"What... happened?"
Sha LiFei was confused at first, then his face turned ugly, and he cursed, "You are a coward, couldn't it be that old man who pointed out the wrong way just now?"
The handlebar type Old MengTou shook his head and said, "Probably not. I traveled all over the country and Divine Land named the villages in various places. It was not random."
"This place was supposed to be backed by mountains and water. It was a good place to live. Maybe something happened..."
As he said that, he looked around and came to a pile of weeds by the roadside. After a few pulls, he pulled out a rotten wooden sign.
By the moonlight, you can see the three characters Wu Family Gully on it.
"You stay here, I'll go take a look!"
Li Yan waved his hand to signal the team to stop. He shook the reins and rode his horse slowly into the village.
In a deserted village late at night, we naturally have to be on guard.
Li Yan holds the handle of the knife with his left hand, ready to start Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin at any time, while he holds Yang Seal with his right hand and takes a deep breath.
In an instant, the smell of rotten wood, grass, and various small animals... all poured into the nasal cavity, and the vigilance in Li Yan's eyes dissipated a little.
Although I don't know what happened here, at least Yin Soul didn't cause any trouble.
Li Yan rode his horse in a circle and quickly arrived at the entrance of the village. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. The people in the village have moved away. Let's go in and rest here tonight."
Everyone immediately drove the carriage into the village.
Sure enough, every farmhouse along the way was completely empty. Not to mention the pots and pans, even the door frames had been removed.
Moreover, the connection between the door frame and the masonry is covered with mottled moss, indicating that the village was moved out quite a while ago.
In the center of the village, there is a large building.
Like other places, there is nothing inside, even the plaque on the door has been removed.
Wang Dao Xuan lit a torch and burned dry mugwort. He walked around a few times and touched the altar. He came out and shook his head and said, "This should have been a village ancestral hall. The ancestors' tablets were moved out in a formal way. It was not done in a hurry."
"The people of Divine Land have relocated. It seems that something big happened, forcing them to move."
Sha LiFei scratched his head when he heard this and said, "This is troublesome. We don't even know where Senior Wu's home is, let alone the graves of his wife and daughter. This has made..."
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's stay and rest for one night. The village is being relocated. Someone must know about such a big thing. I'll go find out tomorrow and find an old man in the village to ask."
Now that things have come to this, everyone has to settle down first.
They chopped firewood to make a fire, set up a stove to cook, and fed the mules and horses. Unconsciously, it was already late at night.
The previous encounters in Niubeiliang made the polemen exhausted physically and mentally. Although it is a deserted village now, it is also a safe place.
My mind was relaxed and everyone was snoring loudly.
Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan are still gods at different times, protecting each other and keeping vigil. The battle between Niubeiliang made them understand that the road is dangerous and they are still far behind.
Zi Hour In the middle of the night, Wang Dao Xuan entered meditation and ended.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a blazing bonfire, the night wind outside the ancestral hall was moist, and unexpectedly it started to drizzle again.
Li Yan was not by the bonfire, but standing at the door of the ancestral hall with him on his back, looking motionless outside.
Ordinary people would be shocked by this situation.
But Wang Dao Xuan had a vague guess, came to Li Yan, and asked in a low voice, "See it again?"
Li Yan nodded, with a solemn expression, "The direction has changed."
In the rainy night outside the ancestral hall, Cold Altar Wandering Master reappeared.
His body was in tatters and his clothes were stained with blood, but the direction he was pointing had shifted.
Wang Dao Xuan looked at the area pointed by Li Yan, "The direction has changed. It seems that we are not far away. Where is the Dharma lineage that Senior Wu mentioned?"
Li Yan replied, "Tianzhushan Mountain."
"Oh..."
Wang Dao Xuan pondered for a moment, then turned around and took out an ancient book of geography to search, "No wonder, I have vaguely heard of this place. Although it is not listed in Blessed Grotto-Heavens, it is also a hermitage for Daoist monks."
"It is rumored that Patriarch Cave, Jiao Zan Cave, and Meng Liang Cave are all in this mountain. Senior Wu's Dharma lineage Ancestral Altar should also be there."
Seeing that Li Yan was still frowning, Wang Dao Xuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, there will be a road to the mountain. We will leave after Senior Wu is buried."
"Whatever is there will be clear to you."
Li Yan clicked, but felt inexplicably uneasy.
Looking at the traveler whose clothes were stained with blood and whose body was penetrated by chains, he had a vague premonition.
I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly...
"Please stay calm."
Sha LiFei put on Straw Cape, put on his bamboo hat, and laughed and said, "Master Tao and I will go back and bring you some good wine and food along the way."
The handlebar type Old MengTou said happily, "You're welcome, old man. This place is close to Ezhou, and there is a flood and drought dock. There is a lot of good wine."
"It is the custom in Ezhou to make Yellow Wine on September 9th, which is less than a month away from Double Ninth. It is estimated that the Yellow Wine at this time last year had just been opened and the flavor was great..."
"Old MengTou, I admire you!"
What else could Sha LiFei say, he gave a thumbs up, turned around and left the ancestral hall with Wang Dao Xuan, riding horses and disappearing into the autumn rain.
This is the plan made this morning.
Sha LiFei has rich experience in the arena, and Wang Dao Xuan is familiar with the customs of various places. If you want to find out information, the two of them can take care of each other together.
And Li Yan has the strongest combat power. If he stays in the deserted village, he can protect everyone if something happens.
After the two left, everyone became idle.
The coffins were particularly relaxed. The place had already been arrived. All they had to do was wait for Wang Dao Xuan to choose the Feng Shui cave. They would carry the coffin up the mountain and bury it properly, and then the work would be over.
Because Niubeiliang is in danger, Li Yan has agreed to give them an additional 50% of their wages.
And there is still plenty of time. If I can find some work on the road to earn some money, I can have a good and prosperous year this year.
After the mood relaxed, a few people were either bragging or listening to the handlebar type Old MengTou's gossip, also considered Xiaoyao.
Li Yan, on the other hand, came alone to an abandoned house far away from the ancestral hall, set up the drum stand, and lifted up the waterproof tarpaulin on Cloud Thunder Divine Drum.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon, the drums vibrated and the roof rustled with dust.
Because Li Yan is practicing Divine Drum Cloud Thunder Sound, when tapping, not only Hidden Strength is used, but also the mantra of "Hum" is recited at the same time, so the drum sound is extremely loud and can be heard clearly in the whole village.
The polemen and handlebars were so used to it along the way that they didn't care at all, and they even listened to it with great interest.
The sacred drum has the power to shake the soul. When ordinary people listen to it, they will feel noisy at first, but when the drumming ends, their desires and distracting thoughts are eliminated, and they will sleep more soundly at night.
But what surprised them was that the drum beat was obviously much faster today, and even had a hint of charm.
Slow three tunes, tight three tunes, neither fast nor slow three tunes.
"This is Qin Han Drum Rhythms!"
The handlebar type Old MengTou pondered the taste, took a puff of the dry pipe, and explained to everyone, "This Qin Han War Drums is very famous in our Xianyang. There are many Drum Troupe, but the rhyme is the same."
"The first song is about going out on an expedition, the slow three fires are mighty and majestic, the next song is about fighting, the tight three fires are overwhelming, and the last song is about triumph, neither hurry nor slow, galloping and joyful..."
"You have to be Old Uncle Meng, who is knowledgeable."
"What is this? Have you ever seen the Chang'an Drum Festival? In that scene, the flags were like a sea and the drums were like thunder..."
Not to mention everyone chatting and bragging, Li Yan has already entered the state.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of the drum is rapid and slow, and when matched with the mantra, it vibrates like thunder.
This force coursed up and down his body, like a lightning strike. His whole body was numb, his pores were open, and he was sweating profusely.
Li Yan gritted his teeth and persisted, without any deformation in his movements.
Despite the wind and rain along the way, he could never practice with peace of mind.
After experiencing several lives and deaths, he realized that although he was young and already a genius in the eyes of everyone, fighting in the world did not matter how old or young you were.
His fist needs to be harder,
The knife is even faster!
Now that I have time, I naturally have to find a way to break through.
Don't be in a rush to learn Pigua Fist. Moreover, if you don't have the guidance of a famous teacher, you may go wrong if you just read the boxing charts.
But Hidden Strength needs to practice every day.
While playing the drum just now, Li Yan had a sudden idea that <Qin Han Drum Rhythms> could be used in conjunction with Shen Shen's urging to frighten and exorcise evil spirits.
If used for Hidden Strength, will the effect be better?
Just do whatever comes to mind, this is his confidence.
Great Luo Dharma Body replaced his injuries, making him bolder than ordinary people, breaking through the limits again and again, and his outstanding kung fu was developed because of this.
Sure enough, the effect is better when the drum rhyme is combined with Cloud Thunder Sound.
He could feel the fascia all over his body bulging, and his whole body seemed to be transformed into a divine drum, vibrating to the rhythm of the drum.
Not only that, Qin Han Drum Rhythms is the drum of the military formation.
The majestic and passionate rhythm of the drums put him in a wonderful state, as if he had dreamed of returning to the Qin and Han Dynasties, a battlefield expedition, and the dragon's blood was dark and yellow.
Boom!
After an unknown amount of time, the drumming suddenly stopped.
Li Yan His whole body was trembling, his muscles were beating rhythmically, and he was sweating like rain. Not only were his clothes soaked through, but there were also two wet footprints on the ground.
Poof!
There was a pain in his chest and blood spurted from his mouth.
Taking a breath, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and abdomen.
Li Yan It is clear that he has suffered internal injuries, his muscles, bones and fascia have reached their limit, and his internal organs are so delicate that they cannot bear this Martial Power torture.
Great Luo Dharma Body turned around and the internal injuries recovered quickly.
Feeling the swollen, sore, numb, yet thick and powerful Martial Power all over the body, a hint of joy appeared in Li Yan's eyes.
He made the right bet!
This method has amazing results.
It is worth several days of hard training.
Li Yan was happy, but at the same time hesitant.
This method is naturally good, but it comes at the expense of Great Luo Dharma Body, just like exchanging the durability of a treasure for cultivation.
Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, you can't find it just by looking for it...
However, this hesitation only lasted for a moment.
Li Yan made a decision quickly.
Use this method to quickly enhance your skills!
Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, after all, it is something external to the body.
When you encounter danger, you don't have enough fighting power, but you have to pay for it with your life.
Of course, today's practice has reached its limit.
The body of a warrior is like a bowstring. Even if there is Great Luo Dharma Body, it still needs to be relaxed and relaxed.
After putting Cloud Thunder Divine Drum away, Li Yan took out Divine Tiger Token, held it in his hand, pinched Mystical Gestures, stepped on the steps, and said, " Nogao, the only great-grandson Wang Jia, Six Jia Azure Dragon, Six Yi Meeting Star, Six Bing Bright Hall, Liuding Yinzhong..."
Phew~
All of a sudden, the wind started to blow out of nowhere.
Li Yan was filled with aura, which quickly converged into Divine Tiger Token.
Divine Tiger Token can also be used to cast Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique, and the effect is even more amazing!
The sky was overcast and the old house was dimly lit.
Li Yan Standing in the house, not only is there no breath, but there is even a gloomy air. If someone looks out of the window, they will have an illusion and find that his whole person has become blurry...
This state is almost the same as when Luo MingZi used "Upper Xuan Bamboo Envoy Talisman"!
Of course, the consumption of spiritual thoughts is also staggering.
Li Yan only persisted for a while, and then he felt mentally exhausted, and the white light between his brows began to dim.
Whoosh!
Li Yan had no choice but to cancel the spell.
It seems that we should Building the Tower as soon as possible.
Although Divine Tiger Token is strong, this kind of consumption cannot be tolerated. On weekdays, yarrow should be used as the main food, which will not affect the combat effectiveness.
Then, he held Divine Tiger Token again and began to practice "Thousand Gold Body Protection Incantation". He also kneaded the steps and stepped on the gang, but the steps were different and the mantras in his mouth were also different.
"Nogao, with three stars on the left and three prisons on the right, the world is turned upside down, and all nine roads are blocked..."
The spell ended and there was no movement.
Li Yan is not discouraged. The practice of magic is not that simple.
In the old house, he performed it again and again, silently experiencing the changes between the formula and the steps...
At the same time, Sha LiFei and Wang Dao Xuan also arrived at Fengyang County.
"Old man, do you know Wu Family Gully?"
"I don't know, I don't know!"
"Brother, I have a question, Wu Family Gully..."
"Why are you asking? Don't cause trouble for me!"
Sha LiFei I originally thought it was not a big deal and I could just ask anyone to find out. I never thought that everyone would keep it secret.
Wang Dao Xuan frowned slightly, "It seems that Wu Family Gully's relocation is not that simple..."
"I don't believe it!"
Sha LiFei was a little annoyed, "They don't dare to say it, but there are always those who dare to say it. Master Dao, come with me."
After that, he took Wang Dao Xuan around the city.
Shang Prefecture area also belongs to Shaanxi Province, with Shangluo City as the center.
Fengyang County Because of the Munchuan Pass pier, which was the border between Qin and Chu in the past, commerce and trade has developed to this day, so its prosperity is second only to Shangluo City.
The autumn rain continued, and mules and carriages kept coming and going on the streets.
"Here we go, this is it!"
Sha LiFei took Wang Dao Xuan around and finally found a tea shop. The door pillars and stone piers were engraved with auspicious clouds and lotus flowers.
Wang Dao Xuan As soon as I saw it, I knew it was a Jianghu store.
The so-called Jianghu shop is different from ordinary teahouses.
To put it bluntly, it is a place where all kinds of rumors and news are transmitted.
This kind of shop never worries about business. If ordinary people come here, they will probably be confused and unable to understand what others are doing, and they will get ripped off.
"Sir, please come inside!"
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a waiter.
Sha LiFei directly pinched his hands, made a gesture, and said with a smile, "When the Xiangjia (experts) first come to the precious land, they don't lick the mountain (drink), don't gnaw their teeth and drink (drink tea), find someone who is bright (understand the affairs of the world), and listen to the wind (find out the news)."
The waiter immediately understood, swung the white towel, put it on his shoulders, and said loudly, "Fengzi second floor, you two, Longmen tea!"
After that, he led the two of them upstairs.
In the hall, some remote and dark tables were occupied by people, either drinking tea alone or chatting in low voices, looking at the two of them quietly and guessing their identities.
Wang Dao Xuan pretended not to see it and followed Sha LiFei and the waiter upstairs. He immediately saw clearly that on the second floor of the teahouse, there were four wooden plaques on the southeast, northwest, and each with the four characters "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" written on them.
He is also a member of the martial arts world. Although he has never been to a place like this, he vaguely knows some of the rules...
