The room became quiet.
After hearing this, the woman who was studying ink stiffened and stopped. After being silent for a long time, she said, "I don't know either."
"Prince, life and death are inherently impermanent. Besides, it's just a dream. We haven't yet learned whether it's true or false, so why should you be persistent?"
Xiao Jinghong held the woman's hand and said seriously:
"No matter what, I have to give it a try..."
In their room, a jade seal faintly emitted Spiritual Light, blocking any Divine Ability detection...
The dishes at Wangfu are not luxurious, but they are very particular.
For example, the stewed chicken is simmered over slow fire. It takes a long time and tastes delicious. Coriander and Sichuan Peppercorn are also added to enhance the flavor...
Another example is the fried shredded pork. Although beef is used, it is marinated with starchy eggs, making it extremely tender and tender.
Li Yan This is the first time I have seen this kind of craftsmanship.
If the cook in the palace has Divine Ability, he must be Vegetable General.
The only drawback is that the quantity is small.
It didn't matter how many of them there were, but Wu Ba licked all the plates clean and was only half full, so he went to the trouble of getting some pastries.
The stay is comfortable, the food is delicious, and fatigue is gone.
At this time, night has fallen, the night is cold and the wind is cold, the lanterns outside the room reflect the snow, and there is silence everywhere.
Although various defensive measures have been deployed, they have long been accustomed to taking turns to keep vigil.
Li Yan took charge of the first half of the night. He meditated for a while, then lit candles, sat at the table and opened his luggage.
In the battle with Ghost Opera Troupe, the loot is not much.
The most valuable ones are naturally those New Style Firearm.
But this thing belongs to Commandery Commandant Office. After dismantling Sha LiFei, it was found that Secret Mark was left inside.
Moreover, Chengdu Prefecture Commandery Commandant Office can no longer be trusted.
If you want to sell it, you have to do some tricks.
But there was something else that aroused his interest.
The first is Ghost Opera Troupe Wu Sheng's facial makeup. Di Qing and Saint Guan facial makeup are easy to say. They refer to the Nuo Noodles method.
Ancient wizards usually used this method to communicate with ghosts and gods.
Singing opera is meant to entertain the gods, so naturally there are similar methods, but Pear Garden Troupe has more ordinary people, so he doesn't know what secret inheritance it has.
The key is the last one.
"Hanging Guest Star Lord" facial makeup is rare in troupes, and it seems to be mixed with some "Worshiping the Stars" techniques.
Star worship has been around since ancient times.
Whether it is Orthodox Xuan Gate or the side door of Dharma, there are them.
Since the Yin and Zhou dynasties, there have been ceremonies to welcome and send off festivals and sacrifices, and even related folk customs are still preserved in many places.
For example, in Shaanzhou, Jinzhou, Yuzhou and other places, the sky is called "Old Heaven Grandfather" and the sun is called "Sun Grandfather"...
For example, in Ezhou, there is a saying that "don't face east in the morning, don't face west in the evening, and don't face south in the afternoon". Some temples also have to do "Sun Birth" and "Worshiping the Dipper and Paying Homage to Truth"...
There are countless ethnic groups gathering in Shu.
Although it is rare to invite "sangmen" and "diaoke", there may be some evil sect that specializes in research.
What really matters to Li Yan is his ability to use ""!
"" is the mutated innate energy of the evil spirit. Every time it is encountered, it is very troublesome, whether it is the Oriental monk outside Chang'an City or the water tiger suppressed at the Wushan Goddess Peak...
But this is the first time I have seen this method of using Yaoyui in a small amount and being able to control it.
When they suppressed "Mist Guest" before, they also received a "Yao Qi" Qi, which was suppressed by Wang Dao Xuan, and then suppressed and obliterated by Qingcheng Mountain.
This method is too easy to get out of control, Li Yan is not greedy.
I just don't know if Ghost Opera Troupe has generally mastered this method...
Looking carefully at the mask in his hand, Li Yan discovered that it was made of two pieces of skin glued together, with an interlayer in the middle, and densely packed with strange runes inside.
Neither he nor Wang Dao Xuan is recognized.
If we meet Senior Xuanmen again, we may be able to find out its origin.
The few remaining magic weapons were basically destroyed.
There are some weird compasses inside the zombies controlled by Clown. According to Wang Dao Xuan, they are from the Xiangxi method of exorcising corpses...
The Prayer Wheel that Lao Dan left behind comes from Tantra.
As for that Coffin Nail, it was the object that suppressed Drought Demon all year round. It was also infected by Evil Omen Qi and was full of vicious will power.
This thing is a good magic weapon for casting spells. Although it can only be used once, it is very powerful and has been given to Wang Dao Xuan for safekeeping.
Apart from that, there are just a few letters.
They were all found from Old Woman.
Li Yan looked at them one after another, and his expression became solemn.
Judging from the letter, Ghost Opera Troupe has been working hard to accumulate strength secretly since it was wiped out.
This time we came to Shuzhong, it was just a small team.
The main force has gone to Qian Province.
They are different from Zhao Changsheng and Dragon Worship Sect. They are more like mercenary organizations, seeking opportunities with the help of Human Path's reforms.
It's still a no-nonsense style.
And it keeps pace with the times and becomes more fierce.
Li Yan has a hunch that this Ghost Opera Troupe will become a problem for them sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Li Yan put away the things, took out the Fengdu Method book, and studied it carefully.
The path of spiritual practice is like climbing a mountain.
Each time you build a building, the difficulty will increase.
If you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, you can only do it from two aspects.
The first is Martial Arts. He practices every day and never falls behind. His control over Undying Imprint Method becomes more and more profound. He may have the opportunity to step into Pellet Strength in the next year.
The second is magic.
Fengdu Method practice completes the inheritance.
You can call upon Luo Feng Mountain Yin General to give you blessings and enhance <North Emperor Scripture> spells. However, there are many spells and you should not be distracted. You have to find a path that suits you...
Before I knew it, it was late at night.
Li Yan lay down to sleep, and Lu San took over the responsibility of keeping watch.
Sha LiFei and Wu Ba, the awakened ones are both Body Mystical Power. Although the five senses are sharp, they are within the range of ordinary people.
They may not be able to detect when others use magic to invade, so the vigil is mainly between them and Wang Dao Xuan.
Fortunately, it was a peaceful night.
The next few days were also very peaceful.
It seems that the last attempt was not successful, but instead attracted the enemies of Dumen and Twelve Yuan Chen, Xiao Jinghong, and did not continue to take action.
Affected by Cao Yuanhuai, Dumen's disciples were wary of them and always protected Xiao Jinghong, for fear that they would come to compete for his favor.
Li Yan and others are naturally happy to see this. They don't go out on weekdays, they practice alone and sometimes discuss with each other.
Just like that, another few days passed.
As the New Year approaches, the sky at Chengdu Prefecture finally clears up.
There are no clouds in the sky, the blue sky is shining brightly in the daytime, and the roofs of the pavilions and pavilions in the city are covered with snow, set off with colorful flags and lanterns, and the feeling of the new year is coming.
Bamboo Grove Abode In the room.
High-quality agarwood is burning in the bronze incense burner of Crane Stepping on the Cloud.
There is a stack of talisman paper on the table, as well as cinnabar pen and ink.
These talisman papers are extraordinary and come in seven colors: white, yellow, red, blue, purple, and black. Not only are they incredibly thick and very tough, but they also smell like a faint scent of incense.
It seems that the years are not short.
These talismans were all purchased at Qingcheng Mountain, and they lasted fifty years at Tianshi Cave Attendant, so they are expensive.
Li Yan stood in front of the table, holding his breath.
He first glued the talismans together and then cut them into paper figures.
Every time you cut it, it must be Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper. Make a hand and recite the incantation. "Xuxu Lingling, Taishang Yuqing, help the crisis and help the poor, cut paper into soldiers..."
Originally his paper figures were all white.
It is the so-called "white and yellow connect to yang, red paper connect to yin".
But now that his Daoism has improved, he can now use seven-color paper figures.
Before I knew it, the whole morning passed.
On the table, hundreds of paper figures have been cut out.
Li Yan looked carefully, with a smile on his face, and then Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper again, pinched the hand and recited the incantation. "Nogao! Taiwei Chuling, create armor, exorcise evil spirits and assist righteousness, yang and cloth body, Northern Yin Emperor Decree, frighten weapons!"
After reciting the incantation, a strong wind blew in the room.
Wow!
Colorful paper figures rose into the sky, like butterflies flying all over the sky, flying up and down around him. The scene was very magnificent.
Li Yan showed a smile on his face and turned his sword.
Wow!
The colorful paper figures are like a flock of birds returning to their nest, and they all fly into the skin around your waist.
Li Yan was very satisfied after seeing it.
The practice of many spells does not take only a short while, but also requires the collection of special magic weapons and practice in a specific environment.
Enhancing paper figures is the fastest way to improve your strength.
Today's paper man can withstand more power. With the blessing of Outer Altar Eight Generals, the power of his spells can also be enhanced.
Using Soul Hooking Lightning Rope to perform "Divine Transformation" is more powerful, but the consumption is staggering. Even his Daoist deeds will not last long.
If the oil runs out, you will be in danger.
Although there is Great Luo Dharma Body, it cannot be wasted.
As for the stronger Bing Ding Life-Creating Ghost Talisman and Summon Marshal Wen, they are the bottom-line method. Wang Dao Xuan needs to cooperate, and it takes half an hour to prepare for casting. It can only be used in remote combat.
Although it is troublesome, it is surprisingly powerful.
Li Yan has a hunch that it might be even stronger than Celestial Decree.
In addition, other preparations can be made.
For example, Five Directions Fengdu Banner, after he took it apart and made the arm guard "Qian Nian", he had to find another magic weapon to attach to it.
On Qingcheng Mountain, I haven't seen anything satisfactory yet.
Originally I wanted to wait until Opening Cellar Assembly, but with the current situation, I can only find some ways to deal with it first...
"I'm looking for Fellow Daoist Li."
"Please wait a moment, we can't enter at the moment."
"Are you kidding? It's Prince who invites you!"
While Li Yan was meditating, a noise suddenly came from outside.
Li Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
That voice is none other than Cao Yuanhuai.
There are many taboos when making paper figures.
With his current way of doing things, there is no need to wait for Zi Hour, but when making it, it cannot be watched by others, and it will be contaminated by the atmosphere of strangers.
Otherwise, the paper man will have the opportunity to turn into evil spirits and cause harm to all directions.
It's understandable that other people don't understand.
It is really rude for the other party, who is Xuan Gate People, to act like this.
Thinking of this, Li Yan strode out of the door.
But seeing Bamboo Grove Abode, Lu San and Wu Ba were confronting Cao Yuanhuai, both sides looked ugly.
Seeing Li Yan come out, everyone stopped arguing.
Cao Yuanhuai wanted to say something, but Li Yan ducked out of the way, seemed to shrink into an inch, and came directly in front of him.
So fast!
Cao Yuanhuai was shocked and quickly backed away.
Of course he knows what it is.
Li Yan only used his ankles to exert force without moving his body, and his extremely fast speed created this visual illusion.
He knows how to use this method.
However, this method can only deal with those whose skills are worse than your own. If your eyesight, Daoism and conduct are equal, you can easily see through it.
If there is an illusion, it means that Li Yan's skill is at least one step ahead of him.
Cao Yuanhuai exerted force on his feet and took two steps back.
He majored in Wenjin Fist, also known as Taiji Long Fist.
This First Gate boxing technique is an internal martial art, which emphasizes the inheritance of momentum, the combination of hard and soft movements, taking advantage of the momentum, the combination of slowness and urgency, crispness and speed.
The footwork comes from Bagua and is also considered exquisite.
But he took two steps back and found that Li Yan was always three feet in front of him, unhurried and staring at him with cold eyes.
It's like a wild beast is close at hand.
Under pressure, Cao Yuanhuai couldn't help but draw his sword with a loud cry.
Whoosh!
But just as he drew his sword, Li Yan suddenly retreated and stopped. However, he retreated seven or eight meters and almost slipped into the bamboo forest.
Li Yan glanced lightly, "We are all in the same camp, why are we drawing our swords?"
Cao Yuanhuai suddenly felt that his cheeks were hot. He knew that he had lost face, but he also knew what Li Yan was capable of. He gritted his teeth and sheathed his sword, saying in a cold voice, "Someone is looking for you, Prince invites you!"
After that, he turned around and left.
He knows what Li Yan means.
This is a warning.
Twelve Yuan Chen is not a false name.
If we break up, I'm afraid they will be the ones to be embarrassed.
Watching the other party's leaving figure, Li Yan frowned slightly.
Someone came looking for me, and Xiao Jinghong personally received me.
I wonder who it could be?
"I'll go take a look."
After speaking to Sha LiFei and the others, Li Yan also passed through the rear side yard and headed to the front hall.
Before he even got close, he could smell it.
After stepping into the front hall, I saw Fifth Prince Xiao Jinghong sitting opposite a Daoist priest drinking tea. It was Ming Shanzi on Qingcheng Mountain.
"Young Hero Li is here."
Ming Shanzi smiled and stood up quickly to greet him.
This time, Xiao Jinghong and Cao Yuanhuai were secretly shocked.
To Li Yan, Ming Shanzi is just a mountain guard under Qingcheng Mountain, but they know that Ming Shanzi works for the Cheng family and has an extraordinary status.
Why are you so polite to Li Yan...
What they didn't know was that the movements of Li Yan and his group at Qingcheng Mountain had already been noticed by many people.
The headmaster personally took the time to receive him, and Fire Tuo, who was usually indifferent to others, helped him refine the weapons, and more importantly, Jue Chenzi taught him the Dharma.
That was Qingcheng Su Lao, with an extraordinary status.
Li Yan Twelve Yuan Chen has indeed gained such a great reputation, but in the eyes of all parties, it is nothing.
After all, there are ups and downs in the world, and a few emerge every year.
But at the same time, he can be favored by the leader of Wudang Qingcheng.
The meaning behind it is by no means that simple.
They don't know the identity of Li Yan Tianguan, but they no longer dare to underestimate him.
"I've met senior."
If the other party is polite, Li Yan will naturally be respectful.
After the two parties sat down, Ming Shanzi immediately shook his head and said, "Fifth Prince sent someone to deliver the message. Only the poor man knew that such a big thing happened to Chengdu Prefecture, so he left the Qingcheng Mountain affairs to others and came here overnight."
"Dark Hall had an accident and Young Hero Li was wronged."
"Senior, please be polite. This is what you should do."
Li Yan replied casually.
Ming Shanzi didn't say much about it. Instead, he picked up a small wooden box from the table next to him and said, "This is what Young Hero Li wants."
Although it is not stated clearly, Li Yan knows that what is inside is the source of Wang Dao Xuan's inheritance <Five Chapters Divine Secret>.
Li Yan was not in a hurry, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "The agreement is that we will give you something afterward. Does senior have anything else to do?"
"But I can't hide it from Young Hero Li."
Ming Shanzi's face turned serious, "Originally, my Cheng family was unwilling to participate in this matter, but the secret hall of the Cheng family was destroyed, the poor Daoist brother was killed, and the Cheng family entered the county prince's palace, and no one made any irresponsible remarks."
I'm afraid it's more than that...
The Confucian sect has intervened, so the Cheng family naturally cannot sit idly by.
Li Yan cursed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged as he asked, "I don't know, senior, what do you want us to do?"
"Easy."
Ming Shanzi said in a deep voice, "With Pindao's uncle, it's no small matter to kill him easily. Chengdu Prefecture I'm afraid Over the River Dragon."
"Pindao would like to ask Young Hero Li to investigate this matter!"
