Chapter 78 Jiangshui City

"There are even fewer people in Jiangshui City!"

Guan Yuanbai looked solemn. Yesterday, the streets were crowded with people, but today many stores are closed.

"And many people are sick, not just ordinary people, but even some monks are feeling unwell!"

It's not a plague, nor a serious illness, but I'm more sleepy than usual and want to sleep all the time.

People with strong willpower can still resist, but more ordinary people just want to lie in bed and sleep, and don't want to move.

"Second sister, is there something wrong in Jiangshui City?"

Guan Yuanbai just chatted with the old man who sells breakfast and was a little worried.

The old man smiled kindly, which made Guan Yuanbai not worry about it.

"Don't worry, young man, it's fine. I just feel sleepy and want to sleep. We asked the immortal, and everyone is fine. You just need to get used to it."

The old man yawned as he spoke, not caring about it.

"Although the old man said it's fine, I always feel weird. Second Senior Sister, when you were here before, were the people here like this?"

Guan Yuanbai said with his head tilted.

Jiang Qingjiu was stunned, frowning and recalling.

"It seems to be similar in Jiangshui City seven years ago. Many outsiders who stay in Jiangshui City for a long time will easily feel sleepy and want to sleep."

"But people who have lived in Jiangshui City since childhood don't have this situation..."

Guan Yuanbai frowned: "It sounds like they are not adapted to the environment of Jiangshui City, but I heard from the old people today that many locals are now affected."

"Slurp!"

Shengsheng drank soy milk: "Shengsheng also felt something was wrong!"

"Just now I saw a cultivator in the body refining period fell asleep on the road. My friend called him many times before he woke up."

Normal cultivators don't get sleepy all the time. This is obviously a problem, but others don't seem to take it seriously.

[Has Jiangshui City been invaded by the demon clan now? ]

Connecting to the previous life, Shengsheng first suspected the demon clan.

But Jiangzhou was destroyed more than ten years later in the previous life, so she was not sure.

Although Shengsheng’s mind was much clearer this time, she didn’t know how to remind others.

If a five-year-old girl said something that there was no evidence for, others would just think she was joking and would not take it seriously.

After all, they were not familiar with the people of Jiangzhou, and the second senior sister’s identity in the Jiang family was too embarrassing.

[Let’s look for some more clues. If we can find evidence, we will try to remind others.]

Shengsheng tried hard to move her clean and new brain.

[Hmm, Shengsheng’s brain is indeed much smarter than in the previous life.]

Unlike in the previous life, when she was so empty and wanted to roll on the ground when she tried hard to think, her brain is really flexible now.

"It seems that there is indeed a problem in Jiangshui City."

If the little junior sister’s idea is correct, then it must be the work of the demon clan!

But what could be the problem?

Since 20 years ago, a loophole appeared in the passage, and the demons broke through, but they also discovered it in time. Jiangzhou monks went out to kill the demons and repair the loophole again.

Since then, very few demons have been able to sneak through.

Even if there are, they are only some small demons.

But the current situation is obviously wrong. Shengsheng said that Jiangzhou will be destroyed in a dozen years?

Jiang Qingjiu stared at Shengsheng who buried his face in the bowl and narrowed his eyes.

Perhaps the demons have already sneaked into Jiangzhou.

They may have used some means to hide the truth, and even the mayor of Jiangzhou City did not find out.

"Second sister, this soy milk is delicious, would you like to try it?"

"Yes."

Jiang Qingjiu took the soy milk that Guan Yuanbai handed to her respectfully while thinking. The familiar taste surprised her.

This soy milk seemed to be made by an old man in the south of the city. When Jiang Qingjiu was a child, she was often taken out by her grandmother to drink it.

Although her grandmother was the number one person in Jiangshui City, she was casual and unrestrained, and could get along well with ordinary people.

Because of her grandmother, although Jiang Qingjiu hated the Jiang family, she still liked the gentle and beautiful city of Jiangshui City very much.

"Second sister, when is your grandmother's death anniversary?"

Guan Yuanbai remembered that yesterday, Jiang Yang kept persuading Jiang Qingjiu to leave quickly.

Combining what he observed today and what the junior sister had just said, his sharp intuition told him that something would definitely happen on that Demon Festival!

Jiang Qingjiu lowered her eyelids: "It's on the Demon Festival."

So, she couldn't actually leave.

The Demon Festival is held every ten years. It will strengthen the seal of the passage near Jiangzhou and kill the nearby demons. It is the most important sacrifice in Jiangzhou.

In addition, this is the anniversary of her grandmother's death, so Jiang Qingjiu can't miss it.

And if she wants to completely break off with the Jiang family, she also needs to ask the heavens and the elders to witness it on that day.

As a cultivator, blood connection is a cause and effect that is difficult to get rid of.

And the cause and effect connection between Jiang Qingjiu and the Jiang family is too deep. Without the witness of the way of heaven, it is impossible to completely break off.

"Ah? Then don't we get to leave?"

Guan Yuanbai was shocked.

"Fifth Senior Brother, do you want to run away?"

Shengsheng pulled his face out of the bowl, with soy milk still on his lips and nose.

Guan Yuanbai shook his head: "Of course not, the main reason is that without Master and Senior Brother, I feel that you two are not safe."

He himself didn't care, but he was worried that he couldn't protect Shengsheng and Second Senior Sister.

If there was another incident in Youzhou City, it would be even more doomed.

Sure enough, I still have to find a way to notify others!

But how to say it?

If they were still in Youzhou City, Guan Yuanbai would have just caught You Wumeng and given her a long-winded lecture.

But in Jiangzhou, they didn't know any of the big shots, so who would believe it?

"Alas!"

Guan Yuanbai sighed deeply, and his usually silly face was a little melancholy.

Is the son of destiny destined to bear such a heavy fate?

He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, feeling emotional, and actually had a bit of melancholy handsomeness.

"Fifth Senior Brother, don't pretend to be melancholy!"

Shengsheng tore off his hypocritical mask of melancholy.

"We still have the jade pendant given by our master!"

Shengsheng pointed to the jade pendant hanging around her neck.

Three of them, plus the jade pendants prepared by the master for the eldest senior brother, the third senior brother, and the fourth senior sister, were all stuffed on her.

At the critical moment, if you encounter danger, can you not run away even if you can't win?

What's more, the master said that the power is stronger this time.

He took advantage of the time when the effect of the demon clan blocking the way of heaven had not yet expired, and seized the opportunity to do it.

When Guan Yuanbai knew about this, he almost couldn't look directly at the master.

Who would dare to believe that the master who forced back the powerful demon clan in the sky at that time actually seized the time to make protective jade pendants for six disciples!

If you tell others, people will say with disapproval: Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors!

"Besides, the uncle master is coming too."

Sheng Sheng blinked his big eyes and looked at the confused Guan Yuanbai and Jiang Qingjiu.

"Didn't Master tell you?"

Guan Yuanbai and Jiang Qingjiu: "..."

"I think he did?"

Guan Yuanbai had a tangled face. At that time, Master threw him into the refined blood of the monster. He screamed in pain and tried desperately to climb out, but was suppressed by Master's hand.

During that time, it seemed that he said a lot of things, but he didn't hear a word.

The replay had begun in his eyes.

"Where's the second senior sister?"

Sheng Sheng knew that Guan Yuanbai probably didn't notice it when he saw Guan Yuanbai's expression.

Jiang Qingjiu's usually cold face rarely showed a trace of embarrassment.

"I was refining a weapon at that time... Master thought my movements were too bad and taught me three times, and I..."

He was refining like crazy, and only the materials for refining the weapon were in his eyes.

He didn't listen to a word except for the instructions.
