The gou ultimatum is made of ebony, and with the addition of jade accessories, the grade is further improved and it looks extraordinary.
What's more important is its function.
Meng ChangGui Although he left, there is still an area in Goujiao that is still cold, indicating that there are still people from "Yellow Spring" lurking nearby.
Li Yan pinched Yang Seal with his hand and took a deep breath.
In an instant, all kinds of smells flooded into his nostrils within a radius of 300 meters, and nothing could be hidden from him.
Li Yan Looked through the crack in the window.
Sure enough, on the diagonal side of a stilted building built against the mountain, two fishermen and woodcutter were playing chess by the window, and they would occasionally look over.
It seems that although Meng ChangGui spoke politely, he did not completely believe him.
It is said that he will be allowed to participate in the initiation ceremony during the twelfth lunar month gathering, but why not take this opportunity to continue to investigate him?
Li Yan doesn't care either.
If he could join casually, he would be suspicious.
Turning back, he continued to check the ultimatum.
After adding the jade pendant, the biggest feature is the enhanced induction.
To use a simpler metaphor, this thing is like an illegal homemade satellite pot, which exponentially enhances the ability of Gou Ultima.
Originally, it could only sense other Gouji.
Now not only the distance is further, but the location can also be displayed.
Other abilities will also be greatly enhanced.
In the past, you could only detect the criminal if you were close to him.
Nowadays, directions can be pointed out within a kilometer range.
In addition, according to Yin Changsheng, whether you accept the mission of the underworld or go into the underworld with Yin Soul, you can see more.
This is his biggest secret!
Li Yan I don't know who refined this jade pendant.
He also didn't know what opportunity Yin Changsheng got from this.
But apparently after successfully ascending to the gods, the forerunner left the opportunity behind. After thousands of years, it was only now that he opened it...
Boom, boom, boom!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Yan XiaoGe, it's time to eat!"
Sha LiFei shouted outside.
Li Yan After going out, look down from the second floor.
I saw that the lobby on the first floor had been cleaned, all the broken tables and chairs had been replaced, and their positions had been changed, forming two large rows.
The other customers were obviously afraid of causing trouble and had all left, but the shopkeeper didn't care at all. After all, high-rollers like Li Yan and the others were rarely seen on weekdays.
Sha LiFei kept greeting everyone, and everyone walked out one after another, and the entire lobby was immediately packed.
"Dear distinguished guests."
The shopkeeper greeted with a smile on his face, "This Master Sha, asked me to prepare a table of the best local noodles. Of course, it is Five Dishes and Eight Bowls. I have hired the best cook nearby to ensure that you all have a good meal."
"What are you doing in a daze? Serve the food!"
As soon as he gave the order, the two boys immediately ran back and forth between the lobby and the kitchen, serving food and wine.
The eight big bowls and the ten big bowls are the signatures of folk banquets. Similar customs are found in both north and south, east and west, which is not surprising.
What matters is the content inside.
It varies according to the cuisines, customs, and products of each place.
Here in Fengdu, five plates of cold dishes are served first, followed by eight large bowls.
The eight large bowls here are divided into four large and four small, which are Ten-Scenery Mixed Dish, Vinegar Noodles or Glutinous Rice Chicken, Garlic Pig Trotters, Washed Sand, Braised Thousand-Layer Tofu Skin, White Bean Soup, Braised Pork Belly, Three-Delicacy Shredded Soup.
Just as the shopkeeper said, the chef he hired is really good at cooking. He has dry soup with alternate flavors, salty, sweet, sour and spicy. The taste is relatively light.
However, it is very disappointing to have a banquet without wine.
When you enter Bashu, there is a lot of good wine.
There was "Yaozi Snow Song", which later became Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao Liquor, and Jiannanchun.
Even in Fengdu, there are quite a few fine wines.
But the situation is unclear at the moment, and they are also afraid of causing trouble by drinking, so they all use tea instead of wine, and exchange cups for cups, which is quite lively...
"Laozi, you still have the heart to eat!"
On the second floor of a warehouse in the distance, someone cursed in a low voice.
The speakers were two men.
He is short and stocky, with muscles all over his body. His palms are like dustpans, and his wrist bones are much thicker than ordinary people. At first glance, he is a good hand with great fist skills.
The other man was dressed in black and had his head wrapped in white cloth. He had an ordinary appearance and was no different from the common Sichuan and Sichuan villagers.
However, the row of throwing knives on the leather buckle around his waist and the nail claws placed on the table all indicate that this person is a spy who is good at flying over walls and walls.
Both of them are salt gang members and were ordered to come to monitor the situation.
Seeing Li Yan and others feasting on meat and fish, but they could only eat dry food and didn't even dare to light a fire, they naturally felt unhappy.
"Speaking of which..."
The skinny spy suddenly spoke, frowning and said, "Chen Shi They died in a strange way. Several notoriously ruthless people on the Shuzhong Road died in such an unknown way?"
"What the hell happened?"
"Who the hell knows!"
The short and stocky man cursed, "Dear Laozi, we are not warlocks, but we are here to deal with these gods and ghosts. What are you doing Lu Jiu?"
"Bang!"
The skinny man said coldly, "It's not for Shu King Residence. This guy only wants to get the upper hand. Many brothers have died this time, and he doesn't take our lives seriously at all!"
"You should also learn more carefully. Those ideas are tough, so we can just focus on them. Let Lu Jiu worry about the rest..."
"Who?!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around.
But I saw a mouse squeaking and crawling across the rafters.
"It's just a mouse, what are you afraid of..."
The two murmured and continued talking.
The mouse crossed the beam and squeaked twice at the other mouse. After several turns, the news came to Nostalgia Tower Inn.
"Zhizhi..."
Rat One, who was enjoying his meal, quickly raised his head and called out.
After Lu San finished listening, he whispered several times to Li Yan.
"Don't touch them yet."
Li Yan took a sip of tea, with a coldness in his eyes, "The Salt Gang is unwilling to give up. This matter cannot be resolved. Once we find out what they want to do, we will give them a hard blow!"
At the same time, in the county government office hall.
"Lord Liu, it's been a long time since we last met."
Fengdu County made Guo Zhengshan look flattering and poured tea himself.
The target he wanted to please was none other than Commandery Commandant Office, a hundred households in Liu Gan.
Seeing Liu Gan bowing his head and drinking tea in silence, the county magistrate Guo Zhengshan felt even more uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Lord Liu, please tell me, is this matter the idea of the Salt Gang or the palace..."
"Lord Guo, be careful what you say!"
Liu Gan glanced lightly, "No matter what happens in Shu, remember, it has nothing to do with the palace. If you say the wrong thing, you will lose your head."
"Yes yes..."
When the county magistrate Guo Zhengshan heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Liu Gan Seeing that he was almost done, he whispered, "Whatever the Salt Gang wants to do has nothing to do with us. Everything must be done according to the rules."
"Remember, I came here accidentally to investigate a case. You are acting impartially. If there is a demon who absconds in fear of crime, just report it."
"No matter how many of these gangsters die, it has nothing to do with us. Even if someone in Emei is investigated, they won't be able to find us."
"Thank you for your advice, sir."
The county magistrate Guo Zhengshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fengdu County is not big, nor is it a wharf like Wanzhou, but it has two forces: Azure Ox Temple and Reincarnation Temple, Buddhism and Taoism.
These are all Orthodox Xuan Gate warlocks. They have a wide network of contacts. From the capital to Chengdu, they may know an adult, and they can be dismissed with just one sentence.
County Magistrate Guo Zhengshan, no one dares to offend.
He was really scared if something big happened.
"Report!"
At this moment, Yamen Runner leader Meng ChangGui walked quickly, bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Report to the master, the Daoist priests of Azure Ox Temple are here."
"Please come quickly!"
County Magistrate Guo Zhengshan said something and stood up quickly, "No, it would be better for me to go and greet you in person..."
But after saying that, he looked at Liu Gan a little uneasily.
"Lord Guo Just go."
Liu Gan waved his hand impatiently, "Remember, handling things fairly means, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"Yes, yes."
County Magistrate Guo Zhengshan walked out quickly.
Meng ChangGui remained calm and glanced at Liu Gan.
Arriving outside the county government office, County Magistrate Guo Zhengshan looked up.
It was just after noon, but the sky was still overcast and drizzle was falling, but I saw a dozen Daoists in white coming from the street.
They were old and young, some were holding whisks, some were carrying Treasure Sword, some were carrying boxes, and all were holding umbrellas.
A group of people walking like a dragon and a tiger looks very impressive.
The leader is named Old Taoist. He is tall, has a ruddy complexion, and has an air of immortality. However, his pair of snow-white sword eyebrows give him an extra look of Killing Intent.
Meng ChangGui gathered all his breath, lowered his head and stood aside, blending in with Yamen Runner, trying not to attract attention.
The county magistrate Guo Zhengshan greeted him with a smile on his face, "Chongxu True Person, it's been a long time no see, I'm sorry to thank you."
Old Taoist's name is Chongxu Zi, and he is the supervisor of Azure Ox Temple. Apart from the leader of the retreat practice, he can be regarded as the person with the highest Daoist practice in Guanzhong.
Seeing him coming in person, County Magistrate Guo Zhengshan was even more uneasy.
"Infinite longevity and blessing."
Chongxu Zi flicked the whisk, gave a ritual, and said calmly, "How dare a demon dare to come to Fengdu to cause trouble? I don't know whether to live or die."
"Lord County Lord, just leave this matter to me Azure Ox Temple. You just need to appease the people and don't let the rumors spread."
"Yes, yes."
County Magistrate Guo Zhengshan quickly raised his hand, "I have prepared some wine..."
"No need."
Chongxu Zi shook his head directly and said, "On this trip, I have other things to do besides slaying demons and demons, so I won't bother you. Magistrate Guo will send someone to show us the corpse."
"This... is good."
Guo Zhengshan pretended to be difficult, but felt relieved in his heart, and quickly ordered, "Changgui, take the Daoist priests to do the autopsy. If you have any requests, just cooperate. If anything goes wrong, you will be blamed!"
"Yes, sir."
Meng ChangGui quickly raised his hand, then showed a flattering smile, raised his hand and said, "Daoist priests, please follow me."
His family has passed down secret techniques, and he is the best at concealing his aura. With his rich experience in the martial arts world, he has not aroused suspicion among the Azure Ox Temple Daoists.
But Meng ChangGui had doubts in his heart.
He heard the information from Li Yan. These Azure Ox Temple Daoists may have problems, like being possessed.
But now it seems that there is no difference.
Even the ultimatum received no response.
Could it be that Li Yan is lying?
He was confused in his heart, but he kept walking and trotted all the way, leading Azure Ox Temple everyone to the room.
Before he even got close, Meng ChangGui lowered his eyebrows and said, "Daoist Master, all the people who died at the dock last night were placed here."
"Wait!"
Chongxu Zi Old Taoist suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickered, and said in a cold voice, "It's so shameful. You are so presumptuous even when you are parked in the public gate."
"Lingfeng Zi, disperse the bad energy!"
"Yes, Master!"
The Daoist behind him raised his hand seriously, then drew out Peach Wood Sword, held the sword in his right hand, pinched Entering the Taboo with his left hand, drew symbols in the air on the wooden sword, and stabbed Lianfang suddenly.
Poof!
As if a balloon had been punctured, there was an explosion of air, and instantly Yin Wind was everywhere, and black smoke came out from the crack in the door.
When Meng ChangGui saw it, he immediately trembled all over and said in a trembling voice, "Tao... Daoist Master, this... we..."
Naturally, he knew that the body was filled with devastation, and even deliberately ordered Yamen Runner to stay away, leaving it exclusively for Azure Ox Temple.
"Has anyone been here before and been in trouble?"
Then Lingfeng Zi asked patiently.
Meng ChangGui shook his head quickly, "The body died in a very miserable state. It was parked in the room and no one dared to approach it."
"That's good."
Lingfeng Zi nodded and followed Chongxu Zi into the room.
Meng ChangGui looked timid and stood outside the door waiting.
He couldn't help but be cautious.
This Azure Ox Temple is also related to Yin Changsheng.
The origin of its Daoist temple is related to Li LaoJun. It is said that he once practiced enlightenment on the mountain and left on a green bull, hence the name.
But Li LaoJun did not leave any teachings. Originally, there were only some lay Daoists practicing on the mountain.
Until later, Yin Changsheng practiced in famous mountains and not only handed down several "Elixir Scripture", but also spread the Daoism throughout Sichuan.
Many Taoisms in Sichuan are influenced by Yin Changsheng.
This Azure Ox Temple got a piece of <Zhongzhou Xiandu Temple Yin Zhenjun Golden Elixir Art>, and later got the Emeiwu Law Sword technique, and then gradually established its foundation and became one of the five flowers in "Five Flowers Eight Leaves".
And this Chongxu Zi has nothing to do with the "Yellow Spring" organization.
The reason is that the other party's master was once an Earth Immortal. Because he made some small mistakes and exposed his identity, Living Underworld Messenger took the task and sent him to the underworld.
Although what he did was right, the hatred was thus forged.
Meng ChangGui already has a guess in his mind.
It was probably a whistleblower from the Salt Gang, and Chongxu Zi saw an opportunity.
Bringing so many people down the mountain is just a lie to slay demons and demons, and they are probably here to raise troops to question their crimes.
Thinking of this, Meng ChangGui couldn't help but feel worried.
This bad-tempered Old Taoist is hard to offend and they will definitely use the situation to their advantage, but if Li Yan they avoid his edge and leave Fengdu, they will fall into the trap of the Salt Gang again.
Several masters of the key "Yellow Spring" organization are not here yet...
While he was thinking about countermeasures, the Daoists inside had already begun to inspect the corpses one by one and burned incense for divination.
After all, it was Orthodox Xuan Gate. I saw Lingfeng Zi holding a piece of Yellow Paper, pinching Entering the Taboo on the corpse, gently squirting Spraying Water, and Yellow Paper, and blood marks suddenly appeared on it.
Outlined by blood lines, a woman's figure vaguely appeared, but it was wrapped in blood clouds and became blurry.
What's even stranger is that the bloody cloud turned black again.
"Master, this is..."
Lingfeng Zi was stunned, he had never seen such a performance before.
Old Taoist Chongxu Zi looked at it and frowned, "It's Yaoyao. How could such a thing appear in Fengdu?"
"You go to the riverside and set up an altar, and we will do this tonight to suppress it."
"Master, then you..."
"Hmph! I'll go to the inn first."
After that, he held an oil-paper umbrella and headed straight to the Nostalgia Tower Inn in the east of the city without taking any disciples with him.
Azure Ox Temple is in Fengdu, how could he not send someone to investigate? Since the Salt Gang reported the news, Li Yan's movements are also under their control.
In the inn, Li Yan and others had just finished eating.
Suddenly, something moved in his heart and he looked outside the door.
I saw a white-clothed Old Taoist striding over with an oil-paper umbrella. As he walked, he made secrets, exhaled a stream of white breath, gathered on his fingertips, and then waved his hand.
Tsk!
On the street in front of the inn, rubble suddenly flew everywhere, and a deep sword mark appeared.
"I have something else to do tonight."
Chongxu Zi stood outside the door holding an umbrella and said coldly, "The monster will come back to you after we deal with it."
"Those who leave without authorization will die!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Everyone looked at each other, Sha LiFei looked at the sword mark at the door, his scalp numb and said, "Sword... Sword Immortal?"
"Not even!"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "This is called Heavenly Star Finger Technique, Emei Martial Arts."
"This Old Taoist is so angry..."
