Knife splashing

Chapter 458 The Great Secret
"Boss, this..."

The yamen runners who followed suddenly felt overwhelmed.

They came here late at night, so they were definitely not idle.

Chongqing Governor Du Ling was also in a state of panic.

He didn't expect that after searching for a long time, he would find the person behind it, his gentle and peaceful son.

Now, Governor Du Ling has completely lost his spirit. He lies in bed, refusing to eat or drink, not talking to anyone, and is too lazy to argue anymore.

As for his son, he had long disappeared without a trace.

Wan Baoquan didn't catch anyone, so he had to come here to try his luck. Unexpectedly, everyone fell down before he could finish his words.

"Brother!"

His fellow apprentice rushed in from outside the door and said anxiously, "Everyone in the Zhou Mansion has collapsed and cannot be woken up."

Wan Baoquan nodded, without further ado, he turned and walked into the courtyard, bowed to the night sky and said: "Uncle Master, you have also seen that this involves Xuanmen, and you have to take action."

Call ~
A strong wind blew and a man fell into the yard.

It was Dan Hezi, the priest of the City God Temple.

He flicked his whisk, looked at Wan Baoquan and sighed, "This matter is too troublesome. I told you, Emei cannot get involved."

Wan Baoquan said with a smile: "Uncle Master, it's not that we want to interfere, but the demon is too much, he is so reckless, he doesn't take our Emei seriously at all."

"You see, such a big thing happened in the city, but no one went to the City God Temple to burn incense. Instead, they went to ask witches and sorcerers for help..."

Dan Hezi was silent for a moment, then said, "The magic that the Zhou family was hit by was not caused by the Du family, but by the Paijiao spell."

"They got involved in this fight, bet on the Cao Gang, offended the Pai Sect, and even approached me before. As a result, they harbored evil thoughts and asked the sorcerer to find innocent people to help ward off disaster."

As he spoke, he looked around and said thoughtfully, "It seems that a master has taken action to make them reap what they have sown."

"Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with the murderer."

"do not!"

Wan Baoquan was anxious, "Uncle Master, the murderer hasn't been found yet. They might be the only ones who know about it. We have to save him first."

"save?"

Dan Hezi glared, "If I had that ability, why would I be banished to this unfortunate place? Wouldn't it be better to practice in the mountains?"

"Look at what kind of trash they brought this time. If it was a lucrative job, how could it be my turn?"

"If you can't save him, find someone to collect his body!"

To be honest, Dan Hezi was also very angry.

Chongqing Prefecture is a place where two forces fight for supremacy. Even if they are able to gain control of it due to the mistake of Qingcheng Mountain, it will not be easy for them to gain a foothold.

Moreover, there is intrigue on Mount Emei.

He was pushed here to be a temple priest, and he was already unwilling to do so. During the day, he was in the government office and was complained by the governor Du Ling.

If he wasn't from the Wan Baoquan lineage and had a close relationship with him, he would have not bothered to get involved in this mess.

"this…"

Wan Baoquan had a bitter look on his face, and he bowed quickly, "Master, you can at least give me some advice. If we can't catch him, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"How about going to find Pai Jiao?"

"Think beautifully!"

Dan Hezi sneered: "What do you think the curse is?"

"This thing is like a dart that is released. If it can't hit anyone, it will backfire. If you want to remove the curse, you will have to pay a high price."

"If everyone in this world were so easy to talk to, why would there be so many fights?"

Seeing Dan Hezi getting angry, Wan Baoquan shrank his neck, looked around again, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Uncle Master, the one who set up the trap to make the Zhou family backfire must be a master, I wonder if it will work?"

After hearing this, Dan Hezi said thoughtfully: "You can give it a try. If you can do this, you must be a righteous person. I will go with you to avoid offending others by talking nonsense."

"Thank you, Master!"

Wan Baoquan quickly bowed, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

…………

"Brother, it's right here."

In less than three incense sticks, Wan Baoquan and his men found the old street.

His junior fellow apprentice whispered, "I have asked someone, and that Wu Ziban is staying here temporarily."

As he spoke, he pointed to an old house opposite.

Wan Baoquan nodded and was about to knock on the door when Dan Hezi beside him shook his head and said, "Don't look for him anymore. He's gone."

Before he finished speaking, his ears began to vibrate. He suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, while at the same time making hand gestures and exerting force with his feet.

Call ~
Suddenly, strong winds blew around.

Wan Baoquan looked up and saw that the old Taoist had already made two leaps on the roof, accompanied by the strong wind and falling leaves, and was heading northwest.

"Quick, follow up!"

Wan Baoquan gave an order and ran away with the yamen runners.

Dan Hezi was very fast, but fortunately Wan Bao was also very skilled. Although he didn't know any magic, he had explosive power under his feet and could also climb walls and fly over rooftops, following closely behind him.

Finally, he saw Dan Hezi stopped and stood on a high wall. He flicked his whisk and said with a smile, "Fellow Taoists, please don't misunderstand me. I am Dan Hezi of Emei and I have no ill intentions in this trip."

Wan Baoquan turned the corner and was also shocked.

In the dark streets, there stood a group of mysterious people wearing Nuo masks and wide robes. Their shadows were vague, like ghosts in the night.

so much!
Wan Baoquan was startled and quickly pressed the handle of the knife.

He originally thought he was looking for an expert, but with so many mysterious people hiding in Chongqing Prefecture, he naturally had doubts in his heart.

Dan Hezi gave him a sharp look, then he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, everyone. We just have some things we want to ask you, and we have no intention of prying into your details."

The people who were blocked in the alley were naturally Li Yan and his group.

Although they were well prepared, they were still surprised to be found so quickly and retreated in an orderly manner.

But after all, he was a burden and could not outrun the old Taoist.

Li Yan was ready to take action, with the Soul-Severing Flying Knife about to come out, but when he heard the old Taoist's words, he stopped and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to ask?"

Dan Hezi didn't take it seriously and smiled, "The Wu class was set up by the Zhou family to avoid disaster, but did you help them solve it?"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "So what?"

There's no point in denying it now that others have come to you.

"Please don't misunderstand..."

Wan Baoquan glanced at Dan Hezi and saw him nod. He quickly stepped forward and saluted, recounting the story, then begged:

"Please help me, otherwise the real murderer will go unpunished."

"Oh?"

After hearing what happened, Li Yan was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the culprit was the governor's son.

Seeing him hesitate, Wan Baoquan quickly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Although I am in the government, I also abide by the code of conduct."

"When you are in the martial world, you have no choice. You must have your own reasons for hiding your identities. As long as you solve this matter, I will personally send you away!"

Li Yan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

"I have only one condition. Don't let anyone else know about our existence."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Wan Baoquan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

To be honest, he was also very curious about the identities of Li Yan and others.

But there was nothing he could do since the other person wanted to hide his identity.

Chongqing Prefecture is now in chaos, with several forces at odds with each other. They are in the middle of it, bearing the name of Emei, but are the weakest.

Without help, many things will become passive...

…………

Half an hour later.

Outside the Zhou family mansion, the yamen runners were standing guard on all sides, holding the hilts of their knives and looking around with sharp eyes.

This time Wan Baoquan was really ruthless.

He didn't trust any of the other people in the yamen, so he brought only his fellow disciples with him.

"That's what happened..." In the main hall, Wan Baoquan recounted the details of what happened, and said with a folded hand: "The other people from the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce have been interrogated. They are just peripheral personnel. The people here are the leaders."

"We need to rescue the people first, at least leave one or two alive, otherwise we won't be able to find Du's whereabouts at all."

Even as they were talking, the condition of the people in the hall was getting worse and worse. Their bodies were swollen, their faces were blue, and they were even oozing black fluid.

These black waters are the manifestation of the curse.

Just like blood, once it dries up, people die.

Li Yan looked at Han Kun with mixed feelings, and shook his head, "It's impossible to find Paijiao. I can remove the curse, but who can survive depends on his luck."

He was not speaking nonsense.

The origin of this curse was unknown and it was extremely cruel. Even if he used the "Northern Emperor's Disaster-Removing Technique", it still consumed a lot of his energy.

The people in the Wu class were just implicated.

What was happening before his eyes were all curses accumulated over the past two days that erupted at the same time. He wasn't sure if he could save them.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Just one will do!"

Wan Baoquan was immediately overjoyed.

He had no good impression of either the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce or the people in the Prince of Shu's Palace. The key was to get them to confess.

"Well, please leave for now."

Li Yan spoke to Wan Baoquan.

"it is good!"

Wan Baoquan didn't say anything and immediately led everyone out of the Zhou family.

After they left, Li Yan made another gesture, and the others immediately understood. They took out various musical instruments and dispersed.

The woman from the Bai family was outside, while he and Wang Daoxuan were inside, busying themselves with enclosing the main hall, setting up the altar, and burning incense.

After three gong and drum sounds, the girl from the Bai family immediately started to dance the Nuo dance and sang a small opera in the obscure dialect.

Wan Baoquan, Dan Hezi and others watched from afar.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Wan Baoquan was a little confused.

“This is Yangxi.”

Dan Hezi stroked his beard thoughtfully and said, "It's both a ritual and a drama. It looks like a lantern drama. I've never heard of it..."

Most of the women in the Bai family are sorcerers, and there is also the master Bai Huan in charge. They say they are performing a show, but in fact they are setting up an array in the inner altar to conceal the aura.

Dan Hezi's Taoism is not as good as Bai Huan's, so of course he couldn't notice it.

In the main hall, Li Yan, with the help of Wang Daoxuan, stepped on the steps, pinched his fingers and chanted in a low voice: "Celebrate Jia! God saves people and strictly controls Beifeng. The God has received the order to sweep away all the bad luck..."

This time with the help of the Dharma altar, the movement is even bigger.

In an instant, the entire Zhou family was filled with a howling wind.

The sounds of gongs and drums, opera singing, and the wind mixed together, but there was a wisp of green smoke rising up and lingering for a long time.

Especially now that autumn has arrived, the fallen leaves on the ground have been blown up, and it looks like there is quite a lot of noise.

Wan Baoquan and others widened their eyes.

To be honest, they were just lay disciples of Emei, roaming around in the martial arts world. They had never seen magic of this level before.

"He is indeed a master..."

Dan Hezi also stroked his beard and nodded, his expression solemn.

The aura of "Northern Emperor's Technique to Eliminate Disasters" was concealed by the Bai family's witchcraft, and he couldn't understand it, so he just thought it was the effect of a yang play.

He had also seen this kind of opera troupe that often wore Nuo masks to practice, but he thought they were all folk tricks and nothing surprising.

But this commotion was far beyond his expectations.

Inside the main room, as the strong wind swirled, the evil energy, along with a strong stench of fish and shrimp, turned into black smoke and dissipated from the practitioner's body.

After seeing this, Li Yan nodded slightly.

The effect seemed to be better than he expected.

"Roar--!"

At this moment, a wild beast's howl suddenly sounded in his ears, which sounded very much like the trapped dragon, but with a hint of eeriness.

The dispersed black smoke seemed to have regained its backbone, gathered together again, and drilled into the bodies of the people on the ground.

The dragon-patterned jade sceptre in his arms was also shaking wildly.

Something is wrong!

Li Yan's heart suddenly trembled.

He originally thought that the Dragon King of Paijiao had only accidentally obtained the ancient magical tools of the Dragon Palace and Water Palace, and was contaminated with the aura of Lord Jiangshen.

This was one of the reasons why he agreed to come.

Now that Chongqing Prefecture is in chaos, it is a good opportunity for him to make use of the power of Emei, fish in troubled waters secretly, obtain the "Dragon Snake Card" and leave.

Now it seems that the Dragon King of Paijiao still has some secrets hidden...

Before he could react, there was a white mist all around, Wang Daoxuan and others disappeared, and a large amount of water appeared on the ground.

This is a sign from the Dragon Girl in her dream.

Sure enough, a pair of jade arms surrounded him from behind, and at the same time, light and shadow flashed before his eyes, and an illusion appeared:
It was the main hall of a temple, not very large, surrounded by the smoke of incense, and enshrined a statue of a god with a dragon head and a human body.

A burly man with a white beard knelt in front of the statue, holding an ancient jade disk, kowtowing and chanting incantations.

The jade disk had a strange shape, in the shape of a ring, with dragons and snakes entwined on the left and right, and covered with colorful patterns.

Moreover, the texture is exactly the same as the jade sceptre that the Dragon Girl gave him.

Next to the big man, there was a young man sitting cross-legged. He had a pale face, lipstick on his lips, and gorgeous clothes, which gave people an inexplicable sense of charm.

hum!
The hook in his arms also suddenly trembled.

Why are you all here?!

Li Yan was suddenly speechless.

However, he also vaguely guessed that the young man was most likely the missing young master of the Du family, and it seemed that he had absorbed demonic energy.

Naturally, the Dragon Girl's abilities are not as good as those of the underworld.

Thick fog filled Li Yan's eyes again.

This is the underworld issuing tasks.

Although they arrived at the same time, he would not miss the opportunity and hurried forward.

Today's Gou Die has extraordinary sensing capabilities.

Pushing aside the light mist, he saw the tall owl statue again.

After passing through, the surrounding scene quickly became larger.

Looking into the distance, it was still the huge square table, but there was a blurry figure next to it, who seemed to be wearing a strange official robe.

Then, I heard the conversation between two people:
"Found another one!"

"who is it?"

"Female fork!"

"Well, issue the order and arrest him as soon as possible."

"My Lord, I can still sense the aura of Lord Jiangshen..."

"This matter has nothing to do with us. The Heavenly Law has ordered that we must not interfere with the destiny of the human world. Ordinary gods will have their own disasters. Xiansheng Zhenjun has been reincarnated. Whether he can enter the Dharma Realm depends entirely on his luck..."

Immediately, the blood in the black well in front of him began to boil.

Information about the "female fork" came into view.

Nvcha, a demon from an ancient tribe, looks like a vulgar and vicious woman, dressed in green, likes to hide in the belly of a child, stealing his yang energy and soul...

The reasons for fleeing also became apparent one by one.

Chongqing Governor Du Ling, who loves antiques all his life, accepted a large gift to do his job, but he didn't know that there was a demonic spirit inside, which entered his young son's belly...

And the person who gave the gift obviously had ulterior motives.

Of course, Li Yan didn’t have time to deal with all this.

The reincarnation of the Holy Lord, the Dharma Realm, the catastrophe...

He seemed to have overheard a great secret!
