qingqing's training, and the second half is suitable for Qingqing's training.
Ancient practice.
He handed the bamboo to the two of them and warned: "I am going to see the mountain master as my teacher. The date of my return is uncertain. You two must practice diligently and not be slack for even half a day!"
"yes!"
Qingqing and Gu Xingyun responded at the same time.
Liang Yan saw this and nodded slightly.
The next moment, with the pinch of the magic formula in his hand, the whole person turned into a ray of light and disappeared in an instant.
The Shennong Mountains cover an extremely large area, and one-tenth of the entire Langhuan Continent is bounded by the Shennong Mountains.
There is a canyon deep in the mountains called "Splendid Valley". It is like spring all year round and flowers are in full bloom. Along the "Splendid Valley" all the way inward, you can see a cave. The cave is located under the spring and is filled with various medicines.
Soaked in liquid, it was the place where Shennong Hu was recovering from his injuries.
Liang Yan drove the escape light and came to the outside of Jinxiu Valley. He saw two figures guarding both sides of the canyon from a distance, but they were his old acquaintances, Jia Yi and Ding Feng!
"Brother Liang!"
The two of them had fought alongside him before, so they were no strangers to each other.
Especially Ding Feng, although he was unruly and rebellious, after the battle of "Twelve Yuan Magnetic Formation", he admired Liang Yan from the bottom of his heart, so he showed great respect.
"It turns out you two are guarding here, thank you for your hard work." Liang Yan said with a slight smile.
"Brother Liang, what are you talking about? As Master's direct disciples, we should be here to protect him while he recovers from his injuries." Jia Yi laughed softly.
Ding Feng also laughed: "Brother Liang, I have heard of a word in the outside world called 'real people don't show their faces'! I never knew what it meant. It wasn't until I met you that Ding understood that it was really a 'human being'"
There are people outside, and there is heaven outside the sky!"
"Brother Ding, thank you!"
Liang Yan laughed and didn't say much. However, Jia Yi next to him stopped Ding Feng who wanted to continue. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Liang, you don't need to pay attention to him. Master has been released from seclusion and is waiting inside."
you."
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded slightly, his whole body lit up with light, he passed Jia Yi and Ding Feng, and flew towards the depths of the canyon.
Jinxiu Valley is like spring all year round and the scenery is stunning.
Along the way, I saw many natural and earthly treasures, such as Nine Sun Nightshade, Rotten Bone Spirit Flower, Qinglong Ginseng, Qianhuan Jialan. These things that are extremely rare to see in the outside world can be seen everywhere here.
Seeing this, Liang Yan felt a little emotional.
It has to be said that the Shennong lineage does have some unique secrets in planting natural materials and earthly treasures, and through the efforts of several generations of the Shennong family, Shennong Mountain has become a worldly treasure.
It's just that there are no saints in Juntian City. This is like a child sitting on a treasure mountain. Once the barrier is breached, disaster awaits everyone.
Shennong Hu obviously understood this truth very well, so no matter how tempted the people in Tiangong City were, he would always be firm and never open the barrier.
But how long can this kind of determination last amidst the disputes that are about to sweep through the entire Antarctic Continent?
Liang Yan was thinking all over the place, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice coming from the front, he laughed and said: "Fellow Daoist Liang, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
He came back from his thoughts and looked forward.
We have reached the end of the canyon ahead. There is a huge spiritual spring. Under the spring water, you can vaguely see a cave. A trace of medicinal fragrance floats out from the cave. Liang Yan just took a sip and felt a kind of qi and blood filling his ears and eyes.
A bright feeling.
Shennong Hu had already left the customs at this time and was sitting on the ground by the shore of Lingquan.
"Liang has met the mountain master."
Liang Yan stopped hiding and bowed his hands in salute, but secretly looked at Shennong Hu carefully.
"Strange, his injuries seem to have really healed?"
As soon as this idea came up, Liang Yan felt a little incredible. It was clear that this person was almost exhausted when he was in the "Twelve Element Magnetic Array". It has only been ten days. Could it be that the other person has fully recovered?
?
Shennong Hu seemed to see the doubts in his heart, and smiled slightly at this time and said: "You must have many questions, Taoist friend Liang? I invite you here this time, firstly to thank you for your life-saving grace, and secondly to help you clear up your doubts, regardless of whether you, fellow Taoist
If you want to know anything, just ask."
"good."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, found an open space beside Shennong Hu, and sat on the ground.
"Mountain Master, forgive me for being a little curious. You were seriously injured in the 'Twelve-Element Magnetic Array' before. You couldn't even maintain your own state. If I read correctly, your original power has been damaged and you have no personal power."
It would take more than half a year to recover, so why are you back to normal in just ten days?"
This question, if normal, would be full of hostility.
Because this is tantamount to asking someone else's background, let alone getting an answer, the grumpy monk may have started a fight.
But Shennong Hu was always calm and showed no sign of anger.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, you have helped me save my life. It doesn't hurt to tell you. In fact, I can only maintain this state when I am in Shennong Mountain."
