Chapter 954 Searching for Mountains
At this time, Liang Yan was transforming into a gray ray of light. While observing the surrounding mountains and landforms, he was calculating the direction of the place he was looking for.
"Tenglong Mountain."
This is the place told by the afterimage in the portrait in King Cheng's tomb. It is said that the Liu family's old house was built in this mountain range.
It’s just that Liu Hongcheng has been dead for many years, and the afterimage in the portrait is also a candle in the wind, and the things that happened thousands of years ago are somewhat blurry. In addition, after so many years, it is still a question whether Tenglong Mountain still exists, let alone finding its location accurately.
Liang Yan didn't have any good solution for this. He could only be patient and spread his consciousness to the limit while slowly looking for his target.
At this moment, Liang Yan suddenly frowned and looked down involuntarily. He saw a small village ten miles away from where he was.
"Strange, how could there be a hidden resentment in this small village!"
Liang Yan was confused and couldn't help but stop the light escape and landed near the village.
Actually, along the way, he often went to villages or towns along the way to inquire about information, but this was the first time he encountered such a village with so much resentment.
With a trace of doubt, Liang Yan followed the road outside the village and walked into the village.
This village is not big, with only a few hundred households in total. Most of the doors are closed at the moment. Occasionally, there are a few villagers wandering on the roadside, but most of them have distracted eyes and look like they are in a daze.
Liang Yan has a lot of cultivation, so he can naturally see that these people are not really demented, but are suffering from mental breakdown because they have suffered too much of a blow and cannot bear it.
If it were one or two like this, it would be okay, but there are many such people in the village now, which can only mean that this place has experienced a big change.
Just when he was a little confused and was about to go up to find someone to ask, the gate of a house next to the road slowly opened.
Liang Yan turned around and saw an old man with gray hair walking out of the yard shakily, leaning on a cane.
"Young man, you are not from our village, are you?" The old man looked at Liang Yan up and down with suspicious eyes.
"Yes, my surname is Liang. I passed by here and wanted to ask for a drink of water." Liang Yan politely cupped his hand.
The old man nodded, turned his somewhat hunched body and walked towards the house, while saying lightly:
"Come in."
Liang Yan did not hesitate and followed the old man into the wooden house.
When he got inside, he found a small hall with very simple furniture. The old man was not polite to him. He just casually pulled a bench for him to sit down, and then went to the table to pour it for him. Water.
"Old man, are you the village chief here?" Liang Yan suddenly asked.
The old man's figure trembled slightly, as if he was a little excited, but he soon calmed down, and simply replied: "Young man has really good eyesight, and you can see it now. Yes, old man He is the head of Pingyang Village. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Li."
"Does Uncle Li know if there is a mountain near here called 'Tenglong Mountain'?"< br>
As soon as the three words "Tenglong Mountain" were spoken, the old man's hand that was pouring tea trembled. There were only a few "ping pong" sounds, and the white porcelain tea set shattered on the floor. Liang Yan narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and suddenly felt a little excited.
He visited dozens of villages and towns along the way, but none of them knew the place "Tenglong Mountain". The old man's reaction just now was obviously a little strange, extremely It's possible to know something.
"Uncle Li, are you okay?" Liang Yan asked with concern.
"No, no. As we get older, our hands and feet are less flexible." The old man sighed, took another tea cup from the side, and poured a full cup of water this time, and then asked: " Young man, what are you doing with Tenglong Mountain?”
"It's nothing, it's just that my ancestors once stayed in this mountain. Now that they are visiting their old place again, they want to pay homage." Liang Yan laughed.
The old man put the cup filled with tea in front of Liang Yan, then sighed and said: "Young man, listen to my advice, don't look for Tenglong Mountain. After drinking this cup of tea, you will Where are you going?”
“Why did Li Bo say this?”
Liang Yan reached out to take the tea cup and asked with a puzzled expression: "Although I have never been to Tenglong Mountain, my ancestors once said that it has beautiful mountains and clear waters and beautiful scenery. It is a rare fairy mountain treasure land. There should be no danger.”
“Fairy Mountain?”
There was a trace of mockery on the old man's face, and he shook his head and said: "Hundreds of years ago, that place might have been a fairy mountain, but now, it has become a complete monster mountain."
Liang Yan Hearing this, he frowned slightly and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Li, how can you say this?"
"Alas"
The old man sighed and said: "You don't know something. Nateng a hundred years ago A monster came up on Longshan Mountain, which could swallow clouds and spit out mist and transform into black wind. He called himself the Black Wind Old Monster. This old monster built a cave in the mountain and changed the name of Tenglong Mountain. It is now called Black Wind Mountain. "
“Nowadays, the young people in the village only know about Heifeng Mountain, but they don’t know about Tenglong Mountain. That is to say, as the village chief, I have read some village records carefully, and then I understand the whole story.”
"Monster?" Liang Yan heard something in his heart, and suddenly said: "The resentment in this village is so heavy, is it related to this monster?"
The old man nodded sadly and said: "Yes, The old black wind demon likes to eat human flesh and blood. He did not go down the mountain himself. Instead, he enslaved a group of bandits to arrest people for him. Our Pingyang Village was just looted. After a while, many villagers were heartbroken after losing their loved ones."
"Such a thing could happen!"
Liang Yan frowned and said, "Is there no cultivator around here? How can you let a monster take human life so lightly?"
"Oh, I don't know something."
The old man sighed and said: "There was indeed a sect called 'Feihua Sect' near here before, and they often came to our village to recruit children with spiritual roots as disciples. At that time, the black wind old demon was afraid of 'Feihua Sect' Zong', dared not go down the mountain easily, and only hid in his lair to practice, and the common people like us were saved because of this."
"But not long ago, I heard that the "Feihua Sect" was involved in an incident. thing Qing offended another force in the world of cultivation, and was eventually destroyed. After learning about this, the Black Wind Old Demon no longer had any scruples, and in just a few months, he had caused harm to everyone in the vicinity. There were dozens of small villages, and all the newborn children and beautiful female relatives were kidnapped by bandits under his command to the Black Wind Mountain."
