Qianqiu searched around, but didn't see anyone, but found a medicine house.

The herbs in the medicine house are growing happily, and each plant is showing a perfect appearance.

He helped Yang Xian off the horse and placed him on a pear blossom wooden chair.

"Strange, where have all the people gone. Qianqiu stood up straight and shouted a few words, only to see a bird in the mountains and forests startled, and heard someone answer him.

Qianqiu said to Yang Xian: "It seems that there is no one left, no matter how much, I will burn you some painkillers first." ”

He searched in the medicine house and soon found a few herbs with the right taste.

Yang Xian looked at the dilapidated house and said, "Brother Qian, do you think it's strange?"

"What's strange?" Chiaki mashed the herb and put it in the medicine jar.

Yang Xian said: "This village looks like it has been dilapidated for a long time, but why are the herbs in the medicine house growing so well?"

Qianqiu looked at the herbs in the medicine field, weighed the herbs in his hand, scratched his head, and said, "Old Yang, don't you say that I haven't thought of it yet." These herbs are extremely delicate, and it is impossible for them to grow so well without taking care of them. ”

"It's inhabited here. Yang first pointed to the closed door.

Qianqiu couldn't help but feel nervous and looked over.

At this moment, a voice was heard outside the door.

"Who are you who dare to pick my herbs without permission?"

Chiaki hurriedly looked back and saw a man in tattered clothes walking in with some medicinal herbs.

The man's hair was extremely messy, wrinkled, and stained with all sorts of debris, including sludge, grass seeds, and small insect corpses. The face could not be seen clearly under the cover of the hair, but through the gap, it could be seen that the person was extremely ugly, and his face was covered with rotten sores.

Qianqiu couldn't help but feel nauseous, seeing that this person's clothes seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and the stained things on them were so miscellaneous that she couldn't tell what was filthy at all.

Yang Xianqiang sat up straight, clasped his fists and said: "This eldest sister, we are disciples of the Oriental Sect, passing by Guibao Land, only because of injuries on our bodies, we can't help but take some of your herbs to treat your illness." ”

Seeing that Yang Xian was so polite, the visitor smiled lightly and said, "You little scholar is very polite, unlike the kid next to you, who looks treacherous. ”

When Qianqiu heard this, he was also dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't tell the bitterness, and he said that it was indeed inappropriate for him to collect medicine privately, and he could only let people say a few words at this moment.

The owner of the medicine house put down a few herbs in his hand and walked towards Qianqiu.

Qianqiu's eyes were teary-eyed from the smell of her body, and she hurriedly took a few steps back: "Just say something about you." ”

The owner of the medicine house lifted the long hair on his forehead with his hand, showed his face, looked at Qianqiu and asked, "Do you know some pharmacology?"

Qianqiu didn't dare to look at her face and said, "I understand a little." ”

The owner of the medicine house nodded and said disdainfully: "You kid, you are not a material for studying pharmacology. ”

Qianqiu didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only nod slightly.

The owner of the medicine house walked to Yang Xian's side, reached out and touched Yang Xian's wrist, and said, "You have eaten something bad, right?"

Qianqiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This eldest sister, how do you know that my brother has eaten something bad?"

"Take the pulse, you idiot. The owner of the medicine house couldn't help but scold, "I'll just say that you kid is not a medicine student, and you are still in such a hurry to jump out to prove that you are indeed not good." “

Qianqiu wondered: "Can you still diagnose this by taking the pulse?" ”

"Tonic, I think you'd better make up your brain first. The owner of the medicine house was another mockery.

Qianqiu didn't get angry, she just felt that the woman in front of her was not an ordinary person.

The master of the medicine house took the medicine jar in Qianqiu's hand and said, "Wasting my medicinal materials, you can only delay his pain for two or three days, and you can't cure it completely." ”

"Please ask the seniors for advice. When Qianqiu heard this, he hurriedly said.

"Don't point out, I said, it's okay for you kid to learn some fur, but it's not material for learning a doctor. The owner of the medicine house looked impatient.

Yang Xian said: "Senior, then my illness ......"

"I can't cure it either. The owner of the medicine house dropped five words, walked into the wooden house by himself, and then closed the door.

Qianqiu was a little displeased, and said: "If you don't help, forget it, as for such a number of me?" Lao Yang, I think this woman should have no ability, otherwise why wouldn't she cure the poisonous sores on her face. ”

Yang Xian didn't know what to say, thought for a long time, and said to Qianqiu: "Brother Qian, we forgot to ask what happened here. ”

Qianqiu nodded and said, "I finally saw a living person, but I didn't get any useful information. ”

At this time, a sentence came from inside the house: "If you two can go, go quickly, this is not the place for you to stay." ”

Yang Xian replied, "Senior, we are disciples of the Eastern Sect, and we just want to find out the beginning and end of one thing. ”

The door opened again with a "squeak", and the owner of the medicine house held a large medicine jar in one hand and kept pounding the medicine with the other.

"What's the matter?" asked the medicine master.

Yang Xian roughly explained the situation once, how to say the doubts in his heart.

When the owner of the medicine house heard this, his face sank, and he said: "This is not a nosy matter that you should take care of, now where you like to go, don't stay with me." ”

Yang Xian hurriedly said: "Senior, my brother and I just want to figure out the cause and effect of this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if it goes on like this, that river will inevitably flow out of Dongfang Mountain and enter the world, so many water ghosts, I don't know how many people will suffer." ”

The owner of the medicine house did not change his face and said: "The people are dead, what do I have to do with it? When something happens, someone will naturally save me." ”

Qianqiu asked: "Senior, if you are really hard-hearted, why would you be alone here refining medicine, I guess, you are also here to save people, right?"

When the owner of the medicine house heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "My medical skills are terrible, who can I save?"

"This person is not right. Chiaki said.

Yang Xian said: "Senior, do you know the origin of those water ghosts?"

The master of the medicine house thought for a moment, talked for a while, and said, "Since you Oriental faction is under the banner of helping the world and saving people, it doesn't hurt to tell the two of you. ”

"Please ask your seniors for advice. Yang Xian and Qianqiu said.

The master of the medicine house said: "Before giving teaching, I have to suppress the aura in your body first, I am afraid that you will hear that half of it will die in my place, bad luck." ”

I saw that the owner of the medicine house took out an earthy-yellow, smelly pill from his arms and handed it to Yang Xian.

Qianqiu and Yang Xian were smoked by the pungent smell and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.

Yang Xian asked, "Senior, what is this?"

The owner of the medicine house replied: "This pill can help you suppress the aura in your body for half a month, but after half a month, whether the aura will come out depends on your own creation." ”

Yang Xian hesitated for a while, but still took it.

Qianqiu whispered: "Old Yang, this shouldn't be some kind of poison, right?

Yang Xian shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be." ”

The owner of the medicine house heard the conversation between the two and said indifferently: "If you are afraid of being poisoned, you can not eat it." ”

Yang Xian hesitated again and again, but still swallowed the pill, and said in his heart: "So far, I only feel that the aura of the Broken Fruit in my body is getting stronger and stronger, and life and death are fate, so I will bet on this." ”

As soon as the pill was put into its mouth, it changed its taste, from a pungent stench to a fresh and clear mouth.

Yang swallowed first, only to feel that the cultivation in the cultivation pool began to gather again.

"Old Yang, how is it? is it much better?" asked Qianqiu hurriedly.

Yang Xian nodded and said, "Senior is a master. ”

Qianqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thanked the owner of the medicine house.

The owner of the medicine house waved his hand in disgust and said, "Don't thank me, I hate it when others thank me the most." ”

Yang Xian took the lead and said: "Senior, call Yang Xian under your name, I don't know what to call your senior?"

"I don't have a name, I don't have a surname, I don't want to say it. "The master of the medicine house and Qianqiu are very impatient to talk, but as soon as they talk to Yang Xian, they will speak much softer.

Although Yang Xian looked at Yaolu's face with some relief, he still said respectfully: "Thank you seniors for rescuing." ”

"I've said it all, no thanks, why are you the same kid as that kid and can't understand people's words?"

Qianqiu helped Yang Xian sit down, waiting for the owner of the medicine house to explain what happened.

The owner of the medicine house coughed slightly a few times and said, "Actually, I don't know where the source of this matter is. When I came here, something happened in the village. ”

"Then why did the senior grow medicinal herbs here?" asked Chiaki.

The owner of the medicine house glanced at Qianqiu and said, "I said that there is no one in the village, it doesn't mean that I don't know what's going on. This village is called Yishui Village, and just two months ago, a plague broke out here. ”

"Plague?" Chiaki asked not only curiously.

The owner of the medicine house said, "That's right, the plague. This catastrophe comes suddenly, and the infected person will lose his consciousness, do not distinguish between things, become extremely aggressive, and will scratch and bite people when he sees them, and as long as they are bitten by a person infected with the plague and stained with blood, they will become monsters that like to eat human flesh. In less than three days, the entire Yishui village was infected with the plague. ”

"This ...... It's horrible. Qianqiu and Yang Xian sighed.

Yang Xian suddenly thought of something and asked, "That senior, why haven't you been infected?" ”

The owner of the medicine house said: "I am naturally poisonous, and those monsters have no desire to bite me when they see me. ”

"It's really hard to eat. Chiaki looked at the woman and thought to herself.

Yang Xian asked again: "Senior, where have all these people gone? After we entered the village, we didn't see anyone except you. ”

"It is said that the people in the village ran to Jinguang Village on that mountain. The owner of the medicine house said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pointed to a mountain not far away.

Yang first looked over and said, "Isn't that the source mountain of the river where the water ghost lurks?"

"Not bad. When the entire villagers of Yishui Village were infected, they turned into walking corpses and went to the nearby places with human smells. The Golden Light Village is the closest village to here. The owner of the medicine house said.

Yang Xian cautiously asked, "What happened to the villagers of Jinguang Village, senior?"

"I just came back from Jinguang Village, the situation is not optimistic, everyone who can run has run, and the rest of those who can't run have died in Jinguang Village. The owner of the medicine house said.

"Then those water ghosts should be ......" Yang Xian had already thought of the places where so many water ghosts came.

"Yes, when the villagers of Jinguang Village escaped, they fell into the water, drowned, and turned into water ghosts. The owner of the medicine house said.

The truth was revealed, but the stones in Qianqiu and Yang Xian's hearts were heavier.

"Where is the Fog City?" Qianqiu asked Yang Xian softly.

Yang Xian also replied in a low voice: "Mist City seems to be not far from here, and Hewuxia Town is some distance away. ”
