Above the attic, a green dragon was entrenched, glaring at the four people who broke in below.
"It's Mr. Canglong's guard dog!"
Lian Xin took a step back, her face a little solemn.
Everyone else also saw that this green dragon was not a living creature, but a magic made of condensed spiritual power.
It is obvious that Canglong Lao Dao has fortified every step of the way, and there are spell prohibitions at the entrance of the cave, just to prevent others from breaking into his lair.
"Do it!"
Liang Yan shouted low, waved his sleeves, and his spiritual energy rushed into the air, turning into a thick barrier that enveloped the entire space around the attic.
He did this to prevent the ensuing fight from being too noisy and causing the monks at Qingmu Cliff to notice the strange phenomenon here.
As soon as the barrier was formed, Qinglong roared and rushed towards everyone.
Lian Xin stood at the front and bore the brunt.
He didn't flinch, he used the power of the Vajra and punched Qinglong on the head.
Rumble!
Powerful power surged in all directions, and golden light shot into the sky, denting half of Qinglong's head.
However, Qinglong didn't care and continued to charge forward, opening his bloody mouth to swallow the lotus heart in one gulp.
Faced with Ya Sheng's magical power, Lian Xin did not dare to be too aggressive. After discovering that she could not break the opponent with one punch, she decisively chose to retreat.
His whole body was illuminated by light, and he flew into the air like a wild goose, retreating quickly.
Qinglong bit the air, and the whole body emitted a green glow, like a blue ocean, with rolling waves sweeping towards everyone.
"Be careful, this is "Blue Sea Tide" written by Mr. Canglong!"
Lian Xin reminded her, and pinched the magic formula in her hand. The golden light covered the surface of her body, like a golden man, standing erect in the blue ocean.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also used their magical powers.
Liang Yan's mayfly sword light came out from the Taixu Gourd and turned into a sword halo, blocking the swarming tide of the blue sea three feet away.
Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong played the bamboo flute at the same time. The melodious flute music formed thousands of troops around them. Each soldier fought hard to cut and ride the wind and waves, and finally broke Qinglong's killing move.
Qinglong found that everyone was intact and couldn't help roaring, making waves in the blue sea, and rushed over again.
"Stop being so arrogant!"
Nan Youyue scolded, jumped into the air, threw out a pair of jade rings.
This pair of jade rings, one large and one small, were respectively placed on the head and tail of the green dragon. The originally menacing green dragon suddenly became sluggish.
"Haha, what a magic weapon!"
Lian Xin caught a glimpse of the opportunity and without hesitation, she used her escaping light and arrived behind Qing Long in just an instant.
His fists burst out with golden light, seeming to have infinite power, and smashed wildly towards the dragon's crest. A series of explosions came from mid-air, and the ground shook and the mountains shook with huge force!
Fortunately, Liang Yan had already made preparations and locked this space with a barrier in advance. Even if Lian Xin and others' magical phenomena were ten times more intense, they would not be transmitted through this barrier, causing Qingmu Ya's
The monk discovered something unusual here.
With the joint efforts of everyone, Qinglong was quickly subdued.
Lian Xin's fists fell like raindrops. Every time a punch was struck, Qinglong's aura would weaken a little. After about ten breaths, Qinglong could no longer hold on and shattered in mid-air, turning into balls of green.
Haze.
The haze slowly dispersed and finally disappeared in mid-air. The plaque originally engraved with the three characters "Qinglongju" also fell from the lintel and hit the ground with a "bang" sound.
Cang Long's last spell restriction was broken by everyone's joint efforts.
At this moment, the door to Canglong Cave is open, and there is no longer any obstruction.
"Let's go in."
Without any hesitation, Lian Xin greeted everyone and walked into the attic first.
Liang Yan, Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong were left, and they all followed closely and entered Canglong's cave.
Unexpectedly, the scene in the attic is very different from outside.
Outside, there are small bridges, flowing water, rockery ponds, and exotic flowers and plants, which are like a fresh and elegant picture. But inside the attic, it is extremely dark, with uneven walls and dark red liquid in the grooves. I don’t know if it is blood.
Or something, a fishy smell could be faintly smelled in the air.
"Weird thing!"
Lian Xin's face showed a look of surprise.
"Although I don't think much of Mr. Canglong, he is still the sub-sage of Wuzhuang Mountain. Wuzhuang Mountain is the authentic sect of Xuanmen. How can his cave be like this?"
"Canglong is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface."
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, released his consciousness, and looked around carefully.
Soon, he found a huge eye behind a screen.
This eye is dark green all over, with bloodshot eyes near the hole. It is embedded in the wall. It is constantly rotating at this time, as if it is looking at something.
"It seems like this is the 'Tongtian Eye'!"
Liang Yan and Lian Xin looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly and said through a message:
"The 'Tongtian Eye' is famous and can identify all disguises. Without Luo Qing's help, we would not be able to hide it."
Liang Yan also sent a message: "The three-day period is approaching. We must put the Gu insect into the 'Tiantian Eye', otherwise we will be exposed early tomorrow morning."
"give it to me."
Lian Xin's face was calm, and she continued to transmit the message: "But we have to hide this matter from those two little girls. It happens that you are familiar with them, junior brother, find a way to get them away, and I will poison the 'Tongtian Eye'.
"
After hearing this, Liang Yan looked noncommittal.
But the next moment, he still threw the bottle containing the Gu insects to Lian Xin, then turned around and looked at Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong.
These two people are carefully searching Canglong's cave.
Among them, Nan Youyue took out the green bamboo lantern, and while observing the light, she looked around intently.
"It seems that the purpose of your coming here is to find Baili Xuanyin?" Liang Yan came to the side of the two women and said calmly.
"good."
Nan Youyue nodded and said solemnly: "I feel that we are getting closer and closer to the truth. At least Master's true spirit is here. Master's disappearance must be related to Wuzhuang Mountain!"
"Have you found anything here?" Liang Yan asked again.
"Not yet, but I think Canglong must know something..."
Nan Youyue had just finished speaking halfway when the flame in the green bamboo lantern suddenly swayed, and the fire light flickered and seemed to be pointing to the right of everyone.
"Huh? Master's true spirit has reacted!"
Yu Xiaolong exclaimed, with a look of surprise on his face.
Liang Yan looked to the right and found that there was only one walkway, and at the end of the walkway was a wall. It seemed to be a dead end.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly walked to the wall, used the "Bodhi Mirror", and put his palms against the wall.
A golden light emerged from the palm of his hand. After walking around the wall, Liang Yan retracted his palm and said in a deep voice: "There is something strange in this wall."
"let me!"
Yu Xiaolong volunteered and threw a green bamboo umbrella from the storage ring.
The green bamboo umbrella flew into the air, its cover opened, and countless rays of green light shot out and disappeared into the wall in front of them.
Liang Yan's childish eyes shrank slightly. When they fought in the fog before, Yu Xiaolong relied on this green bamboo umbrella to block the light of his sword, otherwise he would have been cut in half by his sword.
"This is the magic weapon given to her by the master. Xiaolong is extremely talented. Together with her sister, she is known as the Yuzhu Shuangjiao. Her future achievements will definitely be higher than mine." Nan Youyue said softly from the side.
"Yuzhu Shuangjiao..."
A strange look flashed in Liang Yan's eyes.
After so many years, people in Yuzhu Mountain should have known about Yu Linglong's death. However, Yu Linglong died at the hands of Zhao Xunzhen, and Zhao Xunzhen is now his ghost servant, so this secret must not be known to anyone.
While he was thinking about it, there was suddenly a slight sound inside the wall, and then the wall cracked to both sides, revealing a deep passage.
"There is indeed a secret room!"
Yu Xiaolong's face was very excited.
Liang Yan and Nan Youyue looked at each other, but they were both cautious and did not have any mood swings at this time.
"Xiaolong, follow me and stay alert!"
Nan Youyue gave an order, held Yu Xiaolong behind her, and was the first to walk into the secret passage.
Liang Yan released his consciousness and carefully checked for a moment. After confirming that there was no hidden danger, he followed the two of them into the secret passage.
The secret passage was not long, and everyone soon came to a dark secret room.
A fishy smell hit everyone's face, making everyone feel nauseous.
"Why does it stink so bad!"
Yu Xiaolong exclaimed.
The next moment, everyone's eyes glanced around, with shock on their faces.
All around the secret room, there were piles of bones, rotting pieces of meat, and containers filled with blood. The fishy smell that was smelled in the secret passage just now emanated from here.
"Is this...really Wuzhuang Mountain?" Nan Youyue said in horror.
Although Liang Yan was also surprised, he had already been mentally prepared. At this time, he just frowned and looked around intently.
I saw a rusty bronze cauldron behind the secret room.
Bones were used as firewood under the stove. The flame had been extinguished and the stove lid had been lifted. It looked like it had not been used for a long time.
Liang Yan slowly walked to the stove while focusing on vigilance.
He carefully checked the stove and found that there was nothing inside, except for some black ash, which was the remains of something unknown.
There are several pieces of paper taped to the side of the cauldron, most of which have some scrawled runes, the meaning of which is unclear.
But there were a few lines of small words written on one of the notes:
"After many years of trying, I finally succeeded today. It requires one point of spirit as a guide, five points of soul, three points of flesh, two points of true spirit, and supplemented by four points each of bone and blood. This is the optimal solution."
After reading this note, Liang Yan's frown deepened.
It seems that Canglong Laodao has been conducting some kind of secret research here, and it has been quite a long time.
What is his purpose? Is this research related to this tribulation? Are other monks in Wuzhuang Mountain, such as Lu Qinghe and others, also aware of this matter?
"Sister!"
Just as he was thinking secretly, Yu Xiaolong's exclamation suddenly came from behind him.
Looking back, I found this woman squatting among the bones, holding a ring in her hand, with a strange expression on her face, a mixture of surprise and fear.
Nan Youyue also walked over at this time.
"This is......."
Although you couldn't see her expression behind the veil, you could hear her shock from her tone.
"It's Master's 'Mo Xuejie'! Master, she...she..." Yu Xiaolong's voice was choked with sobs, and he couldn't say the next words.
Liang Yan temporarily put aside the cauldron matter, walked to the two women, and asked:
"Have you found any clues about Baili Xuanyin?"
"Um."
Nan Youyue took the ring from Yu Xiaolong's hand and said softly: "This is Master's 'Mo Xue Ring'. She has always been inseparable. Now the ring is still there, but the person is not. I'm afraid..."
"This doesn't mean anything." Liang Yan didn't take it seriously: "Maybe your master lost it when he was fighting with others. Maybe she escaped safely, but kept the ring."
"impossible."
Nan Youyue shook her head and said solemnly: "This ring has special meaning to Master. Her Taoist companion died trying to save her, and the relic left behind before his death was this 'Moxue Ring'. The ring
It doesn't have much effect on its own, but Master swears that he will never take it off in this life. Unless she dies, as long as she still has breath, she will come to snatch this ring back."
"There is such a story..."
Liang Yan sighed.
If this is the case, then Baili Xuanyin is indeed in danger.
Nan Youyue was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although she was also pessimistic about Baili Xuanyin's death, she did not lose control of her emotions at this time. Instead, she took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
"Long'er, don't cry, things may not be as bad as you think."
She pulled Yu Xiaolong out of the pile of bones and said firmly: "No matter what, we have to find the master. As long as we don't see the master's body for a day, we can't conclude that the master is dead!"
After listening to Nan Youyue's words, Yu Xiaolong's mood gradually stabilized.
"You're right...I shouldn't have given up."
Nan Youyue's eyes were complicated, and she wiped the tears on her face, and said softly: "Long'er, even if the master has really left Hexi, we still have to bring her body back to Yuzhu Mountain so that her soul can return to her hometown.
.”
"Yeah!" Yu Xiaolong's eyes became firm.
Liang Yan saw this scene from the side and nodded secretly.
I have to say that the relationship between master and disciple in Yuzhu Mountain is very deep. I don’t know why Hu Shisan betrayed the sect back then.
"You two, this secret room has been abandoned for a long time. There shouldn't be any clues here. Let's go back first." Liang Yan suggested.
"good."
Nan Youyue nodded and left the secret room with Yu Xiaolong.
The three of them returned along the secret passage and soon returned to the hall of the attic.
As soon as I came out, I saw a flash of golden light in the distance, and Lian Xin walked out from behind the screen.
He smiled slightly at Liang Yan and gave a thumbs up with his right hand.
"Junior brother really has a way of dealing with women. I have put the Gu insect into the 'Tongtian Eye'. In the next few days, we can sit back and relax!"
Of course, these words were conveyed to him through a message.
Liang Yan ignored him and glanced at the "eye of heaven" behind the screen. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming from the attic.
Then there was a loud shout:
"Hey! What kind of thief dares to break into my cave!"
