Chapter 39: The Hostages
When Yang Fan heard this, he observed the current realm, and indeed he had broken through to the peak of the middle of the foundation building period, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said to the immortal: "This... It's all luck, luck!"
"Hmph, no matter, you have to accompany us!" Xin Ruyi snorted softly.
Yang Fan looked at Master Lu and Lu Tianyun, and hurriedly sent a call for help to the two of them, Lu Tianyun coughed dryly, and after Master Lu recited a Dharma number, the two looked up at the sky together, when they didn't see anything, they looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, and they looked high.
Yang Fan looked back at Xin Ruyi, and found that Xin Ruyi was also looking at himself, seeing that he came back to his senses, Xin Ruyi smiled and said, "How are you thinking about it?"
Yang Fan suddenly had an urge to beat them, but he still held back, after all, the situation was stronger than people, so he had to admit it obediently, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay!"
Xin Ru agreed to Yang Fan honestly, then let him go, got up and said to Lu Tianyun and the two: "Okay, the matter has basically been resolved, without further ado, let's leave quickly, right?"
"You guys... You guys.. Discuss to blackmail me?" Yang Fan saw that a few of them looked like they had settled down, and immediately felt like crying and said without tears: "It's really careless in making friends, what kind of world is this." ”
Lu Tianyun smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Yang, don't be angry, you see, your strength has also increased greatly, with your current strength, it's not easy to get a demon pill in the Dan stage, and it will also make a few brothers cheap!"
"Look at your little bit of talent, for the sake of a mere demon pill, you can actually sell me, and you can still be a buddy!
"What? You are really angry, you have a chance, you can reward us with a few demon pills!" Xin Ruyi heard Yang Fan say this, and he was furious at that time, and directly crossed his waist and pointed at Yang Fan and said angrily.
"I ......" Yang Fan was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer this for a while, but after a while, he finally came down honestly and confessed.
......
As soon as the sky was bright, several figures appeared where Yang Fan and the others had stayed before, slightly observed the traces of their fight, and said: "Judging from this burning trace, this should be the work of the phosphorus fire bomb of the first line of the Qi Sect, but it is just ......."
"Hmph, don't spit out, just what?" the other asked coldly.
"It's just that judging from the burning marks, this shouldn't be the core disciple of the Instrument Sect, and the power is small. ”
"So, this Instrument Sect disciple is with someone else?" asked one again.
"That's true, this Treasure Weapon Sect disciple may have mediocre strength, but he may have a few powerful characters around him. The man said.
"Oh, how so?"
"You see, there are still some pollen and those broken branches left on the ground, these pollen I looked at, there is a certain viscosity, and there is also a certain coagulation power, and those broken branches are undoubtedly shattered, so this may be a body cultivator, Brother Morrow, this is quite consistent with the few people you lost before, I think, you should know who these people are, right?"
"Well, it's them, let's let them live a few more days, and don't forget the purpose of our trip. Morrow snorted.
"Yo! Brother Mo is really merciful, and when he still spares others, it really makes me wait for a big surprise!hahahaha!" The man mocked Mo Luo mercilessly.
The others laughed too, not taking what Morrow said to heart.
Mo Luo didn't care about their ridicule, and said lightly: "Then since you know that they have gone to the depths, they will meet sooner or later, so let's deal with our affairs without further ado." ”
After saying that, Moreau didn't wait for them to reply, and walked deeper on his own.
"Hehe, it's really unfriendly, and the temper is still so bad. After saying that, the man also chased in the direction of Morrow.
Seeing this, the others either chuckled and whispered, or smiled disdainfully, and they all went deeper into the depths, and soon the place was calm again, and after a gust of wind blew, there was no trace of any fighting on the ground, as if everything had never happened before.
......
"Why is this forest so weird, obviously there is no formation, why is it still this place after walking for so long?" Lu Tianyun and the others stopped and said.
"I don't know, but have the donors found a problem, if you count by time, we have been walking for at least seven hours, but since stepping into this area, we are like ghosts hitting the wall, do you say that we may have strayed into some forbidden area, so that we are constantly playing in circles. Master Lu spun around in place and said in a low voice.
"But that can't be said, you see, those birds without a realm don't seem to be affected, they can come and go freely!" Yang Fan said, pointing to the migratory birds flying overhead.
After Yang Fan said this, Master Lu and Lu Tianyun were stunned for a moment, and looked up at the sky, yes, those migratory birds in the sky obviously flew over their heads like this, but they were not affected at all.
Lu Tianyun picked up a stone on the ground, instilled a burst of mana, and shot it into the sky.
"Bump!"
The stone reached a certain height and slammed into a wall as if it were shattered by an invisible force.
When Yang Fan and the others saw this scene, their faces were extremely ugly.
Lu Tianyun said in a deep voice: "This should be a very powerful forbidden air formation, and it can basically be determined now, this is artificially arranged, and this series of problems on the ground must not be involved, but the people behind this curtain should have come out a long time ago." ”
"Then why hasn't it come out for so long?" Xin Ruyi asked suspiciously.
But there was no one to answer this question, and it was only one step at a time.
After discovering this problem, Master Lu and others also raised their vigilance to prevent mutations and some uncontrollable factors from occurring.
"Wait a minute!" Yang Fan suddenly called out a few people.
Lu Tianyun looked at Yang Fan suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Yang Fan ignored them, but hugged Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng whined a few times, Yang Fan glanced in the left direction, retracted his gaze and asked Xiao Feng, "Really?"
"Whoa!" Xiaofeng howled twice.
"What are you muttering there, what are you talking about?" Lu Tianyun asked Yang Fan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the breeze said it sensed the breath of life over there. ”
"What?" Lu Tianyun was startled, looked at Xiao Feng and said, "This pervert is so powerful?"
"Whoa!" Xiaofeng called out in protest.
"Alright, don't make any noise, let's go over there first. Yang Fan interrupted Lu Tianyun, who wanted to say something more, and said.
At that moment, a few people had no objections, and cautiously walked over there in the direction guided by Xiao Feng, but when they came here, they didn't find anything abnormal.
Several people looked around carefully, but still didn't find anything unusual, and then walked deeper in this direction.
It's just that after they passed through here, a head came out from behind a tree, this is a strange demon beast, it seems to be very good at camouflage, and it is integrated with the surrounding environment, it is no wonder that Yang Fan and they did not find anything when they passed by here, but they did not find it, it does not mean that Xiaofeng is not aware of it, it can be said that Xiaofeng's sense of smell is very keen, and it is difficult to escape its perception range if there is a little wind and grass.
"Woohoo, woohoo!"
After Yang Fan heard what Xiao Feng said, he slammed his fist into the tree, and sure enough, after Yang Fan smashed the tree, a lizard-like demon beast suddenly appeared, but this demon beast didn't look fierce, but from the realm point of view, it had also reached the realm of the Dan stage.
Lu Tianyun slapped his forehead when he saw this lizard and said depressedly: "It turns out that this guy is doing tricks on the tree demon lizard, no wonder we can't get out here for so long." ”
"Amitabha!" Master Lu recited the syntax and said: "This tree demon lizard has reached the stage of knotting, and it may not be necessary that it has inherited its natural powers, so don't be careless!"
Yang Fan was confused when he heard this, and asked eagerly: "What kind of tree demon lizard is very powerful, what kind of talent is supernatural?"
Master Lu explained: "The strength of the tree demon lizard itself may not be powerful, but it is very good at camouflage, blending in with the surrounding environment, and even more, even if you have it from its side, you may not be able to detect it. ”
"What do you mean, master, are you saying that we haven't been able to get out of this area for so long, and it's all caused by this guy in front of us?" Yang Fan swallowed and asked in disbelief.
"Exactly, the body of an adult tree demon lizard can emit a strange poisonous gas, although this gas will not be fatal, but its power lies in giving people hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, when people are exhausted, it is when this tree demon lizard gives the other party a fatal blow!" Master Lu patiently explained to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan looked at this tree demon lizard in amazement, if it weren't for Xiao Feng, he didn't know how long it would have to go.
"But don't worry, if you talk about the strength of this tree demon lizard, it will definitely not be as powerful as the previous tree spirit, but this tree demon lizard is full of treasures!" Lu Tianyun said.
Xin Ruyi also came to join in the fun at this time, and said to Yang Fan: "This tree demon lizard will be given to us, and the demon pill can be regarded as offset!
Yang Fan's second monk was puzzled, what was going on, and said in wonder: "Then there shouldn't be anything for me here, I'll find a place to rest first!"
"No, Brother Yang, this is really indispensable without your help, don't listen to her, this demon beast's inner dan is given to you, and the body belongs to us, what do you think?" Lu Tianyun hurriedly said.
"Okay! It's pretty much the same!" Yang Fan smiled after hearing this, and looked at the tree demon lizard side by side with them.
Yang Fan stepped forward with a smile on his face, standing side by side with them and looking at the tree demon lizard.
The tree demon lizard spat out its snake-like tongue slightly, and when it saw that several people were slowly surrounding itself as if provocative, it instinctively felt threatened, so it took the lead in attacking.
"Boom!"
But before it hit anyone, Master Lu and Yang Fan's big fists were already approaching, and it was obviously too late to dodge at this time, although it had thick skin and thick flesh, but it couldn't withstand the repeated attacks of several people, just half a pillar of incense, Yang Fan and others killed this tree demon lizard, everyone was relieved, this has not yet entered the depths, they have encountered all kinds of problems, if they go to the depths, they don't know if they can come out alive, Yang Fan and several people are all emotional.
"It's useless to think so much, people die for money, birds die for food, and now you can only look at one step and take one step. Lu Tianyun said heartily, and then said with a change of words: "Several, the value of this tree demon lizard is already very expensive, if anyone wants to give up can say it, this tree demon lizard will be given to him, no matter what, it is also the same life and death, sharing hardships and sorrows, I hope to meet in the future or if there is anything that needs help, I hope you can remember the old love, spare no effort to help." ”
No one made a sound for a long time, and just as Lu Tianyun said, people die for money, birds die for food, and wealth is sought in danger, after all, these dangerous places are not everywhere, and the opportunities inside are even more unavoidable, so how can you give up when you come here.
"Does anyone want to give up?" Xin Ruyi also asked.
"Do you want to give up?" Xin Ruyi asked Yang Fan, Yang Fan shook his head and did not speak, and asked Master Lu again, Master Lu also shook his head, obviously not giving up easily.
Seeing this, Lu Tianyun glanced at Master Lu and said, "Since no one has given up, let's divide this tree demon lizard." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "As far as I know, through this forest, it is really into the depths, the depths of Panjian Mountain are their own space, I don't know how big it is, but because the laws inside are not perfect, everyone is randomly teleported after we go in, and if you want to come out, you also have to find a way to solve it, if you are lucky enough not to die in it, but if you can't get out, it is no different from dying in it, how many can you think about it clearly?"
In fact, Lu Tianyun said this to Yang Fan, after all, several of them have extraordinary backgrounds, and they have already made a lot of preparations before coming here, but Yang Fan is different, in their opinion, although Yang Fan has dual cultivation of the Dharma Body, after all, he is from the mortal realm, and the background and resources behind him are incomparable to them.
In the end, several people were reluctant to quit, and after unifying their opinions, they walked together into the depths of the forest.
......
Somewhere in the wilderness.
"Hurry up, hurry up for me, haven't you eaten? Are you all there is to this, if so, it's still too late to quit!" Yang Dinglong kept shouting here, training this group of teams all composed of the Innate Realm, after a period of harsh training, these people have cultivated a unique team fighting spirit, and the worst of this group of people has now reached the middle stage of the Innate Realm, and a few of the outstanding ones have advanced to the foundation building stage.
After this team was carefully selected layer by layer, and finally formed a team of 100 people under Yang Dinglong's various tests.
There are only one hundred people in this team, whether it is their mind, loyalty, and willpower, they are the best choice, and then Yang Dinglong personally cultivates these people.
It can be said that these people carried a lot of Yang Dinglong's hard work, or perhaps inspired by Yang Fan's physical training, Yang Dinglong began to spare no effort to build an army composed of physical cultivation.
Looking at the overweight training of these hundreds of people one by one, Yang Dinglong also had a feeling in his heart, and was about to do something more, when his expression suddenly moved, looking at a figure galloping on a horse in the distance, this person was Li Kui, Yang Dinglong's eyes flashed a hint of discoloration, all the big and small matters in the house Yang Dinglong had already been handed over to Li Kui to take care of, if there was nothing that could not be handled Li Kui would not come here to find him in person, Yang Dinglong ordered them to continue training, and he was waiting for Li Kui to come over.
"Lord Wang!" After Li Kui arrived, he looked at the group of people trained by Yang Dinglong in surprise, and after a short shock, he reined in his mind and saluted Yang Dinglong.
"Sit!" Yang Dinglong waved his hand, made a pot of tea, and motioned for Li Kui to sit down.
"Yes. After Li Kui received the order, he sat respectfully opposite Yang Dinglong.
After three rounds of tea, Yang Dinglong saw that Li Kui was a little restrained and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Lord, the court has come to decree. Li Kui said softly.
"Oh, what does the Holy Decree say?" Yang Dinglong raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The decree says. Say.. Li Kui was a little nervous.
"Say it quickly!" Yang Dinglong seemed to see that something was wrong, and snorted lightly, urging Li Kui to hurry up.
"Yes!" Li Kui wiped the sweat on his face and sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Lord Wang, the imperial court issued a decree saying that it was suspected that the third prince had a private transaction with the Ming State, so he forced the Ming State to withdraw his troops. ”
"Smack!" The tea Yang Dinglong held in his hand was instantly crushed by him, and said coldly: "It's too much of a deception!"
"Lord Wang, what should we do?" Li Kui was also very helpless and asked softly.
Yang Dinglong knocked lightly on the coffee table, stood up after a while, and said, "Escorting Fan'er is fake, he is testing my bottom line and wants me to send a hostage to him." ”
"Lord Wang, this is a conspiracy, if you really send the third young master over, the court will definitely get worse, if you don't send it, they just have a justifiable reason, Lord Wang, why don't we just start an incident, overthrow the traitorous court, and change the sky!" Li Kui's eyes flashed, and he said fiercely.
"It's not the time yet, we still need some time. Yang Dinglong pondered for a while and said.
"But, Lord Wang, we can't really send the third prince over. Li Kui was also in a hurry.
"It's easy to capture the capital, but do you have a way to fight their Ancestor Ancestor?" Yang Dinglong asked.
"This... Li Kui instantly stopped breathing, and asked Yang Dinglong dejectedly: "Lord Wang, it's not a way for us to go on like this." ”
Yang Dinglong snorted coldly and said: "What's the hurry, what we want now is time, since he wants us to send someone to be hostages for them, then it's as they wish, as little as three months, as much as half a year, and then the new and old hatreds will be counted together." ”
"Lord Wang, do you mean ......" Before Li Kui could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Dinglong.
"You just know it, go ahead, do a good job of daily management, and occasionally make some small things out, don't make them suspicious. Yang Dinglong paused, and then said: "In addition, you arrange for Xuan'er to prepare, let Xuan'er go to the imperial court, meet the emperor for a while, and see the faces of hundreds of officials in their imperial court." ”
"Lord Wang, this. Li Kui looked at Yang Dinglong puzzled.
"It doesn't matter, they don't dare to take Xuan'er, it's just an expedient measure, they want us to take someone as a hostage, but this king also wants to take this opportunity to practice Xuan'er, as for how he does it, this king doesn't care, you explain to Xuan'er and pass a word to him for this king." Yang Dinglong said.
"Lord Wang, please command. Li Kui bowed.
"You tell Xuan'er that no matter how he maneuvers, this king wants half a year of peaceful development. Yang Dinglong said.
"Yes!" After Li Kui received the order, Yang Dinglong waved his hand to let Li Kui go back.
Yang Dinglong quietly looked at the hundred people for a while, and suddenly whispered: "I hope everything goes well!"
......
Yang Fan and the others walked through this forest, and in front of them was a lake, and several people breathed the fresh air here.
After several people adjusted their state, Lu Tianyun said: "Several, this lake is the entrance to Panjian Mountain, it is very large, and the location after everyone enters is different, I hope everyone can come back alive, if you have a chance to see you again in the future, you must have a good time!" After speaking, Lu Tianyun stretched out his hand and touched his fist with everyone.
hugged his fists and said goodbye: "Everyone, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, and there will be a period in the future!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to reply, jumped into the lake, and to Yang Fan's surprise, there was no popping sound, but when Lu Tianyun touched the lake, he still maintained the appearance of diving, but there was no ripple on the lake, and he disappeared from the upper body.
Xin Ruyi also walked over at this time, and wanted to tease Xiaofeng, but was shrunk back by Xiaofeng, Xin Ruyi pouted and said, "Stingy, there will be a period later!"
After that, the whole person was like Lu Tianyun, jumping and disappearing in front of them.
The rest of Master Lu did not rush to follow, but stopped Yang Fan, handed Yang Fan a string of Buddhist beads, and said: "Master Yang, if he is free in the future, he can come to my Tianyin Temple as a guest, and use this Buddha bead as a token." ”
"This... Thank you, Master!" Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and after taking the Buddha beads, he folded his hands and thanked him.
"No need to be polite, the poor monk Yang donor's numerology is extraordinary, the future achievements must be limitless, if the donor can trust my Tianyin Temple, you can come to Tianyin Temple for help. Master Lu folded his hands and saluted in return, and then walked towards the lake as well, gradually disappearing from Yang Fan's field of vision.
Yang Fan pondered for a long time, and did not leave for a long time, Master Lu's words seemed to reveal some information to him, but he couldn't say how to feel, Master Lu seemed to have foreseen something.
"Alas. . . No matter, one step at a time. Yang Fan scratched his head with both hands and said with a big head.
Then, he also learned from Lu Tianyun and them, came to the lake and jumped off.
