Knife splashing

Chapter 397 Before the White Dew Ghost Rain

"Dirty the disaster to the east?"

After hearing this, Qin Zhihai's face suddenly turned ugly.

He was not tall, with a black cloth wrapped around his head, wearing an indigo short robe, and various bone strings hanging on his chest, a typical Miao outfit.

Although he was dressed luxuriously, he was blind in one eye.

What the Right Prime Minister of the Tiansheng Sect said was correct, but he rejected it directly with stiff official language, "No, I have to settle the grudge myself. If I don't kill that kid with my own hands, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

"this…"

Upon hearing this, the Right Prime Minister was suddenly embarrassed.

To be honest, he simply looked down upon Qin Zhihai in front of him. Anyone could see that the Tusi City Princess did not fancy this one-eyed man at all and it was all wishful thinking on her part.

And this guy is a complete villain.

Before, they were able to treat everyone with courtesy, but as soon as their Tiansheng Sect fell into trouble, the other party immediately put on airs.

But there was no way out. The Jingxiang uprising had basically failed.

Even if they succeed in resurrecting Lord Tiansheng, their only way out now is to join Tusi City and jointly deal with the imperial army.

Living under someone else's roof, you can only bow your head temporarily.

Thinking of this, the Right Prime Minister suppressed his anger and said kindly: "Fellow Daoist Qin, please calm down. We also hate that kid to the core, but now we still have to put the overall situation first."

Qin Zhihai gave him a cold glance, obviously not intending to listen.

"Stop arguing, it's settled!"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded nearby.

The person who was speaking was wearing a Confucian robe, had white hair, bloodshot eyes, and a cold expression.

Speaking of which, Li Yan had also seen this person.

Previously in Xiangyang City, the city was closed due to plague, and the people gathered to make trouble, but were stopped by Master Lu from Longzhong Academy. Later it was discovered that this man was a spy planted by Zhao Changsheng in Xiangyang.

The Nanmu King, who was once notorious in Xiangyang, was beheaded by this man, and the remains of the demon king were turned into the source of plague.

He is the leader of the Ghost Cult in Xiangyang City.

After hearing his decision, Qin Zhihai of Tusi City was unwilling but he had to bow his head and dared not say anything more.

The Ghost Cult and the Heavenly Saint Cult are two different things.

Needless to say, the reputation of the Great Song Ghost Cult is that it is the real evil cult that is causing trouble in China. Even the Maitreya Cult has to stand aside.

Nowadays, the leader Zhao Changsheng appears and disappears like a ghost, making moves everywhere. The chaos in the southwest is caused by him, and no one dares to offend him.

Especially since Tusi City wanted to bring an ancestor back to life and had to rely on him for help, Qin Zhihai naturally knew how serious it was.

Seeing this, the Right Prime Minister of the Tiansheng Sect also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master Lu, what else do you think we should do?"

Master Lu raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly: "The Right Prime Minister's plan is very good. No matter that boy or 'Mr. Bai', they are not to be feared. Just lead them to fight each other."

"The Dragon Channel is the key. I have observed the sky and found that the purple light in the early morning these few days has formed rays of light. This is the sign of 'sun support'. It is also the day of White Dew and Ghost Rain, so there will definitely be thunderstorms and disasters."

"Time is running out, the ditch must be dug as soon as possible!"

After that, he looked at Qin Zhihai next to him, "Fellow Daoist Qin is good at controlling beasts, so you can pass the message to 'Mr. Bai', which can also be regarded as killing the enemy with your own hands."

"I will be away for a few days. When I return, your church's 'Tian Sheng Gong' will definitely accompany me!"

"Thank you, Master Lu!"

Everyone from the Tiansheng Sect in the tent had a look of joy on their faces.

Resurrecting "Tianshenggong" has been their plan for many years. Especially at this moment, the return of "Tianshenggong" will surely stabilize people's hearts.

As long as they can use the dragon to break through, they may be able to rebuild their business in this chaos in the southwest!

Not long after, three figures appeared outside the dense forest. They were Qin Zhihai, Master Lu and Protector Wang.

Dharma Protector Wang knew that Qin Zhihai was narrow-minded and might have been resentful because he had been humiliated in the tent before, so he flattered him, "Fellow Daoist Qin, the Wu Nuo method of Tusi City is well inherited. You have become the 'Tusi Laosi' and will definitely be the city lord in the future."

In the Tusi city, there is a position called "Tu Lao Si", which is equivalent to a priest. It is called "Tima" in Tujia language, which means "people who worship gods" and has great power.

Many chieftains also serve as "Tu Lao Si".

At this time, Qin Zhihai had changed his clothes. He wore a phoenix crown on his head, a flowered jacket on top, and an eight-piece silk skirt on the bottom.

He had a sword, a copper bell, and an ox-horn horn hanging around his waist, and in his hand he held a colorful willow stick.

Hearing the flattery from Wang Hufa, his expression eased a little, "It's just a small matter, but now that we are fighting the imperial court, we don't have time to grant the land."

After saying that, he took out a wooden Nuo mask from behind him. The mask had simple lines, was simple and strange, and was inlaid with animal hair.

After putting on the Nuo mask, he began to dance the Nuo dance.

Different from Lu San's ancient Chu Nuo dance, Qin Zhihai's Nuo dance is more primitive and wild, with his head shaking, waving colorful willow sticks, and calling out the name of "Mei Chang Hunting God"...

Not long after, there was a rustling sound in the dark forest, and a leopard emerged. It looked alert and fearful, and seemed very reluctant, but slowly approached.

Snapped!
Qin Zhihai put a stick on his head, then leaned over and muttered something in the upper language.

The leopard's eyes quickly became confused, and then it quickly turned around and rushed into the dense forest, heading towards the direction of the Shenkui tribe.

"All right!"

Qin Zhihai took off his Nuo mask and said coldly, "I have delivered my message. What if Mr. Bai doesn't fall for it?"

"Hahaha…"

Wang the Dharma Protector smiled and consoled him, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qin. If it doesn't work, I will personally lead people to catch that kid!"

At this time, Master Lu next to him also said: "Okay, I'm leaving too. Remember, you must guard the Dragon Ditch."

After saying this, he went to the deep mountains in the west alone.

This old scholar looked old, but he used some kind of magical movement technique. The hidden power under his feet burst out continuously, and cold wind whistled around him. He was like a ghost in the mountains at night, and his speed was astonishing.

An hour later, he arrived at the foot of Shennongding Mountain.

But all around there were dense stone forests, lush green bamboos, and jagged rocks everywhere. It was hidden in thick fog, and the light was dim, like a ghost cave.

At this place, even Master Lu became cautious. He picked up a lantern and lit it, which shone with a faint green flame.

The lantern was a bamboo-woven "fire wheel" style lantern, commonly seen at the Chang'an Lantern Festival, but it was covered with white paper.

What was even more bizarre was that on the white paper, there was a statue of a god drawn. It was a middle-aged man with a white beard and black eyebrows, dressed in black, and a pair of huge chicken claw feet. It was none other than the Ghost Cult's demon god Ran Tong.

What Ran Tong passed down was the "Art of Longevity through the Underworld", which was very good at controlling various ghosts and could also transform itself and steal incense.

This lantern is obviously some kind of magical weapon.

After it was lit, the surrounding thick fog suddenly became dim and it seemed that something was dispersing rapidly.

Mr. Lu didn't even look at the road, he just walked forward with the lantern lit.

The faint green fire inside was swaying, sometimes to the west, sometimes to the east, as if indicating the direction.

I don't know how long I walked, but a cave suddenly appeared in front of me. It was surrounded by rugged rocks and no grass. It turned out to be a stone forest.

The cave was dark and the wind was howling like ghosts and wolves howling.

Master Lu entered without hesitation.

After walking through the cave for a while, a stone cave suddenly appeared in front of us. There were fire pots lit around it and a small pool in the center.

Next to the pool, several figures were sitting cross-legged. The most conspicuous one was a monster, hairless, with pale and smooth skin, blood-red nails, a mouth full of fangs, a face as ferocious as a demon, and wearing a blood-red robe.

It was Master Huang Liu who came back to life using the incorruptible body.

Beside him were all Ghost Cult monks, the most powerful of whom was Ge Lai Chong, a treasure hunter from the Xiangxi exploring sect.

At this moment, his skin was also cold and covered with corpse spots. Due to practicing the "Art of Longevity through the Underworld", he had completely turned into an "old ghost man".

Together with Master Lu, that is the entire strength of the Ezhou Ghost Cult.

"Greetings to the Yellow Palm Order!"

Master Lu bowed respectfully.

Master Huang Liu slowly turned his head, his pair of blood-red eyes full of coldness, "What's the situation over there?"

Master Lu said in a deep voice: "The Tiansheng Sect has sent out demon troops to disrupt vision in various places in Baokang. Yulongzi has not yet found Mr. Black Scale. The dragon channel is almost completed. In three days, it will be time for the dragon to leave."

"All water monsters have stopped their movements and are waiting for the day when the dragon will come to the rescue, so they can stir up trouble."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Master Huang nodded slightly, seeming satisfied. "The leader asked us to make a big noise, so he must have other plans. We must not be careless."

As he said this, he looked towards the pool and said, "The Tiansheng Sect has obtained the method of immortality for demon bodies, and they hunted demons everywhere and created a demon army, but they didn't know that they were making wedding clothes for us."

"The demon god Yuan Zimei has escaped with two demonic auras, and then attached himself to this 'Tian Sheng Gong'. If he goes to Tusi City, he will be able to completely control the situation and reunite the Ghost Cult!"

In the pool, there were various medicinal herbs densely packed, as well as unknown bones and flesh, which dyed the entire pool bloody.

In the center of the pool, there was a huge mass of strange flesh that looked like a Tai Sui, forming the shape of a coffin. Under the light of the fire, there seemed to be a human figure curled up inside...

…………

The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

The bonfire on the top of the mountain is almost going out.

"Ah~"

Sharifei yawned and stood up, stretched his body, then scratched his head and said, "I made it through another night, and the wind started blowing in the middle of the night, giving me a headache."

He looked to the side and saw Li Yan with a serious expression, looking at the sky. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Yan, what's wrong?"

"It's cloudy."

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "It's already autumn now, the weather is a little strange, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily."

Sharifei was quick-witted and understood immediately after hearing what he said, "Brother Yan, do you mean that the Tiansheng Church will take advantage of the opportunity to take action?"

Li Yan looked into the distance, "They don't have that much time..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around suddenly and said, "Get your weapons!"

Sharifei was startled and looked up quickly.

In the distance, in the direction of the Shenkui tribe, several black spots were seen flying out from the dark clouds, approaching them rapidly.

It is huge in size and is indeed the human-faced owl.

There was a bonfire burning on the top of the mountain, which could not be hidden from them at all. They flapped their wings and arrived above Li Yan and his group in a blink of an eye.

"Damn it, how come this thing is here!"

Sharifei quickly picked up the magic gun next to him, loaded the magazine, and aimed at the sky at the same time.

However, just like before, these human-faced owls were very cunning. They flew high in the sky and refused to land.

At this distance, the magic gun is not very accurate.

Their chirping and screaming attracted more human-faced owls. A rough count showed that there were more than a dozen of them circling in the sky.

As if feeling threatened, the human-faced owl always maintained a certain height, staring at everyone with eyes full of viciousness and malice.

"Fuck your mother!"

Wu Ba, who was standing next to him, had also woken up. He picked up a stone and threw it out.

Wuba's brute strength is unmatched. The muscles in his shoulders, back and arms swell and the stones whiz out like cannonballs with incredible force.

However, the human-faced owl also dodged it, laughing loudly and flying up and down, as if mocking them for overestimating their own abilities.

Not only that, the stones thrown by Wu Ba seemed to alert them, and several human-faced owls flew away immediately.

When it came back again, it grabbed some stones in its huge claw, each as big as a basin, and threw them at them.

Stones fell one after another. Li Yan dodged them easily with a gloomy face, while Wu Ba swung his fists and smashed the stones directly.

Although Li Yan was not afraid of such attacks, he felt somewhat helpless.

All his martial arts and techniques are more suitable for close combat, and his means of long-range attack are equivalent to nothing.

To deal with these things in front of us, there is a method called "Northern Emperor's Treasure Bottle Method", which is specifically used to suppress all kinds of mountain monsters and evil spirits, but it requires the use of a treasure bottle instrument, which has not yet been practiced.

Seeing that the stones had no effect, these human-faced owls changed their strategy. They flapped their wings, raised their heads, and chirped loudly. Their shrill screams echoed throughout the area.

Wow!
Flocks of birds in the surrounding forests were startled and flew away, as if they were being controlled. They came roaring and swooped down on the top of the mountain.

The Shenkui tribe is good at controlling the spirits of wild beasts.

The human-faced owl naturally also knows this method.

Ding Ding Ding!
The tassel of Li Yan's Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin was shaking, and murderous intent was spreading. The flock of birds was frightened and quickly scattered, but were driven back by the human-faced owl.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the flock of birds on the top of the mountain gathered and dispersed like the tide.

Bang!
Sharifei finally couldn't help but fired a shot.

But as expected, at this distance, the Divine Fire Gun had already lost its accuracy, and even with the scattered pills, it didn't hit a single target.

The human-faced owl was frightened and flapped its wings. The surrounding birds lost control and fled at a high speed, but the human-faced owl never left.

Inside the cave, Wang Daoxuan, who was sitting in front of the altar, had also noticed it. He immediately picked up a straw man, made some hand gestures, and then stuffed a lucky coin into the man's belly.

This lucky coin is very special. It is hollowed out as a whole and has two Vermilion Birds carved out of it. There is also a crabapple flower carved at the foot.

This coin is called "Double Bird Climbing Flower" and is carved with two Vermilion Birds.

Vermillion Bird represents fire. If this coin is buried in a house, birds dare not approach it at will. It is generally used in government granaries. However, it has been refined by people and has absorbed evil spirits for many years, becoming a rare cursed coin.

After the death of the Donghu ancestor, a large number of lucky coins were found in his stomach. The Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coins were taken away by Li Yan, and the rest were used by Wang Daoxuan. This coin was one of them.

After inserting the coins, Wang Daoxuan stared at one of the black spots through the entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain, holding the straw man and muttering a spell.

Although he prefers magic such as exorcism and disaster prevention, he is more talented in curses. After reaching the third level of Taoism, the power of the "Seven Arrows Secret Spell" he practiced also increased.

As for the original oath, monsters and goblins were not included.

Wang Daoxuan cast a spell, and Li Yan also noticed it. He held the Dust-Breaking Sword in his hand, ready at all times.

Sure enough, a human-faced owl began to be affected, its head became dizzy, and it fell down staggeringly.

Li Yan seized the opportunity, flew forward, chopped off his head with one knife, and then looked around.

The other human-faced owls were frightened and scattered, but refused to leave.

Sharifei seemed to be thinking about something, and cursed: "I know, these thieves are trying to hold us back, and the Shenkui tribe will attack after dark!"
