Ranran had read the description of this nine-headed monster python in the Brahma teachings.

This strange python has the ability to split a human body, and the fakes it creates can easily replace the real one. However, the fakes it creates also have a flaw that is not noticeable, because they are actually condensed yin energy, so during the short period of time when yin and yang alternate at midnight or noon, the fakes will not show a shadow.

So at noon, Ranran helped Wen Chunhui out into the sunlight. Wen Chunhui's clear shadow appeared on the ground, which immediately made people feel at ease.

After listening to Ran Ran's explanation, Wen Chunhui heaved a sigh of relief: "It would be great if there was a way to distinguish them. I'm really worried that those fakes pretending to be the leaders of the major sects will stir up trouble and cause chaos in the cultivation world."

Although she was not poisoned by the snake venom and had not split into two bodies, the disciples who went with her were replaced. Those fake ones would definitely cause trouble in the Kongshan Sect when they returned.

When Xue Ranran and Su Yishui discovered that the skull of the Human Demon King was stolen, they did not say much in order to escape from Chiyan Mountain.

But after returning, Xishan sent letters to all major sects, explaining that the skull of the human demon king was stolen, that the Brahma sect was going to revive and cause chaos, and that the monsters that emerged in various places were related to the revival of the Brahma sect.

At that time, the three major sects thought it was nonsense and that Xishan was just making alarmist remarks and causing panic.

But now thinking about it, Xishan's words came true one by one. Su Yishui and Xue Ranran were the few sober people in the cultivation world, but unfortunately no one believed them at that time.

Wen Chunhui was filled with remorse at this moment. Thinking of the seriousness of the incident, the pores on her back stood up.

The ability of the Brahma Cult to destroy sects is even more terrifying than the magic sects like the Red Gate, and it has replaced them completely silently. The most chilling thing is, what exactly are they trying to do with this?

At this time, for unknown reasons, the three major sects closed the mountains and shut down all doors, not allowing people to go up or down at will. In addition, countless carriages and horses were transporting cartloads of black stones up the mountain.

But it was still impossible to find out what was in the car.

At the same time, the lonely Wei Yan also came to Xishan.

The once majestic Demon Lord never thought that he would fall to the point of coming to the West Mountain to seek help from the man surnamed Su. So when he arrived at the foot of the West Mountain, he did not go up the mountain directly, but wandered back and forth at the foot of the mountain for a few circles.

In the end, he actually took advantage of Yu Tong's wedding and mixed in the crowd of people who were sending off the bride.

On the day when Yu Tong got married, there were many relatives from the man's village, and everyone was happy. Wei Yan hid his aura and even changed into women's clothes. He looked androgynous, and except for being taller, he really looked like a pretty girl.

Then he took advantage of no one's attention and slowly approached Ran Ran, who was counting her dowry in the corridor of the new house, and pressed the dagger in his hand against Ran Ran's waist.

"Little girl, don't move. Although you have become very capable, my dagger is so close to you that it won't take much effort to kill you." He deliberately whispered in Ranran's ear.

Although Ran Ran was threatened and in a critical situation, when she saw Wei Yan dressed as a woman, she couldn't help but burst out laughing so hard that her shoulders shook.

Because only females were allowed into the new house, Wei Yan just knocked out a dowry maid and changed his clothes to sneak in.

He just let his hair down and casually braided it, and he didn't wear makeup like those village women. Was it necessary for her to laugh so exaggeratedly?

But before Wei Yan could say anything to reprimand him, his wrist was grabbed fiercely by an iron palm, and he was lifted up and pressed to the ground.

It turned out that Su Yishui appeared behind him at some point, knocked him to the ground, and then stepped on Wei Yan with one foot.

For some reason, Wei Yan seemed to be unable to use his true energy and could only struggle desperately and curse.

Even if Su Yishui hadn't recovered his memory, he was disgusted with Wei Yan, especially since he had been so close to Ran Ran just now, and he didn't know if his mouth had stinken Ran Ran's ears.

Thinking of this, Su Yi simply didn't hesitate, bent down and started punching Wei Yan hard, teaching him a lesson.

Just at this moment, a couple came in surrounded by relatives and friends.

The villagers, who were originally laughing and joking, saw the famous local doctor Su Xianchang riding on a "woman" with disheveled hair, and suddenly their eyes widened and they were speechless.

Ran Ran quickly blocked the two men stacked up behind her and said with a laugh, "It's a bridal chamber noise, it's a bridal chamber noise!"

After saying that, she turned around and winked at Su Yishui.

Today is Yu Tong's big day, so there is no room for error. Even if we want to teach Wei Yan a lesson, we have to go to another place.

So everyone only saw Su Xianchang carrying the long-haired woman, and in the blink of an eye, he jumped over the wall and disappeared.

Ran Ran laughed awkwardly to liven up the atmosphere: "Come on, come on, the groom also has to carry the bride into the bridal chamber!"

Then, amid the jeers of the Xishan disciples, they finally managed to surround the place.

As for Wei Yan, who was carried away by Su Yishui, he seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief. When he was thrown into the meadow, he immediately started cursing and struggled with Su Yishui.

Ran Ran grabbed the pumpkin seeds in his pocket and ate them while watching the fight. Su Yishui clearly had the upper hand, punching Wei Yan hard and leaving him helpless.

Wei Yan's inner energy had been weakening due to the poison of the giant python, but as he was fighting, he suddenly discovered that Su Yishui, the turtle son, was using the same old trick again and was trying to absorb his little inner energy.

He was so angry that he yelled, "Su Yishui, are you still a human being? My Dantian is so empty that I can raise fish, and you still want to suck my true energy! Why don't you just block the road and rob people from the major sects openly! If you kill me, no one will tell you about the latest situation of the three major sects!"

This last sentence finally had some effect, and Su Yishui finally stopped fighting.

If Wei Yan had a way out, he would not have come to Xishan to humiliate himself.

He originally planned to go to the capital to seek help from the Soviet Union.

After all, the two had always cooperated very well, and Wei Yan was almost able to become the imperial teacher of Daqi.

But Su Yu's grandson would come forward when he was needed, but would turn his back on others when he was not.

Especially after hearing that Wei Yan was contaminated with the blue blood of the nine-headed snake python that could split people apart, he was not even allowed to enter the palace. At noon, an old eunuch who had previously delivered messages for the emperor was sent to talk to Wei Yan from a distance of several feet to comfort him.

The general meaning is that the emperor was shocked to hear that Chimen had suffered such a disaster, and his heart was burning with anger, and he was very worried about Wei Zunshang. Your Majesty believes that with Wei Zunshang's ability, he will definitely turn the disaster into a blessing. If you need silver, please ask for it. Even if the treasury is empty due to the war, Your Majesty will try his best to get some silver for you.

The words were bright, but the Soviet Union had no other support except banknotes, and it seemed that they wanted to sit back and watch the Brahma Sect crush the three major sects together with Chimen into powder.

Ran Ran knew the character of this emperor. The second half of the Brahma Teachings had always been in Su Yu's hands, and he must have memorized it by heart. That's why he asked Wei Yan to stand in front of the palace gate at noon to look at the shadows to identify the real and the fake. Considering that he had been able to raise a dragon in the palace for so many years, his mind must be much more complicated than Wei Yan's.

In short, the emperor is now very cautious and unwilling to wade into this muddy water, let alone openly become an enemy of the Brahma Sect.

Because the foundation of the palace was repaired, the shield of the barrier power was also restored. Wei Yan could not enter the palace to strangle the ungrateful Su Yu, and he was so angry that he stood in front of the palace gate and jumped and cursed.

Afterwards, Wei Yan tried to go back to the Chiyan Sect to look for Tu Jiuyi. But the Chiyan Sect, like the other three sects, began to close its doors. He could not see any disciples coming down the mountain.

The stones that were pushed up the mountain were soon built into a tower, standing tall on the Red Flame Mountain. What shocked Wei Yan the most was the loss of his own true energy.

The fake one failed to kill him on the spot and completely replaced him, so he used another delaying method. Every time he fell asleep, he would enter his dreams and steal his spiritual power.

Although Wei Yan's cultivation is very high, he is still a mortal after all. Even if he can go without food and water for days and nights, he still occasionally falls asleep while meditating.

But now, every time he falls asleep, he sees a person who looks exactly like him pinching his neck and constantly absorbing his energy.

After each short nap, not only did I not feel relieved, but I felt a sense of loss of energy.

Wei Yan didn't dare to sleep all the way, his eyes were as red as ripe cherries, almost bleeding. He had no choice but to come to Xishan to ask Su Yishui and Xue Ranran for help.

In order to get the two old enemies to help, Wei Yan also took out some chips, saying that he had a way to lead them into the Red Flame Mountain again to investigate the truth of the Spirit Pagoda.

After he calmed Su Yishui down with his words and reached a consensus on a temporary truce and cooperation, he finally collapsed in the grass nest, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then closed his eyes and said, "I just can't understand why only your Xishan was spared and did not suffer this disaster when all the major sects were in trouble?"

After hearing this, Ran Ran slowly put down the melon seeds in her hand. Wei Yan's question was actually quite interesting, but Ran Ran herself couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that to the Brahma sect, Xishan was just an insignificant pawn, so it was bypassed?

Wei Yan pulled out a black stone from his arms and said, "This is the stone they carried up the mountain. I stole one with great difficulty. Can you guys find anything strange about it?"

Su Yishui weighed the stone. It felt weightless in his hand, but when he held it up to the sunlight, the black stone seemed to have a little luster.

However, after hearing Wei Yan say that the stones that were transported up the mountain seemed to be built into a tower, and a towering tower appeared on the Chiyan Mountain overnight, I suddenly remembered a similar record in the "Brahma Teachings". It is said that Nuwa used five-colored stones when repairing the sky. Among them, the black stone was as light as a feather, and it could transmit the yin and yang energy. It could be used to build a high tower that could connect to the sky above and the underworld below.

Could the tall tower they are building on the Scarlet Flame Mountain be the spiritual tower described in the religious records that can channel the yin and yang energies?

What are they building these stupas for?

At this time, the shopkeeper of Wang Suizhi's shop near the three major sects sent a reply letter by pigeon, saying that they sent people to check. While the three major sects were closing the mountains, many vehicles transporting stones also arrived. Then, tall pagodas were built on the top of the mountains of each major sect. Even if you don't enter the mountain, you can see it from a distance.

Every sect that wants to achieve enlightenment does not choose a temple on a whim when they first practice Taoism. Instead, they choose a temple that will benefit them based on their own five elements.

Therefore, no matter what the current rise and fall of the major sects is, their dojo are extremely spiritual.

Now those fakes have replaced the big bosses and started to build black pagodas in the big temples. No matter what these pagodas are used for, their effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.

But Wei Yan couldn't care less about this now. He just wanted to have a good sleep without any worries.

This method of stealing spiritual energy in a dream is nothing more than taking advantage of a person's fatigue and absorbing spiritual energy through a similar magnetic field. If there is a stronger spiritual magnetic field interfering with the person being stolen, it will not succeed.

Therefore, if Wei Yan wanted to sleep soundly, he could only find someone with spiritual power similar to or even superior to his own to protect him.

The only candidates like this are Xue Ranran and Su Yishui.

According to Wei Yan's intention, he hoped that Xue Ranran would protect him - with a delicate and sweet girl by his side, even if he died in his dreams, he would still be a dashing and charming ghost under the flowers.

Unfortunately, Su Yishui's cold look and the crackling of his knuckles put an end to his fantasy.

Although Wei Zun Shang was in a state of poverty, he was very particular about things. Although he was extremely eager to sleep, he was unwilling to condescend to sleep alone. And Su Yishui was worried about leaving this sinister fellow alone, so he wandered around the West Hills.

In the end, the sweetest sleep he had ever had since he started practicing Taoism was obtained on Su Yishui's bed. Smelling the faint sandalwood scent on the body of his old enemy who was sitting next to him, Wei Yan slept with his limbs relaxed, feeling very comfortable and refreshed.

But there's always something strange about two grown men who are so obsessed with life and death being alone together.

Ranran knew that the intentions of the Brahma Cult were unclear and they still needed Wei Yan's help, so she was also afraid that Wei Yan's bad words would make Su Yishui unhappy, and Su Yishui would not be able to control himself and kill him.

So she got up early the next morning and went to Su Yishui's room with a basin of hot water for washing.

Su Yishui was meditating beside the bed, his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes closed, and he was motionless. Wei Yan was sleeping on his back, like a large baby.

Ranran simply moved a chair and sat opposite his master, meditating to pass the time and waiting for the two to wake up.

The power that Wei Yan mentioned about invading dreams seemed to have quietly hidden itself away this time. I spent the whole night in peace without any strange power bothering me.

When the sun was high in the sky, Wei Yan finally woke up refreshed. He opened his eyes, passed by Su Yishui beside him, and looked directly at Xue Ranran who was sitting opposite him meditating with his eyes closed.

Looking at her like this, I couldn't help but be fascinated. Her eyes and eyebrows showed more and more of the charm of her previous life. That kind of carefree and confident aura was rarely seen in women's eyes and eyebrows. If she wore red clothes like in her previous life...

Before Wei Yan could finish his imagination with his eyes narrowed, a tall figure stood up and completely blocked his gaze.

Su Yishui lowered his head and asked with concern, "Did you sleep well?"

He was too close, and Wei Yan fell back in disgust, raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Brother Su, for protecting me all night."

Su Yishui then slowly stood up and said in a cold voice, "How dare you take away the sheets and quilts from under me? I like cleanliness and cannot stand the smell of dirty things."

Wei Yan felt that Su Yishui was looking for trouble. He had clearly taken a bath before going to bed and was very clean!

He had lived a life of luxury in Chiyan Mountain for many years and always kept his word, even in front of Emperor Su Yu.

But now he was under the eaves of Xishan, and he couldn't sleep without Su Yishui, so even if he was provoked like this, he could only grit his teeth and smile sinisterly, tear off the sheets and quilt viciously, and then strode out of the bedroom.

After he left, Ran Ran whispered, "You could actually let him sleep in the guest room... that bed and quilt are very good, why throw them away?"

Su Yishui glanced at her and said nothing.

Wei Yan, this turtle son, has very high requirements for sleeping. He must have a fragrant couch and a soft bed, and refuses to settle for a training room.

The guest room was only separated from the disciples' courtyard by a wall. He didn't want this shameless man to be too close to Ranran's bedroom, so he let Wei Yan sleep in his room.

Who would have thought that Ran Ran would come over so early in the morning and sit so close to me, causing the shameless man to look at me a few more times.

"Aren't there new quilts in the storeroom? I'll just ask someone to bring another one."

Ranran thought to herself that she had sewed the quilt cover herself, and the pattern of the green bamboo was also picked out by Su Yishui himself from the patterns she brought!

But he had forgotten all this now and naturally thought that it was just an ordinary quilt.

Ran Ran was too lazy to talk about these minor details, so she just said after a moment of silence: "I couldn't sleep last night, and I kept thinking about the Black Spiritual Tower. So I just found a map, but after taking a look at it, I found something strange."

As she spoke, she pulled out the map she had drawn overnight from her arms. After marking the locations of the three major sects and the Red Flame Mountain, she connected the four points and found that the West Mountain was surrounded by it.

"I asked Wen Chunhui, and she said that someone from the government came to the Kongshan Sect to ask for help, saying that a nine-headed giant python was found in Yaoshan. But when they arrived at the place, they found that all the major sects had sent people, all saying that it was the government who asked for help. But the local government didn't know who had sent the letter. And Wei Yan said that it was the emperor who wrote a letter asking him to subdue the nine-headed giant python. Afterwards, when he asked the eunuch at the palace gate, the old eunuch said that the emperor had never sent such a letter. To subdue a snake, different people asked the three major sects and the Red Sect..."

Su Yishui said in a deep voice: "That is to say, someone deliberately wanted these people to gather together in Yaoshan so that they could be caught by the nine-headed monster snake."

Thinking of this, the two people said in unison: "Why didn't the person hiding behind send a letter to Xishan?"

If we talk about Xishan's current popularity, it is in no way inferior to the three major sects and Chimen, and it even has a tendency to suppress them.

But the Brahma sect chose to bypass the Xishan sect. Why? Did they think that the feng shui of Xishan was bad and that they were not qualified to build a stupa there?

Or...the one they have to deal with is actually Xishan who is trapped in an encirclement?

Xue Ranran took another deep breath and whispered, "You probably don't remember the man who pretended to be Medicine Immortal in Tianmai Mountain. He later pretended to be a herder by the flower sea in the underworld, and the shopkeeper of the inn at the foot of Chiyan Mountain. But every time he appears, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards you and me... Instead, he always reminds us again and again, as if he is afraid that we will be in danger... Is he a member of the Brahma Sect, and what role does he play in this series of events?"

Su Yishui didn't say anything. He never felt that losing a piece of memory brought him any inconvenience before. But now Ran Ran's words made him frown, a little regretful that he didn't remember such an important thing.

Of course, this frustration reached its peak during the subsequent breakfast time.

After most of the new disciples from Xishan had left, there were not many people left in the cafeteria.

People like Wei Yan were not allowed to go to the cafeteria, but the Qiaolian couple, who were unaware of the situation, treated him as a guest of Xishan and cordially invited him to the cafeteria.

Although the others knew the truth, they did not know how to correct it and make the two elders lose face, so they let Wei Yan sit at the dinner table openly.

Because Yutong married and lived down the mountain, Ranran and her mother made breakfast together.

When Ran Ran and Su Yishui finally arrived at the dining hall, Wei Yan was eating the meat buns Ran Ran had made herself, praising her sweetly as she ate: "Aunt, your and Ran Ran's cooking skills are as good as the Jiuweizhai in the capital!"

Su Yishui narrowed his eyes, stood beside Wei Yan and said coldly: "You took my place."

Wei Yan lazily gave up the main seat, but turned around and sat on the seat of Qiu Xier who had just stood up to serve the rice.

This location is good, right next to Ran Ran. He smiled and said, "The dried sweet potatoes you gave me before were delicious, but I didn't expect that you would be even more delicious when making other things."

After hearing this, Su Yishui swung his cold knife straight over, but the one he was glaring at was Xue Ranran.

Shouldn't she be at odds with Wei Yan? When did she personally give Wei Yan snacks?

Xue Ranran felt that Wei Yan was looking for trouble. Was the dried sweet potato she gave him during the Tianmai Mountain trial dragon meat? Was it worth Wei Yan mentioning it from time to time?

If she had known that the young ghost Baqian was Wei Yan in disguise, she would have fed him a handful of bird shit!

But now Su Yishui has forgotten it, and a handful of yellow dried sweet potatoes has become evidence of adultery.

Qiao Lian and the carpenter also realized that something was wrong at this time. They looked at each other suspiciously, fearing that their daughter might have some kind of entanglement with this boy who looked a bit effeminate.

She had just arranged to get married to Immortal Su, so she couldn't cause any scandal.

At this moment, Qiu Xier came back from serving food and found that her seat was occupied by Wei Yan. She immediately said unhappily, "Hey, can you please have some manners as a guest and stop being so unruly? Early in the morning, I saw you throwing away the quilt that Ran Ran had sewed for my master. That was outrageous! It took Ran Ran a month to sew that quilt, and now you're taking my seat again... It's really annoying..."

Qiu Xier's voice became lower and lower afterwards, because the two big guys at the dinner table, Su Yishui and Wei Yan, one good and one evil, were glaring at her.

Wei Yan glared at Qiu Xier because she spoke rudely.

But Su Yishui glared at him with surprise and indescribable embarrassment.
