Chapter 176 The Golden Belt of Murder and Arson
The Daluo Dharmakaya can devour the blessings of heaven and earth.

After absorbing the treasures from heaven and earth several times, the power can be roughly divided into two types: one is to repair the defects of the Dharma body, and the other is to increase strength.

But now this power is completely different...

In the Dantian, the Daluo Dharma body slowly floats.

After absorbing good fortune several times, the current Daluo Dharma body not only has clear facial features, exactly the same as Li Yan, but its texture has also become ceramic-like, emitting a glass-like luster.

Because he entered the Dao by beating drums during the day, and used his Dharma body to repair his internal injuries time and time again, the surface was covered with cracks, like cracked porcelain.

This power is light golden in color.

After being absorbed by the Daluo Dharmakaya, it neither repaired the damage nor increased its strength. Instead, it quickly gathered in the left palm of the statue.

On the left palm of the statue, a mark is left by the hook, and a chain extends from it, wrapping around the arm, representing the magical power of the underworld to grab souls.

This golden power actually merged directly into the Soul-Catching Rope and spread outward, dyeing the Soul-Catching Rope light gold.

Li Yan could sense that the Soul-Catching Rope had increased in both strength and length, reaching three feet.

This thing can actually enhance supernatural powers!
Li Yan was both surprised and happy.

Supernatural powers are related to Taoism.

After inheriting the Soul-Catching Rope, it could only extend one foot from the palm of his hand. Later, after building a building and practicing day and night, it could only reach more than two feet.

Now that it has reached three feet, the attack effect is completely different.

When dealing with experts, you also have a winning trump card.

Unfortunately, this power was very small and disappeared completely in a blink of an eye.

Li Yan felt regretful and carefully observed the object in his hand.

People in Chu worshipped the phoenix, especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Many phoenix decorations were unearthed, such as "Double Linked Phoenixes", "Tiger-Seat Phoenix Drum", "Phoenix, Dragon and Tiger Embroidered Luo Zen Robe", etc., in various shapes and forms.

The one in his hand should be a folk craft, the style is a bit rough, and it feels like a token when held in the hand, and is somewhat similar to the Divine Tiger Order.

Perhaps due to its age, many of the lines have become blurred, half of it is twisted, and the texture is impure.

Perhaps, it was made by some folk sect...

Seeing Li Yan looking at it carefully, Yuan Ba ​​felt uneasy.

He has a bad temper and speaks incoherently. All his talk about the ancient artifact is just bragging, and he said it was just something he got by chance when he was robbing a dilapidated temple.

Although it had some power to suppress evil, it has been damaged.

Its greatest value today is that it is made of pure gold, but compared with the quota for opening a cellar at Huashan, it is simply not worth mentioning.

There are some things that money can no longer buy.

I don't know if I can fool around...

Li Yan looked for a while and turned his head to look behind him.

Manager Wan nodded slightly, indicating that he should make his own decision.

"Brother Yuan, you're welcome."

Li Yan laughed and put the phoenix gold ornaments into his arms.

Yuan Ba ​​suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, bowed, and prepared to leave.

Li Yan quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Yuan, I am very interested in this item. Can you tell me where you got it from?"

What he was interested in was naturally the mysterious power within it.

Seeing that he was straightforward, Yuan Ba ​​did not hide anything and shook his head and said, "This item was obtained in the mountains near the ancient Yunmeng Lake."

"Yunmeng?"

Li Yan frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

In ancient times, Yunmeng was located in the land of Jingchu, where large lakes gathered. It was said to be the hunting ground of the King of Chu. After many changes, most of the area had become land by the Tang and Song dynasties.

People nowadays can only look at Dongting Lake and imagine the magnificent and dreamy Yunmeng Lake in ancient times.

This Phoenix Golden Token is a magical weapon that has been transformed into a heavenly treasure. This is the first time I have seen it, and I don’t know what secrets it hides...

Just then, there was a loud commotion in the distance.

"what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Didn't you see my clothes are burning?"

"Compensate!"

"Yes, pay the money!"

Li Yan looked up and saw that Yuan Ba's team was in trouble.

Several men, laughing and joking on purpose, passed under the incense dragon. They were dressed gorgeously, and their clothes were all made of silk, which were immediately burned with many small holes by the fallen incense ashes.

At this moment, the man who was grabbing the dragon dance was refusing to give in, cursing and using foul language.

"Looking for trouble, huh?"

The man dancing the dragon also had a bad temper. He threw away the bamboo pole in his hand, grabbed one of the men and slapped him several times.

"Hitting someone! Beating someone!"

Those guys were also scoundrels. Some of them went up to tear the things apart, some rolled on the ground, and some shouted loudly.

Someone is looking for trouble!

Li Yan noticed something strange at first glance.

These guys are clearly here to cause trouble.

Where did they get the courage?
Sure enough, this action angered Master Yuan Ba ​​and his apprentice.

The Taoist sorcerer from Hunan and Chu was polite in his actions, but he had a hot temper and rushed forward immediately.

They also attacked ruthlessly, using their hidden strength and with a few bangs, they kicked all the men seven or eight meters away.

Of course, they didn't kill him.

The men just felt pain but suffered no internal injuries.

But this move is like poking a hornet.

"Killing, killing!"

"These guys are so domineering!"

Among the onlookers, someone immediately started to fan the flames.

When Master Yuan Ba ​​and his disciples saw this, their expressions changed.

After all, they are outsiders, and the court's supervision over the Xuanmen is becoming increasingly strict. Once things get out of hand, it may not end well.

"Back off first!"

Master Yuan Bana glanced to the north, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he told everyone to pause the performance and move to the side.

But there was a huge team coming here.

This team's divine tower is the largest, but it is a trick.

Many places are hollow, such as the temple pillars, which are made of wooden boards painted red. They look gorgeous but a bit loose.

Even so, it's visually quite stunning.

The team they raised their heads to was at least a hundred strong, all of them were wearing maroon gowns with half of their arms exposed, with fierce looks on their faces and sticks stuck on their waists.

It doesn't look like they are lifting a building, but more like they are about to fight.

The witch drum band behind had even more people, with bare upper bodies, wearing hideous Nuo masks on their heads, beating drums as they marched forward, like a hundred ghosts parading at night.

Although they didn't have any special skills, their large number and various costumes made them look quite impressive and they were very eye-catching on the whole street.

It’s the Fire Bear Gang!
Yuan Ba ​​was annoyed and cursed a few times, then said: "Master, it must be these guys who are causing trouble, let's teach them a lesson!"

"What lesson?"

The old man snorted, "Today is the Lantern Festival, there are so many people here, and you still want to act so arrogantly? You are asking for your life!"

"Also, look who that is!" Yuan Ba ​​looked and saw a few strange-looking sorcerers standing in the team carrying the building in front.

There was a monk with strong shoulders and a big waist, holding a shovel in his hand, a string of bone beads hanging around his neck, a ferocious face, and a hideous scar passing through his right eye.

His right eyeball was a terrifying white.

There was also an old Taoist priest who was wearing a patchwork robe, carrying a large gourd on his back and a short sword on his waist, looking out of place.

What caught Yuan Ba's attention was an old woman who looked quite old. She was wearing a black robe, had white hair, a wrinkled face, and had leather bags of various sizes hanging around her waist.

"It's that old witch 'Silver Flower Snake'!"

When Yuan Ba ​​saw this, his eyes suddenly became uncertain, "Why did she come to Chang'an?"

"Not just her."

Master Yuan Ba ​​said coldly: "Those guys are not good people either. They have harmed many people in private. It can only be said that the Law Enforcement Hall has not caught them."

"The team in front of us is a gang from Chang'an City. These guys must want to use their power to get a spot, so they are in collusion with each other."

"They sent people to cause trouble, probably because they don't want to conflict with us. Just get out of the way and ignore them."

Although Yuan Ba ​​was annoyed, he did not object.

His master guessed correctly. Chang'an City was in turmoil some time ago, and no one thought that the biggest beneficiary would be the Fire Bear Gang.

Bai Ruoxu's identity as a Maitreya follower was exposed, and the entire pawnbroker business in Chang'an was swept up, and some government officials took advantage of it to swallow up all the pawnbroker businesses...

Tie Feng, the son of Tie Shigu, was also implicated because of his close friendship with Bai Ruoxu. His savings of many years were wiped out and he disappeared sadly...

Feng Feiyan's Fenglai Inn was also not spared...

Some people are unlucky, while others are naturally enjoying a good meal.

Those officials who used to be brothers in the yamen all turned into ferocious beasts, making a lot of money and having a prosperous year.

The Five Elements' vitality was severely damaged and they were no match for the Fire Bear Gang.

The new president of the Foot Guild went to the Fire Bear Gang’s base the day after Tie Shigu left and became friends with Xiong Baodong.

After all, many of the pawnshop's assets were hot potatoes, and the officials in Chang'an wanted to sell them, but Xiong Baodong got them all at a low price.

It can be said that during this turmoil, the Fire Bear Gang hid in the back and reaped the benefits, and their strength increased dramatically.

The five elements that were at odds with him also fell apart.

This was just like pie falling from the sky, and Xiong Baodong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Some time ago, there was even a grand banquet that lasted for more than ten days to celebrate.

There’s more good news.

The opening of Huashan's cellar also attracted many unorthodox masters.

They had a bad reputation and originally wanted to form a team to grab a spot, but because of the Maitreya incident, the Duwei Division and the Law Enforcement Hall were arresting people everywhere.

These guys felt insecure, so they found Xiong Baodong, and the two sides hit it off and formed a team together.

With the help of these unscrupulous masters, Xiong Baodong became more ambitious, so before the conference, he seized the leverage over many teams to threaten them.

Now, there are ten Dharma flags hanging on the shrine!

You know, there are only twenty-four teams in total.

And behind those unorthodox sorcerers was the team leader Xiong Baodong.

Xiong Baodong was very proud at this moment. He was originally huge in size, and wearing a black leather coat, he looked like a black bear walking with an imposing and domineering aura.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing the Xiangchu team retreat, he immediately laughed and said to the warlocks: "The number of places is limited, but it is very valuable. Everyone, how about we get a few more?"

He is now very powerful and has recruited many masters from other sects. In addition, he has established a connection with the Li family this time, so he no longer needs to care about the face of the Shangshan Sect.

As for the unorthodox sorcerers on the Shanzhou Road, he didn't even take them seriously.

"no need."

The old woman in black clothes and white hair said coldly: "That pair of master and apprentice are from Xiangchu. They have a deep relationship with Meishan Dharma. It's just a quota. It's not enough to provoke Meishan."

Xiong Baodong smiled and said, "Alright, there are enough places for today anyway, let's hand it over to the Taoist priests in the City God Temple and take you to Hua'e Tower for leisure!"

"Hahaha."

The one-eyed monk immediately laughed, stroking his bald head, his eyes gleaming with lust, "Boss Xiong, I won't be polite then."

Xiong Baodong smiled slightly, "Master Xiaoyue, you can have fun, but there is one thing we must make clear. Behind the Hua'e Tower is a nobleman from the capital. Don't kill him, or you will be in a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry, I will keep it to myself."

The big monk understood what he meant and was obviously impatient.

The two teams met, and the people from the Fire Bear Gang rushed around recklessly, pushing away the man from the Xiangchu team who was carrying the stairs, which made Master and Apprentice Yuan Ba ​​so angry that his eyes were blazing with anger.

But they had other important things to do and didn't want to cause trouble, so they could only swallow their anger.

Another person who doesn't want to cause trouble is Shopkeeper Wan.

Seeing the Fire Bear Gang rushing towards them, he sighed and quickly ordered the team to move aside.

Li Yan glanced at everyone and said nothing.

He doesn't care, but others do.

Manager Wan still has to stay in Xianyang and Chang'an City, and he has a group of apprentices and disciples under him, all of whom are hard-working craftsmen.

The same was true for Huayin's Zuo Family Band and Xianyang Drum Band. Even Guo Luquan lowered his head, and some of the men who were carrying the luggage even had fear in their eyes.

Whether you want to fight for your dignity depends on the situation.

If they get into trouble today and lose their places, it would be fine, but they will definitely be retaliated by the Fire Bear Gang afterwards.

Even if he knew magic, how could he deal with so many people? Moreover, the other party had hired sorcerers who were better at fighting.

However, when they wanted to retreat, others would not let them go.

When Xiong Baodong saw Li Yan in the crowd, the bad memories of that night of the fight came to his mind again, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Go, get that old devil's flag!"

At the command, several men from the Fire Bear Gang immediately stepped out of the crowd and walked towards Manager Wan in a swagger.

They were also very arrogant today. They just raised their chins and cursed: "Old man, be smart and hand over the flag!"

Manager Wan was so angry that his face turned red. He said in a deep voice: "Go tell Xiong Baodong that I am the elder of the craftsman sect, and ask him to give me some face..."

"You old thing, do you still want to save face?"

The leading man laughed strangely and said sarcastically, "Don't be shameless. We still have to go drink after we're done. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make you lose face tonight!"

On the left is an old man, on the right is an old bastard. Even a clay man would have a temper, not to mention that Shopkeeper Wan is a man of the underworld. His eyes immediately became sinister: "You're looking for a fight!"

The two disciples behind him immediately stepped forward, grabbed those men, slapped them a few times, then threw them to the ground and beat them up with punches and kicks.

These thugs from the Fire Bear Gang can usually only bully ordinary people and poor people in the martial arts world. When they meet a real martial artist, they are no match at all.

Of course, Manager Wan didn't want to make too big a fuss, so these gang members were just knocked unconscious.

"Yo ho!"

Xiong Baodong was a domineering person by nature. Seeing this situation, he did not get angry but laughed instead. He waved his hand and the team stopped immediately, surrounding Li Yan and the others.

"It's a fight, it's a fight!"

Although Zhuque Street is not small, such a big commotion has already attracted a lot of attention and immediately attracted a large number of people to watch.

"What are you doing!"

There were still men from the Duwei Division patrolling on Suzaku Street. They rode over on horseback and shouted, blocking the two teams.

The imminent conflict was prevented.

But when Li Yan saw it, he secretly thought it was not good.

This captain, the leader of the black cavalry,
It was the centurion Feng Han who broke into his house that day!
