Chapter 504: Zhaoling Giant City Changes
A middle-aged man, accompanied by the prison warden and several leaders, walked up the white jade city wall together, looking around with a serious expression.
"When did this begin?" the man frowned.
This person looked to be in his forties, dressed in a white robe, with a square face and thick eyebrows, his eyes were as sharp as electricity, and he had a look of not being angry and arrogant.
The warden pinched his handkerchief and kept wiping his sweat.
"Already...... It's been three or four days......"
"There are more than 300 felony prisoners, all of them like this?" the middle-aged man asked again in disbelief.
"Tell Lord Xingchao...... Be...... Yes. The warden bowed his head, not daring to lift it.
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the third son of the head of the Nangong family, and he was also the brother of Nangong Qianyi, Nangong Xingchao.
He was still in charge of the investigation of the murder of the Tuoba family in the city, but he received a summons from the warden Fu Seal, saying that there were strange symptoms in the prison.
In desperation, he could only put down the case in his hand for the time being, and rushed here with his younger brother Nangong Yongyuan.
"Such a strange symptom, such a rapid spread speed, you actually reported it to the City Lord's Mansion four days later?" Nangong Xingchao had a headache, all the strange things had been piled up recently, making him very busy, and the whole person's temper became irritable.
Even if this warden's other identity is a foreign elder of the Nangong family, in front of him, the lineage of the Nangong family, he still has more say in front of him.
Now that such a big incident has happened, the warden actually found out about it three or four days later, which undoubtedly increased the pressure of dealing with the aftermath.
After all, these prisoners are all blood relatives, and if something happens, the relatives need to arrange people to appease them.
"This ...... I also asked Lord Xingchao to atone for his sins, this symptom is difficult to find, at first those prisoners only vomited a little, and it was not until two days later that they became like this...... "The warden himself was also very helpless.
Nangong Xingchao let out a sigh of relief.
He could see that although the appearance of these people had not changed, in fact, their sanity had completely dissipated, and they were no different from those walking dead, and they had already become fools who only knew how to eat and drink.
"What about the other dungeons, water dungeons, and misdemeanor prisoners?" Nangong Xingchao thought for a moment before continuing to ask.
"These areas are fine, and we quickly quarantined the other areas after we found out that the felony inmates had become like this. We've already taken care of the few other infected prisoners. The warden replied hurriedly.
Nangong Xingchao slightly forehead.
This news is a blessing in disguise.
At this time, Nangong Yongyuan, who had gone to check on the situation in another felony prisoner area before, also came back and walked briskly towards him.
Nangong Xingchao looked at him, but saw Nangong Yongyuan shaking his head in disappointment, his brows furrowed tightly.
"What's the situation?" Nangong Xingchao hurriedly asked.
"As here, mortals in several felony districts have been thoroughly infected. Nangong Yongyuan sighed, and then shook his hand at the official behind him in annoyance.
Seeing this, this group of prison stewards hurriedly retired.
Even though it has been a little warm and cold recently, they have already been so nervous that they are sweating profusely, for fear that if they stay here, they will accidentally say the wrong thing and lose their officials.
When this group of people completely walked away, Nangong Xingchao let out a long sigh.
"It's serious, and there are at least a thousand people in this area, plus the area you just went to inspect. It's fine for them to see their own kind, but once they see a normal person, they bite and gnaw indiscriminately, and it is extremely spreading, as long as they bite out the wound, they will definitely get this disease, just like ...... It's like a poisonous corpse in the underworld. ”
Nangong Yongyuan nodded: "Indeed, as the third brother said, I have sent my subordinates to try to investigate, and found that all the infected people, the sea of knowledge will quickly dissolve, and finally be in a godless state of chaos."
If I can't find a way to take root in this way, I am ready to apply for this prison to be burned down completely, and only in this way can I put an end to future troubles. ”
Nangong Yongyuan is an upright person, even a little extreme, and he has always been disgusted with these prisoners who have committed crimes, so he is very ruthless in making a choice.
"No, listen to my brother's advice, now is a critical period, it's better to suppress things first......" Nangong Xingchao rejected Nangong Yongyuan's proposal, "I will divide a part of the clan monks in the future to follow up and investigate the existing clues, and take a look in a few days, by the way, it depends on my father's intentions." Now that the decisive battle of the Barren Ancient Gorge is imminent, Zhaoling Giant City, as the main transportation point in the rear, must not cause chaos at this time. ”
"Okay, then do what my brother says. Nangong Yongyuan nodded in response.
"Let's wait and see, wait for the second brother, the news from the eldest brother. Nangong Xingchao breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and pondered. Suddenly, a rumor that he had heard before, but it was not very inconspicuous, inexplicably surged into his heart.
"Could it be that all this was done by the legendary Hades family? Why did they do this? Because the gates of the two realms were closed? Shouldn't ......?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly confirmed his goal.
"By the way, how is my sister-in-law now, is she okay when she is pregnant?" Nangong Yongyuan diverted the topic and said, "The food cooked in the family room is not appetizing, why don't you just come to my brother's place for a meal, I haven't eaten the food cooked by my sister-in-law for a long time." ”
"Didn't you just eat it yesterday?" Nangong Xingchao rolled his eyes, a little speechless.
"That's all in the past, yesterday was yesterday, why don't you eat all the food of the next few hundred years in one go today?" Nangong Yongyuan said confidently.
"Okay, okay, you're justified, you're justified. Nangong Xingchao was helpless.
Thinking of his wife, who was four months pregnant and insisted on being busy with housework and sharing the pressure for herself, the original restlessness and impatience in his heart quickly calmed down, and a trace of tenderness gradually appeared on his face.
"I just don't know where my little sister has been recently, and I don't have any news back. ”
As soon as they thought of Nangong Qianyi, the two brothers Xingchao and Yongyuan frowned, at a loss, and they were also very worried.
....................................
"Hiss......"
The azure flames burned all over the ink dust, and a large amount of black gas overflowed from his hundred orifices, all of which turned into scorched smoke.
Qiong Lian sat at the entrance of the dragon remains, protecting Mo Chen's Dharma while feeling the flow of power like rolling waves under the Soul Scattering Platform.
This is a rare opportunity to record the operation of the formation.
She stared at Mo Chen's every move, staring intently.
The medicinal herbs that Mo Chen had originally prepared had been completely thrown into the source fire, and a large number of strange flowers and fruits were instantly melted into medicinal liquid, and then penetrated into the faint blue fire, constantly burning Mo Chen's body.
And this flame refining method is a bit inadequate for Mo Chen.
Does it hurt?
It's not as painful as Mochen imagined.
It is not as severe as the severe pain when the meridians are completely penetrated when the demon spirit position karma map is obtained at the beginning, and even the weight of the Buddha Heaven Casting Technique is slightly insufficient.
For him, this pain really doesn't need to be taken to heart.
It is also possible that he has long been in line with the Great Sun Source Fire, and this time the flame refining time is extremely short, and it will be completely over in less than a moment.
As soon as the last wisps of black smoke drifted out from Baihui above his head, his divine consciousness was immediately pulled into another space.
"Hiss......"
When Mochen woke up, he immediately took a long breath of cool air.
"Why did you come back here again?"
