At present, the discussion in Lingxu Palace has been decided, and everyone disperses.
When Liang Yan left the palace gate, two female disciples came to pick him up and took him to a quiet place, where there were mountains and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, and cloisters and pavilions hidden in the woods. , looks elegant and quiet.
"Palace Master Liang, please rest here for a few days. Tomorrow, you will be granted the title of elder, and you will burn incense and bathe for three days. My uncle will make your own arrangements." The two female disciples bowed to him, then said goodbye and left.
Liang Yan watched the two people leave and went into the forest alone. He saw an attic with red and green willows lying across the stream.
The water flows through the rocks and the wooden strips of the attic, making different crisp sounds. When combined together, they naturally form a piece of music, showing a fresh and natural meaning.
"Is this the sound of nature?"
Liang Yan sighed secretly in his heart and sighed that it was great to practice Taoism.
Although his journey from the mortal world was difficult, he enjoyed a long life. The world is full of strange things and illusions. A mortal's life span lasts only a few decades and he cannot even get out of a cocoon. How can he see this world?
"I was confused and had no true meaning back then. Fortunately, my master led me in, but I don't know where his old man is now?"
Thinking of the angry monk, I couldn't help but feel hurt again. After all, I am now My cultivation is still not enough to influence the saint's affairs, and I don't know what happened in the years when the angry monk disappeared.
"I hope Master will be fine. When I return to Wushuang City, I will mobilize manpower to continue the investigation."
Liang Yan thought to himself, put this idea aside for the time being, and stepped into the attic.
This place was quiet, surrounded by subtle fragrance, elegant and refined, and no one came to disturb it. Liang Yan was very satisfied, so he found a futon in the attic and sat down.
After this battle, a lot was gained, and the biggest prize was the "Yin Yang Blood Transformation Talisman". This talisman is indeed mysterious, which shows that the owner of Blood Transformation Island is impressive.
In addition to this talisman, there are also storage rings from Qin Bailie, Dead Wood Old Immortal, Baimao Ancestor, Yin and Yang Second Judge and others. There are rich resources in them, including countless magic weapons and elixirs. However, these are all used for the time being. If not, I can only put it aside for now.
Liang Yan checked it carefully and took out a dark seal from the storage ring. This seal had three pull tabs on it, which looked very strange.
“I don’t know the origin of this magic weapon.”
Liang Yan carefully played with it for a moment, but found nothing special. In other words, this magic weapon has nothing special when used alone. power!
"Does it only work when controlling the Soul Slayer King?" Liang Yan thought of the battle just now, the scene where the Yin and Yang judges worked together to summon the Soul Slayer King, and it seemed that a strange stone door had been opened first.
He connected the two things and secretly guessed, could this seal only be useful to the ghost behind the door?
This is an explanation, but unfortunately there is no way to prove it, so I can only keep it in mind for the time being and wait for further research.
After Liang Yan inspected the trophies one by one, he sorted them into categories and put them all into his storage ring. Then he sat cross-legged in the attic and meditated, concentrating.
Time flew by and it was early morning the next day.
The disciples of Yuzhu Mountain came to welcome him and took him to the top of the mountain. There were already many elites gathering here. There were more than two thousand disciples from up and down Yuzhu Mountain, regardless of their level of cultivation, all gathered at the top of the mountain at this moment.
The elder's conferment ceremony was held outside Lingxu Palace.
There were all kinds of auspicious clouds on the White Jade Square. The ten elders each led more than two hundred disciples, divided into ten square formations. They looked solemn and waited quietly.
Liang Yan stood in the center of the White Jade Square, with an altar table in front of him, and three incense candles burning slowly on the table.
The green smoke floated up and merged into one in mid-air, forming a cloud. A graceful figure was vaguely visible in the cloud, which seemed to be a woman.
Baili Xuanyin stood behind Liang Yan and said loudly: "Liang Yan, in the clouds and mist is the afterimage of my founder of Yuzhu Mountain. You can salute it. After saluting, it is my Yuzhu Mountain." honorary elder, and The other ten elders enjoy the same treatment."
Liang Yan nodded, took the incense candle from Baili Xuanyin's hand, bowed respectfully to the afterimage in the mist, and then inserted the incense candle in it. into the furnace.
In mid-air, the smoke condensed but never dispersed, finally surrounding Liang Yan.
Liang Yan did not hide away, he only felt a fragrant breeze entering his body, his whole body suddenly felt light and comfortable, and even his soul was faintly strengthened.
"Thank you, senior Buhui!" Liang Yan saluted again.
Seeing this, Baili Xuanyin nodded slightly, and then said with a solemn expression: "Liang Yan, from now on you are the honorary elder of my Yuzhu Mountain, and you must not do anything that harms the interests of Yuzhu Mountain. However, you are not a disciple of my sect, so you don’t have to abide by my sect rules of Yuzhu Mountain. As long as you promise not to interact with Yuzhu Mountain, Just make Zhushan an enemy."
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, if I understand the sage's secret knowledge here, I will have a cause and effect with Yuzhu Mountain, and not only will I not be an enemy of Yuzhu Mountain. , I will also try my best to help Yuzhushan to the best of my ability.”
"Okay!"
Baili Xuanyin also smiled and said: "Palace Master Liang is such a hero, so he will definitely not break his promise. With your words, I can rest assured."
said After that, he paused and continued: "Now you are considered a member of my Yuzhu Mountain. Letting you enter the Phantom Sea of Music does not violate the rule of 'teaching within but not to outsiders'. However, I have something to say first." Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth' There are eighteen laws in total, and it all depends on your qualifications. Those with poor qualifications may not be able to understand them all. If Palace Master Liang fails, he cannot be blamed on me."
" Of course!"
Liang Yan said with a smile: "If I don't have enough understanding and qualifications, then I don't have this opportunity and blessing, how can I dare to anger Yuzhu Mountain?"
"That's good." Baili Xuanyin nodded and said: "To be honest, the 'Phantom Sound Qinhai' is very special. Every time it is opened, it consumes nearly a quarter of the resources of our Yuzhu Mountain, and it can only It lasts for three days. Taoist friends, please make full preparations. After burning incense and bathing, you can enter the Phantom Qin. The sea is over.”
“Is there such a huge consumption?”
Liang Yan was also surprised after hearing this. You must know that Yuzhu Mountain is one of the seven mountains and twelve cities, and it is so rich in resources. But it actually costs a quarter to open a secret realm. Aren't you becoming a gold-swallowing beast?
"Fellow Daoist Liang doesn't know something." Baili Xuanyin secretly transmitted the message: "In the sea of phantom sounds, one year is equivalent to one day outside. This is the great magical power of the founder of 'Buhui'. It must be coordinated with the huge Only with spiritual energy resources can we maintain it.”
"So that's it." Liang Yan suddenly realized, and thought to himself: "No wonder, I said, Nan Youyue understood the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth' within a few days. It turns out that this phantom sound Qinhai has such a mystery, and it is like a sect." The foundation is indeed profound! ”
He understood what Baili Xuanyin meant. He was trying to remind himself that opportunities did not come easily, so it was best to make adequate preparations in advance, otherwise the effort would be in vain.
"Thank you for the advice, fellow Taoist. However, the world is in chaos now. Liang has to rush back to Wushuang City, and there is no time to prepare. It is better to open the secret realm as soon as possible." Liang Yan said seriously.
After hearing this, Baili Xuanyin sighed and said: "In that case, please ask Palace Master Liang to burn incense and bathe for three days. After three days, open the 'Phantom Sound Qin Sea'!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Baili."
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed.
Liang Yan also returned to the attic in the forest. After three days of meditation, burning incense and bathing, he adjusted his state of mind to the best. But in the past three days, in Yuzhu Mountain, next to a hot spring full of spiritual energy, a beautiful woman in white sat.
In front of her was a piece of mottled bluestone. On the stone were two teacups and a pot of spiritual tea, seemingly waiting for someone.
After a while, a ray of light traveled from far to near, landing near the hot spring, and revealed a human appearance, but it was Nan Youyue, one of the ten elders of Yuzhu Mountain.
This girl has a beautiful face and a cold heart. She is unique even in Yuzhu Mountain where there are so many beauties. Unfortunately, her face is a little haggard now and her eyes are not as clear as before.
"Sit down."
The beautiful woman in white pointed her hand, and the teapot flew up, making a cup of spiritual tea for both of them at the same time.
Nan Youyue sat down as she was told, but she didn't make a sound and remained silent.
"Idiot!"
The beautiful woman in white sighed. She knew the temperament of her apprentice very well. She was usually dignified and elegant and never made mistakes, but now her black hair was a little messy. It was obvious that he had not taken care of it, and his mood was no longer the same as before.
"After all, it's wishful thinking, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. Why do you have to be persistent?" Baili Xuanyin sighed.
“I don’t know if this disciple is just possessed by a demon and can’t help but think about him.” Nan Youyue lowered her head and said softly.
After hearing this, Baili Xuanyin felt distressed, with a loving expression on her face, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to tidy up her beloved disciple's hair.
“You child, you look calm on the outside, but your inner emotions are like a river. I’m afraid this is the reason why ‘Dang Mo Xian Qin’ chose you as the main character.”
Having said this, he sighed again Qi said: "This Palace Master Liang already has a Taoist partner, and from what I see, this person is not like a person who is always around, and he will not be swayed by others. If you still can't let him go, then you will be like a moth to a flame. In the end, It will only hurt yourself.”
"Disciple understands."
Nan Youyue's voice was soft, but there was a hint of unspeakable bitterness.
When Baili Xuanyin saw this, she felt even more distressed. She also thought that all her magic power was in vain, and she didn’t know when she would be able to practice it again. Now she was helpless even when her apprentice was wronged, and she felt really depressed.
"The obsessions in the world are like a sea, and we can't get ashore. So what if we achieve enlightenment and become a saint? Everything can't go as planned! Perhaps only by becoming a being like the 'Dao of Heaven' can we have a day of freedom, but if If you really reach that state, will you still be a 'human'?"
Baili Xuanyin sighed in his heart, looking into the distance, one master and one disciple, but he was crazy.
After a long time, I suddenly heard Nan Youyue whispering: "Master, I have made up my mind. From now on, I will never go down the mountain again. I will always be with Master, surrounded by green lanterns and jade bamboos."
Baili Xuanyin replied. After coming to his senses, he glanced at Nan Youyue and secretly thought something was wrong.
This idiot looks weak on the outside, but in fact he is stubborn on the inside. Once he decides on something, even ten cows can't get him back.
"You are trying to isolate yourself in Yuzhu Mountain. How can I, the master, let you be trapped by love? You have to make some arrangements."
Baili Xuanyin's face turned pale. Change, but I was thinking secretly in my heart: "As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie the bell. It is better to let her go and let her go to the world for a while. It is exactly 'from the world of mortals, to the world of mortals!'"
Thinking of this, Baili Xuanyin already had a plan in mind, and immediately said with a smile: "Let's not mention these things for now. Palace Master Liang has a great favor to me in Yuzhu Mountain. He wants to understand the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth', and I also hope he succeeds. But I think he is a swordsman. Although his skills are superb, he knows very little about the way of music. This time he enters the "Phantom Sound Sea", I am afraid it will be difficult to understand the mystery of Xuanyin. In the end, I'm just happy in vain."
After hearing these words, Nan Youyue's eyes gradually changed, and she frowned and said: "What the master said is absolutely true. After all, he is not a member of my sect, even if he is enlightened. No matter how high you are, it’s difficult to understand the changes in Xuanyin, so what should you do?”
As he spoke, he was obviously a little anxious, and the word “worry” was written on his face.
Baili Xuanyin had been prepared for a long time, and smiled at this time: "So, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I think I should send someone to help him."
"Help him?" Nanyou Yue Yi didn't react for a moment.
"Of course, we should send someone who has understood the mysterious sounds of heaven and earth to enter the 'Phantom Sound Sea' with him, and help him understand the Eighteen Rhymes as much as possible."
Hearing this, Nan Youyue no longer wanted to Sluggishness also reacted.
"Master, you. You want me to accompany him to enlightenment?"
"That's it. After all, he is my benefactor of Yuzhu Mountain. Do you have the heart to look at his bamboo?" Is it all in vain?" Baili Xuanyin said with a half-smile.
"Disciple, disciple"
Nan Youyue was speechless and felt confused.
She knew that Liang Yan had a Taoist partner, and she planned to give up on this relationship, but the master now asked her to help this person. You must know that "Phantom Sound Qinhai" is a closed secret realm. If no one opens it from the outside, no one can come out. This lonely man and widow live in the same room.
Thinking of this, Nan Youyue's face turned red. .
It’s inappropriate to agree, and I can’t bear to say no. I’m really confused and don’t know how to answer.
Baili Xuanyin smiled again and said: "Why are you so coy? Looking at the entire Yuzhu Mountain now, apart from Senior Sister Feng, you are the only one who has understood the 'Heaven and Earth Xuanyin', so this task must be done by you. If you If I can’t bear to see him return without success, I have nothing to say.”
Hearing the words "return without success", Nanyou Yuexiang trembled slightly, bit her lip, and finally nodded: "Okay, disciple agrees! Just... help him one last time."
"That's right."
Baili Xuanyin smiled slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Yue'er, it's useless for you to just avoid some things. You can only take the initiative Face it and face your own heart to get over it. If there are no waves in your heart, even if two people are in the same room, it will be a breeze; if there are waves in your heart, just go away from the mortal world and you will know yourself in the future. "
These words were very meaningful. Unfortunately, Nan Youyue was uneasy at this time. She listened in a daze and did not understand the true meaning, so she just nodded numbly.
Baili Xuanyin sighed in his heart and thought to himself: "After all, I am still in love, my mind is lost, and it will take some time before I can see my true self."
Thinking of this, he didn't say much, waved and said: "I'm tired of being a teacher, you can go down first."
"Yes"
Nan Youyue stood up and saluted, and then turned into a ray of light. , left Baili Xuanyin’s cave.
