Chapter 333: Two Altars
Yao Lao's words, Zhang Yan faintly knew the life experience of Donggong Qiyue, which was quite extraordinary.
It's no wonder that she was secretly disguised, and I don't know if the person who did it was Donggong Qiyue's grandmother.
Moreover, the people of the Donggong family, seeing that their ancestors had not appeared for nearly a hundred years, thought that Donggong Ming had fallen.
may also be because of this, since then, the Donggong family has been in a slump.
It's just that Zhang Yan didn't speak rashly, and waited for Yao Lao to continue.
At this moment, Yao Lao fell silent, his eyes were full of reminiscence, and the meaning of the endless vicissitudes of life on his face was dyed for a long time.
"Grandpa Yao, what about my grandmother? I heard my mother mention that before I could say anything, my grandmother was gone, and no one knew where her old man was......
Donggong Qiyue now also knows that her life experience is a little special, and she has inherited the Wu clan bloodline in her grandmother's body from generation to generation, although she has never seen it, but it seems that there is a sense of blood connection in her bones, she couldn't help but look at Yao Lao and asked.
"Your grandmother didn't fall at the beginning, but just returned to the ancient town of the Ice Nether, but later, for the sake of her own clan, she took the risk of falling and secretly cultivated the top secret method of the Wu clan, hoping to break the ban left by the ancestors in the Frost Mountain, enter the Land of Ice and Hell, and obtain the Ghost Stone. ”
Yao Lao couldn't help but show a trace of sadness on his face, and said with a sigh: "It's a pity that your grandmother underestimated the horror of the prohibition left by her ancestors back then, and she was already besieged by the compound killing array inside before she could get in touch with the Ice Netherland.
"We thought that with your grandmother's cultivation in the early days of the Yuan Infant, since she was able to break out of the Frost Mountain, it shouldn't be a big problem. But after waiting for the old man to investigate carefully, he found that your grandmother's entire soul and primordial infant have been shattered by the secret art of her own clan, and she was able to persist in breaking out completely by virtue of her own powerful ideas, just to be able to transfer something to your grandfather's hands...... It's a pity that even your grandfather is no longer here......"
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Donggong Qiyue's face showed sadness, as if she thought of coming alone since she was a child, and tears began to slowly open in her eyes.
But to Zhang Yan's surprise, the cold-faced girl opposite suddenly began to sob, which was inexplicable.
"Speaking of which, that's also Yilan's grandmother, Yilan's mother is the orphan that your grandmother picked up, and the two of you can be regarded as two sisters. ”
Seeing Yilan's sad appearance, Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Your sister Yilan has been with your grandmother for a while, but unfortunately it was life and death later. The desire of my people to return to their homeland is too strong!"
"Humph!"
Hearing that she was actually right with the girl who was thinking about it with resentful words before and after, Donggong Qiyue didn't have a good feeling at all, snorted lightly, and turned her head.
The girl with a cold face was also quite resentful, and she also turned her head around.
Yao Lao saw that the two little girls were sulking, and he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, his big hand raised slightly, and two black stones like black gems the size of his thumb had appeared in the palm of his hand, and there was a faint streamer overflowing on it.
"This is the Holy Soul Stone, which was obtained by your grandmother in the depths of the Frost Mountain, this should be obtained by the ancestor in the Forest Spirit Domain, which is extremely beneficial to the assistance of the Divine Soul cultivation. Now that your grandfather is gone, Grandpa Yao is in charge, and you all have one piece. ”
Yao Lao handed the two holy soul stones to the two little girls, told Haosheng to put them away, and then continued: "When I met your grandfather, it was considered an accident, and Grandpa Yao thought that since I could meet it, it could also be regarded as your grandfather's fate, so I pointed out one or two at will, and gave my own understanding of the artistic conception of the years, one by one. Unexpectedly, your grandfather's understanding is extremely amazing, and in a short period of time, it is already the first glimpse of the door. It's just that your grandfather said that he wanted to go out of Lu to practice, so he and your grandmother went out of the Ice Immortal Ancient Town, but they didn't expect to go like this, so they didn't see Lu again. Now that you are here, Grandpa Yao thinks that you can stay, and in terms of cultivation, Grandpa Yao can guide you to the realm of the Yuan Infant Stage and pass on the supreme secret method of your Wu clan. ”
Donggong Qiyue listened to Yao Lao's words, and her face was gloomy, but she also showed a slight look of embarrassment, and she seemed to be struggling in her heart.
"Yue'er doesn't need to be in a hurry, as for whether you stay or return to the Donggong family, after you come out of the Frost Mountain, it's not too late to give Grandpa a reply. ”
Yao Lao also saw the little girl's hesitation, and it was difficult to make up his mind, so he couldn't help but speak again.
Although Donggong Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief, there was still confusion in her eyes.
Regarding the fact that Donggong Ming did not fall, Zhang Yan stopped talking several times, but he still didn't speak, feeling that it was not the time.
Half a day later, Zhang Yan took Donggong Qiyue to say goodbye to Yao Lao.
However, before leaving, Yao Lao took out an ancient book from his body that was essentially like a black stone, saying that it was one of the rewards for entering the Frost Mountain to obtain the ghost stone this time.
On the ancient books, the two quaint characters of "Medicine Sutra" made Zhang Yan's heart shake, and he knew that the value of this ancient book was absolutely immeasurable.
Because he had already seen from the girl's words before, that this so-called medicine ancestor should be equal to the earth-level or even heaven-level alchemist in the outer immortal cultivation world, and the "Medicine Sutra" given by the other party must be extremely extraordinary.
Zhang Yan naturally did not refuse, and happily accepted it, and Yao Lao instructed that the Frost Mountain would be opened in three days, and then he would go to the Ice Altar in the north of the city to meet the girl and others.
After that, Zhang Yan left the Ice Hades Temple.
After leaving the Ice Hades Palace, Zhang Yan and Donggong Qiyue did not return to the inn immediately, but walked around the Ice Hades Ancient Town.
At this moment, the flow of people in the ancient town of Bing Ming has reached a peak, and all kinds of monks come and go, crowded with people, and the shouting and shouting along the street come and go.
Moreover, there are a lot of strange things on the street, which dazzles the two of them for a while, but unfortunately, none of them can be seen by Zhang Yan, and they are not of much practical use, but Donggong Qiyue, for those extremely weird gadgets, they all bought the same, and their faces were full of joy.
Zhang Yan saw that the little girl was so excited, so he followed the latter, throwing out spirit stones all the way, and they were not too expensive, and he didn't care about it.
However, Zhang Yan bought an elixir that could supplement the mana in the early stage of the foundation building period at a pharmacy of a chamber of commerce, Zengyuan Dan.
This Zengyuan Pill is many times stronger than the Qi Induction Pill that is most commonly used by Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
Zengyuan Pill, for ordinary Qi refining period monks, definitely don't dare to take it rashly, because it is specially used for foundation building period monks and above to take supplementary mana, the medicinal power is too strong, if one is not done well, there may be an explosion.
However, for Zhang Yan, he was not worried at all, the medicinal power of this Zengyuan Pill was no problem at all for him to be as majestic as the mana of a monk in the middle of the foundation building period.
After buying ten Zengyuan Pills for himself and Donggong Qiyue, and using millions of spirit stones, Zhang Yan was not distressed at all, and after walking around for half an hour, the two of them returned to the inn where Mo Buwen and the others were in the east of the city.
However, to Zhang Yan's surprise, Cang Jiuyan, the old woman of the Wu family, Su Yingzhen, a middle-aged woman from the Donggong family, Du Xinghai of the Wei family, Wei Nan and several others actually appeared in the inn.
And when Zhang Yan took Donggong Qiyue into the inn, he found that the few people who came, except for Cang Jiuyan, all looked at him with extremely strange and complicated eyes, especially Su Yingzhen, whose eyes showed even more surprise and uneasiness.
The expressions of these people made Zhang Yan inexplicable, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Yushan, seeing that the latter's eyes were a little flickering, and his expression was embarrassed.
After the last, Zhang Yan had to look at Cang Jiuyan suspiciously, and said, "Senior Cang, why are you here, what are you all doing?"
"Haha......ha Unexpectedly, Master Zhang's nephew turned out to be a disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, and now he has entered the Shangguan family, which really makes the old man envious!"
Before Cang Jiuyan could speak, Du Xinghai on the side was a little bigger, and then he looked at Zhang Yan as if he was looking at a monster and a treasure, and said with a smile: "Moreover, Senior Nephew Zhang is still an alchemist, and he can refine the Immortal Pill, so the level of alchemy should be close to the Xuan level, right?"
As soon as Du Xinghai's words came out, the eyes of the other people present were also looking at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.
Wei Nan, who was on the side, looked suspicious, and a trace of fluctuation faintly flashed in his eyes.
"The predecessors are too famous, and the alchemy techniques of the younger generations are just the number of wild cultivation paths, and it is still difficult to reach the hall of elegance. As for the identities of the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect, I hope that a few of them can keep it a secret. ”
Zhang Yan was already bitter at the moment, and now that his identity as a disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect was exposed, it might bring trouble to the Shangguan family, and he could only blame him for easily revealing the Nether Spirit Bead before, and he couldn't imagine that Wu Yushan actually said this, otherwise he couldn't guess whether he was a disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, Du Xinghai and a few others, and as for the others, they didn't know about his relationship with the Shangguan family at all.
However, now that the matter has come to this, Zhang Que thought that Du Xinghai and the others would definitely not dare to reveal it before confirming whether he was still a disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, let alone such a family in Blastwind City, even if it was the Blue City, it was extremely fearful for the Thousand Spirits Sect, unless the family of Du Xinghai and the others wanted to face the danger of annihilation.
Although with Zhang Yan's identity, there is no way to pose a threat to several families at all, but in addition to being a disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, he is also an alchemist, and in the minds of the other party, his identity in the Thousand Spirits Sect will definitely not be ordinary, so he must be a little afraid and jealous in his heart.
After a moment of deep silence, Zhang Yan turned his head to look at Cang Jiuyan, and after giving a salute, he pointed to Lin Xiaotang and the others, and said slightly apologetically: "Senior Cang, this is my senior brother, and the others are my friends, when the frost mountain opens, the juniors may have to be with them, and they may not be able to be with the two senior brothers of Shangguan Long and Shangguan Domain......"
"It's okay, since Master Zhang's nephew has decided, the old man will naturally not object. The most important thing is that Master Zhang's nephew can pass through the frost mountain safely. ”
Cang Jiuyan only thought about it for a moment, so he didn't object, and nodded solemnly.
On that day, it was difficult to refuse everyone's request, so Zhang Yan could only helplessly start refining the Immortal Pill in front of the people present.
It's just that Zhang Yan didn't summon the Ba Huo again, and the flame used to refine the pill this time was Cang Jiuyan who took the initiative to help and used the latter's Dan Fire.
For an old monster like Cang Jiuyan who had been cultivating for hundreds of years, Zhang Yan was not worried about the other party's fire control problems at all.
Moreover, this Transformation Pill, compared to the level of the Huntian Pill that Zhang Yan had refined before, could be said to be much lower, and the difficulty of refining it was not comparable.
Therefore, refining the Immortal Pill, Zhang Yan's technique was even more smooth, the blood magnolia, the rotten bone spirit flower, and the three-flavor elixir of the Evil Herb were successfully purified by him in a blink of an eye, and the crystal liquid liquid was like a brilliant divine jade, rolling in the Dan furnace.
This made Du Xinghai and the others, who had to watch from the sidelines, show shock in their eyes and marvel again and again.
Wu Yushan and Wei Nan and several other girls had ripples in their beautiful eyes.
However, now this three-flavor elixir, but only this one, Zhang Yan is very cautious, not as easy as it seems, in order to ensure the success of refining, he did not hesitate to put a drop of five-color essence.
Whether or not this Immortal Pill can be successfully refined is directly related to whether or not it can enter the Ice Netherland smoothly, not only to obtain the Ghost Stone, but also for the second senior brother.
Now that the second senior brother is so depressed, it is mainly on the knot in his heart, if he fails to restore the spirit of the slender shadow, it will be difficult for the second senior brother to return to his original appearance.
Half a day later, Cang Jiuyan removed the Dan Fire in his hand, and the lid of the Dan furnace was taken away by Zhang Yan.
A rich and cool aroma of medicine, after filling the entire room, everyone clearly saw that there were thirteen round pills with snow-white and crystal bodies lying quietly in the Dan furnace.
The refining of the Immortal Pill has been successful!
The most excited, but Lin Xiaotang, Mo Buwen and the others, looked at Zhang Yan's eyes, full of gratitude.
Donggong Qiyue on the side, her beautiful eyes flashed, and her admiration was difficult to hide.
Of the thirteen pills, Zhang Yan gave one to Mo Buwen and the others, and then gave one to Wu Yushan and Donggong Qiyue.
Of the thirteen pills, only five remained, but Zhang Yan hesitated and handed one of them to Wei Nan, which surprised the latter.
And if he couldn't get the pill here, only Mu Yuncheng was left, and he could only blush, not daring to attack.
In this way, Zhang Yan only had three Immortal Pills left in his hands.
Three days later, it was the official opening of Frost Mountain, and Du Xinghai and the others did not stay here and left one after another.
Before leaving, the old woman of the Wu family originally wanted to take Wu Yushan away, but the latter insisted on staying, and she could only give up.
As for Su Yingzhen, a middle-aged woman from the Donggong family, when she saw Donggong Qiyue's dependence on Zhang Yan, she could only leave with a cold face and left together.
However, when leaving, Wei Nanmei glanced at Zhang Yan in disbelief, and secretly said: "I hope you can come out of the Frost Mountain alive, although I heard that the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect are all amazingly powerful, but your cultivation is too weak, if you fail to save your life to pass, this hand of alchemy is useless." ”
Watching the girl leave, Zhang Yan didn't pay attention to it at all, and said that what he was best at was not the face, but the talisman and formation, and this woman was too much of a nobody.
It's just that thinking that most of the children of such families have such a mentality, Zhang Yan also secretly understands it and doesn't pay attention to it anymore.
What made Lin Xiaotang extremely happy was that the slender shadow who had been in a coma for two days woke up, although the latter's face was pale and extremely weak, but he did not continue to sleep.
Zhang Yan saw the excited appearance of the second senior brother, and he was also happy in his heart.
Two days later, the frost mountain opened, the north of the ancient town of the ice and the earth, an amazing vision, lying in the air of the ancient town, looking from a distance, extremely magnificent.
Zhang Yan, Mo Buwen and others joined the thousands of people on the street who were heading to the north of the city and hurried away.
Originally, Zhang Yan persuaded the second senior brother and Xianying that they did not need to enter the Frost Mountain, after all, with the state of the two of them, it was extremely dangerous to enter it.
It's just that the second senior brother and Xianying both insisted on entering, and he could only helplessly not dissuade him.
Zhang Yan and everyone came to the north of the city, and two tall and simple altars appeared in sight.
Two altars, are five zhang high, there are stone steps on all sides, one is spread with a red and demonic streamer, one is snow-white, the aura is pervasive, the grandeur is amazing, but they are not triggered, it seems to be waiting for time to come, it is very mysterious, and the Buddha can see the scene of the ancient ancestors worshipping the gods.
At this moment, around the red altar, almost all the young monks gathered, dressed in different costumes, all with excited faces and eager to try, there were tens of thousands of people.
The other white altar was full of monks who had cultivated around the Jindan period, and there were as many as 20,000 people, densely gathered together.
"The altar is ready to be opened, and the Frost Mountain is about to be revealed!"
On the side, Mo Buwen looked at the tall altar not far in front of him and spoke.
"Is this the entrance to Frost Mountain?"
Zhang Yan looked at the two altars above with red and white spiritual light, feeling the ancient meaning revealed above, and could faintly hear a strange mantra and incantation in it, like the sound of ancient Lun sound, which could not be triggered.
"Yes, the altar with a red body, called the Altar of Sacrifice, is the entrance to the Frost Mountain. As for the altar with a blazing white aura, it is called the Altar of Hope, which is the entrance to the top of the Frost Mountain. I heard that this was built by the powerful monk who placed the Frost Mountain here with the supreme formation method, and this kind of method seems to be only possible by the ancient monks. ”
Seeing Zhang Yan's doubts, Mo Buwen continued to explain.
Obviously, this Mo Buwen has an extremely thorough understanding of the Frost Mountain, otherwise it would be difficult to tell the truth of these two altars in one mouth.
"The altar?"
For some reason, when Zhang Yan silently read the name of this altar, a chill couldn't help but rise behind him, and an extremely dangerous feeling permeated him, making him secretly shudder.
