Captain Zheng asked: "Since this happened half a month ago, why doesn't anyone here know about it? Is it possible that the traders from all over the place have never heard of it?"
City Master He said: "The people in the city don't know because the officials have already ordered a strict seal on the news. Once the news gets out, it will definitely cause panic and the old Qingcheng will be in chaos. If the city is in chaos, it will bring great disaster to the people."
There is an opportunity for the Kingdom of Heaven to take advantage of..."
Seeing the hint of impatience on Captain Zheng's face, City Master He paused in his voice, and then said cautiously: "As for these traders... I have also sent more soldiers outside the city to interrogate. I know everything at this time.
No one was allowed to enter the city, they were all driven away, so...so..."
A disciple of the Mosha Sect said impatiently: "Okay, the two cities are not far apart. Even Lingshan City has been affected. It is impossible for them to deliberately avoid this place. Tell me, has anything unusual happened in the city recently?
."
City Lord He glanced at Captain Zheng and saw that his expression was as usual before he spoke: "There is something strange. In the four corners of the city, several old people suddenly died one after another. Moreover, they were in good health before and were not suffering from serious illnesses.
After the autopsy was performed on the people, it was found that except for one or two inconspicuous wounds, they did not receive any fatal injuries, and they did not die from poisoning, so these people died normally."
There was no disease and no fatal injuries, but he died. I am afraid that the method of killing was not something ordinary people can see.
Someone else asked: "Where is the body?"
City Lord He whispered: "...their family buried them for peace."
After listening to this, Captain Zheng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to several disciples: "Go to my room to gather for discussion."
After saying that, he threw City Lord He aside and led the team away directly.
City Master He looked at the people leaving and suddenly realized that he was covered in cold sweat. He raised his sleeves to wipe them away. When his eyes subconsciously glanced at the gray-clothed servant five steps away, his movements suddenly stopped.
…
The small combat meeting organized by Captain Zheng ended in just a quarter of an hour. Now they have to go back to their respective rooms to recharge their batteries and restore their spiritual power before starting action tomorrow.
The corridor to the guest room is filled with lanterns. Although the light is a little blurry, it does not affect normal walking. Moreover, night vision is a piece of hardware that every monk brings with him. It makes no difference whether there is a light or not.
However, on the way here, she met two maids who insisted on sending her back with lanterns.
In fact, she wanted to say, you two young ladies, the lanterns you are holding cannot illuminate anything clearly.
Maid 1: "This is your duty as a slave."
Maid 2: "It is a blessing for all slaves to have the honor to serve all distinguished guests."
What else could she say? Of course she accepted it.
When he followed the maid into the Moon Gate, Tong Yan suddenly heard some noises, and then looked towards the half-open door in front of him.
"You really think of yourself as a young master. Just because you have a mother from the Great Sky Kingdom, you will be a despicable person in this life, bastard! You still want to eat, bah!"
Then I heard the sound of a porcelain bowl falling to the ground.
The two maids noticed that Tong Yan's footsteps had slowed down and quickly turned to look at her. A voice from outside the door came faintly. The two maids could not hear it clearly, but they just asked very considerately: "Does the guest have something?"
Forgot to take it? Your room is not far ahead. If you forget something, your servant will fetch it for you."
Tong Yan was about to answer, but unexpectedly, the voice spoke again, attracting her attention immediately.
"Pick it up, you still pick it up!" The man's eyes were fierce. His eyes fell on the child's hand that was reaching out to pick up the steamed buns. He was filled with fear and stepped on it hard.
If the child's hand hadn't been pumped so quickly, he would have been trampled under his feet.
"The same surname is He. Our eldest young master gives the dogs bird's nests and shark's fins to eat every day. As for you, you stinky bastard can only fight for food in front of me like a dog."
The child watched the steamed bun being stepped into the soil, and raised his eyes to stare at the person in front of him.
Tong Yan asked the two maids in front of him: "Didn't you hear someone talking over there?"
This time the sound was louder than before, and the two maids naturally heard it. They looked a little unnatural. After looking at each other, one of the maids saluted her: "The new servants in the house don't understand the rules. Night.
How can you make such a loud noise when it’s dark? Guest, please follow Shuangzhi to the guest room to rest first. I’ll go take a look now, and I won’t let them disturb you again.”
Another maid held a lantern and looked at her, vaguely urging her.
Tong Yan nodded and said to Shuangzhi holding the lantern, "Okay, I'm going back to the room. Could you please lead the way."
Shuangzhi immediately walked in front to lead her the way, while the maid who stayed behind watched them leave again, then felt relieved and turned around to go behind the door.
Tong Yan took two steps and glanced at the door for the last time. His drooping right hand moved slowly, and a small spell was generated.
The arrogant servant felt that his calf was suddenly entangled with something, and when he was pulled back, he fell face down to the ground, howling in pain.
Before he could react too much, the maid arrived.
Tong Yan's spiritual consciousness took it back after seeing the maid reprimanding the man. After all, it was other people's family affairs, and there was only so much she could do.
The two maids didn't notice at all, thinking that they had concealed the matter, and happily sent Tong Yan back to her room to wait for her to wash and rest.
I fell asleep and it was already dawn when I woke up.
After washing up, Tong Yan took the magic weapon and prepared to leave the house to complete the tasks assigned to him.
It was neither too early nor too late. When I passed by the lobby, I saw a disciple of the Mosha Sect waiting for me.
Do we need to gather before doing the task?
With such doubts, Tong Yan walked in and asked, "Senior brothers, have you already gone out and come back?"
The disciple closest to the outside glanced at her, then looked back, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
Rarely, Cao Yicheng on the side didn't seem to have even seen her, thinking about his own affairs.
Yang Jifei, the only female cultivator in the team, saw that she was full of energy and had a rosy complexion. She must have had a good rest last night, so she asked curiously: "Did Junior Sister Tong not practice last night?"
"My spiritual power is still sufficient, so I just took a nap. What happened last night?" Tong Yan asked doubtfully after answering.
Yang Jifei frowned and said: "The spiritual energy in this ghost place is too thin. All the senior brothers can only use spiritual stones to continue practicing. But for some unknown reason last night, the other half of the spiritual energy seemed to be sucked away. You have to use your normal hands."
Double the number of spiritual stones is enough."
Seeing the two people talking about this matter, a disciple of the Mosha Sect suddenly said with a solemn expression: "It's not just the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone. Have you noticed that it seems that the spiritual energy in our bodies is also being sucked away bit by bit."
After his reminder, everyone in the lobby checked for abnormalities in their bodies. "The spiritual power in my body does seem to be decreasing a little bit, although it is not very obvious."
Cao Yicheng: "There is nothing strange about my spiritual power."
Yang Jifei: "I didn't feel anything strange in my spiritual power."
Tong Yan also shook his head, saying no.
There are five people in the lobby, three are normal and two are. Is there any pattern to this, or is it just an accident?
Tong Yan looked around, then remembered that he didn't see the captain, so he asked, "By the way, why didn't you see Senior Brother Zheng?"
At this moment, Cao Yicheng seemed to have remembered his mission again. He glanced at her and mocked: "Senior Brother Zheng naturally has his own things to do. Not everyone treats training as a game like you and sleeps until dawn.
."
Tong Yan: Pretend I have never said this before.
Yang Jifei really liked this petite and cute little sister in the team, so she told her: "Senior Brother Zheng and the others have been out of the house for half an hour. He said that there may be something strange in this city. You and I are the lowest in the team, so we should go together."
Go to the west of the city to investigate."
Yang Jifei is in the middle stage of foundation building. There are at least three people in the team with this level of cultivation. It is not easy to tell who is lower and who is higher.
Why did she say that? Because Cao Yicheng was supposed to be with Tong Yan, but he didn't want to, so he was replaced by Yang Jifei.
Tong Yan didn't know what happened before, so he just smiled and nodded to his new teammates as a greeting.
Even if she had to choose, she would rather have this beautiful young lady with a full smile than the terrible Cao Yicheng.
