Yang Xian said: "I can't imagine that so many people were forced to jump into the river by a plague, and finally drowned and became water ghosts. ”

Qianqiu turned his head and asked the master of the medicine house, "That senior, can there be a cure for this plague?"

The owner of the medicine house said: "No, I have been here for nearly three months, and I still haven't researched a cure. ”

"In three months, two villages were plagued. In this way, the plague did not spread very quickly. Chiaki muttered to herself.

The owner of the medicine house said angrily: "Boy, the eastern mountains are vast and sparsely populated, so naturally they won't spread much faster. But if this matter is left unchecked, wait for the plague to go a few more mountains to the east, and then you will see if the plague is not yet severe. ”

When Qianqiu heard this, he also felt that he was not thoughtful, and said: "I admire the seniors' heart to help the world and save people, so I hope that the seniors will forgive their sins." ”

The owner of the medicine house stroked his long hair that dried like withered grass, and said disdainfully: "Don't come to this nonsense, I won't save people, and I won't help the world." ”

Yang Xian and Qianqiu also ignored the words of the owner of the medicine house.

Yang Xian thought about it carefully in his heart, and then said: "The matter of the water ghost is almost clear. After Yishui Village was infected with the plague, the people were gone. If these monsters are scattered from here, don't worry about going elsewhere, naturally there are monsters and spirit beasts to clean up, although Yishui Village and Jinguang Village are far apart, but there are still some monsters with the plague to Jinguang Village, and then they plagued the villagers of the entire Jinguang Village, and finally forced some villagers to jump into the water to escape, and then turned into water ghosts who were unwilling to die. ”

Qianqiu said: "This is probably the case, what I'm worried about now is that if this plague-infected monster continues to be infected, sooner or later it will go out of Dongfang Mountain and go to a more prosperous place, and it will infect more villages, and I am afraid that it will be out of control at that time." If this plague encounters a village with cultivators, it is okay, and the cultivators will help deal with some monsters. But once you encounter a village without cultivators, isn't it like a wolf entering a flock?"

Yang Xian nodded and said, "Starting from Jinguang Village, there are no other villages in other directions except the east, they will definitely continue to walk towards the east until the next village and town." ”

"Then I guess there's only one high town left. Yang Xian said.

Qianqiu said: "It's a big town with tens of thousands of people, and there aren't many cultivators, once one person is infected with the plague, it's bad." ”

Yang Xian said: "Brother Qian, even if there are cultivators, it will not help, cultivators can protect themselves at most, and if they want to protect the people, they must develop a good prescription to restrain this plague." ”

Qianqiu and Yang Xian looked at the owner of the medicine house who was fiddling with flowers and plants not far away.

The master of the medicine house put down the scissors in his hand and said, "The overall situation of you two boys is extremely clear. Yang Xian, what you said is right, if you don't develop an antidote, even cultivators won't be able to protect the people. ”

Yang Xiandao: "Senior, can you .......?"

"No, you can't. Before Yang Xian could finish speaking, the owner of the medicine house blocked his mouth and said, "Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with me, I came here to refine medicine only because this place is suitable for refining medicine, not to save people." ”

When Qianqiu heard this, he said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, now is not the time to raise the bar with the seniors, let's rush to Jinguang Village as soon as possible to see if we can understand the situation, and then curb the spread of this trend first, and then study the antidote." ”

At this time, the owner of the medicine house spoke, and said: "There are only two of you, and those monsters now have hundreds or thousands, so it is up to the two of you to break them?"

Qianqiu said: "Even if you can't break it, you have to try, you can't watch these monsters harm the people like this, right? ”

Yang Xian gave a salute to the master of the medicine house and said, "Thank you seniors for giving you medicine, we will take the first step." ”

"Go, go, don't get in my way here. The owner of the medicine house then walked into the house.

The two of them didn't care about the attitude of the owner of the medicine house, and galloped all the way, following the river towards Jinguang Village.

On the way, Qianqiu asked, "Old Yang, do you think this person is a little strange?"

Yang Xian said: "This senior is a little sloppy, but I can't think of the problem for a while. ”

Qianqiu said: "She obviously can't even cure the poisonous sores on her body, why can she suppress the aura emanation of the severed fruit in your body?"

Yang Xian sighed and said, "I don't have time to think about it so much now, that senior's words are full of disdain for saving people, but he is actually studying the antidote, which is really a bit difficult to understand." ”

Qianqiu guessed, "You say, this plague should be caused by her, right?"

Yang Xian shook his head and said, "It's not good to say right now, although she helped me, I always feel that she has something to hide from us." ”

While the two were talking, they ran to Jinguang Village along the coast.

"This Jinguang Village must be here. Yang Xian pointed to the small village in front of him.

Qianqiu hugged her shoulders, looked at it for a long time, and said, "It looks like an empty village, is it really the same as the woman said, the villagers are all dead, or have they all become monsters?"

Yang first raised his nose, sniffed it carefully, and said, "What a strong smell of blood." ”

Qianqiu also sniffed it and said, "It's from Jinguang Village, let's go and take a look, maybe there are still surviving villagers." ”

The two of them walked into Jinguang Village.

As soon as they stepped into Jinguang Village, the two of them smelled the smell of blood rushing to their faces.

The two of them walked along a wider road in the village.

Along the way, some bodies were found.

Qianqiu and Yang first tore off some strips of cloth and covered their mouths and noses.

Chiaki walked over to a corpse in a terrible state of death and investigated.

"There were a lot of bite marks on the body, which looked like they were caused by human teeth being bitten. This neck was the most torn, and the flesh was turned out. Looking at the extent of the blood clotting, I have been dead for a while. Chiaki was investigating and analyzing in her heart.

At this time, Yang Xian exhaled Qianqiu: "Brother Qian, there is a monster corpse here." ”

Chiaki hurriedly got up, walked over, and investigated.

The appearance of the corpse in front of me is not very different from that of ordinary people, only a bite mark on the throat, but the back of the head is sunken in, and there are many scratches on the body, presumably a lot of things have been scraped.

Looking at the difference, although the monster resembles a human, his eyes are blurred and he can't see the position of the eyeballs clearly, and his teeth have turned into terrifying fangs, and there is flesh hanging from the fangs.

Yang Xian stood up and said, "This monster is also human, it seems that someone else hit the back of the head before he died." ”

Qianqiu was a little disgusted, and said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, even if there are any delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of my eyes now, I have no appetite. ”

Yang Xian said helplessly: "Me too." However, seeing so many corpses made me more worried. The combat effectiveness of this plague-infected monster is not low, you see that this village is not lightly harmed. Many houses have collapsed. ”

Qianqiu said: "Lao Yang, let's take a look first, there are still people in this village who have not survived, if there are still people, let's take them to the next village that has not been attacked by plagues or monsters." ”

The two searched for it in the village.

Qianqiu and Yang first agreed to meet at the entrance of the village in half an hour, and the two began to act separately.

Qianqiu tore off the strip of cloth and said in her heart, "If you will be infected by this air, I don't think this strip of cloth will be useful." ”

After turning a few side streets, he found only a ruined house, but not a single person alive.

Qianqiu Xin said: "Presumably these monsters must be gone, but none of them are left alive." ”

Half an hour later, Yang Xian and Qianqiu met at the entrance of the village.

Yang Xian sighed and said, "No, I tried to shout a few words, but no one answered." ”

Qianqiu said: "It is likely that the incident happened suddenly, and the villagers did not react, otherwise how could there be so many water ghosts." ”

Yang Xian said worriedly: "It seems that these monsters are likely to go to the next village with a smell of people, as the senior said." ”

Qianqiu nodded and said, "The closest to Jinguang Village is Gao Zhen, right?"

Yang Xian recalled: "I looked at the map of Dongfang Mountain at that time, and the nearest village in Jinguang Village is Yishui, and the other is Sihua Village!"

"Shouldn't it be Takajin?" asked Chiaki.

Yang Xian clapped his hands and said, "The village of Sihua Village is small, with only a few hundred people, and I forgot about it in a hurry. ”

"Let's go! If we can meet these monsters on the road, we can solve them on the spot anyway, and we can save the whole village. Chiaki said.

Yang Xian suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qianqiu hurriedly supported Yang Xian and asked, "Old Yang, are you okay, aren't you suppressed?"

Yang Xian waved his hand and said, "Maybe I just caught up with the road, and the medicine given by my predecessors was a little distributed." ”

Qianqiu said angrily: "If that ugly quack doctor deliberately harms you, I can't spare her!"

Yang first pressed the back of Qianqiu's hand and said, "Don't get in the way, let's hurry up and get on the road!"

The two rode with knives and galloped all the way, climbing two mountains, and did not encounter any monsters along the way.

There is still half a mile away from Sihua Village, and the sharp-eyed Qianqiu looks at the movement of Sihua Village not far away.

Qianqiu hurriedly said: "Old Yang, there is movement in Sihua Village! Maybe those monsters are doing it!"

Yang Xian nodded and said, "Let's hurry up!"

In an instant, the two arrived at the entrance of Sihua Village.

Sihua Village is built in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is very low, so Qianqiu can see the situation inside at a glance.

"Help!

At a glance, the two saw that a villager in the village was being chased by a group of monsters.

The two of them kicked their feet, flew into the air, and landed next to the villagers, and one of them lifted the villager with one hand and jumped onto the roof on the side.

As soon as the monster at his feet saw the duck in his hand flying, he roared angrily at the two people on the roof.

Qianqiu frowned, looked at the dozens of monsters below and said, "It turns out that these are those monsters." ”

I saw that these monsters are not very different from people, the biggest difference is their eyes and teeth.

The villagers who had palpitations had not calmed down their panicked mood, and kept shouting: "The corpse has changed! The corpse has changed!"

Yang Xian hurriedly reassured the villagers and said, "This big brother, you tell me slowly, what is going on. ”

The villagers gasped for breath while constantly wiping their sweat with their hands, staring blankly ahead, and then continued: "I...... I didn't return from the field all night, and when I came back, I saw the dead alive!"

Qianqiu and Yang first glanced at each other, a little puzzled.

Qianqiu said: "This big brother, you speak slowly, tell me the cause and effect of the matter, and we can help you." ”

The villagers were in a trance for a while, and finally calmed down a little and said, "Two young heroes, save my mother and daughter, they are still at home!"

When Qianqiu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Big brother, calm down." Where do you live, come on, I'll help you find your wife and daughter. ”

The villager pointed to a short distance with his hand and said, "The one with a flag on the roof is my family, Shaoxia, please, save them quickly." After saying that, the villagers knelt down and kept kowtowing.

Yang Xian hurriedly helped the villagers up and said, "We can't afford this big gift, you get up quickly." ”

Qianqiu said: "Lao Yang, you ask about the situation here, and I'll go to save people first." ”

Yang Xian nodded.

Chiaki drew his sword and floated down the house, and as soon as the monsters on the road saw Chiaki coming down, they rushed towards him.

Yang Xian looked at the nervous and flustered villager in front of him, and said comfortingly: "We are disciples of the Eastern Sect, my name is Yang Xian." Don't worry, big brother, be sure to tell me carefully and carefully, so that we can help you. ”

The villager swallowed his saliva and said, "Thank you Yang Shaoxia, my name is Wang Xiaoqi, and I am a farmer in Sihua Village. I went out from my house yesterday morning to plow the fields, and before I knew it, it was night. There was a house in the field, I was tired and rested in the house on the ground for the night, and the next day I wanted to come back to see my mother and daughter, who knew that when I entered the village, I found that something was wrong. ”
