"It must be Saltwater Tribe!"
"Fast Boat Zhang" on the side swallowed his saliva, "I have seen the Baren Salt Pond, which is completely different from this place. That 'Guest in the Mist' must be the dead soul of the Saltwater Tribe..."
His voice was trembling a little, and he felt frightened when he thought about delivering goods through this secret passage without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
After saying that, he casually glanced to the side, his eyes suddenly widened, he walked up to a zombie in a few steps, and shouted in a low voice, "Isn't this Yang Hei Gou? Why does it look like this?"
All zombies in the salt pond ruins have been killed.
There are many types of zombies, born with the energy of evil spirits, such as wax seals, Corpse Raising Ground, Gu worms, cats and dogs barking... many situations can occur.
Although this kind of salted one was rare, Li Yan didn't care about it, but he didn't expect that he was an acquaintance of "Fast Boat Zhang".
"Senior, do you know me?"
"Hmm."
"Fast Boat Zhang" nodded and said, "This person's name is Yang Hei Gou. He is a member of the Salt Gang in Sichuan. He often lives at the junction of Sichuan and Hubei. He is familiar with me. He was entrusted by him to deliver goods through secret routes from here."
As he spoke, he sighed, "This is also an old man in the world of rivers and lakes. He has a good way of doing things, but he died here unexpectedly."
Sha LiFei clicked his tongue and shook his head. "I walk a lot at night, how can I not encounter ghosts? If you transport goods from here, you will be unlucky sooner or later."
And Li Yan said solemnly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he came to the cliff near the altar, tore apart the dense vines, and revealed a cave.
Everyone came forward to watch.
The cave is not big. Sha LiFei held up a torch and took a photo, and was surprised. "Why are there two girls lying there?"
I saw two Girl lying underground in the cave, about seven or eight years old, wearing embroidered clothes and Blue Scarf on their heads, typical Yi People Girl wear.
She has fair skin, black hair, and is as beautiful as a white porcelain doll. She is a pair of twins, and she is adorable just by looking at them.
However, both Girl were tied with hemp ropes, their lips were pale, and they were already dying.
"Daoist Master, help people quickly!"
Li Yan's expression became solemn.
The clothes of the two Girl are embroidered with golden phoenixes, circling in a circle, abstract and simple.
It is exactly the same as the Phoenix Gold Ornament he once found!
"Master, be careful..."
"No, no, no."
"Don't dislike the poor people in the country."
"Master, this is the bacon just made this year..."
People come and go in the Zhang family mansion, and they are all Jin Yang Ping folks.
Fortunately, Li Yan rescued them in time. Although these people were exposed to evil spirits, they were not fatal and only needed to rest for a period of time.
The villagers are simple and strive to bring the best things to their homes.
The villagers are cunning and beat around the bush to let them know Feng Shui.
Even Sha LiFei is having a hard time coping.
But inside the Zhang family mansion, it was a miserable scene. Zhang Lin Sheng could not be saved after all, his soul had been devoured, so things continued as usual.
"Tu Laogong" Xie Chengzu is quite lucky. Although he suffered a stroke, his mouth and eyes are only crooked, his speech is drooling, and his legs and feet are still nimble.
But in this case, there will be no connection with the practice in the future.
The Zhang family lost a large sum of money, and something happened to the troupe, so they had no intention of keeping him and left Jin Yang Ping directly.
"Have you thought about it?"
In the main room, "Fast Boat Zhang" asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Si Bei nodded and said, "Think about it, my father has not passed down the method of holding back treasures, so there is no point in staying here. I plan to sell off my property and go to Xiangyang to do some small business..."
Having said that, the real reason was that I was scared.
Some strange stories about the country are just the stuff of conversation after dinner, but if they really happen to happen to them, few people can face them calmly.
Xiangyang is a big city and is protected by City God Temple, so this kind of thing is relatively rare.
"That's fine."
"Fast Boat Zhang" said in a deep voice, "I know some people in Xiangyang. I will introduce them to you and then check out a shop..."
The uncles and nephews of the Zhang family were discussing the future in the front room, while Li Yan and others were waiting in the backyard.
Lu San has woken up, but Divine Soul was injured. His face is still a little pale, and he asked in a weak voice, "Yan XiaoGe, are you sure?"
"It should be right."
Li Yan took out the Phoenix Gold Ornament from his arms and said thoughtfully, "This object is Chu Shaman Token, which is the symbol of the Chu Wu organization 'Life Controller Society'. I checked it carefully and found it is exactly the same."
"These two girls were kidnapped, and the ones responsible were probably the Salt Gang. Although I don't know what they were up to, the two girls were not killed by 'Guest in the Mist', so their status must be extraordinary."
"Long Linzi said that there is also a lineage of Chu witches in Wushan, and outsiders are rarely seen. These two girls may be clues."
"If you can find it, maybe your inheritance can be completed, and I can also answer some questions..."
What he was talking about was Shen Gang.
This special Gang Qi can enhance Soul Hooking Chain, which is a stable channel to complete the Yin Division's mission of capturing evil spirits.
But this thing is also available on Chu Shaman Token.
But Orthodox Xuan Gate Dharma Meridian has never been seen before.
Li Yan has a hunch that this thing is very important to him...
Squeak~
At this moment, the wooden door opened, and Wang Dao Xuan came out carrying the medicine box, smiling, "It's okay, let the kitchen make some porridge."
Soon, the Zhang family cooked two bowls of gruel.
The two girls had been hungry for several days, and obviously could not eat or drink much food, so they had to feed them gruel to gradually restore their stomach qi.
The two of them were lying on the bed, even though they were very hungry, they drank the porridge quietly and neither cried nor made a fuss.
The two porcelain dolls, Girl, are loved by everyone. Zhang Si Bei's wife even helped her herself. After feeding her, her face was full of distressed tears. When she left the door, she began to curse, "What a beast, even the child is tied up..."
After drinking the gruel, the two girls felt a little energetic.
Sha LiFei leaned over and said, "My dear, where are you from?"
Seeing the fierce look on his face, the two girls' eyes were filled with fear.
"Go, go, go... the Daoist priest is here to ask."
Li Yan pushed Sha LiFei away.
For this kind of thing, I still have to Wang Dao Xuan. He looks like an immortal and speaks in a gentle manner. He is considered a good person by everyone.
Finally, the two girls timidly said:
"My name is Wu Chao Yun."
"My name is Wu Xing Yu."
"We live with my mother-in-law at Dachang County."
"Good boy, you go to sleep first, and then I will take you home to find your mother-in-law..."
After some comfort, the two Girl fell asleep, and everyone walked out of Wing Room gently.
"DaChang City I know."
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, "Fast Boat Zhang" said, "Wushan County is nearby. It's just across Little Three Gorges. It's only half a day's journey."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Just right, let's take a walk later."
As he said that, he looked at Wang Dao Xuan, who was frowning at the side.
"Daoist Priest, is there something wrong?"
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head, stroked his beard and said, "The names of the two girls are quite interesting."
"In the past, King Xiang of Chu and Song Yu traveled to Cloud Dream Platform, and Song Yu <Gao Tang Rhapsody> wrote that the woman claimed to be in the sun of Wushan Mountain, blocked by high hills, and the day was Zhao Yun, and the dusk was Xing Yu..."
"Zhao Yun, Xing Yu, that's Goddess of Mount Wu!"
The river is surging and the cliffs on both sides are towering.
The ancient and steep winding mountain road is surrounded by clouds and fog. Two rows of men are walking on the steep mountain road carrying heavy stones.
As they walked, they sang the slogan:
"Yo~yeah~yoho~hi~
Guys, don't panic~ah~
Dude, say it~
Shouting yo yo
Guys, lift the stone
Keep your feet firmly on your feet..."
The singing was simple and rich, echoing in the mountains, and being obscured by clouds and mist, it reached the river below, making it somewhat blurry.
The macaques in the mountains followed the cry and ran around.
The river below the mountain is rolling, and boats of all sizes are cruising slowly.
On one of the boats, Li Yan stopped and watched.
"Fast Boat Zhang" next to him said, "Young Hero Li, look, that's Goddess Peak over there."
"Where is it? Where is it?"
Sha LiFei and others heard this and ran out of the cabin.
Li Yan also looked up, but unfortunately, the weather was gloomy, the mountains were covered by thick fog, and only vague shadows could be seen.
"You can't see anything here!"
Sha LiFei shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, are you playing?"
"Hahaha..."
"Fast Boat Zhang" pulled on his undershirt and said, "The weather is not good these days. I'm afraid we have to wait until the sun comes out after a heavy rain before we can see clearly."
"If you don't care, if Goddess covers its face and is only deep in the clouds, then it is Goddess Peak. If the sun comes out and you can see it too clearly, what's the difference between it and an ordinary mountain top?"
"Yo!"
Sha LiFei raised his eyebrows, "Brother Zhang, you who come in the wind and go out in the rain, who come in with a white knife and come out with a red knife, how come you have the same problem of poverty as those scholars?"
"Alas~"
"Fast Boat Zhang" sighed, "Maybe I am getting older. I used to walk on this waterway, just to go back and forth quickly. I was in such a hurry that I missed a lot of things."
"Now, I suddenly want to slow down a bit, find a place to drink some tea, and spend the day leisurely. It's time to withdraw from the world."
"Master!"
The disciple next to him was very anxious, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"What are you shouting about..."
"Fast Boat Zhang" glared, "I am so old, is it possible that I am still following you?"
"I have decided to send Young Hero Li to Shuzhong, and then he will return to Xiangyang to settle down. As for whether he will be called 'Fast Boat Li' or 'Fast Boat Zhao' in the world in the future, it depends on your ability!"
"It's master."
The disciples gritted their teeth and did not dare to say any more.
Sha LiFei touched his bald head and said with a smile, "There is always a pause in Jianghu Fengyun. Brother Zhang will retreat when it is time. There is nothing that cannot be let go..."
"Yeah."
"Fast Boat Zhang" nodded in agreement, then suddenly pointed to the opposite side and whispered, "Everyone, the one above is Lingyun Temple, do you want..."
He knew that "Guest in the Mist" escaped from Lingyun Temple and was now suppressed by Li Yan and others in a jar and placed in the boat.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "Lingyun Temple has been destroyed. I don't know who did it. There are many masters hidden in Wushan. There is no need to create extra problems and find another place to suppress it."
"Okay."
"Fast Boat Zhang" no longer asked, but pointed forward, "After this fork, the opposite side is Wushan County."
"Go north from the DaNing River, pass through Little Three Gorges, and you will reach DaChang City. Do you want to rest or continue on your way?"
"Just keep on your way."
Li Yan turned around and glanced at the cabin, "Get there early so as not to worry the children and their families."
In the cabin, the twins Girl were sitting quietly, their big eyes looking back and forth from time to time without moving.
Little White Fox Chu Qi, Falcon Li Dong, and even Rat One Rat Two all have a crush on Girl. They stick to the side with their bellies exposed and roll around to make the girl happy.
Li Yan's eyes twitched, he looked at Lu San next to him, and whispered, "These two girls are probably more talented than you."
Along the way, they have discovered something strange.
These two girls are very smart and sensible, and they can arouse the affection of animals. When they go down the mountain, they are even followed secretly by a tiger to take care of them.
Lu San also looked solemn, "Chu Qi said that she likes these two girls very much and wants to stay by their side."
"Yan XiaoGe, do you think it could be..."
Li Yan was silent for a moment, "It's hard to say."
Lu San means that these two girls are probably the reincarnation of something. After all, they also know something. Even Lord of the Clouds is also plotting to reincarnate and become a god.
And these two girls have amazing qualifications, their names also have deep meanings, and they are related to Chu Wu, which is too much of a coincidence...
After Wushan County, it is already noon.
The painting boat did not dock, but turned north, entered DaNing River, and continued moving forward.
What they didn't notice was that on the pier, several figures were staring at them furtively, and then quickly left, and the flying pigeon sent a message...
Entering DaNing River and passing Dragon Gate Gorge, the waterway immediately narrows, with towering towers on both sides, clouds and fog, and no sun.
"The Badong Three Gorges and the Wu Gorge are long, and the apes cry three times and shed tears on their clothes."
Although the scenery in front of us did not arouse anyone's homesickness, it was indeed eerie and eerie.
The clouds cover the place and the fog surrounds it. You can often see the burials of Ba people Hanging Coffin Cliff among the cliffs, and there are even a few small boat-shaped coffins, looming in the thick fog.
The ape made a shrill sound, as if something would jump out of it at any moment.
"Tsk, tsk."
Sha LiFei shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out. Why do you go to such trouble to hang the coffin up in the wind, sun and rain..."
Wang Dao Xuan smiled and said, "Firstly, it is borrowing the dragon energy of the Yangtze River Water Vein. Secondly, there is also a saying that one will get promoted and make a fortune, and high-ranking officials will be well paid."
"Everyone, please stop talking."
"Fast Boat Zhang" suddenly spoke, looked around and whispered, "The situation is a bit wrong. There are two ships. Wushan County has been following us since we left."
Sha LiFei remained calm and turned around to glance, "Brother Zhang, I don't understand much about this business on the water. How did you figure it out?"
"Fast Boat Zhang" said in a deep voice, "Those two ships are fast boats, but they deliberately slowed down. At this distance, we can escape or chase them."
"Also, the other ships have disappeared. I'm afraid someone may intercept them in front. Please act accordingly."
"Zhu Zi, be alert."
"Yes, master."
"Fast Boat Zhang" warned, the atmosphere on the ship immediately became tense, and his disciples also secretly took out their bows and arrows.
Li Yan winked, Lu San whistled lightly, and Falcon Li Dong immediately fluttered its wings and hovered up and down in the air.
"There is a ship ahead to intercept!" Lu San whispered.
Sha LiFei was very happy, "Maybe I encountered a water bandit with no eyes. This is the first time I have encountered this in this journey."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Not a water bandit."
He didn't say much, but after turning the corner, Sha LiFei immediately understood why.
They saw a large boat parked on the river, obviously waiting for them, and two arm-thick iron chains nailed to the cliffs on both sides.
Sha LiFei's eyelids twitched, "Iron Chains Across the River, what a big gesture."
And "Fast Boat Zhang" looked at the sail on the other side with solemn eyes, "Everyone, we are in big trouble, it's Sichuan Salt Gang!"
