Knife splashing

Chapter 506 Skeleton City, Nine Heavens Thunder

There's something in the sky!

Li Yan's hair stood on end and he became alert.

You must know that in this "charnel ground", supernatural powers are suppressed and one can only rely on one's five senses to observe.

Even he couldn't see anything from a distance.

But this thing can make him notice it.

This was a suppression from the strength of his life and soul, which allowed his warrior's intuition to take effect.

In addition, the jade accessories also enhanced his sensitivity.

What the hell is it?
Li Yan gritted his teeth, ready to use magic at any time.

Sharifei was holding a ceremony outside, and he couldn't handle anything of this level.

If necessary, even if it means interrupting the ceremony, we must take it away to prevent it from falling into this place and becoming an evil spirit.

But with his magic, he probably won't be able to deal with it.

Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in Li Yan's eyes and he took out the certificate.

He already understood the nature of this place. Just like the Qiongqi tribe's land in Xianshan, it was a rift between the human world and the Daluo Dharma Realm.

Although it is not clear what relationship it has with Buddhism.

But the soldiers from the underworld can definitely be summoned.

Li Yan was ready and stared at the sky.

The strange thing was that the thing did not fall down to attack, but instead moved slowly in the air, like a kite floating around.

Then, another feeling of being peeped came.

Even though it was just his soul, Li Yan's eyelids were twitching wildly.

He guessed what they were.

The Dakini, or the Dakini father.

This is a special deity in Tibetan Buddhism. It is said that it can travel back and forth between heaven and earth and is the link between the Buddha's kingdom and practitioners.

Li Yan now knows that no matter the underworld, heaven, or Buddhist kingdom, they are all within the Daluo Dharma Realm, perhaps in different areas.

It's just not clear what the connection is between them.

Does the Buddhist country also follow the "Heavenly Law"?
If we comply, what is the point of occupying this gap?
All kinds of doubts came to my mind.

But Li Yan knew that these things should be the so-called secrets of heaven and earth. If it were not for chance, he would probably not have discovered these things.

After waiting for a while, Li Yan felt a little relaxed.

From the current perspective, these special gods have no ill intentions and are just observing quietly in the air.

Since this is the case, Li Yan does not want to cause trouble.

What is more important is to allow Sharifei to complete the ceremony smoothly.

Outside, Sharifa was having a harder time.

The evil black fog and the blood-red eyes of evil spirits seemed to turn into a storm, howling around him, and his ears were filled with all kinds of bizarre sounds.

These things attacked madly, trying to drown Sharifei.

Unfortunately, the three life flames around him flew up and down, and although they flickered, they never went out.

It's like a wind-calming bead, making the surrounding area calm and peaceful.

These three life fires are driven by the Lu San altar, drawing out the life source of Sharifei and maintained by his will.

Whether it can hold on depends on Sharifi.

Fortunately, after this period of torture, Sharifei had already adapted to it. The anger in his chest turned into murderous intent, which drove away all the fear.

The sachet of Resurrection Grass in his mouth also gave off a refreshing scent, which allowed him to maintain his nerves that were stretched to the limit.

puff!
After an unknown amount of time, a life fire suddenly changed.

It was originally dark blue, but now it turned red.

"it is good!"

After seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but cheer in a low voice.

Lu San once said that the sign of success is that all three life fires change color, and one of the six yin roots will turn into a yang root, giving birth to supernatural powers.

At the same time, outside the bamboo grove, a brazier surrounding the altar also exploded with a loud bang, igniting a fierce flame.

Lu San danced the Nuo dance, and his dance steps seemed full of joy. He sprinkled spices again, took out a lotus lamp, lit the fire from the brazier, and carefully placed it near Sharifei's left shoulder.

The ceremony was already one third successful.

What surprised them even more was yet to come.

puff!
Not long after, a life fire changed color again.

"Lao Sha, you can!"

There was also a hint of surprise in Li Yan's eyes.

I didn't expect Shari to be so fast.

What he didn't know was that Sharifei was exhausted physically and mentally from the torture that day, but was inspired by the news from afar and spent the whole night helping Wang Daoxuan make magic tools, squeezing out all his energy.

When forging iron, you need to concentrate fully and be able to sense subtle changes.

In fact, there are already signs of awakening.

Unfortunately, he is quite old and has been in the underworld for many years, his emotions have been corrupted and his mind has become turbid.

There is a saying in Buddhism that a bright pearl is covered by dust.

What he did was no different from sealing a heart with cement.

If it were someone else in that situation, they might have awakened their magical powers, but he only opened a crack.

Until now, it has gradually peeled off.

Just one step away!

Li Yan concentrated and observed carefully.

But at this moment, another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.

It was the two Dakinis or Dakinis who were spying on them who suddenly flew up and down, chanted Sanskrit sounds, and streams of innate energy fell down.

What do they want to do!
Li Yan was shocked and hurried out of the palace.

But I saw some faint specks falling from the sky, like dust, with a halo of fire burning around them.

This is a secret Buddhist method. From a distance, it looks like golden lotuses falling from the sky. The scene is very spectacular.

When the black fog below came into contact with them, they seemed to have met their nemesis and fled away. In just a short time, they were completely gone.

At this moment, Shalifai was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by three life fires, with golden lotuses falling from the sky, and there was actually a sense of holiness.

Oops!

But when Li Yan saw it, he secretly thought it was not good.

At the same time, I also vaguely understood what was going on.

The ceremony attracted too many evil spirits, which seemed to have triggered some mechanism, leading to the appearance of the Dakini.

Once a threshold is reached, they will take action to disperse it.

Actually, there is no problem.

But Sharifei was at a critical moment, and without the pressure of these evil spirits and murderous auras, he would have given up halfway.

Thinking of this, Li Yan gritted his teeth, leaped back into the palace, strode forward, and sat on the altar.

He made some hand gestures and flipped his hands over.

Puff puff!
Lotus lanterns suddenly appeared around the throne.

He was preparing to perform the "Northern Emperor Yinshan Method".

This method is similar to the ritual of Sharifei, both of which rely on external forces for practice.

However, the Beidi Yinshan Method is more powerful. It artificially simulates an environment similar to the underworld. Li Yan has used this method many times to speed up his practice.

This "charnel ground" is just right.

Call ~
As Li Yan's mind sank and he chanted the spell, the wind howled outside again and the evil spirit surged.

The rolling black fog came not only from all directions but even from the sky, like a dark cloud covering the city.

The Gangsha energy is yin and yang, and there is no distinction between high and low, good and evil.

Such a huge evil energy directly blew away the golden lotus in the sky, submerging it and making it disappear.

Li Yan was also shocked.

I didn't expect that performing the "Northern Emperor Yinshan Method" in the "Charnel Ground" would cause such a big commotion.

Sharifei could not bear such a terrifying evil aura.

Li Yan quickly slowed down and weakened the spell.

In the sky, there was a faint roar like that of a wild beast.

With the sound of Sanskrit, it continues to echo in the air.

Most people would not understand these sounds and would only feel them as thunder. However, Li Yan had supernatural powers that could hear the voices of ghosts and gods, so he immediately understood what was being said. "How dare you!"

"presumptuous!"

It seemed that his behavior had caused dissatisfaction among the gods.

Boom boom boom!
It seemed like something was knocking on the bones.

The evil aura that had originally gathered dissipated again.

Li Yan's heart sank when he saw this.

Actually, he had no ill intention in using this place to help Sharifei, thinking that as a small mortal, he would not be able to alarm the owner of this place.

Unexpectedly, this trouble came about.

But Sharifei's chance may only be this once.

Never mind, if I'm offended, I'm offended.

At worst, you can summon ghost soldiers and then run away.

Thinking of this, Li Yan once again made hand gestures and chanted the spell, using all his strength to perform the "Northern Emperor Yinshan Method".

This "charnel ground" is a spiritual space where the competition is between spirits and souls.

Li Yan exerted all his strength, even concentrating his mind to build a building, and suddenly a strange vision appeared.

Behind his divine palace, evil energy gathered madly and at the same time separated into yin and yang, vaguely forming the shadows of the Yin Sea and Luofeng Mountain.

At the same time, Gan Silianwanlu Palace was also looming.

Finally, the evil aura gathered together again, and there were many bizarre black shadows among them. They were not only evil spirits, but also some strange creatures with bared fangs and claws, and three heads and six arms.

They gathered around Sharifei again.

It was not just a simple howl, but even its hands and feet were dancing like a demon, and its claws, as dry as a corpse, stretched out black mist, trying to extinguish the life-threatening fire in the sand.

laugh!
But he was burned by the life fire and quickly retreated.

The pressure on Sharifei suddenly increased. Even though he was filled with anger and murderous intent, a certain innate fear inevitably surged into his heart.

In fact, this is the essence of the ceremony.

Use fear and pressure to destroy and then rebuild.

By accident, Sharifei used the anger and murderous intent in his heart to suppress his initial fear and changed two life fires in succession.

However, it also made his last lamp more difficult.

Under enough pressure, Sharifei fell into a strange state.

Fear, murderous intent, and anger were about to drive him crazy.

But there were constant waves of coolness coming from the sachet of the resurrection grass, which kept him awake at some level, as if he was walking on a tightrope.

But at this time, Li Yan had no time to check.

As the evil spirit in the sky was drawn down, it was as if the dark sky curtain was torn apart, and a strange scene appeared in the sky:
Two phantoms with three heads and six arms were flying up and down.

They have female bodies from the waist down, dark skin, three heads and six arms, holding all kinds of strange bone-shaped magical instruments, and lion heads.

Specks of flames and light were flying around him, colorful and bizarre, making it look like a huge thangka appearing in the sky.

Lion-faced Dakini!
Li Yan happened to have heard of it.

This Lion-Faced Dakini is a deity in Tibetan Buddhist legends. She has a ferocious face but possesses the power of light.

Reciting the mantra can ward off evil attacks.

They should be the guardians of this place.

What made Li Yan's scalp tingle even more was that there was a faint shadow in the sky that was even larger, like a city made up of countless skeletons.

Before he came, he had studied the charnel ground.

This place is managed by the charnel ground protector.

Legend has it that he lives in the "Pure Land of Corpses", in which there is a square city of human skulls and a forest of corpses.

That thing in the sky should be the pure land of corpses.

The terrifying pressure from it made Li Yan's mind go blank. He unconsciously grasped the warrant in his hand and was about to summon the ghost soldiers.

Rumble!
At this moment, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky.

Click!
Lightning flashed and struck directly on the palace.

Whether it was the Luofeng Mountain, Yinhai, Gansi Lianwanlu Palace in the back, or the palace he built, they all disappeared in an instant like a mirage.

Li Yan fell to the ground from the air, his heart trembling.

The lightning in his hand crackled, and he quickly looked at the hook in his hand. Behind it, there were already tree-branch-like lightning patterns, crisscrossing and vaguely forming a lightning symbol.

Li Yan was a little confused and looked up at the sky.

He knew that this thunder was not from the master of the Cemetery, but came from the Daluo Realm, from the Thunder Department of Heaven.

If you count carefully, this is the third time something unusual has happened.

One was in the Thunder and Fire Refining Hall of Wudang Mountain, where the Thunder Department took action and put him to the test while also refining the Soul-Catching Rope, turning it into a more advanced magical power.

Second, outside Shennongjia, it was suspected that the Ministry of Thunder intervened and used him to kill the trapped dragon that violated the heavenly rules.

This time, someone tampered with the Goutiao again.

Could it be...

Li Yan already had some guesses in his mind.

I'm afraid I've got another part-time job.

Sure enough, as the thunder struck the Palace of the Gods, both the Lion-Faced Dakini and the phantom of the Skeleton City in the sky quickly disappeared, and were covered by the dark sky again.

puff!
As the evil aura around him dissipated, the last life fire changed color, and Shalifi suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around, confused and shocked.

"What a coward! So that's how it is!"

After saying that, he fell to the ground and fainted, and his figure quickly disappeared.

It seems to have been successful.

Li Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to stay here any longer. He quickly made hand gestures, focused his mind, and his figure gradually faded.

Soon, the cemetery returned to silence again.

The wind howled, blowing the skeleton pagoda...

…………

Clang!
Outside the small house in the bamboo forest, Sha Lifei drew his sword from its sheath.

His face was solemn, and he twisted his wrist slightly. Guanshan's knife seemed to be more agile. After circling around the bald head, it suddenly struck out.

For a moment, the sword lights flashed and danced tightly.

His steps became faster, raising dust around him.

Guanzhong fast sword is all about being one step ahead.

The knife was already out before the foot landed.

Unlike Li Yan who later integrated the horizontal sword technique and focused on both offense and defense, Sharifei still focused only on the quick sword.

But now, his swordsmanship has obviously improved.

Not only that, while the knife was about to fall back, he suddenly pulled out the short musket from his waist and pulled the trigger.

The musket was not loaded with gunpowder, but the timing of the shot was chosen very well, just in the gap between Guanzhong's sharp swords.

Although they came from the same school, he and Li Yan chose different paths.

Such progress is naturally due to supernatural powers.

Sharifei awakened his supernatural powers.

This magical power is just right for him.

The five senses are sharp and the control over the body is improved.

Not only did he break through the bottleneck in martial arts and have the potential to enter the realm of Hua Jin, but his forging and shooting accuracy were also improved.

"Alright, alright."

Lu San was getting a headache watching this. "You've been showing off for the whole morning, and you're not tired at all. You should concentrate as soon as possible, because the building hasn't been built yet."

"Hahaha…"

Sharifei stroked his bald head proudly and said, "That's no big deal. I must have been well prepared before going up the mountain."

Li Yan stayed in the small house in the bamboo forest. Looking through the window, he saw Shalfi's smug look. He smiled silently and then looked at his hands.

The certificate in his hand at the moment has Commander Yin on one side and the Lei Mansion Order on the other side, and is also blessed with jade accessories.

I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

At this moment, he finally felt the impact of humanitarian change.

Even the Heavenly Court has begun to conscript men...
