Page after page, the tip of the brush quickly scratched across the paper.
According to Kong Shangzhao, the writing of Red Haired Foreigners was learned by him from a returning overseas traveler. He learned it quickly with his photographic memory, but because he had not used it for a long time, he was a little unfamiliar.
Now I can pick up my memories again and the translation speed is getting faster and faster.
He wrote manuscripts one after another and handed them over to everyone.
Li Yan looked down and frowned more and more.
Above, there are Mendes's diary and voyage records.
This person claimed that his ancestors came from the ancient Canaan area and were Lineage, a sorcerer. His grandfather was Frankish's imperial astrologer. Lineage was forced to convert to Catholicism due to the "Lisbon Massacre", but he secretly kept the fragments of "Solomon's Key" to study.
This <Solomon Key> records the method of summoning Solomon Seventy-Two Demon Gods. Because killing and sacrificing animals is not tolerated by the local church, Mendes joined a secret church, the "Canaanite Blood Alliance", and later went out to sea with the fleet to explore and practice.
He once arrived in Shendu (India) Goa and participated in the destruction of the local "Ancient Tree Divine Temple"...
In recent years, they have invaded Nanyang Malacca (Malacca), controlled local leaders, pretended to be "Pu Duli Family" Nanyang country and went to Beijing to try to pay tribute. They not only cooperated with some chambers of commerce in the south for smuggling, but also cooperated with Japanese masters to use Fushou Paste to corrupt Jinmen powerful gangs...
"Okay, now the evidence is conclusive!"
Tian Chiliarch next to him saw this and slapped the table hard, "This group of foreign businessmen are not only greedy and cunning, but also try to subvert and harm our Daxuan. Today, the emperor has ordered a nationwide investigation to thoroughly investigate the lawless foreigners. A group of officials are still obstructing them. Let's see what else they say!"
"National Dasho?"
Li Yan frowned slightly, "Is it too big a fuss?"
He knew and had seen the whole city's raids, and they would basically cause everyone to panic and the culprits would not be caught.
This was the first time he had heard of the nationwide big call, and when he thought about it, he knew how big the movement was.
Tian Chiliarch shook his head slightly and said meaningfully, "Young Hero Li, there must be a reason for the emperor to do this. I won't go into details, but I can assure you that Fushou Paste, this harmful thing, from now on, Divine Land, will be feared by everyone like a tiger."
"Oh."
Li Yan nodded and ignored it.
Tian Chiliarch couldn't explain it, so how could he not figure it out?
Great Xuan Dynasty What the current emperor likes most is balance.
Before, Native Faction was so powerful that it became a common practice for officials to collude with local gentry to conceal their land occupation.
Most of the officials in the DPRK were promoted from various places.
There may be fights, but when something happens, they will definitely share the same hatred with the enemy, and even force the emperor to change his mind.
Starting a few years ago, the emperor supported Open Sea Faction, which not only filled the treasury, but also suppressed Native Faction, completely gaining the upper hand.
Now the power of Open Sea Faction is growing rapidly.
Because of this matter, Native Faction just got the opportunity, but it was also indispensable for the emperor's push.
Sure enough, the closer you get to the capital, the closer you get to the whirlpool of power struggles.
Thinking of this, Li Yan continued to browse through the information.
What he is more concerned about is some of the things mentioned by Mendes.
According to the other party's description, their "Canaan Blood Alliance" can use animal sacrifices and taboo magic to summon Solomon Seventy-Two Demon Gods, which will descend into the womb of pregnant women and form "sons of God". The success rate has been very high in recent years.
On the vast ocean, there are already many "sons of God" exploring everywhere.
Even as far away as the European continent, there are many similar situations, with overt and covert fighting between countries.
This is Divine Land, but it violates the taboo of <Heavenly Laws>.
Li Yan remembered the scene he saw through Bronze Nuo Mask before.
Great Luo Dharma Realm is a dark void with many light spots similar to tree branches.
Netherworld, Yinsi, and Luo Feng Mountain all belong to the same light spot and are connected to many light spots.
Maybe it's heaven and western bliss, etc.
But in addition to the area where Divine Land is located, there are many similar light spots in the distance.
This Solomon Seventy-Two Demon Gods, smelling of sulfur, might be one of them.
The question is, how dare they descend from the Great Luo Dharma Realm unscrupulously?
a chill,
Inexplicably, it rose from Li Yan's heart.
The scope of this Human Path revolution may be far beyond imagination!
It took a whole day for Kong Shangzhao to finish translating all the files.
To Li Yan's surprise, the other party only mentioned Kong Zizai once.
This Mendes came by boat from the southern coast. On the way, they met a group of powerful Japanese pirates. The leader turned out to be a Divine Land scholar, whose strength was close to that of a ghost. He was about to kill them all, but he became interested in the Fushou Paste that the crew members were smoking.
After some negotiation, on the condition of helping them enter Divine Land, enter Fushou Paste into Jinmen.
After arriving at Jingmen, Kong Zizai came to contact them. Later, under the operation of Yu Wenhai, they got the cover of Marines and Jinghai Gang. However, they only had a cooperative relationship with Kong Zizai, and they used each other's strength for smuggling.
The source of this harmful thing is Nanyang Countries, who is controlled by them.
The leader of the Japanese pirates called himself "Zhao Changsheng"!
"He is indeed at sea!"
Tian Chiliarch gritted his teeth and said, "We had some guesses at that time, but unfortunately we were ambushed."
"Young Hero Li, this information is very important. I will leave now and rush to the capital to report."
"Don't worry, when you get to Tongzhou, someone will naturally contact you."
"Okay, adults, be careful on the road."
After picking up the information, Tian Chiliarch said goodbye and left, leading his men into the night.
"Yan XiaoGe, is the sea so lively?"
Sha LiFei then spoke, his eyes full of longing.
Li Yan laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the sea to see if we have a chance."
When Kong Shangzhao heard this, he hesitated and said, "Young Hero Li, if you want to go, can you take me with you?"
"I have been living in Qufu since I was a child. I have read a lot of books and I am very yearning for overseas scenery..."
"That's not okay!"
Sha LiFei shook his head quickly and patted his shoulder, "The risks at sea are high, and even this river and lake is not peaceful. We are all alone, and we are just wandering around with our heads. Your old father spent a lot of money to protect you, and we don't want to do this."
Li Yan also nodded and said, "There are many sea travelers in the capital. It is enough to listen to their stories. There is no need to take risks."
To be honest, he was really thinking about Kong Shangzhao.
Wang Dao Xuan Although he is well-read, he is only interested in Daoist secrets.
They are all a bunch of rough guys, and they only know how good this scholar's brain is after seeing him.
Not only that, the opponent is also a warlock, with Confucianism orthodox inheritance, and has great potential.
But just like what Sha LiFei said, the other party has family and roots, and they are not the same group of duckweeds.
"That's... okay."
Kong Shangzhao was obviously a little disappointed, but he still nodded and said, "When I get to Tongzhou, the people arranged by my father will pick me up. There is only a little <Seeking Immortality Chapters> left. I will finish it overnight and live up to everyone's trust."
"Thank you!"
Li Yan clasped his fists in thanks.
With this <Seeking Immortality Chapters>, they at least know where Zhao Changsheng will take action.
Because of those businessmen who colluded with Mendes for smuggling, Jin Prefecture Guild Hall has been closed and will probably not be reopened until after this storm has passed. Although it was not their fault, they are embarrassed to continue living there, so they stay at Commandery Commandant Office.
Early tomorrow morning, we will rush to Tongzhou.
After returning to his room, Li Yan immediately held the gou ultimatum with one mind.
Soon, thick fog began to rise all around.
Li Yan moved forward quickly, passing through the thick fog, and Black Well Blood Water suddenly appeared in front of him.
Without any hesitation, he immediately put his hand on the edge of the well.
Hula~
The blood-colored well water surged, and gold silk and cinnabar pens appeared.
The Li Yan pen moves like a dragon and snake, and writes the origin of Mendes, as well as the devil Barbatos and other information.
The mission I received at the beginning was to find out the origin of the foreign demons.
Once this is completed, the mission is over.
Sure enough, as the gold and silk sank into the well, a Celestial Decree and a divine gang appeared in the hook.
Celestial Decree can be used to summon Yinsi soldiers and horses as trump cards.
Shengang can cultivate and strengthen Daluo Divine Ability and Daluo magic weapon.
This time it was quite fruitful.
Li Yan was happy in his heart, but when he glanced at the sky inadvertently, he almost shuddered.
In the sky at this moment, behind the gray fog, many shadows appeared vaguely.
There is a person wearing a red official robe, it is official Judge Cui...
There is a person wearing golden armor, looking at his figure, it is that Five Paths General...
Others have never been seen before.
What are you doing?!
Li Yan was secretly surprised, but could only pretend not to see it.
"Hmph!"
A cold voice faintly came from the air, "It seems <Heavenly Laws> is just a shackle for us. Those barbarian gods overseas don't care about your heavenly laws..."
"That's wrong."
Another voice sounded, "They are ignorant and fearless, but you are not unaware of the catastrophe caused by the Great Luo Dharma Realm's excessive interference in the world of mortals. <Heavenly Laws> cannot be abolished. If there is a catastrophe, how can we have a place?"
"You guys, stop fighting..."
Some people are arguing, and some are persuading.
This kind of opportunity to eavesdrop on the secrets of the legal world is really rare.
But even if Li Yan wanted to stay pretending for a while, the surroundings quickly fell into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already back in the bedroom.
Picking up the Bronze Nuo Mask next to it, Li Yan frowned slightly.
Although he only overheard some of it, it also proved several of his guesses.
Great Luo Dharma Realm's power interferes with the human world too much, and big problems will indeed arise.
Ancient Great Flood and Investiture of the Gods War are all related to this.
Moreover, among the Divine Land immortals, there are also those who want to be reincarnated into the mortal world.
Although I don't know what they wanted to do, it is probably this disagreement that led to the birth of "Jianmu".
The builder is the tree that reaches the sky.
Li Yan suddenly had a guess in his mind.
He originally thought that these people wanted to ascend to the gods.
But I'm afraid the real purpose is to make the things in the sky come down one by one!
"What a coward!"
Li Yan cursed and looked helplessly at the bright moon outside the window.
Sure enough, it is Human Path revolution.
The future is foggy and no one can see clearly...
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Commandery Commandant Office The backyard is already brightly lit.
Li Yan and others packed their bags, and Centurion Wang bought them some Jinmen's special breakfast.
"Young Hero Li, someone came to see you."
Just as Li Yan put down the bowl, a small flag came to report.
Commandery Commandant Office does not allow outsiders to enter, Li Yan has to go out to see each other.
Before he even got close to the door, his eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his lips, and he walked quickly.
"Good boy, why are you here?!"
After walking out of the door, Li Yan immediately laughed.
Commandery Commandant Office Outside the yamen, stood a young man wearing coarse cloth with dark skin.
"Brother Yan."
The other person smiled, showing his big white teeth.
It is Li Yan's friend and follower Hei Dan in Li Family Fortress.
At that time, not long after he left Li Family Fortress, Hei Dan also admired the outside world and went to Chang'an to learn the leather-making craft from his uncle. He also offended Xiong Huo Gang and asked Li Yan for help.
I didn't expect to see each other again two years later.
"Hei Dan, you have grown taller."
Looking at the dull and honest young man in front of him, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then asked, "Why are you here Jinmen?"
Hei Dan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother Yan, since you left, my uncle's business has grown bigger and bigger. He also married a young wife and gave birth to a child. He asked me to open a shop here Jinmen and sell Chang'an leather goods."
"Fart!"
Li Yan curled his lips and said with a sneer, "Why do you say it sounds so nice? Your uncle said at the beginning that he would treat you as his son and inherit the family business. Now that he has a child, I'm afraid he thinks you are an eyesore."
"It's not my fault, uncle."
Hei Dan quickly explained, "He is also in a difficult situation. My aunt keeps making trouble..."
As he spoke, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "My parents are gone, and they didn't see me getting married until I was old. Now that I have nothing to worry about, I might as well go out and make a living. At least my uncle has passed on all his skills to me."
"My condolences."
Li Yan sighed and patted Hei Dan on the shoulder.
He has a good relationship with Hei Dan, but his parents gossip about him behind his back all day long, and Li Yan doesn't like him very much.
Just seeing old friends again will inevitably make you feel sad about the passage of time.
"Right."
Hei Dan quickly took something out of his arms, "When I returned to Li Family Fortress, a Daoist priest came from the village and was looking around for you. He heard that I have a good relationship with you, so he asked me to give this thing to you."
Li Yan took a look and his face immediately became gloomy.
On it is an imperial edict, which reads: Northern Xinjiang is beacon-fired, and the sky is covered with dust... I have led my troops in hundreds of battles, fought bloody battles for many years, and been loyal and brave throughout the day. Their merits are in the country.
This is the imperial edict from which his grandfather Li Gui received a reward after the Battle of Northern Xinjiang!
"What did the other party say?"
Seeing the expression on Li Yan's face, Hei Dan was startled, "Yan-ge, maybe there's something wrong with that man, he looks very nice to me."
"It's okay."
Li Yan comforted him, "What does he look like? Do you have a message?"
Hei Dan nodded quickly, "He is a very kind Daoist. It's strange that I can't remember his appearance... He asked me to give this thing to you, but I asked around and didn't know where you were. I heard someone talk about the Sancha River Mouth dock before, so I came here."
"He said he is waiting for you in the capital."
"Wait for me?"
Li Yan sneered in his heart and suppressed his murderous intention.
He had already investigated and dealt with many incidents back then.
Zhao Changsheng was able to seize the body and escape, and also entered the Ministry of Rites to cause trouble, only because there were people in the capital who helped him.
The other party is also from Jianmu, and he only knows one name: Zhao Qingxu.
"Yan-ge, there is one more thing I want to ask you for."
Hei Dan said embarrassedly, "I wanted to open a shop at the dock, but something happened to Sancha River Mouth, so I could only go to the workshop, but the people in the yamen would not register..."
"Easy to say."
Li Yan invites Centurion Wang to come immediately.
"What's so difficult about this?"
Wang Baihu smiled slightly and said, "Young Hero Li Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me!"
Although old friends met again, the boat at the dock was already waiting, so Li Yan had no choice but to say goodbye, took another few hundred taels of silver, stuffed it into Hei Dan's arms, and then rushed to the dock with everyone's bags.
Hei Dan arrived at the dock and stood on the dam constantly waving.
Watching the Li Yan boat getting smaller and smaller, my eyes were full of bitterness.
"Haha..."
Wang Baihu smiled slightly and patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much, that Young Hero Li is the dragon in the clouds. It is a rare fate to meet him and treat you as a friend."
"Don't worry, you are Young Hero Li's friend, and you will definitely have a place here Jinmen!"
"Hmm."
Hei Dan nodded and looked towards the workshop area.
San Cha River Although the pier was destroyed, the workshop area was becoming more and more lively.
Boats came and went, and countless workers gathered like ants, working day and night in various workshops.
Mendes, Jinghai Gang, bombardment San Cha River...
In this hustle and bustle, it seems to be quickly forgotten.
