Chapter 80: Transaction with Yuan Liang
"How do you want to trade?"
"If you want to skillfully use the Golden Crow Buddha Flame Spirit, you not only need to control the Buddhist Taoist skills, but also need the fire of the Buddha source in the Golden Buddha Township to complete the spiritual contract. You have the Bird Flame Spirit, if you can master this Golden Crow Buddha Flame Spirit, In the future, your achievements will be greater than mine. I am willing to tell you the location of the Buddha's source of fire, and at the same time give you the golden-winged flying knife and my method of practicing flying knife.
I, Yuan Liang, have no relatives or reasons in this world. His only wish is to help his master protect the "Qingsong Sect". If the "Qingsong Sect" is in trouble in the future, I hope you can help me once. This is my condition. Is Mr. Xu willing to make this deal with a loser like me? "
After Xu Yang thought for a moment, he said: "Although you have been chasing me all the way, I still have a sense of gratitude for you. I agree to the deal you proposed. Where is this "Qingsong Sect"? ”
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng. The Qingsong Sect is just a small Taoist sect. It's not surprising that Mr. Xu has never heard of it. There is a Qingdao Mountain in Qingzhou, six hundred miles northwest of Piaoyun Peak, where it is located." , Yuan Liang struggled to take out a sapphire slip and a round white jade sign with a green pine pattern engraved on the front from his arms.
"The jade slip contains what I just said. You only need to use a trace of the power of the flame spirit to read the record. This round jade tablet is the waist badge of my Qingsong Sect. It can be a witness when the time comes."
Xu Yang took the jade slip, injected a touch of flame spirit power into it, and then unfolded his consciousness to check.
Sure enough, as Yuan Liang said, the jade slips record a Buddhist technique called "Wuxiang Gong" and the secret technique of controlling flying knives derived from this technique - Wuxiang Qianren.
The jade slip also contains a map showing the detailed location of the Buddha's source of fire. Seeing that Yuan Liang was not lying, Xu Yang used the power of the flame spirit to imprint the contents on the jade slip into his mind word for word. With one hand, he squeezed it hard and the jade slip immediately turned into a pile of powder. Then he carefully put away the other round jade tablet.
Yuan Liang picked up the golden-winged flying knife that fell on the ground, wiped it back and forth with his sleeves, and then respectfully presented it to Xu Yang with both hands.
"This golden-winged flying knife was accidentally obtained by me during a Buddhist practice. I, Yuan Liang, have followed me for decades and killed countless opponents. Today, my skills are completely useless. If he is lucky enough to meet the famous master again, he will not lose it." It’s worth it.”
Xu Yang took the flying knife and looked at it carefully for a moment, then put it into the storage bag.
"I have collected everything, and the conditions I promised you will be fulfilled."
"Young master Xu is so happy." As he said that, Yuan Liang showed a long-lost smile on his face.
"Take care, Mr. Xu." After saying that, he never looked at Xu Yang again, turned around and staggered towards the other direction.
Not far away, Yuan Liang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. Suddenly he fell to the ground and remained motionless. The lingering sound of his laughter gradually faded away in the mountain col.
Xu Yang walked over and took a look, only to see that a flying knife held tightly in Yuan Liang's right hand had been deeply inserted into his heart. Blood dyed the large area of land beneath him red, and Yuan Liang, who was already extremely weak, had no breath at this moment.
Xu Yang found a flat place nearby, dug a pit, and hurriedly buried Yuan Liang's body. He took a piece of wood and inserted it in front of Yuan Liang's grave, and wrote the words "Yuan Liang's Tomb" on it.
After doing all this, Xu Yang stood in front of Yuan Liang's grave and said: "If I, Xu Yang, have the opportunity to fulfill this deal and help the Qingsong Sect, I will come back here and let you know." After saying that, Xu Yang carefully identified the direction. , after remembering the location of this place, turned around and left.
…
"I wonder how Brother Tu and the others are doing, but I still have to rush back to Piaoyun Peak to have a look." Xu Yang thought to himself and ran towards Piaoyun Peak.
Rush back to the original location of the incident.
Xu Yang saw Lu Qian standing there elegantly in a blue brocade outfit from a distance.
Although he had never met Lu Qian before, after all, it was Lu Qian's intervention that saved him from danger this time. Therefore, I am still grateful to Lu Qian.
Xu Yang quickly came to Lu Qian, gave a respectful salute, and then said: "Xu Yang, a disciple of the Tiangui Sect, has met the Peak Master. Thank you very much for the Peak Master's help just now."
"I am the peak master of Qingyu Peak of Yu Dao Sect. You are not a disciple of Yu Dao Sect. You don't need to address me as peak master. Just call me Senior Lu. It was my duty to take action before, so you don't need to say thank you."
Lu Qian changed the subject and asked, "What happened to the man who escaped?"
"Senior Lu, that man is dead, and I buried his body in the mountain col."
"That guy broke into the barrier without permission and wantonly killed my disciples of the Yu Dao Sect. He deserves to pay with his life, even if he dies."
"I dare to ask Senior Lu, how are my two friends?"
"Tu and Tong, I'm just looking for them to understand the previous situation, and I won't embarrass them."
Lu Qian looked Xu Yang up and down and continued: "With your cultivation in the spiritual realm, it is impossible to easily break into the defensive barrier here."
Xu Yang understood what Lu Qian meant and immediately said the answer he had already thought of on the way.
"The man who died was an ordinary deacon of the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance in Pingyun Gufang City. By chance, I discovered that he was colluding with the road bandits to murder the merchants. After that, the man chased me all the way to silence him. I walked in here by mistake, please be careful, senior."
"In that case, you can go back to Tiangui Sect. Also, don't tell anyone else about seeing me here today."
Lu Qian's words made Xu Yang confused for a moment, but he could feel that this person had no ill intentions towards him.
"Junior, remember this."
…
Looking at Xu Yang's departing back, Lu Qian smiled slightly. His figure flashed and turned into a blue shadow and disappeared on the spot.
On the slope outside Piaoyun Peak, there was an open space where the altar of Yu Dao Sect was set up.
An old man with extraordinary bearing and a noble blue-shirted young man were whispering something. They were Lan Xingjun and Lu Qian.
"Replying to the elder, the person who broke into the defensive barrier this time has been killed, and there is no sign that there is a big force behind him." Lu Qian said respectfully.
"Well, there are many forces coveting my Yu Dao Sect now, so you should be careful everywhere."
"In addition, I have another discovery. In this incident, I saw a disciple of Tiangui Sect with the power of the sparrow flame spirit. Judging from the fluctuation of his spiritual power, it is very similar to the spiritual power on the feather found in the ruins before. I did not let the sect question him and let him go."
Hearing this, Lan Xingjun's calm face suddenly became serious.
Then he said, "You did a good job. It was his good fortune that the sparrow flame spirit could attach to this person. Since that person has become a sparrow spirit, there is no reason for us to disturb her anymore. In addition, I will personally supervise the work here in the few days before the Piaoyun Peak ruins are sealed."
...
After returning to the Tiangui Sect, Xu Yang was restless, worried that the Yu Dao Sect would embarrass Tu Sanli and Tong Pangzi.
As Lu Qian said, just one hour later, Tu Sanli and Tong Pangzi came to Xu Yang's residence to check.
Regarding the whole story of this incident, Xu Yang just repeated what he had explained to Lu Qian. Seeing that Xu Yang was fine, Tu Sanli was very happy. After saying goodbye to Xu Yang, the two hurried back to Ning Tianqi to report.
In the next few days, Xu Yang closed the door to cultivate.
That morning, Xu Yang took out his three Lihuo Cones and saw that the restrictions on them had been severely damaged in the last fight. When he took out the Jinggang Shield, it was even more damaged beyond repair.
At the moment, the only weapons in his hand were the Three Illusion Pestle and the Golden Winged Flying Knife he had just obtained.
After the battle with Yuan Liang, Xu Yang was quite envious of his flying knife skills.
Check out the Wuxiang Gong left by Yuan Liang.
Wuxiang Gong is a profound Buddhist skill. If it can be mastered, it can cultivate the state of selflessness and formlessness, which is extremely powerful. But the Wuxiang Gong given by Yuan Xiaodao clearly only has the first three levels of the skill, which is a fragmentary copy, which makes Xu Yang a little disappointed.
The flying knife skill derived from this skill - Wuxiang Qianren is a flying knife skill that relies on the unique formula of Wuxiang Gong to inject the power of the Golden Crow Buddha Flame Spirit into the flying knife, but it does not have a very high requirement for the foundation of Wuxiang Gong.
Since there is no way to fully activate the Golden Crow Buddha Flame Spirit in the body for the time being, it can only use the power of Ah Zhu's Flame Spirit to release and activate the power of this Buddha Flame Spirit, but it is enough to perform Wuxiang Qianren.
But the throwing and controlling skills of the flying knives recorded in it are not as simple as a few formulas. You need to practice diligently before you can master them. And you need to master at least five flying knives and control them skillfully to get started.
Because you need to inject some flame spirit power during practice, there are certain requirements for the toughness of the flying knives.
Needing five tough flying knives, Xu Yang couldn't help but think of Ouyang Cheng.
Ouyang Cheng not only hired three thieves to assassinate him this time, but also specially refined a long whip to restrain his three phantom pestles. Although he didn't succeed, he almost got killed by Yuan Liang. Thinking of this, he was very upset in his heart, and he had to think of a foolproof plan to eliminate this trouble that could bring him death at any time.
Three days later, in Ouyang Cheng's refining room.
Ouyang Cheng was instructing two servants to help him sort out the materials for refining, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the house.
"Is Elder Ouyang here? Xu Yang, a disciple of the Wood Spirit Academy, is here to bother you."
After a moment, the door creaked open and Ouyang Cheng came out to greet him.
"Mr. Xu, please come in." Ouyang Cheng said with a smile.
Ouyang Cheng stole a glance at Xu Yang, feeling uneasy. The three assassins he hired had lost contact, and most likely the assassination failed. Fortunately, he used a fake identity when he traded with the three assassins. Even if Xu Yang suspected him, he would never admit it until his death.
"You two should go out. Mr. Xu and I have something important to discuss." Ouyang Cheng said, and sent the two servants in the room out of the weapon refining room.
Only Xu Yang and Ouyang Cheng were left in the weapon refining room.
