Chapter 1787 Entering the Mortal World (Additional update! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!)
At present, the discussion in Lingxu Palace has been decided, and everyone disperses.
When Liang Yan left the palace gate, two female disciples came to pick him up and took him to a quiet place, where there were mountains and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, and cloisters and pavilions hidden in the forest. It looked elegant and quiet.
"Palace Master Liang, please rest here for a few days. Tomorrow, I will be honored as an elder and burn incense and bathe for three days. My uncle will make his own arrangements." The two female disciples bowed to him, then said goodbye and left.
Liang Yan watched the two people leave and went into the forest alone. He saw a pavilion with red and green willows lying across the stream.
The water flows through the rocks and the wooden strips of the attic, making different crisp sounds. When combined together, they naturally form a piece of music, showing a fresh and natural meaning.
"Is this the sound of nature?"
Liang Yan secretly sighed in his heart and sighed that it was great to practice Taoism.
He started from the mortal world, and although his journey was difficult, he enjoyed a long life. The world is full of strange things and illusions. A mortal's life span is only a few decades, and he cannot even get out of the cocoon. How can he see this world?
"I was confused back then and had no true meaning. Fortunately, my master showed me in, but I don't know where his old man is now?"
Thinking of the Angry Monk, I couldn't help but feel sad again. After all, my current cultivation level is still not enough to influence the saint's affairs. I don't know what happened in the years since the Angry Monk disappeared.
"I hope Master will be fine. When I return to Wushuang City, I will mobilize manpower to continue the investigation."
Liang Yan thought to himself, put this thought aside for the time being, and walked into the attic.
This place was quiet, surrounded by faint fragrance, elegant and refined, and no one came to disturb it. Liang Yan was very satisfied, so he found a futon in the attic and sat down.
After this battle, a lot was gained, and the biggest trophy was the "Yin Yang Blood Transformation Talisman". This talisman is indeed mysterious, which shows how impressive the owner of the Blood Transformation Island is.
In addition to this talisman, there are also storage rings belonging to Qin Bailie, Old Immortal Dead Wood, Old Ancestor Bai Mao, and the Second Judge of Yin and Yang. There are rich resources in them, including countless magic weapons and elixirs. However, these are not available for the time being, so we can only start first.
Put it aside.
Liang Yan checked it carefully and took out a dark seal from the storage ring. There were three pull tabs on the seal, which looked very strange.
"I don't know the origin of this magic weapon."
Liang Yan carefully played with it for a moment, but found nothing special. In other words, this magic weapon had no power at all when used alone!
"Does it only work when controlling the Soul Slaughter King?" Liang Yan thought of the battle just now, the scene where the Yin and Yang judges worked together to summon the Soul Slayer King, and it seemed that a strange stone door had been opened first.
He linked the two things together and secretly wondered if this seal was only useful for the ghost behind the door?
This is an explanation, but unfortunately there is no way to prove it, so I can only keep it in mind for the time being and wait for further research.
Liang Yan inspected the trophies one by one, sorted them into categories, and put them all into his storage ring. Then he sat cross-legged in the attic and meditated, concentrating.
Time flew by and it was early morning the next day.
The disciples of Yuzhu Mountain came to greet him and took him to the top of the mountain. A group of elites had already gathered here. There were more than 2,000 disciples from up and down Yuzhu Mountain, regardless of their level of cultivation, all gathered at the top of the mountain at this moment.
The elder's conferment ceremony was held outside Lingxu Palace.
There are all kinds of auspicious clouds on the White Jade Square. The ten elders have each led more than two hundred disciples, divided into ten square formations. They look solemn and are waiting quietly.
Liang Yan stood in the center of the White Jade Square, with an offering table in front of him, and three incense candles burning slowly on the offering table.
The green smoke floated up and merged into one in mid-air, forming a cloud. A graceful figure was vaguely visible in the cloud, which seemed to be a woman.
Baili Xuanyin stood behind Liang Yan and said loudly: "Liang Yan, in the clouds and mist is the afterimage of my ancestor of Yuzhu Mountain. You can salute him. After saluting, there are the honorary elders of my Yuzhu Mountain and the others."
Ten elders enjoy equal treatment."
Liang Yan nodded, took the incense candle from Baili Xuanyin's hand, bowed respectfully to the afterimage in the mist, and then inserted the incense candle into the furnace.
In mid-air, the smoke condensed but never dispersed, finally surrounding Liang Yan in a circle.
Liang Yan did not avoid it, he only felt a fragrant wind entering his body, his whole body suddenly felt light and comfortable, and even his soul was faintly strengthened.
"Thank you, senior Buhui!" Liang Yan saluted again.
Seeing this, Baili Xuanyin nodded slightly, and then said with a solemn expression: "Liang Yan, from now on you are the honorary elder of my Yuzhu Mountain, and you must not do anything that harms the interests of Yuzhu Mountain. However, you are not me either.
Disciples in the sect do not have to abide by the sect rules of Yuzhu Mountain, as long as they promise not to be enemies of Yuzhu Mountain."
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, if I understand the sage's secret knowledge here, I will have a cause and effect with Yuzhu Mountain. Not only will I not be an enemy of Yuzhu Mountain, but I will also be there for me when Yuzhu Mountain is in trouble."
I will try my best to help as much as I can.”
"good!"
Baili Xuanyin also smiled and said: "Palace Master Liang is such a hero, he will definitely not break his promise. With your words, I can rest assured."
After saying that, he paused and then continued: "Now you are considered a member of my Yuzhu Mountain. Letting you enter the Phantom Sea of Music does not violate the rule of 'teaching within but not to outsiders'. However, I have something to say first. This
There are eighteen laws in 'Heaven and Earth Xuanyin', and how much you can comprehend depends on your qualifications. Those with poor qualifications may not be able to understand even all of them. If Palace Master Liang returns without success, I cannot blame him."
"Of course!"
Liang Yan smiled and said: "If I don't have enough understanding and qualifications, it means I don't have this opportunity and blessing. How can I dare to anger Yuzhu Mountain?"
"That's good." Baili Xuanyin nodded and said: "To be honest, the 'Phantom Sound Qinhai' is very special. Every time it is opened, it consumes nearly a quarter of the resources of our Yuzhu Mountain, and it can only
It will last for three days, so fellow Taoists, please be fully prepared. After burning incense and bathing, you can enter the 'Phantom Sound Sea'."
"Is there such a huge consumption?"
Liang Yan was also shocked after hearing this. You must know that Yuzhu Mountain is one of the seven mountains and twelve cities, and its resources are so abundant, but opening a secret realm requires a quarter of it. Isn't he a gold-swallowing beast?
"Fellow Daoist Liang doesn't know something," Baili Xuanyin said secretly: "In the Phantom Sea of Sound, one year is equivalent to one day outside. This is the great magical power of the 'Buhui' Patriarch, and it must be maintained with huge spiritual energy resources.
"
"So that's it." Liang Yan suddenly realized, and thought to himself: "No wonder, I said that Nan Youyue understood the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth' within a few days. It turns out that this phantom sound Qinhai has such a mystery and a sect's heritage.
, it’s really profound!”
He understood what Baili Xuanyin meant. This was a reminder to himself that opportunities do not come easily, so it is best to make adequate preparations in advance, otherwise the effort will be in vain.
"Thanks for the advice, fellow Taoist. However, the world is in chaos now. Liang has to rush back to Wushuang City and has no time to prepare. It is better to open the secret realm as soon as possible." Liang Yan said with a serious face.
After hearing this, Baili Xuanyin sighed and said: "In that case, please ask Palace Master Liang to burn incense and bathe for three days. After three days, open the 'Phantom Sound Qin Sea'!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Baili."
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed.
Liang Yan also returned to the attic in the forest. After three days of meditation, burning incense and bathing, he adjusted his state of mind to the best.
But in the past three days, in Yuzhu Mountain, next to a hot spring full of spiritual energy, a beautiful woman in white sat.
There was a piece of mottled bluestone in front of her. There were two teacups and a pot of spiritual tea on the stone, as if she was waiting for someone.
After a while, a ray of light traveled from far to near and landed near the hot spring. It revealed a human appearance, but it was Nan Youyue, one of the ten elders of Yuzhu Mountain.
This girl has a beautiful face and a pure heart. She is unique even in Yuzhu Mountain where there are so many beauties. Unfortunately, her face is now a little haggard and her eyes are not as clear as before.
"sit down."
The beautiful woman in white pointed her hand, and the teapot flew up, making a cup of spiritual tea for both of them at the same time.
Nan Youyue sat down as she was told, but she didn't make a sound and remained silent.
"Idiot!"
The beautiful woman in white sighed. She knew her apprentice's temperament well. She was usually dignified and elegant, and never made mistakes. But now her black hair was a little messy. She obviously hadn't taken care of it, and her mood was no longer the same as before.
"After all, it's just wishful thinking, the falling flowers are meaningless, and the flowing water is ruthless, so why should you be persistent?" Baili Xuanyin sighed.
"I don't know if this disciple is just possessed by a demon and can't help but think about him." Nan Youyue lowered her head and said softly.
After hearing this, Baili Xuanyin felt distressed, with a loving expression on her face, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to tidy up her beloved disciple's hair.
"You child, you look calm on the outside, but your inner emotions are like a sea of waves. I'm afraid this is the reason why the 'Dang Mo Xian Qin' chose you as its leader."
Having said this, he sighed again and said: "This Palace Master Liang already has a Taoist companion, and I don't think this person is like a person who is always around, and he will not be swayed by others. If you still can't let him go, then
Like a moth rushing to a flame, you will only suffer yourself in the end."
"Disciple understands."
Nan Youyue's voice was soft, but there was a hint of unspeakable bitterness.
When Baili Xuanyin saw this, he felt even more distressed. He also thought that all his magic power had been wasted, and he didn't know when he would be able to practice it again. Now, even his apprentice was wronged and he had no choice but to do anything. He felt really depressed.
"Obsession in the world is like a sea, and we can't get ashore. So what if we achieve enlightenment and become a saint? Everything can't go as planned! Maybe only by becoming a being like the 'Dao of Heaven' can we have a free day, but if we really reach that state,
Will it still be a 'human'?"
Baili Xuanyin sighed in his heart, looking into the distance, one master and one disciple, but he was crazy.
After a long time, I suddenly heard Nan Youyue whisper: "Master, I have made up my mind. From now on I will never go down the mountain again. I will always be with you, with green lanterns and bamboos."
Baili Xuanyin came back to his senses, glanced at Nan Youyue, and secretly thought something was wrong.
This idiot looks weak on the outside, but is actually stubborn on the inside. Once he decides on something, even ten cows can't get him back.
"You are trying to isolate yourself from Yuzhu Mountain. How can I, the master, let you be trapped by love? You have to make some arrangements."
Baili Xuanyin's expression did not change, but she was thinking secretly in her heart: "As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie it, so why not let her go and let her go to the world for a while, it is exactly 'from the world of mortals, to the world of mortals!'
"
Thinking of this, Baili Xuanyin already had a plan in mind, and immediately said with a smile: "Let's not mention these things for now, Palace Master Liang has a great favor to me in Yuzhu Mountain. He wants to understand the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth', and I also hope that he can succeed. But
I think he is a swordsman. Although his skills are superb, he knows very little about the way of music. This time he enters the 'Phantom Sound Sea', I am afraid that it will be difficult to understand the mystery of Xuanyin, and in the end he will only end up in vain."
After hearing these words, Nan Youyue's eyes gradually changed, and she frowned and said: "What the master said is absolutely true. After all, he is not a member of my sect. No matter how high his understanding is, he will not be able to understand the changes in Xuanyin. So what?
Is good?"
As he talked about it later, he was obviously a little anxious, and the word "worry" was written on his face.
Baili Xuanyin had already been prepared, and now he smiled and said: "So, after thinking about it for a long time, I think I should send someone to help him."
"Help him?" Nan Youyue didn't react for a moment.
"Of course, I would send someone who has already comprehended the mysterious sounds of heaven and earth to enter the 'Phantom Sound Sea' with him, and help him comprehend the Eighteen Rhymes as much as possible."
Hearing this, Nan Youyue reacted even though she was slow.
"Master, you. Do you want me to accompany him to enlightenment?"
"That's right. He is my benefactor in Yuzhu Mountain after all. Can you bear to watch him fetch water in a bamboo basket but in vain?" Baili Xuanyin said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Disciple, disciple"
Nan Youyue was speechless and felt confused and numb.
She knew that Liang Yan had a Taoist partner, and she had planned to give up on this relationship, but now the master asked her to help this person. You must know that "Phantom Sound Qinhai" is a closed secret realm. If no one opens it from the outside, no one can
They were not allowed to come out. This man and woman were alone in the same room.
Thinking of this, Nan Youyue's face turned red.
It's inappropriate to agree, and I can't bear to say no. I'm really confused and don't know how to answer.
Baili Xuanyin smiled again and said: "Why are you so coy? Looking at the entire Yuzhu Mountain now, apart from Senior Sister Feng, you are the only one who has understood the 'Heaven and Earth Xuanyin', so this task must be done by you. If you have the heart to see him die without success,
If you return, then I have nothing to say."
Hearing the words "return without success", Nanyou Yuexiang trembled slightly, bit her lip, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, disciple agrees! Just... just help him one last time."
"now it's right."
Baili Xuanyin smiled slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Yue'er, it's useless for you to avoid some things blindly. Only by facing them proactively and facing your own heart can you go through them. If you have no troubles in your heart, even if the two of you
When we are in the same room together, there is a clear breeze and a bright moon; if you already have waves in your heart, then go away from the mortal world and you will know yourself in the future."
These words were very meaningful, but unfortunately Nan Youyue was uneasy at the moment, so she listened in a daze and did not understand the true meaning, so she just nodded numbly.
Baili Xuanyin sighed in his heart and thought to himself: "After all, I am still in love and my mind is lost. It will take some time before I can see my true self."
Thinking of this, he didn't say much, waved his hand and said: "I'm tired of being a teacher, you can go down first."
"yes"
Nan Youyue stood up and saluted, then turned into a ray of light and left Baili Xuanyin's cave.
