Chapter 134 Liu Zun's Treasure Mirror! Water-Repelling Evil Pearl! Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan led thirty riders out of the city and headed towards Dayin River. He himself was at the Qi Refining Realm, and among the thirty riders, there was a garrison commander at the Jing Refining Realm. The ninth one is the flag bearer with strong inner cultivation. The remaining twenty people were also at the second level of martial arts, either in blood refining or marrow cleansing. He is considered the elite among the Inner City's Sky Monitoring Department. And because of the turmoil caused by Lin Yan, the Tianjian Division was facing tremendous pressure from various forces and was already short of staff. The fact that this group of elite troops has been mobilized now shows that this matter is extremely serious and unusual. Therefore, it is only natural for Liuzun Temple to send people to inquire. There was nothing shameful about drinking last night, so Lin Yan told the truth. "So, you met at Jinliu Manor, fought side by side, had a life-and-death friendship, and met again yesterday and drank together happily."
Miss Linghe nodded slightly and said, "That's fine. I'll go back to Liuzun Temple and report last night's banquet. There shouldn't be any problem." Lin Yan pondered and said, "Of course I have no problem, but Liu Zun Temple thinks that the demon snake transformed into a dragon has something to do with Pei Zongqi's group?" "It was probably just a coincidence. When they were crossing the Dayin River, the demon snake suddenly rose up, creating a storm and swept them all in." Miss Linghe said: "Then the demon snake showed signs of transforming into a dragon." After hesitating for a moment, Miss Linghe continued, "Logically speaking, it should have nothing to do with them, but since it involves the safety of Gaoliu City, any clues must be investigated." "I understand." Lin Yan nodded slightly, his expression cold. Miss Linghe bowed, took a half step back, and was about to leave. But when I think of this young prodigy, who was in the Refining Essence Realm at the age of more than 20, he was always brave and courageous and dared to draw his sword. She turned back, took something, and said softly, "This is a precious mirror made by my master. It has been enshrined in the Liuzun Temple for nine years." "The overall material is made of the branches of the willow statue, except for the mirror surface, which is polished smooth with copper and iron and embedded in it." "The patterns inside are the runes of my temple. When you cast it, use your heart's blood and sprinkle it on the back of the mirror." "I can use the divine power of Liu Zun to clear away the evil spirits from the outside world." "Logically speaking, it should be enough to intimidate the demon snake in Dayin River, but now it has the signs of turning into a dragon, so I don't know whether it can really work." She bowed and said, "But this is the only thing I have. Maybe it can help." "How do you know that I will go to Dayinjiang?" Lin Yan couldn't help but be surprised. Miss Linghe said softly, "Master Wu said before that General Pei Xiong is your close friend. With your personality, you will always want to avenge him. At least you will go to find out the truth." "It seems that the people in Gaoliu City who are interested in me know my personality very well."
Lin Yan laughed, and then said, "You came to Linjiang Division with Mr. Lu, and we only met once. Why would you give me such a big gift?" "The name of Wu Chang is well-known. Who in the city doesn't know it?" Miss Linghe's pretty face gradually became serious, and she said, "Before that, I maintained order in the city, and later I climbed up to the top of the city wall to fight against the evil spirits of the night." "On Niujiao Mountain, the evil spirit that merged with the divine will and energy is obviously not something my junior brother can deal with. Only someone like Fifth Master, who is at the level of refining essence, can save his life." "After that, Master Wu repeatedly killed the Jiejin monsters. For the 'justice' of Gaoliu City, he bravely drew his sword and killed his way into today's bright and clear world." She bowed and said, "In the temple, many people admire Fifth Master very much! I am unable to help with the matter of Dayinjiang, so I can only give you this gift. I hope it will be of use to Fifth Master." Then, without waiting for Lin Yan to refuse, he turned around, got on his mount, and prepared to leave. "Thank you, young lady. I will return the mirror to you when I return to the city." Lin Yan looked at her figure and bowed. "You're welcome, Master Wu." Miss Linghe turned her horse around and headed towards the inner city. She looked heroic and calm, not like someone burning incense in a temple, but rather a heroic female general with superb martial arts skills. "Master Yang, gather all the flags and arrange for tonight's patrol." Lin Yan turned and entered Linjiang Division with a cold look on his face. Yang Zhubu was startled and couldn't help but say, "Are you really going? The snake demon is about to transform into a dragon. It is extremely powerful. Even the deputy commander is probably just going to investigate and has no hope of killing this demon dragon..." "I have my own plans." Lin Yan walked into the hall and sat at the top. However, Chief Yang had no choice but to order people to invite all the small flags to return to Linjiang Division. Lin Xiaoqi, who had transformed from a little white ape, stood by and whispered, "Master, the big snake in Dayin River is said to have practiced Taoism for three hundred years. Now it is at the critical juncture of transforming into a dragon. If it can succeed this time, I'm afraid it will be three times stronger than my grandfather." "If you really can't defeat the enemy, just retreat and kill them later. I'm not a reckless man." Lin Yan said this and stretched out his hand. The little white ape quickly handed over the ancient phoenix blood jade. Lin Yan stroked the phoenix blood jade and said calmly, "Brother Pei is a loyal and upright person with rare qualities. We can be close friends." "He knew the danger, but he still accepted the job and went to Canyu Mansion just for this piece of Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade." "And the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade was delivered to me." "But he died on the way because of this mission." "If I can't avenge him, how can I survive in this world?" As soon as he finished speaking, he casually threw the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade to the little white ape and said, "I'll give you half an hour to refine this Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade and improve your own bloodline to give me more confidence." The little white ape quickly took it, understood the master's intention, and went to the backyard immediately.
Afterwards, Meng Lu, Feng Hui, Zou Jin, Zheng Liu and others came one after another, and under Lin Yan's arrangement, they prepared everything for tonight's inspection. Then Lin Yan got up and went to Mr. Lu's residence. Although he had heard of the snake monster in the Dayin River, he was not familiar with it. Now that it is at the critical juncture of transforming into a dragon, it is difficult to guess what mysterious abilities this snake demon has. In Gaoliu City, perhaps only Mr. Lu can give himself an answer. - Lu Gong's courtyard. Lu Tang came to open the door, and when he saw that it was Lin Yan who came, he couldn't help but be very enthusiastic and gave him a warm welcome. "A rare guest, a rare guest. Inspector, please come in. Have you eaten yet, old man?" "..." Lin Yan looked at the dark face in front of him, was silent for a moment, and said: "Have you encountered evil spirits recently? Even Mr. Lu can't cure it?" Lu Tang's face froze, and he immediately said awkwardly: "Mr. Lu once said that there is no order of learning, and those who are more accomplished are the first. Aren't you already ahead of me?" He came closer and said, "Speaking of which, although we have only known each other for a few days, ask yourself, I have been very good to you, right?" "You see, every time you come here, I cook for you." "The tea you drink is all from the leaves I got, and I also went outside to pick up the best spring water." "Before Master Lu prepared the medicinal bath materials for you, he first gave you my medicinal herbs." "After the slaughterhouse incident, I took care of you while you were lying in bed. I found herbs for you, cooked the medicine soup, changed your clothes, and applied ointment. I was just like a virtuous young wife..." Lu Tang chattered incessantly, his eyes full of eagerness. Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Just say what you want to say." Lu Tang blinked his eyes and asked mysteriously, "Have you reached the peak of the Essence Refining Realm and are you already studying the way to refine your essence into Qi?" "I knew that you were a genius, even better than Li Shenzong, and even more talented than me, Lu. You have already come from behind and are now ahead." "When you study the process of refining essence into qi, if you have any insights, please give me some advice." The dark-faced man smiled awkwardly, rubbed his palms, and said, "I calculated the days, and it's almost time for me to reach the end of the Refining Essence Realm this year." "I'm not at the peak of the Essence Refining Realm anymore." Lin Yan said calmly. "Ah?" The dark-faced man was stunned for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "Why didn't you say it earlier? I practiced smiling for several days, and my handsome face is wasted..." "I have entered the Qi Refining Realm." Lin Yan said lightly. "What?" The dark-faced man looked bewildered. "I'm going to see Mr. Lu, and I'll talk to you when I come back." Lin Yan walked into the yard.
Lu Tang stood there, looking dazed. He then looked up at the sky and touched his forehead. He looked around, feeling a little bewildered. Then he slowly sat down on the doorstep and fell into long thought. - Mr. Lu was preparing medicinal materials, but he didn't know what prescription he was going to prepare. Without even turning his head, he knew Lin Yan had arrived. "This big black face has always thought that he is a genius, second only to Li Shenzong." "He discovered that you had reached the end of the Refining Essence Realm before, which made him feel very frustrated and depressed for several days." Mr. Lu laughed, took some more herbs and put them in the medicine jar, saying, "He finally adjusted his mindset and wanted to study. He hopes to study with you the way to refine essence into qi." "Tell him now that he has already refined his essence into Qi." "He'll probably feel like a loser and won't want to eat for three days." "But it's good, so he won't think all day that he has an extraordinary talent that only appears once in a century." At this point, Lord Lu turned his head and asked, "Have you decided to go out of the city to investigate?" "Mr. Lu, do you know why I'm here?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "I should be the first one in the outer city to know about the affairs of Dayinjiang." Lord Lu paused for a moment, then continued to prepare the herbs. His tone became solemn, and he said, "Last night you were at Wangjiang Tower, hosting a banquet for Pei Xiong, and it even attracted various forces to go to Wangjiang Tower to curry favor with you. This is not a secret." "You have always been good at judging people. Pei Xiong must have a very high opinion of you for being treated so courteously by you." "Although I have never met Pei Xiong, I have read his detailed information. This man has outstanding achievements and good character. He is a man worth making friends with." He raised his head, looked at Lin Yan, and said, "Given your personality, you must want to investigate Pei Xiong's unclear death! But I have to advise you, that giant snake that turned into a dragon is extraordinary, you may not be its opponent!" Lin Yan said sternly: "Don't worry, Lord Lu. If it is not my opponent today, I will cherish my life and retreat back to Gaoliu City to accumulate my skills and then kill it." Upon hearing this, Lord Lu nodded and said, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It is precious that you have this understanding!" "Ten years is too late." Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Ten days, maybe. If I'm no match for you this time, I'll go again in ten days." "..." Mr. Lu fell into deep thought. After a moment, without further ado, he poured all the prepared medicinal materials into the pot. He immediately took out the talisman from his arms, chanted a spell, and then burned it in the medicine pot. "Since I learned about the incident at Dayin River, I knew you were going to leave the city and have been preparing this for an hour."
At this time, Lord Lu raised his head and said, "Wait another quarter of an hour, the fire is almost ready, and I will pour the medicine soup into the box... You can take this box of medicine with you and leave the city." Hearing this, Lin Yan asked in surprise: "What is this?" Lord Lu stroked his beard slightly, and did not answer directly. He just said, "Back then, there was a forbidden area outside Qifeng Mansion. Once any living creature entered and set foot in it, the blood in their body would be immediately drained and thrown outside the forbidden area, and their body would dry up and die." "Later, I borrowed the mirror of the Wutong Goddess and found that there was a 'weird object' in the forbidden area. It was shaped like pearls and jade, and it could drive away some 'water vapor'!" "In the strange book, it is listed as a 'forbidden item' and is called the Water-Repelling Evil Pearl." "The talisman just now is called the Water-Repelling Talisman. It was imitated by observing the surface patterns of the 'Water-Repelling Evil Pearl' with a magic mirror." "Before you came, I had already added twelve water-repelling talismans into the medicine pot." "This time, the situation is urgent. I can only use such a crude method to make you a piece of 'water-repellent ointment'. Pour it into a box, let it cool down, and apply it on your body. The river water will avoid you." As he spoke, Lord Lu's expression became serious, and he said, "Boy, this time, the big snake turned into a dragon, which is a bit strange. You must be careful." "What's weird?" "Now everyone believes that it was the giant snake that transformed into a dragon, stirring up trouble and using the power of the river to complete the transformation." "Isn't it?" Lin Yan asked. "This big snake is not strong enough, and the fire is not yet ripe. Logically speaking, it will take another twenty years before it can turn into a dragon." Mr. Lu showed a rare solemn expression and said solemnly: "I suspect that there is something wrong with Dayin River itself!" "Mr. Lu wants me to investigate the source of this problem?" "I am afraid that you want to explore the source of this problem!" Master Lu pointed at the water-repellent ointment in the medicine pot and said, "This thing is not to help you swim in the water and fight against the dragon! I just want you to try the water of Dayin River after applying the water-repellent ointment!" "How to try?" "I applied water-repellent ointment on my hands, and then scooped up a handful of river water." "This water-repellent ointment can repel river water, but I'm afraid it can't be lifted up?" "If you can't lift it up, it doesn't mean that the source of Dayin River is fine. I guessed wrong." Lord Lu looked solemn and said, "If the river water is lifted up, it means... this river water is no longer ordinary water!" (End of this chapter)
