When Liang Yan heard the news, his expression changed slightly, and his mood gradually became heavy.
Old friends are dying!
Although these people do not have much friendship with him, in today's dangerous environment, these people are solid and reliable comrades who have fought side by side.
Unexpectedly, after only two years of not seeing each other, these once all-powerful Yasheng have turned into dust and completely disappeared.
"well!"
Liang Yan sighed and asked again: "What about Wu Ci?"
This time he answered that he was not to blame.
"That battle was so brutal. Beiming had countless reinforcements and had an absolute advantage in strength. We had no choice but to lead our troops to retreat separately. In the chaos, everyone lost contact. Only when we got together again did we realize that
Wu Ci and Jisheng Demon Lord have disappeared."
"In other words, the life or death of these two people is still uncertain?" Liang Yan frowned.
"good."
Gui Wujiu nodded and said: "I asked my nephew Wuqi to issue the Immortal Gathering Order widely. All the old Nanxuan troops from back then have arrived one after another, but so far, there is no whereabouts of Ji Sheng Demon Lord and Wu Ci."
When Liang Yan heard this, he felt even more depressed. He stood there and said nothing for a long time.
Upon seeing this, the Venerable Great Suffering chanted a Buddha's name and said comfortingly: "The two Taoist friends and auspicious people have their own destiny. If there is no news, maybe it is the best news. I believe they will be able to return safely."
"I hope so."
Liang Yan sighed and said softly: "Where is the altar? I want to pay homage to my dead fellow Taoist."
"Fellow Taoist is interested."
As Lord Da Ku spoke, he raised his hand to cast a spell, and saw golden light flashing around him, creating ripples like water waves.
After a moment, the ripples spread, and the golden light slowly opened to both sides, revealing a passage.
Liang Yan knew that the other party had opened the mountain protection restriction of Luotian Mountain, so he took Wu Xin with him, and the two of them passed through the magic circle and came to the inside of the circle.
"This is the Holy Son of Heavenly Demon Mountain, 'Hu Chenyu'. He met me on the road, so I walked with him all the way."
"It turns out he is the Holy Son of Tianmo Mountain. I'm glad to meet you."
Venerable Great Ku, Gui Wujiu all greeted her, and Gu Tian and Bei Mingjing, although not good at words, also nodded in greeting.
In any case, the unintentional Ziwei Demon Star did elude Luo Tianshan's formation detection, and since she was traveling with Liang Yan, everyone was even less wary of her.
"The altar will be set up in Qingjing Valley in Luotian Mountain. Fellow Taoist, follow me."
After speaking, Venerable Great Ku led the way, and everyone followed, turning into escaping light, speeding all the way, and soon entered the depths of Luotian Mountain.
Liang Yan was high in the sky, and when he looked down, he saw rolling mountains and rivers, various antique Zen temples densely dotted in the mountains and forests, surrounded by green grass and flowers in bloom, creating a vibrant picture.
"After all, it is protected by the Buddha. This place is completely different from the outside world. There is already a bloody storm outside, like purgatory, but here there are still birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. It can be regarded as one of the few pure lands."
Liang Yan sighed in his heart, and after a while, he followed everyone to an empty and quiet valley.
The whole valley is full of white flowers, emitting a faint fragrance, which makes people feel peaceful.
"This is the 'soul-calming flower'. It was originally used to commemorate the ancestors of our sect. Now it is in trouble. I only hope that these departed Taoist friends can rest in peace."
Liang Yan didn't speak after hearing this.
This is just a kind of psychological comfort. Monks are different from ordinary people. When they embark on the road of cultivating immortals, they almost give up reincarnation. Their souls are destroyed and their true souls are gone forever. How can they still be qualified for reincarnation?
Everyone walked forward in the valley and reached the end soon.
I saw that this place is surrounded by rocks, and there are countless caves on the surrounding mountain walls. There is an oil lamp and a tablet in each cave.
What is enshrined here is the Nanxuan monks who died in the war. Regardless of their level of cultivation, as long as they died on the battlefield, there will be a tablet standing here.
Liang Yan looked around and saw only densely packed cave entrances and dotted lights. They were ordinary people who, like himself, yearned for the immortal way and practiced silently. Maybe everyone had a story of their own, but now they all have their own story.
Already turned into dust
"Amitabha."
Venerable Mahaku announced the Buddha's name, waved his hand, and the stone door on the mountain wall opened, revealing a golden lotus inside.
The lotus platform is divided into nine floors, and the tablets of hundreds of monks are enshrined in sequence, most of them are people with advanced cultivation.
There are only four tablets at the top, which read: Mountains and Seas Glow Together Fan Qingzhou, Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Changliu Changshou, Thunder Nine Heavens Zuolin, and Unparalleled Divine Sword Liang Yan
When he saw the last tablet, the corners of Liang Yan's mouth twitched, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Who would see their own tablet while they are still alive?
This is really off the mark!
Gutian, Mirror of Sorrow, Venerable Great Suffering, and Gui Wujiu looked at each other and felt embarrassed.
"Fellow Taoist, please forgive me. Before this, we all thought that you were buried in the Black Mountain Territory. We arrived here as soon as we met just now, and we didn't have time to remove the memorial tablet."
As the Venerable Great Ku said, he waved his sleeves and robe gently and wiped away Liang Yan's tablet and oil lamp.
"It's not my fault, fellow Taoist."
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "It's rare that after I die, there will still be people who can build a monument for me. This can be considered a blessing."
After everyone heard this, they were all silent.
Now that the War between the North and the South has come, the situation is becoming increasingly serious, but Linghu Bai, the only backbone in everyone's hearts, has disappeared. This is undoubtedly the biggest blow to morale. If Nanxuan is defeated in the end, everyone will die without a burial place.
What are we talking about erecting or not erecting a monument?
After a while, Liang Yan said softly: "Please give me three sticks of Buddhist incense."
"Um."
Lord Da Ku nodded, waved his sleeves and robes again, and there were three more dark golden sandalwood sticks in his hand.
Liang Yan reached out to take it, lit it with real fire, looked at the green smoke, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Fellow Taoists, I can no longer drink tea and discuss Taoism with you from now on."
Liang Yan held incense and candles in his hands and bowed to the tablets of Fan Qingzhou, Liu Changshou and Zuo Lin respectively.
Among these three people, some were close to him, and some were in trouble with him, but these past events have become the dust of history.
Liang Yan bowed down to salute very seriously, then approached the golden lotus platform and placed the Buddhist incense in front of the three people's spiritual tablets with his own hands.
Everyone stood there, looking at the endless stars and lights all around and the golden lotus platform in front of them, and they were all fascinated for a moment.
After a long, long time, the Great Suffering Venerable pronounced the name of the Buddha and said softly: "The deceased has passed away. You must not look back. Now is the time of life and death. There must be no weakness in your heart."
"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true."
Gui Wujiu nodded slightly at first, then turned his eyes and looked at Liang Yan again:
"Fellow Taoist, there has been no news this year. I wonder where he went? Are you clear about the current situation?"
"I have been trapped underground in the Black Mountain Region for a year. I escaped by chance a few months ago. I heard about the 'Order to Gather Immortals' issued by Gui Wuqi, so I rushed here without stopping. As for the current situation, Liang still has only a partial understanding of it.
, I was about to ask fellow Taoist for advice."
After Gui Wujiu heard this, he smiled and said, "Qingjing Valley is a quiet place. Let's change places and have a good chat."
"I think so too."
Everyone said no more, and followed the Great Suffering Venerable to leave the Qingjing Valley, climb several mountains along the ladder, and soon arrived at a quiet Zen courtyard.
There is an incense burner and six futons in the courtyard. The futons surround the incense burner and form a circle.
Venerable Da Ku, Gui Wujiu and others each chose a futon to sit down on, while Liang Yan and Wu Xin also took their seats.
After a while, Venerable Great Suffering was the first to speak:
"Fellow Daoist Liang has been trapped underground in the Black Mountain Region for a year. He must know very little about the war between the North and the South. Let me tell you in detail."
Next, Venerable Da Ku used his dull voice to introduce the major events that had happened over the past year to Liang Yan in detail.
These things are very similar to what Mo Wuhen said. Except for some slight differences in details, the rest are almost exactly the same.
After Liang Yan listened to everything, he sighed and said: "I didn't expect that Antarctic Fairy Continent has undergone earth-shaking changes in the year I was trapped. If I guessed correctly, the nine blood patterns that suddenly appeared should be
They are all located on the battlefield where the most brutal fighting was, right?"
"good."
Gui Wujiu said with a gloomy face: "The Lord of Tiangong City had a plan a long time ago. He deliberately led the war between the north and the south, just to write these nine runes with the blood of hundreds of millions of creatures!"
"If the nine blood patterns are run at the same time, it will speed up the refining speed of the entire continent. In no more than a month, everyone will turn into blood. That's why Li Yuxian, Feng Wu and other four saints will choose to suppress one blood pattern each.
.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan asked, "Can I still get in touch with those four saints now?"
Gui Wujiu shook his head and said: "The four great saints are located in the center of the blood pattern. Ordinary people cannot get close to them, and their consciousness cannot be transmitted, so we cannot contact them. We can only rely on ourselves. The only good news is that Tiangong City
It seems we can’t send out saints either, so we still have a glimmer of hope.”
Venerable Great Ku, Gui Wujiu and others also discussed the reason why Tiangong City could not send out saints, and finally came to the same conclusion as Liang Yan.
Refining the entire Antarctic continent and turning hundreds of millions of living beings into ashes, what a huge cause and effect is this? Even a saint would not dare to bear it. After all, although a saint is immortal, he has not yet escaped the constraints of heaven, and his actions are subject to certain restrictions.
"Although the saints have not come out, Beiming's strength is still superior to us. The battle at Longhu Pass allowed us to see the hidden power of Tiangong City. Although Leader Ning has powerful magic, he is ultimately no match for the four hands.
He was seriously injured by the combined efforts of Dan Yangsheng, Ling Xiao and Tong Ni, and his life and death are unknown to this day."
When Gui Wujiu said this, he sighed softly and said: "Now the Beiming monks are killing people everywhere and want to speed up the refining speed of the formation. We can't just sit back and wait for death. We gathered in Luotian Mountain to discuss countermeasures."
Liang Yan thought about it and asked, "I heard on the way here that Luo Tianshan is going to hold a 'divine machine performance'. What's going on?"
"Donor Liang also knows about the 'Divine Machine Act'?"
Venerable Da Ku smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, the purpose of the 'Shenji Performance' is to select the most suitable Buddhist disciple to inherit the 'Pudu Golden Wheel' of Luotian Mountain."
After hearing this, Liang Yan knew that there must be a reason for this, so he did not interrupt and listened quietly on the futon.
Then the Venerable Great Suffering continued: "We, Luo Tianshan, have been passed down for many years and have a long history. There is a secret treasure left by the ancestor, called the 'Pudu Golden Wheel'. If you can refine it, you can greatly enhance your Buddha nature and cultivation."
Because, at the same time, it can also display the Purifying Golden Light, and this Purifying Golden Light"
Having said this, he glanced at Liang Yan and said in a deep voice: "This golden light can purify the blood evil in the continent, preventing it from breeding and spreading!"
When Liang Yan heard this, he was slightly startled at first, and then he was overjoyed.
"There is such a magical thing!"
He paused, a little worried, and then said: "Is it really possible to have such an ability? Have you fellow Taoists ever verified it?"
Gu Tian, who had been silent before, now slowly said: "We have verified that the 'Pudu Golden Wheel' does have such power, but this treasure has not yet recognized its owner and can only exert ten powers.
The power of one or two.
Gui Wujiu said: "So, the 'Divine Machine Performance' we are holding now is to find the most suitable owner for the Pudu Golden Wheel."
After listening to everyone's explanations, Liang Yan finally understood the meaning of the magic machine performance.
"The person who refines the Golden Wheel is the Buddha of our Luotian Mountain. He can gradually purify this continent. Although the process is arduous, there is finally a glimmer of hope. What we have to do now is to find this destined Buddha!
"Venerable Great Ku said slowly.
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid this Buddhist disciple has some special requirements? Otherwise, just choose among the four Taoist friends, why bother to make such a fuss?"
"There are indeed requirements." Venerable Great Ku nodded and said: "First of all, the two most important ones are that the bone age cannot exceed nine hundred years, and the cultivation level must be in the realm of transforming tribulations and overcoming three difficulties."
After hearing this, Liang Yan was slightly stunned.
"The bone age is no more than nine hundred years old. This is easy to understand. Many magic weapons and elixirs have such bone age requirements. But why can't it also be the case for monks who have difficulty crossing the three levels?"
Venerable Da Ku sighed: "Fellow Daoist Liang, you have advanced cultivation now, and you should also know that the 'difficulties' and 'disasters' among the three disasters and nine disasters are different. The former is the struggle of luck, and the latter is the fight between heaven and earth.
With his intervention, as long as he endures the first disaster, he will be in touch with the way of heaven and will no longer be able to refine the 'Pudu Golden Wheel'."
"I see."
Liang Yan's knowledge is not low now. After thinking for a moment, he understood the meaning of Venerable Great Suffering's words.
At this time, Venerable Great Ku said again: "Lao Na held a magical performance and invited colleagues from all over the world. As long as there are people who are willing to resist Beiming, regardless of their status, regardless of their status, regardless of their status, whether they are in seven mountains or twelve cities, or whether they are casual cultivators in the mountains, they can become
Buddha, but you must pass three tests in sequence."
"It seems that a lot of people are here because of it?" Liang Yan pointed out.
Venerable Da Ku didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist Liang, I know there are people who fish in troubled waters, just to get the treasure wheel and improve their cultivation. It doesn't matter, as long as they can pass the three levels of tests I set, they will definitely be the most suitable ones."
candidate."
After hearing this, Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Everyone, Liang intercepted a letter on the way here."
