Hearing Taoist Lin's words, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu could only help Batulu under a tree, and then started to prepare separately.

It was the first time in my life that I encountered this kind of situation, and I didn’t know what to do. Li Zhongyong and others seemed to have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and they seemed quite panicked.

Among the few people, only Li Zhongyong carried a long sword with him. Chen Liqiu and Tian Zhengong did not have weapons. The enemy might appear at any time and it was necessary to have weapons. Chen Liqiu opened one of the wooden boxes and took out two iron rods.

The front part of one of them was quite sharp, and the two iron rods were twisted and joined together to form a spear. He then threw the spear towards Tian Zhengong, "Fourth, continue."

After Tian Zhenyumi took the spear, Chen Liqiu took out a shovel from the wooden box. The shovel was only one foot long, and a two-foot-long iron rod was connected to the back end just for shoveling convenience.

Seeing Chen Liqiu cover the wooden box, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Third brother, give me one."

Chen Liqiu waved his hands repeatedly, "Go on, who have you beaten? Find a place to hide quickly."

If you refuse, continue to beg. .??.

Taoist priest Lin who was not far away turned around when he heard the sound, "The other party is not a good person. You don't know martial arts. You will only lose your life if you stay here. Let's leave before the enemy arrives."

It was the first time for anyone to encounter such a thing, and everyone would be afraid, and he was no exception, but he had no intention of running away, "I won't leave."

"Hey, hey, even if you want to leave, you can't." A cold and strange smile came from the southwest forest.

Taoist Lin did not speak to them anymore, turned around and saluted to the southwest, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, which way are you heroes, and why are you blocking our way?"

Without spiritual energy cultivation, he was not allowed to see at night. Night had fallen and he could not see what was going on in the woods in the distance, but judging from the messy and urgent footsteps, the number of people coming was at least ten.

"Lin Dongyang, can't you even recognize my voice?" Someone spoke in the darkness.

Previously, I only knew Daozhang Lin's name, Luo Yangzi, but did not know his lay name. The visitor actually knew Daozhang Lin's lay name, which showed that this person was very familiar with Daozhang Lin.

After a brief recollection, Daochang Lin asked, "Are you Zhong Ageng from the Nanzhao Caravan?"

"I have a good memory. It's me," the person revealed his identity, and then ordered loudly, "Light the torch!"

After the leader gave the order, torches were lit up in various places in the forest.

The torches are not concentrated in one area, but are scattered around the people on our side. It is still unknown how many people from the other side have come. There are at least twenty or thirty torches alone.

With the light of the fire, I saw the appearance of the person who came. He must be about forty years old, with a thin build and dark skin. He was wearing a strange black and red robe. Because of the erratic light of the fire, the view was not very clear. I originally thought

There was a scorpion lying on the left side of this man's face. When he got closer, he discovered that the scorpion was not a real scorpion, but a scorpion tattoo.

The people who appeared with this person were not very tall, and they all had scimitars on their waists. Their attire did not look like that of Han people. All of them had poisonous insect tattoos on their faces, with firelight jumping and various poisonous insect tattoos on their faces.

It looked ugly and hideous under the firelight.

The leader approached slowly and stopped on the opposite side of the stream, about two feet away from Daoist Lin. The others also approached, five feet apart, and surrounded the six of them.

"Lin Dongyang, you have been expelled from Gezao Mountain for many years, how come you are still dressing up as a Taoist?" The enemy chief named Zhong Ageng smiled.

Taoist priest Lin did not answer the other party's question, but asked in a deep voice, "Gang Leader Zhong, why are you traveling all the way to this coastal place when you are not living in the warmth and tranquility of southern Yunnan?"

"It's not easy to see you. When I found out you were here, I immediately went north without stopping." Zhong Ajie was chewing something in his mouth as he spoke. He didn't know what he was eating, but he could only see the clinging to it.

Bright red juice on teeth.

Taoist priest Lin smiled coldly and did not answer.

"Since we've already met, don't wait any longer and take it out quickly." Zhong Ageng said.

"What do you want?" Lin Taoist asked in a deep voice.

"Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, what else can I want, of course the jade seal of the King of Dian." Zhong Ageng said.

"I have never seen the Jade Seal of the King of Dian." Lin Taoist said seriously.

"Haha," Zhong Agen sneered and then revealed a fierce look, "Lin Dongyang, do you really think our caravan can trick you? In order to help you open the ancient tomb in the snow mountain, not to mention that we exhausted hundreds of mules and horses.

A dozen brothers have died, we dig wells, and you draw water, how can this be the truth in the world?"

Taoist priest Lin said, "We had an appointment back then.

Determine, you and I will work together to open the ancient tomb of the Dian King in Yulong Mountain. I will only take the elixirs in the tomb, and the rest will belong to you. I have not taken anything in the tomb except the elixirs."

Zhong Agen's nose twitched, "We didn't find the Jade Seal of the King of Dian from the tomb after you left. You were the first person to enter the tomb back then. If you didn't take the Jade Seal of the King of Dian, who else could it be?"

"You are just guessing that there may be a jade seal of the King of Dian in the tomb, but it does not mean that the jade seal of the King of Dian must be in that ancient tomb," Lin Daochang said seriously, "What's more, the jade seal of the King of Dian is useful to you, but it is of no use to me."

When Lin Daozhang was talking to Zhong Agen, he observed the expressions of everyone on his side. Li Zhongyong, Chen Liqiu and others all had doubtful looks on their faces, which showed that they were not involved in the matter. The grudge between Lin Daozhang and the caravan happened after Lin Daozhang

before accepting them.

Although Zhong Ageng led the caravan to surround everyone, he did not immediately take action. He seemed to be quite afraid of Taoist Lin, and the two sides continued to argue fiercely for a while.

"Third brother, who are these people?" he asked in a low voice.

Chen Liqiu said casually, "I'm not familiar with them either. I've only heard from my master. According to my master, Nanzhao is a dangerous place with high mountains and dense forests. Traveling over mountains and ridges is all done by mules and horses, so the birth of Nanzhao

A caravan that makes a living by selling salt and tea on horseback, but although the caravan has a large number of gangs, they are mostly a ragtag group, and their martial arts are mediocre."

"You see they all have poisonous insects on their faces. I'm afraid they are good at poisoning." He said.

Chen Liqiu shook his head slowly, "They are just good at poisoning, not good at it. The ones who are really good at poisoning are Gu Village in central Guizhou and Longwang Mountain in Xiangzhou."

After hearing what Chen Liqiu said, he nodded slowly and then asked, "What is the Jade Seal of the King of Dian?"

"I haven't heard Master mention it before," Chen Liqiu shook his head and said, "But judging from the name, it should be the jade seal used by the King of Dian. Don't ask me what the jade seal is for, I don't know."

"Why didn't I see that monkey?" he said. "Is there another group of people besides them?"

Chen Liqiu can see clearly at night, "The monkey is on the tree behind them."

Although Chen Liqiu told the location of the monkey, he could not see it. It was too dark and he could only see a small area illuminated by the fire.

"Third brother, can we beat him?"

They?" asked again.

Chen Liqiu slowly shook his head, "I don't know, we have never done anything with anyone before, and we don't know what the master has been looking for all these years. It turns out that the master has been looking for some kind of elixir."

While talking to Chen Liqiu, Taoist Lin was also arguing with Zhong Agen. It could be seen that Zhong Agen was quite afraid of Taoist Lin, and it could also be seen that Taoist Lin did not want to fight with Zhong Agen and others. Although both parties

Despite the heated debate, he always maintained a certain degree of restraint.

The argument will never be fruitful. In the end, Zhong Ageng proposed to check the boxes and baggage carried by everyone. If there is no jade seal of the King of Dian in it, the matter will end there.

"I won't let you search me." Lin Daochang said seriously.

"We don't need to search you," Zhong Ageng said. "The jade seal of the King of Dian is more than two inches high, so you can't carry it with you."

"If the jade seal of the King of Dian is not in our luggage, you will suspect that we hid the jade seal." Lin Daochang said.

"No," Zhong Ageng shook his head and said, "You will definitely carry such an important thing with you. If the jade seal is really not in your hands, we will retreat and write off the past."

"It's a deal?" Lin Daozhang confirmed.

"It's a deal." Zhong Agen nodded.

Seeing that the two sides had reached an agreement, both the enemy and ourselves secretly breathed a sigh of relief. We would try our best not to take action if we can, because once we take action, it is not necessarily who will die.

Since the jade seal of the King of Dian mentioned by Zhong Agen is very big, there is no need to conduct a body search. All you need to do is open the baggage and show it to the caravan.

In order to get a closer look, Zhong Agen deliberately sent two people across the stream to observe closely.

Taoist priest Lin agreed to the other party's request, but also made a request that the person inspecting it could not read.

Everyone on your side opens the packages one by one and shows them to each other. There is no need to show them too carefully. Clothes and sundries that cannot hide the jade seal can be left alone.

After looking at the baggage, you can see the contents of the wooden boxes. One of the wooden boxes contains the magical objects needed for performing rituals and some digging tools, and the other wooden box contains bamboo slips and ancient books.
