Seeing that this "Murong Wenqin" whom he had never met before actually called out his name, Liang Yan didn't have much surprise on his face. Instead, he said with a half-smile expression:
"I didn't expect that we would see each other again so soon after we said goodbye to Simingshan Palace that day, Brother Ji!"
"Murong Wenqin" was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and said: "I can't hide anything from you!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face. He saw his face twisting and changing, and finally transformed into the appearance of a scholar with fine features. It was evident that he was the one who had made an agreement to join forces with him in the Siming Mountain Palace!
"Haha, I didn't expect that Brother Ji is not only proficient in arithmetic, but also good at the art of disguise. If Liang hadn't been good at six senses and memorized all the sounds he heard in his mind, I might not have been able to see through Brother Ji's disguise!"
Yanhehe laughed.
Ji smiled for a while, followed Liang Yan and sat down at the table, and said: "Brother Liang, thank you very much. Ji's heresy is all passed down from his master. It's okay to deceive the monks in the foundation period, but if you meet Ju Yuan
That won’t work if you’re a senior in the realm! Speaking of Brother Liang, Ji was surprised. It’s been so long since we last met, and Brother Liang has already formed a Taoist foundation. Now I’m going to call you Senior!”
"It's just a coincidence." Liang Yan waved his hand and said, "We got to know each other first. Brother Ji, it's better to treat him as a peer, otherwise I'm really not used to it."
After hearing this, Ji Lai laughed and said, "I knew you kid would say that! By the way, aren't you in the State of Zhao? How could you come to the State of Wu and get into this tomb of the dead?"
Liang Yan sighed lightly and said, "It's a long story, so let's talk about you first. Why did you pretend to be this 'Murong Wenqin'?"
"hey-hey!"
A mysterious look appeared on Ji Lai's face, then he shook the folding fan in his hand and sang: "I am a happy fairy, but I fell into the world as a beauty. I will never wake up from this dream, but I only hope that my beloved is here!"
"For Murong Xuewei?" Liang Yan frowned.
"Exactly! Hahaha, the one who knows me is Brother Liang!"
As Ji Lai burst into laughter, the door of the stone chamber suddenly opened slowly, and the young guard who was standing outside before walked in. Then he touched his face with one hand and transformed into a young woman.
"Murong Xuewei!" Liang Yan's pupils shrank.
"Haha, Brother Liang, you're fine!" Murong Xuewei cupped her hands towards Liang Yan. Although she was wearing the clothes of an ordinary guard at the moment, with her black hair hanging casually, her charming face could not be concealed at all.
The two people now stand side by side, the man is dashing and the woman is pretty, and they seem to have a tacit understanding with each other. Even an outsider like Liang Yan can see that the relationship between the two is already extraordinary.
"So you are just shouting to catch a thief! On the surface, you want Yu Wenshou to use the 'Blood Corpse Cauldron' to help you get rid of Murong Xuewei. In fact, secretly you are thinking about the 'Blood Corpse Cauldron' and want to get it."
?" Liang Yan said with an expression of sudden realization.
"Haha, Brother Liang has a sharp eye!"
"What about this so-called 'Murong Wenqin'?" Liang Yan asked again.
"This is indeed true." Ji Lai smiled slightly and said: "There are many factions in Murong's family, and they are fighting each other openly and secretly. This time Murong Wenqin came to kill Xuewei, but he was deceived by me halfway.
Gone somewhere else.”
"What a trick!" Liang Yan nodded and said, "Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative. If they get this 'Blood Corpse Cauldron', they will not dare to attack Murong Xuewei again."
"It seems that you listened to the conversation I had with Yu Wenshou from beginning to end." Ji Lai looked quite helpless.
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "I originally went to inquire about the news, and I found out by chance. However, Liang is still a little confused. According to your plan, even if Yu Wenshou is willing to take you to get the 'Blood Corpse Cauldron'
, but with your current cultivation level and magical powers, I’m afraid it’s not enough to win the tripod, right?”
Liang Yan's words were very direct. Ji Lai and Murong Xuewei were just monks in the Qi refining stage, and the three guardians were all in the later stage of foundation building. Even if Ji Lai had strange magical powers and Murong Xuewei helped him,
There is no chance of winning.
However, after hearing this, Ji Lai flapped his folding fan gently and said with a smile: "I have reinforcements that will arrive soon. Everything is ready now, all I need is the east wind!"
Liang Yan showed a hint of interest and said, "Oh? Brother Ji still has reinforcements! But I don't know what the 'East Wind' refers to?"
Ji Lai looked at Liang Yan, smiled slightly and said: "Originally, this 'Dongfeng' had other plans, but now that I have met Brother Liang, then this 'Dongfeng' must be Brother Liang!"
Liang Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have dug a hole for myself."
"Haha, Brother Liang, you don't have to say anything nice. I don't believe you have any plans to sneak into this dead man's tomb?" Ji Lai said with a wink.
Liang Yan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then suddenly asked: "Is this 'Blood Corpse Cauldron' the ancestral treasure of the Dead Man's Tomb?"
"this"
Ji Lai didn't seem to expect that he would ask such a question, and he didn't answer it for a moment. However, Murong Xuewei beside him said in deep thought:
"The Tomb of the Dead was founded by Murong Han of our Murong family. In the final analysis, it is also a branch of our Murong family. And this 'Blood Corpse Cauldron' is a treasure passed down by Murong Han. It can be said that it is a treasure of the clan.
not bad."
"In that case." Liang Yan nodded and said: "I can agree to cooperate with you, but I have a condition. After I get the 'Blood Corpse Cauldron', I must use it once first. I will return it to you after I use it.
you."
"Huh?" Murong Xuewei said curiously after hearing this: "As far as I know, aren't you a sword cultivator? What do you need this corpse path treasure for?"
"You don't have to worry about it." Liang Yan waved his hand and said, "I have my own uses, you just need to say whether you agree or not."
Murong Xuewei and Ji Lai looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, they nodded and said, "Okay! Just as Brother Liang said, I hope we can both get what we need this time!"
"Haha, Brother Liang, this is our second time working together!"
Ji Lai laughed, handed a yellow talisman to Liang Yan's hand, and then said: "This is the transmission talisman. When Yu Wenshou agrees to take us to get the 'Blood Corpse Cauldron', I will use this transmission talisman in advance."
inform you."
"Then I'll just wait for the good news!"
Liang Yan stood up, bowed his hands to the two of them, turned around and left the stone room.
This unexpected encounter with Ji Lai was outside of his plan, but the coincidence saved him a lot of effort.
"The name of this 'Blood Corpse Cauldron' is a magic weapon used to refine corpses. It must contain a lot of death energy. Once I absorb the death energy in this treasure, I should be able to solve the problem of the imbalance of life and death in my body.
Less?"
Liang Yan asked as if he was talking to himself while walking in the darkness. But as soon as he finished speaking, an old and greasy voice came from the pouch on his waist:
"Hey, it's more than just solving this problem. Didn't I hear that girl say that this 'Blood Corpse Cauldron' is the sect treasure of the Tomb of the Dead, and maybe you can use your Juetian Dao Foundation to seize part of the sect's luck from it.
