Chapter 1052: Snake Demon: They say the demon is stupid, but I am very smart!
"receive!"
Lines of black mist flowed into the sea like mud, and all of them fell into the scrolls in Li Yan's hands. The blessed land of Lingyin Temple returned to its original appearance, except for a large number of ninja corpses lying on the ground.
When Tao Yin saw it, he stepped forward as if reflexively and began to cut off the head skillfully.
Chi Lian originally took the fang and licked it back and forth on his tongue. When he saw it, he was surprised and said: "Son, what are you doing?"
Tao Yin said: "One head costs two hundred taels of silver."
As soon as he finished speaking, I saw my mother appearing next to me in an instant, and she started cutting.
Li Yan ignored it and concentrated on checking the situation of the Hundred Ghosts at Night, then asked: "Xiaoqian, how do you feel?"
Xiaoqian floated around the picture scroll, feeling a little scared and pitiful: "These ghosts have been trapped for too long. Even ordinary ghosts have been forced to become powerful ghosts. Their resentment is too strong. How about I go in?"
Help with guidance?”
"It doesn't work now. I'll try another one or two after I have thoroughly refined that page of scripture."
Li Yan shook his head and said solemnly: "This is just the beginning, there is more than one volume of A Hundred Ghosts at Night..."
When he used the Tantan Merit Buddha to inspire the Nirvana text and restore the distorted text to its original appearance, there was a feeling of echo, and his spiritual consciousness passed through it in a distant place.
Those are pages of Buddhist scriptures that have been sacrificed and refined into different magic weapons to suppress ghosts.
Not only does it prove that there is more to destiny than just the one in front of you, it also explains a very scary problem.
In this world...
How many resentful ghosts are there?
"If there is a problem in the underworld, will there be no one in the upper world to save it?"
Li Yan put the "Hundred Ghosts at Night" in his sleeve, turned around and looked at the mother and son with heads over there, especially Chi Lian: "I just said that Buddhist cultivators have disappeared? Although Buddhist temples are weak in this dynasty, they are not directly affected.
Disappear?"
Chi Lian put his hands behind his back: "There are so many monks that Buddhist cultivators can hardly be seen. The big temples have closed their gates early, and the seals are as slow as this place. Anyone can come, but bald donkeys can't come anyway..."
Li Yan nodded slightly and asked: "What's the matter with Hangzhou being flooded?"
Tao Yin's expression suddenly changed, while Chi Lian sneered: "The people from the archipelago used their spiritual bodies to help me, helping my mother to flood Hangzhou and drown the army at sea. What else could happen?"
Li Yan looked at her: "The lower breath is strong but the middle is dry. It is obvious that she was injured recently and the injury is still very serious. If she wants to raise waves and flood Hangzhou, I am afraid she may not have the ability."
Tao Yin was startled, showing worry again, while Chi Lian's vertical pupils narrowed: "Good eyesight!"
Li Yandao: "When you announced in Nanjing that you would flood the Ming Dynasty's coast, you were probably targeted by the Japanese. In order to take advantage of you, they forged another Tao Yin... You were injured and needed to recover from the injury, so you took advantage of them in turn.
?”
This time it was Chi Lian who was stunned: "Yes, that's what I think!"
Li Yan basically confirmed the opponent's intelligence, and since his way of thinking didn't match, he didn't say much more. Before leaving, he said a few words: "You just dealt with some enemies, and you also have a merit. You hid ten people."
You've got enough, don't be too greedy."
Tao Yin looked at his mother: "Mother..."
Chi Lian's expression was as usual, and he took out a row of ninja heads from behind, and taught him with his experience of being a demon: "When dealing with people, don't believe their rhetoric, just see if there are any ready-made benefits. I didn't understand this before."
, I just suffered a big loss, now I understand..."
"Hey, does he still have pills?"
After leaving Lingyin Temple and returning to his small courtyard, Li Yan entered the alchemy room and took the elixir for Tao Yin. Chi Lian suddenly felt hot in his eyes and shouted: "That Taoist doctor, my son has helped you a lot."
Come on, give me a few to heal my injuries!"
Li Yan said to Tao Yin: "Go and heal your wounds. Don't worry, she won't be able to fight if she can't beat me."
"What did you say?"
Chi Lian widened his eyes, while Tao Yin turned around one step at a time.
Li Yan reached out and made a move, and a gourd flew over: "Here is the Spirit Recovery Pill, which can restore the injuries of any spirit body. But I have a question. Your Majesty said that your Five Jue Cave Red Scale clan has no connection with the human world.
Not much, and not killing any living beings?”
Chi Lian snorted: "Our Five Jue Cave is hidden outside Suzhou City.
In the Dragon Cave, if we say that we have nothing to do with human beings, that’s not the case. But if you ask about cannibalism, I’ll tell you the truth. Our ancestors have said for generations that people are very unpalatable and have no aura at all. We will eat whatever we want.
The Taoist priest who entered my cave for the sake of snake gall!"
Li Yan frowned, thinking that the attributes of mortals in this world were only 1 to 5, similar to the world of the Tang Dynasty. At the time, he thought it was unusually low. But after listening to what this snake demon said, he realized that it was a blessing in disguise.
.
In a world where demons are rampant, if a mortal's attributes are high but not high enough to compete with the demons, they may be devoured into a kingdom of lions and camels. Even if the central court has an expert to protect it, the villagers in the countryside cannot protect themselves.
Or they will be forced to gather in large cities.
The world today has not changed like that and is still in a normal state, which means that although demons are causing chaos, they have not had a huge impact on most people's lives.
Just like many countries on the westward journey, there are monsters causing trouble, but on the whole they can still survive. If you encounter the kind of monsters who abide by the law, you will spend money on purchases.
It’s just that it’s hard to compare with Cathay and Ping An’s Datang...
Seeing Li Yan pondering, Chi Lian also took a rare moment to think about why a Taoist doctor who had kidnapped his son actually asked his son to defend him. After much deliberation, in addition to his son being deceived, he also found another answer: "You
Do you want Tao Zhongwen to die?"
Li Yan looked over again.
Chi Lian was full of confidence and proposed a deal: "You human practitioners, if you have some skills, you all want to be a heavenly master... I know Tao Zhongwen's many scandals, so I'll give you the elixir in exchange!"
The reason was wrong, but the result was correct. Li Yan was indeed prepared to occupy a certain position in the secular world during the process of cultivation. In addition, his impression of Tao Zhongwen in history was not very good, so he would have been prepared.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, he did not give the elixir: "I really don't like this Shenxiao Master. If this person only acts for demons, he is not worthy of being
It belongs to the Heavenly Master, but Tao Zhongwen’s dealings with me are family affairs, and I will never interfere in these matters.”
Chi Lian frowned: "You are such troublesome people. You kill when you want to, but you always have to find some excuse! Don't worry, what I want to tell you is not those things. Tao Zhongwen likes divination and claims to be able to divine secrets with his fingers. In your case,
Did you know that he always told fortunes in front of the emperor, and even predicted a palace fire?"
Li Yan nodded: "I know."
Chi Lian sneered: "Bullshit Tianji, I personally set the fire for him that night and burned down Jiajing's palace."
After saying that, he looked over with bright eyes, expecting the other person's shocked expression.
Li Yan nodded calmly: "If this is true, it is the behavior of a demon."
Not to mention this world, even in real history, many people suspected that Tao Zhongwen predicted a fire in the Jiajing Palace and set the fire secretly.
This is not a complete conjecture. In order to gain fame, some Taoist priests artificially created efficacious hexagrams, which have been recorded. They dared to deceive the emperor. It sounds bold, but it is also just starving the timid to death and suffocating the bold.
.
Since ancient times, there have been countless alchemists who have dedicated themselves to deceiving the emperor. After all, the rate of return is too high. In the face of huge temptation, some people will always take risks, and there is no shortage of Tao Zhongwen.
Chi Lian saw that setting fire to the emperor did not shock him, and he suddenly became anxious: "What about the prince? The prince died of illness, do you know what happened?"
Li Yan's expression finally changed slightly: "Did he do anything to the prince?"
The most effective prophecy of Tao Zhongwen is actually "two dragons never meet". The prince was fine when he didn't see Jiajing, but he really died of illness after seeing Jiajing.
However, later generations also analyzed that it was Tao Zhongwen who noticed that the prince was in poor health and deliberately created this sense of tension. When the prince was crowned, it was already a major event in life. In addition, after not seeing his father for a long time, he would collapse after being nervous. The result was really
He died of illness.
To put it bluntly, it is a kind of gambling with words. If you win the bet, you will rise to the top, but if you don't win, unless the prince is free from illness and disaster all his life, there will always be a fight. The alchemist's words are the same as those of the liar. They are ambiguous and blocked at both ends. Only a little can be tolerated.
When you get to the edge, lean up.
What Li Yan found strange was, "Every Taoist sect should have the ability to calculate and predict the secrets of heaven. According to your words, Tao Zhongwen relied entirely on deception. How could he have been in a high position for so many years?"
Chi Lian crossed his arms: "You ask me this?"
Li Yandao: "Then why didn't you say anything about these things before?"
Chi Lian said: "In the past, he used my son to contain him, but now that my son has escaped the control of the divine ban, he has no worries anymore!"
Li Yan nodded slightly, poured five pills and handed them over.
Chi Lian hurriedly took it, sniffed the pill energy, and then curled his lips and said, "Stingy!"
"What I just said is worth it. If I really want to use you, I will certainly not hesitate to pay you..."
Li Yan's eyes fell on the dagger in her hand, but he did not forget his original intention: "If you are willing to use this treasure to let me study it, I can also get the reward of the elixir."
Chi Lian retracted his fangs and said with great vigilance: "You want our clan's most precious treasure?"
Li Yan flipped his palm, and a picture of a hundred ghosts walking at night appeared: "If you are worried, how about using this thing as collateral? In terms of value, it is not inferior to this poisonous fang."
Chi Lian stared: "This is a relic of the great demon that our clan has enshrined for generations..."
Li Yan waited for the second half of the sentence.
As expected, Chi Lian looked at the elixir room, licked his lips, and took the opportunity to make an excessive request: "Add one more gourd elixir... no, three gourd elixirs!"
…
Less than half an hour later.
Tao Yin, who was recovering from his injuries in the house next to the alchemy room, felt a little uneasy after all. He pricked up his ears and listened secretly. He found that no conflict broke out, and he calmed down a little.
He knew that his mother actually had a bad temper, but the demon clan respected the strong, the one who was so unfathomable that he would plunder even the treasures of sycophants at will. Under such intimidation, they should be able to live in peace.
It’s just that I don’t know whether my mother’s injury is serious or who injured her. She must take revenge!
Just as he was thinking to himself, a familiar breath came, and Tao Yin's face lit up. He saw the door crack open, and my mother twisted her waist and slid in, with a proud expression on her face: "My son, my son, I'm here."
What a bargain!”
Arriving in front of his son, Chi Lian couldn't wait to take out the three-gourd elixir: "Look at me, Duoming, I've only been here for so long and I've reaped so many benefits! My son, you have to learn more from me!"
Tao Yin was startled. He was embarrassed to say that the cost of this gourd elixir was only worth a Japanese beetle, but he was also very surprised: "You gave me so much?"
That person is not stingy, but he never gives pills at will. So far, only Hu Zongxian has obtained the pills. He only increased the supply after the anti-Japanese war was effective. His mother had shown signs of conflict before. Why?
Suddenly so generous?
Tao Yin secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "What did mother just say to Li Daoyi?"
Chi Lian smiled and said: "He just wants to be a heavenly master and wants to deal with Tao Zhongwen. Your mother and I told him a lot of secrets, which frightened him into a daze. He wanted to study the fangs again. I had an idea and took the opportunity to knock
Made a fortune..."
Tao Yin said with a trembling voice: "Did mother replace the great demon's relics?"
Chi Lian took out the Night Journey of One Hundred Ghosts as a matter of course: "Change it! The new magic weapon he got is too much for me. I will try to see if I can sacrifice it later. It is such a cost-effective thing, why not change it?"
Tao Yin closed his eyes.
Done!
The Red-Scale Snake Tribe has no backers, and now its only magic weapon has been deceived...
