Chapter 337: The City of Weeping
The red note just wanted to find a Jindan monk to ask in detail.
The man saw the red note and Shi Qingxiang walking towards him, and hurriedly put the person into the pill shop behind him, and said, "The small shop is shallow and narrow, and the environment inside is simple, but it is always a place to talk, and the two of you have a lot of tolerance." ”
Shi Qingxiang said strangely: "Where is it simple, the shops in this whole street are the highest and largest of you." ”
The man was choked by Shi Qingxiang's words, the red note looked up at his shop, and couldn't help but smile slightly, the shallow and simple Yunyun was obviously self-humble, and Shi Qingxiang was so obedient and serious.
This person's elixir shop is three stories high, and the shop is large, and there are four Qi cultivation apprentices busy on the bottom floor, standing out from the crowd on this street.
It's no wonder that the world of scattered cultivation is the most predatory, he is a golden pill, and his cultivation is superior, so he can keep such an industry......
The red note turned his eyes on the gold-lettered signboard of the shop, then looked at the monk, and nodded with a smile: "It turned out to be the senior brother of the Mingchuan Sect, it is really disrespectful." ”
She didn't pay attention just now, there was a mark of the Mingchuan Sect on the signboard, it seemed that the Mingchuan Sect attached great importance to the Spirit Grass Demon Pill produced in this snow field, and even directly sent a Jin Dan to sit in the town.
The man was stunned when he heard the title of red note, showed a cautious look, and said, "I am from the Mingchuan Sect, I don't know if the two of you are ......."
He intuitively met the people of the big sects, during this period of time, the Fu Tu Sect was destroyed, Ji Youyun came back, the Dao Cultivation Continent was in turmoil, and the situation was changing rapidly, even if he was in this poor mountain and remote place, he needed to be cautious when he met monks from other sects.
The Mingchuan Sect is now an ally, but the red note does not intend to recognize the monk in front of him, and only says: "We are from a small sect, and the senior brother is afraid that he has not heard of it." ”
There are thousands of small and medium-sized sects in Taoist cultivation, and it is indeed impossible for that person to know the Dao, so that the senior brother of the red note seems to be a little high, but the person does not care. It was like a sigh of relief.
The pill shop was full of dazzling colors, and there were all kinds of pills, and as the red note thought, most of the place on the first floor was dedicated to purchasing various spiritual grass materials from the scattered cultivators.
At this time, there were still six or seven customers in the shop, and they also cast strange glances at the red note.
The monk of the Mingchuan Sect let the two of them sit on the second floor, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "The surname is Pu, the name is used, I don't know what the two of you call it?" ”
The red note deliberately made up two fake names, but he was afraid that Shi Qingxiang would honestly debunk them. She glanced at Shi Qingxiang, but saw that the kid didn't squint, and sat precariously and didn't know what he was thinking.
She hesitated, Pu Zhi understood that the other party had scruples, and said with a smile: "It's okay if it's inconvenient to say, let me tell you about the situation in this city with the two of you, presumably you just came, and you are puzzled." ”
In the past half a day, the red note had almost been pieced together from many monks, but she still wanted to hear what the monk of the Mingchuan Sect had to say.
Pu Zhiyong said: "The two of you came into the city." Can you find that there are very few female cultivators here, and there is almost no trace of young and beautiful women? ”
Shi Qingxiang said dissatisfiedly: "So those people keep staring at her? What about your nuns here? ”
Pu Zhi smiled bitterly: "This situation has been going on for several days. You know that in a place like Baiyuan, if there are one or two people less, no one will pay attention at all. It wasn't until three years ago that a monk who had lost his daughter begged me to come to me, and I asked someone to check it, and I found that in the past twenty or thirty years, there had been a shortage of fifty or sixty young nuns in the city. At that time, I was afraid of causing panic among everyone, so I hid the news and secretly went to investigate the matter. I searched and searched, but there was no result. ”
Hongjian's expression couldn't help but become solemn, she only knew that there were nuns who disappeared inexplicably, but she didn't know that there would be so many people, too, if it wasn't for this, how could she scare away the nuns in a city.
Pu Zhiyong continued: "In a few months, someone will lose his wife and daughter. Gradually, there were more and more people who knew about it, until two months ago, fifteen female cultivators were lost in the city within three days, and this time they couldn't hide it anymore, not only did the female cultivators run clean, but even the male cultivators left a lot, and the number of monks in Baiyuan City decreased sharply, leaving these 1,800 people, but because the bodies of those female cultivators have not been found, everyone still holds the hope that one day they can find people back. ”
The red note said: "I see. Haven't you thought about uniting everyone to take some action, or asking the sect for help? ”
Pu Zhiyong sighed and said: "If it was such a big trouble in the early years, I could naturally report to the sect and ask the sect master to send someone, but now that the Dao cultivation continent is in chaos like this, the sect has more important things to do, how can I have the energy to invest in this small Baiyuan City." Maybe they'll tell me to get out of here. As for ourselves, we have also gathered people before, but they have all returned in vain. Last month, a few lay monks volunteered to help, but they were nowhere to be found. ”
The red note looked at the other party, and said for a long time: "I understand, thank you for the reminder." ”
Pu Zhi used the last few words to be vague, the few people who helped were the same as those missing female cultivators, who were kidnapped by thieves, and the other party kidnapped them for the purpose of demonstrating, most of these people have lost their lives, Pu Zhi concealed this section because he was afraid that he would scare the red note away directly when he said it.
He specifically told himself what he was trying to do.
Pu Zhiyong shook his head and sighed: "Ji Youyun has been promoted to a god, how many ghosts and spirits in the Dao Cultivation Continent are about to jump out and make trouble." ”
With so many lives at stake, Hongzhi didn't want to use ink with Pu Zhi anymore, and said directly: "I don't know how I can help?" ”
Pu Zhiyong breathed a sigh of relief, he waved his hand to set an enchantment around the three of them, and pleaded cautiously: "If the girl is building a foundation, I don't dare to open this mouth, for so many years, there has never been a Jindan stage female cultivator in Baiyuan City, can you stay in Baiyuan City for a few more days, there are still a few Jindan in the city, I and they are guarding in secret, and we will definitely protect your safety." ”
The red note understood: "You want to ask me to be a bait to lure out the person who did this?" ”
Pu Zhiyong was a little embarrassed, he really meant that. Although the environment of Baiyuan City is poor, but after a long time, he has also lived out his feelings, and he is quite reluctant to give up, and he is a dignified Jindan in the later stage, and his strength is above everyone, but this happened in the city, but he was powerless, and he was really unwilling.
This time, a Jindan period female cultivator fell from the sky, which is really a treasure for Pu Zhiyong. He was afraid that the red note would not agree, so he hurriedly said: "As soon as this matter has a result, I will present the sect, and in addition, we in Baiyuan City will not let the girl take risks in vain, and we should be grateful." ”
If the red paper is cultivated to only have a golden pill, then this is indeed a risky thing.
She nodded to Pu Zhiyong and said, "Thank you or not, we don't need to say it, we should try our best to help, Your Excellency allows me and my companion to discuss it first." Saying that, she cast an enchantment and isolated herself and Shi Qingxiang alone.
Pu Zhiyong breathed a sigh of relief, the other party had agreed to cooperate, and as for discussing with his companions, it was also the right thing to do, but after sitting down for so long, he could already see that something was wrong with Shi Qingxiang, and he didn't understand what else the female cultivator and a stupid boy had to discuss.
In the enchantment, Shi Qingxiang spoke first: "I don't like it here. Kill the bad guys, let's go. ”
The red note was to see that Shi Qingxiang was dissatisfied with the resistance of the monk of Baiyuan City, and wanted to persuade him, Shi Qingxiang did not want to leave regardless of his intentions, and the red note did not need to say more, and said: "Right now, we are in the light, the bad people are in the dark, and now I don't know how many of them there are, what their strength is, I'm just afraid that we will have to delay here for a while, let's stay first, you and the baby don't leave my side." ”
Shi Qingxiang replied to her a "fool, how could I leave you" look, and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you." ”
The red note was sweet in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, his consciousness suddenly felt a commotion coming from afar.
She waved her hand to remove the enchantment, Pu Zhi was unaware of it, and looked at the red note waiting for her to speak, but after only half a moment, his consciousness changed slightly, Huo Di stood up, and said, "There is an accident in the west of the city." ”
Hongzhi also stood up: "Let's go and have a look." ”
There was indeed a big incident outside Baiyuan City, and before the red note and his party arrived, they heard a hissing cry from the direction of the accident, and it was not a person crying, this cry was like it would be contagious, and more and more people were out of control.
Waiting for the red note to follow Pu Zhiyong to the west city gate, hundreds of people had gathered outside the city gate in a short time, and in the middle of the crowd, a ragged monk was holding a young female cultivator in his arms, kneeling and howling, crying breathlessly, the girl looked like she had died not long ago, her eyes were closed, and her complexion was as pale as snow.
It was not only the nun's relatives and friends who wept with her, but also those who had also lost their wives and daughters.
After a long period of suffering, the monks in the city suddenly found the body of the missing nun, especially the nun who had only disappeared recently.
The onlookers saw Pu Zhi coming over and made way for him.
A monk on the side grabbed it out, knelt down for Pu Zhiyong with a "plop", kowtowed again and again, and said in his mouth: "Senior Pu, please save my hard-working child, it's too late." ”
Someone started the way, and everyone begged Pu Zhiyong to make a move, in the eyes of these qi practitioners and foundation building, Pu Zhiyong in the later stage of Jindan was their greatest hope.
Pu Zhiyong's face was a little unpleasant, he sighed, pulled the monk in front of him up, and said, "Everyone get out of the way first, and tell me to see how people go." ”
An insider next to him hurriedly said: "A few of us came back late today, there are still hundreds of miles away from the city, and suddenly I saw her lying on the snow, such a cold day, her body was not stiff, it should be not long after she just breathed, Brother Xu recognized it as Lao Liu's daughter, and quickly brought people back." ”
Pu Zhi wiped his face and asked, "Did you have a good life around there at that time?" (To be continued......)
