I became a passerby in the book, and I became a god
Chapter 33 Entering Gulin City
Yu Qiuyi really admires these disciples. Are they practicing their eloquence while practicing? Otherwise, how can they speak for so long without repeating themselves?
Now that we are finally reaching our destination, our ears should be able to rest for a while.
The flying boat slowly stopped at the city gate with the words [Gulin City] written on it.
Since the people living here are all surnamed Gu and Lin, it was named Gulin City.
Although Gulin City is not far from Yuehua Sect, it is the worst city affiliated with Yuehua Sect. It is located in a place where yellow sand fills the sky all year round and the spiritual energy is thin.
Why do people still live in such a bad environment? Because this place is like an oasis in the desert. Except for vegetation within a certain range, the rest is endless desert.
Most of the people here are ordinary people, with only a dozen or so cultivators, and most of them were once outer disciples of the Yuehua Sect.
The city lord is the outer disciple arranged by Yuehua Sect to manage here, and his cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
Most ordinary people here are unwilling to leave their homeland, and most of the cultivators are outer disciples who have been unable to break through in the sect for a long time and have been arranged here to assist in management.
As for why the Yuehua Sect would care about such a barren place, it was entirely because this place was rich in golden sand stone, which was a necessary material for refining equipment.
Bai Xiaoman put away the flying boat only after everyone had gotten off.
It was only then that Yu Qiuyi discovered that Bai Xiaoman actually had a space ring, which was jade white and was worn on his index finger.
When he first saw the ring, Yu Qiuyi thought it was just a decoration.
Aren't all space rings metallic? How come there are jade ones?
In the end, Yu Qiuyi could only say that it was not surprising for the heroine to have any alternative things.
But this can’t be the space ring that the heroine picked up in the cave, which contains precious spiritual plants and the soul of an omnipotent old senior, right?
It seems that it is mentioned that it is white, but isn't that the opportunity for the heroine after the golden elixir? Now the heroine has just broken through the foundation building, so this shouldn't be the case.
Because Bai Xiaoman was the captain, she led a group of twenty people to the city gate.
Perhaps because it was almost the end of the time, there were almost no people entering or leaving Gulin City, and Yu Qiuyi and his group quickly reached the city gate.
When the guards at the city gate saw that they came down from the flying boat and were wearing the same style of clothes in different colors, they began to pay attention to the cuffs of their clothes. After confirming that they were disciples of the Yuehua Sect, they did not stop them.
As soon as Yu Qiuyi and his group entered the city, a middle-aged male cultivator in his thirties or forties rushed over.
It turned out that after the guards confirmed their identities, they sent a message to the city lord.
The middle-aged male cultivator thought that Cheng Mingyuan was leading the team, so he walked up to Cheng Mingyuan and bowed: "I am the steward of the Gulin City Lord's Mansion: Gu De, the City Lord heard that all the distinguished guests have arrived, so he specially asked me to come here to welcome them."
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoman was too embarrassed to speak.
Cheng Mingyuan saw that Gude had been standing beside him, waiting for orders, and frowned in dissatisfaction: "Why are you standing here with me? My junior sister is the captain."
Gu De was startled, then turned to Bai Xiaoman with full apology: "Fairy, I am really sorry, it is my fault that I am shortsighted, I hope you can forgive me."
"It's okay. My senior brother has a higher level of cultivation. It's normal for you to admit your mistake." Bai Xiaoman said with a warm face and nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Gu De, who was originally a little frightened, felt relieved.
His communication jade slip vibrated, and after he took it out to check, he said, "Our city lord has already prepared a banquet, please invite the fairy and the distinguished guests to the city lord's mansion to have a seat."
Bai Xiaoman glanced at all the disciples and saw that everyone nodded slightly before saying, "Okay."
Soon, the group followed Good to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, there were three people standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, all of them looked to be around fifty years old.
The man standing in the middle of the three came forward immediately upon seeing Yu Qiuyi and his group. Gude had already sent a message to tell him who the leader of this trip was. He walked to Bai Xiaoman, stopped, and bowed: "My fellow brothers and sisters, you have come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please follow me in for dinner, and then I will talk to you about the strange things in Tianshang Village."
After Yu Qiuyi and his group boarded the flying boat, the Mission Hall had already informed the Lord of Gulin City that the sect had sent people to deal with the affairs of Tianshang Village, so they began waiting here early in the morning.
Bai Xiaoman responded, "Okay." Then he led a group of people into the City Lord's Mansion.
During the meal, the city lord said a lot of flattering words, and his words were filled with the intention of changing jobs. He hoped that the disciples present could speak well of him to the sect.
Yu Qiuyi and the other disciples hardly said a word, leaving everything to Bai Xiaoman.
Bai Xiaoman neither agreed nor disagreed with the city lord's request. He often smiled faintly and told the sect, letting the sect make the decision and evading the issue.
After the meal, everyone followed the city lord to the meeting room in the city lord’s mansion.
The city lord took out a stack of papers from the bookcase.
He handed the stack of papers carefully to Bai Xiaoman: "In less than a month, one hundred and sixty-seven people have been killed. These are the information I had people collect after their deaths. It contains records of each of their deaths before and after their deaths..."
The city lord paused here and secretly glanced at Bai Xiaoman and Yu Qiuyi.
Some of them hesitated and didn't know how to continue.
Cheng Mingyuan, who was impatient, frowned and said unhappily, "Go on, why don't you say anything more?"
The city lord glanced at Bai Xiaoman, and seeing that she nodded, he timidly said, "The sixty-seven victims were all men. They were all naked when they died, and they had no... penis."
"As for the women, only three are missing. They have not been found yet, and we don't know if they are related to this evil creature."
"Also, most of the 67 men had sex before they died. They were killed one day after having sex. Their positions were... that position."
After the city lord finished speaking, the male disciples present all clamped their lower bodies together unconsciously.
The city lord looked at Bai Xiaoman and Yu Qiuyi awkwardly and found that Bai Xiaoman's face was flushed, while Yu Qiuyi had a blank expression.
This cannot be blamed on Yu Qiuyi. In previous lives, there were some patients with impotence who needed acupuncture, and they were completely naked like that. Yu Qiuyi had seen quite a few of them, and he had no feelings about it. He had seen quite a lot of them, so what was there to hear?
Cheng Mingyuan saw his junior sister blushing, slammed the table and angrily asked, "Who told you to say that?"
"You...you." The city lord felt a little aggrieved.
Cheng Mingyuan was speechless.
Seeing that Bai Xiaoman was still embarrassed, Cheng Mingyuan had to speak again: "Are there any other clues? Didn't you send someone with cultivation to check?"
"Yes, we sent three guards at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Although they didn't have sex, their penis was missing. I went to see it myself, but there was nothing unusual. I guess the evil creature is at the early stage of foundation building. They were also worried that if they left the city for too long, the evil creature would raid the city, so they returned to the city to guard it and notify the sect to request support."
The male disciples were a little resistant when they heard this, especially the male disciple in the Qi Refining Stage who was there to act as a lure. He felt that he would lose what he had in the next moment.
Cheng Mingyuan frowned and continued to ask: "Does the victim's body still exist?"
"No, the bodies of the victims shattered and turned into a pile of sand when touched. Even if they were not touched, they would turn into sand in three days. The latest batch of victims was just three days ago?" The city lord said distressedly.
"Three days? Does the evil creature have a regular time frame for its actions?"
"No, sometimes I kill a few a day and then continue the next day; sometimes I kill for several days in a row; sometimes I kill for two days; sometimes I kill for three days; the longest time is four days."
Bai Xiaoman, who was still blushing, suddenly asked, "Were all the people killed men? Have you ever sent female cultivators to try?"
The city lord hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, she... came back alive." What he didn't say was that her condition after coming back was very abnormal. When he asked what happened, the female cultivator refused to say anything.
Bai Xiaoman immediately asked: "Did you get any clues?"
The city lord shook his head: "She refused to say."
"Where is she now? Take us to see her." Bai Xiaoman asked.
The city lord began to hesitate again: "She... disappeared."
After the city lord finished speaking, everyone showed a look of disappointment.
"In that case, Junior Sister Yu and I are both women, so let us lure that thing out first." Bai Xiaoman said with an attitude of being ready to sacrifice himself as a hero.
As soon as Bai Xiaoman finished speaking, Cheng Mingyuan immediately objected: "That's not right. You are a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If the evil creature is very vigilant and dares not to meet you, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? It might even alert the enemy."
After a pause, Cheng Mingyuan continued: "And you are the direct disciple, why would it be your turn to take risks?" After saying that, he looked at Yu Qiuyi.
