The wind howls in my ears,
The houses on both sides quickly retreated.
Li Yan's current Daoxing is Third Floor, and he also built a Luo Feng Palace, which almost doubled his strength.
Using armored horses will naturally make you faster.
The wind roared around him, and with just a tap of his toes on the beams, he could jump more than ten meters into the air and change directions flexibly.
Xiangyang City The scattered buildings are not an obstacle at all.
At the same time, shouts kept coming from his ears:
"Run, run, run, scared, hurt..."
"Fire fire, they want to burn me!"
The voice was sharp and messy, and seemed to have no logic.
Li Yan heard it, but didn't feel strange.
This is his new Divine Ability, which can understand the language of ghosts and gods.
And these are all Wild God!
They also transformed into Yin Wind, carrying a pungent earthy smell, wandering quickly on the street, and passed directly through Western Completion Gate on the west side.
Li Yan frowned and turned his head to look.
That's where Xiangyang City God Temple is located.
Wild God Yin Soul can come and go at will, which means City God has neglected his duty.
Xiangyang Enforcement Hall, I'm afraid there is also a problem!
Of course, he couldn't think too much at this time, stepped on the city wall, jumped into the air, and quickly climbed over.
"Who!"
A soldier happened to be patrolling by and he quickly drew his weapon.
However, they could only detect the howling of the wind in the night sky, and something flashed past, and then quickly disappeared.
"Look!"
Another soldier pointed at the city with his mouth open.
Several people quickly moved over to watch.
But seeing the bright moon shining brightly, Xiangyang City, on the wide moat, a black shadow passed over the river, leaving a few ripples, and then quickly disappeared...
After leaving Xiangyang City, there is a large area of hills.
A series of branch waterways of the Han River are criss-crossed around the hills, and villages of various sizes are hidden among them.
In the distance, there are rolling mountains.
Going west, you will reach Longzhong where Zhuge Liangcai lived in seclusion, while going south, you will reach Xian Mountain, where Liu Bei once made his horse leap over Tanxi River, and Sun Jian also died in it.
Li Yan is very fast and always follows behind.
He had already guessed the roots of the things in front of them, which were just some hairy gods.
These things usually have some spirituality, but they are not precious, such as a big stone at the entrance of the village, an old tree in the field, or even a big broom that is used at home...
With spirituality, it is inevitable that something will happen.
After being discovered by the common people, sometimes they will find ways to deal with it, sometimes they will burn some incense Attendant. Those who are very spiritual will even be worshiped as godfathers and stepmothers by their children for blessing.
In addition, there are some house gods.
These little gods are distributed all over Divine Land, and there are so many of them. Many of them are even made of wool ropes, so they are also called hair gods.
Their lairs may be where monsters hide.
Li Yan was fast, but not in a hurry to catch up. In the air, Lu San's falcons were also flying up and down, following closely.
Unknowingly, we came to a mountain col.
I saw a dilapidated temple standing in the middle of the mountain. It was backed by a mountain and facing water. It was surrounded by dead old trees, jagged rocks, and the moonlight Underworld Journeys was shrouded in fog. It was not a good place at first glance.
Li Yan frowned slightly and stopped.
This place gave him a strange feeling, rich in Malevolent Qi, very similar to those dangerous places.
Xiangyang City is guarded by She Ling Soldiers.
It must be weird to see a place like this at such a close distance.
Thinking of this, he didn't rush in, but hid.
The situation of Xiangyang City is not as simple as a plague. There are also old monsters like Huang LiuShi and East Lake Old Ancestor behind it.
If they are all hiding here, they should be dealt with carefully.
Fortunately, the other party obviously did not notice him. In the ruined temple, a few dark fires flashed, and screams could be heard faintly in the wind.
After a while, the mist rose and billowed between the ruined temples.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully.
Suddenly, there were bursts of chanting sounds, as if countless monks were chanting sutras, but the words were in Sanskrit, and he didn't know what sutras they were reciting.
Ghost monk chants sutras...
There is indeed a problem here!
After a while, the sound of horse hoofs rumbled, but it was Wu Dehai and Lu San who came on horseback, bringing hundreds of Commandery Commandant Office masters with them.
Li Yan jumped out, stopped them, and then took Wu Dehai and Lu San to squat on the mound and look into the distance.
"So I'm hiding here!"
Wu Dehai frowned when he saw it.
Li Yan asked, "It seems that Wu Qianhu knows where this place is?"
"This is Zhao De Temple."
Wu Dehai shook his head and said, "During the Daxing Period, this place was originally built by Xiang King in memory of his mother. Just a few years ago, the Han River surged and destroyed Xiangyang City. This place could not escape the bad luck."
"There were originally many monks in the temple, not Daoist monks, but ordinary monks. When the flood came, they all died in the temple."
"But the situation here is a bit weird. Their souls linger around after they die. Occasionally, if someone enters by mistake, they will hear chanting. I heard that the chant is Amitayus Sutra..."
"City God Temple once wanted to eradicate this place, but as soon as She Ling Soldiers came, these dead souls disappeared without a trace. Once the soldiers and horses left, they would appear again every few days, and no one knew where they were hiding."
"Over time, I stopped paying attention to him. Almost all the people in Xiangyang City knew it and called him Ghost Buddha Temple. Because he was far away from Official Road, few people came close..."
"That's it..."
Li Yan thought for a moment and looked at Lu San.
Lu San suddenly understood, pinched Mystical Gestures, and whistled in a low voice.
After a while, figures of all sizes appeared, including snakes, insects, badgers, rabbits and other small animals. They were obviously afraid and did not dare to approach.
Lu San quickly stepped forward to comfort him and made a cooing sound.
Later, these little animals also chirped.
The scene in front of them made Commandery Commandant Office everyone's eyes widen.
Wu Dehai also looked interested.
He had long heard that there was a strange person in the Li Yan team who could understand the language of birds and beasts, but he did not expect that it was even more wonderful than he imagined.
Soon, Lu San turned around and returned, saying in a deep voice, "Since last month, people have been coming and going here frequently. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, people will also burn fires to kill people and offer sacrifices."
"It seems this is a den of thieves!"
Wu Dehai was filled with excitement and eager to try, "Young Hero Li, what should I do?"
Li Yan pondered for a moment, "How many gunmen are there in the team and how many firearms are they carrying?"
"Thirty ordinary muskets, two New Style Firearm, plus the confiscated one, there are three, in addition to some Bamboo Thunder Arrow..."
"That'll be easy."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "I will lead the people out, and you will use firearms to kill them in formation. Don't worry about anything, just open fire."
Wu Dehai nodded quickly, "Young Hero Li Don't worry."
Just say it, and the deployment began immediately. Thirty musketeers were arranged in formation, and they coordinated with the crossbowmen.
As for the experts, they will travel in groups and block the exit routes.
Li Yan nodded slightly after seeing it.
These people move quickly and are organized in an orderly manner. Apparently, with the appearance of New Style Firearm, Commandery Commandant Office is also conducting tactical training.
He signaled Lu San to act accordingly, then took out Severing Dust Blade, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, pinched Mystical Gestures, and whispered, "Nogao! Tianzhen Taisu, the essence of Rengui. The inner part should be stored in the kidney, and the upper part should be the mercury..."
Phew~
Water mist rose, and Li Yan's figure gradually became blurry.
Wu Dehai saw it and couldn't help but admire it secretly.
They performed various tasks and had frequent interactions with Xuan Gate People, but they were the first to have such mysterious and efficient techniques as the Li Yan team, as well as advanced tactics such as firearm coordination.
No wonder he has achieved such a prestigious reputation...
Li Yan didn't know what he was thinking, so he used North Emperor Black Water Escape to cover his whole body's aura, quickly crossed the stream, and entered near the ruined temple.
As soon as we entered the area where the strange rock Kumu was, the sound of chanting in my ears suddenly became louder, the mist rolled in, and there were many shadows of monks in the hazy place, standing silently with their hands together...
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and ignored it.
These monks may have been just ordinary people during their lifetime, but after practicing chanting sutras for a long time, Divine Soul will always become stronger.
He is a lonely soul, but he is not Fierce Ghost.
He sniffed, entered the temple through the collapsed wall on the side, and then immediately stabilized his body and remained motionless.
There was silence in the ruined temple.
But from Li Yan's point of view, it is extremely dangerous.
The rotten door panels, broken stone tablets, corridor pillars, and main hall can all smell the smell of decaying earth and wood, as well as the lingering smell of incense.
Not only that, there were also various tiny sounds coming from my ears.
"Kill, kill, tear down this door panel!"
"Amitabha, put down the butcher knife..."
"Burn it!"
"I want incense and blood food!"
Good guy!
Li Yan's pupils shrank, and he was secretly shocked.
What's going on here?
The monks outside turned into Yin Soul and wandered around, while inside the temple, all the messy things had turned into Wild God spirits.
Squeak~
At this moment, the dark temple door opened.
All Wild God's noisy sounds, including those ghost monks, all disappeared instantly and dead silence returned.
Only a dozen people were seen walking out of the ruined temple.
Most of them are dressed as ordinary mountain people, but they are carrying various weapons in their hands, and they are full of energy.
The leaders of the group looked strange.
Three of them were dressed as Miao People, wearing suede leather armor, long bows on their backs, and scimitars hanging on their waists.
These three people are none other than the original Meishan Three Brothers.
They were surrounded by an old man with gray hair, carrying a cane, wearing a black robe, and his eyes were snow-white.
"Let's go, it's not safe here anymore."
The old man said in a deep voice, "Xu San Lang is just a waste. Everyone in the city will be found sooner or later. Let's leave first."
"Elder, where are the things inside..."
"Don't worry, they won't be able to guess it even when they get here..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Li Yan, and twitched his ears, "There is something over there!"
Found!
Li Yan murderous intent flashed in his eyes and rushed out.
The Profound Water Escape he used was covered by water mist and the light reflected under the moonlight. This movement was immediately noticed by those with extraordinary eyesight.
"There are masters in the art of escape!"
"Kill him!"
This group of people suddenly became confused.
That Meishan Three Brothers directly took off the bow behind him, kept chanting in his mouth, and bent the bow to set the arrow.
However, Li Yan moves faster.
Seeing that he was getting close, he suddenly pulled out Flintlock Firearm from his waist and pulled the trigger directly.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and fire and smoke scattered in all directions.
Li Yan's target was not the three brothers, but the old man at the front. The musket was so powerful that it directly shattered his legs.
"Ah!"
Screams sounded.
The old man fell to the ground in pain, and even the several Heavenly Saint Sect disciples behind him were beaten to the point of losing their legs.
"New Style Firearm!"
Meishan Three Brothers was startled and quickly dispersed, shouting angrily, "The firearm only has one shot, hurry up, kill him first!"
Having said that, they dispersed and drew out their machetes at the same time.
The three brothers have a good understanding of each other and their cooperation is amazing.
One person swung his sword and attacked Li Yan from the front, while the other two rolled to Li Yan's side and released darts directly.
However, how can they deal with Li Yan now?
Facing the whizzing machete, Li Yan didn't even blink. He jumped up and took a wrong step, raising the sword horizontally.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, Miao Blade broke into two pieces.
Not only that, the person wielding the sword was also struck by the Yin Lightning, his whole body became stiff, and his pupils were full of fear.
Before he could react, Li Yan hugged him and pulled him around him, just in time to block the incoming darts.
Puff!
This unlucky guy is none other than Boss Meishan Brothers.
The dart penetrated deeply into his chest, his face quickly turned livid, and he was foaming at the mouth, but the dart was smeared with poison.
"Brother!"
The remaining two brothers were filled with grief and anger and hurriedly stepped forward.
But as soon as they took a step, Li Yan took advantage of the situation and threw the body towards one of them. At the same time, with this force, Hidden Strength exploded under his feet, and his body flew out diagonally, rushing towards the third child.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing the ghostly movements, Lao San knew that he was outmatched. His eyes were filled with blood, and he directly stabbed out the machete, preparing to die together.
But when he got closer, Li Yan suddenly raised his hand and used the Pigua Palm method, with the power of Gentu.
Phew~
The third child felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and the palms above his head felt like hills falling.
This is the spiritual impact caused by the punch.
Even though he was determined to die, he was still frightened and couldn't help but step back.
And this palm is just a false move.
Li Yan Suddenly Side Step Shoulder Shift passed by the opponent, his palm turned into a knife, and he tapped the back of his head.
Bang!
The third child fell directly to the ground and passed out.
Li Yan looked like Fierce Ghost in the eyes of everyone. Even its face could not be seen clearly, and the most powerful masters were killed and injured one after another.
"Run!"
Those Heavenly Saint Sect Disciples fled out of the ruined temple without saying a word.
Looking at the third child on the ground who was not sure whether he was alive or dead, Meishan Brothers's second child gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hesitation.
If they stay, the three brothers will definitely die.
If you escape, you may have a chance to take revenge.
This was a human's instinctive hesitation. Before he could make a decision, there were loud gunshots and screams outside.
"Ah!"
The second eldest son of the Mei family also knew that he was doomed. With a roar, he rushed out with a knife and took off the leather bag from his waist.
Poof!
Soul Severing Throwing Knife is inserted directly into his chest and abdomen.
The second child of the Mei family lost his sight and fell to the ground with a plop.
Li Yan looked cold, stepped forward, drew out the flying knife, and pierced his Dantian with a puff, then turned and walked towards the old man.
The old man's legs had been shattered, and he fell to the ground gasping for breath, but he had no fear, and a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.
"It's you again, it's you again..."
Li Yan frowned, "Do you know me?"
"Hahaha..."
The old man laughed crazily and said, "The leader has given an order that the Ghost Church wants you. From now on, in this vast world, there will be no place for you!"
After saying that, black blood flowed out from the seven orifices, and he fell to the ground and died...
