Chapter 1958 Causes and Consequences
On the top of the mountain, the breeze was blowing.
Tang Qianzhi and others meditated cross-legged for half an hour, refining the elixir, and recovered some spiritual power in their bodies, and were finally able to suppress the injuries.
These people woke up from their trance and saw Liang Yan and Wuxin waiting silently not far away.
"Thank you Liang Shuai for the gift of medicine." Tang Qianzhi stood up and said respectfully.
"No need to say thank you." Liang Yan waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "I want to ask you a few questions. I hope you can tell me exactly what happened."
"Liang Shuai, please ask, Tang knows everything Answer."
"Okay."
Liang Yan nodded and said slowly: " I asked you to negotiate with the Giant Spirit Clan. Although the Giant Spirit Clan has evil intentions, it should not be difficult to tell with your ability. What happened next? Why did all the Nanxuan monks die in the battle, and only you are the ones who survived? Who?”
After hearing Liang Yan’s question, Tang Qianzhi’s face showed a hint of shame.
"It's Tang who is incompetent."
"When we first arrived in Huangsha City, Na Kui Niu warmly received us and said that Beiming was our common enemy. He had long wanted to launch an army to attack, but eight There are conflicts among the clans and they have never been able to work together, so he gave up. Now that we are in trouble all the way in Nanxuan, he is not willing to sit still. He is ready to send troops to conquer Tianmu City with us."
"I was very happy when I saw his sincere words, thinking that this mission could be successfully completed. But I didn't expect that the old fox would change the topic. It is said that their giant spirit tribe has a treasure stored in the forbidden area. As long as they can get this magic weapon, Tianmu City can It can be broken. But they can't enter the forbidden area themselves, so they can only entrust us to get it." When Liang Yan heard this, he frowned and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Since it is their ancestral treasure, why do you want it? If you can’t get in, you outsiders have to go get it?”
“Kui Niu said, because the forbidden area belongs to the ancestors of the Giant Spirit Clan. It is a place that is first used to test future generations. The restrictions inside restrain the Giant Spirit Clan's spells, and become stronger when they are strong. The higher the level of the barrier breaker, the stronger the power of these restrictions. Over the years, no Giant Spirit Clan monk has been able to enter. The deepest part. But we are monks from the outside world and are not affected by the ban, so I was allowed to take action.”
After listening to Tang Qianzhi's explanation, Liang Yan still shook his head and said lightly: "This explanation is too far-fetched and full of flaws. It cannot be believed."
Tang Qianzhi said: "I thought so too at the time, but Kui Niu Nasi is very good Enthusiastic, the entire Giant Spirit Clan was high-spirited, saying that they would fight to the death with Beiming once they got the magic weapon. Considering that the war situation was tense and the attack on Tianmu City was imminent, I couldn't immediately fall out with him, so I argued that the army was tired. I came all the way and wanted to take a day off and wait until the next day to give him a reply."
"Well, this is a good delaying measure. We can take this opportunity to secretly investigate the giant spirits to see who they are. Not sincerely cooperating."
Liang Yan nodded and said, "What happened after that? Why didn't you return to Netherworld Valley after you left Huangsha City?"
"Liang Shuai has something to say? I don’t know”
Tang Qianzhi's expression was a little strange. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "That day, I secretly discussed with Wei Wuming and Nan Youyue, planning to investigate Huangsha City together after dark. But when the time was agreed upon, I But they didn't see the two people coming. Just when I was confused, I suddenly heard a strange sound outside the window. There was a strange ringing sound, and then my body and consciousness were out of control. My head was all muddled and I was confused. When I woke up, the army had been completely wiped out, and I was captured by three alien races."
< br>“How is it possible?”
I heard this accidentally , there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he didn't seem to believe what he said, "You are a monk who has overcome eight difficulties with dignity, how could you be controlled so easily?"
"It's not completely impossible."
Liang Yan refuted Wu Xin’s point of view and muttered: “ Ancient witchcraft is extremely weird. I checked the courtyard where Tang Qianzhi lived and found a straw man in the ground. The straw man looked exactly like him. There were talismans on each side of the front and back, and the whole body was covered with silver needles. . This shows that they have long wanted to design Brother Tang.”
After Wu Xin heard this, he still couldn't agree. He shook his head and said: "Is witchcraft really so magical? Can a little straw man control a master like Tang Qianzhi?"
"Just by relying on it?" A straw man will definitely not do it."
Liang Yan continued: " This witchcraft probably has many links, such as a pre-arranged residence, just the right time, and the golden bell handed down from the witch clan. In addition to these, there are also some tricks on Brother Tang. "
"What do you mean?" Wu Xin frowned.
"What I mean is very clear. There is a traitor in Tang Qianzhi's team. It was this traitor who cooperated with the Wu clan inside and outside that made Taoist friend Tang fall into the trap."
"Ah?"
Not only Wuxin, but also Tang Qianzhi was stunned for a moment.
He seemed to recall something, nodded sharply and said: "That's right! Tang Mou asked himself to act cautiously. Before moving into the attic arranged by the Giant Spirit Clan, he checked it inside and out with his spiritual consciousness. It was definitely not correct. There is no such thing as a straw man, and it’s impossible to bury it in the soil!”
“Could it be that the people around you made the straw man? Buried in?" Wuxin's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "In the entire team, there are only two people with this ability, Wei Wuming and Nan Youyue."
"Them." Tang Qianzhi sighed. He took a breath and said: "Well, I don't want to believe that they are traitors, but I really don't know how to judge now."
At this moment, a firm voice suddenly came from behind:
“It’s definitely not Senior Wuming!”
Liang Yan and Wu Xin were both a little surprised after hearing this. They followed the sound and saw He is one of the hundreds of Tongxuan True Lords who came after Tang Qian.
He has some impression of this person. He seems to be called "Fei Yun". He is a direct bloodline of the Fei family in Baiyu City. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of Tongxuan. Since the outbreak of the Civil War, he has joined the Nanxuan army and followed the Tang Dynasty. Qianzhi fought in the north and south, and he could be regarded as a tiger general.
“You said it’s not Wei Wuming, what evidence do you have?” Wu Xin asked.
"Because Senior Wuming has died in battle, this is what we all saw with our own eyes!"
As soon as he said this, Tang Qianzhi immediately turned back and looked at this person with disbelief, "What? You said The unknown fellow Taoist is dead?”
Fei Yun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Senior Tang, that day you suddenly summoned us and said that you had reached an agreement with the Giant Spirit Clan and that you were going to the forbidden land to help them get the treasure. At that time, Senior Wuming strongly opposed it, but you We insist on going, but in the end we have no choice, we just We have a group of people to follow you to the forbidden land of the Giant Spirit Clan."
"What happened next?"
"Then we went to the so-called forbidden land together. It was very strange, and there was something strange around it. the mist, and the shadow of people in The ground extends infinitely. Senior Wuming felt something was wrong and suggested that the army retreat, but you refused. Not long after, we encountered an ambush, and tens of thousands of alien monks actually crawled out of our shadow and attacked us. "
Fei Yun recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but lamented: "It was a tragic battle. There were many foreign monks and their methods were weird. We resisted desperately, but in the end the whole army was annihilated. The unknown senior died in the battle at that time Yes, he fought against several masters on his own, and died of exhaustion after killing three people in a row. Death. But the Phantom Tribe, the Witch Tribe, and the Giant Spirit Tribe who had been ambushing us for a long time took action at this moment and killed all the alien races that were at war with us."
"Is that so?"
Tang Qianzhi was in disbelief and looked at the other monks beside Fei Yun, expecting to hear a different answer. But these Tongxuan Zhenjun all fell silent in unison.
"It turns out to be like this. It turns out that I harmed you and the nameless fellow Taoist." Tang Qianzhi's face was decadent and he fell to the ground in confusion.
Liang Yan stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and whispered: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. This was not your intention, but was controlled by the witch clan's magic."
Tang Qianzhi didn't speak after hearing this, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was still full of self-blame.
"Wei Wuming died on the battlefield, so the traitor can't be him?" When Wu Xin said this, he looked at Liang Yan and continued: "If it's not Wei Wuming, then It can only be her.”
“ Well, although I don't want to admit it, judging from the existing evidence, it can only be her."
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and then asked: "Brother Tang, please recall again, the one who went to Huangsha City. Did you take anything that day? ”
When Tang Qianzhi was asked, his dull eyes gradually sobered up. He tried to think back and said, "As soon as I settled in Huangsha City that day, fellow Taoist Nan invited fellow Taoist Wuming to discuss countermeasures with me in her courtyard. During this period, we tasted their unique spiritual tea from Yuzhu Mountain. It was at that time that we made a plan to visit Huangsha City at night."
After hearing this, Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other and agreed to the same location. nodded.
"It seems that it is not wrong."
"What? Do you doubt fellow Taoist Nan?" Tang Qianzhi frowned and said: "It's impossible. I ask myself if I'm good at cultivation. Damn, if there is something wrong with that cup of spiritual tea, I can sense it as soon as I drink it.”
“That cup. Of course the tea is non-toxic, but it may have been manipulated so that Wu Changqing can use the secrets of the witch clan to control you. The whole process, including the straw man, the house, the bell magic weapon, and the cup of tea you drank, are all missing. No, otherwise how could I easily control you, a monk who has overcome eight difficulties?”
After listening to Liang Yan's words, Tang Qianzhi's expression changed several times, and he murmured:
"Isn't Fellow Taoist Kekonan a confidant of Liang Shuai? And she once resisted the demons in Yuzhu Mountain , how could she be a traitor?”
“I didn’t say she was a traitor.”
Liang Yan shook his head. He said slowly: "According to my understanding of Nan Youyue, it is impossible for her to betray Nan Xuan. As for why she would do such a thing, maybe just like you are controlled by others, she is also likely to be controlled by others. , it’s just that she was earlier than you.”
“Earlier than me?”
"This is unknown, but I heard that during the battle at Huntian Ridge, Nan Youyue was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Maybe someone had made arrangements in advance at that time." Liang Yan said solemnly.
Tang Qianzhi took a breath after hearing this, "Who is he? Such a long-term plan! Could it be that Dan Yangsheng planned it himself?"
"No way, Dan Yangsheng It was impossible to know that we would be going on the Northern Expedition, and I still have some doubts about this person's purpose."
Liang Yan looked thoughtful, frowned slightly, and silently deduced what happened.
Wuxin was a little worried, and secretly sent a message to ask: "What should we do now? Regardless of whether Nan Youyue is controlled by others, it is almost certain that she is a traitor, and your sixth difficulty is related to her. , is it really an injustice?”
Liang Yan sighed and said in the same voice: "Three disasters and nine are unavoidable. Even if it is true, I will find her and figure out the whole thing."
"But."
Wuxin wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Liang Yan's eyes.
The next moment, he looked sharply at another mountain next to him and shouted: "Who is it? Come out!"
While speaking, he pointed with his hand and released a sword energy It shot out and instantly shattered a mountain wall thousands of feet away.
Wuxin looked from a distance and saw a short man standing in the smoke. His body was stooped and his arms were so long that they almost reached the ground. Otherwise, he was no different from ordinary people.
"Senior, please calm down, senior, please calm down!"
The man begged for mercy again and again, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like garlic: "I'm just here to deliver a message, senior, please don't kill me."
Wuxin narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed the air with his hand, magic light emerged, and instantly grabbed the hunchbacked man from the air.
Poof!
The hunchbacked man fell in front of everyone and fell to the ground.
But he did not dare to be negligent at all. He stood up quickly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to everyone.
"Who are you?" Liang Yan glanced at him and said lightly.
“This boy is Li Ji, the leader of the Camelback Clan, and he was ordered to come here to deliver a message.”
“Oh? Go on.”
"It's a senior. He asked me to bring you a message: If you want to save Nan Youyue, go to Qingdou Peak, which is seven hundred miles southeast of here."
Liang Yan After hearing this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
He looked up and down at the man in front of him, and then at Wu Xin beside him.
Wuxin understood what he meant and immediately sent a message: "In addition to the eight major divine races, there are sixty-four alien races in the Black Mountain Region. The strength of these alien races varies. Some of the clan leaders are in the Tongxuan Realm. There are others like him who are in the Golden Core realm, and as far as I know, there is indeed one among the sixty-four tribes. "Hump Clan'."
The two communicated through messages, but Li Ji thought that Liang Yan didn't believe him, so he cried: "Senior, everything I said is true, and that man returned the favor of my entire tribe. He threatened his life, saying that if he couldn’t recruit seniors, then everyone in the Camelback Clan would be slaughtered.”
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while and said: "In that case, tell me about that person's appearance."
Li Ji immediately replied: "The senior is tall and wearing a green robe. , although the eyes are open, they are cloudy, as if He seems to be a blind man. The strangest thing is that he is holding an oil paper umbrella even though the sun is shining brightly. I don’t know why. "
"Blind man?"
Liang Yan. He and Wu Xin looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
