Knife splashing

Chapter 471 Chengdu Longquanyi

Where did this thief come from...

Li Yan picked up a chopstick on the table and was about to shoot it out into the air, but he narrowed his eyes and stopped.

Longquanyi is a place where all kinds of people gather, and Kong Kong'er is naturally indispensable.

The person hiding on the roof was just a half-grown child, weak and unstable. He was probably very hungry, so he came to steal...

Thinking of this, Li Yan went to the corner, took out the uneaten dry food from his luggage, went to the window and threw it up casually.

Swish!
On the roof, a pitch-black little hand grabbed the dry food bag, and then a weak voice came, "Sorry... sorry to bother you, thank you, hero."

Soon, the messy footsteps quickly disappeared.

Li Yan shook his head slightly, pushed the door open, and went to a nearby room. He first hung the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Money Knife Tassel on the door, and then asked, "Senior, is there any news over there?"

In the room were Bai Huan, Long Yaner, and two girls, Wu Chaoyun and Wu Xingyu.

"Young Master Li is kind-hearted."

Bai Huan obviously noticed what happened before, and he praised him first, then said, "The disciple who went to deliver the message has returned."

As he spoke, he looked at his two granddaughters with eyes full of love, "Master Xiaoyue thinks highly of Chaoyun and Xingyu. He was busy with the battle between good and evil before, and now that he knows about us, he has personally brought people here."

Li Yan seemed to be thinking, "Is there any other intention?"

Chaoyun and Xingyu were the plotters of the Siming Society, who arranged for Bai Huan's daughter and Gu Cult's senior brother Long Yan'er to be impregnated in Wushan.

Not only are they the physical bodies prepared for the reincarnation of the Goddess of Wushan, they also each have a "divine power" in their bodies.

The "Shengang" thing can be used to enhance supernatural powers, whether it is the supernatural powers of the six yang roots or the supernatural powers of the Dharma Realm, as long as one knows the method.

Although it is dangerous, it is inevitable that some people will covet it.

"never mind."

Bai Huan's face was full of relief, "Chao Yun, Xing Yu, you have successfully concentrated your spirit and absorbed all of the divine energy."

Li Yan immediately understood and nodded, "Congratulations."

These two girls have extraordinary identities and are born with spiritual talents. They have awakened their supernatural powers at a very young age, but they have not yet concentrated on practicing.

After successfully absorbing the divine power, his supernatural powers became even stronger and he progressed much earlier than his peers. He can be considered a natural cultivator.

Any one of these people has the opportunity to become the sect's pillar. No wonder Zen Master Xiaoyue came here in person.

The two girls spoke very little on the way. It turned out that Bai Huan had been teaching them secretly, and was obviously also on guard against them.

Li Yan didn't care.

No matter how good the relationship is, everyone has life and death secrets.

When Bai Huan saw some things on the road, he didn't ask too many questions, and they naturally wouldn't pry into other people's secrets casually.

Thinking of this, Li Yan looked at Long Yan'er next to him and said, "Miss Long, what are you going to do? Do you need my help?"

Long Yaner hesitated for a moment and shook her head slightly.

Li Yan said solemnly, "No need to be polite. If you hadn't encountered the disaster, we would have been family members. If you can help, just ask."

He still couldn't understand how Long Yan'er and Sha Lifei, two people who had nothing in common, could fall in love with each other.

Maybe it's because we share the same suffering?
No matter what, it's a good thing, and we should naturally try our best to find a way to get the two of them together in the end.

A trace of relief flashed in the old woman Bai Huan's eyes, and she said, "Young Master Li, don't worry too much. Yan'er and I have already thought of a solution."

"As the saying goes, one must put oneself in a desperate situation in order to survive. If one wants to condense the life Gu again, one must put oneself in a desperate situation."

"Near Qingcheng Mountain, there is the Xiling Snow Mountain, with three sides standing thousands of feet high. In winter, the snow is as white as silver. Yan'er is now at the second level of Taoism. If we build a building there, if we succeed, we can take the opportunity to condense our life Gu."

"The only thing is that the materials for refining the Gu are not complete."

Li Yan became interested. "The one with 'The Window Contains the Thousand-Year Snow on the Western Hills' is indeed a treasure land. What else do you need?"

"A rare poisonous alien insect."

Bai Huan said as he took out a few pottery jars from the side, "My Bai family's sesame worms and Yan'er's own several kinds of poisonous worms, although rare, they are still not good enough."

"I have been traveling all this time, but I haven't found a chance to ask. Longquanyi is a place where all kinds of people gather. Maybe someone knows the news."

"Easy to say."

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Since Zen Master Xiaoyue hasn't arrived yet, I will go and ask around. Everyone, take care of yourselves and take action when it's time."

After saying that, he clasped his fists and left.

Watching him leave, Bai Huan looked at Long Yan'er again and said with a smile: "I have a good eye for people. If you don't want to go to Qingcheng Mountain, you can follow them from now on so that they can take care of you."

Long Yaner shook her head and said, "Let's survive first."

Bai Huan gently held her hand and said with a firm look, "It will definitely work. We have experienced so much hardship, so we must not lose heart in this last step."

"Besides, I want to see your baby."

Long Yan'er was stunned. "What are you talking about?"

The old lady Bai Huan laughed dumbly and stopped talking...

…………

After leaving the inn, I heard noise from afar.

In Longquanyi, naturally, outsiders would not approach the station. Even if it was open, only big chambers of commerce were qualified to live there.

There were no high-end places like the inns, coach houses, teahouses and taverns around. Most of them had adobe walls and thatched roofs.

Although it is dilapidated, it is lively enough.

Li Yan lowered his hat and looked around. Seeing nothing unusual, he walked casually through the streets and alleys to check.

After searching around, he frowned slightly.

For some reason, there is no inn here.

If you want to find some exotic poisonous insect, ordinary people in the world definitely don’t know, so you may have to ask the local sorcerer.

Despite this, he still found the busiest tavern.

Xuanmen belongs to Xuanmen, and the information about Chengdu Prefecture cannot be missed. After all, all the teams will come here later, so we should have an idea in mind first.

As soon as I opened the door curtain, the noise immediately hit me.

This is a typical Sichuan tavern, divided into two floors, supported by rough wooden beams and pillars, and the blue bricks on the ground have long been uneven.

There was a tiger stove burning inside and a big teapot was bubbling.

Looking around, there are square tables and benches everywhere.

It was very lively inside, with people from the carriage shops passing by, drinking and playing finger-guessing games together, and people from the underworld eating meat and chatting.

There was even a group of soldiers from the garrison who were arm in arm, telling dirty jokes, and were already drunk.

"One heart respects, two reds are joyful!"

"Five top leaders, seven clever ones!"

The sounds of finger-guessing and drinking games came one after another.

Li Yan frowned slightly and found a corner to sit down.

Needless to say, the drinking culture in Shu is very popular.

Since the time of the Shu kings Cancong, Yufu, Duyu and others, winemaking has been on a large scale. In the Tang Dynasty, there was "Jiannan Shaochun", in the Song Dynasty there were "Ehuang Wine" and "Litchi Green", and nowadays there are the "Five Golden Flowers" that are intoxicating people from all over the country.

People here also like to drink.

On New Year's Eve, people drink "family reunion wine", when relatives gather, they drink "spring wine", when planting rice, they drink "rice planting wine" and "harvest wine", on Dragon Boat Festival, they drink "realgar wine", on Mid-Autumn Festival, they drink "moon wine"...

Anyway, there is always a reason to drink all year round.

To the extent that, locally, “treating someone to a meal” means “treating someone to a drink.”

There are also some rules for drinking wine.

Don't drink new wine, as it can make people sick.

Don't drink cold wine because it hurts your stomach.

If you don't drink enough wine, you should always have some snacks to go with it.

Finally, you should drink slowly, raise the glass slowly, and sip slowly.

Two taels is best, and paired with tea, you can start chatting, no matter whether you are talking about anything under the sun or talking nonsense, the day will pass happily anyway.

Although Li Yan was not from Shu, he appreciated this drinking custom very much. He ordered two liang of wine, paired with beef and peanuts, and asked the waiter to make a pot of tea. He drank a sip of wine and a sip of tea, which was quite leisurely and comfortable.

He seemed to be drinking by himself, but he was secretly practicing some magic. His ears moved occasionally, and he could hear all the sounds of the entire inn.

"Brother, today is all thanks to you!"

"What are you talking about? Come on, do it!"

These are the soldiers from the garrison talking about their brotherhood.

"Master, can we enter the Lantern Festival this year?"

"I found someone from the Changchun Society, but it's not easy to deal with it..."

This is a street performer from outside the area.

"What's that wind blowing from the west?"

"I took the box and kicked the fire..."

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

These are two young men drinking and chatting in code.

At first glance, he is obviously a rookie in the industry.

As the saying goes, "Don't talk nonsense to anyone you meet." Only fools would talk nonsense and reveal their secrets when there is no need.

Newbies who have just entered the world of business love to do this kind of stupid things.

Although most of the information was useless, after listening for a while, Li Yan was able to analyze some intelligence.

Chengdu is now relatively stable.

Because of the incident in Chongqing Prefecture, the imperial court was furious and the King of Shu was ordered to reflect at home and would not show up until the end of the year.

It is now the end of October and not far from the first lunar month. Many things in the entire Chengdu Prefecture are related to this.

Chengdu Lantern Festival, Flower Festival, and Qingyang Palace Temple Fair.

From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, there are many festivals, big and small.

Therefore, a large number of caravans and street performers also flocked to the area.

After listening for a while, Li Yan found it boring.

This information is basically useless.

Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go back to practice, and then get information directly from Xuanmen.

He happened to know a Taoist priest in Qingyang Palace, who was the one who suppressed the Dragon Girl in Longtan Village.

I think I have returned to Qingyang Palace now...

Just as he was about to get up and leave, his ears suddenly moved slightly, and he stopped and listened carefully.

I only heard two people talking in a private room on the second floor.

"Are you sure they'll come tonight?"

"The news from the palace..."

"Brother, if we do this, we will offend the Huangling Sect."

"So what if we've offended each other? Is there any way back..."

Li Yan took a sip of wine, thoughtful.

He also heard some of the things in Chongqing Prefecture.

One of the main reasons why the emperor was confident in the King of Shu was that the King of Shu was old, and he also suffered a hidden injury on the battlefield when he was young, so he probably wouldn't live long.

After all, they are the closest brothers, and even if the other party does something out of line, the emperor will turn a blind eye.

It doesn't make sense that after being close for a lifetime, you would become enemies when you grow old.

But there was also unrest in the Prince of Shu's mansion.

The King of Shu has not yet decided on the candidate for the Crown Prince, which has aroused concerns among several princes, who have been fighting secretly.

The Second Prince was involved in the Chongqing Prefecture affair. He originally wanted to take the lead, but he ran into bad luck and was beaten with a stick in public outside the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

The gangs and chambers of commerce in Chongqing Prefecture all have the shadows of these princes behind them, and they often fight with each other.

As for Qingcheng and Emei, they do not get involved in these matters.

The Huangling School is also one of the five schools of Emei, but unlike the other schools, they are not based in the mountains, but are rooted in Chengdu Prefecture.

The City God Temple in Chengdu Prefecture is under their management.

Could it be that the Huangling sect is also involved in this mess?

If that's the case, we can't go to Chenghuang Temple...

Just as Li Yan was lost in thought, two people upstairs paid their bill and walked down the stairs. They were a pair of twin brothers.

They were dressed in coarse cloth, with flesh on their faces. They also carried pistols on their backs, which were wrapped with cloth to cover them.

The most special thing is the hair.

Although their hair has grown a little, people with good eyesight can see the nine scars from the ordination ceremony under their hair.

When receiving the precepts, one lights incense on the head, which is a lifelong vow.

There is also a saying about the number of scars on one's body.

One is for "pure heart", representing the initial entry into Buddhism.

Two are for happiness, three are for wisdom, four are for compassion, five are for forbearance, six are for diligence, seven are for meditation, eight are for equality and nine are for perfection.

Further up, it is very rare.

It is said that Bodhidharma or the Sixth Patriarch had ten scars from his precepts.

The legendary twelve ring scars,
It means the highest "Bodhisattva precepts" among the precepts.

He has nine scars from his ordination, indicating that he is an authentic Buddhist disciple. He also has long hair, so he must have left the temple and returned to secular life...

After the twin monks went downstairs, they looked around with sharp eyes. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, they strode out of the door.

After they left, Li Yan raised his head, thought for a moment, put down a few copper coins, and followed them out the door.

There's nothing to do anyway, so why not see what the two monks are up to?

These two monks are not sorcerers, but their skills are extremely superb. They have reached the peak of dark energy and are only one step away from transformation energy.

After they went out, they deliberately walked around a few times before striding towards Longquan Mountain.

The two of them didn't notice at all that a breeze blew gently on the grass behind them, leaving faint footprints.

With Li Yan's current Xuanshui escape technique, ordinary sorcerers cannot detect him at all. In addition, he carries the "Dragon Snake Card" to conceal his entire aura, so even if the Yin soldiers are sent to patrol the mountain, they will not be able to find him.

Tracking the two monks was naturally easy.

Longquan Mountain is not far from Longquanyi. It is the only way to enter Chengdu from outside, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Ancient Road is located there.

But these two men did not take the official road. Instead, they walked along the nearby grass, with their feet bursting with hidden strength, lowering their bodies, and walking quickly, like two leopards.

He is from the Buddhist sect...

After seeing this, Li Yan became even more curious.

He recognized the backgrounds of these two people. They were the "monks" headed by the eighth leaf among the "Five Flowers and Eight Leaves" of Emei.

It is famous among monks and is said to have been founded by Zen Master Baiyun of the Song Dynasty.

Zen Master Baiyun lived among all kinds of animals in the mountains. He carefully studied the movements of these spiritual creatures - grabbing, pouncing, leaping, hunting, dodging and playing - and created the Five Elements Boxing of Dragon, Tiger, Crane, Snake and Leopard.

Later, various boxing techniques were integrated to become the famous monk boxing.

They are both Emei, so why do they need to ambush each other?

When the two men arrived near the official road of Longquan Mountain, they hid themselves in the bushes and took out two pistols from behind.

Li Yan also stood in the distance, waiting patiently.

Before I knew it, the night was getting darker.

It was pitch black all around, and I saw a carriage creaking towards me from the direction of Longquan Mountain.

On the car, there was a huge stone coffin...
