Chapter 509: Speculation
"It's been a while."
Ji Yuan looked back and said with a smile.
As he opened his mouth to answer, he backhanded the long sword into the Cambridge behind him, and then waved his sleeve to shoot out a series of mana, gathering together the hundreds of resentful soul remnants released from the small black flag.
"It's a bit of a hassle!"
He looked at the hundreds of remnant souls in front of him, feeling the huge resentment contained in them, and couldn't help but have a headache.
If it was somewhere else, he could naturally spend time and overtake it little by little, so that these remnant souls could re-enter samsara.
However, this place is the territory of the rebels after all, and although there are no more forces in the city that can threaten him, it is still a little inconvenient.
What's more, outside the county seat, there are two Three Realms monks, and now they don't know where they are going.
After thinking about it, Ji Yuan opened his mouth and spit out, and then a small nine-story tower flew into the air.
While the small tower body was dripping and turning, it was even lowering a stream of clear light, containing hundreds of resentful spirits and remnant souls.
He stretched out his hand and dragged the falling tower, and turned to look at Zhao Yuansong beside him: "Time is pressing, let's leave this place first."
The latter nodded, and then, as if remembering something, hurriedly looked not far away.
After seeing Song Changsheng and Qian Dahai, although they were temporarily unconscious, but there was no danger to their lives, Zhao Yuansong breathed a sigh of relief.
More than half an hour later, a streamer of light crossed the night sky and landed in a relatively remote wood.
In the shadows of the dense trees, there was a small courtyard that had been abandoned for many years, and there were three or four simple wooden houses among them.
When the light dissipated, in addition to Ji Yuan's figure, there were Zhao Yuansong and two other disciples.
However, at this time, the three of them have fallen into a deep sleep, and I am afraid that they will not wake up in a few hours.
Ji Yuan used his mana to carry the three of them into a wooden house and put them on the wooden bed.
Then he took out a few bottles of elixir, as well as a large number of spiritual objects, fed them to the sleeping three people one after another, and used his own mana to refine them little by little.
It wasn't until the sky grew brighter that he was done, and he walked out of the hut with a somewhat tired look.
Recently, Ji Yuan has hardly rested, and he has been rushing and searching every day, during which he has encountered several monks of the Three Realms of the Dead Life Building, and he has fought four or five times.
In addition, on this night, refining pills and spiritual objects for the three of them with their own mana, even if they were extremely close to the cultivation of the middle stage of the Three Realms, they inevitably felt a deep exhaustion.
"Thank you for your help last night!"
At this moment, several people came out of another wooden house and bowed deeply to him.
They had already left the county a few days ago, intending to find Cao Yan, who was hiding in a remote place, as well as his wife, children and parents.
Originally, several people had a very smooth journey, but they didn't expect to be chased and killed yesterday, and a team of officers and soldiers guarding the city chased after them.
If it weren't for Ji Yuan passing by to make a move, they might have already buried their bones on the side of the road.
And it was precisely because of this shot that Ji Yuan learned the news of Zhao Yuansong and others, and arrived at the critical moment to save the lives of the three people.
"No need to be polite."
Ji Yuan smiled slightly, his expression seemed very friendly, and he had never made any lofty gestures because of his own cultivation.
Then he glanced at a few people whose faces were not very good, so he took out a few bottles of pills and gave them to each other.
These are not high-grade elixirs, nor do they have much value, but they just have the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan that is quite good for mortals.
But it is just right, Cao Yan's wife, children and parents, the four of them are just mortals after all, and after a few days of running and a fright between life and death, although they have rested all night, they are still a little unbearable.
"The kindness of the Taoist chief, Cao Yan can't repay it!"
He took the elixir, and then again deeply one
Pendulum.
He also has the cultivation of a martial artist, and because he has been a dart master, he has traveled south and north for so many years, and has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience.
In this way, it can be seen that although his family is fine, after this incident, he will inevitably be seriously ill and bedridden for a long time.
As for whether there will be sequelae, it is a little difficult to say.
And now that he has these bottles of pills, he should be fine after thinking about his family, after all, this is from the hands of a powerful immortal master.
"Cao Daoyou, there are some things in the poor road, please help solve your doubts."
After his family took the pill, Ji Yuan slowly spoke.
Hearing this, Cao Yan suddenly perked up, and hurriedly assured that he would know everything.
"Last night, I entered the county seat and found something unusual......
He bowed slightly, and then expressed the doubts in his heart.
After a long time, Cao Yan's face showed a solemn expression, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
After another moment, he let out a long sigh and told everything he knew.
In fact, it has not been long since the rebels occupied the county seat, and people have begun to disappear in the city.
It's just that at that time, Shang had just experienced a war, and not many people cared, not to mention that the county government at that time had not resumed operation, and the rebels suppressed the whole city with troops.
Until order was restored, there were still people missing, but because the number remained at a very delicate level, no one paid much attention to it.
"Because the missing people are the whole family, we also assume that the family fled because of the war."
Cao Yan shook his head, and it wasn't until a few days ago that he noticed that something was wrong.
That night, the so-called thieves were searched, but more than 100 families died mysteriously.
Although the rebel magistrate said that everything was a crime committed by a thief, no one in the city would choose to believe it, except for the ordinary people.
The reason is also very simple, it is simply impossible for a thief of one person to slaughter more than 100 families in one night.
Not to mention the strong demonic aura remaining at the scene, and the fact that the county government has had monsters in charge for many years, it is enough to explain some of the situation.
This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Yan wants to leave the county with his family.
Whether it is occupied by the imperial court or the rebels, in fact, it makes no difference to the people in the city, it is nothing more than a change of person to take away the taxes.
But if there are demons to haunt them, they will harm the people to achieve their ulterior purposes.
So when will you not run now?
Will one day, the monster find its home?
If it weren't for Cao Yan's own lack of strength, he would not have chosen to escape with his family, but directly killed the monster who was causing trouble.
"You go and spend time with your family first."
Ji Yuan took Cao Yan away, and then stood alone in the small courtyard.
Combined with some of the circumstances that the other party said, plus the small black flag I saw last night, and the hundreds of remnant souls in the Xuantian Spirit Devouring Tower.
He had vaguely grasped something, but there was still something to confirm.
