Knife splashing

Chapter 210 Alien Beasts
There are many barbarians in Huguang area.

But the so-called barbarians are also ancient ethnic groups in China.

For example, in the ancient Jingchu area, there were Miao and Man, who were rumored to be descendants of Chiyou and Jiuli. Later, when Yu conquered the Sanmiao, they were listed as one of the four sinners.

For example, in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is mentioned that there is a country called Ba in the southwest. Taihao gave birth to Xianniao, Xianniao gave birth to Chengli, Chengli gave birth to Houzhao, who was the first to become a Ba people.

The "Bandun Man" among the Cubans had participated in the war when King Wu conquered King Zhou and made great contributions. They also joined the war when the Han Dynasty was established and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.

Another important tribe, the "Linjun Man", was destroyed by Qin, which later established the Ba County, with the Ba family as the leader of the barbarians, who married Qin women for generations.

The "Bandun Man" and "Linjun Man" are an important part of the Tujia people today...

Ba and Chu have always been inseparable.

Li Yan came from his previous life, so naturally he didn't care about these things.

He was just a little confused as to how these two groups got together.
You have to know that the Tusi system is still in place today. Every ethnic minority has a Tusi or a Tu official, and their territory is autonomous.

This is what is meant by "Han people do not enter the cave, and barbarians do not leave the border."

Of course, with the development of the times, it is no longer so strict.

When he was in Shangjin City, he bought things from the grocery store run by an old Tujia man. There were many Tujia people living away from home in Yunyang City.

But it is definitely not easy for these two groups to come together.

Li Yan gave a look, and everyone hid more carefully.

The barbarian with disheveled hair and tattoos all over his face was obviously the leader of a group of people. As soon as he walked into the forest, he shouted sternly:
"Bring him up!"

Suddenly, a person was pushed out from the crowd.

The man was dressed very strangely, with a black hunting suit inside and a red Taoist robe embroidered with the Eight Diagrams on the outside.

He is a sorcerer from Meishan Sect!
When everyone saw it, they immediately understood.

This Meishan Sect warlock had a full beard and looked strong. He should be a majestic man, but at the moment he looked extremely embarrassed.

Not only were his clothes disheveled, but his body was also covered in blood. After being pushed out, he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Have you thought about it?"

The barbarian warlock asked with cold eyes.

The man from Meishan Sect did not reply and just spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

"Humph!"

The barbarian sorcerer snorted coldly: "You are from the Meishan lineage, and you can be considered as the descendants of Jiuli. Why are you so stubborn? Could it be that the opening of Meishan during the Song Dynasty has broken your knees?"

"Pooh!"

The Meishan sect sorcerer shouted angrily: "Stop pretending to be so hypocritical, you evil spirits! I will kill you or chop you up if you want!"

At this moment, a Han Chinese holding a sharp blade sighed and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Tian, ​​you are so confused."

"The current imperial court is tyrannical, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are living in misery. We are also Han people, but we have no choice but to hide in the mountains."

"Even with this, the court still won't let us go."

"There is no way out now. If you help us, the Heavenly Saint will be resurrected and come to the world as a god. He will definitely overthrow the tyranny of the imperial court..."

"I bother!"

The Meishan Sect man's mouth was full of blood, and he cursed angrily: "What kind of character do you Tiansheng Sect have? Don't I know it?"

"Those mountain folks hiding in the mountains are in danger of losing their lives every day. They are being exploited by you, even worse than the imperial court. The Tiansheng Sect has now become a den of filth and corruption!"

"I know what you are afraid of."

"The court set up Yunyang Prefecture and treated the mountain people with favors. Anyone can see that. You spread rumors in the mountains, slandered them, and even led riots. You are just afraid of losing your foothold!"

"And you, don't think I don't know that you are the chieftain's subordinates. The unification of China and the transformation of the chieftains into commoners are the general trend. You are just afraid of losing your power!"

"When war breaks out, so many people will be displaced."

"There is a distinction between Han and barbarians, but there is no distinction between good and evil!"

What a man!
When Li Yan saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.

After hearing these words, how could he not understand the cause and effect?

It is still related to the current chaos in Yunyang.

The area of ​​Huguang is not only the heartland of China, but also a major grain-producing province, but the situation is also extremely complicated.

Reforming the native system and taking in the mountain people were all policies of the imperial court.

Only when this place is stable can China be stable.

But now these two policies will undoubtedly affect the interests of many people, and all kinds of chaos will arise as a result.

The Tiansheng Sect and those chieftains have obviously colluded with each other.

From what they said, they want to resurrect Tianshenggong?
Could it be that he wants to bring him back to life?

But listen, it’s not that simple…

At this moment, Lin Yu tugged at his clothes from behind.

Li Yan turned his head and saw that the fat man's eyes were already filled with tears. He was determined and raised his hands and begged in a low voice: "Help!"

Looking at the others, they all nodded seriously.

No matter whether it is Wang Daoxuan, Sha Lifei, or Lu San, although they are all people of the martial arts world and do not want to get too entangled with the court, they are all infected by the righteousness of this man of Meishan Sect.

Li Yan didn't waste any words, nodded slightly, and whispered:
"Wait for the opportunity!"

On the other side, those people were obviously angered by the words of the Meishan Sect man, and kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground.

One of the barbarians picked up his scimitar and said viciously: "This man doesn't know what's good for him, just kill him!"

The leading barbarian warlock hesitated, but nodded.

Li Yan took one look and knew he couldn’t wait any longer.

Although using traps to kill people is the easiest way, in order to save people, you have to show up in advance.

"I'll lure the enemy, and you guys will do guerrilla warfare on the side!"

After giving some instructions, Li Yan jumped out.

"who?!"

Hearing the wind, those people immediately became alert.

But from the dark forest, a young man in black clothes, holding a long sword, with a pale face, jumped out and strode towards him under the moonlight.

Li Yan used the illusion footwork, as if shrinking the ground into an inch, and drew out his long sword with a clang, while saying coldly: "Be sensible and let the man go, so as to avoid getting my blood splattered!"

"Where did this bastard come from!"

Seeing this, a man from the Tiansheng Sect cursed, then jumped out and rushed towards Li Yan.

The others just watched coldly, obviously having great confidence in this man.

This man's Kung Fu was indeed quite good. His feet were as fast as the wind and his body was as swift as thunder. Before he got close to him, he had already shaken his right shoulder and swung out his spear. "Yang Family's Pear Blossom Spear?"

Li Yan's expression remained unchanged and he kept walking.

The Yang Family Pear Blossom Spear has nothing to do with the Yang Family Generals. It was created by Yang Miaozhen, the wife of Li Quan, the leader of the Red Turban Army in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

This spear is very famous. It is sharp when advancing and fast when retreating. It is dangerous, short in length, and as immovable as a mountain. It is widely circulated in the land of Qi and Lu.

This man held the gun with the butt of the gun in his hand, and the gun was very long. His movements were like thunder, and this strike caught the enemy off guard, which was the special move of the pear blossom spear.

Once it is blocked, a rainstorm of pear blossoms will come.

He clearly saw that Li Yan was holding a long sword, and wanted to use his strengths in spearmanship to suppress Li Yan's weakness in weapons, and end the battle within a few moves.

The other party does have some capital and has already stepped into the hidden power.

But it is far from enough to deal with Li Yan!
Facing the terrifying gunshot, Li Yan dodged, burst out the hidden power under his feet, and at the same time moved sideways.

call out!
The sharp gun blade passed three inches from his chest.

But Li Yan had already stepped close to him in an instant.

not good!

The man's scalp tingled and he was about to turn sideways, draw his gun and retreat.

However, it was already too late.

Li Yan swung his sword horizontally, without even looking, and continued walking.

Behind him, half of the man's neck had been cut off, his head hanging on one side, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground.

"We have lots of ideas, let's work together!"

When those people saw it, they roared in anger.

Immediately, five or six people jumped out, some holding knives or swords, and surrounded Li Yan.

They were able to come here to carry out secret missions, and they were obviously carefully selected experts, and most of them had entered the realm of dark energy.

When we are outnumbered, of course we have to adopt an encirclement strategy.

Buzz!
However, before they could take any action, the sound of flapping wings was heard all around them, and dense swarms of poisonous bees swarmed over.

"what--!"

Several people were stung and screamed in pain.

These poisonous bees were bred by the magic gourd. Although they are not spiritual insects and have no magical powers, they have been contaminated with some demonic energy and their venom is quite powerful.

Once stung, even the strongest man can't stand it.

What an encirclement! It's all a joke.

Li Yan naturally would not miss the opportunity. His feet were as fast as the wind, his sword flashed, and he chopped left, slashed sideways, and swept right, killing three people directly.

"They still have people!"

"We'll block it first, hurry up and get the corpse!"

Seeing this, those people also panicked.

There was a barbarian sorcerer who took off the tambourine from his waist and beat it hard while shaking his head and chanting a spell.

The drum beats have a strange rhythm and carry a certain ancient charm.

The swarm of poisonous bees was disturbed and flew up and down in panic.

At the same time, two people protected the leading barbarian warlock and ran hurriedly towards the place where the zombies were buried.

When he arrived, the barbarian sorcerer scattered a handful of yellow talismans, shook the soul-calming bell, stepped on the magic steps, and chanted spells.

So it’s from Xiangxi?
Li Yan frowned slightly and couldn't help feeling regretful.

Perhaps because he met too many masters in Huashan, he was a little too cautious and even used gunpowder traps.

I didn't expect this group of people to be so useless.

If I had known this earlier, I would have just attacked head-on.

Perhaps, it is because their strength has increased too quickly.

In ordinary martial arts fights, how could we see so many masters?

Sure enough, the Xiangxi sorcerer yelled fiercely, but his mind was already in a state of confusion. He shook the bell, but saw no effect. He immediately panicked, "How is this possible?"

After saying that, he hurried forward, frantically pushing aside the dead leaves.

Seeing that the zombie's neck was broken, he was suddenly filled with heartache and picked up the neck to check.

This old zombie is a treasure passed down from his lineage.

But as soon as I picked up the head, I realized something was wrong.

boom!
Along with the flames, there was a loud noise in the forest.

Mud and rocks flew everywhere, and the sorcerer and the two guards beside him were instantly blown away, their faces covered with iron pieces, and they were motionless.

"it is good!"

Sharifei was immediately excited when he saw this.

The addition of coal has greatly increased the power of gunpowder. Although it is not as good as the new gunpowder of the imperial court, it is enough to deal with people in the martial arts world.

"It's the imperial court!"

When the gunpowder came out, those people became even more panicked.

He didn't even bother to pay attention to his companions and turned around to run.

Li Yan would not hold back. He took out a flying knife from his waist, swung it with his hand, and stabbed it directly into the back of a man's head.

At this moment, there are still three people left on the other side.

One of them panicked and put a knife to the Meishan magician's throat, shouting, "Don't come over, or I'll kill him!"

The other two had already run into the woods.

Li Yan was about to chase after him, but he was startled and stopped, looking ahead with uncertain eyes.

He smelled a scent rising from the ground.

Brutal, bloody and extremely domineering.

Bang!
As the two men were walking forward, mud suddenly splashed on the ground, and a scaly head emerged, with its mouth full of fangs.

puff!

One of them was bitten into two pieces immediately, and before the remaining person could react, a huge scaly tail came whistling out of the mud and hit him directly in the chest.

With a crisp sound of bones breaking, the man flew seven or eight meters away, hit a tree, and fell heavily, without any movement...
