Hearing Wu Xin's voice, Liang Yan gradually calmed down.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Wushuang City is also very important to me. To betray Wushuang City means betrayal, which has violated my bottom line.
Moreover, Shennong Hu promised himself only an opportunity. Even if he betrayed Wushuang City and joined Shennong Mountain, if he failed to pass the assessment of the first generation Shennong, he would still not be able to obtain the "Shennong Emperor Scripture".
Liang Yan secretly observed the expressions of the three elders and found that when they heard the word "assessment", they all closed their mouths in unison and did not protest like before.
It can be seen that this "assessment" will never be simple.
After thinking quietly for a while, Liang Yan had made a decision, glanced at the farmer, and said slowly: "Thank you Mountain Master for your kindness, but Liang has already joined Wushuang City, and I really don't want to do that treacherous thing. I can't help it."
Stay in Shennong Mountain."
Shennong Hu did not expect that he would give this answer, and said in surprise: "Why? Is Wushuang City so important to you? You must know that in the world, only the "Shen Nong Emperor Sutra" can cure the wounds of the great road on your body. If
If you give up this opportunity, your path to swordsmanship will stop here for life!"
"Sorry, there are some bottom lines in life that cannot be crossed."
Liang Yan's face was calm, but his eyes were very firm: "Lord Linghu has been very kind to me, and I cannot betray him. As for the wounds of the Dao in my body, I believe there are always other ways to solve it."
After hearing this, Hu Shennong's expression changed again and again, and he stared into Liang Yan's eyes.
After a long time, the mountain master of Shennong Mountain sighed, with a look of emotion on his face, and said slowly: "Your Excellency's character is admirable; Senior Linghu's demeanor is also fascinating! In this case, I will not
No matter how reluctant you are, although I can't show you the "Shennong Emperor Sutra", as long as you guide Qingqing's swordsmanship with your heart, I will try my best to provide you with the resources you need for practice."
"In that case, thank you Mountain Master."
Liang Yan bowed his hands to the Shennong Husband.
Although this visit failed to solve the problem of Dao Zhizhi, at least it did not cause any conflict with Shennong Hu. As for how to solve this problem, we can only discuss it in the long term after returning.
Liang Yan thought of this and said goodbye to the Shennong Husband. He was about to leave the Shennong Hall with Wu Xin when there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
Soon, a young man walked into the bamboo forest.
The person who came was none other than Qiu Xiangrong.
His steps were very hasty and he looked dusty. He must have just come back from outside. When he saw Liang Yan here, he just nodded slightly and looked at Shennong Hu.
"Report to the Mountain Master, there are new developments on the side of the Langhuan tribe!"
"oh?"
Shennong Hu was a little surprised. He looked around and said, "I am discussing this matter with three elders. What trouble did they make?"
"Them." Qiu Xiangrong glanced at Liang Yan and hesitated to speak.
"It doesn't matter, Fellow Daoist Liang is one of our own, you just need to report." Shennong Hu waved his hand and said.
"yes."
Qiu Xiangrong spoke again: "The monks from the Langhuan tribe gathered together in a short period of time to establish the Sun and Moon Alliance, and they have elected a leader. Now they are under the leadership of this leader.
We are heading towards Shennong Mountain, and we expect to reach the foot of Shennong Mountain in about three days."
"Sun-Moon Alliance?" Shennong Hu frowned and murmured: "Does this mean to 'change the sun and the moon, to create a new sky'?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three elders changed slightly.
"The ancestors of the Langhuan tribe have a close relationship with us. They have reproduced here for generations and have long been accustomed to the life in Langhuan Continent. They should not do such a thing. Someone must be instigating this behind the scenes. Shan
Lord, please handle this with caution and never break our incense relationship." The old man in purple robe said slowly.
"Well, of course I know the pros and cons."
Shennong Hu nodded, looked at Qiu Xiangrong, and asked: "Who is the leader elected by the Sun and Moon Alliance?"
"It's a man named 'Li Tianya'." Qiu Xiangrong replied.
"Li Tianya? Why don't I remember him? Which tribe is he from?"
"According to my investigation, this person seems to be a monk from the 'Shenmu Clan'. He has been a secretive person before, but on the day when the Sun-Moon Alliance was established, he defeated more than a dozen competitors and finally succeeded in taking the position of leader.
.”
"Li Tianya"
Shennong Hu seemed to have thought of something, and his face became a little gloomy.
He stood up, walked a few steps back and forth in the clearing in the forest, and then asked: "With so many people from the Langhuan tribe coming to our Shennong Mountain, has any news been released on the way?"
"They. They" Qiu Xiangrong's face showed hesitation, as if he didn't want to say any more.
"It's okay, don't have any scruples, just tell me everything you know." Shennong Hu said calmly.
"They said that Shennong Mountain was killing innocent people indiscriminately and was acting perversely. They asked us to hand over the murderer and asked the owner of the mountain to personally kneel down and keep vigil for those compatriots who died."
"That's unreasonable!"
Before Shennong Hu could speak, the three elders shouted loudly at the same time.
Just now they were advising Shennong to act with caution, but when they heard this, even they couldn't help it, and yelled loudly: "Damn it! These brats don't know what the heaven and earth are. The Shennong family has protected them for so many years, so they are just ungrateful.
You still insult the mountain owner like this!"
Among them, the old man in purple stepped forward and asked for orders from Shennong Hu: "Mountain Master, leave this matter to me! It's time to let them know the majesty of Shennong Mountain."
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Ai." Shennong Hu waved his hand with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a long while, the mountain master of Shennong Mountain slowly spoke again: "You should know that the monks of hundreds of tribes are actually the foundation of our Langhuan Continent. They practice the totem on the back of 'Juntian', and they will also...
Generating a power of faith, this power can be fed back to 'Jun Tian' itself, allowing it to practice stably. Therefore, the monks of the hundreds of tribes and the turtle 'Jun Tian' actually have a symbiotic relationship. Once the Bai Clan of Langhuan
If something happens to the monks, then our entire Langhuan Continent will also be subverted."
"this"
After hearing what Shennong Hu said, the three elders fell into silence at the same time.
After hearing this, Liang Yan, who was not far away, also showed a thoughtful look on his face.
At the Baisheng Clan's "Earth Spirit Conference" that day, he had seen with his own eyes that many of the Baisheng Clan's monks were meditating on totems, with faint haze floating around their bodies.
These hazes did not float into the sky, but instead all sank into the ground. Now that I think about it, these hazes should be the power of faith mentioned by Shennong Husband, and a kind of feedback from the monks of the Langhuan tribe to the turtle "Jun Tian".
"This matter is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled properly, it is likely to lead to a fight. When the time comes, there will be rivers of blood and countless casualties, which will be in line with the wishes of the Ye Ming Sect." Shennong Hu said slowly.
When the three elders heard this, they all calmed down.
"In this case, how does the mountain master plan to deal with it?"
"Haha." Shennong Hu smiled slightly and said: "Since they asked me to apologize, then I will go there myself!"
"What? Mountain Master, you want to see them in person?"
"That's right! Not only do I want to see them, but I also want to expose the Ye Ming Cult's conspiracy in public." Shennong Hu looked confident and said with a smile: "No conspiracy or trick can cause trouble in the face of absolute strength. I want to see it."
Let’s see who this Li Tianya is. Can he block my magical power of ‘Pure Heart Technique’? As long as he falls under my spell, he will obediently tell the story of the Ye Ming Cult. When the truth comes out, all the conspiracies will be made public.”
"I see."
After hearing this, the three elders all nodded slightly. Among them, the purple-robed old man even smiled and said: "The mountain master's plan is good. The gathering of hundreds of Langhuan clans is also an opportunity for us, a conspiracy to expose the Ye Ming Sect."
Opportunity to go public!”
"That's right, how do these clowns know how powerful our Shennong Mountain is? I would like to see how they dig their own graves!"
In the bamboo forest, Shen Nong was confident, chatting and laughing with the three elders, and seemed to have found a solution to the crisis.
Liang Yan listened clearly to what happened, but he was not as happy as Shennong Hu. Instead, he frowned.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter. I am afraid that the people of the Ye Ming Sect are not so easy to deal with. From the incident at Longding Mountain, it can be seen that these people act decisively and plan carefully, and they always like to have back-ups, even if they are in action.
If a problem occurs, it can be remedied in time.
They instigated hundreds of tribesmen in Langhuan and rushed to Shennong Mountain with such great fanfare. The reason behind them is worth pondering.
"Mountain Master, please forgive me for talking too much."
Liang Yan was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around and suggested to Shennong Hu: "I think Ye Mingjiao's move must have a deep meaning. You are the foundation of Shennong Mountain. You should not leave here hastily. As long as
If you sit in the mountains, these rats will have no chance."
After listening to Liang Yan's suggestion, the smile on Hu Shen Nong's face gradually faded. He stood there and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Well, what Fellow Daoist Liang said is not unreasonable. It's just that the Langhuan tribe is our brother.
, I don’t want to see the monks of Shennong Mountain and them fight each other. This conflict must be resolved after all. Well, for the sake of caution, I will receive the hundreds of tribes at the foot of Shennong Mountain. No matter what suspicions they have, I will
You can explain it clearly in person."
Hearing that Shennong Hu still insisted on going down the mountain, Liang Yan's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.
But then I thought about it, I am just an outsider to Shennong Mountain after all, and arbitrarily interfering with their high-level decisions is already crossing the line.
"Now that the mountain owner has made a decision, Liang can't say anything more. I wish the mountain owner a smooth trip and successfully dispel the suspicion of the Langhuan tribe." Liang Yan finally held back his words and only wished the mountain owner a smooth trip.
Everything went well for Shennong Hu.
"Haha, let me borrow the good words from my fellow Taoist." Shennong Hu touched his chin and said with a smile.
Next, Liang Yan and Wuxin said goodbye, and they left Shennong Hall at the same time and flew to their thatched cottages.
Half an hour later, in the thatched cottage.
Wu Xin and Liang Yan were each sitting on a futon, the former looked indifferent and the latter was worried.
"Just now in the Shennong Hall, you seemed not to be optimistic about Shennong Mountain's decision?" Wu Xin looked at Liang Yan's face and asked softly.
"Well, I always feel like there's something fishy here."
"Why do you say that?" Wuxin was a little puzzled and asked: "Shennong Hu is in the sub-sage realm. He appears as the master of Shennong Mountain. Many misunderstandings can be easily solved. As for the members of the Yeming Sect hidden in the crowd,
I believe it can’t be hidden from his investigation.”
"That's why I doubt it. The solution to this matter is too simple!"
Liang Yan took a deep breath and said slowly: "The Yeming Sect is secretly instigating conflicts between Shennong Mountain and the Langhuan tribe. I have known this for a long time. But I don't understand why they are so anxious to gather the monks from the tribes."
They got together and rushed to Shennong Mountain overnight. You must know that this is a risky move. They had the advantage, but now they gave Shennong Mountain a chance to make a comeback. The people of the Yeming Sect shouldn't be so stupid, I doubt it.
There are other calculations here.”
After listening to his analysis, Wu Xin nodded slightly and said, "Well, you are right. The more obvious something is, the less we should take it lightly."
"One more thing. That's time!" Liang Yan said again: "Don't you think this time is too coincidental? Not long after we arrived at Shennong Mountain, hundreds of Langhuan tribes gathered together, so they mobilized the Yeming Sect.
What exactly is the purpose?”
"It's indeed a coincidence. Is it because we have what they want?" Wu Xin said subconsciously.
"something you want"
The unintentional words seemed to wake up Liang Yan, making the latter's eyes light up and he suddenly raised his head.
Time passed by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, Liang Yan and Wu Xin have been living in seclusion in the valley. Except for occasionally giving guidance on Qing Qing and Gu Xingyun's sword skills, they spent the rest of their time meditating in seclusion in their thatched cottage and did not interfere with outside affairs.
.
It is said that the trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Although the entire Shennong Mountain seems quiet on the surface, it is actually an undercurrent.
Many disciples from Shennong Mountain were sent out to secretly inquire about the movements of the Sun-Moon Alliance, but the Sun-Moon Alliance marched forward with great success and arrived at the border of Shennong Mountain half a day ago.
By this time, Shennong Mountain and the Sun-Moon Alliance were already at odds with each other. When the monks from both sides met, a conflict almost broke out and a war broke out.
Fortunately, Shennong Mountain sent an order in time, strictly ordering all the disciples not to cause trouble, and reached an agreement with the Sun and Moon Alliance to restrain their tribesmen respectively. When the next morning, the leaders of both sides would be on the "Lingdao Slope" at the foot of Shennong Mountain.
Meet to discuss matters.
The people on both sides temporarily stopped fighting and spent a peaceful night.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
The silk flags were fluttering on the "Lingdao Slope". On one side were the disciples of Shennong Mountain and on the other were the monks of the Langhuan tribe. The two sides gathered and faced each other across a winding river.
