Chapter 371 Looking for Demon Traces
There are villains underground.
Li Yan finally understood what Wu Ba meant.
With this big guy's language skills, he still doesn't understand what "little people" means. The little people he talks about are really small people.
Li Yan quickly started the Divine Ability investigation, then frowned slightly, "Lu San, ask him where he learned about it."
With his current Smelling Mystical Power, he could clearly see what was more than ten meters underground, but he couldn't smell anything.
Wu Ba is Body Mystical Power. His talent is all about muscles. How could he find something abnormal underground.
Lu San hurriedly communicated with Superior Language, and after some muttering, the reason was finally explained.
"Wu Ba and his tribe live in Shennongjia, and villains often come out of the ground to steal their food.
This kind of villain wears clothes and a jade pendant. Because Wu Ba comes into contact with it frequently, he knows that there must be such a thing nearby..."
"Villain! Villain!"
Wu Ba nodded quickly, then squatted down and gently lifted the stone.
Everyone also looked down and were suddenly surprised.
I saw a small cave under the stone, which was similar to a mouse hole. The edges were smooth, and the most important thing was that it was blocked by a wooden board.
The wooden board is rough, but there are obvious carving marks. When you turn it over, you can see a small handle on the back.
"Villain! Villain!"
Wu Ba was holding the wooden board with a very angry expression.
Li Yan also became interested when he saw it, "Is it Mu Ke?"
In this world, many legendary things exist.
For example, in Yunyang Prefecture Jiangzhe Merchant Guild, he met Treasure Hunter Young Master Lin from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other party brought a "Mu Ke".
It is a humanoid spirit that hides in the dense forests in the south of Divine Land. It occasionally cuts down spiritual trees and trades them with others, so it is called Mu Ke.
"Probably not."
Wang Dao Xuan also took the small wooden board and said with interest, "'Mu Ke' is a spirit in the forest. They usually live in trees and do not wear jade or use gold tools."
"In <"Classic of Mountains and Seas">, it is mentioned that 'Zhou Rao Country' and 'Jiao Yao Country' are both villains. They live underground, wear clothes, and know how to farm. But one is three feet long and the other is six feet tall. They are much bigger than this."
"There are only two kinds of such small ones, one is called 'Jingren', who lives to serve the gods, and the other is called 'Jun People', who is dressed in red and has a red hat, is good at planting Chemazhi, and rides and runs underground."
"According to Pindao's opinion, most of them are 'Jingren'."
As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding mountains and said, "These weird little people are recorded in ancient times. Even today, most of them are hard to find."
"It is rumored that Xian Mountain is the place where Fuxi was buried after his death, and there were Chi Songzi, Chang Sangzi, and Yu Zi who lived in seclusion, and the Han River where Goddess's spirit appeared. It is indeed extraordinary..."
Li Yan first took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "This cave is too deep. It extends downward in all directions. I don't know where it ends. It is probably just an ordinary exit."
After that, he asked again, "According to what the Daoist Master said, 'Jing Ren' lives in the service of gods, so there must be gods in this mountain?"
Wang Dao Xuan nodded and said, "If there is a 'Jingren', then there must be gods. These villains can also collect jade, Attendant gods."
Li Yan pondered for a moment, "I have a skill, but I haven't practiced it successfully yet, and it can easily offend people. Let's look for it first. If we really don't have any clues, we'll talk about it later."
What he said was <North Emperor God Control Method>.
This method is very domineering, and thunder can be used to forcefully suppress ghosts and gods and make them obey orders.
He has the thunder method, and Soul Hooking Lightning Rope, so it is not that difficult to practice. I have been practicing it every night these days, and I have already gained some insights.
But it's okay to suppress ordinary brats. If there is any powerful mountain god or water god, it will actually make people angry.
With a plan in mind, everyone moved on.
Although Xianshan is not Blessed Grotto-Heavens, it is also a famous mountain and river, and immortals and celebrities have lived in seclusion since ancient times. Naturally, there are a large number of Daoist temples, and there are also many celebrity tombs.
Wang Shuhe, Tang Meng Haoran, Liu Biao, Du Fu... Most of the celebrities in Xiangyang in the past dynasties were buried here.
To be honest, it is not a remote wilderness. If it had not been for the recent outbreak of the plague, there would definitely be a lot of tourists.
Li Yan I really can't figure out why Wang Chan Ancestor's Scripture Forest is hiding in such an obvious place.
In order to prevent accidents, a few people did not take the main road, but walked through the mountains and forests, and soon they saw a mountain col.
In the middle of the mountain, there stands a monk temple. It is small in area and has a low-key and simple architecture. It is the kind of small temple you can see everywhere.
The falcons were flying in the sky. Lu San took one look and said in a deep voice, "The temple is empty and everyone is gone."
Li Yan nodded, "Go down and have a look."
Everyone went down the hillside and entered the temple to investigate.
Sure enough, the small temple was empty, the fire in the kitchen had long been extinguished, the porridge cooked inside was moldy, the surroundings were in a mess, and there were black blood stains and drag marks on the ground.
The altar table was also in a mess and covered with dust.
Li Yan looked around, shook his head and said, "The monk inside was killed for at least four or five days. It should be those people who did it."
Wang Dao Xuan wondered, "What are they arresting the monk for?"
"Not sure."
Li Yan pinched Mystical Gestures again, took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "It rained the past two days, and the smell has been washed away. Brother Lu San, check if the animals around you are aware of it?"
Lu San cast a spell immediately and whistled.
But after a while, nothing appeared.
At this time, even Lu San was a little surprised, "This animal in the mountains doesn't want to communicate with me."
Sha LiFei said in confusion, "This is strange. This is the first time I have seen you. Brother Lu San, are all the animals in the mountains dead?"
"It's not like that."
Lu San looked solemnly, looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers, and said solemnly, "In this case, <Classic of Mountains and Seas Spiritual Responses> explains that there are rules in the mountains and there are mountain gods."
"I'll try to communicate with the mountain god again!"
After that, he walked out of the temple, set up a simple altar with stones, took out the spices prepared in advance from his luggage and lit them, then pinched Mystical Gestures and danced Nuo Dance.
The ancient witchcraft sound sounded, Lu San smelled the spices, his eyes gradually turned white, his movements became more and more intense, and he seemed to have entered a state of sleepwalking.
After a while, he suddenly shouted, mixed garlic under his feet, and fell to the ground. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked around with confusion on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yan quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Lu San gasped and said in disbelief, "I seemed to feel something, but was interrupted by a sound."
"What sound?"
"It's like some kind of musical instrument, yes, it's a chime!"
"Chime?"
Li Yan After hearing this, he felt confused and said, "That is a ritual instrument. Where did the chime come from on this mountain? I didn't hear it just now."
He also had Ear Mystical Power, but he didn't hear any sound.
Wang Dao Xuan said thoughtfully, "Since I entered the mountain, I have encountered the 'Jingren' cave again, and I can't communicate with the mountain god. There must be something weird in this mountain. Let's find a higher place and wait for the poor Daoist Qi Observation to investigate."
Li Yan immediately agreed and took everyone up the mountain.
This Xian Mountain is not high. It didn't take long for everyone to climb up to the top of a mountain. Wang Dao Xuan pinched Mystical Gestures, holding the compass, and looked in all directions.
He also awakened the new Divine Ability and became good at Qi Observation.
Others saw just ordinary mountains and rivers, but in his eyes, they were filled with miscellaneous gases of five colors and a myriad of phenomena.
After looking at it for a while, Wang Dao Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "This Xian Mountain is indeed extraordinary. Although it is not Blessed Grotto-Heavens, it has Gangsha Energy circulation and many spiritual veins and acupoints, which are rarely seen in other places."
"No wonder so many celebrities are buried here."
Sha LiFei was anxious, "Daoist Priest, don't worry about the celebrities for now, let's find the whereabouts of those people first."
Wang Dao Xuan looked at the sky and saw that the red sun was already rising high. He shook his head and said, "It's hard to find. It's daytime now, when Yang Qi is rising and Yin Qi is falling. Only when Zi Hour can we find Demon Qi."
"Roar!"
At this moment, a roar came faintly.
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the shore.
Now that they were climbing high and looking into the distance, they could just see the Han River below, but it was so far away that they couldn't see clearly what it was.
Lu San raised his head and waved, and the hawks roared out, wandered up and down the shore, and suddenly rose into the air.
Bang!
What followed was a gunshot.
"Not good!"
Lu San was immediately startled.
I saw the falcon drop a few feathers in the air, flap its wings quickly, and glide towards them, but barely managed to fly halfway before falling vertically.
"I'll go first!"
Li Yan jumped out without saying a word.
Hidden Strength exploded under his feet, and he jumped directly from the cliff, stepping on the protruding trees and rocks, and fell rapidly.
Others were not as skilled as him, so they had to go down the mountain from the other side.
Li Yan was so fast that he arrived in the forest below in no time. He was galloping and leaping on the tree trunks, and soon reached the place where the falcon fell.
He looked down and was shocked.
I saw Lu San's falcon falling to the ground, with blood stains on its wings, and it was already fainting, and around it, there were a group of small figures.
They were a group of dusty little men, wearing cloth clothes and holding small spears forged from jade, picking up feathers.
"Seeking death!"
Li Yan shouted angrily and fell from the air.
Whoosh!
Those little things can escape and burrow into the ground in an instant.
After Li Yan landed, he quickly turned on Divine Ability, and immediately smelled a lot of aura, but in an instant, it merged with the energy of the earth's veins.
It's exactly what Wang Dao Xuan said, "Jingren".
Not caring about these villains, Li Yan quickly investigated the falcon.
Fortunately, the falcon only suffered damage to its wings. It may have hit a tree when it fell and fainted.
Not long after, Lu San and others also followed.
Lu San's face was pale, and he was obviously very frightened. Even Little White Fox, who had never dealt with the falcon, stared at the falcon with dark eyes, and turned around anxiously.
Fortunately, the falcon was not seriously injured. After checking it, Lu San immediately started to take out the projectiles on the wings with a knife, applied herbs, and bandaged it.
Sha LiFei took the small iron pill and said solemnly, "It's New Style Firearm. It uses loose pills, so it can shoot so far."
"You guys wait, I'll go see who it is!"
Li Yan gave instructions in a deep voice and quickly got out of the dense forest.
Not long after, he arrived at the shore.
The person who had just fired the gun had long since disappeared, but there was a pool of blood on the river bank, and there were many footprints heading towards the river.
Without any hesitation, Li Yan first hid the firearm, then came to the shore, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, pinched Mystical Gestures, "Nogao! Tiantian Taisu, the essence of Rengui. The inner part should be stored in the kidney, and the upper part should be the mercury..."
It is North Emperor Black Water Escape.
Before the spell was over, water mist surrounded him, making it hazy and unclear.
After casting the spell, Li Yan immediately jumped into the water.
Wow!
After his Daoism improved, Profound Water Escape was also extremely amazing. Not only could he hold his breath underwater for a long time, but he could also dive as fast as a swimming fish.
With a sway of his body, Li Yan shuttled along the bottom of the river.
Finally, he discovered something was fishy.
On the shore not far away, there is a towering stone cliff in Xian Mountain, half submerged in the water, and there is a huge cave under the water.
The cave's entrance alone is as big as four or five rooms. It's so dark that it's unclear where it leads.
At the entrance of the cave, several figures were slowly sneaking around.
They were three men wearing water jackets. One of them was carrying an oilskin bag, which was obviously a firearm.
The remaining two people were dragging a corpse.
They also have extraordinary water skills and quickly get into the hole.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his feet, and swam towards the entrance of the cave like a sharp arrow in the water.
Underwater firearms won't work. He has water escape, and with Soul Hooking Chain, he can easily deal with these people.
However, as soon as he approached the entrance of the cave, Li Yan felt a chill in his heart, twisted his body, and quickly retreated like a swimming fish.
Whoosh!
A black shadow roared out and passed him.
Swish, swish, swish!
Black shadows continued to shoot out, more and more, like huge Water Python, and suddenly there was an undercurrent.
Li Yan's heart was pounding, and he swam a hundred meters away before turning around.
I saw a huge toad slowly crawling out of the cave, with blood-red eyes. On its head, huge fleshy flesh was twisted like a long snake.
It's East Lake Old Ancestor!
Li Yan was shocked and immediately knew his identity.
Good guy, such a big old monster, Killing Intent is so heavy on his body that the hairs all over his body stand on end, no wonder it can hurt Giant Turtle Master.
But when he took a closer look, he found something strange.
The huge eyes of East Lake Old Ancestor were full of madness and blood, as if it had lost its mind. There were huge iron pillars stuck in its body, and they were covered with runes.
East Lake Old Ancestor did not pursue, but just blocked the entrance of the cave.
It seems that he has accepted some kind of order.
But just as Li Yan relaxed, he saw East Lake Old Ancestor suddenly opened its mouth, and a stream of white mist spurted out along with the water.
Upon closer inspection, it is clear that they are countless tiny flesh worms, writhing crazily like white threads.
It was Gu Arts that was Giant Turtle Master at that time!
Li Yan was startled, turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, his Profound Water Escape speed was astonishing. In just a few breaths, he swam to the shore and jumped out of the water with a splash.
Swish, swish, swish~
As soon as we stepped ashore, there was a strange noise behind us.
Li Yan turned around and saw that those white Gu worms were crawling toward the shore along the river, twisting and twisting like countless white wireworms.
"Get out!"
Li Yan cursed.
On the waist Severing Dust Blade, Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Sword Tassel is shaking.
The energy of Solemn and Killing Intent spread, and Gu worms died in large numbers immediately.
He was relieved. Although these little things were not strong, there were too many of them, especially when they were underwater, they were hard to guard against.
It seems that the monster's lair is underwater.
It is estimated that the cave leads to Wang Chan Old Ancestor Buddhist Scripture Forest.
Maybe even Giant Turtle Master is trapped in it.
But there is East Lake Old Ancestor guarding it, how to enter?
At this moment, on the river in the distance, several warships came riding the wind and waves, and they were the soldiers of the garrison who came to support them.
Li Yan was shocked and shouted quickly, "Back off!"
Second update in the afternoon
