Chapter 652: Nuo Mask Moves
After returning to the room, Li Yan was still in a state of anxiety.

What Zhao Luzi accidentally revealed was truly too horrifying.

Xu Fu’s disciple must be from the “Jianmu” group.

Many things seem strange when we look back.

The old eunuch from Gushui Village got the treasure map from the capital.

Originally, the other party had decided to stay away from trouble and live a peaceful life as a rich man in the countryside.

But the news leaked, leading to his fatal disaster.

There is also a trap left by the previous dynasty Daxing, which is right near the Qin King’s Immortal Palace.

I’m afraid the destruction of the Qinling dragon vein is false.
The test of the Qin King’s Immortal Palace is true!
Could it be that Qin Shi Huang…had colluded with Jianmu?
But it doesn’t look like it. If the First Emperor really cared about the Nine Cauldrons, why would he secretly throw the Nine Cauldrons into the dragon vein in order to stabilize China?

Li Yan really couldn’t figure out the reason.

There is also the “Underworld Cult”. Although their purpose is to guard the Nine Cauldrons, Shen Sanyou risked his life to go to Japan, and the old senior Yin Jiuge was completely disabled in the Battle of Luoyang and retired from the world.

But after this incident, I still have to be more careful in the future.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Li Yan was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.

It was the old butler Chen Fu who invited them to have dinner.

Although it was called a light meal, the Chen family had also made careful preparations for it.

In the main hall of the Chen family, three elm wood octagonal tables are put together to form a long banquet.

The men from the Cao Gang carried over a few jars of “Jingyangchun”. The red silk on the lip of the coarse earthenware jars was opened, and the strong aroma of wine instantly filled the threshold.

Zhangqiu Town is close to Yuzhou, and even the way people speak has a Yuzhou accent. The banquet mixed the flavors of Shandong and Yuzhou.

All the dishes are prepared according to the old Canal rules of “four cold and eight hot”.

“My dear heroes, the food at Chen’s house may be rough, but it’s warm!”

Butler Chen Fu clapped his hands three times, and waiters wearing indigo headbands entered one after another.

A large bowl of braised Weishan Lake carp was placed across the center of the table, with a copper coin in its mouth and its tail fin facing the host, Li Yan.

Chen Fu took a silver knife and cut open the fish’s belly. The amber-colored roe piled up into a small hill:

“Three cups of fish head will lead to the avenue——!”

As he spoke, the old man had already raised the celadon bowl above his brows, “The master is not here, and he has ordered that you should be treated well. I will be thick-skinned and offer you a bowl.”

“You are so polite, old man.”

Li Yan and others quickly stood up and drank a cup together.

“Everyone is huge!”

The old official Chen Fu flattered him and started introducing the dishes.

He opened the steamer on the table, revealing large, round steamed buns wrapped in white mist and the aroma of wheat.

The strips of pork in the coarse earthenware bowl tremble with a date-red sauce, and the braised lamb is mixed with the fragrance of the canal reeds.

Just as Sharifei picked up a piece of mutton with skin, the old butler Chen Fu quickly poured him another cup.
“A lamb kneels down to drink its mother’s milk. This bowl of soup should be paired with lamb bone soup!”

After saying that, he asked someone to bring a black lacquered wooden plate.

But inside the green lotus leaves, there was agate-colored braised pheasant.

Even the cockscombs were dyed red with dogwood juice.

The old official tore off a chicken wing and presented it to Li Yan, “The phoenix is ​​flying on the Phoenix Terrace. This Liangshan game is the best match for our Cao Gang’s sword and horse wine!”

Li Yan laughed in silence, “Old man, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Others also felt a little uncomfortable.

They had traveled around the world and had seen a lot of the heroism of Guanzhong, the hospitality of Huguang, and the enthusiasm of Sichuan and Shu, but this was the first time they had experienced all of Luzhou’s things, and they even felt a little overwhelmed.

Of course, they could also see that the old official was truly dedicated.

“Oh, it’s my fault.”

The old official Chen Fu was also a smart man. He drank another cup and said, “My dear heroes, you have come from afar and must be tired. I will not bother you any more. If you have any instructions, please feel free to ask.”

He said so, but he clapped his hands when he left.

From the east side of the courtyard, the sound of stringed instruments suddenly came.

However, Chen San had already invited a tanci troupe from Linqing Wharf to sing “The Man Killing the Tiger on Jingyang Ridge”.

The voice is gentle and appropriate to the situation.

The most important thing is that a woman holding a pipa was singing next door, and the sound of stringed music could be heard.

It won’t disturb, yet it will have some charm.

“Tsk tsk…”

Sharifei couldn’t help but click his tongue and said, “I’ve heard that the Cao Gang is very wealthy. It seems that Chen San has made a lot of money. But why does he want to get involved in the muddy waters of the court instead of being a good local tyrant?”

“Everyone wants something in life.”

Li Yan drank a bowl of wine and shook his head, saying, “I always thought that the martial arts world was the martial arts world, but many things still come from the court or the market. Now that humanity is changing, even ordinary people, who can stay out of it…”

……

After the banquet, everyone dispersed.

After days of sailing, they were finally able to get a good night’s sleep in their beds.

Soon, the snoring sounds of Sharifei and Wuba were heard from the next room.

Li Yan awakened his magical power of hearing. Even without using it, his hearing was extremely sensitive. In addition, due to what happened during the day, his mind was a little unsettled and he had trouble falling asleep, so he simply got up and went to the desk.

After lighting the oil lamp, he took out two wooden boxes from his luggage.

When he opened one of them, he saw Wang Xuanmo’s five black flags inside.

It was the magic weapon that Wang Xuanmo used to restrain the heroic souls of Mangshan.

Li Yan saw that this thing was extraordinary, so he carefully put it away.

He didn’t know it, but Yin Jiuge, an old senior from the Underworld Sect, knew a lot about it.

This flag is the treasure of the Yin Fu Sect, and the person who refined it is the famous Zhang Jiao.

The flag is made of black cotton, linen and silk, with the Big Dipper thunder pattern embroidered with gold thread, and the Taiping Dao “Huang Tian Dang Li” cloud seal woven with silver thread. It is also pierced with the “Liu Jia Secret Blessing” Yin Fu of the “Taiping Jing” by a master. In that turbulent era, it was notorious and eventually fell into the hands of the Yin Fu Sect and became the treasure of the sect.

Later, it was destroyed in a battle with the Zhengyi Sect, so the Yinfu Sect used the dark cypress wood from the Han Tombs in Mangshan as poles to repair it.

Wang Xuanmo placed it in the depths of Mangshan to nurture it, restrained the gods of Mangshan, and allowed it to regain its divine power.

But at this point, it has become a completely murderous weapon.

It is called “Huang Tian Five Elements”, and naturally there are gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Wang Daoxuan and Yin Jiuge have both seen it. The gold flag contains the White Tiger Evil, the wood flag contains the Azure Dragon Plague, and the water flag contains the Black Tortoise Evil…

The innate evil energy of the five elements has all been gathered.

Ordinary people cannot control such a dangerous treasure.

Even Wang Xuanmo found it difficult to escape when he was controlling the magic flag and was killed by him.

If he wants to use this treasure, he can’t do it with his strength.

But for Li Yan, it is the most suitable.

He doesn’t need to manipulate this treasure at all, he just needs to use it as a container.

The “Five-Directions Luofeng Flag” is a Daluo magic weapon. No matter how ferocious this treasure is, after being injected with the spiritual charm of the Daluo magic weapon, it will be obedient and the power of the flag can be fully exerted.

The only trouble is Gang Ling.

To drive the “Five-Direction Luofeng Flags”, one must at least integrate the five Ganglings and rely on the five camps of the underworld troops.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt a little distressed.

When he received the tasks one after another, he thought that the Gangling was easy to obtain, so he casually used the Sancai Demon-Suppressing Coins to make a magic flag. After using it a few times, he easily tore it apart.

The five powerful orders also disappeared.

After such a long time, there hasn’t been even one.

It seems that I need to be more careful in the future.

Although it is difficult to use the “Five-sided Luofeng Flag”, it can be used at any time.

Whether using the identity of a “living ghost messenger” to summon the underworld soldiers to capture people, or using the identity of a “celestial official” to summon the Thunder Department, or even using the “Bing Ding Sheng Gui Fu” to summon Wen Lingguan, conditions are required.

They were not afraid of fighting alone, but in these times, they often had to face a large number of enemies, so the “Five-sided Luofeng Flag” became very important, at least they would not be suppressed by military force anymore.

Thinking of this, Li Yan carefully put away the “Yellow Sky Five Elements Flag”.

He had a hunch that as humanitarian reforms deepened and the Huangquan organization was destroyed, there would definitely be many opportunities.

Putting the flag aside, he opened another box. Inside was the bronze Nuo mask with vertical eyes left by Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian.

He once suspected that this item was a magic tool left by Yang Jian to communicate with him.

Ever since Yang Jian ascended to god and left, this thing has remained silent.

To be honest, Li Yan had given up long ago, but at that time his mind was affected by the Yuzhou Ding, and he saw the scene of the Daluo Dharma Realm, which ignited hope in his heart again.

Maybe I’m using it the wrong way…

Li Yan held the bronze Nuo mask and carefully recalled the scene at that time.

He once thought that the Daluo Dharma Realm was another world.

The heaven hangs high above the clouds, and the underworld is hidden deep in the earth’s veins.

But what I saw at that time overturned my perception.

The Daluo Dharma Realm is more like a dark void.

The underworld is not underground, but a tree branch-like light.

Could it be that the light from other branches represents other forces, such as Heaven?

What frightened Li Yan was that there were definitely quite a few tree-branch-like lights in the darkness.

Some are bright, some are faint, some are huge, and some are small.

Even layer upon layer, vaguely forming the shape of a nebula.

Heaven, the netherworld, the Western Paradise…

Besides,

What are the others?
Daluo Dharma Realm,

What kind of existence is it…

Unconsciously, Li Yan fell into deep thought.

The light and shadow he saw at that time kept flashing in his mind.

At this moment, a piercing chill came from my hands.

Li Yan suddenly woke up, looked down, and joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The bronze Nuo mask was filled with evil spirits without anyone noticing, as if it appeared out of thin air. The part connected to his fingers even condensed with frost, and the area where his eyes were located also flickered with a faint glow…

It actually works.

Li Yan quickly recalled his actions and made some vague guesses.

Without any hesitation, he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and put on the bronze Nuo mask despite the piercing pain.

He was selfless before, recalling the scene of Daluo Dharma Realm.

Inadvertently, this is in line with the method of visualization!
He made hand gestures, entered a state of meditation, and recalled the scene he had seen at the beginning.

This time, it was indeed different.

The cold Nuo mask made his mind almost numb.

And the scenes of the Daluo Dharma Realm in my mind became more and more real.

Suddenly, a large area of ​​fog appeared in front of me.

Just like before, Li Yan’s sight once again penetrated the fog.

The darkness of the Daluo Dharma Realm suddenly appeared before his eyes.

There are still many densely packed branch-like lights.

This time, Li Yan looked more carefully.

These tree-branch-like lights, stacked layer upon layer, converge into the shape of a nebula.

Some are big, some are small, but they all shine brightly and seem to be spreading around.

The further down you go, the darker it gets.

What surprised Li Yan even more was that in other areas within his sight, there seemed to be flashing lights like tree branches.

Just as he was watching intently, a familiar feeling came over him again.

Li Yan lowered his head to check and saw that it was the same ray of light from the tree branch as last time.

It is located at the top, in the middle of many “tree branches”, and is vaguely connected to several larger “tree branches”…

Suddenly, he lost control and his sight quickly zoomed closer.

The branch-like light continued to spread and grow. Li Yan only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he came to a dark mountain. Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun was sitting cross-legged and making hand gestures on the top of the mountain, with the vertical eyes on his forehead flickering slightly.

Looking at the surrounding mountains, they were all dark and rugged, without any signs of life.

As he arrived, Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian was still sitting cross-legged and making hand gestures, with his eyes slightly closed. Only the pupils on his forehead were looking around, locking onto his position, but the focus of his pupils was a little abnormal.

Li Yan immediately understood that Erlang Zhenjun could not see him.

Just rely on the vertical eye on the forehead to perceive.

Li Yan opened his mouth, but was dismayed to find that he couldn’t speak at all.

Suddenly, Erlang Zhenjun raised his finger, put it to his mouth, and made a hushing gesture.

Is this to stop me from talking?
Just as Li Yan was puzzled, Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian stood up, slowly opened his eyes, but turned his gaze away, turned around and walked away.

What does this mean?
And his gaze actually followed Master Erlang.

Erlang Zhenjun, I want him to see something, but we can’t communicate…

Li Yan had a guess in his mind.

Could it be because of the “Heavenly Laws” and “Yin Laws”?

Either way, revealing the secret is a serious sin.

This method may avoid…

Before Li Yan could think about it, Erlang Zhenjun had already arrived at the cliff, leaped up, and auspicious clouds rolled under his feet instantly. He soared into the air and flew forward at an extremely astonishing speed.

Fly through the clouds!

Li Yan’s eyes almost popped out.

In this mortal world, Master Erlang cannot do this.

As Erlang Zhenjun broke through the air, Li Yan finally saw more.

Through the mist on the mountain, he saw the endless black wilderness.

A winding, muddy river flows through the earth.

On both sides of the river, there were people with disheveled hair and heads down walking forward, their figures were blurry.

Could this be Huangquan?
At the end of the underworld are endless dark palaces and huge, towering city gates.

Could that be the underworld?

Li Yan was excited and tried hard to see clearly.

However, Erlang Zhenjun did not come closer, but moved forward in another direction.

Not long after, after passing through a series of lifeless dark mountains, a vast black ocean suddenly appeared before our eyes.

Deep in the ocean, dark mountains rise into the clouds.

This is Luofeng Mountain!
Li Yan recognized it at a glance.

The vast black ocean around is clearly the soul sea.

He was very familiar with Luofeng Mountain.

But what is visualized in the mind is different from what is in front of you.

Erlang Zhenjun stood on the shore, looked into the distance, pointed at his head, and made a meditation gesture.

That’s it!

Li Yan instantly understood the purpose of Erlang Zhenjun’s visit.

No matter what kind of visualization method you use, there is a rule.

The clearer and more realistic your visualization is, the stronger your spiritual practice will be.

After seeing the real Luofeng Mountain, he practiced visualization again and was able to resonate with the mountain even more.

There is now a basis for practicing the Fengdu method.

For him, this is an opportunity that ordinary people can hardly obtain…
