The Gouji has indeed been strengthened a lot.
Li Yan made a judgment instantly.
On weekdays, you have to be close to or directly come into contact with the traces of demonic energy for Gouji to react.
But now I have noticed it even before I get close to the Daoist temple.
Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately sensed it.
In an instant, the surroundings were enveloped in fog.
But it is different from the past. Before, it was foggy and nothing could be seen. But now, the fog has obviously lightened up and you can see the scene a hundred meters away.
Li Yan pursed his lips slightly, and his heart was pounding.
Through this method, Yin Changsheng learned many secrets of the world, perhaps even more than Old Ancestor Wang Chan Stele Forest did at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Li Yan looked around carefully.
Within a hundred meters, the ground was completely sandy, with no grass growing on it. It was sparse and normal, and nothing out of the ordinary could be seen.
But a hundred meters away, it was all thick fog.
Only directly in front of him, there were two huge black shadows in the thick fog.
Li Yan's heart moved and he turned around.
Sure enough, no matter which way he turned, those two huge black shadows always moved and appeared right in front of him.
Li Yan It suddenly became clear.
Those two black figures are where the mission is received.
Recalling that before, he had pushed through the thick fog and wandered around, but in the end he was always able to find the mission acceptance point. It turned out to be this reason.
Without hesitation, Li Yan continued to move forward.
As the distance got closer, the two black figures also revealed their true forms, but they were two bronze vessels three feet high.
Although it looks very old, it has not developed a patina, but a light golden color with a coppery luster.
Li Yan was stunned when he saw it.
He had seen this thing in his previous life!
Owl Zun!
The so-called "owl" is an owl, also known as an owl.
Some people speculate that the owl is a magical bird for merchants, but since the Zhou Dynasty, its reputation has continued to deteriorate.
Moreover, this thing is also related to a big shot.
Fu Hao!
In the previous life, this thing was found in the tomb of Fu Hao.
This thing is also related to war.
"The most important thing of the country is to worship the soldiers."
If "Houmuwu Ding" is the first "sacrificial" vessel in the Bronze Age of the previous life, then Fu Hao Owl Zun is the first "rong" vessel.
It is said that owl is also associated with night and dreams.
Li Yan vaguely feels that there may be some kind of connection...
Two Owl Zun stand on the left and right, forming a passage, but there is nothing else.
Li Yan tried to take a step forward.
In an instant, the surrounding scene changed drastically, and a well appeared.
So that's it...
The Netherworld Division uses Owl Zun to communicate with them!
Holding back his excitement, Li Yan observed again.
This time, two wells appeared at the same time.
An ordinary Stone Well, with black water spinning, means that there are conspirators nearby who are disturbing the underworld, or Returning Yang One, or those who are using evil methods to extend their lives.
The other one, Black Well Blood Water, represents the evil energy escaping from the human world.
Li Yan has seen these things several times, and they are not unusual.
What shocked him was his surroundings.
In the past, there was thick fog and nothing could be seen.
But now, the fog has faded and it is clearly visible within a hundred meters.
The surrounding ground is all made of ancient sandstone granulite, which seems to have been polished by something, barely keeping it flat.
In addition, several towering pillars can be seen in the distance, as well as half of a big foot, wearing official boots, standing next to Zhu Zi.
But everything is very blurry.
After Li Yan saw it, Spiritual Light flashed in his mind.
What Zhu Zi is, it's clearly a desk!
But those big feet are too amazing. The tops of their feet are taller than him. Could it be that they are all giants from the underworld gods?
Thinking of this, Li Yan turned around and looked behind Owl Zun.
I'm afraid it's not that others have become bigger, but that he has become smaller!
Everything in front of me was completely beyond common sense. It was the first time for Li Yan to see it, so I didn't dare to show it too obviously to avoid being discovered.
If you come here more often, you will probably find the trick.
Thinking of this, he quickly took a few steps forward.
The first thing to check is Black Well Blood Water.
Sure enough, the escaping evil spirit came from Ma SanTong.
The rock Stone Coffin coffin wraps Bronze Coffin, and inside lies a blood-colored shadow in the shape of a child, which was also pierced by a bronze cone.
The difference is that this Ma SanTong is in a gaseous state, with three pieces of gourd, fan, Qi Bag and Dharma Treasure suspended in the center.
Although Dharma Treasure has an outline, it is still in a gaseous state and was pierced by a bronze awl. Only the awl of Qi Bag pulled out a section.
Li Yan looks a little familiar.
Isn't this the same as his Five Directions Fengdu Banner?
Is it possible that Great Luo Dharma Realm magic weapons all look like this?
It seems that this Ma SanTong only escaped from a ray of demonic energy, but it also brought out the aura of "Qi Bag" Dharma Treasure.
This thing is just a leather bag. If the prediction is correct, it must be attached to a bag-type magic weapon...
After accepting the mission, the reward is indeed the divine power.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yan turned to the second well.
But after reading it, he was a little surprised.
The culprit is someone else...
After another trance, Li Yan has regained consciousness.
There is an obvious time difference between the space inside and outside the Gouliao.
He has now experienced an improvement in his Daoism, but it only took him a short breath to finish Old Taoist Chongxu's sarcastic words.
Others were a little suspicious when they heard it.
The peaceful scene in front of me really didn't look like anything was going on.
"What's the matter with Daoist Master?"
Li Yan said with a calm face, "The Daoist Master is willing to let us follow him up the mountain, but I'm afraid he has some doubts in his heart."
"If we don't figure things out, it will be a hidden danger after all... What do you think?"
Old Taoist Chongxu After hearing this, his eyes were filled with uncertainty, and then he turned around and coldly snorted, "Lingfeng Zi, let someone open the mountain gate to welcome the guests!"
"Yes, Master!"
Young Daoist Lingfeng Zi respectfully handed over his hand.
At this moment, doubts arose in his heart.
Old Taoist Chongxu seems to be hard-spoken, but the etiquette is another matter.
You must know that opening the mountain gate to welcome guests is a courtesy given to formally receive fellow Daoists of the same kind, and it is two different things than entering through the side door.
With such an appearance, I'm afraid I'm asking for help from others...
Lingfeng Zi's head was spinning, and he suddenly understood the intention.
My master has a bad temper and wants to save face. He has offended people before, and he is still like this. If he says soft words again, he will be slapped in the face.
I'm afraid I have to do this thing of bowing my head myself.
Thinking of this, Lingfeng Zi's attitude became gentler, he smiled and raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please move forward and follow me."
While walking, he also introduced, "According to legend, when Laojun left Hangu Pass in the west, he left a green cow that turned into a mountain, and this is where it is."
"I, Azure Ox Temple, was first built in Qin Dynasty. Later, it was renovated after several wars, and it was managed by generations of seniors, so it can reach such a scale..."
Everyone followed through the arch gate and entered the Daoist temple.
This Daoist temple does have many traces of repairs. Some of the bricks and stones are old, while others are relatively new. There are also Feng Shui arrays arranged.
They have been to many Daoists, including Tai Bai Mountain Dipper Mother Palace, Hua Mountain Pure Yang Palace, and Mount Wudang Golden Summit. The Azure Ox Temple in front of them is really nothing.
The only special thing is the Guanzhong Hall.
It is simple and grand, still maintaining the style of the Qin Dynasty.
In the Daoist temple, you can see green bamboo forests everywhere. The autumn rain has just fallen, the green and gloomy, withered and yellow bamboo leaves falling all over the ground.
In the temple, both naturalized Daoist priests and lay disciples were all dressed in plain Daoist robes. Some were sweeping the floor, and some were practicing martial arts. They looked very orderly.
"I've seen the prison."
"I've seen the prison."
When Daoists saw Chongxu Zi along the way, they all saluted and greeted him.
"Yuan Qing, come here."
Chongxu Zi called a tall Daoist priest and asked in a deep voice, "I ask you, was there anything unusual in the meditation last night?"
This Daoist should be "Patrol Officer", who is responsible for the etiquette in the temple and maintaining the order and safety of the Daoist temple.
He saluted and said solemnly, "Uncle Master came down the mountain last night to slay the demons. We burned incense and chanted sutras to cooperate. As a result, two Ancestor Soldiers Altars in the temple exploded, and the remaining three also suffered heavy losses..."
"We'll talk about this later!"
Chongxu Zi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "What I want to ask is, was there anyone sneaking in secretly last night?"
"When I returned to my uncle, I didn't find anything."
The man was a little confused and shook his head quickly.
"Hmm."
Chongxu Zi nodded slightly, expressionless, and said to Lingfeng Zi, "Take your distinguished guest to Quiet Room. I'll change my clothes and come right away."
"Yes, Master."
Lingfeng Zi quickly raised his hand, "Everyone, please follow me."
After that, he led everyone to a Quiet Room and served tea to everyone, "Everyone, this is Fengdu local Azure Dragon Tea. Song Era has been growing it since Song Era. There are also some osmanthus cakes, all made by Guanzhong Temple Chef."
"Everyone, wait a moment, the master will be here soon."
After he left, Sha LiFei couldn't help but asked, "Yan XiaoGe, what's going on? Are we making a mistake?"
Li Yan whispered, "Didn't you notice that Old Taoist's attitude has become a little more friendly? I'm afraid the things in the audience are not small."
"Everyone, be ready to take action at any time!"
In order to prevent accidents, this time in addition to "Fast Boat Zhang" and the boatman's disciples, even the people from the Bai family also followed up the mountain, and they were all equipped with weapons.
Hearing Li Yan's words, Old Woman Bai Huan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "There is indeed something wrong."
"On the road, I looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers. The vegetation was gloomy, the forests were dense, and there were several swamps and depressions, which are most likely to breed miasma, but I didn't notice them just now."
Long Yan'er, who was beside her, also said thoughtfully, "I have seen this kind of situation before. Someone in the Gu sect practiced the secret method of miasma, and this is what happened."
As he said that, he raised his white palm, and there was a small silkworm lying on it. It was golden yellow, but its skin was as hard as an insect beetle.
Golden Silkworm Gu?
Li Yan glanced meaningfully but said nothing.
This Long Yan'er's feet are considered extraordinary, but his mind is not simple either. He always wants to inquire and join their team, consciously or unconsciously.
Now, even Golden Silkworm Gu is showing it, clearly trying to say that he is very useful, but Li Yan will not take issue with it.
Long Yan'er Seeing that he was indifferent, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and found that the golden silkworm had disappeared without a trace.
Li Yan ignored it, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus, picked up the osmanthus cake next to it, put it into his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "What a craftsmanship, I didn't expect there is a chef general in this Azure Ox Temple!"
The professions of cooks include Imperial Chef, Yamen Chef, Sichu, etc. Among Daoists, Temple Chef should be the one who is good at making vegetarian dishes.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is sweet but not greasy, leaving a fragrant aroma in your mouth.
This skill is definitely that of a chef general.
When everyone else heard this, they also picked it up to eat, but Wu Ba couldn't even taste enough of it. He was so anxious that he was sweating and looking around.
Wang Dao Xuan smiled slightly and handed over his plate. The same person who also handed over his plate was Long Yan'er.
"Delicious, delicious!"
Wu Ba took it with a silly smile, stuffed it into his mouth, and kept squealing and nodding, his eyes narrowed with joy.
When everyone saw this, they were all smiling, which relaxed the atmosphere a bit.
Squeak~
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Old Taoist Chongxu and Lingfeng Zi, who had changed their clothes, walked in.
Although the two of them were wearing Daoist uniforms, they both held magical weapons.
"Lingfeng Zi, close the door!"
Old Taoist Chongxu looked gloomy.
Lingfeng Zi seemed to know something, so he quickly closed the door and hung a bronze charm on it to block Divine Ability's exploration.
"Everyone, something did happen in the temple..."
Chongxu Zi Old Taoist did not sit down, but directly said, "The man just now is Patrol Officer'Yuan Qing of this temple, responsible for patrolling the mountain gate."
"He is left-handed, but he salutes with his right hand, and his walking posture is abnormal. He is obviously injured, but he said nothing to me."
"Also, he has a good relationship with Master Wu FaLuo Kumu..."
Li Yan After listening, he was thoughtful, and then asked, "Senior, do you know that I mentioned the bloody boy demon before?"
Now that things have happened, Chongxu Zi is no longer arrogant, and said solemnly, "I have indeed heard that it was during the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty, when Shu was relatively stable, but Central Plains was in chaos and many people moved here."
"There were demons mixed among them, which caused a lot of trouble. At that time, there was a demon named Plague Taoist Jianghuai, who released plague everywhere, and then used talismans to dissolve the plague, trying to confuse people's hearts and destabilize the land of Shu."
"Wherever he goes, people often see bloody boys, but everyone who sees them will be infected and will die within three days of returning home."
"Qingyang Palace has a master who came and joined forces with the then host Azure Ox Temple to suppress this monster. However, the opponent's magic weapon Human Skin Pouch was split into two and suppressed in two places."
"Pindao looked at it before and found that the one suppressed in Azure Ox Temple has disappeared. At that time, there was a fire in Chengdu Qingyang Palace, and it was said that a jade plate was lost, but the real purpose of Kumu is probably this thing!"
"Everyone, Yuan Qing is 'Patrol Officer'. He has done many things secretly. I cannot trust other people for the time being."
"I heard that you are wandering immortals. I am willing to reward you with several 'Heavenly Spiritual Treasure' locations in Sichuan. Please help me settle this matter."
"Also, please keep it confidential afterward."
"Okay."
Li Yan nodded in agreement without hesitation, then stood up and said calmly, "Senior, I have a clue, let's set off."
Chongxu Zi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He has lived in Fengdu for so long that he has vaguely guessed that it is related to Living Underworld Messenger's methods.
Everyone left Quiet Room, Li Yan looked to the east and asked, "Where is it over there?"
Chongxu Zi said, "That is the vegetable garden, and the herbs grown in the temple. Farther away, there are deep mountains and dense forests. Over several mountains, there are native people living there."
"It's over there, let's go."
Chongxu Zi was stunned and frowned. "Then Yuan Qing..."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "If Guanzhong takes action, innocent people will inevitably be hurt. Don't worry, if we guess correctly, they will stop them on the road."
Chongxu Zi nodded, and then with a signal, Lingfeng Zi led the way towards the east side of the Daoist temple.
Their large group immediately attracted the attention of many people, but with Chongxu Zi, the Daoist priest in the temple did not dare to ask any more questions.
Only 'Patrol Officer' Yuan Qing watched from a distance, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then left quickly.
When we left the Daoist temple, we found a piece of Medicine Field, which were common herbs and were mainly used to treat diseases of the people down the mountain.
Above the hook, a piece of coldness showed the direction.
Li Yan led everyone through Medicine Field. As soon as they entered a dense forest, Li Yan frowned slightly and came to a big tree.
Clang!
Suddenly, he took out his sword and split the tree trunk.
It was hollow inside, and a corpse popped out.
"Why is it him?"
Sha LiFei was stunned when he saw it.
The body was decomposed and had been dead for many days, but the face could still be recognized.
It was none other than Wu FaLuo who was caught by them at Shennongjia and told about the abnormality of Azure Ox Temple...
