Chapter 148 Going down to the secret realm to meet Zhang Liang The small Xiangdou Inn is home to many hidden talents. Zhao Wumian sat alone by the window drinking, wondering in his heart who this monk Lexin was, and whether he was related to the Yujing Society, the Mongols, or the White Lotus Sect. Unfortunately, there is too little information and we can only guess. 【Zhao Wumian? 】 "..." Suddenly, a voice came from his ear. Zhao Wumian's heart trembled, and he almost spit out the wine in his mouth. He turned his head without changing his expression. Li Tianran came over with a smile, and used voice transmission to enter the secret passage: [You don't have to act with me. There is only one person of my age who can give me this kind of dangerous feeling, Zhao Wumian. I don't believe that there will be another one running out of the East China Sea Knight Island, and he will be a little-known minion in the past! ] Li Tianran sat down opposite him and raised the wine pot to pour wine: [Are you worried? ] Seven Killings Chao Dou Fate… Sure enough.
Since he recognized it, Zhao Wumian stopped pretending. Anyway, the people behind Zeng Yiming probably knew about it. More variables might mean more chances of survival: [Yes, what do you think? ] Li Tianran simply said: [Changed. I have seen the heart, before and now, two different feelings, the Shaolin Temple monks did not notice, are they blind or deaf? ] Zhao Wumian thought for a moment: [This is normal. Zen Buddhism emphasizes sudden enlightenment, 'Ten years of hard work is not as good as enlightenment in one day'. As long as there is sudden enlightenment, one can 'become a Buddha right away', and there may be a drastic change in temperament. If the person who borrowed a body to be reborn is a high monk, and took the opportunity to show the abnormal behavior after sudden enlightenment, then he will not only not arouse suspicion, but will also be taken seriously. ] Li Tianran nodded: [The story of Huineng, who suddenly realized the truth after listening to the sutras, was not familiar with words, but could pray to the Buddha, point directly to his original mind, and become a Buddha. It is true, and he can really deceive people like this... Eminent monk, could it be the White Lotus Sect's Bodhi Master? It is said that the contemporary Bodhi Master has practiced hard for forty years, and has been reborn through a body, and has regained his youth, but in his mind? He is really brave! ] Zhao Wumian: [Looking at it now, it’s probably true. What do you think of Liuhou’s chess game? ] Li Tianran: [We can only take one step at a time and see…] Before he finished speaking, his face changed slightly and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" Zhao Wumian's face darkened and he looked at him: [You know a lot! ] Li Tianran quickly recovered and said with a smile: "The Wutai Sect is not a monolithic group. I know there is nothing to be surprised about." Zhao Wumian sneered: [No matter how powerful the Tiangongtang is, it is still a hidden sect. The scarcity of disciples is its weakness. It is impossible for it to wantonly play with the big sects of the eight major sects. There must be someone behind you... After the last battle between you and me, when I went to the Southeast Giant Whale Gang again, the Yujinghui organization there withdrew and left a stone with the words - White Jade Capital in the sky, twelve floors and five cities. The immortal stroked my head and I received immortality. I guessed at the time that the one who was plotting the treasure of the Giant Whale Gang should be the younger generation of the Yujinghui. Now it seems that it is you - your martial arts are the best among your peers, and you are well-informed. In this case, it is impossible without the support of a big organization behind you. So, you are a member of the Yujinghui...] 【…】 Li Tianran remained calm but was cursing in his heart. damn it! There is actually such a thing, leaving a message to show off? Are you looking for death?! Zhao Wumian immediately connected him to Zeng Yiming or the person behind Zeng Yiming. The Wutai Sect was most likely infiltrated by the Yujing Society. If the death disaster really befell the Yujing Society, Li Tianran would not have to worry. Judging from his past and present actions, if he really wanted to be his enemy, there was no need for him to show up. It is very likely that he does not even know the true purpose of the Yujing Society and thinks they are "like-minded". Or, he is also a "human pillar" cultivated by those old guys who are eager for immortality, waiting for the critical moment to seize the soul and be reborn in the body... There was a gleam of light in Zhao Wumian's eyes. This Li Tianran could be used. Let’s put a nail in the Yujing Society first! Zhao Wumian said: [I have something to show you, do you want to see it? ] Li Tianran looked suspicious: [What is that?] Zhao Wumian said: [Part of the memories of Kikuchi Iori, the eldest daughter of the Japanese Kikuchi family.]
Li Tianran suddenly realized and felt strange: [Why do you want to show it to me? ] Zhao Wumian said: [Of course they want to sow discord... Do you want to see it or not? If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again! ] 【…】 Li Tianran gave him a deep look: [Okay.] Zhao Wumian closed and opened his eyes, and used the "Demon Planting Technique". A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a beam of spiritual consciousness penetrated into Li Tianran's eyes. In an instant, Li Tianran saw Kikuchi Iori's memory and knew the descriptions and speculations of Kukai and Abe no Nakamaro about the Yujing Society in her mind, "the transplantation of people and strange beasts", "the poison saint's soul-seizing method"... His expression became more and more surprised and uglier! Zhao Wumian continued to look out the window and drink, giving him time to figure it out. For a long time. Li Tianran's forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear: [I thought it was about pursuing the way to immortality, seizing the treasures of heaven and earth, and finding the recipe for the immortality elixir... I actually... I actually have this kind of involvement... Is this true or false...] 【Judge for yourself.】 Zhao Wumian said: [Believe it or not! ] For smart people, if they have suspicions, they will investigate on their own and there is no need to rush to explain. They won't believe it, so there's no need to waste your breath on it. Li Tianran recalled the content and was shocked. This information was completely different from what he had encountered in the past! The Yujing Society in his mind still focused on Xu Fu, An Qisheng, Li Shaojun, Ge Hong, Lü Dongbin, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Bai. Their goal was to use various strange techniques to collect natural treasures and elixirs in order to achieve immortality. The Yujing Society was also known as the Society for Immortality and the Society for Seeking Immortality. But this memory went astray and started to go in a different direction. Using all kinds of evil magic to seek immortality, using the method of possessing another's body to regain youth, harming others for personal gain! 【No wonder……】 Li Tianran looked at Zhao Wumian with a deep gaze: [No wonder they didn't look for you... Previously they said that you would not be inferior to others, and would definitely seize the natural treasures and only care about yourself... Now that I think about it, this may not be the only reason. They are just worried that you know their details, so they dare not show up. ] Zhao Wumian smiled and said, "Am I sick? I have such a big organization but I don't want to rely on it. I have to go and find it myself after a quarrel? It would be more credible if I said that I would contact the court to crack down on the Yujing Society." Li Tianran quickly calmed down: [It seems that they really have bad intentions...] Zhao Wumian said: [Are you really not here to arrest me? ] Li Tianran shook his head and sighed: [I have to catch you too! If I could win the last time, I would never hold back. Since I can't beat you, why should I humiliate myself? I'm only here to grab the treasure, I don't know anything else.] 【Um. 】 Zhao Wumian changed the subject: [Do you have any clues about the immortality elixir? ] Li Tianran: [They do. They haven’t told me yet.] Zhao Wumian: [What are you going to do? ] Li Tianran smiled: [It's not that easy to take over my body! You have the "Demon Seeding Technique" and have a deep understanding of the spiritual consciousness, but I have the Mohist inheritance. When it comes to protecting myself, it is better than the "Demon Seeding Technique". ]
【That’s true.】 Zhao Wumian nodded: [The famous "Ming Gui Curse" is indeed stronger than "Zhong Mo Jue" in terms of defense.] Li Tianran was about to speak when Ye Zongyuan came over and asked curiously, "Have you two known each other for a long time?" Zhao Wumian said casually, "We met once before." Li Tianran followed up with an explanation, "Yes, there was a misunderstanding, and I can't talk about it in front of you all... It's quite lively over there, what happened?" Ye Zongyuan looked back, then turned to Zhao Wumian, and said with a strange look, "Something strange has happened. The third son of the Hou family... has left. Tomorrow is the agreed date, and it is very strange that Hou Yang is leaving at this time." They suspected it was related to "Hua Qianshu". After all, he and Hou Yang had friction yesterday. Zhao Wumian remained indifferent, and said with a fake smile: "He's smart! Have you decided on a time to go up the mountain?" Ye Zongyuan said: "At the beginning of the morning hour, Lu Guangda will be waiting for us at the top of the mountain." …… Lu Guangda, who is already 25 years old this year, has a handsome face and a tall figure. He is the oldest among this group of young talents. He has been in seclusion for many years and has few achievements, so he is not ranked high on the list, ranking seventh on the list of geniuses. The next morning. Lu Guangda followed Zeng Yiming and others and waited in front of the Tianji Palace on Yuxu Peak early, ready to lead everyone into the secret realm. Two months ago, an invitation letter was required to visit Yuxu Peak. Two months later, it was no longer necessary, and more people came than expected. The Wutai Sect has only one requirement, which is that the person must be from the righteous path of the Central Plains. All evil cults and outsiders are stopped at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Wumian and others climbed up the mountain path and arrived at the top of the mountain, where a vermilion archway came into view. Right above the archway, there are three large characters written in a flamboyant style - Tianji Palace. Behind the archway is the large bluestone platform where the disciples of Tianji Palace used to practice swordplay. There are four tall stone pillars at the four corners of Daping, with coiled dragons and flying phoenixes carved on them, which look extraordinary. A circle of mysterious cloud seals are engraved on the upper and lower parts of each pillar, absorbing and exhaling the vitality of heaven and earth and flashing with faint light. Everyone knows that this is the famous protective formation of the Tianji Palace - the "Four Symbols Formation"! Behind the large square are a number of Taoist palaces. Looking down from a high place, one can vaguely see seven large palaces and thirteen small palaces. Unfortunately, most of them had been burned down in a fire and had not yet been repaired. The Wutai Sect did not have the energy to renovate all of them, and only focused on repairing the protective formations and several places used for food, accommodation, and the cultivation of spiritual plants. The secret realm was about to open, and everyone had no mood to talk. After passing the archway, everyone looked at Lu Guangda and his gang. Behind Lu Guangda, near the center of the Four Symbols Formation, there is a deep well. The diameter of the well mouth was two meters, the well platform was made of white marble, and the well cover was a one-foot-thick dragon-breaking stone, which was sealed with eight thick chains. Zeng Yiming waved. Two Wutai sect elders, Gu Jingze and Ge Shan, stepped forward and untied the chains one by one. Then Zeng Yiming unlocked the final lock and activated the mechanism. The stone slabs rumbled, revealing a deep well. A white light rose from the well and shot straight into the sky. The secret realm has been opened!
"The agreed time has come, so stop talking." Zeng Yiming faced everyone and said solemnly: "I believe you all already know what this event is about. That's right, it's the divine weapon! The divine weapon that once helped the Lord of Tianji Palace refine the Three Yuans' precious treasures and create the Seven Stars' unique skills - [Yellow Stone Heavenly Book]!" The voice fell, and there was an uproar. Some people who were not in the know began to get restless. The [Huangshi Heavenly Book] was among the top-tier heavenly artifacts. If they could get it, they could also create magical weapons and unique skills. Like Sima Quehun, they could dominate the northwest and rule the world. How free that would be! "The Wutai sect has been searching for this weapon for several years, but the weapon is spiritual and has not been favored by our disciples. The situation in the northwest is difficult now. In order to prevent this weapon from falling into the hands of evil demons, the Wutai sect sincerely invites heroes from all over the world to enter the secret realm to retrieve the treasure. Those who are capable will get it!" Zeng Yiming finished speaking, looked behind everyone, clasped his hands together and said, "Everyone, there is no need to hide, come out! Zeng has prepared some light wine, let's drink while we wait!" The sound was loud and could be heard from miles away. "Okay! Feihong Sword is polite!" The first person appeared, rushed out from under the cliff and jumped to Daping. He was wearing a red robe, his hair and beard were gray, his muscles were muscular, and the skin on his hands was a strange reddish-brown color. He was from the sword-making Xu family, and he was Xu Chonghai, Xu Qiong's great uncle. Immediately afterwards, a loud sword chant was heard, and Pei Chongxu, the second uncle of Pei Zuozhi, the "Little Sky Sword" of the Pei family of Mingjian Villa, also appeared. Then there was Master Xuandu, the uncle of Shaolin Temple monk Liaoxin; Bu Yulong, the master of Tiandao Sect’s Bu family; and Yu Kongzi, the uncle of Wudang Sect’s Ye Zongyuan… They are all masters who came here to protect the disciples. Except for a few people like Zhao Wumian, Xiao Yi, Li Tianran, etc. who are not taken care of, the other disciples have elders behind them who can support them in case of trouble. They don't have to worry about the Wutai Sect or other sects doing bad things. This is also a kind of deterrent. The Wutai disciples brought out tables and chairs, served wine and food, and the teachers sat down. Zeng Yiming continued, "Rare treasures are naturally obtained by those who are capable. There is only one rule. You are all the pride of your respective sects and will become pillars of the righteous path in the future. You must not use heavy hands on each other or take lives lightly! Otherwise, there are also seniors here who are good at reading minds and searching souls. If you violate this rule, I will not forgive you!" Everyone should be. Immediately, Gu Jingze, the elder of the Wutai Sect, took the lead and led several commanders to go down the well to investigate and supervise each other to prevent any secret manipulation. Then it was time for the younger generation to step forward. Everyone stepped forward and gathered around the well. Lu Guangda of Mount Wutai, Ye Zongyuan of Wudang, Zhang Guangxian of Longhu Mountain, Xue Wei of Yin-Yang Dao, Li Tianran of Tiangong Hall, Liao Xin of Shaolin, Tang Xinxue of Tang Sect, Xu Qiong of the Sword-Forging Xu Family, Bu Xiaochen of Tiandao Sect, Zhuge Qian of Zhuge Family, etc. Everyone looked at the bottom of the well, waiting for instructions. Zeng Yiming gave an order! Zhao Wumian took a deep breath and jumped down. There was a specially built corridor under the well, leading directly to the stone gate barrier in front, with dazzling white light. Zhao Wumian used the heavy weight to accelerate his fall, and used his lightness skills to rush into the stone gate like a tiger. He felt dazed and the world was spinning. The light becomes brighter and brighter, and suddenly everything becomes clear! It seemed as if there was another world inside the [Illusionary Array], which was actually a green valley full of flowers, red flowers and green trees, which shaded each other. There is no sun or moon here, but there are blue sky, white clouds and a gentle breeze. I don’t know where the light source is. There are gurgling waters, blooming flowers, shady trees and rugged rocks all around. "What a realistic illusion..." Zhao Wumian perked up, and suddenly, he found a pavilion by the stream not far ahead, with a person in the pavilion. She has a pretty face and elegant temperament.
He was wearing a fur coat and his face was as white as paper. Although he had a very good-looking appearance, he looked weak and pale. Only his eyes were bright and sparkling like stars. ——Liu Hou of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Zifang. Zhao Wumian looked over. Zhang Liang also looked over. He was supposed to be just a shadow, but suddenly he spoke and said with a smile: "You are here..." (End of this chapter)
