The paste for the paper figurines has not dried yet.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Keep dripping on the wooden board.
Li Yan learned this craft from making paper figurines from Wang Dao Xuan.
To be honest, I didn't learn well at all.
It was just fixed with bamboo sticks to barely create a human shape, and layers of earthen paper were covered haphazardly, with no details such as facial features, fingers, etc.
For some unknown reason, Li Yan really has no talent for this kind of dexterous craftsmanship. If someone saw it, he would probably laugh out loud.
But this is enough.
After his Daoism improved, <North Emperor Chuling Technique> changed even more.
As an informant, the scope of detecting intelligence is wider.
Moreover, it can also simulate his breath.
Don't underestimate this. Many spells and spell attacks target breath, so today's Chu Ling Technique can not only protect yourself, but also confuse the enemy.
Just like now, the other party can't notice anything unusual at all.
Making paper figures is just to look more like them.
At the back door of the inn on the other side, Li Yan lowered his bamboo hat, looked around, and quickly walked along the dark alley.
Five Phoenix Creek is called this because it has five main streets, namely Jinfeng, Azure Phoenix, Jade Phoenix, White Phoenix, and Little Phoenix.
Every street is connected by alleys.
The area may not seem large, but it is very prosperous.
In some places, construction is even underway to build local guild halls for fellow merchants to rest and communicate.
Li Yan did not enter the main street, but only walked through the dark alleys.
He has "Dragon Snake Plate". When he uses Divine Ability to detect, others will not notice the movement. It is very secretive.
Soon, something unusual was noticed.
There were quite a lot of warlocks gathered in this small Five Phoenix Creek dock, and some of them had really powerful auras, almost the same as his.
As for whether they are enemies or not, it's hard to tell.
In order to avoid alerting others, Li Yan just wrote down the location and the smell of those people, but did not approach them.
His target is, first of all, the warlock who casts a spell to monitor him.
If you don't kill this person first, you will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Finally, when I found a dilapidated warehouse, that feeling like a ray of light on my back, as if a sharp sword was pressing against my back, appeared again.
This is a magic trick targeting him.
Li Yan flashed a fierce light in his eyes, suddenly exerted force on his feet, smashed the wooden door with a bang, and rushed in.
Sure enough, it was Black-Clothed Old Taoist and Spirit Medium.
Old Taoist is also experienced in martial arts.
Although it was unclear why the target of surveillance suddenly appeared, he was extremely adaptable. With a flick of his Daoist robe, he wrapped up little Black Altar on the altar.
"Watch the move!"
With a cold snort, Black Altar exploded immediately.
This Black Altar is not big. It is filled with incense ash and Bone Powder, and is also mixed with some red phosphorus, which disperses into gray mist in the air.
Phew~
The gray mist spontaneously ignited without wind, turning into two green will-o'-the-wisps, rolling up and down, roaring towards Li Yan.
Altar Protection Technique!
When a warlock is setting up an altar, he is most afraid of being approached and interfered with, especially when casting spells, as he is also the most vulnerable.
Generally speaking, Altar Guardian General should be arranged.
But if this condition is not available, Altar Protection Technique must be arranged in advance to be able to activate it at any time and block the enemy.
And this Black-Clothed Old Taoist is not idle either.
He jumped up and hit the wall of the warehouse next to him.
In other places, walls were built with mud, but here they collapsed, and they were simply nailed up with wooden boards and repaired simply.
Click!
The Daoist broke through the wooden board and rushed out.
As soon as the cold wind blew, Old Taoist was secretly happy. Fortunately, he was cautious and found an escape route in advance.
As for the boy behind him, he paid no attention to it.
But as soon as he ran out of the warehouse, his expression changed drastically, and then his whole body froze, his eyes became confused, and it was difficult to move.
Then, a hand reached out from the darkness, hugged his neck directly, and pulled him back.
But it was Li Yan who shattered the will-o'-the-wisp with one punch, then used Soul Hooking Chain to suppress him Divine Soul, and captured him easily.
Wow!
With the sound of debris breaking, Old Taoist rolled to the ground.
"Master!"
Spirit Medium exclaimed and threw himself on Old Taoist, staring at Li Yan with hatred in his eyes, as if he was trying to block the knife for him.
Li Yan frowned slightly, Severing Dust Blade turned over and asked in confusion, "Why are you standing in front of him?"
The boy gritted his teeth and said, "He is my mentor and he wants to kill me!"
Li Yan was happy, "What a bullshit mentor. You little kid, don't you know that this technique consumes your life?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The child's face turned red and he didn't believe it at all.
Li Yan shook his head and said, "This Old Taoist can't do anything but a two-story building. It can make me feel threatened. How can it be normal Yuan Guang Technique?"
"If you don't believe me, just touch the two inches below your left rib. Is there a bulge? Do you have nightmares every night and can't sleep?"
The boy was a little hesitant, "Master said, I am sick, and you have to make money to treat me."
"Nonsense!"
Li Yan said in a cold voice, "This is called Ghost Tendon, born from the infection of Malevolent Qi. How can you withstand this technique at such a young age?"
"When Ghost Tendon is connected to the heart pulse, it will die."
He also heard Wang Dao Xuan say about this kind of thing, that some unscrupulous magicians use this technique to make money.
Most of the children who have awakened Divine Ability will not miss it if they are seen by Xuanmen Dharma. Those with good qualifications will even fight for it.
But if you are found by these evil-minded sidemen, you will only become a tool for making money and die in an accident.
"You... you fart!"
This Spirit Medium is only seven or eight years old. Everything Li Yan said has overturned his understanding. How could he have imagined that his always kind-hearted master would actually harm him.
Before he could think more, he suddenly couldn't breathe.
But Black-Clothed Old Taoist behind him suddenly stood up, grabbed Spirit Medium's neck, and said sternly, "Back off, let me go, or I'll kill this kid..."
When he saw Li Yan acting like this, he thought he was a pedantic person with chivalrous intentions, so he threatened his disciple with his life.
Whoosh!
But before he finished speaking, he felt severe pain in his wrist.
A flying knife suddenly appeared and cut off his wrist. It remained in the air and pressed against his forehead.
"Fly...Flying Sword Technique..."
Old Taoist was in disbelief, his face turned pale.
There is no more resistance in my heart.
Li Yan naturally would not explain. He glanced lightly and said, "I asked, you said, if you answer well, I will spare your life."
"Is this true?"
"Of course, I, Li Yan, always keep my promises. First, tell me what your name is and who sent you here?"
Old Taoist obviously also knew about Li Yan's reputation, hope rose in his eyes, and he quickly said, "Old old Bu Xu, Gold Gate's middle-aged man, is not really a person, he is just good at Yuan Guang Technique, so he was paid to hire him."
"No one knows the real name of the person who hired me. He only knows his nickname 'Ghost Painted Face'. He was born in Pear Garden Troupe. He was a member of the famous 'Ghost Opera Troupe' back then. Later he joined Shu King Residence. He was a highly skilled person and everyone who saw him take action has died."
"Who else is on this trip?"
"There are Wang Han, the leader of Shu Lotus Sect, Jin Cuilian, the leader of Swallow Gate Bewitching Black, and Qin Wanpei of Pu'an Temple... They have benefited from Shu King Residence. They are scattered around on weekdays and only take action when King of Shu calls..."
"What are your plans?"
"There is a boat loaded with explosives on the river. You stay here. The original plan was suspended. Wang Han will come to ask for advice tomorrow..."
Listening to what Old Taoist said, Li Yan was thoughtful.
Shu King Residence sent people as he expected.
Anyway, this matter is not an official one, but a bonus game. That's easy. After all, it's all about fists.
What surprised him was the identity of these people.
In addition to the masters of the side sects, there are also leaders of the folk dharma lineage.
Although he is not a member of the main altar, he is also a master in charge of the branch altar in Shu. In Xuanmen, he is also a prominent figure.
All of them are attached to Shu King Residence.
Whatever the reason, this is a taboo.
Especially members of the royal family.
I remember that in Shaanzhou King of Chang'an, in order to avoid being criticized, even Drum King Assembly stood on the tower and watched.
The warlocks who can enter the palace are either Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect or local Shang Mountain Dharma Sect from Shaanzhou, and they are all aboveboard and only responsible for the safety of the palace.
But Shu King Residence is a bit cold and careless.
That "Ghost Painted Face" looks like a master of evil.
According to the information, Shu King Residence has changed in these years.
Have you also been bewitched by Zhao Changsheng...
Unfortunately, the secret agent Commandery Commandant Office, who is responsible for tracking down Zhao Changsheng, has disappeared and no one knows where he has gone. Otherwise, this matter could have been informed.
Thinking of this, Li Yan flipped his wrist, Blade Light flashed, directly pierced Old Taoist's Dantian, and at the same time sent out a thunder.
"Ah-!"
Old Taoist let out a shrill scream and roared, "Didn't you say you would let me go? Why did you break your promise?"
Li Yan glanced coldly, "I said I would let you go, but I didn't promise not to destroy your cultivation."
He nodded to the lost and lost Spirit Medium next to him and said, "Find a good family and stop using magic. Maybe you can spend your old age peacefully."
Go ahead, sheathe your sword and leave the inn.
"Boy, wait!"
Behind him, Old Taoist's eyes are filled with hatred and malice.
Although he survived, like a disabled person, life will definitely be difficult in the future, and he must find a way to avenge this...
Poof!
Just when he was thinking wildly, his body suddenly froze, and he lowered his head to look at his chest. The tip of the knife had broken out of his body and was dripping with blood.
Behind him is the equally angry Spirit Medium.
Not long after, a fire broke out in the inn.
In the light of the fire, a small figure ran towards the outside of the town carrying a baggage...
"It's gone!"
The flames were blazing, attracting people around to come to the rescue.
Fortunately, this place is relatively remote and close to the river. The fire was extinguished in a short time, leaving only the ruins and smoke rising.
In the chaotic crowd, several figures glanced at each other, all with gloomy expressions...
The next day was a sunny day that had not been seen for a long time.
The high autumn sun has dispelled the gloom of the past few days.
The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the town is refreshing after it has just rained.
"Something happened!"
"Something happened!"
In the inn, someone said excitedly, "Li Yan, that kid is so arrogant that some senior masters can't stand it and want to teach him a lesson!"
"What, which master is it?"
"Lotus Sect leader, Wang Han."
"Who is that?"
"He is a great master of Xuanmen!"
After careful guidance, the news immediately spread throughout the town.
Many of the people staying in the town are ordinary people.
Although he is also a wanderer and wanders around, he does not have many opportunities to meet sorcerers, let alone a real Daoist master and the leader of a sect.
Of course, you won't miss this opportunity for long-term experience.
Not long after, outside the inn where Li Yan was located, there were three floors inside and three floors outside. It was crowded with people, and everyone stood on tiptoe, wishing they could grow three feet taller.
Li Yan was also prepared and sat in the guest room with his eyes closed to relax.
He knew that killing Yuan Guang Taoist last night and then causing a fire must have alerted these people.
Maybe they will change their strategy.
But he didn't care much at this point.
No matter who comes, they must be killed today.
Now that he is famous, he can no longer hide many things, and many of his methods are no longer secrets. It is simply impossible to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need to cover it up anymore.
Only by having a fierce reputation can some people not dare to make any decisions.
"Coming, coming!"
The crowd outside suddenly became commotion.
I saw a black-faced man striding towards me.
"Is this the leader?"
Many people in the crowd had doubts.
It's not their fault, this Lotus Sect leader looks too ordinary, with a big black face, wearing a coarse cloth coat, and carrying a long gun behind his back.
They are no different from ordinary people in the world.
I really can't see the majesty of the leader of a religion.
"You know nothing!"
Someone explained in a low voice, "The teachings are spread among the people, and they are not Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect or those Old Taoist. What's the point of dressing up brightly?"
"This guy is really good at fighting. We'll see what happens later..."
The person coming is none other than Wang Han.
He looked at the sun in the sky and smiled.
Fengdu is in the middle of Shu. Naturally, he has heard a little bit about Living Underworld Messenger, and he also knows how powerful the soldiers and horses of the Yin Division are.
But after all, they are all invisible soldiers and horses. They can be summoned even in broad daylight. If the sun shines brightly, their power will definitely be weakened.
And, there are people there to help.
A team of musketeers from Shu King Residence had sneaked into this place secretly this morning. Once Li Yan summoned the Yin soldiers, they would shoot them to death.
Of course, they would not use New Style Firearm in public unless they had no choice. After all, the censor was still in Chengdu.
A whole band of unregistered musketeers.
Even the palace does not dare to expose this matter easily...
Hearing the gossip of the people next to him, Wang Han showed a sneer on his lips.
He didn't waste any time, and went directly to the bluestone outside the house. Without even looking, he just slapped it with his backhand.
Whoosh!
The bluestone shook and all the melon seed shells flew out.
"Okay!"
There were constant cheers from the crowd.
"Still a master at Transformed Strength!"
Anyone with good eyesight would immediately exclaim.
Li Yan The problem left is not to touch the melon seeds or break the bluestone.
Therefore, if you want to take it out, you can only use Martial Power to shake the melon seed peel out, and it is more difficult to control the subtle force than piercing the melon seed peel into bluestone.
The leader of a religion is also a master of Transformed Strength, and is also proficient in martial arts...
That boy is in trouble!
Hearing the exclamations from the side, Wang Han ignored it, but looked at the top of the inn coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Come out, kid, and see if you can afford this reputation!"
According to the original plan, he would pretend that he couldn't stand the arrogance of outsiders in Shu, so he showed up to teach this rude junior a lesson and accidentally killed him.
But since Yuan Guang Taoist Bu Xu is dead, the other party has probably known about it, so there is no need to talk nonsense.
Anyway, Li Yan will not reveal this matter either.
When this matter is brought to light, Shu King Residence may be in a lot of trouble, but he will no longer care about it and will take action with all his strength.
Li Yan was also ready and walked out of the inn carrying Severing Dust Blade.
The two looked at each other coldly, not hiding their murderous intent.
In the attic of the inn in the distance, several Divine Firearm guns also put on their magazines and stuck their guns out of the window...
