Chapter 421 Wushan Secrets
"Who the hell are you?!"
A woman shouted sharply, her eyes full of wariness.
Although the others did not speak and their faces were covered with white gauze, their murderous intent was even stronger.
Outside the hall, densely packed insects have emerged from the flower beds and brick cracks, as small as sesame seeds, jumping around very fast...
On the beam inside the house, a strange black snake with long horns was snaking out of the darkness...
The entire mansion was in a state of murderous intent in an instant.
Wow!
Sha LiFei stood up suddenly, took out two guns from his arms, pointed them at the women left and right, and cursed, "Cowards, they are all dogs, they will fall out when they say they will..."
Wu Ba also stood up in a hurry, picked up the big axe, and didn't forget to stuff a chicken leg into his mouth...
Lu San looked cold and had secretly picked up Mystical Gestures.
Wang Dao Xuan sighed and touched the sash on the right side. There was nothing there, only a small clay pot with "Black Evil Omen" sealed...
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
"Woo~"
The sound of crying sounded, but it was two little girls Wu Chao Yun and Wu Xing Yu. They were a little overwhelmed and started crying.
This cry interrupted the tense atmosphere.
Old Woman Bai Huan sighed, "I just said it was strange that the baby came back, and 'Guest in the Mist' was blocking the way..."
"If you are clear and don't tell secrets, you were also invited by the Salt Gang?"
"Salt Gang?"
Li Yan Upon hearing this, he knew there was a misunderstanding. He raised his hand to ask everyone to put down their weapons, "I have nothing to do with the Salt Gang."
Old Woman said in a deep voice, "Then how did you learn about this?"
Li Yan replied, "Junior still has an identity, Living Underworld Messenger..."
"Oh?"
Old Woman Bai Huan's pupils shrank, he was silent for a moment, and then said, "Since I am Living Underworld Messenger, is there an ultimatum?"
Li Yan said nothing, took out the ultimatum and signaled.
Old Woman then breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and said, "You all go down, it's a misunderstanding."
"Yes, Master."
Although the women were a little confused, they left obediently.
Above the banquet, there were only Old Woman, two Girl, and the Gu sect's Long Yan'er.
"It turns out to be Living Underworld Messenger..."
Old Woman nodded and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. It's true that the Salt Gang's methods are vicious and pervasive, and they have forced us to attack every tree and plant."
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "I haven't said the reason yet, why does senior know that Living Underworld Messenger is related to Shengang?"
Old Woman said calmly, "Young hero has caught the evil spirit that escaped. To be honest, there are people in my lineage who accidentally became Living Underworld Messenger."
"Not only that, just last year, I also helped a fellow Daoist capture a demonic energy near Wuxi. So I know a little bit about some things."
"Oh?"
Although it was expected, Li Yan also felt happy.
In the Conferred God War, Seventy-Two Demon Lords was suppressed, leaving behind Longevity Evil Art, like a big thunder that could explode at any time.
Although Li Yan is not the kind of person who wants to take the initiative when the sky falls, this thing has always weighed heavily on his heart.
In this world, I am not the only one!
"Where is that senior?"
Li Yan asked quickly.
To be able to call this Old Woman a fellow Daoist, he must be quite young.
Bai Huan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Living Underworld Messenger is a ghost wandering around the world, and there are many people with evil intentions. I cannot reveal the name of that fellow Daoist."
"Understood."
Li Yan nodded and stopped asking about this matter.
He has no family, no sect, no inheritance, and the Dharma lineage he obtained is an old woman waiting to die, which is no different from being extinct.
Revealing your identity brings a lot of convenience.
But there are also major hidden dangers.
If he had known this, he would not have said it at all, so he changed the subject and asked, "What exactly is Shengang? Is the Salt Gang also planning this thing?"
Bai Huan sighed, "Since you are Living Underworld Messenger, you will eventually know about this in the future, so I can tell you so that you can take precautions."
"Between the heaven and the earth, there is Gangsha Two Qi, which is empty and indistinct, and is ever-changing. There is neither sorrow nor joy, nor righteousness nor evil."
"Famous mountains and rivers gather Innate Firm Qi, which can be Blessed Grotto-Heavens. Dark and gloomy places gather Innate Fiend Energy, which can be said to be a dangerous and dangerous place. There are thousands of mysteries, but the magic methods cannot escape the changes of these two qi."
"The so-called Shen Gang is Gang Qi where the gods gather."
"In ancient times, wherever mountains and rivers met, there would always be gods. They would breathe out yin and yang, and call for wind and rain. They would gather the divine power and exert great power. Divine Ability..."
"Then the world changed again and again, and Savage Wilderness was no longer the grand scene. After becoming a god, fewer and fewer people were able to gather the divine power. Those Blessed Grotto-Heavens, incense Attendant, and the earth that lasted for thousands of years, might have a chance..."
"In addition, there are some gods after the apotheosis, such as Eight Gods of Qi, Ten Gods of Chu, etc., but they also disappeared with the changes of Human Path."
"The biggest function of Shen Gang is to strengthen Divine Ability, remove Yang Six Roots, and even condense other Divine Ability."
Li Yan After hearing this, his pupils suddenly shrank.
No wonder, some divine power can be absorbed from Phoenix Gold Ornament. It turns out to be the condensation of Ten Gods of Chu.
No wonder, for such a meritorious deed of capturing demonic energy, one would be rewarded with a divine power. This thing is completely worthy of it.
Thinking of this, another doubt arose in his heart, "Juniors have also tried it before, but the divine power cannot be absorbed by Yang Six Roots."
"That's because you don't know the method."
Old Woman shook his head and said, "Shen Gang gathers for the gods. Although we are monks, we are just ordinary people. Even ordinary Gangsha Energy will sometimes suffer backlash, let alone Shen Gang."
"So, even if they know the method, few people dare to try it. Only those who are determined are willing to take this risk..."
"That's it."
Li Yan nodded slightly, and the doubt was finally solved.
After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Why is the Salt Gang plotting against the Divine Gang? Do you, senior, need me to take action?"
After learning about his Living Underworld Messenger identity, Old Woman knew that as the leader of a faction, he would not act like this and must have other intentions.
"What the Salt Gang wants is not Shen Gang..."
Old Woman was silent for a moment, then looked at Wu Chao Yun and Wu Xing Yu next to him, his eyes full of heartache, "My two granddaughters, their lives are miserable..."
This was said inexplicably, making Li Yan even more confused.
"Is there anything bad to say?"
Long Yan'er, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke with a fierce look, "It's hard for mother-in-law to say it clearly, but I, an outsider, don't have such scruples."
"I come from the Gu sect. My senior brother's name is Wu Hai Shan. I came here to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. As a result, I fell in love with Bai Gu, which is Governing Clouds and Rain's mother."
"The two of them traveled to Wushan together, but they were plotted against each other, and in Goddess Peak Yunyu, she became pregnant with these two children."
"Originally it was a good thing, and the two religions were considered married. But as soon as the children were one month old, someone came down the mountain, named them Governing Clouds and Rain, and asked them to go to the mountain to practice hard when they were seven years old."
"The first day is Zhao Yun, and the dusk is Xing Yu. Goddess of Mount Wu helped Da Yu control the water, and it has become an earthly creature. It has not been seen in the world for thousands of years. Some people are determined to use these two children to make Goddess reappear in the world..."
"Originally, my eldest brother and my mother-in-law secretly discussed that after he succeeded to the position of leader, he would secretly take away the child."
"Unexpectedly, there was also a problem over there. Bo Prefecture Yang Family played tricks and helped others take away the position of leader. He also killed my senior brother and asked me to become a saint. This girl had no choice but to escape."
Sha LiFei said in surprise, "Isn't it good to be a saint?"
Long Yan'er sneered, "Have you ever heard of 'Falling Flower Cave Maiden'? The saint is the Gu cult 'Falling Flower Cave Maiden'. If you marry Gu Cave God, your life will be worse than death from now on. How about you become one?"
"There are cave gods, regardless of gender, they like you the most..."
"No, no, no, no."
Sha LiFei shrinked his neck and said, "Old Sha I don't have that hobby."
The two of them were making jokes, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.
Old Woman Bai Huan sighed, "The child's biological father has died and there is no way out. My daughter went to the mountain in person to beg for help in a stormy day, but unfortunately she never came back."
"Life Controller Society is actually fair and square. My Bai family is in DaChang City. No one comes to mess with me. It's also because of the people on the mountain. Now that I've messed with them, I no longer protect them."
"Wushan blocks the Yangtze River and divides Ezhou and Shuzhong Xuanmen. The reason why Xuanmen can handle it safely is because since ancient times, countless masters of outer sects have gathered in secluded cultivation. Once Xuanmen intervenes, they will unite to fight."
"I don't know the true purpose of the Salt Gang, but the two granddaughters have divine powers on them. They have kidnapped the people, but they did not take action. Instead, they sent them to the Saltwater Tribe cursed place. I'm afraid they have other motives."
Li Yan frowned slightly, "Senior, do you have any clues?"
Old Woman shook his head and said, "Saltwater Tribe is equally ancient. Back then, Linjun shot Saltwater Goddess to death. Although the Ba people later respected him as Virtue and Aid Goddess, and many of them integrated into Ba State, there is still a tribe that harbors resentment."
"Saltwater Tribe is actually a vassal state of ancient Wu Xian Kingdom. Among Ten Wu, there are descendants of Wu Peng. They originally hoped for revenge, but they did not expect that the rise of the Ba people would lead to the decline of the Wu Xian Kingdom."
"In desperation, they cast vicious witchcraft and turned it into a curse, which has been lingering here for generations, known as 'Guest in the Mist'."
"Originally they were suppressed by Cloud Ridge Temple, but there were people on the mountain who were causing trouble and were unwilling to confront Orthodox Xuan Gate head-on, so they caused the rebels to destroy the view, and 'Guest in the Mist' fled."
"The picture taken by the Salt Gang is probably related to Ten Wu..."
"Could it be Elixir of Immortality?"
Wang Dao Xuan asked in silence.
The most famous thing in the legend of Ten Wu is Elixir of Immortality, and they are also the subordinates of another great god, Queen Mother of the West.
"I don't know either."
Old Woman Bai Huan shook his head and continued, "On top of Wu Mountain, there are masters living in seclusion on the twelve peaks. We have lost our shelter and there are people behind the Salt Gang who are giving us guidance, so we dare to be so arrogant and persecute."
Now, everything is finally clear.
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "I wonder what senior needs me to do?"
Bai Huan's eyes became firm, "I have been in the Bai family for generations Attendant, but the people on the mountain are still so determined, so I have no choice but to leave."
"To be honest, I have an old relationship with a Daoist friend Qingcheng Mountain, and I have secretly sent someone to ask for help. Qingcheng Mountain has promised to let me live at the foot of the mountain and receive shelter."
"But the journey here must be difficult and dangerous. We didn't dare to say anything, so we secretly invited some experts to escort us, but the rich people of the Salt Gang and these people were bribed, so they all refused."
"Since you are all wandering immortals, are you willing to take on this job?"
As if he was afraid that they would disagree, Old Woman spoke again, "If this matter can be successful, I would like to give Life Controller Society a secret treasure in the land of Bashu. It is a small cave in the sky. The location is secret and not known to outsiders."
"As long as you arrive at Qingcheng Mountain, someone will pick you up."
"Oh?"
Li Yan thought for a moment, looked at the others, and saw no one objected, nodded and said, "Deal!"
Qingcheng Mountain wants to open a secret cellar, and it is extremely high-end.
They have also seen the situation on Huashan Mountain.
Those secret treasures, purchased with silver, have been exorbitant for a long time. Without the support of the sect's dharma lineage, ordinary monks can only stay away from them.
The best way is to barter.
If you can get a batch of secret treasures, you will be eligible for exchange.
Old Woman heard this, his eyes became slightly relaxed, and then he said again, "But before we leave, I have to go up the mountain."
"The life tablets of the two children were seized by people on the mountain. If they leave Wushan, they will be harmed by their spells, so they must be taken out first."
Wang Dao Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Forgive me for talking too much, but I'm afraid we can't deal with the people on the mountain."
There are some things that Li Yan did not hide.
Orthodox Xuan Gate There are hidden immortals. Firstly, they are protected by the mountain gate, and secondly, as the foundation of the mountain gate, they are not visible to the world. These people are called "hidden immortals".
There are also some outer sect immortals, both good and evil, who are also hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and are called "Mountain Immortal".
Most of these on Wushan Mountain are "Mountain Immortal".
"Hahaha..."
Long Yan'er smiled, "You don't understand this. As the saying goes, one thing will bring down another. If it weren't for the people on the mountain to cause trouble and support, we would have left long ago."
"But this little brother is Living Underworld Messenger. If he reveals his identity and swaggers up the mountain, those people will have to hide tightly!"
Old Woman Bai Huan also nodded and said solemnly, "What I am worried about is these 'Mountain Immortal', as long as Young Hero Li can suppress them. The rest depends on my methods!"
As he spoke, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Li Yan actually believes this.
Old Woman Bai Huan, despite his polite words, is actually no weaker than Five Dragons Palace Yu Longzi. He also has weird witchcraft and is good at the art of insect poison.
If there is no higher power to stop me, I really have nothing to fear.
Thinking of this, Li Yan nodded and said, "Since senior has made a decision, he obviously has a plan. Can you tell me about it?"
Old Woman replied, "In two days, there will be heavy clouds and rain. Every year at this time, we will go up the mountain to worship, Attendant Goddess of Mount Wu, and the people in the family will also seek opportunities at Goddess Peak."
"You can all go with us then, and let this little brother look for an opportunity. The people on the mountain will definitely think that I will go and bow my head."
"I don't want to do anything wrong. When the time comes, all I have to do is reveal my identity and they will retreat. Someone will make arrangements at the foot of the mountain. After getting the life tablet back, we will leave Wushan immediately and go to Shuzhong!"
"Okay!"
Li Yan nodded in agreement.
Old Woman's arrangement was already perfect, and he couldn't think of a better way.
What is "Mountain Immortal"? To him, it is just a criminal, and another one was plundered on Xian Mountain.
However, there are some things that should not be done too carefully. For example, when Mount Wudang is involved, he will pretend to be confused, and even if he reacts to the ultimatum, he will pretend that he did not notice it.
If it gets offended, Wushan will be swept away at worst!
In the next two days, everyone stayed in Dachang.
With enough "Mount Wu Divine Tea" nourishment, Lu San's injuries also improved quickly.
The people at Life Controller Society are also busy preparing secretly.
They have been in Dachang for many years, so they naturally left behind many secret hands.
Finally, after three consecutive days of cloudy weather, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and there were signs of rain...
Second update in the afternoon
