Chapter 387 The Place where the Sword is Hidden
Liang Yan entered the courtyard and bowed his hands to the seven people who had arrived one by one. When Jin Yuye saw him greeting her, his expression was as usual, no different from others, and he couldn't help but feel sad again. Somewhat lost.
Just as she was thinking secretly about how to speak to Liang Yan, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the hospital, followed by a jade-faced middle-aged man with short hair and wearing a blue Taoist robe. Stepping in, he cupped his hands towards Ximen Hao and said:
“Shi Mou Suo I have been busy with things and have delayed the time of the city lord and all my colleagues. Please forgive me.”
“No problem!” Ximen Hao waved his hand and said, “Junior Brother Shi has worked hard to stabilize Yuancheng, but I am the one. This city lord has done very little and feels a little sorry.”
Liang Yan was slightly stunned as he listened. Although he knew that Zhiyuan City was controlled by Huang Jue Palace, Guang Han was wearing a Taoist robe when he saw him twice, and he was also practicing the Five Elements Technique. With the magical power of ice, I felt that this person should not be from Huang Jue Palace. But just now Ximen Hao addressed him as "junior brother", which was really puzzling.
"Do people in the Demon Sect also like to wear Taoist robes and practice Taoism?"
Liang Yan did not say this in his heart, but subconsciously asked Jin Yuye next to him .
Seeing that he was finally willing to take the initiative to talk to her, Jin Yuye could not help but feel refreshed and replied: "Brother Liang has a good idea, but you don't know something. This Shi Guanghan originally belonged to Nanshan Temple A disciple of Nanshan Temple, it was just thirty years ago that Nanshan Temple He joined the Huangjue Palace, and Shi Guanghan was a genius rarely seen in Nanshan Temple for hundreds of years, so he was promoted to the Huangjue Palace and enjoyed the resources and treatment of the inner disciples of the Huangjue Palace. "< br>
“That’s it!”
Liang Yan nodded silently after hearing this. No wonder the deputy city master was a monk from the Demon Sect, but he always wore a Taoist robe. Although this move is strange, except for Confucian disciples, most cultivators do not adhere to etiquette and law, and are free and easy. It is estimated that the senior officials of Huangjue Palace will not care about how he is dressed.
At this time, several people who were also Sword Suppressors, including Ximen Hao himself, a total of nine people, had all arrived. I saw Ximen Hao glance at everyone, and then slowly said:
"Today's matter will trouble all fellow Taoists. After the matter is completed, all the benefits promised by the city lord in the summoning order will naturally be lost. I will break my promise!”
Among the people, Songhou was the first to say with a smile:
“Haha, Lord Ximen, you are so polite, we will do our best for today’s matter!”< br>
Then Qiao Wanli, Gou Shishuang, Liu Jing and others also echoed it, and some even congratulated Ximen Hao in advance for raising the flying sword, and the advanced sword embryo stage is just around the corner.
Ximen Hao naturally thanked me one by one for this. At this moment, he suddenly heard a young man's voice saying: "City Lord Ximen, before I take the sword, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you can grant it?"< br>
Ximen Hao frowned when he heard this. He turned around and saw that the person speaking was Liang Yan.
“What else does Fellow Taoist Liang have to ask for?” Ximen Hao asked after thinking for a while.
“If the sword acquisition is successful this time, Liang will not need to summon the spiritual stones and treasures in the order. He will only ask for a handful of monkey hair from the Four Seasons Split Flame Monkey, and the city lord will grant it.”< br>
"Hahaha! What do I think?" Ximen Hao laughed after hearing this: "It's just a bunch of monkey hair. This is not difficult. I, Ximen Hao, agreed. As long as the sword is successfully retrieved, these are all easy to talk about!"
When Liang Yan heard his immediate agreement, a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart.
In fact, he also used some careful thinking. He did not bring up the matter during the banquet that day, but waited until the moment before the departure day.
Because there are more than eight foundation-building monks in Zhiyuan City. According to Liang Yan's guess, there are about ten more. These people are all monks who came here to compete for quota and failed.
If it was brought up too early and Ximen Hao didn't want to agree, then he would have enough time to find someone else to take Liang Yan's place. That's why Liang Yan waited until the moment before taking the sword before bringing it up. He believed that as long as Ximen Hao didn't value the Four Seasons Splitting Flame Monkey too much, he could reluctantly agree to it.
Of course, this method also has disadvantages. If you encounter a monk with a bad temper, you may fall out on the spot. But Liang Yan made several observations and found that Ximen Hao was a sensible person, like a person who only acted for profit. He would not delay the trip to get the sword for such a thing, so he postponed it until now.
Sure enough, Ximen Hao agreed without hesitation. He still waited where he was, as if to say: "If you have any other requests, please put them forward now!"
< br>But after a while, everyone no longer responded. , Ximen Hao coughed and said loudly: "Now that you are all ready, let's set off to the place where swords are made."
As Ximen Hao spoke, he pinched the magic formula and escaped. The light emerged and turned into a purple rainbow, flying into the air first.
Liang Yan knew that Ximen Hao attached great importance to the "Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword", so he kept the location where the sword was hidden secret. Even the eight of them who participated in fetching the sword still don't know where to fetch the sword.
But now that Ximen Hao is leading the way, they naturally don’t need to worry about it themselves. The eight people in the field, including Liang Yan, also made their own secrets and flew into the air. Various escaping lights walked side by side. Following a purple rainbow, they leisurely left Zhiyuan City and flew towards the southern suburbs outside the city.
The nine people flew for about three hours when they suddenly saw towering mountains and green vegetation in front of them, and they turned out to be near a mountain range.
"This is Yangping Mountain. The power of earth fire is strong in the heart of the mountain. If you have juniors who practice fire-based skills, you may consider coming here to practice. You will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Ximen Hao said with a smile.
After everyone heard this, they knew that he could not have a random idea and chat with everyone in an unrelated place. It seemed that the place where the sword was hidden was here.
Sure enough, Ximen Hao, who was flying in front, suddenly lowered his escape light and flew towards a valley below surrounded by many peaks. Seeing this, everyone followed closely behind Ximen Hao and dived towards the valley.
"Swish, swish!"
A few piercing sounds passed through the air, and then nine figures landed on a pile of boulders in the valley. The nine people stood in silence. What appeared in front of them was a huge open space. The open space was overgrown with weeds and seemed empty at first glance.
Just when everyone was confused, Ximen Hao, who was standing in front, suddenly raised his hand and took out a jade tablet. A burst of red light flashed on the jade tablet, and a moment later a red light beam flew upward diagonally.
At the same time, in the open space in front of everyone, a red beam of light suddenly flew out and merged with Ximen Hao's beam of light in mid-air.
The two light pillars merged into one, and actually shattered the scenery in front of them into pieces. When everyone came back to their senses, there was no huge open space in front of them, it was clearly a vast magma!
In the middle of the magma, there is a cauldron as big as a roof. Most of this cauldron is sunk in the magma, with only the furnace lid and corners exposed.
At this time, an old man with gray hair in Confucian robes was sitting cross-legged above the magma, holding a jade medal identical to that of Ximen Hao in his hand. Obviously, the other red light just now was from him. It was emitted from within this phantom array.
“Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist Baili!”
At this time, Ximen Hao smiled slightly and said respectfully to the old man in Confucian robes suspended in mid-air.
