Chapter 2190 Night Visit to the Sutra Library
"Fellow Taoists who are not on the list don't be discouraged."
Yuan Qianfan always has a smile on his face: "The holy path is elusive. No matter what your talent or qualifications are, as long as you work hard, there is always a chance. In comparison, I am just a withered bone in the grave. There is no hope for the holy path in this life. I can only I wish you all the best, and I hope you all get what you want.”
Those monks who were not on the list were originally extremely depressed, but after hearing these words, they couldn't help but feel better.
Although their cultivation level is not as good as Yuan Qianfan's, there is always a chance of becoming a saint. Although this chance is extremely slim, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in ten thousand, but it can become their thoughts and use to comfort themselves.
"This Danping Conference is over here. Fellow Taoists can stay on the island for a few days. As for the monks on the list, someone will deliver the elixir to your cave later."
After Yuan Qianfan finished speaking, he turned to look at Hu Quandou, Shen Biyou and Yuhua Empress.
"The Heaven-Building Pill will be released at midnight tonight. Please come to Xuanji Cave on time, three fellow Taoists. If the time is exceeded, the Heaven-Building Pill will be ineffective."
"Haha, Hu must be here on time! I would like to thank the island owner first." Hu Quandou was in high spirits at this time and spoke with the loudest voice.
In contrast, Shen Biyou and Empress Yuhua just nodded slightly and responded.
"Okay, let me take you fellow Taoists out."
Yuan Qianfan raised his hand and a white lotus flew out of Jiuyuan Lake and returned to his sleeve.
After Bai Lian left Jiuyuan Lake, the glow on the lake gradually dissipated, and everyone's reflections disappeared.
At the same time, the surrounding clouds and mist rolled and re-condensed into the White Jade Square below the crowd, exactly the same as before.
"rise!"
Yuan Qianfan made a magic trick, and the square quickly rotated, and then lifted everyone up into the sky.
The surrounding void shattered, and countless chaotic space storms appeared, but they could not get close to the square and were always blocked outside.
After a while, the chaotic space power gradually returned to stability, and the square stopped rotating.
Everyone looked around and saw that the surroundings were white, and they were back above the previous sea of clouds, as if the journey to the abyss just now was just a dream.
"The conference has ended, please help yourself." Yuan Qianfan chuckled.
"Thank you, the island owner, for the pill. I'll take my leave first."
Everyone left one after another, and soon everyone was gone.
On the square, only Yuan Qianfan, Wang Ping, Hua Qingdai and other Xuanji Island monks were left. There were six of them in total, each with an extraordinary aura.
"Island owner, that Ximenhai area just now..." Wang Ping, the deputy island owner, hesitated to speak.
"hehe."
Yuan Qianfan chuckled: "What happened to Ximen Hai?"
Wang Ping considered it for a moment and said slowly: "Then Ximen Hai has mediocre qualifications. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a golden reflection to appear. This Jiuyuan Lake...is it a mistake?"
Speaking later, the voice became lower and lower.
You must know that Xuanji Island has been inherited for countless thousands of years. Jiuyuan Lake has always been the most sacred place, and the people on the island will never question it.
But Wang Ping has a full understanding of Ximen Hai and knows that this person has mediocre qualifications and average strength. If he just has good luck, he shouldn't give such a high evaluation.
After hearing this, Yuan Qianfan did not answer immediately, but looked at the other party with a meaningful look.
After a while, the owner of Xuanji Island smiled and said: "Wang Ping, I have to remind you. Don't ask about some things that you shouldn't ask. This is also for your own good."
After hearing this, Wang Ping's face changed slightly, as if he understood something.
"My subordinate asked this question too much, please forgive me, the island master!"
"take it easy."
Yuan Qianfan chuckled: "You are all the pillars of Xuanji Island. As long as you do your part, Yuan will never treat you badly. In addition, don't look at things you shouldn't see, and don't inquire about things you shouldn't. inquire about."
"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison.
After a moment, Zhou Chuan suddenly said: "Island Master, I have something to report to you."
"explain."
"During this period, I have been in contact with the monk named 'Liu Xundao' several times. He is a well-spoken man, and his cultivation methods are not weak. Before, I saw with my own eyes that he easily resolved the superior secret method of Tianyi Sect. . But his reflection is gray, is there something weird in it?"
Wang Ping raised his eyebrows: "Brother Zhou means that he used secret methods to block the detection of Jiuyuan Lake?"
"It's possible." Zhou Chuan said solemnly.
Next to her, Hua Qingdai frowned slightly: "I have also been in contact with this person. The island owner should know that I have practiced the 'Soul-Captivating Heart Technique'. This technique does not need to be activated deliberately. The body is naturally charming, and both men and women will know it when they see it. I was affected to a certain extent, but when I was at Moyun Villa, this person didn’t react when I looked at him, but I felt a cold and chilling feeling from the bottom of my heart!”
After listening to everyone's discussion, Yuan Qianfan put his hands behind his back, looking thoughtful.
"You've made a good analysis... To be honest, this person is the person I can't understand the most in this Pindan Conference."
"But his reflection is gray, which is not popular..." Wang Ping frowned.
"Could it be that he is too unlucky and is about to suffer a disaster?" Zhou Chuan expressed his guess.
Yuan Qianfan didn't speak. He pondered for a long time, and then he said leisurely: "Actually... gray doesn't necessarily mean that it's not popular."
After everyone heard this, they all showed surprise.
"Jiuyuan Lake has five colors: gold, red, purple, green and gray. Isn't gray the lowest?" Hua Qingdai asked doubtfully.
Yuan Qianfan looked into the distance, narrowed his eyes and said: "The ancestors left Jiuyuan Lake as a treasure to control the island. They once warned the descendants: This Jiuyuan Lake detects the innate avenue. If someone forms a world of his own in the body, , independent of the Three Thousand Avenues, Jiuyuan Lake cannot be detected, and the result is also gray..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Wang Ping, Zhou Chuan, Hua Qingdai and others looked at each other and saw expressions of disbelief on each other's faces.
"Could it be that he..."
"hehe."
Yuan Qianfan suddenly chuckled and said lightly: "This possibility is too small, probably only one in a billion. It has never been encountered since the establishment of Xuanji Island. I think it may simply be his luck. It’s bad, so it’s gray.”
After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ping smiled and said: "Let me just say, how can there be such a defiant person in this world? I don't think he can achieve 80%. There is nothing wrong with the evaluation given by Jiuyuan Lake."
Hua Qingdai said: "No matter what, I have sent people to investigate secretly. I believe we will get his information soon."
"Well done."
Yuan Qianfan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Wang Ping: "Follow me to the Xuanji Cave tonight to start refining the elixir. This Tian Mending Pill is unique to our Xuanji Island. It is an important resource used to make good friends with all parties. There must be no mistakes. "
"Island owner, don't worry, I will definitely go on time." Wang Ping said solemnly.
"It's all gone."
Yuan Qianfan waved his sleeves, his body turned into light, and he quickly left the White Jade Square.
…
But Liang Yan left the Pindan Conference and returned to his cave.
Although he gained nothing from this trip, he got a useful piece of information.
Baixiao layman will open the furnace to get the elixir at midnight tonight!
This short gap will be the best time for him to sneak into the Sutra Pavilion!
"Whether we can find out the clues to the seventh difficulty depends on tonight. I hope the inheritance of Xuanji Island will not disappoint me..." Liang Yan muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes.
Next, he meditated and adjusted his breath in the cave and never went out again.
Time flew by and it was late at night in a blink of an eye.
It was already the fifth hour of Hai hour, less than half an hour before midnight. Yuan Qianfan and Wang Ping should have gone to Xuanji Cave by this time.
In the darkness, Liang Yan opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with light.
"After coming here for so long, I can finally take action... Ni Jiayue, please come out too."
As soon as he finished speaking, a skinny man with long hair slowly emerged from the shadows behind him.
"Do you need me?" Ni Jia asked with a smile.
"You don't need to go to the Sutra Pavilion. You go to the Xuanji Cave and help me keep an eye on Master Baixiao. If there is any trouble, let me know immediately." Liang Yan said solemnly.
"Okay."
Ni Jiayue chuckled, and his body slowly melted like black water, quickly blending into the surrounding shadows, and finally disappeared...
Liang Yan pondered for a moment, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and used the Tianji Pearl to hide his aura.
Then, he walked out of the cave and flew straight to the location of the restriction.
Ni Jiayue told Liang Yan all the information earlier. Based on the information, Liang Yan avoided various detections on Xuanji Island. Even if some restrictions were unavoidable, he could easily deal with them with his methods.
Just like this, sneaking silently, about a quarter of an hour later, Liang Yan arrived outside a hidden valley.
The entire valley is shrouded in a layer of mist, and there are mysterious restrictions on the outside. There are not just one kind of restrictions, but nine!
Nine types of restrictions with different attributes are mutually reinforcing and compatible with each other, affecting the whole body. Even if the sub-sage comes, it will be difficult to break it.
"Xuanji Island's methods are really extraordinary!"
Liang Yan praised it sincerely, then released his consciousness and looked at it intently for a moment.
He discovered that the restrictions were intertwined with each other. Although he could forcibly break them with his own methods, there was no guarantee that they would not cause disturbance.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Yan suddenly slapped the Taixu gourd and shouted: "Hongwu!"
The glow of the Taixu Gourd flashed, and a moment later a machine puppet flew out, it was Hongwu!
After so many years, Hongwu has already thoroughly studied the "Tiangong Secret Scroll" and is good at manipulating the puppet body to break the agency's restrictions.
"Help me weaken this layer of restrictions. The smaller the noise, the better." Liang Yan whispered.
"clear."
Hongwu nodded, the mechanisms inside his body rotated "click, click, click", and after a moment, eight mechanism arms stretched out from his back.
He inserted these arms into the barrier one by one, but there was no response from the heavily defended restrictions...
As Hong Wu fiddled with it, the glow of the barrier became lighter and weaker, and the nine different restrictions gradually fell apart, and in the end there was even a crack!
"Good opportunity!"
Liang Yan saw the right moment and pierced the crack with a chaotic sword energy, which instantly widened the crack, revealing an accessible passage.
There was no change in the whole process.
Liang Yan looked excited, and with a move of his hand, he took Hongwu beside him, and then turned into a ray of light and penetrated into the barrier of the valley.
After entering the valley, Liang Yan did not take it lightly.
The fact that Xuanji Island has been able to stand for many years without falling shows that Yuan Qianfan is by no means an ordinary person. Such an important place must be well-defended, and there is no way it can only be restricted by the outer layer.
Therefore, Liang Yan was extra careful.
He released all his consciousness and carefully explored the surrounding plants and trees. At the same time, he asked Hongwu to use the art of mechanism to detect the traps around him.
The two of them joined forces and indeed found many tricky traps, which they finally cracked together.
They soon entered the depths of the valley.
There were many halls and pavilions here, and plaques were hung on each building, with words such as "Treasure Hall", "Dan Room", "Spiritual Medicine Garden" and so on.
The most precious resources of Xuanji Island were all presented to Liang Yan. As long as he wanted to take them, he could empty the place now.
But Liang Yan pondered for a moment and finally gave up these treasures.
The biggest purpose of his trip was to figure out his seventh difficulty, and he didn't want to make a big fuss. If he robbed this place, Xuanji Island would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
Without knowing the forces behind Xuanji Island, Liang Yan didn't want to cause trouble.
"Let's figure out the seventh difficulty first!"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan's eyes turned and soon fell on one of the vermilion attics.
There was a plaque hanging above the attic, with four big characters: "The sea accepts hundreds of rivers"!
According to Liang Yan's intuition, this should be the Sutra Pavilion.
He walked straight to the attic without hesitation, and at the same time released his spiritual sense to carefully check the attic inside and out.
Fortunately, there was no mechanism or restriction set inside the attic.
Liang Yan pushed the door directly and entered.
As soon as he entered the attic, he smelled a strong smell of books.
Looking around, he found that there was a different world here, with a radius of dozens of miles. Thousands of bookshelves were floating in the air, and each bookshelf had hundreds of books.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan's eyes showed a hint of excitement.
"Xuanji Island is indeed profound, and the collection of books is vast! It should not disappoint me."
Thinking of this, he immediately started to flip through the books.
Soon, Liang Yan found that the books here were roughly divided into six areas. The closest to the door was the Gongfa area, which included thousands of Gongfa, and even Taoist and Confucian classics, and the quality was surprisingly not low!
In addition to the techniques, some areas are dedicated to collecting mysterious secrets, some are dedicated to collecting pill recipes and alchemy experience, some are dedicated to collecting weapon refining experience, and some record strange stories...
In the last area, it turned out to be the insights and experience left by the old man Xuanji!
Liang Yan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately took out a bamboo slip from the bookshelf and stuck it on his forehead.
"The great way is like a river, invisible and nameless, and its flow is not the water of rivers, but the changes of all things in the world..."
Mysterious and profound insights appeared in Liang Yan's sea of consciousness.
But unfortunately, there is no story about disasters here.
After reading, Liang Yan put the bamboo slip back intact and reached for the next secret scroll...
