As soon as he came out of the alley, Wang Dao Xuan smiled and said, "This Chiliarch Huang actually knows how to protect himself wisely..."
Shangjin City Things are too big over there.
At the same time, it is also a huge achievement.
Chiliarch Huang came out to run an errand, and Centurion Liu, who was in the way, was arranged beside him, which shows that his position among Commandery Commandant Office may be a bit embarrassing.
Great merit is not necessarily a good thing.
After all, this matter has just begun. If he takes the lead and continues to investigate, who knows if someone will deliberately delay it.
Once something goes wrong, your life is at risk.
As for his illness, he just needs to take the credit, take a step back, and let others continue to investigate.
Another scheming official...
Although he was feeling emotional, Li Yan was not interested in the affairs of the imperial court, so he and Wang Dao Xuan walked through the streets and prepared to go back.
At this moment, there was chaos on the street, and people fled one after another. The vendors along the way also hurriedly pulled their stalls back, not caring about how many bottles and cans were broken.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy footsteps and the friction of armor came, but it was an army from Yunyang Garrison, wearing armor and holding long guns, passing through the street.
Among the companions were the captains riding horses.
Soon, a roar rose in the distance, "Regional Military Commissioner has an order, arrest all those who attack the government office!"
Yunyang Prefecture In the square outside the government office, there was a sudden chaos...
On the street, people watching the excitement fled in all directions.
Various curses came from outside the government office.
"Killing people!"
Horrified screams followed...
Li Yan's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice, "Daoist priest, let's go quickly, let's go back from another place!"
After saying that, he turned around immediately.
Wang Dao Xuan also shook his head slightly and followed closely.
They passed through several alleys and climbed up the stone path on the hillside, and were far away from the place of right and wrong.
There are ramps behind the north side of Yunyang Prefecture, which get higher and higher. At the same time, you can also see the scene outside Yunyang Prefecture.
There was chaos there, with troops wandering around arresting the troublemaking natives, and fires burning in some places, sending up thick black smoke.
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Yunyang Prefecture It's getting more and more chaotic. I don't know what big thing it's going to cause. We'll get the ultimatum tomorrow and we'll set off immediately."
There was chaos in the city, and the two of them had no intention of wandering around. They quickened their pace and returned to the Jiangzhe Guild Hall in less than Three Incense Sticks time.
Outside the hall, many people stood and watched from a distance.
Judging from their appearance and conversational words, they are all merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Chen Jizu is also among them, and they all have solemn expressions.
One of them attracted the attention of Li Yan.
He was a tall man. He was different from other businessmen. Although he was also wearing Yuanwai Robe, his face had a fierce look. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a beard, and he looked more like a man from the world.
What's even more special is the large parrot standing on its shoulders.
Divine Land There have been parrots since ancient times, commonly known as "parrots".
Tang Era There is a poem that mentions: Long Mountain Tens of millions of people, the top of a parrot's nest.
But the one in front of me is particularly special. Not only is it huge, it is also very colorful and eye-catching.
More like the Rainforest Macaw I saw in my previous life.
However, the body size seems to be larger.
"Fuck him!"
"Fuck him!"
Seeing the chaos in the city, the parrot seemed to be very excited, its feathers stood up, and it screamed at the top of its voice.
Seeing this, a businessman next to him laughed dumbly and said, "Brother Luo, you are from a wealthy family, why is it so rude to raise a parrot?"
"What the hell!"
The man laughed, took out a piece of dried fruit and fed it to the parrot next to him. He shook his head and said, "This little guy accompanies me to wander on the sea. He comes around all rough people, so naturally he can't learn well. Sometimes he gets scolded very unpleasantly."
As he spoke, he said with fond eyes, "Thanks to this little thing for delivering the message, otherwise I would have been buried in the sea and never come back."
After saying this, others also became interested.
One of them said in a deep voice, "Yunyang Prefecture This mess won't be over in a while, so why not Brother Luo continue to talk about your experiences at sea."
"Let's go, I'm waiting to hear the important part!"
Everyone was chattering and surrounded the man as he entered the guild hall.
Li Yan's heart moved, and he quickly pulled Chen Jizu and asked, "Has this person just returned from overseas?"
Chen Jizu smiled and said, "This person's name is Luo RuLie, but he is Jiangnan Luo Family. He is active by nature and has superb martial arts skills. He was the first person to organize a fleet to go out after the sea opened."
"Originally, the harvest was very fruitful, and the Luo family prospered because of it. However, a shipwreck occurred and the entire fleet was wiped out, resulting in a loss of capital."
"I came here this time to persuade some Jiangzhe Merchant Guild to help him regain his strength and go to sea again."
"But the risk is too great, and he has been in trouble before, so not many people are willing to take action. Therefore, this person wanders around the chambers of commerce in various states, telling stories about the sea, hoping to find someone willing to invest."
"Young Hero Li If you are interested, you can go and listen."
Of course Li Yan was interested, since he had nothing to do anyway, and asked Wang Dao Xuan to go back to his room to inform him of the news, while he followed the businessmen into Wing Room's front yard.
A lot of people have gathered here, all businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Luo RuLie is vividly recounting his overseas experiences.
"Japan is not interesting. Now Toyotomi Clan is in power. It is said that Taiko has just unified the country, but there are still evil spirits everywhere."
"But there is a lot of silver over there. There are merchants who specialize in trading with them, exchanging silver for returning home, and making a lot of profits."
"Also, many of the unlucky ones who failed in the battle with the Toyotomi Clan became Ronin Pirates, causing trouble everywhere, and many of them were killed by me..."
"Nanyang Countries is rich in spice gems. The key is some Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. These idiots didn't even know them, but now they have learned a lot and are following our people everywhere."
"The witchcraft style is strong over there, and there is also the inheritance of the Dharma lineage flowing from Divine Land, but it has gone astray, and the spells are vicious and bloody, and it is very difficult to deal with..."
"There is a continent further south, called Luosuo Si on <Island Barbarian Records>. They are all natives and have many poisons..."
"Nowadays, Red Haired Foreigners are the most numerous people on the sea. These people are looking for gold everywhere. Everywhere they go, they stick a wooden cross. They are very annoying. I often fight with them..."
"There are also some pirates who are very disgusting. We destroyed their ships and after catching the sheep, we threw them all into the sea."
"Why is this?"
"Tsk tsk, don't you understand this? We have been sailing on the sea for several months, and sometimes we get impatient, and beautiful men and ewes will suffer."
"What a beast!"
"Brother Luo, have you ever encountered any strange things at sea?"
"Of course strange things happen. The most terrifying thing is meeting Ghost Ship, chasing him in the middle of the night, and then disappearing without a trace after dawn..."
"Also, I have seen sharks..."
This Luo RuLie has a good mouth and an amazing eloquence. He tells strange stories about the sea in a cadence.
Of course, there are more stories of getting rich.
Li Yan After listening for a while, he vaguely realized that this should be the period of great navigation.
But unlike the previous life, many evil spirits and monsters in this world really exist, so it is more difficult to explore.
Moreover, weird powers are inherited in many places.
According to what Luo RuLie said, if there are no warlocks following you when you go to sea now, you will definitely not be able to come back. There are also people from the Feng Shui Dharma lineage in Ganzhou who go to sea and start to figure out the Feng Shui topography of the sea...
Guanzhong is located inland, still mainly agricultural, relatively isolated, Ezhou is connected from north to south, but there is chaos.
Only in the port cities of coastal states, large-scale handicraft workshops have sprung up.
Silk, tea, porcelain... demand exceeds supply.
As the fleet went to sea and exchanged a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, various legends of getting rich overnight were widely spread along the coast.
This is a chaotic and turbulent era!
Li Yan was fascinated by what he heard, but was not in a hurry.
For him, continuing to practice and continuously improve his strength is the right path.
When we returned to Wing Room, it was already noon.
After having a casual lunch, Li Yan talked about his experiences and his plans.
Nowadays, Yunyang Prefecture is in chaos. Even though they are somewhat capable, they are alone and it would be unwise to get involved in any trouble.
Therefore, I will leave immediately after receiving the ultimatum tomorrow.
First, he went to Yichang to help Yan Jiuling's mother treat her illness and fulfill the promise. Then he went to Purple Canopy Mountain Blessed Grotto-Heavens to find out what happened.
Afterwards, we took on jobs from various places to prepare for the construction of the Mount Wudang building.
After making up their minds, the others went back to rest. After all, it was a long way to Yichang and they had to be energetic.
Li Yan, on the other hand, took a few arithmetic books and looked at them carefully while pondering.
There is nothing we can do about it. The spells on <North Emperor Scripture> become more powerful and complex as they go further.
If you don't understand the art of counting yin and yang, you won't be able to learn it at all.
Now he has mastered <North Emperor Chuling Technique>, <Northern Emperor Body Protection Incantation>, <North Emperor Swift Travel Technique> and <North Emperor Yin Thunder Palm>.
Of course, <Divine Travel Technique> has only mastered half of it. To learn how to use the armor and horse, you must also understand the spells before you can master the other half Risk Crossing Incantation.
By combining the two, you can enter some dangerous places, such as the strange situation formed by the gathering of Innate Fiend Energy.
If you are trapped by evil objects, you can also use this method to escape.
In addition, he also needs to learn a new type of <North Emperor Calamity Removal Technique>, which is specially used to solve curses, collisions and ghost possessions.
Of course, these are all basic techniques.
The <North Emperor Scripture> he built is under the command of North Yin Fengdu Emperor. Northern Ghost Emperor in Five Direction Ghost Emperors is Great Yin God, taboo Nogao, and Luo Feng Mountain.
Further down, it involves its fundamental techniques.
The first thing to master is <North Emperor Black Water Escape>, which is the Northern Ghost Emperor escape technique. Because Luo Feng Mountain is located in the extremely Yin Sea, and the north belongs to water, so water escape is its specialty escape technique.
After preliminary mastering, there are two abilities. One is to cause mist to rise around you, and you can hide in the mist to escape or kill the enemy.
Second, you can enter the water, use the escape method to shuttle back and forth, and can not breathe for a long time.
As Daoism improves, the escape technique is sufficient, and one can even use water mist and Yin thunder to combine, and cast spells, no longer afraid of siege, and can even injure and trap enemies in a large area.
This is the art of escape, and it is definitely not just for escaping.
Of course, if you want to learn <North Emperor Black Water Escape>, you must be proficient in the basic <Divine Travel Technique> and the armor-evading spell.
After watching it for two hours, Li Yan also felt dizzy.
It is indeed difficult to learn magic. This is because Wang Dao Xuan taught him many basics. Ordinary people cannot even get started.
After putting the book down, Li Yan took out a copper ball from his arms.
The copper ball is solid and has many small dents around it.
Whoosh!
Li Yan threw the copper ball up, and then pulled out the knife with a clang. When the copper ball fell, he flicked his wrist and gently picked up the back of the knife.
With a crisp sound, the copper ball jumped up again.
This is the method taught to him by Huashan Yu Fengzi.
The copper ball is smooth and has extremely small dents. It requires extraordinary eyesight to hit the dents every time to make it jump vertically.
And the force must be just right.
No matter how the copper ball spins, it must remain at the same height when it falls and is hit again.
This method can, firstly, practice sword control, and secondly, practice strength.
The so-called Transformed Strength means that Hidden Strength operates as expected. When it encounters a circle, it becomes round, and when it encounters a square, it becomes square. When the enemy attacks with Hidden Strength, it can be easily destroyed.
This is the precise control of one's own Martial Power.
When the copper ball hits the knife, there is no need to press the knife to relieve the force, but to use Hidden Strength to dissolve it without making any sound, even if it is Transformed Strength.
Ding ding ding!
Li Yan felt it carefully. As the copper ball fell, he swung the knife to the left, swiped it to the right, and lifted it up. Every time he hit it, he hit it accurately.
No matter how the body shape changes, the copper ball always jumps to the same height and the sound becomes smaller and smaller.
And this method can be used from now on.
Once you are completely proficient, you can replace it with copper balls that are completely smooth and without dents, or even increase the number.
Before I knew it, it was already dark.
After having some casual dinner, Li Yan packed his luggage for tomorrow, concentrated on his breath, lay down and fell asleep.
It's midnight, the moon and stars are sparse.
Li Yan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He smelled some special smell. Although it was very light, he couldn't escape Olfactory Mystical Power. It was a grassy and woody smell, mixed with a fishy smell.
Judging from the smell, it turns out to be a small humanoid!
Paper figures, straw figures, or some kind of magic?
Li Yan remained calm and slowly held Severing Dust Blade.
The breath was very careful and did not make any sound. It crawled in the corridor and unexpectedly arrived outside Lu Third Gate.
Li Yan immediately raised the corners of his mouth, waiting to see the joke.
"Squeak!"
Sure enough, there was a scream from outside the door.
In the quiet night, it was extremely obvious.
Li Yan jumped out with the knife, but when he saw what it was, his face was filled with surprise.
It was indeed a small figure, but it was not a paper man, but a half-foot-tall monster with skin like pitch-black bark, a pair of green eyes, and crawling on all fours like an animal.
It was covered in black mist and gloomy air, its figure was blurry, and it was bumping around, obviously trying to escape.
However, from Lu San's room, more than twenty hornets had flown out, buzzing and flapping their wings, surrounding him.
There is another hidden member in their team, the Demon Gourd that Lu San carries.
This Demon Gourd can release poisonous wasps, which are very aggressive, but very honest. Lu San feeds honey regularly every day, and then provides incense, which becomes a powerful protective weapon.
What kind of monster is this?
Looking at the weird little man, Li Yan was suddenly filled with surprise.
Lu San also pushed out the door at this time, looking at the little man on the ground with doubts on his face. Only Wang Dao Xuan, who also went out, his eyes lit up.
"It's Mu Ke!"
"I heard that this kind of little spirit is hidden in deep places in the mountains and forests of southern Jiangxi, western Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guixi. It is rarely seen by people. How could it appear in Ezhou?"
"Catch him first and then talk about it."
Li Yan strode forward and took action.
At this moment, a fat figure pushed out the door from the opposite side, ran over in a hurry, and begged:
"Everyone, please show mercy."
