The city gate is sealed.
This discovery was an accident. At first, the public didn't notice anything. The people at the entrance of the Minsheng Hall still distributed potions to everyone as usual. Some people even joked about how Dr. Lu had gone through so many changes overnight.
Doctor Lu smiled and said nothing.
Until evening, someone said something that seemed to be missing in the city. Another person answered, "Oh, it seems that I didn't see the soldiers today."
Normally they would come out to maintain order in case of unrest, but not today.
The speaker was unintentionally listening. Although the speaker's attention immediately shifted to another thing, the worried person had already run to the Yamen. Not long after, a loud shout came from the Yamen! .br>
"Why!!!"
The cry contained shrill confusion and despair.
Overnight, all the officers and soldiers in the city disappeared, as if they had been premeditated. They left quietly. The gate of the government was closed tightly, and there was no one inside. The people who finally saw hope of returning to Luo City were greeted head-on. The blow made his eyesight black.
What does it mean? Are you leaving them alone? !
More and more people are flocking to the city gate, and the closed city gate seems to have closed off their way to survive.
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
As long as one person takes the lead, the others will shout together, and then someone will run towards the city gate——
At this time, three arrows flew out from the city wall at the same time and shot into the ground in front of the man. As long as he took another step, they would be shot into his instep. How accurate is this?
No one could be seen on the city wall, but bows and arrows were set up. Unexpectedly, one day the bows and arrows would be directed inward to intimidate the civilians.
"Don't go any further." The people inside the city wall said, as if they thought this matter was shameful, and no one showed their faces.
The man took another step forward without any hesitation, and an arrow shot into his instep without hesitation.
The man cried out in pain, and his companion behind him quickly helped him back with fear in his eyes. Did he die not from an unknown disease but from a soldier's arrow?
"All people in Huiluocheng are not allowed to leave the city. Violators will be punished as maliciously spreading the disease." A cold voice came from above.
...
"Then what?" Ruan Xianbei asked, "What else did my mother say to you?"
Then Shen Xuan didn't continue to ask questions. He could probably piece together what happened next.
No matter what the reason was, the people above regarded the return to Luocheng as an epidemic, and the evacuation of the officers and soldiers also confirmed this.
Then there were conflicts between the people and the officers and soldiers.
It's not a conflict, it means that one party wanted to open the city gate in exchange for a chance of survival, but was ruthlessly rejected.
The sword has no eyes, and after killing and wounding many people, they found that they could not get out at all. The city gate was not only sealed from the inside, but also sealed from the outside.
What can the unarmed people do?
In the end, Ming Yanlou, who came after hearing the news but was still a step too late, calmed down the conflict.
The disciples of Mingyan Tower protected the people and told them to go home. It was not 100% sure that they would die from the infection, but if they continued like this, they would be injured, and even a stampede would be very dangerous.
"We are back in Luo City at Mingyan Tower! The most important thing right now is to defeat the epidemic as soon as possible. Think about your family and please don't suffer any more unnecessary injuries!"
The people retreated, and the officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was cruel to seal them in the city, and no one wanted to take their lives again.
However, as time went by, there was not enough food and grass in the city. At first, the government would send supplies, but the delivery time took longer and longer, so long that even Mingyan Tower was unable to do anything.
If you don't have anything to eat, you can only go fishing. If you eat fish, you may get sick. If you don't eat fish, you may starve to death if you don't have enough food.
Some fishermen chose to escape by boat from the sea, but they were never heard from again.
More and more people are returning to Luocheng to die, and people who feel desperate don't even go to the medical center.
The disciples in Mingyan Tower only eat one meal a day, and the remaining food is distributed to others at the door.
But they are also human beings, and learning martial arts is not cultivating immortals. None of them (this chapter is not finished yet!)

After eating, where can the food be produced upstairs in Mingyan?
In the end, the entire Huiluocheng either starved to death or died of illness, and there was no one left alive. The place was permanently closed, and outsiders no longer mentioned it. I don’t know why this memory was gradually forgotten by people.
"Respectable and admirable." Shen Xuan only said these few words.
"Now, do you want to go back to Luocheng?" Kou Yunxin asked.
"Go."
"Senior, where is Mingyan Tower now?"
Kou Yunxin seemed to sigh, and she said: "Perhaps the obsession of Mingyan Tower is too strong, or it may be the hearts of the people protected by them. An identical Huiluo City appeared on the bottom of the sea. The people there lived a peaceful life. The same days as before, year after year, day after day.”
"I will help you open the passage back to Luo City now, but you must find Wan Zhangtian within seven days. Only he can send you out, otherwise you will never come out again. That's all I can say , finally...when you come out...come to me."
...
"Where did my mother say to find her?!" Ruan Xianbei directly grabbed the key words and played them.
Shen Xuan was a little embarrassed: "I didn't hear clearly, as if I was disturbed by something."
Ruan Xianbei: ojbk I know, she must be damned to prevent her plot from being too simple and being mosaic.
"So when did you get here?"
"It's been five days. It's difficult to enter Mingyan Tower. After entering, it took another one or two days to find out their secrets."
"What's going on outside now that we're at the bottom of the sea?"
Shen Xuan hesitated and glanced at her: "The people here still look like they did before they died. In short, they don't look good."
"Then there are only two days left?! I don't want to turn into a monster and stay here!" Ruan Xianbei pouted and pointed outside the room, "What was that just now?"
"It's thousands of feet. He died to protect the people. After his death, he turned into a fish, but he was full of resentment and extremely vicious, so he couldn't be discovered."
"He must be very hungry..." Ruan Xianbei broke out in a cold sweat, recalling the way Wan Qianfei looked at him when he wasn't paying attention. No wonder it was so frightening. It would make sense to say it was the way he looked at food.
"But isn't Yanluo Xingshi alive? Why did he arrest me?" Ruan Xianbei was still confused about this matter. She didn't understand. Could she have any role in this matter?
Even if she could change her destiny, that would be a golden finger. She didn't know what she could do about what had happened. Although it was pitiful, she didn't want to be buried with her.
"I don't know about this either. Maybe I can find out if I find Senior Wan Zhangtian."
Wan Zhangtian is the Lord Wan who has been lying poisoned.
"What should we do next? By the way, where is Lao Jin?"
"Lao Jin is safe, shh--don't talk, he's here again."
