Chapter 51: Probing

Jinxiu's words added a bit of a hidden crisis to the unknown situation in the north.

No one can say what the purpose of the people behind the theft of the Butterfly's Seal was to use this technique on the citizens of Cthulhu City. Is it just to test the effect of the Butterfly Seal, or does it have anything to do with the demon clan that is about to move?

In the case of the latter, the situation becomes even more complicated.

When the wind and snow rose again, Su Qing coughed and coughed badly, and was strongly asked by Ling Yan who came back to go back to the room. Jinxiu had other things to do, so he didn't stay in the flower hall for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, only Shen Yan was still sitting here frowning.

When Ling Yan came back, Shen Yan raised his head: "How is Lord Su?"

She shook her head: "The landlord's situation is getting more and more tired. Her body was not suitable for staying in the bitter cold of the north, but now that these things have happened, I'm afraid she won't be willing to leave here. And ......"

"And what?"

"It's going to be very difficult to get out of the North now. ”

Shen Yan paused slightly and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Ling Yan tightened her eyebrows: "There are only two exits to the northern border, one is to pass through the Unbounded Forest, and the other is to go in the direction of Wuyang City. I've been to see it today, and there seems to be someone outside guarding the way out of the north, and the strength of the other party is not low. ”

Shen Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "If it really doesn't work, I'll go and ask the young city lord, since they can reach the northern border safely, those people outside shouldn't be too much of a threat." I see that the body of the owner of Su Lou is getting worse day by day. If it goes on like this......"

She didn't finish the rest of the words, but Ling Yan could hear what those unfinished words would be. If it was someone else, even if it was the truth, such words would inevitably have a curse, and she would probably have no good face for a long time, but it was Shen Yan who said such things, so she could only hang her head with worry, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

After making up his mind, Shen Yan didn't stay in the flower hall for long, and directly said goodbye to Ling Yan and went to the place where Jinxiu was.

It was already dusk, and when the wind rose, everyone thought that another heavy snow was coming, but at this time, the heavy snow was coming, but the cold wind had stopped.

When Shen Yan arrived, Jinxiu just sent away the last person from Yunfu Heavenly City who came with him, and when the person passed by Shen Yan, he slightly sideways his eyes and said hello, and then disappeared in front of him as light as a swallow.

Jinxiu was quite surprised by Shen Yan's visit, and when she heard her intention, she raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that Miss Shen cares about Lord Su very much." ”

Su Qing also said this sentence before, but it was Meng Fuyao who said it at that time.

Shen Yan said with a slight astringency: "Master Su can be regarded as helping me a lot, if there is something that can help her, I naturally want to help her." ”

Jinxiu nodded, and then said, "It's not that I don't want to help. But....... I'm afraid the people guarding outside are not so easy to deal with. ”

"Don't you ...... the young city lord?"

"Naturally, there is no problem for my people to come and go by themselves, but if I want to bring an ordinary person, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. Jinxiu said this, picked up a letter on the table and handed it to Shen Yandao: "Miss Shen, don't be too anxious, the latest letter I received says that Master Young Fu has brought someone to the northern realm." The Murong family, where the young master Murong Qing is located, is the only one in the Dafu Empire that is allowed to stay in the center of the empire, except for the Mu family, who has served as the country's governor for generations. ”

When he was talking, Shen Yan had already finished reading the letter, and what was written on it was not different from what he said.

The three doctors on the other side are the ghost doctor Cangming, the chivalrous doctor Duanmu and the divine doctor Murong, the medical skills of these three people have reached the peak, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are peerless. Although it can't compare to Cangming, the chivalrous doctor Duanmurong and the divine doctor Murong Qing are completely insurmountable peaks compared to other doctors. The chivalrous doctor traveled to the four fields and lived in no fixed place, but Murong Qing was appointed as the prince and young master, and he was in the capital of Dafutian all the year round, and he was also the medical officer used by the empress today. When Cangming was no longer here and Duanmu Rong didn't know where to go, Murong Qing was indeed the best choice.

is also exactly what Xiu said, as a cultivator of the monk family, Murong Qing's arrival can be regarded as a powerful addition to the northern realm.

"Thank you Young City Lord for telling me this. Shen Yan put down the letter in his hand, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he said with some apprehension: "But, will the young master agree to see Master Su Lou?"

Jinxiu said: "Of course he will. As long as he is a brain, he knows that nothing can happen to the Lord of the Ninth Floor at this time. ”

Shen Yan was silent, she actually knew that the ninth floor was all over the place, and it was a big force in the top few in the rivers and lakes, and it had a good reputation outside. No matter what the imperial court thinks or thinks, now facing the crisis brought by the demon clan, Su Qing can't die, and the ninth floor can't be chaotic, if Su Qing dies and the ninth floor is chaotic, I'm afraid that this situation will be even worse.

Although, now the demon clan is only operating in the north, and has not really invaded the other side.

After thinking about this, Shen Yan was relieved in the end.

"By the way, when I first came, I heard General Murong say that among those who didn't reply to the letter, there was also the owner of Liuying Tower, Red Peony?"

"Yes. Shen Yan nodded and said: "Hong Gongzi is also a cultivator and his strength is not low, after sending many messengers who have never returned and have not been heard from, he decided to deliver the letter in person." But now, like the previous messengers, there has been no response. ”

Jinxiu said: "When we came, we went to Wuyang City to see it first. It is now an empty city. But the strange thing is...... Aside from being shrouded in demonic energy, nothing else was found. ”

Originally, having demonic energy was already the biggest anomaly. But Shen Yan knew very well that what Jinxiu meant was that everything was no different from anywhere else except for the demonic energy. And now the northern realm is more or less shrouded in demonic energy, but ordinary people can't see it, and at present, these demonic qi seems to be under control, and it has no impact on people.

What Shen Yan cared about was something else: "I remember that all the people in Wuyang City have been made into puppets, and everything is the same during the day, only at night if someone enters the city, they will be attacked." These are what Su Qing told her after she went to Fuxian to avoid sending a letter and came back. But why, when they went, they saw an empty city?

Jinxiu said: "General Murong and they once sent soldiers to guard outside Wuyang City, but then those soldiers all disappeared. Miss Shen, are you interested in going to Wuyang City with me tonight to find out?"

Shen Yan was slightly hesitant about Jinxiu's proposal, but in the end he still nodded.

General Murong was still dealing with the spontaneous combustion of many people in Cthulhu City for no reason, and Su Qing could only stay in the room to recuperate at Ling Yan's request because of his health.

After nightfall, Jinxiu arrived in front of Shen Yanmen, and said that the time had come. In addition to him, there was another person, the young man named Ah Da who came with him.

"Miss Shen is ready?"

Through the hazy moonlight, the three of them headed towards Wuyang City. On the way, Jinxiu asked like this.

Shen Yan didn't understand why he repeated such a question, but he still nodded hesitantly.

Jinxiu didn't plan to say anything else, and after asking, she chuckled and continued on her way.

This trip came out, as if there was something in a hurry, and Jinxiu took the lead in leading the way, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The journey, which had taken at least three hours, was cut in half. When they arrived, the horse collapsed to the ground.

The three of them each gave their spiritual power to help the tired and paralyzed horses recover quickly, and then, Jinxiu got off the horse and led it directly into the city gate.

Shen Yan and Ah Dazi also dismounted, turned to follow Jinxiu on foot. But seeing that he didn't hesitate for a moment, he led the horse all the way to the Mengfu mansion with a clear goal.

Shen Yan noticed the several places he saw on the road, where the demonic qi was much more jade than other places, but he didn't ask at all. Finally, he stood in front of the Meng Mansion Mansion and said, "Here, is there something wrong?"

"It's the Eye. Jinxiu let go of the reins of the horse, and when he heard this, he said: "All the demonic energy of the northern cities comes from here. ”

"That's the case...... Is it possible to dispel the demonic energy by destroying the array eye?" Although there are many explanations of formations on the Nirvana Heart Sutra, most of them record the commonly used trapped formations in Guguan Mountain, so Shen Yan is not proficient in other formations, and even the fur is not very understanding, the only thing he knows is that one formation eye is the most important, just like the foundation of a house, once the formation eye is broken, the entire array will have no effect.

Jinxiu stood outside the gate of the Meng Mansion and did not rush in, as if he was waiting for something. After hearing Shen Yan's words, he turned his eyes sideways and said, "How can it be so simple." ”

Shen Yan pursed his lips, knowing that he had guessed wrong.

Jinxiu said: "The formation set up in this city is not to spread the demonic qi everywhere, but to imprison these demonic qi only in the northern realm and not affect other places. Once the Formation Eye is destroyed and the Formation is shattered, such a confinement will disappear, and then it will not only be a matter of the northern cities. ”

"In that case, is it still a good thing to keep the formation here?"

"Of course not. Jinxiu shook his head, he looked up at the sky, and continued: "Although I don't know what the demon clan wants to do now, they set up a formation to prevent the demon qi from spreading to other places, just to keep the light and obscurity. The formation in Wuyang City must be destroyed...... But before that, you have to solve the source of the demonic qi first. It's time......"

With that, he stepped up the stone steps toward the gate.

Shen Yan originally wanted to ask again, but after seeing this, he could only close his mouth and follow into the door.

As soon as they stepped into the door, the three of them felt a cold feeling coming, which made people shiver.

From the outside, there was nothing unusual about the Mengfu mansion, but when he stepped into it at this moment, it seemed to have entered the demon realm. The yin wind was blowing, the ghost fire was bursting, and the original scenery was completely unclear, so I had to see the boundless demonic energy condensed into mist, and I could see some things vaguely, but people couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were false.
