Chapter 1592: Hosting a Banquet (Additional update for the Silver Alliance Leader, The Cat on Xianyu Street!)
Although Lu Zizhen asked the disciples of Yixing Pavilion to keep silent about Liang Yan’s arrival at Yixing Pavilion, due to the number of people present at the time There were too many. In addition to the disciples of Yixing Pavilion, there were also monks from various sects in the Zhao Kingdom. Of course, this matter could not be concealed.
Two days later, Yan State, Piao Miao Valley.
In a quiet courtyard, a short old man wearing a Confucian robe and a goatee was lying leisurely on a deck chair.
He was playing with a few pieces of tortoise shell in his hand. Although he looked a little lazy on the surface, a glint flashed in his eyes from time to time.
At this moment, at the entrance of the cave, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and a moment later, a figure appeared out of thin air.
This person is actually a seven-year-old child, with red lips and white teeth, and pink and jade-carved limbs. At first glance, he looks quite cute, but if you take a closer look, you will find that his eyes are very evil, as if It has the power to seize souls!
As soon as he appeared, the child raised his eyebrows and said impatiently: "Friend Wen, why are you so anxious? I am still in seclusion, but you sent three secret messages in succession. Do you have to come to see you?”
It turns out that the old man lying on the recliner is none other than Grand Master Wen, the number one person in the world of cultivation in Nanchui today!
Wen Taishi waved the folding fan gently in his hand, with a leisurely look, and said with a smile: "Brother Scorpion, you have been in seclusion these years, and you should have reached the ninth level of "Scorpio Magic Skill" soon. Right? I’m afraid that in a few years, Brother Scorpion will have a chance to break through the bottleneck in the late Tongxuan period.”
Although he looked smiling, his words had profound meaning.
The Scorpion Boy's eyes flashed, and the displeasure he had just disappeared instantly, and turned into a smiling face, saying: "I heard that fellow Taoist has given me an award. The "Scorpio Demonic Art" is so difficult to practice. The ninth level is far away. What's more, breaking through the bottleneck does not rely on just one discipline. Kung Fu, chance, magic weapon, elixir, and state of mind are all indispensable. Even if I have this qualification for another two hundred years, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through."
He said this very modestly. But Master Wen didn't seem to believe it. He just smiled with a noncommittal expression.
After a while, Master Wen said leisurely: "Friend Scorpion, speaking of which, we haven't talked about the past for a long time. Since we are here today, why don't you sit with me, an old man?"
“Since I heard that my fellow Taoist has such a refined spirit, I should accompany you.”
The Scorpion boy cupped his hands and sat down opposite Master Wen.
The two were separated by a stone table, and Grand Master Wen casually took out a pot of spiritual tea and brewed it for each of them.
“Fellow Taoist Demon Scorpion, there is a rumor recently. Have you heard about it?”
“Oh? I just came out of seclusion. I don’t know what the rumor is, but it actually alarmed Taoist Wen. ?”
“I heard that an old friend came to Yixing Pavilion”
"Old friend? From Yixing Pavilion?"
The Scorpion Boy was slightly startled, rolled his eyes a few times, and suddenly said in shock: "Could it be him!"
"Yes, it's him! "
Master Wen nodded, as if there was no need to say more about this "he", both of them knew it well.
“I didn’t expect that he was not dead.” The Scorpion Boy murmured.
"The first thing he did when he returned to Nanchui was to kill Tang Caihuan and reorganize Yixing Pavilion." Master Wen said leisurely while sipping tea.
"Did Tang Caihuan die in his hands?"
The Scorpion Boy was slightly surprised.
You must know that Tang Caihuan was a monk in the early stage of Tongxuan, and Liang Yan was only in the early stage of Jindan when he left. In a mere two hundred years, has this person grown up to be the True Lord Tongxuan?
“Actually, there’s nothing strange about it.”
Grand Master Wen smiled slightly and said: "You have forgotten that back then he killed Taoist Hongyu with his cultivation in the Golden Core Realm. If it hadn't been for that battle, how could we have annexed the Qianyuan Holy Palace? Without the Qianyuan Holy Palace With so many resources, how can you and I practice so fast?”< br>
"That's right." The Scorpion Boy nodded and said: "This boy is a sword cultivator, and he is indeed capable of killing enemies beyond the ranks. Back then, he killed Mr. Hong Yu, but now Tang Caihuan has been You and I deceived and became a walking corpse, and he It’s not surprising to kill him.”
“The problem now is that after he kills Tang Caihuan, his next target should be you and me.”
“Want to kill us? ”
Scorpion Boy Zi sneered and said: "Then he is too arrogant! He dares to come back for revenge in just two hundred years. In this time, even if he has any chance, he can cultivate to the early stage of Tongxuan at most, how can it be for you and me? Opponent? ”
"That's not what you said."
Master Wen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "This boy is not an ordinary person. With his early cultivation of Jindan, he was able to cross the ranks and kill Taoist Hong Yu. Now he has returned Nan Chui's strength is even more unfathomable. We can't underestimate the enemy in the slightest."
"That's different. Taoist Hongyu didn't know that he had Jianwan at the time, and he was killed by surprise. , otherwise with his initial strength of the Golden Core, how could he kill Hong Yu? Moreover, two hundred years have passed, and the cultivation of the two of us has also improved by leaps and bounds. Coupled with the treasure we found overseas that day, this boy named Liang? Even if you have ten lives, you can't beat us! ""Haha."
Master Wen smiled slightly and did not seem to deny the Scorpion Boy's opinion.
However, he was cautious, cunning and suspicious by nature. At this time, he slowly said: "Friend Demon Scorpion, be careful about sailing the ten thousand year ship. Have you ever thought about what would happen if this guy named Liang didn't come to us directly, but rushed to Yungang Sect, what should we do if we unite with the old thief Yuan Ya? ?”
“This”
The Scorpion Boy was stunned for a moment and nodded: “Yes, he is a disciple of the Yungang Sect, and it is very likely that he will join forces with the Yuanya Sect. Over the years, we have kept a low profile and bowed to us on the surface, but secretly affirmed our We were waiting for an opportunity. Originally, as long as Tang Caihuan died, we could take action against the Yungang Sect, but we didn't expect that this boy named Liang not only survived, but also returned to Nanchui, which added a few variables."
< br>Speaking of this, the Scorpion boy’s eyes lit up. In a flash, he looked at Master Wen and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Wen, why bother beating around the bush? Since you called me here, you must have a good plan in mind, right? How should this matter be handled? Please give me some advice from Daoist Wen." ”
“Haha.”
Grand Master Wen touched his chin, smiled slightly and said: "It's actually quite simple. This little thief named Liang has learned the art of sword cultivation. His cultivation has advanced rapidly, and he has achieved success at a young age. He must be arrogant now. We might as well give him a Let him take the initiative to come to us and arrange a 'decapitation banquet' for him before Yuan Ya Lao Dao comes out of the mountain, so that his disciple will die on the way."
Scorpion Boy. After hearing this, eyebrow He wrinkled his head slightly and said slowly: "This is indeed a method, but the man named Liang is not a fool. Even if he is a little arrogant, he cannot come to the appointment alone."
"So. , we have to provoke him!"
"Oh? How?"
"Remember Tang Diexian?" A sly smile appeared on the corner of Master Wen's mouth. .
The Scorpion Boy was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Of course I remember, this girl is extremely talented and was designed to get rid of her two years ago. I remember that she was seriously injured by your disciples at that time, and her injuries were serious after she escaped back to Yixing Pavilion. aggravate, most He died in depression."
"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth."
Master Wen said sadly: "That little girl was killed by one of my disciples when she was under siege. cut off I lost an arm, and I still have it. When the time comes, I will write a letter to the boy named Liang and give him the arm, saying that I am deeply sorry for Tang Diexian’s death and that I will hold a banquet to apologize. He came to Banquet."
The Scorpion Boy was slightly shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself:
"This old fox is so vicious when he kills people."
Although he was thinking this in his heart, he made a look of realization on the surface, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Great! Fellow Taoist Wen, this move is really clever! Liang Yan and Tang Diexian were also a pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks back then, but now two hundred years later In the past, when I came back and saw that my sweetheart was dead, how could I remain calm?"
"Hehe? ."
A proud smile appeared on Master Wen's face, and he slowly said: "In order to prevent this little thief from becoming suspicious, I will come forward alone when the time comes, and my Taoist friend will hide in the dark. As for the venue of the banquet, it can’t be set at our sect, let’s hold it at ‘Qidou Peak’!”
“ Qidou Peak?" The Scorpion Boy pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, it is the junction of Zhao State and Yan State, and it is not easy to arouse his suspicion. Moreover, this place is the gathering place of seven spiritual veins, so it is easy to hide. Murderous aura is an excellent place to set up an ambush."
Master Wen said again: "Then again, Liang Yan. His sword cultivation method is indeed powerful. After so many years, I don't know how far his strength has reached. In order to prevent accidents, you and I will bring the entire sect's disciples and set up the 'World Killing Array'. It's up to you. The two of us personally presided over it, and we will kill him at the 'Seven Dou Peak' no matter what!"
After hearing this, the Scorpion Boy was slightly startled and said: "Isn't this too much of a fuss? Bring all the disciples of the sect? And also set up the 'World Killing Formation'? Doesn't that mean we have to use the weapons we obtained from overseas?" Those two treasures?”
“What do you know!”
Master Wen snorted coldly and said lightly: "Since we are going to do something, we must make it foolproof. Two hundred years ago, we let him run away. Since he dares to come back this time, we will let him fly without wings!" "
Zhao Guo, Yixing Pavilion, on Cangmu Peak.
A man in gray clothes sat on the ground.
In front of him, there was a solitary grave about three feet high. Around the solitary grave, several empty wine gourds were lying in random directions.
The man drank all his wine, flicked his right hand, and dropped the last chess piece on the chessboard.
“This game of chess is over.”
With a gentle sigh, the man stood up from the ground.
Looking at the tombstone one last time, the man pinched the magic formula in his hand and turned into a gray ray of light rising into the sky, leaving Cangmu Peak in an instant.
Not long after, the bell of Yixing Pavilion Patriarch's Ancestral Hall rang.
Seven long bells echoed in the valley.
