Chapter 84: Essence Offerings, False Moon
"Master, I always feel that those mortals in Tongyang City look a little strange."
Ji Xiaotang's good-looking brows frowned slightly, and said, "They always seem to be listless, and they look like they don't like to answer." Even the guy at the inn was the same, and I called him three times before I reacted. ”
"That's true."
Fang Yun glanced at her and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, they should have been absorbed by someone's essence, so the three souls were difficult to attach, and their will faded. ”
"There are still people in this place who use such evil methods to cultivate? Doesn't anyone care? ”
Ji Xiaotang's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Absorb people's essence, this is the most evil of the secret methods of the Demon Dao.
Even if it is placed in the Demon Dao Cultivation Holy Land such as the Freedom Demon Mountain, it is the most despised cultivation method.
"We'll see what the truth is at night."
Fang Yun said lightly.
If nothing else, this matter should have a lot to do with what Zhao Tong said about not being able to go out easily at night.
He's going to have to check it out tonight!
The cold moon hangs high, and the night is slightly cool.
Before the third watch, the entire Tongyang City seemed to fall into a deathly silence, and the streets and alleys could not even hear the sound of wild cats calling.
Shout. Shout.
The two figures flowed out of the inn silently, and they were Fang Yun and Ji Xiaotang's master and apprentice.
"There's really no one!"
Looking at this extremely quiet street, Ji Xiaotang blinked his eyes wide, and said in confusion: "It doesn't matter if no one goes to the street, how can there be no one who even fights the watch?" ”
"Here we are."
Fang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had noticed something.
I saw him dodge, and he flew directly to the roof of a certain house with Ji Xiaotang, secretly observing the movement on the street.
Squeak.
Almost at the same time, I don't know how many doors in Tongyang City were opened, and under the reflection of the strange moonlight, one after another figures walked out of the house, looking sluggish, starless, like a walking corpse to the street.
These people are the people of Tongyang City.
As if they had been manipulated, they knelt down on their knees in front of the cold moon on the horizon and began to worship.
"Long live the Great Moon King! Long live the Great Moon King......"
The same words were uttered from everyone's mouth, hovering above Tongyang City like a magic spell.
Wow!
Fang Yun looked intently, and really saw wisps of essence floating out from those people's bodies, and then flew towards the cold moon in the sky. And after absorbing a large amount of mortal essence, that cold moon was actually dyed with a faint blood color out of thin air, which was extremely weird!
"The Moon...... It's fake! ”
Fang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asserted: "It seems that someone has set up a powerful blindfold here, covering up the original moon and replacing it with a fake moon!" This fake moon is the product of the condensation of those mortal essences, and the person who manipulated all of this behind it must be a demonic cultivator who has cultivated amazingly! ”
Not surprisingly, the mastermind behind it should be the "Great Moon King" in those mouths.
"Huh?"
Ji Xiaotang was shocked: "Mortals are already weak, if a wave of essence is absorbed every night, wouldn't the people of the entire Tongyang City die soon?" ”
"Not really."
Hearing this, Fang Yun shook his head and said, "Don't you see it?" The amount of essence absorbed by each mortal is not very large, and even if it is sucked frequently, it will not easily reach the level of death. However, the continuous loss of essence can make those mortals weak and sick, mentally exhausted, and even shorten their lifespan. ”
If he was not mistaken, the mastermind behind this was to raise these mortals like livestock and follow the path of sustainable development, rather than directly sucking them dry and killing chickens for eggs.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary main city actually hides such a truth behind it, no wonder Zhao Tong specially warned them not to go out at night during the day.
"Could it be that Zhao Tong is also one of the masterminds?"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Fang Yun immediately denied it and said secretly: "It shouldn't be, it's impossible to do this kind of thing with his cultivation of the Transformation God Realm." And seeing that his expression during the day is so strange, he wants to say it but can't say it, I'm afraid it's a hardship......"
Besides, with Zhao Tong's ability, he didn't have the courage to harm himself at all.
Sunrise in the East.
When the sun rose from the sky, those walking corpse-like people gradually returned to their abode, as if they had just had a strange dream, but they could not recall the contents of the dream at all.
Early in the morning, Fang Yun's master and apprentice came to the branch of the Yaodong Business Alliance again and found the president Zhao Tong.
"I don't know what the Pavilion Master is so anxious about looking for Zhao?"
Zhao Tong looked a little surprised.
"President Zhao, your East Window incident has happened!"
Ji Xiaotang glared at him, made a fierce expression with that cute face, and threatened: "Hurry up and tell everything you know!" Otherwise, my master will skin and tear you apart, crush your bones and scatter ashes, and die so that you don't even have scum left! ”
"This ......"
Zhao Tong was really frightened, his expression was flustered, and he hurriedly said: "Pavilion Master, where did Zhao offend you, why did he treat me like this?" ”
"Who told you to talk nonsense."
Fang Yun knocked Ji Xiaotang's head a little helplessly.
Let you scare him, didn't let you shape the teacher into an unreasonable big devil image!
"President Zhao, it's true that our master and apprentice left the inn last night and saw something strange."
Fang Yun said lightly: "I think, you should know something." ”
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Who knew that Zhao Tong seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said with a wry smile: "Please forgive me the Pavilion Master, even if you want to know the truth of the matter, I will definitely not say half a word." Otherwise, my little life will never be saved. ”
"It's shameless, isn't it?"
Ji Xiaotang was a little angry, and he sneered: "Believe it or not, grandma, I made your death ugly!" Don't think that you are the branch president of the Business Alliance, you are very great, I am not afraid to tell you, even the young master of your Yaodong Business Alliance, I beat and played every day! ”
She wasn't lying.
Isn't that unlucky young master of the Yaodong Business Alliance Xiong Lao Liu himself?
"Grandma, even if you really kill me, I can't say it......"
Zhao Tong said bitterly.
"Little Sugar, don't make trouble."
At this time, Fang Yun directly stopped Ji Xiaotang, stared at Zhao Tong for a moment, and then chuckled: "President Zhao, can you open your mouth and let me see?" ”
"No, of course not!"
As soon as the words fell, a flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Tong's eyes, but he shook his head again and again.
"Offended."
Fang Yun didn't talk nonsense to him anymore, and directly pointed at Zhao Tong's eyebrows, and the latter passed out on the spot.
Immediately after, Fang Yun opened his mouth, and actually found that there was a black rune imprint with the word "moon" at the bottom of Zhao Tong's tongue, and strange power fluctuations flowed through it, as if it was declaring his strength.
"Sealing spell!"
Fang Yun said in a low voice.
No wonder Zhao Tong refused to reveal half a word to him, it turned out that someone had planted a vicious sealing spell!
