Bai Ze
Chapter 238 Missing Persons
"Maybe we can find the dragon bed after we go there, why should I go to your sect?" Bai Ze sniffed: "Besides, such things are treasures, who would show them to an outsider? "
Yuntian Xianzong is known as the first of the nine immortal sects in the cultivation world.
But the bigger the sect, the more rules there are. Thinking about what Zhao Chaoyang and the others said about the past, you will know the truth that "the king of hell is easy to see little ghosts".
Yuntian Xianzong is a giant in the cultivation world, what about Qianjizong?
Not even Xianzong, it's just a relatively magical small sect.
Bai Ze has been in the realm of comprehension for so long, and he has been to various sects of different sizes. He has even met several of the sect masters. The more he travels outside, the more he feels that Qianji Sect He is small, but at the same time, he also feels that he likes his sect more.
At least there is peace and everyone is united.
There is no intrigue, just like a family.
After hearing what Bai Ze said, Yun Tian didn't mention it again.
After the two of them spent the night, they continued to walk eastward and arrived at a place called Qingshui City.
"Wow!" Bai Ze's eyes widened, "What a place!"
The reason why Qingshui City is called "Qingshui City" is because there is a clear and clear river passing through the city. There are two large rivers outside, guarding both sides. The plains are full of rice fields and large tracts of spiritual fields.
The people who came and went looked good, and they were clean and tidy, and the little dolls laughed loudly.
This is a place with abundant water, but the weather is colder and there are fewer people, but the city gate here is not only a land gate, but also a water gate, which is specially used for entering and exiting ships. freshwater fish.
Jiu'er saw a big fish as tall as a person, hung on the prow of a huge boat, staring at it intently, walking back and forth anxiously lying in the cat bag.
With Bai Ze behind his back, how can he not know his movements?
"Hey, such a big fish can be as big as a hundred of you, and you can't eat it now." Bai Ze comforted the little kitten: "When you grow up, I will buy it for you to eat. Besides, this has no aura, so it’s useless if you eat it.”
Ever since he knew that the kitten was not ordinary, Bai Ze has been slowly changing the recipe for him.
Give him more spirit liquid to drink, and feed him more food with spirit energy, so that the kitten will grow up somewhat.
Jiu'er stopped making trouble, but Mia Mia screamed pitifully, which made people feel soft.
"Well, I'll make some fish meat paste for you later, and see if you can eat it." Bai Ze patted the cat bag: "Good boy."
How long has the kitten been drinking milk?
Even if he picked it up right after birth, it's one year old now, right?
Ordinary cats are weaned in one or two months, and they are considered adults when they are one year old.
That's good, they are one year old now, and they are still breastfeeding, occasionally drinking some fish soup.
Bai Ze thought, at least get some aura-filled, easy-to-digest food for Jiu'er. The hair on Jiu'er's body is much thicker than when they first met.
And the whole cat looks much more lively, no longer like when he first raised him, Bai Ze didn't dare to tease him with cat teasing sticks, balls of yarn, for fear that the kitten would get excited and go over again.
Now at least I can tease and pet the cat.
"He's just watching. There's plenty of water here, so there's a lot of river fish. Let's go eat river fish and have some red rice spirit wine." Yun Tian suggested: "How about it?"
Whether it is seafood or river fresh food, it is a little cold. When eating, it must be mixed with a little red rice wine that has the effect of warming and dispelling cold.
Red rice is originally a kind of spiritual rice planted in the hot spiritual fields. It is a kind of hot spiritual rice, and then it is made into wine. This heat has the best effect of dispelling the cold.
But this red rice wine is soft and delicious, like fruit juice.
"Okay!" Bai Ze was already greedy: "Let them cook up another [-] servings of fish soup, the kind that is full of spiritual energy, pack it up, put it in a storage bag, and give it to Jiu'er to drink slowly."
When the two of them arrived in the local area, they went straight to the delicious food, then went straight to the Immortal Residence, and finally went to the Xiuzhen Market when they had time, which became their standard itinerary. Some not precious but rare spiritual herbs.
With such a harvest, he can be in a good mood for several days in a row.
After staying in Qingshui City for three to five days, they continued to fly eastward, and after a few more days, the place they landed this time was called Qinghe City.
There is a huge city surrounded by a clear river, the river is so clear that you can see the bottom, and there are many fish swimming in it, but the city is deserted, and there is no one at the gate of the city.
"What's the matter?" Bai Ze looked around: "There was a lot of people's voices along the way, and it suddenly quieted down. I'm not used to it. Are you all at home?"
Now the weather is already cold, the vegetation is withered, and it was frosty yesterday. When Bai Ze came out to travel the world of comprehension, he spent his first winter in the Northland. Squatting inside, guarding the Ice and Snow Palace, ended up entering a fake place.
He is still not very clear about how the winter is spent outside. Anyway, the residents of the Northland spend the winter by storing enough food for the whole winter, and then it is winter, and they don’t go out easily. The village does not go out.
Ordinary people are not as heaven-defying as monks. They dare to fly in the sky wearing gauze clothes in winter. Cos fairy is enjoyable.
"It's not like, the atmosphere here is very tense?" Yun Tian thought for a while: "Let's go in and have a look."
Now that both of them are in the fit stage, they are no longer fledglings. If they didn't come to the fit stage, they would run for their lives. If they come to the Mahayana stage, they probably have to explain where they are.
"Okay!" Bai Ze was also bold, carrying a cat bag, and entered the city with Yun Tian.
The city is actually okay, but I haven’t seen a few people just walking all the way. To be precise, it’s a few living things. If people don’t go out, cats, dogs and so on can come out, right?As a result, there were no cats or dogs.
Eight out of ten shops were closed signs, and two were simply closed.
The other open shops are also frightening. In the past, the doors of the shop were opened in all directions, and all four doors were open. This is a grocery store. Together.
Besides, open the door to do business, no one would dislike having too many doors.
But now, in such a big grocery store, only one of the four doors is opened, and the people who go in and out are like thieves. .
The things I bought were all necessities of life, such as salt and miso, basically there were no needles and threads, and no one bought food. It seemed that they had stored food and dried vegetables, which were salt and miso. Things like that, or acacia for laundry needs to be purchased.
They are all necessities of life, and if they are not necessities, no one is rushing back with them.
"I'll go in and ask." Bai Ze was so curious, is there any bandits here?Everyone is scared like this?
"Yeah." Yun Tian followed closely, the two of them are used to each other's existence, and the way they get along is also very funny.
After entering the secret realm, Yuntian has the final say.
But outside, Bai Ze has the final say.
Almost to the point of being inseparable.
Although they expressed their intentions to each other, what should they do next?The two of them don't have a clue yet, they are both easy-going people, and it's enough for their relationship to ferment slowly. They are monks, and they live for a long time, so don't worry.
So the two of them like to be with each other more.
Yun Tian generally has no objection to Bai Ze's affairs, he can do whatever he wants, at worst, he just cleans up the mess for him.
The combination of Bai Ze and Yun Tian is very eye-catching.
Both of them are the best choice in terms of appearance and temperament.
Although there are many monks, those with such an appearance and temperament are rare, especially Yun Tian, with a sword on his back, he looks like a swordsman at first glance.
After Bai Ze entered, the owner of the grocery store greeted him, and bowed from afar: "You two monks, welcome to the shop. Your feet are on the ground, and the small shop is really full of splendor..."
He said a set of welcome words, Bai Ze didn't like to hear such vain words, so he waved his hand directly: "Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, what happened in Qinghe City, so that it is so depressed? "
With a "plop", the boss knelt down to Bai Ze: "My lord monk, if you are truly compassionate, I beg you to save Qinghe City! Save Qinghe Town!"
"Cough, cough, cough...!" Yun Tian coughed for a while, "What nonsense are you talking about? Monks practice the way of heaven, and those who are merciful are monks!"
pissed him off!
This Taoist couple has not yet held a double cultivation ceremony with him, and he is about to become a monk, enter the Buddhist sect, and have his head shaved... Who can he turn to for reasoning?
"No, it's the little one who can't talk, don't mind, don't mind...the little one can't help it." The owner of the grocery store burst into tears and wanted to hug Bai Ze's calf, He didn't dare to hug the thigh, because just as soon as he had that intention, Yun Tian's eyes were pierced, and Bai Ze couldn't stand hugging the calf.
There was no other way, the owner of the grocery store had no choice but to reach out and hug Bai Ze's...foot.
White Pond:"……!"
Who am I provoking?
"The younger one's surname is Zhao, Zhao Ziwu. This grocery store was handed down from the ancestors. The Zhao family has been passed down from generation to generation. My son gave birth to a big fat grandson for me. He went out to do groceries with his daughter-in-law and disappeared on the way back. , There are still eight other workers who are missing together, the two accountants, now my wife and grandson are looking forward to the return of my son and daughter-in-law every day, sir, please help find my son." Zhao Ziwu is an old man, he couldn't cry himself.
That's right, whoever's good son has become his own baby and just disappeared, who doesn't cry?
Zhao Ziwu is still a person with the fifth level of Qi training, so it is no problem to live to be two hundred years old.
But the son was passed down from three generations, and the grandson is only one year old, so he can't be in a hurry.
"Your son and daughter-in-law disappeared together with the family members, so it wouldn't make the people in this city so anxious all day long?" Bai Ze wondered, "Is your son the mayor?"
"You don't know that the city lord's mansion of Qinghe City does not belong to any power. The city lord is a local casual cultivator in charge. Eight disciples and sixteen disciples under the casual cultivator are in charge of Qinghe City and Qinghe City. There is Qinghe Town around the city, two villages, Daqinghe Village and Xiaoqinghe Village, are densely populated, they all grow rice, and there are many spiritual fields. Our city lord is a cultivator at the stage of transforming gods, and the eight deputy city lords are all In the Nascent Soul stage, the sixteen adults were all in the Golden Core stage. It was originally a calm and smooth life, but just three years ago, the city lord went into seclusion. The two deputy city lords performed their duties, and they were doing well, but recently, people have been missing in Qinghe City. At first, it was a drunk who came home in the middle of the night, and then it was two watchmen. Now, a team of night watchmen The city defenses also disappeared. When no one came out at night, people who went out to do errands began to disappear. My son and the others are just one of them. Now no one dares to go out after noon. , just disappeared! No way, the two deputy city masters went to two villages, the two deputy city masters went to the town, and the remaining four deputy city masters stayed in the city. Everyone said that it was because there were high-ranking people in the area, oh, our deputy city lords, so everyone stayed at home and no one dared to go out."
To be more precise, they did not dare to go outside the city walls. When they came here, Bai Ze saw that because there are many water veins here, their villages, towns, etc. are all surrounded by stone walls. The city walls are particularly tall, and they are all made of high-quality blue and white stone bricks.
"Then you deputy city lords, didn't you find a way to investigate?" The cultivation world is already small, and if a few people go missing, there will be even fewer people.
This place is densely populated, but relatively speaking, from Bai Ze's point of view, the population here is really not that large.
Thinking about his last life, how many billions of people is there on earth?
His country alone has a population of more than [-] billion!
If a city does not have a population of 500 million, it is not called a city. This is still a third-tier city with a population, like Shanghai, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, where the population can easily exceed [-] million.
This city is very large and has rich real estate, so it has a large population, but Bai Ze took a look and saw that the population is large, but not much, it only looks like 30 to [-] people.
Scattered, there are 10,000+ people in the city, tens of thousands in the town, and tens of thousands in the two villages, which is not bad.
Counting the floating population, there are not many.
"Go, the sixteen adults started to take people out to patrol when they knew that there were living people missing. It's just that the sixteen adults work in three shifts, and it's useless to patrol outside with people every day! The patrol team People are not missing, but others are still missing. Just the day before yesterday, a rich family here, Lao Qian’s family, because they couldn’t bear it and were afraid of death, the members of Lao Qian’s family brought their property, hundreds of people, and they were mighty. I wanted to move to Qingshui City, but in the end, such a large group of people disappeared! From Mrs. Qian, who was very old and over a hundred years old, to the Qian family, who was about the same age as my grandson. Young Master Sun, it’s all gone! Only a lot of furniture and soft goods are left behind, and he was one of the sixteen adults. Master Xu and Master Wang who were on patrol led a team to find them. They only saw things but no one, so they took everything with them. After returning home, it is temporarily stored in the City Lord’s Mansion.” Zhao Ziwu told them both in a low voice: “Now, those who want to move away will not dare to move, so many people in the old Qian’s family have disappeared without a sound, without a trace. If there is no trace, these few of them may not even make a movement when they go out, so they have to go!"
That's why these people are what they are today.
"How many people are missing?" Yun Tian asked.
"It is said that there are hundreds of people now. At first, they disappeared one by one, then couples, and later, groups of monks and adults came here. In addition, our city lord doesn't like to socialize, so there is no one at all. A few friends are retreating again. I heard that the last time the city lord retreated to break through to the stage of transforming gods, it took ten years. This is what my father said..." Zhao Ziwu lamented, "It's only now. How long has it been? In less than three months, people are like this, and in ten years, I am afraid that the city lord will leave the customs, and this place will become a ruin."
Cultivators have a long lifespan, and it’s a trivial matter to retreat for ten or eight years. There are those with high cultivation bases who have retreated for thousands of years.
But in the current situation, the city chief has really been in seclusion for ten or eight years. With his current state of turmoil, when he leaves the seclusion, it is estimated that there will be ruins to welcome him.
Even if it is not a ruin, it must be a deserted city.
"Hundreds of people, so many?" Bai Ze was also shocked. In his last life, when a passenger plane crashed and more than fifty people disappeared, it was a sensation. It took three to five years to investigate the case before it was closed.
"Yeah, the deputy city lords are all angry. Our third deputy city lord is the most tempered. He immediately carried a big knife and went outside the city to scold the streets. He said that someone must be behind the scenes. What's the point of kidnapping people? Can you fight him!" As he was talking, Zhao Ziwu saw that there was no one in the store, so he hesitated for a while: "Master monks, if you two have time, can you, can you..."
This meeting happened by chance, so he asked for help. It was still two monks, so he hesitated a little.
"Needless to say." Bai Ze took a deep breath.
The corner of Yun Tian's mouth curled up slightly, and he knew that Bai Ze's heart was the softest.
With Zhao Ziwu's mournful expression on his face, he knew that monks and adults were all superior, so they didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people like them.
"We will go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about this matter. If something really happens, we will never stand idly by. Whether it is human trafficking or other things, the missing persons must be clarified, even if they are dead. I have to see the corpse!" Bai Ze said seriously, "We're going to the City Lord's Mansion right now."
After Bai Ze finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Yun Tian followed him, he could see that Bai Ze was angry, very angry, Bai Ze rarely got angry, what's wrong?
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Zhao Ziwu cried and thanked him, kneeling and kowtowing behind his back.
Yuntian Xianzong is known as the first of the nine immortal sects in the cultivation world.
But the bigger the sect, the more rules there are. Thinking about what Zhao Chaoyang and the others said about the past, you will know the truth that "the king of hell is easy to see little ghosts".
Yuntian Xianzong is a giant in the cultivation world, what about Qianjizong?

And the whole cat looks much more lively, no longer like when he first raised him, Bai Ze didn't dare to tease him with cat teasing sticks, balls of yarn, for fear that the kitten would get excited and go over again.

He is still not very clear about how the winter is spent outside. Anyway, the residents of the Northland spend the winter by storing enough food for the whole winter, and then it is winter, and they don’t go out easily. The village does not go out.
Ordinary people are not as heaven-defying as monks. They dare to fly in the sky wearing gauze clothes in winter. Cos fairy is enjoyable.
"It's not like, the atmosphere here is very tense?" Yun Tian thought for a while: "Let's go in and have a look."
Now that both of them are in the fit stage, they are no longer fledglings. If they didn't come to the fit stage, they would run for their lives. If they come to the Mahayana stage, they probably have to explain where they are.

They are all necessities of life, and if they are not necessities, no one is rushing back with them.
"I'll go in and ask." Bai Ze was so curious, is there any bandits here?Everyone is scared like this?
"Yeah." Yun Tian followed closely, the two of them are used to each other's existence, and the way they get along is also very funny.
After entering the secret realm, Yuntian has the final say.
But outside, Bai Ze has the final say.
Almost to the point of being inseparable.
Although they expressed their intentions to each other, what should they do next?The two of them don't have a clue yet, they are both easy-going people, and it's enough for their relationship to ferment slowly. They are monks, and they live for a long time, so don't worry.

With a "plop", the boss knelt down to Bai Ze: "My lord monk, if you are truly compassionate, I beg you to save Qinghe City! Save Qinghe Town!"
"Cough, cough, cough...!" Yun Tian coughed for a while, "What nonsense are you talking about? Monks practice the way of heaven, and those who are merciful are monks!"
pissed him off!
This Taoist couple has not yet held a double cultivation ceremony with him, and he is about to become a monk, enter the Buddhist sect, and have his head shaved... Who can he turn to for reasoning?

To be more precise, they did not dare to go outside the city walls. When they came here, Bai Ze saw that because there are many water veins here, their villages, towns, etc. are all surrounded by stone walls. The city walls are particularly tall, and they are all made of high-quality blue and white stone bricks.

After returning home, it is temporarily stored in the City Lord’s Mansion.” Zhao Ziwu told them both in a low voice: “Now, those who want to move away will not dare to move, so many people in the old Qian’s family have disappeared without a sound, without a trace. If there is no trace, these few of them may not even make a movement when they go out, so they have to go!"
That's why these people are what they are today.
"How many people are missing?" Yun Tian asked.
"It is said that there are hundreds of people now. At first, they disappeared one by one, then couples, and later, groups of monks and adults came here. In addition, our city lord doesn't like to socialize, so there is no one at all. A few friends are retreating again. I heard that the last time the city lord retreated to break through to the stage of transforming gods, it took ten years. This is what my father said..." Zhao Ziwu lamented, "It's only now. How long has it been? In less than three months, people are like this, and in ten years, I am afraid that the city lord will leave the customs, and this place will become a ruin."
Cultivators have a long lifespan, and it’s a trivial matter to retreat for ten or eight years. There are those with high cultivation bases who have retreated for thousands of years.
But in the current situation, the city chief has really been in seclusion for ten or eight years. With his current state of turmoil, when he leaves the seclusion, it is estimated that there will be ruins to welcome him.
Even if it is not a ruin, it must be a deserted city.
"Hundreds of people, so many?" Bai Ze was also shocked. In his last life, when a passenger plane crashed and more than fifty people disappeared, it was a sensation. It took three to five years to investigate the case before it was closed.
"Yeah, the deputy city lords are all angry. Our third deputy city lord is the most tempered. He immediately carried a big knife and went outside the city to scold the streets. He said that someone must be behind the scenes. What's the point of kidnapping people? Can you fight him!" As he was talking, Zhao Ziwu saw that there was no one in the store, so he hesitated for a while: "Master monks, if you two have time, can you, can you..."
This meeting happened by chance, so he asked for help. It was still two monks, so he hesitated a little.
"Needless to say." Bai Ze took a deep breath.
The corner of Yun Tian's mouth curled up slightly, and he knew that Bai Ze's heart was the softest.
With Zhao Ziwu's mournful expression on his face, he knew that monks and adults were all superior, so they didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people like them.
"We will go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about this matter. If something really happens, we will never stand idly by. Whether it is human trafficking or other things, the missing persons must be clarified, even if they are dead. I have to see the corpse!" Bai Ze said seriously, "We're going to the City Lord's Mansion right now."
After Bai Ze finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Yun Tian followed him, he could see that Bai Ze was angry, very angry, Bai Ze rarely got angry, what's wrong?
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Zhao Ziwu cried and thanked him, kneeling and kowtowing behind his back.
