It has been more than a month since the evil spirit incident. Even though Huayang Sect disciples have set up protection for the people of Chengzhou, the ghost cries every night still make people uneasy.
When life was still dying, even if there was peace during the day, the people of Chengzhou were still in panic. As time went by, they naturally lost the idea of doing anything.
There are only a few inns open on the whole street. Near these inns, there are occasionally one or two vegetable vendors or butchers. In addition, the entire Chengzhou is closed, and occasionally the cry of a child comes from the street. If it was heard in the house, the parents would immediately stop it.
Shen Yi drove his flying sword and flew into Chengzhou unimpeded, but he never imagined that it would be such a deserted scene.
The effect of Immortal's Visit to the City is no longer there.
Fortunately, Shen Yi is not obsessed with setting up characters. This high profile, in addition to wanting the common people to feel reassured, is mainly to let interested people know that someone from the sect is here again.
However, Shen Yi firmly remembered Jiuze's advice: keep flying until some people see him.
So Shen Yi flew slowly and low in the city with his flying sword.
After flying for a while, Shen Yi felt at ease because there was no one on the street. Just thinking about it, a shout of surprise and excitement almost burst Shen Yi's eardrums: "Immortal! An immortal is here." !”
Shen Yi hurriedly adjusted himself, stood firm on the flying sword, showed his momentum, and silently raised his height, where the people could see his face clearly but could not touch the flying sword.
I saw that the person in front of me was a vegetable vendor. Although the clothes were washed clean, they were obviously not starched. They were wrinkled and had many holes. They were as desolate as the city.
"Immortal!" The vegetable vendor was originally squatting in front of the vegetable stall. When he saw Shen Yi, he immediately stood up, walked a few steps closer to Shen Yi, knelt down again with a "pop", raised his head, and already had tears streaming down his face.
"Immortal, please save us, save us!"
At this time, the originally closed doors and windows were opened one after another, and people from the nearby inn were also coming out one after another. When they saw that someone was coming "from the sky", they were immediately surprised and happy. They pushed the door open one after another, fell to the ground, and followed the dishes. He cried for help: "Save us, Immortal Chief, save us!"
"Chief Immortal, save us, save us!"
Almost everyone shouted the same thing.
Save us.
Thousands of the same words, one after another, converge into one emotion, sadness but also hope.
Shen Yi looked into the distance, but within a moment, people were kneeling a few streets away. They might not be able to see Shen Yi, but they were all kneeling in his direction.
He couldn't help but be moved by this situation.
From this moment on, the Chengzhou evil spirit incident was no longer a task for Shen Yi. He understood that he and they had become the hope of the people of Chengzhou City.
Shen Yi stepped down from the flying sword, stood among the prostrate people, and used his spiritual power to transmit his voice: "Everyone, please wake up. I am here this time to solve the evil spirit incident. Don't worry, I will not let everyone Disappointed."
Waves of cheers came from the people, and when many people raised their heads, they were crying with joy.
"Everyone, get up first." Seeing that the crowd was motionless, he said quietly.
Seeing that the crowd was still motionless, Shen Yi sighed in his heart, mounted the flying sword again, and flew towards the city lord's mansion, which had kept its door tightly closed.
In the backlight, Shen Yi's white clothes were dyed with a dim halo. Looking from behind, he could see this handsome young man with an uplifted figure, dressed in white, with a flying sword on his feet, heading towards the sun.
When Jiu Ze and Tian Yun came over, they saw this scene.
Qian Yun looked at Shen Yi's back and narrowed his eyes.
When Jiuze saw this, he whispered: "Stop thinking about it. It's too superficial to only focus on appearance."
Qian Yun snorted coldly.
Nonsense, what he focuses on is his figure!
The people around him didn't stand up excitedly until they could no longer hear the sound of flying swords piercing the air.
Only then did I notice Jiu Ze and Tian Yun, who were all gorgeously dressed. Looking behind them, they saw that not far away was the direction of the city gate.
As early as a few days after the accident, everyone had clearly identified the people in the Chengzhou City Inn.
Since the incident, no one has been willing to set foot in Chengzhou, but Jiuze and Tianyun have obviously just arrived.
As if they didn't expect anyone to come to Chengzhou at this time, many people were staring at Jiuze and Tianyun.
However, perhaps because of Shen Yi's arrival, the people here felt much more relaxed. These people just looked at each other and dispersed, with obvious joy on their faces.
Jiuze and Tianyun also entered the inn nearby as if they were nothing.
Before coming, Tian Yun used his spiritual power to temporarily seal several blood orifices. Now he looks pale, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness.
The waiter in the shop was very polite: "Are you two going to be top-notch or stay in the hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel," Jiuze helped the "weak" Kanyun sit down at a table and said, "First serve us two side dishes."
"Okay, wait a moment, you two!"
Khotan quickly said in a weak voice: "Wait a minute!"
The waiter and Jiuze looked at Kanyun at the same time, and Kanyun gave a pale smile and pointed at Jiuze: "Give her some side dishes and rice, and give me a bowl of chopped green onion noodles."
The waiter left in response.
Jiu Ze looked at Tian Yun suspiciously and whispered: "Scallion noodles? Are you sure? I won't share it with you for a while."
Khotan glared at Jiuze and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Light body!"
Jiu Ze raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
Having said that, he began to think about this incident.
During this evil spirit incident, the fellow sect member who left midway returned to Chengzhou to look for the missing people, but was severely damaged. He did not return to the sect until a few days ago and is still recovering in seclusion within the sect.
Only then did the sect reveal the mission again.
If this fellow disciple was hit hard while tracking down missing persons, then this fellow disciple might have found important clues, but why didn’t he mention it at all in the jade slips?
"Severe injuries, seclusion, evil spirits, missing people, missing information..." Jiuze pondered in his mind, trying to string these together.
"The dishes are here..." The waiter's melodious voice sounded in front of Jiu Ze. Jiu Ze raised her eyes and saw the waiter placing two plates of meat and vegetables in front of her: "Objective, please take your time."
Jiuze nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and as if he remembered something, said to the waiter: "Wait a minute."
"What else do you have to say objectively?" the waiter bowed and asked.
"You don't have to be so polite," Jiuze said, "I want to ask you something."
Waiter: "Say."
Jiuze said: "I just saw you all kneeling down to worship a man who is stepping on a sword. Is that man an immortal?"
The waiter in the shop hurriedly said: "That is the Immortal Chief, and he is here to help us. Don't call him Immortal, call him Immortal Chief."
Jiu Ze raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
The waiter said: "This is what the immortal said before. Let's not call him an immortal because he can't bear it. Tell me, what is there that you can't bear? Someone who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth is an immortal, isn't it?"
After hearing this, Tianyun laughed and quickly swallowed the chopped green onion noodles in his mouth.
Jiuze glanced at Tianyun and then looked at the waiter: "You just said that the immortal chief is here to help you. What are you helping?"
The waiter looked outside and saw that it was not dark yet, so he said, "I'm not telling you, you can't leave anyway."
Jiuze was immediately on guard, with a calm expression on his face, but slightly surprised: "Why can't we leave? We are just passing by to spend the night."
The waiter looked at them sympathetically and said: "Girl, you don't know, for the past month and a half, we have been here and can't leave. We can come in, but we can't leave the city gate at all. Except for the immortal chief last time,
No one has stepped out to have a bone anymore. You too, didn’t ask when you came here what you were doing in Chengzhou.”
Jiuze smiled helplessly, looked at Tianyun and said, "Brother is injured and wants to find a good place with beautiful scenery to recuperate."
Saying this, Jiu Ze's eyes turned a little red.
When the waiter saw it, he couldn't bear it, but thinking about the situation in Chengzhou, he couldn't help but said: "In that case, why don't you go home?"
Tianyun smiled and said, "Hey, you are a man in the world, traveling all over the world, where can you find your home?"
The pale smile and helpless eyes made the waiter feel sad. He hurriedly reassured: "Actually, it's nothing. Speaking of which, you are quite lucky. Aren't you thinking that you are a fairy again?"
Qian Yun asked weakly: "But the immortal chief didn't solve the problem before, right? Why do you still trust him this time?"
This time, the waiter was silent. After a moment, he smiled, and his smile was full of bitterness: "Who else can I trust? The city lord? The door of the city lord's mansion has not been opened since the incident."
Jiuze heard this and looked at each other with Tianyun. According to the jade slip, the lord of Chengzhou City should not be such an irresponsible person.
Tianyun sighed and continued weakly: "Since the immortal is here, everything will be fine. I just don't know what happened in Chengzhou?"
The waiter also calmed down. There were no other customers in the store at this time, so he simply started chatting with Jiu Ze and the other two.
"One and a half months ago, on the 12th of last month, that day was the scariest day in my memory..."
