Chapter 651 Martial Arts in Ningyang Mountain
Liang Yan said goodbye to Zhuang Zhengqi and Sheng Chi, and was led by several disciples of the Huxin Sect. He arrived at his cave a short time later.
This Lake Center Sect is based on water-based Taoism. The techniques hidden in the sect all need to absorb the energy of true water, and this large lake seems to contain extremely rich energy of true water.
Therefore, the caves of the sect elders and above are not built on the water, but directly under the lake.
Liang Yan had just arrived and had never practiced the secret techniques of the Huxin Sect, so the residence assigned to him by Zhuang Zhengqi was an ordinary floating courtyard.
The disciples who led the way did not look down on Liang Yan because of this, but were very respectful towards him. You must know that the Huxin Sect has not accepted an elder for more than ten years. If this person can be valued by the sect leader, there must be something extraordinary.
After arriving at the place, the disciples bowed respectfully to the two of them and asked, "I wonder if the two masters have any other instructions?"
Liang Yan waved his hand and said, "We are used to being idle and don't pay much attention to it. You can retreat and practice on your own."
The disciples nodded and said, "We will be waiting nearby. If uncle has any instructions, we will come as soon as he is called."
Liang Yan knew that these disciples were afraid of offending him, so he just smiled when he heard this, and without saying anything else, he led Jia Ruoyan directly into his residence.
The two entered the room and randomly arranged some soundproofing measures. Just as Liang Yan sat down, Jia Ruoyan asked: "Why do you want me to fight in this Ningyang Mountain martial arts debate? Aren't you afraid of exposing my true demonic energy?"
Liang Yan chuckled and said: "I believe you can easily deal with these juniors in the Foundation Establishment stage even without using the real devil's energy. There are many dangers in Huangshi Mountain this time. I should not expose my methods too early. Some trivial things It’s up to you to come forward and settle the matter.”
Liang Yan spoke in an understatement, but Jia Ruoyan felt angry and thought secretly: "Isn't this just using me as a tool? I thought that I was also a witch who could control wind and rain in my clan back then. I didn't expect that this time the tiger fell to Pingyang. Dog bully turned out to be the pawn of a shameless human being!"
Of course, she only dared to keep these words in her stomach, and would never dare to say them in front of Liang Yan. I could only wipe my tears with some self-pity, and pretended to be pitiful: "Ruoyan will not hesitate to take the risk to become the enemy of the Jindan monk for you this time. I only hope that Brother Liang will take pity on Ruoyan and give me my freedom after the matter is completed."
Liang Yan chuckled and didn't answer her. He just sat cross-legged on a wooden chair, looking at his nose and nose, and he actually meditated and fell into concentration.
Jia Ruoyan hated him so much that her teeth itched, but the man refused to take any advantage, so she had no choice but to find a place, close her eyes and adjust her breathing.
It took a whole night for the two of them to enter samadhi.
The next morning, when it was just dawn, the voice of the sect leader Zhuang Zhengqi came from outside the yard:
"Two elders, it's almost time. Let's set off for Ningyang Mountain immediately."
With a "squeak!", the door was pushed open, Liang Yan led Jia Ruoyan out of the room, saluted to the sect master and others: "We brothers and sisters are ready, we can be there at any time." Set off!"
Zhuang Zhengqi nodded with satisfaction and introduced to him: "This is Elder Sheng Chi Sheng. You already know him. As for this person."
Zhuang Zhengqi pointed to a young man next to him who was also wearing a blue robe but had a slender figure: "This is our Huxin Sect's protector elder Mu Zhou. Like your sister, he is also one of the three people participating in the battle."
"Nice to meet you!" Liang Yan cupped his hands towards this person and said, "I'm Zhang Daniu!"
Jia Ruoyan also followed his example and said, "I'm Zhang Lili!"
Muzhou didn't expect that the names of the two brothers and sisters were so earthy, sounding just like village girls and village men in the world, and he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.
But he couldn't show it in front of the sect master, so he just nodded coldly to the two of them, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's set off now!"
As soon as Zhuang Zhengqi finished speaking, he immediately made a seal with one hand, raised a blue escape light, and flew into the air.
When Liang Yan and others saw this, they naturally had nothing to say. They each made a secret gesture and fled, flying towards Ningyang Mountain under the guidance of Zhuang Zhengqi.
The journey in between was not too short. With their cultivation in the foundation-building period, the few people flew for two full days and two nights. It was not until the early morning of the third day that they landed near Ningyang Mountain.
This martial arts debate was hosted by Ningyang Sect, and as Ningyang Sect was a sect with more than a dozen Juyuan Realm monks, the surrounding small sects naturally did not dare to fly in the air on their mountaintops.
So Zhuang Zhengqi turned off the escape light early and took Liang Yan and others on foot. Fortunately, the ones with the lowest level of cultivation are also foundation-building monks, so the mountain roads are not a problem.
In just half a stick of incense, a few people climbed up Ningyang Mountain on foot. A majestic stone gate stood in front of them, with three characters "Ningyang Sect" written on it!
There were still groups of people in twos and threes sitting in a circle in front of the stone gate. Near the stone gate, there were several old men in Taoist robes standing talking to each other.
At this time, a young Ningyang Sect disciple came up and asked politely: "Which sect are you from? Do you have any martial arts tokens?"
The leader, Zhuang Zhengqi, had a pleasant look on his face and smiled at this Qi-refining disciple: "We are from the Huxin Sect, and here is the martial arts token."
As he spoke, he handed over a disk-shaped token.
The Ningyang Sect disciple checked it carefully, took out a strange stone and felt it for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes, it is one of the thirteen tokens. You are qualified to participate in the martial arts debate. Go Find a place to sit in the open space over there.”
"Thank you to this disciple of Ningyang Sect!"
Zhuang Zhengqi chuckled and led Liang Yan and the two of them to find a random place to sit down around the open space.
Liang Yan looked around and found that the Ningyang Sect actually didn't attach much importance to this competition. They didn't even build a simple arena, and they had no plans to invite those who participated in the martial arts debate into the mountain gate.
Just a random area was designated at the gate of this sect as a place for these people to fight.
At this time, an old man in Taoist robes came out and briefly introduced the rules to a few people. Liang Yan then understood that it turned out that the Ningyang Sect himself did not participate in the fighting. Those who participated in the fighting were thirteen small businesses in the northwest. Sect.
There are a total of thirty-eight invitations distributed by Qianyuan Holy Palace to various sects in the northwest.
There are three sects in the northwest that have Juyuan Realm monks. The leader is naturally the Ningyang Sect. They don't need to participate in the competition and can directly take away the eight invitations.
There are also Shenyi Sect and Zhushan Sect. These two sects also have Juyuan Realm monks in charge, but the number is not too many, only a few Miaomiao, but they can also divide five invitations each.
As for the remaining twenty invitations, it is the thirteen sects that have snatched the martial arts tokens and decide their ownership through a battle of wits.
