Chapter 198 Entering the forest late at night
Demon Fox!
Li Yan's face condensed, and he felt vigilant in his heart.
The smell of Yin Energy on the old fox's body could be clearly smelled by him even from a far distance, which was comparable to some ghost spirits in temples.
As long as a fox is spiritual and possesses Daoism, it can be called Demon Fox.
But Demon Fox also has advantages and disadvantages, generally speaking, it can be divided into three types:
Wild Fox, Ghost Fox and Celestial Fox.
All fox demons with Daoism can be called "Wild Fox". With a skull on their head and worshiping the moon at night, they are called Wild Fox Zen.
As their Daoism grows, they can not only cast spells to confuse people, but also recruit a large number of demonic creatures and ghosts as their subordinates just like humans summon soldiers and horses, which can be called "Ghost Fox".
At this point, it is basically the peak of fox Demon Cultivator training.
As for the legendary Celestial Fox, he must have a great chance, be very spiritual, and be even wiser than ordinary people.
In ancient times, it was sometimes regarded as auspicious.
Of course, if you follow the wrong path, you can also bring disaster to the world.
The one in front of me is obviously Ghost Fox.
Li Yan can smell that there are at least dozens of ghosts around the opponent.
Such a situation naturally alarmed Commandery Commandant Office. They were wary and bent their bows and arrows one after another.
"Don't move!"
Lu San suddenly shouted loudly, his eyes filled with nervousness, he stared straight ahead and whispered, "Leave it to me to handle it."
After saying that, he slowed down and walked towards Ghost Fox.
Halfway through, he stopped and imitated the call of a fox, as if he wanted to communicate with the other Ghost Fox.
However, unexpectedly, when the Ghost Fox opened its mouth, it was not a fox cry, but a "clack-clack-clack", making a strange sound.
Superior Language!
Li Yan's eyes flashed.
Superior Language is the language used to communicate between elves.
This Ghost Fox can drive many ghosts, cast spells, and can also Superior Language, and can communicate with various beings. It is called the earth bully in the mountains and forests.
Even tigers, leopards and jackals have to hide and move away.
With its help, many things become easier.
Commandery Commandant Office Everyone also held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.
"Click, click, click..."
Lu San's Superior Language is very skilled. He and Ghost Fox are going back and forth, as if they are negotiating, sometimes tense, and sometimes the atmosphere is relaxed...
Finally, Ghost Fox stopped communicating, took a deep look at everyone, jumped up, and disappeared into the jungle.
The surrounding Yin Wind thick fog also disappeared.
The bright moon shines brightly, and what happened before seems like a dream...
"How's it going?"
Qianhu Huang Wenzhong couldn't wait to ask.
He was also extremely anxious. This case involved New-Style Gunpowder, which was a job that could cause him to lose his head.
But the opponent is cunning and all clues have been interrupted.
If not, how could we compromise with Li Yan.
Lu San is not good at communicating with others, and he has no good impressions of people in the government, so he ignored it. Instead, he looked at Li Yan and said, "This old fox does have news."
"The monk escaped and hid in a stronghold in the mountains, but the old fox said that there were gods in the stronghold, and they couldn't get close at all."
"Also, there is a person in the village who can produce thunder and fire. This mountain forest originally had a profound fox fairy who protected all the fox tribes nearby, but he was killed by that person with thunder and fire, and his heart was cut open to practice magic."
"The village is extremely secretive. The old fox agreed to lead the way, but there is a condition. The person who kills the Fox Fairy must die."
"Moreover, I want to return the fox fairy's heart."
"This is easy to handle!"
Chiliarch Huang agreed without hesitation. He turned around and said in a deep voice, "Centurion Wang, summon all the people immediately, and we will go into the forest to get people overnight!"
Li Yan frowned slightly and reminded, "My lord, don't forget, the old fox said that the village is protected by gods, so there must be warlocks to help..."
"Young Hero Li Don't worry."
Chiliarch Huang didn't seem to care, and said coldly, "Knowing that a warlock is causing trouble, how could I be unprepared? Let's just go into the forest, and Enforcement Hall's people will arrive soon."
Li Yan heard this and said no more.
With such a big case involving powerful sorcery, it's not surprising that Enforcement Hall would be involved.
Soon, a large number of people gathered at the city gate.
Commandery Commandant Office attaches great importance to this case. This time, a total of two hundred people came, all of them elite soldiers. Together with the soldiers from the local guard station, they were more than enough to attack the bandits' stronghold.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu San didn't waste any time and walked quickly towards the dense forest, followed closely by Li Yan and others to guard him.
They have reached a deal with Commandery Commandant Office, so naturally they want to take it seriously.
A few people walked at the front, Chiliarch Huang followed closely behind with two hundred households, and there were experts scattered around to explore the way.
As for the large number of people, they followed a hundred meters behind.
This is a formation for entering the mountains and forests. There are spies and support, and the entire army will not be annihilated due to being surrounded.
If something goes wrong, it can be quickly put back together.
However, it turned out that they were unnecessary.
Along the way, not even a single wild beast was seen in the mountains and forests. It seemed that all creatures were deliberately avoiding it. Only a few will-o'-wisps drifted in front of them to guide the way.
Chiliarch Huang couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw it.
Jingchu Mountain Area, has always been a serious concern for the imperial court.
This vast mountainous area starts from Zhongnan Mountain in the west, Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain, Northeast to Funiu Mountain in the southeast, and Jing Mountain in the south... The range is extremely amazing.
Not only that, it has rolling mountains, deep forests, sparsely populated areas, and fertile soil, which is good for people from the south and land farming for people from the north.
It can be said that refugees can live after they arrive.
Is this a good thing?
It is a good thing for the people. Whenever there is war, drought or locust plague in the world, or when the government exploits harshly and the people are in dire straits, they only need to flee to the mountains here to survive.
It is a joy to cultivate a few acres of fertile land without being subject to the control of the court.
But for the court, it was not a good thing.
Throughout the dynasties, refugees have flocked in. According to official statistics, there are millions of them, and they are not under the control of the imperial court.
If it is used by someone with intentions, just one command can destabilize Divine Land.
Therefore, successive imperial courts often ordered the refugees to be expelled and sent back to their hometowns, which intensified conflicts between the two sides and led to several large uprisings by the Jingxiang refugees.
Great Xuan Dynasty established Yunyang Prefecture to deal with this matter.
Although Yunyang Governor Yuan Qun has managed the problem well in recent years and many refugees have moved out under various preferential policies, they still cannot be eradicated.
Whenever there is a disaster in various states, refugees always go here.
Many wanted gangsters, evil magicians, and even many secret sects will choose to take root in this mountainous area.
Moreover, this is also a place where ancient Chu witchcraft is prevalent. The ancient San Miao ethnic group still remains, and weird things often happen.
Neither Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect nor Commandery Commandant Office can completely penetrate the power into the mountainous area.
Sometimes he even feels.
This mountainous area itself was deeply hostile to the imperial court.
Several times when I sent people to go deep, I would encounter Ghost Wall inexplicably.
This is the first time I feel so relaxed.
Thinking of this, Chiliarch Huang couldn't help but look at Lu San, his eyes gradually softened, as if he was looking at a treasure...
Walking in the mountains and forests at night is very difficult.
Even if all the wild beasts were avoided, there would be no nuisance. The complex terrain and difficult roads also made the soldiers secretly complain.
In addition, Chiliarch Huang prohibits ignition and the darkness is sloppy. From time to time, people trip over tree roots and even roll down the slope.
Finally, after walking forward for an hour, Lu San suddenly raised his hand.
"Stop!"
Deep in the dense forest, there seemed to be a fox chirping.
He listened carefully, then turned around and said, "It's on the hillside ahead, but not only does the opponent have hidden sentries, but they also have Yin Soul guarded."
"Okay, just find a place!"
Chiliarch Huang's eyes glowed with joy, and he smiled kindly and said, "Brother Lu San, thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to us."
We were called Lu San before, but now we are directly brothers.
Looking at his gaze, Lu San was obviously a little uncomfortable, and he quickly lowered his head and hid behind Li Yan.
"Hmph!"
Sha LiFei snorted, took off the water bottle from his waist, and said with a smile, "Come on, brother Lu San, have a drink of water, sit here, keep it clean."
He is a veteran, and he can tell at a glance that Chiliarch Huang is not well-intentioned.
Lu San is the treasure of their team, how can they let others pry it away.
"Old Sha, you... don't do this."
Lu San feels more and more uncomfortable.
Li Yan laughed dumbly and was too lazy to pay attention.
Commandery Commandant Office wanted to pry someone off, but it was a really wrong idea.
They are just tempting people with benefits and official positions, but they have no idea that these things are unattractive to some people.
Seeing the reactions of several people, Chiliarch Huang was not embarrassed. He smiled slightly, turned around and his face became serious, "Get ready, wait for the Enforcement Hall's people to come!"
Just as he said, Enforcement Hall's people had already set off. After waiting for less than half an hour, three Daoists arrived.
These three people didn't talk nonsense when they came. One climbed up Qi Observation, the other listened attentively, and then began to arrange the altar.
As for the Daoist leader, he stood in front holding a sword.
Li Yan knows that the three of them are going to summon soldiers and horses.
He was secretly frightened when he saw it. He didn't expect that when these people arrived, they would start such a big battle without any hesitation.
Obviously, Yunyang Prefecture's situation is very serious.
The two Daoists cooperated, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper quickly lit the talisman, Law Sword waved, and three Celestial Decree suddenly rose into the sky.
There was a warlock in the village on the mountain. Naturally, such a huge movement could not be concealed from the other party. Soon, firelights lit up, and accompanied by the noise of people, Yin Wind roared in.
"Hmph!"
The Daoist leader took off a bamboo talisman, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, from his waist, made a talisman with both hands, and recited at the same time. "All those who are facing the battle should march forward in formation!"
This technique seems familiar to Li Yan.
This is Mountain Opening Ghost Technique, Luo MingZi has been used before. It requires chanting Mountain Entering Six Jia Incantation and the cooperation of the magic weapon "Upper Xuan Bamboo Envoy Talisman".
Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect's troops have not arrived yet. This spell can expel Yin Soul and prevent the other party from causing trouble.
Phew!
Suddenly, there was a strong wind all around, but there was no sense of gloominess. A threatening aura also rose from the Daoist body.
The soldiers looked frightened and felt a sudden wind blowing, and there were many strange rustling sounds coming from the dark dense forest in the distance.
Li Yan has already secretly pinched Yang Seal.
He could smell the cold and bloody breath, swirling around him. He was not expelled by Daoist Mountain Opening Ghost Technique. Instead, he kept testing, coming around from the side, trying to attack the soldiers.
It's all Rampaging Soldiers!
Li Yan immediately knew the details of these negative things.
Rampaging Soldiers is aggressive and wanton, obviously Mountain Opening Ghost Technique did not scare these things away.
When the Daoist saw this, his face was obviously a little confused. He snorted coldly and said angrily, "Demons and Monsters, I don't know whether to live or die!"
He took out a piece of Yellow Talisman from his arms, pinched Mystical Gestures in his hand, and touched it on the long sword. The talisman immediately ignited spontaneously, and the long sword was also attached with a layer of Gangsha.
He jumped up and slashed with his sword.
Li Yan was speechless after seeing it.
Enforcement Hall Generally there are two types of Daoist priests.
One has passed Body Root, is good at close combat, and uses magic to assist.
The other type mainly focuses on arranging the altar.
This man has good skills. Judging from the situation, it is almost Peak of Hidden Strength. His swordsmanship combines hardness and softness, which should be Wudang swordsmanship.
Daoxing has almost two floors, which is much inferior to Luo MingZi. It is a bit difficult to cope with the current situation.
Slash with a sword... Feminine objects can be far faster than humans!
"Daoist Master, help me!"
Li Yan shouted in a deep voice, and immediately took out Divine Tiger Token, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper from his waist, "Nogao, with three stars on the left and three prisons on the right, the world is turned upside down, all nine roads are blocked, making you lose your heart... You are as urgent as the law!"
The one he used is Northern Emperor Body Protection Incantation.
"Ho--!"
Everyone seemed to hear the sound of Tiger's Roar. Commandery Commandant Office Many people turned their heads suddenly and looked at Li Yan with surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
They felt as if the person in front of them had turned into a ferocious beast.
However, <Northern Emperor Body Protection Incantation> is far from being as simple as scaring people. The real power lies in hurting the soul. In the mild case, it will make you faint, and in the worst case, you will fall into an illusion.
When Li Yan saw Tiger Daoist for the first time, he almost fainted because he was frightened by the opponent's spell because he moved the magic weapon rashly.
Before, he had no deep knowledge and could only use it to scare wild beasts.
But now, it has been able to hurt Divine Soul.
Sure enough, when Tiger's Roar sounded, the surrounding Yin Winds suddenly became confused, and those Rampaging Soldierss suddenly became confused, bumping left and right.
"Good idea!"
The Daoist cheered and rushed directly towards a Rampaging Soldiers, slashing with his long sword and beating the opponent to death.
Then, he pinched Mystical Gestures at the same time, his fingers changed continuously, and he slapped a palm to the right, followed by a muffled sound, and Yin Wind roared.
It was Xuanmen Palm Thunder who scattered a Rampaging Soldiers.
Seeing that Li Yan's technique was sharp, he secretly wanted to compete, so he directly used Palm Thunder.
But when I looked at it secretly, I was secretly frightened.
I saw Li Yan on the other side, without even pulling out the knife, he also pinched the magic weapon, his palm crackled, and with a light pat, one Rampaging Soldiers was scattered.
Yin Thunder Palm?
Aren't you traveling warlocks? Ordinary magicians don't know this!
But something happened that left him even more speechless.
The originally inconspicuous Daoist with a long beard pulled out a Coin Sword from behind, pinched the Mystical Gestures and lightly touched it, and the shocking Gangsha Energy suddenly rose into the air.
The Daoist pinched Mystical Gestures with his hand, waved it to the left, and chopped it to the right.
Rampaging Soldiers, who was more than ten meters away, was stunned.
Spend money in hoarding to ward off evil spirits and fight ghosts with the sword!
The Daoist was jealous for a while.
A magical weapon of this level can be turned into a small game, and it can be used to kill ghosts with its power. He carries out tasks everywhere and accumulates Yin Kung, but he can't afford to replace it.
There are also magical instruments used by young people just now, which are equally extraordinary.
Where did these guys come from?
How come you are so rich...
After Li Yan scattered the nearby Rampaging Soldiers, he immediately stopped and watched Wang Dao Xuan display his power, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At the time of Li Family Fortress, a Rampaging Soldiers killed him.
But now, you can kill with just a wave of your hand.
When he was in Huashan, many Xuanmen masters gathered together, and he felt like a lackey, insignificant at all.
Only now do I really feel the growth...
Suddenly, he sniffed, turned around suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming, be careful of hidden arrows!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, there were sounds that broke through the air.
The opponent was still far away, so he just listened to the wind to identify his position and fired arrows randomly. When the arrows hit, they were already weak and weak.
Li Yan drew out his sword with a clang, slashed left and right, and all the arrows shot were immediately blocked, protecting Wang Dao Xuan and others.
To him, night is the same as day.
Commandery Commandant Office's side suffered a loss. Several people grunted and were hit by arrows, while the rest bent their bows and nocked arrows, shooting back randomly.
Phew~
Just then, the wind started blowing around again.
Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect's troops finally arrived.
Soon, Yin Wind roared between heaven and earth, and sand and stones flew...
The third one will be released later
Also, I recommend a book with the same folklore theme.
