Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 70

There were about a dozen people, but they were divided into several teams, occupying different positions, vaguely encircling them.But it can be clearly seen that these people are definitely not in the same group.

Gu Leyou held a lantern in his hand, and said loudly: "I am Gu Leyou from Chuyun Temple, the first peak in Wuling Mountains, everyone stopped here, are you here to save people?"

This is knowingly asked.

On the opposite side, a man with a horse face in a Taoist robe took a look and asked, "Are you a disciple of Taoist Izumo?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that Taoist Izumo has passed away, and the Taoist temple has also declined. If you don't stay on the mountain, why come here to join in the fun?"

There was a sense of contempt in the words.

Gu Leyou laughed and said, "Because of the decline, money is urgently needed, so I come here to do business."

A man with a short beard sneered and said, "I don't know how to live or die. Is this money so easy to earn?"

Someone else said in a strange way: "These days, any cat or dog can come out to do business."

Enemies in the same industry, not to mention such highly competitive missions.They saw that Gu Leyou and Chen Jin were young, and they looked like disciples and juniors. What skills could they have?So they all spoke out and ridiculed.

"Little Gu, do you recognize me?"

Amidst the voice, an old man in blue robe walked out.

Seeing this, Gu Leyou hurriedly said, "So it's Lao Lan, and you're here too."

Old Lan grinned: "Xiao Gu, the last time I saw you was five years ago, and you followed behind your master. Times have changed, and the old man has passed away, which is really sad."

After a pause, he continued: "Listen to my advice, you can't get involved in the affairs of Li Village, go back quickly, don't make mistakes."

If he was alone, Gu Leyou might have to retreat, but with Chen Jin's help, the situation is completely different, and he said: "Thank you, Mr. Lan, for reminding me of your care, but I have come all the way. Since I came, I will be at ease. If you can’t make a deal, just watch the excitement and gain some knowledge.”

"It's up to you, don't say it's unpredictable."

Lan Lao flicked his sleeves, his expression was not very good-looking.He came to persuade him as an elder, but Gu Leyou politely rejected his kindness, because he didn't know good from bad.

"Ha, hello Gu Guanzhu."

This is an old friend, Lai Zhishu, the host of Mingchuan Temple.

Gu Leyou was stunned for a moment, and said: "Guanzhu Lai is here too."

Lai Zhishu came to Chen Jin again: "I have met Mr. Chen."

The attitude is very respectful.

Chen Jin said with a smile: "This transaction is really a disturbance."

Lai Zhishu stroked his beard: "The world is difficult, who wouldn't be tempted to buy and sell thousands of taels of silver?"

Gu Leyou grabbed him, came to the car, and asked, "What's the situation now? Why are everyone stuck here instead of entering the village?"

Lai Zhishu smiled wryly and said: "Someone has entered the village. One call yesterday, two calls today, and a total of eight people in three calls. There are fellow Taoist Zhou Yang from Heshan Temple, and Xiao Chuntian, a well-known master in Lingnan, but they are all meat buns." Beating dogs, never returning, all trapped in the village, life and death are uncertain. In this situation, some people were scared away; the rest gathered outside to discuss a joint plan. But there are too many people, and the rewards are not good Assignments, quarrels, and delays to this day."

Gu Leyou sneered and said, "Before the geese were shot down, there was a conflict over how to eat. It really is the practice circle."

Lai Zhishu said: "Isn't it? But there's no way, they are all people with heads and faces, Lan Lao, Li Wuqi from the Wu Zang Sect, Niu Dali from the Beast School, and the left and right door gods from the Paper Maker..."

The more Gu Leyou heard it, the more frightened he became: "These are all famous people in our Lingnan practice circle, for a thousand taels of silver, what about it?"

Lai Zhishu lowered his voice: "I only realized something was wrong after I came here. The specific situation is unknown. I only heard some rumors saying that the kid surnamed Qin was lucky enough to get a rare precious medicine in the world. That's why he was taken by Li Village. For some reason, news of this matter leaked out, so Lan Lao and the others came here, nominally to save people, but in fact to grab medicine."

After listening to it, Gu Leyou suddenly said, "So that's the case, what kind of precious medicine is it?"

Lai Zhishu spread his hands: "Then I don't know."

At this point, the matter suddenly became complicated. Gu Leyou felt depressed. He knew the strength of Lan Lao and others. They were all famous figures who had been immersed in the night tour for many years. Trying to snatch people from them is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel dejected: "Scholar, I made your trip for nothing."

Chen Jin asked: "Why, are you giving up?"

Gu Leyou sighed: "What can't be done, can't be forced? We are asking for money, not here to work hard."

Chen Jin smiled: "These days, those who are not willing to work hard will not be able to make money."

Gu Leyou was startled: "What do you mean, do a show?"

Chen Jin said seriously: "I feel that since we are here, we should not give up lightly. If you are timid, how can you break into the rivers and lakes? How can you become famous?"

Gu Leyou's eyes lit up: "You are right, let's do it!"

Lai Zhishu listened, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, Gu Guanzhu, if you don't dislike him, you can count me in. Although Lai is not very capable, he can help you with certain things."

Gu Leyou asked: "Didn't you negotiate with them?"

Lai Zhishu said proudly: "I feel more secure with you, besides, it is better to be familiar with each other. When we are on the mountain, at least we have some friendship."

His status was a bit embarrassing. Although he was the master of observation, he was not strong enough to be on the stage, and he was not qualified to have an equal conversation with Lan Lao and the others.

That being the case, it's better to travel with Chen Jin and Gu Le.

The most important point is that he has seen Chen Jin's swordsmanship.

Gu Leyou looked at Chen Jin: "Scholar, what do you think?"

For this kind of thing, Chen Jin had to make up his mind and make a decision.

Chen Jin said: "One more person, one more strength, that's fine."

Lai Zhishu was overjoyed: "Thank you Mr. Chen, Lai has a good friend over there, I'll go talk to him."

His friend's name is "Ma He", a wandering Taoist priest. After hearing this, he said in amazement, "Brother Lai, those two are just juniors. You chose to enter the village with them, are you out of your mind?"

Lai Zhishu said: "Gu Leyou's ability is really nothing, but that Mr. Chen is a powerful swordsman, he dared to face Huang Daxian."

Ma He asked: "Have you ever fought Huang Daxian's real body?"

Lai Zhishu shook his head: "It's not the real body."

Ma He sneered and said, "What does that mean? From my point of view, he's just a bravado. Now that there are prominent practitioners in Lingnan, most of them are here. This is a rare opportunity. You don't want to deal with Old Lan and the others. Well, it's useless to make people laugh if you hang out with two juniors."

It is difficult to convince others. We are all adults, with stereotyped concepts and firm cognition. How can it be easily changed?

Lai Zhishu couldn't convince his friend, so he had no choice but to give up and go over by himself to join Chen Jin.

Ma He watched him go, shook his head, turned around and ran towards Old Lan.

The lantern was hung on the roof of the carriage, shining a dim yellow light. Mynah and Xiaoba stood beside the lantern, looking around, looking very vigilant.

Gu Leyou asked: "Guanzhu Lai, is your friend unwilling to come?"

Lai Zhishu replied: "Everyone has his own aspirations, let him go... Brother Gu, this time we have the opportunity to fight side by side, so we don't want to be born. I am older than you, so I call you brother by licking my face."

Gu Leyou laughed: "Very good, Brother Lai is right."

As soon as the name changed, the relationship also became friendly.

Chen Jin suddenly asked: "Brother Lai, how much do you know about Li Village?"

The call of "Brother Lai" made Lai Zhishu's bones tingle, and he hurriedly said: "Li Village is also known as 'ghost village', which is very mysterious and treacherous. According to legend, it has been raised for hundreds of years, and it is very powerful."

Chen Jin asked: "With such a secret technique, won't one's life be shortened?"

"That's right. Ghost raisers basically have a short lifespan. If they can live past forty, they are considered long-lived. Not to mention ghost raisers, it is other schools of exorcising techniques. Practicing secret methods will more or less cause backlash, making the body If you can’t bear it, or your lifespan will decrease drastically, or your organs will mutate, and you will become human and ghosts. This is the price of practicing the law.”

Lai Zhishu explained.

Gu Leyou said: "The secret techniques you mentioned are not the righteous methods of the primordial spirit, and they are not even considered heretics. They are already evil ways."

Lai Zhishu shrugged his shoulders: "In today's world, there are more and more people practicing evil ways. After all, it is easy to get started... Speaking of Li Village, their strength is determined by the ghosts they raise, but because they have little contact with the outside world, no one knows. How many ghosts there are in the village, and how many old ghosts and evil spirits. In short, they will not be weak, after all, there are already three groups of masters trapped in the village."

Chen Jin asked again: "Those three groups of people went in during the day, right?"

"Sure, who dares to enter the ghost village at night, isn't that courting death?"

Lai Zhishu's face was a little nervous: "It looks like this, even in the daytime, things are not easy to handle."

Chen Jin raised his head and looked around: "Mazi Mountain is a mass grave, and Li Village is located at the foot of the mountain, which just matches."

Places like mass graves are the most resentful and suitable for raising ghosts.

He suddenly remembered the evil spirits provoked by the Weiyuan Escort Bureau years ago. The destination of the Escorts was Mazishan, but he didn't know if it had anything to do with Li Village.

With the sound of footsteps, a dozen people approached the carriage.

When Lai Zhishu saw it, he secretly yelled "No".

Gu Leyou held the hilt of the sword, stood up and said, "What do you want to do?"

The horse-faced man said coldly: "We have finished our discussions and reached an alliance to do things for Li Village together. You juniors, leave quickly and don't get in the way here."

Gu Leyou said unconvinced: "I just said that I want to stay and watch the excitement."

The horse-faced man snorted: "Watching the excitement? Dare you want to reap the benefits of the fisherman? Do you think we will sit idly by and let you stay here?"

Gu Leyou argued hard: "You have been entrusted by the Qin family to save people, and so are we. We all have the same purpose, so why drive people away? It's too overbearing."

At this time, Lan Lao said: "Little Gu, I only gave you a little face when I saw that you are an old friend's disciple. Don't toast and drink fine wine, it will break the harmony."

After a pause, put on a kind expression: "Actually, if you want to stay, it's okay, just join us."

Gu Leyou asked: "What will you do after joining?"

"Naturally, you have to obey orders, and you can't be timid and shrink back."

"Hehe, it really is a good plan."

Lan Lao's face darkened: "That's the end of the conversation, whether to go or stay, make a quick decision, I don't have time to argue with you."

Gu Leyou groaned for a while, the other party said "join the cooperation", in fact, they wanted to use them as cannon fodder, but if they didn't agree, they would immediately tear their faces and start fighting.At such a critical point, it can only depend on Chen Jin's idea.

However, before Chen Jin could express his opinion, there was a sudden scream: "Ah!"

The shrill voice made everyone's faces change.

I don't know when the change happened, the surrounding mist was thick and diffuse, and even the stars and moon in the night sky were covered, the brilliance was dim, and it was dark.

"Who is calling?"

"What happened?"

"Everyone, be careful, it's people from Li Village who are here."

The last sentence was yelled by Old Lan. He has a lot of cultivation and quickly sensed something was wrong, so he hurriedly sounded a warning.

When everyone heard the words, they immediately became alert and could no longer care about Chen Jin and the others.

Lai Zhishu held a sword in one hand and a bronze bell in the other, with a nervous expression on his face: "Why did the people from Li Village come out?"

Chen Jin said: "I'm not stupid. I just watched so many people form an alliance outside the village. Instead of waiting for the attack tomorrow, it's better to strike first and come out at night to attack."

A dark ghost, its strength doubles at night.

Gu Leyou also felt a little nervous, and directly showed the Chiyue Sword. To deal with ghosts, ordinary weapons are difficult to cause damage, and you need to use magical weapons.

What Chen Jin held in his hand was a fine iron sword, and he took the opportunity to look around and see how strong Lan Lao and his group were.

But I saw a huge man in the crowd, nearly nine feet high, which is close to two meters in modern units.He was not wearing normal clothes, but a tiger skin. Where his bare chest came out, there were large tattoos. The patterns were mottled and rough, and it was impossible to tell what kind of beast he was tattooing for a while.

This one is Niu Dali from the Beast School, he truly lives up to his name;

There was another person, whose body proportions were quite prominent, with thin and thin lower limbs, but an unusually strong upper body, and a head as big as a bucket, which looked deformed.He is Li Wuqi, the elder of the Wu Zang Sect, who has been famous for a long time and is known for his ruthless methods.

There are also two tall and thin men standing together, regardless of their height, clothing, and facial features, they are almost exactly the same. It is difficult to tell who is who from the appearance alone.Their faces were stiff, their expressions seemed to be drawn, and they were lifeless.It makes people shudder to watch.

The two are the left and right door gods of the paper maker. It is said that they are not human beings at all, but paper figurines.However, there is another saying that they are actually human beings, and they only became like this after practicing the secret technique for a long time.

These few existences already belonged to the "giants" in Lingnan's practice circle.I didn't see anyone before, but now that there is an accident, they come out one by one.Stand with the crowd and form a defensive formation.

At this time, another new situation happened. A white lantern rose unsteadily from the direction of Li Village, and then floated over.

A face suddenly appeared on the lantern skin, with blue-faced fangs and two horns on its head, it was a ferocious grimace!
