Knife splashing

Chapter 400: Sending troops to catch the evil
"Wuba, how many savage tribes are there here?"

Li Yan opened his eyes with a serious expression.

With the help of the Chu Ling paper figurine, he could see everything clearly.

I originally thought that the wild beasts and mountain demons were the support of the Shenkui tribe, but I didn't expect that everything was just the beginning.

A group of savages has appeared in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

Most of the gods are three meters tall, which is scary enough, but there is another type that is even bigger than them, reaching five meters tall.

The strange beast had a long and narrow face, similar to a baboon, with black lips, a hairy body, and heels. It had a strange smile on its face and was holding a huge stone in its hands.

This strange beast is recorded in the Xuanguai Lu, and its name is "Shandu", which comes from Erya Shishou, annotated by Guo Pu himself.

According to the "Xuanguailu", this beast is human-like, intelligent, moves as fast as the wind, is good at throwing stones, is very curious, but rarely harasses villages.

In many areas, they even become mountain gods, worshipped by the people and protect the mountain roads from evil spirits.

Even demon hunters would not kill this beast.

But now, they obey the control of the God.

In addition, there is the "mandrill", which is about the same size as the "shenkui", covered with black hair, has one foot and a heel, and a face that looks more like a baboon, with bright skin on its face, like a hideous ghost.

But more of them are real "savages".

In comparison, they are slightly smaller in size, with thick hair all over their bodies and unusually prominent facial features. There are both men and women, who are naked, holding sticks in their hands, and revealing their fangs.

"Mountain God...die...don't fight..."

Wu Ba gestured for a while and then spoke to Lu San in the upper language.

Lü San then explained: "He doesn't know much about Wu Ba either, he only knows that there was a Shenkui tribe nearby, and also a barbarian tribe."

"The mountains and forests also have their own rules, which is the territory of the mountain gods. The human Xiao and the 'Jingren' tribes believe in the mountain god 'Zou Yu'. The Shenkui tribe is 'Bai Gong', and the wild people believe in a mountain python."

"Originally, there was peace in Shennongjia, and they usually did not invade each other's territory to hunt. But since the arrival of the Tiansheng Sect, the balance of this area has been disrupted."

"Their rules are simple. 'Bai Gong' killed the other mountain gods and became their new god. Naturally, they must obey his orders."

Li Yan immediately understood, "What I mean is, as long as we destroy 'Bai Gong', the crisis can be resolved?"

Before he finished speaking, unusual movements occurred again at the foot of the mountain.

A long howl came from the depths of the dense forest, like a military order, and all the wild men and strange beasts in the mountains and forests began to move.

"Awwww~"

The savages let out strange howls and rushed out with big clubs in their hands. Although the mandrill and the shenkui had one leg, they were faster and could jump more than ten meters in a single leap.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Heavy footsteps were heard. It was the largest "mountain masters" who picked up the huge rocks, rushed to the middle of the mountain, and threw them high into the air.

"careful!"

Li Yan quickly dodged as a stone as big as a millstone rolled past.

These "mountain cities" threw up the huge rocks, obviously not just with strong force, but also using some special techniques, like a catapult.

Not only that, the human-faced owl in the sky also grabbed stones and threw them down again. For a moment, everyone had to dodge again and again.

Boom!
As if it weren't for the rain, there was a loud bang and the tiger squatting cannon placed on the ground was hit by a stone as big as a millstone. It rolled to the side and its barrel was deformed, making it completely useless.

"I... am a coward!"

Sharifei was so angry that he fired a shot at the foot of the mountain.

Bang!
One of the mandrill's legs was broken directly.

The enemy was so densely packed that there was no need to aim, but how much could they stop with only three muskets?
In a blink of an eye, the enemy rushed up.

Those gods were still cunning, hiding in the back and shouting, driving the mandrills and savages to rush forward.

In a hurry, Sharifei directly lit the explosive pack and asked Wu Ba to throw it far away.

These explosive packs were all used for tiger squat cannons, filled with new gunpowder. With a huge roar, the air waves generated caused the savages to fall down.

But after all, no iron sheets were added, and except for the one closest to them who was killed directly by the explosion, the rest stood up, shook their heads, and continued to attack.

Not only that, they also picked up stones and threw them. Together with the "Mountain City" below and the human-faced owl in the sky, they were also throwing stones. For a moment, rocks fell from the top of the mountain like rain, forcing everyone to take shelter.

"Help me protect the law!"

Li Yan let out a roar and leaped backwards.

He originally wanted to wait for "Bai Gong" to show up before using the "Luo Feng Kao Zhao Da Fa", but he had no choice at this time. If he did not capture the old demon's soul as soon as possible, the top of the mountain would be lost sooner or later.

At the bottom of the cave, upon hearing Li Yan's voice, Wang Daoxuan immediately stepped on the magic steps, spit out water from his mouth, waved the Money Sword, and pointed forward.

In front of the five Dharma flags on the altar, the candle flame suddenly shot up three feet.

On the top of the mountain, soldiers from five battalions immediately gathered together and rushed down the hillside. Wherever they passed, whether savages or mandrills, they all instantly lost consciousness, white frost appeared on their bodies, and they fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the God Leader hiding in the back screamed, turned around and jumped high to escape, and the remaining savages and mandrills did the same...

The enemy's offensive was interrupted, and Sharifei and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu San took out the bone flute, stared at the night sky and blew it. The sound was strange and ancient, and somewhat similar to the "Ju Shui Witch Sound" that Zhou Lizheng played before entering the mountain.

When the human-faced owl in the air heard this, it saw a host of hallucinations and felt dizzy. It almost lost its flight and retreated in fear.

This is the Mountain Ghost Witch Sound, which is just right for the Mountain Ghost Ban.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yan has arrived at the area where the "Fengdu Order" is enshrined. This place is protected by the earth's energy. Even if there is a lot of noise on the top of the mountain, the candlelight in front will never go out.

Without any hesitation, Li Yan held the certificate, bowed respectfully, and then stepped on the magic arts while closing his eyes and concentrating.

The Luofeng Kaosuo Summoning Method cannot be used immediately; it requires setting up a prison, sending out generals, arresting souls, punishing them, and interrogating them, all step by step.

The first step is to set up a prison.

This method is to simulate the underworld of Luofeng. The more realistic it is, the better and the more powerful it is. Therefore, hundreds of people can cooperate when setting up the altar.

Of course it is impossible now, but fortunately Li Yan has the order, so he can barely open the altar.

As he concentrated his mind and visualized, Mount Luofeng became clearer and clearer in his mind.

Call ~
A strong wind blew, and the candlelight at the back flickered. It suddenly jumped up three feet high and even turned green.

The divine light is bright and the will-o'-the-wisp fire is flickering.

This is called Yin Fire, which appears when the earth's Yin energy is intense. When exploring a tomb, they would use candlelight to test it. Once Yin Fire appears, it means a taboo has been violated and they must leave immediately.

The Yin Fire that appears now is particularly different.

Not only did it soar up to three feet high, but even the surrounding yin energy was affected, emitting a faint green light and surrounded by mist, making the entire mountaintop look like the underworld of ghosts.

Sharifei and others were horrified and dared not make a noise.

They could feel that the atmosphere on the top of the mountain had also become strange. The green light was shining, but there was no evil air at all. Instead, there was a sense of coldness and majesty, as if they were in the hall of a government office.

At the same time, unusual movements occurred again at the foot of the mountain.

"Roar!"

In the distant mountains and forests, a desolate whistling sound was heard, and a cloud of black smoke rose up, like a huge flag fluttering in the wind.

More evil spirits began to gather. Not only that, the black smoke also swirled in the air and headed towards the top of the mountain.

Wherever he passed, a chill spread, bringing with it a pungent smell of blood. It was "Mr. Bai" who sensed something was wrong and waved his soul flag.

This soul flag was obtained after killing a master of the Tiansheng Sect. After some processing, it became more powerful.

There was already a group of rampant soldiers in the Soul Banner. They were brutal and cruel, scaring the surrounding wild people into running around and directly colliding with the ghost soldiers.

Two auras, one white and one black, kept colliding in the air. Strong winds were howling on the mountain, and the sounds of shouting and killing could be faintly heard.

Seeing this, Li Yan did not wait any longer. He held the warrant and chanted: "The direct talisman of Tianyuan, the six gods of Dijia, Fengdu is fierce, brave and powerful. The sky will open and the earth will crack. The gods will do evil and roar to shake the mountains and forests. No matter how far or near, they will be captured and brought to the altar..."

This is the second step of Luo Feng Kaoshao's method, sending troops to capture the evil.

There were also five battalions of soldiers in the Wufang Luofeng Banner, but their power was greatly reduced due to his Taoism.

To prevent accidents, he directly used the Gangling.

In the ruins of the ancient Fuxi tribe in Xianshan, he caught a group of criminals, but finally chose the Five-sided Luofeng Flag and recruited five battalions of soldiers to join them, so there were only two left among the warrants.

In a short period of time, the harvest of several months was about to be exhausted.

They were summoned by the Gou Die Gang Ling, so it was also a battalion of ghost soldiers, but they were backed by the power of the underworld, and their might was obvious.

A darkness spread out, and even the green light on the mountain was suppressed. Sharifei and others quickly turned their heads away, not daring to look.

The darkness changed direction and entered the Ghost Gate flag that Li Yan had set up in advance, and then broke through the air directly.

A terrifying atmosphere enveloped the mountains and rivers.

Not only was the human-faced owl in the sky running around in fear, but even the wild men, mandrills, and mountain lions on the ground all lay on the ground and trembled.

Swish!
In the dense forest in the distance, black smoke-like flags were shaking rapidly.

The soldiers who were originally fighting with the five battalions of soldiers suddenly flew into the air and tried to block the darkness.

However, this move is purely a futile effort.

The soldiers were violent and brutal, but when they collided with the darkness, they were directly scared to death, and the black smoke in the distance exploded instantly.

"Unbelievable!"

Li Yan's eyes were cold and he snorted.

At this moment, he was enveloped in the earth's yin energy, and his whole body was chilling, like a judge sitting in the hall to interrogate people, making Sharifei and others feel unfamiliar.

The darkness moved at a very fast speed and directly sank into the dense forest where the black smoke was in the distance. It rolled over and roared again, returning to the top of the mountain through the Ghost Gate.

Wow!
With the sound of chains, a ball of white mist fell out from the darkness, twisting and struggling continuously, making shrill howls, but was suppressed by the power of the ghost soldiers.

"How dare you do this!"

Li Yan shouted loudly and pointed at the warrant.

Call ~
In an instant, the white mist was burned by the green Yin Fire, and a white god could be vaguely seen, screaming and struggling in the green fire.

After the Yin Fire, the Yin Energy of the earth spread and froze the white mist again. Even the other people on the top of the mountain felt as if their heads were about to be frozen.

This is the third step, the torture of water and fire purgatory.

After two consecutive times, "Bai Gong" completely collapsed and lay on the ground motionless.

At the same time, many thoughts flashed through Li Yan's mind.

It was a young divine beast that accidentally fell into a deep valley and drank the dregs of medicine in a broken copper tripod. Its hair gradually turned white...

He has amazing talent. When he grows up, he tears his old father into pieces and becomes the leader of the Shenkui tribe. Later, he gradually becomes the mountain god...

He has a violent temper and often stirs up dark fog and strong winds to control ghosts and monsters, confuse people who enter the mountain, and capture and devour them...

He bewitched the mandrill tribe and left Shennongjia to wreak havoc. When he found out that the outside world was powerful, he retreated into the mountains and dared not go out...

When the Tiansheng Sect arrived, he summoned the mountain gods to deal with it together, but after obtaining the "Demon Body Immortality Method" from the Tiansheng Sect, he suddenly attacked and killed the other mountain gods and devoured their essence, blood, and spiritual charm...

The past of "Bai Gong" is displayed one by one.

Li Yan had an indifferent expression. He took out the yellow paper and wrote down everything with a cinnabar pen. Then he folded it into a square and lit it with Yin fire in front of the "Fengdu Token".

This is the final step, conviction.

If an ordinary person commits a crime, no matter how serious it is, he will be subject to the laws of the world of the living, and the underworld will not care.

But this "Bai Gong" happens to be a mountain god, which means we are in trouble!
Sure enough, after the yellow paper was burned, the darkness quickly spread, wrapped up the soul of "Bai Gong", and sank directly into the ground and disappeared.

According to the "Law of the Underworld", this old monster will suffer more when he enters the underworld.

As soon as "Bai Gong" died, all the savages, baboon, and mountain demons were freed from their restraints and immediately fled in all directions.

This crisis has finally been completely resolved!
Li Yan did not dare to delay, and closed the altar step by step according to the regulations. After the candlelight in front of the "Fengdu Token" returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

His body was already covered with frost and his face was blue and purple.

With his current level of cultivation, it is still a bit difficult for him to use this "Luofeng Kaoshao Dafa".

"Brother Yan!"

Sharifei and others quickly surrounded them.

"I am fine."

Li Yan panted and waved his hands, "Quick, find the body of 'Bai Gong'. His soul has been cast into the netherworld. If we don't deal with it soon, the body of the mountain god will also turn into an evil creature."

"it is good!"

Sha Lifei, Lu San and others immediately ran down the mountain.

Li Yan lit a bonfire, and after roasting for a while, his frozen body finally felt a little warm.

After taking a few sips of hot wine, I finally came back to my senses.

He smiled and said to the bottom of the cave: "Master, it's over. Let's stop the altar and rest for a while."

Wang Daoxuan below was already on the verge of collapse. Hearing this, he stroked his beard and smiled, closed the altar, and sat on the ground.

This time against the Shenkui tribe, they have demonstrated their extraordinary fighting power.

But at this moment, Li Yan suddenly raised his head, frowned slightly and looked towards the northwest, feeling an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart...

…………

"Move quickly!"

In the mountains outside Shennongjia, the imperial troops were also busy.

Teams of soldiers patrolled the periphery, each team was equipped with musketeers, as well as a captain with a musket, and accompanied by Taoist priests from the Zhenwu Palace.

Torches were lit up everywhere, and many soldiers were cutting down trees and building a wooden altar on the open ground.

Yu Longzi looked at the compass in his hand, pointing out the location of the altar from time to time, and the Taoists raised the formation flags one by one.

Looking at the altar that was getting higher and higher, the general next to him was also a little surprised, "Master, does it have to be ten feet?"

Yu Longzi said calmly: "The information sent back by Mr. Li is that this trapped dragon is called Black Scale Master. It has an extraordinary origin and must be handled with caution..."

Rumble!
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.

Yu Longzi's face changed drastically, he looked up suddenly and muttered: "The thunderstorm came early, how is it possible?!"
