Li Yan has guessed what the scene will be like when taking on a mission from Heaven for the first time.
Perhaps like the Yin Division mission, part of the heavenly scene will be presented in an illusion, maybe Jade Towers and Pavilions of White Jade City.
But I didn't expect that it would be in such a form.
Although Li Yan was full of curiosity, he did not dare to expose the abnormality. He pretended not to notice anything and came to Stone Well.
He lowered his head and looked around, and immediately noticed something different.
Originally, Stone Well displayed the Yin Division mission, and the black water inside would roar and swirl, but now it is shrouded in golden light, but the ancient well does not wave.
The strange thing is that there is no display in the golden light.
Li Yan stretched out his hand to touch the golden light, and there was nothing unusual.
He frowned, pretending to be confused, but actually he already had a guess.
It is estimated that the Heavenly Court temporarily issued a mission, and it will only appear after reaching a consensus with the Yinsi side.
Sure enough, another vague voice came from the distance:
"Yinsi is not you Thunder Department..."
"Judge Zhou, who ordered this?"
"Of course, but it must be agreed by King Yama..."
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, his mind was running wildly.
Although it is vague, many things can be discerned from this few words.
For example, the relationship between the underworld and heaven.
In some folklore, the underworld is managed by heaven. If Sun Dasheng caused trouble in the underworld, Yama would have to complain to heaven.
But listening to these words, the two sides seemed to be talking on equal terms, except that Heavenly Court Thunder Manor was more forceful.
It felt to him like two organizations were negotiating...
There is also the title "Judge Zhou", which should be Judge Lei Mansion.
Legend has it that Thunder City is in the Jade Clarity True King mansion and Azure Heaven Upper Brahma Qi. It is 2,300 miles away from the mansion and the city is eighty-one feet high.
The Lord generates all things, drives the seas and mountains, moves the four seasons, raises and lowers yin and yang, records good and punishes evil.
Internally, it is divided into one government and two hospitals Three Bureaus.
The first house is Divine Firmament Jade Clarity Manor, or Divine Thunder Jade Manor for short.
The two houses are Five Thunders Institute and Exorcism Institute.
Three Bureaus is Myriad Gods Thunder Department, Thunder Capital Department, Thunder Ministry Department.
The worship of thunder has existed since ancient times.
But the emergence of Lei Mansion is also inseparable from the reform of human sacrifice.
For example, the division of heaven Thunder Department began in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the Northern Song Era period, Daoist Shenxiao and Qingwei sects advocated the implementation of thunder methods, so Xuanmen sacrifices were reformed and Lei Mansion came into being.
Among them, there are indeed the positions of left and right judges in Lei Mansion.
Is this judge's surname "Zhou"?
I don't know if he is someone who succeeded in ascending to the gods in ancient times.
Or another existence...
Just as Li Yan was meditating, the result was already coming from the other side.
"Hmph!"
The Red Robe giant shadow snorted, obviously dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more.
Buzz!
Then, the golden light trembled in front of Li Yan's eyes, and a scroll of gold, silk and jade gradually appeared. After unfolding, it was densely packed with lightning-like lines.
It looks like a Chinese character, but Li Yan doesn't recognize it at all.
He was speechless and carefully reached out to touch it.
Then, rays of light and shadow flashed in front of my eyes:
It was a high mountain, somewhere deep in the clouds. A figure wearing a square scarf and holding a bamboo stick strode away. Behind him was a young man holding a huge bamboo talisman and kneeling down...
The young man put on Daoist robes, practiced in the mountains, and often captured spirit medicine who had become a spirit to refine elixirs, and was surrounded by luck...
The Daoist had many disciples. When he died in old age, his disciples put him in the coffin. Unexpectedly, before he could carry him to the burial place, the coffin was filled with smoke. When he opened it, only a huge bamboo talisman was left...
The bamboo talisman circulated in the world, and was later thrown into a crevice in the mountain by a vague figure, causing Earth Dragon Turning Over...
A monk came, entered the collapsed cave, got the bamboo talisman, and his whole expression began to change drastically...
Looking at these lights and shadows, a lot of information poured in at the same time.
Li Yan's expression gradually became shocked.
After a while, he came back to his senses, his face full of disbelief.
No wonder many things are strange.
His intelligence was wrong,
The person behind the scenes is not Jiang God Great Lord at all!
In other words,
This Jiang God Great Lord has been killed by Li Daitao!
The Daoist in the illusion is named "Li Wenyuan".
This name is very uncommon, but it and the master are well-known in ancient books. It is Nine Doubts Mountain alchemist Shen Wentai, which is recorded in <"Biographies of Divine Immortals">.
It describes: Shen Wentai is one of the Nine Suspicious Men. He got the secret of the alchemy and earth talisman from the Jiang gods, and it was effective. He wanted to rest in Kunlun for more than two thousand years, so he passed it on to Li Wenyuan and said, "The earth talisman is illegal to take medicine, and it is useless to practice the Tao." Wenyuan then taught him the secret, and he later ascended to heaven.
This master and apprentice were very low-key, but they succeeded in becoming gods one after another.
What happened next became strange.
Li Wenyuan, became an immortal by sending a bamboo talisman.
Similar methods include "Staff Dissolution" and "Liberation by Violence".
In any case, it is considered to be out of the cycle of life and death.
But then, the magic weapon he left behind was thrown into Ba Mountain, breaking the seal of the residual soul of Jiang God Great Lord.
Li Wenyuan, another ray of true soul secretly descended to earth, merged with the residual soul of Jiang God Great Lord, and attached to the body of "Lang Wu".
This "Lang Wu" has changed his temperament drastically since then. Not only did he resort to evil methods to survive and disrupt Yin and Yang, but he also began to form Dragon Worship Sect...
Therefore, Li Yan took on two tasks at once.
One comes from the Yin Division and drives "Lang Wu" into the netherworld. The reward is a Celestial Decree.
The other one comes from the Heavenly Court Thunder Manor.
I found "Li Wenyuan" and asked for thunder to kill him.
The reward was something that made him very excited. It was a Thunder Gang, also named Innate Firm Qi. It was mysterious and extraordinary and had two ways to use it.
One is to store it in Lei Mansion, which can summon a thunder.
Orthodox Xuan Gate He has seen the use of lightning techniques before. Setting up the mandala is time-consuming and laborious. It also requires calculation of the right time and place, and many high-level skills can be performed at the same time.
But he can directly consume Lei Gang's summons.
The second is to allow Soul Hooking Lightning Rope to absorb it.
At this point, Leisuo no longer needs to absorb thunder from the sky, but can generate thunder and lightning on its own. Although the supply is limited, it is no longer afraid of being completely consumed.
Other thunder methods will also be enhanced accordingly.
What a good thing!
Li Yan was excited.
If you can collect enough Lei Gang, you are still afraid of a bird...
After receiving the mission, the surrounding dense fog quickly dissipated.
"Donor Li, what did you find?"
Huiming's questioning voice came from the side.
But Li Yan stayed for a longer time this time. Although he was only outside for a few breaths, he was keenly noticed by Huiming.
"Then 'Lang Wu' is indeed a criminal."
Li Yan replied in a deep voice, "But he has a divine weapon on him that can cover him up, so he only accepted the mission and didn't know his traces."
It's not just "Lang Wu" that remains missing.
There is also "Li Wenyuan" who smuggled himself into the mortal world, and the mysterious man who put the bamboo talisman into Ba Mountain to help him descend to the mortal world.
His figure is vague,
It is the artifact that covers up the performance of Heavenly Secret...
"Master Huiming, thank you very much."
Now that the result was obtained, Li Yan had no time to visit the temple, so he left immediately and was sent out of the gate by Huiming.
"Donor Li, there is no need to be polite."
Huiming nodded calmly and said, "The poor monk helped you out of selfish motives. That person harmed many of my brothers, but I am unable to take revenge, so I can only rely on the help of the donor."
Li Yan said sternly, "Master, don't worry, after that demon is punished, I will send someone to send you a message!"
Say it, bow your hands, say goodbye and leave.
After leaving the temple with Wu Ba, he looked back, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.
Now that I think about it, this matter is not that simple.
All practitioners have the ultimate goal of becoming a god and becoming an immortal. Over the past thousands of years, many people have fallen on this path.
How could anyone be willing to sneak down to earth?
What's even weirder is that someone actually responds!
In addition to his ultimatum, there are other channels of communication between the Great Luo Dharma Realm and the human world, indicating that Heavenly Laws has been offended long ago.
There are so many people who possess magical weapons for protection.
This thing is no big deal. Every protective artifact represents the heritage of a dynasty.
I don't know how much energy it will take to collect them.
Thinking of this, Li Yan became more and more wary.
He has always suspected that Ghost Sect Leader is just an identity of Zhao Changsheng, and there are some people behind it.
For example, "Lu Sheng" who went to Shu King Residence together.
This guy is someone who dares to salvage "Nine Cauldrons". He has extraordinary abilities and is definitely not one of Zhao Changsheng's subordinates.
That's all, I've already accepted the mission anyway.
If you encounter these guys in the future, those who deserve to be thrown into the underworld will be thrown into the underworld, and those who deserve to be Five Thunder Strike will attract thunder from the sky!
These guys are causing trouble in the world, no one can be spared!
While Li Yan was thinking, they had already reached the bottom of the mountain.
A man was waiting beside the mountain road. He was tall and thick, and his hair was wrapped in white. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and respectfully held his hands in his hands and said, "But Young Hero Li, please let me wait for you here."
"Trouble."
Li Yan wanted to refuse, but he saw that it was still early and Wu Ba next to him was very interested, so he didn't say much.
Under the leadership of this man, the two of them came to a large shed on the east side of the market. Someone was waiting outside, and they were led in respectfully.
This large shed was quite large, and it was bustling with people. It was filled with people joking with each other, and even wealthy gentry in gorgeous clothes.
Generally speaking, Prosperity people don't want to come to such a sleazy place and watch a show with the mud-legged people.
To attract them to come, there must be two tricks.
Seeing this, Li Yan also sat down with Wu Ba and waited quietly.
Clang clang clang!
Suddenly the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and the puppets appeared.
It is indeed the appearance of "Puppet".
This puppet show is completely different from what Li Yan has seen before.
Ordinary puppets are not big, but the one in front of you is as tall as a person, and is carried and controlled by the performer below.
The puppets are not only tall and burly, but also gorgeously dressed, including Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou, with vivid facial features.
The craftsmen pulled the thread with their hands, and it seemed as if it was coming to life.
Most of these puppet shows are about myths.
This time, it happens to be Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
The sound of drums and music was heard, and someone began to sing lyrics.
To be honest, compared to the serious Sichuan Opera Troupe, the singing is not as good as it is, but people obviously don't come to listen to the music.
This puppet alone is enough to dazzle anyone who looks at it.
There are puppets who dress and take off their belts as dexterously as real ones,
There are Lü Dongbin whisks flying and sword lights flashing.
At the climax, there is even a Han Zhongli puppet blowing fire to light wax, and the flames jump, showing amazing skills.
These puppets move their hands and feet, their eyes move, and they are lifelike.
"Okay! Okay!"
Wu Ba, like a child, clapped his hands and laughed happily.
Li Yan is also smiling and watching carefully.
After watching the puppet show here, they left immediately, came to the pier, and took a boat to Crouching Dragon Mountain.
Guangde Temple The temple fair here is even more grand and lively.
This time, there were no surprises.
Li Yan took Wu Ba to eat and drink, watched Money Clapper, watched a magic show, and met a lot of entertainers.
Before you know it, night falls.
The temple fair is equally lively at night, with lanterns dotted like stars, and those dancing grass dragons and playing fire-breathing, no less than during the day.
Unfortunately, after a day of shopping, Li Yan was a little bored. Wu Ba also had a big appetite, so he simply turned back.
They didn't go out for the next few days.
Sha LiFei is still busy practicing. Lu San and Wang Dao Xuan are busy with their own things. Only Li Yan gives Wu Ba basic skills from time to time.
A few days later, the winter solstice arrived.
As the saying goes, the winter solstice is as big as the new year.
The winter solstice in Shu is even more like this.
As soon as the winter solstice arrives, the New Year pigs will be killed and made into sausages.
Dumplings are a must.
But the most important thing is to make a good pot of lamb soup.
Early in the morning, the servants of the Luo family started busy, slaughtering three sheep, making mutton soup, cooking mutton, and making mutton dumplings.
Li Yan and the others had a happy holiday.
In addition to eating, there are many customs during the Winter Solstice in Sichuan.
For example, during the winter solstice, people will take out all their food and grains to bask in the sun, saying it can drive away the cold...
Sacrifice to the stove is indispensable, and every household is filled with various offerings in front of the Kitchen God statue...
Some people go to the mountain to worship their ancestors early in the morning.
Li Yan They wandered around the world, so naturally they didn't do such things, but Wang Dao Xuan also performed a ritual ceremony, which was considered a blessing to everyone Increasing Lifespan.
Busy and lively, we have passed the winter solstice...
Boom, boom, boom!
The next day, before dawn, someone knocked on the door.
The servant of the Luo family opened the door and saw a big man standing outside, wearing a bamboo hat and a long coat, with a beard and a dusty face.
"You are?"
Without waiting for the servant to ask, Li Yan quickly walked out of the room, smiled and said with cupped hands, "Brother Wu, why are you here? I also said that I would leave tomorrow and rush to Fengdu."
The visitor is none other than Cangzhou Wu Qu.
Not only is he a Eight Extremities Fist master, but he is also a Hua Guang Sect warlock.
When he was in Wuchang, Li Yan met him in Guishan Competition, and it was through his introduction that he came into contact with "Yellow Springs Organization".
"Let's talk after we get in!"
Wu Qu looked serious, looked around, and whispered.
"Oh?"
Li Yan frowned and quickly invited him into the room. After ordering the servant to pour a cup of hot tea, he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Wu Qu looks like something wrong at first glance.
It seems that he has made a move against someone, and his murderous intent has not dissipated yet.
Wu Qu looked a little complicated. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "The Living Underworld Messenger I was assisting was killed!"
"When?"
Li Yan Hearing this, he immediately frowned.
The characteristic of Yellow Springs Organization is usually one "Living Underworld Messenger", paired with several martial arts masters to protect each other, helping and relying on each other.
The relationship between the two parties is very close.
Wu Qu was sympathetic to him, but even so, he never revealed the identity of the "Living Underworld Messenger" he was guarding.
"Just the day before yesterday!"
Wu Qu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "The Living Underworld Messenger I am guarding is a shaman from Anyue County. He is not very good at martial arts, so his identity is kept secret. Only I and the other guardian know about it."
"I rushed to pick him up and go to Fengdu, but the day before I arrived, he was killed in the county jail!"
