Chapter 4: The White Mist

Three months later, the swamp of the depression:

On the east side of the depression, it is already a scorched earth. www.biquge.info Yuanxing borrowed a set of loose clothes from Chang Sheng, and at the moment he was digging something in the ground like an ordinary villager. Voices came from behind him:

"I couldn't find you early in the morning, but I knew you were going to come here!" Chang Sheng returned to his hometown, still with lingering palpitations, "Take a look...... It burns like ruins! Right there! Chang Sheng pointed to the place where Yuan Xing was rescued and said, "First I dug you out of the soil, and then your sword and sword box, I searched for a long time." ”

"It's a blessing to be able to get a life back!" Yuan Xing got up and patted the dust, "Brother Chang's kindness, Yuan Xing is unforgettable." ”

Chang Sheng saw that Taiyi's sword box and burden were at Yuan Xing's feet.

"What? Dao Chief, this is leaving? You told me yesterday that you were going to leave this place, and I thought I would stay for at least a few more days. If it weren't for my quick walk, I wouldn't have seen you. ”

"Gotta go, I still have important business to finish."

"What a success! The Dao Chief's injuries have not healed yet! ”

"If you can move freely, it's fine." Yuan Xing bowed, "Thank you for taking care of you for more than three months!" ”

Chang Sheng replied: "Dao Leader doesn't have to be like this! Alas...... Anyway, it's important. ”

"If you see Dr. Jiang, be sure to hand over this thing for me, and it will be regarded as a repayment." Yuan Xing reached into his sleeve and stuffed a white cloth into Chang Sheng's hand.

"This is the dragon king's hatred."

"Huh?!" Changsheng opened the white cloth and opened it, and it contained the rhizome of a plant, stained with some soil. Inside the green and yellow skin, there is a thick red line, and the color is strong and weak in the sun.

"Go back and cut it and remove the red stems. After three days of exposure, it can be used medicinally. ”

"I thought they were all burned to ashes!"

Yuan Xing shook his head, "Each rhizome that the Dragon King hates can grow independently, and it is difficult to die. ”

"What! It's worth it! Could it be that there are still remnants in the depression? ”

"In your lifetime, it is no longer possible for it to be cultivated. Rather than destroy it, make good use of it. When used properly, it is a good medicine. ”

"Old man Jiang will definitely be very happy...... It's just ......" often wants to speak and stop.

Yuan Xing knew that Chang Sheng was worried about the strange disease that suddenly appeared in Taolin Village.

"A few days ago, Brother Chang told me that Taolin Village was in trouble, and hoped that I could do my part. If it is to kill demons, I have no hesitation, but healing and disaster relief is not my forte. Now I have lost all my mana, and my right hand is inconvenient, like a wasted person, and it is difficult to protect myself. I hope that Brother Chang will not be surprised! ”

"No, no, no!" Chang Sheng hurriedly waved his hand.

The hour was not early, Yuan Xing and Chang Sheng parted here, and Chang Sheng looked reluctant.

As he was leaving, Yuan Xing came to a clean place, where a grave stood with no name on the plank.

Yuan Xing said goodbye to the grave.

Peach Fog Forest:

I don't know if Yuan Xing is used to avoiding the pursuit of the doorman, or if he has never liked to follow the rules, he never walks along the mountain road, and he was lost in the mountain again within a few hours of being separated from Chang Sheng.

There was no road deep in the mountains, and it was difficult to walk, Wang Yuanxing walked for a while before finally seeing a stream. He squatted by the river, plucked the water with his hands, and drank it with both hands, the cool water soaked through his lungs, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

Yuan Xing, who was full of drink, looked at the blue water in front of him carefully, and was actually reflected by the large peach petals. There is a saying: the grass is green in the rain, and the peach blossoms on the water are red. Looking up, it turned out that there was a peach forest on the other side of the stream, but the fog in the depths of the forest was thick, and it seemed a little unusual for the hour of noon.

This should be the peach forest that Brother Chang said...... Yuan Xing looked around. According to Chang Sheng's description, the peach grove was to the east of the village, and Yuan Xing clearly remembered that he was going south. But now that I'm here, I'm just going to check it out. If you can get something, you can be regarded as having an explanation for Brother Chang.

Yuan Xing waded through the water, thinking in his heart that he was not able to do anything at the moment, even if there was spiritual energy in the mountain, or demonic energy, he couldn't sense it, like being deaf and dumb. Fortunately, you can still taste it in your mouth, you can still smell it in your nose, and even if you pick a few delicious peaches to fill your stomach, it is good.

Since ancient times, the peach has been a symbol of fertility, auspiciousness, and longevity. Its fruits are numerous and easy to plant, symbolizing many sons and blessings. Its branches are used to drive away evil spirits and seek good fortune, which comes from animism. However, what Yuan Xing saw in the peach forest can only be described as weird.

The trunks of large peach trees are covered with uneven grayish-white wax material, and only the peach blossoms are red like blood. Yuan Xing circled in the forest for an hour, did not see a few peach trees bear fruit, even if it bears fruit, it is also a convex and uneven deformed fruit, some peach fruit flesh is empty, the internal wood plug, some peach fruit is broken and gelatinous, and the flesh sinks.

Legend has it that peaches are the fruit eaten by the gods. After eating the first-class peach, you can live with heaven and earth, and with the sun and moon; After eating a second-class peach, Kexia lifted and soared, and lived forever; After eating a third-class peach, you can also become an immortal and become a Taoist, and your body is light. But now the peaches in front of Yuan Xing are lucky not to be poisoned and die.

In addition to this, the white fog in this forest is also extremely unusual. Fog is not just formed by water vapor, it contains a large number of tiny, dense floating particles. The whole white mist shrouded the peach forest like a steamer, and there was a dome covering the sky, and the light of the sun and moon was not visible. There is a white mist below, hiding everything around it. You can't see anything at all just a few meters away.

Yuan Xing originally had a very poor sense of direction, but he couldn't find the direction when he wanted to leave the Peach Mist Forest at this time. Back then, Master Xuxian said that he how could a person who studied the formation confuse the direction. However, with years of specialized research experience and current intuition, Yuan Xing still saw some clues in this peach mist forest.

Although the overall arrangement of the peach trees could not be seen in the dense fog, Yuan Xing found that the peach forest was by no means naturally formed, and must have been artificially planted, but it had been neglected for many years, and the original layout had become messy.

Yuan Xing closed his eyes and opened his arms, feeling the surging air currents in the peach forest with all his heart, like a river that curved and swirled, converging towards the spring. The eyes, feet, void, and reality complement each other, all revealing indescribable familiarity. This may be a variation of the Kui Covered Water Array, and Yuan Xing did not dare to assert it easily at this time. This kind of formation is not fierce, but the effect is obvious.

There must be something strange in that spring!

The white mist blocked Yuan Xing's line of sight, but the formation position was always changing. Yuan Xing ran to the center of the peach forest, and the scenery around him was no different from before. However, at the spring, a stone dragon was found, and it was huge.

The dragon resembles a turtle, the turtle's back is about two or three people high, and it is struggling to move forward with its head held high, and the image is mighty. But what it is carrying is not a stone tablet, but a huge snake head towering towards the sky, and the combination of the two is quite strange.

Yuan Xing rubbed and knocked on it in detail, and found that the dragon's body was hollow. He climbed up to the dragon's head and neck, reached into the dragon's dark mouth, and felt the breeze gently.

It's just that at this time, Yuan Xing felt that his chest and lungs were out of breath, and his clothes and bare arms were covered with a layer of ash-like substance.

Wang Yuanxing lit the fire talisman, slapped it with an open flame all over the mountain for a week, and faded the white ash. It's good that there is no fire in this forest, just because there is a dazzling light here, and the crackling wings of the surrounding peach forest are endless.

Yuan Xing's heart was also palpitating, and he didn't know what he had alarmed was chasing after him. Yuan Xing chose a direction with the least sound, and ran away. Several peach trees behind him made an "empty" crashing sound as if they had been shot by a dense array of bows and arrows.

There was also something in front of him, which hit Yuan Xing's forehead directly, causing him to lose his balance and stumble to the ground. As it should have been, he dodged more attacks. Yuan Xing grabbed the flying insects on his forehead, and he saw clearly this time, these big oval white insects flying in front of him had two pairs of wings, with large forewings and small hindwings. There is a protruding eye tumor on the head, and the body hair is sharp and prickly.

Wang Yuanxing wanted to cast a spell, but his qi was not smooth, and he couldn't do anything. Only use the sword box to block the front door, narrowly avoid the peach tree that suddenly appeared in the fog in front of him, and run desperately. The army of white worms persevered, Yuan Xing was tired of running, and after running for a long time, there was suddenly a light in front of him, and he finally rushed out of the peach mist forest.

Before he could take a calm breath, he saw a girl in green clothes in front of him with her back to Yuan Xing. In front of the peach mist forest, more than 20 villagers gathered around the girl, each holding a torch in his hand. A villager pointed in the direction of the girl and shouted, "Burn!!" ”

Yuan Xing stepped forward and blocked the girl behind him and said, "You group of big men, what is it to burn a girl!" ”

"Huh?!" The girl in Tsing Yi was taken aback by Yuan Xing, "Who are you?" How did you suddenly appear here? ”

A villager in the back pointed to the forest with a pale face: "Demon ...... Demon Bugs! ”

The army of white insects rushed out of the peach forest in groups, flying up and down around the villagers, and the villagers scattered and fled, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

"Don't panic! Wave your torches! Chase away with fire! Yuan Xing shouted. He opened the sword box and pulled out the Eight Desolations, slashing the white worm in front of him. Taking advantage of the chaos, Yuan Xing took advantage of the situation and pulled the woman in Tsing Yi to run out.

"Let it go! Who are you and what the hell are you going to do!? ”

Yuan Xing ignored the woman's shouts, and while taking care of her, he covered the evacuation of the villagers around him. However, the swarm of insects only flew around for a while before returning to the forest, and the hillside was littered with insect corpses.

The girl couldn't break free of Yuan Xing's grip on her hand, so she had to kick hard towards the popliteal socket behind his knee, and Yuan Xing was kicked and almost fell to his knees. Yuan Xing, who had just turned around, was slapped loudly by the woman again, and was stunned on the spot.

"I'm saving you......"

"You broke into the peach forest and lured out so many demon insects! If you hurt yourself, you have to hurt others! The girl said with a look of disappreciation, "Although I don't know who you are, I kindly remind you." You strayed into the peach forest, and you have been poisoned by the white mist, so you can do it yourself! ”

"Poisoned?" Yuan Xing kneaded his cheeks.

"No one was hurt, right!?" The woman in Tsing Yi recalled the villagers who had escaped, "No matter what, the peach forest must be burned today, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Under the leadership of the woman in Tsing Yi, the villagers approached the mountain forest again.

"Wait!"

An old man struggled to climb a gentle slope with the support of middle-aged villagers.

"Village Chief Qiao! Since you have asked me to deal with this matter, trust my judgment! ”

"Miss Su......" Village Chief Qiao said angrily, "The peach forest can't be burned!" This...... This is something that has been passed down from our ancestors for generations! ”

"The peach forest has killed so many people, and when the white mist continues to spread, I'm afraid that your entire village won't be able to save it!"

"There's no other way! As long as this white mist can be removed, I believe that the peach forest and the village can be saved! ”

"Village Chief! A villager died just yesterday! Look at this young man again. The girl in Tsing Yi pointed at Yuan Xing and said, "Maybe there will be more unsuspecting outsiders entering the peach forest, and how many people will be sacrificed in vain!" ”

"I don't know where this white fog came from! If the peach forest burns and the white mist still does not disperse, what should it do? ”

"This ......"

"The vision in the forest is a mystery, if you don't know the cause, there will indeed be endless troubles." Yuan Xing interjected; "But the peach grove must not be destroyed!"

All the eyes of the surrounding people were focused on this remote villager.

Yuan Xing roughly understood the situation at the scene at this moment, these people should be the villagers of Taolin Village. Although Yuan Xing had been recuperating in the forest hut for three months, he had never descended the mountain into Taolin Village. Except for Chang Sheng and Dr. Jiang, the villagers didn't know about their existence.

Wang Yuanxing meditated on the spot and lit the fire talisman and stuffed it into his mouth. The villagers watched as he endured the pain and forcibly swallowed the fire into his throat. After a flurry of convulsions and a fierce cough, Yuan Xing slowly got up from the ground with green smoke coming out of his nose.

The gentle slope was quiet, and no one knew why the young man had harmed himself.

Old Village Chief Qiao came to Yuan Xing: "Young man, you are ......"

Yuan Xing felt dull in his chest after staying in the forest for a while: "Whether the fog is poisonous or not is not yet known." I use fire in my lungs, just in case. ”

"You know how to prevent poison?"

"I don't know if it's useful. However, he is a traveling doctor in the rivers and lakes and knows a little about medical science. ”

Other villagers interrupted, "You're from the forest, but what kind of monsters do you see in there?" ”

"The peach forest was destroyed by aphids, and although the white aphid was large, it was not a monster." Yuan Xing picked up the white aphid corpse on the ground and stretched it out for everyone to see.

"I don't know where the villagers came from! Full of nonsense! The aphid, which used to be the size of a grain of rice, is now the size of a sparrow! The body is as big as a demon, what is it that is not a monster into a spirit!? The girl in Tsing Yi was robbed of the limelight, and at this moment she was dissatisfied: "Village chief, please make a decision immediately!" The forest is full of monsters. It is a demon insect and feeds on peach trees. Burning the peach forest is the best way to resolve the crisis. ”

Yuan Xing objected: "Most of the peach trees in the forest have been destroyed, and a large number of aphids are breeding in the trees. If it is an ordinary insect plague, fire is the most fundamental and effective way to eliminate the pest. It's just that this peach forest ......"

The woman in Tsing Yi finally couldn't help it, "Who the hell are you!" Don't meddle here! ”

"Miss Su, don't be angry!" Village Chief Qiao relieved the siege and said, "It's always good to have one more person to contribute." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi hugged her fist to Yuan Xing and said, "I! Tianshan Tianlongguan disciple Su Wuqian! I don't know your name! ”

Tianlong view?! Yuan Xing's originally lazy eyes suddenly emitted a sharp edge.

"You're still glaring at me?!" Su Wuqian waved her fist in front of Yuan Xing's eyes and said, "I asked you what your name is!" ”

"Wang ...... Yuan Xing ...... "His voice is very small.
