Chapter 122 Nanming Sword Ball [Fat sheep deserve to be slaughtered, please subscribe! ]

His actions in the cave also caused a chain reaction throughout the mountain.

On the mountain peak, ancient trees swayed, birds and animals flew away in fright, and night insects fell silent. Li Yang looked up and saw a clear light pouring out from the top of the mountain, gradually forming a vortex of light that swirled and engulfed the surrounding darkness.

Qi Qiansu and others, who had just returned from the cave, were waiting for Li Yang at the entrance of the cave. They looked up and found something strange on the mountain, and their faces were filled with shock.

The changes continued. The night fell, the stars twinkled, the ancient trees towered, and a green and solemn aura suddenly emanated from the moss-covered mountain. The night wind blew through the forest, and the mountain slowly began to tremble as the clear light emerged.

"Let's go and see what's going on up there!" Li Yang's face changed and he flew up on his sword.

Qi Qiansu didn't know what Li Yang had experienced down there, but from observing Li Yang's expression and considering the current abnormality of the mountain, he knew that he must have found Fangshan's inheritance place.

All the way to the top of the mountain, the shaking of the mountain had already broken the silence of the night.

As the few people looked in shock, a crack suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain and slowly opened up from bottom to top.

The crack was bottomless, and rays of light flowed out from the crack like mercury, dazzling and bright, dispelling the shadows around it.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the mountain breeze was caressing gently, and a mysterious light was reflected on the faces of the Taoists, their eyes were full of wonder and longing. Under the shining of the clear light, the green and murderous aura of the mountain was replaced by a soft glow, and everything became sacred and incredible.

Li Yang stood above the crack while flying his sword, and his surprise was no less than that of the old Taoist priests.

He naturally knew that the bottom of this crack must be the stone tablet.

Li Yang suppressed the sword light and told Qi Qiansu the whole story in the Fangshan Tunnel. Everyone had different attitudes when they learned that there was such a cave in the cave.

"I wonder which sect's inheritance this is, why is there such a grand display?"

"I don't know, but the stone tablet below me once emitted a lot of clear light, which should be the sword immortal lineage of Shuchuan."

There are many schools of sword immortals, and although this school of sword immortals is famous among the people, it is not well-known in Taoism, and everyone was at a loss for words for a moment.

"I triggered the formation in the tunnel. Now I can only obtain the treasure after the remaining power of the formation dissipates. Judging from the speed, it should take about half a month."

Li Yang looked at the old Taoist priests' fascinated and eager expressions and smiled gently: "The formation below is extremely powerful, far beyond the current level. I almost couldn't get out. You should be honest before the remaining power of the formation disappears."

The meaning of Li Yang's words was very clear. This is not something you can deal with. Just wait for half a month and don't go down and seek death on your own.

After Li Yang said this, the old Taoist priests had to give up the idea. After sending a photo of the inscription to Qi Qiansu, Li Yang flew away on his sword.

There was no point in staying here, so Li Yang decided to go back to Baiyun Mountain first and come back to get the treasure after half a month.

Liu Ming on the next hill suddenly felt the earth shaking, and when he looked at the movement on the opposite mountain, he was dumbfounded.

This noise seems a bit too loud?

The other Taoists gathered around the crack, and suddenly helicopters and various armed forces came up the mountain, putting them in a dilemma.

"That great god has left, which means the treasure cannot be taken now..."

Soldiers began to search the mountain where the monkey was hiding. Liu Ming saw that the situation was not good, so he grabbed the little white monkey and flipped down the mountain.
-
Back at Baiyun Mountain, Zhao Ziyao and Wang Xin were arguing about the order in which to deliver the goods down the mountain and who had a higher status, the mountain guardian general or the founding disciple.

Li Yang didn't have time to deal with these two guys, so he flew directly to the back mountain to find Chi Yanhong.

After listening to Li Yang's explanation of the whole story, Chi Yanhong looked at the inscription on his phone and found a book in the temple to translate it.

The inscriptions were extremely obscure and difficult to understand. Although Chi Yanhong knew a little more about cloud-patterned ancient scrolls than Li Yang, his knowledge was not comprehensive. The two of them searched for a long time before they were able to decipher the general content of the inscriptions.

The general idea is that there is a sect called Nanming Sect, which feels that the spiritual energy is gradually disappearing and the power of its Taoism has been greatly reduced. In order to prevent the sect's inheritance from being cut off, they left eighteen sword pills in Hangao (now Fangshan), hoping that one day when the spiritual energy returns, the Nanming Sect's inheritance can reappear in the world.

As for the formation of the stone tablet and why it was hidden in the mountain of Fangshan, the inscription on the tablet explained that it was because they were worried that the treasure would be destroyed in the hands of mortals when the spiritual energy was extinguished.

They were also worried that the magic weapon would be taken away easily or monopolized by one person, so they set up the formation.

The formation will only be activated when the spiritual energy reaches a certain concentration, and it will be very powerful, leaving enough time for the phenomenon to last for half a month, so that those who are capable of taking the treasure can have the opportunity to do so, and the Nanming Sect can also expand again.

Regardless of the Nanming School's approach and vision, there were several terms in the inscription that caught their attention. One was "spiritual tide" and the other was "follow the tide".
The meanings of these two words are worth pondering.
Lingchao should mean spiritual energy. It is very appropriate for the Nanming School to compare the rise and fall of spiritual energy to the tide.

"Follow the tide..." Li Yang and Chi Yanhong pondered the meaning of the words, thinking of the migration of migratory birds and the schools of ocean fish swimming around with the current.

This part of the inscription contained very little description, and the key parts were simply worn away by weathering, so the two could no longer find any other information.

Then there are the two words "Jianwan" mentioned in the inscription.

The inscription on the stele records that the sword pill is a precious magic weapon given by the Nanming Sect to its disciples, and it has endless uses. Li Yang recalled the few iron pills emitting sword energy that he caught a glimpse of in front of the stele, and his mind was full of imagination.

The official Qingcheng Mountain side also quickly completed the deciphering of the inscription. After the two sides exchanged translations on the mobile phone, the translation content was similar.

"There is no record of this Nanming Sect in history, and I don't know which dynasty it was from. But based on the vision you described, the preciousness of this sword pill cannot be underestimated. In half a month, I will also go to Fangshan to fight for it!"

Chi Yanhong looked earnest. Her life-saving magic weapon, the Sun Essence Wheel, was indeed not powerful enough in attack. Most of the thunder talismans in her hand had been consumed, and the power of the thunder talismans was fixed. As her strength increased, its effectiveness would become lower and lower.

As for the practice of thunder magic that Li Yang taught her, she did not find the five thunders refining recorded in the magic, and its killing power was not outstanding.

According to the inscription, the sword pill is a magic weapon given as a reward to disciples, and the method of cultivation should not be something like a natal magic weapon, so it will be of great use to her.

Li Yang nodded. The inscription recorded that there were eighteen sword balls in total. After feeling the power of the formation, he could not guarantee that he could subdue all of them. It would be great to have Chi Yanhong to help him.

Li Yang's expression was complicated: "Chen Xiyan got the sword scroll in Dingshan, and now there is the sword pill in Fangshan. In addition, there are the ancient relics of the sword immortals in Sheshen Cliff of Mount Emei. It is true that there are many legends about sword immortals in Shuchuan."

Li Yang also likes the inheritance of sword immortals. It is not only cool but also very convenient for pretending to be cool and killing enemies. Now it seems that the inheritance of sword immortals is a bit common?
Could it be that those ancestors and heavenly masters also like the sword immortal's introverted and reserved style?

Chi Yanhong burst out laughing and understood what Li Yang was thinking:
"The methods are divided into inner elixir and qi-eating. Naturally, the sword immortal methods also have their own branches. I have heard of the sword scroll, but that is no longer a pure sword immortal method. Condensing sword energy requires a sword scroll conversion process. Without the pure sword immortal spiritual transformation, the only characteristic of the mind can only be regarded as a trick."

"I have rarely heard of the sword pill. There seems to be no record of the sword pill in the mainstream of Taoism?"

As he spoke, Chi Yanhong began to search the Internet for information about Jian Wan.

Apart from some modern online articles that could not be verified, the only records about Jianwan that Li Yang and Chi Yanhong found on the Internet were vague records in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "History of the Southern Tang Dynasty".

Among the short classical Chinese martial arts novels in the History of Southern Tang, there is one called "Pan Jian":
【Pan Qian often traveled between the Yangtze and Huai Rivers, calling himself a wild traveler, and had great ambitions. ... There were two tin bullets in the cage, and nothing else. Qian ... was shocked and said, "It must have been touched by the woman. Fortunately, I captured the light, otherwise, the woman's neck would have been broken!" ... Qian took out two tin balls from his arms and placed them in his palm. Suddenly, two air lines appeared, like white rainbows, slightly emerging from the tip of his finger. In a moment, they rotated and circled Kuang Guo's neck. Their momentum was rushing, and their sound was struggling. ... Qian smiled and raised one hand, and two white airs penetrated his palm again. After a while, they became two tin dragons again. 】

In addition, Li Yang also found a story about sword pills in Lu Changchun's "Yinxianglou Bintan" in the late Qing Dynasty. However, the sword pills in this story should not have been completed and had many restrictions.

"Just like the method of eating qi roots gradually transformed into the method of inner alchemy, this sword pill, from what I read in the book, has some shadows of traditional sword immortal methods. It should also be a branch variant of the predecessors."

After discussing for a long time, the two had to wait patiently for half a month to see what this so-called sword pill came from.

While people in Baiyun Mountain were gearing up for action, people in Beijing were in a state of chaos when they saw the documents being sent to them.

What? You said that the eight clear lights on Dingshan Mountain had gone to some unknown direction but have not been found yet, and now eighteen things called sword balls have appeared on your mountain?

Moreover, this thing is purely lethal. Will it be flying around everywhere again in half a month?
Judging from the fact that Ding Shan's sword scroll directly made Chen Xiyan retreat to the innate level, if your eighteen sword pills create eighteen random innate-level masters, wouldn't the whole of China be in chaos?

The news was reported bit by bit, and the level of the incident gradually escalated. Finally, a certain leader gave the order to send all the reliable people from the Taoist, Buddhist and military sects to Fangshan.

Aren't you looking for a successor? Aren't you looking to branch out? Just pick and choose among these people, don't jump out.

So in the past few days, a large number of people from Qingcheng Mountain, Wutai Mountain and the military rushed to Fangshan by car.

If one peak can’t hold it all, then try to fit in a few more peaks.

Fortunately, the people of Shuchuan had just moved back, and all walks of life were slowly recovering. Under the official isolation, no one noticed the abnormality in Fangshan.

But Liu Ming, who was guarding Fangshan, had a miserable time. He watched carloads of people rushing up the mountain, and gradually spreading from that peak to other peaks, retreating again and again, and finally almost withdrawing from the Fangshan peaks.

Liu Ming stopped and looked at the mountain with tears in his eyes. From where he was standing, he could only see its outline from afar. What the hell are you asking for?
