Chapter 59 Divine Sound and Four Symbols
"That battle was truly exhilarating!"
Yang Jian took a deep breath, and the muscles on his body, which resembled those of a living python, began to contract, and his figure slowly returned to normal, making him look less brutal.
This is a method of concealing one's physical form, which Yang Jian mastered after consulting with Zheng Bo. It is not complicated to practice.
After a few tries, Yang Jian mastered it completely!
He can activate it in the blink of an eye, unleashing combat power that can catch others off guard and become his trump card. The effect was quite good just now.
Yang Jian thoroughly enjoyed this head-on confrontation!
"Search her body and see if there's anything good."
As Yang Jian saw several guards approaching, one of them took out clothes that Yang Jian had prepared in advance.
Knowing your own situation allows you to make extra preparations.
While Yang Jian was changing his clothes, he arranged for someone to search the corpse.
The woman in red must hold a high position within the Divine Symbol Society, and may possess valuable items.
After Yang Jian put on his new clothes, several items appeared in front of him.
The items included a shattered blood-red jade talisman, an exquisite wind chime made of gold, a book titled "Doctrine," a book titled "The Four Symbols of Divine Sound," and some silver coins.
These were all found on the body of the woman with the red talisman.
It's fortunate that Yang Jian's punches were aimed at the head of the woman with the red talisman, otherwise these things would probably have been destroyed!
On the broken blood-red jade talisman, one could vaguely see dense red runes engraved on it. Just as Yang Jian destroyed the drum and retreated, the woman in red crushed the blood-red jade talisman, and her aura changed drastically.
This blood-red jade talisman was very likely the source from which he obtained the white light cluster, but unfortunately it was shattered, greatly reducing its research value.
The exquisite gold wind chime is very likely the one that the woman in red made upstairs last time, causing people to feel dizzy. Further research is needed.
The two books, the "Doctrine" being the doctrine of the Divine Talisman Society, were quickly flipped through by Yang Jian, who lost interest after a few glances. Every single point was a guide for believers, instructing them to follow the religion.
However, Yang Jian found the book "The Four Symbols of Divine Sound" very interesting. It was a rare sonic technique that could be used in conjunction with musical instruments, making it difficult to defend against.
Yang Jian had previously heard the red-clad woman's mesmerizing bell rings and heart-pounding drumbeats, all of which were recorded in the book, which piqued his interest.
However, Yang Jian did not study it in detail at this time, because the battle of Jiang Lang and others attacking the dock was not over yet, gunshots were still ringing out on the dock, and the people of the Divine Talisman Society were not all dead.
Yang Jian and his men continued to guard the intersection from the thatched hut area to the dock, to prevent any reinforcements from the Divine Talisman Society from arriving.
Not long after, the gunfire finally stopped.
"The dock has been successfully acquired!"
Jiang Lang stood on the dock and shouted loudly.
Others also came over to join in the celebration.
The battle started poorly, with a change of commanders at the last minute and strange drumming adding to the chaos. However, things turned out alright in the end, and they still managed to win.
These people are celebrating, which is also a way for them to vent their pent-up emotions.
In the midst of a life-or-death battle, how can one relax?
Jiang Lang and the others did not celebrate for long. They quickly arranged for people to check on the condition of those who had fallen to the ground, interrogate and shoot any remaining members of the Divine Talisman Society who were still alive, and take any of their own people back for treatment if they were still alive.
At the same time, check the situation at the Meijiang Wharf.
The fact that the Divine Symbol Society members are holding this place so tightly means it's not that simple.
Jiang Lang walked around, his brows furrowed slightly, because he couldn't see anything wrong. It seemed to be the same as before. When he sent people to interrogate the surviving members of the Divine Talisman Society, they knew nothing and had no idea why they had to stay here.
Yang Jian had already walked over at this time.
The Meijiang Wharf has been secured, thus fulfilling the plan arranged by Yang Changhui.
Although Yang Changhui's plan included supporting the Yunnan-Guizhou reinforcements, he did not ask them to go and provide assistance when he explained the plan to them.
Because maritime support requires seizing the right opportunity, otherwise it is very likely to bring trouble instead of support. It is better to take over the dock and hold it.
"Second Young Master, I've walked around the area, and I haven't noticed anything wrong with the docks."
"But the people from the Divine Symbol Society are holding out here so tightly, it doesn't seem that simple."
"Second Young Master, come and take a look too. See if we've overlooked anything!"
Jiang Lang saw Yang Jian walking over and went up to him.
The fact that he hadn't noticed anything wrong didn't reassure him; on the contrary, it made him feel vaguely uneasy.
If you find the problem and solve it directly, everything will be fine. But if there are no problems at all, there will always be something wrong no matter how you look at it.
After all, the people of the Divine Talisman Society aren't stupid. Why would they abandon the easily defensible thatched hut area and insist on guarding a dock with a completely disadvantageous terrain?
Could they possibly be planning to prevent the Yunnan reinforcements from docking at the pier? That seems impossible.
The Yunnan reinforcements opened fire directly on the Meijiang River. No matter how many people were stationed there, it would be useless; they would only die in the artillery fire.
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian nodded slightly and walked around the dock.
He was quite familiar with the Meijiang Wharf because he had been there many times. In order to catch the water monkey, he had specifically looked for the location of the lure and the trap, which was the only way to catch the water monkey in one fell swoop.
Yang Jian walked around on the dock; the layout of the place had not changed much.
He even specifically looked for items with red runes, as that's a characteristic of the Red Rune Society, but found none; everything seemed normal.
"Brother Jiang, have someone expand the search again and do a thorough search, including the water, to see if there are any red runes, explosives, or similar items."
Yang Jian walked around, his brows slightly furrowed.
However, he was not reassured and instead instructed Jiang Lang to continue arranging for people to conduct inspections.
Although taking over the Meijiang Wharf completes the mission, the purpose of taking over the wharf is to prevent the Divine Talisman Society from setting a trap there.
Just like the Shenfu Society planted explosives here, waiting for reinforcements from Yunnan to arrive, and so on.
"Okay, I'll have someone expand the area and conduct a thorough inspection."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lang nodded seriously.
The less trace they could find of a trap, the more uneasy they became.
"What on earth is this talisman society up to?"
"Even if they wanted to stop us from bringing people to the river to provide support, they should have focused their attack around the thatched hut area and prevented us from getting close to the dock, instead of prioritizing the dock."
Yang Jian knew very well that if neither side had entered the Meijiang Wharf when the battle started today, but instead fought near the entrance, the situation would definitely still be very tense.
The Divine Symbol Society was not attacked from all sides, which caused them to suffer significant losses from the very beginning.
"If I were a member of the Divine Talisman Society, how could I prevent the forces within the city from sending reinforcements, and how could I prevent the reinforcements from Yunnan Province on the river from arriving?"
Yang Jian took a deep breath, then with a slight thought, switched his identity with that of the Divine Talisman Society.
When you can't understand something from his perspective, try putting yourself in his shoes; you might find some unexpected solutions.
