Chapter 137 Crying to Heaven, Earth, Ghosts and Gods

"Night Cryer?"

Xiong Baodong, who was standing next to him, did not change his expression. He snorted and cursed, "This name sounds unlucky. What's its origin?"

Liu Wenchen glanced at Li Yan in the distance, his face looking a little unhappy, "Ye Kulang is a member of the Dark Cult. He was once very powerful, but later he offended the Green Foresters in Guanzhong, and his entire family was killed."

"He went up the mountain alone and used a secret method to massacre all the twelve villages in Guanzhong. On the Chang'an Road, all the sorcerers who were related to this incident were also killed. It caused a shock to the Xuanmen at that time."

Xiong Baodong was also a little surprised, "Why didn't you introduce such a powerful person to me, and instead let the opponent get the advantage?"

"The boss doesn't know."

Liu Wenchen whispered, "After he got his revenge, he became disheartened and spent the whole day in a daze, either getting drunk all night long or hanging out in brothels. He rarely participated in the affairs of the Xuanmen sect and usually made a living by doing funeral ceremonies."

"This person has been silent. I don't know how the other side persuaded him to come out..."

Xiong Baodong was silent for a moment, "So, this scene is over?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Liu Wenchen's voice trembled a little, "Ye Kulang killed people like crazy, but Shangshan's method is no less fierce."

"It's just that I heard that Ye Kulang seems to be at odds with the Shangshan clan. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for us to explain to Mr. Yue..."

To be honest, he was a little scared at this moment.

Originally, he just wanted to covet the magic weapon inherited from Red Yaksha and took advantage of the fact that the other party always kept to himself, so he made the appointment to fight.

Unexpectedly, with the intervention of the Five Elements and Fire Bear Gang, the matter had completely gotten out of control. If anything serious happened, he would not be able to afford it.

Xiong Baodong frowned after hearing this, "Watch out for a while, if you find anything wrong, go and grab the person immediately!"

……

"You...how do you know him!"

On the other side, Mr. Lu was also surprised.

He looked at Li Yan, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.

Li Yan said calmly, "I don't have such a big face. Senior Shen just saw injustice and drew his sword to help."

Fuck you!

Mr. Lu cursed in his heart.

This kind of ruthless guy will still drink even if you die in front of him.

There must be another reason for inviting him to come out.

Of course, seeing that Li Yan refused to say anything, he did not ask any more questions, but shook his head and said, "Don't be complacent. If no one dies in the confrontation between the two sides, it will be fine. If either side dies, it will be a disaster."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid you will have to bear the consequences."

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean, senior?"

It turns out that I don’t know anything!
After Li Yan asked this, Lu Gongfeng became even more certain that the reason he was able to invite Shen Sanyou must be due to the connections of other people.

But seeing the potential and connections shown by Li Yan's side, his attitude obviously improved, and he said in a deep voice: "There are some old grudges between these two factions."

"The Shangshan Dharma lineage originated from the ancient Qin secret blessing."

"The Records of the Grand Historian - Book of Fengshan records that during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, officials in charge of praying had secret prayers. If there were disasters or auspicious signs, they would pray that the temple would be transferred to the lower level..."

"Later, the Han Emperor summoned all the former Qin officials to worship the gods, and restored the positions of Tai Zhu and Tai Zai, following the old rituals. He ordered the officials to build a shrine to Chi You in Chang'an. The Liang witches worshipped the heaven and the earth... The Jin witches worshipped the Five Emperors, the Lord of the East, the Lord of the Clouds, and the God of Destiny... The Qin witches worshipped the Lord of the She and the God of War... The Jing witches worshipped the lower hall, the God of War, and the God of Destiny..."

"In short, the status of the Secret Blessing at that time was no less than that of the Taixuan Orthodox Church today, and it may even be better than that."

"You also know what happened later. Because of the disaster of Fang Xian Dao, many secret priests were involved and affected. The Xuanmen Orthodox Sect also gradually rose."

"Some of the Qin Palace's secret priests have hidden themselves in the mountains and forests, becoming a hidden lineage. They no longer participate in disputes between the martial arts world and the Xuanmen sect, and call themselves the Dark Sect."

"They will send out people to travel around Shenzhou and only select those with amazing talents to teach them the secret method. Shen Sanyou, the Night Crying Man, is one of the chosen ones."

"And the Shangshan lineage obtained the Qin Palace secret book and also practiced the secret blessing method, mixed with many later methods, and also called themselves orthodox."

"The two sides have had many frictions in history due to disputes over orthodoxy. Although the Taixuan Orthodox Church has mediated and no longer has bloodshed, the resentment has been accumulating for a long time."

"One friction could reignite the flames of war in the Xuan Sect."

"There will be countless casualties. Can you bear the consequences of such a huge loss?!"

So this is still happening?
Li Yan was a little surprised and frowned.

I thought Shen Sanyou was just a strange man in the market, but I didn't expect he had this kind of relationship. I guess Luo Mingzi didn't expect that Liu Wenchen, such a despicable man, could ask the disciples of Shangshan lineage to help him.

It seems that this fight has gotten a little out of control...

…………

Regardless of everyone's thoughts, murderous intent was already rising in the ruins.

Shen Sanyou also has excellent kung fu skills. Although it is a niche school and his roots are unclear, it is obvious that he has reached the peak of dark energy.

He staggered, then with a burst of strength, he easily jumped onto the broken wall, carrying a huge soul-calling banner in the wind and snow, looking at the opposite side leisurely, and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this the little follower behind Yue Fa Chong?"

"You Shangshan are going backwards. You serve the King of Chang'an and have some status. How come you can even use this despicable Fire Bear Gang at will?"

Seeing that it was Ye Kulang who showed up, the disciple from Shangshan lineage was already on high alert. After a slight hesitation, he lifted his hat and threw it aside.

The purpose of wearing this thing was to conceal one's identity.

But the situation is already like this, there is no need to hide.

Under the bamboo hat was a handsome young man with a straight figure, a slightly raised chin, and a hint of nobility.

Hearing Shen Sanyou's words, he sneered, "Same here, you seem to be living in seclusion in the city, but you can't stand the loneliness and come out again, right?"

As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head, his eyes became cold, and at the same time he bowed and said, "Shangshan, Luo Faqing!"

"Besides, I'm not some little follower!"

Before he finished speaking, he jumped backwards and at the same time pulled out six magic flags from the bag on his back. He stepped on the Gang Step, practiced magic spells, and inserted the flags around him with bangs.

And those French flags were actually inserted upside down!

"Inverted French flag?"

Although Li Yan's vision was blocked by the wind and snow, he could still smell the breath and asked in surprise, "What kind of method is this?"

Lu Gongfeng's face was solemn. "The upside-down flag and the inverted talisman are the characteristics of the Shangshan Dharma lineage. It means reversing yin and yang, and is very fierce."

"That's it. Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Li Yan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect there was such a method.

Sure enough, like the Xuanmen and the Wulin, one can learn a lot by seeing many things.

Just as Lu Gongfeng said, Shangshan's method is to reverse yin and yang. When the magic flag is inserted, the evil energy of the earth veins will rise.

Thick fog quickly formed within ten meters around it, and because of the pitch-black sky, it became dark and deep.

Li Yan's magical powers were disturbed and he couldn't smell what was happening inside.

"Connect the earth tent and control the ghosts and gods!"

Wang Daoxuan’s eyes widened and he cried out in surprise.

Lu Gongfeng had just seen Wang Daoxuan fight, and he no longer looked down on him. He nodded and said, "Daoyou is indeed very knowledgeable. The Shangshan lineage has learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses over the years and has indeed come up with many powerful methods."

Seeing Li Yan's doubts, Wang Daoxuan explained, "The earth tent is to artificially change the situation of the earth veins to form a place where the innate evil spirits gather, like an earth vein curtain, blessing the altar." "Although it is not long-lasting, it can allow people to use some powerful spells. For example, this ghost and god summoning is to summon evil ghosts and gods, which ordinary altars cannot suppress..."

In fact, he still had something to say.

If he could obtain the technique of connecting the earth tent, the power of his "Seven Arrows Secret Spell" would be greatly increased.

Sure enough, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

Dark fog rolled in, and Li Yan could smell three terrifying cold auras rising, like the statues in Taoist temples, extraordinary in aura and each with its own characteristics.

One is murderous and cold, one is covered in blood, and one is dark and obscure. They don't look like good people.

Lu Gongfeng said solemnly: "I heard that the Shangshan lineage suppressed the evil gods everywhere, but did not kill them, but recruited them all, and called them the Ghost God Camp."

"Although it is from the lower altar, its power is indeed not small."

Li Yan frowned, "I've gone the wrong way..."

Lu Gongfeng sighed, "But it works. In recent years, the reputation of the Shangshan lineage has grown day by day. Most of the disciples who come down from the mountain serve the royal family and high-ranking officials. They use their power to develop and their strength is increasing day by day."

"To be honest, let alone our side sect, even some of the Dharma lineages are somewhat envious..."

On the field, Shen Sanyou felt the terrifying murderous intent coming from the opposite side, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, he laughed and said, "Is this the method you came up with? It's ridiculous!"

Luo Faqing, who was in the mist, seemed to be angered as well:
"See how you laugh later!"

After saying this, he waved the French flag and suddenly a strong wind blew around him.

Different from ordinary ghost soldiers, these obscene ghosts and gods all have supernatural powers. They appeared around Shen Sanyou in almost an instant.

The three-headed ghost has different magical powers.

The one with the most murderous intention gathered his evil spirits and transformed them into an invisible curse sword, which he stabbed directly at Shen Sanyou's forehead, intending to destroy his three souls and seven spirits...

The bloody one stirred up the cold wind, howled like ghosts and wolves, and tried to defile the soul-calling pennant on Shen Sanyou's shoulder...

And that dark and gloomy aura gathered evil spirits, and frost visible to the naked eye rose from the ground, quickly covering the broken walls, as if to freeze Shen Sanyou's body...

When Lu Gongsheng saw this, his eyelids twitched.

He knew that if he encountered this method, he would have no choice but to wait for death.

Ordinary altars and protective talismans are simply unable to stop these ghosts and gods.

Of course, ordinary people can’t see these things at all. They just feel that the wind and snow suddenly increase in strength and blow towards them, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

Ring ring ring!
Just then, the bell suddenly rang.

It was Shen Sanyou who was making strange hand gestures with his left hand, holding a soul-calming bell on his middle finger and shaking it left and right.

The ringing sound was clear and continued to spread outwards, like ripples, blocking the invasion of the three-headed ghost.

At the same time, Shen Sanyou also stood up, the soul-calling flags fluttered, and the funeral songs were desolate and mournful, echoing through the snowy night.

"As long as the sun and moon are open, there will be decline after prosperity, there will be death after life, impermanence has come and all worldly affairs are thrown away~"

"In the second opening of the underworld, the dead should not miss their hometown, and their children should not be sad. There are no thousand-year-old trees in the mountains, and there are no thousand-year-old men in the world~"

The soul-calling flags swayed, the evil spirits howled, and a vortex formed.

The funeral song is mournful and seems to carry a magical power that makes everyone who hears it feel lost.

Shen Sanyou waved the soul-calling flag in the strong wind, which looked like rowing in the waves or guiding the way in the underworld. It was desolate and sad, and in the end it even had a hint of ancient charm.

Although I don’t understand its meaning, I can feel the passing of ancient times…

Li Yan's face was solemn and his eyelids were twitching.

He could smell that as Shen Sanyou cast the spell, some invisible force was rising up, like a quagmire, dragging the three-headed ghost and gradually sinking into the ground.

This method is somewhat similar to the underworld arresting people...

After a while, the wind stopped and the singing stopped with it.

puff!
On Luo Faqing's side, the altar and flags were all shattered. He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. His face was pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Crying Man, crying to the sky, the earth, and the ghosts and gods, is indeed extraordinary."

"But don't be complacent. I can only subdue three-headed ghosts. Brother's method is far better than mine. It's my lack of Taoism that makes me lose my magic!"

"Stupid, don't you understand?"

Shen Sanyou raised his eyebrows and shook his head:
"You've gone the wrong way!"

"Shangshan wanted to join the orthodox religion, but he didn't know that the strength of orthodox religion lies in warding off disasters. In ancient times, ghosts and gods were rampant, and the human race wanted peace, so the Xuanmen came into the world to predict, avoid disasters, and ward off disasters."

"Witches, priests, and Taoist priests have been worshipped by the royal families for this reason. Today, the laws and rituals are becoming more and more strict."

"The era of the Qin Palace's secret priests has long passed. You want to join the orthodox religion, but you only seek to use magic to hurt people. You have magic but no moral principles, and sooner or later something bad will happen!"

"Do you know why Taixuan Orthodox Church is so powerful?"

"Tai Xuan Law: You are not allowed to worship evil spirits, you are not allowed to use ghosts and gods to deceive people, and you are not allowed to use the power of ghosts and gods to deceive people. Those who violate the law will be killed!"

"You guys are still far from it, hahahaha..."

After that, he picked up the soul-calling banner, strode out of the ruins, and greeted him nonchalantly, "Little brother Li, don't forget the wine I gave you."

Li Yanang clasped his fists and said, "After this, I will not return to Pingkangfang or Hua'e Tower until I am drunk!"

“Open, hahaha…”

Shen Sanyou ignored everyone, picked up the soul-calling banner, and disappeared in the wind and snow with a smile.

In the ruins behind him, Luo Faqing was filled with grief and anger. He spat out blood three times. He could no longer bear it and fainted on the ground.

The members of the Fire Bear Gang hurried forward and carried him into the tent.

"What a mysterious person..."

Tie Shigu, the head of the Foot Guild, couldn't help but praise him, and then asked curiously, "Little brother, where is your second helper?"

Li Yan was a little speechless, "The person hasn't arrived yet."

Then he looked at Lu Gongfeng and said, "That senior is called 'Ying', have you ever heard of him, Senior Lu?"

Li Yan originally thought that Shen Sanyou was so famous, so his "shadow" must be good too. However, Lu Gongfeng frowned and shook his head, saying, "I've never heard of him."

"But the warrior Wuming must be an incredible master of the mysterious sect..."

As he was speaking, a man suddenly ran over in the snowstorm, covered in blood. He staggered and fell in front of Xiong Baodong, his eyes blank and he said:
"Ghosts, ghosts, they are all dead, all dead..."

Li Yan frowned. Shen Sanyou had just said that "Shadow" had been attacked and was killing people.

It looks like he doesn't want to let anyone go.

What a murderous nature!
But why hasn’t he come yet?
After hearing this, Xiong Baodong's face turned ugly. He turned his head and looked behind him, "Who will play the third game?"

Although this time it was Liu Wenchen's business, in order to fight the Five Elements, he also brought a group of evil monks in the gang. He could not just admit defeat, even if he lost the battle.

Who would have thought, perhaps because they had seen how powerful Shen Sanyou was, and when they heard that there was another person with a more murderous intent, the evil sorcerers all turned their heads and pretended not to hear.

"You are a coward, all of you are trash!"

Xiong Baodong was a domineering and vicious person by nature. He became angry when he saw this. He rolled his eyes and shouted, "The third match, hurry up, who's going to go up?"

Tie Shigu sneered, "Why are you so anxious? Anyway, none of you dare to go on stage, so why the hell are you fighting?"

"Xiong, don't wait for someone to come. Why don't you just admit defeat?"
