Li Yan never expected that he would be a Wudang disciple.
It's not that simple to be a decent person.
Their Precepts is extremely strict.
In some dramas, a certain plot often appears: a well-known and upright disciple falls in love with Demoness, breaks through the obstruction of the old stubborn, and finally the lovers get married.
But Li Yan hangs around in the world and knows that it's not that simple.
Quite simply, power without restraint will only bring destruction.
It is not that there are great sects that were very prosperous for a while, dominating one side by relying on their strength, but then quickly declined.
They have one thing in common, they all collapse from within.
Even the country is the same.
The destruction of empires often begins with the corruption of people's hearts.
As for Orthodox Xuan Gate, they are all ancient and have a long history. They see this kind of thing more clearly, so the rules are stricter.
Just like Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect.
Five Precepts and Ten Virtues, Zhengyiwujie, Ten Initial Truth Precepts, Ten Immortal Dao Precepts, Great Heavenly Immortal Precepts... all kinds of Precepts are too numerous to count.
"Eating Ge Nian" means using kung fu to do things like murder, robbery, kidnapping, and frame-up.
Longhua Fist Only orthodox Wudang disciples can practice.
It is really audacious to dare to do such a thing.
The Wudang disciple lying on the ground was a young man with a delicate face. He was called a broken leg by Li Yan. His face was ashamed, but also a little angry.
He gritted his teeth, stepped on the Nine Palaces, suddenly condensed his claws, and swayed like a dragon. He came to Li Yan in a few steps, flipped his wrist, and turned into a dragon claw to grab Li Yan's face.
This move is called Azure Dragon Emerges from Water. It is like a cold pond dragon jumping out of the water, carrying a strong wind with awe-inspiring momentum.
However, the opponent's move was a false move.
I saw this man's right paw reaching forward, while his left hand was quickly making secrets behind his back. At the same time, his right hand changed from claw to palm, swinging.
In the palm of his hand, Gangsha Energy suddenly gathered.
It actually made Li Yan feel dizzy.
Wudang Soul Absorption Palm!
It's First Gate again who doesn't pass on his unique skills.
The identity of this person is definitely not simple.
Li Yan originally wanted to try his skills, but now he lost the mood. He stepped back on one side and performed a secret seal at the same time. The light on his right palm crackled and flashed, and Yin Thunder Palm directly slapped it.
Snap!
The young man was slapped on the forehead and fainted.
Of course, Li Yan also kept his hand and did not beat the opponent to death.
After all, this matter always requires personal identification.
At this time, Lu San happened to arrive, fetched a rope, and worked together with Li Yan to tie up the man and carry Tian Residence back.
"People from Wudang?"
Sha LiFei was also a little strange, "I have reached Hidden Strength, and I know martial arts. If I don't go to Yunyang to protect the mountain, why do I come here to cause trouble?"
"Ask me later."
Li Yan shook his head slightly, then looked at Wang Dao Xuan, "Daoist Priest, have you found the reason?"
Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice, "I have figured it out."
"This method of hating victory is performed through the blood of our ancestors."
"If there is no accident, those floor tiles are all carved from the old bricks of Patriarch Tian ancestral graves. They are laid on the ground floor of the front hall and are equivalent to Turning a Yang Residence into a Yin Residence. Our ancestors are still being stepped on by their descendants, so naturally they will not be at peace."
"Using the power of blood to cast a spell is not fatal, but nightmares every night can make people uneasy, and they are extremely secretive."
"Wake up Patriarch Tian first."
Patriarch Tian has fallen into a nightmare at this moment and can hardly wake up.
But of course everyone had already made arrangements, and they directly opened up the loose stone steps and took out a few coffin bricks.
Calling softly, Patriarch Tian suddenly woke up.
He was breathing heavily, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he murmured, "I remember this nightmare clearly."
"I dreamed about the old grave. I was sleeping in the grave, and my grandfather kept staring at me."
After hearing what he said, everyone became more certain, and Wang Dao Xuan informed his guess.
"Dig my ancestral grave!"
Patriarch Tian As soon as he heard this, his face turned red and his eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "You damn little thief, it won't end this time!"
Patriarch Tian could endure being assassinated by a spell and took the opportunity to gain some benefits, but digging up people's ancestral graves was hard for him to accept.
After saying that, he looked at the unconscious Wudang disciple on the ground and said in shock, "Isn't this City God Temple's Yang ChongZi? Why did you do this?"
Li Yan asked, "Patriarch Tian knows this person?"
"Hmm."
Patriarch Tian said coldly, "Feng YuanZi, the Daoist priest of City God Temple in Hanyang, has a kind heart. Although he is not good at magic, he is good at Daoist medicine. He often treats the poor and does not cause trouble. He has a good reputation in the city."
"This Yang ChongZi is his disciple. He was originally the next generation City God Temple Zhu, but he got into a fight with his junior brother because of a woman and was expelled from City God Temple."
"Unexpectedly, you are still here to harm me. You must have surrendered yourself and taken refuge in Wu Jiu Cheng!"
Li Yan nodded and said, "Things will always come to light."
"I didn't expect that the other party would come to cause trouble tonight. Now that they have arrested someone, Wu Jiu Cheng might be in a hurry."
"Uncle Sha, you, brother Lu San and the Daoist priest will accompany Patriarch Tian to find those craftsmen. I will stay to interrogate this Yang ChongZi."
"Okay!"
Everyone also knew that time was tight and set off immediately.
Patriarch Tian As a wealthy person and living in this Three Religions and Nine Schools gathering, Hanyang City naturally hired servants to take care of the hospital.
He immediately called a dozen people, held lanterns, and rode horses with Wang Dao Xuan and others toward the south of the city.
After everyone left, Li Yan took a faint glance and said, "Since you're already awake, why bother pretending."
Sure enough, Yang ChongZi had already woken up. After hearing Li Yan's words, he slowly opened his eyes, sat on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing.
This is why Li Yan stays.
This person is a disciple of Wudang True Martial Palace. He was very alert just now, pretending to be unconscious and trying to get rid of the rope, but the others couldn't handle it if they stayed behind.
Seeing the other party's shameless expression, Li Yan knew that it would be useless to use his sect's reputation to question him.
He touched his chin and frowned, "I'm curious, what kind of woman is so charming that she can seduce the hearts of direct disciples of Wudang?"
"Which brothel is it? I'll go and visit it..."
"Shut up!"
Sure enough, this young man was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His hair suddenly exploded and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless person, don't slander someone's reputation!"
"Shameless?"
Li Yan laughed dumbly, his eyes full of disdain, "Because of a woman, I fell out with my fellow disciples, regardless of the reputation of my fellow disciples, and after I left, I still acted as a lackey, using evil techniques to harm others."
"Wudang Precepts, you are completely Gan Er clean, and what shameless things you say to me is a joke!"
Yang ChongZi was told that his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
"Don't tell?"
Li Yan said calmly, "It's okay if you don't say it. Anyway, the matter has been spread for a long time. I will know sooner or later. Tomorrow I will drag you on the streets and show you to the public. Come and hang around the door of City God Temple a few more times."
Judging from this person's performance, he already understands it.
Orthodox Xuan Gate's disciples have been trained since childhood. Although they have deep foundations and are far superior to ordinary charlatans, they still have weaknesses.
Staying in the mountains all year round is a disaster in the world of mortals.
Some people can wholeheartedly pursue the Tao, some can become successful through experience, but some people cannot pass the training of this mortal world.
The most difficult one is undoubtedly the love disaster.
Hearing Li Yan's words, the young man suddenly panicked and gritted his teeth and said, "Kill if you want. One person will do the work and the other will take responsibility. What I do has nothing to do with the True Martial Palace."
"One person does the work and the other takes responsibility? Hahaha..."
Li Yan was happy, shook his head and said, "In this world, unless you are alone, every action you take has a cause and effect. If you sow the cause, if the result does not repay you, it will also affect others."
"The ones who can't be affected are naturally the ones who don't care about you."
"You can say that you are a fool."
Yang ChongZi naturally understood what Li Yan meant. Although he gritted his teeth and remained silent, there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
There's still hope...
Li Yan saw that his psychological defense had been broken, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Because she is a woman, it doesn't matter. The young man admires her, but why do you want to help Wu Jiu Cheng harm others? Could it be that you are being threatened?"
"Wu Jiu Cheng?"
Yang ChongZi looked up, with some doubts in his eyes, "The person who threatened me is not Wu Jiu Cheng..."
"What?!"
Li Yan heard this, and his heart skipped a beat.
"We're almost there, there's the big house ahead."
Lanterns flicker on the dark streets.
Looking at a large house in front of him, Sha LiFei said in astonishment, "Good guy, are craftsmen so rich?"
Although this house is not built in an area where rich people gather, it is close to the South Gate Pier, so it is expensive and extremely beautifully built.
Just looking at the brick carvings below is extraordinary.
"Brother Sha, I don't know something."
Patriarch Tian shook his head and said, "There are countless craftsmen in this world, but among those who are good at building houses, the three Artisan Gang societies are the top ones."
"The first is Suzhou Xiangshan Gang, whose gardening skills are unparalleled in the world, and the imperial palace in the capital has participated in it. The second is Jiangzhe Dongyang Gang, and the third is Huizhou Gang, who all went to the capital to build the imperial palace."
"Huizhou Gang's disciples are good at building Huizhou architecture, and this Xu Family Troupe has integrated the charm of Chu into it. It is very popular. Rich families in the three cities come to them to build their houses."
At this moment, Lu San, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his hand.
"Stop!"
He stared at the house in front of him, pinched Mystical Gestures, and squeaked a few times. Suddenly, rats emerged from the hole on the side of the house and ran towards them.
Everyone lit up lanterns and took a look.
I saw those rats, their heads and bodies were covered in dirty blood!
Sha LiFei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Patriarch Tian, report it to the official, I'm afraid something big will happen."
Sure enough, when everyone opened the door, they saw corpses all over the ground, and there was no one alive in the entire house...
In the lobby of Hanyang County Government Office.
The torches were swaying, the atmosphere was solemn, and many people were sitting there.
"The person who threatened me was a man in black."
Yang ChongZi secretly glanced at Old Taoist on the left. Seeing his eyes filled with sadness, his heart became increasingly uncomfortable. He said, "My senior brother and I left City God Temple and followed Miss Yun to visit East Lake."
"That man suddenly appeared. His physical skills are extremely advanced. We are no match for him. Several fellow apprentices and Miss Yun were all captured."
"I have no choice but to obey orders."
In the lobby, County Magistrate Zhou Ran's eyes were cold, "What did that person ask you to do?"
Yang ChongZi lowered his head and said, "He asked me to threaten several warlocks who were looking at Feng Shui for the Tian family. He also asked me to contact a disciple of Xu Family Troupe to help him deliver some drawings."
As he said that, he quickly raised his head and said urgently, "I was forced to do so. I only injured people and forced those warlocks away, but I didn't kill anyone!"
"Shut up!"
The county magistrate Zhou Ran scolded, "As a disciple of a famous family, can't you tell that those sorcerers are afraid of the True Martial Palace's reputation?"
"Also, Lady Yun is problematic as soon as I hear it. He went to East Lake at night for no reason and was clearly with the thieves. What a fool!"
He was in a very bad mood.
Dragon Boat Festival was just around the corner, and with the war in the southwest, he was nervous every day, so he sent Yamen Runner to strictly investigate people coming and going and patrol everywhere.
Unexpectedly, something happened again.
Thinking of this, he continued the interrogation.
"What does that man look like?"
"I don't know. The clothes the man wore were magic weapons, so he didn't reveal any aura, but his accent sounded like someone from nearby..."
"How did you meet Lady Yun?"
"I was going up the mountain to collect medicine, and I encountered robbers who were killing people. Lady Yun said that he was from out of town, and his family members were all killed, leaving him helpless..."
"How on earth does this Lady Yun confuse you?"
"She, she is well-educated and a lady..."
"Okay, okay!"
The county magistrate Zhou Ran waved his hand and looked aside Old Taoist.
This Old Taoist, Daoist number Feng YuanZi, is exactly the Daoist who helped cure the common people when Li Yan went to City God Temple.
Seeing Magistrate Zhou's gaze, Old Taoist sighed, "Pindao had doubts before, but after checking, they were not poisoned."
"That Lady Yun, Pindao has seen him before. He talks well and has an amazing appearance. He is definitely not from an ordinary family."
"This is all my fault, if only I could be more patient..."
As he spoke, his voice was choked with sobs.
"Master, I can't help you!"
Yang ChongZi, who was kneeling on the ground, could no longer hold back, cried bitterly, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Pull it down!"
Magistrate Zhou ordered people to take Yang ChongZi down, then turned to look at Patriarch Tian and said in a deep voice, "Brother Tian, do you know why you are being targeted?"
Patriarch Tian was still a little confused at this moment, his mind was in a mess, "This... I really don't know."
Don't talk about him, even Li Yan frowned.
This fact is really weird.
According to what Yang ChongZi said, the black-clothed Human Path has a profound knowledge. If he had any requirements, he would rush directly into Tian Residence and grab Patriarch Tian to get out, but he chose this method.
Also, they had searched the house carefully and found nothing, not even anything down there.
Moreover, the people who built the house also had people from the other side.
What is the purpose of such Ku Xin plan?
All kinds of questions make people puzzled.
Magistrate Zhou in the hall was also thinking a lot at this moment, shaking his head and saying, "This case is complicated and involves Xuanmen. The county will hand it over to the Enforcement Hall tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yan, his eyes became much softer, he stroked his beard and smiled and said, "I have heard a little bit about Young Hero Li's stay in Yichang. Before the matter is found out, please protect Brother Tian to prevent him from being poisoned by thieves."
"That's natural."
Li Yan nodded and did not refuse.
On the way, they had already promised Patriarch Tian that they would keep the Tian family safe without the county magistrate having to say more.
After leaving the county government office, it was already dark.
Patriarch Tian sighed, "Who have I offended? Just tell me if you want money. Why bother to create such a big battle?"
Li Yan pondered and said, "This matter is not that simple, otherwise there would be no need to massacre Xu Family Troupe. Maybe it is related to them."
"That's all, Enforcement Hall is investigating this matter, and we can't get involved. Patriarch Tian don't go out during this period."
"Also, it's best to move your family into Tian Residence."
"Okay, just follow Young Hero Li's arrangements."
Everyone quickened their pace and soon returned to Tian Residence.
However, there was an old man standing at the door, wearing coarse cloth and a bamboo hat, with a wooden stick stuck randomly in his messy bun.
Under the bamboo hat, a pair of dead fish eyes are particularly eye-catching.
Li Yan was stunned when he saw it, cupped his fists slightly and said, "I have seen Senior Zhang."
He had a chance encounter with this old man.
Chang'an During the Shenquan Tournament, Zhang ShiTong was teased at the door. It was a master from the Wudang side branch named Zhang XiaoShan. He was a Pellet Strength master, and his Eight Trigrams Willow Leaf Cotton Palm was famous in the world.
"Do you know me?"
The old man Zhang XiaoShan waved his hand, "That's good, go in quickly and tell me clearly what happened last night."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is this matter related to senior?"
Zhang XiaoShan snorted and said with an ugly face:
"Yang ChongZi That little idiot is my grandson!"
