Chapter 298 The Daughter of Destiny
The City Lord’s Mansion once again convened the heads of various sects for discussion. At the meeting, they were given the Yuan Detection Talisman provided by Wuji Mountain. The capable sects can copy it after they return. More talismans.
Small sects who cannot make their own talismans can also obtain talismans from large sects for free to protect their disciples.
In addition, sects that are close to each other have also united to jointly resist unknown dangers. Those sects that are alone have also joined in the alliance under the arrangement of Lord Nangong to look after each other.
Even after making so many arrangements, Nangong City Lord was still worried. He had no idea how the enemies lurking in the dark used to peel off the spiritual roots.
A group of monks supported by Xianyuan Mountain have already arrived, and they are still investigating. What they are most worried about is that more tragedies will occur during this period of investigation.
Most people in the world are irrational. Although the current incident is not Huayue City's fault, many people are already angry with Huayue City in their hearts, but they have not spoken out.
This is a big blow to the reputation of Huayue City, and he cannot let many talents from Liuzhou Realm be lost in Huayue City. In this case, he will be a sinner through the ages.
"Dad, I have interrogated the Gu family. They said that a few months ago, they suddenly heard an oracle and gave them the secret method to deprive their spiritual roots."
Nangong, the daughter of the city lord Yan came to the study where her father was doing business and reported her progress to her father.
Nangong Yan wore a loose lake blue brocade robe, which was very simple to tighten around her waist with a brocade belt.
Ever since the Gu family case occurred, she has been helping her father take care of his worries and taking charge of the investigation. She has no time to think about clothes.
Nangong Changfeng couldn't help but slapped the table, "It's ridiculous, what kind of oracle would make people seize spiritual roots?"
"The head of the Gu family said that the oracle told them, Although people are born with spiritual roots, some people have done evil things and are not worthy of having such spiritual roots at all. So they are asked to do justice for God and take away these people's spiritual roots, and then God re-gives them to those who are kind-hearted. A person without spiritual roots.”
Nangong Yan also thought this incident was ridiculous, but she still reported it to her father truthfully.
The city lord frowned, "Then where did they put the deprived spiritual roots? And why did they hurt the lives of these monks?"
"They said that after depriving them of their spiritual roots, they , it will be placed on an altar, and after a while, the god will take away the spiritual root. We did find an altar made of stones in the Gu family residence. The head of the Gu family said that he was worried about them. Leaving to reveal the evil deeds of the Gu family."
"What benefits will the Gu family get from this matter?" He didn't believe that the Gu family would work so hard as executioners just after hearing some "oracle".
“The Gu family said that God promised to give their family members a better spiritual root. After inspection by our medical officer, it was found that the children of the head of the Gu family, as well as several of his nephews, had indeed changed their spiritual roots. "Did they say what kind of god he was?"
"This is the strangest thing. The Gu family seems to have only heard sounds and never seen this god."
"There is such an evil law in the world. We must investigate this matter clearly. , otherwise countless monks will be deprived of their spiritual roots in the future, which will cause a great chaos."
From ancient times to the present, only those with spiritual roots can practice in the world of immortality, and those without spiritual roots have no chance of being on the great path. , if you can seize other people's spiritual roots and turn them into your own, then countless such evil deeds will appear in the world.
"My daughter will step up the investigation."
"By the way, Young Master Long keeps asking me about Qi Ruowei. What happened to her? She is obviously from the mortal world. How can people get involved in the affairs of the Gu family? "
"The Gu family said that the oracle told them that this woman was the daughter of destiny and was here to help them, so Gu family wanted to take her into their family. The family members exchanged spiritual roots and taught her the Dharma, and accepted her as the adopted daughter of the Gu family. Qi Ruowei's confession was that she did not know that the Gu family was kidnapping people and depriving them of their spiritual roots. She only helped the Gu family spread the Taoism and invited people to join. Just watching in the dojo."
"What did the Gu family say? Does she know?"
"The head of the Gu family and the young master of the Gu family said that she didn't know, but the ladies of the Gu family said. , saying that she knew about it and was an accomplice."
Nangong Changfeng laughed, "The ladies of the Gu family didn't know that their elders were depriving others of their spiritual roots. How did they learn about Qi Ruowei. Participated? I think the woman in the backyard is just jealous."
Nangong Yan asked: "Are you going to let Qi Ruowei go?"
"It still doesn't work. Although she may be innocent, no matter how many other monks there are, she must be punished for dragging people into the dojo. I can't go against the wishes of many monks."
Unless there is something big Only if the family guarantees her and proves her innocence can she be released. Otherwise, she will have to fight with the Gu family. "My daughter knows."
"You should continue to do your work. By the way, you should also keep an eye on your brother. He is in such danger recently. Don't let him run around."
Nangong Yan agreed to her father, bowed and left. After leaving the meeting hall, she walked to her brother's living yard and told him not to run around. The monks in the city who had stripped him of his spiritual roots had not yet been caught.
Nangong Jing was a little unhappy. He wanted to go to Yu Ning Tower to find Tang Shimei and show her the customs and customs of Huayue City.
"Sister, can't I go out during the day? I will take Uncle Ming with me, and I can also bring some guards."
"It should be okay during the day, but you You must promise me not to go to places where there are few people, and not to meet with people in private. It is best to do it in public."
She felt that the villain should not attack the young master of the City Lord's Mansion in public, then. Huayue City no longer needs to operate. At that level, everyone is already in danger and every house is closed.
Nangong Jing became happy, "Sister, I understand, I will definitely not go to dangerous places."
Seeing that her brother listened to her words, Nangong Yan left. She just told Uncle Ming that although her brother was naive, he was still very obedient.
At night, Tang Yue was meditating on the bed, breathing in and out, and suddenly felt that he was in an elegant women's boudoir.
The house is lit with exquisite lamps and furnished with tables, chairs and benches made of fine rosewood, as well as exquisite screens, embroidered piers and piano tables. It is the living room of a wealthy family.
Tang Yue was flanked by several serving maids. They were wearing similar light green clothes. At first glance, they looked like little maids.
The maid had a delicate face and a respectful expression. A maid gently poured a cup of scented tea for Tang Yue. Tang Yue only smelled it. The fragrance of the flowers was refreshing, and she was sure that she had a sense of smell at this time, but she did not intend to drink it. .
A little girl with combed hair came up and asked, "Why don't you drink it, madam? Is this tea not to your liking?"
Tang Yue understood, her identity here was A married woman.
When she was about to speak, the door was gently pushed open, and a majestic man wearing an indigo cloak walked in.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help him take off his cloak and offered him tea to rinse his mouth with.
The man said to Tang Yue: "What did madam do at home today?"
Tang Yue smiled and said: "Nothing, just reading books, doing embroidery, and passing the time."
As she said this, she wanted to use her spiritual energy to detect this place, but found that she could not use her spiritual energy. , but she didn't panic.
The person who was deprived of her spiritual roots was poisoned while sleeping and meditating. Before entering this illusion, she was meditating. In other words, this place was an illusion that emerged from her consciousness while she was meditating.
Since this is her consciousness, it is controlled by her. She just has to slowly explore and find a way to control it.
"Madam, if you feel bored, how about I take you to the night market?"
"Okay, I like to see the juggling stalls at the night market the most. I wonder if there is a new team? Come."
"A new juggling class has come to the city recently, and there is a girl in it who can dance on the palms of her hands, which is very clever."
"I'm going to have a look, yes. "Husband, what is the name of our city?"
The man suddenly paused, his face became a little sluggish, and after a while he replied: "It seems that Madam is going to take the husband's exam. Our city is here." Tianfeng City.”
