"Qing Jia! God saves people and takes strict control of Beifeng. The gods are ordered to sweep away the ominous, eight powerful spit poisons, four fierce horses. Tianding leads the way, the commander's banner..."

In the main room, Li Yan Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, pinching the hand and chanting the incantation.

Although there are ways to deal with it, people can still be saved.

These people in the theater troupe blocked the curse for the Zhou family because of the bad warlock's bad moves. <North Emperor Calamity Removal Technique> is the most suitable name.

Phew~

As he chanted the incantation, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the house.

Dust was flying all over the sky, forming a vortex around the three people on the ground.

The theater troupe in the house quickly shielded themselves from the wind and sand with their hands. They were dumbfounded and felt chills in their hearts.

They could feel that this originally dilapidated house seemed to be enveloped by a kind of power, cold and majestic, as if they had entered a temple or entered a government hall.

Threads of black smoke emerged from the bodies of the three people on the ground, carrying a fishy stench of rotten fish and shrimps, and were blown away by the strong wind.

Li Yan's brows were also furrowed.

This <North Emperor Calamity Removal Technique> is extremely powerful and can be easily lifted by ordinary spells.

This was the first time since he learned it that he had to work so hard.

It took half a pack of cigarettes to completely dissipate the Yin Energy on those people, and the originally swollen and black faces finally returned to normal.

Li Yan quickly put Mystical Gestures away and took a breath secretly.

Even he found it difficult to maintain the spell for a long time.

Wang Dao Xuan, on the other hand, immediately stepped forward, first lit the mugwort in his hand, kneaded the secrets and recited a mantra to disperse the bad luck in the room, and then took the pulses of several people.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

In the worried eyes of others, Wang Dao Xuan stood up and said, "This spell is very vicious. It turns the blood into Guishui Poison and drains it out. When the black water is drained, you will die."

"Although the curse has been solved, the loss of yang energy has been too great. I will give you a prescription. You can recover after two or three months of rest."

"Thank you, Daoist Master."

"Thank you, Daoist Master."

Everyone in the troupe burst into tears of gratitude.

"Well..."

At this moment, the man lying in the middle also woke up faintly. After listening to the person next to him telling what happened, he couldn't help crying, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

He is the elder brother who calls the shots in the troupe.

The people next to me quickly comforted me, "Senior Brother, I don't blame you, I blame this world for never treating us as human beings."

"Yes, you should recover quickly. The whole family is counting on you..."

After everyone comforted him, the man fell asleep again.

Wang Dao Xuan then opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, please remember my instructions. Remember, pretend to be a bit more attractive and don't show your flaws."

"Yes, thank you, Daoist Master."

After some warnings, Wang Dao Xuan and Li Yan left the yard.

"Daoist Priest, what kind of trick is this?"

As soon as he returned to the dilapidated mansion, Li Yan asked.

"It's very simple."

Wang Dao Xuan took out the Chongqing Prefecture map they had obtained in advance, found the Zhou family's location, and pointed to the northwest.

There, there is a Dragon King Temple.

"This is a divine curse."

Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice, "When the poor man heard that it was Raft Sect, he thought of this. Folk witchcraft, Attendant ghosts and gods, can not only protect the body and exorcise evil spirits, but also use the power of ghosts and gods to harm people."

"Dragon King Temple must be opening an altar to cast spells over there."

"The methods of relief usually include the methods of confusing the gods, punishing the gods, defeating the gods, Calamity Shifting Method and cultivating the body. The warlock uses Calamity Shifting Method."

"The drama originally originated from the ritual of entertaining the gods. <Dragon Slaying Platform> This drama is to challenge the god of incense and fire Dragon King Temple, which will naturally attract the disaster curse. The poor Daoist makes them change their faces and hang Bagua Mirror upside down, which is the method of confusing the gods."

"As soon as this method is used, Evil Curse will be suspended until everyone in the theater troupe leaves before it explodes."

Li Yan suddenly understood, "Then the warlock and the Zhou family will be in trouble?"

Wang Dao Xuan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Originally, it is normal for both sides to fight each other and use their own methods. But the warlock deliberately showed off, and the Zhou family does not want to suffer losses. If ordinary people are implicated, they will bring it upon themselves!"

"Well done, Daoist Master!"

Li Yan also nodded, smiled, and gave a thumbs up.

Sha LiFei on the side also praised him repeatedly, but he was a little absent-minded and said in a deep voice, "Yan XiaoGe, that guy hasn't come yet, so he probably ran away with the money. He's a coward, and he's too unruly."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Forget it."

"This Chongqing Prefecture is indeed a bit chaotic. Some people are casting spells to harm people in the city. I begged City God Temple, but no one paid any attention."

"Most people have already run away, let's go alone."

"Alas~"

Sha LiFei also sighed and cursed, "Money is a trivial matter. The key is that people who hold back their breath are so panicked that they hunt geese all day long and get pecked by the birds in their hometown."

"Forget it, it's just a little thief."

Li Yan quickly comforted him, he had seen too many vicious people, but he could take such trivial matters lightly.

Thinking of this, Li Yan turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan again, "Daoist Priest, do you think those people can survive the disaster tonight safely?"

Wang Dao Xuan stroked his beard and said, "I'm afraid they will make a mistake."

Li Yan pondered for a moment, "Well, since I have nothing to do tonight, I will go and check it out. If Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet reacts, most of the things Dragon Girl wants me to investigate will fall on this 'Pai Sect Dragon King'."

This is what he cares about.

Even if he doesn't deal with it for the time being, he still needs to find out the reason first. After all, it's about Dragon Girl, and he feels a little uncomfortable being constantly being paid attention to.

"Okay."

Wang Dao Xuan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I don't know how to escape yet, and it will inevitably be a drag if I go. Let me tell you how to deal with it if there is an accident."

Sha LiFei said, "That kid ran away. It's better to get the information as soon as possible. I'll dress up later and go to Rumor Inn."

Li Yan nodded, "Okay, let San Er go with you."

Sha LiFei is Lao Jianghu, Lu San Beast Controlling Technique is magical, even if it enters the city, it can still monitor all directions.

Chongqing Prefecture There are so many people that you can escape even if you are discovered.

After the tasks are assigned, everyone prepares individually.

Seeing dusk approaching, Sha LiFei and Lu San simply disguised themselves and took advantage of the thick fog to go out.

They got the map, asked passers-by, walked through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at Hongya Cave.

Hongya Cave at this time is a little different from his previous life.

Former Dynasty Da Xing and Golden Horde Wolf Country were facing each other from north to south. At that time, Chongqing Prefecture built the city and built seventeen gates, nine open, eight closed, according to Daoist techniques.

Hongyamen is the "closed door" among them.

It was a military fortress at that time, and wars continued. However, with the Great Xuan Dynasty unifying the north and the south, the war ended, and Hongya Cave became the most developed commercial area in Chongqing Prefecture, with shops, restaurants, and restaurants gathering together.

This place is built on a cliff, facing Jialing River.

All buildings are traditional stilted buildings in Bayu. They are born from the water, grow along the cliff, and are scattered high and low according to the situation of the mountain.

The stilted buildings are all in black, white and gray, but they are all hung with red lanterns, which are densely packed like stars. Coupled with the thick fog, they look even more bizarre.

The temperament of the people in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas is straightforward yet reckless, passionate yet cunning. Coupled with the unique dock culture, they love to have fun day and night.

Therefore, even if it is dark, Hongya Cave is still lively.

"How has your baby behaved recently?"

"What's new lately?"

"Come on, let me introduce you to a business."

It was very lively along the way. People who came out at this time were either merchants or people from the martial arts world. They greeted each other when they met.

The sound of storytelling and applause came from the teahouse, and someone sang a ditty in the bar. Mixed with the aroma of wine and spicy food, the cold autumn night disappeared in an instant.

Lu San was obviously not used to it, but Sha LiFei was like a fish in water. He was able to learn a few sentences from what others said, and soon learned a lot of news.

The heights of this Hongya Cave are staggered, and the suspended stairs and corridors outside the stilted building are connected to each other, which almost makes people dizzy.

Turn left and right, up and down, and finally found an inn.

Sha LiFei looked at the lotus pattern on the stone pier at the door, gave Lu San a wink, then turned to look around, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked in.

"Sir, please come inside!"

"The Xiang family first arrived at the precious land and wanted to hear the wind."

"My guest, please come upstairs..."

After a while, Sha LiFei was led to the second floor.

Like Rumor Inn in other places, this place is also divided into Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain. After being brought into Fengzi Building, an old man was already sitting inside.

The other party didn't say anything, but a tea set was already placed on the table.

People in the rivers and lakes of Shu especially love to set up tea arrays.

The Daoism inside is extremely complex, with forty-two types of tea formations in broad categories, and there are many variations among them. If you don't follow them right, you will inevitably be fooled.

Sha LiFei has also done a lot of research on this. After a tea fight, he successfully bought the information, but just as he was about to stand up, he was still unwilling to accept it and asked, "There is a beggar named Liu San who was entrusted by us to buy information, but ran away with the money. Does senior have any clues?"

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the old man opposite him immediately changed.

He hesitated for a moment, looked outside the door carefully, and whispered, "Liu San That kid is also considered a friend of mine, but he didn't come today, and no one knows where he went..."

Having said that, he dipped his fingers into the tea and quickly wrote a few lines on the table:

The money was exposed and was robbed by an accomplice, Broken Temple South of the City.

"Oh, forget it."

Sha LiFei didn't change his expression, stood up, said goodbye and left.

The old man behind him quickly wiped away the water stains on the table.

After leaving the inn, Sha LiFei found Lu San.

"The information is obtained."

"Then let's go."

Lu San was about to leave with a muffled voice, but found that Sha LiFei didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Lu San asked curiously.

Sha LiFei hesitated slightly and narrated what happened, "Why don't you go take a look and at least get our money back?"

Lu San narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are not that kind of person."

Sha LiFei Although he loves money, he currently has a rich fortune, so he doesn't care about it at all. This is the first time he has acted without authorization.

There must be another reason.

Sha LiFei was silent for a moment, remembering the slap he received from beggar Liu San in the alley, and said with a wry smile, "Just looking at this kid reminds me of myself back then."

"Many times, you want to climb up, but just like a dazed fly, you hit the wall everywhere. If you hadn't met Yan XiaoGe..."

Lu San remained expressionless and said in a low voice, "Then let's go."

Although he is not good at dealing with people, he knows many things well.

Sha LiFei is very conscientious in the team, and as the only ordinary person, he always has the fear of being left behind, so he never dares to make any mistakes when doing things.

This was the first time he took the initiative to do something.

Even if Li Yan is here, he will agree without saying a word.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?"

Sha LiFei's face relaxed, and he quickly followed, saying in a low voice, "Don't worry, we will get the money back, save that kid's life, and not cause too much trouble..."

"Don't be afraid if you mess with me!"

"Tsk tsk, San Er, you speak more aggressively than Yan XiaoGe..."

On the other side, there was a sudden noise on the dilapidated street.

Bang bang bang!

The Zhou family members appeared again, but this time it was someone else, a group of burly men holding lanterns and slamming open the door of Wu Troupe.

"Hurry up! Why are you dawdling!"

"We agreed to perform for three consecutive days, don't miss the time!"

"Everyone, if someone dies in the class, I'm afraid it's unlucky..."

"What nonsense, you have to do something after you get the money!"

Wu Troupe people are all opera singers after all. Although they feel resentful, they also know how powerful they are, and they all look at a loss.

They had already discovered that they had been being watched by this group of people. They even went to the doctor to see a doctor or to City God Temple to beg for mercy.

Fortunately, this group of people were just standing outside the alley, not knowing that Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan had been here before and gave them advice on how to break the situation.

Soon, everyone in the class was dragged away.

After they left, other people in the team poked their heads out one after another, each with lingering fears.

They still can't see that this is the wrong way.

Remembering how I almost agreed in the first place, I was secretly glad.

There were even two groups who, after these men left, packed their bags and left the place overnight.

Not long after, the streets became quiet again.

In the room of the mansion, Li Yan had already changed into black clothes. After signaling to everyone, he immediately chanted a spell and used <North Emperor Black Water Escape>.

On foggy days, this escape method is more powerful.

Different from Hongya Cave, other places in Chongqing Prefecture are much quieter although lanterns are also lit.

The lanterns were dim in the thick fog, and the atmosphere was inexplicably strange.

Li Yan followed the group of people up the stairs and through alleys. Not long after, they arrived outside an old house in the south of the city.

The house is quite large in area and has an obvious Han Chinese Eastern Sichuan courtyard style, with gray walls and black tiles, a lot of wood, beams and buckets, and diagonal beams.

The beams and pillars all have exquisite wood carvings, which are extremely luxurious.

On the door of the house, there is a four-character plaque engraved with "Dong Le Jing Shou".

From a distance, I could see that the house was brightly lit but quiet. There were also a group of big men in black squatting at the door, talking in low voices or smoking cigarettes.

Li Yan immediately sneered after seeing it.

Sure enough, this Zhou family is not just an ordinary businessman. They probably have some influence in the world, so they don't take human lives seriously.

He used Profound Water Escape, and those big men couldn't even notice it. He exerted force on his feet and immediately stepped on the wall to fly into the air, leaping several times on the eaves.

When the disaster was approaching, Li Yan frowned slightly, jumped to a big tree, found a dark place to squat down, and took a deep breath.

The whole house is filled with Gangsha Energy.

Obviously, a Feng Shui bureau was arranged inside. Once he got close, the escape method would inevitably be affected. Fortunately, he was condescending and could see clearly inside.

The house is not small in area, and the interior layout is exquisite, with rockeries, strange rocks, flowers and trees scattered in an orderly manner, and full of natural interest.

A mourning hall was set up outside the main courtyard, and a stage was set up at the door, facing northwest. The Sichuan Opera troupe had been escorted up.

In the main hall, there were many people sitting.

Li Yan frowned slightly after seeing it.

He actually saw several familiar people:

Cao Gang elder Han Kun, and Chen Family and Son of the Jiangzhe Merchant Guild...
