The night is dark and the fishing fires are far away.
Ziyang County The mountains behind the city are lush with trees.
There are trails in the mountains. Because this place is close to the Tuojiang waterway, not many people take the land route. The mountain trails collapsed due to autumn rain, and no one took care of it.
In the back mountain col, there is a small temple of the mountain god.
The incense is not strong, the temple is almost abandoned, and it faces a quarry. Almost half of the mountain has been hollowed out. Someone also carved a stone Buddha inside, but only a mold was made and the work was stopped.
Damage to the mountain god, damage to the stone Buddha.
They looked at each other with an inexplicable sense of joy.
Mountain God Temple In the main hall, candles are dimly lit.
The statue with mottled paint rolled to the ground. Judging from the obvious footprints on its body, it was kicked over by someone from the stage.
In the center of the hall, twenty-four candlelights were arranged in a magic circle, and they were wrapped with red ropes and hung with talismans with black characters on a white background.
In the center of the candlelight circle, Attendant stands a statue of a god.
This statue looks rough, dressed in Animal Hide, with bulging muscles, wide eyes, ferocious features, a sharp knife in one hand, and a human head in the other.
Two Daoist priests sat cross-legged in front of the statue.
Their faces were ugly, black blood oozed from the corners of their mouths, and there was a putrid smell. They made sutras with both hands at the same time, and kept chanting in their mouths.
Others were gathered outside the magic circle, holding a short blade that was very similar to the one in the hand of the statue. Their fingers flicked slightly, tinkling like music.
At the same time, he shook his head and shook his head, as if he was crazy.
The red rope wrapped around the candle had a pungent smell of blood, as if it had been soaked in blood.
When the candle burns to the area where the red rope is located, all the red ropes break immediately, and the white charms tied to them also burn to fly ash in an instant.
The two Daoist priests in the middle suddenly opened their eyes.
On their necks, there was an obvious blood mark, as if a sharp blade had circled around their heads, slicing the skin and causing blood to flow.
But strangely, their faces began to improve.
After spitting out another stream of black blood, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"What on earth is that?"
One of them wiped away the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, but still felt lingering fear.
When they found Du Ping, it was almost dusk and there were still pedestrians on the street, so it was not easy to rush in and kill people with open fire.
When I saw a guest coming to my door, I thought of using Puppet Technique to control the guest and kill all the people inside.
That guest is none other than Chengdu Tycoon...
"It's definitely not human anyway!"
Another Daoist looked at the cracks on the statue with uncertain eyes, "It seems that the Luo family still underestimated the masters and didn't know where to find them."
In addition to these Daoists, there were more than a dozen swordsmen sitting around, all wearing short attire, carrying long swords on their backs, and with cold eyes.
In addition, there is a young man. Although he is dressed simply, he has fair skin and a delicate appearance. He also wears an jade ring on his finger, and he has a Prosperity aura.
He said with an ugly face, "Keeping Du Ping is a hidden danger after all."
"The people in the first room failed in their cultivation and may not survive for a few days. According to the rules, the people in the second room are in charge. They don't know the details. Sooner or later those accounts will be found out."
Just as Li Yan guessed, this member of the Du family is the ghost sect Anzi. After leaving the village, he relied on sorcery to seize people's property and gradually became the largest wine merchant in Sichuan and Sichuan.
But as the shadows fall for a long time, they will always change.
The Du family spread out, the population increased, and it was divided into five houses.
Some people have cultivation qualifications and are secretly recruited to become followers of the ghost sect, while others know nothing about it and use it as a superficial cover.
But how many people can awaken Divine Ability?
The reason why Li Yan is seen a lot is because he is in this field and the people he deals with are all of the same kind.
If dispersed to various regions, they will be relatively rare.
Once inside Lineage, the population is even more sparse.
As the population expands, their power is also diluted. If the old patriarch had not been a member of the ghost sect, they would not be able to maintain even this little power.
It's not like they haven't thought about converting the entire Lineage into religion.
But people have different opinions, and not everyone likes to play this game, and was almost reported by the tribe in exchange for Prosperity.
Moreover, Lineage cannot do business without these people.
At this point, the Du family was divided into two parts: light and dark.
It is precisely because of this pattern that they were not discovered.
The young man's name is Du Yuanguang. This time he came out with two tasks.
One is to kill Lo Family Madam Wu, and the other is to let Du Ping die in an accident.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but an urgent message suddenly came from the Du family, causing them to withdraw most of their strength and spread rumors everywhere to praise and kill Li Yan.
As a result, none of them were accomplished.
Thinking of the punishment he might suffer in the future, Du Yuanguang felt a surge of resentment in his heart, "The person Li Yan killed was a member of the Ezhou Ghost Cult. What does it have to do with our Du family? I really can't figure out why Old Ancestor would get involved in this muddy water?"
"Yangguang, be careful what you say!"
When one of the Daoists heard this, his expression immediately changed slightly.
Du Yuanguang quickly stopped talking and changed the subject. "Second uncle, there are a lot of people from the Bloodline Jade Emperor Sect. They don't want to mess with us, but they will definitely protect the Luo family woman. What do you think we should do?"
The Daoist thought for a moment and then said, "Let the people in Yibin act more quickly. We have already said hello officially. The Luo family has offended Shu King Residence again, and no one will support them."
"As long as things are done, there's nothing I can do about it if I go back."
"As for Li Yan, we don't need to provoke him. As long as we keep leaking information about him to Shu King Residence, we can kill him with a borrowed knife!"
Before he finished speaking, a voice sounded outside:
"What you think is quite beautiful!"
"Who?!"
"Copy guy!"
Everyone in the temple was shocked.
They have warlocks and swordsmen, and they also released Yin Soul in the mountains in advance for surveillance and observation. They never thought that anyone could get in.
Clang Clang Clang!
The swordsmen drew their swords one after another, and Martial Power erupted all over their bodies.
Originally they were sitting cross-legged, but they jumped up and flew towards the outside of the temple.
They are all dead men trained by the Du family over the years.
Most of them have no family members, are under drug control, have good martial arts qualifications, and have been trained by masters. Most of them have already entered Hidden Strength.
This power is enough to dominate the local area.
But before these people landed, they saw a figure outside the ruined temple. It was Li Yan.
Seeing the swordsmen jumping out, Li Yan moved faster.
He had already taken out Flintlock Firearm and pulled the trigger directly.
The gate of this dilapidated Mountain God Temple is narrow, and the swordsmen rushed out. Although they were not crowded into a group, they were gathered in a straight line, which was more suitable for shooting.
Li Yan suddenly spoke in order to create this opportunity.
Boom!
The fire roared and smoke dispersed.
Li Yan used fragmented projectiles. As soon as the gunshot rang out, a fine rain of bullets immediately enveloped the entire area.
The projectile Martial Power is full of energy. Although its power is dispersed, its penetrating power is still strong. Both the swordsmen in front and behind will burst into blood.
Just one shot and a large piece fell.
Li Yan quickly changed the magazine, but did not fire.
Those people at Shu King Residence used Divine Firearm, which was a long gun, and the magazine they used did not match his.
Without tools at hand, he would not dare to dismantle the magazine and reload it at will, so he did not have much in stock and had to use it sparingly.
These people had been shot through their internal organs by projectiles. Although they were not dead, they were fatally injured. There was no magic bullet, and there was basically no hope of survival.
Any more cuts are a waste.
The reason for shooting was to eliminate interference.
The real enemy is still within the ruined temple.
Phew~
In the ruined temple, the candlelight suddenly went out.
A strange spell sounded in the darkness.
These spells are incomprehensible at all, with a lot of tongue-licking sounds.
Ancient Witchcraft?
Li Yan frowned slightly and became vigilant.
Spells also include the evolution of language.
The people of the ancient Savage Wilderness tribe used a lot of tongue-licking sounds, even the ancient accents of Central Plains. It was not until later that they gradually became more precise.
In many countries around the world, there are still a lot of tongue-licking sounds.
The evolution of witchcraft also has a process.
Those ancient witchcraft still retain the bloody method of human sacrifice.
With so many tongue-playing sounds, the inheritance is certainly not short.
Then, the book in his arms suddenly started to heat up.
Li Yan's eyes lit up, he suddenly jumped up, quickly retreated, and hid in the nearby dense forest, and then began to accept the mission.
He had some doubts in his heart. Although these were members of the Ghost Sect, with Gouyi's current detection ability, he should be able to sense something from a thousand meters away.
But now, it suddenly appeared.
What he didn't know was that the guys in front of him were desperate to provoke the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun, and almost destroyed the statue of Attendant.
The breath was weak and restrained, and it was only now that it was activated.
Li Yan didn't think much and quickly passed through the fog.
Since I got Jade Accessories, I can see a lot more scenes through the ultimatum, but it's the same thing back and forth, there's nothing strange about it.
It's still that weird space. In front of the vague square table in the distance, a figure wearing Red Robe can be vaguely seen.
Li Yan seems to be shrunk on the sand table.
The figure also became extremely tall, like a giant spirit god.
This should be the God of the Underworld. Li Yan didn't dare to be noticed by the other party, so he pretended not to see anything and quickly came to the well.
Sure enough, what appeared was Black Well Blood Water.
This represents something to do with escaping demonic energy.
Li Yan's eyes are inevitably a little disappointed.
Although Shen Gang is more precious, he has already accumulated a few in his ultimatum, and what he needs more now is Celestial Decree as a means to keep the bottom of the box.
But something is better than nothing.
He learned from the people at Yellow Springs Organization that there were not that many opportunities to get underworld missions.
It was so dense before because ghost cult activities in Ezhou were frequent.
This time when I arrived in Shu, I had no missions for a long time.
Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly observed Black Well Blood Water.
But at this moment, in the distant space, the sound of armor rumbled, and another huge figure came forward, saying at the same time, "Hey, it's this person again, what did he find this time?"
Li Yan, who was observing the black well, suddenly felt something in his heart.
He had heard this voice before.
At that time in Xianshan, we found a group of convicts and gained huge rewards. Li Yan heard this voice talking about it, so he gave up so many Celestial Decree rewards and chose "Five Directions Fengdu Banner".
To be honest, he feels cheated now.
"Five Directions Fengdu Banner" is really good, it is equivalent to getting Five Camps of Soldiers and Horses, and it is not like other Dharma lines, which require fixing the mountain gate, training troops, withdrawing troops, fighting rampant, catching and releasing rampant, which consumes a lot of energy every year.
But Dharma Treasure also has many inconveniences.
For example, when using it, it must be arranged in advance, and someone must open the altar and control it.
And his fighting style is mostly close combat.
Therefore, this treasure has also become the team Dharma Treasure. It is usually cooperated with Wang Dao Xuan. He opens it and the other party controls it, so that it can be used smoothly.
Now that he is alone, most battles happen suddenly. Even if there is a chance to use them at the same time, he will inevitably be in a hurry.
Furthermore, this thing is very picky about its location.
Without the huge Killing Intent support from the underworld of the Yin Division, the combat effectiveness of the Yin soldiers will also decrease. Only in places with strong Yin Energy can it play a decisive role.
All in all, it's not that convenient to use.
While Li Yan was meditating, two figures in the distance started talking.
"Return to Five Paths General, it's Zuo ShouQuan demonic energy."
"Well, I will capture it this time."
The other voice was slightly silent and said, "General, you released Five Directions Fengdu Banner last time. The treasure of the Dharma Realm cannot be given privately. It has violated the <Yin Law> and is not allowed to go to the human world again."
Is it Five Paths General?
Li Yan was shocked when he heard it.
Ordinary people may not know this god, but in fact it is the great god of the underworld, who is responsible for patrolling the world, claiming lives and arresting souls.
Moreover, the position is not low.
According to rumors, although he is not in charge of the Hades Palace, he still commands the ghost soldiers of Hell, and even has the responsibility of supervising the Underworld Division to prevent misjudgments.
Although he is a general, his authority is comparable to Yama.
He is such a great god...
"Hmph, that's ridiculous!"
But I heard Five Paths General say angrily, "I have not been seen in the world for many years, and my incense is not strong. Celestial Decree is not enough, so naturally I have to replace it with others."
"And you, you are slandering my reputation. When did you become a bandit again? Everyone calls me like a tiger. How can this be unreasonable?"
"Is there no one who bullies me Luo Feng Mountain!"
Good guy, there is also a big melon!
Li Yan was excited and tried to calm down.
Five Paths General is the deity recognized by Buddhism and Taoism. It has a great influence among the people. It is said that it has many deeds of sympathizing with the weak, fulfilling lovers and acquitting the innocent.
In the minds of people in some areas, the reputation is better than Yama.
There is a saying, "When you turn your head, you will encounter the five paths, and when you open your eyes, you will see Yama."
But in some places, it is regarded as a bad omen.
Jin Yuhuan recorded in "The Classic of the Three Kingdoms": Before Cui Jishu was killed, his wife had a nightmare in the daytime. In the dream, she saw a man about one foot tall with black hair all over his body, who seemed to be approaching her.
The local wizard explained that this is Five Paths General, and it is an unlucky sign to appear in someone's home.
Until now, some people have rumored it to be "Five Bandit Generals", which has evolved from a single god to five gods. The origin has also been changed, saying that they are five bandits during the Yongguang reign of Emperor Fei of the Song Dynasty.
What's even more absurd is that there are already rumors that Five Paths General likes to fall in love with other people's wives and daughters, and also collects beautiful female ghosts.
So much so that in the story of Jin Ping Mei, Po Wang also warned Ximen Qing that Pan Jinlian is the daughter of Five Paths General, which is very unlucky.
The good Yinsi master turned into a pervert.
In the past, Li Yan would have only thought it was a rumor from the common people, but now he knows that the power of human sacrifice can also affect the legal world.
Just like heaven and earth, they have gone through several changes.
For example, Manifest Saint True Lord, whose surname is Yang and Li, are still confused.
It seems that there is a force deliberately smearing...
