Chapter 15 Make up your mind to get rid of the evil trouble
"The cries I heard outside the town earlier were probably them."
"Why did the old devil sacrifice blood to everyone but left them alone?"
"Huh?"
Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved, he held the girl's wrist, and soon showed a hint of surprise.
He could clearly feel that this girl turned out to have the two spiritual roots of fire and wood. The cultivation speed of this kind of symbiotic spiritual root was even stronger than the ordinary two spiritual roots, which was already considered extremely rare.
"It turns out that there are two spiritual roots. No wonder the demon massacred the entire Pingyuan Town, but he did not kill them."
"Since she has the second spirit root, what about this one?"
Chen Nianzhi looked at Chen Ling with a hint of expectation. Twins conceived at the same time often have similar talents.
Thinking of this, he quickly tested the boy's spiritual roots, and sure enough he found that he had dual spiritual roots of fire and gold in his body.
After finding a pair of spiritual roots, Chen Nianzhi did not wait long. He simply checked the town and confirmed that there were no other living people, and then immediately took the child to Pingyang County.
As for the corpses in Pingyuan Town, because there were too many, he could only ask Pingyang County to arrange people to deal with them.
When he returned to Pingyang County, he told everyone the news as soon as possible, and a few days later the monks from the Chen family passed back the investigation results.
It turns out that as early as a few years ago, the demonic cultivator hid his identity in Pingyuan Town. After gaining trust, he attacked the monks of the Chen family who were in charge of the formation in Pingyuan Town. This led to such a disaster.
"Damn demon cultivator, so cunning."
"It's so hard to get rid of the hatred in your heart even if you're cut into pieces with a thousand cuts?"
After hearing this, Chen Nianyang couldn't help but said angrily.
The great elder waved his hand, looked at the dozen monks present, shook his head and said.
"The catastrophe has been caused, and it is too late to say this now."
"I sent an order to all major cities and towns to start counting the population from today, and any new faces will be strictly investigated."
"For anyone who is not of the Chen family's blood, the identity must be verified repeatedly, and for the ethnic groups in the city, we must also be on guard against evil spirits."
"We must avoid making the same mistakes again..."
After explaining all this, Chen Qingxu looked at Chen Nianzhi again: "When you return to Qingyuan Mountain, ask the third elder to send more people over."
"Okay."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, the demon cultivator's sins were so great that this time a whole town's creatures were sacrificed to blood, it was really tragic.
In order to avoid such a tragedy from happening again, he decided to report the situation to the clan leader immediately after returning to Qingyuan Mountain, and then convened a meeting of elders to re-formulate a strategy against demonic cultivators and arrange to investigate mortals one by one.
Nowadays, the number of mortal descendants of the Chen Clan is close to 200,000. It would be a very heavy workload to investigate them one by one.
There are only about twenty monks here in Pingyang City. Now they not only have to guard the city, but also investigate the hidden magic cultivators. There are not enough manpower at all. I am afraid that we need to mobilize manpower from Qingyuan Mountain.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi cupped his hands and said, "It won't be too late, I'll leave later."
"There's no rush." The great elder held up his long beard and said, "Now that the demon cultivator has been slain by you, you won't have to waste the effort of a day or two."
"You have been testing your spiritual roots for days, and you have had a big battle with a demon cultivator. It has consumed a lot of your mental energy and mana. Why not take a rest today and take a few children who have tested their spiritual roots back to Qingyuan Mountain tomorrow?" p>
When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he nodded: "That's fine."
Early the next morning, Chen Nianzhi took the five children whose spiritual roots had been tested and walked to Qingyuan Mountain.
It only took him two days to arrive, but this time he took five children with him, so it took him seven or eight days to reach Qingyuan Mountain.
As soon as he returned to Qingyuan Mountain, he immediately went to Lingquan of Back Mountain, where he met the clan leader Chen Changxuan.
As an eldest monk, the old patriarch is now over 110 years old. Compared with the 200-year-old longevity of the foundation-building monks, he is still very young.
It stands to reason that given his longevity, there is still some possibility of breaking through the Zi Mansion, but he was besieged two years ago and his muscles and veins have been injured. Now the road is becoming more complicated and confusing.
Chen Nianzhi looked at the old patriarch and sighed secretly.
He knew that even if the old patriarch recovered from his injuries, given the current situation of the family, he would not be able to support him in purchasing the resources to break through the Zi Mansion.
This is also a bad fate. In fact, when the Chen Clan was at its peak sixty years ago, it was capable of supporting a monk to break through the Zi Mansion.
At that time, the Chen family not only had several foundation-building monks, but the then patriarch was also a great foundation-building monk. At that time, the Chen family had spent hundreds of years of accumulation and purchased a heavenly material and earthly treasure to assist in breaking through the Zi Mansion.
Purple Yang Jade.
If the leader of the clan at that time had succeeded in breaking through, then the current Chen Clan would probably be the famous Zifu Clan in the Chu Kingdom.
Unfortunately, during the Monster Rebellion sixty years ago, the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan must have been plotted against. Almost all of the Chen Clan's monks, including the clan leaders of that generation, who participated in the battle were lost, and even the Purple Sun Jade was missing. p>
"Ahem."
When the old patriarch saw Chen Nianzhi, his pale face turned slightly red.
He coughed, hid a trace of sadness in his eyes, and showed a rare warm smile.
"Nianzhi, why did you come to see me this time?"
"I came back this time because my family encountered a calamity."
Chen Nianzhi reacted, and after pondering for a while, he narrated what happened in Pingyuan Town.
After Chen Changxuan heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
"These devil bastards are getting more and more outrageous."
"Do you really think that everyone in my Chen family can't succeed?"
Seeing the old patriarch's anger growing, Chen Nianzhi was worried that he might be injured, so he quickly comforted him:
"Uncle, there is no need to be angry."
"Now that the evil spirit has been defeated, it is useless to be angry again."
When the old patriarch heard this, he calmed down his emotions a little and said with a solemn expression.
"Qingxu is right. The top priority now is to prevent this from happening again."
"Demon cultivators are pervasive. I'm afraid there is more than one demon cultivator hiding in Pingyang County, and they are best at infiltrating and hiding."
"Now that I am seriously injured, I cannot take action easily. In order to avoid a recurrence of the disaster, I need you to use thunderbolt means to remove the hidden dangers in the family."
Chen Nianzhi nodded: "I have already made plans for this matter."
"I will convene a meeting of elders later and arrange personnel to investigate the mortals in Pingyang County. Once the evil spirits are found, there will be no mercy."
"Okay." The old patriarch said happily: "Several elders in the clan are all mature and mature people. You should discuss this matter with the elders and put safety first."
"..."
After leaving Lingquan, Chen Nianzhi immediately held a meeting of elders.
The first elder was in Pingyang County, and the second elder went to Yuyangfang City after celebrating the New Year.
Apart from Chen Nianzhi, the only other people present at this family meeting were the third elder, the fourth elder, and the fifth elder.
A group of four people were sitting in the clan treasure hall. Chen Nianzhi glanced at the position of the sixth elder. The third elder saw his expression and said with some seriousness.
"After the New Year, Qingmeng closed his eyes to death."
