My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 396 I'll let you go—I lied to you!

Jiang Yan tilted his head slightly.

"Are you serious? Did she run into your gun because she didn't want to hide?"

Thunder shook the sky, wind rose and clouds suddenly rose, and heavy rain filled the deep pit. In a few moments, it accumulated into a puddle, with broken bodies and blood rolling on it.

The dead silent scene seemed to be frozen. He stood silently in the crowd, holding a spear upside down. His clothes were torn, revealing his strong and tight muscles, which was totally inconsistent with his old face.

The wind is howling~

"Haha... Daoist friend, good trick~"

"Using the formation to distort the position of Elder Lin and me, and then using the mind-confusing magic to confuse my perception and make us kill each other, hehe..."

After saying this, he thrust the bright white spear in his hand into the ground, hunched over again, looking dejected, as if he was ready to surrender and wait to be killed, stroking his beard and speaking helplessly.

"Well, well, what do you want, fellow Daoist? Do you want me to work for you, or do you have a crush on me, or do you want to kill me..."

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are just a gift."

"Is this a reconciliation?"

Jiang Yan glanced at Lin Wanyue, who died with her eyes open in the pit, and shook his head.

"I was just setting up an ambush for my friend to help him break free from that demon. I wanted to capture him alive."

"What a pity! The object that Daoyou moved was too amazing. I had to adjust the formation. I couldn't capture him alive before you killed him."

Yu Zhong was silent: "So...if I hadn't done anything from the beginning, Elder Lin wouldn't be dead now?"

"right"

"........."

Jiang Yan's lips curled up slightly: "Don't blame yourself, it's better for her to die now, so that later..."

The conversation ended, Jiang Yan didn't say anything more, and Yu Zhong didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, I'm quite curious about the Huayinfang organization. From what I heard from your conversation just now, you should have joined Huayinfang as a casual cultivator. I wonder what you think of this organization? How much do you know about it?"

Yu Zhong lowered his head and pondered for a long time, as if he was considering his words, and then he slowly spoke, but he did not mention Huayinfang, but asked:

"Do you know Yunxia Sect?"

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and looked normal.

"I've heard about it in some ancient books, but not in detail. Could it be that this Huayinfang is related to the former Yunxia Sect?"

Yu Zhong laughed, but his tone was a little strange.

"If we investigate in detail, Huayinfang can actually be said to be the origin of Yunxia Sect's Taoist tradition."

"What do you mean?"

Yu Zhong did not delay and said directly: "Hundreds of years ago, Yunxia Sect was a top-notch sect, prosperous and numerous small and medium-sized sects flocked to it. But fellow Daoist, you know... if we pull the time forward to three hundred years ago, Yunxia Sect at that time was just a wild and barbaric sect in the mountains."

"Some of these monks even have problems with basic cultivation, not to mention that later on, the low-level monks are worse than dogs and the high-level monks are everywhere."

Jiang Yan vaguely felt that there was some big secret hidden in it, and it was a secret related to himself, so he couldn't help but ask.

"What happened in this process that led to the sudden rise of the Yunxia Sect?"

When Yu Zhong saw that Jiang Yan expressed obvious "interest" in this matter, he wanted to use it to buy his freedom, but his many years of experience as a casual cultivator made him give up the idea of ​​letting other people's moods determine his own destiny.

Answer honestly.

"I am not too sure about the reasons behind this, but what is certain is that the rise of Yunxia Sect is inseparable from two things."

"What is it?"

Yu Zhong looked at him dimly: "One of them is a sacred stone."

Jiang Yan frowned: "What does it do? What does it look like?"

"It has no fixed shape, and has different faces to different people. Some people see it as a stone, some see it as a dark tree, some see it as a charming fox demon, and some see it as a mortal enemy..."

"I don't know why they call it a divine stone, I only know that one of its functions is... to comprehend the laws~"

Jiang Yan's heart was lifted, and he asked calmly:

"You said that the magic stone can help people comprehend the laws? Does that mean they can become immortals? Has anyone succeeded? What laws can it help people master?"

Yu Zhong was secretly delighted. "I don't believe this news won't attract your attention!"

On the surface, he said: "Yes, the magic stone can indeed make people comprehend the laws, and can also make people become immortals. There have been several people in the Yunxia Sect who have achieved the body of a true immortal, among whom the most famous is the Songdie Fairy."

"The song "Nine Skies Embracing the Moon" turns clouds into blades, destroying mountains and breaking seas. Wherever it passes, mountains and rivers collapse, and even the universe can be crushed into dust."

"And now, the magic stone is in the hands of the master of Huayinfang. All the disciples in the academy who have faith in the magic stone can go and comprehend the magic stone. That is why I joined Huayinfang..."

Jiang Yan was shocked when he heard this. One has to know that after the Abyss Demon Disaster three hundred years ago, the number of immortals in the entire continent began to decline sharply. On the one hand, the fragments of laws in the Nether Dust Realm were contaminated with the will of their master, that is, the will of the Abyss monsters.

If you use it lightly for a short time, it's fine, but if you use it for a long time, you will basically be affected by the abyss. The abyss war three hundred years ago was so difficult because most of the immortals on our side turned against us at the last minute.

Only those beings who have comprehended the Law for themselves can be free from its influence.

But if everyone can comprehend it on their own, there will be no need to go to the Nether Dust Realm to snatch those fragments of the laws.

This also indirectly illustrates the difficulty of understanding the laws on one's own.

In this case, the ability of this magical stone to help people understand the laws is extremely valuable.

"According to you, what kind of law can the divine stone help people comprehend?"

Yu Zhong shook his head.

"I don't know. There are many different opinions about the laws on this magic stone. Some say it's the law of learning discipline, some say it's about entering the Tao through emotions, and some say it's about entering the Tao through fighting. But after a hundred years of testing by the Yunxia Sect, it can be roughly determined to be the way of the seven emotions, or the law of the seven emotions."

"The Seven Emotions have been the most elusive throughout history, but it's not like no one has tried. But why do I feel that the Seven Emotions of the Yunxia Sect are different from the Seven Emotions I understand? Could it be that the method this magic stone uses to help people realize the truth is different?"

He stroked his beard and chuckled in front of everyone.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed very insightful. The seven emotions on this magic stone are not the complete seven emotions, but each of them is incomplete. To comprehend the laws is not to directly contact the laws, but to pass down the magic skills and practice the secret methods of the magic skills to fill the completeness of the magic stone's laws. In the process of filling, you comprehend the laws. This is countless times faster than comprehending by feeling."

"After the fall of the Yunxia Sect, Huayinfang brought the divine stone out. But I don't know if it was originally flawed or if the disciples didn't practice well enough, the divine skills they comprehended were all incomplete, and it was even more difficult to comprehend the laws."

Jiang Yan's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard that. His originally fiery heart suddenly cooled down and he lost interest. Even Yu Zhong could clearly feel the change in Jiang Yan's attitude.

He could not help but feel anxious and asked hesitantly, "Your reaction seems to be very disappointed? But is what I said wrong?"

Jiang Yan sighed a little, and said frankly without hiding anything:

"I thought it was a treasure that could reach the essence of the Great Dao, or a treasure for preaching from a certain ancient sect, but I didn't expect it to be this kind. If the divine stone is really as you said, it may really be a shortcut for ordinary people, but for those geniuses who aspire to the Great Dao, it is like honey to others but poison to me."

Seeing everyone puzzled, Jiang Yan asked again:

"Have you ever seen a spiritual field where seedlings are forced to grow?"

"It seems that the cultivators of Yunxia Sect have seen the Dao through the magic stone, but in fact they have grafted their souls onto the Dao principles planted by others. Those skills are like grafted branches. They grow rapidly in the early stage, but they will never bear their own Dao fruits. In other words, the owner of the magic stone is dead. If he is not dead..."

Jiang Yan didn't say anything else, but everyone felt a chill in their hearts after hearing what he said. Their hands and feet felt cold and they felt an indescribable nausea.

For these independent cultivators who fight against heaven, earth and people, there is nothing more disgusting than using all their cultivation to serve as a tool for others, let alone reaching this level.

Jiang Yan, however, felt something in his heart.

'Three hundred years ago... the Abyss Demon Disaster broke out three hundred years ago, and this so-called "magic stone" also suddenly appeared three hundred years ago. It is possible that there is some connection between the two... It seems that I really have to go to the Huayinfang this time.'

As for whether it was right or wrong to trespass into another person's sect and even covet their treasures... it was not within Jiang Yan's consideration at all.

One fallen leaf can tell the coming of autumn; a glimpse of a small part can reveal the whole picture. The fact that Lin Wanyue, an elder in the sect, recklessly uses other people's names as bargaining chips is enough to tell his overall character.

So Jiang Yan didn't feel much psychological pressure about this.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan turned his gaze to Yu Zhong again.

Since I have decided to break into the mountain gate, I must learn more about the inside information of Huayinfang. Originally, I was going to interrogate Lin Wanyue, but unfortunately, it has become "Mumu Rabbit II".

After putting forward his request, everyone fell silent.

Of course, it wasn't that he was so loyal to Huayinfang that he didn't want to betray her. He was just thinking about whether he could persuade the other party to let him go, and weighing the pros and cons.

Jiang Yan was also waiting quietly. The rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and the clouds were suddenly surging, just like the turbulent emotions of the crowd.

Suddenly, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, with a drizzle. The clouds in the sky looked like a golden crow spreading its wings, and the bright sun broke through the clouds and shone directly on the ground.

The rain has stopped~

"How is it? Have you thought about it?"

Everyone looked up.

"Fellow Daoist, if I tell you everything, can you let me go?"

"Of course, my words are as good as white soap, and I will never go back on them."

Seeing Jiang Yan's solemn assurance, Yu Zhong almost believed it for a moment, but he still pretended to be relieved and began to tell the story slowly.

Jiang Yan listened and his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned. After a while.

"So, this Huayinfang has no fixed territory, and you can only gather when the master summons you?"

Yu Zhong bowed and nodded: "Yes, I was found secretly by the Huayin Pavilion because I was well-known among the casual cultivators, and finally promised to join the pavilion."

As he spoke, he took out an oval black jade pendant and placed it in front of Jiang Yan.

"This is the communication jade pendant of the workshop. If there is any need or important matter, you can use it to contact other people, including the workshop owner..."

Jiang Yan studied it for a moment and then put it away. Looking at the thin old man in front of him, who was still crouching and cowering, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Those who can cultivate to this level as casual practitioners are really not easy to deal with. They are either demons or children of luck. They are comparable to a certain Korean model worker."

"Okay, I got what I wanted, you can go now."

Yu Zhong didn't say anything like "Really? You're going to let me go now?" Instead, he simply bowed and decisively used his escape technique to drill into the ground and rushed straight in a certain direction.

In a matter of seconds, Jiang Yan was no longer able to perceive the situation.

Jiang Yan raised his hand and a sachet floating on the surface of the accumulated water in the huge deep pit in front of him fell into Jiang Yan's hand.

Without the suppression of its owner Lin Wanyue, the things in the sachet began to become restless, as if it could break out at any time.

But now that he fell into Jiang Yan's hands, he immediately calmed down and behaved himself.

Jiang Yan threw the sachet casually, looked into the distance and muttered.

"I am a good person who keeps his word, and I think so myself. But what other people do besides me has nothing to do with me..."

…………

After running for hundreds of miles, Yu Zhong came out of the ground! He did not dare to stop at all, the silver light of the boundary ruler in his hand flashed, he took a step forward, and then the space around him trembled and blurred, as if wrapped in bubbles.

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot and appeared hundreds of miles away. Even so, he still did not dare to relax and shuttled several times in a row until the boundary ruler in his hand was about to collapse and then he stopped...

He took a long breath, took out the spirit stone and began to recover the energy consumed in his body.

Although he escaped danger today, he was under great psychological pressure, as he was facing a person who might be a master of formation, and he was also in the opponent's formation.

This is not a good experience...

If I am not careful, it may be difficult to end. Now that I have finally escaped, I feel a little weak in my legs due to my relaxed mind...

"Fortunately... I didn't use my backup plan. Although I believe I won't die, I still don't have the hang of it. I'll just not use it if I can..."

As he spoke, he looked at the ruler in his hand, which was already covered with cracks, and now it looked like a candle in the wind, as if it would break at any time.

This made him extremely heartbroken.

"I'm afraid this Jieyou Ruler will completely break into pieces if I use it a few more times. This trip is a huge loss! That damn woman Lin Wanyue didn't even know who she had provoked. She almost caused my most precious treasure to collapse!"

"Your little ruler is very interesting. Where did you get it from?"

Suddenly, a pleasant and clear voice sounded from behind him, and every sound was soft and sweet, like the sound of a jade chime.

But the crowd did not feel it was pleasant to the ears, they just felt a chill all over their bodies!

There was no living being except him within a few miles, and he had used his divine sense to investigate when he came here, so he was sure that he was not being followed by anyone.

But the voice of the girl behind him didn't sound fake!

In front of everyone's eyes, ferocious, the bright white dragon spine spear slipped out of his hand, and he stepped forward across his crotch, breaking the ground suddenly!

The skin swelled up quickly, and he twisted his waist and turned his body with great force, sweeping away thousands of troops suddenly through the air behind him, bringing with it a roaring sonic boom!

A crescent spear pierced through the void and fell straight to the source of the sound!

boom!

The spear's remaining force landed on a small hill, causing the mountain to collapse and the ground to crack. The continuous heavy rain and this stunning blow caused the earth to collapse.

He actually flattened a small hill!

However... Yu Zhong's pupils suddenly shrank in shock.

There is no other reason, because although the attack came suddenly and swiftly, it did not actually hit the opponent.

He could clearly sense that the other party was not an elusive phantom like Jiang Yan.

The opponent was able to dodge his attack because of his strong cultivation and physical body, and he was able to tear through space to dodge!

"What the hell! What kind of monster is this?"
