Chapter 49: Seeking Skin From a Tiger
The face of the man in red was as pale as paper for an instant, and he murmured: "Sure enough, the 'Babu Yanyuan' is a secret that Buddhism does not teach. Since he has passed it on to you, he will naturally be your master."
He murmured to himself, then suddenly thought of something, shivered all over, and asked tremblingly: "Is his old man here too?"
Seeing his scared look, Liang Yan's mind changed quickly and he replied: "He must be here. Master, he said he would take me to find an old friend, and he is nearby now. I came to this spiritual mine out of curiosity, but something strange happened. I fell into an illusion, do you know what happened?"
Liang Yan's original intention was to use the old monk's name to calm the man in red. But the strange thing is that after he said this, the color on this man's face recovered a lot, and his expression was not as panicked as before. He asked in confusion:
"Oh? I've been here for hundreds of years, and I don't know which great god lives on this mountain. I still want the 'Angry Monk' to come and visit me?"
Liang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what he said wrong, so he could only follow his words and say:
"Master only said that he came to visit an old friend. Maybe he is not an expert, but he has an old relationship with Master."
"Hahaha!"
The man in red suddenly laughed: "Boy, do you still want to bluff?"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and asked lightly: "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
"Hmph, you just said that he was nearby, and later you indirectly admitted that he had arrived in the mountains. Little did you know that you had slapped yourself in the face. It is well known to the world that the 'Angry Monk' hates evil. Just now I was in the 'Blood Fiend Training Puppet Realm' How could he not know if he was emitting such great blood-evil power in the mountains? And how could I survive at this moment?"
He paused and then said: "You are so smart that you are fooled by your cleverness. If you say that your master is on his way, he will be here soon. Maybe I really don't dare to do anything to you, so I can only send you out obediently." . But you insist on saying that he is near the mountain, which just means that he is not here! Haha, it’s just that you are smart but don’t have any common sense.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's face darkened and he asked: "Blood Fiend Training Puppet Realm? It seems that the dream I just fell into was the work of my senior, right?"
"That's right!"
The man in red said without hesitation: "Boy, how does it feel to be in the world of mortals? When I was at my peak, I don't know how many people were in my dreams and became my playthings."
At this point, he seemed to remember something and snorted coldly: "If I hadn't been sealed for too long and my cultivation had been greatly suppressed, otherwise you, a junior in the Qi training period, even if you have the magical power of the 'Eight Divisions of Evolution', At this moment, he has become a walking corpse."
Liang Yan saw that even though he was sealed here, he still couldn't see through his cultivation level. He only felt that his whole body was weird, so he didn't dare to be careless at all and asked in a deep voice:
"I have no grievances with my seniors, so why do you want to put me to death for no reason?"
"No injustice or enmity? Hahaha!"
The man in red laughed loudly: "You and I have such a great hatred!"
He laughed for a while, and then said with a gloomy face: "Did you know, ancestor, that I am practicing the Blood Path Technique? I have been imprisoned here for hundreds of years. I finally waited until the power of the seal weakened. I only need to absorb some monks' blood essence and blood for a little while. Once you regain some of your magical powers, you can hopefully get out of trouble."
"I used evil energy to break open a passage before and deliberately leaked out the magic weapon aura here. It didn't take long for me to attract the attention of a passing cultivator. Unexpectedly, he was also a member of the rogue cultivator, and then attracted seven The monks are here. I originally only waited for these seven people to come down and then they could become my blood food, but who would have thought that I would kill you!"
Liang Yan was shocked. Although the hut he and Tang Diexian bought was not far from the spirit mine, it was still some distance away. That night, they had a battle with several black-clothed monks from the Yunyin Society. They didn't expect that this man was underground in the spiritual mine, but he actually knew everything about it. This man's spiritual consciousness was simply unbelievable.
He turned slightly sideways, blocking Tang Diexian behind him, and said in a deep voice: "So, senior is going to vent his anger on us?"
"Vent your anger?"
The man in red shook his head and said: "No, no, I originally wanted to train you two into blood puppets in the dream, and go out to capture other low-level monks for me, so that my ancestor can restore my skills."
"But," he rolled his eyes and put on a smile again: "Since I know that you possess the 'Eight Divisions of Evolution' and other Buddhist secrets that are not taught, now I have a separate choice, which can not only help me get out of trouble, but also It’s also a great opportunity for you!”
"Oh?" Liang Yan said in surprise: "How do you say this?"
"As you can see, I am trapped here by a great Buddhist master. It's just that the bald donkey who sealed me is not much higher than me. The reason why he can suppress me firmly here is to remove him. In addition to these four secret treasures, it is also thanks to the thing above." The man in red said and pointed upward.
Liang Yan followed his finger and looked up, and couldn't help being surprised. He saw a small white jade bottle floating out of thin air there. It was smooth and flawless and emitted a faint light, which was incompatible with the surrounding dark environment.
He had focused all his attention on the man in red before, but he didn't realize there was such a treasure above his head.
The man in red saw his shock in his eyes, but showed a smile of indifference on his lips, and said: "Although that white jade vial is also a rare treasure, it is the same as the content in the bottle. Than...hehe, that's not worth mentioning."
Liang Yan knew that he was deliberately trying to seduce her, so he asked calmly: "Senior, please speak clearly."
Seeing that his eyes were not wavering, the man in red couldn't help but look at him a few more times and said, "What's inside is a drop of true dragon essence and blood!"
"True dragon essence and blood?!" Liang Yan's expression changed.
"That's right! True dragons and phoenixes are all relics of the immortal world. If we trace their origins, they are older than the history of the human race in the wilderness. The old bald donkey went through many hardships and lived and died several times before he obtained a drop of true dragon essence and blood from the outer sea. I didn’t expect that in order to seal me in the end, it would be used here!”
After the man in red said this, he burst into laughter, and his expression was actually a bit proud.
Liang Yan did not interrupt his laughter, but stood there, silently observing the surrounding environment. At the same time, his right hand was behind his back, holding an octagonal compass, with the pointer on it constantly rotating, as if he was looking for something.
After the man in red finished laughing, a sickly blush rose on his face. He coughed twice and continued to say to Liang Yan:
"Boy, your chance has come. You were born with a complex spiritual root. Without external help, it will be difficult to build a foundation in this life. And this true dragon essence and blood has the effect of cleansing the marrow, cutting the veins, and changing the destiny. If you obey With this drop of dragon blood, and supplemented by my blood technique, your achievements in the future will be limitless!"
"Clean the marrow and cut the pulse, and change the fate against the will of heaven."
Liang Yan murmured to himself, and even his breathing became noticeably heavier.
Since he entered the world of cultivation, he has always been limited by his own qualifications. Whether he joins a sect or is promoted to an outer sect, he has experienced many setbacks because of his poor qualifications. If it hadn't been for a chance encounter later and he understood the secret of the "Two Fishes Twin Formation", I'm afraid he would still be a third-level Qi practitioner until now.
Liang Yan took a deep breath, forced down the desire in his heart, stared at the man in red and asked word by word:
"Such a great opportunity, but I don't know what I need to do for my seniors?"
"This is simple. Later I will use all my strength to break the formation, which will inevitably arouse the joint suppression of these four magic weapons. At that time, I will use my great magical power to forcibly break the connection between a magic weapon and the formation. I want you to use this Sneak into this sealing formation and temporarily take the place of the scattered magic weapon. You must know that the entire seal is interconnected. If you become part of the formation, you can easily take the white jade vial above and obtain the true dragon essence and blood. And I can escape without the suppression of the true dragon essence and blood, so it’s a win-win outcome!”
"What a trick!"
Liang Yan nodded and said, "Senior, haven't you ever thought about how I, a junior Qi practitioner, could sneak into such a great sealing formation?"
After hearing this, the man in red smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this. The 'Eight Divisions of Origin' contains the highest Buddhist Dharma and comes from the same source as the Buddhist sealing array here. By then, you only need to use your magic power with all your strength, and you can naturally hide it from the sky. "
"I see. It seems that senior has a plan in mind. However, although this treasure is good, it must be enjoyed with a life. There is a huge gap in strength between senior and me. Once we get out of trouble, I will be the fish on the chopping board, and you will slaughter it."
The man in red was not angry after hearing this, but seemed quite satisfied with it. He nodded and said:
"You are right. In the world of immortality, the strong are respected. It is normal to kill people and seize treasures. Although your kid has a lot of thoughts, he is not like some hypocrite who talks about benevolence and righteousness."
He paused and said: "Okay! In that case, I will teach you a way to survive."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to cast a spell, and saw a stream of red light speeding behind him, followed by a blast in mid-air, illuminating the area.
Liang Yan discovered through the red light that there was actually a blue teleportation circle there.
"This teleportation circle was set up by the old bald donkey to monitor me. The other end of the teleportation circle is the Buddhist sect where he belongs. There are still some incomplete spiritual stones on the magic circle. I will cast a spell to activate them for you. Wait. After you obtain the dragon's blood, you can immediately use this teleportation formation to escape. As for me, the first thing I need to do when I get out is to recover my cultivation. Naturally, I won't take extraordinary risks to chase you, a junior Qi practitioner, so you can rest assured, right? "
After hearing this, Liang Yan still frowned and said, "This matter is of great importance, please allow me, this junior, to think twice."
The man in red became impatient and said coldly:
"Hmph, you think too highly of yourself! I tried to persuade you with good words before, hoping that you would do your best to help me get out of trouble. If you still want to bargain, I can kill you with just a lift of my hand!"
As he spoke, his aura surged, and an unrivaled pressure rushed toward Liang Yan. Although it only took a while, Liang Yan already had big beads of sweat on his head.
He now has no doubt that the man in red can kill him with a flick of his hand.
"Hmph! If I hadn't wanted to train you into blood puppets before, you would have become my blood food the moment you came down. You kid, do you really think you can compete with me? At worst, I will kill you. , and if I wait patiently for the next group of people, as long as I have enough blood food, I will be able to get out of trouble sooner or later!"
"This person is too strong. If we offend him, I'm afraid this is where we will be buried! For the current plan, we can only take one step first and see what happens next."
Liang Yan thought this way, cupped his hands to the man in red, and said with a smile: "Since senior invites me so kindly and there is such an opportunity, I should obey my fate!"
