Ancient Battlefield...
When you see this place, Li Yan knows where it is.
There is Gangsha Two Qi between heaven and earth. The qi belongs to the yang, and the sun and the moon shine brightly. It often gathers in famous mountains and rivers. Blessed Grotto-Heavens.
Malevolent Qi is Yin, which is heavy and turbid, and will also gather in some special areas.
In fact, there is no distinction between good and evil between the two. Even where Innate Firm Qi gathers, it may be a disaster for ordinary people or monks.
However, because the place where Malevolent Qi gathers usually breeds gloomy energy and is attracted by the resentment of remnant souls, it is feared by people.
Ancient Battlefield, is this kind of place.
Fighting on the battlefield, Killing Intent resentment gathers, if not dealt with in time, may breed evil spirits many years later.
Cui Song on the side introduced, "Southern Song Dynasty Chunyou Era Three years ago, Golden Horde Wolf Country invaded. This Heavenly Born City was specially built to build a defense line with Diaoyu City, White Emperor City, Huanghua City, and Panshi City."
"Later, Da Xing Dynasty and Golden Horde Wolf Country faced off from north to south. After changing hands several times, there were countless dead bones in the city. After Daxuan unified Divine Land, the city was abandoned."
Li Yan Looking up, this city is built on the top of a mountain, surrounded by either cliffs or rugged trails.
Important areas are equipped with towers and sentries, and are divided into inner and outer cities. It is indeed a Military Fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
He immediately pinched Yang Seal and took a deep breath.
All of a sudden, all kinds of smells flooded into the nasal cavity.
With his current skills, he could smell the smell within three hundred meters, including more than ten meters underground, covering almost half of the ruins.
At the same time, there were shouts of killing echoing in my ears.
But it's not clear whether it's there or not.
Li Yan frowned and asked, "In a place like this, rituals are usually performed to appease the souls of the dead. You Yi Divination Sect are also Emei. Orthodox Xuan Gate, didn't you send someone to investigate?"
"Fellow Daoist, you don't know something."
Cui Song said frankly, "I, the master Yi Divination Sect, are mostly proficient in magic and not good at exorcising evil spirits, so at that time, I was handled by Azure Ox Temple."
Fengdu Azure Ox Temple...
Li Yan looked forward, thoughtfully, "I didn't find anything here, let's go to the mountain and have a look."
Having said that, Hidden Strength exploded under his feet, stepping on the ruins of the wall, leaping forward, stepping on branches in the air, and using his strength again, he jumped directly onto the inner city.
I'm a good boy...
Cui Song was secretly speechless.
He had only seen this kind of movement technique from seniors in the sect.
No wonder this person has already become famous at such a young age.
Naturally, he didn't have this skill, and what's more, he was awakened by Body Mystical Power, so he was not good at exploring. In addition, the night was covered in fog and the light was dim, so he was afraid of falling off the cliff, so he could only go up along the rugged path.
But after taking two steps, he quickly turned around and said, "This Brother Yang..."
The wealthy businessman from Chengdu smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, Young Hero Cui, let's go first. It's very foggy here, so I'll walk up the trail slowly."
"That's fine."
Cui Song nodded and said, "Be careful. If you find anything wrong, call us immediately."
Just say it and disappear into the mist.
Cui Song had tried to persuade him for a long time before, but this person insisted on following him. He was not good at refusing, so he could only agree to take him on the road.
But the above things are obviously more important.
After they left, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the face of Chengdu's wealthy businessman, "There are fewer and fewer young people like this..."
As he said that, he took out a gilt brass slingshot from his arms and held a silver bullet in it. He looked around and saw Killing Intent rising in his eyes. With a shake of his arm, the bullet flew into the fog and disappeared.
The strange thing is that the projectile moves very fast but makes no sound.
After doing this, he put away his slingshot and walked leisurely down the mountain road, just like an ordinary person...
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Li Yan closed his eyes, the sound of killing was always echoing in his ears.
Various smells penetrate into the nasal cavity along with the wind.
After Cui Song went up the mountain, he happened to see Li Yan standing on Stone Platform.
"Fellow Daoist Li, have you found anything?"
Cui Song quickly stepped forward to ask.
"There's something really weird here."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Ordinary Divine Ability can't find anything, but I Divine Ability is special and can hear some sounds."
After Cui Song heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Fellow Daoist Li is indeed extraordinary. Neither my junior sister Wang Qi nor Plum Blossom Numerology noticed it, but you were able to find it easily..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized. "I know, this place is Military Fortress. The construction methods in the military often include Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique's skills, and Drought Demon must be hiding in it!"
"I think so too."
Li Yan nodded, and then asked, "Where was that person just now?"
Cui Song quickly replied, "He has weak legs and is pulling behind him. It's okay. The place is not far away. If something happens, you can hear it if you shout. Fellow Daoist, don't worry."
Who is so worried about him...
Li Yan secretly cursed in his heart, the boy in front of him is a typical upright and stupid boy who understands Jianghu Rules but does not know the good and evil of people's hearts.
This is Drought Demon,
What normal person would come to watch the fun?
Thinking of this, Li Yan said helplessly, "Mysterious Gate Evasion Technique's technique, but the essence of your Yi Divination Sect, you should be able to find it..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Boom!
I heard a muffled sound from the south, and suddenly the surrounding wind howled, the fallen leaves swept away, and a strong rotten smell hit my face.
"Be careful!"
Li Yan gave a reminder and suddenly pulled out Severing Dust Blade.
He smelled a strong smell of Corpse Qi, and the shouting of kill became more obvious in his ears, as if he was on the battlefield for an instant.
"It's Drought Demon!"
Cui Song was also excited all over. He pulled out Treasure Sword with a clang and took out several Yellow Talisman from his arms.
But unexpectedly, nothing came rushing towards me.
Moreover, as Corpse Qi spread, the surrounding Yin Wind gradually became smaller, but the shouts of killing became louder and louder, accompanied by the billowing of white mist.
These are the remnant souls of the battlefield, which can gather Yin energy.
A weaker one can cause people passing by to hear strange noises, go crazy after collision, and harm those around them.
The stronger one is the Yin soldiers crossing the border, causing countless casualties.
"Youjiachen, Youjiayin, Youjiawu..."
Cui Song suddenly thrust the sword into the ground. At the same time, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper held three pieces of Yellow Talisman between the index and middle fingers of both hands, leaving Entering the Taboo with his fingers.
After reciting the incantation, he held up his hands, and six Yellow Talismans roared out, burning in the air and turning into ashes.
In an instant, the surrounding white fog dissipated, and the shouts of killing stopped.
Six Jia Gods Curse?
After Li Yan saw it, he couldn't help but admire it secretly.
This technique, he heard from Wang Dao Xuan, is a kind of Yansheng Curse, but it is more advanced and can only be mastered by famous orthodox sects.
He is naive, but his strength is pretty good.
Li Yan didn't care about the nonsense. He immediately rushed towards the south of Military Fortress.
To the south of Military Fortress, there are also cliffs. It doesn't look unusual, but when Li Yan opened Divine Ability, the source of the smell was quickly found.
That thing is well hidden.
There is a protruding boulder below the cliff, and there is a cave that slopes upward. The surrounding area is covered with vegetation and vines, covering the entrance of the cave.
Just now, the Yin Qi suddenly burst out, and all the stones blocking the entrance of the cave were blown away. Under the moonlight, white smoke was still lingering.
It doesn't look like a good place.
Li Yan jumped up with a knife. When he hit the protruding boulder, he suddenly twisted his body. At the same time, he grabbed it with his palm and twisted his body, like a swallow returning to its nest, and got in through the hole.
Cui Song couldn't do what he did, but his movement skills were also good. He was as agile as an ape and entered the cave from the other side of the boulder.
"This is Corpse Raising Ground!"
As soon as he entered, he realized something was wrong. He quickly took out the fire stick and lit the torch he brought with him. The fire quickly turned green.
The strange green light illuminates the entire cave.
I saw dead skeletons, tombstones and other objects inlaid on the surrounding stone walls, which were dripping with blood and black and smelly.
Every other meter, there is a black flag with strange runes painted on it. There are seventy-two flags in total, which just surround the cave.
In the center of the cave, there is a Stone Coffin.
The coffin lid was broken, with a silver pill embedded in the center, and the surrounding area was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, Corpse Qi spreading outwards.
"What... what's going on?"
Cui Song was stunned when he saw it.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward with a sudden kick.
Wow!
The coffin lid shattered instantly and rocks flew everywhere.
I saw a corpse lying in the center of the coffin, covered with black hair, with long nails, and a face as ferocious as an evil ghost.
It is the legendary Drought Demon.
But judging from the appearance, Corpse Qi has already dissipated before it took shape.
Li Yan said nothing, Severing Dust Blade moved horizontally, and the electric light crackled suddenly, directly inserted into Drought Demon's head.
Zizzi!
As the arc flashed, Drought Demon's black hair immediately curled up, his skin collapsed, and then flames burst out with a roar.
"Fellow Daoist, don't!"
Cui Song was startled, but stopped and was not in a hurry.
Drought Demon This thing can only be suppressed, not killed, otherwise the poison will spread thousands of miles and drought and plague will rage.
But what surprised him was that after the Drought Demon corpse was burned, it quickly turned into ashes without anything happening.
Cui Song was completely confused, "This... how is this possible?"
Li Yan looked around, picked up the silver pill on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Someone took advantage of the chaos in the world to raise Drought Demon here. Just now, a master took action and destroyed Drought Demon before it could take shape."
With that said, he handed the silver pill to Cui Song, "Do you recognize this?"
After Cui Song took it, he frowned and said, "This thing Gang Qi has been scattered and has no talisman marks. Why is it so powerful?"
"Young Hero Li, I haven't heard of any Dharma lineage or expert in Sichuan using this."
Li Yan also felt strange, so he put away the silver bullet first, and then looked around, "This Corpse Raising Ground must be destroyed. You can go back with the flag and ask, maybe you can find out who is causing trouble."
"Okay!"
Cui Song didn't talk nonsense. He brandished his long sword and destroyed everything around him. He also pulled hay and firewood and lit it with fire sticks.
Soon, thick smoke filled the cave.
By the time the two climbed up the mountain, Corpse Qi outside had dissipated and the thick fog had become much lighter. The night wind blew, the grass swayed, and there was the sound of insects chirping.
"Huh?"
Cui Song looked around, "What about Mr. Yang?"
Li Yan pinched the secret, took a deep smell, and his expression suddenly changed, "Something's wrong, the smell on that person is gone!"
The two looked at each other and ran down the mountain quickly...
"Whose surname is Yang? This is our ship!"
"You guys, you may have encountered a liar..."
Next to the pier, Cui Song got off the boat after some inquiries, with a face full of regret, "I just said it was this boat, but alas~ I met a senior senior, but I didn't have a chance to meet him."
Li Yan looked at the lively crowd around him, feeling secretly worried.
Killing Drought Demon with one bullet, this kind of method is simply unheard of. I didn't expect that when I first entered Sichuan, I would encounter such an expert who could not see the beginning of the dragon.
There was a little arrogance before, but now it all disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist Li, let's find a place to chat."
Cui Song Although he felt a little regretful, he did not forget the business. He left the dock and found a remote place to tell the story.
"That night I slept in a ruined temple and met an old monk in my dream. He was wearing a tattered gray robe and was a little crazy... I didn't take it seriously at first, but then I remembered something..."
"In the outskirts of Chongqing Prefecture, there is a post road connecting Yuzhou with Chengdu. There are many merchants coming and going, and they lead horses to deliver goods. The locals call it 'walking horse', and that place is called 'Zouma Post'."
"There is a custom in that place. Merchants traveling from north to south gather in teahouses every night to tell stories about their experiences, most of them Divine Land strange tales from various places in the countryside, which are very interesting."
"I went to Chengdu at that time and stayed there for a few days. I happened to hear someone telling the story of 'Gray-robed Mad Monk'. He was the only one who told it. It was very popular, so I knew this person."
"What's that man's name?"
"He is an old senior Storytelling School, known as Song Tiezui..."
Back on the boat, everyone hurriedly came forward to ask.
"Yan XiaoGe, are you okay?"
"We have been waiting for half the night, but no one attacked..."
"I met an expert."
Li Yan shook his head slightly and told what he saw.
But most of them came to Shu for the first time, and even the well-informed "Fast Boat Zhang" and Bai Huan had never heard of them.
The Salt Gang didn't come for a sneak attack, which was unexpected.
Li Yan returned to the guest room, meditated for a while, then lay down on the bed, looked at the silver pill in his hand, and fell asleep unconsciously.
In the darkness, Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet, a gift from Dragon Girl, glowed slightly.
Li Yan fell into a dream again. First he was wrapped in water, and then a pair of jade arms embraced him from behind.
There were many hallucinations in front of me, and in the blur, a temple appeared. The statue of Attendant in the temple was a handsome general with three eyes on his forehead.
He wears a three-mountain flying phoenix hat, gold armor, and a light goose-yellow robe. He holds a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade and has a golden slingshot hanging on his waist.
Suddenly, the statue suddenly lowered its head and looked at him.
Phew!
Li Yan suddenly jumped up from the bed, quickly picked up the silver pill in his hand, swallowed, "Fuck..."
He turned to look out the window.
But under the bright moon, the river is surging, the mountains in the distance are dark, and the night fog is shrouded, full of mystery and depth...
Dozens of miles away on a mountain road in the wilderness, a wealthy businessman from Chengdu walked with graceful sleeves and Four Directions Step, surrounded by strong winds.
Woof woof woof!
In the distant mountains and forests, there seemed to be the sound of dogs barking.
The wealthy businessman sniffed and his eyes suddenly lit up, "There is mutton, I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
The strong wind and white mist blew by, and people disappeared...
After another two days, the river was finally clear.
In the past two days, the Salt Gang did not send anyone to make a surprise attack.
Although everyone was not sure why, they did not relax their vigilance and sailed towards Fengdu.
In the cabin, Li Yan held the silver pill in his hand, frowning, still a little unbelievable...
There were no accidents on the road that followed.
However, the weather was unpredictable, and the autumn rain started to fall again halfway, without the lingering feeling of Jiangnan, but with a chill that penetrated into the bones.
Finally, when it was getting dark, they arrived at Fengdu City...
