Chapter 416: Fierce Evil Salt Pool

It's the "Yellow Baby"!

Li Yan saw it and knew what had happened.

They only cared about dealing with the "Guest in the Fog", but let this little thing find a gap to sneak into the mansion to harm people.

Looking at Zhang Sibei again, there was a small handprint on his wrist, pitch black, like a child, and like a monkey claw.

And around his head, there was a fishy stench, like the smell of medicine dregs that had been left for a long time and became moldy and rotten.

This is nightmare magic!

"Qingjia! Heaven saves people, strictly take Northern Feng. The god public obeys the order, sweep away all inauspiciousness..."

Li Yan pinched the magic formula again, performed the "Northern Emperor Evil-Removing Technique", and pointed at Zhang Sibei.

Thud!

Zhang Sibei fell to the ground, the fishy stench set off a Yin wind, and small child footprints appeared on the ground, fleeing towards the forest.

Clatter!

Li Yan waved his hand, the Soul-Hooking Rope roared out, directly binding this smell, and then twisted it violently.

"Ah~ ah~"

The child's screams rang in his ears instantly.

Li Yan's eyes were indifferent, without any pity.

The Mystic Sect values life, and with the virtue of heaven, some fierce means are not easily displayed.

When traveling for funerals, paper money is sprinkled to ask lonely ghosts to make way. When encountering spirit possession, it is often a good word of persuasion.

But taking a life changes the nature.

No matter what dissatisfaction this "Yellow Baby" has, it has harmed several lives, whether it is the orthodox sect or the magic lineage, it must be killed.

The Yin wind dissipated, and the smell disappeared.

Zhang Sibei fell to the ground, trembling all over, his face red, but sweating coldly, unable to even open his eyes.

"Sibei, Sibei!"

"Fast Boat Zhang" hurriedly stepped forward to help, his eyes full of anxiety.

His brother's soul was hooked, and it was likely that he couldn't be saved. And he had no children, although Zhang Sibei looked useless, he was the last bone and blood of the Zhang family, how could he not be anxious.

Wang Daoxuan took his pulse slightly and nodded, "It's okay, the evil spirit hurt the Yang energy, just rest for two months, and then I'll give you a prescription."

After saying that, he shook his Daoist robe and stood up, looking at the dead village, killing intent already hard to hide, "Extremely rampant, no matter what it is, it must be eliminated!"

"Good!"

Li Yan agreed without hesitation.

Wang Daoxuan has always had a peaceful temperament in the team, like an elder to everyone, and usually lives in peace.

This time he was clearly truly angry, so Li Yan naturally wouldn't object.

He still had a gang order, at worst he would consume it here.

Without any hesitation, everyone set off immediately, led by "Fast Boat Zhang", towards the southeast mountain forest.

The bright moon was high, and the firelight shuttled through the dense forest.

Perhaps because the monster Sheng had just ravaged, there were no fierce beasts or Yin ghosts along the way, and even insects and birds were extremely rare, without any obstruction.

Everyone traveled at night, and by the time it was almost dawn, they finally arrived at the place.

"It's right in front!"

"Fast Boat Zhang" pushed aside the grass, lowered his body, and pointed forward.

They saw mountain ranges undulating, gullies crisscrossing, vegetation dense, and looking out, it was all green.

And on the hillside on the opposite side, they could clearly see a mountain path, winding and winding around the mountain.

Further away, there were even collapsed ancient plank roads.

And in the valley at the fork of the mountain path, it was shrouded in thick fog, winding among the layers of mountain forests.

"So remote, why is there still a road?"

Seeing this, Sha Lifei was obviously a bit curious.

"Fast Boat Zhang" said in a low voice, "This is a secret path of the Salt Gang. Two years ago, I was entrusted by someone to follow them and send things from here."

"I heard from the Salt Gang that this was originally an ancient Ba State salt road. Later, Qin destroyed Ba and Shu, and it was abandoned, becoming a secret path for salt smugglers of all dynasties..."

Li Yan heard this and looked at Lu San.

Lu San shook his head and said in a low voice, "The things inside are very fierce, the birds and beasts nearby have all run away, and I can't hear any news."

After saying that, he reached out and waved.

The hawk on his shoulder soared into the sky, circling up and down in the air.

After a few months of recuperation, the hawk "Lidong" had recovered, and its spirituality was even better. After flying up, it circled up and down in the air.

After looking, Lu San shook his head again, "The gang evil energy is too heavy, I can't see clearly, I can only see that the place is not small."

Li Yan heard this and said in a deep voice, "It's already dawn, the Yang energy is flourishing, the Yin energy is falling, the power of that thing must be reduced, and the common people who were kidnapped should still be able to be saved."

"Daoist, what do you say we should do?"

Wang Daoxuan took out the straw man and said in a deep voice, "This thing is the magic body of the 'Guest in the Fog', and can directly perform curse techniques."

"I just broke through, after three bows, I can bow one more time. Even if I can't curse it to death, I can make it seriously injured."

"At that time, that thing will definitely come out to stop it. You can take the opportunity to enter it, destroy its roots, and then it can be re-sealed here!"

Li Yan pondered for a while and shook his head, "This is the other party's nest. I'm afraid you can't hold it alone, Daoist. San'er and Old Sha also stay, just Wu Ba and I go."

This arrangement has deep meaning.

Wang Daoxuan needs someone to protect the altar to perform curse techniques, but raiding the evil spirit's nest requires speed.

He and Wu Ba raiding is the most suitable.

Lu San didn't talk nonsense either, nodded and said, "Okay, but don't be in a hurry, I can set up the mountain prohibition technique and borrow the spirit of the mountains and rivers to block it."

After saying that, he let Wu Ba unload the luggage, took out several bone-ground pendants from inside, entered the surrounding mountain forest, hung them on large trees, and surrounded the mountain top.

As for Wang Daoxuan, he also took over Li Yan's Five Directions Luo Feng Flags, and then exhorted, "This monster Sheng should be black Sheng belonging to water. You can look for it in streams, wells, etc. God statues, altars, coffins... there must be something for it to attach to."

"After finding it, smash it with thunder method, and the other party will definitely be seriously injured..."

As they spoke, Lu San had already started the ritual.

He played the bone flute, danced a happy dance, primitive and wild, shaking his head and worshipping in four directions.

The flute sound was faint, drifting with the wind, the mountain wind rose, spreading in the dense forest, and those bone strings also swayed with a clatter.

This is the secret method of the mountain ghost.

Qu Yuan's Nine Songs is a ritual music adaptation, and unconsciously, it also leaked some ancient Chu shaman secrets.

"Riding a red leopard and following a civet, Xinyi car and tying cassia flags", vaguely hints at the abilities that mountain ghosts are good at.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" obtained by Lu San, besides concluding alliances with mountain gods, mainly involves controlling and cultivating spirit beasts, and even methods of controlling beast spirits.

These bones, either from the previous earth dragon, or from the powerful monsters they killed, can make the scattered mountain and river energy gather, having the shape of fierce beasts.

Unlike controlling soldiers, this counts as giving shape.

Just like some mountain gods and water gods, originally nothing, but with more people worshipping, they will gradually take shape.

And this method is used temporarily, and the price is that after the end, those strings carved from monster bones will become ordinary objects.

Whoosh~

The mountain wind swept by, and Li Yan could vaguely hear the roar of fierce beasts.

"Wu Ba, let's go!"

Li Yan gave a greeting and rushed out immediately, bypassing the steep mountain slope and climbing towards the Salt Gang secret path from the other side.

Wu Ba carried the board axe and followed closely.

He looked huge, but in this mountain forest, he was extremely agile, and his speed was only slightly worse than Li Yan's.

Wu Ba carried his broad axe, following closely behind.

"Fast Boat Zhang" saw this and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He originally wanted to open his mouth to accompany Li Yan, but looking at this appearance, he was afraid that he would only be a burden. And on the other side, Wang Daoxuan had already started the ritual.

He took out four arrows, bit his fingertip, and applied blood.

"Seven Arrows Secret Curse" naturally cannot be separated from arrows.

At that time in the deserted village of Fengyang County, Shanzhou, when suppressing the warlock who came to sneak attack, Wang Daoxuan could only use chopsticks instead.

And now that he is wealthy, he naturally uses good things.

Monster bone as the arrow shaft, spiritual copper as the arrow head, is the technique of the weapon-refining Daoist in Zixiao Palace on Mount Wudang.

Especially behind, there are a few copper coins hanging.

These copper coins are cast from purple copper, round with square holes, and engraved with "Yi Jie Mei Shou" and "Ru Yue Zhi Heng" on the front and back respectively.

"Yi Jie Mei Shou", originates from "Book of Songs, Bin Feng, July", "In the eighth month, peel the dates, in the tenth month, harvest the rice. For this spring wine, to mediate longevity."

"Ru Yue Zhi Heng", comes from "Book of Songs, Xiao Ya, Tian Bao", "Like the constancy of the moon, like the rising of the sun. Like the longevity of the southern mountain, not falling or collapsing."

Both sentences are wishes for longevity.

!.

This kind of flower money is called longevity money.

High officials and noble families often cast coins to celebrate birthdays. These coins are called longevity coins. For the royal family, they are called "Ten Thousand Longevity Money".

It was originally a blessing treasure coin, but these copper coins had thick patina, like dirty blood, emitting a cold and icy meaning.

Obviously, someone had used this thing to curse high officials and nobles to death.

These copper coins were also obtained from the East Lake Ancestor. Wang Daoxuan didn't know their origin, but they were most suitable for enhancing the curse method.

Afterwards, the Daoist drew blood talismans on his eyebrows, stepped on the steps, wrapped the cinnabar red rope on the straw man, and performed the "Tight Hoop".

The curse altar was formed, and cold Yin energy rose.

Wang Daoxuan's face turned iron-blue instantly, feeling like falling into the Netherworld, pinched the magic formula and chanted: "Heaven is dark and earth is dark, sun and moon have no light, invisible shadow black cover... Seven arrows on the top of the head, drill the heart on the day, obey the decree!"

After saying that, the blood arrow in his hand turned, inserted directly into the straw man, shook his Daoist robe, walked forward in four steps, and bowed violently to the straw man.

"Roar!"

In the mountain forest opposite, a shrill scream suddenly rang out, as if countless people were shouting at the same time, but because it was too sharp, it sounded like some kind of insect chirping.

This cry reached the soul.

Sha Lifei and "Fast Boat Zhang" were the first to be unable to bear it, only feeling their ears roaring, hurriedly baring their teeth and covering their ears.

Soon, a strong wind blew on the opposite mountain, the thick fog rolled, and it spread towards the mountain where Wang Daoxuan was.

Not only that, there was also a dense buzzing sound inside.

It seemed like countless insects were flying.

Under the valley, with the thick fog and insect swarm flying over, Li Yan and Wu Ba also poked their heads out from the grass.

Li Yan's face was extremely ugly.

Xie Chengzu's disciple once said that the symbol of the Salt Water Goddess is thick fog and insects, and he didn't expect it to be true.

Wang Daoxuan's side was obviously even more difficult.

But since it had come to this, there was no room for regret.

"Let's go quickly!"

Li Yan gave a low drink and rushed towards that mountain top.

His dark energy erupted under his feet, rushing up along the steep mountain slope, while Wu Ba climbed at high speed like a beast, following closely behind.

Li Yan let out a low shout and charged toward that hilltop.

With the "Guest in the Fog" leaving, the thick fog in the deep valley was obviously much thinner, but a cold fishy smell still spread.

They ran wildly, and soon encountered something strange.

They saw that at the mouth of the valley, under the trees, and in the grass, people were lying densely, exactly the common people of Jinyang Terrace.

Motionless, like corpses.

Swish!

Seemingly feeling the movement, they all stood up together.

Like Xie Chengzu last night, everyone was bending over with their heads down, emitting a salty fishy smell, as if soaked in salt brine.

In some places, white salt frost had even condensed on their bodies.

"Roar!"

These people had lost their minds, suddenly let out a roar, and like walking corpses, staggered and rushed towards them.

"Wu Ba, open the way!"

Li Yan didn't stop, and gave a low drink at the same time.

"Go to your mother!"

Wu Ba roared his catchphrase, his muscles bulging, his feet thumping on the ground, and he rushed over directly.

Bang bang bang!

Wherever he passed, the crazy common people were all knocked away.

A few were even knocked to the point of bone fractures.

Li Yan couldn't care less. If he took action, I'm afraid people would die, and if he didn't solve this matter, the rest would die.

The two of them rushed directly into the valley and were suddenly surprised.

They saw that before them was a large area of ancient relics, layer upon layer, and salt brine poured down from the top of the mountain.

This was the salt field where ancient people boiled salt, and the scale was quite large.

And what surprised Li Yan was that the relics were obviously older and the appearance was also very strange. Wherever the salt brine passed, a half-meter-thick salt shell had condensed.

This is probably not a Ba people relic!

Although the Ba people were called barbarians, they were not savages.

The "Huayang State Chronicle" records: "The distant world of the Ba State was a branch of the Yellow Emperor and the Flame Emperor; sealed in the Zhou Dynasty, it was a relative of the Ji clan."

The rulers of the Ba State were also relatives of the Zhou Emperor.

But the situation was urgent, Li Yan couldn't care about thinking too much, and immediately pinched the magic formula, exerted his supernatural powers to the limit, and took a deep breath.

The pungent cold fishy smell, carrying a dizzying salty taste, made him dizzy and almost fall.

Clatter!

Before he found the target, several strange corpses jumped out from the brine pool around him.

They could only vaguely see the human form, and they were wearing Sichuan-style clothes, but all over their bodies, they were condensed with thick salt frost, and their skin had become purple and tight, already turned into zombies.

In some places, earth rats call zombies old zongzi. These ones were completely old cured meat.

They moved stiffly, and as they walked, salt blocks fell all over their bodies, rushing towards the two.

Wu Ba let out an angry roar and swung his large board axe.

He had amazing divine power, and the board axe in his hand was also a tribal magic tool, with the power to break evil, directly cutting one of the old cured meat zombies into two halves.

And Li Yan didn't care, under Wu Ba's protection, pinched the magic formula, endured the discomfort, and searched in the valley...

…………

On the other side of the mountain top, the situation was also very critical.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Listening to the sound of the insect swarm in the thick fog, Lu San's face changed slightly, and he patted the monster gourd, and a swarm of poisonous bees also roared out.

His mountain ghost prohibition mainly defends against evil spirits. Facing this sky-filling insect swarm, he could only use the monster gourd to fight tit for tat.

The poisonous bee swarm in the monster gourd had been extremely fierce after being cultivated for these months, rushing into the thick fog and fighting crazily.

But the number was far from being comparable to the other party.

Just as the insect swarm was about to rush up, Wang Daoxuan inserted the second talisman arrow into the straw man.

Boom!

Screams rang out in the thick fog, and the insect swarm instantly collapsed.

But before everyone could be happy, the insect swarm gathered again, and in the thick fog, shadows appeared, appearing one after another strange figures.

Sha Lifei gasped.

"Why... why so many!"
