Although the tone of this voice was calm, it revealed a sense of majesty. The owner of the voice, Liang Yan, was no stranger. He was the current acting palace master of Bihai Palace: Lin Yueque!
"Huh? How could Palace Master Lin send me a message?"
Liang Yan's face showed a trace of doubt. You must know that the other party is the master of the first palace of Wushuang City, and his cultivation level has reached the realm of transformation, while he is just an ordinary city disciple, and his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Jindan.
.
There is a huge disparity between the two sides in terms of cultivation and status. It would be difficult for them to meet each other normally. If they insist on having any intersection, it can only be in the main hall where Bihai Palace gives orders.
"Lotus Moon Cave? I remember this seems to be Lin Yueque's cave. He didn't call me in the main hall of Bihai Palace, but asked me to go to his cave. What's going on?"
Liang Yan was confused and thought carefully for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
However, this was an order from the acting master of the Bihai Palace. As a member of the Bihai Palace, he did not dare to disobey it. Although he was a little unhappy to be interrupted in the middle of his practice, Liang Yan could only interrupt the retreat, leave the cave, and go to Lian
Fly in the direction of the moon cave.
Lianyue Cave is said to be a cave, but it is actually a huge palace built on the mountainside. It is surrounded by colorful clouds and hundreds of palace maids. Taoist boys shuttle between the pavilions and corridors, and they seem to be Lin Yueque's servants.
Liang Yan came to the palace gate. In addition to several monks on duty, there was also a thin book boy wearing Confucian robes waiting here.
When he saw Liang Yan arriving, he immediately raised his hands and saluted, saying, "Fellow Taoist Liang has arrived just in time. I, Wang Tong, have been ordered by my master to welcome you here."
Liang Yan knew that this person was Lin Yueque's disciple, so he did not dare to be negligent at the moment, and hurriedly responded with a salute: "Palace Master Lin personally gave me the order, how could Liang dare to be negligent? As soon as I received the order, I immediately
I rushed over from my own cave."
When he said this, he paused for a moment and then asked casually: "I feel ashamed to say that Liang has not been in Bihai Palace for a long time. He has only met Palace Master Lin once in the past three years, but he didn't know that Palace Master Lin would be here this time."
What do you want to do with me?"
"I'm not sure about this either." Wang Tong smiled and said, "I'm just here to welcome Fellow Daoist Liang on the orders of my master. As for what my master's orders are, I'm afraid you have to ask Fellow Daoist Liang himself."
"That's it, then I'll ask fellow Taoist Wang to lead the way, and I'll go in and see Palace Master Lin." Liang Yan said with a slight smile.
"Easy to say!"
Wang Tong nodded, turned around and led Liang Yan towards the depths of the palace.
The two of them walked around in circles, spent half a cup of tea, and arrived at a courtyard. Here, flowers were blooming, birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. A handsome man seven feet tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, was sitting in front of a stone table.
Liang Yan knew that this person was Lin Yueque, the acting lord of Bihai Palace, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"No need to be polite."
Lin Yueque smiled slightly, waved to Wang Tong again and said, "You go down first."
"yes!"
Wang Tong responded respectfully, backed out of the courtyard, and walked outside the palace. Only Lin Yueque and Liang Yan were left in the huge courtyard.
"sit down."
Lin Yueque pointed to the empty seat in front of the stone table, motioned for Liang Yan to sit down, and then made him a pot of spiritual tea. He looked like a warm and hospitable scholar, without any airs of a palace master.
"You are Liang Yan. I heard Song Ru talk about you before. You have completed the mission of Daxia Kingdom very well." Lin Yueque said calmly while drinking tea.
Liang Yan didn't know what he was referring to and asked tentatively: "But I heard that the two heroes of Yu and Mo were robbed and killed on their way back. Now Huangquan Palace and Chixiao Academy have taken this matter to our Wushuang City.
On your head?”
"Haha, it doesn't matter!" Lin Yueque waved his hand and said: "Junior Sister Ning Xia and I have different views. Now that the Wushuang Domain is in chaos, how can we establish authority without killing people? If the Seven Ghosts of Huangquan die well, the Nine Sects will also have more power in the future.
I have no scruples and dare not wantonly invade our mineral veins. As for the Yu Mo duo, I can only count them as unlucky. You are not to blame for this matter."
"But the situation in the Wushuang Domain is complicated now. If the conflict between the nine sects and our Wushuang City further intensifies, I'm afraid it will give other forces an opportunity to take advantage of it." Liang Yan expressed his opinion after considering it.
Lin Yueque smiled slightly and didn't seem to care much.
"Nine major sects? They are just a bunch of clowns. Even if the city lord is not here, they are no match for our Wushuang City. You don't have to worry about this matter. The palace lords of our five major palaces will make arrangements for it."
When he said this, he suddenly changed the topic and continued: "I heard that in the battle at Qiyun Cave, other forces intervened in the end. It was you and Situ Kuangsheng who teamed up to repel the powerful enemies in the Tongxuan Realm?"
Liang Yan's expression did not change after hearing this, but he was slightly shocked in his heart, and thought to himself: "It seems that Song Ru has told some of my affairs. Now the two palace masters of Bihai Palace should know some details about me."
.”
However, he had already prepared in his heart. Although Song Ru had a good relationship with him, she was from Wushuang City after all. If Lin Yueque and Ning Xia pressed them, they would definitely not be able to keep her mouth shut.
Fortunately, the battle between him and the demon man was outside the magic circle, and no one except Situ Kuangsheng saw it. Even Song Ru could only speculate.
"Yes, I escaped from Qiyun Cave by luck and met an enemy outside who was in the early stage of Tongxuan Realm. If Situ Kuangsheng hadn't helped me fight off the enemy, I probably wouldn't have escaped death." Liang Yan replied calmly.
road.
"Haha, I heard from Song Ru that my little friend is actually a sword cultivator. His strength is so strong that even people below the Tongxuan realm may find it difficult to defeat him. I am a little curious as to which expert my little friend was before joining Wushuang City.
Learn Taoism from a disciple?" Lin Yueque looked very interested, and seemed to be very interested in Liang Yan's disciple.
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression did not change at all, and he simply said: "Senior Lin has already said that there are many masters in Wushuang City, and my strength is only acceptable. Liang has no sect, although he has practiced in Nanchui before.
Swordsmanship, unfortunately, there is no suitable technique, so it has been difficult to make progress. It was not until I entered the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Bihai Palace and obtained the magical power of "Canghai Star Divine Sword" that I was able to improve my swordsmanship."
"Canghai Star Divine Sword?"
Lin Yueque frowned and murmured to himself: "This technique is indeed the inheritance of my Bihai Palace. It is said that it was created by a deputy palace master back then. Unfortunately, this person never accepted a disciple in his life.
, and had no descendants, so this "Canghai Star Divine Sword" was finally put into the Sutra Pavilion by him, saying that it was reserved for future generations."
When he said this, he glanced at Liang Yan, smiled slightly, and continued: "In the following thousands of years, there were very few Bihai Palace monks who could practice this sword technique. I didn't expect that Liang Xiaoyou would have this opportunity.
It’s really gratifying!”
"It turns out that it was created by the seniors of Bihai Palace!"
Liang Yan showed an expression of admiration and said respectfully: "This skill is indeed wonderful. I am only scratching the surface now and practice diligently every day. I only hope that one day I can master it and not embarrass the seniors of Bihai Palace."
"Based on the surface? I'm afraid it's more than that!" Lin Yueque looked like he was smiling but not smiling, and then said: "Speaking of which, I also know a little bit about swordsmanship, why don't we two compete?"
As soon as he said this, even though he was as calm as Liang Yan, his face could not help but change slightly.
"Palace Master Lin, are you kidding? You are a senior in the Transformation Tribulation Realm. With my current level of cultivation, I'm afraid I can't even catch one of your moves. How can we discuss it?"
Lin Yueque waved his hand and said, "Young friend Liang, what you said is wrong. Although my level is much higher than yours, my main skill is not sword art. I actually spent about the same time practicing swordsmanship as my little friend. And this time
The discussion is not something I personally do."
"oh?"
Liang Yan was confused and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of sparring method is this according to what the senior said?"
Lin Yueque chuckled and said: "I recently got a sword formation diagram, and I have been studying its secrets day and night. Unfortunately, I have not practiced swordsmanship for a long time, and my swordsmanship skills are also mediocre, so I have never been able to understand the mystery of it.
I just want to invite a real swordsman genius to test the sword for me here."
"Sword picture?"
Liang Yan felt refreshed after hearing this, and was secretly a little moved.
He was obsessed with practicing swordsmanship, and was naturally a little curious about the sword formation diagram in Lin Yueque's hand, wanting to see what the mystery was inside. But actively entering other people's formation diagrams meant unknowns and dangers.
According to Liang Yan's character, he would never be allowed to put himself in such a situation.
Lin Yueque obviously saw the hesitation in his eyes, and he laughed and said: "What? Liang Xiaoyou is still worried that I will harm you? Don't worry, I won't ask for your help in vain, as long as Xiaoyou
If you agree to help me test the sword, I will give you a piece of Zixia Ganoderma lucidum."
"Zixia Ganoderma!"
Liang Yan's heart moved, and the previous hesitation gradually disappeared.
He had been in Wushuang City for several years and had asked Song Ru for advice several times. He knew that if Jindan monks wanted to enter the realm of Tongxuan, they had to break the Mysterious Passage in their bodies, and Zixia Ganoderma lucidum was one of several kinds that could assist the monks in breaking the Mysterious Passage.
One of the spiritual things.
For monks in the golden elixir realm, Zixia Ganoderma is indeed a spiritual creature that can be encountered but cannot be sought.
Liang Yan hesitated at first, mainly because he was worried about his own safety, but when he thought about it, Lin Yueque's strength was much higher than his own. If he really wanted to be disadvantageous, there was no need to use any sword diagram.
Moreover, as a member of Bihai Palace, he can be regarded as Lin Yueque's subordinate, so the other party has no reason to harm him.
After weighing the pros and cons, Liang Yan gradually let down his guard, cupped his hands and said, "Since it is Palace Master Lin's order, I should obey it, but I don't know what kind of sword diagram it is that deserves Palace Master Lin's attention."
Lin Yueque laughed after hearing this, reached out and took out an ancient scroll from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it in front of Liang Yan.
In the scroll, I saw high mountains, flowing water, steaming clouds, and a forest at the end of the mountain. The peach blossoms in the forest turned into swords, and the swords were flying in all directions, which was dizzying.
"This is the Peach Blossom Sword Picture! When you enter this picture, you only need to hold on for a stick of incense. After I understand the changes in the sword picture, you can go out into the battle."
Lin Yueque smiled slightly as he spoke, raised his hand and pointed towards the ancient scroll, and a five-color glow suddenly shot out from the picture and stopped in front of Liang Yan.
Liang Yan knew that this was Jiantu's guiding light. Since he had agreed to the other party, he walked straight into the glow without any hesitation.
After taking this step, the sky and the earth were spinning immediately. The five-color glow swept Liang Yan, and he returned to the sword diagram in an instant.
The next moment, Liang Yan stepped on his feet and found that he was already at the top of the mountain, surrounded by peach blossoms. It was the peach forest painted in the sword picture.
"What a strong sword spirit!"
Liang Yan was not attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, but instead keenly observed the murderous intent and sword energy hidden in the peach blossoms.
He stood quietly for a while, and suddenly heard someone singing loudly to the west of Taolin, saying:
"The cave has been filled with mysteries for thousands of years, and the peach blossoms outside the door should be affectionate. When you are free, you can climb to the sky and enter the clouds. When you turn around, you will see the Temple of Immortality!"
The song seemed to be far away but still near. When he came out of the treetops in the forest, he saw an old man wearing a silk scarf on his head and elegant white clothes. He used a peach blossom as a sword and walked slowly towards him.
Although this person's steps were slow, his figure was surprisingly fast. In just a few ups and downs, he arrived in front of Liang Yan.
The peach blossom in his hand was in full bloom, and infinite sword intent pierced out from the buds. Liang Yan had never seen such a bizarre thing before, and he did not dare to neglect it at the moment. He hurriedly slapped the Taixu gourd on his waist and sacrificed himself.
The Black Lotus Sword.
A black light cut through the sky, and black lotuses sprouted in the sky. When the lotus blossomed, countless sword energy rushed out, colliding with the peach blossom sword energy in the old man's hand, and finally returned to nothingness.
The two of them tried several moves, but they were inextricably linked. Suddenly they heard someone composing a song from the south of Taolin, saying:
"A pot of wine among the flowers tells the story of the path to truth. The world is just a dream. How many autumn sighs?"
Before the singing ended, a strong man with bare chest and breasts walked out of the forest. This man was wearing a black Taoist robe, with disheveled hair. He folded a peach branch into a sword and stabbed Liang Yan head-on.
Liang Yan really didn't expect that there were two illusions of monks in this "Peach Blossom Sword Formation", and whether it was a coincidence or not, the sword intent and sword energy of these two people was actually on par with his own.
Facing the peach branch sword energy of the strong man in Taoist robes, Liang Yan had no choice but to use a sword technique to sacrifice the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword in Taixu Gourd.
He controlled two flying swords by himself, and faced the enemy from left to right. With the blessing of the "Fish and Dragon Dance" technique, he fought hard with the old man in white and the strong man in Taoist robes.
"Calculate the time, it's almost half a stick of incense. As long as you persist for a while, you're done!"
Liang Yan counted the time in his heart and thought to himself.
However, just when he thought the situation had stabilized, another song came from the east side of the Taolin. This time it was a woman. Her voice was like the first cry of a nightingale, sweet and sweet. She sang in the song:
"The peach blossoms are faintly fragrant and dark, who is swinging and whispering in their smiles? There are thousands of lovesickness in one inch, and there is no place in the world to arrange it!"
After the song was sung, a person walked out of the forest, and it turned out to be a beautiful woman wearing a green palace dress with a gentle face.
She didn't come close, she just stood tall on the treetops, picking leaves with her jade hands and turning them into swords. With a flick forward, dozens of sword leaves flew out and hit Liang Yan's face.
