Chapter 981: The whole city is haze

People who drank Nanhu water half a month ago began to die of festering all over their bodies!

This news caused an uproar as soon as it came out!

Because it represents the strangeness of the Nanhu water from "mysteriousness" to "malignantness", it may turn from a mysterious and mysterious "treasure birth" and a "wonder of heaven and earth" into a vicious poisoning incident. What is terrifying is that before this, no one of the many practitioners discovered that the lake water was lethal.

This place is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. It was called Hanchuan County in the Sui Dynasty, formerly known as Hanzhong County. It was also called Liangzhou in the early Tang Dynasty. The capital was still in Nanzheng, which was probably the later Hanzhong City and Nanzheng County.

This place is very close to the imperial capital Chang'an, so I believe the court will soon turn its attention and send a special person to investigate!

At this time, Nanhu has four major ferries in the southeast, southwest and northwest. All the boats arrive and go from these four ferries. Ordinary people fetch water and wash clothes here.

But after this incident, no ship dared to come out of the water, and no one dared to fetch water and wash clothes here.

When Anyang walked to the east ferry, the lake was silent, and the green and clear water was still waving, but all the boats were quietly moored by the ferry. The water diversion canal was blocked, and the water truck was directly killed by human stones, as if he had regarded the lake water as a demon.

But there are still people at the ferry crossing, all of whom are practitioners!

Anyang slowly approached and glanced lightly. He found that some people were taking water by the river with porcelain bottles, some were drawing water and talismans, and some people added water to strange elixirs.

He also walked over and bowed and dipped some lake water with his hands.

Lifting over the top of my head, the drop of lake water between my fingers gathered in the sun, clear and transparent!

A woman next to her with a charming face but fierce expression glanced at him and said, "Just come here, the water has poisoned thousands of people in the city three days ago, and some people are still waiting to die. It is best not to touch it!"

"Yeah, thank you."

Anyang nodded to her, focused his eyes again between his fingers, silently mobilized the strength in his body, spit out a short and obscure syllable from his mouth, activate the auxiliary technique engraved in his mind.

"Buzz!"

A three-dimensional art model composed of countless light blue lines blooms from his fingers, extremely complex and has a kind of beauty that is almost truthful!

In just a moment, the model lines were hidden.

But someone still noticed this scene and turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

Anyang ignored these people, lowered his head and recited the syllables of mysterious words, and his other hand outlined obscure symbols in the air, forming a complex and mysterious picture.

Soon, the blue light flashed in the air.

Anyang was silent for a moment, activated several other techniques and inspired a research-like magic.

These techniques and magic did not have the same movements as before. It seemed as if he was standing in place in a daze, staring at the drop of water between his fingers in a daze.

But soon, the drop of water turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared into the air. Anyang frowned and calculated quickly in his mind. It took him a long time to relax and his expression became calm again.

"It's very mysterious, weird effect."

"It actually involves the soul level directly, which is rare for something that seems to be material."

"There is also a toxin that is more yin and cold, and death."

"But the effect is not strong." Anyang glanced at the lake located between the mountains in front of him. "It should have been diluted many times, resulting in this effect being only effective for people below third-level academics. It can only completely eliminate the memory of mortals, and the effect on practitioners with different cultivation levels is also uncertain. But if it is an undiluted "toxin"...

Pussed his lips, he moved his fingers, and a drop of lake water flew out and fell between his fingers again.

Then repeat the previous process...

The woman next to him kept frowning and looking at him, with a somewhat inexplicable feeling in her expression.

"Pretending to be a ghost?"

Anyang didn't know what she was thinking. After several consecutive times, he still did not understand the principle of the lake, but he determined that it did not pose a threat to him, at least at this concentration.

So he put a drop of water on his index finger and put it in his mouth.

The woman next to her opened her eyes and was surprised.

At this time, she was not the only one looking at Anyang, and they all opened their mouths: "Is this person alive or dead..."

After a moment, Anyang put his hand down!

He smashed his mouth twice and licked his lips.

“Colorless and odorless.”

He whispered in a low voice.

The woman closest to him was completely stunned.

Anyang looked around and waved his hand. A lake immediately soared into the sky from the lake surface, gathered into a round water ball and flew towards him, landed in his palm, and disappeared quickly.

Then he turned around and walked back.

Suddenly, the woman called him: "Hey! Do you still remember your name?"

Anyang turned around and smiled gently: "Anyang."

"My name is Murong Zi!"

"Remember."

Anyang turned around and left the ferry.

There were many people behind the scenes.

"I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick..."

"Although he is fine now, the effect of this lake on cultivators is not so fast. Someone has tried it, but then he will slowly lose his memory, and may end up similar to those people in the end!"

"I don't think so. Toxins are not that strong for practitioners. I think his strength is extraordinary. Perhaps at most they will just forget some things."

"Forgot what? What's your mother's surname?"

"Hahaha, I don't know when he realized that something suddenly lost in his memory..."

...

Anyang ignored this.

Then he went to several other ferries, and even took a boat to the center of the lake under everyone's surprise eyes to test the "effect concentration" of the lake water in different parts of the entire lake.

The fact is that the concentration in the west of the lake is the highest, and the further away from the Xidukou, the lower the concentration, but the difference is only a little bit.

If this is considered as someone deliberately poisoning, then his poisoning point must be at Xidukou.

Anyang took a lot of water and then walked back to the city.

At this time, there was a panic in the city.

Because there was very little tap water in ancient times, almost all people had the habit of fetching water and storing it in bins. In addition, communication was inconvenient, so when the people of Nanzheng, half a month ago, learned that the water produced from the lake was poisonous, at least one-third of the people in the city had drunk the "poisoned" lake water.

So at this time, thousands of people had already rotted and died, and more people were confused, not knowing who they were, not knowing etiquette and education, not speaking or moving, and were like a living corpse waiting for the body to rot.

For a semi-closed ancient city, almost every household has people died, and every household has people waiting to die!

The haze of death enveloped the city, with howling everywhere, and no one even beat the drums and music. It was not because they were too busy, but because many people who were responsible for beating the drums and drums and playing the mourning music also drank the water of Nanhu. So the surviving people had to hang some white cloth in front of the door, walk a simple procedure on their own, set up a mourning hall to burn two incense sticks, wrap a straw mat, dig a hole in the mountain and send the dead away.

The coffin shop is no longer available.

No one carries a coffin to repair the tomb.

In the face of such mysterious power, there is no difference between ordinary people and nobles, and they are all dead ends!

Anyang found a courtyard to rest. The people in the courtyard should have called and drank when the lake water had just had problems. They died two days before he came to Nanzheng, and the government sent someone to carry the body away. He then settled in calmly. Anyway, the government did not dare to point fingers at the cultivators all over the city now.

Back in the room, Anyang took out several water balls and first tried to disperse a water ball into various utensils. It was found that it would not change when placed in porcelain, pottery and glassware, but after putting it in metal utensils, it became slightly unstable.

If stored in metal vessels for a long time, the effect may gradually disappear.

Of course, other changes may also occur.

Anyang directly ignored the darkness of the lake that caused people to rot and die. Death was toxins and focused all his energy on its effect of causing people to lose their memory.

It's said it's amnesia, but it's a bit underestimated.

Ordinary amnesia will retain its instinct as a human, and the things in the subconscious will basically be preserved. Therefore, many people can still talk when they lose their memory and use chopsticks. Even if they are serious, they will not forget to walk.

But after drinking the water of Nanhu, it seemed that the whole person was directly cleared. All memories, subconsciousness, instincts, and even the conditioned reflexes established over decades in their lives were all cleared step by step. According to the survivors, those who have drunk the water of Nanhu will lose their memory at first and will soon lose their perception and expression ability until they are unable to walk or even move.

If the most serious amnesia is equivalent to restoring the phone's factory settings, then this is to completely delete the phone's system and also remove the functions on the motherboard.

At least on the surface.

Anyang studied for a whole night, and went out in the middle of the night to take away a civilian who had drunk the water of Nanhu in the name of treatment, and finally came to a conclusion.

There is a mysterious force in the lake water. This is not a spiritual force. It only has a certain mysterious matter and energy that can interfere with the soul, which is equivalent to crossing the boundaries of ability and producing effects.

This is what he is most interested in.

Then he confirmed that this effect was eliminated.

Because in metaphysics, humans are manipulated by the soul, and in science, humans are controlled by the brain. In fact, both exist. As the most essential core, the brain serves as the shell and operating mechanism, and its own memory is stored in the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex, but it will also have a backup in the soul, or vice versa.

The function of lake water only lies in the soul. If the soul and brain can be reconnected and memory can be restored simultaneously, the person will be able to recover after a period of time.

But this process is very troublesome and laborious!

As for lethal toxins... that's just pediatrics.

The next morning, the civilian brought back by Anyang on the grounds of treatment was able to open his eyes and open his mouth to emit some unconscious syllables. When Anyang asked him some simple questions, after some time of recalling, he could express it with blinking, proving that the memory is also recovering simultaneously.

At this time, another amazing news came from Nanhu!
