Chapter 2001 Puppet
“Fahua Mountain?”
Venus Fuhu caught up with Liang Yan, but was puzzled and asked: “Didn’t we check there just now? There is no response from the 'Purple Gold Immortal Bowl', and you have also checked it yourself. Is there anything missing?"
"Although there is no problem with the disciples of Shenyue Sect, there is one thing. I don't think it's reasonable." Liang Yan said thoughtfully.
“What happened?”
"Actually, before I came to Luotian Mountain, I had already had contact with the Shenyue Sect. I knew that Shen Qiuyue is a person who possesses the 'Shenyue Holy Body'. Logically speaking, her cave should be bathed in the place where the moonlight is the most abundant. Why? Will it be built deep in the house and hidden under the cliff?”
After hearing what Liang Yan said, Master Fuhu looked thoughtful.
"This is indeed a bit unreasonable, but it doesn't mean anything. Although the 'Holy Body of the Moon' needs to be cultivated with the help of moonlight, when her cultivation reaches her level, she doesn't need to swallow moonlight every day. . And she participated in the Shenji Act and may not have any intention to practice."
"You are right. That makes sense." Liang Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Although this is not a major doubt, we must be absolutely sure and cannot let go of anything suspicious."
"Okay. "Venerable Fuhu nodded helplessly and asked: "Then you plan to re-examine 'Fahua Mountain'."
"No, don't make a big fuss this time, and don't alarm Mo Wuhen. Just the two of us will go to Shen Qiuyue's cave to have a look."
"This is not good, okay"
Fu Lord Tiger looked troubled.
After all, he is also one of the eight great sages of Luotian Mountain, with a great reputation. If anyone knew that he sneaked into a female nun's boudoir late at night, he might become a joke for the ages.
Looking at his expression, Liang Yan knew his inner thoughts and said with a smile: "Fuhu, what are you afraid of? Let these law enforcement disciples wait outside, and just the two of us will go in. If there is really a problem inside, Then you have done a great job! If there is no problem, we will come out quietly, and Liang will ensure that this matter will not be spread.”
"Alas!"
Venus Fuhu sighed and said: "I can't resist you, let's go!"
The two of them stopped talking and took advantage of the night to approach Fahua Mountain. It didn't take long for them to arrive outside the house they had inspected before.
The Shenyue Sect is a large sect after all. The sect leader Mo Wuhen has the cultivation level of the Tribulation Realm, so he has set up defensive restrictions around it. Once someone approaches, these restrictions will be triggered.
But how could such a restriction stop Liang Yan?
Liang Yan made a magic trick, and ripples appeared in the surrounding space. His figure gradually disappeared, and his breath disappeared.
Even the aura of Lord Fuhu was hidden by him.
Immediately afterwards, he patted the Taixu Gourd on his waist again, and saw a mechanism puppet flying out, it was Hongwu who had been in seclusion for many years.
Raising an army for a thousand days is spent in a moment. Hongwu has studied the "Secret Scroll of Tiangong" in Tianji Pavilion for many years, and has become proficient in mastering the puppet body and can break the restrictions of various institutions.
"Open a gap in the Shenyue Sect's restrictions and don't alert anyone." Liang Yan ordered softly.
"Okay!"
Hongwu didn't talk nonsense. He controlled the core of the puppet to turn his body into the size of a thumb, and quickly penetrated the restrictions on the periphery of Shenyue Sect.
I saw the surrounding glow flickering slightly, then extinguished in a blink of an eye, without disturbing anyone.
After a while, a narrow crack was torn open in the front restriction, allowing only one person to pass.
“Let’s go in!”
Liang Yan signaled Master Fuhu with his eyes to take the lead in passing through the crack, and the latter quickly followed and got in with him.
The two returned to the Shenyue Sect's mansion.
It is said to be a house, but it occupies a very large area. At least more than a hundred people live on the top of the mountain. They are all core members of the Shenyue Sect. It is more appropriate to describe it as a palace.
“Shen Qiuyue’s cave is on the west side!”
According to their previous memories, the two concealed their presence and headed west, and soon saw a vermilion attic under the cliff. .
"There are formations arranged around the attic and I can't see through the scene inside." Venerable Fuhu pondered.
"This formation is extraordinary. Even the moonlight is blocked. A monk with the 'Holy Body of the Divine Moon' actually sets up a formation to block the moonlight. Don't you think it's strange?" Liang Yan's eyes widened. Narrowed his eyes slightly.
“It really doesn’t make sense.” Venerable Fuhu nodded.
"Go in and see if there are any other clues."
Liang Yan looked around and made sure that no Shenyue Sect monks were passing by, so he released Hongwu again.
It only took Hongwu a moment to break the restrictions outside Shen Qiuyue's cave without causing any abnormalities.
Liang Yan and Master Fuhu flashed and appeared in the attic the next moment.
Looking around, I saw many decorative objects in the attic, some exquisite and small, some gorgeous and dazzling. There are also various spices, which are very rich, as if you are in a sea of flowers.
Venerable Fuhu frowned.
He is a Buddhist monk. There is only a solitary lamp, a futon, and a volume of Buddhist scriptures in his cave all year round, and nothing else.
"Shen Qiuyue is already the True Monarch of Tongxuan, so why are there still these common things around her? This cave doesn't look like a place for cultivation, but she herself is more like a wealthy daughter in the secular world." Venerable Fuhu shook his head. sighed.
Liang Yan walked slowly in the room without comment, his consciousness spreading out, and he carefully inspected every inch.
"Some things may be just appearances, and the meaning of their existence is to conceal the deeper truth."
While speaking, Liang Yan stopped in front of a wooden statue.
It was a milky white strange bird with sharp eyes and it looked like it was flying high.
It was unremarkable, with no spiritual energy flowing at all, but Liang Yan felt something was wrong.
He observed it intently for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his right hand and lightly hooked it on the strange bird's neck, and a silk thread was wrapped around his fingertips.
This silk thread has no color and looks somewhat similar to the tassels on Shen Qiuyue's clothes.
Liang Yan frowned slightly, and when he was about to take a closer look with his spiritual consciousness, the thread turned into a gentle breeze and dissipated at his fingertips.
“Huh?”
Liang Yan's heart stirred, and he was keenly aware of something. He was about to speak, but when he heard a neighing sound, the strange bird statue in front of him actually moved!
A fierce and domineering aura locked onto him, the strange bird flapped its wings fiercely, and hundreds of gusts of wind were as sharp as knives, slashing towards him!
Because the distance was too close, Liang Yan had no time to dodge, so he could only activate the "Babu Yanyuan" and use Buddhist golden light to protect his whole body.
Dang Dang Dang!
Just hearing a series of crisp sounds, those strong winds hit Liang Yan's golden light shield, and they were all shattered. None of them could penetrate the defense.
But the attack of the strange bird was not over yet. Gang Feng was in front and turned into a blue glow, rushing towards Liang Yan's position like a sharp sword.
“Hmph!”
Liang Yan snorted coldly, and slapped his right palm suddenly. The Vajra power was concentrated in his palm, and he slapped the strange bird on the forehead.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the strange bird was knocked out of its direction by him and passed by Liang Yan. But the strange bird didn't seem to be injured. It turned around in mid-air, and its feathers poured down like a torrential rain. It turned into sunlight again and rushed toward Liang Yan.
"The defense is so high?"
Liang Yan was slightly surprised, but his movements did not stop.
I saw him pointing his swords together, and a sword energy suddenly thrust out, hitting the strange bird in the eye.
Bang!
The sword energy shot out the strange bird's eyeballs, but no blood flowed out. Instead, a continuous sound of "Click! Click! Click!" was heard, as if some mechanism was stuck.
“It’s a puppet!”
Venus Fuhu also saw the clues at this time.
Liang Yan sneered. The sword energy rushed left and right inside the strange bird according to his will, and soon destroyed all the parts inside.
The next moment, the strange bird fell from mid-air, and all the feathers in the sky disappeared.
Liang Yan raised his hand and moved the "corpse" of the strange bird to his side, then slashed it with his sword energy and cut it in the middle.
There are indeed puppet parts inside. Various exquisite mechanisms are connected by a kind of transparent silk thread, which looks very complicated.
"This is a master." Venerable Fuhu said with a serious face: "Although this puppet itself is not powerful, even I can't understand the secrets of the puppet contained in it."
"Can a monk at the peak of Tongxuan have such a puppet?" Liang Yan asked.
“It’s hard to say. Some puppets refined by puppet masters will be auctioned in the dark market if they are not used by themselves. As long as there are enough spiritual stones or equivalent exchange items, they can theoretically be exchanged for A powerful enough puppet."
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly, showing a thoughtful look.
“This puppet is used to guard the cave. The order left by its owner should be ‘shoot to kill’. As long as someone enters this place, it will act spontaneously and kill the intruder.” Fu Huzun The author added.
“That’s not right.”
Liang Yan suddenly shook his head and walked to where the strange bird statue was.
“Hongwu, come and take a look.”
Hongwu was summoned again by Liang Yan and turned into a three-inch-long machine man. He was suspended in the air and looked down carefully for a moment.
"There are traces of mechanism skills here, and it seems to be hiding something."
Hongwu murmured to himself, then stretched out ten fingers and fiddled with them in mid-air.
As his fingers danced, the space in front of him began to distort.
About ten breaths, a golden light burst out in front of Liang Yan, and at the same time, a strange rune actually appeared on the originally empty floor!
At this time, Venerable Fuhu finally understood that the role of the puppet was not to protect the cave, but to protect the rune!
“Look carefully!” Liang Yan’s pupils shrank and he reminded in a low voice.
Venus Fuhu looked at it intently and found that more than a hundred silk threads were derived from this rune. They were colorless and transparent, making it difficult for even the consciousness to detect them. If Liang Yan hadn’t reminded him, he would still have Really can't find it!
“What is this?” Master Fuhu asked in surprise.
Liang Yan said nothing.
He attached his spiritual consciousness to these threads, extended them outwards, and found that the end of each thread was connected to a core disciple of the Shenyue Sect.
One of the threads was actually inserted into the back of Mo Wuhen’s head!
“Not good!”
Liang Yan’s face changed drastically, he withdrew his consciousness, and shouted in a low voice: “Pudu Golden Wheel is in danger, we must rush to the pagoda immediately!”
“No way?”
Venerable Fuhu didn't seem to believe it, shook his head and said: "There is a 'jade Buddha mirror' hanging outside the pagoda, which can see through all disguises. Even if the master of the Xuanyin Pavilion, 'Tong Ni', comes in person, he can't hide it." But it's the 'Jade Buddha Mirror'."
Liang Yan sneered: "What if the person who entered was not disguised but was manipulated?"
“Control? There are restrictions outside the Pagoda. Who can control the monks inside through the restrictions?”
“There is no time to explain. Take me to the Pagoda quickly. I know the Pagoda. It's your most secret place in Luo Tianshan, but you have no choice now. If you go too late, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous!" Liang Yan said solemnly.
After hearing this, Venerable Fuhu showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
But he soon made up his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, no matter what decision you make, I, Fuhu, will believe in you!"
"Let's go!"
Venerable Fuhu pinched the secret. The next moment he appeared outside the house.
Liang Yan also came out.
Sixteen law enforcement disciples came forward and heard Venerable Fuhu whisper: "Go and tell the three uncles immediately that something big will happen tonight and prepare for martial law to prevent any unexpected events!"
< br>"Yes!"
Although the sixteen people didn't understand what happened, they didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
Venus Fuhu stopped a few more people.
"Uncle Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Send someone to inform Gui Wujiu, Gu Tian and Bei Mingjing, telling them to prepare in advance. There may be a bloody battle tonight."
Then. After hearing this, several Luo Tianshan disciples were slightly startled, but soon their expressions became serious.
"Don't worry, Uncle Master, we are going to send the message now!"
After saying that, sixteen people activated the escape light at the same time and flew in different directions
Seeing everyone walking away, Liang Yan suddenly asked: "Why don't you let a few fellow Taoists from Luotian Mountain rush to the pagoda?"
"What Taoist Liang doesn't know is that the 'Pudu Golden Wheel' is actually a golden photovoltaic The hub of the magic formation, if what you said is true, once the golden wheel is controlled by someone and breaks away from the core of the formation, the power of the golden photovoltaic magic formation will be reduced by half!"< br>
"So that's it!"
Liang Yan suddenly said: "This person wants to steal the golden wheel to destroy the 'Golden Photovoltaic Demonic Array'! I'm afraid that all the masters in Beiming have already We gathered outside the mountain and waited for the formation to weaken before they stormed in and captured us all!”
“I hope it’s not too late!”
Venerable Fuhu's face was extremely serious: "We rush to Futu Peak immediately. If we can stop it, it would be best. If there is no time to stop it, everyone must be prepared to meet the enemy. I will inform Gui Wujiu, Gutian, and Bei Mingjing The three sub-sages asked them to guard the border because they didn't want the monk Beiming to break through the blockade of the magic circle so easily."
"Well done!"
Liang Yan nodded.
The two of them said no more, pinched the magic formula, and their bodies turned into escaping light, galloping in the direction of the pagoda peak
But they said that the top of the pagoda tower, sixteen volumes Sutras are hung on the four golden walls, which record the most mysterious and profound skills of Luotian Mountain: "The Great Sumeru Sutra of Salvation"!
One of the scrolls is more than ten feet long, hanging from the roof to the floor like a waterfall. It is the general outline of the Great Sumeru Sutra!
Three monks, two men and one woman, sat cross-legged in front of this book of scriptures, meditating attentively.
