Danwa was sick, and the doctor in the town couldn't cure him, so her husband took him to other places to seek medical treatment.

Xu was worried day and night, and heard from the people in the bazaar that there was a temple in the suburbs, and the mountain gods in it were very spiritual.

When it comes to temples, she has some impressions, but the temple in the suburbs seems to have been abandoned for many years in her memory, is it a new one?

Thinking of Danwa's condition, she decided to take a look.

On the second day, Xu carried a basket and went to the temple with incense and candles.

When I arrived at the place, there were many people who heard the rumors and came to worship, and most of them were ordinary people like Xu, dressed very plainly, and some even had sad faces.

Xu Shi saw an old locust tree that she was quite familiar with, and she remembered that there was one such locust tree growing next to the abandoned temple in the suburbs, and even the hole in the center of the trunk was exactly the same.

Gao Da Niu once told her that the old locust tree did not have that hole when he was young, and then somehow one day the hole appeared, and it appeared for no reason.

He and Dongzi also drilled their heads in, but found that it was only pitch black and there was nothing.

Xu didn't expect that such a dilapidated temple before would now be so magnificently repaired...... No, it should have been rebuilt.

She looked up and saw that the plaque on the main entrance of the temple was inscribed with the three big characters "Mountain Temple", and the plaque was brand new like the temple.

Stepping into the temple, the temple is filled with cigarette smoke, and there are many offerings on the table, chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, fruits, as well as tea, wine, incense, candles......

There were many people kneeling and prostrating, with words in their mouths and expressions of sincerity.

She looked closely, and the statue of the god enshrined in the center was a very strange-looking stone statue - one foot high, five feet wide, five feet thick, without hands and feet, with a hideous face, and the upper and lower four fangs were three feet long.

What's even more strange is that it stands to reason that there are usually people in charge of cleaning up the dust of the idols, but the idol in front of her made Xu feel a little indescribably turbid, which made her feel a little uneasy.

It's just that when he thought that the life and death of the egg baby were still uncertain, Xu also knelt on the worship mat, bowed reverently like everyone else, and prayed in his heart that the egg baby's condition would get better and he could go home soon.

The people who pleaded with all their hearts did not notice that an inexplicable light flashed in the eyes of the stone statue on their heads.

After worshipping the mountain god, Xu Shi developed a high fever soon after returning home, and the whole person was groggy, and in the end, even his appearance changed greatly. At the same time, people began to die in the town one after another, and people were panicked for a while.

If it is an ordinary condition, maybe no one will care, but the appearance of the dead person is so scary that people have to be afraid and worry, for fear that it will be an infectious disease, and the next victim will be himself.

Of the same group of sick people, Xu has survived the longest, and I am afraid that he wants to see his husband and son for the last time before leaving with peace of mind.

Hearing Cui'er's exclamation, when Zhu Yuanyu entered the room, he saw her standing stiffly on the side, but the person who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed sat up, and the head of the egg baby was buried in the other party's arms.

Xu's eyes were blank, and the corners of his eyes were dripping with yellow pus, exuding a faint fishy smell. She seemed to be unconscious, only knowing that she was holding the egg baby tightly, motionless like a log.

"Mother, are you awake?"

The muffled voice of the egg baby came from his mother's arms, and his little arms moved, as if he wanted to raise his head to look at his mother.

Zhu Yuanyu found that there was a thin piece of fabric next to the bed, and he guessed that it should be the fabric used by Gao Da Niang or Gao Da Niu to cover the face of the egg baby's mother, in order not to scare the egg baby. And when his mother got up just now, the fabric fell off, so Cui'er, who saw her true face, was frightened and exclaimed.

Not to mention Cui'er, even Zhu Yuanyu couldn't help frowning when he saw Xu's face.

Zhu Yuanyu traveled to experience the scenery of this ancient beautiful river and mountain, and to further cultivate his body and mind. Therefore, he has never poured the spiritual power in his body into his eyes to observe the light of things only in the barren mountains and mountains, and he will withdraw it when he insists on it in a place where there are people.

Therefore, when he first arrived in the town, although he felt that something was wrong, he did not pay much attention to it, and only regarded it as an ordinary epidemic, which was too common in ancient times.

It wasn't until he heard Gao Da Niu mention the strange illness that he became suspicious, but he didn't dare to rashly mention that he wanted to enter the room to show Gao Da Niu's wife what the situation was, because he was not a doctor and couldn't find a reason to convince others.

At this time, Zhu Yuanyu knew at a glance that it was not a simple disease, it was very likely that most of the vitality was absorbed, and the residual vitality in the body was fighting against the invading evil qi, once these anger was gone, then she would ......

Zhu Yuanyu calmed down, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and slowly gathered it in his eyes.

Then he saw the cloudy gas attached to the egg baby's mother's body, most of his body had been eroded and mottled, and his internal organs seemed to be festering.

Xu's face was very terrifying, the rotten flesh could clearly see the beating meridians, and the blood-red flesh was slimy. That's not all, the most worrying thing is that the carrion has grown white sharp horns the size of rice grains like new shoots, densely packed together.

Cui'er's mental endurance has probably increased a lot, otherwise she would have vomited a lot in the past, but now she is just stiff and unable to move, and her cold hair stands on end.

Seeing that the turbidity on Xu's body was about to pass over to the egg baby's body, Zhu Yuanyu stepped forward in a few steps, opened Xu's hand with one hand, grabbed the back collar of the egg baby and pulled it back, and Qi Yi caught it in the back.

The child is weak, and the egg baby has not yet recovered from the disease, so he was infected by some turbidity from his mother, and the person has passed out, and his little brows are wrinkled tightly.

Zhu Yuanyu tried to remove the turbidity in Xu's body, but the turbidity seemed to have a sense of life, and when he sensed danger, he actually formed a ball and shrank in Xu's body.

If it is scattered with a talisman, it will even reconverge, as if there is a source that is constantly providing power to the turbidity.

Zhu Yuanyu couldn't, so he could only temporarily seal the turbidity first, so as not to let the turbidity continue to erode Xu's vitality, and then use the healing talisman to cure Xu's rot on his body.

As a result, the flesh and skin on Xu's face slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, first the tiny sharp horns fell on her shoulders, then the flesh began to fill, the meridians were re-covered, and finally the new skin formed the last protective layer...... The yellow pus in the corners of her eyes has disappeared, and the whole person looks like an ordinary person, as if she is asleep.

Cui'er opened her mouth wide and looked at the magical scene in front of her in surprise.

Qi Yi pursed his lips tightly, he felt that the distance between him and Zhu Yuanyu seemed to have deepened again, he was just a mortal, but Zhu Yuanyu was......

"Let's go out......"

Zhu Yuanyu asked Xu to lie down and said softly.

At night, the rain finally stopped.

Li Zhuangzhuang also came back in a carriage.

"Cui'er, bring out the ginger soup. ”

Zhu Yuanyu glanced at Li Zhuangzhuang's semi-wet clothes, as well as the tired tall cow and tall lady.

The three of them drank a bowl of ginger soup before sitting down.

"It's really bothering you, Brother Zhu. The tall cow thanked him.

He looked at the dozing egg baby, little by little like a chick pecking rice, and his eyes showed distress. The big hand hugged the egg baby, hugged it into the tall lady's room, and came out after a while.

"It's not early, Aunt Gao and Big Brother Gao should change their clothes and rest. ”

"Yes...... Do you have to wake up early tomorrow morning...... Alas—"

And they all went back to their rooms.

In the room.

Qi Yi, who insisted on keeping vigil for Zhu Yuanyu, asked, "Young Master, why didn't you tell Gao Da Niu about his wife?"

Zhu Yuanyu took off his coat and replied, "Let's wait until he finishes taking care of his uncle's affairs...... It's just a matter of adding to the annoyance. ”

Qi Yi stepped forward to take the clothes that Zhu Yuanyu had changed, folded them and put them at the end of the bed.

"Then ...... tomorrow"

"Let's stay in the town for a while. "Since it was confirmed that it was not an epidemic, Zhu Yuanyu had nothing to worry about, and he was just thinking about Qi Yi and the three of them before, fearing that they would be infected with the epidemic, so he agreed to leave.

Seeing Zhu Yuanyu's miraculous means with his own eyes, Qi Yi didn't seem to be so worried, and silently walked to the bench by the door and sat down to rest.

Zhu Yuanyu also closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Outside the walls of Gao's house, a fluffy thing floated in mid-air, and it seemed to want to enter, but it was blocked by a faint blue light.

In the moonlight, you can see it clearly.

If Zhu Yuanyu was present, he would definitely be able to recognize it as the strange thing lying on his chest last night.

But it seemed to be a little different from last night, it was much more aggressive, and it was constantly hitting the blue layer of light.

It let out a sharp roar angrily and unwillingly, and the originally soft fur suddenly became as sharp as a thorn, oh it exploded.

Zhu Yuanyu opened his eyes from the darkness, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled softly.

The main house of the Gao family and the side house where Zhu Yuanyu slept, the roof was flickering with a faint blue light - Zhu Yuanyu learned the lesson of last night, and deliberately used two enchantment-shaped talismans to protect him tonight, because he was not sure what was "attacking" him, beasts or spirit demons, and the enchantment-shaped talismans could only resist the invasion of beasts and humans, so he also added a few spells to resist the spirit monsters.

So the strange thing was blocked out of a wall, and it was so angry that it was about to explode.

Finally determined that it could not get in, it slammed hard, and the recoil force bounced it away completely, and then it "touched" and disappeared.

It is said that it has disappeared, but in fact, it is just invisible to the naked eye.

Zhu Yuanyu's fingers moved, and a faint blue light quietly followed the strange thing.
