Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, everyone also traveled a lot of distance on foot. The reason is that although this place is still within the scope of the dynasty, it does not mean that there is only one sect like Luoyun Sect. There are many other large and small sects in the surrounding area.
Not to mention whether there will be conflicts with the disciples of these sects, there are also many birds and beasts here.
Although the speed of the spirit boat is very fast, when faced with those powerful birds and spirit beasts, the speed of the spirit boat is still not enough for defense. A few people can't fly, and the only outcome is to fall from a height of thousands of miles and eventually become broken into pieces. On the way, we encountered many attacks by spiritual beasts, but all of them were saved. Several times, Xiao Ye doubted whether Chen Baili had done anything. Most of the spirit beasts chased him, and one time they actively asked to run away separately, which made him even more suspicious and resentful of Chen Baili.
However, along the way, the thing that filled my mind the most was this world.
Although it took a lot of time to walk along the way, the speed of this spirit boat was not slow. Even if it was not as fast as modern fighter jets, it was still comparable to ordinary passenger planes. But even with such a fast speed and unobstructed flight, he still couldn't see the end of this world, as if it was endless.
If he still thinks this is the earth at this moment, he is really an idiot.
He didn't understand what kind of place this was. Could it be that his ancestors were not earthlings but aliens? And the voice that once appeared in his mind... All of this made him feel very confused, but he couldn't figure it out. Perhaps, as the voice said, only by constantly practicing and becoming stronger can we know all the answers here.
Finally, after three days, the three of them finally arrived at the area where Jintai Town is located.
Although I didn't meet anyone along the way, I did meet a lot of spiritual beasts. There are many spiritual beasts that just a few people can't afford to offend at the moment, and every one who passes by them is frightened.
Fortunately, in the evening today, we arrived at Jintai Town.
"I've met senior sister and two senior brothers!" At this time, there was a man standing in front of the gate of the town wall. Like Xiao Ye, he only had the second level of Qi Entrainment.
"Little man Jin Min, it must be very hard for several senior brothers and sisters to come from afar. Now that it is getting late, we have prepared wine and food. Please take a seat and have a rest." The man said lightly, and then invited Several people walked towards the depths.
Xiao Ye looked at the respectful man in front of him and thought to himself, before they came, they would have prepared good food and wine every day and were always ready to welcome them. This had only one purpose, it must be to ask for something.
Walking in the town, although it is about to enter late at night, it is still dusk. Logically speaking, when you go from house to house, you should be preparing dinner, or just on your way home from today's daily work. But... Jintai Town was surprisingly quiet. Even if someone saw the arrival of a few people, they just looked through the window but did not go out.
When several people came to a house, there were not many people to greet them in the house, only a few servants and a middle-aged man headed by a leader.
"Three senior brothers and sisters have come from afar, please take a seat and rest first." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Xiao Ye looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He had the fourth level of Qi Entrainment. If Xiao Ye hadn't come from the Luoyun Sect and was an orthodox disciple of the Luoyun Sect, the middle-aged man in front of him would never have lowered his status and called him senior brother.
After a few people took their seats, Mu Yudie suddenly said, "You are the current mayor of Jintai Town, Jin Tianyao."
"It's just dusk now. Why are the people here basically closed in and staying at home? And... although I have never been here, I have also investigated and found that the spiritual energy here is not thin at all. The current richness, at least, is not the purity of spiritual energy that can be had here. What on earth is going on?"
Since arriving here, Mu Yudie has found that everything here is a bit strange. Originally, this place did not have any spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It was mainly because the elders of the sect brought part of the spiritual energy here that the spiritual energy appeared. But the purity is extremely thin, and it is not certain whether one can break through to the fifth level due to old age, illness and death. And although the Golden Heaven Medicine in front of him is close to the age of half a century, his cultivation level at the fourth level must have been broken through not long ago. The spiritual energy seems a little thin.
Jin Tianyao smiled and said: "This senior sister is right. The spiritual energy here was originally so thin that it was not as thin as it is now. This kind of thing happened half a year ago, and the spiritual energy here that day was Suddenly the stool became thicker. I thought this was a good thing. My son and I also had a breakthrough after that. But it was a bit strange that this happened. As expected, the spiritual energy was strong for just a moment, and then it started to slow down. It slowly dissipates until it returns to its previous level.”
"Originally, the spiritual energy here was thin, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But from that day on, strange things started to happen here."
"Every late at night, people will disappear in the town for no reason. First they are ordinary people, and finally they are monks. There are almost no signs of spiritual beasts. And the number of disappearances is irregular, sometimes once a day, sometimes three times. It only happens once every five days, and that’s why people go from house to house and at dusk, they all hide in their homes and don’t dare to go out.”
"The disciples who came here before, what kind of cultivation did they have, and how were they all killed?" Xiao Ye suddenly asked.
"Some of the senior brothers before were all at the fourth or fifth level. Although I am also at the fourth level, the spiritual energy here is originally thin, so my strength is naturally relatively weak. Those senior brothers and I were exploring together late at night, let alone It’s a spiritual beast, and I didn’t even hear some of the beast’s roars, but even so, several senior brothers were still harmed one by one, and because I was familiar with the environment here, I escaped by hiding.” Jin Tianyao said, for There was no resistance to Jin Tianyao's actions. Even the outer disciples at the fourth and fifth levels had been killed. He, a fourth-level monk who was probably not even as good as the third-level monk, would just die if he went out. .
Xiao Ye and the others were silent. There was no sign at all. Several fourth- and fifth-level disciples disappeared inexplicably. This was a bit too strange.
Although spiritual beasts are wild beasts, they are also creatures with the same cultivation level as humans. Naturally, they can also feel the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. For a place like Jintai Town that has never had spiritual energy before, and later the spiritual energy was extremely thin, the spiritual energy is extremely rare. No beast wants to stay here.
The source of everything may have to be traced back to half a year ago, when the spiritual energy suddenly became richer.
"Mayor Jin, you said that the rich spiritual energy suddenly appeared half a year ago. Have you investigated how it appeared?" Xiao Ye asked. I am afraid that only by finding the source of the rich spiritual energy can we know the answer.
"This is not the case." Jin Tianyao said: "At first, we thought that the strong aura here was due to a sudden change. But as the number of people disappeared and the aura gradually disappeared, we realized that maybe something had appeared. Here, the spiritual energy here suddenly became richer. Because too many people disappeared, even the senior brothers of Luoyun Sect suffered. This also caused fear to rise in our hearts, and we did not dare to investigate in depth rashly. "
"So, Mayor Jin puts out such rich food and wine every day. He even asks his son to greet him at the entrance of the town at dusk, probably just to let us investigate what is going on here. If possible, would you still like us? Please ask the sect to see if you can permanently preserve the purity of the spiritual energy here, so that you can have more children who can practice in the future, so as to make this town better, or... "You want to enter the dynasty, I guess you are right." Xiao Ye said with a faint smile.
"This..." Jin Tianyao didn't expect that this senior brother, who seemed to be the weakest and was not even qualified for this task, was so smart. He revealed his true purpose in just a few words. See Looks like, people really can’t be judged by their appearance.
"This senior brother is right. Since we began to practice, people here have been very eager to practice, become stronger, and live longer. However, there are very few people who can practice, and even fewer who have a little bit of talent. If it were here The spiritual energy can remain strong forever. People in the town receive the baptism of spiritual energy all year round, and the newborn babies born in the future will have better cultivation qualifications. We may not be able to leave here and enter a prosperous place like the Dynasty." Jin. Tianyao knew that there was no way to hide it, so he admitted it.
Chen Baili and Mu Yudie frowned at the same time and looked at Xiao Ye in surprise.
This was something the two of them had not expected. They thought that they had said so much just to facilitate our detailed investigation. The arrangement of such rich food and wine was just out of respect for the sect, but I didn't expect that there was such a purpose.
At this moment, Mu Yudie had a different view of Xiao Ye. Chen Bai felt a little guilty. He was afraid that his true purpose would be revealed by Xiao Ye, and it would be difficult to deal with it then.
Xiao Ye looked at the two people beside him and said nothing, but his eyes gave him a signal.
Mu Yudie quickly understood and said: "Mayor Jin, we are just ordinary disciples of the sect. These are not things we can say in one or two sentences. The final result still needs to wait until the sect It can only be handled by the door.”
Xiao Ye's performance just now was a bit over the top. If he continues like this, he may make the other party misunderstand that he is some special disciple of the sect. Although he has a low cultivation level among several people, he has the right to speak, thus lowering his reputation. The identities of the two. Letting the two of them speak at this time will not only not lower their status, but also erase the doubts about Xiao Ye. It is really smart.
At this moment, Mu Yudie's impression of Xiao Ye had improved a lot.
Jin Tianyao sighed, he actually knew it wouldn't work, but it was just to take a gamble and see if any special Tianjiao disciples would come. The result was obvious. Luoyun Sect would not let Tianjiao disciples do whatever they wanted. Come take the risk.
"However, if possible, we will say a few words to persuade the sect. After all... you have more qualified disciples here, which is also a good thing for our sect." Mu Yudie added .
"In that case, those guys will enjoy the food and wine first, take a rest today, and wait until dawn to do the investigation." Jin Tianyao said with a smile.
Although today's food and wine tasted delicious, they were basically ordinary food. There were only a few low-grade spiritual foods, which did not help Xiao Ye and others much, and they were over soon.
Under Jin Tianyao's arrangement, several people moved in, but Xiao Ye was worried about whether Chen Baili would take advantage of this situation to attack him late at night.
