Chapter 2073: Candle Beast

When Liang Yan heard him mention Linghu Bai, his heart moved and he asked, "Senior, may I ask your name? Are you an old acquaintance of our Wushuang City Lord?"

"Old acquaintance?"

The old man glanced at him and said leisurely: "That's right. When Xiaobai and I met, he had not yet become a saint!"

After Liang Yan heard this, although his expression remained unchanged, he was extremely surprised in his heart.

You must know that there are more than twenty saints in Antarctic Immortal Continent. Among them, Linghu Bai was the earliest to become a saint. It has been a long time of 180,000 years.

Rising stars like Li Yuxian have only been saints for 20,000 to 30,000 years. Although they are both saints, in Linghu Bai's eyes, they may be no different from younger generations.

But the old man in front of him actually said that he had known Linghu Bai before he became a saint. Doesn't this mean...

When Liang Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but look at the old man again, trying to find something unusual about him.

However, no matter how you look at him, he is a slovenly old man with a slovenly appearance, and even has a sense of vulgarity. From an image point of view, he has nothing to do with a saint.

"Humph, I know what you kid is thinking!"

The old man put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, looking proud.

"I have to say that Xiaobai is a little bit handsome, but he is far behind compared to when I was young! Don't look at me now, but back then I was known as the 'Jade-faced Man', better than ten Xiaobais! Then At that time, many fairies made secret promises, but I was surrounded by thousands of flowers and not a single leaf touched my body!"

"Jade-faced Man? Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the senior looks like this now."

"What do you know!"

The old man didn't wait for him to finish speaking and said angrily: "I call this returning to nature. Otherwise, wouldn't it be difficult to change your appearance with my magic power?"

"That's true." Liang Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Senior has a true temperament, but I, this junior, judge others by myself, and I am really inferior."

"That's pretty much it." The old man showed a very helpful expression.

Liang Yan asked again: "Senior hasn't told you your surname yet, how should I call you junior?"

The old man laughed loudly: "My surname is Fu Mingchen. There is a saying: the art of mechanism is mysterious, Zhou Tianyi understands the great road, but love cannot cross people, the Nine Saints of the past are all dead!"

Liang Yan heard something in his heart and blurted out: "Could it be that the senior was one of the 'Nine Saints Slaying Immortals' back then?"

The old man did not answer directly, but said leisurely: "So what if it is, so what if it is not? Saints are not eternal. Over the past 180,000 years, their old friends have gradually withered away. Only a bad old man like me is guarding a water-moon cave. If Xiaobai dies, I'm afraid there will be no more No one comes to see me anymore.”

Liang Yan couldn't help but feel hurt when he mentioned Linghu's death.

But he couldn't figure it out and asked: "Senior is a saint, how can he be trapped in a corner? With your methods, isn't it easy to get out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression of the old man named "Fu Chen" darkened. He seemed to have remembered something from the past and said impatiently: "You are such a nagging kid. You have so many questions that I don't even bother to answer them! Humph, what's wrong with you? The 'Shen Ran Seal' has been solved. If nothing happens, just go down the mountain."

After saying that, he put on a "seeing off" appearance.

Liang Yan said hurriedly: "Senior, please don't be angry. I'm confused. I shouldn't ask about your past, but I still have something important that I want to ask you for help."

"What's going on?" Fu Chen's tone became much calmer.

"I was ordered by Lord Linghu to go to the Ghost Prison to rescue the 'Four Saints'. Seniors must also be aware of this matter. Now the Four Saints have been rescued, but they have been infected with forbidden magic and are unconscious. With the junior's knowledge, There is no way to resolve it, so we have to turn to our seniors for help.”

After hearing this, Fu Chen nodded and said, "Xiao Bai has already arranged this matter, just follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and took a step forward. He was already a hundred feet away.

Liang Yan saw this and hurriedly followed.

The two flew between the mountains, bypassing several towering peaks, came to a canyon, and flew deeper.

As the two of them moved forward, Liang Yan felt that the surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower, and a biting chill permeated the surroundings. This meant that his magic power was not weak, otherwise he would have been frozen halfway.

Fu Chen looked back at Liang Yan, nodded slightly, and showed approval in his eyes.

"Your boy has Hunyuan Golden Pill and Buddhist body refining skills. It's no wonder that you are not afraid of the breath of the 'Candle Yin Beast'."

"Candle Yin Beast?"

Liang Yan's expression moved slightly, and he was about to ask a question when he saw Fu Chen pressing down the escape light and stopping in front of a stone wall deep in the canyon.

"arrive."

Fu Chen said, reaching out and pressing on the wall.

Boom!

There was a dull sound in the rocks, as if there were countless mechanisms turning.

The next moment, the mountain wall split open on both sides, revealing a dark blue crystal palace.

"go in."

After Fu Chen finished speaking, he walked in without looking back.

Seeing this, Liang Yan could only turn down the escape light, followed the old man, and slowly walked into the palace.

Once inside, the cold air became even stronger! Looking around, there are ice crystal jade everywhere, emitting a light blue glow, giving people a dreamy and blurred feeling.

"Well, this is the 'Candle Yin Beast' I'm talking about." Fu Chen pointed forward.

Liang Yan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a huge crystal pillar in the distance that needed a hundred people to hug it. Four animal faces were carved on it: one looked like a cow, one looked like a deer, one looked like a horse, and one of something else. It doesn't look like it at all. It has a red face and a red beard, and its eyes are as wide as bells. It looks like a strange beast from somewhere.

Although these four beast faces are very different, they have one thing in common, that is, they all open their mouths wide and their lower jaws almost reach the ground, like four gates.

Liang Yan concentrated for a moment and discovered that the source of the cold air was indeed this stone pillar.

"Junior is stupid, please give me some advice from senior, what exactly is this 'Candle Yin Beast'?"

"It's my masterpiece!"

Fu Chen came to the crystal pillar and stroked it gently with his hand, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "This is my strongest machine beast. In comparison, the 'Tian Tian Demon Statue' of Emperor Burial is not worth mentioning at all." !”

"A machine beast? How does this look like a machine beast?" Liang Yan cursed in his heart.

Fu Chen glanced at him and hummed: "Young man doesn't understand the mysteries of the mechanism. It's useless to explain it to you. Please invite all the 'Four Saints' out and start breaking the seal for them now."

After hearing this, Liang Yan was a little confused, but he still did as he said and patted the Taixu gourd lightly.

Suddenly, rays of light flew, and four figures appeared on the ground. They were the Four Saints who had been imprisoned in the ghost prison for many years.

These four people closed their eyes tightly and sat cross-legged. The auras they exuded were minimal, and there was no trace of the aura of a saint.

Fu Chen's eyes swept across the four people in turn.

"Ying Ronger, the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Lu Wuhuan, the master of the Shenxiao Mountain, Zhongli Canye, the master of the Tianmo Mountain, and the angry monk from Kuzhou. It's a pity that they were all saints who were powerful in the world, but now they have become like this A different look.”

After Liang Yan heard this, he immediately asked: "How is it? Can senior treat me?"

Fu Chen rolled his eyes: "If I can't save you, will I bring you here to play?"

"Senior, please forgive me, I was impatient."

"snort!"

Fu Chen didn't look at him, took out four pills from the storage ring, and fed them into the four saints' mouths one after another.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his sleeves, and hundreds of green vines immediately grew in mid-air, and soon wrapped around the four saints.

Liang Yan had been watching attentively. He found that these vines were full of vitality and could secrete a magical juice that slowly entered the bodies of the Four Saints and began to heal their injuries.

"Okay, now we need to put the Four Saints into the body of the Zhuyin Beast." Fu Chen ordered.

"Um?"

Liang Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How to store it?"

"Just put it in your mouth."

Fu Chen said, pointing with his hand, the unconscious Lu Wuhuan rose into the air, and soon came to the cow's face.

The next moment, Lu Wuhuan turned around in mid-air, entered Niu Lian's mouth, and sat down cross-legged inside.

Boom!

After Lu Wuhuan sat down, his big bull-faced mouth slowly closed, like a stone door being completely closed.

Next, Fu Chen cast spells one after another, putting Ying Ronger into Lu Lian's mouth, and Zhong Li Can Ye into Ma Lian's mouth. The two big mouths were also closed, and their breath could no longer be sensed from the outside.

Among the Four Saints, only the Angry Monk was still sitting outside.

Fu Chen sighed: "He is your master, you can do it yourself."

"Um."

Liang Yan nodded and walked slowly to the angry monk without hesitation.

He has already seen how extraordinary this "Candle Yin Beast" is. The interior seems to be a large medicine pool, and the four big mouths are actually four entrances.

"Master."

Liang Yan looked at the haggard face of the angry monk, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

"You have suffered over the years. No matter what method I use, I will definitely restore your consciousness."

Thinking of this, Liang Yan bent down and carried the angry monk on his back.

He didn't use magic power, just carried the angry monk's body and slowly walked to the "Candle Yin Beast".

Of the four beast faces, only the "four dissimilarities" were left. When Liang Yan put the angry monk's body into his mouth, the last big mouth slowly closed.

Fu Chen quickly came to the edge of the crystal pillar, raised his hand and cast a spell, and a gap opened above the crystal pillar.

Instantly, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air!

"Xiao Bai has prepared these for a long time, but the injuries of the Four Saints are far beyond our original expectations. I'm afraid these medicinal materials alone may not be enough."

Fu Chen pondered for a moment, took out a cloth bag, and pulled out a bunch of natural and earthly treasures. Many of them were things Liang Yan had never heard of, but they seemed ordinary to him, and he threw them all into the body of the "Candle Yin Beast".

"Well, that's almost it."

Fu Chen nodded to himself, and then cast a spell to close the entrance to the medicinal materials.

Then, he stretched out his right hand, poured mana into his palm, and gently patted the crystal pillar.

At this moment, the saint's aura was clearly revealed, and the strong pressure made Liang Yan take a step back involuntarily.

He took a closer look and saw seven different colors of runes appearing on the crystal pillar. These runes were flickering, sometimes shining brightly, sometimes dimming, and their positions were constantly changing.

"Is this a secret of the agency?"

Liang Yan observed secretly and found that there were many mysteries that he could not understand with his current knowledge.

But one thing is for sure, this mechanism secret technique has many similarities with the inheritance of Tianji Pavilion. Although it is not exactly the same, there is definitely something for reference. Maybe this Fu Chen is related to Tianji Pavilion back then?

Neither of them spoke. One was focused on controlling the "Candle Yin Beast", while the other was secretly observing. The huge palace fell into silence for a moment.

Half an hour later, the seven runes on the crystal pillar finally stopped flickering and their positions were fixed.

Fu Chen retracted his palm with a thoughtful look on his face.

Seeing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what trouble did you encounter?"

Fu Chen came back to his senses, glanced at Liang Yan, and said slowly: "I have used secret techniques to break the seals in their bodies. Now I only need to rest in the body of the 'Candle Yin Beast' for ten days to repair the injuries. Will wake up one after another.”

After hearing this, Liang Yan felt excited, but he soon discovered that something was wrong with Fu Chen's expression.

"What's wrong? Is there an accident?"

"It's not an accident."

Fu Chen sighed: "Actually, Xiaobai had made a guess before, but he didn't expect that Ying Ronger, Zhongli Canye, and Lu Wuhuan could all return to their prime, except the angry monk."

"Why?!" Liang Yan blurted out.

"Alas, the Burial Emperor dug up the 'Vajra Buddha Bones' of the Angry Monk, causing his power to be greatly damaged. Even if he can regain consciousness, he will probably be extremely weak."

When Liang Yan heard this, he felt a lump in his chest and anger rushed to his forehead.

"Burial of the Heavenly Emperor"

He gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "In other words, if you want my master to completely recover, you must enter Tiangong City and get back his 'Vajra Buddha Bones'?"

"Not bad." Fu Chen nodded.

"knew."

Liang Yan's expression quickly calmed down.

He glanced at Fu Chen and suddenly asked: "Senior Fu, where is the 'Nine Clouds'?"

This question was asked very abruptly. Fu Chen was slightly startled after hearing this, with an obvious look of surprise on his face.

He stood there, looked at Liang Yan again, and suddenly laughed after a moment: "Haha! It seems that Xiaobai is right, you and he are the same kind of people, you have guessed this! Yes, 'Nine Chongyun' is In my Shuiyue Cave, there is the inheritance left to you by Xiaobai."

Liang Yan was not surprised by his answer and asked: "What is the inheritance?"

"The essence and blood of the Hell-Suppressing Fire Phoenix!"

"Phoenix blood?" Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

Fu Chen chuckled: "The Hell-Suppressing Fire Phoenix and the Immortal Dragon are both ancient true spirits. The former focuses on offense and the latter focuses on defense. If the essence and blood of the two can be fused with each other, not only will one's own defense be greatly improved, but the power of spells and supernatural powers will also be greatly improved. multiply."

Liang Yan didn't speak after hearing this. He stood there and pondered for a long time. During this period, his lips moved slightly, as if he was mumbling to himself.

At the end, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "I see, I understand what he meant."

Fu Chen also had deep meaning in his eyes and nodded: "Only you can accomplish this."

"Um."

Liang Yan smiled casually, cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please teach me the secret technique of 'Tiangong Shenwu'."
