Guild Hall Enters a Dream (An Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Shizhu Huakai Moshangxiang)
When Li Yan and others heard this, they all stopped.
He didn't expect that his identity would be revealed.
"Young Hero Li Don't be surprised."
The old man Xie ZhengYuan smiled and said, "You may not know that this brand is rare. Since the establishment of the Jin Prefecture Merchant Guild, there have been less than thirty pieces in total."
"All the brands have secret codes. You can find out by checking the guild halls in various places. Arranging food and accommodation is only secondary. As long as there are no taboos, we will provide you with the help we can."
"Young Hero Li probably doesn't want to reveal his identity. Don't worry, no one dares to say anything as long as we are inside the guild hall."
Okay!
This is VIP service, right?
Li Yan was also a little surprised, nodded and said, "Thank you."
Everyone was talking about this, and there was no point in covering it up. Everyone took off their Nuo-faced robes one after another, and seemed much more comfortable.
"Everyone, please."
Xie ZhengYuan raised his hand again and led the way.
Everyone was relieved and looked around.
The area of this guild hall is not large, but although it is small, it has all the internal organs. In the courtyard with three entrances, there are not only a kitchen, a main hall, a small garden, but also an ancestral hall, Lord Guan Temple and a small stage.
The walls are all made of heavy bricks and stones, and the stair columns are all made of fine jujube wood, painted with black paint and carved with complicated patterns.
Fu Lu Shou star, lifelike.
The corridors along the way were all hung with lanterns. Occasionally, when encountering servants and maids, they would carefully step aside and remain silent.
Completely different from the hustle and bustle of Zouma Town outside, the entire Jin Prefecture Guild Hall seems to be a world of its own, quiet and peaceful, with a faint scent of sandalwood lingering around.
As Xie ZhengYuan walked, he introduced with a smile, "Jinzhou has a relatively conservative temperament both inside and outside the country. Jin Prefecture Guild Hall everywhere is basically like this. Lord Guan's temple must be built."
As he spoke, he had brought everyone to the middle courtyard, nodded and said, "The rooms have been cleaned up for you, and someone will bring hot water later."
"I have prepared some banquets for you all to enjoy."
"Thank you boss for being so polite."
Xie ZhengYuan acted in a measured manner, neither overly enthusiastic nor alienated. After leading everyone to the room, he said goodbye and left.
The room layout is also very simple. It can be seen that it has been temporarily tidied up. The beds and bedding have all been replaced with new ones, and the tables and chairs also have signs of being wiped freshly.
After everyone arranged their rooms, Li Yan led everyone to the front yard.
Because the Bai family women had poisonous sores on their faces, they didn't like letting outsiders see their faces, so Li Yan asked servants to bring food to their rooms.
When they entered the house for the banquet, the whole table was already covered with food.
There are eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes, which are very different from other places.
The only difference is that there are noodles, several kinds of braised sauces, fried cakes, siomai and other noodles on the table.
Xie ZhengYuan asked people to fetch wine jars, filled them for everyone, and said with a smile, "The guild hall mainly receives people from Jinzhou, so there is a lot of noodles and lack of preparation. Don't blame me."
After toasting three times, Xie Zhengyuan said, "There are two teahouses in Zouma Town, which are also run by the guild hall. If you want to listen to music or allegro, you can tell me to invite people over."
After that, he said goodbye and left.
The wine is excellent Xinghua Village, and the noodles are also Martial Power.
Sha LiFei and Li Yan are both from Guanzhong, and their tastes are quite different. This is the first time to eat such Martial Power noodles since leaving Shaanzhou.
Pour vinegar on it, add garlic, and eat three large bowls per person.
Snap!
Sha LiFei suddenly slapped the table, wiped his mouth and said, "If I had known Jin Prefecture Guild Hall had something to eat, why would I have been running around?"
"Yan XiaoGe, you have to keep the sign."
Li Yan took a sip of wine and said thoughtfully, "Jin Prefecture Merchant Guild is very powerful, and its ticket numbers are available all over the world, and there are guild halls all over the country, which is quite convenient."
"But the people in the Chamber of Commerce have always been greedy and greedy. They are short-tongued and soft-handed. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better to avoid them."
"That's easy!"
Sha LiFei said, "We just give you money."
Wang Dao Xuan also stroked his beard and shook his head. "Some things are not about money, but after all, when you are away from home, you have many friends and many ways to go."
"As long as there is no malice, it's okay to have a good relationship. If something happens, it's okay to say something ugly."
"Besides, we want to get some information, so it would be best to ask the Chamber of Commerce for help..."
Li Yan After hearing this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded. "That's right. It's too late today and it's inconvenient. I'll find a chance to talk about it tomorrow morning."
After having had enough wine and food, everyone returned to their houses.
Since entering Shuzhong, they have not lived in any decent place along the way. Even in the prosperous Chongqing Prefecture, they were in ruins and abandoned houses.
When we got here, we finally felt a little more peaceful.
Li Yan After soaking his feet in hot water, he sat at the table, lit a candle, took out the package from his suitcase, and examined it carefully.
This is the loot obtained from Dragon King Temple's battle.
The most important thing is of course "Dragon Snake Plate".
This is a typical jade. It looks extremely old and its style is slightly different from Central Plains. It may be an ancient Shu sacrificial vessel.
What's even weirder is the pattern above.
One side is engraved with dragon patterns, and the other side is engraved with snake patterns. The two connect their heads and tails to form a yin and yang fish shape.
This pattern has an unusual meaning.
The dragon rises from the wind and has a noble status. This clearly brings the snake to the same status, and the name "Dragon Snake Plate" must have its meaning.
Maybe, this "snake" refers to Ba Snake.
Li Yan once heard Wang Dao Xuan say that in those older Savage Wilderness eras, Divine Land had many powerful Feng Shui situations, but as the years changed, only the three major dragon veins remained.
Ezhou "Nine Headed Phoenix Vein" is one of them.
Ba Mountain is also one of them, and the "Ba Snake" in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is probably referring to this disappeared Feng Shui bureau...
And in Ba Mountain, there is hidden the remnant soul of Jiang God Great Lord, which was later suppressed by the Guanjiang Estuary Erlang temple...
Manifest Saint True Lord transcends tribulation, related to Jiang God Great Lord...
Dragon Girl reacted to this...
There should be some kind of connection hidden in all of this.
Unfortunately, Huo Jiao died so quickly that Li Yan had no time to ask questions and could only continue to look for clues.
However, along the way, he had figured out the function of "Dragon Snake Plate".
The most important thing is to hide the breath.
As long as you carry it with you, Divine Ability cannot be probed.
This function is a little worse than "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl". After all, it can only protect one person, but "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl" can expand the range and cannot detect anywhere the fluorescence reaches.
With this object, it will be more convenient for Li Yan to sneak in and investigate in the future.
And another function of this "Dragon Snake Plate" is that it can enhance water escape, which is just right for him.
But the key information is still unclear.
For example, did this object flow out from the Dragon Palace Water Mansion...
Thinking of this, Li Yan took out a few more books, all of which he found from Huo Jiao.
Raft Sect Now he is leaderless, and he has committed a crime. Not only is there internal chaos due to the competition for the top position, but he is also not favored by the imperial court.
Nowadays, the strength is declining rapidly, and many people have even left Shuzhong for Dongting Lake to join other leaders.
Li Yan took these things, naturally no one stopped him.
Huo Jiao's secret book is still based on the Dharma lineage.
His Dharma lineage is relatively unknown, and his name is "Four Dukes Sect".
The so-called "Four Masters" refer to Four Rivers Dragon Kings.
This can be regarded as the orthodox secular god of the imperial court. According to <Old Book of Tang>, River Dukes seals Spirit Source Duke, Ji Dukes seals Clear Source Duke, Jiang Dukes seals Vast Source Duke, and Huai Dukes seals Long Source Duke.
At the time of Emperor Renzong of Song, "Gong" was changed to "King".
Therefore, the formation of this dharma lineage was in Tang Era, which was the joint celebration of Dragon King Temple temples in various places at that time, which can also be regarded as Orthodox Xuan Gate.
Unfortunately, it has now declined into a dharma lineage and is rarely known.
Most of the spells of "Four Dukes Sect" are mainly used to worship Dragon King and drive away evil spirits such as water demons and water ghosts in rivers and lakes. They are almost useless to Li Yan.
The only thing that attracted his attention was that one hundred and fifty-eight Dragon King were granted the title of Tang Era, occupying various places in Divine Land, and each of them had a name.
Such as Jade Capital Treasure Mountain Dragon King, Penglai Blessed Land Dragon King, Eastward Fuso Dragon King, Wujiang Water Emperor Dragon King, Yellow River Water Earl Dragon King, Sichuan River Water Mansion Dragon King, Mount Wudang Water Dragon King...
To this day, this name Dragon King has mostly been forgotten.
The most famous one is undoubtedly Four Seas Dragon Kings.
This is also important news, at least for him, knowing some of the names of Dragon King gods, he can directly invite them when using the god-controlling method.
Huo Jiao is Dragon King Temple blessing.
These are its original inheritance.
But the rest are all crooked ways.
The incantation in it comes from the Tongtian Sect, and it also records how Huo Jiao enslaved the secular god Dragon King.
This guy used "Dragon Snake Plate" to sneak into the Jialing River, lay down Dragon Suppression Stake, and bury Bewitching Object.
His ambitions don't stop there. He plans to use Raft Sect to expand and enslave more secular gods Dragon King, so that he can make waves, call the wind and rain, and become a god-like leader.
By then, the court would have nothing to do with him.
No wonder I dare to call myself Dragon King...
Unfortunately, ambition exceeds strength.
This guy never thought that Jialing River secular god Dragon King would rather ask Netherworld Divine General to help him escape than to put him to death...
As for the last one, it is even more evil.
This is a kind of elixir called <Mysterious Female Art>, and its background is extremely amazing.
In <"Biographies of Divine Immortals">, a female fairy named Nü Wan is mentioned.
This Nü Wan was originally a wine seller in the Chendi market, and the wine she brewed was always very sweet. Once, a Daoist master came to her house to drink, and she used five volumes of silk books as collateral.
Silk writing is an ancient art of double cultivation. Nü Wan secretly wrote it down. Since then, he often lured men into the house, drank and had fun, and practiced secret techniques.
Thirty years later, she looks as if she was twenty years old.
Later, the master came to see her again and said, "Thieves are selfless and have wings but cannot fly." Nü Wan then abandoned her home and followed the master, and has been missing since then.
Some of these things are unknown.
Nü Wan can still be regarded as a dual practitioner, but the disciples she passed down do not have that qualification, so they simply combine the evil methods of the Infernal Corpse and swallow people to practice Essence Blood.
The reason why it is called <Mysterious Female Art> is because the origin of this technique is earlier, which is the famous Rong Cheng Gong.
Rong Cheng Gong Those who are good at supplementing guidance should draw their essence from Xuanfei.
Yellow Emperor followed his path and built five cities and twelve floors.
Unfortunately, the real <Mysterious Female Art> has been lost, and now this book has completely become an evil method. Although it can restore youth, it cannot extend life.
If you fail to become an immortal through cultivation, you will only become a demon.
Therefore, Huo Jiao has a bloody aura on his body. If "Dragon Snake Plate" hadn't covered it up, he would have been destroyed by Orthodox Xuan Gate.
Without any hesitation, Li Yan directly brought the brazier and burned the evil book into ashes.
The rest is the collection of books by Mr. Du.
What this guy found is equally extraordinary and comes from Fan Monk Nanda.
In the early days of Emperor Dezong of Tang, Zhang YanShang took office as Xichuan Jiedushi.
The border guard general captured a monk from Tianzhu and brought three young nuns into the country in a big way.
This time the monk's illusion skills are astonishing. He has reached the "Illusion-Like Samadhi" state, entering water and fire, penetrating gold and stone, and has endless changes.
After tricking the generals with illusions, he gained great fame in Chengdu, but then disappeared mysteriously.
When he reappeared, Treasure Hunter found his tomb near Dazu Rock Carvings and took out all the books.
Among them, most are secret methods from the Western Regions, and the main ones are "Shitilavana".
This Mr. Du had already been affected by the evil spirit. Knowing that this technique was valuable, he bought it and combined it with the evil method to kill hundreds of children in order to shed their skins as quickly as possible.
These scriptures are all written in Tibetan, and of course Li Yan can't understand them. Fortunately, Mr. Du didn't understand either, so he spent a lot of money to have someone write translation notes next to them.
Li Yan frowned while flipping through the pages.
This method mainly allows practitioners to understand that there is no eternal thing in the world, that people are born, old, sick and die, and that all living beings are unclear and impermanent, and they will be obsessed with it, which will eventually lead to the suffering of reincarnation.
Speaking of it, it also made him sigh.
I have seen many Daoist disasters along the way, all of which come from the word "immortality". There are few who have a chance, and most of them are like nothing.
What made him frown was his practice method.
Most people can't accept it.
No wonder, it has been transformed by many evil arts.
At this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.
This thick book of scriptures is also painted with many patterns and painted with precious pigments. It is still vivid after countless years.
Some of them are particularly familiar...
Li Yan's heart moved, and he quickly took out a scroll of human skin from his luggage and slowly unfolded it.
This scroll was obtained by killing Sacred Maiden of the Incense Smelling Sect. There are many strange gods drawn on it, which are exactly the same as those in the scriptures.
And Li Yan finally knew what it was.
Lord of the Corpse Forest, also known as "Master of the Graveyard".
What is drawn on the scroll is Eight Great Cold Forests, which is Divine Domain of the eight major Shitilavana, Lord of the Corpse Forest.
The picture scroll of the Saint Smell the Fragrance is the map of the cold forest.
The scriptures say that Dakini is hovering in these places.
According to rumors, Dakini is the god who communicates between humans and gods.
And according to the Wang Chan Ancestor's Scripture Forest inscription, all Divine Domain in the world, whether it is heaven, the underworld, or other faiths and legends, are all in the same place: Great Luo Dharma Realm!
Could it be that if you find this Eight Great Cold Forests, you can use Dakini to help you enter Great Luo Dharma Realm?
Looking at the scripture, Li Yan remained silent.
All this seems a bit absurd.
But it makes sense. With the help of Gou Liao, he could see the appearance of the underworld...
Looking at the picture scroll, it shows that the locations of Eight Great Cold Forests are related to the Buddhist Grottoes. The two are at Longyou, which should be Mogao Caves and Maijishan Grottoes.
There is also one in Shu, just near Dazu Rock Carvings...
After all, it's something from Buddhism that Li Yan doesn't understand and wasn't originally interested in. But if it has something to do with the Great Luo Dharma Realm, maybe you can stop by and take a look.
After checking the harvest, Li Yan regained his composure and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, his surroundings became blurry, water waves rose from the ground, and a pair of jade arms surrounded him from behind.
The light and shadow changed again, but it was an ancient temple submerged by the lake. The stone plaque was covered with algae, but the words "Dragon Girl" could be clearly seen.
Hululu~
The mud in the water surged, and the body of a giant creature passed through the temple, and scales as big as a palm could be vaguely seen...
