After hearing what he said, everyone was filled with emotion and fell silent for a while.
After a while, the Venerable Great Suffering put his hands together, pronounced a Buddha's name, and said calmly: "The second round of assessment has been successfully completed, and you fellow Taoists can leave on your own. As for the third round of assessment, it will not be open to the public. Please wait for the results.
That’s it.”
The magic performance attracted many monks to come and watch. On the one hand, they wanted to see what exam questions Luo Tianshan would ask. On the other hand, they also wanted to see how capable this generation of geniuses were.
For most people, the trip is worthwhile.
Fanyinyi, Cang Yueming, Hua Caidi, Taiyue and other masters of the younger generation all achieved enlightenment through fighting on the battlefield. Everyone has experienced bloody storms, and not those children of aristocratic families who have high vision can compare with them.
of.
Many bystanders learned a lot from these people, which was a great harvest, and they all left with satisfaction.
Seeing everyone leaving, Liang Yan flashed and appeared in front of the Great Ku, Gui Wujiu and others.
"Fellow Taoists, please stay. Liang has something to discuss."
"oh?"
Gui Wujiu was a little surprised. He glanced at the other people and saw that they all had the same confused expressions as him. Apparently they had not said hello in advance.
However, Liang Yan's current cultivation level has become different from what it used to be, and no one dared to look down upon him. After pondering for a moment, Lord Great Ku took the initiative and said:
"Okay, then let's talk somewhere else?"
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded and asked Wu Xin to take Xiong Yue'er and the others back to their place of residence. He followed Lord Da Ku to put his blame at fault, and Gu Tian and others left Shenji Peak.
The Yashengs were galloping all the way, escaping at extremely fast speeds, and in a blink of an eye they arrived outside the cave of Lord Great Ku.
Two young monks were cleaning the mountain road. Seeing the Great Ku Master falling from mid-air, they hurriedly threw the broom aside, clasped their hands together and said, "See you, Uncle Master!"
"There's no need to clean here. You can go to the backyard and do your homework."
Venerable Da Ku waved his hand, and then led Liang Yan and others into the monastery.
Although everyone is a sub-sage, they are not particular about it. They just found a futon and sat down. Then they heard Venerable Great Ku say: "Fellow Daoist Liang, you can tell me now, why did you leave us here?"
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Do you still remember the letter I intercepted when I first came here?"
"certainly."
Venerable Da Ku nodded: "The magic machine performance is not a secret. Beiming must have got the news. In order to prevent us from electing the Buddha and destroying the blood evil formation, they will definitely do everything possible to hinder it."
"So, have you found any abnormalities during this period?" Liang Yan asked.
"There is nothing abnormal. However, according to the news from the detective, Beiming is already ready to take action. Many powerful monks are rushing towards Luotian Mountain. I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm."
"Where are Dan Yangsheng and Ling Xiao? Are there any traces of them?" Liang Yan asked the two people he was most afraid of.
"not yet."
Venerable Great Ku shook his head: "We have stepped up our patrols during this period. Whenever there is any sign of trouble, we will send Patriarch Huajie over to check. Even Gui Wu, two fellow Taoists from Gu Tian, have also gone out to inspect."
After Liang Yan heard this, he glanced at the other people and saw that Gu Tian was blameless. They all nodded slightly.
"Fellow Taoist Da Ku is right. Although Bei Ming is eyeing us, there is no sign of a large-scale attack yet. It seems that he is afraid of Luo Tianshan's mountain-protecting formation." Gui Wujiu said in a deep voice.
Even Gu Tian, who had always been taciturn, spoke at this time: "The 'Golden Photovoltaic Demonic Formation' is not in vain. As long as this formation is here, Dan Yangsheng will not dare to invade."
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded, "I absolutely believe in the power of Luo Tianshan's mountain-protecting formation. It is very difficult to attack from the outside, but what if Xiao Qiang is in trouble?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist Liang?" Venerable Great Ku asked, raising his eyebrows.
Liang Yan's face was calm and he said slowly: "As I said just now, if Xiao Qiang is in trouble, I'm afraid someone has sneaked into Luotian Mountain and is looking for an opportunity to destroy the magic performance."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Lord Da Ku shook his head: "We have a detection array in Luotian Mountain. Anyone who wants to go up the mountain must pass the strict inspection of the array. Their identities and origins are all pure and it is absolutely impossible to cheat!"
"Fellow Taoist Great Sufferer, you can't say this too fully."
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "I have fought against Bei Ming many times over the years, and I found that what they are best at is dismantling their opponents from within. Disguise and lurking are their strengths. Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about Tong Ni, who disguises himself as Si
One of the great demon generals is hiding inside Nanxuan, has anyone noticed?"
"this"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
As the master of the Xuanyin Pavilion, Tong Ni was an expert in disguise. It was indeed a shame that he had been hidden under everyone's noses for so long without being discovered.
Liang Yan added at this time: "As you have seen, my disciple Xiong Yue'er was born with a Buddhist seed, but something went wrong when she comprehended the last ball of Buddha's light. I'm afraid someone is doing something secretly and doesn't want her to pass the exam."
After hearing this, the Great Suffering Venerable smiled bitterly: "It seems that fellow Taoists still don't believe us. Your disciple can't say it all. Although the Buddha nature is natural, he also has a 'rejection of the Buddha'. This is destiny and cannot be forced."
Liang Yan waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention this matter for now, just talk about the inside of Luo Tianshan. Can you guarantee that not a single fish will slip through the net?"
This time, the Great Sufferer was silent for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and said slowly: "What Taoist Fellow Liang said is not unreasonable. The matter is of great importance, and we all need to be cautious. As for how to prevent it, does Fellow Taoist have any advice?"
Liang Yan pondered: "The Divine Machine Act has been carried out so far, and the three best candidates have been selected, and the 'Buddha Tower' will be opened in the next round. If I were a Beiming spy, I would definitely choose this time.
I suggest that from now on, we carefully investigate every monk on Luotian Mountain, and no detail can be overlooked."
After hearing this, the other people looked at each other and frowned slightly.
"Fellow Taoist, are you going to conduct a large-scale investigation in Luotian Mountain?"
"There are millions of monks on this mountain now, from all over the world. This move by fellow Taoist monks will probably make everyone unhappy."
"So what if it's unpleasant?"
Liang Yan raised his brows and said calmly: "The Buddha is about to be born, and success or failure depends on this! In order to destroy the Blood Evil Formation, even if we bear a little infamy, it is not enough!"
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent.
After a while, I suddenly heard a call from the Buddha:
"Amitabha!"
Venerable Da Ku put his hands together and said slowly: "I deeply agree with what Fellow Taoist Liang just said. Since you don't want to offend anyone, then let me, Luo Tianshan, be the evil person and carefully investigate the entire situation before tomorrow's time."
Luo Tianshan, don’t miss any corner!”
"Fellow Taoist understands the righteousness deeply!"
Liang Yan smiled, paused, and asked, "But I don't know who you plan to send to carry out this mission?"
"Junior Brother Fuhu, what do you think?"
"Very good!"
Liang Yan nodded and said: "In addition, count me in. Liang and fellow Taoist Fuhu will perform this task together.
"Amitabha, this is the best, but it will cause trouble to fellow Taoist Liang."
"It should be." Liang Yan smiled and nodded.
Venerable Fuhu was his former comrade-in-arms, and he was absolutely trustworthy. With his personal supervision, he would not be afraid of a traitor hiding in the mountains.
"Let's start with the three shortlisted people. They are the most important." Liang Yan added.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, there is a 'Jade Buddha Mirror' outside the pagoda, which can distinguish the true from the false. The three people must pass under the Jade Buddha Mirror before entering the pagoda. If someone is disguised, there will be absolutely no escape!"
"That's good." Liang Yan nodded slightly.
"In this case, the poor monk will now send an order to Junior Brother Fuhu, asking him to assist you in searching the entire Luotian Mountain to ensure that the divine machine performance can proceed smoothly."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Everyone reached an agreement that Liang Yan would be responsible for searching Luo Tianshan and that no one was to blame. Although Gu Tian and others did not come forward, they would actively cooperate and let the monks he brought accept Liang Yan's investigation.
Not long after, Liang Yan left the cave of Lord Da Ku, turned into a ray of light, and flew towards Fuhu Pavilion in Luotian Mountain.
Venerable Fuhu is the law enforcement elder of Luotian Mountain and sits in Fuhu Pavilion. If any disciple violates the rules of the sect, it will be decided by Fuhu Pavilion.
Sensing a familiar aura coming from far and near from the horizon, Venerable Fuhu raised his brows and put down the file in his hand.
The next moment, he flashed, left the attic, and appeared in mid-air.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, why do you have time to visit this old friend of mine today?" Venerable Fuhu chuckled.
Liang Yan pressed Dun Guang, walked up to him, grabbed Fu Hu's arm, and said with a smile: "Forget chatting, there is an important matter that needs to be done by you and me. Quickly gather people and come with me."
"whats the matter?"
Venerable Fuhu was slightly surprised, and just as he was about to ask carefully, he saw a young novice monk flying from a distance, holding a purple gold alms bowl in his hand, and presented it respectfully.
"This is a message from the acting head. Please ask Uncle Fuhu to read it."
"Purple Gold Immortal Bowl?"
The doubt in Venerable Fuhu's eyes became even stronger. He reached out to take the alms bowl, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and quickly read the information left by Venerable Great Ku in the alms bowl.
“So that’s how it is”
Venerable Fuhu nodded thoughtfully and asked through a message: "Fellow Daoist Liang, do you suspect someone has infiltrated into Luotian Mountain?"
"It's not certain yet, but we have to be careful. Have you forgotten our experience in the Black Mountain Region?" Liang Yan said in a deep voice.
"Yeah, that makes sense!"
Venerable Fuhu looked stern, thought for a moment, and said, "Fellow Daoist Liang, please wait here for a moment. I will gather people now to prepare to search the entire Luotian Mountain."
"We don't need too many people, so as not to alert others. We only need a dozen or so elite disciples to investigate secretly with us."
"good."
Venerable Fuhu nodded, and cast a spell in his hand. Hearing the bell ringing three times in Fuhu Pavilion, sixteen rays of escaping light came from all directions and soon arrived outside the attic.
"See Uncle Master!"
Sixteen elite disciples, each with a level of cultivation in the Tongxuan realm, were standing at the entrance of Fuhu Pavilion.
"No need to be polite. I have received instructions from my senior brother to assist fellow Taoist Liang in searching the entire Luotian Mountain. You just need to obey the order."
"yes!"
Sixteen people responded simultaneously.
The cultivation of these monks is not low, and their bodies are strong and their auras are connected. They have obviously practiced the combined attack formation, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
Venerable Fuhu held up the alms bowl in his hand again and said with a smile: "This is the Purple Gold Immortal Bowl, the secret treasure of our sect, which can see through the enemy's disguise. Senior brother uses it to convey messages, just to help us."
"Very good, you are more familiar with Luo Tianshan than me. It's up to you to decide where to start."
Venerable Fuhu thought for a while and said: "Luotian Mountain has a total of 5,162 peaks, of which 857 are used to entertain foreign monks. We can start from the 'Donglai Peak'.
From east to west, investigate all the way."
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded and said, "Without further delay, let's set off now!"
"Walk!"
Venerable Fuhu cast a spell, lifted everyone up with golden auspicious clouds, and flew eastward.
Sunrise and sunset, drums at dusk and bells in the morning, the day passes in the blink of an eye.
Luotian Mountain is still peaceful, with grass growing and orioles flying, and all things growing. It is incompatible with the bloody environment outside. It is a rare pure land.
Nothing seems to have changed, but what is going on secretly is probably only known to a very small number of people.
Soon, night falls and the moon rises over the atrium.
At the foot of Futu Peak, three young monks came.
These three people are Cang Yueming, Fanyin Yi and Shen Qiuyue who passed the second round of assessment.
"Brother Fan, are you okay?" Cang Yueming said with a smile.
"Haha, yesterday's battle was not very pleasant. How about we wait until the magic machine performance is over and we have another battle?" Fan Yinyi's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Why so?"
Cang Yueming chuckled softly and said: "If Buddha is one of you and me, then use all your strength to purify the blood evil formation until death. If you and I are not the same, then join forces to kill the enemy and see who can kill more." Isn’t it enough to have more?”
After hearing this, Shen Qiuyue, who was next to her, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Does this need to be said? Qiuyue just got through by chance. She is here just to be a foil. The Buddha will definitely be born between the two of you."
Fanyin Yi immediately said: "Miss Shen is too modest. You have the 'Holy Body of the Divine Moon' and are extremely talented. Your future is limitless! Once you break through the realm of transformation, your strength will probably be even higher than that of Fan."
Shen Qiuyue sighed: "It's easy for me to say it, young master, but how can it be so easy to break through the bottleneck of Tongxuan Peak? How many geniuses are stuck at this step, just because they can't pass their first difficulty, and eventually die. I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Fanyinyi's expression moved slightly and he murmured: "Girl"
Before he could say the next words, he heard a Buddha chant ringing behind him:
"Amitabha!"
Everyone's hearts were moved, and they turned to look at the same time. They saw an old monk wearing a cassock, with his hands clasped together, and his aura as deep as the sea. He was the Lesser Sage of Luotian Mountain, the Venerable Great Sufferer!
