Chapter 280

Hearing what he said, Li Yan also raised his vigilance.

He had seen many Yangtze alligators on the road in Ezhou, small ones like dogs, and big ones a bit dull.

"Tuogu" sound shakes several miles,

Could it be that it has become a monster?

Such a strange movement, everyone in the temple had been awakened.

Li Yan turned his head to look at Lu San, "Brother Lu, can you tell what it is calling?"

Lu San nodded, pinched the magic seal, listened carefully, his eyes gradually became shocked, and muttered: "Long Jia Xi Di Fu, Liao Ao You Xi Zhou Zhang, Ling Huang Huang Xi Ji Jiang, Fan Yuan Ju Xi Yun Zhong..."

Tian Wei on the side widened his eyes, "Chu Ci Lord Yunzhong?"

He had opened his eyes today, comparable to strange novels.

This young man who had been silent all the way, seemingly ordinary, could actually understand bird and beast language.

Also, can the Tuo dragon also chant Chu Ci?

After coming back to his senses, he suddenly thought of a possibility, his eyes became excited, and he said tremblingly: "Chu Ci is a sacrificial word, Tuo sacrifices to Lord Yunzhong, could it be that Lord Yunzhong's 'Shou Palace' is nearby?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Squire Tian on the side scolded in a deep voice, "I was born and raised here, and I have never heard of any treasure, it looks more like a monster bewitching people..."

Tian Wei was unconvinced in his heart and instinctively wanted to refute, but before he could speak, he frowned.

Only to see Lu San listening to the "Tuo Dragon" sound, his eyes gradually became blurred, and then his body stood up unnaturally and began to dance.

"He is possessed..."

Tian Wei was about to exclaim, but was covered by Li Yan, his face serious, signaling everyone to be quiet.

And Lu San on the side, his movements became faster and faster, turning over, spinning on the ground, shuttling, and appearing with various hand seals.

Li Yan frowned, turned his head to look at Wang Fu, and said in a low voice: "Daoist, is it..."

Wang Fu also looked serious, nodded and said: "It is the Duan Gong dance."

Duan Gong dance, originating from the ancient Chu palace dance, is itself an ancient Chu witchcraft sacrificial dance, divided into upper altar and lower altar.

The upper altar sacrifices to the dead and transcends the souls of the dead, with serious and solemn movements. The lower altar drives away ghosts and avoids evil, prays for auspiciousness and blessings, with light and free movements.

And what Lu San danced was even more mysterious.

The reason why Li Yan didn't interrupt was because Lu San was not invaded by the Qi and Sha energy, but instinctively fell into a certain state and began to dance.

He had heard of this kind of thing, it is a kind of divine descent.

Some witches and godmothers would suddenly have this situation, and after waking up, they would understand many sacrificial rituals and magic techniques.

Although strange, many Dharma lineages of the Mystic Sect are like this. Like when he saw the Lengtan wandering master, others couldn't perceive it at all.

Wang Fu thought thoughtfully: "It seems that Brother Lu San's opportunity has arrived..."

Seeing that Lu San was close to the temple door, Li Yan suddenly understood, stepped forward quickly, and opened the temple door.

Only to see outside at some point, the sky had cleared, a huge bright moon hung high in the night sky, surrounded by black clouds like gauze.

The night wind was still whistling, and the bonfire in the temple swayed.

Lu San was still dancing, seemingly completely losing consciousness, with a light jump, he left the temple door.

The rhythm on his body was even more strange and solemn.

At the same time, a strange Gang Qi spread out.

Even more surprising things happened to everyone.

Lu San's pets, which were originally trembling, were now like losing consciousness, following him into the courtyard.

Mouse One and Mouse Two stood up with their claws raised and spun in place.

The little white fox jumped up and down, its big tail swaying agilely.

Even Lu San's falcon was flying strangely above his head.

Only the demon gourd swayed left and right, unable to move.

And Lu San walked while jumping, moving forward unconsciously. Looking at the direction, it was exactly where the "Tuogu" sound came from.

Li Yan's face became serious, he quickly ran back to the temple, whispered: "I'll go protect Brother Lu, don't run around."

After saying that, he picked up the wildly shaking demon gourd and followed behind Lu San out of the temple door.

Not long after, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone in the temple looked at each other, feeling strange and bizarre.

Wang Fu got up and said: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, Brother Yan has a way to deal with it. I will set up a magic method, let's keep watch carefully and wait."

After saying that, he took out a few yellow talismans from his arms, came outside the temple, and pasted them on the tree trunks opposite, then turned back and said: "Brother Sha, Thousand-Household Officer Liu, you have the highest martial arts, please be alert."

"That is natural."

Sha Lifei and Squire Tian's son-in-law nodded hurriedly.

Only Tian Wei scratched his head, itching to follow, but also a bit afraid.

Strangely, after Li Yan and Lu San left, the night wind seemed to be much smaller, and the bonfire in the broken temple became stable.

In the dark mountains, it was exceptionally eye-catching...

On the other side, Li Yan followed Lu San closely.

Only to see Lu San's witch sacrificial dance becoming more and more agile, his steps alternating, landing on the ground and jumping up, seemingly using Dark Jin, and his speed becoming faster and faster.

Li Yan was a bit surprised.

Lu San practices imitation fist, imitating the attacks of various animals. Although he has entered Dark Jin, he has not yet reached the peak.

This kind of continuous eruption, he couldn't do it on weekdays.

And now, it is as if he is supported by some kind of power, and there is no half-point smoke and fire in his gestures.

This speed increased, Li Yan and the little fox could still keep up, but Mouse One and Mouse Two were left behind, starting to squeak and become anxious.

Li Yan had no choice but to hold Mouse One and Mouse Two in his arms.

They kept moving forward, not walking on the official road at all, but ignoring the cover of bamboo forests and vegetation, shuttling through them.

Li Yan was naturally fine, opening his supernatural powers, unaffected by the night.

And Lu San was also completely unimpeded, walking on flat ground.

Unknowingly, they had run very far.

On a high mountain ridge in the distance, under a towering tree, sat three martial monks, who were the ones sent by Chengjue to keep watch.

One of the martial monks pinched the hand seal, his pupils faintly showing essence.

His right hand was clenched into a fist, with his thumb pressed against the outside of his index finger, and his left hand stretched out, with five fingers together.

This is the "Wisdom Fist Seal", representing wisdom and power.

And at the foot of the mountain in the distance, a little firelight flickered in the darkness, which was exactly the broken temple where Wang Fu and the others were.

"Senior Brother, something is wrong."

The monk who performed the eye supernatural power investigation said in a deep voice: "This 'Tuogu' is so intense, I am afraid it is made by a monster, and that Li Yan and another person have been bewitched and left."

The leading martial monk was tall and sturdy, his muscles knotted, and upon hearing this, he picked up the convenience shovel and asked: "What about Squire Tian's family?"

"Didn't come out."

"I am afraid that demon people are about to take action, let's get closer. Protect Squire Tian's family first, they are the focus."

After saying that, the three of them jumped out.

They came from the Zen sect, all practicing martial arts, their feet were full of Dark Jin, their speed was fast, shuttling through the forest, and in a while, they came not far from the broken temple.

"The people inside are fine."

The broken temple door was not closed, and the monk who performed the eye supernatural power reported immediately.

"Wait first."

The three monks were afraid of startling the demon people, so they had to wait outside.

At the same time, Li Yan also gradually found something wrong.

The mist around became heavier and heavier, even the moonlight was covered, and it was pitch black.

This situation is as if the clouds and mist just now had all fallen.

Could it be that Lord Yunzhong is really about to appear?

Li Yan also became suspicious, and his curiosity grew stronger.

And at the same time, the Tuogu sound became louder and louder, like a giant dragon roaring in a low voice, and like thunder.

Li Yan no longer knows the direction now, just following Lu San closely.

Clatter!

He heard the sound of water coming from not far away.

It was the two of them who unknowingly arrived at the shore of the big lake.

The water in the lake surged, and it seemed that some huge thing was playing in the water.

And Lu San stopped at this time.

His consciousness had long been lost, and he kept dancing on the shore, seemingly performing a sacrificial ritual.

Whether it was Mouse One and Mouse Two, or the little fox and the falcon, they were no longer following the dance, but kowtowing toward the lake.

The sound of surging water waves got closer and closer.

Li Yan's whole body exploded, and he couldn't help but buckle the hook.

He could smell a huge thing coming ashore.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Heavy footsteps sounded, and it was a Tuo dragon, its size was amazing, like a train head. Stepping on the ground, it trembled slightly.

The loud "Tuogu" sound came from its mouth. After getting close, it shook Li Yan's head buzzing.

Fortunately, this giant Tuo did not approach them, but crawled down on the shore a hundred meters away, seemingly kowtowing, roaring constantly in its mouth.

What surprised Li Yan even more was that this giant Tuo was actually wearing a set of armor, which was made of bronze, with copper green spots, and the age was very ancient.

And in the neck area of the armor, there was half a broken bronze chain, at least as thick as a person's thigh.

Armor made for a "Giant Tuo"?

Everything in front of him had exceeded Li Yan's imagination.

The Tuogu sound continued, and Lu San's dance became more intense.

A thought suddenly popped into Li Yan's mind:

According to Lu San, the Tuo roar was chanting Chu Ci Lord Yunzhong, could this be raised by the ancient Chu ancestors for sacrificing to Lord Yunzhong?

Before he could think more, a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

On the lake in the distance, the clouds and mist surged wildly.

!.

Rumble!

Thunder followed, and electric light exploded.

And Li Yan only felt numb all over, and his hair suddenly stood up.

He had heard of this situation.

If someone is about to be struck by lightning, this situation will occur.

Damn!

Li Yan scolded secretly and jumped out.

Boom!

The dazzling light exploded instantly, making Li Yan close his eyes involuntarily, his brain roaring, and his head buzzing.

Rolling up from the ground, Li Yan was full of shock.

Only to see that the area where he was originally had a huge pit, earth and stone splashed, and some rotten wood on the shore was directly split and ignited.

This was the first time Li Yan was so close to thunder.

Looking at the opposite side, whether it was Lu San, the giant Tuo, or the little fox and Mouse One and Mouse Two kneeling on the ground, and even the demon gourd, they were all fine.

The thunder seemed to avoid them and only stared at Li Yan alone.

A trace of realization rose in Li Yan's heart.

It is rumored that Lord Yunzhong also controls thunder and is capricious.

This is an ancient sacrifice to Lord Yunzhong.

Tuo drums chant blessings, witch dance as companions.

And he is not in this line.

Just at this moment, Li Yan's hair stood up again.

He scolded secretly, continued to dodge, and stayed away from the lake.

Boom!

Another explosion of thunder, fortunately Li Yan had dodged in advance.

After getting up, his face was ugly.

Looking at Lu San who was dancing in a trance in the distance, he gritted his teeth and retreated quickly, staying away from the river bank.

He is not welcome here.

If he continues to stay and interrupt the sacrifice, if he accidentally lets Lu San be implicated, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain.

Sure enough, after he left the lakeside, the thunder stopped bombarding.

But the thunder did not stop.

Above the lake, the clouds and mist surged wildly.

Between the flashes of thunder, Li Yan saw in surprise that the clouds and mist actually formed a vortex, with shadows inside.

The shadows of the clouds and mist seemed to form the phantom of a palace.

Could this be Lord Yunzhong's Divine Palace Shou Palace?

But that phantom was not a physical entity, but changed and twisted with the thunder and gale.

Everything in front of him made Li Yan feel like falling into a dream.

But soon, he came back to his senses, a thought popped up in his heart, and he immediately stood in a horse stance, his hand seals changing.

He formed the thunder seal with his right hand and held the Six Jia seal with his left hand, taking a deep breath.

This is the method of eating thunder Qi, used to practice the Heavenly Thunder Demon-Subduing Hammer.

Before, he waited hard for "Duan Yang Thunder", but that thing cannot be separated from the right time and place, and thunder moves in the nine heavens, thousands of miles in an instant, and eating thunder Qi may not be successful.

Regardless of whether this is a sacrifice to Lord Yunzhong.

The opportunity in front of him is once in a thousand years!

Sure enough, as Li Yan inhaled, he felt a burst of explosive scorching Gang Qi coming, and the hair on his body stood up again.

Li Yan was not surprised but happy, gently knocked his teeth, took three breaths of thunder Qi in succession, and then pinched the seal with his left hand and slowly clenched his right fist.

With his clenching of his fist, the fist suddenly crackled, electric light flashed, and it carried a fierce and explosive Gang Qi.

Li Yan gritted his teeth and smashed it toward the ground.

Boom!

An explosion sounded, and a pit appeared on the ground.

But immediately, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell.

No wonder Yulongzi said that this method is difficult to practice, even if practicing in Wudang Mountain's "Thunder Fire Refining Hall", it is extremely easy to go into devilry.

Yin thunder hurts the soul, and Yang thunder destroys everything.

Just one practice, the divine soul was already damaged.

The difficulty of wanting to practice successfully can be imagined.

Li Yan naturally does not have Yulongzi's amazing talent, but he has the Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen to assist.

The Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen operated, and all damage was repaired immediately.

Li Yan didn't say a word and ate thunder Qi again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As fists smashed down, the surroundings became pitted.

And Li Yan also gradually became familiar with this method.

After practicing more than thirty times, he no longer needed to eat thunder Qi, just pinching the seal and clenching his fist, the thunder hammer could take shape.

Subsequently, Li Yan's method changed again.

He began to add the North Bei Bei Di Yin Lei Palm.

This time, he discovered the wonderful point.

After the Yin thunder, the damage of the Yang thunder almost disappeared. The "North Bei Bei Di Yin Lei Palm" and the "Heavenly Thunder Demon-Subduing Hammer" alternated and changed, and electric light flashed on his body constantly.

Looking from afar, it was like the arrival of the Thunder God.

Unknowingly, Li Yan also entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

And on the lakeside in the distance, the clouds and mist continued to expand, covering the giant Tuo, Lu San, and those animals.

I don't know how long it took, Li Yan slowly recovered his sobriety.

Looking at the distance, the sky was slightly bright, and the clouds and mist had dissipated.

He only felt sore muscles all over, and his head was buzzing.

And the Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen in his body was also broken, and could crack at any time.

To avoid extinguishing the soul fire, Li Yan did not dare to use the Great Luo Dala Dala Fa Shen to repair it, endured the soreness all over his body, and stumbled toward the lakeside.

Those small animals were all unconscious.

Lu San was the same, his fists clenched tightly, his teeth clenched, his eyelids trembling violently, and he was covered in cold sweat.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu!"

In Li Yan's call, Lu San slowly woke up, his eyes full of confusion, shock and incomprehension, looking at the surroundings, "Why am I here?"

Li Yan was a bit suspicious, and immediately told the story, asking in a deep voice: "You don't know anything?"

Lu San shook his head: "I only remember hearing the Tuo drum in the temple, and then I had a dream. In the dream, an old woman kept waving at me..."

"I followed her, passed through the mist, and came to a palace. The old woman asked me to take something, saying there would be a great reward later..."

"In the palace, I vaguely heard human voices, and then according to the old woman's words, I grabbed the jade token on the table..."

Speaking of this, he was stunned, and slowly opened his right hand.

Only to see a five-colored jade token in his hand. The age is ancient, and it seems to have just been dug out of a grave, still carrying soil...

Just at this moment, Li Yan suddenly felt creepy.

He looked at the lake surface suddenly, only to see a huge head slowly emerging on the lake surface, exactly that giant Tuo.

The giant Tuo wagged its tail, swam to the shore, and looked at them calmly, its eyes bright and vicissitudes, just like an old man.

Li Yan raised his vigilance.

This is a terrible monster, he couldn't smell any smell on the other party, only felt the threat.

Lu San had a heart-to-heart connection, hurriedly climbed up, threw the jade token in his hand without hesitation, and said: "Where is my thing?"

The giant Tuo did not answer, but swallowed the jade token in one bite, spat out something from its mouth, and then turned and swam into the lake.

In an instant, clouds and mist rose, and the giant Tuo disappeared.

Lu San and Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward to check.

On the ground, there was a large bundle of bamboo slips...
