Knife splashing

Chapter 435: Fengdu Night Shock

Ding Ding Ding!
The tassel of the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin Knife shook, and Li Yan calmed down temporarily.

He forced himself to calm down and looked around.

Fortunately, the magical powers can still be used here. He pinched the Yang Jue with his hands, activated the magical power of smell, and immediately smelled the scent of incense on both sides.

Based on the taste, I draw an image in my mind.

But there were only two shadowy statues standing beside the road.

But he saw two statues wearing crowns, with naked upper bodies, ribs and muscles like the thick roots of old trees, holding vajra in their hands, with legs spread apart, standing in a majestic posture, looking down at him condescendingly.

They are none other than the famous “Two Generals Heng and Ha”!
Of course, the term "Heng Ha Er Jiang" only became widely known because of "The Investiture of the Gods".

Their true identity is the Vajra guardian of Buddhism.

The general will be named "Miji Vajra".
Ha will be called "Naloyana".

According to legend, they hold vajra in their hands, glare with anger, and defend the Buddhist kingdom and Buddhism from harm with a mighty and majestic posture.

It is not surprising to see Buddhist Vajra in famous mountains.

The confluence of the three religions is the mainstream. Many famous mountains and rivers have both Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. Some temples even enshrine the founders of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

This is the characteristic of secular temples.

When common people enter, they can pray for good fortune in literature or worship Laojun, and they can also visit Buddha and pay homage to saints. It can be said to be a one-stop service.

The only thing they were fighting for was ranking.

By seeing who stands in the first position in the temple, you can roughly tell which party built the temple.

The only thing that puzzled Li Yan was why someone was stopping him from doing anything.

The "Two Generals Heng and Ha" are often used to guard mountain gates, and common people use them to ward off evil spirits. In temple fairs, people often parade around as the Two Generals Heng and Ha. Their images also often appear in paper-cuts and New Year pictures.

Could it be that he was mistaken for a demon?

Li Yan gritted his teeth and prepared to leave this place quickly.

But just as he took a step, the strong man on the left opened his mouth with an angry face and exhaled "Ha", while the strong man on the right closed his lips with an angry face and let out a muffled "Hum".

They all had ferocious expressions, dignified demeanor, and glared angrily.

The two sounds of "hum" and "ha" shocked Li Yan's body and soul at the same time, and he almost fell down again.

But if you stay where you are, the two generals will ignore you.

Li Yan suddenly realized that this was not an expulsion, but an interception and a test. If he was not capable enough, he would not even be able to enter the door.

"damn it!"

Thinking of this, Li Yan laughed angrily.

With his current Hua Jin skills and the third level of Taoism, he is already at the pinnacle of the mortal world, and is better than those disciples from famous schools.

If even he has such a hard time, who else can get through it?

The "Huangquan" organization is too shameless!
Anger gives birth to courage. Li Yan's stubborn temper came up. He immediately concentrated his mind, took a step forward, and uttered a thunderous sound.

"Hum!"

"Humph!"

"what!"

Three voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Suddenly, strong winds blew around.

In the thick fog, the shadows of two huge statues were looming.

After the three voices collided, Li Yan obviously felt much better. He took another step forward and uttered a loud thundering sound.

This time, the feeling was clearer.

He started with the Cloud Thunder God Drum, practicing the Great Cloud Thunder Sound. Today, he no longer needs the cooperation of the god drum. During his daily practice, he can use the thunder sound to assist and vibrate the meridians and fascia throughout his body.

After practicing thunder magic, the power becomes even stronger.

These two strong men are the ones that the people worship with incense on a daily basis. Their mental power is gathered and condensed, and they are considered incense gods. In addition, they are located in a blessed place, which gives them such power.

To be honest, it didn't make him so embarrassed.

But there is an extra touch of "divine" charm in it.

The feeling of being as still as a mountain and as majestic as a peak.

Li Yan experienced it carefully and gained some understanding.

This thing should be "momentum"!
The warrior gathers all his strength, holds the Yuan and stays One, gathers the Qi in Dantian, and gradually generates "fist force". With one punch, the enemy will be terrified.

The next step is to be guided by the "momentum" and gather the strength.

Although he was young, his body had not yet reached its limit, his strength had not yet been perfected, and he had not achieved Dan Jin, but a month ago, he had accidentally realized the power through thunder magic.

It's just a shortened version and cannot induce the internal energy.

But facing the current situation, it is enough.

Li Yan took another step.

This time, he visualized thunder in his mind, thunder rumbling in the sky, shocking heaven and earth, while he exhaled and spoke.

"Hum!"

Finally, the sound of the thundering cloud completely covered the "hum and ha" sounds. Li Yan was no longer affected and passed through easily.

The two tall shadows in the thick fog also dissipated.

After Li Yan passed, he turned around, clasped his fists, and continued moving forward.

He was in a good mood at this time.

Although he was blocked, his martial arts improved, as if the door had been pushed open a little more and he knew what to do next.

Not long after he left, the fog behind him gradually dissipated, revealing two mighty statues of strong men guarding the mountain, which looked lifelike and vivid.

But I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

In a short time, the statue became more mottled...

…………

After passing the mountain-guarding Vajrapani, there is a rugged mountain road, which the local people call the Pilgrimage Road. It was built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has been repaired many times, so many steps have cracks.

The place is still shrouded in thick fog.

Li Yan stared at the mountain road as he moved forward, fearing that he would stray from the right path. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way until a memorial archway and city wall appeared in front of him.

There were only three words written on it: "Gate of Hell".

There are no doors here and no one is guarding it, but the old archways and city gates stand alone in the thick fog, dim and dark, as if you have really arrived at the gates of hell.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, became alert, and walked through carefully.

Almost instantly, the scene changed again.

The fog became thicker, carrying a chilling chill. Li Yan's eyes blurred and many things appeared double.

There stands a huge rugged rock by the side of the road, with three large characters "Yin Yang Realm" written on it, but no one knows when it was erected.

call!
A strange wind was howling. Li Yan looked at the boulder and was surprised to find that the three big words "Yin Yang Realm" began to ooze blood.

In an instant, the smell of blood filled the air, and piles of bones appeared under the boulder. The mountain path and the palace in the distance became blurred.

Li Yan rubbed his eyes, and all the illusions disappeared instantly.

But when he began to look at the boulder, he smelled a strong smell of blood again, and the same illusion appeared again.

Li Yan quickly lowered his head and dared not look again.

He was extremely shocked.

This place looks a bit like some kind of formation, but not necessarily. It's as if the innate energy of this mountain has changed and can influence people through magical powers.

No wonder, ordinary people can’t see anything and won’t attract evil spirits, so they are safe and sound staying in the mountains.

But when the Taoist monks were here, they had many illusions.

This power seems to be specifically targeted at supernatural powers.

Li Yan has now opened up his ability of smell and hearing. He can often smell some strange smells and hear constant noises in his ears.

"Go around ten times to summon the ten directions, and then you should come to the seat. The great gods of heaven, the supreme saints, the true people of wonderful deeds, are countless..."

This is the Taoist "Sutra of Saving People".

"Due to the world of causes, there is a false cycle. Due to the world of causes, there is a contaminated cycle. Due to the world of causes, there is a cycle of attachment..."

"Due to the causes and conditions of desire, one falls into the three evil paths. In the six realms of reincarnation, one suffers all kinds of pain and poison..."

This is the Buddhist Lotus Sutra.

In addition, there are other musical instruments such as wooden fish, gongs, sheng and flute.

The noise and chaos made Li Yan dizzy.

His hearing ability is somewhat special and he can hear the sounds of ghosts and gods, so he is more affected than other people.

These sounds may have come from a ritual long ago, or from an unknown area, and have merged with the aura of the famous mountain. They cannot be avoided, evaded, or escaped.

Li Yan tried to use the Yin Jue technique to shut down his magical powers, but it was useless. He had to grit his teeth and continue moving forward.

Not long after walking forward, a palace temple appeared on the right, with flying eaves and brackets, and nine dragons circling the beams. On the couplets on both sides of the gate, it was written "Nine soaring pythons shocked the sun and the moon, a palace flew here to calm the universe."

On the door plaque are three big characters "Nine Pythons Hall".

There was a faint candlelight inside.

Li Yan couldn't help but turn his head to look.

I saw a huge long table filled with offerings, incense and candles, and an old Taoist priest sleeping under the table, snoring loudly.

There was black fog lingering above, and a huge shadow could be vaguely seen, with blazing eyes emitting a faint light.

Call ~
In an instant, a strong wind blew up.

The Goudie in Li Yan's arms became colder and colder, like a piece of ice that was about to freeze him into powder from the inside out.

But at this moment, a force surged out, and the coldness of Gou Die dissipated, and Li Yan's body was no longer stiff.

Without saying a word, he quickly quickened his pace and left.

When he was about to leave the temple, he turned around and looked.

Inside the hall, the candlelight was still on, and the green light in the black shadow's eyes was dim, but it seemed that he was still staring at him.

In the Nine Python Hall, the Inspector General of the Underworld is enshrined.

In other words, all living ghost messengers are under his control, at least in the underworld.

The power that just surged out came from the Five-sided Luofeng Flag, which was obtained from the remains of the Qiongqi tribe that was wiped out.

The Chief Censor is a priest in the underworld today.

And he practiced the "Bei Di Sutra", which is the even more ancient method of the Six Heavenly Palaces of Luofeng Mountain, but few people know about it nowadays.

Li Yan had an inexplicable feeling.

Now these strange phenomena may have nothing to do with the living ghost.

He didn't understand the reason, but at this point, he could only move forward.

Soon, another palace appeared on the right.

The three characters "Lingzu Temple" are written on it.

Li Yan knew this, and the people enshrined inside were Lord Long En, the Great Lingguan of Dutian Jiucha, and Wang Lingguan.

It is said that "he has three eyes that can see the world's affairs, and one whip can wake up the people of the world", and he controls thunder and fire, and is also the guardian of the Taoist mountain gate.

In many Taoist temples, the first person you see is Wang Lingguan.

Unlike the Nine Python Palace before, there was also a faint glow of fire and rumbling thunder inside, and it was so powerful that it seemed as if it was about to burst out.

"You coward, come on too!"

Li Yan couldn't help but curse.

The Chief Inspector of the Underworld is somewhat related to him.

But why did you, Wang Lingguan, beat me?
Li Yan didn't understand why, but he had to speed up his pace.

Call ~
A hot breath whistled out.

Using his ability to smell, Li Yan could smell that the breath was filled with the power of incense, and it seemed like a huge wheel.

At the same time, lightning crackled in the thick fog.

"Go away!"

Li Yan was also really angry.

The soul-catching rope whizzed out, and at the same time stimulated the thunder inside.

Rumble!
There was only a loud bang, and the breath was directly shattered.

After all, it is not a real body, but a gathering of the power of incense and offerings from the human world. In terms of power, how can it compare to the brilliant thunder from the sky.

Inside the Lingzu Temple, the light dimmed.

But there was a dim candlelight inside, and a black-faced Taoist was sitting cross-legged under the altar. He was also sleeping, but was awakened by the thunder.

Strangely, he seemed to see Li Yan outside the temple, who was just looking outside with a puzzled look on his face, muttering: "Why is it thundering? Alas, there won't be many pilgrims tomorrow..."

Before he could finish his words, his head nodded again and he fell asleep.

Li Yan gritted his teeth and looked forward.

At this moment, he was also a little nervous.

Things were so weird tonight. When we encountered the Lingzu Temple, we had to use a thunderbolt. There were many temples above, and each of the gods enshrined there was more ruthless than the other.

Even if he was the God of Incense, he couldn't withstand this beating.

Damn it, what evil did I do!

Li Yan complained in his heart and continued to move forward...

…………

Rumble!
At the foot of the mountain, by the river bank, the old man suddenly looked up.

Although the autumn rain was continuous and the night was dark, he could still see a flash of lightning on the mountain.

"What happened?"

The old man's eyes were suddenly filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He had sent several people up the mountain before, but this was the first time such a situation had happened. What had happened to that kid that required the use of thunder magic?
"grandfather."

In the cabin, his grandson's voice suddenly sounded.

"Poor kid, it's okay."

The old man shook his head and said, "That kid is probably trapped in an illusion and is using thunder magic indiscriminately. If he breaks anything, I will make him pay for it tomorrow."

"No."

Inside the cabin, the grandson's voice was trembling, his face was pale, his whole body was shaking, and he was pointing to the south tremblingly.

"Over there, something is coming..."

"Ok?"

The old man suddenly raised his head, his dark ghost eyes flashed green, and then his scalp tingled, "Retreat quickly! Send a signal!"

The disciples on the boat rowed hurriedly, while someone pulled the bamboo tube.

call out!
A burst of firework shot up into the sky.

The old man immediately took out a money board, clapped his hands at the same time, chanted a spell, and a faint black smoke rose from his body.

The whole person's aura suddenly became strange.

The Yinshan Sect's method he practiced was somewhat similar to the divine strike, except that it sealed the evil spirit inside the body, thus enhancing both his martial arts and magic.

This method is quite powerful, but also comes at a high cost.

This is the ghost eye, which is the consequence of repeatedly casting spells. It makes it impossible for him to get close to the city. Both the land god and the city god temple regard him as a demon.

Helplessly, the grandparents and grandchildren could only go boating on the river for a long time.

Bang!

Before he could cast the spell, a pair of footprints appeared on the bow, frost spread, and the planks began to rot.

In just a moment, the old man was horrified to find that he could no longer move, and the same was true for the disciples on the boat.

"At that time the World-honored One emitted great light that illuminated the land of Yama..."

Just then, a faint voice came from the cabin.

It was the little grandson who consumed the Gangling and summoned the soldiers of the underworld, but his spell was obviously different from Li Yan's.

Soon, the surroundings fell into darkness.

Swish!
The footprints disappeared in an instant.

The old man and his disciples all regained control, all with terrified faces, observing the surrounding river surface.

Sun Tzu's underworld troops also seemed to have lost their target. They circled over the river and disappeared, losing a streak of orders in vain.

"Master, what...what is that?"

"I don't know. Send a message quickly. An evil demon has sneaked into Fengdu!"

What the old man didn't know was that this thing was a monster formed by the fusion of the residual soul and evil spirit of the Wushan Goddess Priestess.

Because of obsession, I followed him to Fengdu.

On the famous mountain, Li Yan also felt his scalp tingling, and a palace also appeared in front of him on the right.

The smell of blood hits my nose, like the roar of a river...
