Chapter 1645: Tit for Tat
“Haha, thank you for your hard work for coming all the way.”
Cang Long smiled in return and returned the favor.
Qin An, the sun-shooting god, stood at the front and said loudly: "Fellow Taoist Canglong has gone through two disasters and nine tribulations, and now he is about to achieve success. We all congratulate him from the bottom of my heart. I hope Canglong Taoist A friend can be better than half a son of heaven, and he can win the title of sage. Dao Fruit, gain the power of the original source, and live as long as the world from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right sleeve, and a ray of yellow light flew out of the sleeve, growing bigger in the air, and finally turned into a ray of light. Draw a halberd for Fang Tian, which is about ten feet long.
As soon as this thing appeared, a chilling air filled the palace.
At the same time, strong power surged from mid-air, as if a small mountain was hovering above the main hall. The disciples of Wuzhuang Mountain could not bear the pressure, and involuntarily gasped for air, sweating on their foreheads, and even It is also difficult to move the body.
“This is the ‘God-killing Halberd’! The city lord asked me to send it specially as a gift to congratulate fellow Taoist Canglong on becoming a saint.”
Qin An’s voice was very loud, echoing in the hall. , attracting everyone's attention.
On the cloud platform, Ji Wuchen squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The Heaven-killing Divine Halberd? I remember that this is one of the eight divine weapons in Xuanyuan City. Fellow Taoist Qin An is really a great artist. He is even willing to give this thing away! ”
"When Brother Canglong becomes a saint in the future, he must be the master of Wuzhuang Mountain. We in Xuanyuan City are willing to form an alliance with Wuzhuang Mountain forever. This 'God-killing Halberd' is just a token of our affection." Qin An said with an unchanged expression.
"Haha, fellow Taoist has said it."
Canglong shook his head and said with a smile: "Is it so easy to get through the calamity of becoming a saint? It's just because I'm not sure. Invite you all here to help me fight the battle. The Lord of Xuanyuan City will treat me like a saint now. I deserve it."
His words were vague, but Liang Yan listened. The deep meaning is revealed.
You must know that among the four people entering the palace now, there are monks from Xuanyuan City and monks who forgot to return to the city.
Nowadays, the Antarctic Fairy Continent is raging with war, and among the six major cities besieging Wushuang City, there is Wanggui City!
And Xuanyuan City's rush to help Wushuang City is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Wanggui City. The two sides have different positions and must be tit for tat.
If Canglong readily accepts Xuanyuan City's invitation, it will be equivalent to siding with Wushuang City. Doing so is equivalent to slapping Wanggui City in the face.
Old Taoist Canglong has been practicing for many years and cannot even distinguish this bit of human sophistication. He did not accept it, but he did not explicitly reject it. He just blamed everything on his own lack of strength, so he is not yet able to represent Wuzhuang Mountain. Make a choice so that neither party is offended.
After hearing this, Qin An seemed to have expected it. His expression remained unchanged and he said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Canglong, this thing is the intention of our city lord. It shows the goodwill between Xuanyuan City and Wuzhuang Mountain. Even if an alliance cannot be reached in the future, we hope that the two sides will not meet each other at war."
This Once, Canglong did not There was no refusal, but he nodded and said with a smile: "Since the words have come to this point, the old Taoist will accept it. I also ask fellow Taoist Qin to convey his gratitude to the old Taoist when he returns."
" Definitely!" Qin An said with his hands in hand.
Canglong smiled slightly and raised his hand to create a spell.
Spiritual energy rushed into the air and formed a circle around the Heaven-killing Divine Halberd. The Divine Halberd quickly shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon grew from ten feet long to seven feet long.
After shrinking, the Heaven-killing Divine Halberd was no longer as heavy as a hill. It fell from the sky and smashed into the white cloud ground of Bihaiyun Palace with a "bang!"
Several disciples from Wuzhuang Mountain immediately stepped forward and worked together to lift the God-killing Halberd out of the palace.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
"Okay."
Qin An nodded slightly, turned around and came to a high white jade platform, sitting upright in front of the table.
As soon as he took his seat, the scholar in white clothes in the crowd stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am not talented enough to return to someone. It means I forgot to return to the city. I will give you a piece of 'Thousand Life Bamboo'. Please accept it with a smile, fellow Taoist Canglong."
< br>"Qianshou Bamboo?"
A flash of light flashed in Canglong's eyes, and he said slowly: "It seems that fellow Taoist knows me very well and knows that I am in urgent need of heavenly materials and earthly treasures with the properties of Yimu. "
" Haha. "
The scholar in white shook his folding fan gently, glanced at Qin An sitting on the cloud platform, and said with a smile: "Since we are here to congratulate you, we must make some preparations. Wang Guicheng is not like some warriors who only know how to fight and kill. They know that others are about to undergo a disaster, but they still want to give some evil weapons as gifts. I don’t know what they are thinking!”
These words were so sinister that everyone present, as long as they were not fools, could hear that he was ridiculing Qin An.
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at this person carefully in the dark.
According to the announcement from the disciples outside the door, this man in white should be Gui Wuqi from Wanggui City. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Wanggui City and I don’t know this man’s cultivation realm and magical powers.
While Liang Yan was secretly observing, Xiangqin's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Looking at you, are you a little curious about his identity? Let me tell you, the name of this scholar in white is Gui Wuqi. He is the son of the city lord of Wanggui City, Gui Wuya.”
“Is he the son of the city lord of Wanggui City?”
Liang Yan was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "The six major cities are fighting against Wushuang City. As the son of the city lord, how can he be alone outside?"
Xiangqin thought for a while and replied: "According to According to the information I have gathered, this person seems to want to lobby those neutral forces to let Qi The Twelve Cities of Shan launched an attack on Wushuang City. They had already visited Yuzhu Mountain and Luotian Mountain before, but it seemed that the effect was not good. This time it coincided with Master Canglong's catastrophe. He rushed here, so he might have tried to win over them. What are we thinking about in Wuzhuang Mountain?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan felt enlightened.
“It turned out to be a lobbyist.”
This makes sense. After all, they are both seven mountains and twelve cities. They want to persuade neutral forces to join the battlefield. The identity of the lobbyist Also very important.
As the son of the city lord, Gui Wuqi can lobby all parties and show his sincerity.
It was just a coincidence that Qin An from Xuanyuan City also received the invitation. The two were on opposite sides, but they met at the Bihaiyun Palace in Wuzhuang Mountain. They must have been at odds with each other.
Sure enough, as soon as Gui Wuqi finished speaking, Qin An snorted coldly and said: "It's just a broken bamboo, what's so surprising? Everyone in Xuanyuan City knows that we are good at casting magical weapons. And 'Killing God' The halberd is one of the eight great weapons of Xuanyuan City and is priceless! Only such a treasure is worthy of Brother Canglong!"
After hearing this, Gui Wuqi smiled slightly. : "No matter how good the magic weapon is, how can it be compared to the great weapon?" The wonder of the Tao? In order to compete with the sky, fellow Daoist Canglong has been collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing the spiritual energy of Yimu over the years. If my guess is correct, this matter should be related to the Tribulation Transcendence. The power is from heaven Gui Mou dares to say that there is only one thing in the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent. How can it be compared to the scraps of copper and iron? "
"How presumptuous!" Qin An reached out and slapped the table hard. He stood up with a cold look in his eyes.
Gui Wuqi was not afraid at all and looked at him with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, Canglong had no choice but to smooth things over:
"Okay, okay, the gifts from both of you are first-rate and precious, and I sincerely thank you. But today I am hosting a banquet to entertain you, and with so many fellow Taoists present, I ask you two to turn their hostility into friendship for the sake of the old Taoist."
Qin An and Gui Wuqi had no intention of actually taking action, but Canglong said this. , but gave them the steps.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Brother Canglong's sake, I would have shot you with an arrow today!" Qin An said coldly.
"Haha, I have heard of sun-shooting bows and cloud-penetrating arrows a long time ago, but in my opinion, they are just trivial skills." Gui Wuqi was not afraid at all. He turned around and appeared in the next moment. On top of the white jade cloud platform.
Due to the restrictions of Canglong Lao Dao, the two temporarily stopped playing. There are still two people left in the palace square, an old man in Taoist robes and a middle-aged man in black robes.
Both of them seemed to have a serious character. Even when they came to congratulate them, they didn’t say much. They just presented their gifts to Canglong, and then each climbed onto the white jade cloud platform.
“These two people also have great backgrounds.”
Xiangqin knew what Liang Yan was thinking, so he simply introduced him without waiting for him to ask: "The old Taoist priest's Taoist name is 'Chongtianzi'. He practices the 'Evil-killing Divine Thunder' among the three thunders of Shenxiao. He is very powerful in Shenxiao Mountain." But ranked among the top four. The man in black robe is named Sima Han. He is an elder of Tianmo Mountain. He originally held a high position, but he has a weird and maverick personality. . I heard that he didn't get along with his classmates and ran away in anger. He hasn't been back to Tianmo Mountain for many years. "
"Thank you for the advice, little junior sister."
Liang Yan smiled, he was sincere. I sincerely thank you. Although this 'junior sister' has a somewhat troublesome personality, the information she provided is very important to me.
At this time, I glanced across the main hall and found that ten people were already seated on the twelve white jade platforms. The time was about to reach three quarters noon, and now there were only two seats vacant.
“Are these two going to break their appointment?”
As soon as this idea came up, a golden light flashed in the sea of clouds, and then the disciples outside the door shouted loudly: "Vener Fuhu of Luotian Mountain, and Li Yile of Wanshou Mountain are here to congratulate you!"
Before he finished speaking, two figures walked into the palace at the same time.
The man on the left is wearing a cassock, short and fat, with trembling fat on his face, and a kind smile. The man on the right was dressed in rags, wearing a straw hat, straw sandals, and carrying a bamboo basket behind him. He looked like a secular farmer and was out of tune with everyone present.
But no one dares to underestimate these two people.
Even Master Canglong showed a serious look on his face. He walked down from the cloud platform in person, bowed his hands and said in salute: "Master Wufa, fellow Taoist Yile, you two are willing to help me, Cang Thank you very much.”
Seeing this, the monk hurriedly clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddha's name, and said: "Friend Canglong, there is no need to be polite, it's just a simple effort for us."
The man in the straw hat chuckled: "The Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Five Zhuangshan has always been a good friend, so this small favor is deserved."
Cang Long looked serious and said sincerely: "To be honest, Cang is not sure about the tribulation this time. Yes, it’s just that the time has come and we have to cross. If we fail, we will have to rely on Master Wufa’s "Burning Heart Sutra" and fellow Taoist Ilaku's "Stealing Sky Rat" to save Cang's life. "< br>
"Amitabha, God has the virtue of good life, and the poor monk is a Buddhist monk, so naturally he will not ignore death." Venerable Fuhu clasped his hands together, looking compassionate.
Li Yile laughed and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say. As long as the banquet of fellow Taoist Canglong satisfies me, everything else will be easy to say!"
Canglong understood, smiled slightly, and made a "please" gesture:
"Please take a seat, both of you."
Venerable Fuhu and Li Yile were not polite, and each climbed onto the white jade cloud platform. , sitting on both sides of Canglong.
At this point, the twelve masters who received the invitation have arrived at the Bihaiyun Palace in Wuzhuang Mountain.
Liang Yan took a deep breath, looked around, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid that more than half of the masters under the Asia Saint in Antarctic Immortal Continent will gather here. Canglong has set up such a huge battle to overcome the catastrophe. , Aren’t you afraid of getting burned? ”
It's not surprising that he has such thoughts, because the first person he met, Grandma Tianchi, came here for a different purpose.
Among the twelve people here, I don’t know how many people have evil intentions.
Now that the mountain master of Wuzhuang Mountain is away, even if the entire sect gathers its strength, it is probably no match for these twelve people. Although Canglong has the cultivation level of a sub-sage, he may not be able to suppress them.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan became a little wary.
“I hope these people will not affect my actions. It is best if everyone is attracted by the Canglong Tribulation, so that I can act in secret.”
While he was thinking about it, Cang Long, who had returned to his seat, had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, thank you for traveling thousands of miles to come to Wuzhuang Mountain to help me. Cang didn't treat me well, so I'll toast you all with a thin glass of wine first!"< br>
Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses at the same time.
"Fellow Daoist Cang is too polite. He has overcome the calamity and become a saint. This is a rare event in a thousand years. In the past, no one was willing to make it public. Only Daoist Canglong has a broad mind. We are here to observe and learn. I believe we can gain a lot. Less." Ji Wuchen chuckled.
"Yes." Lin Suxin also nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist Canglong has a broad mind, and the little girl admires it very much. I hope that fellow Taoist can successfully overcome the tribulation and add another saint to our Antarctic Immortal Continent!"< br>
“Haha, you’re welcome, please!”
Cang Long smiled boldly and drank the wine in the glass. Seeing this, everyone else also drank the wine in their hands.
Lu Qinghe clapped his hands at this time, and the female cultivator from Wuzhuang Mountain immediately stepped forward, placed an incense burner on the table of each Ancestor of the Tribulation, and then lit it with magic.
"What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"
Everyone was puzzled, looking at Canglong with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Canglong smiled and said: "Everyone, this is the 'Ice Spirit Divine Fragrance' from our Wuzhuang Mountain Narcissus Ridge. Those who practice water-based Taoism can speed up their practice when they smell it. Ordinary monks can relax their mind and relax their body." Comfortable.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qinghe on the side said again: "Senior Brother Canglong has specially prepared the 'Immortal Treasure Banquet' for everyone to enjoy, in order to bring peace to you, and to express his gratitude to you all, just before tasting the 'Immortal Treasure Banquet'" , you must smell this 'ice spirit fragrance'"
