The First Academy in the Cultivation World
Chapter 156 The Mystery of Taoyuan
It was the city lord's blood that gave the peach tree a hint of spirituality. This should have been an opportunity for the peach tree to gain wisdom, but now the Pingyang Continent can no longer enlighten the peach tree.
So the peach tree created a mirrored city, which is Taoyuan City.
But this is an empty city. After thousands of years of growth, the roots of the peach trees have spread all over Taoyuan City, and the mirror-like Taoyuan City also depends on Furong City for its survival.
Because it is a mirror, no matter how Furong City changes, Taoyuan City will be exactly the same, but this is not a real city after all, and the peach tree has limited abilities, so some things cannot be copied.
So there was no food, and Ling Yan'er couldn't pick up those things after entering the store.
Later, Taoshu was not satisfied with being alone, so he started to randomly pull people into Taoyuan City.
At the beginning, he could only pull one, but later when he became stronger, he could pull more than ten at a time. One of them was the later lord of Taoyuan City.
After the group of people led by the Taoyuan City Lord entered the city, they actively looked for a way out at first. Some of them went out of the city but were eaten by insects, while others searched everywhere but could not find any way out.
Finally, they started to fight for power. The Lord of Taoyuan City was not the Lord of the City at first. The person who became the Lord of the City even organized the victims for a while. However, monks can go without food for a long time, but ordinary people cannot.
At the beginning, they were able to distribute the fasting pills to ordinary people, but without the materials, even the alchemists were of no use. When all the fasting pills were eaten, ordinary people began to force the monks in order to survive.
Because they couldn't win, they were eventually suppressed.
And watching those ordinary people starve to death, the original city lord's heart was broken and he became possessed.
The Taoyuan City Lord and the remaining monks had no choice but to kill the man with great pain.
Among the remaining people, the Taoyuan City Lord had the highest cultivation level, and he succeeded as the city lord. After discussing with the remaining cultivators, he turned the city lord into a puppet.
It was not him who turned people into puppets later, but another monk, because they found that every time one person died, a new person would be dragged into the city.
After being made into a puppet, it will be regarded as a human being.
At the beginning, the Lord of Taoyuan City was able to stick to his original intention, but several good friends around him died one after another. After he saw many people die in front of him, he changed. He began to trample on the self-esteem of others, especially after he was not careful once and was almost assassinated by a mortal.
In a rage, he killed everyone, and then anyone who came in was controlled by him.
Until Ling Yan'er and the others arrived, he didn't give anyone the chance to hurt him.
The forgotten magic that Ling Yan'er was very curious about was because of the red blood moon in Taoyuan City.
Everyone who has been shrouded by the blood moon will be forgotten, so everyone who leaves will be forgotten in people's memory.
Those who still remember have either come into contact with the roots of the peach tree or have been unknowingly enveloped by the blood moon.
After Ling Yan'er finished flipping through more than twenty pages of notes, she finally solved some of her doubts about Taoyuan City.
As for the fact that one person goes missing every seven days or so, it is because a person can only survive without food or water for about seven days.
In addition to these, there are actually many mysteries, but they are not even recorded. Now that Taoyuan City has been destroyed, it is estimated that no one can explain it clearly.
When Ling Yan'er woke up from her diary, the guard who had gone to inquire about the news had also returned. He said in a panic, "City Lord, the city is basically in chaos right now. Many people are discussing missing people. The number of missing people in the city is probably more than we imagined."
Because people suddenly discovered that someone around them was missing. Some people had been missing for decades, while some, like Wang Lisu, had only been missing for a day or two.
Coincidentally, no one was missing in the City Lord's Mansion.
Shortly after the guards returned, the guards at the gate came to announce that someone from the city wanted to see him.
They probably came here for the missing people in the city, and the city lord asked them to be brought here.
Ling Yan'er felt that she had nothing more to do and wanted to leave, but was stopped. The city lord said, "You should stay for a while. They may ask about your situation in that so-called Taoyuan City."
After all, they came here for the missing person. Ling Yan'er, Xia Yunyun and others are also involved, so they definitely need to explain the situation.
After a while, a dozen people dressed as wealthy businessmen walked in. The one leading them was the master of the Jin family whom Ling Yan'er and Sheng Ze had met at the Jin Mansion.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw Ling Yan'er and the others, but then he thought it was natural to see them in the City Lord's Mansion. However, he stopped when he saw the woman behind Ling Yan'er: "Su Yi?"
Jin Suyi looked up and called out in surprise: "Dad!"
Then he trotted up to the front of the Jin family master and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
The Jin family's master looked his daughter up and down. Seeing that she looked unharmed, aside from a change of attire, he asked, "Where have you been these days? Why are you here in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"I..." Jin Suyi paused, not knowing how to explain. She simply took the hand of the Jin family master and walked over and said, "Wait for the city lord and the others to explain to you."
With so many people around, it was really difficult for her to tell her story in public.
The master of the Jin family held his daughter's hand, feeling a sense of loss and recovery. When he saw Ling Yan'er and the others, he remembered Sheng Ze and the others' previous inquiries. He pointed at Sun Youlin and asked his daughter, "Did you know that guy over there before?"
Jin Suyi glanced at Sheng Ze and said, "We've only known each other for a few days and haven't spoken to him much. What's wrong?"
The master of the Jin family felt relieved. It turned out that his daughter and Sun Youlin were not secretly engaged. Now was not the time to explain, so he shook his head and said, "Nothing."
If his daughter secretly married a monk, although it would be difficult for him to see her again in the future, he could accept this outcome.
But unfortunately, the other party may have really encountered a scammer.
The master of the Jin family still felt strange. When Ling Yan'er and the others came to his house, he really didn't remember that he had a daughter, and no one in the family remembered it either. But strangely, today he suddenly remembered that he had a daughter, and he didn't know when she disappeared.
The family seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly realized that there was another person in the house. He could not remember the day when his daughter suddenly disappeared. A house in the house that was usually empty suddenly changed its appearance. It was his daughter's attic.
But before the previous mansion appeared, the servants serving in the yard did not feel anything wrong, even the daughter's personal maids did not do anything wrong. During the time when Jin Suyi disappeared, they were serving in other yards.
