Chapter 615: An Old Friend Comes to Chang'an

"Night Cryer?"

After the old Taoist heard this, his white eyebrows immediately huddled together.

Seeing this, the young man next to him hurriedly asked carefully: "Master, is there something wrong with this crying boy?"

The old Taoist rubbed his temple and asked, "Do you know the Dark Religion?"

"Disciple knows."

The young man quickly replied, "They originated from the secret priests of the Qin Palace in the past, and later hid in the Qinling Mountains for refuge, and rarely came into contact with outsiders. I heard that they understand the ancient 'Five Directions Yin Sacrifice', so most of their descendants are engaged in funeral affairs and hide in the market."

"Ah."

After hearing his disciple recite it by heart, the old Taoist nodded with satisfaction and said, "This crying boy at night is named Shen Sanyou. He was originally from the Yin Sect, but was later accepted into the Ming Sect. He has high aptitude, but later encountered some troubles and wandered around Chang'an. He has a good relationship with me."

The young man asked in confusion: "Master, since we are on good terms, why are you so worried? Why don't we go and help him?"

After hearing this, the Taoist priest's face turned bitter. "Although we have a good relationship, that person is a jerk and very difficult to deal with..."

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, let's go and take a look. If he knows that I pretended not to see anything, I don't know what bad things he will do."

After making up his mind, the old Taoist urged the team to speed up.

After a while, after turning a hill, they saw a large group of people gathered on the hillside ahead. There were monks and Taoists. They all looked like people from different lineages, and they all looked like they were there to watch the fun.

The old Taoist stood on tiptoe and looked inside through the crowd.

On the hillside, there was a man squatting on the rock on the left. He was wearing a green robe and was thin. He was carrying a funeral banner on his shoulder.

He was handsome, but hunched over, with a pale face, dark corners of eyes, and a look of listlessness, as if he had indulged in alcohol and sex too much.

It was Shen Sanyou, the night cryer in Chang'an City.

Opposite him stood an old man in a black robe, wearing a red square scarf on his head, with several bronze talismans hanging on a wide leather belt around his waist, and holding a long iron ruler in his hand.

The old man had a weathered face, but was quite fashionable. In the leather holster on his waist was a flintlock rifle made of ivory, which was very exquisite.

Seeing this, the old man from Kunlun Sect frowned slightly, bowed slightly to a man next to him, and whispered: "May I ask this Taoist friend, what happened?"

The person he was questioning was wearing a red robe and looked like a southerner. Hearing what he said, he laughed softly and said, "I don't know what happened, but he suddenly started fighting. Shen Sanyou is notoriously difficult to deal with, but I'm afraid I've hit a wall this time..."

"Oh, thank you."

The old Taoist nodded and said nothing more, his expression somewhat solemn.

The person next to me is right.

The person from Tongtian Sect on the right is not a good person either.

Tongtian Sect is mainly spread in the three provinces of Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou. Its techniques are extremely fierce and specifically target the soul.

The old man in front of me is called "Dilongzi".

He was originally the descendant of "Tulong Zhang", a tomb-robbing family in Luoyang. Later, he was hunted down for privately digging the royal tomb of Mangshan. He took the remaining scrolls of "Hanlong Jing" and joined Tongtian Sect.

He is highly skilled in Taoism and is considered an elder in the sect, but he has a very bad reputation.

But Shen Sanyou is not a nosy person, so why provoke him?

The one who had the same doubts as him was the Earth Dragon.

He said in a cold voice: "Ye Kulang, why don't you stay in Chang'an and come here to find trouble with me? Are you tired of living?"

Shen Sanyou tilted his head and chuckled, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few years. Why are you so arrogant?"

After that, he stood up carrying the spirit-calling banner, yawned and said, "I'm not idle, I just want to beat you up so that I can give you a greeting gift."

"Hahaha…"

Dilongzi laughed angrily, "I have many enemies in the martial arts world. No matter who I offend, it is not your turn to take care of it."

As he spoke, he looked around, as if he felt a little embarrassed to be forced like this, so he immediately took out seven coins from his pocket, put them in his mouth and chanted a spell, then suddenly threw them away.

clap clap clap!
Coins were scattered in the air, and as if magnets were born on the ground, they suddenly fell down and formed a seven-star spoon shape between the two of them.

Call ~
Suddenly, the wind howled and the dust swirled around, surrounding the seven copper coins and forming seven small whirlwinds.

After doing all this, the black-robed old man Di Longzi said coldly: "I am too lazy to bother with you, and it is not appropriate to shed blood at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. If you have the ability, come over and talk."

"Copper coin locks Beidou?"

There was someone present who knew the value of the item and exclaimed immediately.

The young man from Kunlun Sect quickly asked in a low voice: "Master, what does it mean to lock the Big Dipper with a copper coin?"

The old Taoist narrowed his eyes and explained, "Those seven coins are a unique magical tool of the Tongtian Sect, called Yin De Tong Bao. They are made by melting ancient coins to make magical coins, and they have extraordinary uses."

"After fixing the ground energy, we can set up an illusion array at any time and let Shen Sanyou pass through it. If we disturb the illusion array, then we can forget about fighting. We have no chance at all..."

As he was speaking, he saw Night Cryer Shen Sanyou spit and said with a smile: "You dare to show off this little trick."

Swish!
Before he finished speaking, the man jumped out.

But the strange thing was that he was originally in the air, facing the earth dragon, but he turned over, like a bat hanging upside down in the air.

After landing, he was facing away from the ground.

"it is good!"

The old Taoist priest from Kunlun Sect couldn't help but applaud.

Others may not know, but he has a good relationship with Shen Sanyou and knows that this is the other party's kung fu "Bat Hanging Upside Down", which imitates a bat and requires practicing blindfolded in a dark cave to listen to the wind and determine the position.

His movements are treacherous and he fights like a ghost at night.

This is also one of the sources of the other party's "night cry boy".

But Shen Sanyou came down, carrying the soul-calling banner, stepping backwards, and his toes touched the copper coins, which made a clinking sound. The whirlwind disappeared, and the copper coins gave off a foul smell, and black blood even seeped out from the ground around them.

"Shameless!"

Upon seeing this, the old Taoist priest from Kunlun Sect suddenly looked gloomy.

Some of the onlookers also showed disdain on their faces.

Just set up the formation, and there was even a corpse blood curse in the Yin De Tong Bao. If it weren't for Shen Sanyou's stepping on the evil, someone would have suffered a disaster.

Seeing Shen Sanyou breaking the formation with his counter-stepping technique, Dilongzi frowned, calmly took out a black pill from his bag and put it into his mouth.

Call ~
When Shen Sanyou stepped over the last coin, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a fireball. At the same time, he made a gesture with his left hand and slapped his right palm backhand.

Boom!

A muffled thunder sounded, and a fireball roared, heading straight for Shen Sanyou's back.

"Yin Fire Thunder!"

The old Taoist priest from Kunlun Sect had a gloomy look on his face. Suddenly a yellow talisman appeared in his hand, and he was about to step forward to save people.

One of the famous techniques of Tongtian Sect is the Five Thunder Palm.

This move uses the Yin Thunder Palm, combined with Yin Fire, which is even more ferocious and vicious. His Kunlun Snow Mountain Talisman can relieve the fire poison and treat it.

However, it was beyond his expectation.

Shen Sanyou was not panicked at all. He took a step forward, twisted his body strangely, and hung upside down again, barely avoiding it.

The Yin Fire Thunder also fell on the opposite jungle and exploded with a loud bang. A strange green phosphorous fire rose up, igniting the wet bushes and thick smoke billowing.

As for Shen Sanyou, when he was in the air, a mouth harp carved from wood struck by lightning appeared in his mouth, and he played the funeral tune.

It was like crying and complaining, and everyone who heard it was sad.

The earth dragon was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly woke up and pulled out a flintlock rifle from his waist.

"stop!"

Just then, an angry shout rang out.

But then several figures were seen coming from a distance, they were Ling Yunzi of Qingcheng Sect, Li Yan and others.

That night, after Li Yan and his companions took the treasure from the Dragon Palace, they returned to Chengdu and reunited with the Yu family father and son who were hiding the treasure in Shu, and got the spiritual tea that they had made for them.

Later, they asked the Huangling Sect's escort agency to escort them. After all, they had too much stuff, including a heavy iron rhinoceros.

After several days of wandering, they finally arrived at Qingcheng. They still stayed in Chaoyang Cave, and after settling down, they followed Ling Yunzi to the foot of the mountain to visit Madam Bai and Master Xiaoyue, asking when Long Yaner would come out of seclusion.

All in all, it was a busy time.

I just returned to the mountain and didn't expect to encounter this incident.

Ling Yunzi dodged and stood between the two of them. He clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "You two, I said it when I posted it. No fighting is allowed on Qingcheng Mountain. Those who violate the order will be disqualified. Please give me some face."

His words were both soft and hard, and very thoughtful.

Obviously, he had grown after the battle at the Shu Palace.

"Humph!"

The Earth Dragon on the opposite side snorted coldly and sneered: "It was the madman on the opposite side who started it first. Does he want me to open my eyes and get beaten?"

"Is this how you entertain guests at Qingcheng Mountain?"

His words were hard yet soft.

The Tongtian Sect has a bad reputation, but after all, it is just a lineage. It does not have a strong foundation and does not have any hidden treasures.

He also had a lot of important matters to attend to this time.

It would be a big trouble if we couldn’t get up the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunzi turned his head to look at Shen Sanyou who looked indifferent, and became angry.

But at this moment, Li Yan next to him suddenly spoke.

"Brother, long time no see."

Li Yan was happy to see Shen Sanyou, his old friend from Chang'an, but he also felt a headache.

Shen Sanyou can really cause trouble sometimes, but we can't just ignore him.

"Oh, do you know each other?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunzi suppressed his anger.

"Don't dare."

Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Shen Sanyou said with a smile: "He is now famous all over the world, how can he still remember me?"

Li Yan was speechless, "Don't joke at this time, brother."

"No kidding."

Shen Sanyou blinked and looked at Dilongzi, "I'm not afraid that you will forget your old friend, so I beat him up and go up the mountain to give you a gift first."

Li Yan was stunned, turned his head to look at Di Longzi, frowned and said: "I don't know him at all, why would I beat him?"

Shen Sanyou was still as carefree as ever, curling his lips and saying, "Do you remember Zhao Luzi? Your brother was almost killed by him in Yuzhou, and his life or death is still unknown..."

"what?"

Li Yan's heart trembled and he turned his head suddenly.

When he heard Zhao Luzi's name, Dilongzi's eyebrows twitched slightly. He became alert and held down the flintlock.

Although the imperial court concealed the affairs of the Shu King's Palace and prohibited the people from discussing them, people in the Xuanmen sect learned a lot through various channels.

Li Yan's reputation also spread throughout China.

The Tiansheng Sect, the Wushan Immortals, Lu Sheng, the Four Demons of the Southwest... almost all of these famous names fell into his hands.

Not to mention, there is an even more vicious Zhao Changsheng.

Even if he is a living ghost messenger, this record is enough to attract everyone's attention and has caught the attention of many people.

The Tongtian Sect was a mixed bag of good and bad people, and several of its members participated in the rebellion of the King of Shu and died at the hands of people like Li Yan.

Dilongzi had other important matters to attend to in the mountains, and he had no relationship with those disciples, so one of the people he least wanted to meet was Li Yan.

Unexpectedly, we met again.

Swish!
Before he could say anything, his vision suddenly blurred.

So fast!

Dilongzi was startled and raised his gun immediately.

Although he is old, he is not old-fashioned. Since the emergence of new firearms, he has become interested in it. He tried every means to get a gun license and paid a large sum of money to have someone forge this weapon.

Not to mention, it's really convenient to use. I've already killed two enemies, so I subconsciously wanted to shoot and threaten them.

But just as he raised his hand, Li Yan turned sideways, slightly raised his right palm, and slapped him in the face with a strong wind.

The earth dragon subconsciously stared at his palm and stepped back.

However, he did not expect that Li Yan had already used the flower-hiding-under-a-leaf technique with his left hand, reaching out from his blind spot, followed by a silk-entwining hand move.

Galala!
The sound of bone cracking sounded.

Before Dilongzi could raise his right hand holding the gun, he was pressed down by him, and then he twisted it with his strength, causing the gun to fall and the bone to break.

This old man had only been using firearms for a few days. How could he compare to Li Yan's proficiency? He couldn't even lift his gun.

"Hmm~"

Dilongzi was also a ruthless man. The severe pain only made him groan. He then rolled over to avoid it and used his intact left hand to grab the bronze plate on his waist.

But at this moment, Ling Yunzi next to him moved.

He leaned forward and thrust out the sword finger of his right hand, hitting Dilongzi's wrist.

There was a clicking sound, and the bone of his left wrist shattered. The bronze plate in his hand fell to the ground, and evil aura filled the air, emitting black smoke. A twisted head formed, and then gradually shrank back.

"Master!"

When several Tongtian Sect disciples nearby saw this, they were immediately filled with anger and were about to rush forward.

"Don't even move!"

Dilongzi gritted his teeth and snorted to stop him. Then he looked at Lingyunzi with gloomy eyes, "You guys from Qingcheng Mountain want to break the rules?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

In the distance, Sharifei was playing with his flintlock rifle and said jokingly, "The rule is that you can't fight on the mountain. Aren't we still at the foot of the mountain?"

Shen Sanyou, who was standing next to him, was also happy when he heard this. He gave Sharifei a thumbs up and said, "You're right. We're still at the bottom of the mountain. Brother Li can beat you to death without any problem!"

Dilongzi ignored the two funny guys and looked at Lingyunzi.

He wanted to see how Qingcheng Mountain would handle this matter in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yunzi just shook his head slightly, then turned to Li Yan and bowed, saying: "Young Master Li, it seems that you have something to do. After you go up the mountain, you can go find the headmaster on your own."

"Okay, Taoist priest, you are busy."

After giving some instructions, Ling Yunzi turned around and went up the mountain without even looking at Di Longzi.

When the people around saw it, they were shocked.

The Tongtian Sect is naturally not as good as the Qingcheng Sect. They are even active in Shu, and their relations are not that good on a normal day.

But this is a cellar opening ceremony, and Qingcheng Mountain has set its own rules.

Even if it hurts your reputation, you have to show your partiality...

Where does Li Yan get so much face?

Everyone was curious, but Li Yan had a gloomy expression as he looked at Di Longzi and the Tongtian Sect disciples.

And Sharifei also raised his musket and aimed, while Lu San and Wang Daoxuan blocked the other end. What made everyone's scalp tingle was that Wu Ba actually carried a small cannon...

"Twelve Yuanchen!"

Only then did everyone remember that Li Yan was not alone.

The Earth Dragon's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said, "I admit defeat, your brother Zhao Luzi is not dead!"

"He ran away and cheated on me with a woman..."
