What came out of the inner door was an ordinary immortal who looked very young.
This person was unfamiliar and had never seen him before, but when Ning Tao saw him, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Brother Shenzhou..."
The immortal pointed his finger at his lips: "Shh."
Ning Tao closed his mouth.
This immortal was not transformed by Shenzhou, but Shenzhou was in his body. With Shenzhou's cultivation level, it would be very easy for him to take the body of an ordinary immortal.
Ning Tao's title also attracted the attention of Ci Xin and Song Qingyin, and the two women's eyes also focused on the ordinary immortal. They had all seen Shenzhou, an old man who looked like a longevity urn, but what they saw was just a strange, ordinary immortal. After all, they are not Ning Tao, and they do not have Ning Tao's divine vision.
"Come in with me." Shenzhou said, then turned and entered the back room.
Ning Tao didn't ask him anything and followed him into the back room.
Song Qingyin and Cixin also followed into the back room. The two women were still holding the clothes they were interested in.
Lijian was a bedroom with a window, but it was closed. There was a spider web on the window, and it wasn't known how long it had been since it had been opened.
Shenzhou even closed the door. After closing the door, he said, "Brother Xian, I'm almost dying of anxiety. You actually..."
He didn't say any more, but glanced at Xian Xiang and Song Qingyin, which seemed to mean, I'm almost dying of anxiety, but you are taking two beauties shopping!
Ning Tao pretended not to understand and changed the subject: "Brother Shenzhou, why did you come down?"
Shenzhou said: "You went to the Sky Temple, and you have been there for a month. I once suspected that you were killed by Himia, the goddess of wisdom. I asked Insect Two, but it said no. You are its master, and you are the creature. It can sense it. It told me that you might have come to the fairy world, so I came down to find you."
Ning Tao said: "Then you should go to Dizang City to find me. Why are you here?"
Shenzhou said: "I have been there. Several of your wives said that you were building a temple. They were not sure which city you were in. A man named Zhi Xian'er told me that your last stop was Ice City, so I I came to Ice City to wait for you. As soon as I came, I found something was wrong with this city, and then I got into the clothes shop owner and investigated it secretly. "
Ning Tao's heart moved: "What did you find out?"
Shenzhou said: "The vitality of this city is weakening, but the smell of death is constantly increasing. When I first started investigating, I thought it was some infectious disease, but when I got into the body of the owner of this ready-made clothing store, I Found a grain of death sand in his head."
"You call that sand the sand of death?"
"Did you notice it too?"
Ning Tao nodded: "I discovered it as soon as I came here. Since you call that kind of sand the sand of death, you must know the origin of that kind of sand. Tell me quickly."
But Shenzhou shook his head: "I gave it the name. I don't know where it came from or how it got into people's minds."
Ning Tao was a little disappointed, but this was normal. He, the God of Son-giving who had been to the God's Tomb, didn't know, so how could he expect the timid Shenzhou to know.
Shenzhou continued: "Although I don't know the origin of the sand of death, my natal tree is rooted in the soil. I definitely know more about the sand than you. This kind of sand of death is always devouring people's vitality. Converted into death energy. As for me, the clothing store owner, the black sand in his brain has converted and stored a considerable amount of death energy. I don't know what the person who put the death sand into the brains of the immortals wants to do. , but I’m sure that person is
There must be an amazing plan, or conspiracy. "
Ning Tao fell into deep thought. Shenzhou's words touched something, but he couldn't grasp the thread.
Ci Xin interjected: "Brother Ning, you have great magical powers. Can you use your magical powers to remove the sand of death from the minds of the immortals here?"
Ning Tao said: "Of course one at a time is no problem, but as far as I saw when I came, almost two-thirds of the immortal people have the sand of death in their minds. That's hundreds of thousands of people. It's impossible to take them out one by one. Know how long it will take.”
Ci Xin hesitated for a moment before speaking out: "Brother Ning, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It takes more time to save."
Monks are compassionate, so it's not surprising that she said such things.
Ning Tao said: "If this is feasible, it doesn't matter if you spend more time, but this matter cannot be solved so easily. Brother Shenzhou just said that the black sand has been converting the host's vitality into death energy storage Get up, I suspect..."
"What do you suspect?" Shenzhou couldn't wait to know the answer.
Ning Tao said: "There is a rune on every grain of death sand. I suspect that once they gather enough death energy, they will activate those runes. If all hundreds of thousands of runes are activated..."
"What will happen?" Song Qingyin looked surprised.
Ning Tao shook his head: "I don't know either, but I know that erasing the sand in the minds of the immortals one by one will definitely not work. Before I can erase a few, those runes may have been activated."
Ci Xin said anxiously: "What should we do?"
Ning Tao said: "Brother Shenzhou, please send Ci Xin and Qing Yin back to Fengxian Mountain."
"No, Master, I want to be with you. I can help." Song Qingyin said.
Ci Xin also said: "Brother Ning, I also want to stay and fight with you."
Ning Tao said: "You can't help. I suspect that this matter has something to do with the goddess of wisdom Himya. She is a god who can knock me down to the fairy world. Do you think you can help if you stay?"
Ci Xin and Song Qingyin were silent.
If the opponent is a god, then the only help they can do by staying is a negative one.
Ning Tao said warmly: "You go back first, I will come to you."
"Yes." Ci Xin no longer insisted and responded softly.
Song Qingyin suddenly plunged into Ning Tao's arms desperately and choked with sobs: "Master... take care!"
The collision between the transformed snake clothes made Ning Tao feel a little embarrassed by her, but he still said: "Okay, okay, be obedient and go back to Ksitigarbha City with Brother Shenzhou."
Song Qingyin then let go of Ning Tao, and then bowed deeply to Shenzhou: "Senior Shenzhou, please take us back to Fengxian Mountain if you can."
Shenzhou said: "No problem, but brother Xian, can you handle it here alone?"
Ning Tao said: "Don't worry, the fairy world is my territory. I have defeated all the immortal hunters. I am not afraid even if the goddess of wisdom Himia comes down. You take them back, and I will come to Fengxian Mountain to find you after the incident." ”
Shenzhou nodded: "Without further ado, let's leave the city now. It's not safe to cast spells here. It's safe to cast spells outside the city."
Ning Tao said: "I will take you out of the city."
A moment later, a carriage set off from the back door of the clothing store. It had four people in the carriage, and also carried some cargo compartments filled with clothes that were hidden from others. It swaggered out of the city, and then continued to move forward in the ice and snow.
After leaving the ice and snow city for dozens of miles, Shenzhou, who was driving, stopped the car on a piece of snow. He drew a seal on the snow. After activating it, a sailboat came out of the void and hung suspended.
Stopped above the carriage.
Ning Tao held Ci Xin's waist with one hand and Song Qingyin's waist with the other and flew onto the deck.
The "honeymoon trip" was about to end. Ci Xin and Song Qingyin didn't care that Shenzhou was right next to them. They both rested in Ning Tao's arms, hugging his waist tightly, and couldn't bear to separate.
Ning Tao said: "Go back, don't worry about me, I will come back to you."
Ci Xin and Song Qingyin let go of Ning Tao.
"Brother Shenzhou, please." Ning Tao said politely.
Shenzhou smiled and said: "Brother Xian, why are you being polite to me? Go down, that guy will wake up if we leave. If you don't kill him, you'd better find a way to make him lose his memory."
Ning Tao nodded and left the sailboat with a slight jump.
"Brother Ning, take care of yourself!" Ci Xin waved to Ning Tao on the deck.
"Master, be careful!" Song Qingyin also waved to Ning Tao on the deck.
Ning Tao stood on the carriage and waved to Ci Xin and Song Qingyin: "Let's go, let's go."
The sailboat flew through the void. After flying for a certain distance, the void suddenly tore open, plunged into the fissure tunnel, and disappeared.
It only took a matter of minutes for Shenzhou to take Song Qingyin and Cixin back to Fengxian Mountain. And with Shenzhou's caution, he was not worried about any accidents on their way.
The owner of the clothing store who was lying on the carriage moved and was about to wake up.
Ning Tao withdrew his gaze, put his hand on the forehead of the clothing store owner, and a trace of the power of creation entered his brain together with his spiritual thoughts.
The brain activity that is just about to wake up is relatively active, and there are memory pictures floating in the mind, some dynamic and some static. Ning Tao used the power of creation to erase the memories of the clothing store owner in recent days, and then came to the depths of his mind to look at the black sand of death.
Indeed, as Shenzhou said, after careful observation this time, Ning Tao discovered that this sand of death was indeed devouring the life of the clothing store owner and converting it into death energy.
Although the micro-engraved runes on the sand of death are in a state of silence, once the sand of death gathers enough death energy, it will be lit, that is, activated.
A thought suddenly flashed through Ning Tao's mind: "The runes on each grain of death sand are different. Hundreds of thousands of people means there are hundreds of thousands of runes. If they are all activated, will it happen?" Form a large magic circle, or something else terrifying? "
No way of knowing.
It seems that we must go to the City Lord's Mansion to explore tonight.
Ning Tao retracted his hand. He did not destroy or take out the sand of death in the clothing store owner's mind. He was worried that if he removed or destroyed one grain, the goddess of wisdom Himia might know about it and alert the snake.
After a while, the owner of the clothing store slowly woke up. He climbed up from the carriage and looked around, but he looked confused.
"Boss, are you going into the city? Can you give me a ride? I can pay you for the ride." came a voice.
The owner of the clothing store followed the sound and saw a strange young man walking this way from the road. His ordinary face was full of smiles, giving people a very friendly feeling.
"Why am I here?" The owner of the clothing store said to himself, seeming to be asking the young man as well as himself.
The young man said curiously: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"Uh... I'm fine. Come up here. I can't take you into the city. Just give me one cent of gold." The owner of the clothing store said.
The young man grinned: "No problem."
