The bloody water surged, and corpses floated to the surface of the river.
Black Fish Gang's gang members were all frightened.
In the past, they were the only ones who committed crimes underwater.
Dragging people under the water and watching them choke on water in despair and fear until they drown will give these water bandits an inexplicable sense of excitement.
Especially those so-called masters of martial arts.
He was entangled in the hooks of the iron net and could not use his skills. He struggled desperately, his body was covered in blood and flesh, and he finally died unwillingly.
It is also the talk of these water bandits traveling in the rivers and lakes.
But when it was their turn, they finally realized this fear.
No matter how fast you swim, no matter how good your water skills are, you can't escape at all.
And Li Yan finally knows why Huo Jiao can become the leader of the Raft Sect with "Dragon Snake Plate", and even dares to call himself Dragon King.
With this thing in hand, using Water Escape is as powerful as a tiger.
At this moment, he seemed to be the water god. Black Fish Gang The lives of the water bandits were all determined by his thoughts.
If you are more advanced in Daoism and learn the corresponding techniques, you can make waves in the water and capsize ships like those monsters.
Facing these water bandits, he didn't bother to hold back.
Kill if you can, and show no mercy.
Among all the bandits, only "Black Jiao" has some tricks.
He is not a magician, but he has secret martial arts skills. He has applied special ointment all over his body since he was a child, which allows him to breathe longer and move faster in the water.
When he realized something was wrong, the man turned around and ran away.
He thought he could escape and ascend to heaven by leaving his brothers behind, but before he could swim far, he felt pain in his lower body and his two legs were cut off at the knee level.
Snorkeling underwater relies entirely on the strength of your legs.
As soon as the legs were broken, "Black Jiao" immediately lost its balance like a bird with broken wings, rolled over, and fluttered in the blood.
He could also see underwater, but his vision blurred, and he could vaguely see a pair of cold eyes.
Before he could beg for mercy, his neck hurt and he lost consciousness.
At this time, the Black Fish Gang water bandits were completely destroyed.
They are quite notorious on the Tuojiang River.
But that's how it is in the world. If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
No matter how prestigious you were before, if you offend the wrong people, no one will survive.
No one even knows who killed them.
There will also be more absurd rumors on the nearby rivers and lakes.
Li Yan naturally didn't care and didn't even know this person's name. After cutting off his head, he shook his body and shuttled through the water like a sharp arrow, heading straight for the water bandits' cargo ships.
On the cargo ship, it was the middle-aged man in fine clothes just now.
Seeing the blood staining the river surface, he already realized something was wrong and quickly controlled the cargo ship to leave.
It's a pity that this person is obviously used to living a good life. He may know how to operate a boat, but he is not skilled in it.
I was in a hurry and my head was covered with sweat.
Wow!
The water splashed everywhere, and Li Yan broke out of the water. He shook his sleeves and stood firmly on the board of the ship.
Looking at Li Yan's cold eyes, the middle-aged man knelt down on the ground without saying a word and said, "My hero, please forgive me, my hero, please forgive me. I'm just a passerby and have nothing to do with this matter."
Li Yan said calmly, "The Du family?"
The middle-aged man stiffened and did not dare to speak anymore.
Li Yan was even more certain in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you know who I am, and you also want to survive..."
"Want to live! Want to live!"
Hearing Li Yan's words, the middle-aged man nodded quickly.
Li Yan turned around and looked around, and saw that the old housekeeper Luo An was instructing people to pull out the iron locks. He couldn't get through for a while, so he asked directly, "I just want to know why your Du family wants to harm me?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately hesitated.
Li Yan sneered, "It seems you don't want to live that much."
"I already know that your Du family is a big family, but I can't believe that I can't find anyone who wants to live."
The middle-aged man had a bitter look on his face, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Young Hero Li, I have known you all my life, and I have no grudges, nor do I want to offend you."
"This matter has nothing to do with me. It is an order given by the old patriarch himself. As for why he did this, I really don't know."
"It turned out to be a confused ghost."
Li Yan heard this and sneered, "You don't know anything, yet you dare to come to me for trouble, and you are still alone. Could it be that someone set you up?"
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned ugly.
There are indeed many strange things about him being sent here this time.
The guards were all sent out to do other things, and a talented member of the clan who followed him was sneaking around all day long, not knowing what he was doing...
Also, behind that guy is someone from the third room...
Li Yan didn't know that what he said had already made this person think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Seeing his uncertain expression, Li Yan added to his anger, "Since you don't know anything, just be a fool. But Yellow Springs Road needs to ask clearly who his enemy is!"
After saying that, Severing Dust Blade suddenly raised his head.
"They are in Ziyang!"
The middle-aged man spoke quickly and gritted his teeth, "They said that the Luo family has invited strong reinforcements and must hold Wu Yuqing back. There are other plans in Yibin and they must not be allowed to return home."
Wu Yuqing is the lady on the ship.
I heard from the old housekeeper Luo An that there was a great epidemic in Shuzhong ten years ago and several elders of the Luo family all died.
A few years ago, someone was targeted and plotted again. As a parent, Luo Qinghui was so angry that he had a stroke and collapsed on the bed.
At the critical moment, this lady Wu Yuqing stood up, gradually stabilized her position, and won the hearts of the people.
When the son reaches adulthood, he will give up his position as a parent.
Now it seems that there is another conspiracy against the Luo family.
Of course, Li Yan was not interested in these, but continued to press the middle-aged man for information about the Du family, especially its patriarch.
This middle-aged man's name is Du Ping, and he is the eldest son of the second wife of the Du family. Although he cannot inherit the family business, he is still an important figure in the family and is responsible for selling wine in various places.
Those who buy wine will inevitably have to deal with inns and restaurants.
Therefore, he made friends with a group of Three Religions and Nine Schools.
The situation inside the Du family is also very complicated.
They are the largest wine merchant in Luzhou, and their strength ranks first in the entire Sichuan and Sichuan. However, in the high-walled compound, there are indispensable open and covert fights.
Li Yan doesn't care about these.
What he is more concerned about is that the old patriarch of the Du family has lived for a hundred years, is still full of energy, and mysteriously disappears for a period of time every year.
No matter how you look at it, you think he is a criminal.
But according to Du Ping, this old patriarch has never demonstrated any martial arts skills.
Only Living Underworld Messenger is always looking for the culprit.
This old thing must be hiding a lot of secrets.
It seems that another group of people are the insiders...
Thinking of this, Li Yan said directly, "You follow first. When you get to Ziyang, point out those people and they will help you vent your anger."
"Yes, thank you Young Hero Li."
Du Ping stood up slowly, with a sad look on his face.
He knew that Li Yan wanted him to betray the Du family.
Whatever the reason, there is no turning back.
If this fails...
While he was meditating, the old housekeeper of the Luo family, Luo An, had already led people to drive the painting boat nearby.
"Du Ping, it turns out to be you!"
Seeing Li Yan taking this man on board, the old butler Luo An suddenly became angry, and his eyes overflowed with murderous intent.
"Spare his life first."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Whether your Luo family can escape the disaster this time depends entirely on whether this person is willing to cooperate."
Du Ping looked even more bitter after hearing this.
The old housekeeper Luo An also understood what Li Yan meant. He said no more, but respectfully held his hands in his hands and said, "Young Hero Li, Madam is awake and wants to see you."
"Hmm."
Li Yan nodded and followed the old butler into the boat pavilion.
But as soon as he stepped across the threshold of the boat pavilion, something happened in his heart, and he suddenly turned his head and looked at the mountains on both sides.
"Young Hero Li, what did you find?"
"It seems like someone was peeking just now, please be careful..."
Li Yan didn't raise his head, just whispered a reminder, and strode into the boat pavilion...
"He's back."
Behind the hillside in the distance, a charming woman said in a deep voice.
This woman looks to be over thirty years old, but she is still graceful, elegantly dressed, and beautiful.
This is a deliberate contrast, making it more attractive.
Her name is Jin Cuilian, her name is ordinary, but her identity is extraordinary.
The types of Jianghu Yanmen are also very diverse.
There is Golden Swallow, who takes the route of building bridges on the front line and buying and selling information. Although he lives in a brothel, his power is not small, and he can eat both black and white.
There is Colorful Swallow, who uses women to deceive people. Most of them work alone, and there are also mothers and daughters who work together to deceive people.
The ones with the worst reputations are "Yaohei" and "Wind Fire Black".
Most of the "demon blacks" are young women, or they kidnap children of four or five years old, make the children get lost and cry, and then pretend to be the children's mothers and come to the door to perform deception or step in for the thieves.
The second is to use beautiful and delicate women to sneak into wealthy families and stay overnight, and then work together to defraud and steal money.
"Wind Fire Black" also uses the same method, but it is soft in and hard out, and then joins the thieves to kill people and steal goods.
This Jin Cuilian is Chengdu Prefecture, the famous evil and black leader, with a bunch of women under his command to make money for her.
Because I offended someone, I took refuge in Shu King Residence.
But when I saw her hand holding the seal, the pupils of her eyes turned black, and the scene below seemed to be right in front of my eyes. She could even read the words based on the shape of her mouth.
Li Yan entered the cabin with her back, so she didn't see anything.
Old Taoist, a man next to him, shook his head and said, "This guy is difficult to deal with. The method of water escape is mysterious and he is still on the river. I'm afraid if we make a move, we will be able to escape through water and we won't be able to catch him."
"And that Celestial Decree is even more troublesome..."
Old Taoist's name is Qin Wanpei, and he is the master of Pu'an Temple in Sichuan. He is a cautious person, and this time he just wants to follow behind and handle errands.
"Everyone!"
A cold snort suddenly interrupted his words.
It was the pro-military leader of the Musketeers.
He looked at the crowd with a gloomy expression and said, "As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor's worries, Prince wants you to get the things back and kill this kid. This must be done!"
When Jin Cuilian and Qin Wanpei heard this, their expressions turned ugly.
The two of them have many disciples under their command, and they are usually the masters who respond to every call. They are not good at each other.
If King of Shu reprimanded him like this, that would be fine.
How could a little pro-military leader have any qualifications?
On the other hand, "Ghost Painted Face" saw this and suddenly started to smooth things over, "Daoist Master Qin is also afraid that the mission will fail. We can't explain it to Prince. Please don't let your kindness be offended."
He said, looking at Qin Wanpei, "Fellow Daoist is the master of Pu'an Temple in Shu. Why don't we set up an altar to invite Tian Lei and take advantage of tonight's sneak attack to kill Li Yan directly."
Qin Wanpei was very happy when he heard this, "Fellow Daoist is not a layman, how can he say such a thing?"
Pu'an Dharma can be divided into Buddhist Pu'an Dharma and Daoist Pu'an Dharma.
Second Gate all have independent systems. Now they are integrated with each other and mixed with Shu witchcraft. Therefore, Pu'an Dharma has both monks and Daoist priests.
Daomen Pu'an is most famous for its thunder method and incantation method.
Qin Wanpei is angry because Lei Fa is harsh.
That requires the memorial to be mounted, and the time, place, and people must be favorable for it to be used smoothly.
Not to mention whether Qin Wanpei is willing to consume the Ancestral Altar magic talisman, even if he wanted to, it would be impossible to summon disciples from Suining immediately.
"Ghost Painted Face" saw this and shook his head and said, "In that case, how about the Daoist Master using a spell to hold him down? As long as he is held back, the Musketeers will launch, and he will have no chance to use his escape technique."
After saying that, he looked at the leader of the musketeers and said, "Sir, this is a remote waterway and no one will find it. You won't refuse, right?"
He said this, the trap is extremely clever.
First, he deliberately proposed the thunder method, knowing that Qin Wanpei would refuse. Then he proposed to use the magic method. The other party would have no reason to hide behind and watch the show.
The same method was used against the leader of the musketeers.
Five Phoenix Creek Ancient Town, no fire was fired. If you still refuse now, it will be unjustifiable.
Qin Wanpei is also an old man. He knew he had been fooled when he heard it. After cursing secretly, he said, "That kid has 'Wish-Fulfilling Pearl' to cover him up. He must take what he has with him before he can cast the spell."
The leader of the musketeers said coldly, "If you can hold people back, I will naturally give the order to fire."
"Okay!"
"Ghost Painted Face" nodded and said, "I will personally take care of that kid's nails and hair, and I will leave the rest to you two."
Qin Wanpei said helplessly, "Let's talk about it if we can get it."
The leader of the musketeers silently nodded in agreement.
"Okay!"
"Ghost Painted Face" looked at the painted boat on the river, murderous intent surged in his eyes, "I know there is an abandoned old village ahead, so I will set up an ambush there!"
"Meet Madam."
Li Yan raised his hand slightly.
But in the boat pavilion, I saw a woman in white clothes lying down on the bed, but her face was pale. She wanted to drink medicine and asked the embroiderer for help.
It is none other than Wu Yuqing, the current head of the Luo family.
There was a white cloth wrapped around his head, and there was faint blood oozing out.
Li Yan smiled secretly in his heart and knew the reason.
It must have been just now that the boat suddenly stopped and jolted, causing him to fall off the boat and bruise his head, but he recovered his consciousness immediately.
"Thank you Young Hero Li."
Although Wu Yuqing looked miserable, his words were still dignified, "I had no choice but to let Young Hero Li work so hard. I hope you can forgive me."
"It should."
Li Yan slightly raised his hand and expressed his doubts, "My wife and I have never met each other, why do you believe that I will help?"
Wu Yuqing hesitated for a moment, waved his hand for everyone to leave, and then said, "To be honest, I have noticed you since the young hero was in Ezhou."
Li Yan was shocked, "Why is this?"
He would not think that this woman liked him.
Wu Yuqing did not hide anything, and said with a solemn expression, "To be honest, I was born in the Bloodline Jade Emperor Sect, and my family teacher is also Living Underworld Messenger."
"Oh?"
Li Yan became interested, "It is very rare for a person who teaches the Dharma to become Living Underworld Messenger. I wonder where that senior is now?"
"The master is dead."
Wu Yuqing A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "When he left, the last news was that he had discovered a ghost cult demon."
"I suspect that it is Mr. Du Lineage..."
