Chapter 60 Three Things
Zhuo Bufan was not surprised at all by Liang Yan's answer. He nodded and said, "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Besides, Junior Brother Liang is extremely talented in the formation line. It is unknown whether the pavilion master may give him a lighter punishment in the future."
Liang Yan bowed respectfully to Zhuo Bufan and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for your guidance. Please also inform me of the location of the canyon. When the Miao Calligraphy Ceremony is held, I will take the risk."
Zhuo Bufan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, if you want to enter the canyon, you need to pass one of the seven tests, and with Junior Brother Liang's talent, he must choose the 'break the formation' path. But if you want to break the formation smoothly, , you still have to prepare three things."
Liang Yan said: "Oh? I wonder which three items they are?"
Zhuo Bufan said: "They are monkey wine, intoxicating incense and Tianbao copper coins. With these three things, you can successfully enter and break the formation, otherwise it is just empty talk."
After hearing this, Liang Yan scratched his head and said, "Junior brother has little knowledge. I don't know any of the three things that Senior Brother Zhuo mentioned. Could you please help Brother Zhuo shed some light on this?"
"Of course." Zhuo Bufan nodded and said: "This first spirit monkey wine is brewed by a spirit animal called the amount of monkey. It has a mellow and sweet taste, and it also has the effect of nourishing spiritual energy for ascetics. This amount of wine The spirit monkeys themselves are not very strong, they are usually at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training, but they usually live in groups in the mountains and forests and are good at group combat, so they are still very difficult to deal with."
"I wonder where monkeys of this size usually live?" Liang Yan interjected and asked.
"The Monkey King is not uncommon. It is found in all parts of the Zhao Kingdom. The closest one to us is Pingfeng Mountain in the west. It takes almost three days for my junior brother to travel."
Zhuo Bufan paused, then continued: "As for this second intoxicating fragrance, it is the unique secret of Wenxiang Sect, a small cultivation sect in Zhao State. This Wenxiang Sect is mostly women, and they are good at many heresies. They are not a good person. Junior Brother Liang must be especially careful with the sects we deal with.”
Liang Yan nodded and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me, where is the Wenxiang Sect?"
Zhuo Bufan said: "Wenxiang Sect is far away from here. Even if we fly, it will take six or seven days. I am afraid that my junior brother will not be able to catch up with the Miao Calligraphy Conference for a round trip. But what a coincidence, there are several people from Zhao Kingdom recently. The small cultivation sects are jointly organizing an exchange meeting, and the Wenxiang Sect has also sent people to participate, and the exchange meeting is held on Pingfeng Mountain. Since this intoxicating incense is their unique secret recipe, it will definitely bring about exchanges Some other resources.”
"So, Liang is just lucky." Liang Yan laughed to himself.
"Haha, the so-called Great Dao is fifty, Heaven's Evolution is forty-nine, and humans can escape one of them. Although Heaven is ruthless, there is a glimmer of hope in everything. I guess this is the glimmer of hope that Heaven has left for you."
After hearing this, Liang Yan shook his head and said, "Brother Zhuo, stop teasing me. Let's talk about the third thing."
Zhuo Bufan touched his nose and said with a smile: "This third item is a Tianbao copper coin, but it is not a spiritual treasure, but an antique in the secular world. In the secular world of Zhao State, the previous emperor once recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the country to supplement it. Many precious materials were used to cast a total of twelve copper coins, which were known as 'Tianbao Copper Coins' in history. Later, after the demise of the former dynasty, these twelve copper coins were scattered among the people and became extremely precious antique playthings."
"The Zhao State is so big, how could it be possible to find this Tianbao copper coin in such a short time?"
"Otherwise!" Zhuo Bufan shook his head and said: "As far as I know, there is a disciple named Ma among the calligraphers. It seems that he got a Tianbao copper coin last year. As long as this person is willing to give in, it will be twice the result with half the effort."
"That's it!" Liang Yan suddenly said.
"This is basically the situation." Zhuo Bufan continued: "No matter what your junior brother plans, you must take countermeasures early and go back as soon as possible. It is less than half a month before the Miao Calligraphy Ceremony is held. If you miss this opportunity, wait until the guardian elder comes back , Junior Brother Liang will never have any chance again."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhuo, for reminding me!" Liang Yan's face became solemn, and then he bowed his head to Zhuo Bufan and said seriously: "Senior Brother Zhuo, I can't thank you enough for telling me. If I am lucky enough to save my life this time, I will definitely serve Zhuo Bufan in the future. Senior brother, if you do these three things, you will be willing to go through all kinds of swords and fires, no matter how hard it is!"
Zhuo Bufan smiled and pulled Liang Yan up, patted his shoulder and said, "Junior Brother Liang doesn't have to be like this! I also want Junior Brother to live as long as possible. If Junior Brother is gone, who should I turn to to make elixirs?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing more. Zhuo Bufan raised his hand to sacrifice the Dingguang Sword. After the two rushed back to Cuizhu Peak, Liang Yan re-deployed the spirit gathering array for Zhuo Bufan and helped him start the alchemy furnace.
Considering Liang Yan's special situation, he practiced twice as many elixirs as usual this time. At least in the next few months, Zhuo Bufan will not be short of elixirs. This is also Liang Yan's own intention. After all, he will not be short of elixirs this time. It can be said that it was a desperate matter. Once it failed, it would be the end of death. Zhuo Bufan was not related to him, but he was so helpful to him. He was very grateful in his heart.
After leaving Zhuo Bufan's cave, Liang Yan rushed to Lin Fei's residence without stopping. Lin Fei was obviously stunned when he saw Liang Yan for the second time in one day. After Liang Yan explained his purpose, Lin Fei nodded silently.
"Old senior, I have helped as much as I should, and I hope that the junior you are interested in will be a good person!" Lin Fei looked at Liang Yan's leaving figure and said silently.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
At the entrance of the valley of Yixing Pavilion, lying on a huge rock, was a drunkard with his breasts exposed. He holds a wine gourd in his left hand and a paintbrush in his right hand. There is a landscape painting of flowers and birds on the mountain wall in front of him.
The drunkard took a sip from the gourd of wine, raised the brush in his hand, and actually drew a stroke on the mountain wall from a distance. This stroke was like the finishing touch, and the entire painting on the mountain wall seemed to come alive, with waterfalls flowing down. , the mountains are looming in the clouds and mist, the flowers are blooming quietly, and the birds are chirping crisply, as if they are about to fly out of the painting.
The drunk man looked at it carefully for a moment, and finally grinned, seeming quite satisfied.
At this moment, a young man walked out from the mouth of the valley, wearing linen gray clothes and a straw hat. He was walking in a hurry, like a rural boy.
When the young man walked ten feet in front of the drunkard, he stopped and said respectfully: "Zhenmai handyman disciple Liang Yan has gone down the mountain to purchase goods on the orders of my uncle. Please let me go."
The drunk man just glanced at him and returned his gaze to the mountain wall. He said calmly: "Since I am acting under orders, can I have a letter?"
Liang Yan nodded and said, "Of course." He took out an envelope from his arms.
When the drunk man saw this, he raised his hand and the envelope flew out of Liang Yan's hand, flew through the air and landed lightly in the drunk man's hand.
He opened the envelope and looked at it for a while, then murmured in his mouth: "Well, it turns out that little guy Lin Fei, why does he want you, a handyman disciple, to handle such a thing? You should know that the rules in the sect are: unless you are promoted to the outer sect, Disciple, otherwise you won’t be able to go down the mountain easily.”
Liang Yan was well prepared for this and replied calmly: "Because the Miao Calligraphy Association is approaching, the masters and elders above the foundation level in the sect are very busy, and the disciples under Master Lin are also busy with their own affairs, so purchases like this are not important." The task of making things is temporarily handed over to the disciples."
As soon as he said this, the drunk man's old face turned red for no reason. Liang Yan saw this, and although he felt strange in his heart, it was inconvenient to ask any more questions.
Little did he know that the person in front of him just because he felt troublesome, when everyone else in the valley was very busy, he went to the entrance of the valley to be a temporary gatekeeper, so that he could be lazy and have some peace and quiet.
"Ahem." The drunk man coughed and said, "In that case, go back quickly."
Liang Yan felt happy and saluted in the direction of the drunkard, then took long steps and walked out of the valley.
The drunk man looked at his leaving back and muttered: "What an interesting boy. He has obviously messy five senses and low qualifications, but he can actually reach the fifth level of Qi training at such an age!". But then he shook his head, looking unconcerned, and turned around to continue admiring his "masterpiece".
