Knife splashing

Chapter 201 The Use of Gods and Demons
Under the moonlight, the foxes wailed, and all the animals followed suit.

This situation is truly shocking.

Li Yan and others watched from the side, remaining silent for a long time.

Finally, this special funeral came to an end.

Following the old fox's cry, cold winds blew violently around, ghost lights floated back and forth, fog covered the area, and even the moonlight seemed to become hazy.

The surrounding wild animals scattered as if they had been pardoned.

Their spiritual power is not enough yet, they only came here under the intimidation of the ghost fox. When the matter is over, they will naturally flee from this place quickly.

The mist dissipated, and the fox fairy's body disappeared without a trace.

Li Yan and others knew that the corpses must have been hidden somewhere by these foxes to avoid being destroyed.

After all, fox fairy skin must be the material for making magical tools.

At the same time, foxes big and small also scattered away.

“Is this…is this the end?”

Sharifei scratched his head, feeling a little disappointed.

However, just as he finished his words, the ghost fox appeared again, standing on the platform, looked at them, then jumped down and headed southeast.

But every few steps, he would stop and turn his head to look.

"This is for us to follow, let's go!"

Li Yan became interested and followed with everyone.

Just as Wang Daoxuan said, they headed southeast, climbed the steep slope, and indeed found something strange on the mountainside.

There is a small mound here, surrounded by towering trees with tree roots protruding from the ground. There are some collapsed stone men and horses around, which are mottled and blurred and covered with moss.

And in the center of the mound, there was a dark hole.

“There is indeed a tomb!”

Wang Daoxuan whispered, "This place is a Feng Shui treasure land. Foxes like to live in tombs. Someone must have been buried here, and the fox fairy used it as a cave."

"Why did you bring us here?"

Sharifei asked, and then his eyes lit up, "Could it be that there are gold and silver treasures in the cave, and they want to give them to us?"

As they were talking, the old ghost fox had arrived at the cave entrance. It kept turning its head to look around, and spoke in the upper language with a "cluck, cluck, cluck" sound.

After hearing this, Lu San's eyes were a little dull, but he still gritted his teeth and followed him into the cave.

Li Yan and others were curious and followed closely.

The area of ​​this fox fairy cave is quite large. It must be because the fox dug the grave, and the wood grew and damaged it, exposing the entire tomb passage.

There are thick bricks and stones on both sides of the cave entrance.

When everyone entered, they found that it was indeed a tomb chamber. The surroundings were very clean and all the things had been moved away.

It was empty and no information about the ancient tomb could be found.

There was only a large coffin in the center of the tomb.

The coffin was very old, and even though it was made of the finest golden nanmu wood and decorated with gorgeous lacquer, it was already somewhat decayed.

There was a big hole above the coffin lid.

There was a faint sound of sobbing coming from inside.

When Li Yan heard it, he immediately understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "Brother Lu, your chance has come. Why don't you step forward?"

Lu San scratched his head, walked forward, and carefully took out a little white fox from the hole in the coffin.

The little fox was not big, and its body was still trembling, but it was very smart. It lay in his arms without fear. Instead, it opened its big, bright black eyes and looked at the old fox next to it while whimpering.

“Clack, clack, clack…”

The old ghost fox said a few words in the upper language, and without wanting to look at the little fox, he jumped out of the cave and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Congratulations, Brother Lu."

Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard and smiled, "This is the son of a fox fairy. He has extraordinary spirituality. If we cultivate him well, he will definitely be a great help in the future."

Lu San held the little fox in his arms, and his innocent smile appeared on his face again, "I like this little thing very much."

As he spoke, he looked outside the cave, his expression becoming serious: "Just now the old ghost fox told me a piece of news. In the distant mountains and forests, someone is wantonly capturing monsters and spirits in the mountains, and there is an even more ominous aura spreading."

"They are afraid and are heading north, probably to the Qinling Mountains. The journey is too long and they can't take care of this little guy."

"Something big must have happened in this forest..."

…………

The sound of birds singing and the sunshine outside the window made Li Yan slowly open his eyes.

He stretched himself, put on his clothes, and went to the window.

The days of rain have stopped, the sky has cleared up, the sky is blue with white clouds, and the sun is shining, making the entire ancient town full of vitality.

I was busy all night last night and only returned to the inn when it was almost dawn.

He was a little tired and slept until almost noon.

Li Yan casually picked up the teapot on the table and drank a few glasses of water. Then he took out the certificate and frowned as he checked it.

As expected, he was rewarded for suppressing that trace of evil spirit.

He could feel that there were seven auras swirling inside the certificate at this moment.

The six icy paths are the orders of the Yin soldiers. Every time one is used, one can recruit a battalion of five hundred Yin soldiers, and six paths means three thousand soldiers.

These ghost soldiers are the regular soldiers of the underworld, and are far from being comparable to any rogue soldiers. According to the "Ghost Law", they are comparable to the Xuanmen Lu soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

And these are the most common troops.

There once was a powerful living ghost messenger who could summon ghost generals.

It should be the terrifying existence that happened last night.

Even with his magical powers, he couldn't even smell the other person's breath.

There is another one that is even more amazing.

Although it is a Yin evil, it is a higher level of power.

According to the underworld, this is the evil spirit.

If it hadn't been hidden in the certificate, he wouldn't have been able to detect it with his supernatural powers.

It’s the reward for last night’s mission!
Li Yan felt it carefully, this power gave him a very mysterious feeling. Although it was a sinister aura, it was not chilling at all. Instead, it made people feel refreshed and comfortable.

To be able to be rewarded by the underworld, this aura is definitely not simple.

Li Yan now faces two choices.

One is to integrate it into magical weapons, such as the Divine Tiger Order. With this aura, the power of the magical weapon will definitely increase.

The second is to integrate into the Daluo Dharmakaya.

His Daluo Dharma body has been repaired. Whether it is improving the quality of the Dharma body or igniting the soul fire, it is a good thing.

But the nature of this good fortune is to repair the Dharma body, so it will be useless and a good thing will be wasted.

Just like when I was at the mass grave, I absorbed a lot of blessings from the Mountain Tai Sui, but after I repaired my Dharma body, no matter how much I absorbed, it was of no use.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and decided to let the Daluo Dharma Body absorb it.

After all, this thing is the foundation of everything he has now.

Even if it means wasting an opportunity, we must find out what effect this reward from the underworld will have on our Dharma body.

Thinking of this, he immediately held the certificate and sank his mind into his dantian.

The Daluo Dharmakaya was in operation, and a bone-chilling breath immediately flowed along the Goutiao and was absorbed by the Daluo Dharmakaya.

Inside the Dantian, the Daluo Dharma body was quickly covered with white frost.

There is a door!

There was a hint of surprise in Li Yan's eyes.

This evil spirit is indeed not simple!
He could feel that there was some good fortune that could repair his Dharma body, but more of it would flow towards the Soul-Catching Rope.

It actually has two functions!

No wonder, this thing comes from the underworld and can enhance the power of magical weapons. To some extent, isn’t the Soul-Catching Rope also a magical weapon?
Wow!
The length of the soul-catching rope suddenly increased by three feet, reaching more than two meters.

This length is comparable to that of an ordinary spear.

The true lethality of the Soul-Catching Spell also became apparent.

As far as close combat is concerned, even Hua Jin is no match for him!

This is the second aura that can enhance the Soul-Catching Rope. There is also the previous Chu Wu Token.

Li Yan had a vague feeling that the nature of the two powers was different, but there might be some connection between them.

He was in a very good mood. He got up and went out, ready to call everyone for dinner and discuss leaving Shangjin City.

Wow!
As soon as I knocked on Sharifei's door, I saw that the old man looked unnatural, and there was still the smell of gunpowder residue on the table.

"Uncle Sha, this is really not the right place."

Li Yan was somewhat speechless and said, "Let's settle down and find a secluded place. It doesn't matter if you make a lot of noise."

"hey-hey…"

Sharifei was thick-skinned, so why would he care about this? He rolled his eyes and changed the subject, whispering, "Brother Yan, I thought about it last night, and the one who killed the fox fairy was most likely that kid Bai Ruoxu."

"This guy has some new stuff in his hands, he's trying to get the coal, maybe he knows the formula..."

"Not urgent!"

Li Yan's face was solemn, and he shook his head slightly, "This matter is definitely not that simple. Let's not get involved in it for now, and let the Duwei Division test this muddy water first."

"If we get too involved, we'll become someone else's target."

"makes sense."

Sharifei immediately understood and said no more about it.

Li Yan knocked on Lu San's door again, only to find that the boy had already woken up. He got some raw meat and goat's milk from somewhere and was teasing the little white fox.

Li Yan smiled slightly and wanted to step forward.

Unfortunately, the little thing was very afraid of him and went straight into Lu San's arms, staring at him with only its eyes exposed.

Li Yan laughed in silence, but did not force it. After reminding Lu San to pack up, he left.

As soon as I walked out of the corridor, I saw Wang Daoxuan, who was wearing a neat Taoist robe, holding a whisk and carrying a package. It was obvious that he was about to go out.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Go see Old Liu."

When Li Yan heard this, he immediately understood.

Old Liu was the coroner who performed the autopsy yesterday.

Wang Daoxuan felt sorry for him when he saw that he was being invaded by the poisonous energy of the corpse, so he told him when he left that he would perform a ritual for him and teach him some secret techniques.

Of course, everything is free.

Li Yan naturally wouldn't think it was meddling. After all, Wang Daoxuan was a kind-hearted person. He had helped him answer his questions and resolve his doubts without asking for any money.

"Let's go, I'll go and take a look too."

Li Yan's heart moved, and he immediately followed Wang Daoxuan away.

Shangjin City is not big. The two men left the inn and turned into an alley after walking a few steps. After asking people several times, they finally found where Old Liu lived.

Being a coroner is a menial job and everyone is somewhat taboo about it. Plus, Old Liu is not a true Taoist, so naturally he lives a miserable life.

His home was at the deepest part of the alley, close to the edge of the city.

Not only are the houses in tatters, but the drainage is also poor.

Wang Daoxuan shook his head and pointed at the city wall. "He was already infected with corpse poison and lived in this damp place. Fortunately, he met us. Otherwise, after his death, Old Liu would have turned into a zombie."

Li Yan looked up and saw that the city wall was towering, just covering Old Liu's house. Except for noon, there would probably be no sunlight most of the time.

Boom boom boom!
After knocking on the door, Old Liu took a long time to open the door. His face was pale and covered with cold sweat.

When he saw the two of them, there was obvious surprise in his eyes.

He thought Wang Daoxuan was just talking casually, but he didn't expect him to actually come to his home to treat him, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"Master, please come in quickly."

He limped, his face covered in cold sweat, and smiled bitterly, "My rheumatism is getting worse again, so I'm slow to open the door. Please forgive me, Taoist priest."

Wang Daoxuan's eyes were filled with pity, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I will perform a ritual to help you get rid of the evil spirit, and it should be better."

After saying this, he immediately set about setting up the altar.

There was a wooden table in the courtyard. Although it was tattered, it was sufficient for setting up the altar. With the help of Li Yan, it was completed quickly.

After all, Old Liu was used to seeing corpses. Although he was a little frightened at first, he quickly calmed down and stood respectfully by the side waiting.

At this moment, the sun is shining at noon.

The originally dark and damp courtyard suddenly came alive.

Wang Daoxuan looked at the sky and shook his head, saying, "Even if it was the sunlight at noon that saved you, if it was any later, I would be powerless."

After saying that, he asked Old Liu to find a cool mat and spread it on the ground, and then lie down with his head facing north and his feet facing south.

Light incense and candles, walk on the steps, spit water...

After Wang Daoxuan skillfully activated the altar, he took out a few coins for warding off evil and bringing blessings from his arms and placed them on Old Liu's forehead, limbs, chest and abdomen in turn.

Afterwards, he took out the Golden Money Sword and placed it on the altar. He picked up the Bagua Mirror next to it, pinched the Sun Lord Seal with his hands, and chanted: "Mysterious Qi Demonstrates the Might of Chen Tianjun, Fuhuo Luojun Zhali Suoha, respectfully invite the Sun Palace Sun Yuyi Emperor to send down the spiritual light and command!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan smelled the gathering of hot yang energy.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the courtyard has become brighter.

Wang Daoxuan was fiddling with the Bagua mirror, reflecting the sunlight and illuminating the Money Sword from hilt to tip.

It’s the disaster-avoiding technique of the Xixuan lineage!

A smile appeared on Li Yan's lips.

According to Wang Daoxuan, his Xixuan lineage is best at helping people ward off disasters and pray for blessings, and they have very few techniques used in fighting.

Offensive magic is mostly used to deal with monsters and ghosts.

Before, Wang Daoxuan’s Taoism was not good enough, his magic tools were not very effective, and some of his techniques were simply unusable.

But now, it is obviously no longer the same.

After using the Sun King Technique to consecrate the Money Sword, Wang Daoxuan immediately held the Money Sword, stepped on the Gangqi Steps, walked around the altar, and tapped each of the copper coins on Old Liu's body with the Money Sword.

In an instant, gusts of unpleasant smells of evil and corpse poison came out from the square hole of the coin used to exorcise evil spirits and bring blessings, and the entire courtyard suddenly became smelly.

Li Yan quickly covered his mouth and nose.

As for Old Liu, he felt the money on his body becoming extremely hot. He grimaced in pain, but he didn't dare to move.

But soon, a warm feeling spread throughout my body.

The pain that had tormented him for so long was suddenly easing rapidly.

After the ritual, Old Liu felt much better. He quickly stood up and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. “Thank you, Immortal Master, for your mercy.”

"Hey~ what is this for?"

Wang Daoxuan quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "I helped you to exorcise evil spirits and ward off disasters, and also tempered my magical weapon. We owe each other nothing."

Of course Old Liu knew that these were words of comfort, but he still kept thanking him.

Wang Daoxuan immediately changed the subject when he saw this, and said with a smile: "I can help you with the ritual, but it can't eradicate the root of the problem."

"It's best if you don't do this business anymore. Also, you need to find a way to move out as soon as possible."

Old Liu's face turned bitter. "I have been following my master as a coroner since I was young. Everyone is afraid of me. I can barely make a living and I don't have a wife or children."

"If I don't do this business, I'm afraid I won't even have enough food to eat."

Wang Daoxuan pondered for a moment, "In that case, I will help you arrange it and change the Feng Shui of your house, and then teach you some medicinal wine recipes and protective methods."

"If you encounter a strange corpse in the future, be careful."

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

The old coroner thanked him again.

Li Yan directly took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said, "It's probably not cheap to buy medicinal wine and things to improve Feng Shui. Please accept these, old man."

"This...how can this be possible?" The old coroner quickly declined.

Li Yan directly stuffed the silver into his arms and said, "We are all fellow warriors. It's not a big deal to help you."

"Besides, there are some things I need to ask the seniors for advice on."

The old coroner was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "You go ahead."

Li Yan took out the golden phoenix ornament from his arms and said in a deep voice, "You are also considered a local Xuanmen person. Have you seen this thing?"
