Chapter 64(1/2)
Li Yi comes out of the mountain (third update)
Qingzhou company headquarters.
Zhao Si was sitting in the office drinking tea, preparing to go home from get off work at about time and make out with his fiancée. He had eaten too much dog food in Hanshui before, and he had to make up for the trauma of that day.
Unexpectedly, the company immediately entered the second level alert state after punching in the card.
Something happened again.
Three minutes later, all the company's formal operators gathered in the conference room. It is worth mentioning that due to Lu Haochu's previous meritorious service on Cloud Island and the support he received from special resources, he is now in the late stage of foundation building and has been rated as a special monk.
Everyone takes this for granted, after all, it is earned through hard work.
As a result of eating Yun Guo, Zhao Si's cultivation level soared to the seventh level of Qi refining, and his cultivation speed was three times faster than before. He should be able to refine the ninth level of Qi in half a year. When Lu Haochu found out about it, he praised him for his talent, which actually made him a little nervous.
blush.
I ate a cloud fruit without doing anything. Before it could be completely refined, one-tenth of it went into the dog's stomach.
Lu Haochu looked very unhappy. He had not slept for two days.
"Just now, sleeping sickness also started to appear in Qingzhou."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
Narcolepsy, an unknown symptom that appeared inexplicably a few days ago, was officially determined to be a malignant supernatural event yesterday after investigation. It is also the first nationwide event involving divine souls in history.
The outside world only knows that it is an unknown epidemic disease, and some media even say that it can be cured by sleeping. But as company operators, they know that no one suffering from narcolepsy has woken up so far.
The most troublesome thing about this disease for companies is that the transmission route of sleeping sickness is still there. The lack of confirmation of the transmission route means that there is no way to formulate corresponding countermeasures, let alone countermeasures.
"We're calling everyone together now not to ask you to find a solution, we don't have the ability. But to ask everyone to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle next."
"If the situation develops to a certain level and remains unchecked, there is a high probability that the White Lotus Uprising will happen again. Therefore, we need to always be vigilant about the evil disciples, especially the recent appearance of Blessed Boundless Star Lord."
The White Lotus Riot means evil demons are causing chaos. If we talk about the world, it can only be the incident eight years ago. That year, a large number of evil demons attacked the government office in Qi due to the Jinshan Armor red blood-like virus.
At that time, Zhao Si experienced a curfew for the first time and saw troops entering the city for the first time. Everyone was talking about it, thinking that a world war was about to begin.
"Now every six people form a group, focusing on patrolling several coma shelters and arresting those disciples of Blessed Boundless Star Lord."
Although a solution has not yet been found, they cannot do nothing.
Lu Haochu finally said: "There is no need to be so nervous. According to what I understand, the soul of a person suffering from coma is still there, and the part that is extracted is no more than a hair."
"I believe that the company will be able to overcome the difficulties. Besides, there are so many golden elixirs and nine tripods standing there, no ghosts or ghosts can cause any big storms. No matter what happens, there will be a sword fairy, and the sword fairy will be able to suppress everything."
Zhao Si did not feel that the atmosphere had eased slightly, because the people present were all monks, so they naturally understood the importance of the soul.
The soul is an unshakable foundation, and even a hair may cause irreversible damage. This is why losing just one strand of soul can make people sleepy and unable to wake up.
Maybe these people will wake up one after another after a while. After all, just a ray of soul will not kill them. But the problem is that if the symptoms continue, one ray of soul will be missing today, and another ray will be missing tomorrow. If this happens repeatedly, people will definitely die.
At this time, someone asked: "Have our relatives been accommodated?"
This question is on point.
Almost everyone cast inquiring glances. Compared with the upcoming war, they were more concerned about whether their families could be properly resettled. Many people present were veterans of the military, and their loyalty to the government and society was unquestionable.
Zhao Si is one of the very few who can directly enter the company without going through multiple checks.
Lu Haochu replied: "Although there has been no order from above, there is a high probability that it will be moved to the foot of Shangqing Palace Mountain, and it is expected to start the day after tomorrow at the latest."
These words relaxed the atmosphere slightly.
The meeting ended and everyone left quickly, with Lu Haochu leaving Zhao Si behind.
"Zhao Si, now let your family go to Hanshui Village to stay for a few days, and take my parents with you."
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment and said: "Damn it, is Lao Lu's matter so serious? You were so confident just now."
"Who doesn't know how to speak in a scene?" Lu Haochu rolled his eyes, "The most important thing is that this incident is aimed at ordinary people. There is a high probability that monks will wake up if they are infected. It is really unpredictable for ordinary people to be infected. At present, I
The only safe place I can think of is Hanshui, where a powerful person is looking after me."
Now the well-informed rich people have already gone to Shangqing Palace, and Lu Haochu, as a disciple of Shangqing Palace, naturally knows whether he can protect them.
There is a large formation in the Shangqing Palace. There are two golden elixirs and many fake elixir monks. Although they are not as good as the Sword Immortal, ordinary evil spirits dare not invade. But this time things are extraordinary. The Shangqing Palace cannot protect them.
There is no spare capacity.
If the Shangqing Palace finds a solution, the crisis will naturally be resolved.
"A storm is coming now, so you'd better prepare early."
"Okay." As soon as Zhao Sigang took out his mobile phone, he saw a call coming.
【Brother Yi】
"Hey, Brother Yi... The company hasn't figured it out yet, but it's definitely the devil's fault. Many people had their souls taken away inexplicably... Okay, okay."
After hanging up the phone, the sadness on Zhao Si's face disappeared.
He turned to Lu Haochu and said: "Lao Lu, go to the cafeteria for a good meal later. Brother Yi said that he will solve this matter."
When he came back to his senses, he felt that his nervousness just now was unnecessary. Although things were very strange, it would be okay even if the sky fell with Brother Yi.
Is there anything that living immortals cannot solve?
——
Li Yi hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
"I lost a ray of my soul for no apparent reason. It seems to be an extremely high level of soul power."
What happened was as I guessed, narcolepsy was indeed caused by extraordinary power. And the murderer hidden in the dark was very clever and his methods were extremely insidious.
According to Xiao Si’s description, people with narcolepsy can be found in half of the state, with the longest distance spanning thousands of miles. They mostly occur in densely populated areas. Once there is one case, similar symptoms will appear one after another in the area.
The transmission route has not yet been identified. Coma patients and people who have been in contact with them were immediately isolated, but they still could not stop the spread of coma. This is an irregular and random symptom.
This is an infectious disease of the soul, and modern prevention techniques have no effect at all.
Secondly, coma does not extract the entire person's soul, but takes away a wisp of it. This is its cleverness and insidiousness.
Pulling out a person's soul is not a simple matter. It is more difficult than twisting off a person's head. If only one strand is taken away, it is as difficult as pulling out hair.
For those with great supernatural powers, it is easy to seize the souls of people. To seize the souls of millions of people is like moving mountains to catch up with the moon.
At the same time, it can also greatly consume social resources, cause turmoil, panic, and make the company and the Shangqing Palace exhausted. This is just like letting deserters go in ancient times, and maiming but not dying in modern wars.
The government cannot leave these people alone and will inevitably allocate a large amount of manpower and material resources to take care of them.
And what kind of Taoist magical power can achieve such an effect?
Li Yi's mind flashed through the magical powers and the people he beat to death.
There are many monks among these people who are good at spiritual souls. Ghost cultivators are the best at this method, and their own Yang Shen was also created based on ghost cultivators.
Soon he thought of a demonic technique. This technique can be said to be the cornerstone for ghost cultivators to enter the realm of transformation. Without it, ghost cultivators would only be Nascent Soul at most, and even the golden elixir stage would have come to an end.
"Heaven's heart is determined."
Based on his own birth, he was created by a demon king about three thousand years ago. This man was amazingly talented, and he transformed from a lonely ghost into a demon king.
The foundation of his existence is Tian Xin Jue, which allows him to swallow the souls of others without restraint and rapidly grow his own soul body. The most exquisite thing is that he can abandon distracting thoughts, maintain his true self, and not be polluted by others.
This is no less than the star-absorbing method in martial arts novels. As long as you have enough souls, you can quickly become a master.
Li Yi raised his head and looked into the distance, a ray of light flashing in his calm eyes.
There was an unusual color in his sight, scattered light spots in the village, and the city further away was as bright as the stars.
There are too many people, and there is no incense and fire god like the City God. A slight provocation will cause a storm.
Looking away, Li Yi was not in a hurry to set off, but found a writing brush and some Zhengdan paper left over from the festival to write couplets.
Seeing this, Li's father asked curiously: "You want to write a couplet?"
As a former teacher, he is also interested in writing calligraphy.
Li Yi answered truthfully: "It is written to suppress evil spirits and can cure narcolepsy."
He had to be well prepared before going to put out the fire, lest his home be robbed, and he had no interest in putting his parents in danger.
After speaking, Li Yi rolled up his sleeves and wrote two lines of words.
First couplet: A dragon's pan and auspicious clouds auspiciously cover the auspicious place.
Second line: The tiger is perched on the blessed mountain and the blessed wind blows throughout the blessed house.
The horizontal comment is: Divine light shines everywhere.
Just writing these words made Li Yi sweat all over and feel a little exhausted.
Li's father took a closer look and was immediately astonished. He picked up the couplet and read it over and over again, constantly muttering: "Good words, good words, good words!"
"Dad, help me stick it on."
A few minutes later, Li's father pasted the couplets on the door frame, then moved a small bench and sat in front of the door. While reading, he copied the couplets on the ground with a brush dipped in water.
Behind him, a phantom of a tiger stepped into the courtyard, and a green dragon hovered above the house. If you open your eyes, you can see that the small bungalow on the hillside is emitting golden light.
The next day, Li Yi went down the mountain with his wooden sword on his back. A black car had been waiting below for a long time.
