Chapter 236: The Baby's Disappearance
It was a large inn, made of wood, with large carved wooden windows on all four walls, and the upper floor was occupied by guest rooms and the first floor was a restaurant.
Sitting on the first floor, you can see the pedestrians and the street scene on the side of the road.
After three years of restoration, this ancient city has returned to full of vitality and vitality, which shows the strength and indomitability of the human race.
At this time, there were already a lot of people who had come to dinner, a middle-aged man and a few companions walked in, sighing as they walked, they sat at a table next to Mingyue and the three, and their faces showed extremely worried looks.
Dahan said: "Several villages near us have recently lost babies, you say it's strange."
A red-faced and obese uncle asked, "Is there no one in charge of Shushan Xianmen?"
The big man said with a bitter face: "The Shushan Immortal Gate sent someone to check, but nothing was found."
Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
Feng Qingcheng stood up, saluted the old man, and asked, "This eldest brother, may I ask what happened to the lost baby?" How could a good baby be lost? ”
Seeing that Feng Chengcheng was dressed in white, he was extraordinary, handsome and chic, and at first glance, he was not from an ordinary family, so he quickly stood up and arched his hand: "This little brother, Wei Shisan in Daze Town, is polite." In our town of Osawa, in order to pray for the blessing of God and the wind and rain, there has been a phenomenon of young girls sacrificing to the gods since ancient times, and there has been no problem. ”
Mingyue exclaimed, "What? Take the maiden and sacrifice it to the gods? How to sacrifice? ”
Everyone had already seen Mingyue sitting on the side, only to see that she was extremely talented, delicate and delicate, and her body exuded a dazzling divine light, which almost illuminated the entire lobby, making people dare not force their eyes.
The big man hurriedly lowered his eyes, sighed, and said, "This girl, you don't know something, and listen to me slowly."
It turns out that Daze Town, at the foot of Kongsang Mountain, is a very old medium-sized town with a large population, and most of the residents live by animal husbandry and farming.
I don't know when there has been an ancient custom in Daze Town, that is, to pray for the blessing of the nine-headed dragon in the mountain.
They owe all this to the protection of the nine-headed dragon, so they are very superstitious about the festival of sacrifice for the dragon.
December 12 every year is the nine-headed dragon festival in Bai Ze Town.
On this day every year, the residents there will carefully select a beautiful girl, dress up as a bride, and carry it to the depths of Kongsang Mountain, the nine-headed dragon temple with a sedan chair, and sacrifice to the nine-headed dragon of Kongsang Mountain, in order to bless the residents there, live and work in peace and contentment, and have a good harvest.
Mingyue asked in surprise, "Nine-headed Divine Dragon?" What kind of god is that? ”
Dahan nodded and said: "The ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, the nine-headed divine dragon is the god who blesses our side with a good harvest and tranquility, if you don't sacrifice the girl, there will be a flood and natural disaster, resulting in no harvest and the death of cattle and sheep."
Mingyue thought about it and asked suspiciously, "The girl you sacrificed."
What happened in the end? Was it really picked up by the nine-headed dragon? ”
The red-faced and obese uncle said: "The girl doesn't know, the nine-headed Divine Dragon Temple is in the depths of Kongsang Mountain, where it is uninhabited and inaccessible. Every time the villagers send the maiden bride to the temple in a sedan chair, they must leave within half an hour, otherwise they will be hacked to death by lightning and turned into charcoal. ”
Mingyue asked in surprise, "What about the girls who were sacrificed?" What happened to the girls? ”
Dahan said: "What else, the girl sent it over, and it disappeared overnight, she must have been picked up by the nine-headed divine dragon and married to each other."
Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng glanced at each other, and both of them shook their heads helplessly, this is obviously the process of demon cultivation, which is why they need to collect yin and supplement yang, so they came up with this bad idea.
It's just a pity that those beautiful girls are like flowers, and it is estimated that those beautiful girls have long become a white bone.
Feng Chengcheng asked, "So, what's the matter with the disappearance of the baby?"
Dahan said: "Originally, our Daze Town has always been protected by the nine-headed divine dragon, and there has never been a disappearance of a baby. But in the past six months, there has been a disappearance of babies in our Daze Town, and recently it has been even more terrifying, there have been three cases in one night, and everyone is very panicked, thinking that the sacrificial girl is not beautiful enough and collided with the nine-headed dragon. ”
"Therefore, on the twelfth day of December of the next month, we all intend to sacrifice two beautiful maidens in order to gain the understanding and blessing of the nine-headed divine dragon."
Feng Qingcheng scolded: "Ridiculous, you must have been confused by monsters."
Dahan said persistently: "No, no, no, the babies we have missing there are all babies under the age of five, which has caused panic among the local residents. The Shushan Xianmen had sent people to Kongsang Mountain to investigate the matter many times, but no results were found. ”
Kongsang Mountain is a mysterious mountain range since ancient times, the mountains are endless, most of the areas are cliffs, strange trees and bad waters, the mountains are ancient and forested, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, perennial clouds and mist, the yin atmosphere is pressing.
The residents there only adhered to their duties and did not dare to go deep into the depths of Kongsang Mountain for half a minute, lest they be condemned by the nine-headed divine dragon and turned into charcoal.
Feng Qingcheng comforted: "Don't worry, the Shushan Immortal Gate will definitely not sit idly by, you wait for the news."
Dahan said excitedly: "Could it be that you are the people of Shushan Immortal Gate?"
Feng Qingcheng nodded and said, "We are the people of Shushan Xianmen, and we will come to Daze Town in a few days to help you investigate the disappearance of the baby."
When Dahan and the others heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground excitedly and shouted: "Great God, you must save the villagers of Daze Town, thank you."
Feng Qingcheng stretched out his hand, held them up with immortal power, and said: "Guarding the world is the responsibility of our Shushan Immortal Gate, you don't have to be polite."
Where did Mingyue and Feng Chengcheng still have the heart to travel to the mountains and rivers to eat delicious food, and after eating, they ignored the darkness, flew all the way to the sword, and rushed back to Shushan Xianmen overnight to understand the situation.
When they returned to the Xianmen of Shushan, the pills were still asleep, and they were not at all
didn't wake up, Mingyue was really speechless to it. This guy doesn't seem to have done anything other than sleep and eat.
Early the next morning, Feng Chengcheng summoned all the inner disciples of the Immortal Sect to discuss the disappearance of the baby in Kongsang Mountain.
In the more than one month that Feng Chengcheng was away, Qiao Chuya replaced Feng Chengcheng and managed the affairs of Shushan Xianmen.
Qiao Chuya was so busy that he jumped up and down.
Especially in the Kongsang Mountain incident, Qiao Chuya successively sent three groups of disciples to Kongsang Mountain to investigate the matter, however, no evidence was found, the baby should have disappeared as usual, and it was impossible to prevent it at all, and those nearby residents, seeing that the Shushan Xianmen could not investigate the results, suddenly seemed to have fried a pot, and it was rumored that the demon clan did it.
Qiao Chuya was even more at a loss and had nothing to do. As soon as he saw Feng Chengcheng come back, he was overjoyed, and he almost hugged him and cried with joy.
At the discussion meeting, Qiao Chuya explained the recent incident in Kongsang Mountain, and said: "I'm surprised, the Kongsang Mountain Range is so big, and there are dozens of villages at the foot of the mountain, among which the disappearance of the baby in Daze Town is the most serious, and I also suspect that it was the demon clan."
Feng Chengcheng asked, "How did you investigate?"
Qiao Chuya said: "The disappearance of babies is very scattered, so we have to focus on understanding the disappearance of babies in Daze Town. But you say it's strange or not, as long as it's a place we take care of, it's safe and sound, and if there's no place to take care of, there will be babies missing, Mei Ren and a few disciples are still investigating the situation there, and there is no result. ”
Mingyue asked, "Have you gone deep into the depths of Kongsang Mountain to find out?"
Hua Qiandu said: "We also want to go deep into Kongsang Mountain to see if there are extremely powerful monsters in that Kongsang Mountain, but that mountain is particularly strange, as long as you fly into the air, you will definitely be attacked by thunder and lightning, and many of our disciples will be injured because of this."
Mingyue told the story of the sacrifice of the girl in Daze Town, and said: "I suspect that there must be a big monster living in the depths of Kongsang Mountain, of course, it is not ruled out that it was done by the demons."
Feng Qingcheng asked, "What's wrong with the demon clan?"
Hua Qiandu said: "No, except for the disappearance of the baby in Kongsang Mountain. It is said that the Demon Emperor, after being injured last time, has not moved. However, there is a rumor ......"
Mingyue asked suspiciously, "What rumors?"
Hua Qiandu winked at Mingyue and said solemnly: "It is said that the Demon Emperor is cultivating the city in Qingqiu, and wants to make a comeback, defeat the Shushan Immortal Sect, and take charge of the entire human race."
Feng Chengcheng said: "That also depends on the demon clan, whether they have this ability."
After he finished speaking, he groaned: "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Now, Xiao'er's body is fine, and after the investigation of the Kongsang Mountain incident is over, we will infiltrate the demon clan and try to find out its movements, and even ......"
Qiao Chuya, Hua Qiandu, and Mei Ren asked in unison, "Or even what?"
Feng Qingcheng's face was cold, and he said word by word: "Find out who the Demon Emperor is?" Perhaps, only after we find out who the Demon Emperor is, me
Only then can we find the weakness of the Demon Emperor. ”
Hua Qiandu stroked his palm and laughed: "It makes sense, it makes sense, if you want to infiltrate the demon clan, I will be the first to sign up for Hua Qiandu."
Mingyue also said: "Count me in, my body is already very good, besides, I can also disguise myself." If you want to stay in Shushan Xianmen to manage the affairs of the upper and lower levels, I will take someone to deal with it. ”
Bai Ze also said: "Well, the princess goes, I will go too, and I will be counted as one."
Feng Qingcheng looked at Mingyue and said with a smile: "Well, the number of people going to Qingqiu, we will discuss it again." I'll take someone to Kongsang Mountain to investigate the disappearance of the baby. ”
Nalan Meidai looked at Mingyue's radiant and happy face, and her heart was full of jealousy and resentment, and the fire of jealousy was burning, almost roasting her.
Since she went to Yaomen and designed to get rid of Murong Yiwen, Jiang Yiyi was heartbroken and could not accept the fact that Murong Yiwen had died.
Jiang Yiyi suspected that Murong Yiwen's death must be related to Nalan Meidai. However, she couldn't find any evidence to prove that Nalan Meidai was still Murong Yiwen's murderer.
Jiang Yiyi and Nalan Meidai had a big quarrel, and the two broke up and ignored each other again.
Jiang Yiyi was heartbroken, and in a fit of anger, she left Shushan Xianmen, returned to the Jiang family, quickly married and had children, and never came back.
Nalan Meidai had nothing to do, and suddenly felt that everything had become boring.
She has nothing to do now, and she doesn't want to cultivate, let alone return to the Turkic Empire, because there is someone she is obsessed with, and that person is the head of Shushan, Feng Chengcheng.
Nalan Meidai has always believed that the reason why Feng Chengcheng did not choose herself, but chose Mingyue, was Mingyue's fault, even if she worked hard, she had to snatch Feng Chengcheng over.
Nalan Meidai heard that Mingyue was powerful in the Fengluan Empire, shook the roof, scared away the beauty, and suddenly felt that Fengluan City was not worth it.
In her opinion, it is a sad thing that such an excellent person in Fengqingcheng does not have three wives and four concubines, and many immortals.
And the fault of all this lies in Mingyue.
Because of this, she hated Mingyue even more in her heart, and regarded her as a thorn in her eye, wanting to get rid of her quickly.
Nalan Meidaiyin laughed, stood up suddenly, and said in a weird voice: "Doesn't anyone suspect that Mingyue is the spy of the Shushan Immortal Sect?" Three years ago, in the battle of immortals and demons, she happened to disappear at that juncture, who knows if she would have gone to the demons before? ”
