Chapter 212 Turmoil in Jingchu
"What the hell is this?"
Sha LiFei's eyes widened with curiosity on his face.
He followed Li Yan and also found Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
That was when I went into the mountains with Zhao the Donkey to look for Thunderstruck Wood. I also saw a strange sight at that time, a lightning bolt jumping in the mountains and forests.
But compared to the scene in front of me, it was nothing to mention.
In the lacquered Black Mountain forest, white Spiritual Light appear one after another, like countless lanterns floating, rising and falling, very spiritual.
Li Yan frowned and looked at Lin Yu.
He also knows something about holding back treasures.
Finding the target is only the first step. If there is no way to restrain it, Heavenly Spiritual Treasure will immediately lose its luck or even escape.
Fatty Lin Yu is worthy of being the inheritor of suppressing treasures. He was extremely calm at the moment, staring straight ahead and said solemnly, "Master didn't tell me how to restrain himself, but I have also seen something fishy."
"Zi Hour belongs to Yin. When these things appear, they are either buried underground, or they are Yin objects in the tomb, and they are all in the soil."
"Chen Chou is wet soil, Wei Xu is dry soil; Chen is Yang wet soil, Chou is Yin wet soil; Xu is Yang dry soil, Wei Xu is Yin dry soil..."
"That earth dragon is Chinese Alligator who obtained the Daoist Path by chance. His blood is masculine, his scales are tough, and his nature is mostly yang dry earth!"
"Wu Earth According to the twelve fortunes, it is longer than Yin, Mu is at Mao, Crown is at Chen, Linguan is at Si, Emperor is prosperous at Wu... The womb is in the child, only Zi Hour can be taken. According to the calculation, Fire and Wood can be restrained!"
"Quickly, find dry firewood, light it and surround it!"
After everyone heard this, they didn't talk nonsense, and immediately went to find firewood to light, and surrounded him from all directions.
Sure enough, Treasure Hunter has his own tricks.
As they approached with torches, those white lanterns Spiritual Light did not dissipate, but were driven away and continued to gather towards the center.
The space gradually became crowded, and all Spiritual Light began to merge.
Eventually, it turned into a ball of white light the size of a water tank, with dense light flowing around it and a vague shadow in it.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
I saw that the shadow was somewhat similar to the earth dragon just now, but it had strong hind legs, slender forelimbs, a huge head, and a mouth full of fangs.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Lu San frowned, feeling inexplicably disgusted.
Lin Yu was a little confused, "No... it's not a dragon."
Only Li Yan had a strange look in his eyes.
He had seen this thing in his previous life,
It's clearly some kind of dinosaur!
Whoosh!
Just when everyone was confused, the ball of Spiritual Light instantly sank into the ground and disappeared.
"Quick, stack firewood!"
Lin Yu did not panic, but instead led everyone to pile all the firewood at the place where the light group disappeared.
A blazing bonfire was lit, and people continued to collect firewood from all directions, pile it up and burn it.
After passing Zi Hour, everyone immediately extinguished the bonfire, cleared away the charcoal ashes, and then dug down.
These digging tools were all found from the thieves, and they were obviously planning to come and dig for treasure.
"Stop!"
Li Yan kept holding Yang Seal, and after digging less than one meter, he quickly waved his hand to stop everyone, then carefully peeled away the soil and took out an artifact.
This is a clay pot with a round mouth and three hollow legs.
"This is the baby?" Sha LiFei's eyes lit up.
Li Yan looked solemn and shook his head. "No, this thing was originally buried underground. This thing is called 'Li' and it is an ancient vessel."
He had seen this kind of thing in a museum in his previous life. In the late Stone Age, there were pottery kei. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, pottery kei and bronze kei coexisted.
Thinking of this, Li Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Tian QiLang, "Those people said, this is the holy land of Guchu Witch Ritual?"
"Hmm."
Tian QiLang nodded and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Li, are you interested in these? We have a lot of them in Meishan. Sometimes we feed the animals water when we find them."
"If you want it, I'll give you seventy or eighty pieces."
Li Yan was stunned, then sighed quietly, "Forget it."
Perhaps in those ancient times, this place had a lot of glory, but now, it is just a pile of loess.
Having said that, let's continue digging.
His current Smelling Mystical Power can detect ten meters underground, and he already knows what the treasures below are.
Sure enough, another meter thick was dug, and large pieces of pebbles appeared in front of everyone. After washing with water, some turned yellow and some turned green.
"Is it a stone egg?"
When Lin Yu saw it, he suddenly became a little depressed, "It turns out that this thing, many people over there have dug it up. It is made from the pebbles of the ancient Savage Wilderness beast's fetus, and it is not a real dragon."
"Savage Wilderness beast?"
Sha LiFei was interested when he heard it, "What will Savage Wilderness's beasts look like?"
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "They are all petrified, and only the skeletons can be vaguely seen. If you are interested, break a few open and have a look."
"Don't!"
Li Yan quickly stopped and pulled open a stone next to it. There was a small dinosaur fossil on it, "That's what it looks like."
"It's nothing unusual."
Sha LiFei lost interest at first sight.
Of course, the dinosaur egg that transformed into Heavenly Spiritual Treasure cannot be missed.
Li Yan and others continue to dig deeper.
The dinosaur egg fossils here are very dense and not buried deeply. If it were in the past life, it would definitely be a great discovery that shocked everyone.
But here, no one cares.
Finally, they found that special fossil.
This dinosaur egg is unique. It is embedded in a whole piece of rock and is crystal clear, just like jade.
The dinosaur bones inside are also clearly visible.
Li Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are indeed many miracles in this world. Dinosaur eggs turned into jade, no one believed it to be real in the previous life.
He was excited and put his hand on it.
In an instant, waves of fiery power poured into the Dantian and were absorbed by Great Luo Dharma Body.
The previous Great Luo Dharma Body cracks have been completely repaired after Shangjin City absorbed the good fortune of Coal Essence.
After this power was absorbed, light blue Spiritual Light first gathered on the empty left shoulder, and then with a pop, a faint blue flame ignited, surging and spinning.
The extinguished soul fire was ignited again!
Li Yan was excited and quickly let go of his hand.
The fortune contained in this Heavenly Spiritual Treasure dinosaur egg is so huge that it only consumes 30% to light a lamp.
Suddenly he had a guess in his mind.
The luck contained in this thing should be related to life. Perhaps the Strange Beast earth dragon absorbed this thing and obtained the opportunity to change.
Also, the first time I lit the soul fire after repairing it, I also absorbed the luck of Mass Burial Grounds Mountain Tai Sui.
The two have one thing in common, they both contain majestic vitality!
Lighting the soul fire must have something to do with this.
And this dinosaur egg Heavenly Spiritual Treasure cannot be wasted.
Those Coal Essence are both trilobite fossils, and maybe dinosaur eggs are the same, and the speed of good fortune is very slow.
If so, then there is another life!
Even if the guess is wrong, the remaining good fortune will prevent Heavenly Spiritual Treasure from being damaged.
Li Yan did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked Sha LiFei to find a skin bag, carefully cut out the dinosaur eggs and put them into it.
When the matter was over, everyone was no longer interested.
To them, this crystal-clear dinosaur egg fossil is no different from a rare piece of jewelry and is not as useful as the earthen dragon skin.
What surprised them was that Li Yan called everyone to bury the pot into the ground and refill it with soil.
"Yan XiaoGe, why are you going to all this trouble?"
"Don't cut off the roots, it may be useful to future generations..."
When everyone returned to the boat, it was already dawn.
Li Yan asked "Fast Boat Zhang" to turn the ship's bow and send Tian QiLang to the river bank several miles away from Yunyang Prefecture.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, everyone, see you soon!"
Tian QiLang said goodbye solemnly, turned around and left quickly.
Soon, the figure disappeared on Official Road.
He wants to go to Yunyang Prefecture City God Temple to give a warning.
This time, the conspiracy between the Heavenly Saint Sect and the chieftain was discovered and must be reported as soon as possible. Maybe many people's lives can be saved.
Also, the corpse of the earth dragon was still on Azure Dragon Mountain. They buried it in the soil, and all traces of the gunpowder explosion were cleaned up.
Tian QiLang We need to hire someone as soon as possible to dig out the things and move them back.
"Senior Zhang, let's go."
Seeing the other party's figure disappear, Li Yan also looked solemn.
Yunyang Prefecture's war is inevitable.
In such a large-scale war, the power of individuals is almost negligible, and it is unknown how many lives will be lost.
And they are just a speck of dust...
"Set the ship!"
"Fast Boat Zhang" shouted, and suddenly the sails swelled, and the wooden boat rowed across the water, making ripples, and disappeared into the morning mist...
Near noon, the boat arrived at Wudang County.
It's time to say goodbye again.
The person leaving this time is Lin Yu, a fat young man from a wealthy family. He will take the overland route, pass through White Cloud Mountain Road, go to Luoyang, and then go to the capital.
"Everyone, thank you very much."
Lin Yu expressed his sincere thanks.
He has put on his Confucian robe again and is still wearing Ebony Glasses. He looks weak, honest and easy to bully.
Sha LiFei said happily, "Young Master Lin, please remember our experience in the world of martial arts. You only speak a few words when you meet people. When you hear a lesson, just understand what it means. Don't mess around with others."
He kept talking to each other along the way and had already found out all about Lin Yu. He was very polite to such potential customers.
Of course, I also passed on some experiences in the martial arts world.
This Lin Yu actually has a photographic memory. Sha LiFei only said those slang words twice, but the other party has already memorized them.
The same is Recommended Scholar, but compared to Yan Jiuling, this Lin Yu is more like a man from the world.
"Don't worry, I've remembered everything."
Lin Yu handed over his hand again and said with a smile, "If you come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future, you must come to the Lin Family as a guest, and I will welcome you in return."
"It's a long way to go, see you later!"
"See you later!"
Everyone clasped their hands and said goodbye, and the wooden boat gradually moved away.
Lin Yu stood on the shore and watched, watching the wooden boat disappear. Then he sighed and murmured, "Master said that it is normal for people in the world to get together and part ways. From now on, I am afraid there will be no chance to see each other again..."
After that, he carried his luggage and walked towards Official Road.
On the ship, after they were far away from the shore, "Fast Boat Zhang" walked into the cabin from the deck, raised his hands to Li Yan and said, "Young Hero Li, I was too busy to take care of it before. I have to discuss something with you."
Li Yan nodded, "Senior, please tell me."
"Fast Boat Zhang" took out a leather map. It was old and worn, but it was densely packed with mountains, rivers, terrain and rivers.
"Young Hero Li, do you want to take the high road or take the shortcut?"
"What's the point?"
"If we take the main road, we will go along the Han River, pass Xiangyang, and after a few days reach Hanyang Prefecture, then turn to the Yangtze River, turn back and pass Hong Lake, Dongting Lake, and then enter Jingzhou and Yichang."
"This is the Grain Transport Avenue. The river is wide and there are a lot of boat traffic. There are river temples along the way. Except for water bandits in dangerous areas, there is basically no danger, but it has to take a big detour."
"No matter how fast the trip is, it will still take more than ten days."
Li Yan frowned slightly, "What if we take a shortcut?"
"If we take a shortcut, we pass through Xiangyang and reach Jingmen. There are several rivers and we can go directly to Jingzhou."
As he spoke, "Fast Boat Zhang" sighed, "Although these rivers are complicated and have to pass through many valleys and dangerous roads, I am very familiar with them. I could walk them with my eyes closed in the past."
"But recently, something has happened in those rivers. Water ghosts and water monsters have appeared, and there are also some green forest strongmen who have taken advantage of the situation."
"I heard from Elder Han that you are powerful warlocks, so you should do this. But whether you want to take risks or not depends on your choice."
"Ten days?"
When Sha LiFei heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "We don't have time to stay on the ship for so long. We can't do anything."
What he said is correct.
Firearms need to be disposed of, Wang Dao Xuan needs to set up a mandala to worship as soon as possible Rampaging Soldiers, Li Yan needs to practice martial arts and techniques.
I stayed on the boat and couldn't do anything.
Li Yan also nodded and said, "Senior Zhang, just take the trail. If you encounter something on the road, we can just take it out."
"Just in time, I also received some tasks at City God Temple."
"Okay!"
"Fast Boat Zhang" showed a trace of joy in his eyes, and then respectfully clasped his fists and said, "In that case, I will no longer be polite."
"You can also see that I have been eating on water all year round. Although I know some taboos and encounter some dirty things, I still don't know how to deal with them."
"I would like to waive all shipping charges, and you can go wherever you want to go. But if you encounter those things, can you give me some advice?"
This was his little thought behind agreeing to this trip.
Although ordinary people don't have Divine Ability, when they encounter something, they don't just open their eyes and wait for death, but they have ways to deal with it.
This method is to avoid taboos.
Since ancient times, Daoism has not been for pure practice. It is their original profession to use divination to determine good and bad luck, avoid taboos, and avoid disasters.
From ancient Witch Ritual to today's Xuanmen.
From palace and state sacrifices to witches and gods in the countryside.
It's all the same.
He was able to earn the name "Fast Boat Zhang" not only because of his superb boating skills, but also because he had sent some charlatans to him, treated them with courtesy, and respectfully asked for advice, thus accumulating many methods.
When encountering danger, you can often avoid it as soon as possible.
He has already noticed the abilities of Li Yan and others. They can make Cao Gang elders treat each other with courtesy and Meishan Sect warlocks treat them with respect. How can they be ordinary?
If you learn a skill or two, it will be a skill that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Li Yan laughed dumbly, "Senior Zhang, you are very polite. The shipping fee will not be less than a penny. We are all poor people in the world, how can we take advantage of you."
"Don't worry, Daoist Wang is the best at this. He has a kind heart and will teach it to ordinary people. If you don't understand anything, just ask him for advice."
"Thank you!"
Old Man Zhang heard this, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
Once the plan is set, everyone will no longer delay.
The boatmen tightened the sails and used the power of the wind to sail across the river.
The scenery along both sides of the river is beautiful.
Li Yan occasionally comes to the deck to watch, but most of the time, he is in the ship cabin, studying with Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique and the magic book.
"Fast Boat Zhang" and his boatmen were also furious.
To them, this wide Han River is no different from a land road. They can clearly see where there are reefs and dangerous shoals.
The speed was very fast and we arrived in Xiangyang early the next morning.
The thousand-year-old ancient city of Xiangyang, known as the "Divine Land First City", is certainly extraordinary. Before it even gets close, hundreds of people are already passing by.
Although Li Yan was interested in traveling, medical treatment was more important. They had already spent too much time in Yunyang and were not prepared to stay longer.
Just replenish some supplies at the ferry and then leave.
However, as soon as he landed, Li Yan found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Many people looked sad and walked in a hurry.
Li Yan took one look, Sha LiFei understood immediately, and quickly came to a tea shed at the ferry.
After a few words, they hooked up with the ship owner and called each other brothers. After some questioning, they hurried back and said:
"Sure enough, something happened."
"There is news in the city that the mountain people of Jingchu Mountain Area, led by the Heavenly Saint Sect, have rebelled."
"Also, the chieftains in the southwest also responded and stopped making declarations to the big government. The matter was really big..."
