Chapter 450: Relics of the Earthly Immortal

When I opened the bag, I found there wasn't much in it.

It's very simple. There are no storage rings in this world. When performing spells, there are too many magical instruments to choose from, so you can only make choices.

As traveling immortals, Li Yan and his companions usually carry everything with them. Even if they try to simplify their luggage, they still accumulate a lot of luggage over a long period of time.

The three Wushan immortals must have other hiding places, but they are dead and those things are ownerless.

This is also the reason why Taoist scriptures and magical instruments are occasionally discovered in caves deep in the mountains, creating a legend.

The first is the "Ruyi Jewel".

This item is also wrapped in red cloth and talismans are used to conceal its aura. Because it is somewhat conspicuous, it can only be used at critical moments.

Li Yan carefully put it aside and picked up two more knives.

This was left by the one-eyed Taoist priest.

All we know about this person is that his last name is "Lin" and that he learned the magic of Tongtian Sect. We know nothing else.

The other party should have used the method of taking over another person's body, and when he died, he obtained the body of another person, barely survived, and hid in Wushan to become an earthly immortal.

A pair of short knives, both inky black in color, with rough blades and many pores on them. When held in the hands, an evil aura was overwhelming.

Li Yan happened to have seen the material of this material in Huashan.

This thing is called "ghost iron". It was originally a meteorite from the sky. By chance, it fell into a grave or some deep valley or dark place, and it became this iron over time.

It can be used to ward off ghosts, perform Yin curses and other negative magic.

This thing can be considered a treasure, but it is not suitable for them. It is better to keep it and exchange it when the treasure cellar of Qingcheng Mountain is opened.

There are quite a lot of things to do this time when I came to Shuzhong.

One is to attend the "Huangquan" organization meeting and look for Yin Changsheng's inheritance. The Fengdu trip has been settled, and we will only have to wait until the twelfth lunar month to return and attend the gathering to see what benefits we can get.

The second is to help the Dragon Girl find out the reason for Lord Jiangshen's unusual behavior. There is no clue so far, but it is very likely related to the ancient Dragon Palace and Water Mansion.

This is also one of the reasons for the chaos in the underworld of Shu.

The third is to go to Qingcheng Mountain, firstly to forge magical instruments, and secondly to make arrangements in advance and participate in the cellar opening ceremony held after the New Year.

What remains are some miscellaneous tasks.

For example, escorting the Bai family to Qingcheng, or going to some areas to help Wang Jingxiu find precious medicine.

In addition, there are two more treasures.

One is the reward from the Bai family. Siming will have a small cave cellar in Shu. Although it is not a world-shaking treasure, it is very old and the things hidden in it can be used for exchange in Qingcheng Mountain.

After all, it is more appropriate to barter when the cellar is opened.

If they had used silver, they simply could not afford it.

There is also the reward from Qingniu Temple, where there are several hidden treasures from heaven and earth. You need to find a treasure hunter to help you get the treasures.

This is one of the reasons why they came to Chongqing.

Thinking of this, Li Yan put the dagger in his hand aside.

This was the most valuable thing on the one-eyed Taoist priest. The rest were just odds and ends, which were all given to Meng Changgui.

The key is Wang Mengsheng and the items on the body of the Saint of Scent.

Wang Mengsheng carried two books with him, one was called "Yi Chen" and the other was called "Luo Wei", both of which were books of prophecies whose names had never been heard of before.

According to the old woman Bai Huan, Wang Mengsheng hid in the "Jinghuang Cave" in Wushan to practice. Emperor Wu of Liang once stored books there, and Emperor Minghuang of Tang also took shelter there to avoid the An-Shi Rebellion.

Maybe it is a rare secret book left in the palace.

Li Yan opened it and read it carefully.

"Yi Chen" is a prophecy diagram that draws a chart of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes and corresponds them to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, as well as the theory of the Five Elements and Six Qi. It contains both predictions and some strange magic.

"Luo Wei" is another interpretation of Luoshu, which is mostly related to gods and ghosts, and is interspersed with certain spells.

Li Yan was completely confused and couldn't understand it at all. He could only put it away and then give it to Wang Daoxuan to comprehend.

The art of prophecies and divination is a forbidden art in Confucianism, but it involves considerable imagination and power.

As for the Saint of the Scent of Fragrance Sect, apart from some secretly refined scented powder used to perform magic, only a scroll was left.

The scroll is very old and seems to be made of human skin. It is colorful and depicts some strange gods. It is obviously a Tantric Buddhist item.

Not only that, there is also a murderous aura lingering around it. If you stare at it for a while, you will see all kinds of illusions before your eyes.

This kind of scripture-like magical instrument was the first time Li Yan had seen it.

If you meet a Buddhist master, you might be able to ask him.

After putting away and sorting the things, Li Yan shook his head slightly.

This time, I suffered some losses.

Although he killed the master of Qingniu Temple and captured the evil spirit, and obtained a Gangling and a Shengang, he used another Gangling when he killed the two immortals of Wushan.

The situation was urgent at the time and he had no time to accept the mission, so he risked his life to kill the earth immortal, but he did not receive the reward from the underworld.

On the contrary, Meng Changgui got a bargain.

You know, there aren't many opportunities like this.

The living ghost is the nemesis of the earthly immortals and the returning dead. No matter how high your level of Taoism is, as long as you are not stronger than this god, once you encounter it, you will be seeking death.

Therefore, earthly immortals rarely show up in front of the living ghost messenger.

If you want to deal with it, you usually find a disciple from the sect, or a master of the Xuanmen, or even a more powerful killer, who can kill the living Yincha.

To put it bluntly, it's the relationship between the sticks, the tiger and the chicken.

The current situation is caused by checks and balances.

It would be extremely difficult to find such an opportunity again.

But he was not without gains.

The "Ruyi Pearl" can only be regarded as an external object. What really surprised Li Yan was that the Daluo Dharma body was finally upgraded again.

It was originally in the shape of broken stone, then it became ceramic-like, becoming more and more exquisite, and now, it has a metallic luster!
Li Yan concentrated his mind and looked inward, carefully observing the Daluo Dharma body.

After the Daluo Dharmakaya was upgraded, its color began to dim, like the black iron statues in the temples.

The Hook Seal was on his left palm, his arms were wrapped with soul-hooking chains, he sat cross-legged with his fingers pinched, his facial features became clearer and clearer, exactly like him.

The only difference is that there are two lotus petals on the lotus seat below, the outline of which is outlined by gold thread and is extremely obvious.

This happened in a village near Wushan. It appeared after absorbing the blessings of the "divine cloth" and can also enhance the strength of the Dharma body.

As for what other functions there are, the number is too small to be shown.

After seeing this, Li Yan was thoughtful.

There are so many secrets of this Daluo Dharmakaya, and it is very likely related to the mysterious Daluo Dharma Realm.

Unfortunately, even the Daluo Dharma Realm is a secret of heaven and earth, let alone the Daluo Dharma Body. It is estimated that no one has ever heard of it.

How many secrets are hidden in this world...

Although it is confusing, it does not hinder its use.

Li Yan pondered for a moment, shook his right hand, and burst out with hidden strength, and suddenly he slapped himself on the chest.

At the same time, the fascia in the body vibrates and trembles, quickly dissolving and transferring this force into the feet.

Click!

The bricks and stones under my feet shattered instantly.

Immortal Seal!

This martial arts method, which was originally created as a whim, now has a complete framework and can transfer the force that attacks the body.

It can both relieve force and use the force to counter force.

But this is just the beginning. If the enemy attacks at the same time, several different forces will hit the body and there will be no time to resolve them.

If you want to master it thoroughly, you can only practice hard and continuously to form strong instincts, so that your mind and body can move as your heart desires, and then you can resolve it.

Going a step further is to turn it into martial arts.

Since entering the martial arts world, Li Yan has experienced many battles, and countless masters have died at his hands. He has thoroughly understood one truth: no matter how high your martial arts skills are or how sharp your magic is, the one who can survive the battle is the winner.

When you are in the world, you will inevitably get hurt.

Relying solely on the Daluo Dharmakaya, sooner or later one will encounter an irresistible force, and three lives will not be enough to squander.

Therefore, it is essential to take steps to save your life.

This Immortal Seal is the aid to the Daluo Dharmakaya.

Mistakes were inevitable during previous practice, and cracks appeared in the Daluo Dharmakaya. If faced with a crucial battle, one might even lose his life.

Now that the strength of Daluo's Dharma body has increased, it means that he can withstand more damage, and the practice of the Immortal Seal can also be accelerated!

Also, the Three-Story Tower of Taoism is worthy of being the pinnacle of mortals.

From here on, even for him, the speed of cultivation slowed down significantly, and he was still a long way from reaching the fourth floor.

The practice of magic cannot be neglected. It seems that I have to find some evil places on the road and practice with the help of "Beidi Luofeng Sutra".

Thinking of this, Li Yan took out the Sichuan map and drew on it, trying to open the Bai family treasure house before rushing to Chengdu, and find a few places to practice along the way...

…………

Before we knew it, it was almost dusk.

Chongqing Prefecture is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. It is a famous foggy city with frequent heavy fog, especially in autumn and winter.

It was a rare sunny day at noon, but in the afternoon, thick fog rose again, bringing with it a chilly and damp air that penetrated into the bone marrow.

Because of the heavy fog, it got dark early.

Inside the courtyard, Sharifei, Wuba and Lu San had cleared the weeds, found a lot of firewood, and lit a bonfire.

The fire crackled, dispelling the coldness around.

"Come on, Wuba, come with me to borrow some water!"

Sharifei shouted, and Wuba immediately picked up the big pot and followed him out the door.

The well water at the back had been contaminated by the corpses. Although Wang Daoxuan performed a ritual to dispel the bad luck, the water was obviously not drinkable.

Li Yan happened to be out at that time and did not stop him after seeing it.

Lu San has used rats to monitor this area.

Half of the houses are empty. Most of the artists who live here are ordinary people. Occasionally there are some exceptions, who are just novice sorcerers.

To them, it's not worth mentioning.

Li Yan first found Wang Daoxuan.

The Taoist was wandering around the yard, thinking of setting up a simple Feng Shui formation to avoid being spied on by anything.

"Master, follow me."

Li Yan gave a look and took Wang Daoxuan into the room and handed all the ancient books to him.

"The Book of Changes and the Book of Luo Wei?"

After Wang Daoxuan took it, he was surprised and said, "I have never heard of it. Is it Wang Mengsheng?"

Li Yan was searching for corpses at that time. Although Chongxuzi and others from Qingniu Temple were there, he acted quickly and others did not notice at all.

He was able to kill the earth immortal all by himself, so this was not just wealth, so naturally not everyone could have a share.

Like him, Wang Daoxuan frowned after flipping through it for a few seconds. "It is indeed the art of prophecy and divination. This method is notoriously difficult. Even a master of Confucianism may not be able to learn it."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Master, you can try to comprehend it first. If you really can't learn it, we can see how to deal with it."

"Alright."

Wang Daoxuan was already immersed in the book and replied without even raising his head.

Li Yan didn't care. He turned around and left the room, and went to the several dilapidated rooms nearby where the Bai family was stationed.

The Bai family's disciples practiced witchcraft, but due to their aptitude issues, they all suffered backlash to varying degrees, and many of them developed pustules on their faces.

After all, women love beauty. Even in the yard, they still cover their faces with white veils and prepare the ingredients bought from Luoluo Village.

"Cough cough!"

A weak cough came from the side room.

With a creak, the old woman Bai Huan pushed the door open and walked out. She just happened to see Li Yan, nodded slightly, and motioned him to follow her.

When the two of them arrived at another small courtyard, Li Yan couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what's going on with this Miss Long? From what she said, she wants to go with us?"

They had already seen through the other party's thoughts long ago.

This time, Long Yan'er made great efforts to kill the earth immortal, and even lost her own golden silkworm Gu. Naturally, Li Yan could no longer pretend to be ignorant.

"Ah~"

The old lady Bai Huan sighed, looked at the weeds in the yard, and shook her head, saying, "She is also a poor child. Her family was killed by bandits when she was young, and she had to survive alone in the barren mountains."

"If it weren't for his master and senior brother, he would have been eaten by wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. After joining the Gu Sect, he was loved because of his amazing talent."

"You also know what happened later. The Yang family of Bozhou set up a trap, and the Gu Cult was in turmoil. Her senior brothers and master were all killed, and they were transformed into Gu corpses using evil methods. They can't rest in peace even after death."

"The Yang family in Bozhou is very wealthy and powerful, with many Xuanmen masters under their command. Not only the Gu Sect, but also several Dharma lineages have surrendered. How can a little girl like her afford to offend them?"

"She came to me for two reasons, firstly, to seek refuge, and secondly, to ask me to help my senior brother and master to transcend. But my Bai family is also in a difficult situation, so how can I do that?"

"The Bai family will be able to obtain protection in Chengdu, but they will eventually change their affiliation. I will help guard the mountain gate, and the disciples must also abide by the rules and enter the Taoist sect from now on."

"Perhaps you are the only ones who can help her."

"I see…"

Li Yan frowned, "This Miss Long is indeed pitiful, but Senior thinks too highly of us. We can't afford to offend the Yang family of Bozhou."

“No need to be an enemy.”

The old woman Bai Huan said, "No matter how powerful the Yang family is, it is nothing in the eyes of the imperial court. Now that the army is heading south, it will be defeated sooner or later."

"When the time comes, we can find the body and bury it."

"There's no rush for this, let's talk about it later..."

Li Yan shook his head slightly and did not agree immediately.

He is well-known for his integrity, but he must also be cautious and not make promises lightly.

After all, they are a team, and he will only consider it if everyone else agrees.

"I understand."

Bai Huan was not surprised, he shook his head and said: "Long Wa Zi has lost her life Gu, and the Gu technique that she has practiced for many years can no longer suppress it. I will try to find a way to save her life first..."

Just as they were talking, the gate of the courtyard opened with a loud noise.

"The water is coming, the water is coming!"

But Sharifei was leading the way, and Wu Ba, like a king carrying a tripod, walked into the yard with heavy steps, carrying a large iron pot full of water, and slowly put it on the ground.

The women of the Bai family hurried forward to get water to wash the vegetables.

They worked efficiently, washing the pork elbows, potatoes, dried tofu, etc., and putting them into the pot to stew them together.

Needless to say, the cooking skills of the women of the Bai family are excellent. Although it is a hodgepodge, the aroma fills the whole yard.

Everyone gathered around the fire, eating a bowl of hot food, which dispelled the fatigue of the journey and the cold of the autumn night.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Just then, several servants came running down the street outside, holding gongs and drums in their hands and beating them rapidly.

The young man in the lead shouted, "Everyone, I'm from the Zhou family in North City. There's a funeral at home, so I'm going to set up a theater tonight. I want a Sichuan opera troupe, and I'll double the reward!"

Squeak!

The doors of all the courtyards where nearby opera troupes were stationed were opened.

There are two Sichuan opera troupes here, but they just look like they are watching the fun and no one pays any attention to them.

There was a group of opera troupes on the opposite side, and the man in the lead said jokingly: "You fool, you are not honest."

"It's so urgent in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary play..."
