Chapter 210 Strange Beast
There are many barbarians in Huguang land.
But the so-called barbarians are all descendants of Divine Land from Ancient Race.
For example, in ancient Jingchu Region, there were Miao Man, which was rumored to be Chi You Descendants of the Nine Li, and then Yu Zheng San Miao was listed as Four Crimes.
For example, in <"Classic of Mountains and Seas">, it is mentioned: Ba State is born in the southwest. Tai Hao begets Xian Niao, Xian Niao begets Cheng Li, Cheng Li begets Hou Zhao, and Hou Zhao is the original Ba people.
The "Ban Dun Man" in Ancient Ba People, King Wu had already participated in the war and made achievements when he defeated Zhou, and also participated in the war when the Han Dynasty was prospered and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.
Another important "Lin Jun Man" was destroyed by Qin, and was replaced by Ba Commandery. Ba family was the head of the barbarian king and the daughter of Qin.
And "Ban Dun Man" and "Lin Jun Man" are important parts of the Tujia people today...
Ba and Chu have always been inseparable.
Li Yan comes from a previous life, so naturally he doesn't care about this.
He was just a little surprised, how did these two groups of people get together?
You know, today we still have the chieftain system. Ethnic minorities in various places have chieftains, Tuguan, and territorial autonomy.
This is the so-called "Hans will not enter the cave, and barbarians will not leave the country."
Of course, with the development of the times, it is no longer so strict.
When he was in Shangjin City, he bought things at a grocery store run by an old Tujia person. There were many Tujia people living in Lidong in Yunyang City.
But it's definitely not easy for these two groups of people to come together.
Li Yan gave a wink, and everyone became more careful to hide it.
Barbarians, with disheveled hair and tattoos all over his face, was obviously the leader of a gang. As soon as he walked into the forest, he said sharply:
"Bring him up!"
Suddenly, a person was pushed out from the crowd.
This person was dressed very strangely, with black cloth Hunting Clothes underneath and a red Daoist robe embroidered with gossip on the outside.
It's the warlock of the Meishan Sect!
When everyone saw it, they immediately understood.
This Meishan Sect warlock has a beard on his face and looks strong. He should be a majestic man, but at the moment he is in an extremely embarrassed state.
Not only were his clothes messy, there were blood stains everywhere on his body. After being pushed out, he staggered and fell to the ground.
"Have you thought about it?"
The Barbarians warlock asked with cold eyes.
Meishan Sect's man didn't reply and spat out bloody foam.
"Hmph!"
Barbarians Warlock snorted coldly, "You Meishan Lineage, you can also be considered Descendants of the Nine Li, why are you so stubborn? Could it be that Song Era'Opening Meishan' has already broken your knees?"
"Bah!"
The Meishan Sect warlock said angrily, "Demons and Monsters, stop pretending here, kill or behead as you please!"
At this moment, a Han man holding a sharp knife behind sighed, shook his head and said, "Mister Tian, you are confused."
"Today, the imperial court is tyrannical, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are in dire straits. We are also Han Chinese, but we have no choice but to hide in the mountains."
"That's it, the court won't let us go."
"Now there is no way out. If you help us, Heavenly Saint Duke will be resurrected, and Divine Descent to the World will be able to overthrow the tyranny of the imperial court..."
"Bah!"
Meishan Sect The man's mouth was full of blood and he cursed angrily, "What kind of virtues do you Heavenly Saint Sect have that I don't know yet?"
"Those mountain people are hiding in the mountains, and their lives are at risk. They are being exploited by you and others, not to mention the imperial court. Now Heavenly Saint Sect has long become a shelter for filth and evil!"
"I know what you are afraid of."
"Everyone can see that the imperial court established the Yunyang Mansion and gave preferential treatment to the mountain people. You are spreading rumors, slandering, and even leading riots in the mountains, just because you are afraid of losing your foothold!"
"And you, don't think that I don't know that you are the chieftain's subordinates. Replace Tusi with centrally appointed officials, Divine Land unification is the general trend. You are just afraid of losing your power!"
"When war breaks out, how many people will be displaced."
"The clans are divided into Han and barbarians, but there is no distinction between good and evil!"
Good guy!
Li Yan saw it and couldn't help but admire it secretly.
After hearing these words, he still didn't know the cause and effect.
It is still related to the current chaos in Yunyang.
The land of Huguang is not only the hinterland of Divine Land, but also a major grain-producing province, but the situation is also extremely complex.
Replace Tusi with centrally appointed officials, it is the policy of the imperial court to gather the mountain people.
Only if this place is stable can Divine Land be stable.
But now these two policies will undoubtedly touch the interests of many people, and all kinds of chaos will arise as a result.
Heavenly Saint Sect and those toasts have obviously colluded.
Listen to what they want, do you want to resurrect Heavenly Saint Duke?
Could it be that you want it to return to the sun?
But listen, it's not that simple...
At this moment, Lin Yu behind him grabbed his clothes.
Li Yan turned around and saw that the fat man's eyes were filled with tears and his eyes were full of determination. He cupped his hands and begged in a low voice, "Help!"
Looking at the other people, they all nodded seriously.
No matter Wang Dao Xuan, Sha LiFei, or Lu San, although they are all people in the world and do not want to get too entangled with the court, they are all infected by this Meishan Sect man's righteousness.
Li Yan didn't talk nonsense, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice:
"Wait for the opportunity!"
On the opposite side, those people were obviously angered by the words of man Meishan Sect, and they kicked him hard and knocked him to the ground.
One of them, Barbarians, picked up a machete and said viciously, "This man has no good intentions, so let's just kill him!"
The leading warlock Barbarians hesitated, but still nodded.
Li Yan When I saw it, I knew I couldn't wait any longer.
Although it is easiest to use traps to kill people, in order to save people, you can only show up in advance.
"I lure the enemy, and you guerrilla from the sidelines!"
After some warnings, Li Yan jumped out.
"Who?!"
When they heard the wind, those people immediately became alert.
But he saw a young man in black emerging from the dark forest. He was holding a long knife and had a fair face, striding towards him under the moonlight.
Li Yan used Phantom Body Footwork and seemed to shrink to an inch. He pulled out the long knife with a clang and said in a cold voice, "You all should be wise and let him go, so as not to spatter Laozi's blood!"
"Where did you come from, bastard!"
When a man from the Heavenly Saint Sect saw this, he cursed, jumped out and rushed towards Li Yan.
Others just watched indifferently, obviously having great confidence in this man.
This man's kung fu was indeed impressive. There was wind under his feet and his body was like thunder. Before anyone came close, he shook his right shoulder and his spear whizzed out.
"Yang family Pear Blossom Spear?"
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged and his steps continued.
This Yang family Pear Blossom Spear has nothing to do with Yang Family Generals, but was created by the Red Coat Army leader Li Quan's wife, Yang Miaozhen, in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty.
This gun has a great reputation. It is sharp in advance, fast in retreat, dangerous in power, and short in speed. Immovable as a Mountain, it is widely spread throughout Qilu.
When this man holds a gun, he holds the base of the gun in his hand. He draws the gun very long and moves it like Lei Zhen. This is the unique move of Pear Blossom Spear, which strikes him off guard.
Once it is blocked, heavy rain will come.
He clearly saw that Li Yan was holding a long knife, so he took advantage of his spear skills to overcome his shortcomings, and wanted to resolve the battle within a few moves.
The other party does have some capital and has already set foot in Hidden Strength.
But it is far from enough to deal with Li Yan!
Faced with the shocking shot, Li Yan dodged, and Hidden Strength exploded under his feet, while Side Step Shoulder Shift.
Phew!
The sharp gun blade slashed three inches from his chest.
And Li Yan has already been approaching in an instant.
Not good!
The man's scalp exploded, so he drew his gun sideways and retreated.
However, it's already too late.
Li Yan raised the knife horizontally and continued walking without even looking at it.
Behind him, half of the man's neck had been cut off, his head hung to one side, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground.
"I have lots of ideas, let's work together!"
When those people saw it, they roared in anger.
Immediately, five or six people jumped out, holding knives or swords, and scattered around Li Yan.
They are able to come here to perform secret missions, obviously they are all carefully selected experts, and they have basically stepped into Hidden Strength.
With the enemy outnumbered, it is natural to adopt the strategy of encirclement.
Buzz buzz!
However, before they could take action, there was the sound of flapping wings and dense numbers of poisonous bees swarming around them.
"Ah--!"
Several people were immediately stung and screamed.
These poisonous bees were bred by Demon Gourd. Although they are not spiritual insects and have no moral ability, they are somewhat contaminated with Demon Qi, and the venom is quite powerful.
Once stung, even a tough man can't stand it.
The encirclement has become a joke.
Li Yan will naturally not miss the opportunity. His feet are like wind. Blade Light flashes. He slashes left, sweeps horizontally and swipes right to kill three people directly.
"They still have people!"
"Let's block it first and quickly invite the corpse!"
Seeing this situation, those people were also panicked.
There was a Barbarians warlock who took off his tambourine from his waist, shook his head and recited a spell, and slapped it hard at the same time.
The rhythm of the drums is weird and has a certain ancient charm.
Poisonous Bee Swarm was disturbed and flew up and down suddenly.
At the same time, there were two people protecting the leading warlock Barbarians, and they hurriedly ran towards the place where the zombies were buried.
When he arrived, the Barbarians warlock threw out a handful of Yellow Talisman, shook the Soul Calming Bell at the same time, stepped on his feet, and kept chanting incantations.
It turned out to be from the Xiangxi lineage?
Li Yan frowned slightly, feeling regretful in his heart.
Perhaps because he saw too many masters in Huashan, he was a little too cautious and used gunpowder traps.
I didn't expect this group of people to be so helpless.
If I had known earlier, I would have taken immediate action.
Perhaps, their strength has improved too quickly.
How can we see so many masters in ordinary rivers and lakes battles...
Sure enough, the Xiangxi warlock screamed fiercely, but he was already in a state of confusion. He shook the bell, but saw no effect, and suddenly panicked, "How is it possible?"
After saying that, he hurried forward and hurriedly opened up the dead leaves.
Seeing that the zombie's neck had been broken, my eyes suddenly felt distressed, and I picked up the neck to check.
This Old Zombie is a treasure passed down from his family.
But as soon as I picked it up, I realized something was wrong.
Boom!
Accompanied by the light of the fire, there was a loud noise in the forest.
Mud and flying rocks flew everywhere, and the warlock and the two guards beside him were immediately thrown away. Their faces were covered with iron pieces, and they became motionless.
"Okay!"
Sha LiFei was immediately excited when he saw this.
With the addition of Coal Essence, the power of gunpowder has been greatly improved. Although it is not as good as the New-Style Gunpowder of the imperial court, it is enough to deal with people in the world.
"It's the imperial troops!"
As soon as the gunpowder was released, those people became even more panicked.
Not caring about talking to his companions, he turned around and ran away.
Li Yan didn't know how to hold back, he took out the throwing knife directly from his waist, reached out and flicked it, and inserted it directly into the back of someone's head.
At this moment, there are three people left on the other side.
One person panicked, held a knife to the Meishan Dharma Sect warlock's throat, and screamed, "Don't come over, or I'll kill him!"
There were two others who had already run towards the forest.
Li Yan was about to catch up, but he was startled and stopped, looking ahead with uncertainty in his eyes.
He smelled a smell rising from the ground.
Brutal and bloody, extremely domineering.
Bang!
As the two people were walking forward, the soil on the ground suddenly splashed everywhere, and a head covered with scales emerged, opening its fangs and mouth.
Poof!
One person was immediately bitten into two pieces, and before the remaining person had time to react, a giant scaly tail roared out of the soil and hit him directly in the chest.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones cracking, the man flew seven or eight meters away, hit a tree, and fell heavily again without any movement...
