Chapter 80 Entering the Battle

Two days later.

On this day, Yixing Pavilion was different from the past. Only gauze and mist were floating, hanging on the treetops, entangled in the corners of the house, and spreading over the mountain road. Colorful clouds can be seen everywhere, and the clouds are steaming and the clouds are bright, and hundreds of birds are coming to pay homage in the mid-air, and the cranes are singing in unison. This feeling and scene can really make people crazy at a glance, like a hazy picture scroll, a fairyland in the sky.

Many disciples and elders who had been in seclusion all year round also came out one after another, either driving spiritual weapons, walking on mountain roads, in groups of three or two, or walking alone. It's just that they are all heading in the same direction, which is Tiance Peak in the middle of Yixing Pavilion.

Today is the first grand event of Yixing Pavilion, the day of the "Miao Calligraphy Conference" held every 50 years.

All monks above the foundation level have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Among them, there are many people with advanced cultivation who want to stand out in the martial arts competition and gain the attention of the sect. However, more monks still rushed to the Supreme Elder's sermon and Qilin Daoguo.

It's just that all this bustling has nothing to do with Liang Yan. At this moment, in the disciple dormitory of the Zhenmai handyman, the door of a room in the right corner was closed tightly. The things inside were neatly packed, but the building was empty. There was not even a single person in the room.

At the mouth of a remote canyon in Yixing Pavilion, sitting on a huge rock, was a middle-aged scholar holding a scroll and wearing a jade pendant around his waist. This man was born with a fair complexion, a square face, big ears, and a mustache on his mouth. At this time, he was reading the book in his hand with concentration on his face.

Suddenly, a yellow light flashed on the jade pendant on his waist, and it started to vibrate spontaneously.

"Huh?"

The middle-aged scholar's expression changed. He lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant at his waist, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why is Tong Baoyu sending the message at this time? Could it be that the breath of the things I planted in advance has been sensed here?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept around, as if looking for something.

Not long after, she seemed to respond to him. Behind a big tree, a small fox beast poked its head out, holding a string in its mouth, with a copper coin tied to the string.

It glanced around with its small eyes, as if after making sure it was safe, it slowly moved out and put the string on the ground. Then he sniffed the copper coins with his nose, and actually showed a hungry expression and licked his lips anthropomorphically.

"How dare you, you evil beast!"

The person who spoke was the middle-aged scholar, whose cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi training. He saw the figure of the little beast from a long distance away. Seeing that it wanted to swallow the copper coins, he couldn't help but burst out drinking.

The little fox beast was indeed frightened by it, and looked towards the source of the sound in a panic, only to see a white-clothed scholar with gleaming eyes and a red face running toward it with an excited expression.

"Ouch" the little beast called out in a low voice, picked up the copper coin string in its mouth, turned around and ran away.

"Don't leave, you evil beast!" The scholar in white shouted and followed closely behind it.

The white-clothed Confucian scholar's surname is Bai Mingze, and he is a registered disciple of the elder who is guarding the place. Due to today's "Miao Calligraphy Ceremony", the supervising elder himself and his foundation-building disciples all went to Tiance Peak, so they had to choose a registered disciple who was in the Qi training period to temporarily guard the place.

But fortunately, this place is located deep inside Yixing Pavilion. There has been no trouble for hundreds of years. Today, I only have half a day to leave, so the elder is relieved.

Besides, Bai Ze has an excellent talent for cultivating Taoism, and his spiritual root is an excellent single-line water spiritual root. In less than twenty years, he has reached the ninth level of qi training, and is not too far away from foundation building.

It's just that because he hasn't been practicing Taoism for a long time, he hasn't gotten rid of some worldly tastes yet. Friends who are familiar with him know that one of his hobbies is to collect these secular antiques, especially the twelve Tianbao copper coins lost by the previous dynasty. It is said that he has collected nine of them, and only the last three are left, which can be said to be his Achilles heel.

"This red fire fox likes to eat copper and iron, and is good at stealing. A few days ago, I heard that Brother Ma, a calligrapher, got a Tianbao copper coin. I was about to ask for it, but unexpectedly it was stolen by this red fire fox. This saved me a lot of time. A lot of effort." Bai Ze thought happily as he chased.

"No! I have to speed up, don't let this beast eat that baby in a hurry!" Bai Ze's face suddenly hardened, and he made a secret in his hand. His speed immediately increased, and the distance between the two was instantly reduced. The distance has shrunk a lot.

Almost at the same time that Bai Ze left, a young man in gray clothes suddenly walked out from behind the big tree. He glanced at Bai Ze's back from the corner of his eye. With a slight smile on his lips, he walked directly to the entrance of the canyon.

This young man in gray is naturally Liang Yan. He used Tianbao copper coins to deceive the disciples who were guarding the formation. Walking all the way inward along the mouth of the canyon, no more than a stick of incense had passed before I heard a faint muffled sound like thunder.

After walking forward for a moment, I discovered that the thunderous sound was actually just a snoring sound.

I saw a giant mountain-like beast sitting at the entrance of the canyon's inward passage. This giant beast has the head of a stag, but its body is like an upright hippopotamus, with short and thick limbs. If it were an exquisite little beast, its appearance would make people laugh, but the one in front of me was three feet tall, sleeping soundly with its back against the canyon wall, and actually blocked the entire narrow passage.

However, Liang Yan seemed to have expected it. He calmly took out a huge wine jar from his storage bag, stretched out his hand to tear open the jar seal, then quickly stepped back and hid behind a huge stone.

As soon as the altar was opened, a strong aroma of wine immediately filled the canyon passage. The giant beast sniffed the air with its nose, and then it seemed to be hooked by something. Before opening its eyes, it got up from the ground, walked step by step towards the wine jar with its two short legs. Come.

When it reached the wine jar, the giant beast finally opened its sleepy eyes, stretched its calves and yawned. Then he sat down on the ground, held up the wine jar with one hand, as if holding a wine glass, and poured all the monkey wine inside into his mouth in one breath.

"belch!"

As the wine entered its throat, the giant beast burped, and a blush suddenly appeared on its face. Then it swayed for a few times before falling backwards. "Boom!" With a sound, the rocks behind him were smashed to pieces.

"It's true!" Liang Yan walked out from behind the big stone, "This giant beast guarding the formation likes monkey wine, but this drink is too bad."

As soon as the giant beast fell, the passage leading into the valley was completely revealed. Liang Yan took out a box of sandalwood from the storage bag and lit it, while holding the antidote he had prepared in his mouth. , slowly walked inside.

As he approached the passage at the entrance of the valley, many green bees suddenly flew out of the mountain walls on both sides. These green bees were as big as fists, and the needle tips of their tails shone with a faint cold light. They were also in groups, at least thousands of them.

But Liang Yan was not afraid at all, and still walked in slowly. The green bees rushed towards him menacingly, but they only reached three feet in front of him, and they fell to the ground as if they were drunk. .

Within a moment, dozens of green bees had fallen around him, and as he continued to walk forward, more green bees continued to fall around him. The green clouds in the sky could not get closer than three feet around him.

When the intoxicating incense burned a third of the way, Liang Yan had already walked out of the canyon passage. He turned around and saw that the green bees in the canyon did not dare to chase out of the passage. They only lingered in the air for a while, then flew back one after another and submerged on the mountain wall of the passage again.

"Senior Brother Zhuo really has a clever plan. Everything here is under his control!" Liang Yan praised sincerely.

He calmed down and looked back.

I saw a large village on the road ahead. The village is quaint, with dry wells, old houses, locust trees, and ancient roads, but there is no one there.

"It seems that this is the big formation used to test the formation disciples. It is such a unique village. Could it be some kind of trapped formation or phantom formation?" Liang Yan thought secretly in his heart and walked into the village. .

The moment he stepped into the village, a breeze seemed to blow behind him. Liang Yan's ears twitched, and he immediately turned around and looked towards the way he came. He saw that the outside of the village was empty and there was no movement at all.

"Strange? What was that uneasy feeling just now?"

Liang Yan looked around suspiciously. His six senses are sharp and his memory is different from ordinary people. Under careful inspection at this moment, he did not notice any changes in the surrounding environment.

"No! Something has changed!"

A strange idea suddenly came to Liang Yan's mind, and when he thought about it, he broke into a cold sweat. He hurriedly took something out of the storage bag and put it in his hand. It was the half-burnt "intoxicating incense".

Liang Yan first put the antidote in his mouth, and then lit the "intoxicating incense" again, only to see curls of sandalwood and green smoke. But the strange thing is that the green smoke does not go upwards, but towards Liang Yan's feet.

"It's not that something has changed." Liang Yan muttered to himself when he saw this: "It's that everything has changed. The whole world has turned upside down!"

"This is not a trapping formation, nor is it a phantom formation, it is a killing formation!"
