Knife splashing

Chapter 511: Dragon Killing Land
"Chase!"

Under the cover of night, a group of people traveled through the mountain path.

The men of the Salt Gang held sharp blades in their hands. Although the cold wind was whistling in their faces, there was a fire in their chests and they were all extremely excited.

They have been feeling depressed for too long since they were forced into this damn place.

No one dares to offend anyone, but if they are offended, they have to endure it.

But every household in the village has set up a mourning hall, so is there any way out?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look forward.

Li Yan was seen walking with a knife in his hand. He was obviously just walking, but he seemed to have shortened the distance to an inch and was always ahead of everyone else.

Sharifei followed closely behind, and Wu Ba ran with Wang Daoxuan on his back.

As for Lu San, he had already left in advance to explore the way.

There was no need for much communication, as their tacit cooperation had already surprised Feng Laohai who was standing by.

Although he became famous at a young age and entered the stage of Hua Jin in his middle age, he was also a well-known figure in the Shu martial arts world with his Wulang Bagua stick.

But today, he is already old and his blood is weak, making it impossible for him to travel for long periods of time at night, so he is carried on a stretcher by several of his younger generations.

Conserve enough energy and take action at the critical moment.

With the help of Li Yan and others, the first battle was a victory, and revenge might not be a problem, but there was no joy on the old man's face.

Even if we can successfully get through this disaster...

What about next time?

He is old and has only a few days left to live.

But what about the younger generation under my command...

Thinking of this, Feng Laohai looked at Li Yan and others in front of him, his eyes thoughtful, and then became deep.

.........

An eagle cried and the sound of its wings flapping through the air was heard.

Li Yan stopped, without even looking, and raised his hand into the air, grabbing the fallen bamboo tube in his hand.

Above was a simple map showing the terrain, their location, and the target.

here you go!
Li Yan secretly praised in his heart.

The falcon's high-altitude vision combined with Lu San's supernatural powers were a perfect match. On the way, he told Lu San some of his thoughts from his previous life, and Lu San understood them immediately.

With this thing, I don’t know how much more convenient it will be.

He carefully examined the map, frowned, turned around and handed it to Wang Daoxuan behind him, "Master, take a look, this place seems a little wrong."

Wang Daoxuan took it and lit the torch.

As he looked at it, he gestured with his fingers and said thoughtfully, "The dragon is murderous, steep and dangerous, ugly and rough, and exposed with rocks... There is indeed something wrong, it looks like a place to kill dragons!"

Sharifei touched his head and said, "I know Shaohukou. It's named after the place where a tiger was killed. Could it be that a dragon was killed there?"

Wang Daoxuan shook his head and said, "The Dragon Killing Land is a kind of dragon vein. It is extremely evil and cannot be inhabited by males or buried by females. Otherwise, disaster will surely occur."

As he spoke, he looked into the distance with a serious expression, "This evil place is no worse than the Ghost Qiang Village."

"Everyone be careful, there must be something arranged inside!"

After noticing something strange, everyone immediately slowed down.

They moved forward carefully, but the strange thing was that the other party knew they were coming but did not set an ambush to stop them.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Lu San also emerged from the dense forest with the little white fox and shook his head, saying, "There is no one from here to the top of the mountain."

"There is a village in the mountains, it is filled with evil spirits. I don't know what means they used, but it looks like there is no one there."

Li Yan snorted coldly, "You want to take advantage of the terrain? That's not going to happen. We'll use fire to force them all out!"

The others also thought it was a good idea and went up the mountain immediately.

After climbing over a hill, the village of the Dragon Worshiping Sect came into view.

Just as Wang Daoxuan said, this place looked like an extremely dangerous place, with exposed rocks, broken gullies everywhere, messy dead grass on the ground, and strange and hideous trees.

Large stone mansions stand among them.

These houses are also very strange. They are square, without windows, and have long and narrow gates. They look almost like tombs.

From a distance, there were at least a dozen of them, arranged in an orderly manner, obviously in some kind of Feng Shui formation. There was also a dark and smelly stream flowing down from the mountain, surrounding and running through the entire village.

"The living live in the tomb, killing the dragon breeds the dead air..."

Wang Daoxuan was horrified and frowned, saying, "These people are disturbing yin and yang. I'm afraid fire attack will be useless."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan turned around and waved his hand.

The men of the Salt Gang were already prepared. They drew their bows and arrows, lit the rockets, and shot them directly.

shhhhhh!
Rays of fire rained down from the sky and fell into the village.

Their target, of course, is those weird mansions.

Li Yan thought that Wang Daoxuan meant that those mansions were difficult to ignite, but a strange wind blew up while the rocket was still in the air.

"Roar!"

The wind was howling, as if some wild animal was roaring.

Those rockets were extinguished instantly, and even spun in the air, swaying in all directions and scattering everywhere.

"I understand!"

Wang Daoxuan’s eyes widened and he cried out in surprise.

He quickly turned his head and looked at Feng Laohai, and asked anxiously: "What does that lunatic in your village always say?"

"It is said that they encountered the Night Dragon King."

"That's right!"

Wang Daoxuan looked solemn. He took out the compass and examined it carefully, but found that the needle was crooked. Sometimes it stopped moving and sometimes it was spinning rapidly.

After walking back and forth for a few circles, Wang Daoxuan stuffed the compass into his arms and said in a deep voice: "I know what they are doing."

Li Yan frowned, "Master, please tell me in detail."

Wang Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "Do you remember the Dragon King who was enslaved by Huo Jiao when we saw him in the Dragon King Temple outside Chongqing Prefecture?"

"of course I remember."

Li Yan asked, "Is it the same inside?"

That incident also left a deep impression on him.

Huo Jiao was originally a priest at the Dragon King's temple, but he enslaved the Dragon King to do things for him.

I have only heard of evil gods who went astray and secretly enslaved the people, but this is the first time I have seen the opposite.

But if Lord Jiangshen gets involved, it won't be surprising anymore.

He was an ancient water god who commanded the aquatic creatures in Shu. The dragon kings who were later worshipped were not even qualified to be his grandsons.

"I'm afraid it's even more powerful! Wait a minute..."

Wang Daoxuan suddenly thought of something, turned around quickly, took out a booklet from the bag behind Wu Ba, and flipped through it in the light of the fire.

The men from the Salt Gang looked at each other.

This was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

I was playing the game right now, how did he turn to the book?
Li Yan had some guesses in his mind.

This is the secret book they found from Huo Jiao.

The inheritance before Huo Jiao was called "Sigongjiao", which refers to the worship of the Four Dragon Kings. It was originally an orthodox religion of Xuanmen, which flourished in the Tang Dynasty and then gradually declined.

The key point is that this secret book records the names of various Dragon Kings, many of whom were canonized during the Tang Dynasty and their names are little known today.

No matter what the other party wants to do.

As long as you know the name, you can directly take action to deal with it.

"found it!"

Not long after, Wang Daoxuan turned to one of the pages and said in a deep voice: "This should be the Dragon King of the Rivers and Rivers, who is in charge of the Fu River and Tuo River in Shu."

Sharifei asked in confusion: "Master, how did you guess that?"

Wang Daoxuan shook his head and said, "This is a place to kill dragons. They built a house to disturb the yin and yang. It is obvious that they want to refine the Dragon King into a puppet."

"The imperial court does not confer titles randomly. It is to enjoy the national fortune and sacrifice. Although the Tang Dynasty has collapsed, the rank is still there."

"Only the Dragon King of the River and Water Palace is worthy of such great efforts. Once it is refined, it can secretly control the water gods that harm Shu."

Feng Laohai was filled with questions after hearing what they said. Although he was not familiar with the supernatural, he knew it was a big problem, so he asked quickly, "Master, do you have any magic tricks?"

"Of course there is."

Wang Daoxuan hurriedly asked Wu Ba to put down his luggage, take out various magical instruments, and find a place where the earth's Qi was condensed to set up an altar.

"It is hard to predict the human heart, and it is hard to deceive ghosts and gods."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Wang Daoxuan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "These secular gods, from the moment they were enthroned, were meant to protect one side."

“Even if the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, hundreds of years of incense and vows cannot be wiped out by evil magic. We only need to give them a push and reawaken the Dragon King, and these people will reap what they have sown!”

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at everyone, "I have a 'Dragon King's Precious Edict', which I will write down and give to you. When I perform the ritual later, all of you should pray and recite it sincerely."

Li Yan listened carefully and gained some understanding.

To put it bluntly, these secular gods all arise from human hearts. With the condensation of incense and vows, they gradually become extraordinary over time.

It's like a peach, the outside is rotten but the inside remains unchanged.

Just give it a push and maybe a miracle will happen.

Just like the Dragon King who was enslaved by Huo Jiao at that time, once he was able to escape, he would still pull Huo Jiao with him even if he was reduced to ashes.

After setting up the altar, Wang Daoxuan looked at Li Yan and the others again, "I will perform a ritual later, and there will be strange phenomena in the village."

"Those people will come out to stop us if they notice something is wrong."

"Don't worry, Taoist priest!"

Li Yan waved his hand, and several people immediately gathered outside the altar.

Wang Daoxuan wants them to protect the law.

They didn't know how many people there were on the other side, so they were very cautious.

Li Yan and Wu Ba were guarding the front.

Both were experts in close combat and complemented each other.

Lu San and Sha Lifei were guarding the altar.

They all have long-range attack capabilities and are good at kung fu. They can not only protect Wang Daoxuan but also provide support to Li Yan.

This is why Li Yan dared to show up in such a high profile.

When several brothers get together, they are not afraid of any situation.

puff!
Wang Daoxuan lit the precious candle, waved the golden sword, spit water from his mouth, opened the altar, and then took out a piece of yellow paper.

After folding it three times and twice, it becomes a god tablet.

The wolf hair brush is dipped into cinnabar ink and the name of the Dragon King is written in one go.

Wang Daoxuan hesitated for a moment, then placed a straw man and a few metal arrows nearby to prevent any accidents.

If the Dragon King cannot wake up, we can only use the Seven Arrows Spell.

After making all the preparations, Wang Daoxuan flipped the Money Sword over and swung it three times in a circle on the Dragon God tablet, then three times in a circle.

Then, he closed his eyes and bowed his head, holding the sword in his left hand and tapping the wooden fish with his right hand, while he spoke:

"With all my heart, I bow down to you. The sea is my palace. The Yao Island is my blessing. I am the descendant of the heavenly race and the leader of the vast land. I hold the three heavens and command all spirits..."

This is the "Dragon King's Precious Edict", which is used to worship the Dragon King.

Seeing this, the people from the Salt Gang also hurriedly recited.

They were not very skilled at the beginning and their voices were uneven, but after reciting it several times, they gradually became uniform.

These salt gang men were beggars on the water, so they were respectful to the Dragon King on weekdays, so naturally they were very sincere when they recited.

Nearly a hundred people gathered, and the voices became louder and louder.

"Roar--!"

In the originally dark village, a strong wind blew again, but the sound seemed to pass through the holes and turned into the roar of a wild beast.

Soon, black fog rolled in the village, as if a huge creature was tumbling up and down, stirring up dust and stones all over the ground.

"Be bold!"

An angry voice sounded from the strange house.

"Get out and kill them!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
Accompanied by the sound of gongs, the gates of those strange houses suddenly opened and figures rushed out one after another.

The personnel among them are extremely complex.

Rushing in the front were monks and Taoist priests, a swordsman with scars all over his face, and a woman with a sinister look, all of whom were quite skilled.

Most of those behind were dressed like ordinary villagers, carrying knives, guns and firearms. They were well-equipped, but it looked like they had only practiced boxing and kicking for a few days.

There is still some distance from those mansions to the outside of the village.

Wang Daoxuan ignored all the principles and just focused on performing the ritual.

As the "Dragon King's Precious Edict" was chanted, the incense in the altar faded away, as if blown by the wind, swirling around the dragon god's tablet.

The roars of wild beasts in the wind also gradually changed.

"Roar--!"

"Roar--!"

"hold head high--!"

At first it was the sound of wild beasts, and later there was the sound of dragons roaring.

The secular gods who were enslaved and harmed by these people finally got a chance to catch their breath and launched direct revenge.

Suddenly, the wind in the village blew even stronger.

Those ordinary believers who were not good at martial arts were in trouble. The strong wind made them blind and they couldn't even tell the road.

Before he could react, he was knocked over by a huge rock blown by the strong wind.

As for the master in front, he was furious. He easily dodged the flying stones and rushed towards Li Yan and the others.

"hey-hey!"

Wu Ba smiled grimly, holding the axe and lowering his body.

The left hand is supporting the ground, a bit like the posture of a wild animal before pouncing.

boom!
The ground was covered with gravel and the man disappeared in an instant.

Wu Ba's magical powers and talents are all in his muscular body. Even though it is only hidden strength, its power is so astonishing that even the chemical strength cannot withstand it.

The first two people to rush over were two men.

One held a knife and the other held a gun.

Their eyes blurred for a moment before they saw Wu Ba approaching rapidly.

"Well done!"

The man holding the gun shook the gun barrel, and the gun tip immediately split into three shadows.

He was practicing the Meridian Spear, which originated from Shaolin but was popular in the Jiangnan area. He raised his hand and performed the Phoenix Three Nods move.

He used this trick very skillfully.

If Wu Ba doesn't dodge, he will be stabbed directly in the eye. If he dodges, he can immediately use the "hiding man in the gun" trick and attack from the side to take his life.

However, a voice almost like a reminder came from behind.

"Idiot, retreat!"

Before the man with the gun could react, he heard the rattling of chains in his ears and his body froze, unable to move.

puff!
Wu Ba rushed over and chopped him into pieces with an axe.

But it was Li Yan who used exquisite footwork and hid behind Wu Ba, and when he got closer, he could not be seen at all.

He had seen Taixuan Orthodox Sect use this move before, and it was perfect for cooperating with Wuba.

Wow!
Li Yan was not in a hurry to attack, but walked behind Wu Ba, with two soul-catching chains flying up and down, and anyone who dared to approach would be immobilized directly.

With his help, Wu Ba hardly had to worry about defense. He was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, chopping them down with his axe.

"Back off first! Back off first!"

Those people were considered experts, but they had never seen such a brutal and unreasonable fighting style, so they retreated in a hurry.

For a while, Li Yan and Wu Ba alone suppressed the group of people...
