Chapter 463: It’s All About Chance
Mountains overlap and white mist surrounds.
The majestic Taoist temple is suspended on the top of the mountain, and the sound of reciting Taoist scriptures on the copper chime resounds throughout the world.
Halfway up the mountain, a sturdy figure climbed up the steps along the mountain path filled with mountain fog. He walked slowly and showed a sense of calmness in his movements.
Phew!
A sharp crane chirped overhead, and the rough-faced Taoist raised his head to look at the sky, only to see a huge crane silhouette flying away.
The fog that obscured the road ahead was blown away by the strong wind brought by the flapping wings of the white crane, and a simple and elegant rain pavilion was revealed not far away.
"Even these meaningless details are made so real. It's really rich."
Yang Long raised his hand to grab the diffused mist, carefully feeling the coolness and moisture passing between his fingers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Brother Dao, you are finally willing to show up."
Clear human voices came from the rain pavilion.
The beloved fairy smiled and raised his hand towards Yang Long to invite him.
"I have sent so many invitations to you to connect to the cave, but you have rejected them one by one. I almost thought that you were going to draw a clear line with me and never interact with me again!"
"How is that possible?"
Yang Long Shi Shiran sat down on the stone pier in the pavilion, and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Taoist, you should also know about my previous situation. There are people in the Tianshi Mansion who have been secretly watching our group. I really don't dare to Get out of here rashly.”
Liangrenxian curled his lips: "Junior brother, I have to say something unpleasant. Nowadays, the decline of Longhu Mountain has become so obvious, but the behavior of the Zhang family is still as domineering as ever. I really don't know how confident they are. Where did it come from? If this continues, the Taoist sect's "four mountains and one palace" structure may soon be reshuffled. What will happen to you fellow Taoists with foreign surnames?"
Yang Long sighed: "If something like the loss of my master's sect really happens to me, it will be my fate, and I can only admit that I am unlucky."
"Otherwise, Brother Dao, you can just change the family and join our Qingcheng Mountain. With the relationship between you and my brother, there is no problem in recommending you as a replacement for the Earth Immortal!"
The beloved fairy put on a sincere and righteous expression, but Yang Long just smiled softly and did not answer his words.
"Junior Brother Liang, are you in such a hurry to contact me this time? Is there something urgent?"
Seeing that Yang Long was avoiding answering, the beloved immortal did not continue to ask questions. After all, he himself was just saying a few polite words.
"I can't talk about urgent matters. I just want to know something from you, senior brother."
"But it's okay to say it. I know everything I know, but I don't mind saying it."
Liangrenxian slowly spoke: "Is Longhushan determined to give up this trial?"
"The Nine Divisions of Dragon and Tiger have given up. We have now arrived at Laizhou Prefecture in Shandong, and we should return to Longhu Mountain soon." Yang Long paused for a moment: "But will the Tianshi Mansion just give up? I don’t know.”
"What happened to you in Osaka Castle, and why did you evacuate so suddenly?"
Liang Renxian's urgent words were like a question, which made Yang Long secretly unhappy.
"Junior brother, don't you even know this? I thought that with your strength in Qingcheng Mountain, no trouble in the Japanese area would be able to escape your eyes."
Yang Long's words were so thorny that the good man couldn't help but frown and said with suppressed anger: "Qingcheng Mountain's strength is undoubtedly beyond doubt, but we will not focus on trivial matters!"
Facing Liangrenxian's counterattack, Yang Long remained calm and said calmly: "Since it is a trivial matter, why should junior brother be so concerned and anxious to let me enter the cave?"
"It seems that Brother Dao, you are holding fire in your heart!"
My dear husband suddenly realized, "I wonder if I did something wrong and offended you, Taoist brother?"
"Now that it's come to this, I, Yang Long, am an honest man, so I won't continue to play tricks with you."
Yang Long said with a gloomy face: "I risked my own life and death to reveal Longhu Mountain's plan to you to help you win this trial, but now I haven't seen even the slightest benefit. This is Isn’t it a bit unreasonable? Or are you ready to burn bridges now that I have been expelled from the Japanese area and have no use value?”
The volume increased every time, and at the end it almost became a roar, echoing in this square rain pavilion.
Looking at the furious Yang Long in front of him, a calm and calm smile suddenly appeared on Liangrenxian's face.
"I thought it was some big deal that could make you so angry, Brother Dao. Don't worry, the benefits promised to you by my beloved immortal will definitely be fulfilled. Brother Dao, you don't have to worry."
He stood up slowly, walked around behind Yang Long, and looked at the forest that was once again submerged in mist with his hands behind his back.
"Besides, didn't Brother Dao once say that I am your opportunity?"
Yang Long snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The beloved immortal, who had his back turned to him, had a face full of disdain at the moment. He raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, like swords, outlining a series of pale lines in the mist in front of him.
As the last stroke was drawn, Yang Long seemed to notice something, and the anger between his brows suddenly disappeared.
"Senior brother, you should have received the notification of the arrival of the account, right? Don't worry, the money was transferred in the name of a casual cultivator who is not affiliated with any of the 'Four Mountains and One Palace', even if he is from the Tianshi Mansion Come and review it and you won’t find anything wrong.”
Liang Renxian turned around and put his hand on Yang Long's shoulder: "Actually, I have already prepared this money for you, Brother Dao, but I have never been able to meet you and dare not pay it rashly. Brother Dao, you should be satisfied now." Already?"
"It seems that I am narrow-minded. This misunderstanding will be caused by me. I am here to apologize to you, junior brother."
Yang Long looked apologetic and pretended to stand up to salute, but he felt a huge force pressing down on his shoulders and was interrupted by his beloved fairy.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's clear it up. Brother Dao, you and I have the opportunity to become immortals. This is a rare fate, but we can't be affected by this little thing, don't you think?"
"Junior brother, you are right, you are right."
With the benefits in hand, Yang Long's attitude at this moment was completely different from before, and he responded repeatedly.
But I heard the good man change his subject: "But chance is chance, and business is business. Now that I have paid the money, should you, Taoist Brother Yanglong, also finish the rest?"
"Of course!"
Yang Long nodded like a fool: "We withdrew from the Japanese area because Zhang Qinglu was killed!"
"Who did it? Jin Yiwei?"
The beloved immortal's pupils suddenly shrank.
"The Sangyan Temple of Buddhism also had a hand. However, whether Zhang Qinglu died in the Buddhist kingdom on the ground, there is no conclusion as to whether it was them who killed him or whether it was the person killed by Lord Yan."
Yang Long recalled the scene that day: "But judging from what the earthly immortals who came to the Tianshi Mansion said, they have attributed the cause of Zhang Qinglu's death to Yan Jun."
"Longhu Celestial Master Zhang Qinglu, the first person among the earthly immortals."
Liang Renxian frowned: "He was killed so easily. It seems that I underestimated this lone martial artist before!"
"Yes, this new path of martial arts is indeed stronger than we imagined. Buddhism noticed this before any of us. If we don't pay attention to it, we may suffer big losses in the future."
Yang Long's worries were not heard by Liangrenxian at all. Whether practicing martial arts alone would threaten the status of the Taoist sect was something that the Taoist masters in Baiyu Jingzhong considered, and there was no need for him to worry about it.
His top priority now is to ensure that he can successfully obtain the 'Gao Tianyuan'.
"I heard that among the Jinyi Guards of Inuyama City, there is also a Taoist order of your Dragon and Tiger Nine Divisions? And he is still stranded in the Japanese area and has not evacuated with you?"
"Doube Yangxuan, his common name is Chen Qisheng."
Yang Long nodded: "He has an old relationship with Yan Jun, a hundred households of Jinyiwei in Inushan City. When he first entered the Japanese area, he became the other's special guest. Now there are many voices in the sect who regard him as a dragon and a tiger. Shan's only hope in this trial, and it's very possible that he can win."
"So he is my competitor?"
Liang Renxian raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "But Zhang Qinglu died in the hands of the Jinyi Guards of Inushan City, and the nine dragon and tiger tribes were also expelled. He is the only one left. There is no guarantee that there is something fishy in this. Could it be that Long Hushan ignores it?”
"The rule of Longhu Mountain has always been that 'opportunities have no owner, everyone relies on their ability', and taking advantage of opportunities is also a common method. Moreover, when Junior Brother Yangxuan became the special guest of the Inushan City Jinyiwei, there was no conflict between us and the Jinyiwei. He started from scratch In the end, he didn't even throw a single talisman at us. It's not his fault."
"That's what I say, but this incident is too coincidental, and it will inevitably arouse people's imagination!"
Liang Renxian blinked and said teasingly: "Besides, when did the Tianshi Mansion of your sect ever tell the truth?"
"well"
Yang Long wanted to refute, but couldn't find any strong words to say. In the end, he could only sigh suddenly.
"Actually, as far as I know, the Tianshi Mansion has sent people to investigate his master. In fact, our Taoist cultivation is against the will of nature. Wealth, law, and land are indispensable. These people can become the chief officials of a movie. , who didn’t do something shameful in the process of rising?”
Yang Long looked bitter: "Now that the trial has not ended, the Tianshi Mansion has begun to take action. It is clear that they want to catch their master and apprentice by their pigtails, find an explanation for Zhang Qinglu's death, and protect the face of their Zhang family. . I guess even if Chen Qisheng finally gets the chance, he may not end well."
"I don't think this is Tianshi Mansion deliberately looking for trouble. On the contrary, I think there must be something wrong with it. Otherwise, how could he, a small Daoliu Shanshui Lang, be able to sustain himself until now?"
Liangrenxian sneered: "And he actually dares to get involved with Wu Xu. This is asking for death. If this was placed in our Qingcheng Mountain, there would be no review, and he would immediately arrest and search for the soul. !”
"Junior Brother Yang Xuan, you did make a foolish move this time! However, what the Tianshi Mansion did is still chilling the hearts of those of us!"
Yang Long sighed sadly, his face full of sadness.
The good man smiled and said: "Senior brother, if you are determined to join Qingcheng Mountain, you can improve the conditions I just offered."
"Say it again, let me think about it again."
"Okay, you really can't be anxious about this kind of thing. Brother Yanglong, you just need to remember that the gate of Qingcheng Mountain is always open to you, that's all."
"Thank you for your kindness, junior brother, Yang Long, I will keep it in my heart."
"It's all by chance, there's no need to be so polite."
The Liangren Immortal waved his hand: "However, if there are any special movements among the Earth Immortals in Longhu Mountain, I hope you can inform me in time, senior brother. Of course, the benefits will not be lost to you, senior brother!"
"That's natural. If there's nothing else, I'll disconnect first."
The figure of Yang Long sitting on the stone pier became blurred. With a gust of mountain wind, he dissipated like a cloud of mist.
Cry!
A huge white crane with flashing wings fell from the sky and landed outside the rain pavilion. It stretched its neck and handed the crane head to Liang Renxian's palm.
Light shot out from the crane's eyes, interweaving and projecting the picture of the two people talking in the pavilion just now.
Even at the bottom of the picture, there were words about the content of the conversation, which flowed synchronously with the mouth shape.
All the words Yang Long said just now were recorded by Liang Renxian!
"It seems that this chess piece is still useful. Maybe we can apply to the sect and spend some effort to push him to the position of the chief officer of the 'array department'?"
Liang Renxian raised his hand and gently stroked the crane's head, talking to himself.
For no reason, the sky outside the pavilion suddenly became a little gloomy.
Liang Renxian also noticed this abnormality, but did not take it to heart.
The environment of Huangliang Cave Heaven would change with the mood of its owner. At this moment, he was thinking about his situation in Osaka Castle, and his mood was heavy. It was normal for the sky in the cave Heaven to darken.
"I don't know what the situation of my uncle is in Edo now. It has been so long, why is there no news at all?"
While thinking, Liangrenxian didn't notice that the sky was already gloomy.
Dong!
A sound of copper chimes like a huge bell resounded throughout the cave Heaven. The wind and clouds suddenly changed, and heavy rain fell from the sky with heavy dark clouds. A panic atmosphere like the end of the world spread.
"Someone invaded?!"
Liangrenxian's face suddenly changed, but before he could make any response, the Taoist temple hanging on the mountain peak suddenly exploded violently, and the broken earth and rocks with flames fell down, smashing the lush green mountains into pieces.
The entire Huangliang Cave Heaven shook in an instant, and the dewdrops on the branches of the green pine trees fell to the ground in the shaking, but in the process of falling, they suddenly flickered inexplicably, blurred into a rough color block, and fell into the bushes whose original appearance could no longer be seen.
"Where is the cave heaven spiritual official!"
Liangrenxian pinched the seal and ordered, but did not get any response, as if his authority in this cave heaven had all expired.
At the same time, a disturbing and harsh Buddhist sound filled his mind, making Liangrenxian suddenly stunned.
Huh.
A huge fireball with a radius of ten feet fell from the sky and flew straight to the rain pavilion on the mountainside.
"Zhao Yanlong!!!!"
Boom.
Amid the loud noise, Liangrenxian's vision was deadly dark, and then it lit up again.
The dark sky, the shattered Taoist temple, the burning forest, the screaming white crane
Everything seemed like a big dream, without any trace.
At this moment, Liang Renxian's sight was only the deserted streets with few people and the rows of dilapidated houses.
This was the suburbs of Osaka Castle!
"Did Zhao Yanlong betray me? Who attacked my cave?"
Liang Renxian was still in shock, and the sudden change still made him unable to recover.
At this moment, a harsh friction sound hit his eardrum.
Liang Renxian turned his head in horror, and saw a black carriage drifting from the corner. The white smoke produced by the intense friction of the tires almost submerged the body of the car, rushing towards him in an unstoppable manner.
No matter how stupid he was, Liang Renxian knew that he was exposed. His sleeves were suddenly bulging, and dense carved talismans floated up.
At the same time, the yellow-turbaned warrior who had entered the Xuanwei Office of Osaka Castle on his behalf earlier strode out and rushed straight towards the rushing black carriage.
Bang!
The front window of the black carriage suddenly shattered, and a pitch-black flying sword flew out.
Not only that, the end of the hilt was followed by a ferocious and domineering armor!
"What kind of person dares to block my way?!"
With a domineering tone in his red eyes, the horse king ran wildly and reached out to grab the sword.
Puff!
The long sword penetrated the chest of the yellow-turbaned warrior, and the remaining force did not stop, pushing the opponent's body into the dilapidated house beside.
The flying debris brushed the Taoist's temples, scraping a wound oozing white blood, but the fierceness in his eyes was still the same.
Behind him, the talisman was spinning like a vortex, and the center of the vortex was like a terrifying muzzle, gathering various colors of light, and a huge pressure spread out.
"Qingcheng Talisman Record."
Just as the cannon was about to erupt, Liangrenxian's pupils suddenly expanded, and a golden Buddhist character "Wan" appeared in his left eye, while a seal character "Zou" occupied his right eye!
Buddhist Kingdom on Earth!
Yin Yang Stealing Dreams!
Clatter.
The talismans behind Liangrenxian fell to the ground, and at this moment, the extremely fast black carriage had already rushed in front of him.
Clang.
The car door suddenly opened, and Chen Qisheng leaned out. A gray spiritual seal covered Liangrenxian's face, grabbed his collar with his backhand, and dragged him into the car!
Buzz.
The black carriage roared and left in a cloud of dust.
