Liang Yan was not surprised when he saw this woman. Although he set off at the same time as Shenyue Sect, he took a detour to Longhu Pass in order to collect Luoshui. This trip wasted a lot of time, so everyone in Shenyue Sect He arrived at Luotian Mountain one step ahead of himself.
He had already met Shen Qiuyue during the first round of assessment of Shenji Acting.
I vaguely remember that this woman chose to meditate in front of the fourth-floor stone tablet at Pagoda Peak, and finally obtained five groups of Buddha's light, barely squeezing into the top thirty.
Because they had known each other before, Liang Yan's eyes stayed on Shen Qiuyue for a moment.
Ji Lai, who was beside him, immediately caught this detail and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Liang has a good taste. He immediately fell in love with the beauty who ranks second on the stunning list!"
"What stunning list?" Liang Yan asked subconsciously.
"Hey, it wasn't arranged secretly by some perverts from Nanxuan."
Ji Lai said with a smile: "With so many people gathering on Luotian Mountain, it is inevitable that they will be bored. Someone with good intentions will compile some kind of stunning list. I have to say that these people have really good vision. The fairies they selected are all... A masterpiece!"
"I think you enjoy it too, right?" Liang Yan said with a half-smile.
"Hey, my fair lady, what a gentleman!" Ji Laihun didn't care, and continued: "Most of these fairies are proficient in music. In their free time, they come to Guihuaping to play the piano and play music. Therefore, they also attracted many monks to come and watch. Look there, aren't Fan Yin Yi, Ye Xuan and Tai Yue of the 'Nan Xuan Qi Ying' all there?"
After Liang Yan heard this, he looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough he saw "Fist Master" Fan Yin Yi, "Kong Kong Er" Ye Xuan and "Houtu Shenjun" Tai Yue.
The three of them were sitting under an osmanthus tree, drinking by themselves. Although they looked calm and calm, their eyes drifted to Shen Qiuyue in the distance from time to time, especially Fanyin Yi, with no trace of admiration in their eyes. cover up.
"It seems that Shen Qiuyue is very popular here." Liang Yan smiled slightly.
"What, you know her?" Ji Lai was a little surprised.
"We met once, but we are not familiar with each other."
"Tsk tsk!"
Ji Lai showed an exaggerated expression and joked: "I didn't expect you to actually know the fairy who ranks second on the list of stunning beauties. I thought you were really not good at beauty before, but I thought you were a dull slut!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled and did not explain.
"You said she is ranked second, but who is ranked first?"
"First? No need to ask, of course it's Nan Youyue in Yuzhu Mountain!"
"Nan Youyue?"
Liang Yan was a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "Is she here too?"
"No!"
Ji Lai showed regret: "The monks from Yuzhu Mountain did not come to Luotian Mountain, but Nan Youyue's reputation is well known to everyone. Even if she doesn't come, the first place belongs to her."
At this point, he shook his head and recited a poem: "There is a saying: The two moons are competing for beauty, and their beauty is unparalleled. If a beauty comes back, I will not become an immortal in this life!"
"What nonsense poetry." Liang Yan scolded with a smile.
"Hey, don't worry about whether it makes sense or not. Anyway, this is what most people think. If you can get the favor of Nan Youyue or Shen Qiuyue, who are the top two on the beauty list, you don't need to be an immortal."
While talking about the plan, he pointed to a few people in the distance: "Look, aren't those people fascinated? Even the 'Nanxuan Qiying' is no exception. It can be seen from this that heroes are sad about beauty. ah!"
As he was talking, the sound of a piano song gradually stopped, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.
Everyone was immersed in the music just now and had a lot of aftertaste.
Just listen to a deep voice saying slowly: "The wonderful rhythm is heart-wrenching, like a dream and a poem with thousands of rhymes, the light dance is soaring and the emotions can't be restrained, the lingering sound is intoxicating and fleeting."
The person speaking was none other than "Boxing Sect" Fanyin Yi.
He was sitting on a branch, with his long hair disheveled and his clothes flowing in the wind, looking quite chic.
Shen Qiuyue smiled softly and said, "Thank you Mr. Fan for the compliment."
"Why is it a compliment?" Fanyinyi said with a smile: "Miss Shen's piano playing is at its peak. If she can listen to you a piece of fairy music, she can forget even the painful past."
"Just forget it. The past has passed. Why should you persist, sir?"
"That's good." Fanyinyi nodded, thoughtfully.
At this moment, a young woman behind Shen Qiuyue suddenly said: "Sister Shen, it's almost time, we should go back."
This woman is a monk of the "Feixia Sect". She likes music and is especially good at Hujia. The song just now was composed by her and Shen Qiuyue.
After Shen Qiuyue heard this, before she could speak, Fanyin Yi said first, "The moonlight is thick tonight, why don't you play a song again, girl?"
"Yes, we have been waiting for this day for a long time. It's still early. Miss Qiuyue, let's play another song." Ye Xuan also said.
Seeing everyone inviting them, Shen Qiuyue smiled, her eyes moved, and after a moment she actually looked in the direction of Liang Yan.
"Senior Liang, you've been here for so long, why don't you come over and sit down?"
As soon as he said this, everyone nearby looked at him.
"Huh?"
Ji Lai was a little surprised and turned to look at Liang Yan beside him, only to see that his face was calm.
"What a coincidence. Liang was so excited that he came here by chance, but he didn't expect Miss Shen to be here too." Liang Yan laughed.
Shen Qiuyue pursed her lips and smiled, her eyebrows curved like a pool of spring water.
"It seems that Qiuyue and senior have some fate. These days, I have inquired a lot about senior's deeds. I heard that senior once enlightened at the Qinhai in Yuzhu Mountain. He must be proficient in music. Can I give you the honor of playing a song with Qiuyue?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had different expressions. Some were surprised, some were jealous, and the eyes they looked at Liang Yan changed.
"Thank you very much, Miss Shen, for your kind words, but Liang is not interested enough, so let's just skip the ensemble." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Senior is still as cold and arrogant as ever."
Shen Qiuyue didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Since the seniors are not willing to play together, then let the little girl perform a ugly song for the seniors to appreciate."
After saying that, he pressed his hands on the strings, adjusted his mood, and started playing again.
The first sound of the piano is like pearls falling on a jade plate. The crisp notes are like crystal water droplets, jumping in the night sky, then flowing, turning into a long breeze, blowing through the quiet sweet-scented osmanthus forest.
Everyone closed their eyes unconsciously and faintly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus in the music.
That wonderful melody is like a woman who has gone through many vicissitudes but is determined, using notes to tell the joys and sorrows of the world; it is also like a nimble dancer dancing on the strings, making everyone intoxicated. Falling into it unconsciously, unwilling to wake up for a long time
A continuous song, gradually rising from dullness to climax, and then from climax back to dullness, finally ending in the night and turning into the fragrance of flowers in the forest.
Even masters like Fanyin Yi, Ye Xuan, and Tai Yue couldn't help but be fascinated. Looking at the woman in silver under the moonlight, they just felt as beautiful as a fairy.
"What do you think, senior?"
Shen Qiuyue's eyes were filled with excitement, she bit her red lips lightly, and looked at Liang Yan with anticipation and a hint of shyness.
"good."
Liang Yan nodded: "The way of piano music is nothing more than this."
"Senior, what you mean is" Shen Qiuyue said thoughtfully.
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "The sound of the piano stops at the 'instrument', not the sound of heaven and earth."
After saying that, he raised his right hand and waved it slowly.
A soft breeze appeared in the forest, blowing slowly around everyone, and even the moonlight reflected on the ground was blown, causing ripples like water waves.
Wonderful, extremely wonderful feeling!
Although no music was played, everyone present heard the beautiful melody. It was a sound coming from the heart. It seemed to be as big as the sea of clouds and river waves between heaven and earth, and as small as the new buds in the woods. ear.
One hundred notes and one hundred rhythms constitute a harmonious and perfect movement, encompassing heaven and earth and swallowing thousands of miles.
Everyone who had just been immersed in Shen Qiuyue's piano music was stunned at this moment, as if they had entered a new world. The gloom accumulated in their hearts over the years was swept away, and a heroic feeling emerged out of thin air!
"Absolutely awesome!"
Taiyue shouted loudly, stood up suddenly, and roared loudly.
His roar penetrated the cracked gold and stone, and also brought the people around him back to reality, and they gradually woke up.
I saw a leaf falling leisurely in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest, landing where Liang Yan was just now, but there was no trace of him.
"Huh? Where is Brother Liang?"
Even though I was the closest, I didn't notice anyone around me leaving without saying goodbye. I didn't realize it until now.
Shen Qiuyue stared blankly at the direction in which Liang Yan disappeared, her red lips parted slightly, and murmured: "Xiaoyin is clever, Dayin Xisheng is indeed the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth', it's amazing!"
But Liang Yan returned to his Zen room and sat cross-legged on the futon.
What happened tonight was just a romantic incident and was quickly forgotten by him.
His mood gradually calmed down, and then he took out a slender jade bottle from the storage ring and held it in mid-air.
The journey from Longhu Pass to Luotian Mountain was not short, and it took a full two months.
Along the way, Liang Yan was doing two things: while escaping, he was also studying the "Shui Yuan Zhen Jing".
Lu Long is a strong man who can overcome calamities and overcome eight difficulties. Although his overall strength is not as good as Liang Yan's, his self-created water-based exercises are very exquisite. There are many places in them that even Liang Yan cannot achieve in a short period of time.
comprehend.
Fortunately, Liang Yan does not need to practice this technique completely. He only needs to learn from the secret technique of water movement and use it to refine the Luo Shui in the Luo Shen bottle.
After two months of research, Liang Yan finally summed up a method. Starting tonight, he will continue to refine Luoshui.
Looking at the Luo Shen bottle floating in mid-air, Liang Yan shut away his distracting thoughts and continued to cast various spells with his hands. He saw streaks of rays of light rising into the sky, and finally they all disappeared into the vial.
The Luo Shen bottle spun quickly, with streaks of green clouds flowing erratically, and the sound of rushing water could be faintly heard, as if one were in the sea, surrounded by huge waves.
"With so much Luoshui, if I refine all of it, it will be a big killer! By then, in addition to the Tianji Pearl, I will have another way to protect myself."
In troubled times, even though Liang Yan is already very powerful, no one would object to having more cards. Every additional method means one more chance of survival in this battle between the North and the South.
Moreover, compared to the Tianji Pearl, the Luo Shen Bottle is not so taboo and can be used in front of everyone if there is danger.
Of course, if a gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, the best way to save his life is to stay away from disasters.
Liang Yan was in a calm state of mind, focused all his attention on the Luoshen bottle in front of him, and began to refine Luoshui according to the method recorded in the "Shuiyuan Zhenjing".
It was dawn after this sitting, and it was not until noon the next day that footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard, but it was Cang Yueming who came as promised.
Liang Yan woke up from trance, raised his hand to cast a spell, put the Luo Shen bottle in his sleeve, and then pushed the door open and walked out.
"Greetings, teacher!" Cang Yueming said respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "So many people took part in the assessment, but I didn't expect that they were all rejected. You are my only hope now, so don't embarrass me."
After hearing this, Cang Yueming solemnly said: "Master, don't worry, I will do my best and I will never lose your reputation!"
"haha okay."
Liang Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Today I will teach you some magical powers, namely the 'Flicking Finger Sword', 'Invisible Seal' and 'Sword Qi Leaving Shape'. In the next three days, you will practice in the courtyard. If
If you don’t understand something, you can ask me at any time.”
"yes."
Cang Yueming responded with excitement in her eyes.
Next, Liang Yan explained the essence of these three sword skills in detail and demonstrated them to him in person. The latter observed carefully and gradually understood.
"Come and try." Liang Yan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
"Yes, Master."
Cang Yueming's face was serious, and she pinched the sword in her hand. She saw two invisible sword energy looming, forming a "ten" shape, passing through the courtyard and smashing a mountain wall in the distance.
"no."
Liang Yan shook his head: "Your 'Invisible Seal' can't even hide the spiritual consciousness of the Golden Core monks, let alone deal with those ancestors of transformation. But you finally have a direction, and then you keep training until
Until you can master these magical powers."
"I will obey the teacher's orders!" Cang Yueming said respectfully.
Liang Yan pondered for a moment, then flicked his finger and shot a sword energy in mid-air.
"Cultivation of magical powers cannot be done on paper. You need to practice with others. Leave a sword energy for the teacher in the courtyard as your opponent. I hope you will practice well."
After saying that, he turned back to the Zen room, closed the door, and continued to refine Luoshui.
In the next three days, Liang Yan stayed with Cang Yueming. One of them was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and the other was refining Luo Shui in the room.
Whenever something went wrong in Cang Yueming's practice, Liang Yan would promptly give advice in the room and correct his mistakes.
Cang Yueming is naturally gifted and has a very high understanding. Although the three magical moves are mysterious, he can still figure them out. Plus, with Liang Yan's guidance, he actually mastered these three magical moves in a few days.
, it moves like an arm directing it, without any feeling of sluggishness.
"very good."
Liang Yan showed a look of satisfaction in the room, but then reminded: "These three magical moves are only used to win by surprise, and are not your main means to defeat the enemy. If you want to win this round of assessment, your biggest reliance is on your own years."
The practice of swordsmanship."
"Disciple understands." Cang Yueming withdrew her magical power and answered outside the door.
"It's getting late. Today is the second round of assessment at noon. Let's set off."
Liang Yan said, walked out of the house, swept up Cang Yueming with a beam of escape light, and flew towards the direction of Shenji Peak.
