"Unknown fellow Taoist, you seem to be overly curious."
Liang Yan clasped his hands behind his back, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "It is a taboo to inquire into other people's details at will. You were hiding in the dark before, but now You want to test my skills again?”
“Ahem. Liang Shuai, don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious because Can Ke saw someone using magic powers similar to Liang Shuai’s. According to him He said that this magical power originated from the demon clan, so he was curious when he saw Liang Shuai using it just now. "
"Demon clan?"
Liang Yan laughed. He smiled and said: "There are many sects in the human continent, and hundreds of schools of thought have their own mysteries. How can you recognize the mysteries of my magical powers with just one glance? I'm afraid you have seen it wrong and confused it with other magical powers?"
Even so, I was secretly shocked: "This guy is really not simple. Could it be that he has really seen the 'Soul Seed Technique'?"
"Okay, since Liang Shuai said no, then it must be me. Wrong." Wei Wuming's face was noncommittal, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
The two of them fell silent. The cave was quiet, and there was no sound anymore.
After a long time, a ray of rays of light suddenly fell outside the cave entrance, but it never came back.
"Both of you, I have investigated carefully. This is the list of spiritual animals they raise."
Gui Wuqi handed the two bamboo slips to Liang Yan and Wei Wuming respectively.
“The spirit beasts raised by these people are all different, and there are no similarities in their attributes. However, one thing is strange. Their spirit beasts seem to be very ferocious, and the combatants they display during the fight are very strange. The power is much higher than that of spiritual beasts of the same level," Gui Wuqi said slowly.
Liang Yan and Wei Wuming looked at each other and both smiled slightly.
“It seems that we have found the key to the problem. If the combat power of one of the spirit beasts exceeds that of the same level, it may be due to the extraordinary talent of the spirit beast itself, but the combat power of all the spirit beasts They are all higher than the same level, which only means that there is something wrong with the way these people cultivate spiritual beasts."
"That's right!"
Gui Wuqi suddenly said: "Although these people have different origins and magical powers, their methods of training spirit beasts are similar. This is the only thing they have in common. But... they are all dead, and the spirit beasts It also self-destructed, and our clues ended here."< br>
Liang Yan said with a smile: "Not necessarily, you have forgotten, our Nanxuan has a sect called 'Wanshou Mountain'."
"You want help from Wanshou Mountain? But things here are different from them Regarding this, will it alert the enemy?" Gui Wuqi said worriedly.
"There may be a traitor in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, but it will definitely not be Liu Changshou. I will go directly to Fellow Daoist Liu to find out more about this matter." Liang Yan said calmly.
After hearing this, Gui Wuqi chuckled and said, "I almost forgot, fellow Taoist is now also a member of the Xuanxin Palace, and is on an equal footing with the Nine Great Ya Sages, so you are the only one who can invite Liu Changshou."< br>
Liang Yan smiled slightly, "Without further ado, give me all the spirit beast bags of these seven people. Liang will go to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain now."
"Okay!"
< br>Gui Wuqi did not hesitate and handed all the spirit beast bags belonging to Nan Wang and the other seven people to Liang Yan.
"Shuai Liang, I am waiting for good news."
Wei Wuming also said: "Can Ke will be in the Wuchen Army these days. If there is any progress in this matter, we might as well Tell Can Ke.”
Liang Yan nodded, said no more, turned around and turned into a ray of light, exited the cave and flew straight to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Half an hour later, Liang Yan arrived at the territory of Wanshou Mountain.
This is a rare plain in the Huntian Ridge, surrounded by undulating mountains, with only one entrance to the east.
In addition to the guarding monks and patrol teams, there are twelve giant elephants sleeping at the entrance.
These giant elephants are over a hundred feet tall. They are covered in golden light and have mysterious patterns on their foreheads, which contain a hint of the ancient and wild atmosphere.
Just as Liang Yan's escape light approached, these sleeping giant elephants opened their eyes at the same time.
The extremely powerful pressure rushed towards him, and even with Liang Yan's magical power, he had to stop his escape.
"The Wuji Dragon Elephant!"
Liang Yan had joined Nanxuan for some time and had heard of the reputation of these twelve giant elephants. He repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in battles, and was especially good at rushing into formations.
However, although the Wuji Dragon Elephant is powerful, the power of its bloodline is difficult to pass on. After countless years of evolution, it is almost extinct in the Antarctic Fairy Continent. Only the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain still retains twelve of them. Therefore, It is Nan Xuan's major killer weapon.
Perhaps sensing Liang Yan's pressure, the twelve giant elephants all woke up from their slumber and glanced at them at the same time, which actually made Liang Yan feel a little afraid.
"As expected of an ancient alien species, with a keen sense of smell. Even if I suppressed my breath, I was still discovered by them immediately."
Liang Yan sighed in his heart, pressed down the escape light, Arrive in front of the camp gate.
The last time he came, Liu Changshou took him through the back door and did not pass through the front door. But this time it was different. Without Liu Changshou to lead the way, it would be somewhat troublesome.
Sure enough, hundreds of monks surrounded him just after he escaped from the light.
"Who trespassed into the territory of Wanshou Mountain?"
Someone in the patrol team recognized him and quickly grabbed the monk from before, "Don't be rude! This is the commander of the Bamboo Army!"
said After finishing, he bowed his hand to him again and said with a smile: " I heard that Commander Liang has been training recently, so how come he has time to come to our Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?"
Liang Yan said calmly: "I have something important to discuss with Fellow Daoist Liu."
"Are you looking for Uncle Master?"
The man was a little surprised, then shook his head and said: "This is unfortunate. Uncle Master went into seclusion three days ago. Didn't Liang Shuai make an announcement in advance?"
"The incident happened suddenly, so I didn't Message Notice."
"That may have to wait for a while. Uncle Master is going into seclusion this time to improve the coordination between spiritual beasts and military formations. It is estimated that he will not be able to leave seclusion for less than ten days and a half."
After hearing this, Liang Yan frowned slightly.
Although Nan Wang and others were only low-level monks, their deaths were too strange. This matter could be big or small. In his opinion, the cause must be found out in time.
However, in the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, he only trusted a few people such as Liu Changshou and Li Yile. Now that the Li brothers had left, only Liu Changshou could answer his questions.
"Can you send a message to Fellow Daoist Liu? Just tell him that Liang has something important to see him."
"I'm sorry." There was a look of embarrassment on the man's face, "Uncle Master In seclusion, the most taboo thing is to be disturbed by others, and we don’t dare to risk it. Ran sent a message, if Commander Liang has something important, why not discuss it with some elders?"
Liang Yan frowned and was about to say something else when he saw a big white bird flying in the sky. The speed was extremely fast, and it landed on the stone pillar at the door in the blink of an eye. The big bird opened its mouth and spoke human words, and the voice that came out was Liu Changshou's voice: "Shuai Liang is here. It's really brilliant. Let's go to the thatched cottage and sit for a while. I will be here soon."< br>
"Huh?"
All the disciples in Wanshou Mountain were a little surprised. You must know that Liu Changshou never saw anyone when he was in retreat. It seemed that Liang Yan was the only exception.
Everyone showed respect, bowed their hands to Liang Yan and said, "Shuai Liang, uncle, please invite me!"
"Yes."
Liang Yan nodded. Nodding, without saying anything, he followed a disciple from Wanshou Mountain into the military camp. The twelve Wuji Dragon Elephants seemed to acquiesce to all this, and there was no movement from beginning to end.
Not long after, Liang Yan came to a quiet thatched house.
The furnishings inside are extremely simple, with only a wooden table and a few benches.
Liang Yan sat down casually and waited for a while. The space in the room suddenly rippled, and then an extra person appeared out of thin air and sat opposite him.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you have integrated the three battalions and have been training recently. Why do you have time to see me?" Liu Changshou laughed as soon as he appeared.
"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, let's get straight to the point. Liang came here this time because I am actually confused about something, and I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Liu to help me clear it up."
"Oh?" Liu Changshou was a little surprised and asked, "I wonder what's going on?"
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look."
Liang Yan took all the spirit beast bags of the seven Wuchen Army members. He took it out, put it on the table, and continued: "Nanxuan has recently seen many low-level monks become possessed. According to my investigation, this This matter seems to be related to the spirit beasts they tamed, but these spirit beasts have self-destructed, and it is difficult for me to trace them. I have to ask fellow Taoists for help."
"Obsessed?"
Liu Changshou looked thoughtful, picked up a spirit beast bag from the table, and examined it carefully.
After a while, he put down the spirit beast bag in his hand and picked up the remaining spirit beast bags one by one, but only glanced at them a few times.
"Alas"
After checking all the spirit beast bags, Liu Changshou sighed and said: "It's the 'Secret Technique of the Sky Spider'."
"Tian Spider secret technique?”
“Well, this is an extremely The unpopular method of taming beasts requires the user to use his own essence and blood as a guide, supplemented by the demon cores of seven or forty-nine different kinds of demon beasts, and then use the 'Sky Spider Silk' as a medium to connect the souls of the spirit beasts with himself. Bound together to form a symbiotic relationship ”
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly and asked: "What are the characteristics of this method of taming animals?"
"The combat power of spiritual beasts raised with the 'Secret Technique of Sky Spider' will be It will far surpass the spiritual beasts of the same level, and it is very easy to advance. There is almost no bottleneck in the early stage. A monk in the early stage of foundation building can even challenge a monk in the late stage of foundation building by relying on the 'Sky Spider Secret Technique'." br>
“So domineering?”
"Haha, although the technique is overbearing, its shortcomings are also obvious. The reason why the spiritual beasts raised with the 'Secret Technique of Sky Spider' are powerful is that part of the potential of the monks is given to the spiritual beasts, which leads to the monks themselves It will become very difficult to break through. To put it simply, it is to destroy the potential! Although it has a strong combat power at this stage, it will ruin its future.”
Liang Yan nodded, but there was no look of surprise on his face. With his current level of cultivation, he can certainly guess that a spell that forcibly enhances his strength like this would most likely destroy his future.
Liu Changshou sighed and said: "We monks in Wan Beast Mountain disdain to practice such extreme methods. There are only some casual cultivators who only want to practice for temporary combat power. And practice There is no need to use this method when you reach the Golden Core realm. It will cause a hundred harms but no benefits.”
< br>"Well, this does explain why those who are possessed by evil spirits are only monks in the Juyuan Realm and Foundation Establishment Stage." The people below will handle it, so there's no need to alarm you and me, right?" Liu Changshou asked with some confusion.
“My fellow Taoists don’t know that these people became obsessed at almost the same time, and not only the Wuchen Army, but also the Shenxiao Army had a similar situation. If what I expected is true, the entire There are many low-level monks in the Nanxuan army who have gone crazy like this, and the time is close.”
"There is such a thing!"
Liu Changshou frowned and muttered: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! This matter is indeed unusual. I don't know how Liang Shuai guessed it."
Liang Yan didn't hide anything and told Wei Wuming's inference.
"Well, it is indeed possible." Liu Changshou said in deep thought: "Those who practice the 'Sky Spider Secret Technique' have bound the soul of the spirit beast to their own soul. If the spirit beast is affected in some way, , will be fed back to its owner.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan’s eyes lit up, “Fellow Daoist Liu, what you are saying is that it was not these monks who were affected, but their spirit beasts. It was only because they practiced the secret technique of the Sky Spider that they were affected. Disaster? ”
"Yes."
"In my opinion, what is it that affects these spiritual beasts and makes them crazy?"
"It can only be another kind of spiritual beast. "
"What do you say?" Liang Yan asked.
Liu Changshou looked solemn and said slowly: "If it is music, it is impossible for you not to hear it, but these low-level spirit beasts hear it. So it can only be the language between spirit beasts. And in this way In addition to greatly increasing their combat power, the spiritual beasts trained in the 'Secret Technique of Sky Spider' also have another characteristic, which is that they are very sensitive to ghost-type spiritual beasts and can hear sounds that ordinary people cannot."
When Liang Yan heard this, he suddenly realized: "You are saying that there is a kind of ghost-like spiritual beast in our Nanxuan Camp. The sound it makes unintentionally when it moves has interfered with those who practice the 'Secret Technique of the Sky Spider' The spiritual beasts that came out caused their owners to become possessed?"
"This is the only explanation," Liu Changshou said solemnly.
"Then Liang dares to ask, who in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has cultivated this kind of spiritual beast?" Liang Yan said with a solemn expression.
"None." Liu Changshou answered very simply.
“No one? Then.”
"No need to think about it. Yin soul-type spiritual beasts are very rare, and the cultivation method is also extremely secretive. As far as I know, this secret technique is only recorded in a certain sect in Beiming, and the cultivation level of the person who cultivates it must be at least "Transformation Tribulation Realm."
After hearing Liu Changshou's answer, Liang Yan's eyes flashed.
"There is indeed a spy! It seems that my worries are not unfounded. This person has the cultivation level of the Tribulation Realm, and his plans are definitely not small, but I don't know what his purpose is in secretly activating the spiritual beasts?"
"This is what we are going to investigate!"
Liu Changshou said with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Liang. Since this matter is related to spiritual beasts, I will definitely investigate to the end. However, it will take some time. Fellow Daoist, you can go back first. I will send someone as soon as there is news." People inform you.”
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, fellow Taoist." Liang Yan said, cupping his fists.
