Under the urging of the cultivators, Huayue City sent more people to investigate the Gu family and turned their home upside down.
They discovered a very deep dungeon. This dungeon was hidden in the basement of the Gu family's residence using a special formation. They didn't discover it at first, but experienced formation cultivators discovered it after going there.
When the people from the Mirror Hall opened the dungeon, they were all shocked by what they saw.
There are some monks imprisoned in the dungeon. They wear heavy chains and look frightened. These monks were obviously kidnapped and brought here. In just a few days, they were tortured into this miserable state.
In addition, there is a large pit in the center of the dungeon, with some corpses piled in it, which are the murdered monks.
The monks of Mingjing Hall invited medical practitioners to examine the living people, and found that some monks had lost their spiritual roots, which meant that they could no longer practice and became useless people.
Some monks do not have single spiritual roots. Part of their spiritual roots have also been dug out, and the remaining spiritual roots have not had time to be dug out.
In this way, these people become disabled souls, like disabled people. Although they can still use weak spiritual energy to nourish their bodies, they can no longer practice cultivation.
Tang Yue was also in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion. He was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help asking: "The Gu family is depriving people of their spiritual roots?"
The elder from Xianyuan Mountain He also exclaimed: "Where is the disciple from Xianyuan Mountain?"
"Don't worry, this disciple of Xianyuan Mountain has many defensive magic weapons that the Gu family has been unable to open, so he was relatively safe when we went there without any accidents."
After the elder heard his words, He calmly asked some questions, and finally there was nothing wrong with the person he brought out, "Take me to see him quickly."
After hearing their words, Tang Yue thoughtfully talked to Senior Brother Ji in a low voice: "Nothing happened to anyone in the Three Mountains and One Palace. I'm afraid the Gu family doesn't dare to provoke the disciples of the big sect."
Ji Chongguang said: "What you said makes sense. Currently, there are no disciples of the big sect or the big clan. Something happened."
Most of the sinister people in the world of immortality dare not attack famous disciples. If they do so, not only will the risk be high, they will be easily killed by the disciples' high-level magic weapons, but they will also attract powerful people in their families. , and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Even if the evildoer succeeds temporarily and takes advantage of the wealthy disciples, they will be tracked down by their elders and some means will be used to prevent them from reincarnation forever.
This is the unfairness of the world of immortality.
After the investigation reaches this point, the Gu family will definitely be punished, but the people of Huayue City still need to investigate clearly where the Gu family got the evil method of depriving others of their spiritual roots.
Why did they suddenly have the courage to kidnap so many monks and deprive them of so many spiritual roots? Who were they using them for?
There are only a few dozen people in the Gu family, and in just a few days they have kidnapped nearly a hundred monks, far more than their family needs.
Moreover, they did not find the stripped spiritual roots in the Gu family's mansion, otherwise they would still be able to find a way to get the spiritual roots back.
If the person behind the scenes is not found, then the matter is not over.
Regarding this matter, only a few people in the Gu family, including the head of the family and the elders, knew the inside story. Some juniors had no idea that such evil things were being done in the family.
Most of the monks in the hall were the people in charge who led the team to Huayue City. After hearing the truth of the whole incident, their faces became solemn. They all understood that they had not caught the real mastermind. Seizing the spiritual roots will definitely happen again. A monk said: "Such a shocking thing happened in Huayue City, and it was aimed at the spiritual roots of young monks. If any young man is attacked by this poison, his life will be ruined. This Huayue City Dharma event is still suitable. Go down?"
Nangong Changfeng was a little angry, he knew that such remarks would appear.
The Shushu Exchange Conference in Huayue City is held every thirteen years. It has a history of thousands of years. It ended with him. How can he explain to his ancestors and how to explain to Xianyuan Mountain? ?
In the hall there are families who are acquainted with the Nangong family, as well as elders from famous families.
A sect leader who had good relations with the Nangong family said: "The world of immortality is full of crises, and accidents are everywhere. We immortality cultivators are fighting against the sky, and we have to go through a lot of hardships to make progress. If we are afraid this time and retreat to the mountain gate, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to enter the realm from now on."
Everyone felt that what he said was very reasonable. Everyone already has a lifespan far beyond that of ordinary people. , what one pursues is to make progress in cultivation, and one day achieve enlightenment and soar, so that one’s practice will not be in vain.
How can you give up the opportunity to improve your skills just because you are afraid of risks? The monks present all expressed that they could not cancel the event because of this incident, as that would only increase the arrogance of the person in charge.
Nangong Changfeng thought for a moment and finally made a decision: "Huayue City will continue to hold Dharma events, and we will do our best to ensure the safety of all participants. I hope everyone can help Huayue City Give us a helping hand and organize a special investigation team with us to investigate the affairs of the Gu family in depth, find the mastermind behind the scenes, find the forces threatening us in secret as soon as possible, avenge the dead disciples, and ensure the safety of the participating monks. I don’t know if you agree or not. My proposal? "
Several people in charge who were close to Huayue City first expressed their full support for Huayue City to pursue the investigation to the end. The three mountains and one palace also agreed, and the rest of the people also agreed after seeing this situation. .
The heads of several major factions discussed with the people in charge of Huayue City and finally confirmed that a special investigation team and patrol team would be formed.
The investigation team continues to pursue clues, while the patrol team is responsible for daily patrols and strengthening the security of Huayue City. This arrangement is much more appropriate.
After assigning tasks, people from various sects left the city lord's mansion.
Long Yuyang did not leave. He asked to talk to Nangong City Lord alone, "I wonder if the City Lord can find out whether Qi Ruowei was wronged?"
Nangong Changfeng sighed helplessly. , "I tried my best. Although Qi Ruowei said that she never knew what the Gu family did, it was true that she invited so many monks into the dojo on the street, so it is difficult to rule out her suspicion. What's more..." < br>
Seeing the City Lord's hesitation, Long Yuyang knew that this matter must be something serious, "If there is any reason, City Lord, it's okay to tell me."
Nangong City Lord said bluntly, "Mingjing Hall inspected Qi Ruowei. , found that her spiritual roots had been tempered by external forces, and her quality had become better. Mingjingtang questioned the Gu family about this matter, and many people said that as soon as she entered the Gu family, many people did not recognize her, but they were called to the ancestral hall. After spending a lot of time in it, the quality of her spiritual roots improved, and she was adopted as a adopted daughter. Our medical practitioners have checked and it is true that she used the peeled spiritual roots to temper her spiritual roots. "
Long Yuyang was a little shocked that there was such an evil method in the world, using the stolen spiritual roots to improve the quality of the spiritual roots.
"But Ruowei said that she didn't know what the Gu family did, nor did she know that they deprived others of their spiritual roots to temper hers. Isn't it unreasonable to blame her for the mistake?"
Nangong Changfeng sighed, "Having said that, the sects whose disciples died would not agree to let her go. If it weren't for her, those young talents would never have suffered such a murderous attack. I As the city lord, I cannot go against the opinions of so many sects and let this suspected woman go."
Long Yuyang knew that the city lord was telling the truth, so he had to leave first and then make plans. "My nephew knows. , Thank you City Lord.
