The city lord's palace once again convened the leaders of each sect for discussion. At the meeting, they were given the talismans provided by Wuji Mountain. The capable sects could copy more talismans after they returned.
Small sects that cannot make their own talismans can also obtain talismans from large sects for free to protect their disciples.
In addition, sects that have good relations with each other have also united to jointly resist unknown dangers. Those sects that are alone have also joined in the alliance under the arrangement of Lord Nangong to look after each other.
Even after making so many arrangements, Nangong City Lord was still worried. He had no idea how the enemies lurking in the dark used to peel off the spiritual roots.
A group of monks supported by Xianyuan Mountain have already arrived, and they are still investigating. What they are most worried about is that more tragedies will occur during the investigation period.
Most people in the world are irrational. Although the current incident is not Huayue City's fault, many people are already angry with Huayue City in their hearts, but they have not spoken out.
This is a big blow to the reputation of Huayue City, and he cannot let many talents from Liuzhou Realm be lost in Huayue City. In this case, he will be a sinner through the ages.
"Dad, I have interrogated the Gu family. They said that a few months ago, they suddenly heard an oracle and gave them the secret method to deprive their spiritual roots."
Nangong Yan, the daughter of the city lord, came to the study where her father was handling official business and reported her progress to her father.
Nangong Yan wore a loose lake blue brocade robe, which was very simple to tighten around her waist with a brocade belt.
Tang Yue understood that her identity here was that of a married woman.
"The Gu family said that God promised to replace their family members with better spiritual roots. After inspection by our medical officer, it was found that the children of the head of the Gu family, as well as several of his nephews, had indeed received high-grade single spiritual roots.
"
Nangong Jing became happy, "Sister, I understand, I will definitely not go to dangerous places."
Nangong Changfeng laughed, "The ladies of the Gu family didn't know that their elders were depriving others of their spiritual roots. How did they know that Qi Ruowei was involved? I think it's just the jealousy of the women in the backyard."
The man asked Tang Yue: "What did madam do at home today?"
A little girl with combed hair came forward and asked, "Why don't you drink it, madam? Is this tea not to your liking?"
"The head of the Gu family said that the oracle told them that although people are born with spiritual roots, some people have done evil things and are not worthy of having such spiritual roots at all, so he asked them to do justice for heaven and take away these people's spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots are then re-given by God to those kind-hearted people without spiritual roots."
"What benefits will the Gu family get from this matter?" He didn't believe that the Gu family would work so hard as executioners just by listening to some "oracle".
"They said that after depriving the spiritual roots, they would put them on an altar. After a while, the gods would take away the spiritual roots. We did find an altar made of stones in the Gu family's residence. The head of the Gu family said
, I killed those people because I was worried that their departure would reveal the evil deeds of the Gu family."
"Madam, if you feel bored, how about I take you to the night market?"
Nangong Yan also thought this incident was ridiculous, but she still reported it to her father truthfully.
Nangong Yan asked: "Are we going to let Qi Ruowei go?"
While she was talking, she wanted to use her spiritual energy to detect this place, but found that she could not use her spiritual energy, but she did not panic.
When she was about to speak, the door was gently pushed open, and a majestic man wearing an indigo cloak walked in.
"Did they say what kind of god it was?"
From ancient times to the present, in the world of immortality, only those with spiritual roots can practice. Those without spiritual roots are not destined to the great path. If you can seize other people's spiritual roots and make them your own, then countless such evil deeds will occur in the world.
"What did the Gu family say? Does she know?"
There were several serving maids beside Tang Yue. They were wearing similar light green clothes. At first glance, they looked like little maids.
Unless a big family guarantees her and proves her innocence, it is possible to let her go. Otherwise, she will have no choice but to join the Gu family in punishing her.
The room is lit with exquisite lamps, and is furnished with tables, chairs and benches made of fine rosewood, as well as exquisite screens, embroidered pillars, and piano tables. It is the living room of a wealthy family.
"The head of the Gu family and the young master of the Gu family said that she was unaware of it, but the ladies of the Gu family said that she was aware of it and that she was an accomplice."
"My daughter will step up the investigation."
The city lord frowned, "Then where did they put the stripped spiritual roots? And why did they hurt the lives of these monks?"
Seeing that her brother listened to her words, Nangong Yan left. She just told Uncle Ming that although her brother was naive, he was still very obedient.
Nangong Changfeng couldn't help but patted the table, "That's ridiculous. What kind of oracle would make people seize spiritual roots?"
"The Gu family said that the oracle told them that this girl was the daughter of destiny and was here to help them, so they wanted to take her into their family. So the Gu family exchanged their spiritual roots, taught her martial arts, and accepted her as the adopted daughter of the Gu family.
Qi Ruowei’s confession is that she did not know that the Gu family was kidnapping people and depriving them of their spiritual roots. She only helped the Gu family spread Taoism and invited people into the Taoist temple to watch."
"By the way, Young Master Long keeps asking me about Qi Ruowei. What happened to her? She is obviously a person from the mortal world, how could she be involved in the affairs of the Gu family?"
"Sister, can't I go out during the day? I will take Uncle Ming with me, and I can also bring some guards."
"It still doesn't work. Although she may be innocent, no matter how many other monks there are, she must be punished for dragging people into the dojo. I can't go against the wishes of many monks."
"My daughter knows."
The person who was deprived of her spiritual roots was poisoned while sleeping and meditating. Before entering this illusion, she was meditating. In other words, this place was an illusion that emerged from her consciousness while she was meditating.
Nangong Yan agreed to her father, bowed and left. After leaving the meeting hall, she walked to her brother's living yard and told him not to run around. The monks in the city who had stripped him of his spiritual roots had not yet been caught.
"It should be possible during the day, but you have to promise me not to go to places where there are not many people, and not to meet with people in private. It is best to do it in public."
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help him take off his cloak and offered him tea to rinse his mouth with.
She felt that the villains should not attack the young master of the City Lord's Mansion in public, and Huayue City would no longer be able to function. At that level, everyone would be in danger, and every house would be closed.
Since this is her consciousness, it is controlled by her. She just has to slowly explore and find a way to control it.
The maid had a delicate face and a respectful expression. A maid gently poured a cup of scented tea for Tang Yue. Tang Yue only smelled it. The fragrance of the flowers was refreshing, and she was sure that she had a sense of smell at this time, but she did not intend to drink it.
Nangong Jing was a little unhappy. He wanted to go to Yu Ning Tower to find Tang Shimei and show her the customs and customs of Huayue City.
"This is the strangest thing. The Gu family seems to have only heard sounds and never seen this god."
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Nothing to do, I just read a book, embroider and pass the time."
"There is such an evil law in the world. We must investigate this matter clearly, otherwise countless monks will be deprived of their spiritual roots and a great chaos will occur."
"You go ahead and do your work. By the way, you also need to keep an eye on your brother. He's been in so much danger lately, so don't let him run around."
At night, Tang Yue was meditating on the bed, breathing in and out, and suddenly felt that he was in an elegant women's boudoir.
Ever since the Gu family case occurred, she had been helping her father take care of his worries and was responsible for the investigation. She had no time to think about clothes.
"Okay, I like to watch the juggling stalls at the night market. I wonder if there is a new team coming."
"Recently, a new juggling class came to the city. There is a girl in it who can dance on the palms of her hands, which is very clever."
"Then I'm going to take a look. By the way, husband, what is the name of our city?"
The man paused suddenly, his face a little sluggish, and after a while he replied: "It seems that Madam is going to take the husband's exam. We are here in Tianfeng City."
