Chapter 309 Demon God Ran Tong
"Senior brother, this is it!"
Enforcement Hall's Martial Monk stopped and pointed forward.
Li Yan and Cheng Jue frowned when they heard this.
There is indeed a large secret room hidden underground in this Meat Stall Backyard. It was covered up using the Mystic Gate Array method, and pig waste was flushed all over the courtyard, making the stench so thick that pedestrians fled to avoid it.
Therefore, this group of people can hide until now.
The underground secret room is really quite large, and is divided into two areas. One is used for accommodation, with earthen bed and oil lamp, and is very simple.
One room is used for worship.
There is a two-meter-long altar table placed against the wall. On it are not only Five Offerings, incense Treasure Candle, but also densely piled cat skulls.
On the altar table, there is also a statue of a god. The upper body resembles that of a middle-aged man, with a white beard and black eyebrows. He is dressed in black and has bare feet underneath, revealing a pair of huge Chicken Claws.
At first glance, it's not Orthodox God.
And on the tablet, it clearly says "Venerable God Ran Tong's position".
"Which Mao Shen is this? Do you recognize it?"
Cheng Jue couldn't help but frown and asked.
Li Yan, who was next to him, looked dazed for a moment.
The Gouliao was hot and trembling, and thick fog filled the surrounding area.
Is this another mission?
Li Yan suddenly understood and quickened his pace through the fog.
Ahead, a black well suddenly appeared, covered with bloody oracle bones and wrapped with bronze chains. The thick blood was swirling and bubbling in it.
Another demonic Gods and Devils spirit is escaping!
Li Yan I still don't know what happened.
No wonder that Liu Niang can control so many Cat Ghost. He must have worshiped the evil god and practiced the secret method in <Longevity Immortal Treasury>.
He didn't recognize the evil god, so that was normal.
<Longevity Immortal Treasury> There are seventy-two evil spells in total, representing the seventy-two demon gods suppressed in Investiture of the Gods War.
However, during the Witchcraft Rebellion of Qin and Han Dynasties, when Mystical Arts Sect was wiped out by the imperial court, it had been scattered throughout Divine Land. Some of it has been lost, and some are still being passed down secretly.
The book given to him by Yu LinZi on Tai Bai Mountain is just the information collected by Orthodox Xuan Gate over the years. It only records the characteristics of evil methods and the quantity is incomplete.
It seems that a new demon has been discovered, and the demonic energy has already escaped from Luo Feng Mountain.
Li Yan looked solemn and placed his hands on the edge of the well.
Soon, blood surged, and an illusion appeared in front of him:
It is still a large square piece of sandstone, covered with large and small Blood-colored Talisman suppressions, and Bronze Coffin wrapped inside.
Inside Bronze Coffin, lies a Black Clothed Man, with huge Chicken Claws feet, white hair and black eyebrows, which is exactly the same as the statue outside.
What is even more shocking to Li Yan is that the opponent's limbs, pubic area, heart and forehead originally had bronze spikes piercing through them, symbolizing seven layers of seals.
However, now the five spikes on the opponent's heart, forehead, dantian, and even hands have been separated from the body.
This demon god has escaped from five demonic energies!
When all seven seals are released, the opponent can escape completely!
This situation can't help but make Li Yan's back feel cold.
At this moment, he seemed to be aware of it and looked at the demon's head, only to find that the other person's eyes had opened at some point and he was looking in his direction. The corners of his mouth were curved up, revealing a mouthful of fangs.
What's even weirder are the other person's eyes.
A layer of white membrane similar to the conjunctiva of a bird's eye opens and closes rapidly, as if blinking!
Li Yan was shocked, and the illusion in front of him immediately disappeared.
Above Black Well Blood Water, a scroll appeared. Just as he expected, it said the origin of this demon:
"This demon was originally an ancient mountain god, transformed by an ancient witch, and was named Ran Tong. He later transformed into a demon god, and was suppressed after the Battle of the Gods. He was suppressed in the Ming Dynasty when he invaded Wucheng Tiangong...
"Leave 'Spirit Communication Longevity Technique' in <Longevity Immortal Treasury>, falsely call it Orthodox God, steal incense, teach evil methods, and let the evil spirit escape..."
Line by line, Li Yan was frightened by the words.
This Demon God Ran Tong turned out to be the mountain god of the ancient "Classic of Mountains and Seas" era. For some reason, he participated in Investiture of the Gods War and was suppressed.
The language is unclear and seems to be concealing some information.
Of course, what's even more terrifying is the demon's characteristics.
He is good at the art of channeling ghosts and controlling all kinds of ghosts. Even the immortality method passed down was borrowed from the power of ghosts and turned into Old Yin Person.
"Old Yin Person" is an evil creature similar to a zombie, but unlike a zombie, Old Yin Person's body can still move normally and is even softer, resembling a kind of living dead.
Practicing this method can gradually restore youth, but when the yang life is exhausted, the yang energy in the body will disperse and the yin energy will gather. You can only live underground where Yin Energy gathers, without seeing the sun all day long.
As their Daoism increases, they will hide deeper.
One more thing, this Demon God Ran Tong is very good at hiding.
He will not only stay in remote areas and disguise himself as various Orthodox God mountain gods, but he will also change various images, teach ghost control methods, and confuse people's hearts to worship them.
Great Song Ghost Sect, There are many kinds of sacrifices to ghosts and gods.
But regardless of the "Leng Zheng God" in Ezhou or the "Ning Deng God" of Tokyo City at that time, they are just its incarnations.
This Demon God Ran Tong is its true body!
And the methods they teach are also different, just like Liu Niang, Cat Ghost is the main one.
By using this deceitful method, the opponent has actually escaped from five demonic auras, and he can escape by breaking two more seals.
The illusion completely disappeared, but only for a short moment.
As soon as Cheng Jue asked, Li Yan said solemnly, "This is Demon God Ran Tong, we are in big trouble!"
After saying that, he quickly turned around and rushed out of the yard.
It was raining lightly outside, and blood was flowing on the streets.
The surrounding areas have been intercepted by Yamen Runners. The common people poked their heads in to check, whispering to each other, with lingering fears.
Li Yan quickly pinched Mystical Gestures, took a deep breath, then looked in all directions, and said urgently to Cheng Yuan who was chasing him:
"Quickly, let people close the city gate and conduct a strict search!"
"Brother Lu brother, send out all the animals to investigate!"
"We were all deceived..."
In less than half a stick of incense, all the city gates in Wuchang were closed. Facing the wolf-like soldiers, the people were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to ask more questions, so they had to ask privately.
In the woods near the city gate, a scholar was watching all this silently. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his conjunctiva turned white, he turned around and disappeared into the dense forest...
Within Baotong Chan Temple, Great Hero Hall.
"Everyone has been deceived, and Demoness Liu Niang is no exception..."
"She thought she was successful in practicing magic, but in fact it was because of a demonic energy attached to her that she could control so many Cat Ghost..."
"She thought she could escape, but in fact it was the influence of the demonic energy that caused her to release Cat Ghost to distract our attention. The demonic energy left through the bodies of the onlookers..."
"I originally thought that Zhao Changsheng arranged for Liu Niang to preside over this disaster. In fact, it was this demon who was secretly controlling..."
Baotong Chan Temple Several eminent monks are here.
Listening to Li Yan's words, their eyes were full of horror.
Even Li Yan himself felt chills running down his spine.
If you think about it carefully, from the moment they discovered Liu Niang, the other party had already thought of an evacuation method. Just like a gecko with its tail cut off, no matter how happy Liu Niang was, it was just a twisted tail.
If it weren't for Lu San's secret method, I'm afraid that when the demonic energy left, Liu Niang would be counterattacked by Cat Ghost and die, which would also divert their attention.
Mingzhu host frowned, "How can this devil be so cunning?"
To be honest, what Li Yan said was so unbelievable that he couldn't even believe it.
"More cunning than imagined!"
Li Yan shook his head in a deep voice and said, "Now that I think about it, the other party could obviously use other methods to silence him, but he chose to use Cat Ghost evil magic to kill Wu Jiu Cheng just to make me focus on the brothel."
"If Non-Self Lu San brothers had secret methods, who would have thought that Liu Niang and the devilish energy would be hiding in that filthy place!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Niang is hiding in the city, and must be cooperating inside and outside to do a big thing and destroy the Feng Shui layout."
Cheng Jue, who had just entered the hall next to him, also clasped his hands together and said, "Reporting to the host, Young Hero Li's guess is correct."
"According to the confessions of those scum, there are three Miao People under Liu Niang. They are all dressed as hunters. They should be disciples of the Meishan Dharma Sect. They left secretly yesterday and don't know what they were going to do."
"In addition, there are cargo ships from Xiangyang that have delivered a large amount of gunpowder. They are responsible for transporting it to the mountains. There are also people there to help. I don't know where it was transported..."
When one of the old monks heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "The devil is cunning in nature. He often confuses people and confuses yin and yang. However, the way he follows is biased and has its weaknesses."
"Donor Li is Living Underworld Messenger, do you know?"
Li Yan nodded and said, "This Demon God Ran Tong is good at controlling ghosts, but its own weaknesses are also very obvious. It needs the help of the host's body to cause trouble, and it cannot see the bright and scorching sun. It must hide underground at dawn."
"He escaped in a hurry this time, and we got the statue. Daoism has Demon Subduing Altar. I wonder if Buddhism has a similar method?"
The demonic path is raging, and Orthodox Xuan Gate can suppress it. Naturally, there are ways, and various large-scale demon-conquering scientific instruments are prepared for it.
Just like the Three Gorges Water Monster, even if it sneaks into the bottom of the river, Bamboo Mountain Sect can still kill it with the help of rituals.
This method is usually inseparable from the medium.
And that statue is often possessed by demonic energy, which is the opponent's weakness.
The old monk nodded and said, "It is natural for Buddhism to suppress this place. The water monster suppressed by Mingzhu, Xingfu Temple Shadowless Pagoda has been destroyed, and it happens to be vacant. I personally presided over the rituals and suppressed this monster."
"Donor Li, since this demon escaped from the underworld, I'm afraid you will need to take action when the time comes."
Li Yan quickly handed over his hand, "Thank you, Master Tong Xuan."
He told this matter, firstly, to make the ghost sect's conspiracy known to the world, and secondly, to borrow the power of Buddhism.
After all, with his strength, it is still difficult to capture the demonic energy. Even if he can summon a divine general, he still has to be able to find the location of the demonic energy.
The situation was urgent, Baotong Chan Temple naturally did not dare to delay, and soon a large number of monks left the temple with various magical instruments...
Xingfu Temple is located at the foothills of the east end of Hongshan Mountain.
Baotong Chan Temple is also in Hongshan, but it is located at the southern foot. Therefore, within half an hour of walking, they saw a temple hidden in the mountains.
Li Yan once heard Wang Dao Xuan say that no matter whether Daoist temples are built, they all pay attention to Feng Shui, but each one is different.
The site selection of Daoist temples all follows the "Four Guardian Beasts" pattern, but sometimes it transcends Feng Shui and pays attention to famous mountains and rivers to hide the gods within, which is the so-called Blessed Grotto-Heavens.
Divine Land The three religions merged, and Buddhism also absorbed similar characteristics, but in addition to Four Guardian Beasts, it was also named after Buddhism Vajra Bodhisattva King Ming and others.
The temple in front of us is the same, hidden among the mountains and forests, with tall and lush trees. If we turn around, we can only see a pagoda peeking out.
As Chengyuan walked, he introduced, "This Xingfu Temple was built in the early years of Emperor Wen of Sui Ren Shou. It was later destroyed by war and rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty."
"A few years ago, the water monster in the Yangtze River caused trouble and stirred up trouble. Even after being suppressed and killed, his soul was still restless, so he was suppressed under the tower."
The leader of the old monk is named Tong Xuan. Li Yan can't smell the smell on his body at all. He is already a master of Pellet Strength. He is also proficient in Buddhism, which is one of the foundations of Baotong Chan Temple.
Hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said, "This tower was built in the Southern Song Dynasty year to deal with the demons of the ghost sect. It is also regarded as the reincarnation of cause and effect."
Xingfu Temple Outside, a monk had already received the news, opened the door, and came out to greet him.
The monks didn't waste any time and went straight into the temple and came to a towering pagoda.
The pagoda in front of you has only four floors, all made of stones. It is octagonal in plan, and the tower stands on the Xumizuo and Yanglianzuo. It has a wooden structure with cornices and brackets, and bells are hung.
On the pagoda, there are also carvings of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, King of Heaven, Hercules, etc., which look very exquisite.
I have also heard of this "Shadowless Pagoda" Li Yan. It is said that during the summer solstice every year, there is no shadow on the tower, which is also a scene in Wuchang.
Unexpectedly, it can also be used to suppress demons.
There is also a well under the tower, with the sound of gurgling water inside. Next to it stands a stone tablet that reads "Build the tower to stabilize the country."
Cheng Yuan was curious about Li Yan, so he explained, "There is Water Vein below this well, which leads directly to the Yangtze River. If there are water monsters in the Turning River, you can do things to suppress them here."
Li Yan heard this and praised, "What a good method!"
He could smell that the pagoda had a strong scent of sandalwood, and it was integrated with the surrounding earth veins Innate Rigid Qi. It was considered one of Wuchang's town objects.
It is truly extraordinary that Zen Buddhism can stand on this ground.
Of course, these Buddhist disciples didn't care about the nonsense and quickly surrounded the pagoda and arranged the mandala.
At the same time, several monks opened the scriptures at the entrance of the pagoda and lifted out a wooden box similar to a treasure letter.
Inside the box, there was a withered skeleton hidden, which looked like a snake or fish, but had a pair of human hand bones with all five fingers, which was very strange.
The withered bones had already decayed, and the last trace of Yin Energy dissipated instantly after being carried out of the pagoda.
Later, the monks wrapped the statue of Demon God Ran Tong with Prayer Flag, nailed Vajra Pestle around it, and carried it into the pagoda.
Rumble!
As the stone door of the pagoda was closed, the monks immediately recited scriptures and sounded the wooden fish under the command of Master Tong Xuan.
Night had fallen by this time.
The sound of wooden fish, the scent of incense, and the chanting of sutras echoed in the temple, seeming to be floating in the air.
Li Yan also sat cross-legged, clutching the ultimatum tightly.
As long as the demonic energy is attracted, Netherworld Divine General can be summoned immediately...
Wu Prefecture City Outside, in the mountains and forests.
Meishan Three Brothers flies through the dense forest.
What happened in the city had been spread, and their eyes were filled with anxiety as they gathered at the place Liu Niang had agreed on in advance.
To be honest, they only hold on to a glimmer of hope.
Arriving outside a ruined temple in the forest, the three of them were immediately overjoyed.
Under the moonlight, I saw a scholar standing with a pale face, and the surrounding Yin Energy turned into black mist, with teeth and claws...
