Liang Yan and Xiong Ba followed the memory in the wooden tablet and quickly found Ju, the disciple of Wuming Peak.
This is a valley with shaded green trees and gurgling spring water. There are hundreds of individual courtyards in the valley, with elegant houses and full of spiritual energy.
Liang Yan noticed that most of these disciple residences were empty and distributed throughout the valley, some by the waterfall, some in the woods, and far apart from each other.
"Wuzhuang Mountain is indeed a famous mountain. Only this one disciple lives there, and the spiritual veins below it are beyond those of ordinary large sects." Xiong Bawen said angrily.
Liang Yan nodded, looked down at the valley, and suddenly pointed to a remote corner of the valley and said, "Shall we choose the two caves over there?"
Xiong Ba looked in the direction he pointed and found a quiet pool. There were two caves above the pool. Because they were located in the corner of the valley, they were far away from the other caves, but the distance between them was not too far.
.
"Yes, that's right there." Xiong Ba nodded.
The two reached an agreement and soon walked down the valley to the chosen location.
Liang Yan took out the "Qingshan" disciple token and waved it gently in front of the courtyard. Immediately, a ray of rays of light burst out and shot into the attic of the cave mansion.
Soon, a crystal glow lit up in the sky above the attic, turning into a thin layer of restriction that enveloped the entire cave, indicating that there was already an owner here.
Liang Yan glanced at Xiong Ba and saw that the other party was doing the same thing, so he smiled slightly and said through a message: "Fellow Xiong Ba, now that we have successfully sneaked into Wuzhuang Mountain, the rest of the matter will depend on our own abilities. I hope everyone can succeed.
."
"Hehe, I hope so."
Xiong Ba laughed twice and strode into his cave.
Upon seeing this, Liang Yan also entered the cave and set up triple restrictions around the area before walking into his room.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, with only one landscape painting, one Tai Chi diagram, and the rest include tables, chairs, futons, bronze mirrors, etc.......
Liang Yan observed carefully for a moment and found that although there were not many pieces of furniture here, the placement and attributes coincided with the relationship between the five elements.
For example, the materials used for futons and straw mats are wood-attributed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, while the floor tiles below are cast from water-attributed spiritual stones. Water produces wood, and spiritual energy flows through it, and the cycle goes back and forth, endlessly.
There are many examples like this. A small room contains the five elements of spiritual energy, which are in harmony with each other. If you don't observe carefully, you may not be able to find it.
"If you practice the five elements magic here, you should get twice the result with half the effort."
Liang Yan smiled and carefully checked the room to make sure there was no hidden trap before sitting down on the futon.
He took out a red scroll from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it in front of him, and looked at it carefully for a while, with a look of contemplation on his face.
According to the map given by Tianji Shuangsheng, the target location should be right here.
It’s just that after so many years, the Tianji Pavilion ruins have long since disappeared, replaced by today’s Wuzhuang Mountain. The location marked on this map is difficult to determine...
But it's not completely impossible.
According to the markings on the map, the two saints of Tianji Pavilion had long anticipated the current situation. In order to protect the inheritance of Tianji Pavilion, once other monks arrived here and established a sect here, the ruins of Tianji Pavilion would be automatically hidden.
In order to allow future generations to obtain the inheritance of Tianji Pavilion, when the entrance disappears, two seals will appear around it.
These two seals can only be sensed by the Tianji Pearl. When the inheritor holds the Tianji Pearl and recites a spell near the seal, the seal will be automatically unlocked.
Once both seals are released, the exact location of the entrance will appear in the inheritor's sea of consciousness.
"Wuzhuang Mountain is so big. There are so many experts on the mountain and there are so many restrictions. It is obviously unrealistic to find the entrance directly in a short time. Now we can only activate the emergency plan and unlock the two seals first."
Liang Yan made a decision quickly.
In comparison, the two seals are easy to find. As early as the moment we entered Wuzhuang Mountain, the Tianji Pearl in the body had already sensed it. Up to now, this sense has become stronger and stronger, and the approximate identity of two of the seals has been determined.
direction.
"According to Tianji Zhu's prompt... the nearest seal should be in the north."
While Liang Yan was making calculations, he was also searching for the information in the wooden sign.
"North...according to this direction, we should have left Wuming Peak. Could it be...Darcissus Ridge?"
Liang Yan was slightly surprised when he got this conclusion.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. One of the seals is on Narcissus Ridge, and my current identity happens to be a disciple of Narcissus Ridge. Wouldn't this be convenient for me?
"God help me."
Liang Yan smiled and put the map in his sleeve.
It's three o'clock in the morning, and it's about to get dark.
As Xiong Ba said just now, the banquet has just ended and there are too many people and it is not suitable to take action. It is better to wait for another two hours and wait until the night is quiet before taking action.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan sat cross-legged on the futon and meditated, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and fell into trance...
Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, the moon went up to the atrium, and it was Haishi.
Liang Yan slowly opened his eyes from his trance.
He released his spiritual consciousness and found that the entire valley was quiet. Several fellow disciples from the Water Department had entered their caves and began to meditate in seclusion.
There was silence over Xiong Ba's side, and he didn't know if anyone else was still in the house.
"The time is almost up, now is the best time to act."
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up from the futon, and was about to push the door open and go out, looking for the first seal of Tianji Pavilion.
But at this moment, his face suddenly stiffened and his steps stopped in mid-air.
In the sea of consciousness, there was a wave of fluctuation that did not belong to him.
Immediately afterwards, a charming female voice sounded in my mind: "My darling, come to grandma quickly!"
Grandma Tianchi!
Sensing this fluctuation, Liang Yan instantly understood what was going on.
When I pretended to be Qingshan and met Grandma Tianchi for the first time, the other party directly took action and planted a puppet core in my sea of consciousness.
In this situation, it is obvious that Grandma Tianchi is activating the puppet core.
If it was the original Qingshan, and the ancestor of the robbery invaded his consciousness, he would definitely not be able to detect it, and he should have become a puppet controlled by the other party.
But what a coincidence, the original Qingshan has been replaced by Liang Yan. If Qingshan can be dealt with by these means, how can he be dealt with?
Liang Yan activated his spiritual consciousness and quickly wrapped the core of the puppet.
He didn't destroy it directly because he was afraid of alerting Grandma Tianchi and exposing his identity.
But now there is also a difficult problem before me: Facing Grandma Tianchi’s call, should I go or not?
Liang Yan hesitated for a moment.
If he had the choice, Liang Yan would certainly not want to pay attention to Grandma Tianchi. After all, the Tianji Pavilion inheritance was right in front of him, and other things were not important to him.
But once he rejects Grandma Tianchi, the other party will definitely know that there is something wrong with him, and it is hard to say what action he will take at that time.
Liang Yan fell into deep thought.
"This is Wuzhuang Mountain. If Grandma Tianchi uses some small means to make Lu Qinghe notice me, the consequences will be disastrous... After all, once suspicion arises, the best way is to verify it personally, and with Canglong, Lu Qinghe
If you really want to test my strength, I can’t cover it up.”
Thinking of this, Liang Yan actually made a decision in his heart.
"Well, there are two seals in Tianji Pavilion. They cannot be cracked in a short time. We should go to Grandma Tianchi first to see what she is up to. Maybe we can catch her."
Liang Yan made a decision and quickly walked out of his cave without hesitation.
The moment he went out, not far away, Xiong Ba's courtyard door was also pushed open.
Looking at this "comrade" who sneaked into Wuzhuang Mountain with him, Liang Yan knew that he had made the same choice as him.
When Xiong Ba saw Liang Yan, he sneered: "The old witch is really in trouble, so she summoned us two at night on the first day."
"It's not surprising. She came to Wuzhuang Mountain with ulterior motives. This woman looks vicious and thoughtful, but is actually as stupid as a cow. If we act together with her, we might also suffer."
After listening to Liang Yan's words, Xiong Ba pondered: "In your opinion, how should we deal with it? Go, or not go?"
"We definitely have to go. But...we can't do what she wants."
"Oh? How do you say that?" Xiong Ba's eyes lit up.
"The strength of the old witch is much higher than ours. The reason why she summoned us must be to take advantage of our status as disciples of Wuzhuang Mountain..."
When Liang Yan said this, he paused slightly and continued: "When we meet the old witch, no matter what orders she issues, we will use the disciple token to send the location of the operation to Lu Qinghe in advance, saying that we have discovered something strange and ask for help.
I came here to investigate. The best result is that the old witch is discovered and expelled from Wuzhuang Mountain, and we can sit back and relax. The worst result is that the old witch discovers Lu Qinghe, becomes afraid, and cancels the operation. Then
We also have one night of free movement and can do our own things.”
"Haha, what a trick for the bad guy to complain first!"
Xiong Ba laughed and said: "As expected of you, you are so cunning! Okay, let's do it like this!"
"Let's go."
The two of them no longer hesitated and left the valley at the same time, walking in the direction of Grandma Tianchi...
Half an hour later, the two arrived at a loft halfway up Wuming Peak.
This is Tianchi's grandma's cave. The two of them sent her here during the day, but they didn't expect to come here again at night.
Without any fluctuation, the attic's restriction automatically opened, welcoming Liang Yan and Xiong Ba in.
At this moment, both Liang Yan and Xiong Ba had put on dull expressions, their eyes were empty and lifeless, as if they were two walking corpses, completely different from just now.
Following the instructions of the voice in the sea of consciousness, the two quickly crossed the courtyard and reached the top floor of the attic.
In the room, stood a charming woman with a graceful figure, her back facing the door.
"See grandma!"
Liang Yan and Xiong Ba said almost in unison.
"Very good, very good, grandma's little sweetie, you are finally here."
The woman laughed, turned around, and looked at the two people up and down as if appreciating a work of art.
"I have to say that Wuzhuang Mountain is really a place of outstanding people. The male disciples here are all handsome, especially you two. Grandma, I like you from the bottom of my heart!"
Grandma Tianchi said, walking up to Liang Yan and Xiong Ba, her eyes flashing seductively.
Her hand first scratched Xiong Ba's chest, and then touched Liang Yan's cheek.
Neither of them moved, letting the girl do whatever she wanted.
"Tsk, tsk, what a good seedling! When grandma leaves Wuzhuang Mountain, she will make you into puppets and take her away with her."
Grandma Tianchi's face was full of smiles, and she murmured: "The man I like must stay with me forever. Good children, you don't have to wait too long. You will be my latest collection by then."
....."
Although her voice was charming, the viciousness in her tone made people shudder.
In this regard, Liang Yan remained expressionless, but there was a slight fluctuation in Xiong Ba's aura.
Grandma Tianchi frowned, glanced at Xiong Ba beside her, and said to herself: "Is it because my puppet core hasn't completely controlled this person's soul? That's all, it's more important to do business. These two people will wait until I finish.
Enjoy it again.”
Speaking of this, Grandma Tianchi's eyes flashed with a strange red light, and her voice seemed to have magic power:
"Raise your head and look into grandma's eyes."
Liang Yan, Xiong Ba did as he was told.
"You will die for grandma, right?"
Liang Yan, Xiong Ba nodded.
"There is an ancestral temple in the back mountain of Narcissus Ridge. Only the core disciples of Lu Qinghe can enter, right?"
Hearing this question, both of them hesitated.
As for the reason for hesitation, it is because this information is not written on the wooden sign!
After all, they are not Qingshan and Bishui themselves. All the information about Wuzhuang Mountain comes from the wooden sign given by Luo Qing.
The memory in the wooden tablet was extracted from the remnant souls of the dead disciples, and the information was incomplete. There was no record of the ancestral hall on the back mountain at all.
However, Liang Yan's mind was racing, and he hesitated for only a moment before blurting out: "Grandma is right, there is indeed an ancestral hall in the back mountain, and only core disciples of the Water Department can enter."
Hearing his answer, Xiong Ba immediately reacted and nodded: "Yes, it is true."
"very good!"
Grandma Tianchi showed a satisfied look on her face and said with a smile: "Grandma is going to get something from this ancestral hall. You are responsible for leading the way."
After saying that, she took out a bracelet from the storage ring and put it on Xiong Ba's right wrist.
As he silently recited the magic formula, Tianchi's body turned into a wisp of smoke, which soon penetrated into the bracelet on Xiong Ba's right hand, and no breath remained at all.
Xiong Ba remained expressionless, turned around, opened the door, and strode out.
But in fact, he secretly sent a message to Liang Yan: "This old witch is really cute and stupid. She is trapped in a cocoon like this. As long as we are willing, we can seal her in the bracelet immediately! Fellow Taoist Long Wu
, what do you think it should be?”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes flashed slightly.
Before coming, he might have agreed with Xiong Ba's proposal, but now, he has another idea in mind...
