Chapter 344 Join forces to suppress the lake monster
"Everyone, please come this way."
The clerk led the way diligently and spoke very politely.
Li Yan and his group followed behind, looking around curiously.
Liangzi Lake is a large area, so it is naturally impossible to block it all, but the main mountain roads are patrolled, and there are also navy patrols on the river.
Don't talk about thieves, even those Miao Village have been ordered by the Gu Po. During this period, no one dares to approach Liangzi Lake.
Li Yan They were focused on cultivation and were too lazy to stir up trouble. Even Liangzi Lake Wild God, after being reminded by Lu San, took refuge elsewhere.
I haven't been here for a few days, and there have indeed been a lot of changes here.
Not to mention the soldiers patrolling everywhere, iron pillars two people high were nailed to many riverbank corners, covered with Yellow Talisman.
"This is Dragon Severing Stakes."
Wang Dao Xuan reminded in a low voice and showed Li Yan the compass again.
The pointer above changes erratically, spinning rapidly for a while, sinking suddenly for a while, and motionless for a while.
This is a symbol of the severance of earth energy.
"Dragon Severing Stakes", Wang Dao Xuan told him, is a secret method used by Feng Shui masters to block the energy of the earth's veins.
That "Shi Rou" has merged with the evil place and is buried deep underground. Even if you want to use thunder to kill it, you must first force it out.
While talking, everyone has arrived at the North Bank lake.
This is near the entrance to the tomb, and now a large camp has been built. According to the layout of the Nine Palaces and Bagua, there are more than twenty large and small tents.
Not only were the guardsmen patrolling, but also Martial Monk from Wuchang Enforcement Hall followed.
After entering the camp, the little official led them to an empty tent, and then said, "Your Excellency and several Xuanmen masters are discussing, Young Hero Li, please come with me, and everyone else please rest here first."
This matter has been explained a long time ago, and besides, the main purpose of these people is to experience the Daoist thunder method, so naturally they have no objections.
As for Li Yan, he followed the clerk to the big tent.
A lot of people have gathered in the tent, including monks, Daoists and Confucians.
As for Yuan Feng, although he is just a kind old man, he is the doctor of Principal Fifth Rank. Moreover, this matter is organized by Bureau of Parks and Buildings, so he naturally sits in the hall.
"I've met my lord."
Seeing this situation, Li Yan raised his fists and saluted.
This is obviously a military activity. Regardless of the private relationship, in this kind of situation, the etiquette that should be observed cannot be less.
At this moment, Yuan Feng also has a straight figure, wearing a blue official robe with a white pheasant embroidered on the front, and a black official hat on his head, with a dignified demeanor.
Seeing Li Yan arriving, he smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Everyone, this is Ezhou righteous Li Yan. He discovered and reported this matter, and he is also the only one who escaped from Gaochang Ghost City."
Suddenly, many scrutinizing eyes in the hall gathered.
Li Yan stared straight ahead, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary."
After Yuan Feng signaled him to sit at the last seat on the left side of the hall, he calmly looked at everyone in the hall.
Among them, there are many acquaintances.
On the Buddhist side, it was naturally Master Baotong Chan Temple Tong Huan. Next to him sat Cheng Jue from the Enforcement Hall in Wuchang, and several old Confucian scholars who came with Yuan Feng were also among them.
But there was another person who Li Yan didn't expect to be. He turned out to be Double-Pupiled Feng Shui Master Yu LanShan who became famous in Wuchang some time ago.
This person has taken refuge in the palace. Needless to say, he came on behalf of Prince of Wu Prefecture. After all, this place is not far from Wu Prefecture City, and there is Chu King Tomb nearby.
There are three people who are more attractive to Li Yan.
Among them was one Old Taoist, who was tall, with tiger eyes and white eyebrows. He was dressed in a red Daoist robe, embroidered with Yu Luo Xiao Platform, Sun Moon Star stars, cranes and auspicious clouds, etc., which looked dazzling.
Seeing this person, Li Yan felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that this outfit was the Zhengyi High Priest robe. It seemed that the one who used the thunder method this time was the Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhengyi sect.
In Xuanmen Daoism, there are many thunder methods, and each sect has different methods.
The one recognized as the strongest is naturally Divine Firmament Sect, with Five Thunder Method as the core, including the ten thunders and thirty-six thunders.
Wang Wenqing, Lin LingSu, Sa Shoujian... there are many masters.
But today, it has declined somewhat.
Zhengyi Sect, on the other hand, is good at both internal and external cultivation, practicing <Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Method> and absorbing the strengths of various schools. "Zhengyi Thunder" is the method to control Pressing Qi's luck.
This Old Taoist is not an expert at Martial Arts, but sitting there, even if he holds back his breath, Li Yan feels a sense of depression in his chest.
Now he is no longer a stick, he already has an understanding of the various factions of Xuanmen and knows the general distribution of their strength.
Dao Progress Third Floor is the pinnacle of human qualifications. Divine Land will not be underestimated anywhere...
Dao Progress Fourth Floor is a real Daoist master who travels around the world and handles complex situations...
The five-story building of Daoxing is the backbone of each family's dharma lineage.
For example, the Zhengyijiao master in front of you, and the master Tong Huan opposite Baotong Chan Temple, are basically five-story buildings.
Dao Progress Sixth Floor, some of the people who teach Pressing Qi luck, some practice alone and embark on the road to ascend to the gods, while others live in seclusion in Blessed Grotto-Heavens.
The seventh level of Daoxing Tower is the leader level.
The eight-story Daoxing Tower can be named in history books.
Daoxing Nine-layer Tower, after breaking through, you can ascend to the gods!
Further up, no one knows what's going on.
Therefore, Li Yan's <Luo Feng Scripture> claims to be able to cultivate to the 18th level, but even he himself is doubtful about it.
At such a young age, he quickly entered the third-story building. In the Heart Training Hall of Baotong Zen Temple, he also showed his innate aptitude for martial arts, and was taken seriously by several old monks.
Normally, I wouldn't even pay attention to him.
This time Dragon Tiger Mountain's master came here, most likely to perform "Zhengyi Thunder".
The second person who caught his attention was a middle-aged official, also wearing a green robe, with a heron embroidered on his chest. He looked like a Principal Sixth Rank official.
This person's face was peaceful, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment, and his aura was normal, about Third Floor.
The reason why Li Yan is curious is because the person sitting opposite him is none other than Yu LanShan.
And this Double-Pupiled Feng Shui Master, although he tried his best to conceal it, still glanced at the official from the corner of his eye from time to time, with a trace of vigilance Qi Ingestion.
I heard Yuan Feng say before that he would hire a Feng Shui Master from Ganzhou named Yang Mingqing, who is a descendant of Yang JunSong. Not only did he join Directorate of Astronomy at a young age, he would also later become a Erudite Scholar of the Qiankun Academy.
Could it be that he is talking about this person?
As for the last person, Li Yan is even more wary.
This person is named Commandery Commandant Office Qianhu, with sharp features and a vertical line between his eyebrows. Although he is wearing Commandery Commandant Office's common black robe with silver embroidery, he also wears a layer of leather armor on the outside. He has Flintlock Firearm on his waist and a long sword on his back, as if he is about to get up and fight at any time.
His face was gloomy, and he was covered in Killing Intent. After Li Yan entered the tent, he turned to look at him from time to time, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, without any taboo.
Look what Laozi does?
Is there some grudge?
Li Yan was wary in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
Yuan Feng, who was above, continued, "This situation is a bit complicated, so I am shamelessly asking you to come."
"Master Tong Huan, what have you discovered these days?"
The old monk looked calm and said, "Among the Gaochang Ghost City, those Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts have been bound for thousands of years. They should have died long ago, but they were nourished by Yin Fiend Land and could not be saved."
"They are trapped by 'Shi Rou' and have become one with it. All the poor monk can do is to perform a Soul Calming Ritual. Those dead souls can be stabilized and 'Shi Rou' will not explode..."
"Master Yang, what about you?"
Yang Mingqing quickly opened his eyes, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please rest assured that the dragon energy of the nearby mountains has been cut off. If necessary, the 'Shi Rou' can be forced out."
"Senior Zhang Zhi Ting, where is your teaching?"
Although the Zhengyi Sect's master had a majestic and domineering appearance, he spoke kindly and said with cupped hands, "Sir, I watched the sky at night and made some calculations with Master Yang. Tomorrow around Shen Hour (15:00 to 17:00), thunderclouds will come from the southwest. At that time, we can cast a spell to attract thunder."
"But there is something that Pindao needs to explain in advance."
"Tomorrow's thunder from the sky will probably hit Firm Fire at the same time, counteracting the evil aura in this place. The tomb chamber is within the body of 'Shi Rou', and I can't estimate the damage it will cause."
"That's it..."
Yuan Feng When he heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.
During this period of time, he has been waiting for these masters.
Yang Mingqing of Directorate of Astronomy was the first to come from the capital, taking a group of people to check the Feng Shui and lay down Dragon Severing Stakes everywhere around the lake.
This Zhang Zhi Ting master is also very busy. He has brought a group of junior disciples to work everywhere to subdue monsters and eliminate monsters. He is the person Dragon Tiger Mountain specially sent down the mountain to perform Thunder Altar.
The other party's experience is Old Taoist. If he says he can't control it, he must be making a lot of noise.
What if something in the tomb is broken...
At this moment, Double-Pupiled Feng Shui Master Yu LanShan suddenly said, "I have a way."
"Oh?"
Yuan Feng said quickly, "Master Yu, please speak."
He had naturally heard of Feng Shui Master, who was famous in Wu Prefecture City, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, he had seen him too many times in various places, so he only thought that he was here to monitor for Prince of Wu Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, he would suddenly offer suggestions.
Yu LanShan said in a deep voice, "The method of Feng Shui should not focus on the power of a place. To the south and east of this place, there are Ancient Zhou Mine and Chibi battlefields. They are both fierce places."
"Ancient Zhou Mine's situation has been solved by us. A long time ago on the Chibi battlefield, an expert released the ghost monster. If bronze mirrors are erected to the east and west of Liangzi Lake to form Two Phases Formation, and Baotong Chan Temple eminent monks set up altars to appease this evil creature, we should be able to temporarily charm this evil creature."
"When the time comes, you can take out the things first, and then kill them with thunder."
As he said that, he looked at Yang Mingqing opposite, "Mr. Yang, I wonder if this suggestion is okay?"
This Yu LanShan was originally narrow-minded, but now he has a lot of hope for success and fame. When he meets a master who is equally matched, he will inevitably want to compare himself with others.
Yang Mingqing After hearing this, he was not angry. Instead, he pondered for a moment, stroking his palms and sighed, "What a good plan. Master Yu is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he can break the monster's four-image game. It's not as good as mine."
Yu LanShan was stunned at first. Seeing that Yang Mingqing looked sincere and didn't seem to be making sarcastic remarks, he felt a little embarrassed. He handed over his hands and said, "Master Yang is too modest. I just want to establish a foothold in Ezhou, so I have studied the Feng Shui of this place for a long time, so it is not worth mentioning."
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Yuan Feng knew that the matter was probably going to be correct, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's follow Master Yu's method, first stabilize the evil object, and then take out the thing, and then kill it with thunder."
"Young Hero Li, Tian Chiliarch, I will send a few junior brothers into the tomb when the time comes. Both of you are masters. I wonder if you can accompany them to protect the law?"
Li Yan raised his hand and said, "I am willing to serve."
On the other side, Qianhu, who had been looking at him just now, also nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will bring some good people with me tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Yuan Feng stood up and said, "Time is running out, everyone should prepare first. When the battle is successful tomorrow, I will hold a banquet for you at Yellow Crane Tower to celebrate your victory!"
After making a plan, everyone left the tent one after another.
Li Yan's heart moved, he came up to Yu LanShan and said, "Master Yu, my companion has done a lot of research on Feng Shui Arts. I wonder if I can follow him and gain some insights."
Although Yu LanShan is famous, Li Yan and his group also have many names in Wu Prefecture City, so they will not look down upon him.
There was also a smile on his face, "Young Hero Li, you're welcome, you are talking about Daoist Wang, right? If someone can help me, I will naturally be happy."
"Thank you."
Li Yan is happy and is about to leave and tell Wang Dao Xuan.
In this large-scale operation, the participants are all experts, and there are Dragon Tiger Mountain Thunder Altar to suppress it. There is basically no danger. They are mainly here to gain experience.
Don't miss such an opportunity.
"Young Hero Li Please wait."
Just as he was about to leave, a cold voice came from behind.
Li Yan turned around and saw that it was Tian Chiliarch.
I saw this man striding forward and standing next to Li Yan. After everyone around him left, he said, "Young Hero Li, I am here from the capital to help Daoist priest Luo MingZi on errands."
Li Yan suddenly understood and said seriously, "I see, Mr. Tian, we will find a place to chat later."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
This Tian Chiliarch didn't seem to be good at words, so he just handed him over and left. After taking a few steps, two Commandery Commandant Office members walked out of the surroundings. They also had cold expressions and followed each other away.
Judging from their body skills, they are all elite players.
Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Li Yan looked solemn.
Luo MingZi is his best friend in the Enforcement Hall, a close friend of life and death. He was transferred to the capital because of the incident with Zhao Changsheng.
Li Yan found out all the information about Zhao Changsheng and handed it over to the other party. Firstly, it was to help friends, and secondly, it was to use the power of the imperial court to take revenge.
This Tian Chiliarch came from the capital, and he should have come for Zhao Changsheng, but why was Enforcement Hall's errand given to Commandery Commandant Office?
Li Yan was confused and hurriedly returned to the tent, arranged for Wang Dao Xuan to find Yu LanShan, and strode out of the camp.
Sure enough, Tian Chiliarch was waiting outside with two of his subordinates.
The two of them nodded, said nothing, and quickly left, arriving at a nearby hidden mountain forest.
Tian Chiliarch stretched out his hand and the two men left immediately.
Not only that, he also took out a token magic weapon from his arms, pinched the magic weapon Entering the Taboo, and diffused Gangsha Energy to use it to interfere with the investigation.
Being so cautious made Li Yan have bad thoughts in his mind.
After doing this, Tian Chiliarch took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, "Young Hero Li, this is the letter given to you by Daoist priest Luo MingZi."
Li Yan looked at it and saw that it was written in Luo MingZi. He didn't say much, but just mentioned some old things about Chang'an City, such as the two of them going to a certain restaurant to drink.
It looks like chatting, but in fact it is to help Tian Chiliarch prove his identity.
Li Yan put the letter away and said with some confusion, "Luo MingZi, Daoist priest, isn't it from the Enforcement Hall? Why is Commandery Commandant Office also involved in this matter?"
"It's very simple."
This Tian Chiliarch looked around and said in a deep voice, "Enforcement Hall has Zhao Changsheng's eyeliner, he can no longer be trusted!"
