Chapter 41: Vanished Mortals
In the main hall of the Transformation God Palace, Lan Shuisheng was frowning and dealing with the things in the palace, picking up and putting down the music in his hand, unable to meditate.
"Alas!" Lan Shuisheng sighed, threw the music on the table, got up from his seat, walked down the steps, and paced back and forth in the main hall.
At this moment, a disciple rushed from outside the hall, and when he walked to the door of the hall, he nodded slightly to the disciple on duty, adjusted his breathing slightly, and then entered the main hall steadily.
Lan Shuisheng kept watching, and he had the impression that this disciple was the disciple in charge of walking outside the palace and collecting information from all over the world.
The disciple knelt down on one knee in front of Lan Shuisheng, and after bowing his hand, he hurriedly said: "Palace Master, the disciple came from Hu Mall, early this morning, when the disciple passed by Hu Mall, he found that all the people and animals in Hu Mall had disappeared without a trace, but there was no trace of battle in the city, as if overnight, nearly a million mortals in the entire Hu Mall had disappeared.
Seeing that the situation was strange, the disciple didn't dare to delay, and after checking it in a hurry, he rushed back all the way back to report the news, and asked the palace master to decide!"
Sure enough, something happened!
After Lan Shuisheng heard the news, his first thought was to connect what happened in Hu Mall with those masked people yesterday.
Hu Mall is only more than 3,000 miles away from here, which can be said to be the hinterland of the Huashen Palace, and it is definitely not easy for such a big thing to happen in Hu Mall.
Hu Mall is a prosperous city in this area, with a permanent population of nearly one million, and if you want to transfer so many people out silently overnight, this is not something that mortal forces can do at all.
There was hardly any doubt that the monk must have done this. Although a blood-melting Great Perfection monk could easily kill this million people, if he didn't leave any traces, even a master of the Guiding Dao Realm couldn't do it.
So the only explanation is that what happened in Hu Mall was done by a large number of monks working together, and the only people who could organize so many monks to act in unison in this area were those mysterious masked people in addition to the Transformation God Palace.
Lan Shuisheng's mind tightened in an instant, and the worry in his eyes couldn't be dispersed.
If these two things are not related, I am afraid that no one will believe them except fools.
The disciple raised his head, and also noticed the palace master's distraction, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, knowing that this matter was no longer as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Lan Shuisheng's face suddenly tightened, and he suddenly spoke, "Inform all the elders and disciples outside the palace to immediately shrink and assemble in the direction of Hu Mall, and at the same time, the search along the way cannot be relaxed, and all suspicious people are under control!"
As soon as Lan Shuisheng's words fell, the disciple on duty outside the door immediately bowed down and took the order, Lan Shuisheng's eyes were cold, he looked at the clear sky outside the hall, was silent for a while, and then said to the disciple who was half-kneeling in front of him.
"You work hard again, go to the Houshan Quiet Room to inform the three Supreme Elders, inform them of what happened in Hu Mall, pass on my words, I will go out and let them sit in the palace!"
"Yes, Palace Master!"
The disciple gave up his hand and left.
After the disciples left, Lan Shuisheng ordered someone to call the three disciples under his seat and told them to keep them vigilant at all times during their outings to prevent possible accidents in the palace.
After making arrangements, Lan Shuisheng felt a lot more relaxed, thought about it again, and made sure that there was nothing to explain again, so he walked out of the main hall and swept away directly.
By this time the sun was already setting in the west, and it would not be long before night fell.
Ju Xuelian and the two junior brothers, looking at Lan Shuisheng who left in a hurry, their eyes were also full of solemnity, knowing that the Transformation God Palace might be in big trouble.
Otherwise, his master would not seem to be in such a hurry, since he can remember, in the impression of Ji Xuelian, the master seems to have never left the Transformation God Palace, and he directly ordered the people below to do anything.
It was the first time that she had personally explained the situation of herself and others like this, and Ji Xuelian didn't have any words, and turned around and walked back and forth in the main hall.
"Second junior brother, you immediately go and lead a team to inspect all places in the palace, third junior brother, you take a few people to inspect outside the palace, and send a signal in time when you find the situation!"
After Ji Xuelian finished her order, the two junior brothers left separately, not daring to have any delay.
At this time, the disciples who stayed in the Huashen Palace also gradually discovered that the situation was wrong, and the atmosphere in the palace seemed to be very tense, as if they were facing a great enemy, and these disciples also raised their hearts.
In the evening, the three of them finally saw a huge city at the end of their sight, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, they looked a little mottled in the past.
"Senior brother, we don't need to live in the wilderness today, let's spend the night in that city!"
Linxin is naturally happy at the moment, and living in the inn room is definitely more comfortable than being a bed on the ground. And when you enter the city, you don't have to eat dry food.
It's getting late now, and if you miss this city, you don't know if you can still encounter the town.
Lin Feng looked at the sky, did not object, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the city for the night today, and everyone can rest early." ”
Yue Xintian didn't express any opinions on the side, just follow Linfeng. 180
The three of them landed on the official road not far from the city, walking slowly like a mortal business traveler.
"Why can't you see a pedestrian so early?"
Not long after walking, Linfeng found out that something was wrong, and it was too quiet on this official road. That city is not small, a city of this size can accommodate nearly a million people, and it stands to reason that it should be a constant business and lively city.
Hearing Linfeng's words, Linxin and Yue Xintian also reacted wrongly, this official road is indeed too quiet, even in the nearby mountains and forests, there is not a trace of insects and birds.
This kind of quietness is indeed too abnormal, which makes people feel panicked in their hearts, but fortunately, the three of them are all monks, so they are not afraid.
"Brother Xiao, why isn't there even a person guarding the gate of this city?"
After walking on the official road for a while, through the dim light, you can already see the situation at the city gate.
Hearing Yue Xintian's question, Lin Feng was also surprised in his heart, "No matter what his situation is, let's go over and have a look first!"
This time, even Linxin, who had always been very arrogant, began to be on guard in his heart, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the city gate, as if a monster would suddenly rush out of it.
When the three of them got closer, they could already sense the situation in the city, and in the perception of the wind, the city was quiet, and there was not even a trace of popularity, as if the world in the city had been asleep.
The three of them walked in from the city gate, looking at the silence on the streets of the city, the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and it was obvious that they had not opened for business today.
The three of them walked a little further, and the door of the nearby inn restaurant was still open, but it was quiet inside, without a trace of human voice.
Lin Feng glanced in from the door, there were several tables, there were still wine dishes and chopsticks, most of the dishes on the plate had been eaten, and some wine glasses still had a glass of wine in them.
There are fallen chopsticks on the table on the floor, and there are several benches lying horizontally on the ground, and on the counter, an abacus that has been messed up is placed at random.
All of this is showing that something is not normal, and it can be inferred that these people must have left suddenly.
"Brother Xiao, this is not normal, obviously something unexpected happened, and the mortals in the city didn't even have time to react, so they disappeared inexplicably. ”
Yue Xintian also poked his head out and looked inside, with a look of doubt and thought in his eyes.
"Senior brother, it's too weird here, how can these mortals disappear in a good way?"
Linxin's face was slightly nervous, although she was a monk, she had never encountered such a scene.
"If you want to transfer so many mortals out quietly and without causing any panic, this is definitely not something that mortal forces can do, it must be a monk who has made a move!"
Lin Feng walked into the restaurant, picked up a wine glass, held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it, and then gently put it down, and the object returned to its original place.
Yue Xintian was doing the same on the side, and he also picked up a cup and looked at it, but he didn't see anything.
"Brother Xiao, have you found anything?"
Hearing Yue Xintian's question, Lin Feng smiled, "This wine is quite fragrant, didn't Brother Yue smell it?"
Yue Xintian immediately had a black line, what did he think it was, it turned out that he had fallen in love with the wine on the table, and he had learned it again, and he would definitely be laughed at by the yellow-haired girl again.
Sure enough, Lin Xinzai said with a smile: "Yue Xintian, this time I made a fool of myself, what a fool!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Lin Feng immediately said: "Let's go to other places to take a look, so many mortals have disappeared, this is not a trivial matter, nearly a million lives." Since we have encountered it, we can't sit idly by, even if we can't do it, we should find clues and notify the nearby sects to take action. ”
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he walked outside, Lin Xin and Yue Xintian immediately followed, in this strange place, the two of them didn't dare to stay too far away from Lin Feng.
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, taking a quick look at the main parts of the city, but they didn't get any valuable discoveries.
"It seems that the person who made the shot is not simple, it is definitely organized and premeditated, otherwise it would not be possible to do it so cleanly!"
Linfeng sat down in a restaurant and looked at the cups on the wine table.
Yue Xintian and Lin Xin also sat down on the side, their eyes constantly looking around, at this time it was already dark, and a little farther away, even the monk's eyesight could not see clearly.
"Brother Xiao is right, then what should we do next? Can we still stay here tonight?"
As soon as Yue Xintian's words came out, Lin Xin added on the side: "It's so eerie and terrifying here, how can I sleep, I'd better sleep in the wild!"
At this moment, Linfeng, who had been slightly bowing his head, suddenly raised his head violently, his eyes wide open, and he looked extremely surprised.
