Knife splashing

Chapter 567 News from Fengdu

Could it be... the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun?

Li Yan's eyes lit up and he walked forward excitedly.

Chengdu Prefecture is now filled with demonic energy, although they also have many allies, such as Zhulin Liuxian and the upcoming Qingcheng reinforcements.

But Li Yan was always a little nervous.

He knew that the most crucial link had not been found yet.

He also had a vague premonition that the root of all these events was related to Erlang Zhenjun, but his reincarnated body appeared and disappeared mysteriously, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The deepest impression of this wealthy guest from Chengdu is his fondness for mutton. It is hard not to make him think of roasted mutton in the middle of the night.

At this moment, the night was like a dome, the stars and the moon were invisible, and the wind and snow were howling all around, making the pier pitch black in the middle of the night.

Perhaps because of the frequent strange incidents, even the large and small fishing boats docked at the pier were empty.

The fishing lights are gone, only snow covers the boatside.

Li Yan walked quickly in the flying snow, while pinching the Yang Jue and using all his magical powers to search, hoping to find the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun.

But after taking only two steps, he stopped with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"come out!"

Li Yan held the scabbard with his left hand and looked forward coldly.

All of a sudden, the wind stopped and the snow melted away. There was dead silence. A light mist rose from the ground and soon it became blurry, and the river in the distance could no longer be seen.

"A living ghost?"

Li Yan looked around and his face turned ugly.

He had just investigated and found that someone was following him and surrounding him, obviously with bad intentions.

Given the current situation in Chengdu Prefecture, this is not surprising.

No matter if it is the Palace of the Prince of Shu, the Ghost Troupe, or the Dragon Worshiping Cult, they all have a grudge against him and he will not let go if he finds an opportunity.

But I never expected that it was actually a living ghost!
Wu Qu was disheartened because someone from the Huangquan organization betrayed him and killed his best friend, so he decided to quit the organization.

Some secrets about the live Yin Messenger were also told to him. Combined with what he saw in Fengdu, Li Yan had figured out the current live Yin Messenger system.

All in all, it's a hodgepodge.

Its core classic is the "Six Paths Sutra", and its techniques are a fusion of Buddhism and Taoism, as well as some characteristics of lineages. It is divided into "Ksitigarbha Volume" and "Xuanming Volume".

The registration for their practice is the Three Great Ordinations.

The Yinlu precepts, the impermanence precepts and the Yama precepts.

As long as one's cultivation is sufficient and one abides by the precepts, one can obtain the magical powers of the underworld, such as the underworld precepts which are the soul-catching ropes.

It seems that the difficulty of getting started has been reduced.

But Li Yan knew that the upper limit of the number of living ghost messengers had been locked.

The formation that now trapped him was surrounded by evil energy rising up and gathering in the air, forming six whirlpools invisible to ordinary people, arranged in the shape of a dipper.

These are the six stars of the Southern Dipper.

It is the "Southern Dipper Six Stars Soul-Locking Formation" in the Xuanming Volume.

Li Yan really couldn't understand why these people were looking for trouble with him?
Call ~
As soon as he finished speaking, thick fog rose in front of him.

But then an old man dressed as a merchant, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a Zen stick, slowly walked out of the fog.

He raised his head, and beneath his bamboo hat were a pair of eyes filled with resentment, while his right hand began to make hand gestures.

"No hurries!"

Li Yan frowned and snorted coldly, "If you want to take action, you have to explain the situation clearly. You want to die in a confused state, but I don't want to kill you in a confused state!"

He said this, firstly to express his doubts and secondly to delay time.

There are more enemies surrounding him than just the one in front of him.

"Southern Dipper Six Stars Soul-Locking Formation". Considering the opponent's level of Taoism, it would take at least six people to set up the "Southern Dipper Six Stars Soul-Locking Formation" to trap him here.

Also, there is a creepy feeling on the back.

There are also masters hiding in the dark.

Or, using a new type of firearm to aim.

As long as you reveal a flaw, the other party will attack immediately!
"Hahaha…"

Hearing Li Yan's question, the middle-aged man dressed as a merchant let out a shrill laugh and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll let you die knowingly!"

"The Huangquan organization has split, and it's all because of you!"

"what?!"

After hearing this, Li Yan was obviously surprised.

He heard from Wu Qu that the Huangquan organization had grown in size over the years, but it was also a mixed bag and filled with different voices.

There was even a quarrel because of him, and ultimately he did not join the Huangquan organization because of these people's opposition.

Unexpectedly, there was a sequel.

Seeing that Li Yan looked normal, the man became even more angry and yelled, "You little bastard, if it weren't for you doing something wrong, things wouldn't have turned out like this..."

"court death!"

A fierce light flashed in Li Yan's eyes, and he suddenly stepped forward.

This time, a gap was revealed.

But this was also a lure. The moment he took the first step, his supporting foot suddenly exerted force and flew out diagonally with a whoosh.

boom!
Fire roared in the darkness.

Where he had been standing, gravel scattered everywhere in an instant.

Sure enough, someone was shooting from behind. Perhaps they were afraid that he would notice, so they shot from a distance and used magical powers to assist.

If he didn't also know about firearms, he would have suffered.

The man dressed as a merchant opposite him was obviously ready at any time. When he saw him dodge the hidden gun, he took action immediately.

I saw this person holding a seal with his left hand and a staff in his right hand. He moved his feet and slammed the ground hard.

In an instant, the surrounding scene changed drastically:

The black snow and wind howled, as if the air was frozen into ice needles. Countless people were naked, covered with frozen blisters, and their flesh and blood were scraped away by the cold wind, revealing the frozen blood.

The shrill wails were like the roar of a mountain and the sea.

Hear, see, smell...

All of them strike at people's nerves.

However, Li Yan looked calm and not panicked at all.

This is the secret method in the "Ksitigarbha Scroll" of the Living Yin Messenger:
The Eight Cold Hells!
The so-called eight cold hells are the hell with blisters, the hell with cracked blisters, the hell with clenched teeth, the hell with chirping, and the hell with whirring.

The Eight Cold Hell Techniques, combined with the Southern Dipper Six-Star Soul-Locking Formation, can make people feel like they are falling into hell. Those whose spirits are not firm will have their souls shattered on the spot.

It looks scary, but fake is fake.

He drew out the Dust-Breaking Sword with a clang, and with his steps interlaced, as if he was teleporting, he rushed towards the man who looked like a merchant.

boom!
Another gunshot rang out behind him, but he missed the target.

Just as Li Yan was approaching, he suddenly pulled out a flintlock rifle from his waist with his left hand and pulled the trigger forward.

With a loud bang, flames and smoke splashed everywhere.

The man who looked like a merchant was startled when he saw Li Yan drawing his gun. He stopped casting spells and jumped out.

However, he made a complete misjudgment.

Li Yan used a musket to make up for the shortcomings of medium-range combat. Since he found that the enemy was getting stronger, he gave up shooting directly.

Therefore, flintlock muskets are loaded with loose pellets.

It has great power and wide coverage.

Puff puff!
After a few muffled thuds, the man suddenly let out a scream and rolled to the ground. His right calf was already a bloody mess.

At the same time, the scenes of the eight cold hells around disappeared.

Seeing Li Yan approaching, he also got ruthless and threw away his staff. He made hand gestures and chanted: "Om! Ban! Zha! Sa! Duo! Hum!"

The "Ksitigarbha Scroll" and the "Xuanming Scroll" each have three major secret methods, both of which are a fusion of the Buddhist and Taoist traditions.

This is exactly the "Vajrasattva Sin-Eliminating Mantra" in the "Ksitigarbha Scroll".

The sound of the incantations is as loud as the sound of a huge bell.

If ordinary people hear this, they will definitely be shocked.

However, Li Yan had the arm guard "Thousand Thoughts" to protect him, and the copper coins on his left arm made a rustling sound, which directly disrupted the spell.

"What are you waiting for!" Seeing that the secret method was useless, the merchant's eyes were filled with fear and he screamed.

Wow!
On his body, the sound of invisible chains was heard.

It was the soul-catching rope of the living ghost, and he obviously wanted to use this magical power to block it.

But this is no different from showing off one's knowledge in front of an expert.

His soul-catching rope was no more than one meter long, and its ability to gather Yin Qi made it completely unnecessary for Li Yan.

clang!
Li Yan blocked with his left arm, and the evil energy gathered by the arm guard "Thousand Thoughts" easily swung away the soul-catching rope, and then he swung the knife.

Blood splattered and heads flew everywhere.

"Big brother!"

A shrill cry came from the darkness in the distance.

Then, a sinister voice sounded.

"At that time the World-honored One emitted great light that illuminated the land of Yama..."

After hearing this, Li Yan's eyes became even more murderous.

This was the spell in the current "Six Paths Sutra" that summoned the soldiers of the underworld. It was completely different from his "Luofeng Sutra", but the power was the same.

In order to kill him, these people actually used the Gangling!
Without any hesitation, after chopping off the merchant's head, Li Yan leaped again and jumped seven or eight meters to the right.

With a loud bang, the merchant's body was blown to pieces by the musket.

It takes time to reload the magazine of the new musket, so Li Yan gave up dodging left and right. He dragged the knife in his right hand, tapped the ground with his toes, and rushed towards the direction of the sound as if he was chasing a cicada in eight steps.

At the same time, the other party also summoned the soldiers of the underworld.

Call ~
Suddenly, a strong cold wind blew around.

The "Southern Dipper Six Stars Soul-Locking Formation" set up by these people was dispersed by the evil energy of the Netherworld almost immediately.

The deep darkness filled the air, accompanied by the sound of armor.

Li Yan was not afraid at all and rushed into the darkness with a knife.

The formation collapsed, and those people appeared. There were men and women, dressed differently but all gorgeously.

There was another person in the distance, holding a magic gun in his hand.

There are taboos in summoning soldiers from the underworld, so these people didn't dare to watch. They all closed their eyes and waited for Li Yan to die.

In the darkness, the sound of chains continued.

Li Yan ignored him and walked forward with the certificate in his hand.

Wherever he passed, the ghost soldiers retreated.

He is now the "Heavenly Official". The secular gods on earth retreat and the soldiers of the underworld cannot arrest him at will.

Completing the Fengdu Dafa can be regarded as registering in Fengdu.

These evil soldiers are not qualified to capture him.

Click!

When he arrived in front of a woman who was setting up the formation, Li Yan twisted her head off without hesitation, and then chopped off another person's head with a knife.

He already knew the identities of these people.

Most of them were those who opposed his joining in the first place.

The warrants for the living ghost messenger are issued very randomly.

Not everyone is willing to uphold the right path, and there are many people in the Huangquan organization who use their identities to seek personal gain.

Judging from their clothes, none of them are poor.

Li Yan broke the agreement, which naturally made these people unhappy.

Just as he expected, the six people who set up the formation had low levels of Taoism. However, they had just entered the first floor and were able to set up the formation successfully by relying on their numbers.

They closed their eyes, and before they could figure out what was going on, they lost their lives.

But at the same time, the ghost soldiers who were unable to catch anyone quickly dispersed.

The darkness mixed with the cold wind disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The man holding the gun was a middle-aged man.

What surprised Li Yan was that the other party was wearing the uniform of the Duwei Division, a black robe and official boots, and a silver-embroidered Taotie. He should be a gunner trained by the Duwei Division.

Unexpectedly, the Huangquan organization also infiltrated.

This person also had supernatural powers. When he heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes quickly and saw Li Yan approaching with a knife. He screamed as if he had seen a ghost, "You...how are you still alive!"

After saying that, he raised his gun and shot.

puff!puff!
As soon as he moved, two knife lights flashed by.

It was Li Yan who activated two soul-breaking flying knives and stabbed them directly into the palms of his hands from a distance of ten meters.

The magic gun fell to the ground with a crash.

"what--!"

The man screamed, and then felt the coldness spreading from his arm and quickly spread throughout his body, as if he was frozen. He could only watch Li Yan approach.

"I ask, you tell."

Li Yan's eyes were cold. "If you dare to say a word of nonsense, I will cut you into a human stick. Huangquan Organization, what happened?"

The man was obviously frightened by Li Yan.

It was the first time he had seen someone who was not afraid of the soldiers of the underworld, and he stammered as he explained the reason.

But it is related to Wu Qu.

A few days ago, Huang Quan organized a party. Wu Qu was so angry that he went there and made a big fuss, saying that there was a traitor who betrayed him.

There was already some division within the Huangquan organization, and some people took the opportunity to act weirdly and forced everyone to take an oath.

He originally wanted to cause trouble for his enemy, but he didn't expect that someone would actually panic and try to run away immediately.

Only after being caught by the masters of the Huangquan organization did he find out the reason.

These are the people who leaked the information.

A group of people had already got hold of something against them, and they were even planning to collude with them on this day to detonate the explosives hidden on the ship when they boarded the ship to go to the famous mountain to worship.

This was a vicious plan. The ship was filled with new gunpowder and covered with precious magical tools, making it impossible for magical powers to detect.

There were many mysterious people hiding in the river near Fengdu. When they saw them inspecting the boat, they knew that their plan was exposed and fled away.

Although they escaped disaster, the Huangquan organization was in complete chaos. They blamed each other and even fought each other that day.

Finally, several leaders and seniors of the Huangquan Organization said that the world was changing drastically, and they were afraid that the hunting of living Yincha would start again.

Given the current organizational situation, targeted attacks will not stop, so the Huangquan organization has completely split apart amid mutual suspicion.

At this point, you will only interact with people you trust.

Many of the former ghost messengers also changed their identities and left.

This group of people are all in cahoots with each other, using their identities as living ghost messengers to make money. Now that the Huangquan organization has split, their protectors have also dispersed for the sake of profit...

They came to Chengdu and wanted to exchange their houses and land for silver notes.

Someone happened to be negotiating with someone in Mingxiang Pavilion and discovered his whereabouts. However, he didn't bring the warrant with him, so he was not discovered by him.

"Humph, the underworld must be blind to find you!"

Li Yan sneered, then frowned and said, "No, you are all outsiders. This dock is not far from the shack area. With such a big commotion, who can help you cover it up?"

"Yes...it's the local ship owner."

The captain's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice: "I will use the captain's command card to ask them to help clear the area."

"What an idiot, he didn't even know he was sold..."

Li Yan cursed and swung his knife.

Before the head hit the ground, he turned around and looked towards the dock.

Suddenly, the calm water surface began to surge, and a rotten wooden boat rose up, with bronze coffins tied to it with iron chains.

On the bow of the boat, an old fisherman was rowing the boat. His face was as pale as a death and his eyes were pitch black.

Click!
The terrifying evil aura caused ice to form around the hull.

Li Yan seemed to realize something, "Water Ghost Craftsman, Master Tian Qi?"

The visitor was none other than one of the evil leaders from the southwest under the command of the King of Shu.

But just as Li Yan was on guard, the old fisherman suddenly looked to the right as if he had seen a ghost.

But in the opposite cabin, a man with a beard and brocade clothes came out carrying a leg of lamb, cursing:
"You guys keep hitting me, are you ever going to stop?"
