It's <Longevity Immortal Treasury> again!

Li Yan looked solemn, and finally figured out many things.

Only his name is recorded in Ma SanTong and <Longevity Immortal Treasury>, but Li Yan has obtained all Devil Master information from Route 72 through several captures of demonic energy.

This thing was born from the evil spirits of ancient times and the epidemic air in the mountains. It often transformed into a red boy, riding the wind and sand, traveling around the world, and possessing people and harming them.

Compared with Yuan ZiMei and Ran Tong who passed down <Demonic Body Longevity Technique> and <Spirit Communication Longevity Technique>, Ma SanTong is a little weaker.

But Seventy-Two Demon Lords, almost all of them have unique skills.

This Ma SanTong is born as a spirit, and is best at possessing people. Unless it is protected by a secret method, the living body is almost like an open door to it, and it can move in and out as desired.

Not only that, this demon has another characteristic.

Because it is made from dead things, it can refine three things Dharma Treasure.

One is the fan, which can stir up wind and sand.

The second is gourd, which can cultivate poisonous poison.

The third is Qi Bag, which can absorb plague miasma.

With the combination of these Dharma Treasure, Ma SanTong is the walking Plague God, and it can also create three clones of itself.

It is mentioned in the records of the Yin Division that where the other party is, three boys with blood-red bodies can often be seen playing with three kinds of Dharma Treasure.

Therefore, it is called "Ma SanTong".

The one passed down is called <Qi Eating Longevity Method>, which swallows the miasma of Plague Poison all year round and uses it to live forever, just like a poisonous insect.

Azure Ox Temple, I'm afraid someone practices this evil spell...

After thinking about this, Li Yan stopped talking nonsense and said to the two of them, "Okay, let's go."

This time, it was the two of them's turn to be stunned.

Short and stocky man. "You won't kill us?"

Skinny man. "Don't play tricks..."

Li Yan glanced lightly, "If you don't leave, I might change my mind."

Before they finished speaking, the two of them rushed out of the door and disappeared in a flash.

They ran all the way and left Fengdu City in the night rain. However, they knew that a ritual was being performed by the river, so they left from behind Fengdu.

"Let's go find Lu Jiu?"

"It's just a shame to leak the news. Sichuan Salt Gang won't let us go. It's better to take advantage of the opportunity and leave as soon as possible."

"Also, Jinling or Tianjin, which one is not a prosperous place..."

The two discussed it in the woods and left immediately at night.

After they left, Li Yan appeared, glanced thoughtfully, and then returned to the inn.

"This old man is quite unlucky."

Sha LiFei gloated. "You are competing with us here, but you don't know that your nest is about to be overthrown."

"Now is not the time to be happy."

Wang Dao Xuan stroked his beard and shook his head. "In this situation, we really cannot do without Azure Ox Temple's help."

"Only if they catch Yaoyai can they remove us from suspicion and leave Commandery Commandant Office with no reason to take action."

"Azure Ox Temple also belongs to Emei, and is Orthodox Xuan Gate in Shuzhong. He has many friends. Exposing this matter will also make the Salt Gang so overwhelmed that they won't bother to cause trouble for us."

"The Daoist priest is right."

Li Yan nodded and said, "Azure Ox Temple Old Taoist Chongxu may be confused, but the more hateful thing is the Salt Gang. They are always looking for trouble along the way and must be eliminated."

"And that Purple-Faced Old Man!"

Anger also rose in Old Woman Bai Huan's eyes, "The one who cast spells to intercept you at Dragon Gate Gorge that day was named Yu Mo, and his master was Purple-Faced Old Man, named Wang MengSheng."

"This person is notoriously sinister. He was the one who led the rebels, destroyed the Daoist temple and released 'Guest in the Mist'. When we went up the mountain that day, it was probably this person who gave us advice."

"Now it seems that he has also come to Shuzhong."

Li Yan After hearing this, the murderous intention in his heart became even more intense, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get ready. If you don't destroy these bastards, you won't be able to sleep peacefully..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu San suddenly stood up:

"Azure Ox Temple Something happened over there!"

Wow!

The wind howled and the water surged.

At this moment, a strange scene appeared on the river:

In an area in the middle of the river, the water was calm and a large area of ice had condensed. There were a pair of footprints on it, and they stood motionless.

The surrounding water surged into the sky, forming a huge whirlpool.

Two invisible forces are confronting each other. The one on the outside seems to be powerful, but it is gradually falling behind.

The area of ice in the middle is expanding little by little.

The Wushan Priestess is a profound person, but she has no choice but to use secret methods to seal her body. She can be called a tyrannical existence of the living dead.

She is Divine Soul, far more powerful than those "Water Tiger".

Fusion with the spirit of evil, without the constraints of the physical body, Divine Soul fully exerts its power and becomes a real "demon".

Click!

On the Dharma altar, a Dharma flag suddenly broke.

A battalion of soldiers and horses completely dissipated.

"What an evil beast!"

Old Taoist Chongxu was shocked and angry.

He also didn't expect that this demon could actually devour soldiers and horses, not only destroying the foundation of his mountain sect, but also gradually growing stronger.

"Master, what should I do?"

Next to him, Lingfeng Zi was holding Hu Tablet, his face full of anxiety.

At this moment, Li Yan, Wang Dao Xuan and others also walked out of the city gate. Seeing this, they shouted, "Old Taoist, don't panic, I'll help you!"

"What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Yamen Runners saw this and quickly stopped him.

Meng ChangGui also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yamen Runner next to him, "You idiot, don't you see that something is wrong? Let the gentlemen talk about it."

He almost used Celestial Decree just now.

Unlike Li Yan, who runs around and is very easy to provoke, these Living Underworld Messengers don't have many chances to get Celestial Decree.

It was used to save one's life. How could it be like Li Yan, who had to summon Yinsi soldiers and horses when a gangster attacked him at night?

It's just a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

If Li Yan takes action, he doesn't need to reveal his identity.

But when Chongxu Zi saw Li Yan and others, his first reaction was anger, "How dare you come out!"

"Oh, you old coward!"

Sha LiFei stared and shouted, "We are here to help you out of kindness, why are you doing this!"

"To tell you the truth, this matter is a set-up. Their real target is you. I'm afraid you Azure Ox Temple have already been caught!"

"Nonsense!"

Chongxu Zi is still angry, his eyes are bloodshot.

At this time, even Lingfeng Zi noticed something was wrong, picked up Soul Calming Bell next to him, and at the same time chanted. "The Lord determines the emperor's decree, sweeps the universe, Twenty-Eight Mansions, seven stars line up, the universe begins to fight, the flying wolf will do it..."

This is Xuan Gate Spirit Calming Soul Fixing Spell, Wang Dao Xuan can also do it.

Soul Calming Bell is crisp and clear even in wind and rain.

Under the influence of the spell, Chongxu Zi also suddenly calmed down. He felt something was wrong in his heart, but he refused to wipe out his face. He said in a deep voice to Li Yan and others, "We will talk about this later. I'll get rid of this demon first!"

Click!

Just as he was speaking, another section of the Dharma flag broke.

Simply relying on the Ancestor Soldiers horse can no longer suppress this demon, it can only temporarily trap it.

Chongxu Zi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Lingfeng Zi, get 'Purple Qi Treasure Box'."

Lingfeng Zi heard it and immediately became anxious, "Master..."

"Bring it here."

Chongxu Zi sighed and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I'm in trouble this time because of my own selfish desires, but Azure Ox Temple's reputation cannot be lost. If we let the people from 'Yellow Spring' help, how can we have the face to gain a foothold in Eastern Sichuan in the future?"

"Yes, Master."

Lingfeng Zi understood immediately and quickly jumped down from the altar and took out a wooden box from the box guarded by his junior brother.

It looks like it was made by Blood Dragon Wood. It has a simple style, is old, and is black and purple.

"Master, give it."

Lingfeng Zi handed over the things with a face full of reluctance.

I saw Li Yan in the distance and became interested.

Sure enough, it is Orthodox Xuan Gate. Even if it is gone, there is still something at the bottom of the box. I just don't know what kind of treasure it is.

After taking Chongxu Zi, he first bowed respectfully to the wooden box, then opened it gently and took out a stick of Bamboo Strips.

Bamboo Strips is very old, with large seal characters written on the front, and cinnabar ink on the back, densely filled with scriptures and talismans.

"Get up and help me!"

Chongxu Zi gave the order, and the Daoists on the altar all sat cross-legged, holding Hu Tablet in their hands, and chanted in a deep voice:

"The ceremony of surrendering one's heart and soul to one's destiny, the innate Lord General, the Yiqi Divine Lord. Grand Spirit Official Who Corrects All in Heaven, a selfless and fierce general in the three realms, with golden eyes and red hair, the number is 35 Train Thunder Lord..."

The sound is very rhythmic, full of charm and majesty.

"It's Precious Edict of Wang Lingguan!"

Wang Dao Xuan was a little surprised after hearing this.

At the same time, Chongxu Zi is also holding Bamboo Strips, making the secret of Entering the Taboo, stepping on the steps, and worshiping in all directions.

Then, light Bamboo Strips and recite the mantra silently.

Phew~

Suddenly, the surrounding wind howled.

After Bamboo Strips burns, it turns into a line of blue smoke that condenses but does not disperse, rising rapidly into the sky.

Rumble!

Soon, there was thunder in the sky.

Li Yan's eyes twitched slightly and he looked up at the sky.

Those thunder sounds were different in his ears. It seemed like big drums were beating, and there were shouts of killing.

Unlike the last time he was in Mount Wudang's dream, no one could be seen this time, but the sudden changes in the sky were extremely clear.

This Wang Lingguan also controls the Thunder.

But unlike Thunder Department, it is good at using thunder and fire and has an extraordinary status in Xuanmen, so it is called "Grand Spirit Official Who Corrects All in Heaven".

Just last night, he had just fought with the secular gods in the human temple.

Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly shrank his neck.

The demon on the river seemed to be aware of the danger. The footprints on the ice kept flickering and appeared in all directions.

Obviously, I want to escape from this place.

But the remaining three battalions of Ancestor Soldiers horses also played a role at this moment. Although they could not subdue the demon, they could tightly entangle it.

Rumble!

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky.

Thunder and lightning tore through the sky, fell from the sky, illuminated the dark rainy night, and connected the sky and the earth almost instantly.

The ice surface in the center exploded instantly.

Even the Ancestor Soldiers horses around them immediately dived to the bottom of the lake and did not dare to move.

In front of this shocking thunder, the soldiers and horses had to shrink back.

When the ice exploded, the pair of footprints instantly collapsed, and the black mist dispersed, turning into the purest evil energy again.

Before it could escape, a bolt of thunder followed the traces of thunder and lightning, connecting heaven and earth again.

Phew~

The wind blew violently, and the demonic energy completely dissipated.

"Good guy!"

Sha LiFei was dumbfounded, "Liangzi Lake that time, it took Dragon Tiger Mountain's people several hours to summon the thunder. What magic weapon did Azure Ox Temple use?"

"This is not Refa."

Li Yan looked solemn and shook his head. "It's Lu Soldiers!"

That's right, he finally saw Daomen Lu Soldiers.

At that moment, he heard shouts of death coming from far and near, and the thunder also carried a sharp aura, as if someone was using thunder and fire as a weapon to fall from the sky and directly kill the monster.

This feeling is not Leifa at all.

No wonder, among all the Dharma soldiers and horses, the Xuanmen Lu Soldiers is the strongest, and even the Yinsi soldiers and horses are slightly inferior.

The soldiers and horses of the Yin Division need to be driven by the power of the netherworld.

But this Lu Soldiers uses the innate thunder gang as its blade.

That Bamboo Strips is also an incredible treasure.

When Orthodox Xuan Gate summons Lu Soldiers, it is necessary to hold a ritual ceremony a few days in advance, burn the yellow watch, and ask God to mobilize troops.

It also requires a large altar and many high-level assistants.

So what is the origin of Bamboo Strips?

Li Yan was also filled with curiosity.

But when Chongxu Zi Old Taoist saw that the demon was destroyed, it didn't seem strange at all. He just looked distressed and put the wooden box away again.

After doing this, he walked down from the altar, with a cold face, and said to Li Yan and others, "What did you want to say just now?"

This old man... is actually pretending.

Li Yan was a little speechless, but at this point, he was too lazy to care about it. He raised his hands and said solemnly, "Senior, there are earth immortals behind the Salt Gang who are plotting Azure Ox Temple because there are people on the mountain who practice the evil method of immortality..."

"Nonsense!"

As soon as he finished telling the story, Chongxu Zi became furious, "I, Azure Ox Temple, have suppressed the Eastern Sichuan evil spirits, worked hard, and dare not slack off at all. If you hear some rumors, you dare to tarnish the reputation of my orthodox religion."

"Old Taoist really doesn't know how to kill!"

"Master, calm down."

His disciple Lingfeng Zi was actually kind-hearted. After giving some advice, he handed Li Yan his hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist, but you were probably deceived by Wu FaLuo."

"This person is a lay disciple. He is too arrogant. As soon as he learned Heavenly Star Finger Technique, he started fighting with his brothers and hurting others."

"His master also had evil intentions. He was ordered to go to Chengdu Qingyang Palace. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos and stole other people's treasures. He was later hunted down and disappeared."

"We are also looking for him to find out about this matter, but he has never replied to Azure Ox Temple at all, let alone seen anything unusual about us."

"Look, everyone, do we seem to be possessed by evil spirits?"

Li Yan and Sha LiFei both looked at Chongxu Zi.

"What do you mean by Pindao!"

Chongxu Zi was immediately angry, but remembering what happened just now, he still suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I failed to practice the flying sword. I went crazy and hurt my heart. That's why my heart is burning. It's not possessed by something."

After Li Yan heard this, he thought deeply, "From this point of view, Wu FaLuo's words are probably false, but I'm afraid your religion may also have problems."

"The Salt Gang and the Earth Immortals will not waste their efforts."

"Have you ever heard of red children in Fengdu, holding fans, gourds and Qi Bag evil objects?"

Lingfeng Zi shook his head and said, "This is the first time I heard of it."

And when Li Yan finished speaking, a flash of shock flashed in Chongxu Zi's eyes, and then his face was filled with uncertainty, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Taoist, I believe you just once, come up the mountain with me."

"Let's go back to the mountain!"

After that, he hurriedly packed up his things and hurried back.

When the other disciples saw this, they didn't know why, but seeing Chongxu Zi's sullen face, no one dared to ask more questions.

Li Yan was thoughtful, and with a signal, he led everyone behind him.

Azure Ox Temple was not far from Fengdu City. When it was just dawn, they arrived and saw a hill standing there. It was neither high nor big, but it looked like a crouching cow. It was very interesting.

"What a treasure!"

When Wang Dao Xuan saw it, he immediately sighed in admiration.

But Chongxu Zi ignored it and rushed straight up the mountain.

But on the mountain terrace, there stood a large-scale Daoist temple. It was ancient. The autumn rain had stopped, the morning mist was lingering, and there were Daoists sweeping the floor outside. It was a peaceful scene.

Chongxu Zi then breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly, "Look, there are no bad guys coming up the mountain."

But Li Yan's complexion changed slightly, and the book in his arms suddenly became hot.

This is a sign of a mission...
