Chapter 44: The Siege
"What else can I do? In my dreams, I tried to do bad things again, some people are laughing if they succeed, and some people are scared if they don't succeed!" Zang Daiyan rolled her eyes, she didn't understand such a simple truth. "It has nothing to do with the death of these people!" "There used to be a story in our hometown. Qi Xuan suddenly told the story, which confused the people present, but no one interrupted Qi Xuan when they saw her talking.
"The story says that there was a scholar who went to catch the exam, passed by a desolate temple, and met a beautiful girl, who was deeply attracted by the girl, but when he wanted to develop further with the girl, the girl asked the scholar to leave her and leave the temple. The scholar didn't know why.,Just about to ask, the girl hid the scholar.,It turned out that someone was coming.。 ”
"Who's here?" Jiang Caiyi asked.
"The one who came is a tree demon entrenched here, it has been practicing for thousands of years, it controls all the lonely souls and wild ghosts on the nearby mountains, and allows these lonely souls and wild ghosts to lure pedestrians on the road and absorb the essence of people for it to cultivate. ”
"The girl is not a human, it's a ghost?!" Jiang Caiyi guessed with interest.
"Yes. The girl is not a human, but a lonely ghost controlled by the dryad. ”
"What does this story have to do with what happened here?" Zang Daiyan felt that the two had nothing to do with each other. "These people don't look like they've been sucked in essence, but if they're sucked up, it's not like that. ”
"Just listen to Qi Xuan. Jiang Caiyi looked trusting.
Qi Xuan bowed slightly, and continued: "It's not related, but the essence is the same, it's not that you can't see it, you haven't taken anything, these people died in their sleep, in the dream, they are either in pain, or in pleasure, it is not a dream created by themselves, if someone deliberately created a dream and then unknowingly ingested these people's cultivation and longevity in the dream, can you see it?"
Qi Xuan had just investigated the bodies of these people without illness and pain, but his expression was so strange, so he had this thought, after all, nothing can be for no reason, and if a monk dies, all the immortal qi condensed in his dantian will also dissipate with death.
As for Shou Yuan, this kind of thing is too ethereal for ordinary people to see at all, but Qi Xuan is different, he has been the executive envoy of the Taiyin Division, and her husband is the master of the Taiyin Division.
Qi Xuan naturally saw at a glance whether this person's life was not exhausted or had been exhausted, and the person whose life was about to expire could be seen from his face that this kind of death was a little bit of accumulation, and it must take years of precipitation, even if this person had a small life expectancy, he would die suddenly, and he would give a reasonable answer from the perspective of heaven, but these people did not have such signs, naturally these people's longevity was not all gone in this time period by such a coincidence, there was only one answer, someone took away their longevity.
"Are you saying that someone took away their Shouyuan in a dream?" This time even Zang Daiyan was surprised, she was the hall master of the Dan Palace, so she was naturally able to distinguish the possibility that Qi Xuan said.
She originally felt suspicious, but she didn't think much about it, after all, the owner asked her to investigate, and she didn't pay much attention to it, so she went through a scene, but she could really find out, of course she was willing to check the murderer, after all, she also had a family living here.
If it's really all man-made, then this person is terrible.
"You say that, I remember one thing. Suddenly, the elder of the outer gate spoke.
"What's the matter?" Zang Daiyan turned her head away.
"There are some special existences among the demon beasts, I have seen in the relevant records, there is a kind of demon beast called the Nightmare Beast, this kind of demon beast will devour other people's longevity and cultivation through dreams to achieve the purpose of strengthening itself. ”
"What? there are still such demon beasts?" Zang Daiyan's eyes widened, and Jiang Caiyi also had a thoughtful expression.
"Speaking of this, I also remembered, grandpa said that there was a place, the nightmare beast devoured the entire town, and it was also the place where the Xiuxian sect guarded, and then the Xiuxian sect investigated and found that soon even the Xiuxian sect was devoured by the already strong nightmare beast, at first they were still very weak, but the place where the nightmare beast appeared was undoubtedly a nightmare, if the nightmare beast was not found, the entire sect would face annihilation. ”
"You, don't be alarmist, why have I never heard of such a thing?" Zang Daiyan's eyes flickered, although she was still tough on her lips, but she was already completely panicked in her heart.
"Hall Master, I think this matter should be reported to the door master as soon as possible, if there is a nightmare beast, it will be really terrible. "If it's a Nightmare Beast, it will soon spread to the entire sect.
"I don't think you should scare yourselves here, what if it has nothing to do with the Nightmare Beast? Zang Daiyan pointed at Qi Xuan and Jiang Caiyi fiercely.
"We're not your people. ”
"You are from Kunyang Sect, and if you are a member of the sect, you must listen to me. Zang Daiyan glanced at the two outer door elders, and all of a sudden, several elders surrounded Qi Xuan and Jiang Caiyi.
Three to one, if the strength is equal, Qi Xuan and Jiang Caiyi do not have the strength to fight.
The two were imprisoned, the room where they were held was sealed, and now there was no way for the two of them to pass on the news to the outside world.
"I said, what are you so excited about? Now, we're all locked up. Qi Xuan glanced at Jiang Caiyi.
"Where did I think she would really dare to do this? This little smashes it, see if I go out and don't clean her up! She won't be controlled by the Nightmare Beast, right?" Jiang Caiyi's mind widened.
"You think too much, it's impossible to be controlled by the Nightmare Beast, at most you want more than less. ”
"Those outer sect elders also spoke just now, she won't not be incomprehensible!" "Just now, even the outer gate elders said that the Nightmare Beast was very dangerous, and she had already made it clear that there was once a sect that was swallowed by the Nightmare Beast.
"If something really happens, there are two of us cannon fodder, what is she afraid of!" The most important purpose of arresting them is to treat them as cannon fodder, not in vain.
"What should I do then?" Jiang Caiyi suddenly became anxious.
"Cold salad. "For the time being, Qi Xuan can't think of any good way, of course, it's not that there is no way, Qi Sha and the others will definitely find out about their disappearance, if Qi Sha is smarter, he can guess that something happened to them. Now Qi Xuan can only hope that Changkunmen will know that they are trapped. came to the rescue, but in this way, the hall master of Changkun Gate would completely tear his face with Wei Longdan.
When Qi Sha came back, he knew that Qi Xuan had come.
"When did your aunt go out?Did you say what you went out for?" Qi Sha saw that Qi Xuan would not come to ask so late, there have been many deaths in the town recently, so Qi Sha is naturally worried.
