Chapter 240 Ancient Tombs in the Temple
Soon, the two of them came to the corner of the temple.
Li Yan winked, Sha LiFei immediately pulled out the long knife, walked slowly along the corner, bent down and walked towards the temple gate.
But Li Yan bent his legs, Hidden Strength exploded, jumped up high, pressed his left hand on the courtyard wall, and jumped onto the roof.
In the drizzle, he pinched Mystical Gestures with his hand and took a deep sniff.
The situation inside the temple suddenly became clear.
The two monks were still preparing in the kitchen.
It's noon now, and even Li Yan himself is a little hungry, let alone those thieves working in the backyard.
The meals prepared were all rice, noodles, porridge and vegetables from the temple. It was obvious that these people came in a hurry and did not even bring dry food.
Li Yan didn't talk nonsense. He kept his body short and walked quickly on the roof. He took out two throwing knives from his waist and jumped off the roof.
When the man was in mid-air, he shook his hand and threw the flying knife out.
He used Hidden Strength, and the power of the flying knife was extremely amazing. With the addition of Olfactory Mystical Power, it was no weaker than some hidden weapon masters.
Phew!
The flying knife tore through the rain curtain and penetrated into the kitchen.
When Li Yan landed, the two thieves inside also fell down with a thud, and were shot directly into their heads by flying knives, causing their brains to splash everywhere.
He didn't bother to pay attention, and quickly came to the door of the temple, gently lifted the door bolt, and Sha LiFei slipped in along the crack of the door.
The two of them winked and immediately went to the backyard.
Seeing the well, Li Yan made a gesture of shooting his head, and then pointed to the side.
Sha LiFei suddenly understood, and immediately ran to the crack in the corner. After squatting down, he first put the knife aside, and then took out the musket and bullet bag wrapped in oil paper from his arms.
Tear open the powder bag, pour a little into the gunpowder cabin, stuff the rest into the barrel, pull out the purge bar, and stuff the gunpowder pellets tightly...
A series of actions, extremely skilled.
Then, I waited there with peace of mind.
This is a life-and-death fight. It's not clear whether the opponent has any masters, so naturally use the muskets if you can.
Sha LiFei is equivalent to a sniper.
This is also the method of cooperation they came up with on the way.
As for Li Yan, he came to the wellhead and squatted down, pulling the well rope above and shaking it back and forth.
Ring ring ring!
There was a faint ringing sound from below.
Soon, the well rope became taut and vibrated continuously.
It was the same man just now, panting and climbing up, and directly cursed, "Just use the well rope to send him down, and Laozi..."
Snap!
Before he finished speaking, Li Yan immediately stood up, stretched out his hand, pinched the other person's neck, picked him up and threw him to the ground.
He used clever force to directly press the opponent's jaw and threw him to the ground. The man had already passed out.
Li Yan dragged the person to the corner.
Sha LiFei immediately stepped forward, pulled the rope next to him, tied him up, and stuffed his mouth tightly with a rag.
The two of them cooperated and their movements were very neat.
Then, Li Yan returned to the well, pinched Mystical Gestures with his hand, took a deep breath, and suddenly frowned.
It turns out that the secret passage below is on the well wall, less than half a foot from the water surface in the well, and leads diagonally to the ground.
From the looks of it, it's quite deep.
Moreover, the entrance of the cave is so narrow that only one person is allowed to pass through.
Just when Li Yan was thinking about countermeasures, a sudden change occurred below.
Swish swish!
From the entrance of the cave, a large number of centipedes poured out like a tide.
Each of these centipedes is a palm long, with shiny black bodies and a pungent fishy smell, and they crawl up quickly along the well wall.
He was so fast that he climbed to the edge of the well almost instantly.
Another bugger?
Li Yan frowned and quickly retreated. At the same time, he activated Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Sword Tassel to drive away the poisonous insects with fierce energy.
He already had experience dealing with this kind of thing.
If Cloud Thunder Divine Drum is there, you can use drums to shock it to death, or use Demon Gourd to restrain it.
Other methods are thankless.
Of course, the most direct solution is to kill the caster. Then the poisonous insects will lose their command and become chaotic.
If nothing unexpected happened, the poisonous insect would just force him back.
Sure enough, after the poisonous insects emerged, a figure suddenly shot out from the hole below.
The opponent was very skilled and didn't even bother to use the well rope to climb. Instead, he turned around in mid-air, used left and right strength on the slippery well wall, and then jumped out.
Bang!
There was a gunshot and the smell of gunpowder smoke spread everywhere.
The figure staggered and almost fell back into the well. He barely turned over in the air and squatted beside the well. At the same time, he roared, "Firearms, who are you?!"
But he was a man with scars all over his face. His black robe was stained with mud. He was holding his lower abdomen and his face was filled with resentment.
He lay down next to the well and just used the well to block the shooting route.
Sha LiFei in the distance reloaded quickly and unhurriedly.
As for Li Yan, he frowned.
This man is a Hidden Strength expert, not someone who controls poisonous insects. Centipedes are still crawling around him, but he is frightened by Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin and dare not approach.
He didn't talk nonsense, he held a sword in his arms and put strength under his feet.
The man was shot in the abdomen. Although it was not fatal, the pain was unbearable. His eyes flashed, and Li Yan appeared in front of him.
He was shocked and pale, and just when he was about to take action, he received a heavy blow on his head, his eyes went black and he fainted.
At the same time, poisonous centipedes also began to run around the yard.
"Damn it!"
Sha LiFei cursed in the distance, jumped up, stepped on the stone wheel next to the woodshed, and jumped to the roof of the house.
Flintlock Firearm is most afraid of rain and moisture.
Sha LiFei had no choice but to hold up the oil-paper umbrella and continue to assume a shooting posture.
Li Yan came to the well and took out two black pills from his waist.
This thing is called Thunder Fire Pill. Once thrown out, it can erupt with violent flashes and thick smoke. He bought it from the Enforcement Hall.
At times like this, it comes in handy.
After taking out the fire stick and lighting it, Li Yan reached out and flicked it, and two Thunder Fire Pill shot into the hole and quickly rolled down the slope.
Crackling!
There was a violent flash of light and thick smoke in the cave.
"Ah! My eyes!"
There was a huge chaos inside, with screams and curses heard.
They were digging a grave below, lighting a few candles, but suddenly they encountered a bright light, which blinded many people.
Not only that, it was a confined space inside, the air was turbid and thin, and the acrid thick smoke coming out of Thunder Fire Pill was immediately unbearable for them, and they scrambled to crawl out.
The warlock who controlled the poisonous insects obviously also suffered.
The spell was interrupted, and the centipedes in the courtyard suddenly became confused. Some were scurrying around, while others were crawling back along the well.
These poisonous attacks lost control, became ferocious and violent, and immediately crawled onto the bodies of the few people who had just emerged.
"Ah!"
"Ba Laosan, what are you doing?!"
Those people were stung and screamed repeatedly, falling into the water and flopping around.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the hole.
When an old man with a muddy face came out, he suddenly swung the flying knife out of his hand.
With a puff, it penetrated directly into the back of the opponent's head.
This person is the warlock who controls poisonous insects.
Once the warlock died, the poisonous centipede was completely free of restraint.
Some continued to sting and bite randomly in the well, while others quickly fled and disappeared under the surrounding courtyard walls and vegetable gardens.
These ghost cult thieves are not weak.
A Hidden Strength expert, a warlock who is good at controlling insects, plus a bunch of desperadoes, they can be called an elite team.
Unfortunately, they encountered Li Yan.
Spells, Divine Ability, weapons, all aspects are restrained, and it is difficult to resist from the beginning to the end.
Li Yan didn't waste any time, and directly broke off the scarred man's hands and feet, causing him to wake up again from the severe pain.
"Ah! I love you..."
Snap! Snap!
Before he could even finish the scolding, Li Yan slapped him from left to right, so hard that his eyes were filled with stars, his mouth was filled with blood, and several of his teeth were knocked out.
"Who are you?"
Li Yan asked with a cold face.
"Damn it, you can kill me or chop me into pieces!"
The scarred man's mouth was full of blood, his eyes were gleaming fiercely, and he showed no fear.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly stretched out his left hand.
Crash... Soul Hooking Chain roared out and directly restrained the man Divine Soul, but did not pull away.
The scarred man froze and his pupils lost focus.
Li Yan was not in a hurry and waited for a few breaths.
After being restrained by Soul Hooking Chain, although Divine Soul will not die physically, Divine Soul will be separated from the physical body, and there will be a terrifying feeling of falling into the Nine Netherland.
Between life and death, there is great terror.
This feeling is enough to scare most people to death.
Sure enough, after he took back Soul Hooking Chain, the man's eyes gradually became bright again, and he was breathing heavily, with fear on his face.
"You... what did you do to me?"
Li Yan smiled slightly, and the man's eyes were particularly sinister, "I can guarantee that if you stop talking nonsense, you will know what 'can't die' means!"
"Tell me, who are you?"
The man's eyes were filled with uncertainty, and he gritted his teeth and said, "ChaoShan Society Second Incense Leader Guo Peng."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
Li Yan Without saying anything, Soul Hooking Chain poked his head out again.
This time, when the man regained consciousness, he had already collapsed, "What on earth do you want to do? If you can, kill Laozi!"
Li Yan said coldly, "What is your position in the ghost sect?"
When the scar-faced man heard this, his eyes suddenly became a little panicked, and his expression was uncertain. Seeing that Li Yan was about to take action again, he quickly said:
"Don't, don't tell me!"
"I am Attendant Altar."
"What position is this?"
"I don't know much about this. I only know that the religion is divided into altars. There are priests, refiners, Attendant Altar, and handymen in each altar. They can complete a sacrifice alone."
"The priests are responsible for the organization, the refiners are all warlocks and are responsible for opening the altar, Attendant Altar is responsible for arresting people for sacrifice, guarding, and protecting the altar, and the handymen are responsible for doing odd jobs."
"As for what to do and who is on top, only the priest knows these things. If we ask more, we will be executed."
Li Yan said coldly, "What are the benefits of killing people to sacrifice to ghosts? What makes you so mad?"
The scar-faced man Guo Peng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "The villain was seriously ill and was cured by a human sacrifice. They also promised to teach me the magic of immortality and said that I would be immortal in the future."
"Immortal?"
Li Yan sneered, but there was no surprise in his heart.
Power, wealth, beauty, strength...
In order to satisfy their desires, some people will always take desperate risks.
Even if you can endure these, immortality is enough to drive people crazy. Since ancient times, emperors, generals, ministers, and master magicians, countless people have gone to war over this.
Li Yan said nothing nonsense and continued the interrogation.
"Who are the priests and refiners?"
"There is only one local priest, Lu Yuan, the leader of our ChaoShan Society gang. The refiner and Attendant Altar form a team in twos. The Ba Lang who died below was the refiner who cooperated with me."
"What are you digging down there?"
"Chu Tomb, Lu Yuan asked us to find a piece of jade. We just dug it up and put it on Master Ba Lang..."
Just as he was talking, the scar-faced man suddenly froze up.
He stared blankly behind Li Yan, his eyes full of fear.
Li Yan frowned and turned around suddenly.
There was nothing behind, only the drizzle falling on the leaves of the vegetable garden, making a rustling sound.
Even with Olfactory Mystical Power, I can't smell any odor.
However, the man with the scarred face seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. He was trembling all over, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead and his teeth chattering.
"What did you see?!"
Li Yan picked up his collar and asked fiercely.
However, this man couldn't speak at all, his whole body was stiff, his breathing stopped, his back made a "whoosh" sound, and his lips immediately turned blue.
Li Yan I could smell it. There was suddenly a Yin Energy on the left side of this man's heart, which was cold and bloody.
It's a spell!
Li Yan quickly took out Divine Tiger Token and prepared to cast the protective spell.
Northern Emperor Body Protection Incantation, not only for itself, but also for the surrounding three feet within the protection range.
However, it's already too late.
Poof!
Blood suddenly spurted out from the man's mouth, and there was no movement at all.
The weird Yin Energy also quickly dissipated.
Li Yan's eyes were slightly cold, he raised the knife and slashed open the man's chest. The scene inside made his pupils shrink.
The man's heart had already stopped beating.
And on the heart, there is a black claw mark, which is long and sharp, and has only four fingers, not like a human hand at all.
The heart was also pinched and twisted.
What a powerful spell!
Li Yan secretly thought something was wrong, so he jumped up and rushed towards the other tied prisoner.
However, it's still too late.
The man's face was also livid, his eyes were full of fear, he was staring straight ahead, and he was completely out of breath.
When the chest was cut open, there were also black claw marks on the heart.
Sha LiFei also jumped from the beam. Seeing this, he took a deep breath and asked, "What kind of evil method is this?"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "These idiots were already cursed when they joined the ghost sect, and they don't even know it yet."
"The Ghost Cult has noticed that it is no longer safe here. Let me get something and we will leave immediately."
After that, he walked to the well in three or two steps and jumped into it.
While in mid-air, Li Yan held the well rope between his legs and slid into the well with his head down and his feet up, like a scorpion climbing up the wall upside down.
When he was almost close to the water, his legs exerted force and he suddenly stopped.
Sure enough, all the people in the water were dead.
Some were stung by poisonous centipedes, while others, like the two above, had fearful eyes, livid lips, and were cursed to death.
The insect warlock had also become stiff.
Li Yan smelled it gently, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He took off the leather bag from his waist and took out a piece of jade from it.
This jade is in the shape of a flat and short square column, with a round inside and a square outside. It is old, has some mottled spots, and appears blood red.
Jade Cong!
Li Yan happens to know this thing.
In ancient times, the jade cong, along with bi, Gui, Zhang, Huang and Hu, were six kinds of jade ritual vessels, called the "six auspicious", which were specially used to worship the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Strangely, he didn't smell Gangsha Energy from above.
What does the Ghost Cult want to do with this thing?
Li Yan put away the blood-colored jade cong, looked at the dark hole, swung the rope from his feet, and used his strength to get into it.
The entrance of the cave slopes downward for about ten meters.
The inside is a confined space, because the previous Thunder Fire Pill was still filled with acrid and thick smoke, and the ground had already accumulated water.
After Li Yan landed, he immediately held on to Divine Tiger Token, pinched with his hands and stepped with his feet.
In an instant, Yin Wind appeared all around.
The billowing smoke was blown out of the hole.
After the air became slightly fresher, Li Yan picked up a candle from the ground and lit it with a fire stick.
A strange tomb suddenly appeared in front of you...
There are still two updates today
