"Tang~yuan~warm~"

The hoarse lyrics pierced the snow curtain and echoed in the dark and windy streets.

The voice was full of vicissitudes of life, like the grandmother next door, even a little kind, but in such an environment, it became more and more gloomy and terrifying.

"It's her, I remembered, it's her!"

Xu Yongqing suddenly froze, his eyes full of fear.

"You know him?"

Li Yan looked into the distance with a solemn expression.

At this time, the other party no longer hides Qi Dynamic.

Li Yan can feel a dark and obscure force entrenched deep in the streets, thick and full of malice.

It even made him feel some pressure.

Li Yan has understood the identity of the other party.

God Ascender!

Many people have reminded him of "God Ascender" before.

Li Yan has never understood the difference between "God Ascender" and a normal monk. If calculated according to Daoism, he has Fourth Floor, breaking through the limits of mortal monks, and can also be regarded as God Ascender.

There are also quite a few orthodox masters in the fourth and fifth floors, but they are not called "God Ascender".

It was not until he entered Shu and came into contact with many seniors that he gradually understood the boundaries.

"God Ascender" was originally used to refer to monks who are dedicated to seeking the Tao and have the opportunity to ascend to the gods. It is regarded as an honorific title.

But now, it has taken on some derogatory connotations.

Seeking Immortal Elder to be born has been a dream of many people since ancient times, but there are very few people who have the chance to succeed. Like the Qing across the river, only one or two become gods.

There are many people who are willing to use any means for this purpose, and even become evil spirits and lose their humanity.

This kind of person is now called "God Ascender".

Of course, not all "God Ascender" are monsters, but you are not sure when he will embark on the evil path for that slim chance.

That's why many people remind you to be careful with "God Ascender".

The other party can give him a sense of oppression, his moral character is at least Fourth Floor, and his Qi breath is evil and weird, and has completely lost his human touch.

"She is Nie Third Aunt!"

Hearing Li Yan's inquiry, Xu Yongqing said in a trembling voice, "He was originally an outcast from Qingcheng. He practiced evil and was kicked out of the mountain. Then he joined Maitreya Sect. He went rampant in Shu many years ago and showed up to harm others at the end of his life."

"She almost took control of the Salt Gang at that time, but was later hunted down by Sword Immortal Cheng and disappeared. The reward notice is still in Chengdu Prefecture Yamen."

"It's been more than twenty years, how... how are you still alive?"

"Granny Tang Yuan?"

After hearing what Xu Yongqing said, Li Yan also came to his senses.

When they entered Shu, they did not just wander in randomly. Before coming, they collected a lot of information about the Mysterious Sect in Shu, including along the way.

He knows more about this "Granny Tang Yuan".

This Old Hag is an evil master more than 20 years ago. He came from Qingcheng Xuandu Temple. Later, he integrated various evil methods and even learned Mo Sect Mechanism Arts. He is very difficult to deal with.

He only found out about this person when he was collecting information on Sword Immortal Cheng.

Thinking of this, Li Yan shook his head slightly, "It seems that King of Shu is completely crazy, even taking in such a monster."

After saying that, luck suddenly came into play and my chest bulged.

"Get out!"

He used Great Cloud Thunder Sound.

"Get out!"

"Come out!"

The sound was loud and loud, like wind and thunder, constantly echoing in the streets, and even echoed in waves.

The huge street was still howling with wind and snow.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

He is doing a test.

Great Cloud Thunder Sound has the power to destroy evil. Although he is still far from being able to destroy evil with just one word, given his current behavior, his voice can be loud enough.

The people on the street were not awakened, which means they have fallen into the Mystic Gate Array law.

But that's the problem.

Chengdu Prefecture is not some wilderness, City God Temple is of a very high level, not weaker than Divine Land in any big city.

Chengdu City God is Ji Xin, and there are two subordinates, Wenjian Fei Yi and Wujian Zhou Dequan, both of whom have received hundreds of years of incense Attendant and She Ling Soldiers to suppress evil spirits from all directions.

And a few days later, on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, it will be City God Street Patrol Day.

Xuanmen monks are very cautious when using magic.

The other party is so arrogant...

City God Temple I'm afraid there are people who are playing tricks and cooperating!

Of course, Li Yan's roar is not without effect.

But a hundred meters away, the wind and snow were rolling in with thick fog, as if they were pushed away by a pair of invisible hands, and a little scarlet light oozed out.

"Black~Sesame~The core is sweet!"

A hoarse hawking voice sounded, as if a handful of broken porcelain had been stuffed into the throat.

There's something sharp about it that makes one's hair stand on end.

Crunch~

The red light is getting closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of wooden wheels pressing against the snow.

But they saw the mist billowing, and a Old Woman pushed a wooden cart, limping slowly closer in the wind and snow.

The wooden cart was made of cypress wood, and its surface was dark and greasy. It was no different from those snack carts that had been used for decades, but it smelled of blood, as if the blackness was stained with contaminated blood.

The bloody light was dim and swaying, but it was a red lantern hanging under the flagpole on the car, with strange talismans painted on its surface.

The wheels of the carriage pressed through the snow, and the road was stained with blood.

Xu Yongqing saw it, his eyes widened and his face turned pale.

"Close your eyes and don't look!"

Li Yan slapped him awake and reminded him in a deep voice.

The information collected at that time was indeed correct.

Nie Third Aunt is good at Mechanism Arts. The wooden wheel cart has been specially modified, and the pungent smell of blood cannot hide the sound of the machine inside.

And the red lantern is also some kind of illusion.

In the dark, very eye-catching.

But if you keep staring, you will fall into a nightmare.

He Dao Progress Fourth Floor also has various powerful magic weapons to protect his body, so he is naturally not afraid of her, but to ordinary people, even ordinary monks, this old woman is no different from a demon.

Just the mere appearance can scare people to death.

Fifty meters away, Old Woman stopped. Seemingly seeing that Li Yan was unmoved, he said in a deep voice, "What a sin! Why are you protecting him? It's such a cold day and you want an old woman to come out to make a living."

Li Yan sneered, raised his chin and said mockingly, "I know I am an immortal, so I can just go to the grave as soon as possible, why bother to come out and embarrass myself!"

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth..."

Old Woman slowly raised his head. Under the cloak was a terrifying face, covered with fire scars and a mouth full of yellow and black rotten teeth, like the reincarnation of an evil ghost.

Li Yan ignored him and suddenly turned his eyes upward.

A large formation of strange gates has been set up in this place, and the reason why he was stalling for time was to find the formation's eye.

Finally, he discovered something strange.

I originally thought it was hidden on the street, but I didn't expect it to be the flag above the red lantern. Because the lantern is equipped with a enchantment spell, the monks will subconsciously avoid it, which will cause a dark effect under the light.

I happen to know that flag flag, Li Yan.

During the time of Shennongjia, the possessed mountain god "Bai Gong" once held a Soul-Calling Banner in his hand, which caused them a lot of trouble.

After beheading it, the Dharma flag was broken into pieces. After Wang Dao Xuan studied it carefully, he found out that the thing was called "Soul-Seizing Banner", dyed with Cinnabar Mole mixed with Black Dog Blood, and originated from Chen Prefecture in western Hunan.

This magical weapon can capture Yin Soul Fierce Ghost, attack people, or set up formations. There are many methods, but Chen Prefecture in Xiangxi is the strongest.

Old Hag must have driven Fierce Ghost to set up the formation.

Just break the flags.

Thinking of this, Li Yan suddenly pulled out Flintlock Firearm from his waist.

The distance between the two sides is currently fifty meters. His Flintlock Firearm has been specially modified so that it is still accurate at this distance.

However, Old Hag Nie Third Aunt acts faster.

She tapped the board with a few withered fingers, and the front of the wooden cart suddenly split into seven petals, revealing the honeycomb-shaped inner liner.

"After eating the glutinous rice balls, the gods will give way - here you go!"

The hoarse voice made a sharp and dramatic tone.

Whoosh!

The whistling sound suddenly hit us.

Instead, countless poisonous thorns shot out from the holes.

Without saying a word, Li Yan pulled Xu Yongqing forward, jumped forward, and then suddenly rolled to the ground, passing through dangerous dangers.

He is alone and naturally has no fear.

But Xu Yongqing is likely to be the key to overthrowing King of Shu. Even this Old Hag is dispatched, so naturally he cannot be allowed to die.

"Hmm~"

Xu Yongqing is just a weak scholar, how can he bear this kind of torture? His joints collided with the cold ground, and he groaned in pain.

But he didn't dare to talk nonsense at all. On the contrary, he was afraid for a while.

There was only a loud banging sound from behind, gravel splashing everywhere, and all those poisonous caltrops were nailed into the brick wall behind them.

The strength of the mechanism is evident.

However, the attack is not over yet.

On the opposite side, Old Hag saw Li Yan dodging. It didn't seem strange at all. Before the two of them landed, they turned the wooden handle of the car.

Click!

The sound of the machine sounded, and the second mechanism was triggered.

The sturdy wooden cart frame cracked, revealing a copper-clad crossbow machine inside.

What was in front of the crossbow arrow was not a spiked barbed arrow, but a piece of iron ball, with no idea what it contained.

The sound of whizzing through the air sounded again.

Li Yan was about to dodge, but as soon as he sniffed it, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly grabbed the Xu Yongqing next to him, his muscles bulging, and he threw it out.

"Ah~"

Xu Yongqing screamed and was thrown into the darkness on a nearby roof.

Li Yan, on the other hand, stepped on Wading Through Mud Steps, its body turned upside down like a ghost, and its leather boots drew arcs on the snow.

Not only did he dodge all the crossbow arrows, but he also shortened the distance.

Bang bang bang!

The crossbow arrow collided with the ground behind him, and the iron ball in front exploded.

In an instant, blue flames splashed everywhere.

It was full of viscous liquid. I don't know what formula was used. Even when it fell on the snow, it still burned and made a hissing sound.

Another fatal mechanism.

Moreover, Li Yan also discovered something was wrong.

This Old Hag doesn't know anything about him.

The opponent deliberately closes the distance because he is afraid that he will summon the Yin soldiers, but does not get closer. He obviously knows that he is good at close combat.

And in the middle distance, he is famous for his musket.

Continuously opening the mechanism has formed an advantage and suppressed it.

Sure enough, seeing him approaching quickly, Old Hag Nie Third Aunt let out a weird laugh and pulled the wooden cart backwards, not slowing down at all.

His upper body was motionless, like a ghost.

Ghost Step?

Li Yan was a little surprised after seeing it.

This is the troupe's footwork. When the actors perform ghost performances, their bodies remain motionless and they only use their ankles to exert force quickly, as if they are flowing gracefully.

He has seen it before, this Old Hag is really difficult to learn!

Not only that, Nie Third Aunt also sang loudly. "The sky is cold, the ground is cold, but it's not as cold as an old woman's hot soup bowl~"

This is a Shu nursery rhyme "The lazy man froze to death".

When Old Hag sings, it is naturally not just random talk.

But I saw the soup pot on the wooden cart suddenly tilted forward, and a large amount of fire oil mixed with poisonous caltrops shaped like Lantern Festival poured down instantly.

Then, Old Hag flicked his sleeves.

Phew~

In an instant, the fire started to rise.

In the raging fire, the poisonous tribulus exploded like exploding beans, and all kinds of poisonous stingers flew around.

Wind, snow, fire, Poison Needle, completely closed the entire street.

"Where to run!"

Li Yan shouted angrily and jumped up.

He regretted a little at the moment, because it was too eye-catching, so when he was in Wuchang, he didn't wear the full-body Earth Dragon Armor made by others, otherwise he wouldn't be afraid of this small scene at all.

But it's not like he doesn't have ways to deal with it.

Li Yan jumped up, just dodging the rising flames, and at the same time tore off his cloak, Hidden Strength exploded, spinning and shaking.

This is Shaolin Demon Subduing Kasaya Skill.

He has stepped into Transformed Strength, and has meticulous control of strength. Although it is not as good as the original version, it is enough to cope with this situation.

Puff puff puff!

The incoming Poison Needle was all blocked by the cloak.

At the same time, Li Yan also jumped on the eaves of a nearby store, running quickly while resisting Poison Needle.

Two leaps passed through the burning streets.

Then, the trigger was suddenly pulled.

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and smoke exploded mixed with flying snow.

The lead shot accurately hit the wooden flag flag.

There was only a muffled sound and the flags exploded. Because Yin Energy vibrated, they were like bursting balloons and turned into countless rags.

The formation deployed by the opponent was subsequently broken.

Almost instantly, the surrounding sounds returned to normal.

Li Yan I can hear the snoring of people in private houses and the crying of babies in the middle of the night.

At the same time, the news of fighting also spread.

"The water has escaped! The water has escaped!"

Someone was awakened by the light of the fire, opened the window and shouted.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, his whole body became stiff.

But it was Soul-Seizing Banner that broke, and the suppressed Yin Soul Fierce Ghost ran around. When they saw a stranger, they immediately pounced on them and possessed them.

As for Li Yan, he no longer cares about paying attention.

He jumped up and jumped from the roof.

The wooden cart mechanism of Old Hag has been completely used up, torn into pieces, and thrown on the ground haphazardly.

The formation was broken, which inevitably alarmed many people.

Nie Third Aunt wanted to evacuate, but when Li Yan refused to give up, he immediately became angry and laughed.

"Seeking death!"

With a sharp shout, she suddenly pulled out a whisk.

The Buddha dust is pitch black, made of women's hair, and exudes creepy resentment.

Whoosh!

With a flick of the whisk, Yin Wind suddenly appeared everywhere.

Li Yan is wrong. One Leap of the Falcon in the air can barely escape a few Poison Needle.

As the information said, this Old Hag was born in Qingcheng, uses Qingcheng Xuan Gate Eight Strikes, and is good at using Iron Whisk Thirty-Six Forms.

However, the upright Xuanmen martial arts were used with Ghost Qi in a sinister and sinister way.

Dodge Poison Needle, Li Yan turns over and lands.

Although he didn't stop the other party, he also shortened the distance.

Right now the distance between the two Fang Xiang is only ten meters.

Wow!

Two Soul Hooking Lightning Rope roared out instantly.

"Dharma Realm Mystical Power?"

Nie Third Aunt sneered and waved the fly whisk left and right.

The energy of Yin evil vibrated, and Soul Hooking Lightning Rope, which was originally invisible, was directly blown away by it.

Li Yan was not surprised when he saw this.

Facing such masters, using Soul Hooking Lightning Rope alone is of little use. There are usually ways to restrain it.

His purpose is just to drag the other party out.

Li Yan exerted force under his feet again, and at the same time, he pulled out Severing Dust Blade with a clang. He quickly made a seal with his left hand and touched the blade.

Sizzle!

In an instant, the blade arc jumped.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yan was already close, and he drew his knife.

Nie Third Aunt Helpless, he also shook his right hand, and the black whisk whistled, meeting the blade.

Her whisk is the best at restraining the hilt of a knife. As long as it is twisted, ordinary magic weapons can be twisted.

However, Old Hag did not know that Li Yan had promoted Severing Dust Blade in Qingcheng Mountain.

Poof!

The black mist dispersed, and a woman's scream could be heard faintly in the air.

The whisk made of hair was also cut off directly...
