Boom!

Tiger Crouching Cannon of Wu Ba boomed.

At the time of Qingcheng Mountain, Tiger Crouching Cannon has been modified.

The original style is a relief sculpture of a tiger swallowing its mouth in front of the muzzle, with two legs below as support.

After all, this thing is too powerful, and it also uses New-Style Gunpowder.

From the beginning of its design, it was never intended to be used as a personal weapon.

Originally this was not possible, but because Divine Land monks gathered on Opening Cellar Assembly and Qingcheng Mountain, including many Weapon Refinement Grandmaster, they worked together to reform Tiger Crouching Cannon.

The tiger's mouth remains unchanged when swallowing. The two animal feet in the front change the curvature and become a two-hand grip, while shoulder pads are added to the rear. When firing, it can be stuck on the shoulder and the force is dispersed, partly backward and partly downward.

Even so, only a monster like Wu Ba can withstand it.

As the gun roared, a large amount of white gas was ejected from the one hundred and eight air holes at the rear of the gun barrel behind him, causing the dust behind him to fly, and at the same time, a terrifying force was transmitted downwards.

Click!

Wu Ba Spider-like cracks instantly appeared on the ground beneath his feet.

Although there was too much movement, he finally stood firmly on the ground.

What is truly terrifying is its power.

Wu Ba does not use shotguns, but a whole lead shot, which has been modified by Sha LiFei and filled with a large amount of phosphorus and New-Style Gunpowder. Once it hits the target, it will explode.

In an instant, artillery fire penetrated the entrance of the underground palace like a red dragon.

Five Colors Corpse Spider pursued from behind, and all the coffins were torn apart like paper.

The rocks and soil fell, submerging the huge rotting insect limbs, and the tunnel entrance was blocked.

Rumble!

Before everyone could take a breath, a thunderous roar came from deep within the earth's veins.

It was the Tiger Crouching Cannon projectile that exploded underground.

But all this has not stopped yet.

As if a giant beast was struggling to its death, there was a continuous "click" sound of the rock formations collapsing.

Cracks spread from the cave entrance to all sides like a spider web.

Wu Ba opened his mouth wide and looked at Tiger Crouching Cannon over his shoulder in disbelief.

"Quickly retreat, the underground palace has collapsed!"

Li Yan reminded loudly and pointed out the reason.

But this underground palace of the Qin Dynasty's fake underworld has been left with flaws by Xu Fu since the beginning of its construction. The power of the Six Kingdoms Demon Army has been infecting it day and night. In addition, it has been crumbling for a long time.

Wu Ba This artillery fire completely breaks the balance.

The entire underground palace below began to collapse, and the towering fake "Luo Feng Mountain" was also caught in the huge rockfall. Half of the mountain collapsed and tilted slowly, and the "Luo Feng Six Palaces" above it completely collapsed.

Phew~

The wind howled and the black mist billowed.

Thick black Evil Omen Qi, covered with dust, spewed out.

It is Six Kingdoms Demon Army who was sealed off in the past.

The billowing black mist condensed into a Ferocious Ghost surface in the sky, impacting upward.

But at this moment, "Suihou Pearl Serpent" began to show its power.

As Yin JiuGe said, the false underworld of the Qin Palace is based on the three talents of heaven, earth and man. The "earth" position and the "human" position are both flawed, but the "heaven" position is complete and strong.

"Twenty-Eight Mansions" formed by twenty-eight meteorites above, all trembled.

"Suihou Pearl Serpent" located at Beichen is shining brightly at this moment.

What Li Yan and others don't know is that the layout of "Suihou Pearl Serpent" is very particular.

Instead, twenty-eight meteorites were used to set up the Twenty-Eight Mansions formation, which attracted the Qi of the entire Mangshan Mountains, and even implicated the Zhonglong Vein. Using "Suihou Pearl Serpent" as the eye of the formation, it turned into the sky to suppress it.

For thousands of years, it was precisely because of this formation that Six Kingdoms Demon Army had difficulty getting out of trouble.

And "Suihou Pearl Serpent" is also not simple.

This thing is already psychic. While suppressing this formation, it has been infected by the energy of the dragon's veins for thousands of years, and it has the appearance of transforming into a dragon.

As Six Kingdoms Demon Army got out of trouble, it started to take the initiative to suppress it.

The white Innate Firm Qi spurted out from the orb, winding and circling in the air. Against the backdrop of the white light of the snake bead, it looked like a divine dragon in the clouds tumbling up and down, colliding with the black mist of the demonic army rising from below.

Evil Omen Qi is the mutated Celestial Fiend Qi.

And "Suihou Pearl Serpent" absorbed a large amount of Divine Land Dragon Vein Qi Qi.

Although it is not as good as Nine Cauldrons, it is still mysterious.

The two forces collided and a dazzling bloody light erupted...

Rumble!

Li Yan and others quickly retreated.

The ground cracking didn't stop until you left the area where Northern Wei Jing Mausoleum was.

Looking up, I saw that a large part of the hillside ahead had collapsed and was covered with spider web-like cracks.

This scene is really shocking.

Everyone was speechless for a long time.

Li Yan also didn't expect that the collapse of the underground palace inside would cause such a movement.

"Inside..."

Long Yan'er was just about to ask, when his eyes widened in horror.

But in those cracks, hundreds of feet of blood suddenly appeared.

It was only one day before Qingming Festival. Although it didn't rain, the sky was covered with thick clouds.

Illuminated by the blood light emitted from the gap, half of the sky was dyed bloody...

The impact of the underground palace collapse has been felt in many places.

Cuiyunfeng, Shangqing Palace.

This is where Laozi used to make alchemy, and it is also the Daoist temple named after Divine Land Chief Seat.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was still a royal Daoist temple, which can be said to have a profound foundation.

Inside the Daoist temple, there are red walls and green tiles, groups of pines and cypresses, and the huge Pill Furnace is slowly emitting green smoke.

More than a dozen Daoists sat around Pill Furnace, waving their whisks, making secrets and chanting incantations.

Perhaps it is because Laozi made alchemy here, and Shangqing Palace is also famous for making alchemy.

They not only sell ordinary elixirs, but also refine Daoist elixirs.

Although the Waidan method of seeking immortality has killed many emperors, there are still people who continue to follow it.

These Daoists are used to digging into camps, and the current Imperial Court situation allows them to see another opportunity.

Today's Great Xuan Dynasty emperor has been wise and powerful since he was young. He has controlled Imperial Court and done many great things, which has made Great Xuan Dynasty's national power flourish. And because of the opening of the sea, further opportunities have come.

However, Human Path Change has arrived, but the emperor is old.

But what most capable people fear is "reluctance".

Not willing to have his life's hard work ruined,

Not willing to leave alone when the stage is brilliant.

This is their opportunity.

Of course, the Daoist didn't even think about making those Lead and Mercury pills.

As long as they prolong their life and maintain their vitality, blood and energy, that is enough for them.

This furnace of elixirs has collected a lot of Heavenly Spiritual Treasure and has been refining for three months.

It only takes a hundred days to refine "Earth Marrow Powder".

This is the recipe passed down by "Heshang Gong" back then.

They finally managed to get enough Spiritual Material.

At this moment, the demon-suppressing copper bell hanging on the eaves of the palace suddenly began to ring without any wind.

The little Daoist boy in the Three Purities Hall's eyes widened with horror on his face.

The "All-Heaven Five Thunder Talisman" of Laojun in front of the Attendant statue suddenly cracked!

This was passed down from Zhang Daoling back then and has always been the treasure of the Shangqing Palace.

The people practicing Dao of Alchemy outside were also shaken and had blood spurting out of their mouths.

Another treasure of the Shangqing Palace is this Pill Furnace.

Legend has it that Laozi was also passed down in that year. Although this is not the case, it is still a treasure furnace.

When refining elixirs, not only the success rate is high, but the effects are also amazing.

At this time, the Daoist priests were horrified to find that the treasure furnace was buzzing and trembling.

Black water seeped out of the hole wall, and the furnace of elixir was completely scrapped.

"Who is it?!"

The leader, the white-bearded Old Taoist, suddenly stood up, his face full of anger.

Before he could find out the reason, he saw the sky in the distance filled with blood.

Old Taoist froze, quickly pointed his fingers to deduce, and then murmured, "Oops."

"Master, what is that?" the Daoist next to him asked quickly.

"That's 'Chi Yi'!"

Old Taoist gritted his teeth and said, "The <Book of Han·Five Elements> records: Chi Yi belongs to fire, and is responsible for fighting and blood epidemics."

"I'm afraid something happened over there, so ring the bell and open the altar!"

In Luoyang City, City God Temple.

Wow!

The paint on a clay sculpture of a judge in the temple suddenly peeled off, and blood stains oozed from the gaps.

The plaque "Observe Good and Evil" in the main hall also crashed.

Phew~

Yin Wind suddenly appeared all around, and the paper money hidden on the beams was also scattered like snowflakes.

The fortune of Luoyang City is declining, the people's livelihood is in decline, and City God Temple the incense is not strong either.

Even so, many people came to offer incense in the temple.

They are all foreign businessmen. Because they cannot go back to pay homage during the Qingming Festival, they come to City God Temple to offer incense, express their condolences, and pray for Master City God's blessing.

Seeing this strange situation, the people in the temple turned pale with fear.

They couldn't figure out why the statue of the judge was bleeding?

What's more, who would put paper money on the City God Temple beam?

"Everyone, City God Temple is closed, please leave first!"

A gloomy-looking monk and Daoist Zhu Qi walked into the main hall.

These foreign merchants walked around, each one more minded than the other. When they saw something was wrong, they immediately bowed their heads and left.

Some didn't want to cause trouble and hurried to the inn.

Some ran to the yamen gate to report to the officials.

Soon, the hall became quiet.

Daoist Miao Zhu looked at the paper money on the ground, turned around suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Didn't you say that things will be settled after the Qingming Festival? Why did you create this mess again?"

The gloomy-looking monk looked towards Mang Mountain, "I'm afraid something might have happened there..."

His voice was strange and stiff, and he was a monk from Japan.

"Hmph!"

Daoist Temple Zhu sneered and picked up the paper money on the ground, "This method can only be used once. City God will patrol as usual tonight. Anyway, your request has been fulfilled. After today, there will be no more problems!"

"Hmm."

The monk nodded in agreement, but lowered his head, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Just then, there was a noise outside the door.

Daoist Miao Zhu quickly turned his head and suddenly saw blood on the horizon in the distance.

He was surprised at first, then fear flashed in his eyes, and he deduced the same tactics, and said in a trembling voice, "This year's Qingming Festival, 'Ziwei shifts', Mang Mountain's bloody light rushes straight towards Purple Forbidden Enclosure, this is a bad omen for the country's subjugation when 'ghosts invade Ziwei', what are you doing?"

At this time, a chill had already arisen in his heart.

Luoyang City has a long history. Although City God Temple's popularity is declining, the She Ling Soldiers he raised is strong, causing Shangqing Palace and White Horse Temple to compete for control.

Because of this, as a temple blessing, his mouth was full of oil.

Before Luoyang Paper Figure Case, it was because he was blackmailed and She Ling Soldiers could not operate normally that the paper man committed crimes in the middle of the night again and again.

I originally thought it was another drama between Buddhism and Taoism.

But now it seems that it may not be that simple.

Poof!

Just when he was about to turn around and ask, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

Blood spurted out of the Daoist's mouth. He lowered his head to look and saw that a Japanese Sword had penetrated from his chest.

The monk behind him has a gloomy face...

Outside Luoyang City, White Horse Temple.

This famous Zen temple also experienced abnormalities.

In the Scripture Pavilion cellar inside the temple, the sound of broken urns kept ringing.

Wow!

The "Pagoda Forest" where the bones of eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty were buried also tilted for no reason.

The monks swarmed out and looked at the scene in front of them, at a loss.

In Dragon Gate Inn, people from Heluo Horse Caravan are discussing.

During Sacrifice to the River Earl's ceremony, there was a paper coffin figure, which was really ominous.

So they tried their best to suppress this matter, but the business of the Chamber of Commerce was also affected.

"The shopkeeper's, the shopkeeper's!"

Everyone was at a loss when they saw the innkeeper barging in like crazy.

"Xiao Wu, why are you so unruly?"

Madam Pei saw this and immediately scolded him in a deep voice.

It seems strict, but in fact it is protective.

After all, she is just the helmsman of the HeLuo Merchant Guild, and there are indeed some difficult people here.

However, the waiter ignored it at all and pointed outside and said anxiously:

"On the water, something happened again on the water!"

After everyone heard this, they quickly went out to check.

But above Yi River, there were blisters rising continuously.

Many people had gathered on the shore. They separated from the crowd and were surprised.

But I saw the muddy water in the river swelled up, and a sunken ship slowly floated up.

This ship is old, the gaps are full of sand, and the ship is covered with dead bones, all tied up with chains.

What's even weirder is that the hull is made of many wood pieces.

The river water washed away the sediment on the surface, but we saw that the tomb of someone was carved on the wood chips.

The entire ship is actually made of tombstones.

"This... what is this?"

Madam Pei felt the hairs all over his body standing on end and asked quickly.

However, everyone around him shook his head.

"This is the 'Soul Collection Ship'!"

At this moment, an old voice sounded from the surrounding crowd.

But I saw a blind old man in green walking out of the crowd carrying Erhu.

Madam Pei's eyes lit up and he quickly raised his hands and said, "But senior 'Earth Listening String'?"

The person who came was none other than "Earth Listening String" Yue SanEr in Six Idlers of the Bamboo Grove.

After leaving Shuzhong, he returned to Yuzhou.

This old man had a good reputation among Daoists along the Yellow River, so he was immediately recognized.

"I dare to ask, senior, what kind of evil thing is this 'soul harvesting ship'?"

Yue SanEr said in a deep voice, "I saw this thing when I was helping people to be buried on a boat when I was young. It was only after a senior pointed it out that I knew its origin."

"During the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was a Outer Dao evil sect called Yin Talisman Sect, who was good at driving Yin soldiers. They imitated Qin Chenbi's method of controlling water and sank the ship in the whirlpool at the bottom of the river. Firstly, they used Water Vein to nourish evil spirits, and secondly, they collected the souls of the dead in battle, and awakened them to attack the enemy's formation during war."

"At the time of the 'Heyin Incident', Erzhu Rong massacred more than 2,000 Northern Wei court officials in Heyin, Luoyang, and the river turned red. Yin Talisman Sect took the opportunity to refine the 'Soul Collection Ship', which offended the public and was hunted down by the Xuanmen of the Northern Dynasty, and then disappeared."

"If it's a cloudy and rainy night, some people will occasionally see it. Folklore says it's 'Ghost Ship passing through'."

"It must be a relic from that time. Just burn it with Peach Wood Arrow. Don't let it dock."

With that said, he turned around and clasped his fists and said, "I was invited by little friend Li Yan, but I was delayed by some things on the way. Someone on the road said that they had appeared in Dragon Gate Inn. Does Captain Pei know where they are..."

Before he finished speaking, there was noise again around him.

I saw bubbles rising on the surface of the Yi River water, and the area where the mud was surging continued to expand.

And the weird "soul collecting ships" also floated one after another.

Just when everyone was stunned, the sky in the direction of Mang Mountain also turned into blood.

Madam Pei said in a trembling voice, "Li Yan and the others are in Mang Mountain..."
