Chapter 419: Green Grass and Wood Sculpture
Wu Yan was currently standing on an inconspicuous rock in an unknown valley somewhere at the foot of the Tiantian Peak. Suddenly, a faint green light flashed in front of him.
Wu Yan raised his hand and grabbed it. The green light disappeared into his body and disappeared. At the same time, a light green light group also penetrated into the center of his eyebrows. Wu Yan then closed his eyes, seemingly checking something.
After a moment, Wu Yan opened his eyes and stared at Nijiabao City coldly. After a long time, Wu Yan took a deep breath, blew out a heavy breath, turned around and left the place without saying a word.
After the tea time, Wu Yan's figure appeared outside the array in the main hall of the lecture hall.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Yan patted his storage bag, took out a transmission note, put it to his lips, said a few words, and then went out in the direction of the main hall of the formation lecture hall.
After doing this, Wu Yan waited quietly outside the magic circle. But this time, I didn't wait long. About the time of the meal, a gap opened in the magic circle. A young man with an indifferent expression in the late stage of foundation building walked out of the cracked magic circle and looked at Wu After Yan glanced at it, he bowed his hands politely and said, "Did you send the transmission talisman just now?"
Wu Yan also raised his hand towards this person and said: "Yes, it was Wu who sent it. Wu has important matters and needs to see Master Xuanya."
The young man saw that Wu Yan was still polite to him, and his expression improved a little, but he still looked a little cold. This man seemed not used to smiling, and he twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a strange expression, and he was smiling, and said : "I'm afraid your trip will be in vain. My master has ordered that no outsiders will be seen during training and teaching. You are a casual cultivator, so my master asked me to come out and inform you. Please come back!"
After the indifferent young man finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to himself.
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward, stopped in front of the young man, raised his hands and said hurriedly: "Fellow Taoist, please stay! Wu really has something important to discuss with Master Xuanya, and he also asked fellow Taoist to pass the message on his behalf. two!"
The indifferent young man seemed very dissatisfied with Wu Yan's move, and said with a cold face: "I already told you, my master doesn't want to see you, are you going to force your way in?"
Wu Yan waved his hand with a wry smile and said: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. How could I confront Master Xuanya like this? I would also like to ask fellow Taoist to tell the master on his behalf, saying that if he is willing to see Wu, Wu has a tree that is three thousand years old." Please send me the green grass."
As Wu Yan spoke, he took out a mid-level spiritual stone and quietly gave it to the indifferent young man.
Unexpectedly, when the indifferent young man heard Wu Yan's words and saw Wu Yan's actions, his face became angry at first, and he did not accept the spirit stone handed over by Wu Yan at all. Then his body suddenly trembled, and there was disbelief in his eyes. Looking at Wu Yan lustfully, he asked in shock: "What did you say? You have Biyoucao? And it's three thousand years old?"
The expression of this indifferent young man looked extremely nervous, as if he was afraid that Wu Yan was lying to him.
Seeing this, Wu Yan made up his mind and said with a smile: "Yes, how dare Wu dare to talk about this kind of thing casually? Fellow Taoist, please go and tell Master Xuanya that Wu really has something important to ask. He negotiated."
With that said, Wu Yan quietly took two more mid-level spiritual stones and handed them to the indifferent young man.
Unexpectedly, the young man directly rejected the spirit stone handed over by Wu Yan and said sternly: "I don't want the spirit stone. If what you said is true, even our fellow apprentices will pool a large sum of money together." Lingshi, please wait a moment to buy this green grass from you, I will discuss it with them right now!”
After the indifferent young man finished speaking, he hurriedly walked back into the magic circle. After the magic circle closed, he disappeared.
Wu Yan smiled and put away the spirit stone, secretly thinking that these disciples of Taoist Xuanya were really weird, and they didn't even want the benefits given to them. It seemed that the rumors were true, and these people seemed to be quite upright.
Wu Yan did carry a 3,000-year-old green grass with him. This was also a gift he specially prepared to pay homage to Taoist Xuanya.
After thinking about it a few days ago, he felt that he was likely to be rejected this time. In order to be able to meet Taoist Xuanya, he really took great pains to find out the origin and reality of this person.
After learning that this man's life span was less than a few years, Wu Yan's thoughts became vivid.
Last time at Tianjianguan, Zhu Junyu ransacked the Tianji arsenal in Tianjianguan and gave him a large amount of poisonous and spiritual materials. Wu Yan later came to the Sumeru Sea. For a while, while practicing on the unknown island, he took out these poisonous spiritual materials and sorted them out, but found many strange and rare things among them. Spiritual material seeds.
This Biyoucao is an elixir cultivated from one of the Biyoucao seeds. It is said that this grass grows in the land of Xuanming Yinling and takes thousands of years to mature. A mature Biyou grass, if combined with several specific spiritual grasses, can be refined into one to several Biyou pills.
This elixir has no other effects, but one pill can make a person live ten years longer out of thin air. After Wu Yan got these Biyoucao seeds, he thought about his parents, relatives and friends who had died, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of regret in his heart. If some of this kind of Biyou grass could have been cultivated and refined into Biyou Dan, it would have been possible for the parents to live for decades longer.
Later, after he opened a medicine garden in the No. 9 training cave on Liehai Island, he planted several plants of this green grass for ripening and cultivation. In total, we got two 3,000-year-old plants and one 5,000-year-old plant.
However, because he was busy with the sea hunting war, he had not had time to gather the materials for refining the Biyou Pill, so the matter was put on hold. He sealed all three Biyou grasses in the Qingniu bag. Although the spiritual energy in the Qingniu bag was not as good as that in the outside world, it was the most suitable place to seal these spiritual materials, without worrying about the loss of their spiritual energy.
With this grass, Wu Yan believed that Taoist Xuan Ya should have a great chance to meet him. After all, if the three thousand year old Biyou grass was properly refined, several Biyou pills that could increase life by thirty years could be obtained out of thin air. Such a huge temptation, not to mention for Taoist Xuan Ya, who was already approaching the end of his life, I am afraid it would have great appeal to those Yuanying old monsters.
Sure enough, after a while, the magic circle opened again, but this time it was not only the indifferent young man who just came out, but seven or eight people came out at once.
These seven or eight people had different appearances, but they had one thing in common, that was their expressions, which were actually the same as the indifferent young man just now, with a stiff and indifferent expression on their faces. Even though they looked at Wu Yan eagerly, they still looked extremely cold and hard, which made Wu Yan feel extremely strange.
"Do you really have the three thousand year old green grass? You didn't deliberately deceive Xiao Ba in order to see my master, did you?" The leading Taoist priest with a wooden crown, who looked the oldest, had the coldest face. Even the three long beards under his chin were hanging down very coldly. As he spoke, they moved like three whips.
"I am Wu Yan, the commander of the No. 9 team. I have something to ask Master Xuan Ya. How dare I say it? If I don't have it, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?" Wu Yan explained to these people with a wry smile again.
"Okay, follow me!" The Taoist priest with a wooden crown in the lead looked at Wu Yan and hesitated for a moment, then politely led the way, let Wu Yan into the magic circle, and led him all the way to the lecture hall of the formation.
The others followed nervously, staring at Wu Yan with curiosity.
Everyone soon arrived at the balcony leading to the second floor of the lecture hall. The Taoist priest with a wooden crown signaled everyone to stop. He went to the second floor first after a flash of spiritual light and reported.
Wu Yan was a little curious about this, thinking that the Taoist priest Xuan Ya was really arrogant.
After a while, the magic array door on the second floor opened, and the Taoist priest with a wooden crown poked his head out and signaled to Wu Yan, who then walked up.
When he entered the second floor of the hall, Wu Yan was stunned.
How could this second floor look like the hall? This place was clearly an island with a radius of dozens of miles and rich spiritual energy.
A small stone path, winding and winding, led directly to the top of a small hill in the center of the island.
On the top of the hill, there were eight or nine simple thatched pavilions. Wu Yan saw at a glance that there was a white-bearded old man with a sallow face sitting in a thatched pavilion in the center. He was holding a carving knife in his hand and carving a piece of yellow wood in his other hand, but he didn't know what he was carving.
"Please come in, sir. My master is waiting for you there." The indifferent young man who came out to see Wu Yan earlier urged Wu Yan in a somewhat hurried manner.
Wu Yan shook his head and smiled, then followed the crowd to the top of the mountain.
Wu Yan knew in his heart that everything here must be an illusion of the magic circle, but this illusion was as real as the real thing. Wu Yan couldn't see any flaws, and even secretly used his spiritual sense and spiritual eyes, but he didn't find any flaws.
Everyone quickly walked to the top of the island. When they walked to the outside of the thatched pavilion where the old man was carving wood, the old man was still concentrating on carving the wood in his hand, as if he had no feeling about Wu Yan's arrival.
This old man was the Taoist Xuan Ya, whom Wu Yan had also seen. On the day when the sea hunting training just started, this old man showed up and explained some matters related to the importance of setting up formations on the islands for the sea hunting war. Most people didn't listen much, but Wu Yan listened very carefully and was still deeply impressed by this old man.
His eight disciples looked at the black crow Taoist eagerly. Wu Yan stood outside the pavilion with no impatience and expression, watching the old man carving the wood in his hand.
At first, Wu Yan thought that this old man did this deliberately to show off, or deliberately wanted to leave him alone, and there was some contempt in his eyes.
However, as the carving movements in the hands of this old man became slower and slower, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn, Wu Yan finally gradually saw a hint of charm in it.
Wu Yan's face showed a moving expression, and he stared at the old man's hands, the carving knife and the wood carving on his hands with an extremely solemn expression!
On this wood carving, Wu Yan actually saw a hint of the true meaning of "Tao"!
This old man actually realized a certain Tao through carving this wood carving!
