The old man saw that although Li Yi was young, he had extraordinary bearing. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "I wonder who this little brother has learned from? Why did he come to the border of western Hunan?"
Although the old man stopped the young man from further provoking, the condescending questioning tone in his tone made Li Yi feel very uncomfortable. Li Yi frowned slightly and said: "Excuse me, old man, my poor Taoist master's background is not worth mentioning. This poor Taoist is just here." leave."
Li Yi was secretly surprised. The old man called himself the Xiangxi Yan family, and the young man said that the girl before was named Zhong Xiaoqi. It seems that he had just come to Xiangxi today and met all the figures from the Xiangxi Yan family and the Xiangxi Zhong family. On fire.
Because of its unique geographical location and cultural inheritance, Taoism in Western Hunan is neither accepted by the shamans in the mountains of southern Xinjiang nor recognized by the cultivation world in China. A unique cultivation culture has been formed in Western Hunan, such as the The three great arts: exorcising corpses, releasing gu, and falling flowers in the cave are called the three major evil arts in Western Hunan by the orthodox cultivators in China.
The cultivation world in western Hunan has also developed its own cultivation sect They often use family as the inheritance method, which is somewhat similar to the inheritance of the Central Plains Taoist Celestial Master Sect. In the family fights one after another, some families rise and some fall. Today, the two most famous families in western Hunan are the Xiangxi Yan family and the Xiangxi Zhong family.
The old man is Yan Kuang, the contemporary head of the Yan family in Xiangxi. He can be regarded as a man who shakes mountains with his stamp of his feet in Xiangxi. Therefore, his actions are of great importance, so Yan Kuang leads his two sons, Yan Da Zhuang, Yan Da Qiang and goes out in person.
"Boy, you are toasting instead of being punished with a fine drink! Let me ask you, did you catch all the ghosts in this place!" The young man who was just Yan Dazhuang got angry when he saw Li Yi's appearance. , hold the steel fork and rush up.
If you want to fight, who is afraid of whom? ! Li Yi's face was calm, but his heart was secretly on guard.
"Da Zhuang, don't be rude!" Yan Kuang shouted angrily to stop Yan Da Zhuang. Yan Kuang bowed his hands to Li Yi and said, "The younger generation in the family is incompetent. Please forgive me. I will talk to you now." Farewell my friend!"
While the speaker was speaking, a trace of imperceptible powder flicked out from the tip of Yan Kuang's little finger
Li Yi watched the three members of the Yan family leave, his expression getting colder and colder If Li Yi guessed correctly, the powder that popped out from the tip of Yan Kuang's little finger just now must be the poison of the three major evil arts in western Hunan. Ordinary people can't find that tiny bit of powder at all, and even if they find it, they don't think there's anything wrong Nowadays, Xiangxi has been experiencing a drought for a long time, and there is dust everywhere. When everyone walks around, who doesn't get a little dust on his body?
However, although Yan Kuang's behavior was hidden, with Li Yi's current cultivation level, how could he easily follow Yan Kuang's ways? Apart from anything else, the black and yellow blood that Li Yi possesses alone cannot be invaded by ordinary poisons.
The reason why Li Yi didn't point it out was because there was something fishy about everything today: the Zhong family seemed to know the cause of the drought; the Yan family pursued the Zhong family; and the people from both families asked themselves questions as soon as they met. Should we collect those lonely ghosts? There are faint ghosts moving around in the small cloth bags hanging on the Yan family's bodies
Since there are clues about local snakes, why bother running around like a headless fly by yourself? When the three Yan family members walked away, Li Yi snorted coldly and followed them calmly.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
"Father, that boy made a mistake, why didn't you let me kill him with a fork?" On the way, Yan Dazhuang said to the person beside him, his words still full of indignation.
"Absurd! My father has always taught you to use your brain when things happen, but you are still so reckless and impulsive! That boy has a good cultivation level and an extraordinary bearing. He is a son of a famous family at first glance. If you provoke the famous family in the world of cultivation by killing that boy, Sect, it may bring disaster to our Xiangxi Yan family!" Yan Kuang scolded: "What if this delays the affairs of our ancestors?"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but yan kuang said in his heart, that boy has been saving ghosts along the way and he must not be allowed to cause trouble in the territory of western Hunan. Humph! Now that kid has been infected by his own Heart-Eating Gu, he will definitely die without anyone noticing at noon today. At that time, all his flesh and blood will be swallowed up by the Heart-Eating Gu, and then the bones will be thrown away. Who knows in the barren mountains and ridges? who?
As soon as Yan Kuang mentioned his ancestors, Yan Da Zhuang's expression tightened and he stopped talking.
Yan Kuang's eyes flickered: "The most urgent thing we have to do is to catch up with Zhong Xiaoqi. This matter is of great importance. We must not let that girl leak the news, otherwise we will definitely destroy our family and our clan!"
Li Yi secretly followed the three of them, waiting until the sun was setting and the moon was rising. The Yang energy during the day slowly dissipated, and the Yin energy at night gradually increased. Those lonely ghosts began to come out again
The three members of the Yan family began to get busy. Yan Kuang took out a gong from his arms. Whenever he met a ghost, he would ring the gong with a "clang" sound, and those ghosts would be killed.The sound of the gong vibrated, and he was immediately unable to move. At this time, the two young men stepped forward and grabbed all the ghosts into the bag as easily as picking up fish.
The three Yan family members were catching ghosts and tracking Zhong Xiaoqi at an astonishing speed.
"Father, look" When the moon was almost at its zenith, Yan Daqiang suddenly pointed to a wilderness road.
In the hazy moonlight, there are countless will-o'-the-wisps dancing there, and a vague figure is shaking a small bell in the will-o'-the-wisps, chanting a spell That person is obviously trying to save the ghosts.
"Zhong Xiaoqi! Where are you going to run away this time?" Yan Dazhuang held a steel fork in his hand and shouted loudly, running straight towards that place. Li Kuang and Yan Dazhuang hurriedly followed.
"Niece, you and I, Zhong Yan, have developed independently in western Hunan. For thousands of years, wells and rivers have not interfered with each other. Why do you have to fight against each other?!" The three Yan family members took their positions and surrounded Zhong Xiaoqi tightly in the middle. Words happen.
"Bah! Do you think you deserve to be called my niece? It's not me who is making trouble, it's you who are making trouble to the fellow villagers in western Hunan!" Zhong Xiaoqi looked disdainful: "By the way, there is a severe drought in western Hunan now. , your Yan family is also an aristocratic family in Xiangxi, how can you bear to see the folks in Xiangxi running away to death, with nine out of ten houses empty? Why are you waiting for the father and son to catch those ghosts? I, Zhong Xiaoqi, must do it in front of the folks. Expose your sinister intentions!"
Yan Kuang's face gradually turned cold, he raised the gong in his hand and snorted coldly: "Zhong Xiaoqi, there is no need to discuss this!?"
Zhong Xiaoqi was too lazy to pay attention to the situation. She held a bell in one hand and a dagger in the other, focusing on the situation! In this wilderness where will-o'-the-wisps are flying all over the sky, a dispute between two aristocratic families in western Hunan is about to break out!
