Knife splashing

Chapter 484: Beautiful Riverside Scene
Traveling around the world is also a way to broaden your horizons.

Being trapped in one place, your vision is ultimately limited, and you will never know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is.

Just like the martial arts in front of us.

Li Yan didn't know what this martial art was called, but he had never seen such a perfect fusion of illusion and kung fu before.

The long-standing Dharma lineage should not be underestimated.

If you make a wrong judgment, you will die.

Although he was amazed, Li Yan was not afraid.

He retreated with a knife in his right hand, dodging the shadows of guns. At the same time, he held the Divine Tiger Order with his left hand and quickly whispered, "Nuo Gao, three stars on the left, three prisons on the right, the sky and the earth are turned upside down, all nine roads are blocked, and you lose your mind... Command!"

This is the protective spell of Beidi.

As the level of Taoism increases, the power also increases.

This method can also be considered a kind of spell, which can be used to counter-curse enemies who attack with illusions, bewitching spells, and other techniques.

It is equivalent to using a momentary burst of evil energy to shock the enemy's soul. It was just that he did not have enough Taoism before, so he used it to drive away the souls of wild beasts.

"Roar--!"

At the dock, everyone suddenly heard a tiger roar.

The sound seemed to reach straight into their souls, shaking them all over, opening their pores and oozing sweat.

The sky and the earth are turned upside down, all nine paths are blocked, making you lose your mind.

The Beidi protective spell has now revealed its true power.

The people around were only affected, but Wang Han, who was at the center, bore most of the curse.

hum!
The dust that was stirred up by the strong wind shook violently.

The several dharma bodies inside also dissipated at the same time.

Wang Han's "Lotus Dharma Body" was broken. Although he was not injured, his mind was shaken. He suppressed the discomfort and quickly retreated.

But Li Yan, when he was in power, was merciless.

call out!
The soul-breaking flying knife whizzed towards them again.

Wang Han barely raised his gun and swung it away.

However, Li Yan had already followed closely, wading through the mud with his left and right feet, suddenly leaping up, and chopping Huashan with his Duanchen Sword.

"Junior is so brave!"

Wang Han suddenly felt angry.

The so-called "strength comes from the ground" is the same even for Xuanmen martial arts. Leaping in a fight without touching the ground is a big taboo.

To compete with him in this is simply to look down on me.

The Yang family spear has both the "dancing spear that is dazzling" and the "throat-locking spear that even gods and ghosts can't stop" and the "turning horse spear that even immortals can't defend against".

Likewise, his other two martial arts.

If his mind and soul were not in shock and his breathing was not unstable at this moment, he would have stabbed this kid to death with his soul-locking spear.

Thinking of this, Wang Han's heart moved, and he blocked with his spear, planning to recover and stabilize his breathing first.

This kid is so rampant, so I can just use a surprise attack to deal with him.

However, he miscalculated again.

clang!
The moment the blade touched the gun barrel, not only did sparks fly, but there was also a crackling sound of lightning. Then his head felt dull and his eyes went black.

It's Yin Lei!
Wang Han was suddenly shocked.

How come this kid used thunder magic without even chanting a spell?
Oops, there's something wrong with this knife!
He guessed the reason, but it was too late.

Wang Han's soul was shaken by the thunder. He was even more unlucky than before. The smell of incense on his body began to dissipate.

To be honest, at his age, although he has also reached the level of Hua Jin, after all, young people are more powerful than strong ones. In terms of strength and endurance, he is inferior to Li Yan.

Only by using the divine attack could we achieve a slight victory.

Now his martial arts were unstable and he was attacked by the Yin thunder, so his strength was greatly reduced and he almost let the gun slip out of his hand.

How could Li Yan miss this opportunity? He turned around, grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, and suddenly swung it upwards again.

"Don't think about it!"

Wang Han thought he was going to use Yin Lei again, so in a hurry, he bit the tip of his tongue to stimulate himself and restore his mind.

But this time, it was Yang Lei.

Yang Lei was so powerful that the electric arc on the blade crackled and exploded the moment it collided with the gun barrel.

boom!
Thunder roared, and Wang Han's spear slipped out of his hand and flew more than ten meters high.

Li Yan took a step forward, as if shrinking the distance into an inch, and at the same time, he swung the knife with his backhand and passed directly past Wang Han.

Blood splattered and heads flew off.

The twisted iron spear fell to the ground with a clang.

The headless corpse also fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Li Yan didn't even look at it. He swung his knife in a flower shape, shook off the blood stain, put the knife back into the sheath, and shouted: "If you want to kill me, I am here to serve you at any time!"

After saying that, he waved to the crowd.

The people in the crowd were suddenly startled, thinking that Li Yan had discovered them.

However, another person walked out from the crowd. He was the waiter of the inn, leading Li Yan's donkey, and the luggage had been hung up in advance.

"Young man, your donkey."

The waiter's eyes were filled with excitement and sweat was coming out of his forehead.

He will never forget what he just saw.

"Thanks."

Li Yan smiled slightly and threw out two silver ingots, one large and one small. "The large one is for compensation to the inn, and the small one is your reward."

"this…"

The waiter took it, a little overwhelmed.

And in the crowd, some people in the underworld also praised secretly.

These two pieces of silver, one large and one small, are very important.

If only one ingot is given, it will be a problem even if the quantity is large.

The innkeeper might be greedy and not give it to the waiter.

Maybe the amount given was not enough, which made the waiter unhappy.

There will be problems eventually.

After all, the waiter took a risk and could not leave any trouble behind.

If we make it clear in advance, it will be difficult for the innkeeper to make any changes.

It's easy to have a strong fist, but it's more difficult to be a good person.

For a while, no one cared about the dead Wang Han...

As for Li Yan, he clasped his fists slightly towards the people around him, led the stupid donkey with crooked eyes, and came directly to the dock:

"Excuse me, is there a boat going to Yibin?"

There are many passenger ships moored at the pier.

The captains of the ship all saw the fight just now.

But when they heard Li Yan's question, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

They also heard some things.

The master in front of him was offered a bonus by the royal palace.

They dare not even think about this money.

I am even more unwilling to cause trouble just for the boat fare.

Li Yan didn't care and just led the donkey and waited quietly.

The people in the palace also prepared a boat loaded with explosives, so they took advantage of today to destroy it.

But unexpectedly, no one responded after waiting for a long time.

What he didn't know was that "Ghost Face" had already abandoned this plan and led his men to ambush ahead.

"Young Master Li, do you want to take a boat?"

Just as he was wondering, a shout came from a distance.

Li Yan looked up and saw a pleasure boat slowly approaching upstream on the river, which also attracted the attention of others.

This houseboat is extremely luxurious and high-profile.

The hull has smooth lines and is painted vermilion. The bow is slightly tilted and the stern is made of high mahogany, like a city wall.

The boat pavilion is a two-story building with flying eaves and inlaid with colored glaze. The colors flow under the sunlight, which is very gorgeous.

The person who spoke was an old man, wearing a black turban and a long gown with a front opening and a cross collar, made of silk fabric and gorgeous colors. As he spoke, the pleasure boat was getting closer and closer to the pier.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I am leaving, but it's a pity."

"Oh?"

The old man in colorful clothes asked in confusion: "What's a pity?"

Li Yan replied: "It's a pity that your boat is too precious. I am worried about it. It would be a pity if I damaged the boat."

He originally thought that the people who responded were those from the palace.

The ship was also the explosive ship.

But after using supernatural powers to investigate, he found something wrong.

In the cabin, there was a faint smell of blood, as well as the smell of large amounts of silk, gold, silver and other valuable items, and faint groans could be heard.

Were we encountering bandits?
Li Yan was confused, but did not ask.

He already has enough troubles now, and he can act more freely alone, and he can also use escape techniques to escape if he encounters danger.

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

Although Wang Han was killed, he was also made alert.

Those who came to kill him this time were all of the same level, or even more powerful, with different inheritances and unique skills.

If you are not careful, the car may overturn.

Therefore, even though the ship was approaching, Li Yan still stood on the dock and was not ready to board the ship.

When the old man in colorful clothes on the boat saw his appearance, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, he exerted force on his feet and jumped onto the dock.

"Young Master Li."

He lowered his voice and pleaded, "Please come aboard and talk in detail. I have received some news that someone is trying to harm you."

Li Yan's pupils shrank slightly and he nodded.

He has discovered this, too.

There is another force that is trying hard to praise him and kill him.

Even the plans of the Shu Palace were disrupted.

It will always be troublesome if you don't find out the background of these people.

Seeing that Li Yan agreed, the old man immediately showed his joy. He quickly asked the servants to put up the planks and let Li Yan lead the donkey onto the boat.

Then, the pleasure boat gradually sailed away from the shore.

Seeing the ship leave, the people on the dock also dispersed.

As for those people in the Shu Palace, they have long disappeared...

…………

"Did you encounter pirates?"

As soon as he entered the boat pavilion, Li Yan frowned slightly.

The interior of the boat pavilion is decorated even more luxuriously.

The floor is made of fine teak, which is smooth and delicate, resistant to water, fire, insects and moisture, making it very suitable for shipbuilding, but also equally precious.

The beams of the furniture inside are made of golden nanmu, and between the columns and brackets, there are gilded relief wood carvings from Lingnan, bringing characters from stories such as The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Investiture of the Gods, and The West Chamber to life.

The curtains and draperies are all made of fine silk.

It can be said that this ship alone is worth a lot of money.

Not only that, the boat cabin was also filled with wooden boxes. Although they were not opened, they were full of precious Shu brocade and gold and silver wares.

But there were still many people lying in the cabin, almost all of them were injured, some were groaning, and some had fainted.

Several maids were taking care of her, their eyes full of confusion and fear.

Hearing Li Yan's question, the old man beside him smiled bitterly and said, "Yes and no. Young Master Li, please follow me and I will tell you the secret."

After saying that, he took Li Yan upstairs.

The second floor is decorated more luxuriously and is divided into two rooms, one is the living room and the other is the bedroom.

The dormitory door was closed, but Li Yan could smell it. Behind the door, there was a woman lying on the bed, who was also injured and unconscious.

The old man personally brewed tea for them, then he bowed respectfully and said, "We are from the Luo family of Yibin. I am Luo An, the housekeeper of the mansion."

"The Luo family has been engaged in the Shu brocade business for generations. In recent years, with the opening of the sea, the price of Shu brocade has doubled. They have also accumulated some family wealth and joined the Sichuan-Shu Chamber of Commerce..."

Li Yan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Let's talk business."

"Yes Yes."

The old man continued, "The Sichuan Chamber of Commerce had a conflict with the Salt Gang, and caused trouble in Chongqing Prefecture, which displeased the court. They were both punished with thirty lashes."

"It's easy to deal with other people, but my Luo family has been suppressed in Yibin, both openly and covertly, by officials from the Shu King's faction."

"The Luo family planned to move to Chongqing Prefecture, so they closed down shops in various places and gathered their forces and funds, but they were robbed by people pretending to be pirates."

"The attackers were the mortal enemy of the Luo family, the Luzhou Du family, the largest wine merchant in Shu. They gathered a group of people and disguised themselves as pirates and attacked us in the Deyang County area."

"We fought desperately to break through, but then the Du family's attack suddenly stopped. The mistress used her kung fu to investigate and found out that they stopped to deal with Young Master Li."

"The Du family sent people to teahouses and taverns across Shuzhong to publicize the young hero's reputation. This is actually a strategy of flattery and killing."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there must be a backup plan!"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's the back-up plan?"

The old housekeeper Luo An looked embarrassed, "This... I dare not hide it from you, young man. I don't know either. The mistress only heard about this and thought that she was beaten."

After listening to this, Li Yan finally understood.

The old man was simply desperate. He heard some rumors and found out that I was here, so he came here to seek help.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't respond, the old man hurriedly said, "Young Master Li, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. No matter why the Du family wants to harm you, they are the enemy of our Luo family. As long as the mistress returns to Yibin, we will never let them go!"

“That’s right.”

Li Yan said calmly: "But I am in trouble now. If I follow you, it will be even more dangerous than before."

"Besides, I have other important matters to attend to. I cannot escort you to Yibin."

"Don't worry, Young Master Li!"

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this. “The Luo family also has friends in the martial arts world. My mistress is a disciple of the Blood-transmitted Jade Emperor Sect. She has already sent a message asking for help. As long as we can hold on to Ziyang, reinforcements will arrive.”

"Alright."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "If you are not afraid, give me a ride."

It only takes one day to get from here to Ziyang.

These people are desperate and have a glimmer of hope if they follow him.

As he spoke, the Wufengxi Wharf behind him was no longer visible.

The pleasure boat was moving in the water, and its speed was only moderate.

Li Yan sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, making hand gestures.

With Lu San away, he could only rely on himself to investigate the enemy situation.

The battle with Wang Han at the dock was only the beginning. The people in the Shu Palace had a rough idea of ​​his strength, and the next attack would surely be like a storm.

At this moment, I could faintly hear a soft female voice singing.

"The spring light of Shu is reflected in the green windows, the embroiderers are skillful, and the silk threads are flying. They weave flowers and paint clouds, and Shu brocade is famous. Every stitch is full of love, and the thousands of threads are unforgettable. They work hard day and night, and the golden years flow through their fingers..."

Li Yanben was too lazy to deal with the people on the boat.

But when he heard the voice, his brows immediately frowned slightly.

This poem is about the embroiderers in Shu.

According to the old butler Luo An, the women on the ship were not maids, but the most outstanding embroiderers of the Luo family, and were far more important than wealth.

Although the lyrics are a bit sad, the voice is very peaceful.

How can I sing at a time like this?
It also interfered with his investigation.

Li Yan slowly opened his eyes and immediately realized something was wrong.

As the magic spells in his hands stopped, the singing also disappeared!

This is the voice of ghosts and gods.

Is there a treasure on the boat?
Li Yan became interested and continued to display his magical powers.

Sure enough, the singing came again.

He followed the sound of the singing and searched carefully on the boat.

Soon, the target was found.

That was one of the wooden boxes.

Next to the wooden box, the stupid donkey he brought, with one eye straight and one slanted, licked the copper lock of the wooden box with its big tongue like a fool.

The singing came from the box...
