"Hurry up!"

"Isn't this Huwa from the next village!"

"If you win Bewitching Drug, go and suffer Licorice Water!"

When Li Yan drove the donkey cart back to the village, a large number of villagers immediately surrounded them. Those who were familiar with the world immediately saw that these children had been cheated by Bewitching Drug.

Misty Sweat Drug is not unusual in the world. Gods and Immortals Drunk, Ya Bu Lu, and Mantuo Luo can all be refined. Pick the flowers in August, add hemp seeds in July, dry them in the shade and divide them into foam.

The rescue method is simpler, that is Raw Licorice make soup.

As soon as the bowl was down, the three children woke up one after another and saw a bunch of adults surrounding them. They all looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

The father of the missing child cried with joy while holding his son.

There were people comforting and yelling around, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Manager Wan looked gloomy, and after letting people comfort the villagers, he turned around and went to the stable with a few disciples.

The captured female traffickers were imprisoned there.

As for the corpse of the salesman, it had long been thrown into the woods by Li Yan.

Li Yan The three of them looked at each other and followed closely behind.

In the stable, the woman had been tied up.

People in the martial arts world often have one or two tricks to get out of trouble, such as breaking off joints and collarbones, hiding razor blades under the hair under the tongue, and inserting needles into the skin.

Therefore, even after searching for a long time, Craftsmen Sect Disciple people were still worried. The rope was tied very tightly, knotted, and deeply penetrated into the flesh.

This woman was about thirty years old, with a sallow complexion and triangular eyes that showed ferocity. Half of her face was slapped by Li Yan, and it was already bruised and swollen like a steamed bun.

As if knowing that her life was at risk, she said nothing. When she saw everyone coming in, her eyes remained cold and sinister.

Manager Wan was not in a hurry to ask, but sat on the chair brought by the disciple, silently took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said, "It's not your profession to eat Ge Nian, hold a child (kidnapping a child), and pick up a god of wealth (kidnapping for ransom). Whose order did you follow?"

Seeing that the woman didn't say anything, he snorted coldly, "It's useless to talk harshly. I'm familiar with you on the Xianyang City road, but I haven't seen you. Are you here to fight Chang'an?"

"Is the connector Third Aunt Cai or Butcher Two..."

"Oh, it's Tu Er, this kid really has no rules."

As he spoke, he observed the woman's eyes.

Without him having to say anything, he could guess pretty much everything.

Li Yan and Sha LiFei couldn't help but give a thumbs up when they saw it.

Seeing that her feet were exposed, the woman felt a little panicked. She simply closed her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't ask, I don't know the employer. Even if you go to Butcher Two, he won't dare to tell you. If you break the rules, more people will die."

"Hmm."

Manager Wan nodded and said in a deep voice, "I don't intend to break your rules, I just want to let you know what you are involved in."

As he said that, he turned to look at the disciple next to him, "Have you asked?"

"Asked!"

The disciple bowed respectfully and handed a piece of paper with both hands.

Manager Wan frowned after taking it, shook his head slightly, and handed it to Wang Dao Xuan next to him. He said in a loud voice, "Wang Daoyou, I am not good at my skills. I still need you to take a look. Is there anything wrong?"

Wang Dao Xuan obviously realized something, with a solemn look on his face, he took the note, looked at it a few times, and said solemnly, "Ding in the first month, Hai in the fifth month, and Yin in the eighth month, all are Heavenly Virtue Noble. Someone wants to use his life to break through!"

Manager Wan sighed, "I realized something was wrong just now. If only my Shangyi Village child was kidnapped, I would definitely think it was seeking revenge, but he spared several villages and asked for their names. This is a bit strange."

"It seems that some people are not willing to give in. They only look for Heavenly Virtue Noble. Most of them are just average..."

Seeing that Li Yan and Sha LiFei were confused, Wang Dao Xuan said in a deep voice, "This is the evil Life Borrowing Breakthrough Method. He took the life of Girl, a boy with an extraordinary destiny, and Excessive Sacrifice sacrificed it in order to break through and improve his Daoism."

"Great Xuan Dynasty has an order, anyone who practices this method will be killed without mercy!"

Li Yan thought thoughtfully, "What should I do if this happens?"

"Of course, report Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect Enforcement Hall."

Manager Wan stood up slowly, "Come here, take this man with you to Xianyang City God's Temple."

As he said that, he looked at the woman coldly and said, "You don't need to say anything. When we get to City God Temple, there are many ways for you to say it. Even Tu Er of Chang'an can't escape either!"

"I said! I said!"

The woman finally panicked and screamed, "Tu Er asked me to send him to Menggu Village and tie him up in the ruined ancestral temple. Someone will pick him up. This is all Tu Er's fault and has nothing to do with me..."

It looked like she was obviously frightened.

People like them, who come out to hang out, have already tied their heads to their belts. If they die, they will have a big scar on their face, but they will still have a reputation for loyalty.

But if you offend Xuanmen, who knows whether you will be trained into something, and you will not be able to live in peace after death, let alone reincarnation.

Snap!

Manager Wan looked at him, and his disciple stepped forward and gave him a slap in the face. Then he tore off the rag and stuffed it into his mouth, dragging him out like a dead dog.

Then, Manager Wan shook his head slightly, looked at the three Li Yan, and said with his hands in hand, "It's thanks to Brother Li this time, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Xianyang City is in chaos these days, so please leave this matter alone. I will send it to City God Temple. No matter who is behind the scenes, no one can escape."

"The rest of you can stay in the village with peace of mind, and have food and drink taken care of by yourself."

"Senior Wan, you are busy."

When it came to Xuanmen and evil ways, the three of them didn't ask any more questions.

Manager Wan is obviously more experienced in this kind of thing.

After Manager Wan took the people away, the compound became busy again.

Seeing that Li Yan was fine, he wanted to continue looking for Zhao the Donkey.

Wang Dao Xuan had Manager Wan's permission and had already gone into his study to read his collection of Daoist miscellaneous books. However, Sha LiFei was not interested in going up the mountain, so Li Yan was the only one to go.

The back mountain was not far away, so Li Yan left the village without riding a horse, carrying the wine and vegetable boxes, and soon saw a small mountain.

The mountain is not high, but has dense vegetation, and the exposed areas are filled with gravel and loess, making it steep and difficult to walk on.

After a busy period at noon, it was already afternoon when we went up the mountain. The setting sun was shining, and an old Mountain God Temple stood in the middle of the mountain.

It's inexplicably eerie and old.

Li Yan heard people talking in the temple before he got close.

"Brother Zhao, this is a big job, don't you think about it?"

"Our ancestors have taught us that we will not accept the job of going down the hole."

"What a stupid head, that's..."

Halfway through the words, the man heard the footsteps of Li Yan, immediately stopped talking, turned around suddenly, and said gloomily, "Who?!"

My ears are quite good...

Li Yan deliberately pretended not to hear and said loudly, "Brother Zhao, are you here? I'm here to drink with you!"

"It's Brother Li!"

Zhao the Donkey originally looked wary, but when he heard Li Yan's voice, his face suddenly became happy, and then turned around and said, "Senior Mo, I won't take this job. You go back, friends come to visit, I want to entertain them."

"Oh, that's all!"

At the same time, Li Yan also saw the speaker.

He was a short, middle-aged man, dressed in coarse black clothes, wearing a small black hat, and an iron rod on his waist. His facial features were wrinkled and huddled together, and his front teeth protruded, resembling a big mouse.

Moreover, Li Yan also smelled the smell of decaying earth from its body.

The man's eyes were gloomy, and he gave Li Yan a cold look, as if he didn't want to talk to him. He turned around and left quickly, walked around the ridge and disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Li, are you free over there?"

Zhao the Donkey himself is a young man. Although he has lived in the wilderness all year round and is not good at words, after having an adventure with Li Yan, he has sincerely identified with this friend.

I am naturally happy to see Li Yan visiting me.

"Hahaha, no matter how busy you are, you still have time to drink!"

Li Yan smiled heartily, calmly, and pointed behind him.

The rat-faced man just now was really sinister. He seemed to be leaving, but in fact he was still lying behind the ridge eavesdropping.

Zhao the Donkey understood immediately and said with a smile, "Brother Li, please come in quickly. You will not come home until you get drunk today... No, I will stay here tonight."

"Alright."

Li Yan laughed and followed Mountain God Temple.

This Mountain God Temple is somewhat similar to an earthen kiln. Half of it is exposed and half is dug into the mountain wall. It looks old from the outside, but it is clean and tidy inside. There are stoves, woodsheds, and earthen kangs for sleeping on both sides.

A statue of a god stands in the main hall. He is an old man dressed as a medicine farmer.

Feeling the scent of incense above, Li Yan looked solemn. He first greeted Three Incense Sticks respectfully, and then chatted with Zhao the Donkey.

The two of them were chatting here and there without saying anything serious. After waiting for a while, Li Yan smiled and said, "Let's go, who is that person? It looks like the road is wrong..."

Zhao the Donkey did not hide anything, shook his head and said, "That is Treasure Hunter of Mystery Seeking Lineage. He knows my father. He usually looks for the tomb near Guanzhong. He has several disciples under his command, and they all do things unscrupulously."

Li Yan frowned, "He's here to trouble you?"

"That's not true."

Zhao the Donkey hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "In Xianyang City, someone suddenly released the news about Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, and he came to me to go to Zhenbao together."

"Oh?"

Li Yan became interested, "What kind of baby is it?"

Zhao the Donkey shook his head and said, "You can say it's a treasure, or it's an ominous thing. The name of that thing is Mountain Tai Sui."

"The location is not far, just outside Xianyang City Mass Burial Grounds..."
