Chapter 176

The Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen can devour the good fortune of heaven and earth.

Several times of absorbing heaven and earth treasures, the power can be roughly divided into two types: one is to repair the defects of the Dharma body, and the other is to increase its strength.

But now this power is completely different...

In the dantian, the Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen floated slowly.

After several absorptions of good fortune, the current Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen not only has clear facial features, exactly the same as Li Yan, but its texture has also become ceramic-like, emitting a glazed luster.

Because of entering the Dao by beating drums during the day, and using the Dharma body to repair internal injuries time and again, the surface is already covered with cracks, like a cracked porcelain.

This strand of power is pale gold.

After being absorbed by the Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen, it neither repaired the damage nor increased the strength, but instead quickly gathered in the left palm of the god statue.

In the left palm of the god statue, the Gou Die fell and left a mark, and a chain spread out from inside, winding around the arm, representing the supernatural power of the Yin Division's Soul-Hooking Rope.

And this golden power actually merged directly into the Gou Die, and spread outward, dyeing the Soul-Hooking Rope pale gold.

Li Yan can perceive that both the strength and length of the Soul-Hooking Rope have increased, reaching three feet.

This thing can actually enhance supernatural powers!

Li Yan was both surprised and happy in his heart.

Supernatural powers are related to Dao cultivation.

Originally, after inheriting the Soul-Hooking Rope, it could only extend one foot from the palm. Later, after building the tower and practicing day and night, it only reached two feet or more.

Now that it has reached three feet, the attack effect is completely different.

Dealing with experts also gives him a winning trump card.

Unfortunately, this power is very little, and it disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

Li Yan felt regretful in his heart and carefully observed the artifact in his hand.

People in the Chu region worship the phoenix, especially during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Unearthed cultural relics have many phoenix patterns, such as the "Phoenix Bird Double Linked Ring," "Tiger-Seated Phoenix Frame Drum," and "Phoenix Dragon Tiger Embroidered Silk Robe," which can be described as having thousands of postures.

And this one in his hand should be folk craftsmanship, the style is a bit rough, held in the hand it is like a token, and it is somewhat similar to the Divine Tiger Order.

Perhaps it is because of the long age that many patterns have become blurry, half-twisted, and the texture is not pure.

Perhaps, it was refined by some folk Dharma lineage...

Seeing Li Yan carefully examining it, Yuan Ba also felt uneasy in his heart.

He has a mischievous personality and doesn't speak properly. All the talk about ancient divine artifacts was bragging. It was just something he accidentally obtained when overturning an altar and breaking a temple.

Although it has some power to suppress evil, it has already been damaged.

The greatest value now is that it is made of pure gold, but compared to the quota of the Huashan cellar, it is simply not worth mentioning.

"Not to mention how powerful they are, once they are killed, the plague and ominous qi will immediately spread, leaving endless trouble. They can only be suppressed and slowly worn down by borrowing innate gang qi or the power of incense."

I wonder if I can fool him...

Li Yan watched for a while and looked back at the people behind him.

Manager Wan nodded slightly, signaling him to make his own decision.

"Brother Yuan is too polite."

Li Yan laughed and tucked the phoenix gold ornament into his bosom.

Yuan Ba felt much more relaxed and cupped his hands, preparing to leave.

Li Yan hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Yuan, I am very interested in this object. Can you tell me where you got it?"

What he is interested in is naturally the mysterious power within it.

Seeing him being straightforward, Yuan Ba didn't hide it, shook his head and said: "I got this thing in the mountains near the ancient Yunmeng Marsh."

"Yunmeng?"

Li Yan frowned, lost in thought.

The ancient Yunmeng was in the Jingchu region, a large gathering area of lakes, said to be the hunting ground of the King of Chu. After the changes of time, by the Tang and Song Dynasties, most of the area had become land.

People today can only watch Dongting Lake and imagine the magnificence and dreaminess of the Yunmeng Great Marsh in ancient times.

This phoenix gold order is a Dharma artifact that turned into a heaven and earth treasure. This is the first time he has encountered it, and he doesn't know what secret is hidden...

Just then, there was a commotion in the distance.

"What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Didn't you see that my clothes were burned!"

"Pay up!"

"Yes, pay up quickly!"

Li Yan looked up, and it was Yuan Ba's team that encountered trouble.

Several men were deliberately laughing and making trouble, passing under the incense dragon. They were dressed in luxury, and their clothes were all made of silk, which were immediately burned with many small holes by the falling incense ash.

At this moment, they were grabbing the men dancing the dragon and refusing to let go, cursing and swearing, their mouths full of filthy language.

"Looking for trouble, right!"

The man dancing the dragon also had a violent temper, directly threw the bamboo pole in his hand, grabbed one of them, and slapped him several times.

"They're hitting people! They're hitting people!"

Those few men were also rascals. Some went up to tear at them, some rolled on the ground, and others shouted and called for help.

Someone is looking for trouble!

Li Yan saw the trick at a glance.

These guys were clearly here to make trouble.

Where did they get the courage?

Sure enough, this move angered Yuan Ba and his master.

The Mystic Sect sorcerers from Xiangchu are polite, but their explosive temper is the background color, so they rushed up immediately.

Their moves were also ruthless, directly using dark energy, and with a few "peng peng" sounds, they kicked those men seven or eight meters away.

Of course, they didn't use lethal force.

Those men were just in pain and didn't suffer internal injuries.

But this move was like poking a hornet's nest.

"They're killing people, they're killing people!"

"These people are really overbearing!"

Among the onlookers, some people immediately fanned the flames.

Seeing this, Yuan Ba and his master's faces changed.

After all, they were outsiders, and coupled with the imperial court's increasingly strict supervision of the Mystic Sect, if things got out of hand, it would be difficult to end.

"Retreat first!"

Yuan Ba's master looked toward the north, his face gloomy, and instructed everyone to stop the performance and move to the side.

But a huge team was walking toward here.

This team's Divine Tower was the largest, but it was a trick.

Many places were hollow, such as the temple pillars, which were wooden boards painted with red lacquer on the outside, looking gorgeous but somewhat floating.

Even so, it was quite shocking visually.

Their team carrying the tower had a hundred people, all strong and sturdy, wearing jujube-red coats, exposing half of their arms, with fierce faces, and sticks inserted in their waists.

It didn't look like they were carrying a tower, but rather like they were going to fight.

The shaman drum orchestra behind them had even more people, shirtless, wearing ferocious masks, beating drums and moving forward, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

Although they didn't show any unique skills, the large number of people, coupled with various costumes, actually had quite a momentum, which was extremely eye-catching on the whole street.

It was exactly the Fire Bear Gang team!

Yuan Ba was annoyed, cursed a few times, and then said: "Master, it must be these people making trouble, let's teach them a lesson!"

"Teach them what lesson?"

The old man snorted, "It's the Lantern Festival today, with so many people, you still want to release the Chang soldiers? Do you want to die!"

"Also, look who that is!" Yuan Ba looked over and saw that in the team carrying the tower in front, there were also several sorcerers with strange appearances.

There was a monk who was burly, holding a convenient shovel, with a string of bone prayer beads hanging around his neck, looking fierce, with a ferocious scar across his right eye.

His right eyeball was completely white and terrifying.

There was also an old Daoist, wearing a patchwork robe, with a large gourd on his back and a short sword at his waist, looking neither fish nor fowl.

What caught Yuan Ba's attention was an old woman, who didn't look young, wearing a black robe, with white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and large and small leather bags hanging from her waist.

"It's that old witch 'Silver Flower Snake'!"

Yuan Ba saw this, his eyes flickering, "How did she run to Chang'an."

"Not just her."

Yuan Ba's master said coldly: "Those few are not good goods either, harming many people in private, and it's just that they haven't been caught by the Law Enforcement Hall."

"The team in front is a gang in Changancheng. Those few guys must want to borrow their power to get a spot, so they are colluding."

!.

"They sent people to harass us, probably because they don't want to conflict with us. Just let them go, don't bother."

Although Yuan Ba was annoyed in his heart, he didn't object.

His master was right. Changancheng had been in turmoil for a while, and no one expected that the biggest beneficiary would be the Fire Bear Gang.

Bai Bai Ruoxu's Maitreya Sect identity was exposed, the tooth-row in Changancheng was swept through, and there were officials in the government who took advantage of the situation to swallow up the tooth-row industry...

Tie Feng, the son of Tie Tie Shigu, was also implicated because he was close friends with Bai Bai Ruoxu, and his savings of many years were wiped out, disappearing sadly...

Feng Feng Feiyan's Fenglai Inn also didn't escape...

Some people were unlucky, and some naturally ate until their mouths were oily.

The officials who were brothers in the yamen all turned into ferocious beasts, looting and looting, and spent a fat year.

The Five Elements were seriously injured and were simply not the opponents of the Fire Bear Gang.

The new president of the Foot-Walking Association went to the Fire Bear Gang station the day after Tie Tie Shigu left and called Xiong Xiong Baodong his brother.

Many industries of the tooth-row were hot potatoes, and the officials in Changancheng took them and sold them, all of which were obtained by Xiong Xiong Baodong at a low price.

It can be said that this turmoil allowed the Fire Bear Gang to hide behind and eat until their mouths were oily, and their strength also improved rapidly.

And the Five Elements, who were not on good terms with him, also fell apart.

This was no different from a pie falling from the sky, making Xiong Xiong Baodong unable to close his mouth with joy.

For a while, he even held a banquet for more than ten days to celebrate.

There were more good things than these.

The Huashan cellar opening also attracted many side-door experts.

They had a bad reputation and originally wanted to form a team to win a spot, but because of the Maitreya Sect incident, the Metropolitan Commandery and the Law Enforcement Hall were arresting people everywhere.

These guys felt guilty, so they found Xiong Xiong Baodong, and both sides hit it off and formed a team together.

With the help of these side-door sorcerers, Xiong Xiong Baodong had a bigger appetite, so he threatened many teams before the assembly.

Now there were ten ritual flags hanging on his Divine Tower!

You must know that there were only twenty-four teams in total.

And behind those side-door sorcerers was the leader, Xiong Xiong Baodong.

At this moment, Xiong Xiong Baodong could be described as satisfied. He was already huge, and in a black fur coat, he looked like a black bear walking, his momentum overbearing.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing the Xiangchu team retreat, he laughed and said to the sorcerers: "This spot is limited and very valuable. Gentlemen, why don't we get a few more?"

He was now strong and had recruited many side-door experts, and coupled with his connection with the Li family this time, he no longer needed to look at the face of the Shangshan Dharma Sect.

As for the side-door sorcerers on the road in Shanzhou, he didn't even put them in his eyes.

"No need."

The black-clothed, white-haired old witch said coldly: "That pair of master and apprentice came from Xiangchu, and they have a deep relationship with the Meishan Dharma Sect. It's just one spot, not worth provoking Meishan."

Xiong Xiong Baodong smiled: "That's fine, anyway, the spots are enough today. Hand them over to the Daoists of the City God Temple early, and take you all to Hua'e Pavilion to have fun!"

"Hahaha."

The one-eyed big monk laughed immediately, touching his bald head, his eyes full of lust, "Gang Leader Xiong, then this monk won't be polite."

Xiong Xiong Baodong smiled slightly, "Monk Xiaoyue, just play, but there is one thing that must be made clear. Behind that Hua'e Pavilion is a nobleman from the capital. Don't kill anyone, or there will be a pile of trouble."

"Rest assured, this monk will hold back."

The big monk understood, obviously somewhat impatient.

The two teams crossed, and the Fire Bear Gang people charged and bumped, even pushing away the men carrying the tower of the Xiangchu team, making Yuan Ba and his master's eyes burn with fire.

But they had other important matters and didn't want to cause extra trouble, so they had to swallow their anger.

Manager Wan also didn't want to cause trouble.

Seeing the Fire Bear Gang team charging over, he sighed and hurriedly ordered the team to avoid to the side.

Li Yan looked at the crowd and didn't speak.

He didn't care, but others had scruples.

Manager Wan still had to mix in Xianyang and Changancheng, and his disciples and grandchildren were all craftsmen who worked hard.

The Zuo Family Troupe from Huayin and the Xianyang Drum Orchestra were the same. Even Guo Luquan lowered his head, and some men carrying the tower even had fear in their eyes.

To fight for a breath, you have to look at the situation.

If they caused trouble today, it would be fine to lose the spot, but they would definitely be retaliated against by the Fire Bear Gang afterward.

Even if they knew sorcery, how could they deal with so many people, not to mention that the other side hired side-door sorcerers who were better at fighting.

However, they wanted to retreat, but others wouldn't let them go.

Xiong Xiong Baodong saw Li Yan in the crowd, and the bad memory of the night of the sorcery fight surged again, his face suddenly turning gloomy.

"Go, get the flag of that old ghost!"

With an order, several Fire Bear Gang men jumped out of the crowd and walked toward Manager Wan in a swaggering manner.

They were arrogant today, directly raising their chins and cursing: "Old thing, be sensible, hand over the flag quickly!"

Manager Wan was so angry that his face turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "Go tell Xiong Xiong Baodong, this old man is an elder of the Craftsman Sect, please give me some face..."

"You old thing, still want face?"

The leading man let out a strange laugh, full of sarcasm: "Don't be shameless. We still have to go drinking after we're done. If you talk nonsense again, I'll make you lose face tonight!"

"Old thing" here, "old scoundrel" there. Even a clay figurine has three points of anger, not to mention Manager Wan who is a person from the martial world. His eyes immediately turned gloomy: "Looking for a beating!"

Two of his disciples immediately stepped forward, grabbed those people, slapped them several times, and then overturned them to the ground, punching and kicking.

These rascals of the Fire Bear Gang could only bully the people and the poor martial artists on weekdays. When they met real martial artists, they were simply no match.

Of course, Manager Wan didn't want to make too much trouble, so these gang members were just beaten unconscious.

"Yo!"

Xiong Xiong Baodong was overbearing by nature, and seeing this, he laughed instead of getting angry, waved his hand, and the team stopped, surrounding Li Yan and the others.

"They're fighting, they're fighting!"

Although Zhu Que Avenue is not small, such a big movement had long attracted the attention of many people, immediately attracting a large number of people to watch.

"What are you doing!"

On Zhu Que Avenue, there were also people from the Metropolitan Commandery patrolling. They immediately rode their horses over, shouted, and blocked between the two teams.

The conflict that was about to break out was stopped.

But Li Yan saw it and secretly thought it was bad.

The leader of the Metropolitan Commandery black cavalry,

was exactly the Company Commander Feng Han who broke into his house that day!
