Chapter 297 Murderous Case Reoccurs
The monks in Huayue City never expected that on the day they agreed to cooperate with Huayue City to jointly fight against different forces, another incident of depriving the disciples of their spiritual roots would occur.
That night, the city was quiet, but many disciples of the sect were deprived of their spiritual roots in their sleep, and when they woke up, they found themselves disabled.
This time, it was not just the disciples of small and medium-sized sects who were affected, but also the people in the Three Mountains and One Palace. This shocked the elders who led the team, and the situation became increasingly serious.
Peak Master Gongsun summoned all the disciples and lit the life lamps for them. All the disciples poured their blood and spiritual energy into the small glazed lamps one by one, which were kept by the elders of the sect.
This time, the life lamp newly developed by Wuji Mountain is used. It can not only indicate the life and death status of the disciples, but also allow the elders to sense the disciples' position.
When the life lamp is weak, it means that the disciple's life is hanging by a thread. At this time, the elder will search according to the disciple's position. If he can find the person in time, he can save the disciple.
Originally this was a method only used when going to secret realms or performing dangerous missions, but unexpectedly it was used here.
The disciples in Wuji Mountain were all shocked by the tragedy that happened around them, and they started talking about it. For monks, losing their spiritual roots is a terrible thing.
He was originally a practitioner with a bright future and his status was much higher than that of a mortal. Now he has lost his spiritual roots and his body is weaker than that of a normal mortal. The disciple almost couldn't accept it and committed suicide on the spot.
Thanks to several elders who stopped him in time and comforted him, as long as he found the spiritual roots that had been taken away, they could use secret methods to help him put the spiritual roots back, so that he could still practice.
Hearing these words, the monk did not commit suicide.
Tang Yue thought that his spiritual roots were also acquired. If he found those spiritual roots, he might really be able to put them back, allowing him to practice like a normal person again.
“The thugs are getting bolder and bolder, and they dare to attack people in three mountains and one palace, but we cannot retreat. We must participate in the conference process as usual and persist until the end. We cannot give in to the thugs who are behind the scenes.”
However, the disciples were still hesitant and did not respond loudly. Depriving them of their spiritual roots was more uncomfortable than killing them, and they were filled with fear.
The peak master added: "I have asked the people from Wuji Mountain's Yanfa Peak to send more manpower to support Huayue City. With them participating in the investigation and protecting you, it should be much safer."
This time The disciples at Wuji Mountain feel more at ease and can continue to participate in the Dharma exchange meetings.
The decisions of other sects are the same. They all notify the sect to reinforce the manpower and follow the normal procedures. There must be no retreat.
The Magic Exchange Conference is not just a matter for Huayue City, it is a grand event for the entire Liuzhou. If they succumb to the brutal behavior of evil people, what face will they use to face the world of immortality in the future? People from other continents?
Tang Yue feels that the elder's statement is very reasonable. Facing evil thugs, if you are cowardly and retreat, it will only allow them to push forward and hurt more people. You should adopt a head-on attitude and fight against them. in the end.
"Peak Master, I want to join the patrol team that cooperates with the City Lord's Mansion to do my part for the senior brother who has lost his spiritual roots. I hope to find those stolen spiritual roots as soon as possible and heal the senior brother."
< br>Peak Master Gongsun agreed. Although Tang Yue is young and less than twenty, she has Nascent Soul cultivation level and is relatively high among the disciples who came this time. Not to mention that there are older senior brothers and sisters around her, so she should not Will get hurt.
"Okay, but you have to listen to the leader of the team." He assigned Tang Yue to Chu Yi's team. With a reliable disciple watching over her, there will be no problems.
Chu Yi took her on patrol during the day and found no clues. At night, their team was responsible for guarding.
Sitting vigil all night was boring, so she discussed it with Senior Brother Chu Yi.
“Brother, the victimized disciples all lost their spiritual roots in their sleep. No one noticed the movement, not even the elders in charge noticed anything unusual. Could it be that the person who deprived them of their spiritual roots did not sneak into the guild hall with his true body? It was through other means."
Chu Yi thought for a while and replied: "You are saying that maybe the perpetrator used some kind of secret method, from dreams, or other unreal things. The channel has taken away the spiritual root?”
“This is what I think. When people fall asleep or meditate, their souls can reach the heaven and earth. They are sensitive and fragile. Some people may even have their souls leave their bodies and wander to the underworld in their sleep. , will the murderer take away the victim's spiritual roots through spells or methods of communicating with the soul?"
"The elders had already investigated in this direction during the day, but no spell fluctuations were found. There are traces of it, or the caster is too clever for us to detect it." Tang Yue pondered, if the elders can't detect it, what else can they do?
She then sent a message to Meng Furong: "Sister Meng, is there any way to detect the fluctuations of vitality? Spiritual roots are formed by a person's innate vitality. If one is deprived of spiritual roots, there should be a large number of people around him. The fluctuation of vitality, if we can detect this fluctuation, we may have clues."
After a while, Meng Furong sent a message back: "There is a charm that detects breath, and it can be detected by changing it. You are full of energy, please wait a moment, I will try to change it.”
This is the strength of Dongxu Mighty, who is good at magic, and can modify the spell according to his own needs.
Tang Yue and Senior Brother Chu Yi chatted for a while, and Meng Furong was ready.
Tang Yue raised his head and said to Senior Brother Chu: "Brother, I remembered that there is a charm that can detect large fluctuations in vitality. Put them on each disciple, and a warning sound will be made when the vitality fluctuates. In this way, if If someone deprives a disciple of his spiritual root, the people around him will notice it. "
"If there is such a talisman, then we can better protect the safety of the disciples, and maybe we can catch the culprit. I don't know if Junior Sister Tang can. Do you take this kind of charm with you?”
“I happen to have some.”
In just a short time, Meng Furong had already modified it and painted hundreds of them for her. The talisman consumes little inspiration and aura, and it is not very laborious to draw in batches. It just requires some ingenuity in the design.
So Senior Brother Chu saw Tang Yue bring out a stack of hundreds of talismans and handed them to him. Not only was he surprised, but Junior Sister Tang had even prepared a lot of such talismans.
“Thank you, junior sister, for letting me test it.”
Chu Yi is a monk who practices Yi Dao, and he will have some vitality on his body. He placed the talisman on the small table, took out a small jade bottle, gently pulled out the cork, and approached the talisman.
Vital energy is not easy to preserve between heaven and earth. It will transform into other things after a while, so there is very little vitality in the air.
At this time, hold a bottle of vitality with the lid open next to the charm. As the concentration of the vitality increases, fluctuations will occur. The talisman was very sensitive and flashed immediately, followed by a sharp and piercing sound that could be heard throughout Yu Ning Tower.
Peak Master Gongsun, the elders and some disciples heard the noise and hurried to the hall, thinking that something dangerous had happened.
Chu Yi quickly explained to them, and everyone knew that they were testing this charm that could sense vitality.
Peak Master Gongsun picked up a talisman and looked at it carefully, "It is indeed mysterious. The person who changed the talisman is very knowledgeable."
He immediately thought of Tang Yue's weapon. Ling was a member of the Meng family six hundred years ago, so this talisman must have been made by her.
"Master, do you want to give talisman papers to everyone and let them carry them with them to prevent others from getting involved." Chu Yi bowed and saluted, waiting for his master's instructions.
"Leave a few for us elders, we will make more, and you can distribute the others."
"Disciple, obey."
Just then everyone was frightened by the sharp sound and got up to check the situation. Many people gathered in the hall and took advantage of this time to distribute talismans, which were all distributed quickly.
That night, every disciple took the talisman to sleep. The villains did not come to commit murder, and the sharp and harsh sound never came again.
