Chapter 403

"Ah, this... should we go see?"

Hearing that there was danger, Sha Sha Li Fei also became hesitant.

There is no other reason; this Inside Shennongjia is really not simple.

Mountain gods, spirits, Jing people... the experiences of these two days even made Sha Sha Li Fei doubt whether he was in a dream.

After all, these things are very rare.

Last night's great battle consumed a huge amount of gunpowder and projectiles, and only a little was left. Moreover, more dangerous enemies had not yet appeared, which naturally made him feel terrified.

But the mountain god hiding the key must have some trickery.

Maybe it's some immortal legacy!

Thinking of this, Sha Sha Li Fei became impatient again.

"No rush."

Li Yan looked at the sky and signaled, "If we are going, it's not now. The battle above is fierce, so we must wait for a result."

"What the heck?"

Sha Sha Li Fei hurriedly looked up, but only saw the sky covered with dark clouds, as if there was thunder roaring, but it was thundering without rain.

Seeing this, Wang Wang Daoxuan hurriedly explained the situation.

After Sha Sha Li Fei heard it, he immediately complained, "I thought that passing on the information would be the end of it. It turns out that after working for a long time, it was all in vain."

"This imperial court is also too incompetent. Just bring a few hundred cannons and blow them to hell, wouldn't that be the end of it?"

"How can it be that simple."

Wang Wang Daoxuan shook his head. "The Lord Tian Sheng Sect is already at the end of its rope and cannot turn over. The key is that trapped flood dragon."

"A flood dragon is like a drought demon; it is very troublesome to deal with. It is born from the energy of the earth's veins. Not only must one set up a Dharma altar to break its physical body, but one must also use a treasure vase to suppress it. The Dragon-Locking Wells everywhere were set up for this reason."

"And this one has some roots; it was transformed from the residual energy of the ancient Jiang Shen Da Jun, so we must be even more cautious."

"If one is not careful, the people downstream will suffer."

Li Yan, who was on the side, heard this and suddenly felt a stir in his heart.

That night, the Dragon Lady entrusted him with a dream. He guessed afterwards that the Dragon Lady should have established a trace of connection with him through the Dragon-Patterned Jade Tablet.

The trapped flood dragon is named Black Scale Young Master. Since it was transformed by absorbing a wisp of dragon energy from Jiang Shen Da Jun, it is of the same origin as the Dragon Lady.

I wonder if the other party has a countermeasure...

Saying is doing. Li Yan gave some instructions to the others, then came to a quiet place, took out the Dragon-Patterned Jade Tablet, and sat cross-legged.

Li Yan pinched the Wu Yuqing Seal with his left hand, and electric light crackled at his fingertips, turning into a thunder talisman. At the same time, holding the Dragon-Patterned Jade Tablet, he chanted: "Sima Qian Yu Pi Du, Zhen Shi Luo Ling. Eight Immortals hold the axe, the Emperor's royal spirit... I wear the thunder seal, commanding ten thousand spirits, quickly as the law commands!"

This is the Northern Emperor's Divine Control Method.

Originally, it required setting up a Dharma altar, and the gods summoned would depend entirely on luck, but with the Dragon Lady's jade tablet, he should be able to communicate directly.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, he entered that wonderful state, half-dreaming and half-awake, and everything around him became somewhat unreal.

Splash...

The water flowed in again, submerging his feet, and at the same time, a pair of jade arms hugged him from behind, and hair brushed against his neck.

This time, Li Yan did not lose control.

But he also did not dare to look back.

On the side of Lake Liangzi Lake, there are also legends of the Dragon Lady. Excluding the fairy tales on the surface, there are also some taboo stories.

For example, one cannot see the Dragon Lady's face, otherwise one must marry her as a wife. It seems like a good thing, but some say one will be hooked into the lake to accompany the Dragon Lady all year round.

The Dragon Lady always appears from behind, which makes him suspect that this taboo might really have some meaning.

To avoid accidents, it is better to act cautiously.

"Is there any way to deal with Black Scale Young Master..."

It is difficult to speak in a dream, so Li Yan could only chant silently in his heart.

Fortunately, there was a reaction soon.

Light and shadow flickered before his eyes again, just like when the mountain god "Zou Yu" performed secret techniques before, taking his line of sight and moving forward rapidly.

Soon, he arrived at a high mountain in the northwest, covered in clouds and mist, with strange rocks, and entered the mountain through the top. A cave appeared before his eyes, but it was blocked by a bronze door.

There were eight strange keyholes on it, which matched the keys he obtained from the belly of "Bai Gong."

The bronze door seemed to have a force that blocked his sight.

Soon, Li Yan woke up suddenly.

He looked to the northwest.

That is exactly where Shennong Peak is located!

It's that place again...

Could it be that the danger he felt yesterday was related to it?

Doubts also arose in Li Yan's heart.

"Roar——!"

Just at this moment, a long roar sounded.

Li Yan and the others heard it and hurriedly climbed down the cave along the rope.

Sure enough, the mountain god "Zou Yu" had finally completely recovered from its injuries, roaring at the sky, its black and white fur shaking, showing extraordinary power.

The surrounding "Jing people" were all jumping and jumping with joy.

Seeing them arrive, "Zou Yu"'s eyes became gentle, it bowed slightly, and shook its big head.

Sha Sha Li Fei said happily, "Mountain God, you have slept comfortably. We almost lost our lives. Do you still have that medicinal herb..."

"Don't talk about this first."

Li Yan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Senior, there is one thing I still need your help with."

After a stick of incense, everyone climbed out of the cave again.

"Zou Yu" also jumped out of the cave.

It looked up and seemed to see the strange phenomenon of the battle in the sky, and let out a long roar at the sky.

"Roar——!"

The fierce roar immediately shook the mountains and rivers.

Before long, countless animals surged from all directions in the dense forest below, not only tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves, but also some donkey-headed wolves and three coffin beasts.

Even Divine Kui, Shandu, and wild men appeared in the distance, all lying on the ground, respectfully looking at "Zou Yu."

Li Yan immediately understood. With the death of "Bai Gong," "Zou Yu" naturally became the only remaining mountain god in Inside Shennongjia.

Subsequently, the three coffin beasts ran up the mountain with a rumble.

A trace of joy appeared on Lu San's face, and he smiled, "Let's go, Mountain God is personally taking us to Shennong Peak."

After saying that, he hugged the little fox and jumped onto the back of a coffin beast.

The coffin beast was huge, with a slightly raised back, very wide, and not easy to ride, so Lu San threw the reins and tied them to its horns.

Others followed suit. Sha Sha Li Fei and Lu San were together, Li Yan and Wang Wang Daoxuan shared one, and Wu Ba, who had the largest body, sat on one alone, full of excitement, grabbing the coffin beast's horns tightly.

"Roar!"

Another vast roar.

"Zou Yu" jumped high, and in two or three steps, it reached the foot of the mountain. Behind it, wild beasts galloped. For a time, the mountains shook and ten thousand birds were startled.

Countless wild beasts and mountain spirits and monsters gathered in one place and headed towards Shennong Peak in a mighty force.

The wind blew against their faces, and a smile appeared on Li Yan's face.

With this army of wild beasts led by the mountain god, even if they encounter any danger, they can handle it calmly.

Rumble!

Just at this moment, thunder roared in the sky again.

Wang Wang Daoxuan pinched the Dharma seal, looked up, and immediately frowned, saying in a deep voice, "No, something went wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Li Yan hurriedly asked.

Wang Wang Daoxuan wondered, "From what I see, the two sides were evenly matched before, but now the momentum on the side of the Zhenwu Palace has obviously dropped. Something must have gone wrong."

Li Yan heard this and looked to the southeast thoughtfully. "Don't worry about it. We can't help even if we go. Let's go to Shennong Peak and see first!"

"Roar!"

"Zou Yu" in front let out another long howl.

More ferocious beasts and mountain monsters joined, and the team became even larger...

…………

"Kill!"

In the mountains and forests, shouts of killing continued.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cannons roared, trees flew horizontally, and broken limbs splashed. The remaining members of the Lord Tian Sheng Sect almost mobilized their entire army to launch an attack on the imperial army's camp.

The demon army, which usually appeared and disappeared unpredictably, finally appeared.

Each of them had more or less a trace of wild beast characteristics, long hair, vertical pupils, sharp claws, and their eyes were full of cruelty.

The Lord Tian Sheng Sect's demon army had a total of one thousand people. Many died in the past few months, but five or six hundred remained.

They were fast and even equipped with muskets. The ordinary soldiers of the imperial court were no match for them at all.

Like a sharp knife, they directly broke through the outer defense line of the imperial army.

Following closely behind were the elites of the Lord Tian Sheng Sect.

They either lined up to shoot with guns or moved forward with shields.

And in the rear were countless crazy believers, wearing tattered clothes, holding rusty knives and broken swords, waiting for the charge at any time.

The news of the resurrection of "Lord Tian Sheng Gong" greatly boosted their morale.

!.

"Form a formation, fire in succession!"

The short and sturdy general roared with his sword drawn.

The army in front immediately formed a formation. In the front were three rows of musketeers, firing in turns, and in the rear were archers, drawing their bows together.

This time, the imperial court's pacification of the rebellion was not only to completely solve the problem of the Jingsi mountain people that had plagued them for thousands of years, but also to train troops by the way.

Since the pacification of the rebellion in the northern border and the suppression of the Mile Sect in Guanzhong, there had been no large-scale wars for many years. The current soldiers were almost all newcomers.

Secondly, with the development of firearms, new tactics also needed to be deduced and trained. The Jingsi riot was the whetstone.

According to the plan of the marshal who pacified the rebellion this time, he would sharpen the knives and then attack the Tusi City in one fell swoop.

This three-row musket method was researched in the past few months and was the most practical in large-scale wars.

On a hill not far away, a group of people was watching below.

The leader was the resurrected Xiao Xiao Tianxiong.

He looked at the battlefield below, his eyes full of blood, and said with interest, "Unexpectedly, I have been asleep for less than a hundred years, and the progress of firearms is so rapid."

"Reporting to the Sect Master."

The Right Chancellor hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "We have mastered the forging method of new firearms. As long as we enter the Miao territory, with the help of the local terrain and spiritual materials, we can mass-produce them, and then rely on the Ten Thousand Mountains to maneuver with the imperial court."

"Good!"

Xiao Xiao Tianxiong nodded with satisfaction. "Well done, but the top priority is to break the Mount Wudang ox-nose's sorcery."

"Move faster and break the imperial army formation."

"Follow the Dharma decree!"

The Right Chancellor nodded respectfully and took a horn out of his arms to blow.

The Left Chancellor on the side saw this, and a trace of mockery appeared in the corner of his eyes.

They had just returned, and this Right Chancellor was in such a hurry to show his loyalty, flattering repeatedly, obviously wanting to grab his position.

In the past, this would have been a situation of life and death.

But now, the Left Chancellor wished someone would share the attention.

Toot——!

The horn sounded long, and the Lord Tian Sheng Sect's team changed again.

I saw more than a dozen strong figures suddenly appear.

They were also demon soldiers who practiced the evil technique of demon body longevity, but they had swallowed demon bear hearts to cultivate. Each of them was huge, not much different from Wu Ba.

The difference was that these people were covered in black hair, with fangs in their mouths, and no longer looked like humans. They were also carrying giant muskets.

These muskets were smaller than cannons but several times larger than muskets. The muzzle was as thick as a bowl, more than a meter long, with a handle connected to the top, and they were carried forward by these giants with both hands.

Beside them, there were soldiers specifically responsible for lighting the fire.

Hiss!

Still out of the range of the imperial court's muskets, the giant muskets were lit.

Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions sounded, and broken pellets shot out like a rainstorm.

The imperial court's musketeers immediately had blood holes appearing on their bodies, falling to the ground without breathing, and the army formation was also hit with gaps.

On the mountain, the Right Chancellor said proudly, "Sect Master, this is the musket army of my Lord Tian Sheng Sect, nothing can stop it!"

"Not bad."

Xiao Xiao Tianxiong nodded and looked to the side. "Everyone, take action."

Lu Lin Fuzi and others of the Ghost Sect had already set up a Dharma altar. Hearing this, they immediately opened the altar and waved their Dharma swords and command flags.

It was already daytime, and they could not urge troops and horses, but after they performed the Dharma, a large amount of miasma immediately surged from the direction of Inside Shennongjia, gathering into fog and drifting towards the imperial army.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, let's go!"

Xiao Xiao Tianxiong let out a cold snort and suddenly jumped down.

Huang Liu waved his blood-colored robe and followed closely behind.

One was a former master, and the other was a zombie without bones. Both had the ability to take the head of a general in the midst of an army. They hid in the miasma and rushed towards the imperial camp.

On the Dharma altar of the camp, Master Yulongzi had disheveled hair, waving his long sword at the sky, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.

After a whole night of fighting, he was already exhausted.

He didn't know who was on the opposite side, but their cultivation was not inferior to his, and there was more than one person.

But Master Yulongzi knew that this moment was about holding one's breath.

Whoever retreats first will completely lose the battle.

"Five Dragon Sons, protect the altar!"

Feeling the threat, Master Yulongzi immediately roared.

The Lord Tian Sheng Sect's troops were less than ten thousand, and they were charging regardless of everything at this moment, obviously wanting to destroy his Dharma altar.

Once they fail and the flood dragon leaves in advance, they can only give way.

"Yes, Master!"

The Five Dragon Sons were guarding the Dharma altar and immediately jumped out when they heard this.

"Zhenwu Seven-Star Sword Formation!"

Feeling the danger, Gulinzi did not dare to be careless. With a whistle, the remaining Zhenwu Palace disciples immediately gathered.

Clang clang clang!

The Daoists drew their swords one after another and formed a sword formation.

They pinched the sword formula together, stepped on the Gang steps, stabbed up, swept down, and swung their swords left and right, their movements uniform.

It looked like they were practicing sword techniques, but everyone had Gang Sha Qi rising on their bodies, and it gathered on the Five Dragon Sons.

This is the advanced application of martial arts.

In the distance, the miasma surged, and the soldiers along the way scattered one after another. Those who couldn't dodge and inhaled the miasma immediately fell to the ground dizzy.

"Kill!"

A team of demon soldiers with blood-red eyes rushed into the camp.

Bang bang bang!

A roaring sound rang out, but it was the appearance of the Duli Si's divine fire musketeers, who blew the demon soldiers charging in the front into pieces.

Amidst the flying flesh and blood, two figures, one white and one red, flew over, their figures flickering, and the Duli Si people couldn't aim at all.

The visitors were Xiao Xiao Tianxiong and Huang Liu.

"Tiangang Bagua evolves the Heavenly Pivot!"

Gulinzi roared, and the Daoists swung their precious swords together, changing left and right, the sword light intertwined, blocking the two.

"Hahaha..."

Xiao Xiao Tianxiong laughed wantonly. "It's been so many years, how can Zhang Master Sanfeng's disciples only know this!"

Before the words fell, the Five Dragon Sons raised their swords at the same time, pinched the formula and slapped a palm, and a strong wind immediately blew around.

Xiao Xiao Tianxiong hurriedly retreated, his eyes narrowed.

"Five Elements Gang Sha, what... are you things?"

…………

Just when the Zhenwu Palace Dharma altar was being impacted, Li Yan and the others also arrived at Shennong Peak.

"Follow me!"

According to the hints given by the Dragon Lady, they found a hidden mountain cave nearby and entered the mountain after many twists and turns.

Shennong Peak is the highest peak of Mount Daba Mountain. Although the dragon veins are scattered and the innate Gang Sha cannot gather in a blessed land, it has Yin and Yang holes.

The place where Huang Liu and others resurrected Lord Tian Sheng Gong is on the shady side of Shennong Peak, a hole where Yin Sha Qi gathers.

And Li Yan led everyone into the Yang hole...
