After leaving Guangling City far away, on a remote path, the mosquito stopped.
Immediately afterwards, countless green streams of light emitted from the mosquito's body, surrounding it, spinning faster and faster, and finally formed a small ram's horn whirlwind.
After a while, a tall man in gray clothes walked out of the green glow.
He looked around and scanned the circle with his spiritual consciousness. After confirming that there were no other monks nearby, he raised his hand and patted the green gourd on his waist.
A ray of white light came out from the mouth of the gourd and fell in front of him, revealing four figures, none other than Xuanyuan Lingwei and her three subordinates.
"It's so dangerous. I didn't expect that the city lord of Guangling City, Zhu Youqing, had actually colluded with Xuanyuan Haoyu. If fellow Taoist Liang hadn't helped me this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy for us to get out of Guangling City." Tan Youli was a little scared.
said.
"Thank you so much, Brother Liang!"
Xuanyuan Lingwei cupped her hands to Liang Yan, then smiled and said: "The longer I stay in contact with you, the more I feel that fellow Taoist is unfathomable. The restrictions in Guangling City were personally arranged by General Tianwei. What methods did fellow Taoist use?
, can you actually hide it from the sky?"
"It's just a small trick."
Liang Yan smiled slightly and did not comment on Xuanyuan Lingwei's compliment.
It was Liang Yan's idea that they leave the city this time, using the name of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce to trick them into opening the city gate. Just in case, he put everyone in his Taixu Gourd.
Liang Yan himself used the "Soul Seed Technique" to plant a ray of soul into the mosquito's body, and then used the "Soul Separation Secret Technique" to swap places with the mosquito, so he left Guangling City without anyone noticing.
No restrictions were triggered in the middle.
However, Liang Yan would never reveal any of these secret techniques. Xuanyuan Lingwei and others entered the Taixu Gourd and were already outside the city gate when they came out. They had no idea what methods Liang Yan used.
Xuanyuan Lingwei saw that he was unwilling to say more, so she wisely did not ask any more questions, but turned her head and took one last look in the direction of Guangling City.
"Guangling City, second brother. Huh, the fact that you are so mobilizing troops and mobilizing people now shows that you have something evil in your heart! Forget it, I will just let you be free for a few more days. When the time comes, I will make your crimes known to the public!"
After muttering to herself, Xuanyuan Lingwei turned around, never looked at Guangling City again, and followed Liang Yan to fly towards Jiuyun Mountain.
Half a day later, five rays of light flew over the Cuiyun Mountains.
These five rays of light stopped at the entrance of Luofeng Temple. They were Liang Yan, Xuanyuan Lingwei and others.
Just a month ago, they had just come to Luofeng Temple. The difference was that that time they took the Luan Car with great pomp, but this time it was quiet, and even the light was as restrained as possible, as if
Don't want anyone to know.
The monk guarding the door recognized several people, and everyone had a surprised expression on their face.
"Your Highness, why are you here suddenly?" One of the young monks stepped forward, clasped his hands and saluted.
"I have something to do at the moment and I haven't notified you in advance. Please let me know." Xuanyuan Lingwei was very polite and had a kind smile that made people feel like spring breeze. She didn't have the airs of a princess at all.
"That's it. Your Highness, please wait a moment."
The young monk nodded, turned around and walked inside. Not long after, Huitong hurried over with a group of disciples. When he saw Xuanyuan Lingwei, he immediately smiled and said: "Amitabha, the princess is here, we are so far away."
Welcome and hope for atonement!"
"It doesn't matter, it's my sudden visit that disturbed your temple's renovation." Xuanyuan Lingwei smiled apologetically.
"The host has been notified just now. He is waiting in the main hall. Your Highness, please come with me." Huitong turned around and made a "please" gesture.
Xuanyuan Lingwei nodded and followed Huitong, while Liang Yan, Zheng Gongbu, Tan Youli and others also followed closely, walking all the way towards the main hall of Luofeng Temple.
After not seeing each other for a month, Luofeng Temple is still the same as the last time I visited. The whole temple is clean and tidy, the stairs are filled with the elegant fragrance of flowers, and the sound of chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha can be heard faintly in the surrounding Buddhist halls.
Unknowingly, Xuanyuan Lingwei, Zheng Gongbu and others were also affected by the quiet atmosphere, and their originally tense and irritable mood gradually relaxed.
"Luofeng Temple is worthy of being the true biography of Buddhism. Just the sound of chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha can stabilize the Taoist mind and get rid of distracting thoughts."
Xuanyuan Lingwei secretly praised it, and felt a little more favorable towards Luofeng Temple in her heart.
However, when several people walked through a tree-lined path and approached the door of a Buddhist temple, Liang Yan suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Brother Liang, why don't you leave?" Zheng Gongbu turned around with a confused expression.
Huitong and Xuanyuan Lingwei, who were walking in the front, obviously noticed it and stopped at the same time. Huitong turned around and said with a smile: "Why did this donor suddenly stop moving forward? As long as he passed through this Buddha...
Then we arrived at the main hall of our temple, where the abbot is waiting for you."
"Through the Buddhist hall?"
Liang Yan suddenly sneered, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"After entering from here, we are afraid that we will die when we come out!"
This sentence was said so suddenly that Xuanyuan Lingwei, Tan Youli, Zheng Gongbu, and Zishan were all slightly startled.
However, the next moment, they reacted immediately.
"Protect Your Highness!"
Zheng Gongbu shouted loudly, and the other two people rushed forward instantly, protecting Xuanyuan Lingwei in the middle.
These three people had seen Liang Yan's abilities and believed in him, so after hearing Liang Yan's reminder, they directly protected Xuanyuan Lingwei without any hesitation.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Huitong's face was full of confusion. He looked at Liang Yan, then at Xuanyuan Lingwei, and slowly said: "Your Highness suddenly came to pay homage to the mountain. We at Luofeng Temple have always treated each other with courtesy, but we don't know where we offended him."
This donor slandered us as soon as he opened his mouth."
"snort!"
Liang Yan snorted coldly, not bothering to talk nonsense with him. He flicked his right hand and a sword energy shot out, hitting Huitong in the face.
One moment, Huitong was pretending to be dumbfounded, but the next moment his pupils suddenly shrank. Seeing the sword energy roaring in, he rolled on the spot and turned into a ball of black smoke that dispersed around. In an instant, he was
Disappeared.
"What an eminent Buddhist monk, but he is using the magic power of the Demon Sect! How about it? He has revealed his true form, right?"
Liang Yan sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.
At this time, Xuanyuan Lingwei and others also understood their situation, and each used their spiritual light to protect their bodies. Among them, Zheng Gongbu, Tan Youli, and Zishan even used their own magic weapons, as if they were there.
The warning look of a powerful enemy.
In mid-air, a mass of black energy slowly condensed, and finally a figure appeared.
This man was wearing a black robe, with a horse face and a long nose. He had a dagger stuck in his waist and his eyes were very sinister.
"You are Fan Zuo of the Shadow Guard! Why do you appear here?"
Xuanyuan Lingwei recognized the person at a glance, with a look of surprise on her face.
But the next moment, she reacted immediately, her face turned a little pale, and she murmured: "Have your shadow guards also been bribed by the second brother?"
"Hey, Sixth Princess, it's not the villain who deliberately wants to embarrass you. It's just that the Second Prince is at the top of his game now. He wants your life, so I have to obey!" Fan Zuo sighed, with a hint of sympathy on his face.
color.
"Hmph, stop being so hypocritical here. Don't you Shadow Guards only obey orders from your father? Now you actually dare to hunt me blatantly. I'm afraid my second brother has given you a lot of benefits!" Xuanyuan Lingwei sneered, with a twinkle in his eye.
A flash of cold light passed.
"It's useless to say more, just capture him first and then search for his soul!"
Liang Yan didn't want to say anything at all, so he raised his hand and shot out a few more sword energy.
In fact, he is quite interested in this shadow guard. This person's cultivation in the middle stage of Xuanxuan was just now able to pretend to be Huitong and hide it from his own eyes and ears. If he hadn't discovered a flaw around the Buddhist hall, he would have checked it carefully again.
This person, I'm afraid, will really be fooled by him.
Seeing three rays of sword energy roaring towards him, Fan Zuo remained unhurried and repeated his old tricks. His whole body turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Although the others were invisible, the voice came out from the void:
"If you guys haven't taken action yet, how long are you going to wait? Don't let us shadow guards act as pawns and scapegoats for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sigh came from the backyard of the Buddhist hall, and then seven figures ran up the high wall, dividing themselves in seven different directions, surrounding Xuanyuan Lingwei and others.
These seven people were all wearing red official uniforms. Some were holding a writing brush, some were holding a jade tablet, some were holding a seal, some were holding a long mace, some were holding a long whip, and some were holding a sword.
A bamboo stick, and some folded a wicker stick, almost all dressed as scribes, looking elegant and outstanding.
"Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove?"
Xuanyuan Lingwei was slightly startled, obviously not expecting these seven people to appear here.
After a moment of silence, the princess said in a harsh voice: "I didn't expect that even the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, who have always had high standards of self-esteem, actually turned to my second brother?"
Among the seven people, a tall, middle-aged man with a majestic face said in a deep voice: "Princess, what you said is wrong. Your second brother is originally the person in power appointed by His Majesty. Our service to His Highness is equivalent to our service to the city lord.
Why do you think of taking refuge?"
"Yes, although your second brother has a perverse personality, he is the person chosen by the city lord after all. We are also acting under orders. Please ask the sixth princess to come with us!" Another old man holding a seal in his hand said slowly.
.
"Come with you?" Xuanyuan Lingwei laughed: "My second brother and I have been fighting for so long, and there is no trace of brother-sister relationship anymore. If I go with you, can he let me go?"
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. After all, he is your second brother. As long as you surrender and promise not to embarrass him in the future, I believe that the second prince will not attack you." Another monk holding a jade plate in his hand spoke slowly.
, although this person is a man, his voice is very soft, which makes people feel an inexplicable sense of trust as soon as they hear it.
However, Xuanyuan Lingwei sneered repeatedly, obviously not moved by his words, and instead looked at Liang Yan.
The two of them exchanged glances, and Liang Yan understood it in his heart. He didn't need to say anything at all. With just a thought, a thousand-year-old tree in the courtyard immediately rose from the ground, turned slightly in the air, and emitted infinite sword intent.
"what is that?"
When the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest saw this scene, their faces changed slightly, some were puzzled, and some had solemn eyes.
"Am I dazzled? This doesn't seem to be a wood-attribute spell. Why does that ancient tree in the air look like a flying sword?"
"Such a strong sword spirit! Could it be that he is a sword cultivator?"
"Be careful, this guy is not simple!"
Just when they were stunned for a moment, the ancient tree rushed over from the air. The end of the trunk was extremely sharp, as if the tip of a sword was pointing directly at the seven people.
The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest secretly exchanged glances, and the monk holding the seal shouted:
"Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man threw the seal in his hand into the air, and then pinched the magic formula. The seal quickly grew in size, as if a hill fell from the sky and suppressed it above the ancient tree.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the seal and the ancient tree collided together. Countless purple lights flickered, and runes sprouted from underneath the seal, as if they were going to be carved into the inside of the ancient tree, completely suppressing this magical power.
However, those runes had just appeared, and the trunk of the ancient tree spun around in place, and countless sword energy rushed out, like thousands of troops. In just a moment, these runes were smashed to pieces!
Brush! Brush! Brush!
These sword energies broke through the runes, and without stopping, they rushed upward and penetrated into the seal. Fine cracks that were visible to the naked eye immediately appeared!
The monk who threw out the seal never expected that the sword energy in the ancient tree could be so powerful, and that just a meeting would destroy his own magic weapon!
"Brother! Take the magic weapon back quickly!"
Among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the monk holding the jade plate in his hand shouted and raised his hand lightly. A large hand as white as jade immediately appeared from the jade plate. He grabbed it forward and directly grabbed the root of the ancient tree.
The ancient tree that was originally coming at a fast speed slowed down a lot under the obstruction of this big hand. The monk who had been there also had time to breathe and hurriedly took back the seal with a move of his hand.
At the same time, the other five people from the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest also came around behind Liang Yan, each using their magical powers.
Someone used a writing brush to write and draw in the air, and many tadpole-like insects emerged. They burrowed into the ancient tree one after another, gnawed the bark of the ancient tree, and pulled out the roots of the ancient tree. In just an instant, the ancient tree was destroyed.
It's riddled with holes.
Four more people came to beat Liang Yan with maces, long whips, bamboo sticks, and wicker sticks. The first two magic weapons were full of murderous intent, but the last two magic weapons were silent. One was correct and the other was strange. They worked together in perfect harmony.
"The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest have some tricks up their sleeves!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and stayed on the ground. Just with a thought, the surrounding stone walls shattered inch by inch, and countless gravel flew into the air, condensing into a stone sword!
The sword intent on this stone sword was so strong that it was a bit stronger than the previous tree sword. The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest were caught off guard. They didn't expect that while controlling the ancient tree, he could actually evolve a flying sword!
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the stone sword held up the long mace and long whip, and was thrown into the air, immediately sending the two of them flying backwards.
