Chapter 880 The Far North
“It’s actually him!”
Liang Yan also had a look of surprise on his face, and then he heard Yu Xuanji continue:
< br>"Huang Shigong's eldest daughter Zuoqiu Mingzhu married 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 can transcend the five great sects and even the Qianyuan Holy Palace Everybody must make friends There are two main sources of support for them. One is naturally the outsider monk who understood the Yellowstone Heavenly Book three thousand years ago, and the other is the leader of the Beihai Monster Clan."
"Humph, this is the Zuoqiu family. On the contrary He's good at finding backers through marriage." Liang Yan smiled sarcastically, then thought about it and asked, "What's so special about the leader of the Beihai Demon Clan that he can actually be on an equal footing with the head of our Yungang Sect?"
"This monster is extremely talented and has an eccentric personality. He named himself 'Yang Yan Old Monster' because he had a great opportunity when he was young. He incorporated the Taoist 'Pure Dust Yang Yan' into his body and has since developed a fire-based magical power. , has been hanging southward for hundreds of years, except for the two people I just mentioned, I am afraid it is difficult to meet an opponent in the Golden Core Realm."
"Yang Yan. Old monster." Liang Yan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Besides this person, what other masters do the North Sea Monster Clan have?" There are also three major guardians, namely 'Lilong', 'Yushu' and 'Hanshi'. These three demons are all at the middle stage of Jindan, especially 'Hanshi'. ', this old man is cunning and cunning, and his cultivation is not as good as his master. I had a big dispute with him back then, so it was inconvenient for me to come forward at this exchange meeting. "
Liang Yan. He remembered the names mentioned by Yu Xuanji in his mind one by one, and after a while he nodded and said: "This disciple will be careful during this trip, and he will definitely not Disgrace your mission and bring the marrow-cleaning glass back to Yungang Sect safely."
After hearing this, Yu Xuanji nodded slightly and said, "I feel relieved because of your words. Although you have strong magical powers, this is not the case. After all, we are on other people’s territory, so we should tolerate everything we can, reduce big things to small ones, and try not to create extraneous 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 place. of small mountain peaks.
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 veins. 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 Master, and several elders from the Golden Core Realm often came to him to drink tea. Speaking of which, the originally deserted "Danyang Peak" was bustling with activity.
Although Liang Yan was a little impatient with this, he accepted them 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 "Five Sons of Yun Gang" at that time. He once attracted Liang Yan due to factional disputes and had some problems with him. He was afraid of offending this "teacher". "Uncle", he even came to the door in person 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 his own, not to mention that the two of them did not have a direct relationship back then. There was no conflict, so I just had a casual chat and 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 catastrophe fifty years ago.
Speaking of Shui Linglong, this woman has the strongest personality and only serves the sect. 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 he successfully rescued several fellow disciples, he himself died due to his serious injuries.
After hearing what happened to Shui Linglong, Liang Yan could only sigh softly. Recalling his experience with this woman in the small secret realm, this kind of behavior did seem like what she would do. .
To this day, Liang Yan has been practicing Taoism, and the biggest principle he has adhered to is "being wise and protecting oneself". Most of the time, when faced with disputes, he did not want to get involved in them, because he was afraid of getting into trouble.
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 practiced for thousands of years. He still has warm blood in his body, and occasionally there is When you are "in a fit of rage".
For example, when Gui Si was forcibly sealed, or how he and Dui caused trouble in Huangshi Mountain due to his cultivation in the Juyuan Realm, all of these were matters of a narrow escape.
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 all the Yuanshi Grass, Celestial Silkworm Secret Sand and Poisonous Dragon Ghost Eggs he needed, and every All materials are very sufficient, fully sufficient for his eighty sword refining needs.
"The head master is interested."
Liang Yan sat cross-legged in the cave, took out all the materials on his body and took inventory, and finally nodded, somewhat He said to himself: "Now everything is ready, all that's left is the 'Golden Phoenix Dew'. This time the Beihai Demon Clan Our group is bound to get this treasure!"
That night, Liang Yan left his "Danyang Peak" and came to Yu Xuanji's "Guanyu Hall" to fight with his master. After saying hello, he took Li Xiaosong down Yungang Mountain and galloped 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 entire 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. Lived a very miserable 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 enough to rival the country. Because of this rumor that comes from nowhere, there are often young people in Panlong Town who go deep into the desert in small groups. to explore.
However, most of these adventurous people never return. Only a handful of lucky people make it back alive from the desert, and the scenes they describe vary wildly.
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 is also a man named "Raizan" who claims to have walked to the end of the desert. After coming back, he went crazy. He told everyone he saw the ultimate of all things there, the world. the end of.
Of course, no one in Panlong Town will believe what he said. At most, it is just used as a conversation piece after dinner. People here have lived here for generations, and most of them are down-to-earth and diligent. Living on the ground, I have long been 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 young man with a horse face in a Confucian robe. The two were drinking and making love. Poetry seems to be a very enjoyable conversation.
"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 is sparsely populated, and there are not many tourists coming and going. In the hotel, these two guests are the only ones drinking. After hearing this, the shopkeeper poked his head out from behind the counter, stretched and then said slowly:
< br>"Impossible, how can there be anything" "The Ultimate", Na Laisan was an orphan. He was bullied by his peers in the town when he was a child. His brain was not normal for a long time. After entering the desert, he went completely crazy. As for the "City in the Sand", he had these fantasies. , it’s nothing more than a mirage.”
"Haha."
The horse-faced man smiled slightly and was noncommittal to 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? This Is 'Raisan' 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, good point!”
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 speaking, he also pressed the glass with one palm. On the table, I tapped my fingers on the table casually.
The man in gray smiled slightly when he saw this, and also put one palm on the table, while the other hand picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
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 an expression on his face that said, “Sure enough, that’s true.”
"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 have a drink and have fun 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, only to find that his store was already filled with people. It was empty, and the man in gray clothes and the horse-faced young man who were drinking had all disappeared.
Only on their wine table was a large gold ingot.
"Oh, I gave you too much! I gave you too much! You can buy my entire restaurant with this money!"
The shopkeeper shouted and took the gold ingots on the table. He was about to chase him out the door, but he had just taken a few steps when he heard a "boom!" and all the tables and chairs in his restaurant were turned into powder at the same time.
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 practitioner. Since he came here, he must be here for the once-in-a-hundred-year exchange meeting of the Beihai Demon Clan, 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 the in-law of "Old Monster Yang Yan", might also attend. .
Although Liang Yan is not afraid of Zuo Qiu Ren and others 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 the "Yuanmu Dao" spell to disguise yourself to avoid unnecessary complications.
The horse-faced man chuckled at this time and said: "Feng Jie, I am the senior disciple of Feiyun Academy. I wonder what sect Liang Daoyou is from?"
Liang Yan chuckled and said: "Say I feel a little ashamed. Liang Zhidao is not like Brother Feng. He is a true disciple of a great sect, but he is an insignificant casual cultivator."
After hearing this, Feng Jie said in awe: "You are a casual cultivator, but you can cultivate to the middle stage of Juyuan Realm. Talent and hard work are 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 Souls. Well, secular people are ignorant, how can they Imagine the vastness of the human continent? Although the 'Lazy Three' was lucky enough to witness the magnificence of the Sea of Souls, he was still regarded as a madman after he came back."
