Knowing that this group of practitioners who came from all over the place came for Shui Liyin, Sheng Yunshen wisely stopped talking.
It's just that although he didn't talk to him, the group of people regarded him as coming for Shui Liyin, and they felt that they were from the same camp. They pulled him to talk together, which was very affectionate.
Sheng Yunshen was so embarrassed that he couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, the queue time was not long, and it was their turn soon.
Because Taize City inspected the practitioners entering the city more strictly, Yi Xuan and the others did not conceal their identities, and directly revealed their identities to the inspecting guards.
The practitioners in Taize City were overjoyed, and hurriedly reported it to the captain of the guard patrolling behind.
The captain of the guard quickly came over and said happily: "It turns out that you are a fellow Taoist of the Scarlet Heaven Sect. Our city master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in, fellow Taoist."
As he spoke, he ordered the others to continue, and led the four of them through the crowd into the city.
The cultivators who had just talked enthusiastically watched them leave without looking back, which was a little embarrassing.
It turned out that they didn't come here for the Narcissus, but because of the madness of the practitioners in Taize City. It was embarrassing that they kindly dragged him on and on and on just now.
—
After entering Taize City, the four of Yi Xuan made a special observation and found that there were few pedestrians on the streets of the formerly bustling training city, and the past practitioners were also in a hurry with tense expressions. The business on both sides of the street was sluggish, standing at the door The clerk who greeted the customers let out a long sigh.
What happened in Taize City not only damaged the reputation, but the practitioners in the city moved out one after another, and the practitioners outside did not dare to come in. No practitioners came, which caused the business in Taize City to be greatly affected, and the income dropped sharply .
Although Shui Liyin's disappearance attracted a group of cultivators looking for her, but these cultivators were only looking for a beauty, and they were not the guests that Taize City was looking forward to. It was really disappointing.
That's why the guards of Taize City were so happy when the disciples of Scarlet Heaven Sect who could help them arrived.
The guards guarding the gate took them directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
The lord of Taize City is a practitioner of the Yuanzong Realm.
In the Shengwu Continent, the practitioners of Yuanzong City are called real people, who can guard one side and are admired by others. Cultivators with a cultivation level like the city lord of Taize City serve as city lords in most of the cultivation cities in Shengwu Continent.
The owner of the city, surnamed Xu, is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a beard under his chin, looking very dignified.
After receiving the news of the arrival of Scarlet Firmament Sect's disciples, City Lord Xu waited early to greet him at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
City Master Xu was overjoyed to see the disciples of Scarlet Heaven Sect arriving, and they were sent directly from the sect master's lineage. Although his cultivation level was higher than Yi Xuan's, he didn't dare to act like a senior, instead he was very polite and treated the four of them very courteously.
Although cultivators generally regard their identities based on their cultivation bases, sometimes, the identities of direct disciples of those top sects are more valuable and they dare not provoke them. Even though their cultivation base is not high, they are still treated with courtesy when they walk outside.
"Young Master Yi, Young Master Sheng, Young Master Ning, Miss Min, have long admired their names."
It's not that he has admired his name for a long time, especially Ning Yuzhou, City Lord Xu couldn't help but look at it more.
This is a genius alchemist who has been in the limelight recently. I heard that all the alchemy he refines are top-grade alchemists. His understanding is so strong that few people can match him. If he is allowed to grow smoothly in the future, he will be a king-level alchemist.
He is even proficient in formations and weapon refining, he is simply an all-rounder, and he will not complain that he will be accepted as an exception by the Scarlet Heaven Sect.
Yi Xuan is a person who doesn't like long-winded words, and went straight to the point, "Master Xu, can you take us to see the group of crazy practitioners first?"
"It's natural." City Lord Xu hurriedly said, "When they go crazy, they just attack people blindly. As a last resort, they have to be locked in the dungeon in the mansion, separated by restraints, so as not to hurt others or hurt each other."
City Lord Xu personally took them to the dungeon.
While walking, City Master Xu told them about the cultivator's madness.
In fact, six months ago, some practitioners went mad, but because it happened so suddenly, it was not taken seriously.
The first cultivator who went mad was a clerk in a Dan shop in the city, and the clerk was a native of Taize City.
Half a year ago, the clerk suddenly attacked the customers who came to the Dan shop to buy the elixir, and attacked other clerks in the store who wanted to stop him. Later, he was arrested by the patrolling guards of Taize City who rushed over and put him in the dungeon.
This happened very suddenly, and the clerk didn't have any relatives in Taize City. He once had a father who died when he went out to practice when he was a child, and he was the only widow in the Hu family. So when the clerk went crazy and was locked up, no one cared what happened to him, it was discussed in Taize City for a while, and soon everyone forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, incidents of cultivators going crazy occurred one after another, especially this month, the number of cultivators going crazy in the city was increasing, so many that even the city lord was alarmed, and finally paid attention to this matter.
City Lord Xu found that the number of crazy cultivators in the city could no longer be controlled, and the spread was too fast, as if it would be contagious, which made people panic, and this matter could no longer be concealed. He had also asked prefecture-level alchemists to examine those crazy practitioners, but he couldn't find out the reason for their madness, and he couldn't cure them.
As a last resort, I can only ask Scarlet Heaven Sect for help, but in fact I hope that Scarlet Heaven Sect will send a heavenly alchemist over.
Heaven-level alchemists are distinguished, well-informed, and more capable than earth-level alchemists, so they should be able to see something.
As for the king-level alchemist, that's something you don't even need to think about.
The king-level alchemist is the top alchemist in the Shengwu Continent, and there are only two king-level alchemists in the Shengwu Continent, one in Qingyunzong and one in the Danmeng.
Taize City is an affiliated city of Scarlet Heaven Sect, so naturally they can't ask Qingyunzong for help, and they can only ask Scarlet Heaven Sect to come forward, otherwise, how could Qingyunzong listen to the request of a cultivation city and let their king-level alchemist come forward? The Danmeng is too far away from Taize City, if you go there to invite, it will take a lot of time to come and go, and you may not be able to invite other king-level alchemists.
In this way, they can only hope that the people sent by the Scarlet Firmament Sect can help.
City Lord Xu was very happy about Yi Xuan and the other four sent by the Scarlet Firmament Sect, and had already put his hopes on Ning Yuzhou.
As for Ning Yuzhou, who is now only a Xuan-level alchemist, not even a prefecture-level alchemist? That's not a problem at all, he's a genius after all.
It has to be said that after Ning Yuzhou's reputation resounded throughout the Central Continent, his ability has gradually been strengthened by rumors, and the rumors became more and more mysterious, making some uninformed practitioners believe him blindly.
The lord of Taize City is obviously also a blind believer.
This made Sheng Yunshen very kind, and felt that City Lord Xu was really a discerning person.
Wen Qiao also felt that he had vision.
Yi Xuan glanced at Sheng Yunshen and Wen Qiao, then silently looked away, unable to bear to look directly.
—
When they came to the dungeon, City Lord Xu took them to the depths of the dungeon.
The dungeon can be regarded as the most defensive place in the City Lord's Mansion. It is safer to lock up the crazy practitioners here, and there is no need to worry about harming the innocent.
When the guards guarding the dungeon saw the city lord bringing someone over, they hurried forward to salute.
"Open the restriction, and I'll take a few fellow Taoists from the Scarlet Heaven Sect to have a look." City Master Xu ordered.
The guard quickly opened the restriction and let a group of people in.
As soon as he got closer, he heard a roar that didn't look like a human being, and various sounds of hitting walls and iron fences.
I saw those cultivators locked in the dungeon were unkempt and filthy, frantically attacking the dungeon where they were locked up. Fortunately, there were restrictions on the iron bars of the dungeon, otherwise this attack method would be broken by them sooner or later.
Seeing someone approaching, the practitioners in the prison became more and more excited, bumping against the iron fence, as if it would not hurt. Their crazy behavior made the scalp of the people outside the iron fence numb, The chill kept rushing to my heart.
Yi Xuan was expressionless.
Ning Yuzhou was calm and calm, looking at the maniac in the prison.
Wen Qiao and Sheng Yunshen were curious and slightly surprised, but they were both very calm.
City Lord Xu looked at it secretly, and nodded secretly when he saw this. The disciples of the main peak of the Scarlet Heaven Sect are indeed excellent, unlike other practitioners, who are always shocked when they see this situation for the first time.
Amidst the noise, Ning Yuzhou said, "Master Xu, have they always been like this?"
City Lord Xu hurriedly said: "Yes, they have lost their sanity, no matter what others say, they can't hear them, they just keep going crazy. When they are crazy and tired, they will go to sleep, but when they wake up, they will continue to go crazy. Attack everything that can be attacked, without pausing for a moment."
Ning Yuzhou hummed and walked in the passage.
On both sides of the aisle were the cells where the crazy practitioners were locked up. Wherever they passed, those practitioners rushed over madly, slammed into the iron fence fiercely, bared their teeth and claws at them, and howled.
The light in the dungeon was white and miserable, which made the group of mad cultivators and all kinds of roaring sounds particularly scary.
Ning Yuzhou looked calm and walked past calmly, observing the reactions of the practitioners in the prison as he walked.
City Lord Xu and Yi Xuan followed behind them without disturbing him.
From the beginning to the end, a total of nearly a thousand crazy practitioners were imprisoned here. Although this number is not large, it is not too small. Nearly a thousand practitioners went crazy together, but they couldn't find the reason. Worried? I was afraid that I would be the next to go crazy.
After the inspection, Ning Yuzhou said to City Master Xu: "City Master Xu, please make an empty room and bring a crazy person there. I want to check it myself."
This is of course no problem.
City Lord Xu asked someone to arrange it immediately, and asked expectantly: "Young Master Ning, what do you see? Is there a way to solve it?"
Ning Yuzhou said softly: "Further investigation is needed to know the result. City Lord Xu doesn't have to worry too much. These crazy practitioners will not be contagious when they come into contact with other people."
City Lord Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! Ever since more and more cultivators went mad, people in the city have been panicking, thinking that they were infected..." Suddenly, he came to his senses and asked with great joy, "Mr. Ning How do you know it won't be contagious?"
Ning Yuzhou smiled and said nothing.
This appearance seemed a bit unfathomable, in the eyes of normal people, it was the alchemist's arrogance, and he didn't bother to explain.
City Lord Xu's heart shuddered, and he didn't dare to ask any more, for fear of offending him.
Alchemists have a high status in the Shengwu Continent, and are highly respected by the world. This has also formed the alchemists' arrogant and lofty character. Most capable alchemists cannot tolerate offence from practitioners.
Of course, alchemist's problems are also common to practitioners.
City Lord Xu's mobility was extremely strong, and he quickly made arrangements to bring a madman over in person.
The crazy cultivator was tied up with a rope, twisting his body, unable to break free, he could only roar like a trapped animal, his face was distorted under his loose hair, his eyes were faintly scarlet, like a wild beast.
City Lord Xu said: "Young Master Ning, do you need to untie him?"
"No need." Ning Yuzhou said, "Tie him to a chair."
City Lord Xu personally tied the mad cultivator to the chair, fearing that he would violently hurt the weak alchemist, so he wanted to stay here.
"If City Master Xu has something to do, he will go to work. I have my senior brother here, so you don't need to keep watching." Ning Yuzhou said.
What City Lord Xu is most concerned about now is the madness of the practitioners in the city. He opened his mouth and wanted to stay, but thinking that maybe Ning Yuzhou didn't want outsiders to see his treatment process, he left wisely.
It can only be said that City Lord Xu thought too much.
Ning Yuzhou just didn't want an outsider to stay here and stare at him. It would be good if they were around.
Sheng Yunshen closed the door, jumped over to look at the person tied to the chair, and asked, "Junior Brother Ning, what are you going to do with him?"
Ning Yuzhou glanced at him, "Of course he was cured."
"Hey, can it really be cured?" Sheng Yun asked in surprise.
Even Wen Qiao and Yi Xuan couldn't help staring at him.
"It depends on their condition. If the madness lasts for a short time, it will be cured naturally. If it is too long..."
Although the words were not finished, everyone present understood that it seemed that Ning Yuzhou could indeed be cured.
Sheng Yunshen immediately became confident again, "That's right, who is Junior Brother Ning, and is there anything that Junior Brother Ning can't do? Junior sister, let's sit here and don't disturb Junior Brother Ning."
Seeing that the matter could be resolved, he relaxed again, and his cheerful appearance made people look helpless and want to laugh.
Sheng Yun pulled Wen Qiao deeply, sat by the window, took out various snacks and spiritual wine from the storage bag, and watched Ning Yuzhou treat the crazy practitioner while eating and drinking, and even called Wen Tutu to come with him.
Yi Xuan glanced at the two people and Yitu, and shook his head secretly, the good senior brother naturally indulged them.
—
The sky was completely dark, and the four brothers and sisters nested in the room without any movement.
At first there were a few roaring sounds, but gradually the sound disappeared. City Lord Xu kept staring at this side, and when he found the sound disappeared, he scratched his heart and lungs, wanting to know what happened.
They won't kill the crazy cultivator, right
As soon as this idea came out, City Master Xu himself was startled. Although these cultivators went crazy, they still had their lives. Naturally, they couldn't kill them unless it was absolutely necessary. Scarlet Heaven Sect is the leader of the righteous way, so they shouldn't do such a thing, right
In the end, City Lord Xu couldn't help himself and knocked on the door.
He found a very real excuse, "Master Yi, Mr. Ning, Mr. Sheng, Miss Min, it's late at night, do you want to go to rest first?"
Yi Xuan opened the door and said, "No, we'll stay here tonight."
City Lord Xu took the opportunity to look inside the door, and found that the person tied to the chair had calmed down and was sitting there in a daze. Although he still looked unconscious, at least he was much better than before.
City Lord Xu was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Yi, what's wrong with him?"
Yi Xuan turned sideways and let him in.
After City Lord Xu came in, he glanced around and found that Ning Yuzhou was sitting at the table, writing something, and on the other side were two people and a monster rabbit. The two of them and the rabbit were enjoying their meals there, so how could it be so contrary to the appearance of eating and drinking without worries
City Lord Xu: "..."
"Junior Brother Ning fed him a panacea to calm him down." Yi Xuan explained.
City Lord Xu immediately forgot about the incompatibility of the two people and one rabbit, and asked happily: "What kind of panacea? Our alchemist also tried to feed them some panacea before, but it didn't work."
"Shaoyang Pill." Ning Yuzhou said in a low voice.
City Lord Xu: "... what kind of panacea is this?"
Ning Yuzhou glanced at him, and said, "It's a kind of positive pill, and it's a derivative pill of Shaoyang Breaking Evil Pill."
City Lord Xu was even more at a loss.
He is a cultivator of the Yuanzong realm, and he has cultivated to this realm, and he knows many types of elixirs, but he has never heard of these two kinds of elixirs. Could it be that this is the elixirs that the Scarlet Heaven Sect does not spread
If this is the case, it also makes sense, after all, none of those top sects have something that is at the bottom of the box.
