Chapter 382 What happened?
"Miss Jiang, please come this way." Chi Qifeng stretched out his hand and motioned her to go inside.
Jiang Yunxi followed and soon saw the records of Pingyang City from a hundred years ago. "Let's look together and see if there are any strange events, big or small."
Immediately, everyone picked up the files and read them carefully, fearing that they would miss any important information, as this was related to whether they could leave here safely.
Jiang Yunxi scanned the bookshelf. There were quite a few records about Pingyang City a hundred years ago. She picked up a file and opened it to read. Then she read the second, the third...
Until four quarters after midnight, everyone was yawning.
"That's all for today. Let's go back and rest and come back tomorrow morning." Jiang Yunxi put down the file in her hand. She had read a lot, both big and small.
But she saw nothing special.
Chi Qifeng took them out of the government office and went to the Chi family. On the way, he told Zhan Beiyuan and the others about the capture of Pingyang City. It was obvious that there was a traitor.
It was only when the Apocalypse army arrived outside Pingyang City that they realized that before they had time to prepare, the Apocalypse army had already rushed into the city.
For the safety of the people in the city.
He had to pretend to surrender first, otherwise once the battle broke out, there would be countless casualties and he might not win.
Who knew that just a few days after Tianqi captured Pingyang City, they suddenly arrived at another place. Although this place was exactly the same as Pingyang City, they still felt something was wrong.
After asking people around me, I learned that every ten years, the people of Pingyang City would inexplicably go to another Pingyang City, but they would go back within half a month.
He had only been working in Pingyang City for five years, so he didn't know about this matter.
Suddenly, he stopped panicking.
But Tianqi's army was in a panic, and the people of Pingyang City were quite united and very angry that Tianqi was attacking the city, so no one told them about the strange things that would happen in Pingyang City every ten years.
They continued to live their lives every day, watching the people of Apocalypse anxious and panicked, looking for a way out like headless flies.
The people of Tianqi wanted to leave, so they had no time to deal with the people of Pingyang City. They just threatened them to find a way to leave quickly, and they verbally agreed to deal with it.
When they arrived at the Chi family's house, the lights were bright and many Apocalypse soldiers were camping near the Chi family's house.
Although Zhan Beiyuan wanted to take action, he thought about the current situation and felt that it was not appropriate. He decided to settle the score with Tianqi after leaving here.
It was a calm night.
But when everyone got up to have breakfast, Chi Qifeng and Zheng Fu came in with serious expressions.
"King Han, something happened." Chi Qifeng said with a worried look on his face.
"What's going on?" Zhan Beiyuan put down his chopsticks and looked at him.
Chi Qifeng said quickly: "People are getting sick, and they are falling sick in groups, like, like, like a plague. People are falling sick continuously."
Everyone present changed their expressions when they heard this.
Why did the plague suddenly break out?
Yesterday, everyone seemed to be in good condition, talking and laughing, full of energy, and they didn't look like they were sick at all.
"The person controlling all this has taken action. They want to keep all the people who come in here... to make medicine." Jiang Yunxi sat upright and spoke word by word.
"Refine, refine medicine... refine medicine on us? We are living people!" Chu Leyi widened his eyes and shivered uncontrollably.
Who is controlling all this?
Why do you do such a crazy thing!
Jiang Jingyan looked at her and said, "I forgot that last time in Ping'an Town, Wei Youli also asked a living person to refine the sword. I guess this person also wants to refine a peerless elixir."
Chu Leyi: "..."
Last time they were refining swords, this time they were refining medicine, what on earth do these people want to do.
"Miss Jiang, what do you mean?" Chi Qifeng looked confused.
"Every ten years, everyone in Pingyang City is brought here, but they all go back after a few days. This is the tenth time, which means it's been a hundred years."
"In a hundred years, no one who enters here will be able to leave. They will all die here. The person who planned all this now wants to use everyone to make medicine."
"Because we are now in a formation." Jiang Yunxi said slowly, his face calm and not panicked at all.
After coming in last night, she knew that they had arrived at the formation.
Everyone: “…”
"Miss Jiang, can we still go out?" Zheng Fu's heart was in turmoil.
"Yes, but we have to find the person who planned it." Jiang Yun said seriously.
Although she could break through here, it would be just like the net of heaven and earth in the altar of the imperial palace. It could be broken, but there would be countless casualties.
Only by finding the person who set up the plan and making him stop will everyone be safe.
"I went out to ask around last night, and the old men said nothing major happened a hundred years ago," Zheng Fu said.
Jiang Yunxi frowned and said coldly, "No, something must have happened, otherwise the people behind this wouldn't have been planning this for so long. Is there anyone here who's over a hundred years old?"
Perhaps only centenarians know what happened a hundred years ago.
"I've been in Pingyang City for five years and have heard of people who are over a hundred years old." Chi Qifeng said quickly, but not many. He only knew of two, and he was not sure if there were more.
"I want to see them." Jiang Yunxi said. She didn't plan to go to the record room of the government office to check again. It would be better to ask the people who had experienced it back then.
Chi Qifeng quickly arranged for his subordinates to inquire, and then invited three centenarians, two men and one woman. After they learned of Zhan Beiyuan's identity, they all saluted.
"Miss Jiang has something to ask you. Tell her everything you know. Don't hide anything, otherwise no one will be able to leave here this time." Zhan Beiyuan said majestically.
"We can't leave here, what does that mean?" The old man in gray asked with a puzzled look on his face. He was already 109 years old, but his health was not very good this year.
He could feel that his time was up, and he didn't care whether he could leave here or not, but he still had many descendants.
"You must have come to another Pingyang City ten times." Jiang Yunxi looked at the other party and said.
"Yes, this is indeed the tenth time this year." The old man in gray recalled the past and counted carefully.
Jiang Yunxi said calmly, "A hundred years ago, someone set up a Yang-stealing and Soul-creating formation in Pingyang City. Every time the people of Pingyang City entered, their Yang energy would be sucked away. This would happen every ten years, and after a hundred years, the formation would be complete. In the end, they wanted to sacrifice our lives to make medicine."
"This, this, who is so cruel... actually uses living people to make medicine." The gray-clothed old man's face was deeply shocked.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask you three elders about this. You've lived for over a hundred years, so you should know what happened in the year 100."
The three old men looked at each other.
What happened a hundred years ago?
"Nothing happened a hundred years ago, right?" the old lady with white hair and wrinkles asked in confusion.
"Don't worry. A hundred years ago was a long time ago. Think about it carefully. Something must have happened." Jiang Yunxi said very confidently.
