The two high-fived each other three times, each time breaking up immediately.
When he high-fived for the second time, a black energy that was so subtle that even his spiritual consciousness could not detect it surged out from Lin Fan's palm and penetrated into Liang Yan's palm at the moment of high-fiving.
When he high-fived for the third time, a faint hint of gray air also emerged from the soles of Liang Yan's feet, moved forward along the ground, and soon climbed up to Lin Fan's ankles, taking the opportunity to get into the opponent's legs.
in vivo.
"Haha, high five, the covenant is made!"
Lin Fan took a step back and laughed: "From today on, Brother Liang and I are in the same boat."
"That's right!" Liang Yan nodded and said solemnly: "Everything is unknown during the trip to Suixu Mountain. We must be careful and do not disclose our alliance unless absolutely necessary."
"It should be so!" Lin Fan showed an expression of deep approval.
"Now that the covenant has been made, Liang will not bother you here anymore. After three days, we will repair the Demon Locking Tower together. Now let's say goodbye!"
"Okay, Brother Liang, let's go slowly." Lin Fan smiled slightly, making people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
Liang Yan nodded, without saying anything more, turned around and walked out of the tent, walking away to the other side of the square.
Watching the other person's back gradually retreating, Lin Fan squinted his eyes in the tent, and the smile gradually faded from his face.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and an invisible barrier instantly appeared around the tent, completely isolating the atmosphere inside from the outside world.
At this time, Lin Fan's face was very gloomy. He sat down in his seat and suddenly said: "What do you mean? The 'Tian Ming Ghost Seed' is so precious, why waste one on this person?"
"
This question was asked very abruptly, and there was no other person in the entire tent except him. It seemed like he was talking to himself.
However, a moment later, a voice actually replied: "Boy, what have I asked you to do that has never been of great benefit to you? Just follow my instructions, why bother to ask questions?"
The voice that answered Lin Fan actually came from the black ring on his finger!
"snort!"
Lin Fan snorted coldly and said with an indifferent expression: "It was okay before, you did your best to me, but as my cultivation level has improved, your instructions have become more and more weird and unpredictable, which often makes me confused.
,How does this make me trust you?”
"Lin Fan!"
The voice in the ring became louder and seemed to be full of anger: "You ungrateful boy, you were just a waste of the Lin family back then. As the son of the head of the family, you enjoyed all kinds of resources but could never break through to the peak of the Golden Core! Those brothers of yours
Sister, who wouldn’t ride on your head and dominate you? If I hadn’t picked me up under the cliff, taught you the ropes, and protected you all the way, you could have cultivated from the peak of Jindan to the peak of Tongxuan in just two hundred years.
?”
After being reprimanded by the voice in the ring, Lin Fan seemed to realize that he was wrong and did not retort, but his face was still very gloomy.
"well"
The voice in the ring sighed and said: "I know you are reluctant to part with that 'Tian Ming Ghost Seed', but I tell you the truth, this kid in front of you is your opportunity! He has countless treasures, as long as you kill him, you can seize it
With the opportunity he has, you can soar into the sky!"
"Is this true?!"
Lin Fan, who was originally a little gloomy, immediately stood up from his seat after hearing these words, his expression a little excited.
"Of course! When has I ever deceived you? If my calculations are correct, this time is your biggest opportunity. As long as you get the treasure from him, it will be better than the sum of your previous gains!" The voice in the ring laughed.
road.
"Then why didn't you take action just now?"
After Lin Fan got excited, he frowned and said: "Although the 'Tian Ming Ghost Seed' is colorless, tasteless, formless, and extremely difficult to be detected, its function is only to lock the opponent's position within a certain range. It cannot be relied on such
Something to kill him."
"Hmph, of course I know! The reason why I let you take the opportunity to plant the 'Tian Ming Ghost Seed' is to lock in his aura."
The voice in the ring paused and then said slowly: "Don't underestimate this person. His methods are extraordinary. With your current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat him alone. You will have to be assisted by me."
But if I take action, I will definitely leave traces, and the ghost-hand scholar will inevitably find out the clues, which will affect your chance of Shattering the Void Mountain this time."
"So our best strategy is to make friends with this person first and deceive his trust during the discussion trip to Suixu Mountain. After the discussion at Suixu Mountain is over, you can leave with this person. By then we will be on the road
If you do it, won’t you be unaware of it?”
"I see."
After hearing this, Lin Fan suddenly understood. While he was convinced, there was also a look of guilt on his face.
"Lao Jie has thought every possible way and made careful plans for me, but I judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I am really ashamed."
Having said this, Lin Fan suddenly gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a great determination. He raised his hand and pointed it like a sword, and actually cut off a strand of long hair on the back of his head.
"I, Lin Fan, cut off my hair here to swear that I will live up to Jie Lao in this life. When I succeed in my cultivation, the first thing I will do is to reshape my body for Jie Lao!"
"hey-hey."
The voice in the ring laughed dryly and said slowly: "It's hard for you kid to have such a heart, but your most important task now is to improve your cultivation level. This time Suixu Mountain and his party hope to find you.
opportunity."
"Thank you for the auspicious words from Jie Lao!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
After leaving Lin Fan's tent, Liang Yan did not stay in White Jade Square, but found an ice cave at random in the city. After setting up a layer of restrictions around it, he used it as his temporary cave.
He sat cross-legged and meditated in the ice cave, and through meditation, he quickly replenished the spiritual energy he had lost along the way.
A few hours later, Liang Yan slowly opened his eyes.
"The appointment between Tianjiao and Taoism is indeed full of dangers. We have encountered so many troubles before we even reach Suixu Mountain. Now it seems that this should be the first step of the test for the ghost-hand scholar. Only by passing through the 'Flying Fish'
Only those geniuses who successfully arrive at Suixu Mountain in the "Fifteen Continents" are eligible to participate in his appointment to discuss the Tao."
Liang Yan has a clear mind, and now, he thinks he can guess some of the ghost-hand scholar's intentions.
"And this Lin Fan is not a simple character either!"
Thinking of Lin Fan, Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
This person clearly has a strong evil spirit, but on the outside he is pleasant and approachable.
He used some secret method to cover up the evil spirits on his body. Others might not be able to see it, but Liang Yan had the magical power of "Eight Divisions of Evolution" and was particularly sensitive to evil spirits. Lin Fan couldn't hide it from him no matter how well he concealed it.
This kind of evil star demon wants to show himself to be harmless to humans and animals, and even takes the initiative to form an alliance with him. There must be something fishy in it!
Liang Yan is not a good person. Although everything is just a guess, he believes in the principle of striking first and gaining the upper hand. Taking advantage of the opportunity of forming an alliance, he quietly planted a restriction in the opponent's body.
This restriction was very clever, and when Liang Yan made his move, he activated the Tianji Bead in his body to block the aura of this restriction, so he was very confident that Lin Fan would not be able to detect what he had done.
This restriction is not very harmful and can only temporarily disrupt the opponent's spiritual power. If Lin Fan has advanced cultivation, he can easily suppress this restriction.
But when a master fights, every detail counts! If two people are evenly matched, at the critical moment of the fight, the spiritual power in the body will be chaotic for a moment, and the opponent will immediately catch the flaw, and even life or death will be determined!
Liang Yan left this hidden move behind just to be wary of Lin Fan. If he didn't come to provoke him, forget it. If he had any evil plans against him, then this hidden move would be effective.
"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, I hope we are friends and not enemies, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel!" Liang Yan murmured to himself.
Three days passed by in a flash.
In the early morning of this day, a large number of Kunji clan members gathered in one place, with several people gathered in the middle, namely the old clan leader Bouchard, Lin Fan, Liang Yan and Hongwu.
"Today is the day when the tide recedes. The 'Nine Cold Qi' has weakened a lot. It is the best time for us to repair the 'Monster Locking Tower'!" Lin Fan looked at Liang Yan and said in a deep voice.
Liang Yan nodded and said: "Liang understands that according to what we discussed before, after arriving at our respective locations, we will repair the Demon Locking Tower first. When we see the signal, we will infuse spiritual power at the same time to open the link between the two 'Demon Locking Towers' in the north and south."
aisle."
"Ugua, Ugua!"
Bouchard was also in high spirits, and surrounded by people from the Kunzhi tribe, he said something loudly.
"He said that the repair of the 'Monster Locking Tower' this time depends on the two of you. As long as the matter is successful, he is willing to send a large army to send you two safely out of Wuzhou." Hongwu translated from the side.
"You can rest assured that Liang will do his best!"
After Liang Yan asked Hongwu to translate, he said goodbye to Lin Fan, and then walked to the south to the Demon Locking Tower under the leadership of hundreds of Kunzha clan members.
Lin Fan glanced at his back and didn't say much. He also headed towards the Demon Locking Tower in the north under the leadership of the Kuntooth clansmen.
The further you go into Wuzhou, the thicker the "nine cold air" around you becomes.
After walking south for several hours, Liang Yan could already feel the biting cold. Even if he used the golden light of "Empty Phases of All Dharmas", he could only barely resist the cold.
Looking at the people of the Kuntooth Clan, although they are naturally adapted to the environment here, they are still shivering under the bone-chilling cold air, and even their movements have slowed down a lot.
This is just the chill on the day when the "Nine Cold Qi" ebbs. If it is the day when the "Nine Cold Qi" completely breaks out, the chill here will be extremely terrifying!
"It seems that Bouchard is right. If the 'Nine Colds' are not suppressed, there will be no way to cross Wuzhou."
Liang Yan believed the Kunji tribe's statement to a certain extent, but he still had a doubt. The Demon Locking Tower locked monsters. Why could it suppress the "Nine Colds"? Could it be that.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan suddenly had a shuddering feeling. If there really was a big demon down here, judging from the terror of the "Nine Cold Qi", he would not be able to contend with it.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much. It's better to find the Demon Locking Tower as soon as possible and see if it can be repaired. There is only half a year left before the appointment at Suixu Mountain. If there is really no other way, we must withdraw from Wuzhou as soon as possible and change to something else.
route."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan quickened his pace again.
The group of people continued walking south for half an hour when they saw a fiery red nine-story tower appearing in front of them.
Liang Yan raised his eyes and saw that the pagoda was shaped like spring bamboo shoots, thin and tall, with a top like a cover, a pagoda like a vase, and a color as bright as fire. It looked out of place in this white and snowy world.
"Ugua, Ugua!"
The Kunzha clan members beside them all stopped and whispered something.
"They said that this is the Demon Locking Tower. This is the holy land of the Kunzhi people. They cannot enter it without the permission of the clan leader." Hongwu translated from the side.
"I see, then let them wait here and let the two of us go in and take a look."
After saying these words, Liang Yan took Hongwu and walked towards the Demon Locking Tower.
The Demon Locking Pagoda is a hundred feet high and is red in color. The north side of the pagoda seems to have been hit by a strong external force. The tower body is slightly distorted and there are many cracks on the tower wall.
"It is true that a powerful external force hit the pagoda. Judging from the traces, this kind of damage does not seem to be intentional, but rather seems to have been affected by the aftermath of the fighting. It seems that what Bouchard said is right, it should be caused by the monk.
It has been affected by the secular war."
Liang Yan observed carefully for a moment, without stopping outside, and took Hongwu into the Demon Locking Tower.
Entering the first floor of the pagoda, you can see various arrays arranged inside, as well as a dazzling array of magic weapons such as copper coin evil swords, Bagua spiritual mirrors, white jade whisks, etc., all of good quality.
The first three floors are almost like this. The further you go up, the fewer the magic weapons and arrays are, but the quality is also better. On the fourth floor, there are no more magic weapons and arrays, replaced by various mysterious statues.
They all appear to be members of the Taoist sect.
Liang Yan carefully observed these statues and felt that each one was unique. The arrangement in the pagoda coincided with the stars in the sky, forming a powerful magic circle.
Starting from this level, a lot of damage and displacement occurred. Fortunately, the damage was not serious. Liang Yan observed carefully for a while, then opened the bamboo slips Lin Fan gave him and began to repair the Demon Locking Tower according to the instructions above.
The repair method was not too difficult, but the process was very tedious. It took two hours to go up the Demon Locking Tower, and Liang Yan finally completed the repair of the Demon Locking Tower.
We reached the ninth floor, which is also the highest floor of the Demon Locking Tower.
There is nothing here, not magic weapons, arrays, statues, nothing at all. There are just many patterns carved on the walls, each one of which is extremely mysterious, profound and difficult to understand.
Liang Yan walked along the wall and read these runes from beginning to end. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that these runes looked familiar. Where had he seen them before?
