Where did the thief come from...
Li Yan picked up a chopstick on the table and was about to shoot it out of the air, but he narrowed his eyes and stopped.
Dragon Spring Post Three Religions and Nine Schools gathers together, naturally Kong Kong Er is indispensable.
Hidden on the roof was just a half-grown child. His body was weak and his lower body was unstable. He was probably very hungry, so he came here to steal...
Thinking of this, Li Yan came to the corner, took out the uneaten dry food from his luggage, came to the window and threw it up.
Whoosh!
On the roof, black little hands grasped the dry food bag, and then a weak voice came, "Excuse me for disturbing you. Thank you, hero."
Soon, the messy footsteps quickly left.
Li Yan shook his head slightly, pushed out the door, and came to a nearby room. He first hung Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Sword Tassel on the door, and then asked, "Senior, is there any news over there?"
In the room, there were none other than Bai Huan and Long Yan'er, as well as two girls, Wu Chao Yun and Wu Xing Yu.
"Young Hero Li has a kind heart."
Bai Huan was obviously aware of what happened before. He first praised him and then said, "The disciple who went to deliver the message has returned."
As he said that, he looked at his two granddaughters, his eyes full of love, "Master Xiaoyue values Zhao Yun and Xing Yu very much. He was busy because of the battle between good and evil. He knew about us and brought people here personally."
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "You don't have other plans, do you?"
Zhao Yun and Xing Yu were arranged by the female priests Life Controller Society so that Bai Huan's daughter and fellow Gu sect Long Yan'er were conceived in Wushan.
Not only are they bodies prepared for the reincarnation of Goddess of Mount Wu, they also each have a "divine aura" within their bodies.
"Shen Gang" can be used to enhance Divine Ability, whether it is Yang Six Roots Divine Ability or Dharma Realm Mystical Power, as long as you know the method.
Although it is dangerous, it is inevitable that some people will covet it.
"It's okay."
Bai Huan's face was full of relief, "Zhao Yun, Xing Yu, have successfully absorbed the divine power."
Li Yan suddenly understood, nodded and said, "Congratulations."
These two Girl have extraordinary identities. Spiritual Charm was born and they have awakened Divine Ability since they were very young, but they have not yet practiced spiritual cultivation.
After successfully absorbing the divine power, Divine Ability is stronger and can move much earlier than his peers. He is considered to be a born practitioner.
Any person like this has a chance to become the pillar of the sect. No wonder Zen Master Xiaoyue came here in person.
The two Girl rarely spoke on the road. It turned out that Bai Huan had been secretly teaching them, and was obviously guarding against them.
Li Yan doesn't care.
No matter how good the relationship is, everyone has secrets about life and death.
There were some things on the road, but Bai Huan didn't ask much when they saw them. Naturally, they wouldn't pry into other people's secrets at will.
Thinking of this, Li Yan looked at Long Yan'er next to him, "Dragon Lady, what are you going to do? Do you need my help?"
Long Yan'er hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Li Yan saw this and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to be polite. If you hadn't encountered a disaster, we would have been one of our own. If we can help, just ask."
He still can't figure out how these two unrelated people, Long Yan'er and Sha LiFei, could see each other.
Maybe they feel sympathy for each other?
No matter how you say it, it's a good thing. Naturally, we have to try our best to find a way so that the two of them can finally get together.
Old Woman Bai Huan A trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Young Hero Li There is no need to worry too much, I and Yan'er have already thought of a solution."
"As the saying goes, risk your life to survive. If you want to reunite Natal Gu, you must put yourself in a desperate situation."
"Near Qingcheng Mountain, there is West Ridge Snow Mountain, with thousands of walls standing on three sides. In winter, the snow is like silver. Yan'er is now building a two-story building on the road. If she can succeed, she can take the opportunity to gather Natal Gu."
"Only the materials for refining Gu are not complete."
Li Yan became interested, "The one with 'The window contains Qianqiu Xue of Xiling'? It is indeed a treasure. What else do you need?"
"Rare alien poisonous insect."
Bai Huan said while taking a few clay pots from the side, "My Bai family's sesame bugs and Yan'er's own several Gu worms are rare, but they are not even interesting."
"I've been running all the way, but I haven't found a chance to inquire. Dragon Spring Post Three Religions and Nine Schools gather here, maybe someone knows the news."
"Easy to say."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Anyway, Zen Master Xiaoyue hasn't arrived yet, so I'm going to make some inquiries. Everyone, take care of yourselves and take action when it's time to take action."
After saying that, he clasped his fists and left.
Watching him leave, Bai Huan looked at Long Yan'er again and said with a smile, "I have a good eye for people. If you don't want to fall in love with Qingcheng Mountain, follow them in the future so that you can be taken care of."
Long Yan'er shook his head and said, "Let's survive first and then talk about it."
Bai Huan gently held her hand and said with firm eyes, "It will definitely work. I have experienced so many hardships. I must not be discouraged in this last step."
"Besides, I still want to see your doll."
Long Yan'er was stunned, "What are you talking about?"
Old Woman Bai Huan laughed dumbly and stopped talking...
After leaving the inn, I heard noises in the distance.
Dragon Spring Post Naturally, people in the inn will not come near this place. Even if it is open, only large chambers of commerce are eligible to stay.
The surrounding inns, carriage shops, teahouses and restaurants are not high-end places. Most of them have adobe walls and thatched roofs.
Although it is dilapidated, it is lively enough.
Li Yan lowered the bamboo hat and looked around. Seeing nothing strange, he walked through the streets and alleys to check.
After searching around, he frowned slightly.
For some unknown reason, there is no Rumor Inn here.
If you want to find some strange poisonous insect, ordinary people in the world will definitely not know about it, so I am afraid you will have to ask the local warlock.
Even so, he still found the busiest wine shop.
Xuanmen returns to Xuanmen, and the information about Chengdu Prefecture cannot be missed. After all, the team will come here later, so you have to know it first.
Opening the door curtain, the noise immediately hit us.
This is a typical Sichuan wine shop. It is divided into two floors and is supported by rough wooden beams. The green bricks on the floor are already uneven.
There is a tiger stove burning inside, and Big Teapot is making a beeping sound.
Looking around, there are square tables and benches everywhere.
It was very lively inside, with drivers from car dealers coming and going, drinking and boxing together, and people from all walks of life eating meat and chatting.
There was even a group of soldiers from the guard station, arming themselves with each other, talking dirty jokes, and they were drunk.
"One heart respects, two hearts rejoice!"
"Five Chief, seven tricks!"
The sounds of fist-pumping and drinking orders came and went.
Li Yan frowned slightly and found a corner to sit down.
Needless to say, drinking is a common practice in Shu.
Since the King of Shu era of Can Cong, Yu Fu, Du Yu, etc., winemaking has been on a large scale. There was "Jiannanchun" in the Tang Dynasty, "Goose Yellow Wine" and "Litch Green" in the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, "Five Golden Flowers" is drunk in the east, west, north and south.
People here also like to drink.
Drink "Tuan Nian Jiu" on New Year's Eve, "drink spring wine" at relatives' gatherings; drink "Zangyang Wine" and "Kaiyang Wine" when planting rice; drink "Xiong Yellow Wine" on Dragon Boat Festival, and drink "Moonlight Wine" on Mid-Autumn Festival...
Anyway, there is always a way to drink alcohol all year round.
So much so that "treating you to a meal" in local means "treating you to a drink".
There is also something to be careful about when it comes to drinking wine.
If you don't drink new wine, drinking new wine will easily make you sick.
Don't drink cold wine because it hurts your stomach.
If you don't drink too much, you should always have some side dishes to go with the wine.
Finally, drink wine slowly, raise your glass slowly and sip slowly.
Two taels is better, along with tea, set up the Dragon Gate Formation, no matter whether it is chatting or nonsense, anyway, the day passed happily.
Although Li Yan is not from Shu, he appreciates this kind of wine custom. He ordered two liang of wine to go with beef and peanuts, and asked the waiter to make a pot of tea.
A sip of wine and a sip of tea makes you feel at ease.
He seemed to be pouring himself a drink, but he was secretly making secrets. His ears moved occasionally, and all the sounds in the inn could be heard in his ears.
"Brother, thanks to you today!"
"Whatever you said, come on, do it!"
This is the group of guardsmen talking about brothers.
"Master, can I enter the lantern festival this year?"
"It's hard to find someone like Evergreen Society..."
This is a martial arts artist from out of town.
"What's the wind blowing from the west?"
"Pull off the eggs, kick the fire..."
This is two young people drinking and chatting in code words.
At first glance, he looks like a newbie just getting started.
As the saying goes, "Don't mess around with people when you meet them." Only fools will talk nonsense and reveal their true feelings when it is not necessary.
Rookies who are new to the world love to do this stupid thing.
Although most of it was useless information, after listening for a while, Li Yan also analyzed some information.
In Chengdu Prefecture, it is relatively stable now.
Because of Chongqing Prefecture's incident, the court was furious, and King of Shu was ordered to reflect at home and wait until the end of the year before he showed up.
It is now the end of October, not far from the first lunar month, and many things in Chengdu Prefecture are related to this.
Chengdu Lantern Festival, Flower Festival Assembly, Qingyang Palace temple fair.
From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, there are many festivals, big and small.
Therefore, a large number of caravans and entertainers also came.
Li Yan After listening to it for a while, I found it boring.
This information is basically useless.
Rather than wasting time here, it is better to go back to practice and then directly inquire about the news from Xuanmen.
He happened to know a Daoist priest in the Qingyang Palace, the same one who suppressed Dragon Girl in Dragon Pool Village.
I think I have already replied to the Qingyang Palace...
Just as he was about to stand up and leave, his ears suddenly twitched, and he stopped again, listening carefully.
I could only hear two people talking in a private room on the second floor.
"Are you sure they will come tonight?"
"The news from the palace..."
"Senior brother, if you do this, you will offend Yellow Mausoleum Sect."
"So what if we are offended? Is there any way we can turn back..."
Li Yan took a sip of wine, thoughtfully.
He also heard some things at Chongqing Prefecture.
A big reason why the emperor felt relieved about King of Shu was that King of Shu was already old. In addition, he was injured secretly on the battlefield when he was young, so he probably wouldn't live long.
After all, they were the closest brothers. Even if the other party did something outrageous, the emperor would turn a blind eye.
It makes no sense to be close to each other for a lifetime and then turn against each other in old age.
But in Shu King Residence, there is also unrest.
King of Shu has never decided on the candidate for Young Lord, which made several princes have their thoughts and secret fights in private.
In Chongqing Prefecture's case, the second prince was involved. He originally wanted to take the lead, but unexpectedly he got into trouble and was dragged to fight outside Shu King Residence in public.
The gangs and chambers of commerce in Chongqing Prefecture have shadows of these princes behind them, and they often fight with each other.
As for Qingcheng Emei, they are not involved in these things.
Yellow Mausoleum Sect is also one of Emei Five Flowers, but unlike the other sects, they are not in the mountains, but rooted in Chengdu Prefecture.
Chengdu Prefecture and City God Temple are under their management.
Could it be that Yellow Mausoleum Sect also got involved in this muddy water?
If that's the case, City God Temple won't be able to go...
While Li Yan was deep in thought, the two people upstairs also paid and walked down the stairs, but they were twin brothers.
They were all dressed in coarse cloth, with fleshy faces, and carried short guns behind them, wrapped with cloth to cover them.
The most special thing is the hair.
Although they have grown hair, those with good eyesight can see nine scars under their hair.
Conferring ordination and burning incense on the top of one's head is a lifelong vow.
There is also a saying about the number of ring scars.
One is "pure heart", which represents the first entry into Buddhism.
Two are "happiness", three are "wisdom", four are "compassion", five are "patience", six are "diligence", seven are "meditation", eight are "equality" and nine are "perfection".
Further up, it becomes very rare.
It is said that Bodhidharma or the Sixth Patriarch had ten ring scars.
The legendary twelve ring scars,
It means the highest "Bodhisattva ring" in Precepts.
There are nine ring scars, indicating that he is an authentic Buddhist disciple, and he has grown his hair, which means he must have broken the temple and returned to secular life...
After the twin monks came downstairs, they looked around with sharp eyes. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, they strode out the door.
After they left, Li Yan raised his head, thought for a moment, put down a few copper coins, and followed out the door.
Anyway, it's okay, why not see what the two monks are up to.
These two monks are not magicians, but their skills are extremely superb. They have reached Peak of Hidden Strength, which is only one step away from Transformed Strength.
After they went out, they deliberately circled a few times before striding towards Dragon Spring Mountain.
The two of them didn't notice at all that a breeze blew gently on the grass behind them, leaving faint footprints.
With Li Yan and now Mystic Water Escape Technique, ordinary warlocks can't find him at all. In addition, he possesses "Dragon Snake Plate", which covers all his aura. Even if he sends Yin soldiers to patrol the mountain, he can't be found.
Tracking two monks is naturally a piece of cake.
Dragon Spring Mountain is not far from Dragon Spring Post, which is the only way to enter Chengdu from outside, and ChengYu Ancient Road is located in it.
But these two people did not walk Official Road, but walked along the nearby grassland, Hidden Strength exploded under their feet, their bodies were lowered, and their steps were fast, like two leopards.
He's a monk...
Li Yan became even more curious after seeing it.
He recognized that these two people were the "monk sect" headed by Baye among the "Five Flowers Eight Leaves" in Emei.
The monk sect has a prominent reputation and is rumored to have been created by Zen Master Song Baiyun.
Zen Master Baiyun lived in the mountains with various animals. He carefully figured out the movements of these heaven and earth creatures to catch, pounce, soar, hunt, dodge, and play, and created the dragon, tiger, crane, snake, and leopard Five Elements Fist.
Later, he integrated various boxing techniques and became the powerful Monk Fist.
They are both in Emei, why do they want to ambush each other?
When they arrived near Dragon Spring Mountain Official Road, they hid in the grass and took out two short guns from behind.
Li Yan is also standing in the distance, waiting patiently.
Unconsciously, the night gets darker and darker.
It was pitch dark all around, and I saw a carriage coming creaking from the direction of Dragon Spring Mountain.
In the car, there was a huge Stone Coffin...
