Chapter 387 Daoist Sues Cause and Effect
"It really does!"
Everyone also hurriedly came forward and took a closer look.
Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, pruned the wood to make (sì), and kneaded the wood to make (lěi). He taught the world about the benefits of raking (nòu). He can be said to be the ancestor of farming civilization.
Divine Land people all admire him.
How could you not be interested in discovering its ruins?
Li Yan hurriedly pulled away the vines on the other side, and also saw a hole. It can be imagined that stone and wood inlays were used to cast stairs here, leading directly to the bottom of the cliff.
"It should be right."
Wang Dao Xuan was also full of interest and looked down, "Shennong did not come alone at that time. He must have brought many tribal ancestors with him. They traveled everywhere and could not do without wooden ladders..."
"Ouch~owoo~"
Suddenly, the roar of wild animals came from the thick fog below.
This sound was a bit strange, like a wolf howling or a donkey braying. It was very loud and resounded throughout the valley, startling countless birds.
"It's Donkey-Headed Ruffian!"
Village Chief Zhou looked nervous. When the other hunters Dragon Pool Village heard this, their faces turned pale and they couldn't help but retreat.
Lu San's expression changed slightly and he said in a deep voice, "They said the prey was about to die, so they surrounded it."
Needless to say, the so-called prey must be that Cloud Daoist.
Li Yan Hearing this, he directly took out the armored horse from his arms, tied it to his legs, and warned, "I will go first to save people, and you will slow down later."
"Yan XiaoGe, be careful!"
"Don't worry."
After a brief instruction, Li Yan immediately Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, pinched the hand and chanted the mantra, "Nogao! Six Jia Nine Chapters, the sky is round and the place is round, the four seasons and the five elements..."
After the Daoxing is improved, North Emperor Swift Travel Technique becomes more mysterious.
All of a sudden, there was a strong wind and dry leaves flying around. Village Chief Zhou and the hunters in the village couldn't help but cover their eyes with their arms.
After the sound of the wind passed, there was no trace of Li Yan on the cliff.
They hurried forward, only to see a shadow stepping on the steep cliff, as if walking on flat ground, moving very fast, and was instantly swallowed up by the clouds and mist.
"I'll go first, Daoist Wang will follow."
Lu San took a step forward and jumped out, with a beautiful Leap of the Falcon in mid-air, grabbing the vines and moving downwards quickly.
These vines are also a bit strange. After many years, they have grown extremely strong, and their roots are deeply inserted into the cliff, like a naturally formed wooden ladder.
Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei follow closely behind.
When Village Chief Zhou and his hunters saw Li Yan's magical methods, they felt less fearful and climbed down the vine ladder one after another.
The most interesting one is Wu Ba.
At this mysterious Shennongjia, others were still a little wary, but for him, it was like returning home, and he was extremely excited since he called in.
He didn't climb the vine ladder at all, because of his staggering weight and the same weight of luggage on his back, the vines simply couldn't bear it.
And Wu Ba didn't need it at all. He opened his big hands, like an iron rake, and clasped them directly on the cracks in the rocks. Like an ape, he climbed down easily, even faster than others.
On the other side, Li Yan flew downwards rapidly, occasionally stepping on raised rocks to relieve his force, while the strong wind roared around him, forming a force to support him.
Today, Martial Arts's superb cultivation, coupled with his improvement in Daoism, finally allowed him to display the subtleties of North Emperor Swift Travel Technique.
The surrounding clouds and fog quickly receded, and he could see clearly what was happening below.
This is a large valley with frequent flash floods. Boulders of all sizes are piled up like rivers, leading to the distance.
Although there are no flash floods today, there is still a river that collides with the rocks along the way, making a constant roar and causing a lot of water splashes.
What's even more amazing is that on both sides of the valley and on the cliffs, there are dense tunnels dug out, with rocks built as walls, and only half of the wooden plank road left.
It's actually a Ancient People Ruins!
Among the rocks below, a gray-robed Daoist covered in blood was leaning against the cliff, holding a crossbow arrow in his hand, and two copper pipes scattered beside him.
Opposite him, there were two charred corpses.
Not far away, there are three giant beasts wandering around. They are as tall as mules and horses, with lower bodies like wolves, and heads as narrow as donkeys. They have fangs and big mouths, their faces are ferocious, and their scarlet tongues are dripping with mucus.
Netherworld Fire Musket?!
Seeing the copper pipe next to the Daoist, Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He originally thought that the other party was just a wild Daoist priest in a remote place, guarding the old temple to practice and protect the party.
There are Daoists like this Divine Land everywhere.
Now it seems that the identity of the other party is definitely not that simple!
Of course, there was no time to think too much at this time.
When Li Yan fell down, the sound of wind aroused attracted the attention of those Donkey-Headed Wolfs. One of them let out a low roar and suddenly jumped out with a whoosh.
This thing can actually climb on cliffs like a goat, and as if it were on flat ground, it can jump up and down the nearly vertical steep slope and rush directly to Li Yan.
Its fangs opened wide, and a fishy wind suddenly hit its nostrils.
Seeing this situation, Li Yan instantly understood.
The Yundao people below were probably forced to the cliff by Donkey-Headed Wolf and climbed down the vines in an attempt to escape.
Unexpectedly, Donkey-Headed Wolf climbed the cliff like walking on flat ground. Not only did he not escape, he was chased and fell from the top.
Seeing Donkey-Headed Wolf rushing towards him, Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, he made a hand seal with his left hand, and Soul Severing Throwing Knife roared out from his waist and penetrated into Donkey-Headed Wolf's big mouth.
Poof!
Without any delay, it burst out directly from the back of the brain, the brains splashed out, then circled and inserted into the skin of the waist.
Soul Severing Throwing Knife is a melee weapon. It relies on Soul Hooking Chain to drive it. Within a range of six meters, its speed is comparable to that of a flying sword.
Now he has two Soul Hooking Lightning Rope, which means he can drive two flying knives at the same time, which is amazingly powerful.
However, at the same time as the magic spell was being used, North Emperor Swift Travel Technique was also interrupted, and his body suddenly sank.
Li Yan was well prepared, his legs Hidden Strength exploded, and he suddenly kicked off the cliff. His body was like a flying eagle, flying directly towards the two Donkey-Headed Wolf.
The two Donkey-Headed Wolf reacted quickly. They suddenly jumped out with a whoosh, turned sharply after landing, and turned back on the rocks.
This reaction was at its peak.
Just as Li Yan landed, they jumped one after another, forming a flanking attack, and roared at the same time.
"Ouch~owoo~"
The strange voice was loud and loud, making the wind howl.
Li Yan After hearing this, his mind suddenly became dizzy.
This voice actually carries a hint of soul-stirring power!
It turns out that this Donkey-Headed Wolf already has the Dao Xing.
Divine Soul The vibration, coupled with the Donkey-Headed Wolf speed, makes it too late to cast any spell Divine Ability.
Li Yan said nothing, endured the dizziness, took out Flintlock Firearm with his left hand, raised his hand and pulled the trigger.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the upper half of Donkey-Headed Wolf's body on the left exploded instantly, and the remaining body flew out upside down.
And Li Yan, a Side Step Shoulder Shift, just escaped the attack of another Donkey-Headed Wolf, swung his right arm, and with the help of Pigua Palm's counter-turning force, he punched it down.
Click!
The sound of cracking bones was heard, and Donkey-Headed Wolf crashed to the ground.
Li Yan's hand knife struck with the five elements of metal, like an ax and a machete, directly breaking Donkey-Headed Wolf's waist and spine.
There is no doubt that this thing is much more powerful than the evil wolf "Blind Old Three" that originally attacked Li Family Fortress.
Although the opponent's lumbar spine was broken, Li Yan felt as if he had been hit on a tire wrapped with an iron rod, and his palms hurt.
And this Donkey-Headed Wolf was equally ferocious. Even though his lower body was paralyzed, of course he stretched out his front paws, twisted his body, opened his fangs and mouth, and bit Li Yan.
Phew!
At this moment, a sharp arrow shot up.
But it was Daoist Yun who saw the right moment and pulled the crossbow arrow in his hand.
The sharp arrow penetrated directly into Donkey-Headed Wolf's mouth, but this thing was already going crazy and continued to bite regardless of the pain.
But immediately, Donkey-Headed Wolf stiffened.
However, the Soul Severing Throwing Knife from Li Yan's waist roared out and stabbed directly into his neck, restraining the Donkey-Headed Wolf Divine Soul.
Li Yan looked cold and suddenly raised his foot and kicked him.
Click!
Donkey-Headed Wolf's neck was instantly broken and hung aside.
Li Yan then turned around and jumped off the rock. When he landed, Soul Severing Throwing Knife roared up and inserted the knife pouch on his waist again.
He is no longer what he used to be.
These ferocious beasts that everyone feared did not pose any threat to him. If he had to save people, a few Donkey-Headed Wolf would not even be able to get close to him.
Seeing him approaching, the man's eyes suddenly became wary.
"But Cloud Daoist, I will come with Village Chief Zhou..."
Li Yan dispelled the other party's doubts with just one word.
But perhaps because the tense nerves finally relaxed, the pale Daoist just opened his mouth and fainted before even saying a word of thanks...
I don't know how long it took, but the Daoist faintly woke up.
He lowered his head to check and found that his injuries had been treated, and a fire was crackling not far away, dispelling the severe cold.
Looking around, we can see the ancient cave in the middle of the cliff. Through the hole, we can see the darkness outside.
It turned out to be late at night.
"Cloud Daoist, you finally woke up."
Village Chief Zhou and several hunters were standing by. When they saw him, they quickly stepped forward, helped him up, and fed him some hot water.
After drinking the hot water, the Daoist regained some energy and said feebly, "Principal Zhou, why are you here?"
Village Chief Zhou quickly replied, "The Daoist Master has not returned for several days. We were also worried. Several experts happened to arrive, so we followed them into the mountain to check..."
After finishing speaking, he hesitated again, "Cloud Daoist, what is going on in Longtan Lake, can you tell me directly?"
The Daoist was stunned for a moment, then understood, "Those people told you? Where did they come from..."
"I want to know too!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Yan leading someone from the side.
It turns out that this ancient cave is made up of pits connected to pits, and there is a plank road connecting the outside. Li Yan and others are in the cave on the other side.
Naturally, you can hear clearly what you say here.
After Li Yan came in, he sat by the fire and looked at the Daoist with a calm face, "Dragon Suppression Stake and Netherworld Fire Musket are not something ordinary monks can have. I'm afraid the Daoist priest's feet are extraordinary."
He had seen it before. With his fair skin, strong muscles and calluses on his palms, Yundao Sheng was clearly a practicing practitioner, and he also had two Daoist qualities. Third Floor
Such people living here must have some agenda.
Seeing that the Daoist was silent, Li Yan spoke again, "Guanzhong Li Yan, this is Commandery Commandant Office Centurion Gong. I have other important matters when I enter the mountain. I just discovered this by accident."
"Now Southwest War is in full swing, Shennongjia inner ghost cult and Heavenly Saint Sect demons are lurking. If the Daoist priest doesn't make it clear, I will have to capture you first."
Upon hearing the identities of Li Yan and others, the Daoist's eyes became less defensive, and he finally said, "To be honest, I am Yun Lingzi, who also belongs to the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect, and comes from the Qingyang Palace in Shuzhong."
"It turns out to be fellow Daoist Qingyang Palace."
A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yan's eyes, "Qingyang Palace In Chengdu Prefecture, the Daoist leader came all the way here, so where is the origin of Dragon Girl in the lake?"
The land of Bashu has been an important Daoist town since ancient times. In ancient times, Eight Immortals of Shuzhong, Laozi entered Shu, Zhang Tianshi made a covenant with ghosts and gods, and Qingcheng and Emei became famous all over the world.
Qingyang Palace is equally extraordinary. It was first built in the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Laozi practiced here. It was the "first jungle in the southwest" and its status was extremely respected.
It's definitely not that simple to go to this remote place and suffer.
"How do you know Dragon Girl?"
Daoist Yun Lingzi was equally astonished after hearing this.
"It was Dragon Girl who learned about it through a dream..."
Li Yan had other important matters, so he didn't bother to play riddles with him, so he told the story, and then took out the Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet.
After hearing this, the Daoist was obviously a little shocked. It took him a while to come back to his senses and murmured, "It turns out that Dragon Girl changed its behavior because of this matter. Fortunately, fellow Daoist reminded me that the poor Daoist almost caused a disaster..."
Li Yan frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
Yun Lingzi picked up Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet and said in a deep voice, "If I guess correctly, this thing comes from the Dragon Palace Water Mansion."
"Really from the Dragon Palace?"
Sha LiFei's eyes lit up, "Is there a real dragon in the Yangtze River?"
Yun Lingzi was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "It does come from the Yangtze River, but it is not the Dragon God you think."
"Today's Dragon God of the Yangtze River is King Guangyuan, one of the Four Dragon Kings. He is worshiped by the royal family. There are Dragon King temples built all along the river. He is the only god in the world and there is no Dragon Palace or Water Palace."
"But a long time ago, there was a Dragon King in the Yangtze River. It is said that he was born when Da Yu was controlling the water. He was originally a poisonous snake. He turned into a dragon in five hundred years, turned into a dragon in a thousand years after entering the sea, and returned to the Yangtze River to become the king."
"According to records, this Jiang God Great Lord had a violent temperament and once asked the Yangtze River Coast people to sacrifice two blood sacrifices to Girl every year, otherwise he would cause trouble and cause the Yangtze River to rush into the city."
"It also built a water palace, and the water monsters of the Yangtze River were all under his command. The people were miserable. It was not until the Qin Dynasty that Li Bing entered Shu, invited experts from all over, and built Dujiangyan, that the dragon was suppressed."
"Now, it is also suppressed by Guankou Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun."
"Dragon Girl in Longtan Lake was originally born from a wisp of dragon energy from Jiang God Great Lord. It has a gentle temperament and has repeatedly rescued people along the coast. Therefore, it escaped disaster and fell into Longtan Lake."
"For many years, I, Qingyang Palace, have been secretly guarding it. When I saw the changes in the earth's energy, I thought that Dragon Girl was going to return to the Yangtze River, so I secretly captured Dragon Suppression Stake, but I didn't want to trigger a backlash, leaving the people of Dragon Pool Village without heirs."
"I went into the mountains this time because I heard from a hunter that he had seen a strange bird, which is the 'tao' (yǎo) mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Eating its meat can give birth to children. I want to use this bird to break the backlash."
"That's it..."
After Li Yan listened, he immediately figured out many things, and then frowned and said, "Dragon Girl asked me in a dream to give this jade guide to me. What does it mean?"
Yun Lingzi gritted his teeth, "If I guess correctly, I'm afraid it has something to do with Jiang God Great Lord and Dragon Palace Water Mansion. Although Dragon Soul was suppressed by Guanjiang Estuary, Dragon Palace Water Mansion escaped into the river, and the Xuanmen monks in Sichuan have been looking for it."
"I'm afraid something went wrong and Dragon Girl got the feeling..."
Second update in the afternoon
