Chapter 59 Zhuo Bufan’s Visit
"Only one month!"
Liang Yan felt cold and asked nervously: "Uncle Master, have you seen the details of this technique?"
Zhou Yan and Lin Fei looked at each other with a wry smile.
"Nephew Liang, it's not that you and I, Uncle Lin, don't want to help you. It's just that this thing is really weird. With our ability, we can only seal it temporarily. If you want to eradicate it completely, I'm afraid you have to find another one. It’s a chance.”
There was a bitter smile on Liang Yan's lips, but he still cupped his fists and saluted:
"Thank you to the two uncles for their generous intervention. I am very grateful! It is a great blessing to be able to live for another month. At least it gave me a glimmer of hope."
After hearing this, Lin Fei frowned and said: "Actually, there are some classics on knowledge and knowledge in the Chuan Gong Pavilion. You can go in and check it out. If you can find out what kind of technique you have, you may be able to prescribe the right medicine."
Liang Yan nodded, saluted Lin Fei and Zhou Yan, and then turned around and went out.
Lin Fei looked at Liang Yan's back and sighed: "He is quite a junior. Although he is not qualified enough, he has excellent intelligence and good character. It is a pity that he has a bad fate."
Zhou Yan glanced at him and said: "Everyone has his or her own karma. How can you be the one to worry about the many junior Qi practitioners in Yixing Pavilion? What's more, the kindness that the seniors gave you has long been repaid. Now, you don’t need to blame yourself too much.”
Lin Fei nodded and said no more.
When Liang Yan left Lin Fei's cave, he felt disappointed. He didn't expect that even Lin Fei and Zhou Yan, two masters in the foundation stage, were helpless. How could he, a disciple at the fifth level of Qi training, crack this technique?
I remembered that not long ago, I had spoken boldly, confronting the master of Qin Dao, vowing to break the shackles of destiny and achieve the foundation of the spiritual platform. But not long after, he only had less than a month to live, which was really a huge irony.
"Uncle Lin said that we can go to the Chuan Gong Pavilion to think of a solution. Unfortunately, my previous 'letter order' has been used up. As a handyman disciple, I am not qualified to go in and borrow books again. Although I have been promoted to an outer disciple. It’s a done deal, but I only have one month now, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until that day.”
Liang Yan thought about it all the way and always felt that no matter what, it was a dead end. Just when he was in a state of anxiety, he had unknowingly returned to the Xinglin hut.
Suddenly he felt something. He looked up and saw a person standing in the courtyard. He was wearing a moon-white robe and a Confucian scarf. He looked very handsome and unrestrained, with a sword hanging on his waist. At this moment, he was looking at himself with a smile.
"Junior brother Liang, you're fine!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo!"
The person in front of me is none other than Zhuo Bufan. When Liang Yan saw him, he suddenly remembered that he had been busy with a lot of things recently, and he even forgot to help him refine elixirs. Counting the time he went to Yongle Town to perform tasks, he hadn't seen him for several months.
"Junior Brother Liang's practice is advancing rapidly. We haven't seen him for two or three months, but Junior Brother Liang's aura has become stronger and stronger. I believe he has made great progress in the spiritual path!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo, why bother teasing me? How can I fall into the eyes of Senior Brother Zhuo with my meager skills?" Liang Yan said absently.
Zhuo Bufan smiled slightly and said: "Qualifications are important in cultivating the Tao, but opportunities and hard work are also indispensable. I believe that my junior brother has a firm heart in Taoism and is diligent in his practice. If he gets the opportunity in the future, he will definitely be able to break through his own shackles. , soaring into the sky.”
Liang Yan knew that these were just words for the occasion. He came to him personally probably because of the alchemy matter.
Sure enough, Zhuo Bufan changed the topic and continued: "Junior brother Liang, don't blame me for disturbing your practice. It's just that this 'sword-raising pill' is very important to me. Once I start taking it, I can't interrupt it. Since your last time I have helped me refine the elixirs so far, but there are not many pills left. I would like to ask Junior Brother Liang to help me refine one today. As for the reward, I can increase the Spirit Gathering Pills to five. If Junior Brother Liang has any other requirements, I can also You can bring it up together, these are easy to discuss.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Zhuo, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't protect myself now. I'm afraid that after I refine this furnace, I won't be able to use the next one!"
Zhuo Bufan was shocked after hearing this and asked, "How do you say this?"
Liang Yan did not hide anything. He told him one by one when he and Tang Diexian came down the mountain, how they met the blood madman, how they were infected by the blood madman's secret technique, and his current situation. He only omitted the details of the fight and also explained to him one by one. Some of the secret areas are also briefly mentioned.
When he mentioned that he only had one month left to live, even a man as calm as Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but be shocked.
"Is there such a thing?!" Zhuo Bufan stared at Liang Yan, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The two of them were speechless for a while, and both stayed silent. After a long time, they suddenly heard Zhuo Bufan ask: "Junior Brother Liang, is there any other way to save himself?"
Liang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even the two master uncles in the foundation building period are helpless, and Liang is even more helpless. The most unlucky thing is that my six-year period has not yet expired, and I am still a handyman disciple. Many of the sect's resources are at a loss. There is no way to use it. And when a disaster is approaching, I am only given one month, leaving me with nothing to do."
Zhuo Bufan nodded and suddenly said seriously: "If you say so, Zhuo does have a method, but this method is too deviant. Junior Brother Liang, do you want to listen to it?"
Liang Yan was shocked when he heard this and immediately replied: "Senior Brother Zhuo, please speak clearly!"
"Did you know that there is a treasure in the sect called the Seven-Star Soul-Learning Lamp."
"Seven-star soul-inducing lamp?"
"That's right!" Zhuo Bufan said: "This seven-star soul-inducing lamp is a secret treasure of the divine soul type, which is specially designed to combat filthy evil arts. Ordinary disciples who are illuminated by this lamp can drive away evil spirits, avoid disasters, and nourish the divine soul. Anyone in the sect who is possessed by evil spirits can All disciples who have mastered the art of magic, or who practice spiritual consciousness-type skills, do not want to be illuminated by this lamp. Since the red light group in Junior Brother Liang's body is a kind of evil magic targeting the soul and mind, the Seven-Star Soul-inducing Lamp must be its nemesis!"
"There is such a treasure!" Liang Yan was moved in his heart, but then he smiled bitterly and said: "This treasure is so precious, I guess not every disciple will have the opportunity to be touched by it."
"You are right." Zhuo Bufan nodded and said: "This seven-star soul-inducing lamp is located in a forbidden area of the canyon of the sect. Every five years, the sect will distribute it to the disciples of all walks of life who practice the secret arts of the soul. An invitation letter from the Seven-Star Soul-Inducing Lamp, and the disciples invited must pass a test of each lineage. For example, the disciples of the array lineage need to break the formation, the disciples of the talisman lineage need to fight talismans, and the disciples of the alchemy lineage need to open a furnace to refine elixirs. As for the piano and chess The four disciplines of calligraphy and painting naturally have to show their talents. Only disciples who pass the tests of each discipline can be qualified to enter the canyon and be illuminated by the seven-star soul-inducing lamp."
After hearing this, Liang Yan hurriedly asked: "Then when will the next invitation be issued?"
"Unfortunately, it will take another two years until the Seven-Star Soul-inducing Lamp is released next time."
"What? Then I have no chance!"
Zhuo Bufan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, there is a huge opportunity right now!"
Then he leaned close to Liang Yan's ear and whispered: "The canyon where the seven-star soul-inducing lantern is located has seven entrances, which correspond to seven kinds of tests. Each entrance is guarded by an elder of our sect. It will not be open to the public until it is opened to the public. We will never let anyone in to break through the barrier. But now the Miao Calligraphy Conference is approaching. This is the first grand event of our sect. It is a great opportunity for every monk above the foundation building stage. At that time, these guardian elders will also participate in the Miao Calligraphy Conference. And if he leaves temporarily, his qi training disciples will be on duty for half a day, and this is Junior Brother Liang's only chance."
Liang Yan was shocked after hearing this: "You want me to sneak into the canyon and steal the Seven Star Soul Lamp!?"
Zhuo Bufan nodded and said: "If there is no other way, this is probably the only way for Junior Brother Liang to survive. However, if he is discovered by the sect afterwards, according to the law of the court, although he will not be expelled from the sect or abolish his cultivation, at least he will face a wall. Forty or fifty years are indispensable. As for the choice, it depends on Junior Brother Liang himself."
Liang Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid Liang has no other choice. Facing the wall and being punished is ten thousand times better than dying. As long as he survives, everything may turn around in the future!"
