Chapter 1633: Inquire about the news
“But then again.”
Liang Yan continued leisurely: “There is indeed some skill in the concealment technique in Wuzhuang Mountain. If I am an ordinary Tongxuan The early stage monks might not be able to detect them."
"I think they have strong water energy, and they should be disciples of Narcissus Ridge." Lao Jin said in a deep voice.
"Probably." Liang Yan was a little absent-minded.
"Are you still wondering why this person would invite fellow Taoists to come and watch him when he was going through a tribulation?" Lao Jin asked.
"That's right."
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "When things go wrong, there must be a monster. I don't believe that someone would be so generous. Could it be that he wants to be with Tao?" Sharing experiences with friends and putting oneself in danger?"
Lao Jin was also puzzled and shook his head: " I also can’t understand that other monks are afraid of being spied on when they are going through the tribulation, but this person did the opposite. Not only did he not block the news, but he also made a big fanfare and sent out invitations widely. He was simply desperate for his life. "
< br>The two were silent for a while, and Lao Jin asked: "What should we do now?"
Liang Yan thought for a while and said: "We must go into Wuzhuang Mountain. Nowadays, there is a mixture of fish and dragons here, and there are many monks. It is a good opportunity for us to fish in troubled waters. Now let's go to the nearby towns to inquire about the news. After figuring out the situation here, Let’s make the next step.”
“Okay.”
Lao Jin nodded.
He remembered that he passed several monk towns on his way here, and the closest one was about six hundred miles to the southwest.
So, Lao Jin flapped his wings, adjusted his direction, and flew toward the southwest
It didn't take long for the two of them to see the town ahead.
The town is not large in size. Liang Yan used his spiritual consciousness to check and roughly estimated that there were five to six hundred people. Most of them were monks in Juyuan Realm and Jindan Realm, but there were also a few Tongxuan Zhenjun. It seemed that there were It should be mostly casual cultivators.
As he approached the town, Liang Yan stopped flying and put Lao Jin back into the Taixu Gourd. He pressed the escape light, transformed into an ordinary casual cultivator, and flew towards the city gate.
The towns at the foot of the mountain were all temporarily built. The monks who settled here came from all over the Antarctic Fairy Continent, including the four orthodox sects and the heretical ones.
Therefore, the management of these towns is also very lax, with only a few disciples from Wuzhuang Mountain stationed symbolically at the city gates.
They neither interrogate the monks entering the city nor maintain order in the city. As long as they do not cause too much commotion here, even if there are occasional disputes and frictions, they will turn a blind eye and let these outside monks rely on their own efforts. Strength resolves conflicts.
Liang Yan entered the city without any obstruction.
After he entered the city, he used his spiritual consciousness to observe secretly for a moment, and quickly located a place where monks gathered.
It was a restaurant with an endless stream of monks coming and going. These people either exchanged information here or chatted about all kinds of things, many of which were related to Wuzhuang Mountain.
Liang Yan stopped for a moment, walked towards the restaurant, and arrived outside the door soon.
The first floor is the lobby. Most of the people drinking here are monks in the foundation building stage, and the chats are related to their own cultivation. For example, some people have just broken through the realm and can’t wait to come out to make friends and guests, trying to learn some methods about subsequent cultivation.
Liang Yan was not interested in this. He pondered for a moment and then turned around and went up to the second floor.
The second floor is the private room. Most of the monks drinking here have the cultivation of Juyuan Realm, and they are all close friends. They have a drink here, chat, or exchange experiences. .
Liang Yan listened attentively for a while, then walked straight to the end of the corridor and pushed open the innermost private room.
The door was pushed open, and there were three monks inside. On the left was a frail scholar, in the middle sat a fat-headed middle-aged man, and on the right was a short man with a beard.
Seeing Liang Yan come in, all three of them were shocked.
"Who are you? Why did you come in without telling me?" The middle-aged man stood up suddenly.
But soon, his eyes widened, his face turned pale, he was sweating profusely, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Sit down."
Liang Yan said lightly, walked into the room, and closed the door behind his back.
The fat on the middle-aged man's face twitched a few times, and he sat down very obediently, not daring to make any sound.
The two people beside him did the same, looking at Liang Yan with horror in their eyes.
Just now, the moment Liang Yan opened the door, a powerful aura poured into the room, covering everyone.
In the eyes of the three of them, the man coming from outside the door was like a god, and he was just an ant under his feet, with no ability to resist at all.
Therefore, the three of them did not dare to speak and remained silent in front of Liang Yan.
"Everyone, please introduce yourselves first." Liang Yan sat down at the wine table and said calmly.
The three of them were silent for a moment. The fat man was the first to react and said loudly: "My king is virtuous!"
"Scholar Li Fuzhi." The young scholar cupped his hands.
"I am. I am Zhao Chengen." The last wretched man stuttered in his answer.
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly and said, "I just heard you talking about the 'Canglong' in Wuzhuang Mountain. It seems that you know a lot about him?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people present immediately changed.
Among them, Wang Youde said with a sad face: "Senior, we are just a few small characters in the Jindan realm, how can we dare to judge Ya Sheng? What I just said was just talking nonsense, and there is absolutely no disrespect to Wuzhuang Mountain. You can just take it as such. we are Damn it, just let us go.”
These people didn’t understand the situation, thinking that Liang Yan was some big shot on Wuzhuang Mountain. When they passed by and heard their conversation just now, they felt something in their hearts. They were dissatisfied, so they came to bring bad luck to them.
Liang Yan knew their thoughts clearly. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I am not a monk from Wuzhuang Mountain, but a casual cultivator passing by here. I am very interested in the 'Canglong' to overcome the tribulation." I'm very interested. Can you tell me more about it?"
After saying these words, Wang Youde's face calmed down a little. He, Li Fuzhi and Zhao Chengen looked at each other, both of them wanting to speak. The appearance of stopping again.
"Don't be nervous."
Liang Yan knocked on the table with his hand and said with a smile: "This room has been restricted by me. No one can eavesdrop on our conversation, so you can speak freely. If the answer satisfies me, there will be a lot of rewards, but if there is any deception, haha"
Although he did not finish what he said later, the three people present still didn't understand. If he deceived this person, , I’m afraid no one can leave this room today. Wang Youde exchanged glances with the other two, and finally nodded and said:
"Senior, whatever you want to know, we will tell you everything!"
< br>
"Okay!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly and asked: "I just searched the entire restaurant, and you are the only ones here talking. You seem to know a lot about Wuzhuang Mountain. I am a little curious, why? Are you guys better informed than others?"
"It seems that the seniors heard the conversation between the three of us just now."
Wang Youde smiled bitterly and replied: "It's true. , the three of us are more or less There is some connection with Wuzhuang Mountain, for example, Daoyou Zhao, he is a distant bloodline of an elder in Wuzhuang Mountain; and Daoyou Li's cousin was accepted as an inner disciple by Wuzhuang Mountain three hundred years ago; as for Wang, so to speak. Ashamed, I once I was engaged to a female disciple in Wuzhuang Mountain. Although the engagement was later broken off, the female disciple also felt guilty about me, so she often gave me some benefits."
"That's it. ”
After hearing Wang Youde's explanation, Liang Yan chuckled and said, "In that case, you can be considered half of the disciples of Wuzhuang Mountain. I have something unclear and would like to ask you for advice."
Wang Youde and others were very frightened. Almost at the same time, he stood up and bowed to salute.
"Senior, I want to ask why I need to ask for advice. It really offends us!"
The smile on Liang Yan's face did not change and he said slowly: "Since ancient times, people who have overcome tribulations have always hidden themselves, for fear of Known by others. Why is this Qingmuya's 'Canglong' different? Not only does he not block the news, but he also invites others to watch his tribulation? "
"Senior doesn't know anything."
Wang Youde lowered his voice and replied: "Although the old Taoist Canglong has great skills, he actually does not have the confidence to survive his 'third disaster'. After all, this is the last disaster before becoming a saint. It is said that 'ten deaths lead to no life.'" 'It's not an exaggeration. The outcome of failure in overcoming the tribulation must be death. In order to prevent his thousand-year cultivation from being destroyed in one day, 'Cang Long' I specially invite Taoist friends to come to Wuzhuang Mountain to help him."
"Wang Youde"
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You think I am. Is there any reason to help a monk in the Transformation Tribulation Realm to overcome the calamity? "
Pfft!
Wang Youde was frightened by the aura on his body, his breath was stuck in his throat, his knees were weak, and he knelt down directly on the ground.
"Senior Mingjian, you are wrong to blame Brother Youde."
The scholar Li Fuzhi on the side stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said: "'Canglong' Taoist priest invites fellow Taoists to come, it's not... I want to help him overcome the tribulation, but to add a layer of protection for himself. If he fails to overcome the tribulation, all the powerful seniors will take action together to save the last trace of his true spirit."
"Yes. ."
Wang Youde also regained his breath at this time and said anxiously: "That's what Wang means. Senior Canglong acts cautiously and likes to leave a way out for himself. Although he did this, he committed a crime. It’s a taboo against robbery, but at least it has an extra layer of protection. If it fails, there is a possibility of a comeback in the future.”
After hearing the answers from the two men, Liang Yan’s expression softened slightly.
"What do you mean, these powerful monks who were invited by the invitation are all here to help Canglong?"
"You can say that." The three of them responded at the same time.
Liang Yan didn't speak any more, thinking secretly in his heart.
As far as he knew, there was no trick for monks to overcome the tribulation, and failure to overcome the tribulation would almost certainly lead to death.
Of course, there are no absolutes in this world, and there are also some special sect secrets that can save lives after failure to overcome the tribulation.
For example, Luo Tianshan's 'Method of Reincarnation' can use a chance to be reincarnated to avoid the punishment of 'three disasters and nine disasters'. Liang Yan once met this person during the selection examination for Wushuang City's disciples.
However, this method can only be used once, and it requires reincarnation to practice again and experience the "three disasters and nine disasters" again. And if the disaster fails this time, there will be no chance of reincarnation.
In addition to the "method of reversing calamity", Liang Yan heard that there is also a special method in Wanshou Mountain, which can also play a similar role, but this method has not been spread, and there are not many in Wushuang City. record.
After being silent for a long time, Liang Yan slowly spoke again: "Since 'Cang Long' did this, he must have a special method that can leave him a glimmer of hope when he fails to overcome the tribulation?"
The three people in the room looked at each other, and Zhao Chengen replied: "No. Yes, I once heard it from the elders of the family by chance. It is said that there is a strange formation in Wuzhuang Mountain that can preserve the true spirit that has failed to overcome the tribulation. Of course, the consumption of this formation is also immeasurable, and the cost of the formation is immeasurable. The greater the difficulty of the tribulation, the higher the strength requirements for the people in the main formation.”
"The person who leads the formation." Liang Yan frowned and asked, "Isn't the mountain owner of Wuzhuang Mountain a saint? It's enough for him to lead the formation alone. Why do we need to invite so many outsiders?"
“Senior, I don’t know something.” Zhao Chengen shook his head and said, “The owner of Wuzhuang Mountain has been missing for many years. Years ago, Taoist Priest Canglong has been in charge of all affairs of the sect. If he succeeds in overcoming the tribulation this time, he should be the next mountain master of Wuzhuang Mountain."
"The old mountain master is missing. "?"
Liang Yan murmured to himself, suddenly feeling that this situation seemed familiar.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that the same is true for Yongye City.
The old city lord disappeared and the new city lord took over. However, there are no two sub-sages in Wuzhuang Mountain. The old Taoist family of 'Canglong' is the only one. As long as he can successfully overcome the tribulation, he will definitely be the next mountain lord.
But in this way, it makes sense for ‘Canglong’ to invite Taoist friends.
Because he is a sub-sage cultivator and is going through the calamity of heaven. There are not enough monks in the calamity realm on Wuzhuang Mountain, so he invites all kinds of powerful people to help him preside over it. Formation.
As for how he promises huge profits and how to guard against those villains with evil intentions, it is not something outsiders like them can know.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Yan asked again:
"Who did 'Cang Long' invite?"
"Senior, we just heard about it and don't know much. It seems that people from Luotian Mountain, Yuzhu Mountain, and Tianmo Mountain are here. As for the ongoing battle, No one in Wushuang City and Six Major Cities was invited,” Zhao Chengen recalled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fuzhi added: "I heard my cousin say accidentally that the monks who can receive the invitation are extraordinary, at least they are all in the realm of catastrophe and above. Without such cultivation, it is impossible to control the formation and save the true spirit of 'Cang Long' from the hands of Heaven."
"Transformation of calamity and beyond!" >Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a light flashed in his eyes.
It seems that this grand event in Wuzhuang Mountain is not ordinary
