"What's the hurry? I'm saving you!"
Li Yan sounded a little impatient.
He had just experienced a life and death situation. Although Great Luo Dharma Body had recovered, the mental fatigue and tension had not dissipated. The old man kept urging him, which made him really upset.
Especially this Cloth Bag, an heirloom of the Beggar Clan, seems to be growing on the ground, with the roots broken and unable to be pulled off.
Li Yan is furious, Hidden Strength is erupting, and wants to tear Cloth Bag apart.
However, the more effort you exert, the more blessings from heaven and earth will come to you.
At the same time, the flame that was originally extinguished on Great Luo Dharma Body's left shoulder was ignited again, jumping smartly and emitting a faint blue light...
This?!
Li Yan looked surprised and a little unbelievable.
After Li Family Fortress killed the wolf, the third Life Flame that was extinguished was finally rekindled!
Judging from the information obtained from Great Luo Dharma Body, absorbing and swallowing Heavenly Spiritual Treasure has different effects.
For example, the drumstick he got at GuShui Village is to enhance the strength of the Dharmakaya.
Li Yan looked at Cloth Bag in his hand.
Could it be that this dirty thing can repair Life Flame?
Wrong!
Li Yan soon discovered something was fishy.
As his Life Flame ignited, the Old Mountain God's complexion became more and more declining, and the eyes looking at him also brought a certain despair.
So that's it...
Li Yan was a little embarrassed despite being happy, so he quickly let go of Cloth Bag.
It turns out that this thing is just a medium.
What he really devoured was Old Mountain God's good fortune!
It is good luck to rekindle Life Flame.
If you continue to absorb it greedily, not only will it have little effect, but it will also kill the God of Fortune who protects you. That would be a big sin.
Sure enough, after he let go, the old man's expression became much more relaxed, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
Li Yan After careful observation, we finally discovered the reason.
In the illusion transmitted by Old Mountain God, the area connected to Cloth Bag's head was filled with spikes and red ropes arranged according to the Eight Trigrams, as if Cloth Bag and his head were sewn together.
It turns out there is even a layout!
It should be in another cave...
At this moment, the battle outside the cave also came to an end.
The Daoist was also shrewd and did not get into trouble with Chu Shan, who was on the verge of death and going crazy. Instead, he relied on his speed and ran around pulling his intestines.
This mountain-like Maitreya Branch Master finally couldn't hold it any longer, and with a roar, its huge body fell to the ground, completely expiring.
The man finally breathed a sigh of relief, threw away his intestines and returned to the cave.
Just then Li Yan noticed the reason and quickly shouted, "Quick, Daoist Master, we have to break the restriction of another hole!"
The Daoist didn't ask any more questions and left directly.
In another cave, Mo LaoWai looked extremely ugly.
The two caves are not far apart, and the desperate and crazy howl of Chu Shan before his death seems to still be echoing.
Failed... how is it possible?
Then, the figure that appeared at the door completely made him despair.
Luo Fengzi also looked surprised and quickly reminded, "Junior brother, be careful, there is a poison planted by this monster in the cave!"
The Daoist understood instantly and did not enter the hole. He stretched out his hand and Treasure Sword roared out.
Before Mo LaoWai had time to beg for mercy, he was stabbed in the head with a sword and fell straight to the ground. At the same time, Red Stick Red Rope beside him was completely crushed over.
On the other end, Li Yan also noticed it and pulled Cloth Bag up at the same time.
And this thing seemed to have completely lost Spiritual Charm, quickly turning black and tattered in his hands.
Li Yan threw it aside directly, and the illusion appeared in his mind again:
On the head of Old Mountain God, Cloth Bag has disappeared, revealing a crown, which is made of twisted tree roots and is also covered with moss.
The old man's expression improved obviously, and he slightly arched his hands towards him.
At this moment, at the Dharma altar at the foot of the mountain, the rituals reached a critical moment.
Qing YangZi lit the yellow watch and played, and at noon, he waved Law Sword, Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, then picked up the decree and slapped it three times on the altar table.
All of a sudden, the wind started blowing all around.
The incense burning on the altar seemed to be swept by a whirlwind, floating towards Mass Burial Grounds.
At the same time, he picked up a Bagua bronze mirror, looked at the sun in the sky, and then adjusted its direction, facing Mass Burial Grounds sideways, as if to refract the light.
In the Li Yan illusion, changes also occurred at the same time:
Suddenly a ray of light fell in the sky. Old Mountain God looked up, his eyes full of joy. Then the moss around him slowly peeled off, and he looked at Li Yan again, his mouth opening and closing.
Although there is no sound, Li Yan can clearly see the shape of the mouth.
The other party just repeated two words: Run away!
Li Yan's complexion changed slightly as he remembered something.
Luo MingZi once said that if this Old Mountain God wants to return to its original position, it must first disperse the Yin Energy it has absorbed over the past hundred years and gather the earth veins Gang Qi to form Shen Gang.
Mass Burial Grounds has accumulated Killing Intent for many years. How could it be that Li Yan didn't say anything, picked up the unconscious Luo MingZi and ran out.
At the same time, Luo Fengzi and others from another cave have also come out.
The "Earth Blood Garment" poison disappeared on its own when the time was up. The reason why they spent some time was to search for the antidote from Mo LaoWai.
After hearing Li Yan's reminder, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
The Daoist who was first injured by Chu Shan may have had his head hit the wall and was bleeding internally. By the time they checked, he was already dead.
There was no time to grieve, Gu Chenzi picked up the body and ran out.
Even so, visions have appeared:
From the rock-like crevices of Mountain Tai Sui, Yin Energy spurted out like billowing cold mist, covering everything along the way with ice and frost.
Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts, who had been on Mass Burial Grounds for many years, also clearly noticed something and got into the underground and cave cracks one after another.
Everyone moved quickly, with Yin Energy hot on their heels.
At the same time, the entire cave was shaking, and earth and rocks were falling.
Li Yan was not surprised when he saw it.
This Mountain Tai Sui's good fortune, after repairing Great Luo Dharma Body, ignited Life Flame again. The mountain god can still resist it, which shows how huge the Mountain Tai Sui body is.
What they saw was just the top corner...
"What's going on?"
Outside the cave, people at Commandery Commandant Office also noticed something strange.
Guan WanChe flashed a trace of worry in his eyes, clasping his fists and saying, "Sir, the situation may have changed. Would you like me to bring someone in to check?"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without waiting for Chang Xuan to speak, Li Yan and others rushed out quickly, and at the same time reminded urgently, "Quickly avoid the entrance of the cave!"
Although the Commandery Commandant Office people didn't understand why, they dispersed one after another.
Boom!
Cold and gloomy mist, wrapped in mud, dust and smoke spewed out.
Frost instantly condensed on the ground, and the surrounding area suddenly became cold.
Looking at this scene, Guan WanChe and others felt lingering fear.
They are well-informed and know that this Yin Energy is powerful. If it is hit, it will not be as simple as trembling with cold, or at least a serious illness.
Li Yan sniffed, his face changed slightly, he stood up suddenly and looked around, "Be careful, there is the smell of Cockscomb Snake!"
"It doesn't matter, he's gone."
Chang Xuan shook his head and sighed, "That person is Maitreya Sect Branch Master DuGu Gan. He is very skilled in magic. We can't catch him, so we can only force him back."
"Oh?"
Li Yan There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged and he nodded. "Just leave, sir, you are awesome..."
"Okay, the corpse Gu has completely disappeared."
Under the big tree by the roadside, Zhao the Donkey opened Sha LiFei's eyelids and saw that there was no black line in the whites of his lower eyes. He smelled the smell on his body and then nodded and said, "Although the corpse poison has been cured, there will inevitably be some residue."
"Go back and find some raw glutinous rice, spread it under your body every night when you sleep, and bask in the sun for half an hour at noon every day. After another seven or eight days, it will be completely eliminated."
He received a request for help from Li Yan and immediately came from Mountain God Temple.
As expected, there is another mystery to the method of suppressing the treasure lineage. When he saw the arrangements by Luo MingZi and others, he immediately asked everyone to move under the noon sun, and pricked Zusanli with a three-edged needle to bleed.
By the time the black, smelly pus and blood dried up, everyone was awake.
It just so happened that Li Yan and others came back and took the antidote in cooperation with Corpse Gu Poison for everyone.
"That's good, that's good."
Sha LiFei's face was still a little gray, and he said with a sad face, "Laozi must not have looked at the almanac when going out today, Daoist priest, remember to remember this when you go out in the future!"
"Okay!"
Wang Dao Xuan stroked his beard and smiled, obviously relieved.
He is a kind man and treats everyone sincerely, but he is not a fool, otherwise all these years of wandering around in the world would have been in vain.
Among the three, Li Yan seems to be ruthless, but he has a bottom line in everything he does and makes promises worth a thousand dollars, making him the most trustworthy.
Although he chatted with Sha LiFei, he was secretly wary.
I really didn't expect today that Sha LiFei would protect him with his body at the critical moment, and it was a completely instinctive reaction.
At this moment, Sha LiFei completely won their trust.
Zhao the Donkey Seeing the appearance of the three of them, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he said with a naive smile, "Okay, you guys should go back and rest early, I have to leave too."
Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zhao, living in seclusion in the barren mountains alone is a bit boring. We are sending a senior to return to his roots and will go to the Qinling Mountains. Why not go and see the scenery of the Qinling Mountains?"
When he said this, it was already an invitation.
Zhao the Donkey After hearing this, he laughed innocently and scratched his head, "No, my father asked me to make an oath when he left. I will never enter the Qinling Mountains or leave Guanzhong."
"We don't have that much thought. This land is enough to support me. I can save some money, marry a mother-in-law, and continue the incense of the Zhao family."
Li Yan sighed secretly, clasped his fists and said, "That's fine, remember to notify us when the time comes. Brother Zhao's wedding banquet cannot be missed. He will come even from the ends of the world."
He was very fond of this honest and honest Treasure Hunter, but everyone had their own ambitions, and not everyone was willing to wander around the world, so he had to give up.
"By the way, there is a bottle of chrysanthemum wine here, take it with you to drink on the way."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of wine from the backpack behind him.
This was given by Granny Liu at that time. Anyway, he did not dare to drink this family wine, so it was just given to Zhao the Donkey to quench his thirst on the road.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Zhao the Donkey took the chrysanthemum wine with a happy face, clasped his fists at everyone and left.
After a while, the people were gone, but the wild and bold Xintianyou Folk Song song floated slowly. "Hey, hey, hey, sheep's belly and handkerchief, three streaks of blue, it's not easy to meet, oh, it's hard to talk..."
Wang Dao Xuan sighed, "When people are content, they are happy."
"Old Sha I'm not satisfied, ouch!"
But Sha LiFei turned on his horse and accidentally hit the wound again. He grinned in pain and shouted, "No matter what, I almost died today. Daoist priest, chrysanthemum wine, and crabs full of cream, you have to take care of them!"
"That's a hairy thing. Your injury hasn't healed yet. Are you looking for death?"
"Well... you have to treat me to a nice meal anyway!"
"Okay, okay, you have the final say!"
Double Ninth As soon as it passed, the weather became colder and cooler.
"Excuse me, is Daoist Luo MingZi here?"
It was still dark, City God Temple was standing outside, and Li Yan, dressed in black, handed over his hand and asked.
"Is it Mr. Li?"
The Daoist boy nodded and said, "My uncle has already told me to wait for you here. Please come with me."
With that said, he turned around and led the way.
Li Yan entered City God Temple for the first time, but instead of following the Daoist boy into the main hall, he came to the side courtyard next to the back hall.
The courtyard door opened, and Luo MingZi was sitting on a wicker chair with a pale face. When he saw Li Yan arriving, he got up to greet him.
"Daoist priest, slow down."
Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said a little embarrassedly, "If I were not in a hurry to leave, I would be too embarrassed to disturb the Daoist priest's rest."
"It doesn't matter."
Luo MingZi stood up slowly and said with a smile, "It's time to move the coffin and hit the road today. If we miss the time, it will take at least ten more days, so we can't delay it."
Saying that, he took Li Yan into the room.
A small wooden box has been placed on the table, similar to the book box that scholars memorize for exams, and there is even a bamboo curtain above it to protect it from wind and rain.
"This is what you want. It was delivered quickly from Chang'an yesterday..." Luo MingZi said while opening the small drawers of the wooden box one by one.
"I have prepared twenty yarrow sticks for the invisibility method..."
"Thunder Fire Pill, prepared ten..."
"Evil Avoidance Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, Corpse Suppression Talisman... five each, and this is Turbidity Dispelling Incense, which can remove bad luck after being lit..."
A box full of bits and pieces.
"This... is too much."
Li Yan was a little surprised, "How much does it cost?"
Seeing that Enforcement Hall Thunder Fire Pill was sharp at that time, he thought about buying some before leaving. Luo MingZi agreed without hesitation, but he did not expect to buy so many.
Luo MingZi laughed dumbly and sighed, "Enforcement Hall also has a ruling. Killing Maitreya Sect Branch Master is a great achievement. If you give the credit to junior brother Gu Hezi, his youngest son can directly enter Xuanmen."
"The brothers and sisters are very grateful. After collecting these things, why would they ask you for money? You haven't built the building yet and if the talisman cannot be used, you can give it to Wang Daoyou."
"Thank you!"
Having said that, Li Yan stopped being polite and asked, "Daoist Priest, are your injuries okay?"
Luo MingZi smiled and said, "I need to rest for a few months. Also, I have accumulated enough merits and will be transferred to Chang'an in the future."
"Guanzhong has a good harvest this year, and that Lord Li has just become Provincial Administration Commissioner, so the fifteenth lantern festival will definitely be very lively. Calculate the time, it will be the Chinese New Year when you come back, you can come to Chang'an City God Temple to find me, and then get drunk again."
After that, he took out another letter from his arms, "In Tai Bai Mountain Doumu Institute, there is a junior brother Yu Linzi who has a close relationship with me. If you have any inconvenience when you arrive at Tai Bai Mountain, you can go to him directly for help."
"Thank you, Daoist priest!"
"Well, have a nice journey. I'll wait for you at Chang'an."
Li Yan took it respectfully, put the box on his back and said goodbye with clasped fists.
After leaving City God Temple, he rode directly through the streets and came to South City gate.
At this time, the city gate was about to open. Wang Dao Xuan and Sha LiFei had already prepared their bags and rode their horses to wait.
Behind them, there was a carriage with Wu Lao Si's coffin on it.
The old man driving the car, Meng, was found from Tai Xing Cart and Horse Company. He had a good handlebar style and was followed by four other men, all of whom were bargemasters from the bar house.
This is the entire team that carried the coffin back home.
Rumble!
As the city gate opened, Wang Dao Xuan threw up a handful of paper money and chanted. "The dead are on their way, the fallen leaves are returning to their roots. Do not disturb the yin people, and do not scare the yang people."
As he spoke, he cupped his fists and looked around, "Everyone, please bear with me."
There were a lot of people waiting to go out. Although Wang Dao Xuan said it politely, the people around him had unlucky looks on their faces and stayed away.
"Go quickly!"
A young sergeant guarding the city also had a look of disgust on his face, but as soon as he started to scold him, he was pulled away by the veteran next to him.
The veteran's face was full of flattery, and he cupped his hands and said, "Young Hero Li, you go first, this kid is ignorant, don't worry about it."
Li Yan didn't know why, but he still handed it over and said, "Thank you."
Having said that, Bento took the lead and left slowly with the team.
Watching them walk away, the veteran scolded, "You kid, why don't you have any eyesight? That's Li Yan."
"Li Yan?"
Xiaobing gasped, "Kill Zhou Bai with one punch, and also move the Zhou family's Li Yan?"
"It's not that exaggerated. It's all rumors spread by the common people." The veteran shook his head and sighed, "But he is related to the Zhang family, City God Temple and even Commandery Commandant Office. It's not you and I who can offend him."
After hearing this, Xiao Bing's face was full of envy, "I heard that when he entered the city, he still sneaked in and became famous in the world in a short period of time. Why am I not so lucky..."
"Become famous?"
The old soldier was happy, shook his head and said, "You have no experience, Xianyang City is just a small place, even the dead Zhou Monkey dare not say how awesome he is."
"This world is so big..."
Chapter 5 has been released. It will return to normal time tomorrow and will be updated at 10 o'clock.
