Chapter 425 Pursuit and Trap
"Why is there one here?"
Everyone was surprised when they saw it.
This kind of Blood Jade Cong was left by Duke Zhou, and was used to suppress the Chu land's Nine Headed Phoenix Vein luck, causing disaster for thousands of years.
In the long years that followed, not everyone discovered this secret, but those Feng Shui Master all chose to hide it.
The reason is very simple, dragon veins all have gods, and saboteurs are often counterattacked, not to mention the overall Feng Shui situation of "Nine Headed Phoenix Vein" from the ancient Savage Wilderness era.
Once let go, catastrophic disaster will ensue.
There will be a king in the Chu land, Divine Land will fall apart, and the murderous intention and resentment are very strong, Jingchu Region. From then on, there will be many disasters and mountains of bones.
No one dares to take responsibility for this kind of cause and effect.
But there happens to be an alien like Zhao Changsheng, whose purpose is to disrupt Divine Land, suck the luck of the world, and achieve his own success.
"What is this?"
Old Woman Bai Huan asked with a frown.
"Nothing."
Li Yan didn't say much. He put Blood Jade Cong away and at the same time gave a wink to signal others to stop talking.
The appearance of Blood Jade Cong made him feel uneasy.
Since this thing first appeared, the rest have been discovered one after another, and there have been seven of them unknowingly.
Fortunately, all of them were sent to Mount Wudang.
Before he left, Master True Martial Palace Yu Chanzi personally went down the mountain to meet him and explained the matter.
Zhao Changsheng is really scary, leaving all kinds of back-ups. Whenever the situation is unfavorable, they will take advantage of it and form a chain situation.
Blood Jade Cong appeared one after another, and with the one in his hand, there was only the last one left.
If they were gathered together, the consequences would be disastrous.
And, could this be a sign of some kind of disaster...
At this moment, Li Yan decided to hide Blood Jade Cong.
It's best to find a place where no one can get it.
Bai Huan was preoccupied. Seeing that he refused to say anything, he didn't bother to ask more questions. He looked at Lu San again, "What other clues are there?"
Lu San thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "There is a way!"
He turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan, "Daoist Priest, I remember you said that vegetation is more sensitive to the aura of mountains and rivers?"
Wang Dao Xuan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right."
"When we and other monks examine the potential of mountains, rivers, and dragon veins, we are just observing the situation on the mountaintops and distinguishing the yin and yang of the earth. Even with the help of Divine Ability, we can only observe the temporary phenomenon."
"But the vegetation continues to grow and change with the vicissitudes of the sea. They are using their lives to feel the flow of the dragon's veins, which is more accurate."
"But with the gathering of Innate Firm Qi in Wushan, the changes have become more complicated, and the compass has also become ineffective. To understand the Feng Shui pattern and the cave-heaven spiritual aperture, it will take several years of work by the entire sect."
"I can't do it alone."
Lu San said in a muffled voice, "It's easy to say, I got a inheritance in my dream, and it's called <Orchid and Iris Scripture>. Although I haven't understood it yet, there is a technique that I can use to communicate with plants and trees."
"Daoist Priest just needs to tell me what the flow of spiritual orifices in the cave is like."
"Oh?"
Wang Dao Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said with surprise on his face, "Brother Lu San is indeed extraordinary. This kind of ability is very rare."
After that, he picked up a branch from the side and sketched it on the rain-soaked ground. It looked like curved arcs, but it vaguely formed a closed loop of Tai Chi Bagua.
"This is the Cave Heaven Spiritual Aperture."
Wang Dao Xuan threw away the wooden stick and said solemnly, "We have seen many spiritual orifices along the way. According to Pindao's observation, most of them are like this."
"Dongtian Lingqiao is not only the condensed dragon veins of famous mountains and rivers, but also forms its own situation. The general trend surrounds the small situation, and the situation is also divided into Yin Yang Bagua, just like the melting furnace of heaven and earth."
"It is precisely because of this that we can help the monks build buildings with their gods in mind..."
After Wang Dao Xuan gave a rough explanation, Lu San looked around and then came to a big tree.
This is Chinese Cork Oak. Although it is not a spiritual tree, it is located on the top of Goddess Peak. It has been infected by Innate Firm Qi all year round, absorbing the sun and moonlight, and being baptized by Wushan clouds and rains, and it also appears extraordinary.
Its crown is towering, shaped like an umbrella canopy, its roots are split into several sections, as dry as iron, and it firmly grasps the rocks and grows tenaciously.
What is lacking in such a giant tree is opportunity.
Or a thunderstorm, a killing, or a sacrifice can give birth to spirituality and gradually turn into a spiritual tree.
But opportunity is often the rarest thing.
The right time and right location are both indispensable.
Lu San pinched Mystical Gestures, caressing the rough bark, his eyes gradually became blurred, and he put his ears to it, as if listening to some sound.
Li Yan and others looked puzzled.
Lu San's method of practice is so ancient that it is related to Witch Doctor, the tribe of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period.
However, practicing a method does not mean that it is ancient, but it must be consistent with the environment. This is the way of heaven, and even the gods have to adapt.
But Bai Huan saw something fishy, "In the past there was a witch, with birds and beasts as eyes, trees as ears, ghosts and gods accompanying them, and they could tell the weather by looking at the sun and moon... What a pity for this little brother..."
Just as she said, if Lu San was born in ancient times, he would definitely have amazing achievements.
Even so, there was still some excitement in her eyes.
Judging from the situation, you can probably find a place.
Sure enough, after Lu San closed his eyes and listened for a while, he started to whistle, which was getting longer and shorter, which was very strange.
The whistle echoed, and there was an immediate change.
Phew~
The wind howled, and the leaves of the giant coptis tree swayed.
Wow!
It sounded like the sound of the ocean tide, but the grass and trees on the mountain were swaying with the wind. At this moment, it actually overwhelmed the sound of wind and rain.
"Found it!"
Lu San suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the north.
"I found several, where should I go first?"
Li Yan pulled out Severing Dust Blade with a clang, took out the ultimatum at the same time, held it in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Look for it one by one!"
They have offended the Wushan cultivators and no longer have any scruples.
The first spiritual orifice is not far from Goddess Peak.
It was a huge rock, about the size of a house. It had been exposed to wind and rain all year round and had long since become smooth.
On top of the boulder, there is actually a black stone tablet without words, and I don't know how it was embedded in the boulder.
As soon as Li Yan and others approached, the surroundings were filled with howling winds and thick fog rising, covering the boulders and making everything appear blurry.
"Hmph!"
Li Yan snorted coldly, "Old Sha, get the gunpowder!"
He could see that the spiritual orifice was sealed by this strange boulder, and combined with the surrounding terrain, it formed a Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique cover.
As long as the boulder is blown up, the spiritual aperture will reveal itself.
"Wait!"
A sharp and hoarse voice sounded from the cracks in the rocks, "I have nothing to do with this matter, and I don't want to go against you. Leave quickly!"
Bai Huan also winked and shook his head slightly.
Li Yan knows clearly that these are probably bystanders on the mountain, who just want to watch the fun and take advantage of the situation, and do not want to get involved in the cause and effect.
But it is clear that Li Yan, who is in a bad mood, will let it go easily. He raised his eyebrows and sneered, "You are so close to Goddess Peak, so you have seen a lot of excitement, right?"
"You must know where Life Controller Society is!"
The voice in the cave suddenly became furious, "Aren't you trying to force others to do something difficult? You are beating me to death, why did you drag me in!"
Li Yan glared, "I'm such a coward, I'm just looking for you, Old Sha do it!"
"Hello!"
Sha LiFei immediately pretended to be busy.
This is also a gangster method, called "kicking the lame". By observing the opponent's words and demeanor, once the opponent is found to be weak, he will pursue and beat him fiercely.
Therefore, people in the martial arts world pay attention to losing the battle rather than losing others.
Even if you are at a disadvantage, you must not be soft-spoken. Once you show signs of depression, you will not be greeted with sympathy, but often a pack of wolves will follow.
The same is true in shopping mall competition.
Phew~
The surrounding wind picked up again, and although the thick fog was still rising, a mountain road was vaguely exposed, pointing down the mountain.
"Let's go!"
Li Yan gave the giant stone a cold look and led everyone away.
He felt more and more that the so-called earth immortals, who seemed to be tall and noble, were actually just slaves of immortality, trapped in this dark place all their lives. Even Blessed Grotto-Heavens, they were no different from the netherworld.
If someone shows you the way, everyone will go faster.
Halfway through, Lu San pointed to the east and said in a muffled voice, "There is something wrong in the dense forest over there."
Li Yan said without hesitation, "Go downstairs first. We don't have much time. If you can't find it, come back."
At this moment, the wind has slowed down, but the rain is getting heavier and heavier, forming small streams flowing.
The ground was muddy and difficult to walk on.
Li Yan could have left first, but at this moment, on Wu Mountain, surrounded by enemies, his identity of Living Underworld Messenger was a talisman.
Once separated, everyone will be attacked.
Fortunately, it seemed that the madness just now had an effect, and there were no short-sighted people blocking the way along the way.
Just after they left, the strange-looking woman wearing palace clothes and riding a white deer walked leisurely out of the dense forest.
Looking at the people below, she felt unwilling but helpless.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, have you seen it?"
An old voice sounded, the black fog dispersed, and an old man in Confucian robes with purple face and white beard walked out from Secluded Forest next to him.
"Wang MengSheng!"
The woman suddenly turned her head, sat on the white deer, looked at the other party condescendingly, and said with an indifferent expression, "Don't think I don't know, it's your trick, Wushan will never have peace again."
"Peace?"
Purple-Faced Old Man's face remained unchanged and he stroked his beard and said, "How can there be any peace in Wushan? Orthodox Xuan Gate wants to occupy this place all the time."
"Great Xuan Dynasty's national destiny is booming, and the people's dharma lineage must be respected. The emperor must strictly control them and register them honestly."
"Rogue Cultivator who don't want to be registered come to Wushan to build buildings. You all eat so hard that you really think there will be no consequences?"
As soon as these words came out, the woman was speechless.
The imperial court restricted Daoism, and Wushan, as the holy land of Rogue Cultivator, suddenly became a popular place. People could sit there and collect money, and they made a lot of money.
She already felt something was wrong, but she couldn't stop it at all.
Because the sisters Life Controller Society who have the most special status are the biggest beneficiaries. Because of this, they are not afraid of falling out with the outsiders.
With monks, who cares about those mortals Attendant.
This is why she strongly supports the resurrection of Goddess of Mount Wu. As long as Goddess of Mount Wu appears in this world, the scattered situation will immediately change.
The imperial court and Orthodox Xuan Gate will also have some scruples.
After all, Goddess of Mount Wu protects one side and is difficult to shake.
Purple-Faced Old Man saw this and continued, "Besides, I also have good intentions. If I hadn't warned you, something would have happened to those crazy women long ago!"
"Hmph!"
Although she knew what he said was correct, the woman still sneered, "It's the same thing. If you take refuge in the ghost sect, I don't know what kind of virtue they have. You must have bad intentions!"
"Who said that I have taken refuge in the ghost sect?"
Wang MengSheng stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "At that time, it was just an exchange of favors. I took refuge with someone else."
As he said that, he looked around and sighed, "Wushan's strength has been exhausted. Yu Longzi has returned, and those two idiots are following suit. It can take as little as half a year, as long as a year, and Wushan will change hands."
"I have already persuaded a few people, Fellow Daoist Zhu, why not make plans early and leave with me."
The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, "Who did you seek refuge with?"
Purple-Faced Old Man raised his head and said, "Chengdu, King of Shu!"
"Right here!"
Lu San Listen attentively and push aside the dense vines.
I saw a small mountain valley hidden behind the vines of the dense forest. It was not large in area, but the scenery was magnificent.
There are flowing water waterfalls pouring down, forming a pond in the mountain col.
It doesn't look like a place where people live.
"That's the sound!"
Lu San suddenly said, "I heard this sound of running water and a woman cursing in my dream, which is exactly the same as this."
Li Yan quickly moved Mystical Gestures to explore.
Sure enough, the Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique technique is also practiced here, and it is extremely sophisticated. After using Olfactory Mystical Power, you can't even smell the smell of earth.
Li Yan looked at the cliff with flowing water and waterfall. He already had a guess in his mind and said to Bai Huan next to him, "Senior, what's behind the waterfall is up to you."
Bai Huan didn't waste any time, just took out the bamboo flute and played it.
All Life Controller Society disciples had gourds hanging on their waists. As the flute sounded, they all took out the small drums from their arms and beat them gently.
Boom, boom, boom!
The drum beat rapidly, and streams of black smoke came out of the gourd, gathering into clouds, gathering and dispersing in the air, and then branching off into several streams, which penetrated behind the waterfall from several directions at the same time.
This is Sesame Gu, which the Bai family has raised for generations.
This Gu worms may seem small, but it is very cunning. It can invade the body of living beings and cause them unbearable pain. More importantly, it can make people sleepy and eat away at Divine Soul.
This Gu also has a famous name, "Sleepy Bug".
The Bai family uses this poison to not only defeat enemies, but also expel evil spirits and cure diseases.
"Found it!"
Not long after Gu worms entered, Bai Huan suddenly opened his eyes and said with a trembling voice, "There are still mechanisms inside to cover it, but it still retains a human touch."
"Ah Li, be careful."
As soon as he gave the order, a white shadow jumped out.
It was the woman who picked them up at the pier that day. She had no father or mother, and her surname was Bai. Her name was Bai Li.
Although this woman is not as good as Li Yan, she is still Hidden Strength, and is proficient in magic. She is also the best among ordinary magicians.
Hidden Strength exploded under her feet, stepped on the smooth stone wall, jumped up in a few moments, and got behind the waterfall to check.
But seeing "Sesame Gu" climbing inside, the appearance of a mechanism was vaguely outlined, and he reached out and groped around inside the stone wall.
Rumble!
A huge boulder rolled inward, revealing a cave.
Bai Li didn't rush in. After all Sesame Gu got in, he blew a whistle and got in.
Others followed and climbed up the waterfall and entered the cave.
The cave is deep, and because it is a spiritual orifice, the air is relatively fresh. There are stone tables and chairs, futons, oil lamps, and even baskets with wild fruits inside.
But it was empty, no one was there.
"Right here, where is the person!"
Bai Huan had determined that those people were practicing here, but the situation before her made her heart tremble.
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Look first to see if there are any clues."
Those Human Path are very sophisticated. If they deliberately avoid them, they will have no chance even if they look for them for several months.
At the same time, mist billowed in the dense forest outside, and three women slowly walked out. They were wrapped in white gauze, their faces were old, their faces were covered with orange peels and age spots, and they exuded bursts of putrid odor.
It is Life Controller Society Three Sisters.
Behind them is the Salt Gang Lu Jiu and his subordinates.
"Seniors, how about a little strategy?"
Lu Jiu spread out his fan and said with a smile, "This strategy is to open the door to welcome guests, catch turtles in the jar, and kill them easily."
Under the guidance of the purple-faced old scholar Wang MengSheng, he first came to warn and then offered this plan.
These three old women look even more powerful. If they can be appreciated, why bother looking at those Wang MengSheng faces...
Just when he was proud, one of the women suddenly turned around and blew out a puff of pink smoke from her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, several members of the Salt Gang, with dull eyes, walked to the edge of the pond, raised their knives and wiped off their necks.
Plop, plop!
Bodies kept falling, and the water in the pool gradually turned red...
