Chapter 1662 Inspection
After Liang Yan returned to his disciple's residence, he closed his eyes and meditated in his cave without going out even half a step.
In just one night, things happened in countless twists and turns, and there were too many accidents. Fortunately, I finally achieved my goal and successfully unlocked the first seal of Tianji Pavilion.
What surprised Liang Yan was that while unlocking the seal, he also gained a lot of cultivation, saving at least two hundred years of hard training!
He has some expectations now. If the power contained in the second seal can also allow the Tianji Pearl to return so much cultivation, then his cultivation will soon be complete and he can face his first disaster. .
Liang Yan is determined to get the second seal!
However, after what happened last night, I wonder how the old Taoist priests in Wuzhuang Mountain will react? Not to mention anything else, at least the guards in Wuzhuang Mountain will be tighter, and the next action may not be so easy
While thinking about it, someone came galloping from the valley, and soon they arrived outside his courtyard gate.
I heard a clear boy’s voice calling:
“Is Senior Brother Qingshan here?”
After hearing this, Liang Yan frowned slightly, and the next moment he stood up, opened the door, and came outside the courtyard.
I saw a boy with red lips, white teeth, and beautiful features. He looked to be eight or nine years old, standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at himself with a pair of big eyes.
According to the memory in the wooden tablet, this person should be one of Lu Qinghe’s direct disciples, Liu Mingyue.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Mingyue, what do you want from me?" Liang Yan asked with a smile.
"Senior Brother Qingshan, the master has summoned you and asked you to go to Narcissus Ridge quickly." The boy said respectfully.
"Master summoned?"
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Master, did you say what the reason was?"
"That's not clear." The boy lowered his voice and said: "But I heard that there was something strange in Narcissus Ridge last night. I'm afraid there might have been a thief. Master called me to go and answer the question. It should be related to this matter."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression did not change much. He just nodded and said: "I understand. Thank you, junior brother, for informing me. This matter is serious, so we should hurry up. Go to Narcissus Ridge and meet Master.”
“That’s right.”
Mingyue nodded, pinched a spell in her hand, and a white cloud appeared at the feet of Liang Yan and herself, carrying the two of them flying close to the ground, and soon left the valley where the disciples lived, heading towards Narcissus Ridge.
In just one stick of incense, the two of them had arrived at Narcissus Ridge.
This is the second time Liang Yan has set foot here. It was just that it was a bit shady at night, but this time it was upright.
Lu Qinghe doesn't like ostentation. The place where he lives only has a thatched cottage and a small river.
At this moment, Lu Qinghe was sitting on a huge rock by the river.
When Liang Yan and Mingyue arrived, four young men were already standing next to the boulder. One of them was tall and handsome, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist. He was the eldest disciple of Lu Qinghe, Meng Cunzhen.
There is another person with a dark face and a thin figure, but he is "Bishui" disguised as Xiong Ba.
Seeing Xiong Ba, although Liang Yan remained calm on the surface, he was observing carefully secretly.
He was curious, what did Xiong Ba do last night?
The commotion in Narcissus Ridge is turning upside down. Is this person involved? Or did he do something ulterior while Lu Qinghe, Zuo Xingzhi and others were attracted?
As if sensing Liang Yan's observation, Xiong Ba also turned around and smiled slightly at him.
Liang Yan didn't expect that his senses were so keen. In full view of everyone, he could only smile back, then quickly walked to Xiong Ba's side and stood with his hands down in front of Lu Qinghe.
Lu Qinghe was fishing at this time.
He was holding a fishing rod, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was sitting motionless on the boulder, seeming to have fallen into trance.
Liang Yan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he didn't say anything. He looked around and found that there were only six young Taoists including himself.
Lu Qinghe had a total of seven direct disciples, and now there are only six. The remaining one should be his junior sister Xiangqin.
"The little girl didn't come. Could it be that she played my bamboo flute?"
Liang Yan felt a little regretful.
The reason why he gave the bamboo flute to Xiangqin at that time was because the girl was too familiar with "Qingshan" and was very clingy. He was afraid that if she stayed by his side all the time, her flaws would be revealed over time.
I originally thought that I could get two seals in one night, but I didn’t expect that I was not the only one who acted secretly.
Too much time was wasted last night. Not only was there no way to unlock the second seal, it also made Lu Qinghe and others become alert.
In this current situation, the original decision to let Xiangqin sleep has become a bad idea. I wonder if Lu Qinghe has ever visited Xiangqin. Once he discovers the bamboo flute, he may suspect himself On his head.
Liang Yan felt a little uneasy, but Lu Qinghe seemed to be asleep, remaining motionless on the boulder.
I don’t know how long it took, but a sigh suddenly came from above the boulder:
“Green mountains and clear waters, how long have you two followed me to practice Taoism?”
This question was asked a bit abruptly. After hearing this, Liang Yan had a vague feeling in his heart.
Isn’t Lu Qinghe suspicious of the two of them?
Liang Yan couldn't figure out Lu Qinghe's thoughts for a while, and could only answer according to the memory in the wooden sign: "Reporting to Master, I will start first. I have been practicing with Master for 816 years. Junior Brother Bishui started practicing Taoism thirty years later than me, and now he has been practicing Taoism with Master for seven hundred and eighty-six years."
"Eight hundred years," Lu Qinghe seemed to be recalling the past. , sighed, and said slowly: "I think you were all just young boys back then, but now in the blink of an eye, you are already a core disciple who can stand alone."
Liang Yan and Xiong Ba looked at each other, but Knowing what this person was thinking, he could only say respectfully: "Master has trained us well. Without Master, the two of us would never have achieved what we have today."
"Good children, come to me. I want to take a good look at you." Lu Qinghe smiled and waved to the two of them.
Liang Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
Lu Qinghe was obviously suspicious of himself and Xiong Ba and wanted to check their identities personally.
The current situation is very bad.
Although he has the Tianji Pearl, even if Lu Qinghe intends to investigate, he may not be seen through, but he is not sure whether Xiong Ba can withstand it. Once Xiong Ba is exposed, he will definitely not be able to hide it.
"You must not show any flaws."
Liang Yan glanced at Xiong Ba. This was the first time he had expectations for this Tianxie Pavilion teammate, because the two were now in the same boat. , one loss and all loss.
Soon, the two came to Lu Qinghe and stood under the boulder.
"Good boy."
Lu Qinghe smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and touched the top of Liang Yan's head first.
An ethereal light energy poured in from the Baihui Point on the top of his head, then invaded Liang Yan's meridians, and began to travel throughout his body as the spiritual power moved.
Liang Yan remained calm on the surface, but secretly he was very energetic. He knew that this was Lu Qinghe's magical method, used to check the situation in his body. If he saw any flaws, his identity might be exposed.
But fortunately, there is a Tianji Pearl that can create an illusion in the body. In fact, Lu Qinghe’s light energy did not enter the meridians, but was deceived by the Tianji Pearl, and The wrong message was sent back.
Lu Qinghe stroked the top of his head for a moment, and his frown gradually relaxed.
Not long after, the Lord of the Water Department withdrew his right hand, still with a faint smile on his face, and he looked unchanged.
Liang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Lu Qinghe has not found any flaws. The Tianji Pearl is indeed the "Secret Treasure of the Origin". Without this object, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from Lu Qinghe with just his own strength.
However, it is useless to pass the test by yourself. It depends on whether Xiong Ba has this ability.
While he was thinking, Lu Qinghe had already put his palm on Xiong Ba's head. Needless to say, the light energy that had just checked Liang Yan also poured into Xiong Ba's body at this time.
Liang Yan's heart rose in his throat.
Once Xiong Ba is exposed, he will definitely reveal himself, and a fierce battle will inevitably happen.
In order to strike first, Liang Yan has begun to be on guard. If things change, he will be the first to attack. After working together with Xiong Ba to injure Lu Qinghe, he can then make his next plan
< br>However, it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.
In just a moment, Lu Qinghe retracted his palm.
He didn't seem to notice Xiong Ba's disguise. He just frowned and asked, "Bishui, are you injured?"
"Master Mingjian, this disciple is indeed seriously injured." Xiong Ba's voice Somewhat weak.
Lu Qinghe looked thoughtful and suddenly asked: "Why did you two invite me to the ancestor's ancestral hall last night?"
"Reply to the master."
Liang Yan had already prepared for this question, and replied at this time: "Grandma Tianchi has asked us two questions many times. When someone inquired about the location of the ancestor's ancestral hall, the disciple was cautious at the time and did not tell the truth. But when I went to deliver tea to Grandma Tianchi last night, I found that she was no longer in the cave. We both had doubts, so we thought. I went to the ancestor's ancestral hall to see the situation and reported the news to Master."
"Then you can see with your own eyes that it was Grandma Tianchi who did the trick in the ancestral hall?"
"That's right!" Liang Yan and Xiong Ba nodded at the same time.
"Besides Grandma Tianchi, who is the other person?"
Liang Yan thought for a while and replied: "That person is always hidden in the black mist, but he and Grandma Tianchi During the fight, the magical power used seemed to be the 'Hai Hai Whale Swallowing Technique'. The disciples guessed that there was a high probability that they would be killed."
"It turned out to be the two of them"
Lu Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, was silent for a while, and then asked: "Since you broke up the fight between the two Transformation Tribulation Realm monks, how did you two escape?"
"When my junior brother and I went in, Grandma Tianchi and Gui Wuqi were fighting fiercely. Both sides were evenly matched. There was no time for him to care. And they didn’t seem to want to destroy the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall, so the area covered by the spell was not large. We saw an opportunity and escaped by chance."
"What will happen after you come out? Where did you go again?" Lu Qinghe asked.
"Report to Master."
The person who answered him this time was Xiong Ba. His voice was very weak and he said slowly: "Although we had a chance to escape last night, we are still in the catastrophe state. The senior's spell was still too strong, and my disciple was unfortunately affected by the spell and was seriously injured. It was Senior Brother Qingshan who took me back to the disciple's residence, and has been helping me heal my injuries in the cave since then."
Xiong Ba's explanation was reasonable and without any flaws.
As for the injuries in his body, even Liang Yan didn't know where they came from, but looking at it now, this person should have been prepared for it, and the purpose of doing this was to deal with Lu Qinghe's cross-examination.
At this moment, after understanding the "ins and outs", Lu Qinghe's expression gradually improved, and his suspicion seemed to have faded a lot.
“So that’s what happened this time, you two did a good job.”
Lu Qinghe touched his chin, nodded slightly and said, “Thanks to you two for being cautious this time. He was extremely careful and didn't let the Patriarch's tablet be stolen this time. After it's over, I will give you two the rewards you deserve. As for the injuries in Bi Shui's body, I just saw that it will not affect the foundation. You can take my handwritten talisman and go to Zixia Tower to exchange for a 'Resurrection Pill'. , it only takes three days to recover after taking the elixir.”
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiong Ba's face showed a look of "delight", and he quickly stepped forward and took the handwritten order from Lu Qinghe.
Lu Qinghe's face was calm at this time, he glanced at his six disciples, and said slowly: "I think you also probably know that Wuzhuang Mountain was not peaceful last night, especially in our Shuixian Ridge. Many important things have happened, and I summoned you here just to strengthen the vigilance.”
After hearing this, several disciples raised their hands and said:
“Master, please give me orders.”
< br>
"For the next seven days, Meng Cunzhen will be responsible for guarding the Hidden Spirit Valley, and the rest will be responsible for patrolling the Wuming Peak. You can patrol alternately. If you find any trouble, report it to the master immediately."
Lu Qinghe made unified arrangements for the location and time of everyone's patrols, and everyone had their own tasks.
Liang Yan was responsible for the period from Si Shi to Shen Shi, located on the west side of Wuming Peak.
Although he himself did not want to go on patrol, he was using the identity of "Qingshan" to sneak into Wuzhuang Mountain, so he still had to do superficial things.
After assigning everyone's patrol tasks, Lu Qinghe didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand and said: "You all go down. Remember to perform your duties and don't neglect."
"Master, don't worry, we don't dare to relax at all."
The disciples bowed to Lu Qinghe and then left.
Liang Yan also left Narcissus Ridge and walked with Xiong Ba on the mountain path of Wuming Peak.
The two walked side by side, seemingly intimate, but in fact they had their own thoughts.
After a long silence, it was Xiong Ba who spoke first and sent a message to him: "Fellow Taoist Longwu, the Narcissus Ridge was not peaceful last night. I guess you must have gained a lot of benefits secretly, right?"< br>
"To each other, didn't Fellow Daoist Xiong Ba stay away all night?"
Liang Yan's tone was a little cold, which made Xiong Ba frown slightly, and said with some confusion: "What? Fellow Daoist Long Wu?" Have a problem with me?”
“Haha.”
Liang Yan smiled and suddenly stopped.
“Lian Xin, how long are you going to keep pretending in front of me?”
