Chapter 802: Going deep into the fog
After hearing what he said, Liang Yan couldn’t help but frown, and asked: "What was the situation at that time? Please explain it in detail, Taoist Nanyang."
Taoist Nanyang click He nodded and said: "At that time, our five forces gathered a total of more than 60 foundation-building monks, and five elders from the Juyuan Realm led the team. After some exploration, they entered this forest by mistake. .”
"The aura in that woodland is so abundant that it is not comparable to any place in Hell. After discussion, the elders leading the team decided to go deep into it to find out."
"But this woodland is not comparable to any other place in Hell. It was very strange. The further they went in, the more they felt something was wrong. In the end, with their strong spiritual consciousness in the Juyuan realm, they could not tell the direction. At the same time, there was a powerful restriction that prevented them from flying."
When Liang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Why don't you leave an elder outside to provide support in case of unexpected events?"
After hearing this, Taoist Nanyang sighed and said: "The so-called desire for profit clouds the heart. At that time, we were exploring The monks in the bamboo forest were all attracted by the rich spiritual energy. You have to know how many years the underworld has been They are all able to practice with immortal stones. Now that such a treasure has been discovered, who doesn’t want to be the first to go in and see what happens?”
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded helplessly. It is a monk’s instinct to fight for opportunities. In front of such a precious land, who would be willing to stand guard outside and let others get the opportunity first?
"What happened next?" Liang Yan asked.
"Later, the whole army was annihilated. Almost all the monks who participated in this exploration died inside. Only Tang Jingyun, the elder of our Qixing Pavilion, managed to escape from the bamboo forest by using the secret method of burning essence and blood. out Come. But when he returned to Qixing Pavilion, he was already dying. Although we tried our best to treat him, we were unable to save him and could only watch Taoist Fellow Tang die." Taoist Nanyang said with a sad expression.
"Fellow Taoist Nanyang, please express my condolences." Liang Yan comforted him and asked: "After Taoist Tang returned to the sect, did you describe the situation in detail?"
Taoist Nanyang's face showed a hint of reminiscence. With a look on his face, he said slowly: "After Tang Jingyun came back, he took the exploration bamboo Lin's situation was explained from beginning to end, but when he finally died, he only said the word "bamboo demon", with a look of extreme horror on his face, and then passed away. "
"Bamboo Demon." Liang Yan murmured, then stood there and pondered.
At this time, Nanyang Taoist stood up and bowed his head, bowed his hands in front of him and said: "We have informed Ambassador Liang of such a secret matter, just because we hope to invite Mr. Liang to come out and take charge of the overall situation, and wait with us. Let’s explore this bamboo forest together.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan showed a half-smiling expression on his face and said: "Liang is just the newly appointed envoy. There are still seven star elders and golden elixir alliance leaders in the alliance. Such a good thing Why do you want to find Liang’s head?”
Taoist Nanyang smiled and said: "You are too polite, Mr. Liang. No one knows your story of defeating Li Yan in twenty-seven moves. In terms of fighting skills, none of the seven stars can be a match for Mr. Liang. As for Liang, no one knows about it. "Leader Meng"
When he said this, he paused slightly and seemed to think about it before continuing: "If this matter is reported to Leader Meng, then no matter what treasures are obtained in the forest, I am afraid that it will be the last It will be handed over to the Flying Star Alliance in the end. We can only get a little fairy stone. But if a few people like me enter secretly, we can divide the treasure without anyone noticing."
Liang Yan was slightly surprised after hearing this. With a smile, he actually had expected that this group of people were worried about the danger in the forest and wanted to find a strong person to lead the team in, but they were unwilling to alert the leader and let the treasures they obtained be used as wedding dresses for others.
"Since Nanyang Taoist Fellows have spoken up to this point, if Liang refuses again, it would be disrespectful to all fellow Taoists." Liang Yan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Taoist Nanyang showed a hint of joy on his face. The other four people also stood up, raised their hands to Liang Yan and said, "Please take charge of the overall situation, Mr. Liang!"
Liang Yan waved his hand and said: "We are all Taoist friends in the alliance, so there is no need to be so polite! However, this Zhulin group must be kept secret. Please restrain your men after you go back and not leak the news."
Nanyang Taoist Hehe smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Liang, please rest assured, this matter is in our Qixing Pavilion." Among them, only two close elders knew about it, and they were absolutely tight-lipped. As for the other four forces, the old Taoists came to visit in person and informed the four Taoists about it, and they did not pass the news through others."
"Nanyang. Fellow Taoist, you are interested." Liang Yan nodded slightly, very satisfied with his approach.
Next, he discussed with the five people the specific details of the treasure hunt and the distribution principles after the treasure was discovered. Finally, after half an hour, everyone reached a consensus.
"In that case, the matter is settled." Liang Yan slightly cupped his hands to everyone and said: "In ten days, Liang will go to Qixing Pavilion on time and set off with all fellow Taoists."< br>
The five people stood up at the same time and saluted: "I will wait at Qixing Pavilion to welcome Ambassador Liang."
After the few people finished speaking, they did not stay much longer and left each other. In the huge reception room, only Liang Yan and Wu Xin got off.
Wuxin looked at Liang Yan and asked with some worry: "Are you really going?"
"Of course I want to go." Liang Yan nodded and said, "I have been doing this all these years. When exploring Hades, I will not miss any unusual place."
"But this place is too weird. The five Juyuan Realm monks who entered before have no bones left. I'm worried. I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you go." Wu Xin said with a frown.
Liang Yan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I act with discretion. If there is any danger, I will retreat in time."
"Then I will go with you, so that you can take care of me along the way. "
"No." Liang Yan waved his hand and said: "Yunyan Society will always be our foundation in Hades. There must be one of us. Stay here!"
After hearing Liang Yan's words, Wu Xin couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "That's all, I know I can't change your decision. I'll give this to you if there is any emergency. Maybe it can come in handy."
She took out a golden bell from her storage bag and handed it into Liang Yan's hand.
"What is this? Why can't I detect any aura?" Liang Yan played with the bell in his hand, with a hint of curiosity on his face.
Wuxin smiled slightly, stretched out a finger to fiddle with the bell, and immediately a circle of magic patterns spread out, protecting Liang Yan's entire body inside.
Feeling the surging demonic energy around him, Liang Yan couldn't help but change his expression slightly, and quickly created a ban, covering the entire living room.
"This is the 'Happiness Bell'. It can withstand a full blow from the early Golden Core monks, but it can only be used three times. After three times, it will collapse on its own." Wu Xin said slowly.
“Can you actually withstand the full blow of a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core?” Liang Yan was slightly startled, but then he remembered that Wuxin was once a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core, so it was not surprising to have such a treasure.
"This thing is too valuable, I" He was about to say something, but Wuxin stuck a finger to his mouth.
“I don’t care what happens after we get out of Hell. As long as we are still in Hell, we are in the same boat. It is also very beneficial to me for you to explore the way to leave this place. A magic weapon can What does it matter?" Wu Xin said with a gentle expression.
After hearing this, Liang Yan was silent for a long time, and finally just nodded and said:
"I will definitely take you out."
Wuxin smiled, He didn't speak, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
In the following days, the Yunyan Society's outward exploration and expansion slowed down, and some forces that had been suppressed by the Yunyan Society for a long time also breathed a sigh of relief. The Seven Star Pavilion is close to the western border of the Feixing Alliance, and can almost be regarded as a border gate. There are thirteen Juyuan Realm monks in the pavilion, and the master of the pavilion, Nanyang Taoist, has a cultivation level in the late Juyuan Realm, and is not weak.
That night, an inconspicuous gray light pierced the sky and flew from the east.
The monk in the escaping light seemed to be deliberately hiding himself. From the beginning to the end, he did not leak any breath. Even the monks patrolling the late foundation building of Qixing Pavilion did not notice his arrival. .
The gray escaping light finally landed on a boulder outside the Seven Star Pavilion, revealing a young man wearing gray clothes.
He stared at the city wall in the night in silence for a moment, then suddenly shook his sleeves, and a white spiritual light flew out of his sleeves, sneaking into the city silently.
After about half a cup of tea, five figures flew out of the city one after another, and finally landed in front of the young man.
The man at the head chuckled, raised his hand to disperse the light, revealing his appearance. He was none other than a Taoist from Nanyang.
“I’ve seen Ambassador Liang!”
Nanyang Taoist clasped his fists and saluted, and several people behind him also stepped forward to salute.
"There is no need to have these formalities."
Liang Yan put his hands behind his back and asked leisurely: "You came out this time, didn't you disturb other people?"
"Mr. Liang, don't worry, we To the outside world, he claims to be practicing in seclusion. Except for one or two close men, no one else knows about this trip."
"That's good." Liang Yan nodded and said to the middle-aged Taoist priest beside him. Said: " Liang came alone this time, which shows his sincerity. Nanyang Taoist should stop playing riddles at this time, right? Please explain the specific location of the bamboo forest."
Nanyang Taoist hurriedly smiled and said: "Liang. Don’t be surprised, Your Majesty. After all, I got the news at the expense of the lives of five fellow Taoists. I was a bit cautious before, but since Ambassador Liang arrived as promised, we will not hide it.”
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his sleeve, handed it into Liang Yan's hand, and said: "This is the topographic map that the old Taoist drew based on what Tang Jingyun told him before he died. The approximate location of the bamboo forest has been marked. .”
After hearing this, Liang Yan took the He opened the scroll, glanced at it briefly, and said in surprise: "It's actually so far away from the four major alliances?"
The topographic map drawn by Nanyang Taoist, where the bamboo forest is, has penetrated into the underworld. Deep in the mist, it is very far away from the location of the four major alliances.
"Zun Liang, you also know that the monks of the four major alliances have been actively exploring Hades in recent years. Some nearby areas have been explored for a long time. The only way to venture into the depths of this mist is to Only then can we find some opportunity," Taoist Nanyang said slowly.
What this person said is the truth. Originally, the entire Hades was shrouded in a layer of fog. However, over thousands of years, the monks of the four major alliances gradually used formations to drive away the fog, and only one party could survive. of pure land.
But the area outside the four major alliances is still full of fog.
Many self-respecting monks rashly sneaked in to explore. Even though some people got the opportunity and returned with great achievements, most of them ended up dead.
Liang Yan has been traveling here and there over the years, and he has indeed come to this realization. The areas opened by the four major alliances have long been searched. If he wants to investigate the truth about Hades, he has to go into the depths of the mist. No.
"Okay, since you want to get the opportunity, how can you not take some risks?" Liang Yan took a deep breath and said: "It takes a lot of time to get to the bamboo forest, let's not delay, let's set off immediately!"
After hearing this, the other five people had no objections. Several people made a secret together and turned into six rays of escaping light. In just a blink of an eye, they disappeared from the horizon.
Three months later, in an endless gray desert, six escaping lights were flying side by side in the high sky.
The fog in Hell is vast and boundless, and can block people's spiritual consciousness. Being in the fog, they can only sense a range of tens of feet around them.
Even with the cultivation level of a few people in the Yuan Jue realm, they don’t dare to fly too fast.
In the past three months, several people have been attacked by some underworld beasts. Fortunately, they are not too strong. The six of them took turns to deal with them. Now they are not far away from the place marked on the map. Far away.
"Master Liang, it's less than half a day's journey from the bamboo forest. Why don't we let everyone meditate to replenish their spiritual power and adjust their state to the best?" Nanyang Taoist asked.
After hearing this, Liang Yan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
After all, the place they are going to is dangerous and unknown, so they still have to be fully prepared.
The six of them pressed down the escape light at the same time and set up a temporary formation on a piece of yellow sand. Then they each took out the elixir to restore their spiritual power, drank it, and began to meditate with their eyes closed.
Liang Yan practiced the "Tao Sword Sutra", "Eight Parts of Evolution" and "The Method of Mind Without Determination" at the same time. His spiritual power was more than a little thicker than that of ordinary monks. He did not need to restore his spiritual power. Just sit quietly.
Half an hour passed quickly, and everyone sat cross-legged in meditation, each performing their own exercises. The place was completely silent, without any sound.
However, at this moment, Liang Yan suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge head poked out from under the yellow sand, a blood basin He bit everyone with his big mouth.
The expressions of the other five people changed drastically, and each of them raised a beam of light and soared into the sky.
Tang Shaoyu reacted the slowest, and his escape speed was not fast. He fell last among the six, and was actually bitten in half of his arm by that bloody mouth!
The man groaned miserably, but after noticing a cold air entering his body from his arm, he made a prompt decision and cut off his left arm with one palm.
After escaping with his arm broken, Tang Shaoyu's face turned pale. Looking at the beast below, it had four eyes and eight legs, a huge body, but an extremely long neck, and was covered in fleshy lumps. It looked nondescript.
