Dragon Girl is dreaming again!
Li Yan is not panicked, he is even used to it.
For others, dreaming from gods and gods is a rare and rare chance of immortality.
But here, it is commonplace.
Maybe it's because of the ultimatum, or maybe it's because of Great Luo Dharma Body, he always has a deep connection with these things.
When he came to his senses, he looked carefully.
Ever since I got the strange Jade Accessories left behind by Yin Changsheng, everything I saw became clearer no matter whether I was receiving a ultimatum or a dream.
The same is true now.
In the dream, this Dragon Daughter Temple is hidden deep under the water. Looking at the surrounding terrain, the messy gravel is in the shape of a slope. It is likely that Earth Dragon Turning Over sank into the water.
As the body surged around, the giant thing inside finally became clear. It turned out to be a giant python of astonishing size.
With this kind of body shape, most of them have become demons!
There should be a lot of space behind the buried Dragon Daughter Temple, which this monster used as a nest.
Dragon Girl What do you want to tell him?
Looking at the illusion in front of him, Li Yan was thoughtful.
Along the way, Dragon Girl asked her in her dreams several times, but she always touched something that made her feel something, and she told her in her dreams.
It should be "Dragon Snake Plate"!
Could it be that Dragon Snake Plate flowed out from here?
Just when Li Yan was wondering, something suddenly sank slowly above the water. They were some melon and fruit offerings, as well as some live pigs and cows.
The giant python inside also quickly turned around, got out of the water tank with its thick head, opened its fangs and opened its mouth, and swallowed the offering.
And these offerings are just appetizers.
When several boys and girls whose legs and feet were tied also fell to the bottom of the river and were swallowed one by one by the giant python, Li Yan finally understood.
This is at Living Sacrifice to the River God!
Human sacrifice was gradually abolished during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but the practice still persisted and was completely banned at the national level during the Warring States Period.
However, folk bad habits have not completely disappeared.
Unfortunately, when he wanted to see more clearly, the snake demon seemed to react and slowly turned his head, his eyes flashing with blue light.
The dream came to an abrupt end.
Li Yan woke up suddenly and felt that his back was covered with sweat.
That snake demon is not simple.
Dragon Girl This dream can also be regarded as a kind of divination, named Dream Divination.
The other party can actually sense it!
This happened when I first saw the Manifest Saint True Lord temple.
This snake demon must have profound knowledge!
It's a pity that he only saw the underwater scene and didn't know where the specific location was...
It seems that we should also pay attention to collecting information in this area.
After thinking for a while, he finally fell asleep.
Before dawn the next day, Li Yan was woken up by some noises.
Not from the Jin Prefecture Guild Hall.
The servants here have obviously been strictly trained and are very careful in what they say and do, making the entire club very quiet.
The sound came from the street outside.
There were both firecrackers and gongs and drums beating.
Li Yan got up, washed up casually, put on clothes and went out.
When we came to the front yard, the owner Xie ZhengYuan was practicing martial arts.
The "Dragon Shape" is domineering and winding, the "Tiger Pounce" explodes rapidly, the feet are stepped on in a chain, the clothes are rustling in the wind, and every move is honed.
Li Yan I can see the basics right away.
The other person's heart and mind are united, his mind and Qi are united, Qi and strength are united, and the essence of XinYi Quan and "Inner Three Harmonies" has been obtained.
Seeing Xie Zhengyuan's gaze, Li Yan quickly clasped his fists and said, "I didn't mean to peek. Please forgive me, Master Xie."
"It doesn't matter."
Xie ZhengYuan smiled and said, "I practice boxing just as a hobby, and my ideas are widely spread. The elders in my hometown know how to use both hands. I just move my body and make the young hero laugh."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Senior, you're welcome. I've heard that XinYi Quan is developing well in Jinzhou. I don't know which family it comes from, senior."
Xie ZhengYuan picked up the towel and wiped the sweat.
"My ancestral home is Jinzhong."
"Oh, no wonder."
After chatting casually for a few words, Xie ZhengYuan said, "Young Hero Li was awakened by the noise outside, and I just wanted to watch the excitement with me."
With that said, he turned around and came to the door, asking someone to open it.
Li Yan followed closely behind, standing at the door and watching.
But I saw that the morning fog had not cleared on the street. Looking from a distance, I saw firelight flying up and down, but it was a group of people holding incense and dancing.
When you get closer, you can see it more clearly.
Those people were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, just like in costumes. They were waving a lot of incense in one hand and a lantern in the other.
The person leading the way was an old man.
He was dressed gorgeously and was tall. When he arrived at the door of some merchants, someone immediately came forward to burn incense. The leading old man also held the seal with his hand and seemed to be giving blessings.
As soon as you see the seal, you know it is a Buddhist ritual.
Behind him, there is an even larger team.
Some people were holding Prayer Flag, others were holding flower baskets, behind them a gong and drum band was beating, and others were setting off firecrackers along the way.
And in the center of the line, there is always a dance team.
Inside were all seven or eight-year-old children, wearing flower crowns, lotus skirts, and colorful shawls, holding flower pots and fans, dancing to the rhythm of drum music, with solemn and pious expressions.
Further behind are nine-grade incense candles, shrines, and a large number of believers holding Buddhist beads, chanting Buddhist sutras, and following closely.
The team came to the Jin Prefecture Guild Hall.
Xie ZhengYuan quickly asked someone to take the red envelope and hand it out.
"Thank you, boss, and all blessings."
"Buddha bless you, Good Weather for the Crops, be safe and sound."
The two of them obviously knew each other. After saying something to each other, the music team immediately stepped forward and circled around the door of the Jin Prefecture Guild Hall.
Then, the whole team continued to move forward.
After they left, Xie ZhengYuan said, "This is 'Jia Xiang Tong Zi Wu', also called Tong Zi Bai Guanyin. This is to pray to Good Weather for the Crops that it will be held at any time."
"Didn't something happen over there at Chongqing Prefecture? There were several children from Zouma Town among them. The one just now was from the Sun family of the Salt Gang in the city. He was a righteous person and believed in Buddhism and Daoism, so he organized this ritual. One was to drive away evil spirits and pray for blessings, and the other was to help those children perform rituals and appease the souls of the dead..."
"That's it."
Li Yan shook his head slightly after hearing this.
They participated in it, killed the demon, and were more concerned about the changes in the power structure of the world caused by the incident.
But for Chongqing Prefecture people, those murdered children are a lingering nightmare, and I don't know how much time will pass before the pain is eliminated.
Thinking of the human sacrifice he dreamed about last night, Li Yan felt inexplicably angry in his heart and had murderous intent in his eyes.
In this world, there are people who care about matters that have nothing to do with themselves.
But a sharp edge is also indispensable, and you will step on it whenever the road is uneven.
"Young Hero Li..."
Feeling the killing intent, Xie ZhengYuan was a little wary.
"I'm sorry."
Li Yan quickly calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "We are here, we are not familiar with the place, and we would like to ask my boss for help with something."
"Oh? Let's put it in another place, young hero, please come with me."
Xie ZhengYuan invited him into the study and ordered someone to bring some morning tea cakes. Then he asked, "I wonder what the young hero wants?"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "There are three things I would like to ask my boss for help."
"The first is Storytelling School's senior 'Li TieZui'. I want to get to know him and listen to his stories. I hope my employer can help introduce him."
"Second, I want to find a reliable Treasure Hunter."
"Third, I want to know which places around here still offer human sacrifices to the river god."
This is the reason why he stayed at Zouma Town.
There are many caravans traveling between the north and the south here, and some information and stories are secretly circulated, sometimes more than Chongqing Prefecture.
"Gray-robed Mad Monk" is likely to know the secret of the Great Luo Dharma Realm, and also dreamed of Cui Song, indicating that it still exists.
Like Yin Changsheng, it is the target he is looking for.
Looking for Treasure Hunter is to obtain several Heavenly Spiritual Treasure notified by Azure Ox Temple, plus the Bai family secrets, for exchange with Qingcheng Mountain.
As for human sacrifice, it is related to the dream last night.
"Oh?"
Xie ZhengYuan caressed his long beard gently, his eyes full of doubts, "Although the witchcraft tradition is strong in Sichuan, the cultural context has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the Confucianism way has been spread, and the practice of human sacrifice has become very rare."
"I've never heard of this Zouma Town or anywhere near Chongqing."
"Maybe some company is doing it secretly. I can send someone to inquire about it."
"As for Treasure Hunter, I actually know one. He often disguises himself as a salesman and wanders around Sichuan and Sichuan to collect treasures. Then he sells Jin Prefecture Merchant Guild to me. I can send someone to notify you."
"And that 'Li TieZui'."
Having said this, a smile appeared on Xie ZhengYuan's face, "This person has a good relationship with me, Jin Prefecture Merchant Guild. On weekdays, he and his disciples stay in the teahouse run by the guild hall."
"In the past few days, I have been fighting with another family. If you are interested, young hero, you can follow me to the teahouse to listen to books."
Li Yan was also interested, "When I came here, I heard that the family was also a master of Storytelling School. Could it be that they were fighting for territory?"
"Hahaha..."
Xie ZhengYuan laughed and said, "The Jianghu artist travels all over the country, talking about shortcomings in human relationships, and talking about making money through harmony. How can there be so many conflicts between life and death."
"It's said to be a battle of wits, but actually it's to cheer each other up. The two of them are old friends and they are very old. They made this noise because they want to help the apprentices show their faces and make their names known."
"Oh, it turns out it's just hype."
Li Yan also burst into laughter when he heard this.
Most of the conflicts he came into contact with were conflicts over interests, using knives and spells to fight without mercy.
I almost forgot that ordinary Jianghu people play a different game.
"Hype?"
Xie ZhengYuan asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
Li Yan smiled and said, "It's just to make the noise louder..."
With that said, he described some of the hype techniques.
This thing was simply too common in the previous life.
However, after Xie ZhengYuan heard it, he fell into deep thought, and then clasped his hands and sighed, "Wonderful! Great! Adding fuel to the fire, starting a fire out of thin air, is somewhat similar to Confucianism Apocryphal Prophecy. Fake can be true, and true can be false..."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Young Hero Li for teaching me this technique. This technique can be worth ten thousand gold. Once I compile it into a book, my Xie family will be richly rewarded."
He was talking about the Xie family, and he obviously wanted to make this technique a family tradition.
Li Yan was a little speechless, shook his head and said, "My boss is too polite, just chat casually."
Xie ZhengYuan, on the other hand, said sternly, "Young hero, you can have your meal first. After I make arrangements, I will take you to the teahouse."
"Okay."
Li Yan said goodbye and left.
Xie ZhengYuan hurriedly took out a booklet, dipped in ink and wrote down the cases he had mentioned one by one. Finally, he frowned in thought and expanded...
After breakfast, I rested for half an hour.
Xie ZhengYuan sent someone to invite him, and Li Yan asked about it. Seeing that the others were not interested, he took his bamboo hat alone and left the hall with Xie ZhengYuan.
Squeak~
After they left, a door slowly opened.
Long Yan'er walked out of it.
Along the way, her situation became worse and worse. Natal Gu was damaged and Divine Soul was injured. Not only did her fortune begin to decline, but her body also became weak.
If I move even a little bit, I'll be panting and sweating.
Perhaps because she had a good rest last night, her complexion improved somewhat, but she was still pale and lost her mind while looking at the eaves and brackets of the guild hall.
Sha LiFei also happened to be going out. He hesitated for a moment when he saw it, then stepped forward and asked, "Dragon Lady, are you okay?"
Long Yan'er glanced at him, lowered his head and said nothing.
Sha LiFei touched his bald head and wanted to turn around and leave, but felt something was wrong for some reason, so he comforted him, "I heard about you."
"Don't worry, the imperial army is overwhelming. Bo Prefecture Yang Family won't be able to survive for a few more days. Then I beg Yan XiaoGe to go around and help you find Master Chaodu."
"Thank you."
Long Yan'er nodded slightly, "My master has hidden some herbs, all Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. I will hide them in some places and I will be rewarded with them."
Sha LiFei laughed and said, "Then what are you worrying about? Even if we can't take care of it, we can still find other people to help."
Long Yan'er ignored it, but looked at his hands with some confusion in his eyes, "I broke Natal Gu, and Divine Soul was damaged. I'm afraid I won't be able to use spells in the future. What's the difference between me and a waste?"
Sha LiFei's face darkened, "Old Sha I don't know how to do magic either. Do you mean that I'm a waste too?"
Long Yan'er was slightly stunned and quickly shook his head, "That's not what I meant. It's just that I won't be able to use the spell in the future and I don't know what to do..."
"There's so much that can be done!"
Sha LiFei glared and said, "How many warlocks are there in this world, can ordinary people not survive?"
"Do whatever you have to do. Don't embarrass yourself while you are alive."
Seeing his appearance, Long Yan'er got angry inexplicably and sneered, "You really don't mean what you mean and you are full of nonsense. You are obviously unwilling, why are you pretending to be heartless?"
Sha LiFei was confused, "Did you see it?"
Long Yan'er hummed. "Everyone in this team can see that they are all accommodating you. When you fired randomly, Lu San and Wu Ba were standing by to protect you, but they couldn't fire."
Sha LiFei also fell into silence after listening.
After a while, they both sighed.
"Trash is just trash. No one in this world is trash."
Sha LiFei scolded, "Old Sha I also thought about it. Everything is fate, and you can't control it at all. You can do whatever you want. Follow Yan XiaoGe and the others. If you can't move anymore from now on, just find a place to return to your roots."
"Should we be happy, we should be happy. We finally got to this place. It's really a loss if we don't listen to music and drink tea. Do you want to go?"
Long Yan'er hesitated, "This..."
Sha LiFei glared, "I'm a waste, and you are a waste too. It's okay to go out for a walk. Are you afraid of a bird?"
"Okay!"
Long Yan'er's face was pale, but there was a smile on his face.
The two of them seemed to suddenly become interested. They changed their clothes, covered their faces with bamboo hats, said hello and left the club.
After they left, Lu San emerged from the corner and whispered into the room, "Daoist Master, I will follow them to avoid anything happening."
After that, he quickly left the club.
In the room, Wang Dao Xuan sat in front of the desk, smiled slightly, and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
On the street not far away, Li Yan followed Xie ZhengYuan and entered a large teahouse.
Snap!
As soon as I walked in, I heard Xing Mu taking a picture.
"Dear guests, what we are talking about today is the incident of Manifest Saint True Lord cutting down a mountain to save his mother..."
