"Yan XiaoGe, what should I do?"

Sha LiFei asked in a low voice, his eyes full of dangerous light.

He had seen a lot and vaguely understood what happened to the warlock.

To put it simply, there are two kinds of Qi, Gang and Evil, circulating in this world, and there are many types of them. Ghosts and gods are born from them, and warlocks use them to perform spells.

But all they can do is borrow this power.

Just like Li Yan, you can use Thunder Gang to stimulate fascia and strengthen Martial Power, and you can also use Thunder Method to face the enemy.

But Gangsha Energy cannot be absorbed by the human body.

Therefore, as warriors age, their Qi and blood will deplete and their fighting power will weaken.

If a monk wants to live forever, he must either become a god, become an earthly immortal, a demon, or relive his life through methods such as returning to the yang or possessing a person.

In addition to ascending to the gods, these methods usually have hidden dangers.

In other words, anything is possible.

Ghosts are scary, but there are still Song Dingbo Sells a Ghost...

Iron Crutch Li's Daoism is so profound that after his body was destroyed, he could only accept his defeat and possess the ugly cripple...

Dragon Pool Village Dragon Girl has extraordinary feet and is considered an ordinary creature, but he was beaten down by a Daoist Dragon Suppression Stake and could not escape either...

As for Wushan Rogue Cultivator, all the earthly immortals were provoked by Li Yan, but they also kept their mouths shut, and no one dared to come forward...

This old man is very powerful, but he can still kill him if he finds his weakness.

For example, Wang Dao Xuan's "Seven Arrows Secret Curse", as long as his soul is immobilized and his body is destroyed with one shot, Li Yan can beat him to pieces!

And his New-Style Gunpowder happens to be very sufficient.

"No rush."

Li Yan looked at the direction in which Old Taoist disappeared, and said thoughtfully, "Being angry with this Old Taoist is just a trick of the Salt Gang."

"The Salt Gang dragged Azure Ox Temple into the water. It's not that simple. I guess they are also targets. Let's find out what's going on first."

After that, he winked, led everyone back to the inn, and whispered, "Brother Lu San, you should always pay attention to the movements around you. You will stay at the inn. With the help of senior Bai Huan, it will not be easy for anyone who wants to break in."

"I will use my escape method to leave later and find out what the Salt Gang has set up..."

Just like that, the atmosphere in Fengdu City became weird.

This small town is not big. After the news about the unlucky rogue came out, everyone knew that a group of Over the River Dragon lived in the Nostalgia Tower inn, and no one dared to mess with him anymore...

Li Yan and others are staying at the inn, they look very honest...

Yan Gang, Azure Ox Temple, Yamen and Commandery Commandant Office, countless pairs of eyes were all staring at them.

The people of Fengdu City paid more attention to the dock.

On the riverside, a towering altar has been built. Although it was guarded by Yamen Runner and prohibited from approaching, the people who worked came back and said that the altar was built one foot high and a lot of wood was cut on the mountain.

Many people are burning incense at home, hoping that the demons have been subdued and Fengdu City can return to its former peace.

Before you know it, night falls.

It was sunny for a while in the afternoon, but in the evening, the cold autumn rain fell again, freezing people's bones.

On the bank of the river, several large fire pits were burning.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The raindrops fell and were evaporated by the hot iron basin.

"Master, it's okay."

Daoist Lingfeng Zi checked the altar again and came back to report.

"Hmm."

Old Taoist Chongxu had already put on his cassock and nodded, but maybe he had been sitting for too long. When he stood up, he shivered and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Master, how about I do it..."

Lingfeng Zi saw this and said hesitantly.

Old Taoist Chongxu Looking at the young face of his disciple, he seemed to remember that he had also said this to his master.

An unknown fire suddenly rose, and he reprimanded in a cold voice. "That is a monster, not an ordinary spirit. You are young and inexperienced. What if you run away!"

"Yes, Master."

The young Daoist shrank his head and backed away quickly.

Chongxu Zi also took a few deep breaths, letting the cold wind suppress his annoyance, straightened his robe, and said in a deep voice, "Start!"

There were several disciples holding musical instruments under the altar.

There are not only small gongs and drums, but also bamboo tubes similar to fishing drums.

This thing is called Sichuan Bamboo Zither, also called "Da Dao Bucket".

Don't underestimate these musical instruments. They are also mandala ritual instruments, and various religious rituals can be traced back to the ancient tribal era.

At that time, witchcraft was performed to the rhythm of drums, performing Nuo dances to entertain the gods, or to communicate with ghosts and gods and perform divination.

Following the Old Taoist command, the music suddenly started playing.

He straightened his clothes, held Hu Tablet in both hands, silently recited Facing Heaven Incantation, stepped on Four Directions Step, and bent his body slightly, as if going to court, waiting for the wooden ladder to go up to the altar.

Behind him, there were also several Daoist priests.

Although the movements are the same, the styles of the robes are different.

Three-Layer Altar, there are five people at the bottom, representing the five directions and five elements, and there are three people in the middle, representing Sun Moon Star, the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

And Old Taoist Chongxu, went to the top.

In the heavy cold rain, he calmly lit the incense and candles, arranged the offerings and ritual vessels, and Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, as if climbing up the steps, sprayed Spraying Water, took the decree, and took three consecutive shots on the altar.

As he finished reciting the incantation, he immediately pinched his hands and pointed forward in the military tactics.

"Edict!"

Whoosh!

On the altar, five small flags were erected in unison.

At the same time, a strong wind roared from the east, and the water on the river suddenly surged.

The principle of sending troops to conquer evil is very simple.

For example, Fierce Ghost essences are mostly intangible things that were born due to Yin Energy. They gather, disperse, and are hidden underground, in mountains, tombs, and other places.

If you are attracted by the yang energy of a living person, you will come out to cause trouble.

Their existence cannot be seen by ordinary people, and their hiding places cannot be reached by humans. For this matter, soldiers and horses can be summoned to search the mountains and capture them.

After being caught, it all depends on the Daoist Priest's choice whether to suppress or kill him.

Mingshan is a special place. Monks cannot live there for a long time, let alone raise soldiers and horses, so Azure Ox Temple uses the ancestor Five Camps of Soldiers.

Although he and Qingcheng Mountain are both "five flowers", their strength is not even the slightest difference, and their soldiers and horses are about the same as those of ordinary Dharma veins.

He is more famous for his swordsmanship.

Wow!

Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses rushed in wrapped in Gangsha Energy. The waves on the river became more and more turbulent, as if there was an invisible dragon rolling up and down.

Old Taoist Chongxu was not in any hurry, closing his eyes and looking at the wooden fish in the wind and rain.

Sending troops to capture evil spirits is not that fast.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of the wooden fish is still clear in the strong wind of the river waves.

In the inn, Li Yan also pinched Mystical Gestures.

"Nogao! Tianzhen Taisu, the essence of Rengui, should be stored in the kidney..."

As Profound Water Escape was used, the whole person was wrapped in water mist and disappeared quickly. In the blink of an eye, the room was empty.

Outside the open window, the wind and rain were shaking.

Arriving at the riverside, Li Yan immediately saw Old Taoist who was casting a spell.

The underworld contact person Meng ChangGui led a group of Yamen Runner to guard the perimeter.

Li Yan deliberately approached. Meng ChangGui, who was also pregnant with ultimatums, immediately noticed it. He quickly covered his stomach and grinned. "Oh~ I'm afraid I've eaten something bad. Just watch. I'll come as soon as I can."

After that, he held his stomach and ran into the nearby dense forest.

He felt the ultimatum, and although he was amazed at Li Yan's superb escape skills, his expression remained unchanged. While pretending to relieve himself, he whispered, "Old Taoist's master violated a taboo, and our brothers took over the task after he came down from the mountain."

"This Old Taoist came out to plead for mercy, but there is nothing we brothers can do. If we don't finish it, we will fall into the netherworld, so we have formed a grudge."

"It seems like they are causing trouble for you, but in fact they are forcing us to show up. Elder Wei Wuchang is on his way back."

"Don't worry, as long as he is here, Azure Ox Temple can't make waves..."

After that, he turned around and left the dense forest.

There are natural reasons for being so cautious.

Sure enough, as soon as he went out, a Daoist opposite him withdrew his gaze.

Wei Wuchang?

Li Yan knows this name.

It is the Daoist friend Living Underworld Messenger whom the old woman Bai Huan befriended.

Judging from the attitude of other people in Yellow Springs Organization, he should be a powerful master.

It turns out that Old Taoist's anger comes from here.

His master made a mistake and was killed. He must have been angry at that time.

Now that he has also broken the agreement, the other party will naturally cause trouble.

What a disaster...

After learning the reason, Li Yan was a little speechless.

Of course, leaving is impossible.

Commandery Commandant Office's people had already set up an ambush on the waterway leading to Chongqing Prefecture, and had also prepared firearms.

If they don't resist, they will be shot to death.

If we take action, we will have no choice but to flee everywhere from now on.

Great Xuan Dynasty's national power is at its peak, and the court's laws are strict. Both Daoism and Jianghu are controlled by it. The leaders of all orthodox religions will find time to go to the capital to worship.

In Shaanzhou and Ezhou, he used the power of the imperial court to deal with ghost sects.

But it is equally uncomfortable when a gangster takes advantage of his power and puts it on his head.

If we want to break the situation, we must find out the Salt Gang.

Thinking of this, Li Yan turned around and headed towards Fengdu City.

Inside the warehouse, there are two more Salt Gang spies.

He doesn't have much time, so these two baits can only be used in advance...

Phew~

On the second floor of the warehouse, a cold wind suddenly blew.

"Who?!"

The two people who had fallen asleep immediately got up, holding weapons in hand and looking around.

But it was pitch dark inside the warehouse, with only the windows wide open, letting in a cold breeze wrapped in light rain.

"Laozi, why don't you close the window!"

The stocky man cursed and lay down again.

Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was not ready to take action.

The other skinny spy had no choice but to close the window.

Bang!

Halfway through, he fell to the ground instantly.

And Li Yan also showed its figure in the water mist.

Every escape method has a weakness. You must always maintain your skills and maintain your skills. Once attacked, it will be exposed.

A wise person can try his best to hide this weakness.

Just like the assassin who asked Luo MingZi to help him in Chang'an, Li Yan, he used Shadow Escape without any gaps in his attacks.

But obviously, the other party was able to do this at a great cost. At that time, he became obsessed with him, and later disappeared and was never seen again.

But to deal with these two people, there is no need at all.

"Look at the escort!"

The stocky man reacted extremely quickly. Lying on the bed, he rolled upright and threw the pillow over with a flick of his wrist.

This man looks honest and honest, but is actually cunning.

There was a cloth bag in the pillow, filled with lime and poisonous powder.

Saying "Watch the escort" is to make Li Yan look down upon.

As long as it is broken, it will be covered with lime poison powder.

This is something only old Jianghu people know how to do.

Everywhere he sets foot, various traps will be laid.

Sure enough, when the other party threw the pillow, he jumped out of bed, Hidden Strength exploded under his feet, his body jumped out instantly, and his big dustpan-like hands pinched Li Yan's throat.

Li Yan had no expression on his face and leaned sideways to avoid the pillow. Pigua Palm raised his hand to tease and swung away the opponent's claws. Then Red Fist slapped Silk Winding Hand and grabbed the opponent's wrist.

And this guy responded very promptly.

Seeing that his wrist was locked, he didn't pull it out at all. Instead, he used his strength to turn his body, raised his elbow and followed Groin Sweeping Kick.

A series of actions with a fierce momentum.

However, the gap in skill cannot be bridged.

Li Yan has stepped into Transformed Strength early, and a man can barely Hidden Strength. It is not the same level at all.

Bang!

Li Yan The strength in his hand changed, and with a slight flip, the man screamed and fell to his knees.

"Po Pan Gate?"

Li Yan also recognized this person's legs at once.

Without him, the boxing style is too obvious.

Po Pan Gate is also a big sect in Sichuan. He is good at judging the situation and looking for opportunities to fight. He grabs the enemy before the opportunity and makes up for the attack from behind. He is known as preferring to lose to the front rather than to the rear.

"Hmph!"

This short and stocky man knew he was outmatched, but he was also stubborn. He snorted and cursed, "Laozi, kill me if you want, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Okay!"

Li Yan raised his palm as he did.

"No, no, no!"

The man was very anxious, "You are really going to kill me, why don't you ask me?"

Li Yan said calmly, "What do you ask?"

The Hanzi was at a loss for words, "We have to talk about it..."

Li Yan sneered, "You guys probably don't know much and are too lazy to put in the effort."

"And the one underground, if you move around again, I'll kill you first!"

The skinny man who was pretending to be dead on the ground heard this, touched the hand on the flying knife at his waist, retracted it, stood up and said awkwardly, "Young hero, if you have something to say, you are just seeking money. We have no intention of selling our lives to others."

"Yes, yes!" The short and stocky man nodded quickly, "It's just such a small amount of money. If you die, you'll lose a lot."

"Okay!"

Li Yan didn't waste any time, he pushed the short and stocky man away and said in a deep voice, "What are your positions in the Salt Gang, and what exactly do Lu Jiu want to do?"

"We are not from the Salt Gang."

The skinny man looked embarrassed, clasped his fists and said, "This is 'Guo QianShan', and that is 'Iron Hand Chen', who lives on the Shuzhong Road to make a living."

"The Salt Gang hired a lot of people as rewards. Our brothers were introduced by the fifth master in charge, Wang LaoYi. This time we were ordered to assist Lu Jiu, and we are not familiar with him."

"On weekdays, I just give you a few blows. I hope you can forgive me."

"Hmm."

Li Yan was not surprised after hearing this.

These are the real people in the world. They will join in when there is a benefit, but will give in when danger comes.

"Lu Jiu is plotting against me. What do you want to do?"

Li Yan Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and asked in a deep voice.

"This... I don't know either."

The skinny man replied with a smile. Seeing Li Yan's face turn gloomy, he quickly said, "Don't worry, I did see something."

"Lu Jiu also obeyed orders. When I went to join, I saw Purple-Faced Old Man from the window on the ship. He looked very strange..."

"Also, they are lurking nearby and asked us brothers to monitor them. We were waiting for you to confront Azure Ox Temple and reported them immediately, but unexpectedly a demon came to cause trouble..."

"Purple-faced old man."

Li Yan's face changed slightly, "Where are they hiding?"

The skinny man said quickly, "Hiding at the foot of Azure Ox Temple mountain."

"By the way, they also asked us to pay attention to whether we have seen any children with fans, gourds and bags near Fengdu City."

Li Yan didn't take it seriously at first, but his expression changed after hearing it.
