Bai Xue looked at Mu Yan and didn't speak, didn't answer, but looked at herself with deep eyes, and didn't say anything anymore, so she planned to turn around and leave. But he didn't want to take a few steps, Mu Yan said behind him: "You are a woman, you shouldn't behave like this, don't ruin the door." ”

Bai Xue paused, ruining the door? I really don't know how to make her answer. Moreover, how could this immortal cultivator still be so conservative.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and then she left, thinking, it seems that in the future, it will be better to do less out-of-line behavior in front of him. lest the man be unbearable.

The night passed, the sky was slightly bright, and Mu Yan and the others set off. They were still flying with their respective edges, and after half a day, they saw a town in the distance.

It wasn't until they approached this town that Bai Xue and the others understood how serious the plague was in the northwest region.

This is a big city, called Cangtong Town, it is noon at this time, but the city gate is still half-covered, leaving only a few people-wide passages, waiting in front of the passage is not others, there are many mortals, but these mortals have something in common, that is, almost all of them are some people with a sluggish breath.

The four of them quietly landed outside the city gate, because there were many mortals surrounding the city gate, so the quiet landing of the four did not attract the attention of others. Then the four of them heard many people shouting to the guards at the gates: "Why don't you let us in, let us in!"

The shouts came and went, and they came and went, all words of hope to be able to get in. And Bai Xue also discovered at this time that these people not only had a sluggish breath, but also had different degrees of ulceration on their faces or bodies, and they also emitted a foul smell.

Mu Yan and Xiu Ye also frowned, obviously noticing this unusual scene.

"I'm afraid, this is not a simple plague. Red Scales said faintly in Bai Xue's sleeve.

Well?

Bai Xue was puzzled, but Red Scale didn't say anything more.

At this time, Mu Yan also beckoned everyone: "Go." Then he passed over all the mortals and flew to the gates of the city. The mortals below saw Mu Yan and the others flying away, and they all cast hateful glances.

This plague has escalated the conflict between mortals and monks. Although mortals are nothing more than ants that can be destroyed by turning their hands to monks, mortals are also the foundation of monks.

The people guarding the city gate were a few ordinary disciples of the fusion period, who looked at the mortals surrounding the city gate indifferently, and looked straight when they saw Mu Yan and others flying over, and then soon a few people recognized Mu Yan and a few people, and greeted them respectfully: "It turned out to be Mu Gongzi, Xiu Gongzi, and the white fairy and the fire fairy, I don't know that the four of them came from afar, and they didn't go to greet them, it was a small mistake." ”

Mu Yan's face was cold, and he waved his hand to interrupt him, "Let's go into the city." ”

The man nodded respectfully, and then said: "Master Mu, that's the case, our city lord has been waiting for you in the city lord's mansion for a long time, and warned the little ones that if they see you, they must invite you to the city lord's mansion." ”

Mu Yan thought for two seconds, then nodded.

When you first arrive, you can also learn some more detailed information from the mouth of the city lord.

One of the people guarding the city took Mu Yan and others into the city, and after entering the city, it was not the imaginary crowd, but a lifeless look, and the people who walked were all monks, but Bai Xue found that many monks had the same symptoms on their faces or other parts as the mortals outside the city gate, rotting, stenching, and even excessive.

"What's going on?" Huo Kui couldn't help but ask on the side, asking the doubts in a few people's hearts.

It is understandable for mortals to be infected with this plague, and mortals, whose bodies are weak, cannot resist the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death. Don't say that on the continent of Khotan, even on the snowy earth, there is a large-scale infectious disease such as plague. However, the monks have detached themselves from the most fundamental mortal bodies, and have strengthened themselves with the essence of heaven and earth, and ordinary diseases cannot help them at all.

The man's face turned gloomy when he heard the question, and he said, "The little one only knows that this disease is coming from a distant place, but he doesn't know the specific cause, so let the city lord tell you." ”

The man didn't seem to want to say more, so he said only one sentence and said no more.

When he walked to the city lord's mansion, the city lord was already standing in the doorway, it was a beautiful woman who looked to be thirty years old, she was graceful, and her charm was still there, so that people could not tell her actual age. Her cultivation was in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, which was consistent with Mu Yan's cultivation.

Is this the city lord? It's just a cultivation in the middle of the Yuan Infant Stage. Bai Xue thought secretly in her heart.

Due to the reason of Xueli Town, Bai Xue mistakenly thought that the cultivation of all the city masters of the big cities should be above the merger period, but in fact, this is her mistake, not every city lord is a merger period of cultivation. The monks of the combined period of the Khotanese continent are not cabbages, these monks are generally elders in the sect, and even if there are outside the continent, they are cultivating in the deep mountains and old forests. And there are so many towns and cities on the mainland, could it be that all of them are monks in the merge period? I have to say that this is the consistent thinking of the red scales that has influenced Bai Xue, and in the Great Thousand or Middle Thousand Worlds, this combined monk is really nothing.

The beautiful woman smiled lightly when she saw Mu Yan and the others, and stepped forward, "You are worthy of being a genius disciple of the Wanshan Sect, and your demeanor is not comparable to ordinary people, so let me be ashamed." ”

Although this woman looks like she is only in her thirties, she actually doesn't know how many years she has been cultivating, I'm afraid that her actual age is no less than hundreds of years, but Mu Yan and the others are really in their twenties, and their talents can't be the same, and it is not a chance for everyone to please a genius.

Mu Yan nodded at her and said, "Master Hongzhen is humble. "Before coming, Mu Yan and the others already knew the name of the city lord of Cangtong Town.

The Venerable Master Hong Zhen smiled and stopped talking, led them in, and ordered someone to entertain them with good tea and water.

After Mu Yan sat down, he immediately went straight to the point, and said, "This time, on the orders of the master, I came to investigate the plague in the northwest region, can Master Hongzhen tell me in detail." ”

When Venerable Hongzhen heard this, he restrained his smile, straightened his expression, and said, "It's a long story. Here's the thing. ”

Then the Venerable Master Hongzhen told the story one by one.

Deep in the Northwest Territories, there is a forbidden place called the Sunless Forest.

The deeper you go in the Sunless Forest, the more mysterious it becomes. No one has ever walked into the heart of the forest, because no one who has gone in has ever returned. And it's not like you want to get in, the Sunless Forest is extremely weird, and sometimes you can't get to the center of the forest after walking for a few years. Legend has it that there was once a monk who did not believe in evil and went alone to the depths of the Sunless Forest, never to return. Since then, people have called this sunless forest a forbidden place on the mainland.

Although it is a forbidden place, as long as you are careful not to enter the depths of the forest, this sunless forest is not a place that cannot be treaded.

The periphery of this Sunless Forest is much more dangerous than other ordinary places, but the resources are extremely rich, rare spirit grasses and high-level demon beasts that cannot be seen in other places can be seen in the Sunless Forest, and many monks without sects and sects are relying on breaking in and out of this dangerous place to obtain resources to sell or use for themselves, and where there are trades and trades, people gather, and it is precisely because of this that a prosperous town has been derived next to the Sunless Forest, called Sunset City.

Because this town is close to the Sunless Forest, the prosperity is no less than that of Xueli Town, and it is a more famous immortal town in the northwest region. And this is where the plague came.

Sunset City was a mix of mermaids, all kinds of people, and at one point, a man escaped from the Sunless Forest, festering and stenching. As soon as he returned to the city, he shouted and became delirious, and he told the people to leave quickly, there was a devil. There are devils in this sunless forest.

At first people didn't believe it, because it was just a monk in the heartbeat period, and people didn't put it on them. But as more and more adventurers came out of the Sunless Forest with the same symptoms. People started to pay attention. But when people found out that they began to pay attention to it, it was too late, because not only the people who came out of the Sunless Forest had these symptoms, but even the people in Sunset City began to fester, and the festering places emitted a foul smell, not to mention, when they were festering all over their bodies, the cultivation in their bodies was also regressing little by little.

That's when people start panicking and trying to figure out what to do, but they find that nothing can be done to stop the symptoms. Mortals who suffer from this strange disease will die once the festering spreads to the whole body, while the monk ulcerates to the whole body is the moment when the cultivation is completely gone.

People panicked and left Sunset City one after another, some to find a famous doctor from the mainland, and some to return to the family, after all, there would also be many family seed disciples there who were training in the Sunless Forest. After leaving, people noticed a strange scene, after moving away from the Sunless Forest, the speed of festering on the body decreased, and the closer to the Sunless Forest, the faster the body festered.

After discovering this fact, everyone fled, but it was precisely because of this that it also brought another problem. Wherever these people passed, many people who had never been to the Sunless Forest contracted the disease.

Therefore, there is this tricky scene in the northwest region now, where every city refuses to allow mortals with these symptoms to enter the city. Because it is not clear by what means that these diseases are transmitted.

Hearing this, Bai Xue had another question, and she said to the Venerable Master Hongzhen, "We have seen many monks in the city with these symptoms. ”

Her subconscious meaning was that if she was afraid that someone with this symptom would infect someone else again, why should the monk come in, and if she guessed correctly, the monk would be the main source of infection.

Venerable Hongzhen obviously understood what she meant, shook his head and said, "Because there are too many monks in the northwest region who have been infected with this strange disease, it is impossible and impossible to refuse them entry into the city, and besides, this strange disease is not contagious as long as you come into contact with it, some people will get it, and some people will not. ”

I see, Bai Xue nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then the Venerable Master Hongzhen continued, "Now the Sunset City is an empty city, and the people there have left. No one can stop it. If it is not resolved, I am afraid that this situation will not be limited to the Northwest Territories. ”

Mu Yan frowned, it turned out that the situation was so bad, no wonder the outer branch of the Wanshan Sect would ask for help from the sect. He held a sound transmission jade slip in his hand, and his divine sense carved into it, apparently reporting to the sect in time.

Master Hongzhen was always paying attention to Mu Yan, and naturally noticed this scene, she looked at the sound transmission jade in his hand with envy in her eyes.

It is not a simple sound transmission jade slip, it is a sound transmission slip of thousands of miles, which can transmit information over long distances, and it is not much more precious than ordinary jade slips.

Mu Yan stood up, arched his hand to the Venerable Master Hongzhen, and said bluntly: "Thank you Venerable Hongzhen for telling me, the situation is not optimistic, and I will not stay longer when I am on the task of serving the master." ”

Venerable Master Hongzhen also got up, but said, "I'm afraid that Mu Gongzi and the others are going to the branch of the Wanshan Sect stationed in the northwest, right? And I hope to go with everyone and explore. ”

Oh, go together?

Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, then nodded.

One more person is better than one less, not to mention, this Red True Venerable Master's cultivation is not low.
