Knife splashing

Chapter 459: Paijiao Dragon King Temple

After receiving the task, the thick fog immediately dissipated.

The Dragon Girl's power is magical. She can make people fall asleep silently. Even Li Yan can't figure out what's going on.

But the illusion created by Gou Die directly dispersed it.

When I opened my eyes, all the illusions disappeared.

Li Yan didn't care either, he had already received enough information.

The son of the Chongqing governor is not so bad, as he has been infected by evil spirits since childhood. The evil lord "Nu Cha" is very good at disguise, so he was not exposed until now.

And this matter seems to be set up by someone.

Plant a seed and wait for the evil flower to bloom.

What shocked Li Yan even more was the secret he overheard.

The Sage Master has been reincarnated...

Only after overcoming the disaster can one enter the Dharma Realm…

The disaster is related to Lord Jiangshen...

This incident completely overturned his three views.

Although Erlang Zhenjun is famous, he is just a secular god on earth. Whether he is Li Erlang or Yang Erlang, he is the result of the people's faith for thousands of years and does not really exist.

But this famous secular god was actually reincarnated!

You still have to go through hardships and become a god!

The same is true for the mysterious Lord of the Clouds. He was originally a natural cloud of thunder, born from incense and offerings, and he also has plans to reincarnate...

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly remembered Yu Longzi's words:

“Don’t seek truth in everything…”

Could it be that Yu Longzi also knew something?
No matter what, this is an opportunity.

Li Yan is not sure what to do yet.

But there are certainly huge benefits to be gained.

No wonder Yin Changsheng expended so much energy and did not leave behind his own inheritance, but only left behind two jade accessories.

This is a glimpse into the secrets of heaven!

Originally it was just a commission from the Dragon Girl. Even though there was the illusory Dragon Palace, Li Yan still regarded it as a trouble.

But now, we have to take it more seriously.

"Um…"

Just then, a faint groan was heard.

Li Yan came back to his senses and looked forward.

But one of them had woken up.

He was not a member of the Zhou family, nor was he a master of the Cao Gang, but a strong servant of the Zhou family.

Afterwards, several more servants woke up one after another.

Li Yan was puzzled and turned to look at Wang Daoxuan.

Wang Daoxuan seemed to be thinking about something, and whispered, "The targets of the spells are ranked in order. The main target of the Pai Cult is the Zhou family bloodline, followed by the Cao Gang and the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. These servants are just implicated."

“They have the best chance of survival.”

Just as Wang Daoxuan said, the Zhou family's servants woke up one after another. Although they were still weak and their eyes were confused, at least the curse was gone.

Afterwards, Han Kun and others also began to groan.

They have been practicing martial arts for many years, so they have a solid foundation after all.

But judging from his appearance, even if he managed to save his life, he would become a disabled person in the future, unable to use his kung fu, and would suffer from pain when it rained.

After seeing this, Li Yan just sighed slightly.

Although they are old friends, some things are self-inflicted. Judging from the information given by Wan Baoquan, Han Kun played a big role in helping the Zhou family find a sorcerer and giving advice to others to prevent disasters.

Back when he was in Manchuan Pass, Han Kun looked like he had seen through the world and was ready to retire from the underworld.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly become an elder and his temperament would change drastically as his ambitions arose.

Life is so unpredictable, and blessings and disasters are hard to predict.

As for the Chen family father and son, they all died.

Li Yan didn't know that all these things were done by this ambitious father and son, as well as the powerful Chen family behind them.

To him, they were just passers-by and he didn't care.

Finally, the evil aura dissipated.

The ritual was completely over, and the only ones who survived were some servants of the Chen family and a few disabled people including Han Kun.

Sharifei ran out of the house and waved.

Wan Baoquan was delighted and immediately led people into the house. Seeing Han Kun and others who were still unconscious, although he was happy, he was still a little anxious, "Everyone, when will they wake up?"

“No need to wait.”

Li Yan lowered his voice and said, "When I was doing the ritual just now, I had already used them to divine the whereabouts of the young master of the Du family."

Wan Baoquan was delighted and asked, "Where is it?"

"Paijiao, Dragon King Temple!"

…………

Another morning.

Although the thick fog that enveloped Chongqing Prefecture had dissipated, the sky was still overcast and a light rain was falling.

The autumn rain is continuous, soaking the fallen leaves and chilling the bones.

Just like the weather, there was also a gloom hanging over the hearts of the people of Chongqing Prefecture, and all kinds of absurd rumors were spreading.

What kind of demon disguises itself as a court official to eat people...

What about the governor of Chongqing using children to make elixirs...

Among them, people from the Shu Palace were indispensable in adding fuel to the fire.

The doors of every household were closed, peach branches were hung, and yellow talismans were pasted, not knowing whether they would work or not, just to seek peace of mind.

There were also some heroes who were unaware of the inside story. They cut off chicken heads, drank blood wine, and prepared to sneak into the government office and kill the governor's family.

To be honest, it was the Chongqing governor and his group who brought this upon themselves.

They were instructed by senior officials of the imperial court to come to Shuzhong with the purpose of checking and balancing the Shu Palace to avoid future chaos.

The purpose is fine, but the problem lies in the use of people.

Most of these officials had joined the Kaihai faction early on, and most of them were greedy for money. After arriving, they took over power and made money.

The officials at the Shu Palace are not good people either. Many of them have been dragged into the salt gang and have received a lot of dirty money.

But some things are just weird.

Most of these officials in the Shu Palace were locals. They were corrupt and harmed the national treasury. However, they were not considered too bad by the people of Shu and were considered their own people.

In comparison, those from outside are unpopular.

The anger that had been accumulating for a long time was finally completely ignited because of this incident.

Although the garrison sent soldiers to guard outside the government office and the houses of officials, they were still unable to stop the people from throwing manure.

In short, it was a mess.

Captain Liu Qian, under the guidance of his superior, finally understood his situation and completely turned into a mad dog, biting anyone, whether they were foreign officials or people from the Prince of Shu's Palace, as long as they disturbed Chongqing Prefecture.

It was because of this mad dog that Chongqing Prefecture did not fall into complete chaos.

And Liu Qian himself was about to collapse.

He knew that the only way to survive was to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, find a way to deal with the aftermath, and get the two sides to temporarily stop fighting.

"Sir, Captain Wan wants to see you!"

Just when he was getting annoyed, his subordinates suddenly came to report.

"Let him stay where it's cool!"

Liu Qian waved his hands impatiently.

He could hardly protect himself, let alone care about Emei's reputation.

Besides, the information given before was originally intended to set a trap for Wan Baoquan. He knew about Master Du's escape earlier.

"But, Captain Wan said he found the person."

"What? Go and invite me!"

…………

Soon, the entire Duwei Division began to move.

Not only that, even the troops in the garrison were mobilized, and even a few cannons and a team of musketeers were brought in.

When the governor of Chongqing got into trouble, the Duwei Division took over the entire situation, and other forces followed suit. As a result, Liu Qian, a small centurion, temporarily took control of the military power of Chongqing Prefecture.

Other forces also received the news at the same time.

Inside that secret old house.

The old man in the Confucian robes in the Shu Palace slowly put down the scroll and asked in surprise, "Did you go to the Dragon King Temple?"

"Yes."

The subordinate who came to report bowed respectfully and said, "Wan Baoquan found the Zhou family. Some leaders of the Cao Gang and the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce were cursed. The Emei masters rescued some people and got the information." "Right now, the Dragon King Temple has been surrounded. The mad dog Liu Qian directly ordered the shooting and killed many people..."

"Pai Jiao!"

The old man in Confucian robes snorted coldly, "I thought they were just implicated, but I didn't expect them to do such a big thing in secret..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes suddenly changed, uncertain, and then he said in a hurry: "Quick, let all our people leave, don't get involved in this matter anymore, eliminate all traces, and don't leave any handles behind!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Although the men didn't understand what was going on, seeing the old man was so anxious, they had to leave quickly to deal with it.

After he left, the old man still looked gloomy.

"Master, has something changed?"

The beautiful woman next to him asked in a low voice.

The old man in the Confucian robe was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I suddenly remembered something."

"Back then, a strange man came to the palace. He was eloquent and had great ideas. Everyone in the palace admired him. Even the prince had many late night talks with him."

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

"The other party once said that the Shu Palace has reached its peak and will sooner or later be feared by the imperial court. He left a hidden hand, called 'Wood and Earth without Sons'."

"I thought it was a joke at the time, but now I think, isn't 'Mu Tu' the same as 'Du'?"

The woman next to him was surprised and said, "That happened many years ago. Could it be that the other party had already figured out that the governor of Chongqing was Du Ling?"

“It’s not about calculation, it’s about operation!”

The old man's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A few days ago, a spy from the Duwei Division sneaked into the mansion, but was discovered by the Lord Changshi, who secretly lured him into revealing his purpose."

"They are here to look for a demon named Zhao Changsheng, who was the leader of the Ghost Cult of the Song Dynasty back then, and was the strange man who entered the palace at that time."

"Fortunately, this person left many years ago and has no contact with the palace anymore, so we were able to fool him."

The woman shook her head and said, "This is the demon's own decision. It has nothing to do with us."

The old man in the Confucian robe was silent for a moment, "Back then, the one who introduced this demon to the palace was none other than the leader of the Pai Sect, Huo Jiao, who relied on the relationship of the Second Young Master."

When the woman heard this, her face turned pale. "This is a critical moment. We must not implicate the Second Young Master."

"I know!"

The old man in the Confucian robe also had a gloomy look in his eyes. "Huo Jiao must die. We will return to Chengdu Prefecture afterwards."

"This matter is not simple. If the Second Young Master wants to obtain the position of Crown Prince, he must plan carefully to avoid falling into a trap..."

…………

"If you don't surrender, are you going to rebel?"

On the bank of the Jialing River, Liu Qian roared.

The river surface near the shore is densely packed with bamboo rafts, connected to each other, almost forming a small island. There are not only houses for the people, but also shops and chickens and ducks on it.

This is the Paijiao, or the people on the raft. They make a living by floating rafts all their lives and live on the water.

This kind of life is very hard.

It is common to be oppressed by the government and other forces along the way, so those who oppose religion are particularly united.

At this moment, many corpses have fallen on the river.

The blood dyed the river red.

Many of the religious men who tried to stop the imperial soldiers died. They didn't care about anything else and when they heard that they were going to capture their leader, they immediately drew their knives to resist.

However, times have changed.

These people are considered good at using knives, but in front of a whole row of musketeers, they are no different from ordinary people.

There were still many elderly, weak, women and children left, still standing in front.

Although they were afraid, they did not retreat.

When it comes to people, they are never short of blood.

"Woo~"

The sound of children crying was heard in the crowd, but the children's mouths were covered by adults in the blink of an eye, and they faced the officers and soldiers with angry eyes.

"Humph... you don't know how to appreciate my kindness."

Liu Qian looked at the Dragon King Temple in the distance, his eyes anxious, his face distorted, and he sneered, "Get ready!"

At the command, the soldiers of the garrison pulled out the cannons, quickly loaded them with gunpowder and projectiles, and raised torches.

Although these were not new artillery pieces, they used fragmentation projectiles, and one shot could cause immediate casualties among a large number of people.

"My lord, no!"

Seeing this, Wan Baoquan became anxious and hurried to stop him.

"Go away!"

Liu Qian's eyes were bloodshot at this moment. "If he runs away, I'm done for. Don't say any more nonsense to me..."

Before he could finish his words, his body stiffened.

Suddenly, a flying knife appeared and pressed against his neck.

"If you continue to mess around, I'll kill you first, you mad dog!"

A cold voice came from the crowd.

It was Li Yan who took action.

He originally thought that since the platoon had a large number of people, he should let the officers and soldiers disperse them first so that he would have a chance to go in and arrest people.

I didn't expect that the people who opposed the religion would be so stubborn.

What I didn't expect was that Liu Qian had become so crazy.

Flying sword?

Liu Qian didn't recognize the Soul-Severing Flying Knife, but after seeing this miraculous ability, he calmed down. However, in front of everyone, he couldn't save face and still said stubbornly, "Wan Baoquan, do you want to rebel?"

"Don't play that on me!"

Wan Baoquan was also a little angry. He ignored Liu Qian and walked out to the front of the formation, shouting, "Everyone, you should have heard of my name, Wan Baoquan. The matter of the demon in Chongqing Prefecture has caused panic among the people. The murderer is in the temple. I, Wan Baoquan, am not lying!"

"Think about your children. The river is full of wronged souls. If you let the monster run away, can you still stay here in peace?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people hesitated.

However, several angry voices rang out from the crowd:

"The government is all liars!"

"They killed so many of us, what else can we say!"

"Yes, this matter is not over yet!"

It was a few captains from the Paijiao team who were shouting among them.

"There's no time left. Hold the line for me!"

Li Yan looked at the Dragon King Temple in the distance, let out a low shout, then jumped up, exerted force on his feet, and rushed directly towards the crowd.

"Stop him!"

The people from the Paijiao sect shouted loudly.

However, those who were good at knife fighting had suffered heavy losses and were unable to stop Li Yan.

But Li Yan jumped directly over the crowd, exerted force with his feet, as if he could shrink the ground into an inch, and rushed directly towards the Dragon King Temple.

"rush!"

Seeing this, Liu Qian didn't have time to think about it and shouted, "Disperse them, those who are good at fighting follow me!"

After all, he was not a military general. When he saw Li Yan rushing through the crowd, the first thing that came to his mind was that he was afraid that the credit would be taken away by others.

Soon, the Paijiao people were dispersed, and a group of good fighters from the Duwei Division, as well as Sharifei, Lu San and others, also rushed to the Dragon King Temple.

Outside the temple, there are many Paijiao experts.

When they saw Li Yan coming, they drew their bows and shot arrows to stop him.

Li Yan kept moving, the knife in his hand flashing, and his feet stepped on the chain. He actually deflected all the arrows by himself.

However, it was delayed after all.

"Stop them!"

Liu Qian was secretly delighted. He gave an order and asked his men to clear the way for him. He then took two people with him, took out new firearms, and rushed into the temple.

"Silly bird!"

Li Yan cursed and ignored him.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Three gunshots were soon heard in the Dragon King Temple.

"Dragon head!"

Everyone in the Pai sect became very anxious.

However, they soon discovered something was wrong.

Suddenly, black fog rose in the Dragon King Temple.

Gulu!
Three heads rolled out, they were Liu Qian and others.

His eyes were still filled with fear and confusion.

Li Yan also stopped, quickly stepped back, and stopped Wan Baoquan, Sha Lifei and others.

He could feel that a dark and sinister consciousness was awakening in the Dragon King Temple...
