Liang Yan's punch had been gathering momentum secretly for a long time, but he had just kept it hidden.
Now with one punch, the boundless golden light turned into hundreds of small worlds, and each small world turned into a bit of punching power. Finally, they all gathered into the shadow of the fist in mid-air and hit the middle-aged scholar's Tianling Gai.
"what are you doing?!"
The middle-aged scholar was slightly stunned at first, then his face turned gloomy, and he flew backwards. While dodging Liang Yan's punch, he shouted sharply:
"Do you know what you are doing? How dare a little Golden Core monk be disrespectful to this layman?!"
His sharp shout was like thunder from the sky, echoing in the small attic, but Liang Yan did not react at all, let alone answer. He just increased the strength of his fists, and his body movements were as fast as ghosts, always following him.
Around the middle-aged scholar.
boom!
A muffled sound came, but the middle-aged scholar was forced to retreat. He could only slap a palm and fight with Liang Yan's Vajra Fist.
A powerful force came from the opponent's palm, and Liang Yan could not help but fly backwards, and did not stop until he hit the attic wall.
He stood up from the ground and shook his right hand. He saw that it was surrounded by black energy and exuded a putrid smell. It was the evil energy cultivated by evil cultivators!
"When did you discover the flaw?"
A cold voice sounded in the attic. At this time, the middle-aged scholar's face was gloomy, and there was a sinister air between his brows. The previous gentle, jade-like, humble and courteous scholarly temperament had long since disappeared, replaced by a sinister atmosphere.
A fierce and harsh breath.
"When? I felt something was wrong from the first time I saw you!"
Liang Yan shook his right hand, and golden light bloomed in his body, quickly expelling the black energy from his body.
"oh?"
The middle-aged scholar seemed to be interested. He didn't take any action at this time. He just sneered from the side and said, "It's interesting. Let's talk about it?"
"Although you have been trying your best to hide it, I can feel the same aura from you as the old monk below. As I expected, you two are from the same sect and are basically the same person!"
"Furthermore, since Master Shimu takes the name of 'Shimu', the key to the seal of the 'Jiuqu Yellow River Tower' is very likely to be the two stone and wood paintings on the wall, but you have repeatedly instigated me to take them away.
Come on, the intention is self-evident."
"The most important thing is that after arriving at the ninth floor, your breath has weakened significantly. If I guessed correctly, it should be the two pictures here that suppressed your cultivation. In other words, this '9th floor'
Qu Huanghe Tu's seal is actually you!"
As Liang Yan spoke, he secretly observed the middle-aged scholar's reaction. He saw that the man's expression did not change at all. Instead, he put his hands on his hands and smiled:
"Hahaha, wonderful! Wonderful! You are worthy of being the descendant of the Angry Monk, the 'Pure Pure Appearance of Bodhi', right? You can actually sense my breath. It seems that I have underestimated you!"
His smile was tantamount to acknowledging his identity. Although Liang Yan had already guessed it, he was still a little frightened when he recognized it personally.
"But you are wrong about one thing." The middle-aged scholar shook his head and continued: "We are not the same person. The monk below is just a part of me!"
"Is there any difference?" Liang Yanqi asked.
"Of course, this is a master-slave relationship! As long as I wake up, the person underneath should be asleep. He is just a part of me and has no right to dominate me!"
When the middle-aged scholar said this, his face gradually became a little excited, and in the end he almost shouted out loud.
Liang Yan didn't know why he reacted like this, but it was just that the sneak attack failed just now, so it was not good to rush into action now.
But one thing he can be sure of is that this "Nine-Bend Yellow River Tower" is indeed a magic weapon to suppress the opponent. Neither the middle-aged scholar nor the old monk underground can get out of this building.
Also, the two paintings on the top floor of the attic should be something that the middle-aged scholar is afraid of, otherwise there would be no plan to trick him here and instigate him to take down the paintings.
If you want to save your life, I'm afraid the key is to rely on these two paintings!
Thinking of this, Liang Yan quietly moved a few steps towards the location of the picture and asked at the same time: "Senior, this has confused me. I thought you were the clone of the old monk below. According to what you said,
Could it be that both of them are you?"
"Haha, you are ignorant, how can you understand the secrets of the techniques that I am studying?"
The middle-aged scholar sneered, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Back then, I learned all the magical powers and techniques of the Luotian Sect, but I found that the Buddhist magical powers in the sect still had many shortcomings. It was precisely because of these flaws and loopholes that I was unable to go further."
"Later, after my unremitting exploration, I was finally allowed to develop a practice method that combines Buddhism and demonism. And because of this method, I discovered a huge secret of Luotian Sect!"
"In order to get rid of my own destiny, I did not hesitate to use demons to prove the Tao in the following thousands of years. Fellow Buddhist and demon practitioners, just when my power was about to reach its peak, I was tricked by the old thief Shimu, and I was finally banned here.
Tell me! Will I be willing to do so?!"
When the middle-aged scholar said this, his eyes gradually turned red, and Liang Yan could see a trace of obvious unwillingness and resentment in his eyes.
"So you just rescued me from Master Lianxin and Murong Hanqiu just to help yourself out of trouble?"
"good!"
The middle-aged scholar nodded and said: "Speaking of which, you still want to thank me. If I hadn't suppressed the demon soul in your body at that time, I'm afraid you would have been taken away by others and your soul would have been scattered."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment he asked:
"In that case, why didn't you ask Master Lianxin or Murong Hanqiu to help you out, but why did you choose me, a monk in the Golden Core Realm?"
"Hahaha! You underestimate Shimu, old thief. Do you think you can break the seal just by taking down these two paintings and breaking an inkstone?"
The middle-aged scholar smiled and said: "Since we have come to this point, I might as well tell you everything. A mere 'Nine-bend Yellow River Tower' is not enough to suppress me. The real power is the 'Hunyuan Immortal' inside this building."
Qi'!"
"Hunyuan Immortal Qi!"
Hearing this name, the corners of Liang Yan's eyes twitched inadvertently. Isn't it because of the wisp of "Hunyuan Immortal Qi" that he worked so hard to get here?
After experiencing Master Lianxin's plot, Liang Yan originally thought that his trip was in vain and he only thought about how to escape from the valley, but he didn't expect that there would be a twist and turn, and finally he met "Hunyuan Xianqi" here.
!
At this time, I heard the middle-aged scholar continue to say: "Back then, the old thief Shi Mu refined a wisp of 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' into the 'Nine Bends of the Yellow River Tower' for the purpose of splitting me in two!"
"He suppressed my Buddha-minded clone at the bottom of the tower, and locked the demon-minded clone in the tower forever. He also used a wisp of 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' as a sealing means, so that my Buddha-minded and demonic clones would never be able to meet each other!
"
When he said this, he paused for a moment, suddenly looked at Liang Yan with burning eyes, and slowly said: "Boy, after telling you so much, I think you should understand that your opportunity has come! The reason why I led you
I came here just to help you collect the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi'! And as long as this thing is gone, my two thoughts of Buddha and Demon can be merged into one, and then this mere 'Nine-bend Yellow River Tower' will no longer be trapped.
Can’t hold me anymore!”
"Collect the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi'?" Liang Yan's pupils shrank, his face full of vigilance.
"Haha, this is a win-win situation. Since you have obtained the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi', I can also escape from here. Don't worry, although I am a Buddhist and demon fellow practitioner, I am not someone who repays kindness with enmity. Wait for me
After you get out of trouble, there are still some benefits for you!"
The middle-aged scholar's tone was filled with endless temptation, but Liang Yan had already quietly activated the "Bodhi Bright Pure Phase" and did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked:
"I'm just a monk in the Golden Core Realm. Even if I want to collect the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi', wouldn't it be more appropriate to have Great Master Lianxin or Murong Hanqiu?"
"That's because you are different from them. You possess the four spiritual powers of Buddhism, Demon, Taoism, and Confucianism. You are the best container to collect the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi'!"
When the middle-aged scholar said this, he smiled and said: "You still don't understand? Why do you think you can find the Xuanwu Flower?
"What?!" Liang Yan's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
"That's right! I deliberately released this flower. Rather than you finding it, it's better to say that it chose you!"
After hearing these words, Liang Yan's calm face finally showed a trace of emotion.
"It turns out that the cause of the whole thing was you!"
"Hey, I won't hide it from you now!"
The middle-aged scholar clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "If I want to get out of trouble, I must find someone who can successfully collect the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi', and there are only three types of people in the world who can do this."
"The first type is those who have practiced the Taoist secrets to the state of the unity of yin and yang. The second type is those who have nine orifices in their hearts and can understand the changes in the three talents of Confucianism, heaven, earth and man. As for the third type, they are those who practice at the same time.
A person who possesses the spiritual power of the four great unifications of Buddhism, Demons, Taoism and Confucianism!"
"The first two types of people are either the proud sons of the Taoist sect or the pillars of the Confucian sect. They are usually the focus of the sect. It is really difficult for me to trick such a person into coming in, so I can only
Hope is placed on the third type of person."
"The first person who has the hope of entering here is your ancestor Liu Hongcheng! This person practices the Emperor Dragon Art, belongs to the domineering lineage of Confucianism, and is very ambitious. When he found the Xuanwu Flower, he practiced it and I stayed there.
The secret technique in the cave is called the "Hunyuan Heart Sutra". It was created by me based on the Buddhist and Demonic techniques. It can absorb other people's spiritual power in a short period of time and use it for my own use. He used this
The method was to get rid of several people who came together to hunt for treasure and take the Xuanwu Flower as their own."
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly remembered the two remnant souls he met in the imperial tomb in the capital of Yue Kingdom.
At that time, Luo Tang was already crazy, and he kept repeating the words that he wanted revenge on Liu Hongcheng. As for Yang Jian, he also personally told the fact that Liu Hongcheng had broken up his body and imprisoned his soul.
Now it seems that these two people did not lie to him. They were indeed assassinated by their ancestors back then, and they died in silence.
"What a pity! What a pity!"
The middle-aged scholar sighed softly: "Although Liu Hongcheng is somewhat ambitious, his talent is really low. When practicing my 'Hunyuan Heart Sutra', I only swallowed the spiritual power of two people and became unbearable. In the end, I actually
He went crazy. He didn't have the spiritual power to cultivate the Four Great Traditions, so naturally I wouldn't bring him in. Later, when this person saw that his Taoist foundation was destroyed and his path was hopeless, he simply left the Antarctic Fairy Continent and doesn't know where he went."
"Since then, the Xuanwu Flower has been silent for thousands of years, until a thousand years later, a monk with the spiritual power of Buddhism, Demonism, Taoism, and Confucianism found Black Wind Mountain again, and this person is you! Now you should know
Come on, if it weren’t for the spiritual power of the four families in the body, Xuanwuhua wouldn’t have even leaked a breath for you to discover!”
"So that's it." After listening to the middle-aged scholar's explanation, Liang Yan finally understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.
He originally thought that Master Lianxin had plotted against him, but he didn't expect that before he entered the secret realm, he had already been placed on the chessboard as a chess piece.
"It turns out that the two of us are indeed destined. After you picked the Xuanwu Flower, you came here smoothly. Now I have been open and honest with you, without hiding anything! As long as the two of us cooperate once, not only can I regain my freedom, but you can also
You can also get the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' that countless monks dream of! This deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it, right?"
The middle-aged scholar's voice sounded again in the attic. Liang Yan frowned slightly and his eyes flickered.
He indeed covets the "Hunyuan Immortal Qi", but the person in front of him is a monk in the realm of manifestation, and he also practices both Buddhist and demonic skills, and his character has already changed greatly. After he escapes from trouble, will he really keep his promise?
I have done nothing wrong, this is still a matter of two opinions.
In any case, compared to getting the temptation of "Hunyuan Immortal Qi" and tying his life and death to other people's mood, this is what Liang Yan is even more unwilling to see.
The middle-aged scholar seemed to have noticed Liang Yan's hesitation. At this time, his face gradually turned cold, and he said calmly: "I have spent so much time talking to you, please don't give me a toast and eat the fine wine! Do you think I am sealed here?
I can't deal with you, can I? Don't think about it. I was able to save you from Master Lianxin and Murong Hanqiu just now. Isn't it easy to kill you?"
After hearing his words, Liang Yan didn't have any fear in his eyes. Instead, he smiled softly and said:
"At this time and that time, if I were outside, I would naturally not be your opponent! But in order for me to break the seal, you led me into the 'Nine-Bend Yellow River Tower'. I'm afraid you can't use all your magical powers here, right?
Otherwise, why bother talking to me so much!"
While he was speaking, he moved a few steps towards the picture on the wall, and now he was very close to the rockery picture.
"So, little friend, you are going to try my methods?" The middle-aged scholar narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said coldly.
