In the valley of Qiling Mountain, deep underground, in a dark and humid cave.
Lin Yueque was dressed in a green robe, standing leisurely with his hands behind his back.
At this time, the cave was eerily quiet. On one side were the people guarding Huangfu Qi, and on the other side was the acting palace lord of Bihai Palace in Wushuang City. They were supposed to be from the same camp, but now the atmosphere was a little subtle.
"Palace Master Lin, are you here too? This appointment at Cangnan Mountain to discuss Taoism is a trap. There are people from Guwang Mountain secretly setting up an ambush behind it. This is the center of the 'Daluotian Three Kings Array' they have arranged. Lin Palace
Since the Lord is here, please give me a helping hand!" True Lord Jiying said.
However, after he finished speaking, Lin Yueque didn't respond at all, and didn't even look at him. He only looked at Liang Yan.
"Liang Yan, Liang Yan, I really underestimated you! I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would have cultivated the first level of "Fish and Dragon Dance" to the state of great perfection. Even I can't easily perceive it.
When I got to your position, I almost missed it this time!"
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back.
"Haha, you are a smart man. Since you can trace it here, you must be able to guess my purpose, right?" Lin Yueque said with a smile.
"You want me to teach you the formula of "Fish and Dragon Dance"?" Liang Yan asked tentatively.
"Teach me?"
Lin Yueque snorted coldly and said, "That was originally my thing, so you should return it to me!"
The exchange between these two people caused Zhenjun Jiying and Cang Yueming to be confused. However, they were not stupid people. Now, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Palace Master Lin, now that the formation is right in front of you, why are you still reluctant to take action? Aren't you afraid that things may change?" True Lord Jiying asked with a wary expression.
"Don't be stupid." Liang Yan didn't look back and just said calmly: "Not only will this Palace Master Lin not destroy the formation, but he will kill all of us who are in the way!"
As soon as he said this, True Lord Jiying and Cang Yueming changed their expressions at the same time, but before they could react, a loud noise broke out from the altar.
Several people turned their heads to look at the cauldron at the same time, only to see dense cracks appearing on the surface of the cauldron, and shrill wails came from inside. It didn't sound like human voices, but more like insects.
At the same time, the blood-colored lotus platform underneath was completely shattered by the glow, turning into pieces of broken flowers and leaves, falling downward into the pool.
"Is the formation eye going to be broken?"
True Lord Jiying and Cang Yueming both showed expressions of joy. Looking at the big seal in mid-air, a powerful momentum was erupting and it hit the cauldron hard.
boom!
There was another loud noise, and the Formation Eye Magical Artifact was shattered into pieces. A stream of green smoke came out from inside, and a huge worm could be vaguely seen. However, it was already riddled with holes. After a while, it would be gone.
Completely dissipated in mid-air.
Liang Yan was quite surprised to see that the formation was destroyed like this. He glanced at Lin Yueque, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, and asked with some surprise: "You won't stop it?"
"Haha, you don't really think that as long as you destroy the formation here, everything will be safe on Cangnan Mountain today, right?" Lin Yueque suddenly laughed.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Liang Yan frowned.
"Don't you understand yet?"
Lin Yueque's cold voice slowly sounded: "The 'Daluotian Three Kings Formation' is not our real killing move. No matter whether this formation can be activated or not, everyone on Cangnan Mountain will definitely die today!"
At the same time that Liang Yan and others destroyed the formation, they were on the top of Cangnan Mountain.
Master Lianxin persuaded everyone to stop and make peace, and to take out all the "six-finger bones" in his hand, so that the Tianji box could be found.
Wu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and then said: "The cause of Feng Yulan's death back then was a mystery. We only knew that he failed to escape the catastrophe, but we didn't know where he died. Moreover, his remains were scattered all over the place after his death.
Our Wushuang City has spent many years, but we have only found three of them. Twenty years ago, we lost one of them, but unexpectedly it was in the hands of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce and fellow Taoists!"
Master Lianxin heard what he was saying and immediately laughed and said: "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist Wu Ci, the young monk also got this finger bone by chance not long ago. At that time, he killed several juniors in the territory of Tianhe City and took it from their storage."
This finger bone was found in the bag. The young monk knew that this was the body of fellow Taoist Feng Yulan. He also heard about the agreement between the Nine Great Sects and Wushuang City on Cangnan Mountain, so he traveled day and night to get here, hoping to resolve the two sides.
The contradiction also makes the rare treasure 'Tianji Box' reappear in the world!"
His face remained calm, his tongue was as bright as a lotus flower, and he never mentioned the secret smuggling of contracts in Tianhe City. He only described himself as a compassionate and virtuous monk with a warm heart. Several palace lords present and the head of the palace heard this.
They all had some suspicions, but couldn't find any flaws for the time being.
Wu Ci glanced at Master Lian Xin and thought to himself: "This great monk is full of benevolence and righteousness, but he doesn't know whether what he says is true or false. That's all. That's it for today. Let's see what he says next."
He thought for a while and then said: "Okay, you are the descendant of the Angry Monk. Wu Mou believes in your character for the time being. It's just that there are so many monks here, belonging to different camps. Even if we can put aside the past suspicions and let the 'Tianji Box' be here
After birth, what happens after that?"
Regarding this problem, Master Lianxin had already anticipated it. At this moment, he laughed and said: "The young monk has a suggestion, please listen to it."
"Since these 'six-finger bones' were gathered together by the four forces, the Heavenly Machine Box naturally had a share. As far as I know, Wushuang City does not need the Heavenly Machine Box. It just wants to find the remains of fellow Taoist Qi Feng Yulan and send them to him."
Gathered together in one place. So no matter where the Tianji Box belongs today, the six finger bones will be returned to Wushuang City in the end."
When Master Lianxin said this, he clasped his hands together, smiled slightly, and continued:
"The 'Tianji Box' still has two chances to be used. The monk and the nine major sects each have one opportunity to use it at the top of Cangnan Mountain. As for the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce, they only need the box left after use, and we will wait for us to use the two boxes.
After using the opportunity for the first time, just hand the box to them."
"In this way, Wushuang City has all the remains, the monk and the nine major sects each have a chance to calculate the heavens and the earth, and the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce also gets the box they want. Isn't it the best of all worlds?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were people on the top of the mountain who couldn't hold it any longer. They heard the tiger layman say angrily: "You, great monk, have such a loud tone! I think you are just someone who can overcome three difficulties and overcome one disaster." With your cultivation level and being alone, how can you be qualified to share an opportunity to use it with our nine major sects?"
"Yes, this great monk is full of compassion and benevolence, but he really wants the Tianji Box? He is alone, how dare he make such a request from our nine major sects?!" Jin Guangxian also shouted angrily.
Although Shangguan Qianye didn't speak and even had a faint smile on his face, he secretly winked at the ghost-faced layman, Long Feiyu and others.
These people immediately understood and dispersed quietly, secretly surrounding Master Lianxin in the middle.
"Fellow Daoist Lianxin, you have also heard that the leaders of the nine major sects are gathered here today. Even though you are the descendant of the Angry Monk and a disciple of Buddhism, you cannot go against the trend." Shangguan Qianye said with a smile.
"hehe."
Master Lian Xin naturally noticed the actions of several people, but his expression did not change and he was still smiling.
"Fellow Taoist Tiger Hou, Fellow Taoist Jinguang, you just asked the young monk why he can share the heavenly machine box with the nine major sects? Hehe, this is what the young monk is relying on!"
While he was speaking, he took out a white jade box from his sleeve and raised it above his head.
Everyone looked at it at the same time and saw that inside the jade box, there was a slender finger bone, which was the "six-finger bone"!
"Shangguan Qianye!"
Master Lianxin changed his previous gentleness and shouted loudly: "If you dare to let them take a step forward again, the monk will immediately let the ashes of these remains disappear, and no one will get the heavenly machine box by then!"
He used magical powers in his voice, which spread far across the top of the mountain, and everyone present was slightly stunned.
"Friend Lianxin, don't be impulsive, everything is easy to talk about."
Shangguan Qianye put on a friendly expression and winked secretly. The leaders who were originally surrounding Master Lian Xin silently stepped back.
"Fellow Taoist, you are serious. Everyone is here just for the opportunity. I thought about it carefully just now. What you said is not unreasonable. These six phalanges are indispensable. If there is no one in the hand of fellow Taoist Lianxin, even if It is in vain for us to collect the remaining five. I will make the decision for the other sect leaders. The two opportunities to use the machine box today will be divided equally between the Taoist friends and our nine major sects."
Shangguan Qianye spoke eloquently, speaking in a gentle and gentle tone, just like having a gentle discussion with a close friend.
However, Master Lian Xin just sneered.
"Shangguan Qianye, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking! You can trick me into taking out my phalanges first and let the Tianji Box come out, and then we can attack in groups. My Lianxin fists are hard to beat with four hands. Naturally, I will not be your opponent. When you want it to be convenient and square, and when you want it to be round, just be round, it’s not up to you to decide!”
After hearing this, Shangguan Qianye's face gradually darkened, and he said coldly: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Fellow Taoist Lianxin, what do you want?"
"Hahaha!"
Master Lianxin laughed three times and said loudly: "Shangguan Qianye, I'm afraid you have forgotten that you are not the only one who has the final say on the top of Cangnan Mountain. There are also people from Wushuang City!"
As soon as he said this, all the eyes of the nine masters turned to Wushuang City.
Wu Ci had just been clasping his hands behind his back, watching with cold eyes, and not interrupting the conversation of several people. At this time, he was a little surprised when he heard Master Lianxin take the initiative to mention Wushuang City.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Lianxin still remembers our Wushuang City? Very good, very good, I wonder what we need to do?" Wu Ci smiled.
"Haha, I have long heard that Wushuang City is fair and strict, and acts with integrity. Therefore, I would like to ask a few Taoist friends to vouch for me. After the Tianji Box is released, I must first let me use it once, and then give it to Shangguan Taoist Brother
." Master Lianxin said unhurriedly.
"Friend Daoist, you made a good plan!"
Wu Ci smiled slightly and said: "You obviously want to share the opportunity to use the Tianji box with the nine major sects, so why do you want to involve us in Wushuang City? In other words, do we have any reason to help you?"
"Of course you have a reason to help me!"
Master Lianxin shook the jade box in his hand and said: "Wu Shuang City does not need the Tianji box. What it needs is the finger bone in my hand. After the Tianji box comes out, you must ensure that the young monk can get a chance to use it. In this way
Only then will the young monk give it to you as desired. Otherwise, the ashes of this finger will be destroyed immediately by the power of the Vajra!"
After Wu Ci heard this, his eyes flashed, he was silent for a moment, and then he slowly said:
"As expected of the descendant of the Angry Monk, this trick of catching one fish and eating three is really exquisite. It's just that your Excellency is so scheming, but it is very different from the master's character, which can't help but make people sigh."
Master Lianxin naturally heard the sarcasm in his tone, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he smiled and said:
"In the past, when the Buddha became enlightened, he once said: 'I am the only one in heaven and on earth!' This is the true self that is neither born nor destroyed, nor stained nor pure, nor increased nor diminished. The young monk has a little spiritual light in his heart and can see the true self, so why bother?
Sticking to means and methods? The master of course has great supernatural powers and great wisdom, but the way of the little monk may not be the great way!"
"You monk, I can't speak to you!"
Wu Ci shook his head angrily and sighed: "Forget it, before the city lord disappeared, he once told me many times that Feng Yulan had made great contributions to Wushuang City. No matter what the cost, you would collect his remains."
We Wushuang City agreed to the conditions just mentioned."
His words showed that Wushuang City would support Master Lianxin, and now the nine major sects could not help but disagree.
Shangguan Qianye listened to the conversation between the two and was secretly annoyed.
However, he then thought about it, if Master Lianxin and others did not come today, he would lose to Wushuang City in five gambling games. In this way, not only would he not be able to see the Tianji Box, but he would also lose the two chips in his hand.
Now, although Master Lian Xin wants to be given an opportunity to use it, he can still get an opportunity anyway, so this trip to Cangnan Mountain will not be in vain.
He thought through the stakes involved, nodded in a pretense of difficulty, and said: "Well, since it is Wu Ci who has spoken, our nine major sects will sell Wushuang City to save face, and this matter will be treated as such.
Do what Fellow Taoist Lian Xin says."
"Amitabha, these two Taoist friends are willing to put aside their grudges and put aside their swords. As a result, the fate of the entire Wushuang Realm has been preserved. This is an act of immeasurable merit!"
Master Lianxin clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, as if he was really here to reconcile grievances. Everyone else looked at this and sneered in their hearts.
At this time, Qianlong glanced at the two people fighting in the sky and said with a smile: "Since everyone has reached an agreement, let's ask fellow Taoist Gongye to use his magical powers and come down with fellow Taoist Lu."
"That's how it should be."
Wu Ci nodded slightly and called out, "Good disciple, that's the end of today's competition. Come back soon."
Although Gong Yehong was fighting in mid-air, he still saw what happened just now. When he heard the master's call, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, extinguished the wind, thunder and fire, and collected the mustard seed space.
In his sleeves, he turned around and returned to the crowd in Wushuang City.
