"I've heard some."
Li Yan heard this and nodded slightly.
When you join a circle, you will more or less hear some strange things about that circle.
"West Queen Mother Edict Scheme" is one of them.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the people of the Guandong Twenty-Six Commanderies country suddenly gathered in large numbers to Chang'an, claiming that they were holding the "Talisman Chips" given by Queen Mother of the West, believing that the wearer could "avoid disasters and survive".
Participants were all barefooted, running wildly on horseback, and even climbed to the roof at night to beat drums and shouts. According to historical records, "The drums and trumpets sounded frightening."...
This incident is very famous and happened more than once. It is recorded in both <Zizhi Tongjian> and <Hanshu>.
There are also different opinions on this matter.
Confucianism is said to be a disaster, and the emperor has lost his virtue. The emperor has repeatedly poisoned Edict of Self-Reproach, but the people's resentment has boiled over and it is difficult to return...
The official of the imperial court said that Early Daoist Sects might have been involved at that time. After all, the distribution of talismans and unified actions spanned twenty or thirty counties. If no one secretly organized it, it would not have been possible...
But in Daoism, there is another way of saying it.
At that time, alchemists were very popular, and the legend of Elixir of Immortality was widely circulated. As a holder, the Queen Mother of the West belief was also popular in the north and south.
This incident is the layout of a sect of alchemists who believe in Queen Mother of the West, trying to expand their faith and seize power.
But precisely because of this incident, they were liquidated and exterminated.
All in all, it was very mysterious.
Thinking of this, Li Yan was shocked and asked quickly, "Could this thing be related to Queen Mother of the West?"
He has not forgotten that the wizard Wu Xian Kingdom in ancient times was rumored to be a subordinate of Queen Mother of the West, and King of Shu also conspired to find Elixir of Immortality, maybe it was Lu Sheng who was the scheming one.
"It has nothing to do with Queen Mother of the West."
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "The so-called 'Divine Enchantment' is a large-scale Enchantment Curse. With the power of Incense Power as its source, it has driven countless ordinary people into madness."
"This is a forbidden technique. In ancient times, whenever there was chaos in the world, some people would spread heresy and use the forbidden technique to confuse people's hearts, cause turmoil, and obtain benefits."
"Later it was banned by Xuanmen, and all related spells were destroyed. Even Mount Wudang Scripture Pavilion was only briefly introduced..."
Sha LiFei next to him couldn't help it and said, "Master Tao, what's the use of talking about this now? Just tell us how to crack it. I'm a coward. It's really scary."
Don't blame him for complaining.
Today's Chengdu Prefecture is really weird and scary.
The sky is full of wind and snow accompanied by thick fog. Against the strange red light, the streets and buildings are blurred and dark, and there are crowds of people, such as Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.
What's even more frightening is that there are occasional thunders in the sky, and there seems to be a crazy depression in the air.
It is not an exaggeration to say that we have arrived in the netherworld.
"The classics don't mention it in detail."
Wang Dao Xuan stopped talking nonsense and said in a deep voice, "But since it is called Divine Enchantment, the source of this spell should be the secular god. As long as Destroy Temples and Slay Gods is needed, the spell can be lifted."
Lu San said in a dull voice, "These days, all the monsters under King of Shu's command are hiding in the palace, and the altar should be inside."
"I have found the tunnel, why don't we do it now?"
"No rush."
Li Yan looked solemnly and looked into the air and around him, "San Er, do you think this thing looks familiar..."
Lu San was stunned at first, and finally realized, "They are the same thing?"
He was quite smart and didn't say anything explicitly. After all, there was Six Idlers of the Bamboo Grove beside him, as well as Granny Jin who was betrayed by Faceless Young Master.
No matter Lord of the Clouds Divine Gate or Goddess Palace, they are both Secret Realm that is enough to make people crazy and cannot be leaked at will.
Li Yan nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's probably Dragon Palace Water Mansion. I'm afraid Dujiangyan failed."
"King of Shu This was the idea from the very beginning."
Wang Dao Xuan heard what he meant and frowned. "You mean, the real source is Jiang God Great Lord?"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "It is very possible. This matter must be confirmed first. If it is true as guessed, Qingyang Palace is the main target!"
After that, he led everyone away.
At this time, the street was already in chaos.
The lights were brightly lit, giving off a blurry glow in the thick fog and snow. Excited people were wandering around, and conflicts broke out from time to time.
Most of the "God of Joy Coin" on their bodies have become rusty, and the spells hidden in them have already invaded their bodies.
Not only that, the entire Chengdu Prefecture has become an illusion.
Thick fog and red light interfere with perception, and those people who have not yet been infected will become dizzy and lost as soon as they leave their homes in panic, running around in the streets and alleys.
If you are unlucky, you will be caught by the crazy people, tied up, wandering around cheering, and finally thrown into the fire.
Faced with this chaos, Li Yan and the others couldn't care less.
Everyone cast Mountain Climbing Art at the same time to avoid interference from the illusion, and ran quickly on the snow-covered roofs towards the east of the city.
Everything you see along the way is shocking.
Arriving at a remote street in the east of the city, Sha LiFei immediately pointed to a small courtyard and said in a deep voice, "It's in this courtyard!"
Of course he knows what Li Yan is going to do.
This time I came to Shuzhong because I got an errand from Dragon Girl. I first helped him find the cause of Jiang God Great Lord's abnormal movements, and then agreed to help him gather incense and completely seize the power of Jiang God Great Lord.
The benefits are of course needless to say.
Dragon Girl will be rewarded with Jiang God Great Lord divine power.
This thing is the key to obtaining Daluo Divine Ability. No matter Li Yan or other companions, they will be indispensable in the future.
More importantly, as long as Dragon Girl succeeds, Jiang God Great Lord, the source of disaster, will completely dissipate between heaven and earth.
The relevant preparations were handed over by Li Yan to Hou Xuan.
The first is to build a temple, and the second is to find Hundred Flowers Ceremony's manpower.
And this courtyard is exactly where Hou Xuan is hiding.
Everyone stepped on the roof and jumped into the snow-covered courtyard.
Phew!
A crossbow arrow suddenly shot through the dark window.
Li Yan was well prepared and stood in front of everyone. He drew a circle with his left hand and used Silk Winding Force's force-relieving method to directly grab the crossbow arrows in his hand. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Brother Hou, it's us!"
The sound of arrows being fired inside suddenly stopped.
Hou Xuan, who had not seen each other for a long time, pushed the door open and walked out with excitement on his face. "You guys are finally here. What happened?"
He is just an ordinary person. Because of the reminder from Li Yan, he did not come into contact with "God of Joy Coin", so he escaped.
But he didn't have Divine Ability, so he couldn't see clearly the figures outside the hospital. When he noticed the movement, he immediately used crossbows to defend himself.
"How are the manpower preparations going?"
Li Yan briefly talked about the news in the city and then asked.
"It's not easy to do, it's troublesome."
Hou Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "There are many daughters in the families of the people nearby. I have given enough money to find enough virgins, and I also specially asked people to make flower baskets."
"But with such a big incident happening in the city, I don't know if they are still conscious."
Hundred Flowers Ceremony You Shen must be a virgin.
Li Yan was busy with things, so he gave Hou Xuan ten thousand taels of silver to help find him.
"Look for as many people as you can find!"
Li Yan looked at the sky and gritted his teeth.
Hou Xuan's subordinates and many brothers listened to Li Yan's words and were not confused by "God of Joy Coin" Divine Soul.
They didn't dare to go out at first, but with Six Idlers of the Bamboo Grove's help, they no longer had to worry when they went out to look for someone.
Soon, Hou Xuan practiced and led people out of the yard.
As for Li Yan, he told Wu Ba and Lu San to protect the law, and then went into a room of Wing Room alone, lay on the bed, took out Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet from his arms, calmed down, and let himself fall asleep.
Dragon Girl is an invisible thing, and its body is still in Dragon Pool Village outside Shennongjia. Every time we communicate, we enter the dream through Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet.
Perhaps because of the need to retain strength to deal with Hundred Flowers Ceremony, there has been no dream since the last deal was reached.
The situation is urgent, Li Yan has no choice but to take the initiative to contact us.
Holding Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet in his arms, he quickly fell asleep.
The layout of the room was still the same, but there was no one around, and everything seemed hazy and familiar.
Not long after, he was surrounded by a pair of jade arms from behind, and then he was suddenly pulled, as if he was sinking into the ocean.
In front of his eyes, scenes of light and shadow suddenly appeared:
In the mountains along the Minjiang River, the ancestors of ancient tribes wearing Animal Hide used the method of burning fire and watering water to cut mountains, cut rocks, and open mountain roads.
La la la!
The rocks suddenly shattered, revealing a strange giant rock that seemed to grow from the earth's veins, winding and circling into the shape of a dragon. The surface of the rock was also covered with dragon scale-like patterns.
The ancestors of the tribe were so happy that they used hundreds of people to carry the dragon-shaped boulder back to the tribe and worship it day and night.
And on a night of heavy rain, a huge black python suddenly appeared in the river, wrapped its body around a dragon-shaped boulder, threw it into the river, and disappeared...
Seeing these scenes, Li Yan immediately made some guesses.
This thing should be Grotto-heaven Stone, a treasure formed by the gathering of Heavenly Gang evil spirits. He also got a small one. After absorbing Spiritual Charm, he helped him transform Luo Feng Mountain and repair it into Fengdu Method in advance.
And that giant black python is Jiang Shen's true form, which took away Grotto-heaven Stone and created Dragon Palace Water Mansion.
The light and shadow changed again, confirming his guess.
After Jiang God Great Lord wrapped up Grotto-heaven Stone, thick fog often filled the two banks along the river. As this big monster became the water god of Shu, Dragon Palace Water Mansion finally took shape...
At this moment, a palace palace appeared with flickering light and shadow.
It is Qingyang Palace outside Chengdu.
An altar has been set up over there, with strange lights flashing and drums and music playing. The statue of Dragon Girl is located under the altar, tied with a red rope and covered with talismans.
And with this voice, the Dragon Girl arms on the chest became lighter and lighter.
The mission of the Qingyang Palace is indeed Dragon Girl!
Li Yan Without any hesitation, he suddenly opened his eyes.
At the same time, there was a noise outside the hospital.
"Mr. Hou, what happened?"
"You must know something."
"Please save my family..."
The sound of women crying and pleading continued.
Li Yan pushed open the door and saw a dozen girls standing in the yard, all of them disheveled and even with injuries on their bodies.
"Good luck."
Hou Xuan walked over with excitement on his face, "I was afraid of missing the important event on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so I specifically asked them not to touch God of Joy Coin."
"A dozen of them were obedient and didn't get tricked. I wonder if that's enough?"
"Brother Hou, good job, that's enough!"
Li Yan's face is also full of smiles.
Hou Xuan's work is really reassuring.
A simple reminder changed things for the better.
All the women in the hospital were rescued.
They were not fools. When they saw Hou Xuan being so respectful to Li Yan, they knew that he was the one in charge and immediately came forward to beg.
"There's no point in rescuing him!"
Li Yan reprimanded in a deep voice. "Your family members and the entire Chengdu Prefecture people have been tricked. Only by solving the source can they wake up."
"We are going to the Qingyang Palace, are you afraid?"
"As long as I can save my family, I'm not afraid of anything!"
"Please give the order to Immortal Elder!"
When something happened to their family members, these women gained courage.
"Okay!"
Li Yan took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "It will get dark soon. Without further ado, let's set off immediately!"
Hou Xuan has informed these women in advance, and they have also participated in Baihua Wandering Gods Society in previous years, so they know the process.
After taking the clothes prepared by Hou Xuan, the women went into the house to change into them, and then walked out carrying special flower baskets.
These clothes are also carefully made, using Shu Brocade and white gauze, and various colored flowers are also made of cloth.
If the women hadn't become disgraced, they would really be like Hundred Flowers Fairy descending to earth.
The ceremony Li Yan will hold is Flower Festival "Flower God Parade" to commemorate the birthday of Hundred Flowers Fairy.
Hundred Flowers Fairy means the recovery of all things.
Through this ritual, Dragon Girl can be awakened.
Wang Dao Xuan has studied and mastered the process of the ceremony.
He set up an altar, sprinkled incense and dipped peach branches in cinnabar water, and drew "Hundred Flowers Talisman" on the snow in the yard.
On the main altar, there is a statue of Attendant, wearing a hibiscus crown and a flower robe, it is Hundred Flowers Fairy.
The offerings on the table, Hou Xuan, also took a lot of effort to get Twelve Colors Flowers, corresponding to Twelve Month Flower Gods, and "Hundred Flowers Cake" kneaded from rice.
When the altar was ready, Wang Dao Xuan, who had already put on his robes, immediately stepped onto the altar, recited the Taiyi Sutra of Saving Suffering and Protecting the Body, and burned "Hundred Flowers Petition" to reach the heaven.
Every move is in line with the ancient rituals.
Boom!
The door of the old house was suddenly pushed open.
These women all held hollyhocks, Camellia and other flower branches, and walked in accordance with the rhythm of <Song of Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress>.
This is called "Hundred Flowers Formation", which symbolizes the twelve flowers Divine Descent.
Li Yan was walking at the front, carrying Bronze Flower Basket found in the ruins of Dragon Daughter Temple.
This is also a powerful magic weapon.
As long as Flower God Parade goes smoothly, the incense gathered by ordinary people will flow into the flower basket, which is also the key to Dragon Girl's awakening.
Not far after leaving the house, I saw a large group of crazy people.
They were carrying sticks and hemp ropes and seemed to be trying to catch everyone.
Among them, there are even many Jianghu people.
These charlatans are not very advanced in kung fu. They all received Shu King Residence's reward and are looking for Li Yan everywhere.
Seeing him appear, I suddenly became even crazier.
Li Yan didn't bother to pay attention. He pinched Mystical Gestures directly and said loudly, "Nogao, with three stars on the left and three prisons on the right, the world is turned upside down, and all nine roads are blocked, making you lose your mind. The east is the west, the south is the north..."
This is Northern Emperor Body Protection Incantation. It can not only protect yourself, but also cast Bewitching Soul Spell on the enemy, making it difficult for them to distinguish between east and west and north and south.
As soon as the spell came out, a strong wind blew up in an instant.
The people who rushed towards him were immediately disoriented, spinning in place, or bumping against the walls.
As for Li Yan and others, they are naturally good at mountaineering.
They also wrapped their fingers with yarrow, stepped on the steps, recited incantations, broke through the confusion, and headed south of the city.
Of course, surprises also occur.
More and more crazy people are gathering.
They are outside and unable to harm anyone.
But Flower God Parade also attracted them, and they gathered outside the team, their eyes bloodshot, and they were jubilant.
In this way, the parade, singing and dancing, soon arrived in the south of the city.
To their surprise, the city gate was already wide open at this moment, and there were many corpses piled on the ground, all of which were the work of the Salt Gang.
Everyone ignored the nonsense and walked straight through the gate.
What they didn't know was that Yang Chenghua had just brought people from the Qingcheng Sect into Chengdu Prefecture, and this was where they had broken through.
This place is not far from the Qingyang Palace, and there is no danger along the way. It took less than two sticks of incense to reach the destination.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in previous years, "Flower Market", "Medicine Stall" and "Brocade Tent" will be set up outside the Qingyang Palace, selling Shu Embroidery Hundred Flowers Sachet, Ligusticum wallichii Jasmine Flower Tea and other items.
But now, it is completely silent.
