Tick tock, tick tock...
The sound of drool dripping was extremely obvious.
The possessed Yamen Runner stood there, stiff, tiptoeing, and hunched over in a weird posture.
This is not a human gesture at all, more like some kind of animal.
Especially that mouth, which could never be closed, and drool kept dripping.
Li Yan's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but said:
"Senior, this is your first time?"
Under his orders, only one Yamen Runner was sent to the Chamber of Commerce named Lu San. No one around him dared to act rashly.
He would not anger this Giant Turtle Demon foolishly.
He has seen the true form of this thing. It is a completely different level of existence. The original Liu Gang is probably no match for it.
Once the enemy is alerted and explodes, I don't know how many people will die.
To deal with it, unless the Orthodox Church uses a large altar.
But this person seems to be possessed for the first time, and he has not been able to control his body for a long time, looking like a fool.
Upon hearing Li Yan's inquiry, Giant Turtle Demon slowly raised his head, his eyes were cold, his mouth was crooked, and he continued to drool.
Li Yan was helpless and simply stopped asking any more questions.
It seemed that this person didn't want to talk to him at all.
The Yamen Runners next to them were already trembling with fear. If Li Yan hadn't specifically warned them, they would have turned around and disappeared.
Fortunately, Lu San hurried over not long after. Seeing the scene, he immediately became vigilant and asked, "What's going on?"
Yamen Runner doesn't understand this, so naturally he didn't explain it clearly.
Li Yan whispered, "The one in the lake."
Lu San understood instantly. He took a step forward and bowed his hands respectfully, muttering various tongue-licking sounds in his mouth. He clearly used Superior Language.
Giant Turtle Demon also responded with Superior Language, which was obviously much smoother than talking in human language, except that he was snoring like he had a mouthful of thick phlegm.
On both sides, you said something and I said something, and they continued talking for a long time.
Then, Lu San turned his head, looked at those Yamen Runner, and said in a deep voice, "You guys step away first, remember, don't make trouble for others."
Yamen Runner people retreated from the alley one after another as if they had received an amnesty.
Lu San then looked at Li Yan and said, "This senior, whose name is Giant Turtle Master, would like to ask us for help to do something."
"What's the matter?"
"Find someone to help him detoxify and heal his injuries."
"What?"
Li Yan was a little surprised, "Who else can hurt her?"
He remembered that Giant Turtle Demon had once entered a dream to guide Lu San in an illusion, and transformed into Old Woman. She should be a female.
He has seen the size of Giant Turtle Demon before. The scales are as strong as fine iron and extremely thick. It is estimated that a new type of musket can only break a small opening.
What's more, this Demon Arts method is also extremely amazing.
It's unimaginable that someone would get hurt.
"Not a human being."
Lu San said, "There is a powerful guy hiding in East Lake, his name is East Lake Old Ancestor. He is a sworn enemy of this senior. Both sides fight hard, each suffering damage."
"East Lake Old Ancestor used the very powerful Gu Arts. This senior now relies on the cold spring water in Water Vein below to suppress it. If it is not cleared early, Gu worms will be in big trouble when it resumes operation over there."
"Cold spring water?"
Li Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Ask her, what happened to Overlord's Well?"
Lu San nodded, turned around and muttered again.
"It has something to do with that old demon from East Lake."
After Lu San asked, he said, "That East Lake Old Ancestor is a Toad Demon. It has been practiced for a long time and has become very powerful. It likes to dig holes in the underground Water Vein, which often causes Water Vein to change its path."
"There used to be a water monster in the river near Wu Prefecture City. He was equally profound. He often teamed up with East Lake Old Ancestor to go to Jiangbei to snatch the treasure guarded by this senior."
"Later, the water monster made trouble and devoured boatmen on the river, and was suppressed and killed by Baotong Chan Temple. Senior Giant Turtle Master just happened to get the treasure, so he came to take revenge. Unexpectedly, East Lake Old Ancestor was also very powerful Gu worms."
"That's it."
Li Yan heard it and thought it was absurd and interesting.
Nowadays, the Divine Land human race is the main one, but in the vast barren mountains and swamps, there are also different kinds of practice. Some avoid the crowd, and some go around doing harm and making enemies of people.
Orthodoxy and Dharma have methods for dealing with these monsters.
I originally thought that they lived on separate sides, but I didn't expect that they also had grudges and grudges and were secretly fighting with each other.
Lu San then whispered, "Senior Giant Turtle Master can't give you much reward, but I have practiced <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> and I can sign a covenant with her to help each other."
"Oh?"
Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Promise her, I will find someone tonight, and ask her to get some cold spring water, and then restore the well water..."
This Giant Turtle Demon has extraordinary strength, and is not the kind of monster that causes harm and causes trouble everywhere. By forming an alliance with it, it can become the chassis of the team when necessary.
He has not forgotten that according to what <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> said, the reason why the ancient witch sect is powerful is not only because it controls the power of human sacrifices, but also because it has reached an alliance with these mountain gods and spirits.
In today's world, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lu San was also a little excited in his eyes, and he quickly communicated with Giant Turtle Master.
Phew~
Soon, a line of black smoke spurted out from the Yamen Runner mouth, turned a corner in the air, and quickly submerged into the well.
Yamen Runner's body went limp and collapsed on the ground. After slowly waking up, his eyes were filled with confusion and he looked around at a loss.
Li Yan quickly stepped forward to comfort him, then called Yamen Runner who was waiting outside, and asked them to buy a dozen gourds and throw them all into the well.
Wow!
Soon, the muddy water in the well surged, and all the gourds were sucked into it. Not long after, they were thrown out of the well mouth by the strong current.
Li Yan caught them one by one, feeling cold to the bone.
He couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone, this matter has been solved. Because the underground waterway is connected to the East Lake, the silt from the river bottom is pouring into the waterway, and the well water will start to be clear tomorrow."
What happened to Water Vein underground was as difficult as climbing to the sky for them, but for the huge Giant Turtle Master, it was just a piece of cake. All they had to do was seal the waterway leading to the East Lake.
Li Yan said, and took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his arms, "Thank you for your hard work tonight, I still have something to do, let me go have a drink to calm down the shock."
"This... how is this so embarrassing?"
"Take it, my brother, you're welcome. Also, this brother had better go buy some medicine to replenish qi and blood, get some sunshine during the day, and just pretend that what happened tonight never happened."
"Thank you Young Hero Li."
Yamen Runner looked at each other and took the banknotes.
They know that this is hush money.
But firstly, the matter can be solved, and secondly, this Young Hero Li has a good relationship with Baotong Chan Temple, so I'm afraid he will offend others if he talks about it.
Having been officials all year round, they know exactly when to shut up.
After settling the matter, Li Yan and Lu San left in a hurry.
Rumble!
Not long after they left, the ground nearby trembled, and large volumes of muddy water surged in the well.
The well water is still turbid, but the fishy smell has disappeared...
While the city gate was not closed, Li Yan and Lu San rode directly away from Wu Prefecture City, crossed the crossing, and headed towards a river outside the city.
Under the moonlight, the two galloped on horseback, and there was no one around.
Not long after, they arrived at the river.
This river is connected to the Yangtze River. According to the agreement, Giant Turtle Master will enter the Yangtze River first and then come to this river to receive treatment.
After Li Yan dismounted, he took out a wooden box directly from his arms, and there was half a mummy of Fei Yi inside.
Lu San looked a little distressed, "Are you going to use them all?"
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Old Sha and I have collected information. The most famous Daoist doctor in the three cities of Wuchang is a descendant of 'Northern Song Dynasty Medicine King' Pang Anshi. He is arrogant and difficult to deal with. He is now a medical officer in the palace."
"Now that the palace has closed, even if we can invite him, he may not be able to get this Gu Arts. He can only use Fei Yi."
"Don't worry, the old ones won't go away, and the new ones won't come. As long as we can reach a covenant, it's better than anything else..."
While he was talking, the waves on the water surface suddenly surged in the distance.
Thick fog suddenly rose from the water, and a huge black shadow slowly rose, it was Giant Alligator.
A giant monster of this level is covered in Yin Energy, and it moves in the water. It is often accompanied by water mist when it appears, which is also a major feature.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, Giant Alligator slowly climbed up the shore, like a black locomotive. Just lying there, there was an oppressive atmosphere.
"I've met senior."
Li Yan The two of them cupped their hands and then cautiously got closer to check.
It seemed that because of Lu San, Giant Turtle Master was very relieved of them and lay there quietly, letting them check it out.
After getting closer, Lu San raised the torch. Their eyes widened at the same time, and they felt panicked all over.
Between the Giant Alligator's thick scales, many earthworm-sized fleshy tentacles were slowly squirming, as if they had grown a layer of down.
This thing is specifically parasitic in the gaps between the scales. As the Lu San torch approaches, it quickly shrinks into the skin and flesh in the gaps between the scales like a snail.
It looks like the scales are intact, but in fact the skin underneath is riddled with holes.
"What an amazing Gu worms!"
Li Yan looked solemn. Fortunately, he was decisive. With this kind of thing and Giant Turtle Master's huge size, it is estimated that even calling in a Daoist doctor would not be able to solve the problem.
Without any hesitation, he took out the remaining half of Fei Yi, asked Giant Turtle Master to open his big mouth, and threw it in.
"Ho--!"
Giant Alligator reacted immediately after swallowing it. He kept growling in his mouth and seemed to be in extreme pain, and his body kept twisting.
Swish swish!
The densely packed Gu worms all emerged from its scales, about half a foot long, crazily twisted, and terrifying to look at.
However, even if Fei Yi is swallowed, these Gu worms are unwilling to leave Giant Turtle Master's body, and there is still a small section hanging on the skin.
Lu San Seeing this, he patted his waist Demon Gourd.
Buzz!
Venomous bees surged out like dark clouds.
That night at the lakeside sacrifice, not only the little fox and the falcon, but also the Demon Gourd benefited from it, as it accommodated more poisonous bees.
These poisonous wasps specialize in feeding on poisonous poison.
They swarmed up, pierced Gu worms's body with their tail needles, and immediately made it escape. Then their mouthparts wriggled and swallowed it.
Soon, Giant Alligator's body was covered with poisonous wasps.
As if feeling comfortable, Giant Turtle Master remained motionless and allowed these poisonous bees to remove the Gu worms from his body one by one.
In about the time it took to touch a stick of incense, all Gu worms was cleared away, and Giant Turtle Master also retched and spewed out a large amount of mucus.
Inside the mucus, there are densely packed insect eggs the size of rice grains, some of which are still slowly squirming, and new Gu worms have hatched.
These eggs are naturally swallowed by poisonous bees, and then all fly into the gourd.
Demon Gourd I haven't eaten meat for many days, so I feel good after eating it. It trembles slightly, indicating that I am in a happy mood.
Then, an ancient sacrifice began by the river.
Under the moonlight, Lu San took out the large basin prepared in advance, which contained the sacrificial wine purchased from the temple. He and Giant Turtle Master each cut a wound, dripped blood into it, and finally recited ancient carols at the same time.
Gangsha Energy lingered around, the blood in the basin blended with each other, and was drank by one person and one demon.
Making an alliance based on blood is an ancient oath. It was mentioned in the pre-Qin period that "in all alliance rituals, animals are killed and blood is used to swear an oath to the gods. If there is any violation, the gods will be punished, so they sacrifice like this."
Dating back to more ancient times, there are oaths between tribes, totem fusion, and covenants between wizards as leaders and gods and spirits.
Blood, on the other hand, implies many taboos.
It has both protection and curse. Until now, some powerful spells and spells require the use of blood...
Ding-ding! Ding-dang!
Before dawn, Li Yan was awakened by the sound of iron striking.
He got dressed and opened the window, and the towering Buddhist pagoda Yuquan Temple suddenly came into view.
After a lot of work last night, the Wu Prefecture City door had been closed, so they simply rode to Yuquan Temple and handed all the Overlord's Well cold spring water to Master Lu.
Thinking of this, Li Yan turned to look at the table again.
There was a map of Ezhou on it. He came to the table and looked at it carefully, thoughtfully.
Now that he has reached an agreement with Giant Turtle Master, this old demon will no longer hide some information and will tell him everything.
The first person Li Yan asked was Three Treasures of Yunmeng.
Some things may have been lost to the human race and hidden in the barren mountains and swamps, but monsters still know some of them.
Three Treasures of Yunmeng, Lord of the Clouds Divine Gate, Self-Growing Soil and Wang Chan Ancestor's Scripture Forest respectively.
Although these are just stories spread among people, Giant Turtle Master also gave a lot of information.
Lord of the Clouds Divine Gate has the most information.
According to Giant Turtle Master, she didn't know exactly what it was. She only knew that when the ancient Chu people built it, there were many monsters cooperating with it.
After all, the ancient god Lord of the Clouds ruled Yunmeng Marsh at that time, and all nearby creatures believed in him. Although their names are different, their images have one common feature, clouds and thunder.
The blood ancestor of Giant Turtle Master happened to be the original great demon, carrying a chain on his back and dragging Lord of the Clouds Divine Gate through Yunmeng Marsh.
Yes, Lord of the Clouds Divine Gate is a huge ship!
But as times have changed, this giant ship forged with many Heavenly Spiritual Treasure has become more and more strange. After the Yunmeng Marsh dried up, it was unknown where it was hidden.
The only way to enter now is to worship Lord of the Clouds in those Yunmeng Marsh ancient sacrificial places when clouds and thunder are blowing, and then enter the divine temple in a dream!
This thing now is more like an ancient dream lingering around Yunmeng Marsh, which can only be entered by Divine Soul in the dream.
Entering the Divine Tower, you will occasionally get some things, but they are completely uncontrollable. For example, <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> is found in the Divine Tower, but it is of no use to Giant Turtle Master.
But there are many taboos when entering it.
Giant Turtle Master tricked Lu San into stealing things. Although he compensated with <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses>, Lu San will never be able to enter again, otherwise Divine Soul will be left inside.
Of course, given the original relationship between the two parties, Giant Turtle Master was very particular about not backlashing after the incident and sending things away.
And that colorful token is the ancient Chu Water God's token. With this token, Giant Turtle Master can open up a water palace and attract many disciples and descendants.
Firstly, it provides protection, and secondly, it can also transform into a secular god.
That's right, both Giant Turtle Master and that East Lake Old Ancestor are old. That's why they appear in the world and pursue their own paths.
Giant Turtle Master also had a little secret. Knowing that humans now occupy the destiny of heaven and earth, he signed a covenant with Lu San. At the same time, he also wanted them to make peace and become one of the water gods of the Yangtze River system!
The second update is about a little bit
