The cargo ship slowly moved up the river.
It was already past dusk, and the autumn rain was falling on the river, causing ripples. The green mountains, river water, rain and mist seemed to merge into one place, and a deep and cold feeling suddenly appeared.
You can see it by looking up from the Fengdu River.
Under the rain curtain, the scene of the dock was vaguely visible, with a bustling crowd and dim lights.
Xu Shifengdu's reputation was well known, and the sky was dark, rainy and foggy, and everyone felt as if they were taking a boat into the netherworld.
Sha LiFei slapped his mouth and said, "Yan XiaoGe, why don't we leave overnight? This place makes me feel so scared."
Li Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."
The Fengdu Living Underworld Messenger party is in the first month of the year, and it's still very early. It's better to finish the errands first and then go to Qingcheng Mountain.
There is also the matter of Dragon Girl, which I also checked on the way.
He did not dare to neglect the entrustment of the gods.
At this moment, a small boat came from the river.
The boat is an eight-oared boat common in Sichuan. The stern has no rudder but a tip, a round belly and a narrow nose and tail. Eight people row the oars and one person palms the tip.
This boat has the largest number and you can see a lot along the way.
But when the other party gradually approached, Li Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he whispered, "Stop the boat, be careful!"
The ultimatum was in my arms, suddenly as cold as ice.
This kind of performance is mentioned in the Liu Gang brochure.
There is a mission to get fever.
And when Gou Liao feels cold, it means meeting a colleague!
I saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the deck of the boat opposite, wearing Straw Cape, a bamboo hat on his head, and holding an Allegro in each hand.
This Allegro is somewhat special. It has three bamboo boards, glowing with colored glaze, like topaz, with two copper coins embedded in the middle.
His wrists shook, and all kinds of tricks flew up.
After hearing this, Wang Dao Xuan also changed his expression slightly, "This is Money Clapper in Shuzhong. He used Auspicious Coin in it, which is a magic weapon!"
No need for Daoists to say it, everyone has already felt it.
The sound of the Allegro was extremely clear, and it seemed to be echoing in their heads.
At the same time, the old man sang loudly:
"We are all guests from afar. Please listen to me. Today, the old man is here to advise you to do good deeds. Do more good deeds in your life. Fu Lu Shou will be happy to know everything..."
Ta-tap-tap-tap!
"I advise people in the world not to do evil. Evil deeds will bring disaster upon themselves. The sky is wide and the net will not leak out. Good and evil will be rewarded when they come..."
A song of encouragement?
The person who came here is not a good person...
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, took two steps forward, lifted up the hem of his clothes, stepped on the edge of the boat, and looked down from a high position.
"Senior, only evil people need to be persuaded to do good. Do you think I am a bad person or a good person?"
The sound of Allegro suddenly stopped and the boat stopped.
"Right and wrong, good and evil, depend on one's own heart..."
As the old man spoke, he raised his head.
Under the bamboo hat, there is an old face, with wrinkles like growth rings, thin skin and bones, and droopy corners of the mouth. From the looks of it, he looks like a stubborn person.
The weirdest thing is his eyes.
The left eye is pure black without pupil, with a faint light.
"Ghost Eye."
Seeing this, Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice, "You have this vision only if you are possessed by Yin Soul Fierce Ghost, or you often practice the ghost method..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man stood up slowly and said in a clear voice, "Young man, do you know that you have made a big mistake?"
Li Yan sneered, "Tell me about it."
Seeing him like this, the old man was not angry and said patiently, "Generally speaking, Living Underworld Messenger has two rules."
"The first is to hide your identity."
"Not everyone is as proficient in kung fu techniques as you are. Many of your colleagues are even ordinary people. You are unscrupulous and majestic, but their situation is getting more and more difficult."
"The second is the original agreement."
"Yinxian, Mountain Immortal, although they are afraid of us, they can still drive their disciples or hire experts to intercept and kill us. Therefore, some rules cannot be broken. If they are broken, they will become enemies of everyone."
"On this first point, it can be said that those who don't know are not to blame, but what you did in Wushan has put us in danger."
"Indeed."
Li Yan nodded in recognition and said calmly, "What the senior said is correct, but I missed one thing."
"Oh..."
The old man asked, "Which point?"
Li Yan A feeling of Killing Intent rose in his eyes.
"Right and wrong, good and evil!"
"They want to harm people. If Laozi doesn't like it, they will step on it. This is my rule. All other rules in the world must be followed!"
"If you don't talk about right and wrong, how can you have the courage to discuss good and evil with me?"
"Grandpa."
In the cabin, a childish voice suddenly came, "I think this big brother is right, we can't just watch them do evil."
"Ku WaZi, you don't understand."
The old man sighed, turned his head and said, "You are still young. Grandpa will not be able to protect you for long. You are still young and he broke the rules. You will be the unlucky ones in the future."
Li Yan chuckled, "After talking for a long time, I'm still not the rightful owner. If I want to talk about the rules, it's not your turn, right?"
The old man was not angry and said calmly, "You came to Shu this time because you were invited by Wu Qu. You should be able to guess who we are."
Dao Protector...
Li Yan immediately understood what the old man meant.
After being jointly pursued by Yin Xian and Mountain Immortal, Living Underworld Messenger also learned a lot and recruited some experts to keep warm.
With Living Underworld Messenger's ability and the master's force, the two sides were a perfect match, and they have only gradually established a firm foothold since then.
For example, if those masters find a place where some old demons are entrenched but cannot defeat them, they will consume Celestial Decree from Living Underworld Messenger to summon Yin soldiers, and then the two will share the proceeds equally.
For example, if some powerful Returning Yang One and Living Underworld Messenger cannot defeat the mission, these experts will make arrangements.
At this point, the organization has grown larger and larger.
See Wu Qu meaning, it has spread all over Divine Land.
Li Yan Seeing the night getting darker, he said calmly, "I don't want to waste time. What do you want to do? Make a way."
He originally came here to use the power of this organization.
Unexpectedly, I had already violated a taboo before even attending the party.
The old man said in a deep voice, "We have a bigger rule, which is not to hurt each other, so I was just ordered to pass the message."
As he said that, he turned to look at the north bank and said in a Cang Sheng voice, "The famous mountain is a blessed place of cave heaven, but only lay Buddhists and Daoists have built temples and temples, and no Daoist people are stationed there. Do you know why?"
Li Yan said truthfully, "I don't know."
The old man sighed, "As long as you stay on the famous mountain, people in Xuanmen will often be distracted while meditating and find it difficult to make any progress. Therefore, even Emei Qingniu Temple only practices in Qingniu Mountain in the east of the city."
"Especially Living Underworld Messenger, holding the Goujiu, you can see some ghostly things, so it is also a sacred place for the organization."
"If you can stay on the mountain for one night and let this matter go, you will have passed the test and can join the organization directly."
"If you leave, we will not stop you, but we will declare from now on that you, Living Underworld Messenger, will no longer be protected by the agreement."
"It's your choice how to go."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"
The old man said calmly, "I suggest you go as far as possible. I have seen many young people like you, and they have always been a disaster."
"You, old man, are quite honest."
Li Yan sneered and hesitated.
He came to the party simply because he wanted to gain more knowledge about Living Underworld Messenger from the other party, but there were so many rules in this organization that he felt a little repulsed.
Only this Living Underworld Messenger protocol is a bit troublesome.
He didn't care, but he still had a bunch of companions around him, and he would have to go to those famous mountains and rivers to practice in the future.
Apart from anything else, it is a big problem if any hidden immortal interferes with it and asks his disciples to come and cause trouble for him...
"Little friend, you must go up the mountain."
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind.
But it was Old Woman Bai Huan who walked out of the cabin with an ugly expression on his face and said, "I have been wronged because of my old age."
"But the Living Underworld Messenger agreement cannot be thrown away. At least until you grow up, you must be protected by it, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward in the future."
"You are on good terms with the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect, and there are some dharma lines that cannot be dealt with. Coupled with your identity as Living Underworld Messenger, attacks will follow."
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, "But you guys."
"Don't worry."
Old Woman Bai Huan walked onto the bow of the ship and looked at the old man below, "Wei Wuchang, fellow Daoist, are you in Fengdu City now?"
When the old man heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, "Elder Wei is not in the city. Do you have any history with him?"
Old Woman Bai Huan nodded and said, "If Fellow Daoist Wei is here, why should I trouble my little friend and involve him in this matter."
As he spoke, he took out a token from his arms and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei gave me this thing back then. He said that as long as he entered Fengdu City, he would be protected. Does it count?"
After the old man saw it, his pupils suddenly shrank, he bent down and respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Since there is this order, I should obey it."
"But this order only has one chance. Are you sure?"
Old Woman Bai Huan didn't say anything and threw the token directly.
After taking it, the old man inspected it and said loudly, "You can go to Fengdu. No matter how long you stay, you will be protected."
"But if we leave, life and death will have nothing to do with us."
"And you, if you want to go to the famous mountain, you can go to the riverside, and I will guide you up the mountain..."
After saying that, he raised his hand slightly to signal them to go to Fengdu.
Li Yan looked at Bai Huan and saw him nodding, then turned to "Fast Boat Zhang" and said, "Senior Zhang, let's go ashore first."
"Turn around and get to the pier!"
With the command "Fast Boat Zhang", the huge cargo ship slowly turned around and headed towards the Fengdu County dock.
When the small boat behind him could no longer be seen, Old Woman Bai Huan then said, "My worries, little friend, are just because I am afraid that those earthly immortals will stop me and take revenge. When I come to Fengdu, there is no need to worry."
"This token was originally given by fellow Daoist Wei. Unfortunately, there is only one chance."
"That's easy to handle."
Sha LiFei said, "When I go to Fengdu, I will live nearby. If I wait for him for seventeen or eighteen years, those Wushan Rogue Cultivator can only stare."
Old Woman Bai Huan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."
"This place in Fengdu is special. There are Azure Ox Temple in the east and Reincarnation Temple in the west. Although the famous mountains cannot stand on it, both Buddhism and Taoism families attach great importance to it and have built secular temples, and the Living Underworld Messenger people also regard this place as a holy place."
"We are monks after all. We seem to be fine, but in fact we have no place to stay. We are already old and cannot protect them for long."
"But Qingcheng Mountain is different. I have already agreed with the Queen Mother Hall that there is the Female Taoist palace and the female dojo. All the disciples will be under his sect, and they will have a bright future in the future."
"That's it..."
Li Yan nodded and said no more.
Not long after, the cargo ship slowly docked.
But on the pier, I saw many people wearing raincoats and hats, or walking with umbrellas. The county town is not big, more like a larger town.
"Master, is there any work?"
As soon as the ship docked, two dock porters ran over. Their clothes were shabby and patched, and they looked like ordinary people.
"No, just stay for one night and then leave."
"Fast Boat Zhang" handed over and sent these people away.
Sha LiFei looked around in confusion, "Where are those Living Underworld Messenger people? Since they are sheltering, why is there no one to lead the way?"
"Living Underworld Messenger organizations and sects are different."
Old Woman Bai Huan shook his head and said, "They don't have a main altar, they don't have an address on the public face, and everyone hides in the dark. You don't know who is theirs in the city."
"Go ashore and stay at any inn. If I use the token, their people will guard you secretly."
After everyone heard this, they immediately packed their luggage and went ashore.
No one doubts the ability of the Living Underworld Messenger organization. After all, they have all seen the power of the Li Yan Yin Division soldiers and horses.
Not many, two or three people come, consume Celestial Decree at the same time, summon Yin Division soldiers and horses, anyone who sees it must stay away.
Walking into the city, the rain has not stopped.
This Fengdu city is ancient, with the same stepped piers, stilted buildings and ordinary houses built side by side on the mountain.
The rain, fog, lanterns, and the old city add to the eerie atmosphere.
It was already dark at this time, and most of the people in the city had their doors closed. Near the pier was the city gate, which was only two feet high. The bluestones were mottled, the river fog was humid, and the city gate was covered with moss.
The soldiers guarding the city seemed to have already received the news. They ignored them when they saw them and just yawned.
"Master Jun, is there an inn in the city?"
"There is a home Nostalgia Tower in the east of the city."
After Sha LiFei came forward to ask, everyone entered the city, passed through two streets and alleys, and immediately saw an inn.
Nostalgia Tower.
The name is good, but in reality it is just an ordinary inn.
It was late at night, and there were not many businessmen in the inn. They were all ordinary people. When they saw a group of them, they all turned their heads, not wanting to cause trouble.
Li Yan After investigating, I felt completely relieved.
There are no traces of magic in this inn, but his ultimatum is always cold, indicating that Living Underworld Messenger is guarding nearby.
It seems that this token is of some use.
After everyone arranged to stay, Li Yan packed up the magical artifacts one by one and said in a deep voice, "You guys stay one night first, I will be back tomorrow."
"Yan XiaoGe, be careful."
Wang Dao Xuan and others all had worried faces.
"Don't worry."
Li Yan looked out the window and saw the continuous autumn rain showing no sign of stopping, so he laughed softly and said, "The weather will help me tonight. If something goes wrong, I will use the escape method to leave."
After saying that, he bowed his hands to everyone, quickly left the inn, and disappeared into the night wind and rain...
When we arrived at the dock, the old man's cargo ship was waiting aside.
Li Yan Don't waste any time and jump on board.
"Set the ship!"
The old man glanced at him coldly and ordered in a deep voice.
The boatman on the boat immediately shook the wood pulp, and with the sails swaying, he quickly left the city of Fengdu County and headed towards North Bank.
It is a famous mountain and is also where Fengdu Ghost Gate Pass is located.
Li Yan stood on the deck and looked quietly into the cabin, only to see a young man with a thin face and sallow skin huddled under the quilt, looking at him curiously.
There is also a strong smell of medicine in the cabin.
"Ku WaZi, don't talk to strangers."
The ghost-eyed old man snorted coldly, his face full of evil.
Li Yan sighed in his heart, no longer looking at the child, but at the old man, his tone became much kinder.
"Senior, if I want to ask something, do you know 'Yin Changsheng'?"
The second update will be in the evening
