Knife splashing

Chapter 490: Voice of an Old Friend in Ziyang

The soul-catching rope is a magical power from the underworld.

He has already asked people from the "Huangquan" organization about this matter.

Not only the Luofeng lineage has it, but the current underworld lineage can also exchange it for this magical power after practicing the "Six Paths Sutra" and completing enough tasks.

The requirements for Taoism are not that high.

It seems like you are getting an advantage, but in fact the nature of the situation has changed.

In the past, I practiced cultivation, building buildings and palaces step by step. Although the final hope was like a mirage, it was always a thought.

But now, it has become an assessment.

The pinnacle of practice in the "Six Paths Sutra" is the sixth level.

Li Yan didn't know what had happened, but he knew that some doors had been completely closed.

And this kind of supernatural power is not unique to the underworld.

Just like the Paijiao Huo Jiao he met before, he also had the ability to breathe fire, but it was unclear where it came from.

All of these are called the magical powers of the Dharma Realm.

Just like the Soul-Catching Thunder Rope he has now.

After entering Shu, he had figured out new uses for it.

With the blessing of the Soul-Hooking Thunder Rope, speed and strength will be enhanced, and you can also use thunder magic.

The only drawback is that it consumes the stored thunder.

He has not encountered a heavy thunderstorm since entering Shu, so he does not want to use this trump card unless it is absolutely necessary.

"What kind of thunder technique is this?"

The "ghost face" opened his mouth and coughed out mouthfuls of blood.

He turned around and fled, which was equivalent to leaving his back to Li Yan. At this moment, his spine was shattered, his lower back was bloody and the bones were visible. There was no hope of survival at all.

Li Yan glanced at it indifferently and ignored it. He suddenly exerted force on his feet, and with a roar, he went away.

Over there, Jin Cui Lian was running away frantically.

The Soul-Catching Thunder Rope is his trump card, none of these people can be left alive!
In the back, the "Ghost Face" looked at the quickly disappearing Raikage with unwillingness in his eyes, and gradually lost his breath.

A strike of thunder had completely severed his heart meridians.

"Spare your life!"

Jin Cui Lian tried her best to escape, but when she heard the thunder behind her, she was finally completely frightened and turned around and knelt.

As soon as he finished speaking, a big hand appeared in front of him.

Bang!
The powerful force, combined with thunder magic, directly smashed his head.

Li Yan obtained information from the Yuanguang sorcerer.

Others are fine.

Jin Cui Lian, who seems weak and has little say in the team, is the one who has done all the bad things and is hated by both humans and gods.

After killing this woman, the lightning on Li Yan's body also dissipated.

He shook his head slightly, somewhat helpless.

Now that I have lost my Gangling and my trump card, if I encounter a strong enemy again, I will have to fight to the death...

Thinking of this, he turned back, collected all the magic fire guns, and searched the bodies of the three dead masters.

Tan Wanpei and Jin Cui Lian are easier to deal with.

The various odds and ends on his body were all magical tools from unorthodox sects, which Li Yan did not know how to use. He just picked out a few that looked okay and put them away, and destroyed the rest.

But a secret letter was found on the "Ghost Face".

It was written to him by a man named "Guichou".

When Li Yan saw this, he frowned slightly.

"Guichou" said that they have recruited new people and formed a new "Ghost Troupe". The troupe owner is very powerful and the masters he found are even stronger than they were at that time.

"Ghost Chou" asked "Ghost Hualian" to continue staying in the Prince of Shu's Mansion, and with the help of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, he helped the "Ghost Troupe" to raise funds and recruit people.

Pei Yufang had already agreed to join the "Ghost Opera Troupe" and become one of the musicians, but he died because of Li Yan, so the "Ghost Painted Face" was so angry that he volunteered to take charge of this task.

It's really a wave of unrest, a wave of another.

After seeing this, Li Yan felt helpless.

Judging from the letter, this "ghost troupe" is also a powerful team of wandering immortals. After breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn, they will definitely do something big.

If things go wrong, there will be another enemy...

…………

Ziyang City is very old. There were people active here in the pre-Qin period. The city was built during the Han Dynasty and was abandoned due to war during the Song Dynasty.

During the Daxing period, the city was rebuilt on a moderate scale.

This place is famous for its abundant shale and sandstone mines, and there are many Buddhist grottoes from Anyue to Dazu. Therefore, everything in the city, from the houses of ordinary people to the mansions of wealthy families, are built of bricks and stones.

Sand, stone and moss show the ancient charm.

When Li Yan arrived in Ziyang County, it was already late at night.

The city wall was not high. He watched the patrolling soldiers carrying torches passed by and then he simply climbed over it.

Except for the wealthy families in the city, there were lanterns hanging on their doors, illuminating every inch of the space; other streets and alleys were pitch black.

Li Yan moved around silently.

There were only a few inns in the city. He used his hand gestures and his ability to smell the food to quickly find the people from the Luo family.

The Luo family was very wealthy and directly booked more than a dozen rooms in the backyard of Anfu Inn, the largest inn in the city.

But even so, it seems a bit crowded.

After all, in addition to the wounded, there were more than a dozen embroiderers and seven or eight servants, and every room was packed.

Although it was night, the yard was brightly lit.

The embroiderers were running around carrying hot water.

In addition to the doctors invited from the city, there were also some Taoists in robes treating the wounded.

These Taoists are obviously very good at this.

He was very skilled in setting bones, cleaning wounds, suturing with fish gut sutures, and applying the black ointment from the gourd he carried with him.

There was even a doctor from Ziyang County who helped without blinking, looking like a complete student.

"All right."

After one of the old Taoist priests bandaged the wound, he took the towel handed to him by the embroiderer to wash his hands, shook his head and said, "I was delayed on the road. Good and evil are fighting each other. I will definitely have a fever tonight. If you can get through it, you can survive."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the largest side room, where Luo family's mistress Wu Yuqing was lying, with two Taoist nuns guarding her with swords.

Wu Yuqing was obviously getting better, but still looked pale. When he saw the Taoist priest coming in, he quickly sat up and said, "Thank you for your help, Master."

"Don't be too polite."

The old Taoist shook his head slightly, his eyes becoming serious. "This matter is also my fault for my negligence. Your Luo family is also well-known in Shuzhong, and you have made friends with many officials. I didn't expect that the Du family would directly tear their relations apart."

"Don't worry, the bodies of the deceased have been stored in the charity cemetery. I have sent people to pray for their souls to return to their hometown..."

Hearing the old Taoist's ramblings, Wu Yuqing couldn't help but feel angry, but his face remained calm. He sighed, "Master, the Luo family has not yet overcome the disaster. This time, I may have to trouble you to take action."

After hearing this, the old Taoist fell silent.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Yuqing felt a chill in his heart.

Although the Blood-Passed Jade Emperor Sect in Shu cannot compare with the orthodox sects such as Emei and Qingcheng, it is also a long-standing lineage and is quite powerful.

On a daily basis, the Luo family donated a lot of money just to find a backer so that they could keep their composure.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Taoist Qingfeng was still hesitating.

Wu Yuqing finally couldn't help but said, "Master, although I am not an inner disciple, I am loyal to the sect. If the Luo family is destroyed, who else can fully support the sect?"

Hearing this, the old Taoist was also a little surprised, and said in a deep voice: "What are you complaining about? After hearing this, I immediately brought nearly half of the disciples of the mountain gate, which is worthy of the money your Luo family gave me."

"But this is no joke."

"I have told you before to avoid causing trouble. But now you are following the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce and opposing the Shu Palace. You are the one who caused all this trouble."

"Besides, the Du family is not easy to mess with. They have a lot of connections with the underworld and are quite powerful. They are also connected to the Dissemination Sect." "If I am not careful, there will be a big mess!"

After hearing this, Wu Yuqing was completely disappointed. He was silent for a moment and then asked, "Master, may I ask what you are going to do?"

The old Taoist shook his head and said, "I will escort you back to Yibin first to protect the Luo family from falling into the hands of others. Then I will ask someone to mediate. After all, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one."

Wu Yuqing nodded and said, "I'll do as you wish, Master."

"Who?!"

At this moment, a Taoist priest in the courtyard suddenly drew his sword.

Li Yan jumped down from the roof, ignoring the Taoist next to him, and looked into the house, saying in a deep voice: "Madam Wu, I'm here."

Wu Yuqing's eyes lit up, "Young Master Li, please come in."

Li Yan strode into the wing room, and seeing Taoist Qingfeng beside him, he just nodded, and then said to Wu Yuqing: "Things over there are done, I came here to say goodbye."

He had heard what the two had just said.

Since the Blood-transmitted Jade Emperor Sect had no intention of starting a war, he had no plans to get involved in the matter.

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

Wu Yuqing's face remained calm. He didn't rush to speak, but looked at Li Yan and asked with concern: "Young Master Li is injured?"

Li Yan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. It's other people's blood. My business has been settled. I think I can be at peace for a while."

The Taoist priest Qingfeng beside him finally couldn't help but ask, "You are Li Yan, why are you so ignorant of etiquette?"

"Etiquette?"

Li Yan sneered, "Sorry, I know how to be loyal to the man who feeds me, how to keep a promise, and how to repay a tooth for a tooth. I really don't understand this etiquette!"

After hearing the conversation just now, he no longer had a good impression of this old Taoist.

It’s very simple. No matter how quiet the Xuanmen is, it is still the world of martial arts.

The Luo family has been worshipping for so long, but they don't want to take action at the critical moment. They talk a lot of nice things, but they are just cowardly and afraid of taking risks.

"Be bold!"

"You kid doesn't want to live anymore!"

A group of Taoists had gathered outside, and they became furious when they heard what was said.

Taoist Qingfeng is their master.

Li Yan actually made sarcastic remarks, which was really too much.

After hearing this, the Taoist Qingfeng was not so angry. He just raised his hand to let the disciple leave, then shook his head and said: "When I was young, I was the same as you, but sometimes, fighting and robbing is not a good thing."

"When one day your decision affects the life and death of many disciples, you will understand my position."

Li Yan glanced at him calmly, "A man without faith cannot stand."

"People are like this, families are like this, countries are like this, and sects are no different. If you give in step by step, disaster may not come, but happiness will be far away. That's all I have to say."

"Young Master Li, stop talking."

Wu Yuqing sighed, "If the Luo family can survive this disaster, we will repay you for your help. Be careful on your journey, young man."

"Luo An, go and see the young man off."

"Yes, ma'am."

The old housekeeper Luo An hurried into the room and raised his hand and said, "Young man, please."

Li Yan nodded and followed Luo An away.

Watching them leave, Taoist Qingfeng shook his head slightly, "Young people are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, acting rashly, causing such a huge disaster and still doing the same thing, I'm afraid they won't live long."

"If you, the Luo family, don't want to bring disaster upon yourself, stay away from him."

"I have already given instructions. The others will stay here to attract attention. We will escort you back to Yibin overnight."

"The Luo family has an unfilial son who has been bribed by the Du family. They are working together inside and outside to seize your family business. You need to go back and take charge of the situation."

"Thank you, Master."

Wu Yuqing's face was calm, and no emotion could be seen on his face.

On the other side, after Luo An sent Li Yan to the corner of the inn, he whispered, "He's at the Huazi meat stall in the east of the city."

"Madam has seen through the Jade Emperor Cult's plan. If we take Du Ping with us, I'm afraid Taoist Qingfeng will send him back as a gesture of goodwill."

"The Jade Emperor Cult was not blocked outside the city. It is probably because there were too many people coming. The Du family was afraid to act rashly. They must still be outside the city..."

It seems that Wu Yuqing hasn't given up yet.

After hearing this, Li Yan became interested. "Without the support of the Blood-transmitted Jade Emperor Sect, you can't fight the Du family. What's your plan?"

Luo An whispered, "Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, Lushan."

When Li Yan heard this, he immediately understood.

There are two types of Jade Emperor teachings: the Southern Jade Emperor teaching and the Northern Jade Emperor teaching.

According to the southern tradition, the Jade Emperor issues orders using talismans; according to the northern tradition, the Jade Emperor issues spells using taboos; and the Jade Emperor in Shu is passed down through blood, which indicates there is another secret inheritance.

But no matter which one it is, they are all the Jade Emperor Sect, known as the "Dharma among Dharmas, the Supreme Dharma", and they were once powerful.

But now, under the leadership of this old Taoist, the Blood-transmitted Jade Emperor of Shu has shown signs of decline.

Changes in heaven and earth have come, and so has the Xuanmen.

If you don't fight now, you won't have the chance to fight in the future.

Wu Yuqing obviously also saw this, and secretly asked the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce to contact Lu Shanjiao for help.

The slogan of the Lushan Sect is equally loud: The supreme ruler in heaven is the Jade Emperor, and the most noble ruler on earth is the king. All ghosts and gods in the world admire them, but only Lushan is the master.

He spoke harshly and acted harshly.

At least in Guangdong, Guangxi and Ganzhou, it has the final say and is no less powerful than the orthodox Xuanmen sect.

I'm afraid the Lushan Sect also wants to take this opportunity to enter Shu.

Killing the evil spirits of the Ghost Cult is the best excuse.

With the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce receiving such strong support, the Salt Gang had to retreat.

Li Yan was naturally happy to see someone causing trouble for the Ghost Cult. He pondered for a moment and said, "Madam seems to be very generous. If so, I will lend you a helping hand. I'm just afraid you won't dare to accept it."

Luo An smiled bitterly and said, "The Luo family has been forced into a desperate situation. What else can they not dare to do?"

"That's good."

Li Yan whispered, "I just stole a batch of Vulcan Guns from the Shu Palace. They definitely don't dare to make it public. It's troublesome for me to carry them with me, so I might as well sell them to you."

"With a weapon in hand, you can speak more confidently."

"A new firearm?"

Luo An was startled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hahaha…"

Li Yan laughed dumbly, "It seems you are still afraid. Make your own decision. The things are hidden in your pleasure boat. If you want them, you can convert them into silver and give them to me in the future."

After saying that, he strode into the alley and disappeared.

There was a changeable look in Luo An's eyes. He gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

He knew that his wife would definitely eat this batch of goods.

The Luo family used to rely too much on others.

If you have a strong fist, you won't suffer this kind of bullying again in the future.

……

On the other side, Li Yan had quickly arrived at the east of the city.

Huazi Meat Stall is just an ordinary butcher shop. It is probably the secret agent arranged by the Luo family in Ziyang to help them transmit information.

Li Yan stopped as soon as he reached the door.

The Luo family hid Du Ping here as a backup plan for dealing with the Du family in the future. Naturally, it had to be secretive and quiet so as not to attract attention.

Although the door of the meat stall was closed at this time, the lights were on inside and the aroma of cooking mutton could be smelled.

Then, a familiar voice sounded:

"Come on, why is it so troublesome to cook mutton?"
