Wuzhuang Mountain has a long history. At that time, Gan Daozi preached at Wuming Peak and divided the "Great Five Elements Yin and Yang Jue" into five different magical powers, namely "Beidou Wufeng Jue", "Qinglong Sutra" and "Blue Sea".
"Tide Life", "Burning Heaven's Heart" and "The Book of Transformation into Dust".
He passed on these five skills to his five disciples respectively, and set a rule that unless the life and death of Wuzhuang Mountain were in danger, the five skills could not be combined into one. Whoever can become a saint with this skill will be the next one.
The Lord of Wuzhuang Mountain.
Not long after that, Gan Daozi passed away due to serious injuries.
Before his death, he transformed into five spirits in one breath, and this resulted in the Yuan Zhen gold, Yuan Zhen wood, Yuan Zhen water, Yuan Zhen fire and Yuan Zhen soil that are now kept by various ministries.
After Gan Daozi died, the five disciples built new mountains around Wuming Peak, which are the five peaks representing the Five Elements, namely Jinjia Valley, Qingmu Cliff, Narcissus Ridge, Huoling Peak and Tushen Castle.
The five brothers made an agreement that whoever can become a saint can take over Wuming Peak and become the mountain master of Wuzhuang Mountain.
This provision continues to this day.
At this moment, Liang Yan was standing at the foot of the Tushen Castle.
According to the memory left by Qingshan in the wooden plaque, the current Lord of Tushen Castle is named "Su Dingshan". This man is extremely talented. Although he is the youngest monk in the Tribulation Realm in Wuzhuang Mountain, he is the most trusted by Canglong.
.
In the entire Wuzhuang Mountain, there are two people in Canglong who will never doubt him. One of them is Lu Qinghe and the other is Su Dingshan.
Qingshan's memory does not contain Su Dingshan's strength, so Liang Yan doesn't know either.
But he knew that the mountain-protecting formation in front of him was absolutely exquisite!
"The power of Hou Tu is endless and perfect. Isn't the restriction of 'Tu Shen Castle' a bit too perfect?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly and looked a little ugly.
Last night, although Huo Lingfeng's restraint was not bad, there were still some flaws, and Li Xiaosong was good at the way of flames. In the end, she found a way and successfully sneaked into Huo Lingfeng.
But in comparison, the defensive restrictions of the Tushen Castle are more sophisticated than those of the Fire Spirit Peak, and even Liang Yan's keen observation skills are difficult to find any flaws.
After a moment of silence, Liang Yan asked in a low voice: "Lao Jin, what do you think?"
Lao Jin is a ten-thousand-year-old demon who has practiced magical powers of wind and earth at the same time. He may have some unique views on this layer of defensive restrictions built by the power of earth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Jin flew out of the Taixu Gourd, transformed into a Taoist, and stood next to Liang Yan.
After carefully observing the barrier of Tushen Castle, he shook his head and said: "The people who arranged this barrier are extremely clever, and I feel that there seem to be treasures in the barrier that are secretly strengthening this barrier.
Even if you use the law of darkness to devour the barrier, you will be discovered immediately."
"Treasure?" Liang Yan had a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes, I can sense through this layer of barrier that there should be a treasure with wood attributes inside. It is very powerful..."
As he spoke, Lao Jin stretched out his hands and spread his fingers. A piece of yellow sand flew out from his palms, spread rapidly around, and soon covered the barrier in front of him.
He closed his eyes, and the spiritual power in his body was silently moving, as if he was sensing the situation in this layer of back soil barrier.
"The power of this treasure is a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere... Wait! I remembered, this is... the Exquisite Immortal Tree!" Lao Jin opened his eyes suddenly.
Eyes, mouth shouted.
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression changed slightly.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? How come the Exquisite Immortal Tree is in the 'Tushen Castle'?"
"Can't be wrong!"
Lao Jin said with great certainty: "This is the breath of the Linglong Immortal Tree! It's just sealed by the earth barrier of the 'Tushen Castle', so the monks outside the 'Tushen Castle' can't sense the slightest breath. If it weren't for
My natal talent is somewhat special, and now that I am located near the barrier, I will never be able to discover this secret!"
After hearing Lao Jin's answer, Liang Yan's face showed a thoughtful look.
Although he couldn't sense it himself, he completely believed in Lao Jin's judgment that the other party was a ten thousand year old demon. After practicing the earth magic power, he could spy on the situation inside the barrier at such a close distance, so the probability of making a mistake was very small.
In other words, Canglong did place the exquisite fairy tree in the "Tor God Castle"!
"No wonder this layer of enchantment is so perfect. It turns out that there is an exquisite fairy tree as the core of the formation, continuously providing power... From this point of view, let alone breaking the formation unknowingly, even if it is done openly and honestly
I’m afraid it will be difficult to even break through the formation.”
Thinking of this, Liang Yan's face gradually turned ugly.
I was unlucky this time. I didn't expect that the entrance of Tianji Pavilion happened to be at the place where Canglong used to hide the exquisite fairy tree. This undoubtedly made his actions more difficult.
If you can't break the barrier and you can't enter the inheritance place of Tianji Pavilion, wouldn't all your previous efforts be in vain?
Liang Yan felt that he was a little upset, so he quickly took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed down quickly.
There is something unusual about this matter. You must know that the Linglong Immortal Tree is the Canglong's support for overcoming calamities. Why would he put this treasure in the "Tushen Castle" instead of his own "Aoki Cliff"?
The barrier of Tushen Castle is so perfect, is there any secret in it?
"Now it seems that it is true that each of the twelve transformation calamities has his own agenda, but Canglong's master is probably not simple either..."
Liang Yan opened his eyes and murmured to himself.
Although there is no clear clue, he has a feeling in the dark that the Canglong Tribulation may not be as simple as it seems. Who is plotting against whom will be difficult to tell until the end.
"Boy Liang, this barrier is difficult to break with the strength of you and me. The only way is to break it with force, but this will inevitably arouse the alert of the entire Wuzhuang Mountain. If you can find it quickly after going up the mountain,
The entrance to Tianji Pavilion, entering the inheritance place of Tianji Pavilion, and cutting off contact with the outside world, you can give it a try..."
After observing for a long time, Lao Jin made his own judgment.
After hearing this, Liang Yan shook his head and said: "No! That would be too risky. As long as there is a slight mistake in the whole process, we will fall into a place of eternal disaster. And with the blessing of the exquisite fairy tree, even if we want to break the formation with force, I'm afraid
It’s all a bit difficult.”
"This is indeed a problem..." Lao Jin frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Linglong Immortal Tree is the inherited treasure of Wuzhuang Mountain. Even the Canglong Taoist relies on this thing to overcome the calamity and become a saint. With this
As long as things are there, the barrier is really difficult to break."
The two talked for a while but couldn't find a solution.
Liang Yan suddenly remembered the old tree spirit. At the banquet in Bihaiyun Palace three days ago, the exquisite fairy tree had been revealed once. At that time, he took advantage of the chaos in the space and put the old tree spirit into the roots of the exquisite fairy tree.
among.
If the Exquisite Immortal Tree is in the Tushen Castle, then the old tree spirit must also be inside.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan perked up and immediately used telekinesis to contact the other party to see if he could help him enter the Tushen Castle.
He stopped talking to Lao Jin, closed his eyes, and concentrated on the feeling for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, Lao Jin immediately asked: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
There was a hint of disappointment in Liang Yan's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "I can't contact him at all. It's like he's asleep and has no response to my call."
"Could it be blocked by a barrier?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Liang Yan sighed and continued: "It seems that this matter can't be rushed... Canglong Old Dao obviously doesn't want anyone to enter the 'Tushen Castle', which means he has some ulterior secrets here.
, if we forcefully break in, we will be his mortal enemy. Now there are undercurrents in Wuzhuang Mountain, and I don’t want to be the one who stands out."
"Then what should I do? I know the place I'm looking for is right in front of me, why don't I go in?"
"hehe."
Liang Yan suddenly smiled and said softly: "Wuzhuang Mountain is in chaos. Even if we don't take action, others will take action. I just don't want to be the one who stands out, but that doesn't mean I won't be the oriole."
"That makes sense!"
Lao Jin suddenly realized it and showed an expression of deep understanding.
"Let's go, let's walk around the Tushen Castle."
After Liang Yan finished speaking, he patted Lao Jin on the shoulder. The latter understood and transformed into a golden lion camel, carrying him on his back and flying slowly around the Tushen Castle.
During the process of circling the Tushen Castle, Liang Yan selected several secret places and used Lao Jin's power of backing the soil, coupled with his own methods, to skillfully arrange several restrictions.
Due to Lao Jin's demon talent, these restrictions are almost integrated with the Tushen Castle, so they are very hidden. Unless masters like Li Yile and Master Fuhu are willing to check, it will be difficult to find them.
After a round, the two of them placed a total of six restrictions.
These restrictions have no power, but when someone tries to break the barrier of Tushen Castle, these restrictions will make Liang Yan feel something.
"It's done."
Liang Yan used his spiritual consciousness to sense the restrictions he had arranged, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"I don't believe that no one is interested in this place during the twelve transformations... Then we can wait for the opportunity."
"Then what should we do now?" Lao Jin asked.
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "We can't enter Tianji Pavilion today. The three-day period has come, so we should go to Qingmu Cliff first to see if Lian Xin is there."
"That's all it can do." Lao Jin sighed.
Liang Yan did not speak any more, raised his hand to cast a spell, put Lao Jin into the Taixu Gourd, and turned into a puff of blue smoke, quietly leaving the Tushen Castle and rushing to the agreed place...
..
Wuzhuang Mountain at night is quiet and eerie.
About two hours later, Liang Yan arrived at the foot of Qingmu Cliff.
According to the agreement with Lian Xin, if they have not achieved their respective goals by tonight, they will meet at the foot of Qingmu Cliff before midnight.
Liang Yan rushed to the agreed place, but there was no one there.
"Lian Xin, has he already got what he wanted?"
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
To be honest, he didn't want the other party to achieve his goal so quickly. It wasn't that he was missing a helper, but that once the other party achieved his goal, he would most likely turn against him.
After all, the alliance between the two is limited to this special environment.
Apart from anything else, if Lian Xin gets what he wants, all he needs to do is leak Liang Yan's identity, which will seriously affect Liang Yan's actions...
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Forget it...it's useless to think too much. I'll just wait here until Zi Shi. If he still doesn't show up, then I'll take action myself."
Having made up his mind, Liang Yan sat cross-legged under a tree and waited quietly.
Time passed, the moon climbed up to the atrium, and it was soon approaching midnight.
Liang Yan opened his eyes from his trance and glanced around, but it was still empty.
"It seems he won't come."
With a slight sigh, Liang Yan stood up from the ground and prepared to go to Qingmu Cliff alone.
At this moment, a chuckle came from the shadow of the night:
"Junior brother, why are you sighing?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan suddenly turned around and saw a ball of golden light quietly emerging in the shade of a tree thirty feet away from him.
The golden light gradually condensed into a human form, with moon-white monk robes and a long body. It was his fellow disciple of the Angry Monk lineage, Lian Xin!
"You're so pretentious, I thought you weren't coming."
There was a sarcastic smile on Liang Yan's lips. Although he was calm on the surface, he was secretly wary in his heart.
"Lian Xin, his skills are becoming more and more profound...'There is no self, no Buddha, the body turns into dust'! He is so close, I haven't even reacted yet!"
"hehe."
Lian Xin smiled slightly and strode over.
"Junior Brother, why do you say this? You and I are from the same sect, and we should help each other. Even if I achieve my wish, Senior Brother, I will definitely come to help Junior Brother."
"Do you believe this?"
"Of course, Buddhists don't gossip," Lian Xin said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, I just want to ask you, have you finished the task of Tianxie Pavilion?"
"Do it, of course you have to do it!"
Lian Xin narrowed her eyes and looked up at the towering mountain peaks.
"The midnight hour has arrived. Canglong will leave for about half an hour. This half hour is our only chance. We must complete the mission and evacuate this place. Otherwise, Canglong will return and we will not be his opponent even if we join forces."
"Your information is quite good."
Liang Yan's expression was noncommittal, he glanced at Qingmu Cliff, and said indifferently: "Do you have any way to break the restrictions on Qingmu Cliff?"
After hearing this, Lian Xin smiled slightly and said: "Although Canglong Lao Dao's barrier is powerful, I have already made sufficient preparations before coming. Junior brother, I just need to keep an eye on it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a gold seal from his sleeve. There was a sculpture of a small snake above the gold seal, which looked lifelike.
"go!"
Lian Xin waved her sleeves and threw the golden seal into the air. With a flash of light, a small golden snake appeared in the air.
This little snake flicked its tail and swam back and forth in mid-air, as agile as a loach.
Lian Xin pointed her hand again, and the little snake immediately penetrated into the barrier of Qingmu Cliff. It was like a drop of water falling into the sea. There was only a ripple nearby, but there were no other ripples.
Liang Yan was curious and looked intently, only to see that a small crack appeared on the barrier of Qingmu Cliff at some point...
