Chapter 45 Entering the Trap
After a big battle, Tang Diexian and Liang Yan both consumed a lot of spiritual power in their bodies. Especially Liang Yan, who was hit by a wind blade in the back and was bleeding profusely. Although the injury was not serious, his appearance was quite miserable.
Tang Diexian took the healing elixir from the storage bag and gave it to Liang Yan. The two found an unused hut in the mountains and meditated inside to recover.
Liang Yan sat on the bed with his eyes closed and practiced his martial arts. The "Two Fish Twin Formation" in his body silently rotated far away, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and then transformed it into golden and blue spiritual energy.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the morning outside and the sun was shining high.
A few rays of sunlight slipped in through the half-open windows of the thatched house, shining warmly on me. He took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual energy filling his body, and his mood suddenly improved.
"Tang Diexian's healing elixir is indeed extraordinary. It only took one night, and the injury on his back has already healed to a great extent."
With this thought, Liang Yan looked to the side, only to find that there was no one in the thatched house. Tang Diexian had obviously gone out. But Liang Yan didn't care. Now that all the monks lurking in Yongle Town had been eliminated, there would be no danger for her to go out alone.
He got up from the bed, opened the door and walked out. As soon as the wooden door opened, a stream of cool air poured into the body from the mouth and nose. At this time, the frost had just passed and winter had not yet begun. Although it was a rare sunny day, it was still relatively cold in the deep mountains.
Liang Yan's spiritual power circulated a little, driving away the coldness in his lungs, and walked to the courtyard to stretch. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps and turned around to see that it was Tang Diexian.
Wearing a white dress and a white skirt, with a pheasant in her hand, she climbed over the wall from outside the courtyard and landed right opposite him.
Liang Yan said with a smile: "Senior sister is really a strange person! Every time she refuses to open the door, she always climbs over the wall. It's the same in Laifu Inn. Junior brother can't help but lament the uselessness of the 'door'."
Tang Diexian rolled his eyes at him and said, "The 'door' is a path marked for you by others. You don't care if others leave as they please, but I don't want to enter, can't I?"
Liang Yan thought to himself: "You are just trying to save the road!" But he said: "Why did you bring back a pheasant?"
"I saw that you were injured, so I wanted to help you recuperate. Humph, you have done hard work without any credit in this mission of this lady. I just want to give you a little reward."
"It turns out that she went out early in the morning to hunt game for me," Liang Yan thought, and a warm current surged through his heart.
At this time, Tang Diexian had already begun to use the Baihua Sword to remove the feathers of the pheasant and clean the internal organs.
After the process was complete, he took out the collected firewood from the storage bag and spread it in the middle of the courtyard. Then he set up a stand and used a few tricks in his hands to make the firewood burn immediately.
With a serious look on her face, she skewered the pheasant with bamboo skewers, flipped it over the fire, took out several bottles and jars, and sprinkled the seasonings on the roasted chicken.
Liang Yanqi asked: "Where did you get these?"
"There's one in the kitchen. The original owner of this house was an Orion. Isn't it normal to have these things?" Tang Diexian said without raising his head.
"That's it." Liang Yan observed from the sidelines. Although the woman was roasting the pheasant in front of her with a serious look on her face, she had obviously never done such a thing before. Her movements were jerky and she had no skills at all.
Before she roasted Hao Duan Duan's pheasant until it was inedible, Liang Yan stopped her in time and took over the important task of "roasting the pheasant" himself.
Soon, the aroma filled the mountain hut, the barbecue made a sizzling sound, and a drop of hot oil slowly slid down the lines of the plump meat, exuding an intoxicating aroma.
Tang Diexian moved a bench and sat aside. Looking at the golden pheasant, his nose moved and he looked impatient.
Liang Yan smiled, reached out and tore off a chicken leg and handed it to her. Tang Diexian grabbed it without any politeness and sniffed it carefully. The aroma of the meat overflowed, making people's index fingers twitch. So I opened my mouth and took a bite. The chicken was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat was delicious and had a unique flavor.
"Good times!"
Tang Diexian chewed the barbecue in his mouth and praised vaguely.
Liang Yan felt unusually proud: "That's not true. Don't think that barbecue is just a matter of tossing the meat a few times, then smearing some sauce on it and everything will be fine. In fact, the taste of the barbecue is also different if the effort is different. , such as this pheasant."
Ever since he left the old monk and entered Yixing Pavilion, Liang Yan had been cautious in his words and deeds. But this time when he came out with Tang Diexian, he inexplicably started talking. At this time, he talked about his "stunt" of barbecue, and even more He started talking nonstop.
His craftsmanship was passed down from his father Liang Xuan. After traveling with the old monk for a year, he perfected this skill and now he learned many of the tips.
"Yeah, yeah!" Tang Diexian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice while eating. By the time Liang Yan finished speaking, most of the pheasant had already entered her stomach.
She looked at the few pheasants left, and a blush rose on her face. She brought the pheasant with the intention of replenishing Liang Yan's health, but she ate most of it.
"It's all this idiot's fault. His craftsmanship is so good. I didn't expect that a mere roasted pheasant could be so delicious." Tang Diexian thought to himself.
Fortunately, Liang Yan didn't care. He was more willing to "talk" with the woman in front of him than to the pheasant.
The sun shines warmly in the yard, surrounding the boys and girls, seeming to push the chill in the mountains a little outside the yard.
"correct!"
Tang Diexian suddenly remembered something, and said with excitement in his big eyes: "Those Yunyinhui people have been plotting in the mine for two years, saying it's for a treasure inside. Why don't we go and take a look together?"
Liang Yan shook his head and said: "I have spent two years without getting it. How can it be so easy to get this thing? Our mission has been completed. I don't think there is any need to add any extraneous problems. We can just report it directly to the sect."
Tang Diexian said: "Didn't Tang Tiannan say it before? There is only one person in this group of people who is proficient in formations and has arranged some kind of evil-breaking formation to break the evil spirit inside. So when it comes to geniuses who are proficient in formations, I don't have anyone in front of me. Is there just one person sitting?"
She looked at Liang Yan, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, and continued: "Aren't you really curious about what treasure is underneath? The little girl is very curious. Mr. Liang's formation skills are unparalleled in the world, and his barbecue skills are even more impressive. It’s rare to find an opponent. Such a person will definitely not leave this little girl alone, right?”
"Ahem!" Liang Yan almost choked the chicken bone into his throat.
He took a breath and said helplessly: "Do I have any other choice?"
Two days later, in front of the entrance of the Ling Mine in the southeast of Yongle Town, stood a pair of boys and girls. It was Liang Yan and Tang Diexian who were here to investigate.
Tang Diexian looked at the entrance of the cave and said excitedly: "Speaking of which, we have been in Yongle Town for so long, but we have never gone in to investigate."
Liang Yan nodded and said, "Although Tang Tiannan said that there is only some evil spirit inside, there is no guarantee that people from the Yunyin Society will not set any traps inside. We still need to make some preparations."
As he spoke, he poured out a bunch of things from the storage bag, but they were some formation disks, formation flags, etc., which he had plundered from that "No. 5".
Liang Yan fiddled around in the open space nearby, seeming to be arranging some formation. After about a stick of incense, he stood up and said, "It's done, let's go in."
Tang Diexian couldn't wait to enter the spiritual mine first. Liang Yan followed closely behind, and as soon as the two of them entered the cave entrance, they felt a cold air blowing towards their faces.
"It seems that there is really a strong evil spirit deep in this spiritual mine. I wonder if there is really a treasure underneath!" Tang Diexian said.
The two of them walked down the mine tunnel, and the cold air became heavier and heavier. Just when they both felt a slight chill entering their bodies, a wall appeared in front of them.
"It's over!" Tang Diexian said.
Liang Yan nodded and said, "It seems like this is it."
What appeared in front of them was a huge pit, diagonally going all the way down into the ground. There was also a set of formations arranged on the slope inside the pit. Below the formation is the billowing evil energy visible to the naked eye, but it is blocked underneath.
"Gengjin Breaking Evil Formation!"
Liang Yan suddenly said: "This man has some knowledge. The metallic spiritual power here is so rich that it is indeed suitable for setting up this 'Gengjin Breaking Evil Formation'. However, he did not grasp a few key points accurately, so he did not bring out the full potential of this formation." Full potential.”
"Then can we repair it?" Tang Diexian asked.
"There should be no problem. With this ready-made formation, it saves us a lot of effort." Liang Yan said and walked into the deep pit with Tang Diexian and began to improve the "Gengjin Evil Breaking Formation".
Liang Yan's attainments in formation were extraordinary, and it didn't take him long to improve them. Then the spiritual power in the body started to move, and he raised his hand to shoot out a few spells, and a few rays of spiritual light were injected into the three formation beads of the formation. The "Gengjin Evil Breaking Formation" immediately started to operate automatically and began to expel the evil energy downwards.
Liang Yan and Tang Diexian relied on the formation and walked down about twenty feet. The evil aura below was getting stronger and stronger. Even Tang Diexian, a master who was not afraid of anything, frowned slightly.
At this moment, a shock suddenly came from Liang Yan's waist. He frowned slightly, reached out and took out something from his waist, but it was an octagonal compass, which was exactly the one they got from the green-robed guest "No. 1" they followed on the first day.
The compass was vibrating at this moment, and one of the needles on it was spinning like crazy.
Liang Yan suddenly felt inexplicable fear in his heart, and said secretly: "No!"
However, before he could exit to remind him, an overwhelming blood-red color suddenly came from below the pit, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, wrapping the two people in it, and they disappeared in an instant.
