Chapter 1241 Sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion
After carefully searching Lu Qian's memory, Liang Yan quickly determined his target.
"It turns out that Li Muzhi put all my things in the City Lord's Mansion."
He muttered to himself in his heart, and then without any hesitation, he pinched the magic formula in his hand. , turned into a ray of light and left the place where he was imprisoned, heading north of the city
Half an hour later, in the north of Guangling City, in a shop specializing in selling magic weapons, a man in Tsing Yi was playing with his hand paper fan magic weapon.
"Senior, this is the 'Haoran Treasure Fan'. It was refined by a Confucian master at the Golden Elixir stage. It is very powerful and just in line with the temperament of the senior."
The clerk in the shop said to him earnestly The man in Tsing Yi peddled this magic weapon, but the man in Tsing Yi's eyes looked a little distant, with a faint smile always on his face, making it impossible for the waiter in front of him to figure out his true thoughts.
This man in green is Liang Yan who used the "Soul Seed Technique" to occupy Lu Qian's body.
Facing the salesman's sales, Liang Yan seemed to be listening, but in fact his attention was no longer here.
He was releasing his consciousness at the moment, secretly observing an antique house not far away from a few streets away.
"What a tight guard!"
Liang Yan secretly exclaimed in his heart. Although he remained calm on the surface, a hint of worry flashed deep in his eyes.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion have now been replaced. They have all become soldiers of the Xuanyuan Army. Among them are four generals from the Tongxuan Realm, guarding the east, south, west, and north directions respectively. There is no dead space!
In addition to these four generals, there are also many patrolling Golden Core monks. Just now, I just stayed in the nearby streets for a short while, which aroused the vigilance of a group of monks.
If it weren't for Lu Qian's identity, Liang Yan might have been interrogated by the monks as a suspicious person.
As a last resort, he could only stay away from the City Lord's Mansion temporarily, use this shop to hide himself, and secretly use his spiritual consciousness to spy on the periphery of the City Lord's Mansion.
Although the City Lord's Mansion was tightly guarded, what made Liang Yan a little relieved was that he did not feel the aura of the Peach Blossom God General.
"It seems that Li Muzhi has replaced Cao Tianwei and Zhu Youqing, and now he is guarding the entire Guangling City. However, he is not here now. He is probably busy preparing for the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' "
Liang Yan thought for a moment and felt that now is the best time to get his things back. If he waits until Li Muzhi comes back, everything will be over.
But even if Li Muzhi is not here, there are still four monks in the Tongxuan realm outside the city lord's palace. Among them, the ones with the lowest cultivation level are in the middle stage of Tongxuan. With his current body, he has no chance of winning.
"It's difficult. It's impossible to break in forcefully. If you sneak in secretly, it might be difficult without the Tianji Pearl."
Liang Yan's expression remained unchanged, but his thoughts were spinning rapidly.
"Under the current situation, if you want to sneak into the city lord's palace, you may have to use Lu Qian's identity, and this Lu Qian is Xuanyuan Qi's subordinate."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan Suddenly a glance Liang, continued to think:
"By the way, according to Lu Qian's memory, Xuanyuan Haoyu is dead, Xuanyuan Lingwei has also been forced into the heavenly prison, and now the person who ascends to the position of prince is actually Xuanyuan Qi ?”
He still remembered the day when Xuanyuan Qi was tortured by the second prince in the underground palace. There was not a single piece of good flesh on his body. Later, Luo Shen used the "Soul Splitting Whip" to crack his chest. It was simply too horrible to watch.
Unexpectedly, only three days had passed, and Xuanyuan Qi had almost recovered. It must have been Xuanyuan Potian himself who rescued him.
Not only that, Xuanyuan Qi also replaced the most powerful second prince and became the new crown prince.
If he hadn’t learned all this from Lu Qian’s memory, Liang Yan would have found it hard to believe it.
“The second prince and Xuanyuan Lingwei have been fighting for decades, but they didn’t expect that both sides would lose in the end. Judging from the result, Xuanyuan Qi became the biggest winner!”
"I'm afraid there's something fishy about this matter!"
Liang Yan suddenly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. In this situation, Xuanyuan Qi can no longer be trusted. He must not be allowed to know that his soul has escaped, but You can use Lu Qian's The identity of the prince's subordinates
"Senior? Senior, what do you think?"
While Liang Yan was thinking secretly, the man who had been selling magic weapons to him suddenly raised his voice and turned his His thoughts came back again.
This man talked all the talk, but Liang Yan still didn't react at all. No matter how good his temper was, he was a little impatient at this time, but he couldn't see through Liang Yan's cultivation. , of course not showing his impatience.
"Senior, if you feel that the 'Haoran Treasure Fan' is not suitable, we have other magic weapons in the store. Why don't you take a look at the 'Xiaoyao Ruler'?"
"No." Liang Yan smiled and waved it off. He waved his hand and said: "This 'Haoran Treasure Fan' is quite good. I want this."
Seeing that he finally decided to buy this magic weapon, the guy immediately beamed with joy and said all kinds of flattery. out.
Liang Yan waited for him to flatter him enough, smiled slightly, threw a bag of spirit stones on the table, and asked seemingly casually:
"By the way, your Chamber of Commerce is here Near the City Lord’s Mansion, do you know where the Peach Blossom God is going?”
"Peach Blossom God General?"
The guy was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Senior, you are asking the right person. This Peach Blossom God General Li Muzhi has now replaced City Lord Zhu and become the agent of Guangling City. City Lord. The 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' is about to be held. The Peach Blossom God General summoned the presidents of all the chambers of commerce in the city to discuss the conference in the 'Peach Blossom Studio'. Details. No, even the president of our chamber of commerce has gone. It seems that it is impossible to arrange everything in just three to five days."
This guy probably took action when he saw Liang Yan. He is generous and in a happy mood, or he may be a chatterbox himself. He reveals all the details he knows in one breath, saving the effort of talking in clichés.
“That’s it.”
Liang Yan nodded, very satisfied with the news.
Since Li Muzhi won't be able to come back for the time being, he has greater confidence.
After putting away the "Haoran Treasure Fan", Liang Yan pretended to look around in the store again, chatted with the waiter for half a cup of tea, and then walked out of the store leisurely.
This time, he did not hesitate and walked directly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
The east, south, west and north of the city lord's mansion were each guarded by a general from the Tongxuan Realm. Liang Yan could not sneak in quietly, but he was now Lu Qian's identity, so he did not shy away from it and swaggered directly to the south. Go to the main entrance.
The person guarding the south gate is a yellow-faced man wearing armor. This man is tall and muscular. He looks like a bodybuilder.
"Stop!"
Before Liang Yan could get closer, the city guard general stopped him from a distance.
"Who is here, and why are they so close to the city lord's palace?"
Liang Yan had already prepared, so he took his time and said with a smile, "I'm Lu Qian, the prince's subordinates are joining the army!"
“It turns out It's Fellow Daoist Lu!" When the yellow-faced man heard that he was the prince's subordinate, his expression immediately changed from gloomy to bright, and he laughed and said, "I've heard about Fellow Daoist's name for a long time. Now that the fourth prince has been established as the prince, Fellow Daoist has become very prosperous! ”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression did not change, he just smiled slightly.
By searching Lu Qian's memory, he vaguely knew that this person's name was Wang Zhongyuan, and he was a powerful general under Li Muzhi. His cultivation had reached the late stage of Tongxuan and was very difficult to deal with.
"General Wang is joking. I have a shallow cultivation and am just an errand boy beside the prince. How can I compare with the majesty of the general?" Liang Yanke said politely.
After hearing this, the yellow-faced man laughed and waved his hands quickly: "I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it!"
Although he said he didn't dare to take it seriously, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of smiles. It was obvious that Liang Yan's flattery just now was very useful to him.
After laughing for a while, Wang Zhongyuan squinted his eyes again and asked: "By the way, Fellow Daoist Lu suddenly came to our city lord's mansion. Is there something important?"
"I'm here to serve you. I came here specifically to get the defense map of Guangling City on the orders of the prince," Liang Yan said calmly.
"Defense plan?"
Wang Zhongyuan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "His Majesty did order the prince to assist in the preparation of the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference', but this Our Xuanyuan Army has always been responsible for the defense of Guangling City. Why do we suddenly ask for the defense map today?”
"General Wang, you also know that His Royal Highness has just become the Crown Prince. He needs to gradually become familiar with many things. This time assisting in the preparation of the 'Wentai Treasure Fighting Conference' was originally an exercise for the Crown Prince. Of course His Royal Highness does not willing to sit I enjoy the success and want to contribute to this conference."
Liang Yan combined Lu Qian's memories and created an image of a hard-working prince. It's gibberish, but it sounds decent.
After hearing this, Wang Zhongyuan nodded thoughtfully, seeming to agree with Liang Yan's statement.
"I see. Since it is the prince's wish, the general has no choice but to comply. Let's do this. I will ask Manager Lu to take you to get the defense map."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhongyuan came from He took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, spoke a few words into it, and then burned it in mid-air.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a white face and a smile on his face walked out of the courtyard.
"This is Guanshi Lu. Now he is in charge of the city lord's palace. When fellow Taoists come to get the defense map, just follow him." Wang Zhongyuan said with a smile.
"I'm in Xia Lu Sheng, and I've met fellow Daoist Lu." The middle-aged man stepped forward, smiled and cupped his hands.
"Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!" Liang Yan hurriedly returned the gift.
Although Lu Sheng looked smiling and affable, his cultivation was in the early stages of Tongxuan. With Liang Yan’s status as "Lu Qian", he naturally did not dare to offend.
The two of them exchanged simple polite greetings, and without any delay, led by Lu Sheng, they entered the city lord's mansion one after the other.
Liang Yan followed Lu Sheng and walked deep into the city lord's palace for a while. A strange feeling began to appear in his heart, which was a feeling of connection between mind and heart.
"Sure enough, we are here!"
Of course Liang Yan understood what this feeling meant, and was ecstatic in his heart, but he did not dare to show any abnormalities on the surface, and still followed Lu Sheng, heading towards Walk deep into the city lord's mansion.
After about half a cup of tea, the two of them arrived at the bottom of a tower.
"This is the City Lord's treasure house. It was previously in charge of City Lord Zhu. It was just taken over by Peach Blossom God General a few days ago. Fellow Daoist Lu's defense plan is on the first floor of the tower."
Lu Sheng stood in the tower. At the door, Liang Yan was briefly introduced.
It could be seen that this man's expression was a bit complicated. Liang Yan guessed that he might be a monk from the former city lord's palace. Perhaps Li Muzhi saw that he was familiar with this place, so he kept him as a housekeeper.
"Haha, since we have arrived, without further ado, let's go get the defense map." Liang Yan urged from the side.
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng nodded, took out a yellow token from his sleeve, and threw it into the air.
The token emitted a bright glow, turned into a rainbow, and instantly disappeared into the treasure house's door. The earth-yellow spiritual light circulated uncertainly on the door. A moment later, a "bang" was heard, and the treasure house's door Open slowly.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please follow me.”
Lu Sheng led Liang Yan into the treasure house and saw a hundred-foot-square hall with nine rows of wooden shelves. , hundreds of wooden boxes are placed on each wooden shelf.
However, Liang Yan was not interested in these wooden boxes at all. At this moment, his telepathy became stronger and stronger, proving that Lao Jin, Li Xiaosong, and Xiao Jiu were all in this tower. !
Liang Yan glanced around and quickly determined that the source of the telepathy was not on this floor, but seemed to be on the upper floors of the tower.
He had a feeling that Xiao Jiu and Lao Jin must have sensed him, but Taixu Gourd seemed to be sealed by something and was temporarily unable to respond to him.
While he was thinking secretly, suddenly, without any warning, there was a stinging pain in his consciousness, and then an evil spirit rushed straight from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
“Not good!”
Liang Yan immediately realized that this was the demonic energy entangled in his soul, and it was about to start to attack!
Ever since he unsealed the demonic vortex outside Guangling City, his soul had been eroded by demonic nature. Later, in order to lift the restriction planted by Li Muzhi in his body, he further relied on the power of the demonic vortex, resulting in the complete fusion of soul and demonic nature. This is the current situation.
"Damn it, the attack time is getting shorter and shorter. Why is it at this time?"
Liang Yan cursed in his heart, but at this time he couldn't help thinking too much, and the evil energy was flowing in his body. Rushing to the top of his head, the body that originally fell into the ice cellar felt like it was being burned by fire.
"Harsh." A low and strange roar came from Liang Yan's mouth.
Na Lu Sheng had already walked to the wooden frame at this time, reached out and took down a wooden box, turned his back to Liang Yan, and said with a smile: "Friend Lu, what is inside is the defense plan of Guangling City. You take it back to the prince, and don’t forget to put in a good word for Lu”
He was only halfway through his words when he suddenly heard something strange behind him. He turned around subconsciously, but his expression changed drastically. He pointed at Liang Yan and shouted:
"Fellow Taoist Lu Lu, your face!"< br>
“My face?”
Liang Yan had a strange smile on his face. His face was half black and half white, half crazy, half calm. Two completely different looks, but they appeared on the same face. superior!
