Originally, Gu Yao wanted to find an opportunity to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see how these demon worms devour and control the monks, but he didn't expect that a second wave of people came to the City Lord's Mansion and asked the Dan League to go there to help and jointly study whether the monks who were parasitized by the demon worms had the possibility of getting rid of and recovering.
Elder Zhao and his men were angry that the City Lord's Mansion had installed the detection magic weapon without the Dan League, so they were unwilling to go to the City Lord's Mansion in person and only sent disciples led by Ji Bai Ze. Xiang Yidan came to tell Gu Yao and invited him to go with him. Gu Yao certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Ji Bai Ze and others saw Xiang Yidan bringing Gu Yao and his party here, and they were angry. They didn't expect that Xiang grew up in Lingzhou since he was a child, but his heart was biased towards outsiders.
Ji Bai Ze said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that Master Gu Dan really guessed it right. It turned out to be those devil insects that are causing trouble. I hope Master Gu Dan can continue to encourage me and come up with a way to restrain the devil insects."
Before Gu Yao could reply, Xu Chen, who was walking over with Xu Xu, immediately retorted: "Oh, so the Alchemy League is full of incompetent people, and it all depends on my nephew to shoulder all these things?"
Humph, these guys dare to admit that they and the Alchemy League are incompetent, so Gu Yao will have to think of a way to restrain them reluctantly.
Ji Baize wanted to frown, but he saw the monk next to Xu Chen, who was smiling softly at the arrogant and wanton former. He could not vent any anger, so he had to reluctantly retract his angry gaze, almost breaking his teeth. He had never seen a great senior so shameless that he lowered his status to please a sinister villain who was ungrateful, betrayed his sect and forgot his morality.
Seeing that they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, Xu Chen laughed three times, and Ji Baize and others blushed even more. Xu Chen proudly threw a look at Gu Yao, did you see it? He was here to help Gu Yao and Chi Changye. With the little monk here, who dares to be presumptuous?
Gu Yao's face also turned red, but it was because he was trying to hold back his laughter, which was different from Ji Baize and others.
Ji Baize could no longer sneer at Gu Yao, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the City Lord's Mansion.
So Gu Yao followed Xu Chen and became a person
who took advantage of the power of others, and Chi Changye laughed and shook his head. When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the people who received them at first did not realize the identity of Xu, who had restrained his aura. After being reminded by others, they almost didn't know what to do. However, they felt relieved when they saw that Xu did not react to them.
The city lord put down his work and came to greet them. He had received a letter saying that none of the elders of the Alchemy League had come. The city lord was actually quite dissatisfied. These elders were too arrogant and acted on impulse at this critical moment. Fortunately, he had invited many people to discuss the matter. If they could be saved, they would be saved. Otherwise, people would be more panicked.
The city lord was also distracted when he saw a bald little monk. Then he thought of the rumors he had heard. He couldn't help but laugh and cry. The legendary blood-slaying demon monk was actually a great lover. It seemed that this alchemist named Xu Yan was Xu Chen from Lingzhou back then. No wonder his alchemy skills were so amazing.
Lexu looked up at him, and the city lord received his message as soon as their eyes made contact. He just pretended that he didn't exist and did his own thing. The city lord thought about it and did as Lexu said.
This once again showed the difference between Xu and the elders of the Alchemy Alliance.
The city lord led them to the place where the monks were imprisoned. He had no choice but to lock them up in the iron cage surrounded by restrictions. At a glance, more than ten people were imprisoned here. It has only been a short time, and these are only the monks who entered and left the city gate. There are more monks inside and outside the city. It can only be said that the proportion of monks parasitized by demon worms is quite high.
The monks who were invited in first were gathered together and arguing fiercely. The other group of people brought in by the city lord did not attract their attention.
When the city lord led them closer to one of the cages, the monk who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed suddenly jumped up and roared with his mouth open because of their approach. A "hissing" sound came out of his throat, and his expression seemed extremely pure and his eyes were full of oil.
Ji Bai Ze was startled by the sudden situation. He took a few steps back and exclaimed in shock: "What's going on?"
The city lord took a quick look and found that Gu Yao and the others did not react that much. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with Ji Bai Ze and the others who were known for their genius. He explained: "Now it is the consciousness of the magic insect that controls the body's reaction. In other words, we are not facing a cultivator, but a magic insect."
After the city lord's introduction, Ji Bai Ze also reacted with an embarrassed expression. In fact, it is not difficult to guess by comparing the actual situation. He just didn't expect it to be as powerful as Gu Yao said.
The city lord explained: "This demon insect is good at attacking the sea of consciousness of the monks, so this cage uses forbidden materials and restrictions."
The so-called forbidden gods means to seal the consciousness, which is also the method adopted after being taught a lesson. At first, the sharp screams almost made the guards of the city lord's mansion roll on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Isolation formations and restrictions are also used here, hoping to isolate the connection between the brood insect and the mother insect." But it was just a hope, because they didn't know how the mother insect and the brood insect were connected.
The city lord led them around and handed them over to others. As the city lord, he had a lot of things to deal with at this juncture, so he left in a hurry.
Not long after him, Ji Baize also led his people away, but Xiang Yidan took the initiative to stay. He also wanted to do his part, and Ji Baize wanted to report the situation here to Elder Zhao and others.
Gu Yao and Xu Chen naturally stayed as well. Staying in the Dan League was restrictive. Wherever they went, there were people watching them, and they could not come into contact with these monks parasitized by demon worms.
They all stayed, including Chi Changye and Yan Yuanjing, as well as Lao Xu, whose identity was unknown to many people.
Gu Yao met many fellow practitioners and seniors here. Compared with the elders of the Alchemy Alliance, they took this matter very seriously and were worried about
the situation of these monks. Although they tried various methods without success, Gu Yao also learned a lot in the process.
"Dear alchemists and seniors, another one has been sent, but this monk can still retain his consciousness." A guard ran out and interrupted everyone's discussion.
A Mahayana alchemist immediately stood up: "Okay, let's go and take a look."
The ones they had come into contact with in the past few days, no matter how they tried, they only had the reaction of demon insects. They also tried to peel off a demon insect before, but the monk died immediately. Now this one may still be saved.
The monk who was sent in was tied up with a special rope. He twisted desperately to break free in a hunting state, and then he looked sad. When he saw someone running over, he screamed at the guards. After struggling for a while, he shouted: "Save me! I don't want to be controlled by a bug. Save me! Whatever method is fine!" As
soon as he finished speaking, he changed into the demon insect mode.
The Mahayana alchemist immediately said: "Quick, do it!"
They have not gained nothing in the past few days, including the knowledge of the dragon technique contributed by Gu Yao. They use various means to lure the bug out. If there is any mistake, it will only speed up the process of the demon insect devouring the brain of the sea of consciousness.
Under the pressure of the crowd, a shadow of a demon insect really appeared above the monk's head, but it was now in a hunting state, opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, and the monk screamed with every bite.
"Dududu..." Suddenly, the sound of knocking a wooden fish rang in everyone's ears, and a strange rhythm spread in this space. Everyone was surprised to find that the demon insect's struggle and tearing slowed down. "Quick
!" The voice of the Mahayana Alchemist rang in everyone's mind. Everyone worked together and finally peeled off the demon insect after a lot of effort. The monk suddenly collapsed on the ground.
The magic insect was locked in a special box. It was important to save the monk first. After checking, it was found that a lot of black silk was secreted by the magic insect in his sea of consciousness, and these black silks were still further invading his sea of consciousness.
"I'll do it." Gu Yao released a snake insect, which he and Xu Chen cultivated together. Originally, he wanted to cultivate a warning snake, but now it seems to have some deviations and swallowed a lot of black silk secreted by the magic insect.
Perhaps because it had swallowed too much black air, the insect had turned black. The black insect landed on the monk's head, opened its mouth, and sucked out black threads visibly with the naked eye. The whole process lasted for quite a while, until everyone checked that there was no black thread left in the monk's sea of consciousness. An alchemist immediately fed the monk a pill to repair and nourish the consciousness.
Although his life was saved, his sea of consciousness was definitely damaged, and his cultivation would also be affected. But at least he was still alive and had not completely become food for the demon insects.
The monk weakly blinked, thanked everyone, and then fell into a coma.
The steward in charge of this matter sent the monk to another isolated place for solitary custody to prevent any further changes. If nothing happened, he would be released naturally.
This finally brought good news to everyone. Some monks who were parasitized could still be rescued. Everyone sorted out the whole process and wanted to pass it on to other cities to try to rescue more monks. The role of Buddhist practitioners was also emphasized.
Liao Fan and Liao Yan did not find Xu coming to the City Lord's Mansion at first. After that, they came and found that they could not help much, so they had to return to the Dan League and wait for the Buddhist Sect to send news. They learned that their Buddhist practitioners could play a big role, but Xu was in this city, so they hurried to other places to help.
"Really gone?" Gu Yao said in surprise, "I thought they would keep an eye on the master." They were so persistent. When they first learned that the master was in Dongzhou, they chased him thousands of miles away. When they learned that he was here, they rushed back. Now they are willing to leave. It's a bit unexpected.
Chi Changye touched his chin and said, "At this time, they can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant. In their view, the master's affairs may belong to the internal affairs of the Buddhist sect, but this demon worm is related to the entire cultivation world."
