Chapter 148 The Enemy of the Year
The wind and snow are howling, and the mountains and rivers are vast.
"Some people don't want to face that war, and some people want to forget it. Even the history books only have a few words..."
"Five Hu Tumult, the chaotic times in the late Tang Dynasty, and the Wolf Kingdom's northern invasion were not only a disaster for ordinary people, but also for Daoism..."
"I don't know how many Dharma lines were cut off because of this, and the Dao eliminates demons. When our lineage in Shangshan was at its worst, there were only a few people left, hiding in the mountains to guard their incense..."
When they came to the Ancient Battlefield ruins, Luo Faqing suddenly started talking more. His eyes were a little complicated and he said, "This Ancient Battlefield has a fierce evil spirit. It became the famous Demon Cave during the troubled times in the late Tang Dynasty. There were many evil things, and all kinds of weird things often happened..."
"Guanzhong Xuan Gate was troubled by this. At that time, all the elites of our Shangshan lineage died here. It was not until a hundred years after the Song Dynasty that this place Fiendish Formation was gradually eliminated..."
Sha LiFei said in surprise, "Then why is the demon hiding here?"
"Not sure."
Luo Faqing shook his head, pointed forward and said, "I sent ghosts and gods to track him, and the child transformed into Walking Corpse is hiding in the cave in the mountain col ahead."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "There is indeed a smell left. Move quickly and don't let anyone escape!"
After that, he shook the reins and rode out.
Sha LiFei and Wang Dao Xuan follow closely behind.
Luo Faqing shook his head slightly and also rode after him.
In fact, he still didn't say anything. It was the Disaster Relief and Exorcism Ritual at that time that almost caused the Shangshan lineage to be cut off. It went through ups and downs, and for a time it was reduced to a small sect at the bottom of the stream, and was looked down upon.
Because of this, the style of the Shangshan line began to change.
If you pray for blessings from disasters, the world will not remember your merits. When you add insult to injury and make cold jokes, you will not mention it at all...
The conquest technique is fierce, Yazi must retaliate, people will be in awe of it, and the situation of the Shangshan line is getting better and better...
Luo Faqing once thought that this was the truth.
But after this incident, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong...
"Right inside!"
Rely on Divine Ability, Li Yan to quickly find the location.
It was a hidden cave halfway up the mountain, blocked by boulders and with a passage diagonally going downwards.
If someone passes by the mountain, they won't be able to see it at all.
There are also dense footprints on the snowy slopes.
Li Yan has smelled some kind of rotten corpse smell, which is exactly the same as the evil thing in the Du family.
Phew!
Perhaps after hearing the movement of several people, he shot two arrows from the darkness. The force was amazing, and when they hit the rock, they were able to penetrate deeply.
Li Yan Without saying anything, he took out Thunder Fire Pill from his waist.
This gadget is specially designed to deal with enemies hiding in the dark.
Whoosh!
Thunder Fire Pill was ignited and thrown into the hole. White light and thick smoke suddenly flashed inside. The person in ambush was blinded, and a few arrows flew out randomly.
"Quickly retreat!"
There was a roar from inside.
Li Yan jumped out without saying a word.
He knew that since the enemy was able to withdraw, it meant that there were passages to other places.
As soon as we entered the cave, there was a strong wind howling.
Although Li Yan cannot see it, Olfactory Mystical Power also allows him to know the terrain and the number of enemies well.
The attacker was small in stature and smelled of rotting corpses. He was the young grandson of the Du family who had died tragically.
Li Yan didn't hold back, took a side step, and at the same time urged Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin, Guanshan Knife drew out like a horse.
Poof!
With the blessing of Killing Intent, the kid's head was immediately cut off, and it shattered when it hit the stone with a plop, and a large amount of black water flowed out.
However, Li Yan did not move forward.
In the darkness, someone came with a sword.
The opponent's swordsmanship was extremely good. With a hiss, he shot out like a sharp arrow at an extremely fast speed and stabbed his throat.
He is a master!
And used Hidden Strength.
Li Yan's hair stood up all over his body. He bent over an iron bridge and barely managed to avoid it. At the same time, Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper Backwards came and tried to kick the opponent's wrist to pieces.
However, that person was obviously Peak of Hidden Strength, and his swordsmanship was extremely skillful. With a flick of his wrist, the long sword suddenly bent, and the tip of the sword drew a strange arc, hitting Li Yan's calf.
Poof!
No matter how fast Li Yan dodged, he was still hit by the sword. He endured the pain and rolled sideways while grabbing a handful of sand and throwing it out.
The opponent was probably just a simple warrior, but he also had the ability to listen to the wind and argue. He blocked his head with a wave of his sleeves, flicked his sword and stabbed diagonally, and attacked again like he was chasing a soul to take his life.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Sha LiFei threw two torches.
There was a flash of fire in the darkness, and the man's eyes were shaken. He immediately closed his eyes and retreated, while waving his sword to block.
But Luo Faqing took advantage of the flickering torch and jumped out of the hole, piercing the opponent's forehead with his long sword.
Li Yan could see clearly that the other person was actually a monk wearing monk's robes. Although he was not young, his facial features could still be seen as handsome as before.
When the torch falls to the ground, the entire cave can be seen clearly.
Sha LiFei took a look at the door with a knife, and his eyes suddenly widened, "You... how are you still alive?"
After that, he suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Yan XiaoGe, he is Lu Gongyuan, don't let him run away!"
Lu Gongyuan?!
Li Yan murderous intent paused in his eyes.
Naturally, he will not forget the name Lu Gongyuan.
The other party was running a Male Brothel, a male brothel, in Chang'an. Because it was involved in a trafficking incident, his father contacted him to investigate in order to help the employer find someone.
Unexpectedly, this person was actually Maitreya Sect Dark Hall, Zhou Pan did not inform the matter, and his father died as a result.
At that time, Anqing Hall was wiped out, but Lu Gongyuan had escaped.
Now that I have arrived at Chang'an, Sha LiFei usually makes friends with people on the road. In addition to looking for work and collecting information, I also try to find out about this person's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, he would appear here.
When Lu Gongyuan heard that his feet were being broken, he was obviously panicked and wanted to run away, but Luo Faqing's swordsmanship was not weaker than his. He stabbed his vital parts with several swords, but he kept pestering him and wouldn't let him leave.
"Watch the move!"
Li Yan suddenly burst into flames and threw out two flying knives from his hand.
Clang! Clang!
Lu Gongyuan hurriedly waved his sword to block.
But at this moment, Li Yan had already flanked it, and Luo Faqing attacked at the same time, attacking its vital points.
It is said that two fists are difficult to beat with four hands. Lu Gongyuan's kung fu is only slightly higher than the two of them. Moreover, he is older and flustered, so he is immediately at a disadvantage.
Poof!
By accident, Luo Faqing hit the wrist holding the sword. Just as he was about to retreat, Li Yan turned around and raised his sword.
"Ah--!"
Lu Gongyuan screamed, but his right foot had been cut off by Li Yan, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Before he could stand up, Luo Faqing held a sword to his throat.
"Go, leave him alone!"
The other party also had an accomplice, pushing a wooden cart together.
There was a corpse wrapped in white cloth, wrapped in red rope, and affixed with talismans. It was obviously the corpse of the Ancestor of the Du Family.
Luo Faqing murderous intent flashed in his eyes and he was about to pursue him.
However, Li Yan's expression suddenly changed and he grabbed him, "No, there's explosives!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar sounded.
The surrounding ground shook and rocks collapsed, cutting off the passage.
At the entrance of the cave, dust and smoke billowed out.
Also coming out at the same time were Li Yan.
Of course, Lu Gongyuan was also dragged out by them.
"Damn it, use dynamite!"
Sha LiFei is disgraced and very angry.
Li Yan grabbed Lu Gongyuan, used his fingers to forcefully remove his chin, and then used a knife to pick up his dentures, which contained poison.
The other party has poison in his mouth, how can he hide it from him?
After doing this, Li Yan asked coldly:
"Where's the exit?"
"Hey hey..."
Lu Gongyuan At this time, his mouth was full of blood, and he closed his eyes with a sneer.
"It's useless."
Luo Faqing next to him learned the cause and effect from Sha LiFei, shook his head slightly and said, "These Maitreya Sect disciples firmly believe that they can be reborn in bliss after death. It is difficult to ask anything."
"Bliss in the afterlife?"
Li Yan smiled coldly, raised his left hand and placed it in front of Lu Gongyuan's eyes, "Do you recognize what this is?"
"Gou... Gou ultimatum!"
Lu Gongyuan was obviously startled, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still said firmly, "So what Living Underworld Messenger, I am not a criminal."
Living Underworld Messenger...
Luo Faqing was also obviously a little surprised.
He could not have imagined that Li Yan had such an identity.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "You two, can you step aside for a moment?"
Sha LiFei turned around and left. Luo Faqing also knew that Li Yan was probably going to use some means and didn't want them to see it. Although he was curious, he couldn't stay.
After the two left, Li Yan pressed Lu Gongyuan's head.
Soul Hooking Chain penetrated into its body and quickly retracted it.
Phew~
As soon as he let go of his hand, Lu Gongyuan suddenly turned pale, breathing heavily, and his eyes were filled with fear.
In this short moment, he seemed to have swam up the Huangquan River, surrounded by endless coldness and death, far away from the earth.
Soul Hooking Chain locks the soul, the taste is definitely not pleasant.
But for Lu Gongyuan, what's even more terrifying is the feeling that someone's soul is being toyed with.
Li Yan said in a cold voice, "If you tell the truth, I will give you a good time and let you go to paradise. If you have any secrets, I will send you to the Nine Netherworld."
Lu Gongyuan's face was pale, his eyes were uncertain, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "The exit is Xiangji Temple underground Secret Cave, you can enter from the backyard woodshed."
"Who is in charge?"
"Hui Qing."
"Who is he?"
"He is a Japanese monk from the Ikkō-shū Sect. He fled across the sea twenty years ago and placed orders at Xiangji Temple. He is also a slave of Vice Sect Leader."
"Vice Sect Leader?"
Li Yan frowned.
Lu Gongyuan no longer dared to hide it at this time, "Vice Sect Leader Zhao Changsheng was the one who planned it. When my bank was leaked, he arranged it here to assist Hui Qing and wait for Rakshasa Bird to take shape."
"Vice Sect Leader has not been here these years, but occasionally sends letters to inquire."
"Ancient Zhou Alchemist Tomb was bombed and the tomb was leaked. We can only launch it in advance to see if we can successfully raise Rakshasa Bird..."
After listening to this, Li Yan finally figured out the context, and then asked in a deep voice, "Do you remember Guanzhong Sick Tiger Li Hu?"
"Li Hu?"
Lu Gongyuan was a little confused at first, then seemed to remember something, and said doubtfully, "You are..."
"I am his son."
Li Yan murderous intent's eyes flashed, "Back then, you tried to harm him?"
Lu Gongyuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "He was checking for human trafficking, but it's actually nothing. I don't care."
"But he also secretly inquired about Vice Sect Leader's news and past, and that's why he was killed. It was Branch Master Luan HongEr who did it, and it had nothing to do with me."
"Inquiring about Vice Sect Leader?"
Li Yan was suddenly confused.
His father is a man of martial arts. What is Maitreya Sect Vice Sect Leader doing?
