Chapter 395 There is chaos in Shu, Dragon Girl escapes from trouble
The night wind howled, blowing away the smell of smoke.
The corpses on the hillside were already cold, the ground was covered with broken limbs and broken walls mixed with mud, and the smell of blood was still strong.
"Hey, slow down!"
Sha LiFei held up the torch and kept urging.
Next to him, Wu Ba is carrying artillery up the slope.
This artillery was the one belonging to the Long Xiang Army. After rolling down the hillside, Sha LiFei found it again at night.
The style of the artillery is a bit strange. The barrel is thick and short, bronze in color, the muzzle is embossed with a tiger swallowing its mouth, and there are two tiger claw brackets in the front.
This thing was forged with mixed metal Spiritual Material and was very heavy, but Wu Ba had brute force and carried the tiger claw bracket effortlessly.
Li Yan is also cleaning up the battlefield.
The spoils of this battle were extremely rich.
Long Xiang Army was killed and his armor was thrown away. Many firearms were dropped. In addition to ordinary muskets, there were also two Fire God Spears, several New-Style Gunpowders, and even two Netherworld Fire Muskets that were too late to fire.
In comparison, the bits and pieces on those warlocks seem unimportant at all.
Seeing Wu Ba carrying the cannon up, Li Yan frowned and said, "Aren't there still wheels? How did you dismantle them?"
"That stuff is superfluous!"
Sha LiFei shook his head and said, "This is called 'Tiger Crouching Cannon'. The front paws are fixed and can be lowered like a tiger squatting. It is suitable for fighting in mountains and forests."
"Originally, the power of this cannon is average and it can't hit very far. However, these guys Long Xiang Army were forged with Spiritual Material and added New-Style Gunpowder. The power was immediately increased."
"Originally, this cannon had no wheels. It was because the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army couldn't carry it, so they added them randomly. With brothers Wu Ba, it's not a problem!"
Li Yan became interested upon hearing this, "How much ammunition are there?"
Sha LiFei waved his hand and said, "I only found five medicine packs and not many projectiles. I will try to get some more. With this stuff in hand, let's see who dares to come up!"
With excitement on his face, he asked Wu Ba to move "Tiger Crouching Cannon" up the mountain, and then went to search for the New-Style Gunpowder bag with great interest.
Two people took over, and Li Yan didn't bother to look for it anymore. He came to the side of the battlefield, gathered some soil and burned incense, then took out the ultimatum, clasped it in his hand, and recited. "God saves people, takes strict photos of Beifeng, the gods are ordered to sweep away the ominous, eight powerful spit poisons, four fierce horses..."
Since ancient times, there have been many innocent souls on the battlefield. If not dealt with, they will often breed disasters. Tang Era The poet Li Hua recorded: This Ancient Battlefield also often disturbs the three armies. Often ghosts cry and the sky is cloudy.
Even though these are enemies, Li Yan, as Xuan Gate People, cannot ignore them and must do something to save the souls of the dead.
Originally, these matters were usually handled by Wang Dao Xuan, but he had to take care of the altar, and climbing back and forth was quite time-consuming, so Li Yan took care of it himself.
The one he uses is "North Emperor Calamity Removal Technique", which can be used to remove curses and eliminate evil spirits, and can also be used to save the souls of the dead with the help of ultimatums.
Phew~
As the spell was cast, Yin Wind suddenly appeared all around.
Li Yan could smell the cold air coming out from near the corpses, swirling rapidly around them.
At the same time, a shrill howl came from my ears:
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Where is this place? It's so cold..."
"Mom, I miss you..."
When a person dies, everything comes to an end, leaving only one residual memory.
At the time of death, the strongest obsessions in life are often left behind. Some are blown away by the night wind and disappear between heaven and earth, while others condense into evil spirits and turn into wronged souls Fierce Ghost.
After awakening Ear Mystical Power, these wailing sounds can also be heard.
Immediately, Li Yan felt a cold breath rising from the ground, and the souls of the dead became quiet, sank into the soil, and disappeared.
The evening breeze blew, and the smell of blood seemed to fade a lot.
Li Yan was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and returned to the top of the mountain.
The wind on the top of the mountain gets stronger at night, and Sha LiFei has lit a bonfire under the boulder in front of the cave entrance, and the flames are swaying in the wind.
The old boy had already put the iron pot on to boil the broth, and there were some pancakes baking beside him, emitting a fragrant aroma.
"This thing is hard to pick up...Wu Ba, you can pick it up with one hand, why don't I help you modify it and get a hand cannon?"
Sha LiFei touched Tiger Crouching Cannon, thinking wildly.
As for Wu Ba on the side, he didn't pay any attention to it. He squatted by the fire and stared at the broth in the pot, saliva flowing to his chest.
Seeing Li Yan coming back, Sha LiFei quickly raised his head and said excitedly, "Yan XiaoGe, Old Sha, I suddenly had a good idea..."
"Shh!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yan made a gesture of silence, and then motioned to the side with his forehead.
There was another person lying there, it was the Emei disciple whom I had captured before.
Sha LiFei spat. "Hey, over there, don't pretend to be dead when you wake up, and stop all the little movements on your hands."
The man lying on the ground froze, then slowly opened his eyes, looked at the fire, and remained silent.
Li Yan just glanced at it and didn't rush to ask. Instead, he stirred the broth in the pot with an iron spoon. When he saw that the meat was stewed, he nodded to Wu Ba.
Wu Ba immediately stood up and hurriedly picked up his big basin. After letting Li Yan scoop it up, he started eating the hot pancakes.
Li Yan laughed dumbly, handed the spoon to Sha LiFei, then turned around, took out a handful of Soul Severing Throwing Knife, and stabbed it down suddenly.
The man was about to close his eyes and wait for death, but he felt a light touch on his hand, and the cowhide rope tied with him had been cut.
Looking at his confused expression, Li Yan shook his head and said, "Come over and have something to eat. Even if you are going to die, Yellow Springs Road don't starve to death."
The man gritted his teeth, got up directly, came to the fire, took the meat Tang Bing handed over by Sha LiFei, and ate and drank it with Wu Ba's dissatisfied eyes.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence, with only the sound of eating and drinking.
After he finished eating, Li Yan asked, "I'm very surprised. You are a disciple of Emei Orthodox Church and you are the direct descendant of Law Sword. Why did you get together with the Long Xiang Army?"
When the man heard this, he lowered his head and remained silent.
Li Yan looked calm, looking at the darkness all around, and said calmly, "Some things are better to be spoken out. If you feel aggrieved, no one will know about it even after you die."
Hearing this, the man clenched his fists tightly but remained silent.
Just when Sha LiFei was a little impatient, the man finally said, "My name is Wu FaLuo, from 'Hui Sect', and I practice Daoism in 'Qingniu'."
A flash of light flashed in Li Yan's eyes, "Fengdu Azure Ox Temple?"
Divine Land The three holy places of Jianghu, Shaolin, Wudang and Emei.
These three places are not only holy places for martial arts, but also gathering places for Daoist masters, such as Shaolin Zen and Wudang True Martial Palace, which belong to two Buddhism and Taoism families.
Emei is a bit special. It has Buddha and Daoism. It is located in the southwest and has huge power. There is a saying that "one tree blooms with five flowers, and Five Flowers Eight Leaves supports it."
The so-called "one tree" refers to Emei.
Not just Emei Mountain, but also the entire Bashu land.
Wuhua refers to the five regions.
Azure Ox Temple, Iron Buddha Temple, Yellow Mausoleum Sect, Yi Divination Sect, Qingcheng Sect occupy five places in Sichuan, east, west, south, north and middle.
The eight leaves refer to the eight sects of Seng, Yue, Du, Zhao, Hong, Hui, Zi and Hua.
Five Flowers Eight Leaves, let's work together to achieve the prestige of Emei.
There are Daoists and Buddhas among them, but they are not so harmonious. For example, Qingcheng Sect has a reputation in Daoism that is equal to that of Emei. When it is called, it is usually called Qingcheng Emei.
There is also Monk Fist, who has many disciples and countless martial arts techniques. Monk Fist is practiced all over the rivers and lakes in Sichuan.
This "Hui Sect" mentioned by Wu FaLuo is good at all kinds of divine boxing martial arts, with the five-character formula of swallowing, spitting, sealing, transforming and sticking.
And Azure Ox Temple is even more amazing.
It was built in the Qin Dynasty and is very old. It is said to be closely related to Laozi. This person Law Sword probably studied under Azure Ox Temple...
Sha LiFei on the side was also surprised when he heard this, "You coward, you have such a bright future, why did you rebel and your brain was blocked by the door?"
"A bright future?"
The middle-aged man Wu FaLuo clenched his fist fiercely, his eyes full of resentment, "What Orthodox Xuan Gate, there is no distinction between black and white, I have become Imperial Criminal of the imperial court, how can I have any other choice!"
Li Yan frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
Wu FaLuo stared at the fire, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "Speaking of which, there are many things that I still can't understand..."
"Qingyang Palace in Chengdu holds the 'Flower Chao Festival' temple fair on February 15th every year, which is also the birthday of the founder Laozi. All Daoists from Sichuan and Sichuan gather at Qingyang Palace to worship.
I went to attend with Master and stayed at the Qingyang Palace for the night. Scripture Pavilion suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. After a lot of fuss, I found out that someone had set the fire and stolen the Qingyang Palace treasure.
After putting out the fire, I left with my master and slept in an abandoned temple on the road. When I woke up, my master had disappeared. Then Qingyang Palace disciples came after me and accused me of stealing treasures.
Seeing that the explanation was unclear, I had no choice but to flee back to Azure Ox Temple and wanted to report the matter to the elders of the sect, but after I told them, they imprisoned me instead and refused to listen to the explanation at all..."
As he spoke, a trace of fear rose in his eyes, "I have a feeling that those elders seem to have become someone else!"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"
Wu FaLuo trembled and gritted his teeth. "The skin has not changed, and the voice has not changed, but it is like being possessed by something!"
"It's impossible."
Sha LiFei had a look of disbelief on his face, "Azure Ox Temple Where is that place? The ancestor's territory. Is there any evil that dares to cause trouble? It must be your wild imagination!"
"If this really happened, why didn't you report it to the Enforcement Hall?"
Wu FaLuo said angrily, "I reported it, but no one believed it. Instead, I was offered a reward by the court. I even ran to Emei, but there was also a problem in Emei."
Li Yan frowned and said, "What's wrong with Emei?"
Wu FaLuo sneered, "What else can there be? It's nothing more than civil strife. They only care about fighting for power and profit. How can they pay attention to a nobody like me!"
"Since Emei, I have been hunted by people. I fled to Ezhou incognito and lived in the Long Xiang Army..."
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "If Emei can't do it, what about Qingcheng?"
"Qingcheng is also full of troubles."
Wu FaLuo sighed, "Originally there was a Sword Immortal Cheng JianXin in Bashu who was in charge, but he has been in seclusion for many years and has never shown up. There are even rumors that he is dead."
"Because of this, some people in Emei have begun to fight for power. Under Qingcheng Mountain, near Dujiangyan, there are two masters of good and evil fighting. I don't know what they are fighting for. Qingcheng doesn't care about it at all."
At this point, his eyes became gloomy.
Li Yan and Sha LiFei looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.
They were going to Sichuan and Sichuan later, but they didn't expect the Xuanmen there to be so chaotic. It seemed like they would have to be careful when they arrived.
Of course, they didn't rush to help.
This matter is full of doubts, and I'm afraid there are a lot of inside stories involved. There is already a lot of things to do, so why bother meddling in others' own business.
"You go."
Li Yan suddenly spoke and waved his hand, "I'll spare your life this time. Don't hang out with those people. They won't be able to survive for a few days. I won't be merciful the next time you meet them!"
After that, he reached out and pulled out the copper needle from his acupuncture point.
Wu FaLuo was silent for a moment, stood up, clasped his fists, picked up the long sword, and went straight down the mountain, quickly disappearing.
"What kind of person can't even say thank you?"
Sha LiFei spat dissatisfiedly, "Yan XiaoGe, I think this kid probably didn't tell the truth."
"No need to pay attention."
Li Yan shook his head slightly, and suddenly his heart moved. He looked to the southeast, his eyes became solemn, "Leave him alone, be careful, I feel Killing Intent rising over there, Shen Kui Tribe is afraid it's causing trouble again..."
At the foot of the mountain, Wu FaLuo was walking with a sword in hand. He also looked to the southeast and frowned.
He looked towards Sichuan and Sichuan again, gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and quickly headed southwest...
At the same time, in the dense woods in the southeast, Guo Xiu ran away quickly with a face full of fear. There were many dark shadows in the dense forest behind him, and the screams of soldiers continued to sound.
He didn't expect that after finally gathering the remaining hundreds of people, he had the unlucky chance of meeting Shen Kui Tribe out hunting.
At this point, the last family fortune was completely ruined.
Guo Xiu felt confused and sad in his heart, running towards the Heavenly Saint Sect camp like a bereaved dog.
He didn't want to see those people, but the world was so big that he had nowhere to go.
Suddenly, the wind howled behind me.
Guo Xiu Before he could react, his head was grabbed by a giant white-haired hand. Then his neck hurt and his head was bitten off.
In a daze, Guo Xiu remembered his father's words:
"Father, if you look at my poems, it would be great to be a scholar..."
"Pah! What a bullshit scholar, remember this. We are descendants of the Daxing royal family. Sooner or later, we will take back this country!"
"Be careful on the road."
"Thank you Mr. Lu, please tell Young Hero Li that I will send back the information as soon as possible, please be careful..."
Outside Longtanhu Village, Commandery Commandant Office hundred households Gong Qun waved and clasped their fists, then turned around and left quickly, disappearing into the night.
By the time he got here, he was already familiar with the territory and could easily bypass the battlefield and return to the Baokang County camp.
Seeing the other party leaving, Lu San also turned around and headed towards Dragon Pool Village.
In the distance, I saw a fire beside the lake.
Lu San walked forward and saw that beside Longtan Lake, the altar and the altar table had been set up. There were all kinds of animals, Five Offerings all ready. People from the whole village had come out to burn incense and pray.
Daoist Yun Lingzi, whose face was still pale, stood in front of the altar. After respectfully serving Three Incense Sticks, he turned to Lu San and said, "Jushi Lu, after the dragon sacrifice ceremony, this matter will be resolved."
"Pindao will leave Dragon Pool Village later. If you come to Chengdu in the future, remember to come to the Qingyang Palace. Pindao will treat you wholeheartedly."
Lu San frowned and said in a low voice, "Can you do it?"
Yun Lingzi was still injured and was obviously a little weak, but he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the ritual of sacrificing the dragon lies in sincerity. If Dragon Girl retaliates, even if the poor man is not injured, he will not be able to escape this disaster."
After that, he looked at the sky and said, "Zi Hour is here, take action!"
Dragon Suppression Stake, which was hit below, has been chained and dragged to the shore.
After giving the order, Village Chief Zhou immediately led the men, women, and children in the village, pulling on the chains and pulling him back like a tug of war.
At the same time, Yun Lingzi also opened the altar, holding Hu Tablet in both hands, and recited Dragon King Precious Edict:
"The heart is dedicated to the gift of destiny, the sea is filled with water and becomes a palace, and Yao Island receives blessings. The descendants of Tianhuang, the order of the vast world, hold the office for three days, and command the order to control hundreds of spirits..."
The sound of scriptures and the shaking of chains.
With the combined efforts of Dragon Pool Village men, women, old and young, Dragon Suppression Stake were pulled out from the bottom of the lake one by one.
Yun Lingzi's forehead was also covered with beads of sweat, but he still chanted Dragon King Precious Edict without any hesitation.
Bang!
As the last Dragon Suppression Stake was pulled out, mud suddenly surged on the lake surface, strong winds roared, and water mist rose and billowed on the lake surface, as if something giant was flying up and down.
Wow!
There were rocks falling from the surrounding cliffs.
Lu San His ears moved slightly and his body tensed.
He seemed to hear the roar of a dragon.
Just when the Dragon Pool Village people were scared to death, the lake surface finally returned to calm, with microwaves rippling, as if everything just now was just a dream.
"Dragon Girl Mercy!"
Yun Lingzi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face full of joy.
Dragon Pool Village people don't know the inside story, and if Dragon Suppression Stake is solved, Dragon Girl will definitely be forgiven, but it's hard for him to tell.
Fortunately, Dragon Girl does not seem to have cast a curse.
At the same time, Li Yan on the top of Shennongjia was also huddled next to the fire, his eyelids were trembling crazily, and he fell asleep again...
