Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Devil
"That's the direction of Dongyang?" Jin Yu opened her eyes suddenly, and for a moment, she felt that the demonic energy in her body that she had managed to suppress became turbulent again.
Praruo nodded, and he also looked in the direction of Dongyang with a heavy face.
It had only been a long time before the demonic qi that had been eliminated had become so strong again, not only rich, but also more disgusting with the aura it exuded.
If you are a little worried about the disciples of the Jokhang Temple who are staying in Dongyang, this demonic aura is too unusual, will they have already encountered an accident?
While driving the carriage to Dongyang, Praruo said to Jin Yu, who was sitting beside him: "When we first came to Dongyang, it was because someone said that Dongyang had a terrible plague, which was unheard of and unseen. Listening to their narration, we felt that something was wrong and rushed over, and as a result, we found the demonic qi in Dongyang. ”
"Do you think the plague in Dongyang was caused by demons?"
Prajna shook his head, "At the beginning, Dongyang's demonic qi was not pure, or there were too many chaotic breaths in it, so it was not considered demonic qi. But the longer he stayed in Dongyang, the less impurities there were in that gas, and the closer it was to the demonic qi. ”
"It sounds like someone deliberately developed it and then spread it on purpose."
"But we didn't find the source then." Prajna thought back to what they had been through, trying to find some clues in it. "And a month after we came to Dongyang, the more and more intense demonic qi has been eliminated by us, and the rest has been controlled."
"It's not that simple."
Otherwise, Praruo would not have personally gone to Xuanzong's forbidden place to take the Buddha Lotus, and his purpose in taking the Buddha Lotus was not to let the people infected with demonic qi return to normal from the walking corpses.
"Well, although the demonic qi is almost expelled, the people who have been infected with the demonic qi will only be normal for a period of one to three days, and then they will still lose their minds and become unconscious walking corpses again." Prajna sighed deeply at this point and continued, "Because we didn't notice this at first, we accidentally let the plague spread, and even ...... Even some of the brothers and sisters in the temple were scratched. ”
"Did the monk become a walking corpse when he was infected with demonic energy?" Jin Yu was a little curious.
"At that time, the demonic qi in Dongyang City did not have such a big effect, and the senior brothers who were infected with the demonic qi did not lose their minds, but they would fall into their inner demons, if they did not overcome their inner demons." Prajna paused at this point, looked at Dongyang City, which was getting closer and closer, and continued: "They will lose their status as Buddhist disciples and become ordinary monks. ”
"But even if an ordinary monk has demons, it won't be beneficial to cultivation in the slightest."
"Well, the demons in their hearts, they will always stop at this step, unless they ......"
"Fallen demons." Jin Yu said as he linked some memories of the original master in his mind.
"Hmm. Unless they directly fall into the devil and turn to the demon path. ”
"Then how did you know that Dongyang was strange?"
"After Dongyang's demonic qi was controlled again, there was also a plague of demonic qi around it, but compared to Dongyang, the demonic qi in other cities was particularly difficult to eliminate, and all other cities had repeated outbreaks, but Dongyang only once."
Praruo looked at the closed city gate in front of him and said, "Dongyang is in the center of the demonic qi plague, but there has only been one outbreak of the plague, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"So, the person who made the demonic qi should still be in the city, right?"
"I guess so."
"And how are we going to get in now?" Jin Yu looked at the closed gates and the empty walls.
If it weren't for the fact that there had always been people before this, Jin Yu would have thought that this was an empty city that had been empty for many years.
Prajna jumped out of the carriage, and before he could make a move, Jin Yu jumped down after him.
Just when Jin Yu thought that Prajna was preparing to fly into the city, he just led the carriage and walked straight to the city gate.
There was no one, so he wasn't going to use a spell to smash a big hole directly into the city gate.
Just in case, Jin Yu stood five meters away from Prajna, and then watched as Pranya stretched out his hand and slowly pushed towards the city gate.
"Squeak~"
Jin Yu looked at the closed gate of Dongyang City, and opened it with a gentle push of Pranya.
The gates were not locked.
Jin Yu hurriedly trotted forward and followed behind Prajna.
The entire Dongyang City was quiet, and there was not even a trace of wind blowing birds and chirping, but it inexplicably made people's hearts chill.
"Where are we going now?"
As soon as Jin Yu finished speaking, he heard a group of shouts coming from around the corner.
When the group of people appeared, Jin Yu heard Ruoxuan, Zi Ling and others excitedly shouting the words "Senior Brother Praruo".
If you can't see the bald head of Prajna, and only hear the voice of this delicate senior brother, you will think that they are from the same school.
"Senior Brother Praruo, I thought you wouldn't come!" Ruoxuan is like a fluttering butterfly, flying in front of Praruo, and Zi Ling is not far behind.
Jin Yu waved his hand at Zizhu behind him, and the warm and cute Zizhu showed a shy smile at Jin Yu.
Praruo politely said to Ruoxuan and the others: "The temple found that there was a problem with Dongyang, so I and Jinyu Daoyou were sent to check." ”
"She has no sect and no sect, and she doesn't dare to show her true face, how can she compare with Senior Brother Prajna, I think it is because Senior Brother Prajna has a good heart, so I want to share half of the credit for this casual cultivation, in fact, it is not necessary Senior Brother Praruo, we all understand."
Jin Yu rolled her eyes at Zi Ling.
"Purple Spirit Daoist friend may have misunderstood, this time the matter of the demonic qi plague, if it weren't for the righteous action of the Golden Jade Daoist, we would not have controlled the speed of the spread of demonic qi in several surrounding cities so quickly." After Prajna finished speaking, he found that Zi Ling and the others did not believe what they said, so they changed the topic and said, "I don't know when you Xuanzong's fellow Daoists arrived in Dongyang. ”
"We arrived in Dongyang three days ago, and since three days ago, we have searched many places in the city, but we have not found half of the people, nor have we seen any traces of walking corpse activity."
Although they have never seen the walking corpse, they still have a certain understanding of the characteristics of the walking corpse, after all, the matter of the walking corpse has long been spread to the major sects by the people of the Jokhang Temple, which has attracted great attention.
If they can complete this mission, maybe they can not only receive more rewards in the sect, but also have the opportunity to get the qualification to enter the Qingyang Secret Realm.
"I remember that there is an underground secret passage in the city, which was dug up by the people of Dongyang City during the siege of the city in the past to save their lives."
"It turns out that there is still such a place, if it weren't for Senior Brother Prajna to say, we really wouldn't know about it at all."
Jin Yu looked at Ruoxuan speechlessly, you can praise, but your expression is a little exaggerated.
Praruo nodded at the purple spirit who praised him, and continued: "The situation in Dongyang is too special now, everyone pay attention to safety. ”
