Liang Yan also had a look of surprise on his face, and then he heard Yu Xuanji continue:
"The eldest daughter of Huangshi Gong, Zuoqiu Mingzhu, is married to the second son of the leader of the Beihai Demon Clan. The two families are naturally related by marriage. And the reason why Zuoqiu Ren is able to transcend the five great sects and even the Qianyuan Holy Palace is
There are two main ways to make friends with them. One of them is naturally the monk from outside the territory who understood the Yellowstone Book three thousand years ago, and the other is the leader of the Beihai Demon Clan."
"Hmph, the Zuoqiu family is good at finding backers through marriages." Liang Yan smiled sarcastically, thought for a moment and then asked: "What's so special about the patriarch of the Beihai Demon Clan? He can actually be on an equal footing with the head of our Yungang Sect.
."
"This monster has extraordinary talents and an eccentric personality. He named himself 'Old Monster of Yang Yan' because he had a great opportunity when he was young and incorporated the Taoist 'Pure Dust Yang Yan' into his body, and he has since developed a fire-based magical power.
, I have been hanging southward for hundreds of years, except for the two people I just mentioned, I am afraid I will never meet an opponent in the Golden Core Realm."
"Old Monster Yang Yan." Liang Yan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Besides this person, what other experts are there in the Beihai Monster Clan?"
"The Beihai Monster Clan has three major protectors starting from 'Old Monster Yang Yan', namely 'Lilong', 'Yushu' and 'Hanshi'. These three monsters are at least in the middle stage of the Golden Core, especially '
Han Shi, this old man is treacherous and treacherous, and his cultivation is not inferior to that of his master. I had a big dispute with him back then, so it is inconvenient for me to appear at this exchange meeting."
Liang Yan remembered the names mentioned by Yu Xuanji in his mind one by one. After a while, he nodded and said, "This disciple will be careful during this trip. He will definitely fulfill his mission and bring the marrow-cleansing glass back to Yungang Sect safely."
After hearing this, Yu Xuanji nodded slightly and said: "I feel relieved because of your words. You must know that although your magical power is strong, this trip is on someone else's territory after all, so you can tolerate everything you can, and turn big things into small things."
, try not to cause unnecessary problems."
"Disciple understands."
Liang Yan nodded, chatted with Yu Xuanji for a few more words, and then left with Li Xiaosong.
Now that he has achieved the golden elixir, he is qualified to choose one of the peaks in Yungang to open his own cave, so after leaving Yu Xuanji's Guanyu Peak, Liang Yan went straight to a remote mountain peak.
This peak is called 'Danyang Peak', and it is not among the eight peaks of Yungang. Although the peak is small, it does not lack spiritual energy. However, there are no golden elixir monks to open a dojo here, so few people have been interested in it.
Liang Yan chose a location in the mountain peak close to the spiritual veins, used his magical power to open up a temporary cave, and then began to practice peacefully here.
From that day on, news spread like wildfire that a disciple of the Yungang Sect had returned to the Golden Core Realm. Although the "Danyang Peak" where Liang Yan was located was remote, it could not stop these curious people.
Disciples from the Yungang Sect came to visit almost every day. Some disciples from the Juyuan Realm even began to call him uncle. Several elders from the Golden Core Realm often came to him to drink tea and talk about Taoism.
"Danyang Peak" was very lively for a while.
Although Liang Yan was a little impatient about this, he accepted them all one by one. During this period, he even met some old acquaintances, such as Zhang Song from Stone Monkey Peak and Jin Jiuzhong from Shenju Peak.
Especially Jin Jiuzhong, who was one of the "Yungang Five Sons" at that time. He once attracted Liang Yan due to factional disputes and had some problems with him. He was afraid that he would offend this "Uncle Master", so he came here in person.
Come to apologize.
Of course, Liang Yan would not take this trivial matter to heart. Although Jin Jiuzhong was already in the middle stage of foundation building at this time, he was far from him. What's more, the two of them had not directly clashed at the time, so they were just casual
After chatting for a few words, he let this person go back.
From the mouths of these visitors, Liang Yan also learned that of the "Five Yungang Sons" now only Zhang Song and Jin Jiuchong were left. As for the peerless Xue Tianyu, the honest and honest Li Yuanbao, and
Shui Linglong, who left the deepest impression on him, died in the Yungang disaster fifty years ago.
Speaking of Shui Linglong, this woman has the strongest personality and only serves the clan. Although she slightly contradicts Liang Yan's ideas, Liang Yan has great respect for this woman.
It is said that during the Yungang Catastrophe fifty years ago, Shui Linglong happened to break through to the early stage of foundation building. She had a chance to escape from the enemy, but she went into danger alone in order to rescue several junior brothers and sisters. In the end, although several of her classmates succeeded
He was rescued, but he was too seriously injured and died.
After hearing what happened to Shui Linglong, Liang Yan could only sigh softly. Recalling his experience with this woman in the little secret realm, this kind of behavior did seem like what she would do.
Liang Yan has been practicing Taoism to this day, and the biggest principle he adheres to is "being wise and protecting yourself". Most of the time, when faced with disputes, he doesn't want to get involved, because he is afraid of getting burned.
But in the world of cultivation, there is also a group of people who are willing to dedicate themselves to their beliefs, even at the expense of hundreds of years of hard work.
Although Liang Yan is different from them, he still admires a monk like Shui Linglong. After all, he is not an old monster who has been practicing for thousands of years. He still has warm blood in his body, and occasionally has "anger"
when.
For example, he forcibly sealed Gui Si back then, or he used his cultivation in the Juyuan Realm to cause trouble in the Yellowstone Mountains with Dumb. All these are things that lead to a narrow escape from death.
But after the madness, most of the time, he still maintained a calm heart.
"It's a pity, Senior Sister Shui. If there is an afterlife, I hope you can embark on a peaceful and peaceful path of cultivation."
Liang Yan sighed in his heart, threw these messy thoughts out of his mind, and began to meditate quietly in the cave.
Nearly a month passed in such a peaceful cultivation time. At the end of the month, Shan Hezai also sent people to deliver the Yuanshi grass, Celestial Silkworm Secret Sand and Poisonous Dragon Ghost Eggs he needed, and each material was in sufficient quantity.
It was completely enough for him to refine his sword eighty times.
"The head master is determined."
Liang Yan sat cross-legged in the cave, took out all the materials on his body and took inventory, finally nodded, and said to himself: "Now everything is ready, all that's left is the 'Golden Phoenix Dew'.
This time the Beihai Demon Clan and his party are bound to get this treasure!"
That night, Liang Yan left his "Danyang Peak" and came to Yu Xuanji's "Guanyu Hall". After saying hello to his master, he took Li Xiaosong down Yungang Mountain.
, galloping towards the north
Panlong Town is located in the far north of Nansui. The transportation here is inconvenient and the population is sparse. There are only seven to eight hundred households in the whole town, which can be said to be very deserted.
It is said that their ancestors were refugees from some poor countries. They immigrated to this remote place in their early years to escape the scourge of war, and then took root here. For generations, their ancestors have made a living by nomadic hunting and lived a very poor life.
In the north of Panlong Town, there is a vast desert. This desert has no name, but its vast area seems to be endless.
It is said that there is a rare treasure in the desert, and if you get it, you will be rich and powerful. Because of this rumor that comes from nowhere, young people in Panlong Town often go into groups to explore deep into the desert.
However, most of these adventurous people never come back. Only a few lucky ones can come back alive from the desert, and the scenes they describe are very different.
Some people say that there are no treasures in the desert, but there are monsters and evil spirits. It is simply a purgatory on earth.
Some people also say that there is a "city in the sand" in the desert, which is the ruins of immortals. It usually floats in mid-air. As long as you can find a way to enter, you can find gold, jewelry, and jade beauties.
There was also a man named "Raizo" who claimed to have walked to the end of the desert. After returning, he went crazy. He told everyone he saw there that he saw the ultimate of all things and the end of the world.
Of course, no one in Panlong Town would believe what he said. At most, they would just be used for after-dinner conversation. People here have been living here for generations, and most of them are down-to-earth and live diligently. They have long since
I have become completely immune to these strange things.
At this time, in a tavern in Panlong Town, a man in gray clothes with a height of seven feet and long flowing hair was sitting opposite a horse-faced young man in a Confucian robe. The two were drinking, writing poems, and seemed to be talking to each other.
Very happy.
"Hahaha, so to speak, this Lai San is a wonderful man!" The horse-faced man took a sip of wine and laughed: "Shopkeeper, don't tell me, maybe this person has really reached the end of the desert. Look,
It’s a sight you’ve never seen before!”
The town was sparsely populated, and there were not many tourists coming and going. In the hotel, these two guests were the only ones drinking. After hearing this, the shopkeeper poked his head out from behind the counter, stretched and then said slowly:
"Impossible, there is no 'ultimate of all things'. Laisan is an orphan. He was bullied by his peers in the town when he was a child. His brain has long been abnormal. After entering the desert, he went completely crazy. That's why he has these fantasies.
As for that 'city in the sand', it's nothing more than a mirage."
"hehe."
The horse-faced man smiled slightly and did not comment on the shopkeeper's answer. Instead, he looked at the man in gray in front of him and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, what do you think? Is this 'Lai San' really crazy?"
The man in gray lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said calmly: "It is never up to you to decide whether you are crazy or not. Just like this 'Lai San', as long as everyone says he is crazy, then he is crazy."
"Haha, well said!"
The horse-faced young man clapped his hands, suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table, smiled at the man in gray and said, "Feng gives you a drink!"
While he was speaking, he pressed one palm on the table and tapped the table casually with his fingers.
The man in gray clothes smiled slightly when he saw this, he also put one palm on the table, and picked up the wine glass with the other hand and drank it all.
Both of them were sitting still, but there was an invisible energy surrounding them, and even the wine glasses on other tables began to tremble slightly.
“Good wine!”
The horse-faced young man drank the wine in one gulp, then put down the glass with a "Sure enough" expression on his face.
"Your Excellency is indeed a fellow-minded person. This is not the place to talk. Why don't we go somewhere else and let's drink and chat again?" the horse-faced young man said with a smile.
"That's what I meant." The man in gray nodded and agreed without thinking.
"Shopkeeper, here's the money for the drinks!"
The shopkeeper, who was dozing lazily behind the counter, suddenly heard a shout from the horse-faced man and hurriedly opened his eyes. However, he found that his store was already empty. The man in gray clothes and the horse-faced young man who were drinking were already there.
, all of them disappeared.
But there was a big gold ingot placed on their wine table.
"Oh, it's too much! It's too much! You can buy my entire restaurant with this money!"
The shopkeeper yelled and took the gold ingots on the table and was about to chase him out the door. However, he had just run a few steps when he heard a "Boom!" and all the tables and chairs in his restaurant melted at the same time.
for powder.
At this time, outside Panlong Town, two escaping lights came one behind the other, suddenly rushing out dozens of miles away, and then landed on an ancient road at the same time.
When the light dissipated, the two figures inside were revealed. They were the man in gray clothes and the young man with a horse face who were in the restaurant before.
"Brother Liang is indeed a cultivator. Since he came here, he must be here for the once-in-a-hundred-year North Sea Monster Clan exchange meeting, right?" The horse-faced young man cupped his hands towards the other party and spoke first.
"Yes, rare treasures often appear in the exchange meetings of the Beihai Demon Clan. Liang has been fascinated by them for a long time, so he came all the way here." The man in gray admitted frankly.
In fact, this man in gray clothes and long hair is naturally Liang Yan who came from Yungang Sect.
Because of the riot in Huangshi Mountain, Huangshi Gong Zuo Qiu Ren must have a grudge against him. As for the Beihai Demon Clan Exchange Meeting, Zuo Qiu Ren, as a relative of "Old Monster Yang Yan", might also attend.
.
Although Liang Yan was not afraid of Zuo Qiu Ren and his like with his current strength, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble and successfully retrieve the "Golden Phoenix Dew" and "Marrow Washing Glass", Liang Yan decided to use "Yuanmu Dao"
The spell should be disguised to avoid unnecessary complications.
The horse-faced man chuckled and said, "Feng Jie is the senior disciple of Feiyun Academy. I wonder what sect Liang Daoyou is from?"
Liang Yan chuckled and said, "It's a bit embarrassing to say that Liang Zhidao is not a true disciple of a big sect like Brother Feng, but an insignificant casual cultivator."
After hearing this, Feng Jie said in awe and said: "Your Excellency is a casual cultivator, but you can cultivate to the middle stage of Juyuan Realm. This talent and diligence are really rare!"
"Brother Feng is too complimentary."
Liang Yan cupped his hands, and the two exchanged a few polite words before hearing Feng Jie say with a smile: "Actually, the end of this desert is the coast of the Sea of Lost Souls. How can secular people imagine the human continent if they are ignorant?"
How vast is it? Although the 'Lazy Three' was lucky enough to witness the magnificence of the Sea of Lost Souls, he was still regarded as a madman after he came back."
