Immortal Formula

   Chapter 393 Quest in the Valley (Part 2)

As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, the day passed slowly like this. Gu Yan stood quietly on the top of the mountain. She saw every process of these people working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Except for those children, she seemed to In this valley, I can't feel the slightest bit of anger. During this day, she expanded her spiritual sense to a radius of nearly a thousand miles, but she still couldn't sense the existence of a cultivator. Why is there no anger for thousands of miles?

   Gu Yan suddenly thought of the dead energy that invaded her meridians for no reason last night. It seemed to be a thread in the vast fog, which made her realize a little, but she couldn't catch the trace. At this time, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, she still didn't know the real master method of Zhu Yanjing, otherwise, with this "Treasure Mirror of All Heavens" that could search hundreds of thousands of miles in the Guixu Sea, in the Meridian Valley within thousands of miles. , what else does she not know?

It seems that he was frightened by Mo Rigen's words. During this day, not only silent words, but also those children, no one disturbed Gu Yan's quietness. Yan spent the day very quietly. In the afternoon, the old man who was the patriarch came over in person. Only then did Gu Yan know that his name was Zhu Yan, a very strange name. Zhu Yan first greeted Gu Yan, and then said that he sent his clansmen outside the mountain, but he never saw any trace of Yan Huan.

  Gu Yan thanked him, but did not follow the meaning of his words and said when he would leave. Instead, she told Zhu Yan with a smile that she found this place to be a blessed land, decided to stay here for a while, and said to Zhu Yan, "I heard that the Gaoli people in ancient times were also very powerful people. Great clan, they have played an extremely important role in the ancient war between gods and demons, and in the last battle between Dao and demons, and you, as servants of the Gaoli people, don't you want to practice immortality? Is it?"

  Zhu Yan was obviously stunned by Gu Yan's words. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "We just want to live a quiet life here, and don't want to be disturbed by the world outside."

  Gu Yan just smiled, noncommittal, but Zhu Yan's heart was a little flustered, feeling that Gu Yan's eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart, he forced a few laughs, and then said goodbye and went down the mountain. As the sun slowly went down, the day came to an end like this. Those people stopped ploughing the fields early as usual, while the women and children were still walking around excitedly, as if It indicates that there will be a big event tomorrow, and when the night is getting dark, the lights are still not out.

But behind a small mound far away from the house under the hillside, in a cave dug along the hillside, a lonely lamp is like a bean, and two people are sitting facing each other, one is Zhu Yan, and the other is Mo Rigen .

   Zhu Yan's face was full of bitterness, and the wrinkles on his face were so deep that they almost covered his original appearance, "I went up the mountain today and said those words to her, but she didn't mean to leave."

  Mo Rigen patted the table with his hand. In this cave with only two people, he was not as humble as before, the muscles on his face were twisted, and he looked very public and terrifying. "No matter what, we can't keep her here. Tomorrow is coming again, and she will definitely ruin our affairs." He said with some doubts and some resentment: "How can she come into Meridian Valley? Are the restrictions at Taniguchi useless?"

Zhu Yan also calmed down at this time, "Old Mo, calm down, Taniguchi's ban will definitely not be useless, otherwise we won't see outsiders for so many years, only you and I know the secrets of the clan, But since she has entered Meridian Valley, we can't easily dismiss her, don't forget, she is an alchemy cultivator!"

Mo Rigen was pacing on the ground anxiously, "What about the cultivators of Pellet Formation? Was there still a few cultivators of Pills Formation in the Gaoli tribe, not all of them..." Although he was a little impatient, when he said this, he didn't know what to do. Still closed his mouth, as if he was unwilling to speak out of something to avoid.

Zhu Yan said: "That's why they found a new way to entrust this task to us, and after all these years of hard work, we are not far from success. This time we must not make extra efforts to live up to the master's expectations. But tomorrow is an auspicious time, We can't miss it, what can you do?"

   Mo Rigen's face showed a vicious look, "If you can't do it, then let's make the last resort, what the Gaoli master left us..."

   Zhu Yan was taken aback, "In this case, do you want the lives of these people in the clan?"

  Mo Rigen said coldly: "Their lives, including you and me, belong to the master!"

   Zhu Yan sat down dejectedly, "You ask me to think about it again. I have already lit the incense and told the following what happened here, but the master doesn't seem to have replied to us yet."

Mo Rigen sneered: "The master often retreats, and most of these things will be handled by his subordinates. Do you think those servants who are from the same background as us have any vision and means?" He clenched his fists and said, "We are suffering from It's a heavy task, the ancestors can't be buried in the holy place of the clan even if they die, so this time, we must do it well, and we can't let those servants look down on it. My ideal is to be able to go back in an open and honest way. !" His face was slightly bluish-white because of anger and excitement, "No one can stop us, and if something goes wrong with that woman, don't blame me for the murder!"

   Zhu Yan didn't speak any more, as if acquiescing, but also as a silent objection, he blew out the lights with a "pop", and the two went out the door, hiding in the darkness of the night.

On the top of the distant peak, sixteen purple flame crystals flickered slightly under the brilliance of the lunar star power, forming a very hidden formation. Gu Yan in the hut let out a long breath. Satisfied, the Zhu Yanjing was put away, and the bright brilliance on it became dim again. And what appeared above, the figures and conversations of Mo Rigen and Zhu Yan, still reverberated in her mind.

When she was in the ancient demon-fighting formation, she used the Zhuyan Mirror to check the surrounding situation, but at that time she could only see its shape but not hear its sound. Since that time in the ancient battlefield after Tongluoshan, she realized After arriving at the dance of the woman, she slowly realized some usages of Zhu Yanjing. Now she can use Zhu Yanjing to check the situation within a radius of fifty miles, and the sound and image inside are clearly visible. And Mo Rigen and Zhu Honglei's conspiracy was not unexpectedly heard by her.

   But the conversation between the two made her really a little puzzled. Listening to their meaning, they should be the servants of the Gaoli people. They were placed in the Meridian Valley, not to be abandoned, but to do a big thing for the Gaoli people. And this matter is of great significance to both the Gaoli people and them. And the masters they said were mostly unknown Gaoli people who were hiding in the dark.

   Gu Yan thought of the two mysterious people who fought with him again. They robbed the words and left, and left a puppet in the tree. She suddenly remembered that she should have left the puppet, and if she went back now, it would have been taken away long ago. But listening to Mo Zhigen's meaning, those two people should be just servants with equal status.

According to Gu Yan's observation at the time, those two people had at least the cultivation level of the early stage of forming a pill, but Mo Rigen and Zhu Yan seemed to be just two mortals. What do they have to rely on? Don't even take the pill cultivator in your eyes?

  Gu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, perhaps they were carrying some magic weapon to hide their cultivation? This is not surprising, when she was in the foundation-building stage, she could also use Jinyun Die to hide her cultivation from the people in Tianyin Pavilion. However... a smile appeared on her face, and the other party seemed to underestimate her, not to mention that she had better methods than ordinary monks of the same level, and she also had Zhu Yanjing, who made the other party invisible. magic weapon!

After Gu Yan formed a golden elixir, her mood seemed to have undergone some subtle changes compared to before. Although Gu Yan now does not cause trouble, she is not afraid of trouble. manifest. When she came to Cangwu, she had been suffocating for so long, this time in Meridian Valley, let her show her strength!

   Another night passed, and when they woke up early in the morning, those men still went to work in the fields, and Gu Yan was used to it, and Zhu Yan and Mo Rigen also showed humble smiles when they saw her. Moreover, Zhu Yan came over and said to her: "Xianshi, tonight is a happy night for the people of this clan. After today's work, there will be a very grand bonfire and singing and dancing. I wonder if Xianshi can take the time to participate?"

  Gu Yan just refused, but Zhu Yan didn't force it, Gu Yan could keenly see a hint of joy in his eyes. What made her a little strange was that she didn't see Xiao Moyan and the other children today. In front of the house under the hillside, there were only those women, but not a single child.

For a whole day, Gu Yan sat in the quiet room. She used the Zhu Yan mirror to look at the situation in the valley, but she did not see any trace of the children. Although Zhu Yan and Mo Rigen met twice, they did not agree. No meaningful words were said. As the sky gradually darkened, the sunset revealed a thick golden yellow, and the twilight gradually fell. Those people lit a bright bonfire on a huge open space. In the dark night, there was a shining light, like a strange spirit beating in the night.
