The news that Liang Yan had problems with his cultivation spread quickly. After Li Xiran, Ji Lai and others found out, they were a little worried. These people visited his cave many times, but they were all turned away. , I didn’t even meet him once.
Shortly thereafter, Ning Xia and Lin Yueque also sent people to visit, but the result was the same as what Li Xiran and others encountered. The door to the cave was never opened, and these people had no choice but to go back and report.
Since he went into seclusion, the disputes in Wushuang Realm have become more and more intense, and the actions of Bihai Palace have become more and more frequent. However, no matter how things develop, Liang Yan has always stayed behind closed doors, as if all this has nothing to do with him.
As the lord of the first palace, Lin Yueque was a little dissatisfied with him, but because of Ning Xia's face, he couldn't criticize him too much, so in the end he could only let it go.
Spring passed and autumn came, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
The sky was clear that day, and outside a valley not far away from Wushuang City, a piece of colorful cloud fell from the sky.
There are two men standing on the colorful clouds. One of them is slender, has a wide mouth, a high nose, and wears a felt hat. He looks like an old master in the secular world, which looks very funny.
The other man was very handsome, holding a folding fan and fluttering in white clothes, looking very elegant.
The two of them rode the same colorful cloud at extremely fast speeds. In just a blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the entrance of the valley.
"Yun Guzi, Danxiasheng, you two are here too late!"
A rough voice sounded from the entrance of the valley. The speaker was a strong man with a height of nine feet and broad shoulders.
There were seven or eight monks beside him, sitting or standing at this time. Judging from their faces, they were already a little impatient in waiting.
"Sorry! Sorry! The two of us, brothers and sisters, were temporarily delayed because of something on the road, which kept you fellow Taoists waiting for a long time."
The monk wearing a felt hat looked apologetic, and while clasping his fists to apologize, he jumped down from the colorful clouds.
But the handsome man behind him had a cold expression and cast a spell to himself. The colorful cloud under his feet immediately turned into a ring and was received on his wrist.
"snort!"
Regarding the two completely different attitudes, the rugged man just snorted coldly and did not pursue it further.
In fact, he knew that these two people had extremely high cultivation levels and had reached the peak of Juyuan Realm. They were only one step away from achieving the Golden Elixir. If there was any conflict, he might not be their opponent.
"Forget it, it's not too late for both of you to come. That nine-tailed golden retriever was slapped by Fellow Daoist Feng. It won't be able to recover within half a year. Now it's hiding in the valley. Let's go in and kill this beast together. , and then divide its spirit tail equally." At the entrance of the valley, a woman in red tried to smooth things over.
These people are all casual cultivators nearby. The leader is a rugged man named Tie Muyang. His cultivation is at the peak of Juyuan Realm, and he is only one step away from forming a golden elixir.
Not long ago, he found an injured nine-tailed golden retriever nearby. This spiritual beast was full of treasures, especially its nine tails, which were excellent materials for refining magic weapons. Therefore, he became greedy and invited several casual cultivator friends to come. Come to help, hoping to capture this spiritual beast in one fell swoop.
But although the nine-tailed golden fur was injured, it still had the strength of the early stage of the golden elixir. After several battles, instead of being captured, it injured one of the monks and finally escaped into the valley of Qiling Mountain in front of it.
Temuyang and others knew that this spiritual beast was good at escaping, so they were not in a hurry to chase it. Instead, they guarded the entrance of the valley and sent people to invite the disciples of Qixia Palace to help.
The two people who came just now on clouds, the one wearing a felt hat is called Yunguzi, and the handsome one is named Danxiasheng. They are both disciples of Qixia Palace.
On Danxiasheng's wrist, the ring transformed from colorful clouds is the magic weapon that can defeat the Nine-tailed Golden Retriever Escape Technique.
Both of them are monks with orthodox inheritance. Although their realms are similar, they still look down on casual cultivators like Tie Muyang from the bottom of their hearts. However, Yun Guzi is a well-rounded person and does not show it directly. In comparison, Danxia is born with
I don't look good anymore.
The female cultivator in red was a good friend of Tiemu Yang. She stepped forward to smooth things over. Tiemu Yang was naturally happy to borrow Poxia's donkey. He nodded slightly and said, "Two fellow Taoists, it's not because I, Tiemu Yang, am harsh.
But I’m worried that if we delay it for too long, the beast will get away, and then won’t everyone’s work be in vain?”
After hearing this, Yun Guzi chuckled and said: "What the railway fellow said is true, let's not delay, let's go in and bring down this nine-tailed golden retriever!"
As soon as he said this, no one had any objection. Only Danxiasheng frowned and said: "If I remember correctly, today should be the day when the Nine Great Sects and Wushuang City discuss Taoism in Cangnan Mountain. This Qiling Mountain
It's not far from Cangnan Mountain. If we rush in hastily, will it violate other people's taboos?"
"Junior brother, you are worrying too much."
Yun Guzi waved his hands indifferently and said: "When the nine sects are fighting with the immortals of Wushuang City, how can they have time to take care of us little people? What's more, this place is still 800 miles away from Cangnan Mountain. Let's fight quickly and capture them.
Just get off that nine-tailed golden retriever and leave, so you won't get into trouble."
What he said was very certain, and everyone felt it was reasonable after hearing it. Tie Muyang nodded and said: "What Taoist Fellow Yun said is true, but just to be safe, we still quickly entered the valley and captured the nine-headed man."
The golden-tailed furry animal will leave this place immediately to avoid getting burned."
"good!"
Everyone present nodded in agreement, and without any hesitation, Tie Muyang, Yun Guzi and Dan Xiasheng led the team into the valley.
Everyone passed through the mouth of the canyon and walked all the way to the depths along the long and narrow canyon. On the way, they encountered some ferocious spiritual beasts that did not open their eyes, but they were dispatched at will. There was no danger along the way.
After walking like this for about half an hour, I suddenly heard a crisp bird song from the cliff. The sound penetrated the cracked stone and resounded throughout the valley.
"Huh?"
Yun Guzi frowned slightly, feeling strange in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Taoists, can you tell what kind of spiritual beast this is? Yun has been practicing here for hundreds of years, why have you never heard of it?"
"It's a bit strange, this sound."
Tie Muyang who was on the side thought carefully for a while, suddenly his eyes widened, and shouted: "No, this is not a spiritual beast, it is the 'Candle God Puppet' of Xuanguang Villa!"
"Candle God Puppet?"
After hearing this, Yun Guzi and Danxiasheng were both slightly startled, with strange expressions on their faces. The other casual cultivators, who were not knowledgeable enough, had not yet reacted and looked at Temuyang with puzzled expressions.
"Xuanguang Villa is famous for its puppetry. This 'Candle God Puppet' is their puppet that guards the village. It has extremely strong detection ability and any disturbance cannot be hidden from their eyes and ears. Judging from the cry just now, we should have been discovered.
Already." Temuyang said with a solemn expression.
"So what if I find out?"
The female cultivator in red was very puzzled and interjected: "This Qiling Mountain is not their Xuanguang Villa's territory, why don't they let us in? The Wushuang Domain is so vast, is there no place for casual cultivators like us?"
She was a casual cultivator, and she had been ostracized by the monks of the sect before. Now that she had finally reached the late stage of the Juyuan Realm, she had to suffer this kind of birdiness, so naturally she felt resentful.
The rest of the casual cultivators were also complaining, but Tie Muyang, Yun Guzi and Dan Xiasheng had serious expressions on their faces.
The "Candle God Puppet" is the guardian puppet of Xuanguang Villa. It usually does not leave the Villa at all, but now it actually appears on this small praying mountain. It is really incredible.
"Today is the time for discussion between Wushuang City and the nine major sects. As one of the nine major sects, Xuanguan Villa should not be on Cangnan Mountain?"
Among the crowd, a long-haired casual cultivator in green clothes suddenly spoke.
"Yes, Wushuang City is such a powerful force. In order to compete with it, the nine sects almost came out in full force. How could they disperse their strength to come to this Qingling Mountain? Let me tell you, this may just be a kind of spiritual beast that we don't know, and the candle
The cry of the God Puppet is somewhat similar." Another monk also said.
"Hmph! The nine sects are usually arrogant and domineering, so why do they ever take us casual cultivators seriously? Now they and Wushuang City are fighting dogs on Cangnan Mountain, and there is no way they can spare their hands! This Qiling Mountain I have to go in!"
"Fellow Daoist Wei is right. That bird chirping just now might be someone who got there first and deliberately threatened us. I want to see who is this blind person who is pretending to be a ghost here!"
These casual cultivators spoke to each other and encouraged each other. It seemed that Xuanguang Villa was not something to be afraid of. The nine-tailed golden retriever was destined to be obtained today.
Only Tie Muyang, Yun Guzi and Dan Xiasheng looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.
Just as everyone was talking about it, there was another strange sound in the air. Everyone present looked up in unison and saw several black spots falling from the sky above the cliff, reaching the tops of everyone's heads in an instant.
After flying closer, everyone saw clearly that these black spots were actually monsters with snake heads and bird bodies and four legs under their bellies!
On top of each monster stood a man in golden robes, with a cold expression and cold eyes.
"It's really a 'candle god puppet'!"
Temuyang was the most knowledgeable among the crowd. He recognized the origins of those monsters at a glance and hurriedly raised his hands and shouted: "I'm Temuyang, these two are from Qixia Palace."
Descendants of Xuanguang Villa, we didn’t know that Xuanguang Villa was working here, so we accidentally entered the valley, please forgive me!”
He was a casual cultivator, and he was afraid that the other party would not show mercy, so he deliberately moved out of Yunguzi and Danxiasheng's disciples, just hoping that the other party would look at Qixia Palace's face and not pursue the incident of accidentally entering.
Temuyang used his full strength to make this sound, and the sound was heard far away. He thought that the other party would accept their apology. Unexpectedly, the men in gold robes high in the sky heard this. Instead of responding at all, they landed faster.
point.
"Something's wrong!"
Yun Guzi next to him suddenly murmured. He was a well-rounded and quick-thinking person. When he saw something strange, he reacted one step faster than others. He immediately made a magic formula, and with the wind blowing under his feet, he faintly retreated to the crowd.
The last one.
At this moment, a golden-robed monk flying at the front suddenly stamped his foot, and the "Candle God Puppet" under his feet suddenly opened its mouth, spit out hundreds of golden streams of light, and went straight to the group of casual cultivators below.
"not good!"
Seeing the murderous aura in the glow, everyone realized that these monks from Xuanguang Villa did not want to argue with them at all, and they would kill them as soon as they met!
"ah!"
Among the crowd, a monk who reacted a little slowly was instantly pierced by these golden streams of light because he had no time to dodge, and his body was beaten into a pile of mud.
When the people around him saw this, their hearts trembled, and they hurriedly took out their own magic weapons, while protecting their whole bodies, they retreated towards the entrance of the valley.
"Fellow Taoists of Xuanguan Villa, we are disciples of Qixia Palace. Wushan layman of your sect is a close friend of our leader. Please consider the origin of the two sects and give us a way out." Danxia Shengfei came up.
In mid-air, he cupped his hands and said loudly.
In his opinion, he is a disciple of a well-known and upright sect, and he does not belong to the same group as these casual cultivators, so there is no need to hide behind them.
However, what Dan Xiasheng never expected was that the golden-robed monks turned a deaf ear to his words. Seeing him flying into the air, they all activated the "Candle God Puppet" under their feet. Hundreds of streams of light pierced the sky, and they actually ran first.
He called.
"No! You guys."
With a scream, golden light penetrated his body. Poor Danxiasheng, there were many methods that he had not yet used, but he fell into the trap and became the second monk to be disemboweled.
When the rest of the people saw this, they didn't know that these monks in Xuanguan Villa were going to kill them all today and would not give anyone a chance to survive!
"Run! Scatter and run!"
Temuyang shouted loudly, and sacrificed his natal magic weapon "Lingwu Bell" on his head, while protecting his whole body, he flew towards the entrance of the valley.
The rest of the people were no exception, and each used their own means to escape. Yun Guzi saw the bad opportunity and was the first to run away, not even caring about the life and death of his fellow disciples. At this time, he had already ran away a hundred feet away.
However, several golden-robed monks in mid-air smiled coldly, and then each raised their hands to perform a spell.
The seven "Candle God Puppet" opened their mouths at the same time, and thousands of golden streams of light poured down, as if a golden rain had fallen, covering the entire canyon.
Swish, brush, brush!
As the golden streamer fell, the canyon continued to wail.
In just a few breaths, all the monks who were talking about entering the valley just now were completely wiped out!
All the monks, including Yun Guzi, were pierced by those golden streams of light, and eventually turned into a pile of minced corpses.
The originally vibrant valley was left with only deathly silence.
After a while, a man in golden robe suddenly said:
"Go! See if they are all dead."
This person gave the order, and all the other monks jumped off the "Candle God Puppet" and began to inspect the corpses one by one along the mountain path.
However, just when everyone's attention was focused on the corpses, an inconspicuous black mosquito flew out from the crack in the cliff.
They didn't know what was so special about this mosquito, but the golden-robed monks actually turned a blind eye to it, as if they didn't see it, and allowed it to fly over their heads and go deep into the canyon.
