Chapter 97 Nogao!
"That's natural." Li Yan nodded in response.
Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique, was the first spell he learned.
The warlock awakens Divine Ability and successfully saves the spirit. Even if he does not know how to set up an altar, he can simply activate some magic weapons or use certain spells.
Just like his Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin and Cloud Thunder Divine Drum.
This "Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique" was taught by the Enforcement Hall Daoist Luo MingZi when dealing with Chen FaKui. It can be used to avoid evil objects or frighten wild beasts according to the spell changes of Six Jia Secret Incantation. It is very practical.
According to Chen FaKui, this method was left by Ge Xianweng and passed down to the world Xuan Gate Disciple. It is used to avoid disasters when going into the mountains. It is not unusual, so it can be spread to other countries.
But after asking Wang Dao Xuan, I realized it was not that simple.
Indeed, this method is nothing to the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect, but it is a real method after all, and many sects of the Dharma lineage must undergo strict assessment before they are taught.
Even Wang Dao Xuan himself has not learned it all.
Because of this, Li Yan respects Luo MingZi very much.
The only trouble in performing this method is that it requires a magical weapon to cooperate.
Even if you know "Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique", the effect will be completely different depending on the level of Daoism and the quality of the magic weapon.
The yarrow used by Li Yan is far inferior to the "Upper Xuan Bamboo Envoy Talisman" used by the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect disciples.
Wang Dao Xuan also became interested, "Fellow Daoist, could it be that this Divine Tiger Token can cooperate with Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique?"
Chen Yuan nodded, "It's made from the remains of our ancestors. It's not easy. The power far exceeds that of the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect's 'Upper Xuan Bamboo Envoy Talisman'. It also contains the power of a tiger. If you hold it into the mountain, all beasts will not dare to disturb it."
"In addition, there is another First Gate technique passed down from Medicine King in my lineage, which has the same origin as Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique. Because it is contained in <Thousand Gold Supplement Remedies>, it is called Thousand Gold Body Protection Incantation. It can hurt people Divine Soul. In mild cases, they will make them dizzy, and in severe cases, they will fall into illusions..."
Li Yan's eyes twitched, "I just learned this technique today."
"Fellow Daoist, don't be surprised."
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The ancestor's true spirit has sustained him for thousands of years. He is rarely awake and sleeps most of the time. He is no different from an ordinary temple god. He will instinctively fight back when threatened."
"I am from the Medicine King lineage. Most of my techniques are used to cure diseases and save people. I am not good at attacking. Only this technique comes from the pre-Qin Dynasty. I am good at repelling the enemy. It is even more powerful when combined with Divine Tiger Token."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Daoist priest may have other intentions when he said this, right?"
Chen Yuan nodded and sighed, "Medicine King teaches the Dharma so that the disciples can avoid evil beasts and bandits when they go into the mountains to collect herbs. Therefore, Thousand Gold Remedies that is circulated outside does not record these Dharma methods."
"Then Lin Hui is not a Daoist magician. He hurts people and seizes orders. He must be deceived by others and wants to sell this thing. If it falls into the wrong hands, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
"The poor Daoist is not good at fighting, and his disciples are not good at magic. I want to use this 'Thousand Gold Body Protection Incantation' as a reward. Please ask Layman Li to take back Divine Tiger Token."
"If you take it back, Divine Tiger Token will also be given to you as a gift."
Li Yan was a little surprised, "Divine Tiger Token is the most precious treasure of your family, and the Daoist priest is willing to part with it?"
Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In my lineage, we are not competing with others. I originally kept Divine Tiger Token just to miss my ancestor. Zhongnan Mountain is safe and I rarely use it."
"Now that it has been known, staying here will be a disaster. This time it is a poor Daoist, and next time it may be a disciple. It is more important to keep the incense burning and the hanging pot hanging."
"Besides, I don't want this thing to fall into the hands of people with evil intentions."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Daoist, aren't you afraid that I am also a bad person?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I believe in Martial Grandfather's vision."
Having said that, Li Yan was naturally not ambiguous. He cupped his fists and said, "Daoist priest, just rest assured and recover. Li will take over this job."
After that, the three of them said goodbye and went out.
"This job is not easy."
Returning to Wing Room, Sha LiFei scratched his head and shook his head and said, "It's been almost two days, and it's still raining. He might have run away early. If he went to Chang'an, you wouldn't follow him thousands of miles away."
"Besides, we have something to do and we can't delay. If it snows on the Qinling Mountain Road, we will be stuck on the road..."
Wang Dao Xuan was also a little worried, "It's a pity that I don't have enough moral knowledge. This Zhongnan Mountain is also covered by Innate Firm Qi. Otherwise, if I go back to the original forum and open a forum, maybe I can find clues."
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, let's try it first."
After that, he found the Daoist boy and went to where Lin Hui lived. He took note of the smell and went out to search.
Unfortunately, as Wang Dao Xuan said, an autumn rain has already diluted the taste, and when you pinch Yang Seal to use Divine Ability, it is covered by the mountains Innate Firm Qi.
Li Yan had no choice but to return to the temple.
With a thought in his heart, he came to the main hall of the temple again, lit the Three Incense Sticks respectfully, and said in a deep voice, "Senior, I will help your family catch the murderer. If you know anything, can you tell me."
Unfortunately, I waited for a long time and there was no response.
Li Yan sighed slightly and had some guesses in his mind.
This Tiger Daoist true spirit has persisted for thousands of years, just because of a trace of obsession to see Medicine King again. If it were not for saving people, it would not appear at all, and how could it be interested in something external to the body.
Now that things have come to this, they have nothing to do.
Both the bargeman and the handlebar are waiting. They have finished their work and have to return immediately to reunite with their families before the winter solstice. How can they accompany them to investigate the case?
Besides, the dead cannot stay long on the road.
Li Yan had no choice but to tell Chen Yuan about the matter and promised to pay attention to the news on the road and take Divine Tiger Token back as soon as there was an opportunity.
At dawn the next day, everyone was ready to get up and leave.
At this moment, the Daoist boy hurriedly ran out of the temple gate, handed a wooden box with both hands, and said respectfully, "Sir, the master asked me to hand this over to you."
"Master said that whether he can get things back or not depends on fate, so Lay Practitioner Li doesn't need to take it too seriously. He has to repay his life-saving kindness. Unfortunately, he has nothing to offer, so he uses this technique as a gift."
Li Yan knew what was in the box and nodded. "Thank you very much. Please also tell Chang'an that your heart is recovering and we will come and visit if we have the opportunity."
After that, he said goodbye with his fists clasped in his arms and got on his horse.
"Hit the road!"
After giving the order, the team continued to set off.
When we left Zhongnan Mountain, the sky in the distance turned white.
Li Yan couldn't help but look back.
In the blur, there seemed to be a tiger at the foot of the mountain, holding a copper ring in its mouth, staring blankly at the sky...
Creaking and creaking, the carriage moved forward with difficulty.
The Qinling Mountains isolate the north from the south, and the climate is changeable. Before, there were deep clouds and fog, but one day after leaving Zhongnan Mountain, the sky suddenly cleared up.
The last traces of autumn heat are scorching the mountains and rivers. Some roads have dried out, but the shaded areas are even muddy, with deep pits dug by ruts.
"This road is really bad!"
Sha LiFei After helping the pole pullers push the cart through the pit, he got on his horse and couldn't help but complain.
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "This Qin-Chu Ancient Road, Xianyang section to Zhongnan was built during the Qin Dynasty. The section we are walking on was excavated during the Han Dynasty. The road is long and the imperial court has no money to maintain it."
"It's pretty good here. If the ancient roads leading to Bashu in the west were in disrepair and collapsed, they would be trapped on the road and it would be more difficult to walk..."
They chatted just to pass the time on the road.
Li Yan was sitting on the horse, looking at the cloth in his hand and lost in thought.
This item is exactly "Thousand Gold Body Protection Incantation" presented by Chen Yuan.
On the cloth scroll, there are both Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper diagrams and manual incantations, which look extremely complicated and dazzling.
In the past, Li Yan would definitely not be able to understand it. But he has entered Daoism, and Wang Dao Xuan often gives guidance, so he already understands these things.
More importantly, it is very similar to "Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique".
Especially both spells.
Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique is: Nogao, the only great-grandson is Wang Jia, Six Jia Azure Dragon, Six Yi Meeting Star, Six Bing Bright Hall, Liudingyinzhong...
Thousand Gold Body Protection Incantation is: 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 heart. The east is the west, the south is the north...
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "Daoist Priest, what exactly is 'Nogao'?"
"Pindao really knows something about this matter." Wang Dao Xuan also became interested, slowed down his horse and walked alongside him, took the roll of cloth and examined it carefully.
After a long while, he recalled, "That was an ancient book I accidentally saw in a study room of a house when I was wandering around Chu. It was the spell used to get rid of nightmares in the chapter Qin Bamboo Slips "Day Book·Dream"..."
"Nogao! I dare to tell you Wanqi: Someone had a nightmare and returned to Wanqi's place... Wanqi is Bo Qi in Twelve Nuo Beasts."
"Unfortunately, there are only incantations and Bamboo Strips is incomplete. Later I asked a senior from Yixuanmen and he said that someone had researched it and found that 'Nogao' should be the name of a Grand Yin True God from ancient times."
"But what it is exactly, no one knows for a long time. Fortunately, this technique can still be used, and there are so many gods, so no one is studying it carefully."
"According to what fellow Daoist Chen Yuan said, Embracing Simplicity Mountain Climbing Technique and Thousand Gold Body Protection Incantation have the same origin. They both come from the pre-Qin Dynasty, and may be related to the former Qin Palace Mystical Arts Sect."
"Oh, that's it."
Li Yan felt a little regretful and carefully put away the cloth roll.
This Thousand Gold Body Protection Incantation also requires the cooperation of a magic weapon.
Of course, it is not necessary to use Divine Tiger Token, it can be refined as long as the bones of mountain beasts that give birth to spirituality.
If there is a chance, I still have to ask someone to make one.
"Ah-!"
At this moment, a faint scream came from the front.
"Be careful!"
Li Yan's expression changed, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to stop. Then he pinched Yang Seal and heard it, and said in a deep voice, "There is a beast attacking us ahead. You stay where you are, Uncle Sha will guard you and wait for my signal!"
After that, he shook the reins and rode out.
After turning two corners, the screams and roars of wild beasts became more and more obvious, and the smell of blood and the smell of wild beasts hit my face.
Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, he lowered his body, clamped the horse's belly, touched his waist with both hands, and took out two throwing knives each.
Mass Burial Grounds's battle made him see the benefits of flying knives.
He had already practiced before. On the way away from Xianyang, he often practiced with wild beasts on the roadside. With the addition of Divine Ability, he was not as good as the masters who were good at this, but he was still good enough.
Phew! Phew!
Just after turning the corner, Li Yan shook his arms, flicked his left and right hands, and flying knives came out.
I saw a group of businessmen on their way around the bend of the mountain. They had set up camp in the open space beside the road. There were about seven or eight people.
And around them, there were more than a dozen evil wolves surrounding them, some baring their teeth to threaten, some suddenly attacking, and attacking and harassing them again and again.
This is the tactic of the wolf pack.
In the camp, there were two people with good skills. They were holding simple knives to protect everyone behind them, slashing left and right. Several wolf corpses had fallen in front of them.
However, just like Li Yan, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.
They were just trying to protect themselves, but two of them had been dragged out of defense by the evil wolf, and were bitten on the ground. Their flesh and blood were bloody, and they had long since lost their breath.
Phew! Phew!
Li Yan's flying knife pierced directly into the bodies of the two evil wolves.
Of course, this was purely a blind shot based on taste, not to mention that the wild wolf was so flexible that it didn't hit the target at all.
Not only that, the wolves were also angered.
The wolves in the Qinling Mountains are originally large in size and ferocious in temperament. The leader of the wolf is even more ferocious. With a low roar, several wolves will attack.
Hu Lulu!
Li Yan The black horse beneath him was frightened and immediately shook his head and backed away.
This is just an ordinary horse, with a gentle personality and relatively timid.
However, when faced with the charging wolves, Li Yan did not panic. He threw out the flying knife just to interrupt the wolves' attack.
To deal with these things, Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin is actually very useful.
Li Yan has already grasped the handle of the knife and moved it with concentration.
Hu Lulu!
Cold murderous intent overflowed, and the horse beneath him collapsed to the ground in fear.
The charging wolves stopped suddenly one by one, turned around and ran away whimpering.
These beasts are more sensitive to murderous intent.
The aura Sancai exuded before suppressing the demon made them tremble with fear.
"Ho--!"
A wolf howled, but it was the wolf that was roaring.
Maybe this guy was brave, maybe he had seen similar things before, but he was not afraid anyway. He roared and tried to encourage the wolves to continue the siege.
However, this time, there was also a flaw in the wolf pack's encirclement.
A man standing in front of the caravan rushed forward upon seeing this, his eyes widened with anger, and with a roar, he whizzed down with his sword.
Poof!
This sword is powerful and heavy.
The alpha wolf was unprepared and his head was cut off directly.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the wolf's head rolled down.
At this time, the other wild wolves were no longer restrained and quickly fled in all directions, disappearing into the forest.
Li Yan Seeing this, the long sword that had been half pulled out was put back into its sheath again, and he groped the neck of the collapsed war horse to comfort him.
Fortunately, this horse was a little stupid, so he ate two more carrots, stood up quickly, snorted and licked Li Yan's palm.
The man who took action breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the wolves leaving. He came to Li Yan and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much for your help, young hero..."
The sobbing continued, and the people in the caravan began to clean up the mess.
Sha LiFei and others also came to help collect the corpse. Wang Dao Xuan shook Soul Calming Bell and recited a scripture to save the souls of the dead.
This era is different from Li Yan's previous life.
Traveling on the road is difficult, and meeting each other is fate. Although it is necessary to be on guard against others, you must take action when it is time to take action, and you can also inquire about news on the road.
Don't underestimate this, maybe someone's innocent words can help you avoid a disaster or make a small fortune.
This team was not a full-time caravan, but villagers from Shang Prefecture near the Zhà water. They pulled several large carts of Lao Pi Paper and went to Chang'an to sell them.
Wang Dao Xuan looked at the goods on the car and said in surprise, "Zha Shui Lao Pi Paper The quality Higher Vehicle is ranked high in the entire Shaanxi Province. We have our own caravan to buy it, why do you need to do it yourself?"
Lao Pi Paper, that is, burned earth paper and fire paper, they are called differently in different places.
"Not those bandits!"
The man wielding the sword spat hard, his face full of anger.
